Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 372 Arrangements: Forming the Ghost Army

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how have you been?"

I've heard a lot about your fame, even though I'm on the road.

You single-handedly fought against the super genius Xu Qingyan, who was said to have secluded himself for three years and directly advanced to the Soul Refining Realm, yet you still managed to defeat him.

It truly shocked me.

Shen Chenxue regained her composure, but her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of amazement.

She already knew that Chen Yushu's cultivation speed was extremely fast, and his strength and methods were also incredibly amazing. He was truly a peerless genius.

Even in Tianling County, Xu Qingyan's reputation was renowned, and she knew that he was definitely one of the most outstanding geniuses of the time, perhaps even the number one genius.

Reaching the Soul Refining Realm level in strength is almost inevitable.

The strength displayed by the opponent proved this point.

As a result, this dazzling figure was defeated by Chen Yushu, which was a huge shock to him.

It all felt a little unreal to him.

However, the numerous rumors circulating in Daocheng County all confirmed this, which made her admire and respect Chen Yushu even more.

"you flatter me."

Chen Yushu waved his hand, not caring about these empty titles.

"By the way, you invited us here this time because you said you obtained the qualification to explore a level three immortal mountain..."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Chenxue couldn't help but ask.

A level three immortal mountain.

However, it was different from the ancient cultivation cave they had previously entered.

Ancient cultivation caves, if judged by the level of immortal mountains, are at most the peak of the first level, or even less than the second level.

The third-level immortal mountain is not only enormous, but also contains an incredible abundance of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

It can be said that a level three immortal mountain could directly relocate an entire sect with a Soul Refining Realm cultivator in charge, and there would still be room to spare.

It can supply three to five Soul Refining Realm cultivators to cultivate together, and can also support and train thousands of Yin-Walking cultivators.

It can also cultivate tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields, nurturing tens of thousands of spiritual beasts.

Once put to use, its value is truly immeasurable.

"That's right.

What was assigned to me was Mount Xianfeng, located within eighty miles of the wild forest.

The main threats to this sacred mountain are that immortal phoenix and three demons…

Chen Yushu explained once, and then said, "However, I will handle all of this."

All you need to do is clean up the mess after the land reclamation and develop enough industries.

In fact, I originally thought you would come after the land reclamation was completed, but I didn't expect you to arrive the day before.

I just don't know about Fellow Daoist Favored by God and the others..."

Chen Yushu nodded and then explained.

"They will indeed be a little slower."

I just couldn't wait any longer, so I came ahead of time.

Besides wanting to know the situation as soon as possible, I also wanted to meet up with a good friend.

At this point, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Qiao'er with a wistful look.

Deep down, the person she most wanted to see wasn't that so-called friend.

Just thinking about Qiao'er by Chen Yushu's side made her feel a little sour.

However, she quickly gathered her thoughts and continued, "This time, I brought a total of twenty people with me, including plant masters, alchemists, weapon refiners, and of course some cultivators with considerable strength."

When Fellow Daoist Chen is reclaiming the wasteland, he will inevitably lack manpower, and all these people can be used.

They can be trusted.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Violet."

I am indeed short-handed.

Although Sister Qiao recruited some, it was far from enough.

Although there are many cultivators in Daocheng County, most of them are affiliated with various sects and forces.

There are relatively few independent cultivators.

Even if there were one or two capable individuals, they would be spies sent by other forces, not worth recruiting. The people you brought, fellow Daoist, have truly solved my urgent problem.

Chen Yushu was delighted to hear this, and then looked at Liu Qiao'er and said, "Sister Qiao'er, there is another matter I need to trouble you with."

"Yu Shu, you speak."

Liu Qiao'er said repeatedly.

"Have someone inquire about which other forces in Daocheng County are relatively strong, besides the five forces that obtained the right to cultivate the third-level immortal mountains."

These people would never give up the profits from land reclamation.

It's hard to guarantee they won't pull some dirty tricks.

"it is good!"

Liu Qiao'er quickly nodded in agreement.

……

Liu Qiao'er acted very quickly. Chen Yushu had just finished discussing the specific details of personnel placement with Shen Chenxue in the evening and had only been cultivating in his room for half an hour when he heard her familiar footsteps outside the door.

"Yu Shu." Liu Qiao'er knocked gently on the door and then pushed it open, her face showing a hint of solemnity. She held a jade slip in her hand. "There's news."

Chen Yushu opened his eyes, his gaze calm and composed: "So fast?"

"Ah."

Liu Qiao'er nodded and handed over the jade slip. "Those in Daocheng County and even the surrounding counties who are interested in the Level 3 Immortal Mountain are far more than those on the surface."

Through the Ghost Spirit Gate and several well-informed brokers, I gathered information from various sources and learned some details.

She spoke faster and more clearly: "There are a total of five companies that need attention."

These are Black Fiend Valley, Xuan Yin Sect, Four Seas Merchant Alliance, the Wan Family Cultivation Clan, and Corpse Sea Sect.

Of these five, Black Fiend Valley and Corpse Sea Sect are both outside forces, drawn here by this land reclamation effort, and they have sent almost all of their elite forces.

Black Fiend Valley is a ghost cultivation sect located in the neighboring 'Yunchuan County'.

The Valley Master, 'Black Cloud Venerable,' is at the early stage of the Soul Refining Realm, with a cultivation level of True and False Realms.

It is worth noting that he also has a late-stage Disaster-level ghost spirit under his command, whose strength is comparable to that of a Soul Refining Realm cultivator.

The Corpse Sea Sect, in fact, also belongs to Daocheng County, but its location is relatively remote and far away. The sect mainly focuses on raising and refining corpses. It is said that there are tens of thousands of refined corpses in the Corpse Sea Sect. The strongest among them should be an old refined corpse with golden armor, known as having an invincible and indestructible physical body, and is not afraid of water or fire. It is even stronger than many true and false cultivators in the early stage of the Soul Refining Realm.

As for the Xuan Yin Sect, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, and the Wan Family, they are all forces within Daocheng County, and each has at least one expert comparable to a True Person in the Soul Refining Realm.

The leader of the Xuan Yin Sect is ostensibly the Xuan Yin Elder, but in reality, the one in charge is the Fengshen Guiling Jiyin Dimu, who is said to be only one step away from reaching the Calamity level.

Although the Four Seas Business Alliance is nominally a chamber of commerce, it has a powerful background and has recruited many strong individuals. For example, Yunhe Zhenren is one of the Seven True Men of the Martial Kingdom, just like Baigui Daoren. Although he is ranked low, his strength should not be underestimated.

The last one, the Wan family, was the second largest family in terms of market value, after the fake one. They had a deep foundation and numerous businesses in Daocheng County.

Logically speaking, the Wan family should also have a spot, but for some reason, the prefect did not give them one..."

Liu Qiao'er explained, and then handed over the jade slip containing the corresponding information.

Chen Yushu reached out and took it, without explaining why the Wan family hadn't received the jade slip—it was because Li Haohai had promised the spot to him in advance.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed detailed records of the key figures, their specialties, past deeds, and recent activities in Daocheng County for these five factions.

This intelligence is detailed and accurate, demonstrating Liu Qiao'er's deep dedication.

Five threats at the Soul Refining Realm level!

How much of a constraint can the rules set by Li Haohai in the main hall have in the face of real interests and strength? When it comes to reclaiming Immortal Phoenix Mountain, the obvious enemies are the Immortal Phoenix and the Three Demon Gods, but the number of wolves and tigers lurking in the shadows is even more staggering!
"Very good, Sister Qiao'er, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Yushu put away the jade slip, his face calm and expressionless, but a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes. "I hope they can exercise restraint. Otherwise, if anyone dares to reach out, I will chop off their hands."

"But do we really not accept foreign aid?"

The third-level immortal mountain is fraught with danger. Relying on just the few of us might not be enough, would it?

Liu Qiao'er said with a hint of worry.

Actually, her idea was to bring in a force to participate.

Because of this, the pressure they bear will be much less.

After all, there are four known threats at the Soul Refining Realm level on Immortal Phoenix Mountain. Although Chen Yushu is powerful, he is ultimately outnumbered and outmatched.

Not to mention, countless demons and spirits must live in any sacred mountain, and ghosts and spirits must exist in any dark place.

Even if most of them are relatively weak, their numbers are considerable, and given the vast area of ​​the immortal mountain, it's hard to guarantee that there are still powerful hidden monsters that haven't been discovered.

With their manpower, they are indeed somewhat insufficient.

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

Chen Yushu smiled confidently.

……

Farewell to Liu Qiao'er.

Chen Yushu then sat down cross-legged.

The lack of manpower is indeed a problem.

However, this problem is not as big as imagined.

Because he can also obtain a large number of contracted spirits from the underworld.

In the underworld, there are countless ghosts and spirits.

Although he had previously only contracted with the Evil-Faced Ghost, the Red-Haired Corpse King, the Pig Demon Elephant, the Flying Blood Zombie, and the Night King, it did not mean that he could not contract with more ghosts.

It was only enough for a short period of time, so not much effort was wasted.

now.

Since land reclamation requires manpower, and the underworld is teeming with countless powerful ghosts, he naturally wouldn't let such a resource slip by.

Then, a thought struck him.

His soul left his body and immediately appeared in the Netherworld.

Within the Netherworld, Chen Yushu was still in the area where he had previously cultivated his various supernatural abilities.

There was no one around at this time, not even a ghost.

After all, when he cultivated his supernatural powers, the commotion was enormous, and the power was terrifyingly incredible.

Let alone ordinary ghosts and spirits, even evil spirits and malevolent spirits could be affected and killed if they get close.

Therefore, within a radius of several hundred feet around him, there was absolutely no one who dared to approach.

He didn't care about that, then with a thought, he activated the Spirit Communication Seal, and a voice rang out, "Come here, all of you!"

His voice was soft.

But at this moment, all the artifact spirits in the underworld clearly heard what Chen Yushu said.

Instantly, everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed towards Chen Yushu.

"Owner!"

The first to arrive was the King of Yelang.

It is the strongest, having now reached the subjugation level of the Demonic Realm, making it the most powerful among the various Spirit Contracts.

It bowed respectfully and stood aside.

Next up was the Flying Blood Zombie. Although it was slightly weaker than the King of Yelang, it was, after all, a newly crowned king of a region. Coupled with its flying ability, its speed was also extremely fast.

This is still because he hasn't used his innate supernatural power, the Blood Escape Technique.

Otherwise, it would be much faster than the King of Yelang.

Then came the Pig Elephant, the Red-haired Corpse King, and the Evil-faced Demon.

The pig demon elephant, in particular, is enormous in size and has a solidified soul, so every step it takes on the ground makes a huge sound.

Boom boom boom!
The noise was frightening.

"I've met the master!"

A group of ghosts bowed respectfully.

"Flying Blood Zombie!"

Chen Yushu nodded, and then spoke.

"exist!"

Flying Blood Zombie quickly responded.

"Summon all the ghosts under your command. As long as they are evil spirits or above, and you believe they have potential and strength, summon them all."

In addition, collect as many powerful ghosts as possible within a radius of a thousand miles.

Next, I'm going to plunder the Spirit Contracts on a massive scale.

Assemble an army of ghosts.

Chen Yushu's eyes flickered, his tone filled with domineering arrogance.

If it were before, he would have had some doubts.

After all, there are countless powerful beings in the Underworld.

To say nothing of the distant past, the Flame Demon God he encountered early on was a true Calamity-level being with terrifying strength.

But as he learned more about the Underworld, he also realized that most of those beings had their own territories and were mostly in a state of slumber. They would only leave their territories to devour ghosts when they needed to eat.

Therefore, he hadn't encountered it for a long time.

His strength and realm had improved, and his combat power was incomparable to what it used to be due to the mastery of many supernatural abilities, so he naturally had enough confidence.

"Yes!"

Flying Blood Zombie quickly responded and immediately flew out.

It will not, and cannot, resist Chen Yushu's orders in the slightest.

The spirits bound by the Divine Seal of Spiritual Communication cannot possibly betray him; they obey his commands completely.

Before long, the Flying Blood Zombie brought more than ten ghost spirits with it, all of whom had joined its ranks recently.

Most of them are at the level of evil spirits, but there are also two at the level of vengeful spirits. Although they are only at the early stage of vengeful spirits, they are still quite powerful.

Then, Chen Yushu began to cast the Spirit Communication Seal one by one.

With his current mastery of the Spirit Communication Divine Seal, which has reached a perfect level, there is almost no possibility of failure; he is accurate every time.

Soon, he successfully contracted with more than a dozen ghosts.

"But it's not enough."

Chen Yushu was naturally not satisfied with this.

Then, glancing at the many ghosts, he said, "Let's go, head to other places."

As he spoke, a thought struck him, and he chose a direction and quickly flew away into the distance.

The other ghosts naturally dared not hesitate and immediately followed suit, taking flight as well.

From a distance, ghostly figures could be seen moving across the sky, spreading out and blotting out the sun, truly terrifying.

Chen Yushu took the lead and quickly used the Great Cave Observation Technique to spy on the situation of the ghosts and spirits within a certain range.

Soon, his gaze sharpened as he spotted a ghost spirit with decent strength.
