Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 89 The Fourth Destiny: Possessed by a Fierce Ghost
The big golden toad swallowed the [Dragon Ointment] and shuddered all over. He looked very happy and seemed to be in a very good mood.

It then opened both eyes wide, looked at Jing Qian, and said again:
"Your [Dragon Ointment] tastes delicious. The bloodline is pure and it's exceptionally fresh. I haven't tasted something this good in a long time."

"Don't bother setting up a stall. I'll buy all the Dragon Cream you have, and I won't let you get a bad price."

After saying that, the big golden toad blinked its big eyes and looked at it expectantly.

Jing Qian curled his lips, chose to give in, and agreed to the other party's forced purchase and sale.

However, this price cannot be set casually!

The last time he came to the [kitchen], he had tried his best to find out the market prices of various commodities.

I already have a psychological price for the twenty jars of [Dragon Cream] in my hand.

The old toad opposite has a cultivation level of at least the fourth rank. He is the strongest creature Jing Qian has ever seen in his life. He must be well-off.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"Since the Frog God has spoken, I still have nineteen jars of Dragon Cream, so I'll sell them all to you, sir."

"I was thinking of exchanging this [Dragon Ointment] for a high-quality [Life Fire] to use in refining [Spiritual Energy]. This must be a piece of cake for you."

After saying that, Jing Qian fixed his gaze on the burning flame under the belly of the big golden toad.

He stared straight at her, his meaning self-evident.

The big golden toad glanced at Jing Qian and replied:
"You want my [Life Toad Purifying Fire]? You're quite greedy."

The big toad smacked its lips, as if savoring the taste of the Dragon Cream.

This kind of treasure is really rare. If you miss it, you will have to wait for a long time.

Besides, the other [Kitchen Spirits] are as cunning as ghosts. When they come across such good stuff, they keep it for themselves without caring about the old man's hard work and great contributions in guarding the cave.

It doesn't matter if it's more expensive. Anyway, I don't have the low-level [Life Fire] account, and I can't bring myself to ask others to exchange it for change.

Lord Jin Chan rolled up his tongue and rolled out a strange [Life Fire] from the fire under his belly.

The flame was pure gold, but it was flashing with colorful fluorescence, which was extremely gorgeous.

Jing Qian had come into contact with many levels of [Life Fire], but he had never seen such a beautiful, such a concentrated, and such a magical fire.

The fire flowed like water, sinking straight into Jing Qian's body. He felt a raging fire filling his chest.

Blessed by this [Life Fire], his dwarf-legged Chinchilla incarnation suddenly grew more than ten times in size, with golden light flashing all over his body, like a Northeastern golden tabby.

For a moment, he felt that his whole body was filled with extremely powerful magic power. In a trance, he seemed to have become a fourth-grade [Star Picking] powerhouse on par with Jin Chan.

The next second, this [Life Fire] was connected by breath and fell into the [Void Furnace].

The power of [World Solution] flashed, and the information of this fire was analyzed:
【Life Toad Cleansing Fire】

[Rank: Fourth Grade]

[Source: Shangsu·Mingchan Soul-Nourishing Furnace]

The value of this fourth-grade [Life Fire] is difficult to measure using normal wealth.

After all, such treasures are rarely circulated in the world. Whoever gets them will just digest them on their own and use them to strengthen their practice.

If twenty jars of [Dragon Ointment] could be exchanged for a few fifth-grade [Life Fire], it would be considered a great fortune for Jing Qian, not to mention the even rarer fourth-grade [Life Toad Cleansing Fire].

It is stated in the "Ming Zao Chapter" that if a [Ming Zao] is promoted all the way to the fifth rank, he can offer sacrifices to the heavens, respond to the stars in the sky, seek a title, and receive divine blessings.

Among them, the fifth grade corresponds to the scattered stars in the lower constellations, and the fourth grade corresponds to the host stars in the upper constellations.

The [Life Toad Soul-Nourishing Furnace] where the golden toad resides is a fourth-grade [Life Stove] that corresponds to the stars in the sky.

It was a great chance for Jing Qian to be able to exchange for one of the [Life Fires], and it was also thanks to the [Dragon Ointment] in his hand that aroused the golden toad's greed.

[Life Toad Soul Nurturing Furnace] lived a luxurious life for a while during its rapid growth period.

At that time, the Dharma power behind it spared no expense and poured in resources in order to push it to a higher level.

Not to mention the mere [Dragon Cream], even the higher-level [True Dragon Spinal Cord] and [Qilin Blood] are a feast for the eyes and a delight to the senses.

However, as it was promoted to the [Fourth Rank] and successfully reached the Heavenly Star, achieving its interim goals, its living standards plummeted.

Xiao Tiantian became Mrs. Niu. Not only did she lose her food and drink, she also had to work hard to produce [Life Fire] and support the Dharma lineage, living a life like an ox or a horse.

After so many hard times, it has almost forgotten what [Dragon Cream] tastes like.

It was finally its turn to guard the kitchen, which was like giving itself a break.

Now, taking a sip of this [Dragon Cream], I feel quite comfortable.

Jing Qian presented the remaining nineteen jars of [Dragon Cream], leaving Jin Chan to taste it alone, and then took his leave.

Most of the mission of this trip to the [Kitchen] has been completed. The fourth-grade [Life Fire] he has obtained is enough for him to completely refine the [Rotating Emperor Seal] to the perfect state and open up six sides in a very short period of time.

This trip back and forth saved him at least thirty years of hard work, which was extremely useful and solved a big problem for him.

Afterwards, Jing Qian continued walking along the [Kitchen] Road and came to the Golden House again.

Fan Zhuoyi had been waiting here for a long time.

She bowed first and said:
"Senior, I have collected the three things you mentioned and can hand them over to you."

Jing Qian nodded, and sent out a trace of spiritual consciousness, which landed on the golden house.

This golden house, specially used for the delivery of precious materials, has the magical effect of creating legal contracts and can effectively protect the rights and interests of both buyers and sellers.

Seeing Jing Qian initiate the contract without hesitation, Fan Zhuoyi breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved, and handed him three items.

Then, he also placed his spiritual consciousness on the golden house.

The oath was fulfilled and Jing Qian took the three items.

It was actually a thick cloak made of black silk and two jade slips containing information.

Only Fan Zhuoyi said:
"Senior, this cloak is woven entirely from the silk threads of the eighth-grade [Green Ghost Spider]. The raw materials have not been processed in any way. If you need the precious materials, you only need to disassemble them."

"I took the initiative to weave it into a robe, which can save a lot of [Life Fire] shipping costs. I hope you can understand."

"The other two jade slips contain the information you want."

"The information about the [Academy Feast] is quite complete. Every family in my [Yingdu] has inherited records of the feast, which is enough for you to understand the details."

"However, the information about [Zhuling Cave Heaven] is too rare, and is only in the hands of twelve major Dharma lineages. I can only do my best to try to collect it."

Jing Qian nodded without saying anything more. This was enough to satisfy his needs.

There are less than three months left before the opening of [Zhuling Cave Heaven]. There is not much preparation he can do, and he can only fight against the enemy as they come.

"I will arrange for my juniors to go to [Yingdu] to find you as soon as possible. Please wait patiently."

The two reached a final agreement and left the kitchen separately.

Jing Qian returned to the [Virtual Realm], put away the three treasures, and then came to the [Void Furnace].

At this time, in the [Life Stove], there was one fourth-grade [Life Toad Cleansing Fire], fifteen fifth-grade [Yangdian Dragon Robe Fire Evil], seven [Blue Blood Life Fire] and four [Green Wing Life Fire].

After the [Life Stove] was promoted to the eighth grade, all the [White Fang Life Fire] had been transformed into [Blue Wing Life Fire].

This large amount of [Life Fire] is Jing Qian's most important resource for cultivation.

He summoned out his own [Revolving Emperor Seal] and threw it directly into the [Void Furnace].

Then, the [Life Toad Purifying Fire] instantly wrapped around it and began to refine it.

The vigorous vitality and magic power circulate between the two, continuously enhancing the power of the Emperor's Seal.

In the coming period of time, this [inspiration] of his will will be calcined by the [life fire] in the [life stove] to increase his [life] and accumulate supernatural powers.

With the help of the [Life Toad Cleansing Fire], within a year at most, he would be able to refine the remaining three sides of the Emperor's Seal to carry the new [Life Pattern].

Afterwards, he also sat cross-legged in the [virtual world] and began to knock the [yin bones] one by one, recasting the fate of the [little ghost] again and again.

In this world, the [Qiyue Island] fleet is sailing on the endless ocean, but no one knows that there is a unique passenger traveling with them.

Jing Qian officially started a crucial retreat for spiritual practice.

Every day, in addition to studying the various secret techniques in the [Taoist Book], he also spent the [Opportunity to Forge Life] to recast the [Little Ghost].

By the end of the first month of training, the fleet had covered a long distance.

His [Revolving Emperor's Seal] was refined and upgraded in the raging fire, and his [life] increased by one ounce and two cents.

He did not hesitate to imprint the fate of the [little ghost] on it, and the [fate] was also borne by it.

With the blessing of the [Revolving Emperor's Seal], the fate of [Little Ghost] immediately had a new breakthrough.

I saw the second little ghost incarnation successfully condensed and appeared in the [virtual world].

At this moment, the fate of [Little Ghost] has been refined to the semi-purple level.

The improvement of [Fate] itself has already caused the little ghost's power to undergo a qualitative change.

When it was condensed, it had reached the eighth grade and could take away 30% of Jing Qian's magic power and two [Fates].

The little ghost in front of him, who controls [Sumeru] and [Bi'an Weiyang], can be said to be a living loach that no one can catch.

Jing Qian waved his hand and released it out of the [virtual world] and into the [Sumeru] dimension.

The little ghost searched and then flew away into the distance. He flew for thousands of miles before stopping.

This was a key experiment for Jing Qian. The little ghost opened a void crack for Jing Qian from thousands of miles away, and then drilled out of the dimensional space.

As a result, the little ghost really appeared in the world thousands of miles away.

There is a space beacon planted by Jing Qian on its body. As long as Jing Qian wants, he can travel to the other side of reality at any time.

Jing Qian just felt like he had a new leg.

These legs can help him measure the world, explore unknown areas, and break through unknown traps. They are truly magical.

Then he dismissed the summons for the second imp and summoned it back beside him.

It was like he was retracting his leg after taking it forward, which was very convenient.

Jing Qian's [Ghost Exorcist] system was continuously improving. While its combat effectiveness hadn't yet been fully demonstrated, its functionality was evolving. He worked tirelessly, and finally, before reaching [Haizhou], he had pushed the [Little Ghost] to its [Purple Eyes] limit.

After recasting his [Fate] for nine hundred and ninety-nine times in a row, his teeth were almost broken by his [Yin Bones].

This was an extreme recasting he completed in the shortest time.

In order to welcome the opening of [Zhuling Cave Heaven], Jing Qian has tried his best.

Now that everything was ready, he started the fourth promotion of [Destiny] without hesitation.

He once again descended into the space of the life monument and stroked his fingers on the monument.

The purple fate of the "little ghost" was moved out by him and fell on the "Sumeru Avenue Monument".

Afterwards, [Knowledge of Destiny] successfully sacrificed a whole sixty years of life and shattered the fate of [Little Ghost] with one blow.

In an instant, an infinite silver-gray mist of time and space spread out before Jing Qian's eyes, enveloping his consciousness.

The life monument suddenly trembled, and the talismans on the monument spread like a spider web. In the silver-gray mist, a strange Taoist power surged out.

Jing Qian's soul was drawn into the vortex of time and space, and the surrounding stars collapsed into billions of fine threads. That was the law being materialized and reorganized.

“Crack!”

The shadow of [Little Ghost] exploded, and the fragments turned into thousands of pale hands that tore through the fog.

Scarlet vertical pupils appeared in the palm of each hand, and a broken bronze ghost door appeared where the pupils intertwined. Sticky blood mist seeped out of the crack of the door, and the Taotie pattern engraved on the door knocker suddenly turned its eyeballs.

"The Yellow Springs Road Leads the Way, Ten Thousand Ghosts Make Way!"

A strange sound burst out in Jing Qian's heart.

This voice turned into an imperial decree, bursting open the bronze door.

Jing Qian's vision was stained with endless blood, and he saw the phantoms of the eighteen levels of hell stacked up behind the door.

The mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire turned into an ink-colored scroll, and the wails of the tortured evil spirits condensed into physical runes. The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons waved their chains and whipped the evil spirits with karmic fire, without stopping for a moment.

Then, this hellish scene suddenly erupted and fell into Jing Qian's mind.

A strange [fate] was also born, instantly enveloping all the hellish scenes.

The blood-red ocean inside the bronze door suddenly solidified, and the eighteen levels of hell were like rice paper soaked in ink, smudged layer by layer, spreading out into a thousand-foot-long scroll in Jing Qian's soul.

The chains of the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon suddenly snapped, and the wailing runes swam towards the scroll like living creatures, condensing into a line of cinnabar seal script in the void:
[Hell Scroll: Scenery Migration]

[Rank: Destiny Only]

【The cause of all ghosts! 】

[The pen tip is still sharp, the karmic connection is shallow, and I have fallen into the netherworld, watching from the wall; once the scroll is unrolled, beyond life and death, I realize that the ghost face is the common people.]

This is the most powerful [Destiny] that controls all ghosts and creates its own hellish ghost kingdom. It is also the strongest foundation for Jing Qian's [Ghost Exorcism] lineage to continue to improve!
After completing the promotion of [Destiny], Jing Qian instantly fell into a deep retreat, and the new [Destiny] began to be integrated into his practice system.

After a long time of exploration, the magical power of [Hell Scroll] penetrated into Jing Qian's heart.

This [destiny] is sublimated from the fate of the [little ghost], but it is not just a simple summoning of ghosts.

This is an extremely unique spiritual treasure. After it is transformed, it becomes a strange scroll with no end in sight.

The scroll was unfolded, and two blurry figures were attached to it. They were the two ghost incarnations evolved from the fate of [Little Ghost].

Jing Qian carefully sensed the power of the [Hell Scroll], and then gently tapped the first ghost shadow with his right hand.

This blurry ghost figure was blessed by [Destiny] and began to change instantly.

Soon, the image of an evil ghost with a green face, fangs, rotten flesh, and blades on the spine was born.

This evil ghost could not distinguish between men and women and was extremely ugly, but it was holding a clean and fresh human skin in its hand.

Jing Qian looked carefully and found that the human skin looked exactly like him, as if it had been peeled off from his body.

As soon as he exerted his magic power, the evil ghost jumped out from the [Hell Scroll].

The evil ghost rolled on the ground and covered himself with the human skin in his hand.

Then, a person who looked exactly like Jing Qianchang appeared in front of him.

Jing Qian looked it up and down and observed it carefully, and found that the figure transformed by the evil ghost was so lifelike that it was difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.

This is the first ghost contained in his [Hell Scroll]:
【Painted Skin Ghost】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Painted Skin (Blue)】

This [Painted Skin Ghost] has the same eighth-grade cultivation level as Jing Qian, and possesses thirty percent of his magic power, which is not surprising. However, he was born with a [Painted Skin] fate, which is the basis of his magical powers, and he can peel off skin and transform into a human form.

As the incarnation of a ghost, it can also borrow two [Fate] from Jing Qian and accommodate the [Sumeru] beacon.

Jing Qian finally took the first step in his own practice of [Exorcism]!
The [Painted Skin Ghost] in front of him was a real individual that existed independently. Compared to it, the illusory incarnation of the previous [Little Ghost]'s fate was undoubtedly several levels weaker.

Jing Qian then mobilized his magic power to activate the second ghost.

Above the [Hell Scroll], the ghost figure began to roll wildly, then disappeared and gradually turned into a cloud of mist.

When it floated down from the scroll, it enveloped Jing Qian like a layer of gauze:
【Fog Ghost】

[Rank: Eighth Grade]

【Fate: Mist (Blue)】

The divine power of [Hell Scroll] is highlighted, and two magical giant ghosts are born, each with its own magical effect.

As a powerful sect for controlling souls and exorcising ghosts, [Yanfu Dao] naturally has many secret techniques and methods for utilizing these ghosts.

In addition to driving the enemy, these two big ghosts can also directly bring great blessings to Jing Qian's combat power!
He used the [Ghost Possession Technique] that he had already comprehended thoroughly against the [Painted Skin Ghost] and the [Mist Ghost].

In an instant, two big ghosts turned into two streams of black smoke and pounced on his right arm.

Jing Qian looked down and saw two strange patterns on his right arm, which contained a unique magic charm, as if they were two tattoos.

The effects of the secret technique also became apparent immediately.

[The Art of Ghost Possession] can transform evil spirits into blessing spells to enhance the cultivator's magical powers.

At this moment, every time a big ghost came into his body, it could increase Jing Qian's magic power by 10%. The two ghosts together increased his magic power by a full 20%.

In addition, the innate [fate] of the two big ghosts can also be called upon by Jing Qian at will, just like his own awakening.

Among them, the [Painted Skin] fate can help Jing Qian change his appearance and disguise himself, while the [Hidden in the Mist] fate can help Jing Qian conceal his presence and block the enemy's prying eyes.

The two major [fates] have nothing to do with combat, but they have extremely strong functionality and a wide range of application scenarios!
The blessing brought by this [Ghost Possession Technique] means a huge improvement for Jing Qian at this time.

And this is not the limit of [Hell Scroll]!

This [Destiny] for exorcising ghosts has an endless space for accommodating. If more big ghosts are evolved, it will bring unimaginable gains to Jing Qian's combat power.

Compared with other cultivators of [Yambu Dao], Jing Qian possesses the killing sword art of [Chun Yang Xu] and is inherently powerful.

If he could be enhanced by the [Exorcist] system, he would be invincible among his peers!

After working hard for nearly two months, Jing Qian finally completed the cultivation of the fourth [Destiny].

He was quite satisfied with the power of the [Hell Scroll].

He took off the two big ghosts on his body, gave the [Fog Ghost] a [Sumeru] sign, and then disappeared in a flash into the [Void Realm].

When he appeared again, he had returned to the first floor of the pagoda government office on Hunzhou Island.

The original ghost incarnation has disappeared. Here, a [Sumeru] beacon is about to dissipate, and this teleportation point is almost destroyed.

Jing Qian hurriedly summoned the [Painted Skin Ghost] and put up the new [Sumeru] sign.

The incarnation of Xuezheng transformed by [Painted Skin Ghost] is so lifelike that it is difficult to tell the real from the fake.

Jing Qian looked at his new ghost with great satisfaction. He placed it here to ensure the continuation of the teleportation point, and then disappeared from the spot again in a flash.

This back and forth almost consumed half of his magic power.

Afterwards, Jing Qian controlled the [Fog Ghost], hid his body, and hid in the darkness of the [Qiming Island] fleet. He himself escaped with the light and flew away to another place.

At this time, it was less than a month away from the opening of [Zhuling Cave Heaven].

His fourth [Destiny] was completed, and there was no need for him to continue his retreat.

Moreover, there is a teleportation point on [Hunzhou Island] and the fleet. No matter where he is, he can reach it as long as he uses his magic power.

He no longer has to be trapped in the fleet!

It is just right to use the last period of time to complete a new practice plan.

He flashed out from the [virtual world] and flew away at high speed towards the southwest from the location of the fleet.

[The Other Shore Is Not Yet Endless] ran at full speed, easily breaking the speed of sound. In half a day, it traveled a distance of 100,000 miles.

Before him appeared a sea area that was treacherous and far beyond his imagination.

The sea water was not the usual indigo blue, but billions of distorted human faces, glowing with a terrifying green light, and each face was screaming silently.

When the waves surge, these faces are distorted and stretched, and then they re-condense into shape in the instant they hit the shore.

A crack was torn across the sky, and hundreds of bronze chains hung from the crack, with half-rotten whale carcasses tied to the ends of the chains.

A faint blue phosphorescent fire flew out from the empty eye sockets of the whale corpse. When the fire illuminated the sea surface, it reflected the densely packed masts of sunken ships.

And what were hanging on those masts were not sails, but countless dried human skins.

For thousands of years, this [Sea of ​​​​Ghosts] has always stood above the vast ocean, and is one of the ten secret places in the [Yingfutu Realm].

There are endless evil spirits living in it, devouring all living beings who accidentally enter it.

At the critical moment when [Zhuoling Cave Heaven] was about to open, Jing Qian came here from afar with one and only one purpose.

Catch ghosts!
