Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 23 Leaving.

Taoist Qu's face remained calm, his expression unchanged. He simply said, "Okay, Master will now teach you the formula for the [Spiritual Advent Technique]..."

As he spoke, he casually summoned a green-faced ghost servant that looked like an old man, and began to explain the key points in detail while demonstrating.

Zheng Que stood by, watching intently with bated breath.

To practice [Spirit Descent Technique], one must first have a foundation in [Ghost Controlling Technique].

The strength of [Spirit Descent Technique] depends on the strength of the ghost servant. The higher the ghost servant's cultivation, the stronger the defense, strength and speed will be after the spell is cast.

His current cultivation level is the first level of Qi training, while the ghost servant Qingli's cultivation level has reached the fourth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. After using [Spirit Summoning Technique], his improvement in all aspects far exceeds the effects of the other two techniques!
The only risk is that if the ghost servant attacks you while you're casting the spell, there's almost no chance of survival...

Of course, this shortcoming is the same as if it didn't exist for him.

The dilapidated temple was filled with gloomy energy, and the already dim room seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze.

Taoist Qu flicked his sleeves and performed the last spell.

Instantly, his exposed skin was covered in dark blue lines. The dense lines, like the roots of an old tree, penetrated deeply into his body. On Qu Daoren's neck, a strange head appeared. This head had a green complexion and resembled an old man. It was the green-faced ghost servant that had been summoned earlier.

At this moment, the green-faced ghost servant's face was ferocious and almost distorted. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp canine teeth, as if it wanted to struggle desperately to break free from Qu Dao Ren's body. However, no matter how hard it tried, it was always suppressed by a powerful force, and could only roar unwillingly.

roar roar...

The roar of ghosts echoed in the dilapidated temple. At a glance, Taoist Qu looked more like a ghost than a ghost!

Zheng Que took a deep breath. Although he knew that his master had a high level of cultivation, being stared at by that malicious green-faced head still made him feel frightened and a chill ran down his spine.

At this time, Taoist Qu said calmly: "This is the [Spiritual Advent Technique]."

As he spoke, he cast another spell, and the originally compacted mud immediately began to sprout up with mounds of various sizes. The next moment, the mounds split open, and a tide of corpse puppets crawled out.

Just as these corpse puppets stood up, the extra green-faced head of Qu Dao Ren suddenly opened its mouth and let out a sharp roar.

The roar was extremely penetrating, like a sharp knife, piercing into the mind.

Zheng Que was suddenly shocked and dizzy. He quickly stretched out his hands and covered his ears tightly.

bang bang bang...

A series of muffled sounds were heard, and the heads of the surrounding corpses were shattered one after another, exploding like red and white fireworks, splattering all over the ground.

The strong smell of blood filled the room in the blink of an eye, and headless corpses fell limply into a pool of blood.

Soon, the roaring stopped. Before Zheng Que could come to his senses, he heard Taoist Qu's voice ringing in his ears: "This technique can not only save your life, but also integrate offense and defense. However, if you practice this technique, your future life or death depends on your own luck."

Hearing this, Zheng Que suddenly felt that his dizzy head seemed to be much clearer. He raised his head and looked at the lifeless remains of corpses on the ground. He immediately understood that his master had just demonstrated the power of the [Spirit Descent Technique], but his cultivation was too low and he was almost knocked unconscious by the aftermath!
After realizing what was happening, Zheng Que immediately bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Taoist Qu nodded slightly and cast a spell to cancel the [Spiritual Descent Technique].

The dense blue-black lines on his exposed skin quickly disappeared like snow in the sun. At the same time, the green-faced head growing on the side of his neck immediately rolled down and turned into a green-faced ghost servant in mid-air. After appearing briefly, it disappeared again.

Immediately afterwards, Taoist Qu stood up and walked out of the temple. Gazing at this scene, Zheng Que suddenly understood that the forty-nine hours had passed, and his master was about to leave town.

So he hurriedly caught up with Taoist Qu and said respectfully, "Master, do not look down on me for my humbleness and have taught me the Dao. I have nothing of my own and cannot repay you. I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"

As Taoist Qu continued to walk out, he shook his head slightly and said calmly, "If you can survive, we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

Hearing this, Zheng Que's heart moved slightly, knowing that his master would not take him away from this town, so he immediately said: "Master, I don't have a suitable weapon now, please give me some advice!"

Taoist Qu continued walking and replied calmly, "Your current cultivation level is only at the Qi training level. No weapon can be as useful as your ghost servant."

Zheng Cheng immediately added, "My current cultivation speed is too slow. I beg Master to grant me some pills that can improve my cultivation."

Taoist Qu sneered, "Your cultivation speed is already very fast."

"Relying on external things to improve your cultivation will only affect the stability of your foundation."

Seeing that his master was unwilling to give him anything, Zheng Que couldn't help but frown. He wanted to say something else, but Taoist Qu walked out of the dilapidated temple with his sleeves fluttering.

He immediately followed the dilapidated temple out, only to see an empty place with nothing in sight. It was as if Taoist Qu had disappeared out of thin air, and his whereabouts were unknown.

"Master!"

"Master!!"

Zheng Que shouted hurriedly and chased forward.

beep, beep...

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed on the bluestone slabs, and the houses on both sides quickly retreated. Zheng Que chased all the way to the town entrance, where stood a meter-high stone tablet with the three characters "Changfu Town" inscribed on it. The handwriting was simple and vicissitudes of life, and had been broken and tattered over the years. The missing characters were made up of tiny talismans, and at this moment, the incomplete strokes were gleaming in the skylight.

The five willow trees that were as tall as a man's arm were not far away had all died long ago. The five-colored silk ribbons tied to the treetops had faded in color. When they fluttered in the wind, the patterns painted with cinnabar on the silk ribbons became blurred and only scattered talismans could be barely made out.

Zheng Que finally stopped beside the stone tablet and looked at the wilderness ahead with a frown.

The wilderness is desolate, the wind is howling, and there is silence between heaven and earth.

The Master is gone...

On this last day, I only learned one technique...

After a while, he gradually calmed down, turned around and returned to the ruined temple.

The dilapidated temple remained the same as before, with dead trees, weeds, and in the half-collapsed temple, the curtains of the shrine hung low, the altar was empty, but the figure in the gray robe was no longer on the cushion, and the coffin had disappeared in the shadows behind the door.

Zheng Que walked in, looked around, and didn't find anything left by his master, so he walked to the cushion and sat down cross-legged.

Then, he suddenly said, "Qingli, I'm going to practice a life-saving technique now, and I need your cooperation."
