Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Hearing what the old ghost said, Lu Yang rolled his eyes. This old monster had lived for who knows how long, yet he was still so naive.

You're dreaming, and you're still letting him out.

"Swallow him."

Lu Yang directly activated the Thousand Soul Banner, controlling dozens of souls to begin devouring the old ghost.

Normally, if dozens of ghosts, even those at the early stage of Qi Refining or weaker, were to attack an old ghost at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, it would be like offering themselves up as food.

But these dozens of ghosts now have the advantage of being on home turf.

Lu Yang controlled the Thousand Soul Banner and pressed it down directly on the old ghost. The old ghost, who had already unleashed the ghost power of the mid-stage Qi Refining realm, had his aura rapidly decline and was directly knocked down to the early stage of Qi Refining.

Dozens of spirits rushed towards the old ghost, making him somewhat terrified. This little ghost was extremely vicious; he actually attacked him without asking any questions.

"Wait, don't you want to know what's in that cave? I can help you, otherwise you'll die in the cave too."

Lu Yang ignored Lao Gui's words; could one believe a ghost's words?

Lu Yang remained silent, only increasing his spiritual energy output. Seeing this, the old ghost became even more anxious. He had cultivated for a hundred years, attempting to build a reverse blood foundation. Even if he failed, he would still leave behind a wisp of demonic soul.

The formation was activated, which was thought to be a sign of renewed hope, but it turned out to be a dead end.

Damn brat, if I had come a few decades earlier, things would definitely not be like this now. You know, in my prime, I was at the peak of Qi Refining and almost succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Even if one fails to establish a foundation, the demonic soul left behind will still possess the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining stage.

His cultivation level has fallen to this point only due to the ravages of time. Given some time, he will surely be able to recover to the peak of Qi Refining.

A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, and a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken. Now, to be humiliated by shameless brats is an utter disgrace.

Most importantly, this kid is incredibly stubborn and impervious to persuasion; he won't even give you a chance to bewitch him.

Suffocated!

"Little brat, don't disbelieve me. Without me, you would have no chance of obtaining the treasures in the cave."

"It's too dangerous, I won't go in."

"you!"

Unmoved by reason, the old ghost almost choked to death by Lu Yang's words. This time, the dozens of ghosts were not holding back and were desperately tearing at his soul.

Judging from the current situation, Lao Gui knew that he really would have to die here.

"Wait, there's a Yin Soul Wood in the cave, a second-tier spiritual item called Yin Soul Wood! Let me go, and I'll take you to find it."

Yin Soul Wood!

Lu Yang's eyes lit up. Yin Soul Wood, what a treasure! It was mentioned in the Dao Academy that Yin Soul Wood is an excellent treasure for nourishing the soul.

Cultivation, seemingly a practice of refining Qi, is actually the cultivation of the three treasures: essence, Qi, and spirit.

However, while it is easy to cultivate vital energy, it is difficult to nourish the soul. Therefore, the treasures for nourishing the soul in the cultivation world are extremely rare. Once they appear, even if they are only at the first level, they will fetch an astronomical price.

After all, whether it's breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage or attempting to reach the Core Formation stage, the divine soul is the key.

Many cultivators fail to break through their cultivation levels without knowing why they failed.

However, the Lu family has a 500-year heritage and is backed by the Qingyun Sect, so their lineage is naturally well-ordered. They know the importance of the divine soul. If one can nurture the divine soul to perfection before establishing the foundation, one can increase the chance of establishing the foundation by 30%.

However, it's easier said than done. Soul-nourishing treasures are extremely rare. Even the direct descendants of major sects might have some, but even the Lu family probably doesn't possess many.

Lu Yang never expected that he would be so lucky. He went out to search for treasure and suddenly a second-tier Soul Nourishing Spirit Wood, Yin Soul Wood, fell from the sky.

With this tree, Lu Yang's future breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage will be no problem at all.

Looking at the old ghost again, Lu Yang found him much more pleasing to the eye. He then increased the speed of refining. This old ghost was filthy; he couldn't rest easy until the old ghost was dead.

"You're still practicing, kid? I'll fight you to the death!"

Seeing that Lu Yang had no intention of keeping him, the old ghost was furious and unleashed his ghostly power again. However, before he could fully unleash it, Lu Yang directly controlled the Thousand Soul Banner to suppress him.

"what!"

In that brief moment, the old ghost was caught off guard and Lin Chuang bit off a piece of his soul. His already weakened soul became even thinner in an instant.

Seeing this, Lu Yang snorted, "A dying struggle."

The dozen or so ghosts exploded, and the pure Yin energy flowed into Lin Chuang's body, gathering the soul that had bitten off the old ghost, causing Lin Chuang's aura to surge instantly, almost reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

"You vicious brat, you'll die a horrible death."

As the tide receded, the old ghost was no match for Lin Chuang. Before long, he was completely devoured. On the verge of destruction, the old ghost could only leave behind a sinister look and a furious, impotent statement before passing away in resentment.

call!

Seeing the old ghost disappear, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't rest easy knowing that the old man was still alive.

boom!

After devouring the old ghost within the Thousand Soul Banner, Lin Chuang's aura surged even more, showing the potential to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and directly controlled the remaining souls in the Thousand Soul Banner to explode, leaving only pure Yin energy, which poured towards Lin Chuang.

Lin Chuang, who had initially faced some obstacles in his breakthrough, successfully broke through with the help of this pure Yin energy.

Lu Yang was overjoyed to see this. Although the number of ghosts in the Thousand Soul Banner had dropped from dozens to one after this ordeal, this one was still worth more than the previous hundred.

The quality of the ghosts in the Thousand Soul Banner depends not only on the quantity but also on the quality.

"Owner!"

Lin Chuang, who had just broken through, looked fierce, but when Lu Yang suppressed him with the Thousand Soul Banner, he knew what was good for him and called out "Master".

Lu Yang nodded. "Did you get any information?"

This is another reason why Lu Yang didn't try to extract information but instead ruthlessly killed the old ghost. With the convenience of the Thousand Soul Banner, Lu Yang only needed to let the ghosts in the banner devour him to obtain some scattered fragments of his memories.

Now that Lin Chuang has broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and obtained memory fragments, he should have even more.

"Master, this cave dwelling belongs to a Qi Refining Peak cultivator. He set up the Four Spirits Profound Yin Array with the aim of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

However, when that cultivator broke through, he was already a hundred years old, and the hope of breaking through was slim. So he took an unorthodox approach and actually tried the demonic blood foundation method.

Unfortunately, even with this demonic foundation-building method, he failed to achieve his goal and broke through.

Although he failed to break through, his soul was corrupted by demons, and he actually created this thing that was neither demonic nor ghostly.

This cave is protected by the Four Spirits Profound Yin Formation, which prevents the old ghost from leaving, thus trapping him here.

As time passed, his demonic power diminished further, leaving him only at the early stage of Qi Refining. As for his explosive power technique, it was merely a secret method for activating demonic energy.

That's it!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang immediately felt relieved. "So, there shouldn't be any other dangers inside the cave, right?"

"Yes, Master."

Lu Yang smiled knowingly, put away the Thousand Soul Banner, and entered the cave again. That damned old ghost dared to scare him.

Stepping into the cave, Lu Yang walked through the long corridor to a spacious area.

What came into view was a pool of blood, and in the center of the pool, a skeleton sat cross-legged, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

Lu Yang was not surprised by this. The Blood Foundation Method was just like that. It involved taking the blood of living beings to build one's own Blood Foundation. Although it was against the natural order, there were many demonic cultivators who used this method to build their foundation.

Sure enough, there were countless withered bones beside the blood pool, clearly captured by this cultivator to feed on in order to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
