Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Chapter 44 Revisiting Jiayuan City

The sky was clear and the air was fresh.

A small boat cut through the high winds and headed straight south.

On the Divine Wind Boat, Fang Qing rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought:

"Judging by the time, there are only about a year and a half left before the demonic forces invade the Cheqi Kingdom."

"Now that I've become Linghu Laoguai's disciple, I should at least offer a word of warning, especially to that traitor from Spirit Beast Mountain..."

"However, to avoid making unsubstantiated claims, it would be best to capture that Spirit Control Sect cultivator who possessed Qu Hun..."

……

More than ten days later, in Jiayuan City.

Fang Qing stood high in the sky, his divine sense surging, instantly covering the entire Jiayuan City.

After mastering the first level of the Great Evolution Technique, his divine sense was already sufficient to cover an area of seven or eight miles in radius.

In the bustling center of Jiayuan City, the Mo family still reigns supreme.

Familiar figures such as Mo Caihuan, Mo Fengwu, and Mo Yuzhu appeared one by one in his divine consciousness.

Nearly ten years have passed, and Mo Yuzhu has become even more radiant and beautiful, Mo Fengwu remains as serene as ever, and the mischievousness of Mo Caihuan can still be seen in her eyes.

The three beauties were all past the age of marriage, yet Fang Qing could tell that they were still unmarried.

After a moment of silence, Fang Qing shifted his attention to the "Sun Ergou" that Han Li had subdued back then.

In a flash, he disappeared into the sky.

……

Jiayuan City, a wealthy market town in the southern district.

In a large house with white walls and black tiles, Sun Ergou hurried towards his study with a fluctuating expression.

Since becoming the leader of the "Siping Gang" and moving the headquarters to this affluent street, Sun Ergou has rarely shown this anxious demeanor.

However, this cannot be blamed on Sun Ergou, since it concerns the Immortal Master.

Just now, a voice suddenly rang in his mind, telling him to meet in the study.

He recognized the voice immediately; it was the senior brother of the master he had recognized ten years ago.

Outside the study, Sun Ergou took a deep breath, trembling as he pushed open the door. The next moment, a familiar figure came into view.

The man's appearance was exactly the same as he remembered, except that he looked a little more mature than he had ten years ago.

Sun Ergou rubbed his blurry eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things, then suddenly jolted awake and knelt down in a panic:

"This humble one pays respects to the Immortal Master Fang!"

Sun Ergou looked much more prosperous than he had ten years ago, to the point that Fang Qing almost didn't recognize him.

Seeing that this person was relatively respectful and honest, he nodded slightly and asked directly:

"Where is the soul of the music that my junior brother Han left for you? Why can't I see him anywhere?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ergou inwardly groaned, and immediately forced himself to explain:

"Reporting to Immortal Master Fang, Lord Qu Hun suddenly ran away from Jiayuan City five years ago and has been wandering in the mountains outside the city ever since."

Fang Qing already knew about Qu Hun's misfortune, so there was no anger on his face. He directly asked for the specific location of the mountain forest:

Which mountain forest?

"It's the White Python Forest, about a hundred miles west of the city..."

Sun Ergou dared not delay and described Qu Hun's situation in detail. When he finished speaking and looked up, he found that Fang Qing had disappeared.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then, as if remembering something, he hesitated for a long time before suddenly gritting his teeth, hurriedly leaving the mansion, and rushing towards the city center.

Judging by the direction, it was the Mo residence...

……

After leaving Jiayuan City, Fang Qing headed west, and after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finally arrived above the White Python Forest that Sun Ergou had mentioned.

Looking down at the dark, dense forests and mountains, Fang Qing flipped his right hand, exploring the infinite possibilities of Xianxia novels, all within p>

As he channeled his spiritual energy into the bell, he made hand seals. Immediately, the Soul-Guiding Bell rang softly and sped off in a certain direction.

Fang Qing followed behind, flying for more than ten miles before the Soul-Guiding Bell finally stopped.

Seeing this, Fang Qing raised his hand and cast a sealing spell on the Soul-Guiding Bell to isolate its aura and put it away.

Then, his figure plummeted and disappeared into the dense forest.

Before long, Fang Qing appeared behind a pile of rocks. Not far in front of him, a strong figure sat cross-legged on a huge rock, practicing his internal energy with his eyes closed.

This robust figure is Qu Hun.

Compared to ten years ago, Qu Hun now has a cultivation level of five or six levels of Qi Refining.

"The process of possession in the mortal world is hardly friendly to cultivators."

After seeing through "Qu Hun's" cultivation level, Fang Qing secretly shook his head.

In the mortal cultivation world, the probability of a cultivator successfully seizing another's body is very low. Even if they succeed, they will suffer severe damage to their vital energy and may never be able to recover to their original level in this lifetime.

Just like the cultivator from the Yuling Sect in front of us, he is not only at the Core Formation stage, but he has also possessed Qu Hun for five whole years, yet he has only recovered to the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

This speed is terribly slow.

It's no wonder that even in Tianluo Kingdom, where the demonic path is dominant, there have been no reports of high-level demonic cultivators seizing the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Unless it's a technique like the Six Paths Supreme Saint of the Chaotic Star Sea, which specializes in refining corpses and seizing bodies as supernatural powers.

Fang Qing didn't take a Core Formation cultivator who was severely injured seriously at all.

At that moment, he opened his mouth and spat out the Purple Cloud Banner.

"Who?"

"A Core Formation cultivator?"

Before the words were even finished, the Purple Cloud Banner billowed in the wind, and the mist surged, turning the area within half a mile into a vast sea of fog in the blink of an eye.

The mist released by the Purple Cloud Banner has the effect of obscuring vision and spiritual senses.

Upon discovering that his divine sense was obstructed, Yu Lingzong, who had just formed his core, was immediately alarmed and used his natal magic weapon, the "Green Radiance Sword," to block it in front of him.

His reaction was quite quick, but Fang Qing knew his background very well. The moment the sea of mist formed, Fang Qing controlled the black dragon to wrap around it.

When Yu Lingzong reached the Core Formation stage, he felt a tightness all over his body. In shock, he hurriedly used the Green Radiance Sword to slash.

Unexpectedly, just as the Green Radiance Sword made a move, it was stopped by something and couldn't break free for a moment.

At this moment, if the Yu Ling Sect's Core Formation cultivator's divine sense were not blocked by the mist, he would see that what was binding the Green Radiance Sword was a pitch-black dragon claw.

This claw is the Black Dragon Claw that Fang Qing forged from the forepaw of a black dragon.

After Wulong seized the Green Radiance Sword, Fang Qingfei pounced forward and, with a flick of his wrist, sent a beam of spiritual light into Qu Hun's brow.

This spiritual light is a mid-level intermediate spell – Soul Sealing Technique!

Fang Qing specifically trained in the art of gathering.

As the cultivation level of the targets increases, the initial-level Divine Forbidden Talismans are no longer sufficient.

Although this Soul Sealing Technique is somewhat difficult to use on Core Formation cultivators, the Core Formation cultivator in front of us is already severely weakened!

As the spiritual light entered his body, "Qu Hun" stiffened and fell silent.

Fang Qing did not stop. He pointed a finger at Qu Hun's brow, and a golden-red light flickered at his fingertip. A powerful force of extraction surged from his fingertip.

This is the soul-extraction technique commonly used by demonic cultivators!

"Ah, stop! Fellow Daoist, please stop..."

A piercing and terrified scream emanated from Qu Hun's body.

Fang Qing smiled coldly, unmoved. In a short while, he extracted a green ball of light the size of an egg.
