Chapter 242 Refining the Protector and Constructing the True Lord Island
The idea of ​​combining true evil with evil spirits lingered in Yu Que's mind.

After a long while, he came to his senses and let out a mocking laugh:

"If I can obtain a True Fiend, I can lay a foundation for longevity. I'll consider myself incredibly lucky."

How could you think so much, and even dare to dream of combining true evil spirits?

He also gave himself a warning.

Whether according to the master's words or Gong Dongxue's description, the method of combining evil spirits requires a ruler, minister, assistant, and envoy, one high and one low.

Even if he were to be so fortunate as to obtain multiple types of true evil energy, the secret technique of combining evil energy might not be effective. After all, true evil energy is not comparable to ordinary evil energy.

Yu Que reflected on the matter for a while, then sat cross-legged in the room, clearing his mind and adjusting his thoughts.

After clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts, he opened his eyes again, his gaze slightly brightening as he looked at the five-pouch bag in his hand.

With a quick hand gesture, several clusters of ghostly light flew out of the pouch and landed in front of him.

“Mercy, mercy!”

“Master Yu, if you are willing to let my Yin Spirit return to the palace, I will not reveal a single thing about what happened today.”

These eerie lights were the Yin spirits of the Huangshan Dao Palace disciples who had died tragically under his sword energy.

Among them, Li Mingxing's evil spirit was particularly vocal, restless and eager to break free from Yu Que's restraints and find another opportunity to fly away.

But since Yu Que dared to call out those people, how could he give them that chance?

As for the pleas for mercy, promises, and offerings of treasures from these fellow Yin spirits, Yu Que treated them as nothing more than the buzzing of mosquitoes, paying no attention to a single word.

He counted and found that only seven Yin Spirits had survived from his own sword energy and crow fire. Apart from Li Mingxing's Yin Spirit, the Yin Spirits of the other Dao Palace disciples had all been damaged to varying degrees.

As for those that he didn't manage to acquire, they were naturally annihilated during the battle.

"Seven units, plus some of our existing stock, should be enough."

Yu Que rubbed his chin, pondering in his heart.

He then stood up, apologetic smile on his face, and bowed to the seven fellow Yin spirits before him:
"My fellow disciples, it was I who caused your deaths. I am truly ashamed."

Among the seven groups of Yin spirits, someone immediately cried out:

"It's alright, it's alright, just let us go."

"Stop talking nonsense and let your grandfather go back to the palace. Don't think you can really keep this a secret."

"You can hide it for a while, but can you hide it forever? Good brother, please let us go."

The cabin was quite noisy amidst the commotion.

Fortunately, Yu Que had also set up an array in the room to isolate the inside from the outside; otherwise, the commotion he made would have been heard by Gong Dongxue, who was standing nearby.

Upon hearing this, Yu Que's expression became even more apologetic, and he said in a low voice:
"Fellow disciples, I happen to have a favor to ask of you. If you can get this done, I will definitely take you back to the palace."

These words excited the seven groups of Yin spirits, who shouted repeatedly:

"Tell me quickly, what is it?"

"Don't even mention one, even ten, as long as you're willing to release us, we're all willing to help."

The next moment, Yu Que first put Li Mingxing's evil spirit into his pocket, leaving everyone puzzled. Then he took out a small black jade gourd from his sleeve.

"This matter is simple. I only wish to borrow your souls and household gods for a short time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he held the gourd and pointed it at the six wisps of spirits in front of him.

Under the pressure of the magic, the six souls all rushed into the small black gourd.

At first, the disciples of the Six Dao Palaces were confused and made a commotion, not knowing how Yu Que intended to use them. After staying in the small black gourd for a while, they suddenly let out terrified screams.

The little black gourd swayed in Yu Que's hand.

Yu Que was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see his fellow disciples suffer so much. He immediately sent a telepathic message to the person inside the gourd:

"The reason I am giving this special instruction is that I hope you will let go of your obsessions, not resist stubbornly, and that it is best to be reborn as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I'll suffer the pain and lose my soul. Otherwise, I would have truly committed a terrible sin today."

Upon hearing this, the Daoist disciples inside the gourd all launched into a tirade of extremely offensive curses.

However, since Yu Que had already warned him, he was too lazy to say another word and quietly waited for the other person's soul to be scattered.

After the immortal's body dies, their spirit remains. Unless they receive nourishment from incense offerings, the likelihood of them becoming ghosts is extremely high. In particular, those who harbor resentment and bitterness are almost destined to become ghosts.

Needless to say, the Dao Palace disciples who died at Yu Que's hands were all filled with resentment.

In such cases, Taoist temples often choose to suppress the souls of their disciples on one ground, locking away their resentment and letting them slowly dissipate, rather than burning them as ghosts.

In this way, the souls of the disciples will not die too tragically, and will become part of the Dao Palace's foundation, transforming into spiritual energy, incense, and other forms.

However, Yu Que didn't have the time to do that, nor could he possibly chant scriptures to help these enemies. As for directly killing their spirits, that would be too wasteful.

Therefore, the best method is naturally to immediately melt them down in the small black gourd and use them as soul liquid.

In this way, they too will vanish into thin air, no longer able to be tracked down, questioned, or testified against, and can even make some contributions to Yuque.

A few hours later.

Yu Que's fellow disciples had all been scattered and turned into black and red soul liquid, a considerable amount, filling a whole gourd.

He weighed the small black gourd in his hand, and his face showed considerable satisfaction: "As expected of a disciple of the Dao Palace, the quality of his Yin spirit and the various household gods under his command are all of the highest quality."

"I only added ten extra vengeful spirits, and I got this much weight."

After the soul liquid is brewed, it can be stored in the small black gourd for a long time, but it is neither convenient to carry nor convenient to save the gourd for future use.

He immediately took out all the soul liquid and summoned Li Mingxing's soul from the pouch.

"You brat, you brat, you can't kill me!"

Li Mingxing's soul leaped out and immediately shouted repeatedly, naively exclaiming, "You just said you would let us return to the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que couldn't help but smile.

He nodded and said, "That's right, I have said that before. Since that's the case, then please lend me your Yin Spirit, Fellow Daoist Li."

The words fell.

Before the other party could react, Yu Que sent the soul liquid in his hand to the left and right sides of Li Mingxing's soul.

Upon sensing the soul liquid, Li Mingxing's Yin spirit immediately twisted, his face revealing an uncontrollable look of greed. He roared incredulously, barely containing his excitement, "What kind of spiritual medicine is this? What are you going to do with it?!"

After Yu Que gave away the soul liquid, he sat down cross-legged peacefully with his eyelids slightly closed.

He said casually, "Nothing much, just asking Fellow Daoist Li to pay me a commission as a protector of mine."

Ding!
The six Ding and six Jia divine generals who had been protecting the surroundings immediately exhaled two breaths of divine energy, one yin and one yang, from their mouths.

The two energies entered Li Mingxing's soul and formed a seed of a divine general.

All Li Mingxing needs to do is refine this divine general seed, or rather, for it to be refined by this divine general seed, then it will become the third guardian divine general under Yu Que's command.

Li Mingxing noticed the abnormality in the soul and immediately understood that Yu Que was going to treat its Yin spirit as a ghost and refine it on the spot.

"No, stop! Stop!"

Yu Que kept his eyes slightly closed and simply said:

"Fellow Daoist, please don't make trouble. Once you've finished refining it, I will take you all back to the palace one day."

Li Mingxing sensed Yu Que's intentions. It continuously spewed out a large amount of baleful energy and suppressed its greed, rejecting the soul liquid flying from all around.

But it only endured a few breaths before its spirit twisted, and one after another, grotesque and blurry ghost faces suddenly emerged from its spirit body, desperately trying to devour the surrounding soul fluid.

Li Mingxing was shocked and shouted repeatedly, "How dare you? Get back here!"

Under the temptation of the soul liquid, the household gods within Li Mingxing's Yin spirit could not resist and emerged one after another to refine the surrounding soul liquid.

After refining the soul liquid, the household gods became even more restless, no longer caring about their master's orders.

The moment these household gods appeared, Yu Que's eyelids twitched slightly.

Li Mingxing is a master of evil spirits, capable of binding evil spirits within him. In other words, the household gods emerging from the other party's body are all sixth-rank evil spirits!

He secretly hoped that he might be able to forge multiple new guardian deities in one go today.

Ahhhhh!
Faced with the betrayal of the household gods, Li Mingxing had no choice but to compete with them for the surrounding soul liquid. He feared that if the household gods gained the soul liquid and grew stronger, they would simply divide it up among their masters.

And so, several ghostly figures entangled in front of Yu Que, their flickering movements making it impossible for Yu Que to distinguish which were human and which were ghosts.

After the soul liquid was completely consumed by them, Yu Que opened his eyes again and looked intently at the ghostly figures in front of him.

With a whoosh, the crowfire burst forth, sweeping across an area of ​​ten feet, like a cage, imprisoning the ghostly figures within.

Yu Que recited incantations in the gap, and even took out the White Ridge Sword to act as a magic sword. He held the sword and channeled his energy in the cabin, performing a grand ritual.

"The essence of Jiazi (甲子) is Yang, which transforms into the Three Pure Ones. The essence of Dingmao (丁卯) is Yin, which shines with a hidden light amidst the rosy clouds."

"Six Ding and six Jia, heaven and earth unite in harmony. Yin and Yang are in accord, divine generals will arrive swiftly!"

He is currently using the Six Ding Six Jia Secret Refinement Method given to him by the Peak Master of Refinement to nurture new Six Ding Six Jia Divine Generals.

Even with two deities acting as "parents," the process is still far from simple.

Even with the nourishment of soul liquid within and the tempering of crow fire without, Yu Que still spent three days and three nights refining it in one go, without leaving the house or eating a single grain of rice during that time, and he still hadn't finished.

It wasn't until the Rakshasa Whale ship had sailed away from its last stop that Yu Que, looking exhausted, slowly came to his senses in his cabin and let out a long sigh.

Before him, the previously restless ghostly figures had transformed into a golden light, with a solemn form and clad in armor.

This is the brand-new guardian deity he has refined. Its nature is yang, belonging to the category of jade men, and it is masculine and powerful.

Despite his deep weariness, Yu Que was in a good mood as he examined the object.

Although it was his first time refining the Six Ding Six Jia, the results were unexpectedly good. The guardian deities he refined were no less powerful than those refined by the Peak Master of Refinement.

This item is currently also at the sixth rank, and it still has potential. As the remaining quality improves, they can continue to rise and become fifth-rank Refining Qi level divine generals.

Of course, the reason why this is possible is not primarily due to Yu Que's skills and conditions, but mainly because of the Six Ding Six Jia Divine General Secret Refining Method of the Liandu Peak lineage.

Without a pair of divine generals to act as his "parents," he could not have succeeded in his cultivation.

Yu Que stretched out his hand and held the divine general in his hand, as if he were holding a golden statue.

He used his divine sense to examine the object thoroughly, both inside and out, and then exclaimed in praise:
"One begets two, two begets three. This item bestowed upon me by my master is truly extraordinary!"

After playing with them for a while longer, Yu Que placed the new divine generals beside him and waved his hand, causing them to disappear into his ancestral temple.

He himself strolled around the cabin, his face beaming with joy.

This training of soldiers can be described as a great success, except that the quantity was not perfect, as only one new divine general was trained.

However, this was not Yu Que's mistake.

During the process of forging soldiers, Yu Que had several opportunities to forge another divine general, but in order to be on the safe side, especially considering the stability of the divine general, he gave up the idea of ​​using household gods as the main body of the divine general.

It should be understood that household gods are different from ordinary living ghosts. They have already been refined and have consumed a large amount of soul fluid, so there is a risk of them going astray and becoming evil, and they cannot be refined again.

Yu Que used only Li Mingxing's Yin Spirit as the main element, with the rest as auxiliary materials, and created a new guardian deity.

He has achieved great success now, and as he reflects on this, although he feels a little regretful, he still feels that he did not make the wrong decision.

"Moreover, with this experience, I will be even more proficient in refining the guardian deities next time and the time after that."

Yu Que looked confident and didn't think he was really lacking a divine general.

He then raised his gaze and looked intently in the direction the Rakshasa whale ship was sailing.

Once he arrives overseas, there will surely be even more evil spirits and demons waiting to serve as his guardian deities!
Next.

Yu Que composed himself and didn't rush out for some fresh air just because the divine general was finished.

He chose to remain secluded in his cabin, meditating and regulating his breathing.

Yu Que planned to wait until the whale ship reached the destination of the Huangshan Dao Palace disciples before going out for some fresh air and disembarking with Gong Dongxue.

Time flew by, and several days passed quickly.

The enormous whale ship slowed down and once again descended through the gale-force winds, slowly pressing down towards the ground.

After emerging from the clouds, below the whale ship lay a vast, dark blue sea, with rolling waves stretching to the horizon.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, there is only one island shaped like a palm, firmly anchored in the waves of the sea.

This island is the gathering place and training ground for the imperial ships going out to sea, as well as the place for the disciples of the Dao Palace to go on missions. It is called the Imperial Creation True Lord Island.
