Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 280 Soul Communication: Master, save me!
Although he could actually feel that after taking a mid-grade bone-strengthening pill, the strength of his bones had indeed increased.

However, this growth is too subtle and not very noticeable.

Perhaps it will take three to five medium-grade bone-strengthening pills consecutively before you can feel a noticeable effect.

That would be such a waste.

He certainly wouldn't be so extravagant.

It would be better to sell them and give them to cultivators with lower strength; the effect would be more obvious then.

As for himself, he can only wait until he refines a high-grade bone-strengthening pill before consuming it to improve his strength.

Fortunately, his alchemy skills are improving rapidly.

It's estimated that it won't be long before he'll be able to refine high-grade bone-strengthening pills, or even top-grade bone-strengthening pills.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry.

However, at this point, he stopped refining pills.

It was already too late.

The crescent moon hangs high.

After a long period of alchemy, he also felt somewhat tired.

So he went straight back to his room and began his daily nighttime wanderings and cultivation journeys into the underworld.

The next two days.

Chen Yushu maintained this pace throughout.

Besides his daily cultivation, he would go into the alchemy room every day to start refining pills.

At the beginning, he mostly refined Qi-building pills and bone-strengthening pills.

However, after he had mastered the recipe for the Vitality Pill and the Bone Strengthening Pill, he turned his attention to the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Compared to Vitality Pill and Bone Strengthening Pill.

The difficulty of refining this Gathering Spirit Pill has increased to another level.

Fortunately, Chen Yushu's foundation has improved significantly. After failing three or five times, he successfully mastered the basics of refining this elixir.

Over the course of two days, he also improved his mastery of the Gathering Spirit Pill to the level of proficiency.

in this way.

His experience in alchemy also reached (70/100).

A breakthrough is actually not far off.

"However, it will be difficult to improve from here on out."

After all, it's impossible to further improve these elixir formulas in a short period of time.

The only option is to refine other low-level pills.

Chen Yushu glanced at the attribute panel, while silently pondering in his mind.

Unfortunately, he did not have the corresponding prescription on him.

"Perhaps, only within the Zhenyin Division can one exchange for the corresponding pill formula."

In addition, the same applies to the True Fire Technique.

In ordinary places, even families like the Yan and Mo families, which are known for their ability to travel to the underworld, rarely survive.

The Zhenyin Division is different.

It contains a vast number of cultivation traditions.

Let alone the lineage of alchemists, even ancient pill formulas, as long as they are recorded, almost all have backups..."

Chen Yushu was also aware of the background of the Zhenyin Division.

In fact, it was something that the Wu family emperor plundered when the Wu Kingdom was founded.

Many of them are even the most treasured inheritances of top sects, and some are even offered up by cultivators from the Zhenyin Division.

After all, great achievements are hard to come by.

The simplest and most direct method is, of course, to offer up the cultivation techniques in exchange for the cultivation resources one needs.

Over time, naturally, the number of various cultivation techniques passed down within the Zhenyin Division will be extremely large.

"Apart from alchemy."

My biggest improvement has actually been in my cultivation.

"I'm not far from reaching the Dao Yuan Perfection stage."

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Yushu couldn't help but look at his attribute panel.

Name: Chen Yushu
Cultivation Level: Entering the Dao and Astral Projection (97/100)

"I'm only three points away from reaching the Dao Yuan Perfection."

Based on my past cultivation experience, I should only need one or two days to achieve Dao Yuan Perfection, truly break through, and reach the realm of Entering the Dao and Traveling at Night.

Looking at the attribute panel, Chen Yushu couldn't help but feel excited.

Entering the Dao and leaving the body.

The spirit is relatively weak and can only leave the body for short distances within the room.

The reason he was able to travel at night before was simply because his soul had 'emerged from the yang,' which meant that some of the yin energy had been shed, and he had naturally become stronger. This allowed him to travel at night like a Daoist cultivator who had entered the Daoist path.

but!

His nighttime wanderings were merely forced wanderings after his spirit had become powerful.

They are naturally different from true Night Wanderer cultivators.

It is far inferior.

"Because true Night Wanderer cultivators can fly on swords."

Using the divine soul to control the sword will greatly increase speed.

It's also much, much faster than me forcibly relying on my soul.

Moreover, the corresponding combat strength can also undergo earth-shattering changes.

Only those cultivators who can travel at night with their divine souls truly possess the ability to take a person's head from a thousand miles away.

Only then could he possess the unparalleled elegance of a sword immortal.

Chen Yushu never underestimated himself.

If he were to encounter a true Night Wanderer cultivator, he would not be afraid. With his strength and resources, even if he were no match for them, he could still hold his own.

But he knew even better that he was not a Night Wanderer at this moment, nor could he, like a Night Wanderer, ride a sword and truly travel through the void at night, traversing thousands of miles in a single night.

Unlike before, when he could only take short night trips, only managing to make a turnback between Qinghe Town and Jianghuan Town.

The distance between them is only about 100 miles.

Any further and it won't work.

Because his spiritual strength was insufficient to support him traveling such a long distance.

Once the soul is lost outside, the danger becomes extremely high.

After all, night is followed by day.

Even with the strength of his soul, it would be evaporated and turned to ashes during the day.

Spiritual practice involves great terror.

Over the long course of time, too many cultivators have encountered problems due to their cultivation practices.

When people went out at night, they were exposed to direct sunlight and died. There were more than just one or two who died from this.

There were even cultivators at the Day Travel Realm who, due to some oversight, fell into the turbulent flow of intense light and were burned to death; there were more than just one or two of them.

A cultivator at the Day Travel Realm has almost completely shed his Yin energy and is not afraid of the presence of sunlight.

Yet it was also scorched to death by the sun, which shows how terrifying the cultivation process can be.

On the contrary, ordinary people have physical protection, so even if they are exposed to strong light and working with their faces to the ground and their backs to the sky, they will not worry about any problems.

"It will only take a day or two, that'll be quick."

By then, I will be able to successfully complete the initial training of that sword control technique, the Flying Sword Technique.

Chen Yushu couldn't help but ponder silently.

Speaking of which, this Flying Sword Technique originated from the Trial Tower of the Huangshan Ancestor.

However, it was not something he received himself, but rather a gift from Mo Xuan, given as a token of gratitude and a way of seeking reliance on him.

Firstly, he didn't have a suitable flying sword at the time, and secondly, although the Flying Sword Technique doesn't restrict cultivation level, it is indeed a method of controlling the sword with one's soul.

Therefore, he kept it shelved and did not practice it.

At this moment, as his cultivation was about to break through and advance to the realm of entering the Dao Night Wandering, he was finally ready to begin formally cultivating this Flying Sword Technique.

"Ok?"

However, just as he was preparing to begin his routine cultivation, hoping to perfect his Dao Yuan cultivation as soon as possible and break through to the Dao Night Wandering Realm, he suddenly felt a vibration in his mind.

"Master, come save me!"

A message from the soul! It's Zhu Jiuzhi!
Almost instantly, Chen Yushu understood.

This is soul communication, an ability that only his contracted spirits and ghosts can perform. Because the art of communicating with the underworld not only connects the yin and yang realms and contracts with ghosts and spirits, but also possesses the ability to communicate with souls.

No matter how far apart they are, they can still communicate.

However, generally speaking, unless it is a matter of life and death, his ghosts will not use such abilities casually.

Not only is it extremely mentally taxing to use this ability, but they also generally dare not disturb Chen Yushu.

But at this moment, Zhu Jiuzhi suddenly sent out such a soul message, and his first words were a plea for help, so it was clear that he must have fallen into a very dangerous situation.

And it happened very suddenly.

Otherwise, the two are not far apart.

His residence was only about ten miles away from the General Temple of Zhu Jiuzhi.

With his peak evil spirit strength, about to break through to the level of a demon spirit, he would definitely be able to rush to his side in a very short time.

"What happened?"

Chen Yushu responded and immediately stood up.

"Xu Qing has sent someone."

They told me that if I didn't submit, I would die.

They are currently guarding outside my General's Temple, and I don't know when they set up an array outside my temple. Even inside the temple, I can't exert much of my strength.

According to Zhuge Xun, that was the Great Formation for Transforming Yin into Yang.

Suppressing the temple is only the first step.

Once the formation is fully activated, it may even transform the yin energy into yang energy, at which point Zhuge Xun and I will surely die.

I sensed something was wrong, so I quickly called for your help, Master…

Soon, Zhu Jiuzhi's voice came again, and he sounded clearly flustered.

Who made the move?

Chen Yushu rushed out the door while quickly responding.

"Brother Yushu, where are you going?"

At this moment, Xiao Hong, who had been staying by his side, was also stunned when she saw this, but she did not hesitate and quickly followed.

As Chen Yushu's confidante, she naturally needed to stay by Chen Yushu's side at all times.

Then, with a single leap, he grabbed Chen Yushu's clothes, and with a single climb, he sat on his shoulders.

Chen Yushu paid no attention to this and moved swiftly.

Fortunately, his martial arts skills have also greatly improved.

Although I didn't learn any advanced light-body skills.

But with just eight steps to catch the cicada, he became extremely fast. With a light leap, he jumped onto the roof, and then, with a swift movement, he jumped onto the roof of another house.

In just a few leaps and bounds, it had already sped away into the distance.

"Xu Qing's temple keeper."

It seems to be someone named Feng Changxi.

At that moment, Zhu Jiuzhi quickly replied.

"Feng Changxi?"

Chen Yushu frowned.

I have no impression of this person.

However, when he encountered Xu Qing during his previous nighttime stroll, he vaguely sensed a threat within its temple.

So, on instinct, I refused Xu Qing's invitation.

Of course, even without that sense of threat, he wouldn't easily enter a temple of ghosts and gods, to avoid the unknown risks.

At that time, he thought it was a threat inherent in the Xu Qing Temple itself.

But now it seems that Feng Changxi is not so simple after all.

It is highly likely that they are also beings at or above the Dao Realm.

After all, in Zhu Jiuzhi's General Temple, besides himself, there is also Zhuge Xun, a veteran supernatural spirit, who, like Xu Qing, is a local earth god.

Although there are huge differences in strength and status, their combat power is by no means weak.

Even with the support of a powerful formation, Feng Changxi's ability to stand against the two of them and even force Zhu Jiuzhi to ask for help speaks volumes about his strength.

This is also why Chen Yushu did not choose to leave his body and wander away at night.

Although, the speed of the soul traveling at night is faster.

However, the opponent's strength is unpredictable.

Secondly, the Yin-Yang Transformation Formation clearly has a certain restraining effect on the cultivator's soul, so he naturally wouldn't walk into its trap.

soon.

The General's Temple is visible in the distance.

He immediately spotted a somewhat thin, forty- or fifty-year-old monk standing in front of the temple.

"one person?"

Chen Yushu's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

The other party came alone.

However, he soon saw the magnificent array that enveloped the entire area.

The Great Formation for Forbidding Yin and Transforming Yang.

Indeed, a special and powerful force was present, suppressing the entire temple within.

Within this grand formation, the strength of ordinary ghosts and spirits will be greatly limited.

The key is the aura this person exudes.

Powerful! Extremely powerful!

A genuine Yin-walking technique at the Dao Realm or above.

Chen Yushu couldn't help but use his Qi Observation Technique.

That kind of aura was something that Zhou Qing had never felt before, even with the wine gourd, and it was much stronger.

On the contrary, he sensed a similar aura from the violet.

At the time, although he did not know for sure what level of strength Violet was, he had a hunch that she was at least at the Yin Night Wandering Realm.

Suddenly, I was startled.

His expression immediately turned serious.

Previously, he had muttered to himself that if he encountered a Night Wanderer cultivator, he wouldn't be without the ability to fight back.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I actually came face to face with such an existence.

At this moment, the other party naturally noticed Chen Yushu's figure immediately, smiled, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you must be the recently famous psychic, Chen Yushu?"

"who are you?"

Chen Yushu stopped and frowned.

"Feng Changxi!"

You may not have heard of me.

I don't care.

I've just heard that a powerful spirit has recently appeared in Qinghe County, and I can't resist wanting to see it for myself.

The other person said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist's approach is not very pleasing."

Chen Yushu snorted coldly.

"Really? So what?"

I didn't come here this time intending to do anything to those two brats.

"I want to talk to you!"

Feng Changxi didn't care, he just raised his head slightly and said.

"Talk to me?"

A strange look appeared on Chen Yushu's face.

"Correct."

Feng Changxi nodded and said, "You destroyed that formation a few days ago, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu raised an eyebrow.

He naturally knew that what the other party was referring to was the formation he had destroyed a few days ago when he left his body to wander into the Fallen Dragon Abyss.

At the time, he was just trying to buy some time; he didn't intend to solve the problem completely.
