Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 145 continues while the iron is hot. (Second update!)

It's obvious that he's been kidnapped by Kulan and that ghost bride!
Qingli and Niannu probably didn't participate, otherwise they would definitely have been queuing outside...

This was his second time entering the underworld, starting from when he received the summoning banner.

Before he first entered the underworld, outside Shu Family Fortress, there seemed to be a very powerful ghost. The mere yin energy it emitted made him tremble with fear and feel a chill throughout his body, as if his body was frozen in place.

At that moment, Kulan immediately said that he could handle it and moved the black silk umbrella that was being held over his head.

At that time, Zheng Que thought that Ku Lan was preparing to fight a great battle against the invading ghosts. After entering the underworld, she specially called all the other underworld officials to go and help.

result……

This ghost bride, Luo Fuyu, must be the friend that Ku Lan had been mentioning before!

The moment the ghost bride's aura appeared at Shu Family Fortress, Ku Lan must have recognized her immediately, which led to what happened next.

However, Ku Lan's current cultivation level is only at the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. Even at her peak, she was only close to the [Scissors Prison]. She never expected that her friend would be at the late stage of the [Scissors Prison].

Thinking of this, Zheng Que suddenly shook his head. Ku Lan had been sealed for decades. If it weren't for those decades of sealing, her current cultivation level should be able to break through the [Scissors Prison].

And Kulan's friend must have improved his cultivation over the past few decades.

The difference in their cultivation levels shouldn't have been this great before.

Regardless of the circumstances, it's clear that Kulan's relationship with this ghost bride is extraordinary.

Besides, the reason I am entering the underworld again is probably because I have absorbed a lot of yin energy.

The so-called "Myriad Flowers and Beautiful Bones" inner core that the ghost bride fed him contained a large amount of extremely pure Yin energy!
That's not something a living person could eat; it's a kind of sustenance for ghosts to cultivate.

If it were a normal cultivator, they would probably have been overwhelmed by the yin energy and died by now.

However, he possesses the Book of Life and Death; when the yin energy within his body accumulates to a certain level, it will be absorbed by the Book of Life and Death…

Thinking of this, Zheng Que glanced at the black energy between his brows. At this moment, the black energy was surging and flowing wildly like a waterfall, almost roaring as it rushed into the Book of Life and Death.

The black aura was extremely large, directly affecting his vision. Everything he saw was shrouded in a gray haze, as if the entire underworld was covered by a gloom. This situation was far greater than ever before. Moreover, after such a period of absorption, the black aura showed no signs of weakening and still maintained its mighty momentum.

"Is this withered orchid trying to pluck me from the flames?"

"I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, what level of cultivation can I possibly gain from this?"

"and many more!"

"When Kulan complained to me about Qingli before, she mentioned the practice of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin, seemingly with the aim of stealing my 'destiny'..."

Upon realizing this, Zheng Que's face stiffened. His so-called destiny was nothing but a complete fabrication!

If the other party were to use divination on me, wouldn't that expose my secret?
No!

We need to think of a solution!
In a flash, Zheng Que looked at the Book of Life and Death in front of him. There were no new names added to the Book of Life and Death, and there were no problems with the records of Qing Li and Nian Nu.

Shu Yunying is still in a state of "unavailable".

After observing for a moment, Zheng Que nodded slightly, then spoke softly, calling out, "Ku Lan!"

※※※ Bedroom.

The vast majority of the space was occupied by an exceptionally large bed.

The entire house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, resembling a bridal chamber.

Amidst the clusters of flowers, a pair of wedding candles burned brightly, illuminating the room in a joyous crimson glow.

The candlelight illuminated the entire room, revealing a large red curtain embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, half-open and half-closed, through which Zheng Que's figure could be seen.

At this moment, he was naked, lying on his back on a bright red silk brocade quilt with twin lotus flowers, his head resting on a porcelain pillow with a pattern of continuous gourds and vines, his eyes closed and motionless.

Ku Lan lay sprawled out to the side, one hand gripping a folded black silk umbrella tightly, the umbrella held at an angle in front of her chest, its tip tucked into the back of her leg, lifting one of her legs up. Her other hand trembled as she pressed it against Zheng Que's eyes, firmly blocking his vision.

Her expression was blank, her eyes unfocused, and she involuntarily stuck out half of her small tongue, breathing rapidly. She occasionally exhaled wisps of yin energy, which stirred the brocade curtains.

After a while, Kulan finally regained consciousness. She moved her body and immediately got up.

hateful!

Just now, this evil human cultivator suddenly woke up, and I was so frightened that I didn't have time to use my Yin technique!

We have to do it again!
Ok……

I must continue pretending to be that rebellious slut!
We must not let this evil human cultivator discover us!

Thinking of this, Ku Lan immediately looked at Zheng Que, only to find that Zheng Que was lying motionless on the brocade quilt, and the intense yin energy that had been surging around his body was rapidly diminishing.

"How come the soul of this evil human cultivator is gone again?"

Ku Lan immediately frowned, and before she could continue thinking, a familiar figure suddenly appeared by the bedside.

The newcomer was dressed in a bright red wedding gown with gold trim, a jade belt around her waist, and a skirt that pressed down on her chest. Her head was covered with a large red veil embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, adorned with tiny red gold beads, and a long, golden tassel that trailed down to her chest, obscuring her face completely. Her arms were crossed over her lower abdomen, revealing only a section of her pale wrists, adorned with a pair of jade bracelets. She gently held a blood-red embroidered handkerchief, making her hands appear even more delicate and fragile.

Although her attire was bright and colorful, she exuded a strong aura of yin energy. As soon as she appeared, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop significantly. She was indeed the ghost bride.

After the ghost bride appeared, she didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Are you done?"

Upon hearing this, Ku Lan fell silent, but was too embarrassed to admit that she had failed to collect the divination and had instead been amused by this evil human cultivator...

So, Ku Lan composed herself and replied calmly, "No! It's still hot, I'll continue while it's still hot!"

The ghost bride nodded slightly, and with her movements, the pearls and jade under her veil jingled. She said in a low voice, "This human cultivator has very strong yang energy. Don't just focus on enjoying yourself and forget yourself. This human cultivator answers whatever he asks, and you've even forgotten about divination."

Upon hearing this, Ku Lan froze, but quickly replied with dissatisfaction, "That was because I was caught off guard!"

With that, she rallied her spirits and climbed back onto Zheng Que.

Seeing this, the ghost bride didn't say anything more. With a sway of her red dress, her figure quickly disappeared.

Just as Ku Lan was about to make a move, she suddenly seemed to be summoned by something, and her figure vanished without a trace beneath the brocade curtain...
