Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 15: Couple seeks help.

After saying this, Zheng Que didn't take Zhao Laoer's eggs and walked straight towards his home.

Zhao Laoer's wife has been married for several days, but Zhao Laoer is still alive and well.

This shows that the daughter-in-law's strength should not be as good as the "Calling Ghost". With his current cultivation level, he can probably deal with it.

However, to be cautious, he decided to first learn the two techniques that his master had taught him today, and then take Qingli, his ghost servant, with him before going to Zhao Laoer's house...

If everything goes well, he will have another ghost servant.

If anything unexpected happens, there should be no problem in protecting yourself.

As for the eggs sent by Zhao Laoer... there is a ghost living in the other party's house now, and he is not sure whether the food in the other party's house is safe.

After walking for a while, Zheng Que soon arrived at the door of his house. When he was about to go in, he saw a strange woman sitting on the threshold of his house.

The woman was wearing a green jacket that had been washed to a pale color, an ivory silk skirt, and had her hair in a Japanese bun with a wooden hairpin inserted diagonally. She lowered her head, buried her face in her arms, and her shoulders moved slightly, as if she was crying.

Zheng Que frowned immediately. He couldn't see the other person's appearance and didn't know whose girl she was.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que looked at the woman in front of him and asked tentatively, "Miss, whose daughter are you? Why are you here?"

Hearing Zheng Que's voice, the woman immediately raised her head, revealing a pale face with fine eyebrows and delicate eyes. Although her appearance was not stunning, she had a certain charm of a beautiful girl from a small family. At this moment, she cried and said, "I am the newlywed wife of Zhao Laoer. My father's surname is Sun, and my nickname is Cui'er."

"After being promised to Zhao Laoer by the matchmaker's words and my parents' orders, I have always been a faithful wife, visiting him morning and night, never forgetting."

"But for some reason, my husband not only avoids me every day and refuses to see me, but he also refuses to eat even a single morsel of the food I cook."

"Even just now, my husband even hired someone to beat me to death!"

"My life is so miserable, please have mercy on me, sir, and help me!"

As she spoke, the woman's face was filled with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful.

Zheng Que frowned and looked at the other person. Zhao Laoer's new wife?

He had just agreed to Zhao Laoer's request when Zhao Laoer's wife immediately came to him!
Is this a coincidence?

Or did something happen in Zhao Laoer's family that he didn't know about?
Zheng Que's mind raced, but he didn't dare to act directly. Instead, he replied very cautiously, "I understand. I have something else to do right now. I'll go to the Zhao family later."

Sun Cui'er immediately said happily: "Thank you, sir!"

After she finished speaking, she stopped nagging and simply stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

Zheng Que stood there and watched her walk away before he opened the door and walked into the room.

He closed the door with his backhand, went to the inner room and sat down. Just as he was about to start practicing, he saw Qingli's translucent figure hanging on the beam again.

This Qingli has not had any communication with him since losing to him yesterday.

Of course, this wasn't a bad thing for him. After all, when he was practicing, the other party was very quiet and didn't disturb him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que did not waste any time and immediately began to practice the [Yin Gathering Technique] and [Spiritual Eye Technique].

He followed the steps that Taoist Qu had explained at the time and began to silently recite the mantra of the [Gathering Yin Technique]. At the same time, he made one spell after another with his hands.

Feeling the spiritual energy in his body rapidly depleting, Zheng Que felt a cold airflow rapidly gathering above his head. As he formed the final spell in his hand, the airflow transformed into an inky black cloud.

This inky cloud covered the entire ceiling of his room. The yin energy inside was extremely dense, as if it were substantial. The light in the entire room became extremely dim, the temperature dropped rapidly, and mottled frost flowers condensed in the corners.

This is the dark cloud condensed by the [Yin Gathering Technique], which can block the sunlight and absorb the surrounding Yin energy.

Under this dark cloud, his ghost servants can exert the combat power of the night even in the daytime.

At this time, Qingli, who had been hanging on the beam, took a deep breath of the clouds with great enjoyment.

Having already learned the [Yin Gathering Technique], Zheng Que immediately stopped the spell in his hand, and the spiritual energy in his body also stopped being consumed.

Without the support of his spiritual energy, the dark clouds that gathered above his head immediately began to dissipate.

In the blink of an eye, darkness, frost, dark clouds...all disappeared completely.

The confused and cold feeling brought by the [Yin Gathering Technique] also disappeared without a trace.

Then, Zheng Que closed his eyes and began to practice the [Spiritual Eye Technique].

He silently recited the mantra in his mind, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated rapidly according to a specific pattern, converging towards his eyes.

The spiritual energy consumption of [Spirit Eye Technique] is obviously much less than that of [Yin Gathering Technique], but the difficulty is much higher than that of [Yin Gathering Technique].

Zheng Que circulated his spiritual energy seven or eight times before he finally realized something...

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shot out a sharp cold light like a sword drawn from its sheath!

After successfully using the [Spiritual Eye Technique], Zheng Que immediately saw a faint white light shining through his hands and entire body. The light flickered like a flame, and seemed to be some kind of simple energy, slowly pulsating at a certain frequency.

Zheng Que knew in his heart that this was the spiritual energy in his body. He had just practiced two spells and had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, so the spiritual energy in his body now looked relatively weak.

Thinking of this, he looked up and looked at Qingli.

Qingli still kept hanging on the beam with his back to him, and a thick black aura emanated from his whole body. The black aura penetrated his body like sticky black smoke, almost turning his white clothes black. It was more than ten times thicker than the white light in his body!
Looking at this scene, Zheng Cheng immediately knew that Qingli's current strength should be much stronger than his.

Moreover, it is still daytime now. When night comes, the opponent's aura should be stronger than what we see now!
After determining the approximate strength of himself and Qingli, Zheng Que immediately closed his eyes and stopped the operation of the [Spiritual Eye Technique].

He has now learned both techniques, and the total time spent was only about a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Que was very clear about this situation. Whether it was these two techniques or yesterday's [Ghost Taming Technique], the fact that he was able to learn them so quickly was probably related to the growth of his soul.

Every time a new name is recorded in the [Book of Life and Death], the strength of his soul increases.

Apart from that, he had just practiced the [Spiritual Eye Technique] and had not encountered the side effects that his master mentioned.

This must be because all the Yin energy in his body was sucked away by the [Book of Life and Death]...
