Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 24 Two Forces.

As soon as the words fell, a figure in white clothes and black hair, suddenly wrapped in thick yin energy, appeared beside Zheng Que. It was Qingli.

Qingli glanced at Zheng Que, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "Well done, little human!"

"Thanks to your dull talent, your inability to be taught, and your hopeless condition, you finally managed to piss that old Taoist off!"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll show some mercy and cooperate with you, little boy, just this once!"

Zheng Que was already feeling a bit irritated, and after hearing this, he became even more upset.

However, he couldn't beat the other party at the moment. If he really wanted to teach this woman a lesson, the most likely thing would be that he would be beaten up again.

How could I, the Lord of the Underworld, live such a miserable life?

Thinking of this, Zheng Que did not say anything and started practicing the [Spirit Descent Technique].

The spiritual energy in his body began to circulate under the guidance of the skills, and he made strange gestures with his hands.

Master just said that among the three techniques, this [Spirit Descent Technique] is the easiest one.

Now that he was trying it himself, he soon discovered that this technique was surprisingly easy to practice!
After a while, he had completed most of the spell, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated like a wheel, gathering all the yang energy in his body.

At this time, Zheng Que changed the hand gestures and opened the palm with the word "Ling" written on it.

Unlike [Ghost Controlling Technique], [Spirit Descent Technique] does not require this character to be aimed at the ghost servant. It uses the caster as a carrier and can forcibly summon the caster's ghost servant back to the caster.

The next moment, Qingli seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and floated uncontrollably towards Zheng Que's palm.

Whoosh!
Qingli immediately turned into a streak of blood and was instantly sucked into Zheng Que's palm.

Immediately afterwards, the blood light did not stay in Zheng Que's palm, but quickly spread along his palm, towards his arms, body...

Soon, Zheng Que's entire arm was covered with black and white lines.

These lines extended densely like some kind of rhizome, and in the blink of an eye they spread to his neck, growing rapidly on the side of his neck.

Zheng Que felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and his body temperature was rapidly decreasing, but the magic formula in his hand did not stop at all, instead it accelerated the circulation of spiritual energy in his body.

At the same time, he clearly felt that the strength in his body began to rise steadily.

As Zheng Que cast his last spell, the lines on the side of his neck seemed to be completed, and a second head suddenly emerged!

The head was pale, with messy long hair and a purple-black mark on the chin, exuding a ferocious and violent aura. It was Qingli!
The moment Qingli's head appeared on Zheng Que's neck, his whole aura became extremely cold, but his body seemed to be infused with enormous power out of thin air. Every move he made was filled with a sense of abundance, and he felt that he was stronger than ever before!
[Spirit Descent Technique] The practice was successful!

The entire temple was like an ice cellar. The strong yin energy cast a black veil over the vision again, and everything seemed particularly gloomy and cold.

Zheng Que stood in the open space, his face, neck, back of his hands... all the exposed skin was covered with black and white patterns. These patterns seemed to be naturally generated. Their shapes were like nets and roots. While spreading across his entire body, they converged towards the side of his neck, surrounding the hanged woman's head.

This scene looked terrifying and bizarre, far more terrifying than anything that looked like a demon or ghost.

Zheng Que's expression was calm as he carefully felt the changes in his own strength.

The qingli head next to his head suddenly said, "Human child, your magic is very interesting!"

"With this technique, that elder...you don't have to worry about the calamity that will happen to your child in three days."

"Alright, go to sleep now, don't occupy this body. I need to think carefully about this technique."

Go to bed quickly?

Don't occupy your body?

Zheng Que smiled immediately. His master had said that the biggest risk of the [Spirit Descent Technique] was that one would be attacked back by one's own ghost servant. In this situation, if an ordinary cultivator who had practiced this technique suddenly heard the ghost servant say this, he would definitely be horrified.

But he is different. He has another identity in the underworld. Even if he punches Qingli twice in the face right now, nothing will happen!

Of course, if he really did this, Qingli would definitely retaliate after the [Spirit Descent Technique] ended. He would need to be patient for a while until he surpassed her in strength. Thinking of this, he replied bluntly, "Stop talking nonsense! Am I the master? Or are you the master?"

"Have you forgotten how badly you were defeated in our last battle between master and servant?"

"Remember this, you lowly ghost servant! Only the master can occupy the ghost servant's body and figure out the ghost servant's methods. No ghost servant can occupy the master's body, let alone figure out the master's magic!"

Hearing this, Qingli was immediately furious and said, "You little human, if you have the guts, fight me again!"

"This time, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

"By the way, you are not allowed to use the [Ghost Controlling Technique]..."

Hearing this, Zheng Que chuckled. At the moment, his strength was not as good as Qingli's, so it was impossible for him to fight with the other party.

Of course, if a fight really came to a head, he would not only use his [Ghost Controlling Technique], but he would also drag the opponent into the underworld and use another identity to intimidate the opponent into kowtow and confess his guilt to his real self...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que ignored Qingli. He tried to move his hands and feet and made a few movements. He found that except for Qingli's head which was out of his control, there was nothing abnormal with the rest of her body.

Then he walked out of the dilapidated temple and punched the open space in the yard.

boom! ! !
A resounding explosion sent sand and rocks flying, creating a deep crater in the bluestone pavement. Water gurgled in the pit, and a swathe of gravel and sand rolled across the ground, creating a startling sound. Several nearby households had previously made subtle movements, but then, as if a mechanism had been activated, even breathing vanished after the blast, as if Zheng Que were alone.

Zheng Que brushed away the dust that was blowing in his face, looked at the deep pit, and nodded slightly.

My current strength may have reached the second level of Qi training, or even the third level of Qi training.

However, compared with Qingli's original body, there seems to be a gap.

This was probably because his physical body was too weak to unleash the full power of Qingli's Yin energy.

Zheng Que then began to test the magic again, and soon discovered that the area covered by the [Gathering Yin Technique] he was performing had more than doubled, and the dark clouds created by this magic had greatly enhanced his strength.

There are currently no ghosts to test [Ghost Controlling Technique], and [Spiritual Eye Technique] remains the same as before, without any changes.

In addition, he can now use all the methods that Qingli has mastered, and the power seems to be even stronger than when Qingli herself uses them!
But his speed of performing the move was not as fast as Qingli's...

After another round of attempts and comparisons, Zheng Que finally had some idea of ​​the general situation of this technique.

During the period of spirit descent, although the caster is at risk of being attacked by the ghost servant, he can control both the spiritual power of the cultivator and the yin energy of the ghost at the same time!

Moreover, except for [Spiritual Eye Technique] and [Ghost Controlling Technique], all other techniques and methods have been enhanced to a certain extent.

However, he was too inexperienced in using Yin Energy, so he used Qingli's methods rather stiffly.

If he wants to achieve the same proficiency as Qingli, he still needs to practice more...

After figuring out the situation, Zheng Que immediately cast a spell to cancel the [Spiritual Summoning Technique].

The next moment, Qingli's head separated from Zheng Que's neck like a ripe fruit. In the blink of an eye, the black and white lines fell off Zheng Que's body and fell to the ground along with Qingli's head.

Zheng Que felt his body temperature rising rapidly and soon returned to normal.

Looking at Qingli lying on the ground, not getting up, Zheng Que was a little surprised and asked immediately, "Low-level ghost servant, what's wrong?"

Qingli lay there motionless, her body trembling slightly. The Yin Qi on her body was like a candle flame blown by a strong wind, swaying violently. After a while, she replied coldly: "Human child, your magic is very depleting to my Yin Qi!"

"My aunt needs to rest now, don't disturb her, little boy!"

As he spoke, Qingli finally stood up slowly, and immediately floated towards the dead old tree beside the courtyard wall, and soon hung himself on the tree.

Watching this scene, Zheng Que immediately understood that after using the [Spiritual Advent Technique], the ghost servant would fall into a period of weakness...
