Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 303 Blood Refining Evil Technique. (Second Update!)

In the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que sat on a limping armchair, his brow furrowing unconsciously as he pondered.

During his trip to Wanshan Temple, he killed a "Law Demon" from the [Scissors Prison]!
Now, if we summon Shu Yunying in and improve her cultivation level, she can definitely break through to the [Scissors Prison] directly!
As for Qing Li, although this female ghost hasn't reached the peak of the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] yet, the yin energy of the [Scissors Prison] "Law Ghost" is definitely enough for Qing Li's cultivation to rise from the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] to its peak, and finally break through to the [Scissors Prison]...

He even summoned Kulan, who was at the eighth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], and the opponent might even break through to the [Scissors Prison]!
However, his last tribulation, when he was merely in the early stage of Qi Refining, was the [Evil Shadow Play] of the [Iron Tree Prison]!
If this tribulation is still the Iron Tree Prison, then even if he raises the cultivation levels of Shu Yunying, Qing Li, and Ku Lan to the Scissors Prison, it will be meaningless.

therefore……

"Luo Fuyu? Or Mu Xiangu?"

In a flash, Zheng Que hesitated.

Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu are both at the peak of the [Scissors Prison]. If one of these two female ghosts were to improve her cultivation, there is a possibility that one of them could break through to the [Iron Tree Prison].

However, it is also possible that Luo Fuyu or Mu Xiangu, after absorbing the Yin energy of a [Scissors Prison], still had their cultivation stuck at the peak of the [Scissors Prison].

After all, these two peak-level [Scissors Prison] beings had already received imperial decrees, and their Yin energy, tempered by the underworld, was far stronger than that of other ghosts of the same level.

Similarly, the yin energy required for a breakthrough far exceeds that of ghosts at the same level.

After much deliberation, Zheng Que finally made his decision...

Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu are both at the peak of the [Scissors Prison] level, so he doesn't lack the combat power of the [Scissors Prison] level now.

However, if he could have a female ghost from the Iron Tree Prison, his chances of successfully overcoming this tribulation would definitely increase significantly!
Even if this advancement fails and disaster strikes, there are still nine days, enough time for him to make further preparations...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que looked at the second page of the Book of Life and Death and immediately called out, "Luofu Rain!"

Taiping County Town.

Jingxian Pavilion, underground.

In the narrow and deep passageway, four well-dressed cultivators led a group of carefully selected young and strong mortals, walking with a clattering sound.

"Immortal Master, after I become an immortal, will I truly be able to see my wife again?"

"We will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the Immortal Master..."

"Immortal Master, could you please give this elixir of immortality to my elderly parents at home...?"

Listening to the questions clamoring about the alchemy ingredients, the four cultivators led the way while smiling and giving perfunctory answers.

Their smiles at that moment were not feigned.

After all, each time they start refining pills, they take another step closer to Foundation Establishment!
I'm happy that my cultivation level is about to improve again.

Soon, these mortals were led through the stone gate, where a spacious platform, as wide as a plaza, appeared before them. There were towering alchemy furnaces, alchemists sitting around them... everything was ready.

The mortals entered the place with trepidation, looked around, and saw nothing related to the elixir of immortality. Instead, they saw piles of white bones below the platform, and immediately burst into horrified shouts.

"Aaaaaah! Dead, dead people..."

"They're liars!!"

"Help! No, spare me!"

Screams of agony rose and fell, but the alchemists, accustomed to this scene, acted without hesitation, sweeping all the alchemy materials into the abyss below the platform. Soon, as they cast incantations, the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Array activated, flames soared into the sky from the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy process began amidst the increasingly shrill cries of the mortals.

The four cultivators who had escorted the mortals burst into laughter upon hearing the numerous screams of agony.

One of the cultivators, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at the alchemy furnace, urged excitedly, "Quick! Quick! Increase the heat! We can finally begin the Foundation Establishment process!"

As they spoke, several alchemists unleashed various spells, and blood-red light suddenly rose from the deep pit, rapidly surging like a tide and constantly approaching the platform above.

Seeing this, the four cultivators who were escorting the mortals immediately walked to the edge of the platform, sat down cross-legged, calmed their minds, and began the final preparations for foundation building.

At this moment, one of the yellow-robed cultivators suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "This blood refining method is, after all, called an evil method."

"Recently, something has been going on in the city, and the city lord has begun to suspect us. If we start the furnace now, will something bad happen?"

The green-robed cultivator beside him immediately said coldly, "At this point, there's no reason to give up!"

"Besides, what if the city lord finds out?"

"Lu Maohong is not here, and Wei Changyang was seriously injured five years ago and has been in seclusion ever since. As for the City Lord's Mansion, they only have a few Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators now?"

"If the city lord is willing to play dumb, that's fine. But if he's not, we can help him to agree!"

Another cultivator in a dark gray robe nodded and said calmly, "Don't think too much. As long as we successfully establish our foundation, even if every living person in this entire Taiping County dies, I doubt that the so-called city lord Chi Tingshou will dare to say anything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-red light in the abyss suddenly rose a lot higher, finally breaking through the height of the platform, and poured down on the four Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators like a fountain.

With this layer of bloody light, the four people's auras seemed to receive some powerful boost, and immediately began to rise steadily.

Just as they focused their minds and began to build their foundation, a huge black shadow quietly emerged from the bottom of the abyss.

It rose slowly from the blood-red light, initially resembling a long whale rising from the ocean. However, as its body grew larger and larger as it rose, it became like a giant island emerging from a sea of ​​blood in the blink of an eye.

Soon, as the dark figure approached the height of the platform, it began to reveal its true form—a gigantic human face, composed of countless skulls, radiating an overwhelming aura of yin energy and resentment.

Four Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators immediately cast spells, activating the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Array to suppress the human-faced ghost.

Countless array patterns immediately appeared on the square, and numerous black chains shot out from the mountain wall, intertwining like a net, all pressing down on the human-faced ghost.

This Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Array was meticulously crafted by a master array master appointed by the imperial court. Even in this world where ghosts and monsters roam freely, it has managed to maintain the existence of cities and towns. It can be said that this array is specifically designed to counter ghosts and has endless uses when dealing with them.

Normally, whenever they activated the formation, the ghosts in the abyss would be forcefully suppressed.

But this time...

clack clack...

The ghostly human-faced creature was surrounded by surging, eerie energy, its terrifying aura causing it to rise like a giant dark cloud. The chains that suppressed it rubbed and vibrated with its rising motion, producing a loud, crashing sound.

Soon, the sound was mixed with various "cracks," and the once intact chain began to show spiderweb-like cracks.

Upon witnessing this scene, the four cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, as well as the alchemists who were still activating the cauldron, instantly changed their expressions!

Before they could react, the chains of the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Array shattered with a crash.

boom! ! !
