Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 306 The Ghost Servant's Strength Increases. (Second Update!)

With Zheng Que's command, Mu Xiangu's figure disappeared from the hall.

After looking around, Zheng Que looked down at Mu Xiangu's record in the Book of Life and Death and nodded slightly.

Now, with the Ghost Bride of the Iron Tree Prison secretly protecting him, Mu Xian Gu, at the peak of the Scissors Prison, can easily kill more ghosts from the Scissors Prison during this time.

He had already given Mu Xiangu a hint, and with the other party's intelligence being no less than that of a living person, she would definitely know what to do next.

In nine days, I hope to raise Mu Xian Gu's cultivation level to the [Iron Tree Prison] level as well!
While pondering, he turned to the first page of the Book of Life and Death, and then read aloud the record: "Shu Yunying".

Soon, Shu Yunying's figure appeared in the mist.

Upon realizing he had arrived in the underworld, the "living dead" immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully, saying, "My lord!"

Zheng Que remained calm and, without uttering a single word, immediately began to work on improving his cultivation.

Yin energy surged in from all directions, forming a giant funnel that continuously poured into Shu Yunying's body.

There was a sense of turmoil brewing below.

The Yin energy of the "Law Ghost" had already been divided up by two female ghosts at the peak of the [Scissors Prison] level. Although there was not much left, it was still quite abundant for a female ghost who was only at the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] level.

Before long, Shu Yunying's aura rose higher and higher, reaching an indescribable peak, and instantly broke through the invisible barrier, successfully stepping into the [Scissors Prison]!
Shu Yunying was overjoyed. Had she successfully established her foundation?
Yes!

Since I'm alive, I must have successfully established my foundation!
Shu Yunying immediately quickened her kowtowing, expressing her gratitude with tears streaming down her face: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. I am deeply grateful and would gladly go through fire and water for you..."

As she spoke, the yin energy around her continued to increase, and only after a moment did it slowly stop.

Seeing this, Zheng Que was somewhat surprised. The Yin energy of the "Law Ghost" was stronger than he had imagined.

Shu Yunying's previous cultivation level was at the peak of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. He originally thought that the little bit of Yin energy left by the "Law Ghost" after it was divided up by the Ghost Bride and Mu Xian Gu was only enough for this young lady of the Shu Family Fortress to barely break through the [Scissors Prison]. But judging from the current situation, even if Shu Yunying's cultivation level is only at the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], it is probably not a problem.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que took advantage of the moment when Shu Yunying was kowtowing to quickly use the [Ghost Control Technique] to turn her into a streak of bloody light and put her into his palm.

Shu Yunying was just inside his soul-nourishing bag. If he were to tell her to leave now, she most likely wouldn't return to reality, but would instead be sent to the Tongue-Pulling Hell...

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que continued speaking to the Book of Life and Death: "Qing Li."

As before, Qingli's figure appeared in the swirling mist.

Qingli was now very familiar with entering the underworld, so after glancing around, she was not flustered at all. After respectfully bowing, she was about to skillfully begin her daily complaint: that so-called "Painted Skin" female ghost, and the other two ghost servants of the human child, in short, except for Niannu, they all deserve to go to hell!
But at that moment, she suddenly felt the yin energy in her body surge and begin to rise rapidly.

This was a situation Qingli was very familiar with. She immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out and skillfully began to express her gratitude: "Your Excellency's judgment is astute... Your kindness is as clear as a feather, and your justice is as fair as the heavens..."

Before long, Qingli's cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], and her Yin energy was still increasing.

In the hall, Zheng Que watched this scene quietly. After a while, Qing Li's aura actually broke through the bottleneck of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] and entered the [Scissors Prison].

Zheng Que looked down at the Book of Life and Death. Qing Li and Shu Yunying's records had both disappeared from the first page.

He turned the page and saw that on the second page, the first name that was originally the Ghost Bride Luo Fuyu had now become [Painted Skin] Mu Xian Gu.

The second name is Meng Yao, the Two-Faced Nightmare Princess. The third name is Shu Yunying.

Qingli ranked fourth.

Looking at this record, Zheng Que was very satisfied. The strength of the Yin energy of the "Law Ghost" was somewhat beyond his expectations.

In a flash, he ordered Qingli to leave, and then summoned Kulan and Niannu in separately...

A moment later, Ku Lan's cultivation level rose from the eighth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] to the peak of the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

Before being sealed, this "evil spirit" possessed the peak strength of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]. Now, it has essentially recovered all its former cultivation. It's just a pity that if it had a little more Yin energy, it could have broken through to the [Scissors Hell]...

As for Niannu's cultivation level, it broke through from the seventh level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] to the peak of the eighth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

In the remainder of the journey, as long as Niannu kills more ghosts, she should be able to break through to the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]...

After Zheng Que finished improving the cultivation of all his ghost servants, the black aura between his brows had thinned to almost nothing.

He relaxed, leaned back in the limping armchair, and gazed at the empty hall, waiting quietly.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery trembled, and when it froze again, we had returned to reality.

The night was now past its halfway point. The dark blue sky was inverted over the earth, and a few scattered stars emitted a faint glow. The outlines of distant mountains and nearby trees merged together, forming a deep, shadowy landscape, interspersed with all sorts of ghostly wails and howls.

The camp's array was functioning normally. The night watchmen moved cautiously in the distance. Around the campfire, several cultivators who were not on duty sat cross-legged with their eyes closed. The orange flames flickered slowly, conveying a unique tranquility.

Qingli and Niannu stood guard on either side of Zheng Que. When Zheng Que woke up, Qingli snorted coldly and looked in another direction, while Niannu obediently bowed and greeted him in a low voice: "My lord!"

Zheng Que glanced around and, finding nothing unusual and no one noticing him, immediately opened a Soul Nourishing Bag. He then used the [Ghost Control Technique] to quickly transfer Ku Lan and Shu Yunying into the Soul Nourishing Bag.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the Soul-Summoning Banner and put Qingli and Niannu into it.

Not long ago, Qingli's cultivation level was only at the eighth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. When she was at Wanshan Temple, she improved to the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]. Now she has broken through to the [Scissors Prison] in one fell swoop.

The leap in cultivation level is too great!

Anyone with a normal sense can see the problem!
Niannu's situation was similar...

Therefore, to prevent any accidents, he directly put both ghost servants into the soul-summoning banner.

Unlike the Soul-Nourishing Bag, the Soul-Summoning Banner is a magical artifact. If its owner is in danger, Qing Li, as the main soul within the banner, can still protect her...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que stopped cultivating and instead looked solemnly at the soul-summoning banner in front of him.

The main soul, Qing Li, has reached the level of [Scissors Prison].

Now, he can try to break the seal on the soul-summoning banner!
