Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 312 Deeply Sinful. (Second Update!)

The ghosts Zheng Que killed during this period were all from the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]. For Qing Li and Shu Yunying, who had already entered the [Scissors Hell], it wouldn't increase their Yin energy much.

However, Ku Lan is currently at the peak of the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], while Nian Nu is only at the peak of the eighth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]...

Let's see if we can raise Kulan's cultivation level to [Scissors Prison] as well!
Thinking of this, he immediately read aloud the record of Kulan in the Book of Life and Death: "Kulan!"

Thick fog rose from the hall, and as the fog parted, figures dressed in black and wearing black umbrellas appeared.

Realizing his predicament, Kulan immediately bowed and said, "This humble servant greets Your Excellency!"

Without hesitation, Zheng Que took advantage of the moment when she lowered her head, opened his palm with the character "令" on it, and aimed it at Ku Lan.

The next moment, the Yin energy around Ku Lan surged and rose, and its intensity began to increase.

A cold wind came from all directions, swirling and swirling, causing her skirt to flutter and dance.

To Zheng Que's surprise, the speed at which Ku Lan's Yin energy increased this time was extremely rapid, quite similar to the momentum when Shu Yunying and Qing Li broke through the [Scissors Prison] last time.

Before long, Ku Lan's cultivation level rose to its peak.

However, the yin energy within his body continued to rise steadily.

Soon, the ever-increasing Yin energy accumulated enough power to break through a certain barrier in an instant. Ku Lan's cultivation level immediately rose significantly, successfully crossing the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] and entering the [Scissors Prison]!
Seeing this, Zheng Que was overjoyed.

Including Qingli and Shu Yunying, he now has three ghost servants from the [Scissors Prison]!
He was initially worried that the number of ghosts he had killed in the past two days wouldn't be enough for Kulan's breakthrough, but fortunately, everything seems to be going very smoothly now.

The moment Kulan stepped into the [Scissors Prison], the record about her on the first page of the [Book of Life and Death] vanished instantly.

As before, the Book of Life and Death automatically turned to the second page, and at the very bottom of all the records on this page, the record about Kulan appeared.

Zheng Que nodded slightly and was about to turn back to the first page of the Book of Life and Death when he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. He was startled and immediately focused his attention on it.

But on the second page of the Book of Life and Death, besides the records of Mu Xiangu, Qing Li, Shu Yunying, and Ku Lan, two more names he had never seen before had appeared at some point:

"Type of creature: malevolent spirit. Species: wood spirit. Real name: None. Place of origin: Yaotai Mountain, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 237 years, 8 months and 1 day."

"Type of creature: evil spirit. Species: mourning woman. Real name: None. Place of origin: Yaotai Mountain, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 246 years, 11 months and 25 days."

Upon seeing the two newly added names, Zheng Que quickly realized that he had reminded Mu Xiangu before that if he wanted to accumulate merit, he should kill ghosts of the same realm who were deeply sinful.

These two ghosts from the [Scissors Prison] should both be the work of Mu Xian Gu.

The other party hadn't come to deliver the storage bag to him, not because the restriction on the storage bag hadn't been lifted, but because they were busy slaying the ghosts of the [Scissors Prison]?
This……

also!

Mu Xian Gu's ability to slay the ghosts of the [Scissors Prison] will enhance his cultivation and strength, which is a worthwhile endeavor!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que looked up at the withered orchid below the hall. At this moment, the yin energy had not completely dissipated. The gray-black mist slowly swirled around the girl in black clothes and with a black umbrella, but its momentum was getting weaker and weaker.

After a short while, this increase in yin energy finally subsided completely.

Without hesitation, Zheng Que immediately used the moment when Ku Lan was kowtowing to express her gratitude to use the [Ghost Control Technique] to take Ku Lan into his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he turned back to the first page of the Book of Life and Death, and then read aloud the name on it: "Niannu".

The mist reappeared, revealing a slender figure in a pink blouse and colorful skirt as it parted.

Zheng Que did not hesitate. Niannu had just knelt down and had not yet uttered her greetings when he began to improve her cultivation.

Like Kulan, Niannu's Yin energy increased at an extremely rapid pace. A howling wind raged, and black mist filled the hall.

Soon, the female hanging figure successfully broke through to the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell].

After Niannu's cultivation reached the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], her yin energy increased slightly before gradually stopping.

Zheng Que was not surprised by this. Ku Lan had already diverted most of the Yin energy from the ghosts he had killed. Nian Nu's ability to break through the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison] was already a very good result.

In a flash, Zheng Que ordered Niannu to leave, and then turned the Book of Life and Death to the second page again.

Looking at the records on the second page, he didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Mu Xian Gu!"

※※※

Yaotai Mountain.

In the shady mountain valley, where the sun never shines, several towering trees with lush foliage, like large, dark clouds, completely block out the sky. The sound of a woman's weeping lingers, rising and falling, filled with sorrow.

The soft ground, amidst the fresh scent of grass and trees, exudes a strong stench of decay, formed from layers of fallen leaves that have repeatedly fermented.

At that moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, the crying stopped abruptly, and a towering tree snapped in two with a crack, slowly falling to the ground.

The collapse of the giant tree caused a series of disturbances, breaking the usual tranquility of the place.

Wow…

Large clumps of withered leaves fluttered like birds, carrying a biting chill, swirling and filling the sky.

Mu Xiangu stood on the branch of a giant tree, her ivory-yellow dress crisscrossed with many wrinkles and cracks, her sideburns were disheveled, and her delicate face also showed a bit of disarray.

She held a pen in her right hand and a head resembling that of an old woman in her left.

The head's eyes, mouth, and nose all drooped, giving it a pained and sorrowful appearance. It was shrouded in a layer of dark, misty aura that was rapidly dissipating.

Below it, a burly, headless corpse with three leopard tails stood frozen for a moment before collapsing with a thud. The aura of [Scissors Prison] and the yin energy swirling around the old woman's head quickly dissipated.

Mu Xiangu's figure was slightly translucent at this moment, obviously due to the great depletion of Yin energy, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a gratified smile.

The great man of the underworld said that slaying evil spirits of the same realm who are deeply sinful can increase one's merit!
This old ghostly creature has the same cultivation level as her, both being at the [Scissors Prison] level.

Twenty years ago, the other party sent a group of living people to her gathering... This was clearly a grave sin!
Kill!

Ok……

This is the second one, and my merits have increased considerably!

Now, let's take a break, and then go find the next one...

Thinking of this, Mu Xiangu casually threw away the old woman's head. The head began to disintegrate rapidly while it was still in mid-air, and by the time it hit the ground, it had completely turned into ashes.

Mu Xiangu sat down cross-legged on a branch, her eyes slightly closed, and absorbed the yin energy of the place to restore her condition.

Just then, his figure suddenly vanished without warning.
