Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 338 Who Will Suck It? (Second Update!)
In the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que gripped the gavel in one hand and the Book of Life and Death in the other, his gaze fixed on the records in the Book of Life and Death before him.

At this moment, on the first page, newly added names are cascading down like a waterfall.

"...Diao Yihong. Place of origin: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan...died at 3:45 AM due to blood burning."

"...Mo Linjuan. Place of origin: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan...died from blood burning at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM)."

"...Niu Mei. Place of origin: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan...died at the end of Yin hour due to blood burning."

In just a short time, hundreds of records have appeared, and new names are still being added.

These names all belong to young men in their prime, and all of them died from being subjected to bloodshed.

Looking at this shocking scene, Zheng Que took a deep breath.

This blood-refining evil technique has slaughtered more living people than any ghost he has ever seen!
Such a huge quantity could not have been obtained through blood refinement in a short period of time, but rather through blood refinement that lasted for several years, more than ten years, or even decades!
No, it might be more than a few decades!

Lu Maohong had worked tirelessly for the imperial court for fifty years, and the opportunity to establish his foundation was something he was already proud to boast about.

This evil method of foundation building can't possibly be faster than Lu Maohong's speed, can it?

After all, Lu Maohong had initially been extremely disdainful of the evil methods used to build a foundation...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que glanced at the names still being added on the first page, and immediately turned to the third page of the Book of Life and Death without further hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he read aloud from the Book of Life and Death: "Admiring the Immortal Bones!"

A mist rose from the hall, revealing a figure in an ivory-yellow dress.

At this moment, Mu Xiangu's body was shrouded in yin energy, and her dress was slightly disheveled, clearly indicating that she had just experienced a great battle.

Upon realizing she had arrived in the underworld, she immediately knelt down and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Zheng Que nodded, and was about to start increasing Mu Xiangu's cultivation when he suddenly frowned. Looking down at him, he could clearly see that there was a familiar-looking abscess on Mu Xiangu's back, which was rapidly appearing.

The abscess was small, but it was exactly the same as the abscesses that had just grown on his body!
Did Mu Xiangu also fall victim to the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]'s methods?

Zheng Que frowned immediately. Seeing that Mu Xiangu was kneeling on the ground and had no idea that he was abnormal, he immediately looked at the Book of Life and Death and the gavel.

When the abscesses and tumors appeared on his body, the Book of Life and Death and the gavel immediately acted on their own to eliminate the abnormality.

But now that Mu Xiangu has appeared in this dilapidated hall, neither the Book of Life and Death nor the gavel have reacted.

It seems that, apart from him, other underworld officials and ghosts entering this underworld are not protected by the Book of Life and Death or the gavel...

Zheng Zhen pondered carefully, and soon opened his palm, which bore the character "令" (command), and pointed it at Mu Xiangu.

The next moment, the Yin energy roared and transformed into a blackish-gray gale, pouring into Mu Xian Gu's body.

Mu Xiangu's expression suddenly turned extremely painful. The abscess on his back quickly fell off, and as soon as it touched the ground of the dilapidated palace, it turned into an exceptionally dense wisp of yin energy, which was absorbed by the underworld.

Seeing this, Zheng Que felt certain that the Book of Life and Death and the gavel would not actively remove the abnormalities from other ghosts, but as long as he showed the "command" in his hand, it would have the same effect!

This is based on the same principle as enlightening ghosts and improving their cultivation.

As the abscess fell off, Mu Xiangu gradually recovered from the pain, and her Yin energy rapidly increased.

Soon, her cultivation level rose from the first level of the Iron Tree Prison to the second level.

After entering the second level of the Iron Tree Prison, Mu Xiangu's Yin energy increased slightly, but before breaking through to the third level, it gradually stopped. Seeing this, Zheng Que felt a pang of regret.

The "weirdness" of a single [Iron Tree Prison] can only increase one level of Immortal Bone cultivation...

However, in the current situation, any improvement in cultivation level is extremely important!
Mu Xiangu's cultivation level has reached the second level of the Iron Tree Prison, which is already quite good.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que dared not waste any time and immediately said, "That human cultivator doesn't have much time left, quickly deal with that [Nine Nether Relic Treasure]."

"Okay, back off!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xiangu's figure disappeared into the mist.

Zheng Que turned the Book of Life and Death back to the first page, where the names of those who had died from blood refinement continued to appear.

Unlike other ghosts, the "mysterious" is formed from the degeneration of numerous resentful thoughts.

Therefore, when other ghosts fall into the underworld, the Book of Life and Death will only record one name. However, when "Ghostly" is killed, the Book of Life and Death will record a large number of resentful names from his previous life.

Seeing that the number of names was still increasing, Zheng Que frowned.

The Book of Life and Death has not yet recorded all the names of that "weird" creature. Could it be that the Yin energy of that "weird" creature has not yet been fully absorbed by the underworld?
Unfortunately, I don't have time right now...

Otherwise, we can summon the Ghost Bride or Mu Xiangu back to the Underworld and see what happens.

While pondering, Zheng Que turned to the second page of the Book of Life and Death, preparing to upgrade the cultivation of all his other ghost servants. Once again, dense pustules and tumors sprouted on his body, and tiny insect eggs flowed from his eyes.

Zheng Que's expression changed; he didn't have much time left!
※※※

In the present world, on a small hillside in the far suburbs of Taiping County.

Zheng Que's physical body sat cross-legged on the ground, with a soul-summoning banner planted beside him.

Shu Yunying and Ku Lan stood guard on either side, Nian Nu stood behind them, while Gao Yinxia remained bound hand and foot and suspended in mid-air.

Suddenly, large pustules appeared on Zheng Que's neck, and the yin energy around him suddenly intensified, causing his face to turn pale instantly.

Noticing this, the female ghosts nearby were all startled, and Niannu immediately asked, "What's wrong with Lord Zheng Que?"

Ku Lan immediately replied, "Luo Fuyu's methods are still intact. It's not an external attack, but rather this evil... it's a problem with the young master himself."

At the same moment, Shu Yunying examined the pustules on Zheng Que's body, unable to discern anything. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Qing Li's voice coming from the surface of the Soul-Summoning Banner: "It's just a few pustules. Which of you will go up and try to suck them out for this human brat!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Yunying nodded approvingly and said, "That's a good idea."

"However, although this Shu is very useful, I am a noble lady, and since ancient times, the lowly cannot move the noble. I naturally cannot do such a thing."

"Qingli, Kulan, and Niannu."

"You three, go!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Li immediately snorted coldly and said, "Without this human brat activating the Soul-Summoning Banner, this old lady wouldn't be able to get out of the banner. Ku Lan, you come here!"

Kulan turned her head around her neck a few times, and seeing that the other three female ghosts were looking at her, she immediately pointed to Gao Yinxia hanging beside her and said, "The problem of human cultivators can only be solved by human cultivators of the same race."

"Niannu, go possess this evil female cultivator and absorb her essence!"
