Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 360 Skin Change. (Second Update!)

Zheng Que looked at her and nodded slightly. Although he had used the Spirit Descent Technique on Shu Yunying and had a general understanding of her ghostly skills and Yin arts, he had only used the Spirit Descent Technique in very critical situations and had not had the opportunity to test all of her methods one by one.

Whether it was the battle with Chen Zhentao or the ghost tide in Taiping County, he used the ghost techniques that Shu Yunying often used.

Right now, he can clearly see all of Shu Yunying's methods and their specific effects.

The [Illumination] talent allows Shu Yunying to learn and use the magical techniques of living people.

However, the actual effect when used is somewhat distorted.

The [Little Sky-Supporting Hand] is a Yin-energy ghost hand that Shu Yunying frequently uses. It is powerful and heavy, and with her current cultivation level, she can condense four ghost hands at the same time.

【Netherworld Finger】is a condensed black energy that Shu Yunying shoots out from her fingertips when fighting. Its characteristic is speed, which can break through some weak defensive methods.

[Greed, anger, and delusion] can increase the opponent's murderous intent and resentment, causing enemies to kill each other...

【魖变】, can assimilate one's own people into ghosts.

[Endless Vitality] means that before the Yin energy is completely exhausted, the user will not fall into weakness and will always maintain peak strength. Even if abnormal conditions occur, the user can recover quickly...

After reviewing all of Shu Yunying's methods, Zheng Que was most satisfied with her [Illumination] talent.

Tomorrow I'll go to the city to buy some materials so Shu Yunying can learn to cast weapons...

Fortunately, there is a dedicated weapon-forging room inside the Linghai Cave of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

After making up his mind, Zheng Que then began to enhance Shu Yunying's Yin energy.

Like Qing Li, Shu Yunying's cultivation level has also increased to the fourth level of [Scissors Prison].

Zheng Que did not promote Shu Yunying to a higher rank, and after dismissing her, he summoned Ku Lan.

A moment later, Ku Lan's cultivation level also rose to the fourth level of [Scissors Prison].

Then came Niannu.

Of the four ghost servants, Niannu has the lowest cultivation level, currently only at the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

Zheng Que is now able to control a portion of the Yin energy allocated to the Yin messengers, and this time he deliberately reserved more Yin energy for Nian Nu.

Soon, Niannu's cultivation level also finished its advancement, rising from the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell] to the third level of the [Scissors Hell]...

After enhancing the cultivation levels of all the ghost servants, Zheng Que dismissed Nian Nu as well.

Next, he turned to the first page of the Book of Life and Death and looked at Linghu Yuniang's name.

Linghu Yuniang is currently a remnant soul, not yet a true ghost.

In this world today, remnant souls are easily corrupted by yin energy and quickly degenerate into ghosts.

Although there is yin energy in this underworld, every bit of yin energy here is controlled by the underworld. No soul or remnant soul can absorb the yin energy here.

Thinking this through, Zheng Que carefully considered the matter and then shook his head slightly.

Now, it's very easy for him to enlighten the remnant soul, transform it into a ghost, or improve its cultivation.

However, since Linghu Yuniang was able to obtain an invitation from Xuanyuan Pavilion, just in case, he should first investigate her background before considering whether to convert her into a ghost servant...

So Zheng Que sat on the lame armchair and waited quietly.

After a while, the black aura between his brows began to thin noticeably. After the last wisp of yin energy was absorbed by the Book of Life and Death, the Book of Life and Death condensed into seven edicts, which entered Zheng Que's brow.

In terms of scale, these seven edicts could only be used to appoint underworld officials.

The surrounding scenery began to tremble, and soon Zheng Que returned to reality.

He opened his eyes and looked around. In the spacious hall, the four ghost servants were hanging from the beams, sitting high in the main seat, turning their heads back and forth... everything seemed normal.

Zheng Que glanced around the quiet palace, found nothing unusual, and his gaze immediately fell on Ku Lan.

The cultivation speed of the [Transformation Scripture] is still not fast enough.

It just so happens that Kulan's cultivation has greatly improved...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que did not hesitate and immediately took out the Soul-Summoning Banner, putting Qing Li and Nian Nu into it. Then he opened the Soul-Nourishing Bag and put Shu Yun Ying in as well.

In the vast cave, only Zheng Que and Ku Lan remained for a moment.

Zheng Que immediately said in a serious tone, "I'm a little tired and want to take a nap. You protect me."

Ku Lan was wondering why Zheng Que had put away the other ghost servants, but upon hearing this, she immediately put the question out of her mind and eagerly replied, "Don't worry, young master, go to sleep!"

Zheng Li immediately lay down on the cloud bed, closed his eyes, and said directly, "I'm asleep."

"Hey hey hey hey..."

The next moment, Kulan let out a sinister and triumphant laugh, and then climbed onto the cloud bed...

At the same time, in a cave dwelling of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

This is also a magnificent and imposing palace, but the architecture inside is even more exquisite and refined. It is also said that living water is drawn from somewhere, flowing through the palace and gathering into a stream below, in which lotus flowers are planted. The graceful blooming flowers exude a delicate fragrance, filling the entire palace with vitality.

Beside the stream, on a black lacquered incense table inlaid with mother-of-pearl dragons playing with pearls, sits a pot of jade begonia flowers. The begonia branches droop low, and the dense foliage partially obscures a chaise longue inlaid with bloodstone and carved lotus scrolls.

At this moment, Gao Yinxia was lying on her side on the couch, her eyes slightly closed, her chest rising and falling gently, fast asleep.

A tall figure in a yellow blouse and green skirt stood by the couch, head slightly lowered, staring intently at Gao Yinxia's beautiful face.

The long hairpins inserted into Leyou's updo reflected a cold, gleaming light, mirroring the color of Muxian's eyes and reflecting Gao Yinxia's unguarded body.

Mu Xiangu's gaze swept over the appearance of the Heavenly Artifact Sect disciple in front of her, and she stretched out her cold fingers to gently stroke his delicate face, her eyes full of regret.

What a beautiful human skin, it's a pity it's growing on a human body...

Thinking of this, she withdrew her hand, took out a ruler made of human bone, and began to measure Gao Yinxia's body.

She planned to peel off Gao Yinxia's entire skin while she was sleeping and replace it with a skin of average quality.

Of course, if you switch them directly like that, the other party will definitely notice.

So, she planned to first paint the replacement skin exactly the same as the other person's... that way, after the skin was put on, Gao Yinxia would only feel a little pain and no other problems would be visible!
Anyway, Zheng Que only said that Gao Yinxia couldn't be killed, but he didn't say that she couldn't have her skin swapped...

However, just as Mu Xiangu was patiently measuring the dimensions of various parts of Gao Yinxia's body, Gao Yinxia suddenly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing Mu Xiangu standing beside her bed, Gao Yinxia was immediately taken aback and asked in great confusion, "Senior Sister Fu, what are you doing?"
