Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 393 Foundation Establishment Stage! (Third Update!)
Qingrao Prefecture.

As night fell, the city gates slowly closed, but the city was still brightly lit, bustling with people.

Mu Xiangu, dressed in a yellow blouse and green skirt, still retained Fu Qingge's appearance. Followed by Rouge Sha, who looked like a maid, she returned to the city with an air of nonchalance and walked the streets, seemingly no different from the living people around her.

She had just followed Zheng Que's instructions, tracking Yu Rulan of Luguan, and then had the ghost bride outside the city take action.

As a result, tracking the monk from Deer Temple was not difficult, but finding the ghost bride took a lot of effort.

Now that she's back in the city, she needs to check on Zheng Que's situation first.

While pondering, Mu Xiangu quickened her pace and headed towards Xuanyuanfang.

[Rouge Demon] didn't know what Mu Xiangu was going to do, but still followed closely behind Mu Xiangu.

As soon as she entered Xuanyuanfang, Mu Xiangu stopped and looked up slightly towards the direction of Heming Tower in the distance.

A clear look of confusion suddenly appeared on her face, which was as cold and beautiful as a red plum blossom braving the frost.

Is Zheng Que currently laying the foundation?
Didn't the other party say that Foundation Establishment requires training with that female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect named Gao Yinxia?
Why now...

Ok……

That's not important. What's important is whether or not you should go over there to protect the Dharma.
While pondering, Mu Xiangu quickly shook her head. Zheng Que was currently enjoying himself, so it would be better for her to deal with Gao Yinxia's problem first.

Therefore, Mu Xiangu immediately took the [Rouge Demon] and rushed towards the Flower Path Cave.

A moment later, the two female ghosts stepped down from the carriage that the jade pendant had transformed into and entered the Flower Path Cave.

Upon entering the cave and seeing the gate close behind her, confirming that no one else was there, [Rouge Demon] looked at Mu Xiangu and could no longer contain herself, saying, "You are [Iron Tree Prison]!"

"You infiltrated this great human city, are you planning some kind of massacre?"

Can I participate?

Massacre the city?

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu smiled disdainfully and replied in a low voice, "Only some ignorant and muddle-headed low-level ghosts would be interested in such trivial matters."

"Let alone the lives of the people in this mere city, even the lives of the people in ten cities, or even the entire imperial court combined, are insignificant compared to the mission I am currently undertaking!"

"My current mission concerns the future turmoil and stability of this world!"

Upon hearing this, [Rouge Demon]'s eyes lit up, clearly intrigued. The person in front of her, like her, was an "evil spirit"!
But for some reason, the other party disguised himself as a living person, and not a single human cultivator in the entire Qingrao Prefecture noticed!

Thinking of this, [Rouge Demon] quickly asked, "What kind of mission is it?"

Mu Xiangu coldly replied, "Your current identity, cultivation level, and status are not something you are qualified to know."

"I, the immortal, will now bestow upon you a fortunate opportunity."

At this point, she directly drew a decree from between her eyebrows and pointed it at the [Rouge Demon] in front of her.

The imperial edict transformed into a mysterious light, instantly entering the space between the eyebrows of [Rouge Demon]. [Rouge Demon]'s delicate body trembled, and the entire ghost seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow. She immediately froze, the lines between her eyebrows flashing, as she began to receive the imperial edict.

Her dress was instantly transformed, and the unique aura of the evil creature seemed to have been refined countless times in an instant, revealing a majestic air within its purity.

After a while, a token engraved with the character "役" (yi) quietly fell onto her skirt.

After the imperial decree was completed, [Rouge Demon], with her hair neatly combed and clothes impeccably dressed, looked at Mu Xian Gu again, her eyes filled with shock. She didn't know what this opportunity was, only vaguely sensing that something huge had clearly changed within her, especially the rune that the other party had implanted between her eyebrows, which gave her an incomparably ancient and intimate feeling.

This was something she had never experienced in her entire life.

Mu Xiangu met the gaze of [Rouge Demon], nodded slightly, and said in a calm voice, "You are now appointed to the underworld position of 'Underworld Messenger'."

“There are several underworld officials like you in this city.”

"As for me, I am a soul-collecting messenger above the underworld officials."

"From now on, you shall address me as 'My Lord'!"

Upon hearing this, and feeling the power brought by the Yin Duty, the look of shock on [Rouge Demon]'s face deepened.

A strange thing?

A sinister job?

The opportunity offered by the other party is related to the underworld!

But hasn't the underworld ceased to exist long ago?
Thinking of this, [Rouge Demon] quickly perked up. If it really was the Underworld, then it meant that the Underworld had reappeared in the world!
The one currently recruiting her is the most powerful, top-tier, and oldest ghost force in this world!

What Ghost King? What Imperial Court? What Six Great Sects... they're all just ants!

In a flash, [Rouge Demon] suppressed her turbulent emotions and hurriedly bowed to Mu Xian Gu, saying respectfully, "Yes, sir!"

Mu Xiangu stood with his hands behind his back, admiring [Rouge Demon]'s obsequiousness for a while before taking out a human skin and handing it over: "Put on this human skin first, and you can walk freely in the city as a cultivator, just like me."

"Remember, the identity of the cultivator you are replacing is that of a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, named 'Gao Yinxia'."

"This identity has a Daoist partner named Zheng Que."

"You absolutely must not let Zheng Que discover your identity, as it is related to my plan."

"Once this is exposed, it will affect my grand plan and that lord's arrangements. At that time, it won't be as simple as just being annihilated..."

※※※

Crane Cry Tower, the residence of the tower owner.

In the dimly lit inner room, the flames of the green gauze palace lanterns flickered rapidly, repeatedly pulling and twisting the shadows on the brocade fabric into a messy, swaying mass throughout the room.

At this moment, Zheng Que's aura grew stronger and stronger. His eyes were like torches as he stared at the Fairy Yanluo in front of him. In his dantian, the white mist collapsed into a semi-transparent vortex.

Gradually, Fairy Yanluo discovered that Zheng Que's appearance in her field of vision had indeed become somewhat similar to that of Du Anyong from back then.

She was stunned for a moment, then realized that the person beneath her seemed to be the former Du Anyong!

This is the other party's "rule"!
Fairy Yanluo quickly realized what was happening, but she did not resist this "law" at all. She immediately immersed herself in it, leaned down, and pressed her red lips hard against Zheng Que's mouth, and they began to intertwine passionately.

In that instant, the vortex in Zheng Que's dantian suddenly expanded, and the vast white mist rapidly transformed into a pool of white water.

His entire spiritual power instantly transformed into true essence.

Zheng Que's aura suddenly surged, and for a moment he seemed ethereal and merging with heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Dao Foundation is complete!
