Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 452 [Scissors Prison] Eightfold. (First Update!)

Zheng Que frowned and began to carefully recall his experience at the pharmacy.

After he, Xue Shuangzi, and Le Jingxuan entered the pharmacy, he sensed someone in the inner room. Then Yan Dong came out and questioned him. Immediately afterward, Le Jingxuan disappeared...

During this time, neither he nor Xue Shuangzi noticed Le Jingxuan's disappearance!
I wonder if Yan Dong noticed...

wrong!

Yan Dong knows!

Thinking about this, Zheng Que's thoughts suddenly became clear. Yan Dong had suggested that he go out once, then go back into the pharmacy and tell him about the clues inside...

If they guessed correctly, Le Jingxuan disappeared the first time they entered the pharmacy.

The second time they enter the pharmacy, one more person will definitely disappear!

It's either him or Xue Shuangzi.

If it were Xue Shuangzi who disappeared, he would most likely forget all his memories related to Xue Shuangzi, just like before.

Conversely, the same applies to Xue Shuangzi's side.

As for the missing people, where did they go?

Or did he just die?

He doesn't know yet, but it's definitely not going to be anything good!
In a flash, Zheng Que suddenly remembered that when he fought with Yan Dong, the other man had said that he would soon forget the information he had been given...

In retrospect, what the other party said was indeed true.

He might forget about Le Jingxuan who was with him just now, but after a while, or if he triggers some rule within the "strangeness," he will forget all the information Yan Dong just told him!

However, why can't Yan Dong forget those memories?
"This should be related to the clues Yan Dong obtained in that pharmacy."

"When he first exchanged information with me, he was actually confident that I would forget all those memories after a while, which is why he told me that information..."

"There are too few clues right now, so it's hard to determine what the reasons might be."

"But one thing is certain."

“If I want to go into that pharmacy again, I can’t just take Xue Shuangzi with me; I need to bring a few more people with me.”

"That way, even if someone goes missing, we can be sure that Xue Shuangzi and I won't be in immediate danger..."

Thinking this, Zheng Que turned to the second page of the Book of Life and Death, and then read aloud one of the names: "Xue Shuangzi!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cloud of mist rose from the hall and suddenly parted, revealing Xue Shuangzi, dressed in a lake-blue short blouse and a crimson gauze skirt.

His expression was slightly bewildered, as if he was not quite used to this sudden summons.

With a slight shift in her almond-shaped eyes, Xue Shuangzi realized she had arrived in the underworld. She immediately knelt down with a thud, trembling as she said, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Zheng Que did not answer, but instead opened his palm, which bore the character "令" (command), and pointed it at her.

The next moment, the Yin energy around Xue Shuangzi rose steadily, as if a hurricane had risen from the ground. The gray-black smoke wrapped around her layer by layer and poured into her body.

Feeling her cultivation level rise, Xue Shuangzi was overjoyed.

This was the first time she had received such a reward from the underworld. Although she had heard Lord Mu Xian Gu mention it before, only by experiencing it firsthand could she truly appreciate its wonder! In an instant, Xue Shuangzi's aura continued to rise, and her entire body became more vivid and refined.

Zheng Que lowered his eyes and stared at the yin energy above his head. At this moment, the yin energy that was surging in gathered like clouds, filling the hall with a low pressure.

This yin energy came from the many ghosts he killed when he took Xue Shuangzi to occupy resource points and when they experienced the ghost tide.

If it were Qing Li, Shu Yunying, Ku Lan, Nian Nu, and those ghost servants, such a large amount of Yin energy would be enough to elevate them by several minor realms.

However, Xue Shuangzi's cultivation level was already at the seventh level of the [Scissors Prison], and given that she had always cultivated on her own, her foundation was insufficient. This Yin energy, seemingly vast and immense, actually required a significant portion to replenish Xue Shuangzi's foundational energy…

Sure enough, although the Yin energy seemed to pour into Xue Shuangzi's body in a mighty and overwhelming manner, the speed at which her cultivation improved was quite slow.

Of course, for Xue Shuangzi, this speed of cultivation improvement was already incredibly fast, but compared to the speed of improvement of those ghosts who received similar rewards in the past, it was not very impressive.

Time passed slowly, the commotion below gradually subsided, the clouds of yin energy dispersed, and the yin energy flowing into Xue Shuangzi's body became noticeably sparse.

Just as the last wisp of Yin energy entered her body, her cultivation finally reached the eighth level of the [Scissors Prison].

Xue Shuangzi's face showed undisguised joy. Her entire body now looked brand new, and even the dress that was wrapped in a thick yin energy seemed brighter, making her look even more like a pearl. The murderous aura between her brows had not diminished but increased. However, unlike the ferocity and chaos of wild ghosts, this murderous aura at this moment was faintly majestic, making her every move exude an aura of authority.

Amidst the surging yin energy, Xue Shuangzi gracefully kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency..."

However, before she could finish expressing her gratitude, Zheng Que had already ordered, "Step back!"

Although his physical body in reality is protected by the soul-summoning banner, his main soul is not present, so it is still in great danger.

Now that Xue Shuangzi's strength has been fully enhanced, she should be sent back as soon as possible to protect his physical body.

The moment Zheng Que finished speaking, Xue Shuangzi's figure was immediately shrouded in mist and disappeared in an instant.

Black energy gushed from between Zheng Que's brows, and judging by its size, it would take him some time before he could leave the underworld.

While pondering, he turned to the third page of the Book of Life and Death.

The names on it are still the same three as before: [Evil Shadow Play], Luo Fuyu, and Mu Xiangu.

Zheng Que frowned slightly as he looked at the three names.

Just now in reality, he was on edge and didn't have much time to think. Now that he's calmed down, he suddenly realized that the sudden outbreak of ghost tide at Blood Pass was most likely caused by the ghost bride!

The ghost bride had told him before that she would make his immortal test a little more difficult.

Not long after, a ghost tide broke out at Xue Tong Pass!

However, the surge of ghosts that erupted was truly enormous, even affecting the ghosts of the Iron Tree Prison.

The Ghost Bride's current cultivation level is only [Iron Tree Prison]. What exactly did she do at Blood Pass?
After careful consideration, Zheng Que looked at the records of [Evil Shadow Play] again.

The ghost tide at Xue Tong Pass poses no immediate threat to him.

However, this mysterious "strange" place in front of him is a place where he might stumble if he is not careful!

The Shadow Play is a native ghost of Blood Pass, and should have some understanding of the "strange things" in Blood Pass...
