Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 525 Cultivators from Outer Regions. (First Update!)

The bronze lamp that Zheng Que took out at this moment was a servant kneeling on the ground, with his hands raised above his head, holding a gold plate. The gold plate was inlaid with many small gemstones, and the lamp wick was on it. It looked very gorgeous.

It was the magical artifact that Xue Shuangzi had taken from Yin Congyi.

He had tried before; the bronze lamp did not recognize a master, but it required a corresponding spell to activate.

The reason I'm taking this lamp out now is to see if Luo Fuyu can help me figure out how to activate this bronze lamp.
At this moment, Luo Fuyu glanced at the bronze lamp and suddenly took out a candle as thick as a child's arm, with a bright color. The candle was covered with gold leaf and outlined with patterns of twin lotus flowers and continuous gourds, which looked extremely exquisite—this was a wedding candle.

The wedding candle flickered slightly, spontaneously combusting without a flame, emitting a cold, dim light. The halo of light was deep and lifeless, devoid of any joy or vitality, forming a stark contrast with the bright red candle body.

Luo Fuyu held the wedding candle close to the wick of the bronze lamp.

Soon, the wick of the bronze lamp was lit, and a cluster of warm green flames rose up.

But if the wedding candles were moved slightly away, the cluster of green flames would immediately go out.

Seeing this, Luo Fuyu immediately put away the wedding candles and said calmly, "This magical artifact comes from another region."

"To use it properly, we need to find the cultivator from another region who crafted this item."

"It is best not to refine such items of unknown origin, which are not from this region, into your own artifacts."

From outer realms?

Yin Congyi is a descendant of the Duke of Dingguo's family in the imperial court, with a clean background, and could not possibly be from a foreign land.

However, Yin Congyi's master, Yan Bingyi, is most likely a cultivator from another region!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que frowned slightly. Luo Fuyu didn't know how to activate this bronze lamp either, so he probably couldn't use this artifact anymore.

We can't possibly go back to Yin Congyi's master...

After a few thoughts, Zheng Que asked, "What are the differences between the outer realm and this realm?"

Luo Fuyu calmly replied, "I don't know much either, after all, I have never been to the outer regions."

"All I know is that after the celestial upheaval, yin energy filled the universe, and ghosts appeared one after another. Although there seem to be quite a few ghosts in this region, making life difficult for mortals, there are still cities and towns that exist, so there is still room for them to breathe."

"The six major sects and the imperial court each manage their own affairs, but the human race can still operate openly and legitimately, and is the dominant force in this region."

"But in many outer realms, they have been completely turned into ghost lands."

"The rulers of those places are all high-level ghosts, and human cultivators who are stranded there face extremely difficult circumstances..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que was taken aback.

The realm they inhabited was teeming with ghosts, strange creatures, and evil spirits... It felt almost like hell, and was actually quite safe compared to other realms.
Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately opened the Soul Nourishing Bag and summoned Xue Shuangzi out of it.

Xue Shuangzi transformed into a streak of blood-red light, landing and revealing her figure. She quickly looked around, and when her gaze fell upon Luo Fuyu, her expression immediately turned solemn.

With that powerful figure as her backer, although she is still a [Scissors Prison], she is not afraid of ordinary [Iron Tree Prison] ghosts at all.

However, the ghost bride in front of him, just like Lord Mu Xian Gu, simply sat there quietly, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression, as deep and imposing as a mountain, rushing towards him.

That's a higher underworld position than hers!
Just as Xue Shuangzi was filled with surprise and doubt, Zheng Que pointed at her and said to Luo Fuyu, "This is Xue Shuangzi, the newly arrived underworld official."

"However, she ate something she shouldn't have before, and now she can't vomit it up."

"Could you take a look and see if you can fix this?"

Luo Fuyu glanced at Xue Shuangzi and asked directly, "What did you eat?"

"What are the symptoms?" Zheng Que replied, "There are three unburnt incense sticks that were originally stuck in a black pottery incense burner."

"That black pottery incense burner may also be an artifact from another region."

"As for the symptoms..."

"Under normal circumstances, nothing will happen."

"But when it flares up, I freeze on the spot, unable to move at all, and my body undergoes changes, somewhat like being possessed, but also different..."

“My ‘law’ can suppress these symptoms.”

Luo Fuyu gazed at Xue Shuangzi through the veil, and after a long while, she slowly said, "I can't see anything about the specifics right now."

"It would be best to wait until the symptoms appear before I can observe them carefully."

“Even if it’s an external method and we don’t know the details, your ‘law’ can suppress it, so it’s definitely not a big problem.”

Hearing the ghost bride's confident tone, Zheng Que felt reassured.

If Luo Fuyu could solve Xue Shuangzi's problems, that would be ideal.

Although his "law" could suppress Xue Shuangzi's abnormalities, it was still not foolproof. What if Xue Shuangzi suddenly had a problem during a battle? He couldn't very well use his "law" in public on the battlefield...

Just as Zheng Que was pondering, Luo Fuyu spoke again. This time, her tone was exceptionally gentle: "Xue Shuangzi? Your background is [Rouge Demon], which is quite a connection with me. Moreover, you are quite good-looking and have some manners. Would you like to come and be my dowry maid?"

"I possess a yin artifact here, imbued with three yin techniques..."

"By the way, don't worry, being a ghost messenger and being my dowry maid don't conflict at all."

"Actually, I have also rendered some service to that lord..."

Seeing Luo Fuyu poaching his girlfriend right in front of him, Zheng Que's face darkened. Xue Shuangzi, standing beside him, retorted bluntly, "No! This humble servant is serving Lord Mu Xiangu..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xue Shuangzi was suddenly engulfed in flames as if she had been set ablaze. The flames appeared rapidly and on a massive scale, completely enveloping her in the blink of an eye, leaving her frozen in place, only able to watch helplessly as the smoke billowed and obscured her.

Xue Shuangzi's expression changed drastically, and she said in a voice full of fear, "I can't move!"

Zheng Li immediately realized what was happening and looked at Luo Fuyu: "Xue Shuangzi's symptoms have flared up!"

"Make your move immediately!"

Luo Fuyu did not hesitate. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed the [Ten Miles of Crimson Fiend].

The ghostly wedding procession outside the sedan chair transformed into a gloomy, magnificent, and brightly decorated mansion, while the red sedan chair rapidly expanded into an elegantly furnished boudoir.

Luo Fuyu extended a finger and touched Xue Shuangzi's forehead.

Xue Shuangzi's breathing was extremely unstable at this moment, like a candle flame being blown about by a strong wind. Her entire body, starting from her legs, was gradually changing, as if she was about to transform into another woman.

Luo Fuyu's instruction had no effect whatsoever.

She was immediately surprised and said to Zheng Que, "This method is a bit strange."

"Then, show me your 'law'."
