Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 529 Perception. (First Update!)

The gloomy mansion is filled with lanterns bearing the character "囍" (double happiness), their bright red glow stretching out in a continuous line, creating a blood-red splendor.

The maid's room.

The low-hanging curtains swayed violently, and the inside of the tent seemed to be a world of its own. As it turned and spun, Xue Shuangzi frowned, her neck was raised high, and she gasped for breath.

Seeing that Yan Bingyi wouldn't budge, Zheng Que accelerated the operation of the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record].

Soon, besides Xue Shuangzi's panting breaths so close to his ears, he heard that increasingly familiar voice again...

“Stop, stop…”

"I...I have here a technique..."

Magic?

A technique that allows ghosts to cultivate?
Zheng Que immediately stopped using the [Secret Record of Yin-Yang Harmony] and was about to continue transmitting his voice when he suddenly noticed that one of the marriage threads on the bamboo stick above his Dao Foundation trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a flood of information rushed into his mind.

Zheng Que closed his eyes slightly, quickly glanced at it, and found that it seemed to be a kind of magic technique, which should be the magic technique that Yan Bingyi mentioned.

However, perhaps due to the haste, the information sent by the other party was completely devoid of any unnecessary words. Apart from explaining how to cultivate it, there was no description of the effects of the technique, no other related information, and not even a name was given.

In a flash, Zheng Que immediately transmitted his voice in Luo Fuyu's direction: "The other party just passed on a technique to me, saying it's for Xue Shuangzi to cultivate. Can you take a look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he telepathically relayed the information he had just received to Luo Fuyu.

Luo Fuyu did not answer immediately. After a moment, she transmitted her voice and said, "I have never seen this kind of technique before."

"It must have come from Outland."

"I will now calculate the effects of this technique, which will take some time."

"Don't let the ghost servant cultivate for now. After the symptoms subside, let's see if that mark is effective..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que immediately nodded: "Okay!"

As he was speaking, he was about to continue his cultivation when he realized that in the short time he had stopped practicing the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record], Xue Shuangzi's body had returned to normal. The changes in her lower body had disappeared like the receding tide, leaving no trace.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Shuangzi revealed her original ghost form, and the "正" character written on the other party's thigh also disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Zheng Que frowned and instantly realized that Yin Congyi's master had left Xue Shuangzi!
Unfortunately, Yin Congyi's master's cultivation level was extremely high. If he could cultivate for a longer period of time, perhaps his cultivation level could have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately stopped cultivating and sat up to prevent himself from suddenly entering the underworld.

After quickly dressing, he transmitted his voice to Luo Fuyu again: "Xue Shuangzi has recovered, and that mark has disappeared."

After he finished speaking, there was silence on Luo Fuyu's side.

A few breaths later... Squeak!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure in a yellowish-brown dress gracefully walked in.

Zheng Li immediately turned his head to look, only to see that it was not Luo Fuyu who entered, but Mu Xiangu.

Mu Xiangu was still dressed simply and elegantly, her delicate eyebrows and eyes revealing a kind of charm that was both terrifying and gorgeous in the dim light.

She glanced at Zheng Que, and with a casual wave of her hand, the [Soul Eater Ink Weapon] in Zheng Que's hand vanished into thin air and appeared between her fingers.

Mu Xiangu retrieved the [Soul-Eating Ink Weapon], skillfully twirling it in her palm. After carefully sensing it, she immediately looked suspicious. She turned to Zheng Que, who was sitting by the bed, and asked, "What mark did you leave behind?"

Zheng Que immediately replied, "A single character: '正' (zhèng)."

Among the female ghosts around him, Qingli, Kulan, and Niannu were illiterate, making them ghost illiterate. However, Mu Xiangu was completely different; she was very knowledgeable about human writing, paintings, and even related cultural and social customs.

Therefore, he only needs to answer this question as usual, without having to write it down again for the other party to see.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu casually put away the [Soul-Eating Ink Weapon], pondered for a moment, and then walked to the bedside. Looking into the tent, he saw Xue Shuangzi lying on the bed in a mess, panting heavily. At this moment, the [Rouge Demon]'s eyes were unfocused, and her fingers and toes were trembling involuntarily. The yin energy around her body was slightly dissipated, and she had obviously not yet come to her senses.

Observing Xue Shuangzi carefully, Mu Xiangu closed his eyes slightly and began to sense her again.

However, after a moment, she opened her eyes, shook her head slightly, and said calmly, "This immortal cannot sense the mark you left behind."

"This may be a tactic used by the other party to disrupt my senses."

"The ghost bride just told me that your 'law' can suppress the opponent's methods."

"In that case, now, unleash your 'law' once more."

Do we still need to use "law"?
Zheng Que was slightly taken aback, but after glancing at Mu Xiangu's graceful figure, which even her flowing dress couldn't conceal, as well as her beautiful eyebrows and fluffy hair, he immediately nodded happily and replied, "Okay!"

So he stood up, raised his hand, and wrapped his arms around Mu Xiangu's slender waist.

Mu Xiangu's body stiffened instantly, and anger flashed deep in her beautiful eyes. She had instructed Zheng Que to use "Law" on Xue Shuangzi, not on her!
Her cultivation level is now at the [Iron Tree Prison] level, and she holds the Yin position of Soul Reaper. She can be considered a powerful ghost in her own right. How dare Zheng Que be so disrespectful to her!
This is simply unreasonable!
However, despite thinking this, she didn't dare to push Zheng Que away directly.

After all, she had once solemnly assured that the great man in the underworld that she and Zheng Que were deeply in love and mutually attracted...

This place is now within the Ghost Bride's "Ten Miles of Red Evil," and nothing can escape the Ghost Bride's notice, especially since she and the Ghost Bride have always been at odds.

What if the ghost bride discovers that she's lying and goes to the underworld to complain about her?
Mu Xiangu was torn between her inner thoughts and actions, remaining silent and unable to make a move. While she was still racking her brains for a solution, Zheng Que had already unceremoniously taken off his clothes and helped her pull up her skirt.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que activated the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record]...

She immediately let out an uncontrollable gasp.
