Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 549 Unknown Spells. (First Update!)

As he spoke, Zheng Que transmitted the entire contents of the spell to Xue Shuangzi using telepathy.

This technique was the one that Yin Congyi's master, Yan Bingyi, had taught him last time.

According to the other party, as long as Xue Shuangzi cultivates this technique, the side effects of swallowing those three black incense sticks will not occur again.

To prevent any problems with the technique, he specifically asked Luo Fuyu to check it for him after he obtained it.

Of course, Luo Fuyu did not find any problems with the spell.

Therefore, now that there is free time, let Xue Shuangzi practice this technique first and see how effective it is.
At this moment, Xue Shuangzi quickly sorted through the spell content transmitted by Zheng Que, feeling slightly puzzled.

What Zheng Que gave her was clearly a human-based magic technique.

Under normal circumstances, ghosts cannot cultivate...

Seeing that Lady Mu Xiangu had no objections, she immediately replied, "Understood."

"I will begin my cultivation now."

As she spoke, she sat down on the ground, closed her eyes slightly, and began her cultivation on the spot.

Zheng Que immediately straightened up, staring intently at Xue Shuangzi.

Although Luo Fuyu said there was nothing wrong with this technique, he still had to be careful.

If anything unexpected happens during Xue Shuangzi's subsequent cultivation process, she must quickly use her "Law"...

Of course, if the accident happens too quickly and there's no time to use "Law," with Mu Xiangu nearby, he can have Mu Xiangu cast [Soul Binding] to immediately drag Xue Shuangzi into the underworld...

While Zheng Que was carefully calculating in his mind, Xue Shuangzi's aura began to change as the magic was activated.

A wisp of smoke rose from above her head and shot straight up to the roof beam.

Thousand-faced Peak.

foot of the mountain.

Yin Congyi stood alone, his robes fluttering in the wind. Beside him lay numerous [Scissors Prison] ghosts lying dead in disarray. These ghosts were motionless at the moment, their bodies rapidly dissipating into the Yin energy and merging into the surrounding blood mist.

The brief gathering of yin energy draped the place in a dark gray veil, casting a gloomy shadow over Yin Congyi's face.

Looking at these ghosts that had once posed a considerable threat to him, but were now so easily defeated in his hands, Yin Congyi glanced around and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

This is the power of a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator!

His current cultivation level is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but he is basically invincible among those in the same realm.

Even the most powerful ghosts in the [Scissors Prison] are no match for him!

He could even sense that once his cultivation level broke through to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, he would be able to encounter even the ghosts of the [Iron Tree Prison].

And this is all despite his incomplete Heavenly Dao Foundation!
Whizzing……

Just as Yin Congyi was pondering, three ghostly figures suddenly emerged from the blood mist and appeared in front of him.

The three figures are as follows: the one in the center is tall and white-haired, wearing a vermilion robe with a leather belt around his waist, and holding a wooden staff taller than himself; the one on the left is a neatly dressed middle-aged woman with a green blouse and white skirt and a coiled bun; the one on the right looks like a young man with long, fiery red hair, wearing soft armor and a sinister expression.

All three possessed the aura of the Core Formation stage. When they stood side by side, the pressure of their Core Formation stage aura naturally dissipated, making the Yin energy in the area seem to dissipate even faster.

Yin Congyi stared at the newcomer, slightly taken aback. Before he could speak, the white-haired old man in the center bowed and said in a deep voice, "Greetings, Young Master!"

"I've been searching for so long, and I've finally found you."

As he spoke, he looked intently at Yin Congyi, a look of joy on his face. "Congratulations, Young Master, on achieving the Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation. From now on, your path to enlightenment will be broad and full of promise!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Congyi gradually came to his senses and immediately frowned, asking, "What happened?"

"This is the imperial examination!" "You are all retainers of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. If you were to enter Xue Tong Pass without permission and someone saw you, wouldn't the imperial court misunderstand that I cheated?"

"Leave quickly!"

"Don't cause me any trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the three Core Formation cultivators remained motionless, showing no intention of avoiding suspicion. The white-haired Core Formation cultivator shook his head slightly and patiently explained, "Young Master, you may not know, but due to the recent upheaval at Blood Pass, the area is now isolated from both inside and outside."

"The examiners have been forced to withdraw from outside Xue Tong Pass due to the strange occurrence."

"Even the chief examiner, Vice Minister Ning, is currently unable to perceive the scene within the blood mist."

"We have been ordered to come here specifically to lend a helping hand to the young master!"

"Moreover, there are already quite a few Core Formation stage cultivators who have infiltrated Blood Pass under the guise of rogue cultivators."

"Among them are offerings from other candidates' families, or from their teachers and elders."

“We know that the young master is exceptionally talented and has outstanding strength. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be ranked among the top in the Heavenly Ranking.”

"But there are too many opportunists now, and there are many Core Formation cultivators gathered here. Young Master is still young and has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage. If he were to face these people, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage for no reason..."

Before the three family retainers could finish speaking, Yin Congyi interrupted them, saying, "Alright, no need for further explanation. I only have one question to ask."

"Have Zhu Shifen of the Dongchuan Marquis's Mansion and Mu Weifu of the Ministry of Justice's family established the Heavenly Dao Foundation yet?"

The three Core Formation cultivators were taken aback upon hearing this. They exchanged glances, and the woman in the green blouse and white skirt shook her head, saying, "Young Master, we do not know."

“On my way here, I neither saw the two of them nor heard anything about their recent situation.”

Yin Congyi listened and shook his head inwardly.

If Zhu Shifen and Mu Weifu have also established Heavenly Rank Dao Foundations, then he will have to be careful of all three of them during this Immortal Examination.

But now that there's no news, it's very likely that the two haven't succeeded yet.

This means that his only real opponent right now is Zheng Que!

Thinking of this, Yin Congyi calmly replied, "I understand."

"The three of you, leave Xue Tong Pass immediately."

"This is my immortal test. I will ascend to the top of the Heavenly Ranking on my own, without the support of my family!"

"If you insist on not leaving, you will be my enemy!"

As he spoke, his aura surged, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at the three Core Formation cultivators.

Seeing that Yin Congyi seemed to be really about to make a move, the three Core Formation cultivators immediately frowned.

The threat of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator, is naturally not a concern for the three Core Formation cultivators. The problem is, this is their young master, the most valued junior of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

If one offends Yin Congyi, being a retainer will not have an easy time in the future...

After some hesitation, the white-haired man who had reached the Core Formation stage finally took out a communication jade talisman and handed it to Yin Congyi, saying, "We can leave, but we should not approach the place where the young master is without permission."

"But you must accept this communication jade talisman, young master."

"If you encounter any danger, please do not hesitate to activate this talisman immediately. We will arrive as soon as possible."

"Please remember, young master, only living geniuses are truly valuable geniuses."

"Young Master, you bear the high expectations of the Duke of Dingguo, so you should prioritize your own safety."

Yin Congyi did not refuse, and casually took the jade talisman. He then stared coldly at the three people until they turned and left. Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze, snorted coldly, and crushed the jade talisman in one go.

"Excellent! Disciple, maintain this Dao heart, and you will have more than just the opportunity to reach the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment stage at Blood Pass!"
