Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 55: Species Talent. (Third update!)

Soul-nourishing bag?
Zheng Que's heart moved. The life span of this "Umbrella Girl" was one hundred and seventy-nine years, which meant that she had been an "evil spirit" for one hundred and seventy-nine years. She knew a lot.

So, he then asked, "If I put the ghost servant into this soul-raising bag, what effect will it have on the ghost servant?"

"How many ghost servants can such a soul-raising bag hold at most?"

He can also use the [Ghost Controlling Technique] to subdue his ghost servant, but the [Ghost Controlling Technique] will consume his spiritual power. If he keeps the ghost servant in his palm, his spiritual power will continue to be consumed.

If this soul-nourishing bag can accommodate a ghost servant without causing any negative impact on the ghost servant, then it is an artifact that is very suitable for him.

Especially after he used the [Spirit Descent Technique], the ghost servant's weak period could be spent in this soul-nourishing bag.

At this time, Ku Lan immediately replied softly: "Sir, the soul-nourishing bag has no effect on the ghost servant, but it needs to be replenished with Yin Qi regularly."

"If the Yin energy in the soul-raising bag is exhausted, the ghost servant will suffocate to death if he stays inside for a long time, and his soul will eventually be scattered."

"An ordinary soul-raising bag can probably hold ten ghost servants."

Hearing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly, which means that the soul-nourishing bag in his hand can hold Qingli and Ku Lan together.

However, these two ghost servants seem to be at odds with each other. If they are placed in the same soul-nourishing bag, they will definitely fight. It is better to separate them next.

With this in mind, Zheng Que first put away the soul-raising bag and then asked, "How many methods do you have mastered now?"

Ku Lan said seriously: "I now have mastered one species talent, three ghost skills, and four Yin skills."

"Species' innate talent is [the duality of object and self]."

"Three ghost skills, namely [Symmetry], [Split], and [Blood Cry]."

"The four Yin arts are [Eating Yin], [Red Dress], [Evil Power], and [Strange Fire]..."

Next, she described her methods in detail.

[The two aspects of objects and self] refer to the two aspects of Ku Lan: the "human aspect" and the "umbrella aspect".

The "human form" can disappear under any umbrella, or it can be attached to any umbrella, and the umbrella it is attached to is its "umbrella form".

Just now, Ku Lan used the talent of [The Two Phases of Object and Self] to disappear directly from under the umbrella, leaving Qingli's rope empty.

[Symmetry] allows the target's head to rotate synchronously with yours.

[Split] is to create a number of split bodies that are exactly the same as Ku Lan. When fighting with a strong enemy, as long as one split body survives, Ku Lan can survive.

[Blood Cry] If used in the "human form", it will make a crying sound to disturb the opponent's soul; if used in the "umbrella form", blood will ooze out of the umbrella surface to disrupt the opponent's attack.

Ku Lan initially escaped from the bronze tripod, but after being caught by Qingli, he used [Blood Cry] to break free from Qingli's hands.

Similarly, Zheng Que's failure to use the [Ghost Controlling Technique] on him just now was also due to the opponent's [Blood Cry] ghost skill.

[Eat Yin] can quickly restore one's status by consuming Yin Qi. [Red Outfit] allows Ku Lan to sacrifice a Yin technique. Both his "Human Form" and "Umbrella Form" wear red outfits, temporarily boosting his overall strength. Ku Lan cannot regain control of the sacrificed Yin technique.

[Evil Power] greatly increases strength. Ku Lan was able to twist Qing Li's neck backwards just now because he used [Evil Power]...

【Strange Fire】is the fire from the bronze cauldron that Ku Lan swallowed to refine his own elixir, and transformed it into his own power.

After hearing all the methods mastered by Ku Lan, Zheng Que was still very surprised even though he had expected it. [Red Dress] could sacrifice other Yin techniques, which means that this [Umbrella Girl] may have mastered more Yin techniques than she does now!

Is this the "evil spirit" that once approached the [Scissor Prison]?
Thinking of this, he quickly regained his composure and then asked, "What's the difference between species talents, ghost skills, and Yin skills?"

The things that his master taught him were too few, and they were all passed down from the mayor's ancestors. Now that Ku Lan knew so much, of course he had to ask him carefully.

The secret room was filled with gloomy energy, like layers of veil hanging down.

Hearing this question, Ku Lan looked at Zheng Que in surprise, but quickly replied, "Species talent refers to the power that ghosts of a certain species are born with."

As she spoke, she pointed at Qingli, who was now hanging on the door frame again, and said softly, "Sister Qingli's species talent is [Hanging]."

"Other ghosts, such as water ghosts, have the [Water Element] as their species' innate talent."

"Starving ghost, the species' innate talent is [Hunger]."

"Ghost skills are acquired through comprehension when we reach a new realm. If our comprehension is not good enough, we may reach the ninth level of the Tongue-Pulling Prison and still not have a single ghost skill."

"Yin arts can be acquired through learning. I have a very powerful friend who taught me many Yin arts."

A very good friend?
Anyone who can be called a friend by Ku Lan must be a monster that does all kinds of evil!

I wonder if Ku Lan can introduce this good friend to be his ghost servant... and turn over a new leaf?
After thinking about it, Zheng Que nodded. There was no rush for this matter now. The main reason was that Ku Lan's realm had dropped too much. If he let the other party go to find his former friend, what if that friend saw that Ku Lan was too weak and killed him directly?
So, he continued, "Your [Strange Fire] was obtained by devouring the fire of the elixir. So, can it be used to refine the elixir?"

If Ku Lan's [Strange Fire] could be used to make pills, then he wouldn't have to research alchemy himself. He could just give Ku Lan all the alchemy methods in the jade slips and the alchemy experience in the notebook and let him learn!

After all, if the other party can learn so many Yin techniques, why can't he learn alchemy?
At that time, Qingli would go out to kill ghosts and record their names in the [Book of Life and Death]; Kulan would make elixirs for him at home; and then he would ask Kulan to call that good friend over to help him draw talismans and cast weapons...

This is perfect!
At this time, Ku Lan shook her head slightly and said, "Sir, I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if I can make the elixir."

Zheng Que came to his senses and realized that he had no medicinal herbs at the moment, so he asked Ku Lan to try.

After thinking it over carefully, he felt that he had no other questions to ask, so he immediately said, "I understand. Now I want to practice two techniques."

"Qingli, you and Kulan will protect me together."

Ku Lan immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, sir."

Qingli snorted coldly, turned around in the door frame and stared at Zheng Que.

Zheng Que did not waste any more time and immediately began to practice the [Pure Yang Technique] according to the contents of the jade slip.
