Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 560 Rewards. (Second Update!)

Competing for the top spot?

Zheng Li immediately understood Yan Bingyi's meaning.

If he wants to refine his Dao Heart, he must first rely on his own strength to subdue a ghost servant of the [Iron Tree Prison].

Then, in this immortal examination, he won the top spot.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que nodded to himself.

The method for forming the elixir is now clear.

However, his current cultivation level is already at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and he is about to reach the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

There are still nearly half a year left until the end of the Immortal Examination!
The Celestial Examination was won, but the speed was too slow!

This can be kept as a fallback plan; it would be best if I could find another way to refine my Dao heart...

As his thoughts raced, Zheng Que continued cultivating the [Secret Record of Yin-Yang Harmony] while asking, "Since winning the championship can become the 'heart,' what else can also become the 'heart'?"

Yan Bingyi's slightly trembling voice reached his ears: "Also, the Six Sects Grand Competition of this region is fine too."

"However, it would be best to form the Core... After forming the Core, one can refine the Dao Heart that one had when one was in the Nascent Soul stage."

"Huh...huh..."

"Besides that, you can only seek your own true self."

A grand competition among the six sects?

Zheng Que frowned. The Six Sects Grand Competition would end later than the Imperial Examination for Immortals. He might as well wait for the Imperial Examination for Immortals to finish!
Then he asked, "Why is it that only the imperial court's immortal examination and the competition among the six major sects can refine one's Dao heart?"

Yan Bingyi took a few more breaths before saying, "Your cultivation level is too low right now, even if you know... knowing won't help!"

"Moreover, I am not a cultivator of this region, nor do I know the specific arrangements made by the imperial court and the six major sects."

"All I know is that this is related to the imperial court and the 'laws' controlled by the six major sects!"

"It's related to the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]!"

"If you can find a [Nine Netherworld Treasure] that is equivalent to the imperial court's, then you can try to treat your own 'law' as your own 'true nature'!"

[Nine Netherworld Treasures]?
Zheng Que was slightly taken aback. He did indeed have a piece of the [Nine Netherworld Relic], which was a wood shaving from the crippled armchair.

However, that [Nine Netherworld Relic] is definitely not comparable to the [Nine Netherworld Relic] held by the imperial court.

I wonder if my own underworld qualifies as a "Nine Netherworld Treasure"?
Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately decided to find an opportunity to try it out, using his own "rules" as his "original intention," which was very simple.

The most important thing is to subdue a ghost servant of the [Iron Tree Prison].

Without the help of Luo Fuyu, Mu Xiangu, or [Evil Shadow Play], and without using any edicts.

It's best not to use other ghost servants, or even summoning banners.

Also, it would be best to choose a beautiful female ghost as the servant of this [Iron Tree Prison]...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que transmitted his voice again: "Senior's cultivation is profound, you must have mastered many techniques and supernatural powers."

"Would you be so kind as to teach me a few powerful techniques and supernatural abilities?"

"Ideally, it should be techniques and supernatural abilities related to 'ghost control'!"

The words had barely left his lips when Yan Bingyi's extremely angry voice rang in his ears: "I have already told you the method for condensing your Dao Heart!"

“Stop right now…” *Slap!*
Zheng Que slapped Xue Shuangzi's thigh without any politeness. Xue Shuangzi immediately let out a scream that was out of tune, and the corners of her mouth turned up high, with a strange smile on her face.

At the same moment, Yan Bingyi let out almost the same scream, her voice filled with overwhelming rage, shame, and perhaps even a hint of barely perceptible pleasure...

After a long while, Yan Bingyi's voice, choked with breaths, came again: "My...my techniques can only be passed on to my disciples..."

clap clap clap!
Zheng Que didn't waste any words and slapped the other person a few more times.

In an instant, Yan Bingyi's scream changed completely, and even her breathing became trembling.

After another round of rapid breathing, she finally managed to say, haltingly, "Okay, okay..."

"I, I will impart to you... magical arts..."

"But you must guarantee that my disciple Yin Congyi will not find out about this!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que immediately assured him, "Don't worry! I am a righteous cultivator, and I always keep my word. I am extremely discreet and would never speak carelessly about anything!"

He just blurted out any guarantee he could come up with.

As long as the other party is willing to teach me their techniques, I'll agree to whatever the conditions are!
At this moment, Yan Bingyi, whether because she truly believed him or because she had no other choice, immediately dictated several spells to him.

Zheng Li immediately took notes, which slowed down his cultivation of the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record] a bit.

A moment later, he had memorized all the spells and then transmitted his voice with great satisfaction: "Very good!"

"I have accepted the spell."

"Now we'll give the senior a reward..."

※※※

Zheng's Market.

At this moment, the entire market town has been completed. From the outside, rows of houses stand side by side, the roads are clean, and flower beds of varying heights are built along the way, planted with many colorful flowers, as well as some low-level spiritual plants. It looks like a thriving place.

The corpse puppets finished all their work and wandered around the entire market, but showed no intention of approaching the open space in the southeast corner.

On this open space, Mu Xian Gu stood with her hands behind her back, her skirt fluttering in the breeze.

Linghu Yuniang, standing before her, was looking down at her nose, her head bowed, her hands clasped over her lower abdomen, displaying an exceptionally submissive posture.

Just now, Zheng Que's ghost servants had a conflict here.

Mu Xiangu arrived just in time and threw Qingli and Niannu out.

Shu Yunying was also left behind in another corner of the market.

Of course, her purpose in doing this was not to uphold justice, but because those female ghosts had all complained about her to that great man in the underworld.

Now that she has seized the opportunity to strike, of course I must rush over to take revenge immediately!
Thinking of this, Mu Xiangu's mood immediately improved. She looked at the timid Linghu Yuniang in front of her and asked calmly, "Next time you see that person, you know what to say, right?"

Linghu Yuniang nodded vigorously, "Understood, understood!"

"Lord Mu Xiangu's intervention this time was not for personal revenge, but to uphold justice for this young lady, for the order and peace of Zheng's Market, for Fellow Daoist Zheng's path of cultivation, and to ensure that the great plan of that person can proceed smoothly without being hindered..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu nodded with great satisfaction. Just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the brothel owner's mansion.

strange!
Zheng Que just sent her a telepathic message, asking to borrow her [Food Soul Ink Weapon]...

What use would a cultivator have for her [Soul-Eating Ink Weapon]?
