Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 604 Important Mission. (First Update!)

Soon, Zheng Que brought Xue Shuangzi back to the cultivation room.

In the spacious room, he walked quickly a few steps, went straight to the head seat and sat down, and then asked, "What happened in the market just now?"

"Why would rogue cultivators come to attack my market?"

"Also, who are Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu's opponents?"

He needed to first determine whether the market town was safe at the moment.
If a problem arises that even Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu can't handle, he's not prepared to stay here and fight to the death; it would be best to escape as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Xue Shuangzi quickly replied, "Nothing happened."

"Those rogue cultivators were originally meant to be dealt with by Lord Mu Xiangu."

"However, those rogue cultivators are all ugly, and their skin has many flaws, so Lord Mu Xiangu has no interest in them."

"In addition, Qingli wanted to compete for credit at the time, but Lord Muxiangu was magnanimous and gave those rogue cultivators to us."

"As for that [ghost bride]..."

"It seems there are two Core Formation stage cultivators on the Ghost Bride's side. I don't know the specifics, but anyway, nothing's wrong."

Two Core Formation cultivators?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que frowned slightly. If they were just two Core Formation cultivators, Luo Fuyu should be able to deal with them in a short time.

After all, just now, Qing Li and her five female ghosts joined forces to deal with two rogue cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage.

However, the battle on Luofuyu's side is not over yet, which means that the two Core Formation cultivators there are not rogue cultivators, but most likely cultivators from the imperial court!
In addition, at least one of those two Core Formation cultivators is at the mid-stage of Core Formation!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately asked, "What about Mu Xian Gu?"

"What are the cultivation levels of Mu Xiangu's current opponents? How many are there in total?"

Xue Shuangzi replied without hesitation, "Lord Mu Xiangu's matter has already been finished. He is just processing the materials now."

Processing materials?

Zheng Que was stunned. Mu Xiangu had already finished her battle and wasn't going to help in other places?

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he realized the problem.

Although Mu Xiangu's relationship with Luo Fuyu was not harmonious, she was not without a sense of the bigger picture. The fact that she did not go to other places to help indicated that Luo Fuyu's side had the upper hand.

Even in the battle between Qingli and the other five female ghosts, the ones who were truly in trouble were actually the two rogue cultivators who claimed to be from Fengzhou who had reached the Core Formation stage...

After some thought, Zheng Que finally felt relieved and then said in a serious tone, "Xue Shuangzi, I have a very important task that I need your help with."

"Now, first activate [Soul Consciousness]."

"Don't worry about the backlash from those three incense sticks, I will use 'Law' to help you suppress it."

Activate the [Soul Consciousness]?
Xue Shuangzi immediately realized that this was another great opportunity to divine the future immortal.

However, the last time they teamed up with Kulan, that [Umbrella Woman] actually betrayed them!

This time, we can't bring that withered orchid over again. We can send a telepathic message to Lord Mu Xiangu later and ask him to come and share this opportunity with her.

After all, Lord Mu Xian Gu would never betray him...

Without hesitation, Xue Shuangzi replied, "Okay, okay!" As soon as she finished speaking, she eagerly activated [Soul Consciousness].

The next moment, Xue Shuangzi was enveloped in a strong incense aroma. In the blink of an eye, the incense smoke rose and swirled, blurring her features into a hazy mist.

As the incense burned, she remained frozen in place, like a statue, completely still.

Zheng Li immediately stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and began to circulate the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record]...

※※※

Blood mist filled the air. At the foot of the cliff, Yin Congyi stood with a solemn expression. Before him lay the heavily injured Core Formation female cultivator.

At this moment, the Yin energy around the Core Formation female cultivator had been mostly cleared away. As the Yin energy was drawn out, the Core Formation stage magic power circulated spontaneously, and her originally weak aura began to stabilize. However, the female cultivator's long eyelashes were lowered, her teeth were clenched, and her face was pale; she was still unconscious.

After observing the female cultivator's condition and confirming that her injuries had largely stabilized, Yin Congyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The method taught by my master is truly miraculous; it's just right to heal the injuries on this Core Formation female cultivator's body!
In a flash, Yin Congyi couldn't help but ask, "Master, why is Zheng Que's [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand] so powerful?"

"Is that a technique from one of the six major sects?"

"When I saw Zheng Que earlier, he even used the Xuanyuan Pavilion's [Heavenly Wheel Profound Fire Technique]?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingyi hesitated for a moment before transmitting her voice, saying, "【The Soul-Binding Ghost Hand】is a technique that involves forming a bond with a ghost servant, allowing the user to receive the ghost servant's power when striking.

"Among the techniques of the Foundation Establishment stage, the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand] is not actually considered top-tier, but Zheng Que's ghost servant is too strong, far surpassing other ghosts of the same realm."

"Moreover, he had more than one of those ghost servants."

"Only when Zheng Que uses his power can he have such might."

At this point, Yan Bingyi abruptly stopped speaking, showing no intention of continuing her explanation.

She didn't tell Yin Congyi that Zheng Que's "Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand" technique was actually taught to her by her...

Yin Congyi did not cultivate the art of "ghost control," and she could not use any of the five techniques she gave Zheng Que.

In addition, she specifically taught Yin Congyi how to counter those five magical techniques.

However, Yin Congyi is not yet a true Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation cultivator, and without the blessing of "Law," he cannot yet exert a restraining effect.

After listening attentively to his master's explanation, Yin Congyi nodded slightly.

Not only was his master highly skilled, but he was also very knowledgeable. It was not surprising to him that he knew and understood the technique of "Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand".

The master's meaning is very clear: in the battle just now, the one who was stronger was not the [United Hearts Ghost Hand], but Zheng Que's ghost servant!
If we were to fight Zheng Que again, we would not only have to guard against his "Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand," but also be wary of his ghost servants...

Thinking of this, Yin Congyi immediately said, "Master, I will not go looking for Zheng Que again before I achieve a true Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation."

"However, Zheng Que set a trap and spread rumors, intending to wipe out all the candidates in this immortal examination!"

"Such unscrupulous actions to achieve one's goals will shake the foundation of our dynasty and also contradict the purpose of the imperial court in holding the immortal examination and selecting talents!"

"Even if the disciple doesn't confront him, he must still expose his conspiracy!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingyi's slightly approving voice immediately reached his ears: "A pure heart and noble character, truly worthy of being the successor I have chosen! My disciple, just follow your heart... ah..."
