Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 94 has dozens more. (Third update!)

Red Rock Beach.

Under the skylight, the water looked like blood.

Jia Bin and Jia Miaoniang's chests were heaving violently, and their bodies were covered in blood, but they had no time to clean up. They confirmed again and again that the "evil spirit" of the seventh level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison] did not continue to chase them, and then they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around at the empty surroundings, Jia Miaoniang snorted coldly and said with a half-smile, "Those independent cultivators are truly insatiable."

"They don't think that this Shu Family Castle only has this one ghost at the seventh level of the Tongue-Pulling Prison?"

Jia Bin shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Of course not everyone is so stupid, but people die for money and birds die for food."

"As long as the opportunity is great enough, even if these independent cultivators know there's something fishy going on, they'll still take the risk with a sliver of hope."

"Weren't you and I like this before?"

"The question now is, where exactly is that banner hidden in Shu Family Castle?"

Hearing this, Jia Miaoniang frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then slowly said, "That banner can control ghosts, so there must be a lot of ghosts gathered around it."

"So, as long as someone finds the location of that flag, they will definitely come back to you and me for help."

"Then we won't have to take the risk of going in, and we can still successfully seize the magic weapon!"

Jia Bin nodded slightly. If the plan went well, it would indeed be the case.

But if all the cultivators who entered the Shu Family Castle were useless, and died without even figuring out where the banner was, then the two siblings would have no choice but to take another risk and follow them into the Shu Family Castle...

Thinking of this, Jia Bin immediately said, "There were two wandering cultivators just now, it was a bit strange."

"One is the one wearing a bamboo hat. He's not afraid of me at all, and he's concealed his aura with the [Breath Suppression Talisman]. His cultivation might be as high as mine."

"The other one is the cultivator who hasn't summoned his ghost servant yet. He was equally indifferent to my murderous glance just now. Moreover, he also used the [Breath-Suppressing Talisman]..."

"You found that cultivator. Do you know the details of his cultivation?"

The monk who has never summoned his ghost servant?

Jia Miao Niang thought for a moment and said, "That cultivator was recruited from the Fulai Inn. He's said to be at the fourth level of Qi training. He approached us as soon as he heard of our Taishan Jia family's reputation, without even asking about the mission. Such a sycophant is nothing to be feared."

Hearing this, Jia Bin finally felt relieved and said, "That 'evil spirit' has already gone back. Let's go guard the gate of Shujiabao now..."

※※※

Shujiabao, the corridor leading to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall seemed to be built on a high place. The corridor went up all the way. The stone steps carved out of the mountain were very slippery, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from the mountain walls on both sides from time to time.

Ji Mingjia, dressed in black, was walking cautiously along the corridor with seven companions who were at the fourth level of Qi training, as well as many ghost servants and corpse puppets.

As he made hand gestures, two sturdy ghost servants wearing soft armor held shields and walked in front of the team to lead the way, while a tall and thin ghost servant followed closely beside him, on guard.

There was a hidden light in Ji Mingjia's eyes, and his gaze was as sharp as a torch as he kept observing his surroundings.

At this moment, a bone-chilling cold wind suddenly blew from the front.

The cold wind was not strong, but it was icy and biting, as if it was going to corrode into the bones.

The monk who was blown by the wind immediately felt cold all over and his hair stood on end.

Before they could figure out the situation, the ghost servants who had been following them closely to protect them suddenly turned around, bursting out with murderous aura, and locked their murderous intent on their master.

next moment……

puff puff puff...

These ghost servants suddenly attacked and killed their master without any warning.

The monks who were originally on guard against the surroundings were caught off guard and had no time to react.

The middle-aged monk in gorgeous clothes and short beard who had asked questions about the Jia brothers and sisters had his neck bitten off by his own ghost servant. Blood splattered like rain, and his headless body slowly fell to the ground.

At the same time, a skinny young monk with a dark complexion behind him opened his mouth wide, blood gushing out of it, but he could not make a sound. A pitch-black ghost claw suddenly pierced through his chest. The corridor was instantly in chaos!

Ji Mingjia, who was walking at the front of the team, was besieged by the three ghost servants he had released. Even though he was at the fifth level of Qi training, he could only hold out for a moment before being attacked from both sides by two heavy shields and beaten into a pool of minced meat on the spot.

Almost in an instant, this team of eight monks was wiped out!
The remaining ghost servants began to eat the fresh flesh and blood on the spot.

Click... click... click...

The chewing sound echoed in the corridor for a long time.

※※※

Shujiabao.

The corridor leading to the ghost fighting arena.

Ying Yi walked with his sleeves fluttering. There were five cultivators at the fourth level of Qi training in front and behind him, and two ghost servants on the left and right, surrounding him completely and protecting him from wind and rain.

The negative energy gathered by the ghost servants and corpse puppets caused the temperature in the corridor to drop sharply.

The group moved forward cautiously, and soon they reached the end of the corridor.

Ying Yi specially dispatched a ghost servant to step out of the corridor first, took a walk outside, and confirmed that everything was fine. Then he signaled the two cultivators at the fourth level of Qi training in front of the team to go out first.

He acted so cautiously that only a moment later did he see the ghost fighting arena in Shujiabao with his own eyes.

The exit of the corridor is located in a group of seats. Below the seats is a lotus-shaped depression. The ground and walls are covered with runes outlined in cinnabar. Occasionally, a faint light flashes in the patterns, as if the restrictions still exist.

Looking down from the seat, the lotus-shaped depression was filled with a pitch-black mass, condensed with a strong yin energy, like settled black water, quietly covering the entire ground.

Ying Yi frowned slightly and looked around. It was clear at a glance that there seemed to be nothing here.

Just as he was thinking about it, a colorful-clothed female cultivator in the team suddenly cried out in surprise: "What is that?!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction she pointed, only to see a silhouette appear in the middle of the seats opposite.

She was a young girl wearing a dull black dress embroidered with silver threads. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and there was a hint of coldness in her hair, sharp and bright. Yin energy was rising from her body, like a rolling black cloud, misting her eyebrows and eyes. Only a pair of eyes full of resentment and violence could be seen, piercing through the confusion and staring at them intently.

Ying Yi's pupils suddenly dilated. His detection skills could not reveal the realm of this ghost at all!
Without paying attention to the panic of his companions, he turned around and wanted to escape. However, when he turned around, he found that there was a thick mountain wall behind him, and the way he came was gone!

Shujiabao.

Underground mine.

When you walk out of the corridor, you will see that this is a transformed natural cave. The top of the cave is covered with inverted stalactites, and water drips from it from time to time. The slight sound causes echoes in the cave.

There were traces of ore mining everywhere, and new and old pickaxes were scattered on the ground, as if something had happened suddenly and all the miners were called away, leaving no time to clean up the site.

The walls of the excavated cave showed blood-red veins, faintly emitting a faint spiritual energy.

"[Red Blood Ore]!"

Liang Yao's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the marks on the cave wall. The six cultivators at the fourth level of Qi training who were following closely behind him were also overjoyed. Without any hesitation, they picked up the pickaxes on the ground and immediately stepped forward to continue digging out the ore.

This [Red Blood Ore] is considered a relatively scarce spiritual resource in the offerings at the Taiping County Hall. It can be used to make armor and weapons for cultivators. Now that they have come across it, there is no reason for them to let it go.

Liang Yao immediately ordered: "I will protect you. The limit is one stick of incense. Take as much as you can. The most important thing for this trip is the magic weapon!"

Everyone agreed and swung their pickaxes quickly.

Soon, after an incense stick of time, Liang Yao immediately said, "Now, give me all the ores and I'll distribute them!"

Upon hearing this, the six cultivators at the fourth level of Qi training were somewhat reluctant, but considering Liang Yao's cultivation level and the fact that they would still need to rely on her in the future, they did not resist and came to her to hand over the ore.

Liang Yao counted with satisfaction: one, two, three, four... eleven, twelve, thirteen...

As she counted, she gradually felt something was wrong. It seemed that she didn't bring so many people with her?
Thinking of this, Liang Yao looked up and saw a long queue in front of her that stretched as far as the eye could see. Before she knew it, the mine was filled with people of all shapes and sizes, all carrying bags and handing over ore to her in order...
