Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

He never imagined that Lin Xuan was actually a Celestial Master!

Before this, the black-robed wizard could never have imagined that in the current environment of the end of the Dharma, there would still be a Celestial Master!

Unfortunately for him, he ran into the same place and even had to fight the Celestial Master!

The black-robed wizard's face was filled with despair.

Heavenly Master!

The black-robed wizard didn't know what kind of power the Celestial Master possessed, but the aura emanating from Lin Xuan's wave of his hand was enough to make him tremble!

The black-robed wizard understood that such powerful force was something he simply could not resist!

After killing the two snake-man puppets, Lin Xuan looked at the black-robed wizard with interest and asked, "What, do you have any more puppets like those?"

One snake-man puppet is worth 5000 merit points, and two of them are comparable to a ghost king, which is quite a lot.

Young Master Shi looked hopefully at the black-robed wizard, wanting to know if the wizard had any other tricks up his sleeve.

If not, the two might as well surrender.

In Master Shi's opinion, although the two of them wanted to kill Lin Xuan, they failed to do so.

Lin Xuan is a decent and upright person, so he probably wouldn't kill him.

Yes, Master Shi himself knows he is not a good person, but he always hopes to portray others as good people, after all, a gentleman can be deceived.

"Celestial Master, hehe, Celestial Master!"

The black-robed wizard didn't answer, but just chuckled foolishly.

According to Taoist teachings, his condition is called a collapse of his Taoist heart.

The black-robed wizard never expected that he would dare to attack the Celestial Master.

Seeing the black-robed wizard looking terrified, Lin Xuan shook his head. In this state, he probably didn't have any tricks up his sleeve.

Thunderclap Finger!

With a flick of his finger, lightning gathered, and with a bang, the black-robed wizard's head exploded.

Blood and brain matter were splattered all over the ground, and the headless corpse was still trembling, which was extremely terrifying.

[Ding! Puppet Wizard*1 defeated. Reward: 5 Merit Points.]

5 merits!

Lin Xuan's heart stirred slightly. With so many merit points, the black-robed wizard's strength was not worthy of it.

Without a doubt, he must have done a lot of bad things.

5 merit points, that's enough to buy five Ghost Kings!

He didn't die unjustly!

Lin Xuan shook his head and looked at the almost stunned Young Master Shi beside him.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"Master! Great Mage, I don't want to die, please! My family is very rich, I can buy my life with money!"

Young Master Shi, who was shocked by the death of the black-robed wizard, came to his senses and his face was full of flattery.

Young Master Shi knelt down and crawled toward Lin Xuan, seemingly trying to grab Lin Xuan's leg.

"Master, we don't really have any grudges against each other, please let me off the hook!"

"By the way, why don't you take that wizard's place and work for our Shi family? Our Shi family will definitely treat you well! You can have whatever you want, money, or beautiful women!"

"Don't underestimate Renjia Town just because it's poor. My Shi family is very wealthy. As long as you work for my Shi family, you can earn tens of thousands a year!"

Suppressing his fear, Young Master Shi tried to bribe Lin Xuan with money, not only to let him go, but also to get Lin Xuan to do things for him.

Lin Xuan is much stronger than the black-robed wizard!

The black-robed wizard dared not attack the Ren family, fearing the so-called expert behind them, but Lin Xuan was a different story!

As for Ren Tingting, if Lin Xuan likes her, it doesn't matter if he gives her to him.

Once the Ren family is ruined, Ren Tingting, an orphan with no one to rely on, will be easier for Lin Xuan to control, won't she?

Young Master Shi looked at Lin Xuan expectantly, hoping that Lin Xuan would agree.

A house that was moved up to HK$10,000 in 1986 was very valuable, and even a typical geomancer might be tempted by it.

But to Lin Xuan, this was a joke.

Putting aside his billion-dollar fortune, a dignified Celestial Master would never risk his life for someone else.

Lin Xuan shook his head, waved his hand, and Young Master Shi's head exploded.

[Ding! Young Master Shi has been defeated. Reward: 500 Merit Points.]

500 merit points is far less than that of the black-robed wizard, but since killing him would bring merit, Young Master Shi must have done his fair share of evil deeds.

After the two died, Lin Xuan looked at the corpse of the black-robed wizard.

Don't underestimate the black-robed wizard just because he's only at the second level of Earth Master; he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

Things like bone golems and corpse golems are quite remarkable.

Lin Xuan didn't care about these puppetry techniques, but he had his eye on the secret method that seemed to be used to cultivate demons.

As long as this secret method isn't evil or bloody, and the cultivation efficiency is good enough, Lin Xuan plans to give it a try to train Little White.

The faster Xiao Bai's strength increases, the better. Once he reaches the ninth level of the Demon General realm, it will be able to lend him a helping hand.

Of course, the actual effectiveness depends on the secret technique. If it doesn't meet one's expectations, has hidden dangers, or requires a huge price, then it's better to discard the secret technique.

A lot of blood splattered from the black-robed wizard's corpse. Lin Xuan used his spiritual energy to condense a small, azure handprint and searched the black-robed wizard's body.

Such independent cultivators usually carry their cultivation techniques with them and study them in real time in order to make further progress.

You never know when a flash of inspiration will lead to progress.

After all, not everyone is like Lin Xuan, who can improve his skills to the maximum level after reading the introductory text once.

The black-robed wizard was the same; he carried several booklets with him.

Lin Xuan took it out and looked at it.

The Art of Gathering Spirits and Supporting Demons.

"The Art of Puppetry" (Part 1)

The Corpse Gu Refining Method.

The Art of Spirit Accumulation.

There were four manuals in total. Lin Xuan glanced at them briefly, and apart from the first one, "The Art of Gathering Spirits and Supporting Demons," the other three held no appeal for him.

The technique of gathering spirits and supporting demons truly impressed Lin Xuan.

As the name suggests, this is a book that uses spiritual energy to enhance the cultivation of demons.

From human masters to earth masters, they can use spiritual energy to increase the cultivation level of demons, eventually making the demons' cultivation level equal to their own.

Although cultivating this Daoist technique slows down the cultivator's progress, it grants them a powerful demon companion, greatly enhancing their combat strength!

This technique is clearly not weak.

Lin Xuan carefully observed the Spirit Absorption and Demon Support Technique, and then began to learn it.

[Ding, the Spirit Absorption and Demon Support Technique (incomplete) has been detected. You have successfully entered the beginner level and have automatically leveled up to the maximum level.]

All the knowledge and experience regarding the Soul Absorption and Demon Support Technique instantly flooded into Lin Xuan's mind.

Lin Xuan didn't know.

The black snake that attacked Lin Xuan was the target that the black-robed wizard had initially refined, so its cultivation level was equal to his.

However, the black-robed wizard later used the blood of a black snake to refine the two snake-man puppets, which caused them to turn against each other.

Then, the black-robed wizard chose another ape demon, but it died before it could be fully raised.

Lin Xuan didn't know much about the black-robed wizard, but he could guess the general idea.

He doesn't care.

The maxed-out Spirit Absorption and Demon Support Technique made Lin Xuan realize that Little White's strength could increase rapidly.

The Spirit Absorption and Demon Enhancement Technique can use a cultivator's spiritual energy to enhance the cultivation level of demons, but the speed is not fast.

The black-robed wizard spent at least twenty years cultivating the black snake.

After reaching the maximum level of this cultivation technique, Lin Xuan realized that the most efficient method was not to use the cultivator's own spiritual energy, but to use spirit stones in addition to the technique, employing both methods simultaneously.

In this way, the cultivation level of demons can rise rapidly.

Humans are different from demons and do not have such a long lifespan. If it takes twenty years to train a demon general, then this cultivation technique is simply a useless technique!

In twenty years, one could cultivate a demon of equal cultivation level to oneself. In that time, a cultivator's cultivation level could break through one or two more realms.

The black-robed wizard did this because he was a puppet wizard and his own combat strength was weak.

No one else would practice this kind of Taoist art.

However, the Art of Absorbing Spirits and Supporting Demons is not a truly useless cultivation technique. The reason it appears useless is due to the Dharma-ending Age.
