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

soon.

In no time, Lin Xuan drew the array base according to the steps and placed the spirit stones into it one by one.

"Buzz!"

After the last spirit stone was placed down.

The small spirit-gathering array flashed with white light and emitted a soft hum, then began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"It's done!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and Lin Xuan could feel the spiritual energy within the formation slowly increasing.

"Why don't we start cultivating now!"

Lin Xuan stepped into the center, intending to try his hand at cultivation.

Suddenly, a very strong smell of body odor wafted over.

"Jiji!"

Deep in the dense forest, a gray-white fox, about the size of a wolf, ran over and stared intently at Lin Xuan in the spirit-gathering formation, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

"A demon? It was attracted by the noise of the spirit-gathering array!"

Lin Xuan immediately understood; it must be the Spirit Gathering Array's method of absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy that attracted the fox.

Looking at the fox demon, Lin Xuan was somewhat curious.

He had seen zombies and ghosts, but this was the first time he had seen a demon. He wondered what abilities this demon possessed.

Just as Lin Xuan was thinking, a rich, sweet fragrance wafted over, mixed with a faint demonic aura.

"My lord~" a sweet, delicate voice rang out.

From Lin Xuan's perspective, the fox in front of him slowly transformed into a beautiful woman dressed in white, her alluring skin faintly visible.

"My love~ come out quickly!"

The woman in white reached out her hand to Lin Xuan and beckoned him.

"I'm coming!"

Lin Xuan seemed to have lost his soul as he left the Spirit Gathering Array and then walked out of the protective array.

"come on!"

The woman smiled sweetly, and reached one hand behind her back, which had already transformed into the shape of a fox claw.

Lin Xuan seemed to be bewitched, and gradually moved closer to the woman.

"Humph!"

The distance between the two gradually narrowed to only two steps. The woman's eyes sharpened, and she raised her left hand in a fox-like claw, about to make a move.

"Lightning Thunder Fist!"

Lin Xuan threw a punch, his expression clear, showing no sign of being confused.

"Your charm magic is just this?"

Lin Xuan slowly shook his head, "What era is this? Still calling someone 'husband'!"

"They don't know how to keep up with the times!"

Lin Xuan threw a punch, instantly striking the fox demon's head.

Click!

The fox demon's skull was instantly shattered, and lightning surged into its body, purifying all the demonic energy within it.

The fox collapsed, blood trickling from its mouth.

[Ding! You have defeated a minor demon*, earning merit points.]

"This fox demon is so weak, yet it has merit points!"

Lin Xuan was quite surprised.

This fox demon had no real power other than causing him some hallucinations, yet it was still worth merit points.

"Could it be that killing demons yields more merit points?" Lin Xuan wondered, but had no answer for the time being.

Hong Kong Island has recently been plagued by ghost stories and zombie sightings, but so far there haven't been any reports of monsters appearing in any homes.

Lin Xuan picked up the fox demon's corpse and headed towards the spirit-gathering array.

Even if this fox is weak, it has become a demon. Its fur can barely be made into three talismans, and its meat can also nourish the body.

Meeting you today was a pleasant surprise.

"Give me a small gift before I begin my cultivation!"

"This breakthrough should go smoothly!"

Stepping into the Spirit Gathering Array, Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then took down the Grade 9 Five Elements Spirit Stone and exchanged it for five Grade 5 Five Elements Spirit Stones with different attributes, placing them one by one into the Spirit Gathering Array.

"Come on, let's settle this with one battle!"

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array! Earth Master, break!

Within the Spirit Gathering Array, the speed at which spiritual energy from heaven and earth is absorbed is even faster.

Five spirit stones, worth a total of merit points!

The price of two Demon Kings!

Use merit points to set up the formation.

If he doesn't break through this time, Lin Xuan will be heartbroken!

He sat cross-legged, spent all his remaining merit points, bought six rank-nine spirit stones, held them in his palm, and began to circulate the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique.

Boom boom! !

Pure spiritual energy surged into Lin Xuan's dantian, rapidly propelling his cultivation level upwards.

The Nine Heavens of Human Teachers: Mid-stage...Late-stage...Perfect...

At this point, Lin Xuan's cultivation finally reached a bottleneck.

Inside the Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual energy has reached three times that of the outside world.

The five elements of spiritual energy circulated within it and were easily absorbed by Lin Xuan.

Four of the ninth-grade spirit stones in his hand shattered.

To break through to the next level of the maxed-out Maoshan Qi Refining Technique, even more spiritual energy is needed!

Fortunately, the spiritual energy has now been gathered.

"Next, it's time to break through to the Earth Master realm!"

Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but get excited at this moment.

Geomancer!

This breakthrough represents a completely different situation from anything before.

The spiritual energy around him grew increasingly dense, and Lin Xuan sensed that his dantian was becoming more and more complete, and slowly he even felt it expanding.

A warm, burning sensation emanated from my dantian.

At the same time, not only his dantian, but also his flesh and bones seemed to be absorbing spiritual energy, allowing them to be reborn.

From the outside, Lin Xuan appeared to be enveloped in spiritual energy, with a thin veil of spiritual energy emanating from his body.

The Spirit Gathering Array is becoming increasingly powerful, and the quality of the abundant spiritual energy within it has reached the level of a Grade Spirit Stone.

Moreover, because it involves the rotation of the five elements, it is easier for people to absorb.

Click!

The ninth-grade spirit stone in Lin Xuan's hand shattered once again.

A layer of cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Even now, Lin Xuan still hasn't succeeded in breaking through. He can only keep absorbing spiritual energy, circulating his cultivation technique, and trying to liquefy the spiritual energy to break through the Earth Master's barrier.

After an unknown amount of time, his dantian went from being scorching hot to feeling as if it were being burned by fire. Streams of spiritual energy surged from his dantian into his meridians and into his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan's bone marrow felt as if it were being gnawed by ants, as spiritual energy continuously washed over it, making one feel both ecstatic and on the verge of death.

His appearance and complexion gradually turned pale.

Drops of dark gray grime were squeezed out from who-knows-where; this was the second time the body had undergone a cleansing and purification process.

The effect of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the essence has appeared, which means that Lin Xuan is not far from breaking through to the Earth Master level.

The spiritual energy within his body began to liquefy smoothly, and the sensation of being bitten by ants all over his body slowly disappeared. Gradually, a cool aura flowed through his body, making him feel very comfortable.
