Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 48 The Yin Ghost Formation is complete! [Please continue reading]

"The Yin Ghost is born of filth and chaos, and it likes to eat Yin things. If it hides in the Yin Ghost Flag and is properly nurtured, its strength can increase day by day, and it can then nourish the Yin Flag."

This is the message that Ji Yuan received from the transmission.

As for the Yin objects he obtained from Black Mist Island that nurtured Yin ghosts, as well as the bone-rotting flowers, he stored them separately in the Ghost Island Lord's storage bag.

Just like now, he took out a small bottle of Tiankui Blood from his storage bag, poured it into the basin he had prepared beforehand, and then took out the Yin Ghost Flag.

Two ghosts darted out and immediately pounced on the basin.

The two dark figures immediately began to lick incessantly, and as they inhaled and exhaled, the black mist around their bodies grew increasingly thick.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He originally had four Yin ghosts, but he killed two of them.

But then I thought, if all four were together, the cultivation process would definitely be slower. Just like the previous Ghost Island Master, who cultivated them for so long, but these four Yin Ghosts were only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

If he had focused on raising those two, they might have already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"After another half month of nurturing, these two Yin ghosts should be able to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining. However, by then, the Yin artifacts left behind by the Ghost Island Master will be almost used up, and we'll have to forge a new path ourselves."

Ji Yuan still needs to figure out where to get new Yin objects.

Well, let's wait until we break through. For now, we need to modify this Yin Ghost Formation.

He then slowly closed his eyes and recalled the memories of the Yin Ghost Flag in his mind.

After a while, Ji Yuan released the Yin Ghost Array in the Enlightenment Room. It wasn't very large, but it occupied only a small part of the room.

To this end, he even pasted several first-tier talismans on the wall to isolate his aura.

Black array patterns appeared, and Ji Yuan walked and observed them.

According to the descriptions in the array formation books that Ji Yuan had read before, ordinary array formations all have special spirit stone grooves carved on them.

When you need to use it, you can put the spirit stone into the spirit stone slot, and the array pattern will be activated automatically.

However, this Yin Ghost Formation did not have a spirit stone trough, and even in those memories, the location of the spirit stone trough was not given.

Otherwise, the Ghost Island Master wouldn't have turned it into the way it is now.

If that's the case, then we need to add a few spirit stone slots inside this Yin Ghost Flag.

So where should we put it?

Ji Yuan stroked his chin, frowning in thought, while constantly moving around within the formation, trying to select nodes one by one.

But every time he chose one, he followed the array pattern and found that there was always a path that was blocked.

If the path is blocked, it means that spiritual energy cannot reach every part of the array through the array patterns, and problems will occur when it is activated.

After careful consideration, Ji Yuan couldn't find a way out, so he had to stop for the time being and prepare to see if there was any record in the book, and also practice for a while.

Nowadays, Ji Yuan rarely relies on absorbing the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth for cultivation, especially now that the [Pigpen] has been upgraded to level two, producing 10 spirit stones every day.

Furthermore, his ability to inscribe intermediate-level talismans only increased his power.

Most of the time, they would first take a Spirit Gathering Pill, and then use spirit stones to begin their cultivation.

He still ate the spirit eggs, but he used the eggshells to feed the spirit pigs or half-spirit fish.

Ji Xianren is long past the age of cracking eggshells.

the next morning.

Wu Yan knocked on Ji Yuan's courtyard door and personally delivered a generous gift.

Ji Yuan estimated that if converted into spirit stones, it would probably be worth seventy or eighty.

The gift was too generous, so Ji Yuan refused it.

Wu Yan kept Wu Wenbin's instructions in mind: as long as the attitude was right, that was enough. So when Ji Yuan didn't accept the gift, he didn't insist. After exchanging a few polite words, he left.

Throughout the entire process, they didn't give me any attitude; instead, they greeted me with a smile.

Ji Yuan saw a resemblance between him and Wu Wenbin.

A smiling tiger that looks exactly the same.

Ji Yuan closed his door and continued his cultivation, but just one day later, someone knocked on his courtyard gate again. This time, however, it was Lin Hu who opened the door.

Judging from the fish basket on his back, he must have just come back from selling fish at the fish market.

"Brother Ji."

Lin Hu shouted, his face looking somewhat grim.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Yuan assumed that Lin Hu had encountered some trouble again and was coming to him for help. If it was just about borrowing spirit stones, that would be fine, but if it was something else, he would have to think twice.

"I was selling fish in Zengtou City when I heard some news, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"What news?"

"I heard that Uncle Lu was killed while he was out fishing."

"Uncle Lu?" Ji Yuan was taken aback.

Lin Hu followed up, saying, "It's Lu Wan's father, Lu Song."

Back when Lu Song's family hadn't moved away yet, they also lived near this lake and had some acquaintance with Lin Youwei, though not as close as they were with Ji Yuan's family.

"What?"

This news really surprised Ji Yuan.

He originally thought the Wu family wouldn't go to such lengths, but to his surprise, they did.

"What about Lu Wan?"

"I don't know."

Lin Hu shook his head.

Admittedly, this news was somewhat shocking to Ji Yuan, so after Lin Hu finished speaking, he made a special trip to Zengtou City.

Indeed, I heard a lot of people talking about it, after all, the previous conflict between Lu Wan and the Wu family had already become a topic of conversation for many people.

Now someone has died, and the one who died was a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Naturally, even more people came to watch the spectacle.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and went to the Lu family again, only to find that the gate was still locked. He asked the neighbors and learned that Lu Wan's family had moved away before the New Year.

Ji Yuan didn't know where his new home was, so he had no choice but to go back home.

Just a few days later, he heard another piece of news.

It was said that the Qin family had given Lu Wan protection and had also declared that the matter with the Wu family was over, and that if things continued to escalate, the Qin family would intervene.

Thus, this long-standing feud was forcibly brought to a close.

That's all for now.

It must be that the Qin family and the Wu family, these two prominent families in Zengtou City, have reached some kind of deal behind the scenes... Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Half a month later, Ji Yuan met Lu Wan, who was dressed in mourning clothes and had come to give him the blood essence money.

When they met again, her eyes had lost their former liveliness, becoming like a stagnant pool, or a deep well, devoid of any spirit.

Ji Yuan declined several times, but seeing her resolute attitude, he finally accepted it.

But just before she was about to leave, Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Sister Lu, the Qin family... can't be trusted either."

Lu Wan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

But it was quickly covered up again.

"I know, don't worry."

"Um."

That's all I have to say; I won't elaborate further on the matter.

Since Lu Wan can say that, she must really have a solution.

"Ji Yuan, you also plan to join the Water Dragon Sect, don't you?"

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Who in Zengtou City wouldn't want to join the Water Dragon Sect?"

"Alright, then...we..." Lu Wan took a deep breath and finally said, "See you at the Water Dragon Sect."

Although Ji Yuan didn't understand what it meant, he still nodded and replied:

"it is good."

Two months passed in this way, and with the blessing of the Enlightenment Chamber, Ji Yuan finally succeeded in improving the incomplete Yin Ghost Array.

Five spirit stone troughs, activated by five spirit stones.

The Yin Ghost Formation is complete!
