For ten years I practiced Gu poison in Southeast Asia; all living beings revered me as a deity.

【The Cursed Lamp (a newly restored kerosene lamp): Thanks to the skillful hands of the lampsmith, it was given a new lease on life in just one day;

Furthermore, under the secret blessing of the Lanna Witchcraft sect, it was bound by the Seven-Section Tiger Curse, becoming a cursed artifact.

Luo Feng picked up the lamp, and more information flooded into his consciousness in a short time.

It turns out that this "cursed lamp" was just a "ritual implement" that had undergone a rudimentary cursing ritual.

Luo Feng was able to successfully refine the lamp on his first attempt because the lamp was already blessed by profound Buddhist teachings.

After being damaged, it was repaired again. He then used Lanna magic to refine it, and forcibly captured two souls that had been cruelly tortured, sealing them within the flames. This is how the "Cursed Lamp" was created.

The so-called souls who suffered "cruel torture" were naturally the bald, strong man and his accomplices.

Luo Feng summoned the wandering ghosts and spirits from the vicinity with a soul-summoning spell, intending to torment them and cause them immense suffering.

At this moment, the two souls were also superimposed and merged into the lamp flame, which can be said to be sealed in this lamp.

Luo Feng's eyes were drawn to the ball of flame.

The two faces in the flames were in excruciating pain, and they remained in the same state of "torture" they had experienced.

He also had a strange feeling that, through his natural connection with the cursed lamp, he could read the memories of these two souls.

"Although I refined it myself, I have to say... the methods of the Lanna Witchcraft Sect are truly bizarre..."

This lamp had already been blessed by Buddhist scriptures and mantras, and after absorbing the spells of the Lanna witchcraft sect and incorporating a living soul, it can be considered a successful ritual.

Currently, this lamp does not possess any special power; it can only confuse ordinary people and captivate their minds when its flame is lit.

Of course, this "Binding Lamp" has great potential; it can seal a demon using the binding techniques of the Lanna sorcerers.

This kind of evil spirit cannot be of the level of a demon, nor can it form a complete set of rules for killing.

However, that alone is already quite remarkable.

Having a cursed artifact gives you an overwhelming advantage against ordinary ghosts, and even if you encounter a malevolent spirit, you have a 30% chance of escaping if you can't defeat it.

However, the lamp that Luo Feng obtained is relatively weak. Unless it can contain powerful ghosts, the effect of the Cursed Lamp will be very limited.

"The Spirit Summoning Spell can also summon some wandering ghosts, but they are all too weak..."

Luo Feng still remembered some of the knowledge that Alichaya had taught him.

Ghosts are also divided into levels. Wandering ghosts, newly deceased corpse-guarding ghosts, and so on are the weakest ghosts.

Truly powerful evil spirits are difficult to deal with, requiring subjugation before they can be bound; moreover, there are specific requirements for which kind of evil spirit to bind, and it is not possible to simply find any evil spirit and contain it into the binding vessel.

"Fortunately, a cursed lamp has already been crafted."

Luo Feng murmured, "However, for me, refining a cursed artifact is equivalent to consuming one 'rank' of the Seventh Stage Tiger Technique."

The Seven-Tiger Method has seven "positions". By refining this cursed artifact, he could feel that a portion of the power in the talisman on his back had been consumed.

"I hope it's all worth it."

Luo Feng gripped the lamp's handle tightly in his hand.

Suddenly, a slight cool sensation flowed into his palm, which made him feel refreshed.

At the same time, a slight tingling sensation was felt throughout the skin, flesh, and bones of the entire body.

hiss!

The mark on Luo Feng's palm burned again.

A completely new piece of information emerged.

What is this?

Luo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He realized that this was a message conveyed by the Reincarnation Gu mark, which seemed to be asking him a question.

[Should we transform the "Binding Lamp" into our natal Gu artifact...?]

My natal Gu weapon?

As doubts arose in his mind.

More and more related insights, within Luo Feng's consciousness which only he could see, transformed into lines of text prompts.

A Gu vessel is a tool used to contain spirit Gu or to refine Gu.

The most primitive method of refining Gu is to place various poisonous insects in a jar and wait for them to kill and devour each other due to hunger. The last remaining insect then has the opportunity to transform into Gu inside the jar.

Since ancient times, witchcraft and sorcery have been one and the same; sorcery is witchcraft.

The Cursed Lamp already possesses the qualities of a Gu artifact. Its potential lies in its ability to collect living souls, driving them to kill, devour, and absorb each other. Through this cruel process, a bizarre Gu will be born.

This type of Gu, known as "Ghost Gu," is more ferocious and powerful than ordinary evil spirits, and can even break through to the level of "Spiritual Ghost."

"This will work?"

Luo Feng was taken aback.

The binding implements of the Lanna witchcraft sect are not allowed to contain evil spirits of the rank of demon.

However, the Reincarnation Gu Mark seems to convey another idea: that by transforming the "Binding Lamp" into a natal Gu artifact, one can perform soul-refining Gu.

He knew very well what "refining the living soul into a Gu" meant. It meant using cruel methods to kill and torture people, then extracting their living souls and integrating them into this lamp, causing them to devour each other like Gu worms.

"This method... seems to have no limitations. The only drawback is that if the ghost Gu contained in the Curse-Binding Lamp is too strong, the owner of this natal Gu artifact will also be controlled by it."

Ultimately, the problem lies in the "living soul refining" method used by the ghost gu, which is too easy to master quickly. If one's own abilities are insufficient, one is easily susceptible to backlash from the ghost gu.

Luo Feng narrowed his eyes again, his expression ethereal, as if he were lost in thought.

"No rush..."

He shifted his gaze to the duo with gray eyes, ashen faces, and drooling.

"Right now... we should deal with these two people."

Luo Feng smiled slightly, walked over, removed the cloth stuffed in the bald, burly man's mouth, and untied him as well.

The tall foreigner slowly straightened up. His movements were unusually stiff, like a zombie in a movie, and his demeanor was incongruous.

"What's your name?"

Luo Feng asked casually.

"Schmidt Brandt".

The bald, muscular man gave a mechanical answer.

His face was ashen, and his eyes remained deathly gray.

With his soul under Luo Feng's control, the man could only submit to his whims.

"alright."

Luo Feng handed him a dagger that he had taken from the other man.

"Take your companion away and find a place to commit suicide... Oh, and don't contact the outside world along the way. Also, remember to find a way to hide the body."

He gave the bald, muscular man a death order.

"I remember there's a river nearby, right? Why don't we just drive the car in there? If we do that, no one should be able to find your bodies for a while."

The bald, burly man nodded silently.

He turned around and used his dagger to untie the ropes binding his companion.

After being untied, the latter also looked distraught and lost his mind.

The two of them left the villa one after the other, like wandering souls.

After losing their life force, these two will not live for long; they will die within a day or two at most. They are just barely clinging to life now.

Luo Feng did not intend to ask them for any information; he could read their memories from their souls.

He was now very curious about the origins of these two people and why they had come looking for him...

However, this answer can be clearly understood with the help of this cursed lamp!
