Starting with the drowned ghost, he synthesized the Myobo no Shinjun.

The lake breeze was cool in the early morning, but Ning Kui's heart was burning with passion.

Thanks to the selfless dedication of the entire Ding family, his only great supernatural power, "Devouring Yin and Evil," finally achieved its first advancement.

The exaggerated enhancement left Ning Kui unable to calm down for a long time, his heart pounding like a war drum.

He wished he could revive Ding Yuan and then kill him again.

[Master of Fate: Ning Kui]

[Great Supernatural Power: Devouring Yin and Evil (Minor Success), Progress (13325/1000000)]

[Special Feature: Upon reaching the Lesser Completion stage, one can extract the cultivation techniques of living people by devouring their souls, and their cultivation level will also be converted into Yin Qi points]

In this way, the benefits of killing living enemies will not be greatly reduced.

Why did he only reap one-tenth of the rewards when he fought against villains and evil spirits of the same level, even though he exerted the same amount of effort?

Now that his supernatural powers have been enhanced, Ning Kui's confidence in completing the "Evil Exorcism Order" has been greatly strengthened.

At worst, in a few years, Ning Kui will do what the Song Dynasty court dares not do himself!

Forcibly calming his boiling blood, he then began to think about the arrangement of Yin energy points.

7700 points may seem like a lot, but in reality, only two things are enough to complete the transformation.

Martial arts realm and the supernatural power of [water control].

"From the Great Perfection to the Perfection of the Flesh Refining Realm, it is nothing more than strengthening the flesh and blood's regenerative ability, increasing strength, making the blood and qi more vigorous, and making the Dragon Scale Immortal Robe's defense more solid."

...It seems quite tempting.

However, I'm even more curious about what changes will occur after Da Cheng's minor supernatural abilities break through.

[Minor Supernatural Power: Water Control (Mastery), Progress (2300/10000)]

Add points and break through!

The next instant, the Yin energy points were completely reset to zero!

A sense of panic called "poverty" enveloped Ning Kui's heart.

Fortunately, the improvement in his [Water Control] ability was worth the courage he had to go all in on Yin energy.

[Minor Supernatural Power: Water Control (Perfect), Progress (10000/∞)]

[Characteristics: The water control range is expanded to one hundred zhang. It can select one characteristic from other supernatural abilities already integrated into the water control ability and fuse it with the water control ability to sublimate it into a new intermediate supernatural ability.]

Ning Kui was so surprised by this unexpected joy that he stood up abruptly from the reef.

Created his own supernatural powers?!

While the Devouring Yin and Evil Great Divine Power Technique is indeed powerful, the divine powers obtained may not all be what he wants.

Now he can create his own intermediate-level supernatural power, which not only retains the original [Water Control] characteristic, but also makes it more suitable for his own combat style.

He quickly reviewed the various minor supernatural abilities he had previously absorbed in his mind.

Water Prison Technique, Yin Water Technique, Whirlpool Technique, Water Whip Technique, Water Tiger Technique...

It's all garbage.

He suddenly remembered the Heavy Water Technique of the Core Formation Realm Crocodile Turtle in the Forbidden Ruins.

This is indeed a remarkable supernatural power. Combined with [Water Control], it might give rise to some intermediate supernatural power related to gravity.

Ning Kui refused to believe it and recalled the various characteristics he had previously fused.

Then, his gaze settled on the [Yin Water Technique].

This was also obtained from a black python at the Core Formation stage, when he was only a Skin Refining stage martial artist.

The oppressive feeling exerted on him by the black python was undeniably strong.

"If we combine [Water Control] with [Yin Water Technique], could it be elevated to a supernatural power related to ice?"

Ning Kui couldn't help but gasp, suddenly realizing that his concept of the Yin Water Domain could directly leap to the Ice Domain.

First, use a flood to clear the field, then use ice to control the field; the slaughter efficiency will increase dramatically!

"Combining [Water Control] with [Yin Water Technique]!"

The records on the stone tablet immediately began to change; the water control ability disappeared, and a completely new ability was born in its place.

[Intermediate Divine Ability: Mystic Ice Domain (Beginner), Progress (1/1000)]

【Characteristics: Within a radius of 100 feet, it can rapidly freeze water into black ice. This black ice is hard, difficult to melt with fire, and difficult to cut with iron.】

[Yin Qi Point: 0]

"Excellent! Perfect!"

Ning Kui was overjoyed. Just then, a large wave crashed in front of Kunze Lake. Ning Kui stretched out his finger and activated his supernatural power.

Starting from his fingertips, large swathes of ice began to condense and spread.

In the blink of an eye, the hundred-foot-deep lake before them froze!

Through the hard ice, you can even see the fish and shrimp that have frozen to death instantly inside.

Such powerful freezing force would make it difficult for even a martial artist with boiling blood to escape unscathed.

"melt!"

Ning Kui seemed to be a deity with the power of heaven, his words becoming law. The magnificent waves and ice layer instantly shattered into ice mist, which then turned back into water and flowed into Kunze Lake.

Some of the fish and shrimp are very resilient, and because they were frozen for a short time, they gradually revive in the water.

More often than not, they have completely lost their vitality.

"If he possessed this supernatural power before the bandits attacked..."

Ning Kui sighed deeply. "That's how most things are in this world. Once you miss an opportunity, it's hard to get it back."

Only by seizing every opportunity and constantly becoming stronger can we make the world operate according to our will.

.......

.......

In Jing'an Prefecture, only one study in the otherwise silent government office was still lit by an oil lamp.

A dignified middle-aged man sat at his desk reviewing official documents. His thick white hair was mixed with black hair, revealing signs of premature aging.

His window was open, and a golden eagle stood on the windowsill, preening its golden feathers.

"The Dragon King's curse to kill the Ding family was perfectly timed..."

The middle-aged man put down his brush and picked up the memorial he had just written to examine it under the lamplight.

Yesterday, Yugu County suffered a major upheaval, and today the imperial court is in an uproar over it.

Some officials said that the officials in Yugu County were incompetent and should all be dismissed, and that the imperial court should appoint capable officials to govern the county.

Some officials said that the evil family sheltered the people, preventing a large number of people from being slaughtered by river bandits, and therefore deserved to be commended.

Some officials said that this shows that evil spirits are like a minor ailment, with more benefits than harms. They argued that the exorcism order should not be pushed forward, as it could backfire and damage the nation's reputation.

It is said that His Majesty was so annoyed by the noise that he simply turned and left the court, leaving the officials to argue back and forth without regard for decorum.

"The fact that the Dragon King cursed and killed the Ding family is enough to shut most people up."

Your Majesty must also reconsider: how many of those families backed by powerful evil are truly worthy of being entrusted with matters of state?

He walked to the window and picked up the golden-feathered eagle.

This mythical bird can travel 100,000 li in a day, and can fly continuously for three days and three nights without stopping.

It was an important means for him to connect with the imperial court.

After tying up the memorial, he picked up the golden eagle and released it into the night sky. But after a flash of golden light, the golden eagle was nowhere to be seen.

After finishing all that, he lay exhausted on the bench.

As dawn broke, a weary smile crept across my face; I wouldn't be able to get even two hours of sleep tonight.

"According to Xiao Qi, this matter was mainly accomplished by a little guy named Ning Kui."

"What a young hero! I must meet him sometime..."

The middle-aged man muttered to himself as he quickly fell asleep.

As the first rays of dawn shone through the corner of the window, he seemed to be dreaming of something, a smile appearing on his face as he softly chanted a prayer.

"A thousand-foot pagoda stands atop Feilai Mountain; it is said that at cockcrow one can see the sunrise."

"I am not afraid of the clouds obscuring my view, for I stand at the highest peak."
