Chapter Thirty-Three: Those Things About Spirits and Ghosts

  Shi Dong smiled slightly and asked Huang Xiao Ru: "May I ask, Fourth Brother, what kind of spells can the Mo Xie Men cultivators cultivate?"

  "Not many, only a dozen or so, divided into three categories of defensive, offensive and auxiliary spells. For example, 'Killing Flash Thunder' is an attack spell; 'Primordial Qi Shield' is a yellow-level defensive spell that can envelop the cultivator's body with a layer of condensed killing intent, which can withstand a certain number of enemy attacks; There is also 'Wind Deflection Technique', a yellow-level auxiliary spell that can stir up yin wind around the cultivator, enhancing movement ability."

  Hehe, most of the spells are yellow-level, with limited power and difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the small cultivators in the Qi Refining stage generally only cultivate these three, which have a certain defensive, offensive and speed capabilities, and can basically cope with human combat."

  He paused, then said: "The truly powerful and mighty spells are all fifth-grade spells. Even a spell at the Earth Stage level can move mountains and fill seas, it's beyond our imagination! Moreover, as far as I know, our Demon Slaughter Sect doesn't have any Earth Stage spells, we only learned a few Mystic Stage spells from Peak Master Pi Laozu. If you want to learn them, you'll need to exchange a large amount of sect contribution points for them, heh heh, don't even think about it if you don't have over a thousand contribution points."

  Shi Dong's heart moved and he hastily asked, "I remember the day I entered the sect, Pi Laozu revealed a hand of gravity technique. What level of magic is this? Will we be able to learn it in the future?"

  "Haha! Shi Dong, your ambition is not small!" Huang Xiao Ru looked up and laughed loudly, then immediately became serious and said: "As far as I know, this gravity technique is actually the new Xuan stage magic that Pi Laozu has been practicing recently. However, he achieved it with the help of a spirit ghost, rather than directly releasing it."

  "What? What does this mean?" Both of them were shocked.

  "Heh heh, I have to let you two know that although our Mo Xie Men cultivators are not skilled in cultivating magic, we have one advantage that other sects can't match, and that's the Ling Gui Zhuo!"

  "What's a Linggui?" Shi Dong and Mao Feifei exchanged a glance, hearing this term for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

  "Ah, the seven spirits reside in their respective positions." Huang Xiao Ru nodded and explained: "Do you think that the seven major chakras are simply opened? Ha ha... Tian Chong is located at the crown wheel, governing internal energy control, allowing cultivators to grasp magic; Ling Hui is located at the brow wheel, governing spirit; Qi is located at the throat wheel, governing primordial breath; Li is located at the heart wheel, governing strength; Zhong Shu is located at the navel wheel, governing physical solidity; Jing is located at the dantian wheel, governing cultivation; and Ying is located at the sea bottom wheel, governing body techniques and speed."

  The so-called spiritual ghost inhabits the aperture, which means to put the spiritual ghost into the aperture, allowing the practitioner to temporarily possess the spiritual ghost's divine powers. For example, a five-yuan law ghost has the divine power of fireball technique. When this spiritual ghost enters the top wheel... "Huang Xiao Ru pointed to his own head with his hand," in this way, the practitioner possesses the ability to release the fireball technique without having to possess spiritual roots or spiritual energy, nor do they need to learn the fireball technique again. Moreover, its power is much greater than what the spiritual ghost itself can release. As for how much it can be enhanced, it depends on the practitioner's cultivation and the skill of the ghost-controlling technique. Generally speaking, an increase of one fold is not a problem.

  Shi Dong and Mao Feifei were both stunned, such a perverted divine ability, it seems to be the patent of Mo Xie Men's cultivators, no wonder the demonic path's divine abilities are much greater than the orthodox path, indeed it's against the heavens!

  Huang Xiaoru continued, "Actually, this is a treasure of the Taoist arts. The spirit ghost is an external force, and we cultivators borrow its power to make it even more magnificent. This is in line with the saying from 'Encouraging Learning', 'The gentleman's birth is not different, but he makes good use of things.' Pi Laozu only had a earth-based ghost technique, called 'Tu Kui Ghost', which has gravity and earth escape techniques. Pi Laozu took it into his aperture, so he possessed these two techniques. How about it? Are you envious?"

  Shi Dong and Mao Feifei were speechless, their mouths agape, their eyes wide with shock.

  Huang Xiaoru's face lit up, and he muttered to himself: "This earthy ghost is actually a Xuanjie Linggui, and it can even use dual magic techniques. Its value exceeds 1 million spirit stones, truly enviable!"

  Mysterious Ghost on the Dark Staircase?

  Dual Spell?

  Worth millions?

  Each word was like a heavy hammer, striking heavily on Shi Dong and Mao Feifei's hearts, the two suddenly became like wooden carvings or clay sculptures, their eyes revealing deep shock.

  After a long time, Mao Feifei let out a mouthful of air and said in a trembling voice: "Damn it... Sorry Fourth Brother, I wasn't scolding you. I was saying damn it, the Ling Gui is so particular and valuable! My Light Spirit Ghost was treated like a precious treasure, but in the eyes of the Old Ancestor, it's not even worth a fart!"

  "Heh heh, it's not that simple. You're just starting to cultivate and having a yellow-stage Lingyun Ghost as an assistant is pretty good, enough for you to use until the later stages of Qi Refining. Actually, when your cultivation isn't high, owning a very precious spirit ghost isn't necessarily a good thing, remember 'the crime of holding a precious jade'! He said this and glanced at Shi Dong, who had been silent all along, his eyes flickering with unknown thoughts."

  In fact, Shi Dong's heart was like a stormy sea, shocked and inexplicable. The way of the spiritual ghost is so profound that it can stay in the nostrils, which is not mentioned in that half-book "Gambling Ghost Scripture", I think it was intentionally deleted by Zhou De Nuo.

  With the power of a dual-elemental spirit being so great, having one would be enough to bring about earth-shattering changes and increase one's strength; even selling it would yield tens of millions, truly driving people mad!

  He immediately thought of the gambling ghost scripture he had obtained, if he could get a complete set, the gambling ghost would be 100% accurate, and even the rare earth ghost and spirit ghost wouldn't be a problem, he would own them sooner or later.

  Thinking of this, his heart was burning with a fiery passion, as if hot blood was boiling, and he was so excited that he almost shouted loudly.

  "What's on your mind, Shi Dong?" Huang Xiaoru asked suddenly.

  Shi Dong suddenly woke up from his contemplation, hurriedly suppressing his excitement and organizing his thoughts. He respectfully replied: "Fourth Brother, I was thinking that since the effect of the Ling Gui is so great and its value is so high, it's probably the reason why the Dao of Ghost Control is difficult to cultivate."

  "How could that be? The Emperor's Ghostly Way is so powerful, everyone will rush to cultivate it. With many people practicing it, there shouldn't be any bottlenecks!" Ma Feifei interjected.

  Huang Xiaoru looked at Shi Dong, nodding in approval. "That's right, you're absolutely right! The way of ghost control is indeed very powerful, which is why many people are cultivating it. However, while it's easy to get started, becoming truly proficient and achieving great success is extremely difficult!"

  Take a deep breath and slowly say: "The Linggui is divided into four levels of 'Tian Di Xuan Huang', and there are also ghost soldiers, ghost guards, ghost warriors, ghost generals, ghost marshals, ghost Zun, ghost saints, ghost kings, ghost emperors, and ghost huang. Ten realms correspond to the ten realms of our cultivators, and they are divided into three types: power dao, five yuan fa shu, and auxiliary classes.

  To form a lineup with killing power, you need to consider at least attack, defense, movement, escape, trapping, confusion, and reconnaissance. Calculating this way, it would take seven ghost spirits.

  Even if it's a bit simpler, at least one powerful ghost is responsible for attacking, one agile ghost is responsible for movement, and defense can be supplemented with defensive magic tools or the cultivation of yuanqi shields. Adding a flying magic tool - this is what constitutes a basic combat system, which can attack, defend, dodge, and run.

  But don't forget, as the cultivator's realm advances, the combat system becomes increasingly inadequate, and the required Linggui become stronger and more refined. For example, there are Linggui that assist in cultivation, scouting and exploration, and even assisting in alchemy and array formation...

  Haha, in the end, resources couldn't keep up, and the cultivator had to stop on the path of demonic refinement, turning instead to enhance his magical treasure's divine abilities. But by that time, it would be a bit too late, because magical treasures also have different grades and various divine abilities that require a lot of resources to cultivate.

  Taking the Mo Xian Men's commonly used magic treasure, Li Gui Fan as an example, it is divided into ten ghosts fan, hundred ghosts fan, thousand ghosts fan, up to ten thousand ghosts fan, and hundred million ghosts fan. The ghost souls in them may not be as demanding as the Ling Gui, but they require the cultivator to capture the ghost souls and then refine them for a long time, which also requires a lot of resources."
