Chapter Thirty-Four: The Mysterious Ghostly Seal

  ……

  Half an hour later, Shi Dong and Mao Feifei walked out of the library.

  Shi Dong finally chose a strange Ghost-Subduing Spell as his auxiliary cultivation method, and the most powerful Thunder Flash Technique as his attack method.

  The reason why the Ghost-Taming Spell is so extraordinary is that it has been passed down from ancient times in the sect, and is divided into twelve levels. Every three levels promote a rank, starting with only yellow-level magic, but after cultivating to the tenth level, it becomes heavenly-level magic, and can control heavenly-level spirit ghosts. Other Ghost-Taming Spells are not as powerful, at most they can only control earth-level spirit ghosts, and their effect on spirit ghosts is not as great as this spell.

  However, other disciples did not choose this Onmyodo at all, simply because it was too difficult, and it was far from being as easy to learn as other Onmyodos. Moreover, it only had the first six layers of heart method, with the first three layers directly taken from the Zangshu Pavilion, but the fourth to sixth layers were stored in the Zangshu Pavilion of the sect's leader, and each layer of heart method required at least 10,000 points of sect contribution value to exchange.

  The remaining six layers of mind method have been lost.

  To put it bluntly, although the rumored Ghost-Controlling Spell is very powerful, cultivating it to the top level can control heavenly-ranked spirits.

  But firstly, the Tianjie Linggui is just a legend, no one has ever seen it, let alone owned it.

  Secondly, other ghost-suppressing techniques are complete and can control the Earth-level spirit ghosts when cultivated to the top level, but this technique only has half of it and at most can only control the Xuan-level spirit ghosts.

  Thirdly, this method is expensive and difficult to practice, and it's not practical.

  Shi Dong finally chose it, not because his brain was broken, but when he told Huang Xiao Ru that the master asked him to ask if there was a way to solve the problem of the slow cultivation of the four spiritual roots, Huang Xiao Ru immediately recommended this mysterious Ghost-Controlling Spell.

  The reason is that it has a special effect on the refinement of the mind, and if the mind is strong, it can naturally improve the slow problem of the four spiritual roots. Therefore, it is suggested that Shi Dong may practice the three layers first, and in the future, if he wants to continue on the path of ghost control, he can change to other ghost control techniques.

  Shi Dong having grasped the Gambler's Scripture, naturally had made up his mind to follow the path of Taming Ghosts. Of course, taking into consideration Huang Xianru's cautious suggestion, he could also take a mixed approach, that is, while cultivating the Taming Ghosts Technique, prepare some magical artifacts to make up for the inadequacies of the Spirit Ghost Array.

  This way, the strength will be maintained at a relatively high level, and the cost is lower than that of the pure spiritual ghost combat system.

  In fact, most of the small cultivators in the Qi Refining stage are walking on a mixed path, and only after entering the Foundation Building stage, when the resources required for cultivation become increasingly large, do they begin to focus on one aspect.

  "Shi Dong, have you thought about how to proceed with your cultivation from now on?" After leaving the library, Mao Feifei looked up at the sky and suddenly let out a long sigh, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.

  "I've made up my mind to take the path of a Yokai Tamer." Ishi looked at him, "What's wrong, big brother got some concerns?"

  "Yes, this time thanks to my brother's luck, the fourth senior brother taught a lot of things about cultivation, much richer than when I chose magic last time, it really broadened my horizons. But...” He scratched his head and sighed: “I'm obviously still not suitable for the path of ghost control, what suits me best should be the power path, I like close combat, using fists to directly punch people!” As he said this, he clenched his fist and swung it around.

  Shi Dong smiled and said, "I think so too."

  "Really? You think so too?" Mao Feifei happily wrapped her arms around Shi Dong's shoulders, gazing at him with shining eyes.

  "Hmm." Shi Dong nodded, smiling and winking at him, "The Ma family's blacksmiths are best at wielding large hammers. I think you should get a big hammer and chase after the enemy to smash them, that would be fierce!"

  "Wahaha! This is a great idea!" Mao Feifei suddenly jumped up, splitting his mouth open with laughter: "Let's do it, my younger brother. I'll send the Qingling Ghost to you, and then I'll go get a big hammer as a magic weapon."

  His heart warmed up, and he hastily waved his hand. "Don't be in a hurry, big brother! For now, we've just started out, what's important is to go complete the sect's tasks, earn contribution points, and exchange them for the resources needed for cultivation. Your Light Spirit can help you increase your speed, and when combined with the Brutal Spirit Sword, it will also allow you to quickly close in on your opponent for a surprise attack - there's no need to be so anxious about changing equipment." After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Alright, let's do this: we'll split up and cultivate our skills separately. Once we've mastered them, we'll go complete the sect's tasks together. When we earn enough contribution points, I'll help you exchange for new equipment."

  "Alright! Let's do it then, I'll listen to you, brother!" Mao Feifei was overjoyed, and with a big hug on Shi Dong's shoulder, he walked forward with glee.

  His face moved with a hint of a smile, and he thought to himself: "Big Brother has been so kind to me, I must get him an excellent magical weapon! Hmm... if Big Brother takes the path of brute force, then how should my combat system be matched?"

  Inside the book pavilion.

  "Cough, cough." A old servant named Ah Cong suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

  Huang Xiaoru was holding a jade scroll and reading a book, seeing him appear without surprise, he bowed and greeted: "Uncle Cong, you've arrived?"

  "Uh-huh." Ah Cong nodded and asked: "Did that kid choose the Oni Seal?"

  "I chose, following the master's instructions." Huang Xiao replied respectfully: "The disciple spent more than half a time to point out that stone movement, this child is indeed talented and worthy of cultivation."

  "What's lacking?"

  "His ambition is high, but his ability is insufficient. I'm afraid he will find it difficult to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future!" Huang Xiaoru shook his head.

  "You don't have to worry about that anymore, let him choose the Ghost-Beheading Spell, and his talent problem will be solved." Ah Cong said calmly.

  Huang Xiaoru's face showed a hint of hesitation, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle Cong, this set of Yu Gui Jue has already killed 18 disciples before, do we still need to continue experimenting? The sect leader strictly forbids using new disciples for experimentation, if Shi Dong dies while practicing, I'm afraid the sect leader will use it as an excuse to make things difficult for us!"

  Ah Cong glanced at him and said lightly, "Shi Dong is just a small figure, whether he lives or dies will not affect the overall situation. You don't have to worry about it, just do your part."

  "It's all because of your disciple's loose tongue, Uncle Cong's reprimand is justified." Huang Xiao Ru bowed his hands in apology.

  "Hmm, your master and I both trust you, knowing that you have a good heart. Do well! Alas... in today's world, people's hearts are as hard as leather, it's really hard to tell who is good and who is bad... Cough cough..." As he coughed, his figure gradually faded away.

  Huang Xiaoru's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he picked up the jade tablet, continuing to shake his head and recite in a trance-like state, as if nothing had happened.

  A moment later, at the Sit-forgetting Peak, in the residence of Old Demon Yin, a beam of bright light shot in.

  Yin Lao Mo beckoned with his hand, and a bright light fell into his palm, transforming into a transmission talisman.

  He sank his divine sense into the transmission talisman, and after a while, Yin Old Demon sneered: "Good you, Sutu Jin, you actually let Shi Dong practice the Ancestral Ghost Seal. Hmph! Are you challenging my authority?"

  Just as he was about to take action, his face suddenly changed color and he changed his mind: "Hmph, let's wait and see. That Shi Dong only has a mediocre talent, and is also a Four Spirits Root body. Heh heh... with such poor talent, he'll eventually practice himself to death. Why not wait until then to ask for justice? Wouldn't that be even better? Sutu Jin, you have an A-grade talent like Lei Huan, but instead of cultivating him properly, you're wasting your time on this... how will your disciple compare to mine at the upcoming sect competition? Hmph!"

  Suddenly thought of one person, his face sank, "Lin Jueya that girl is indeed troublesome, I think Situ Jin really treasures her. If Ao'er can subdue her, it would save me a lot of trouble. Heh! No rush, let's just wait and see, everything isn't ready yet, let's talk about it after the Yin Luo Sect's secret realm opens six years later!"
