Chapter 35 Harvest
The Dark Ghost Scattered Person actually died just like that! Mo Bai and the other three were unable to believe it, their eyes wide with shock, their faces full of astonishment. How exactly did Fang Li defeat the Dark Ghost Scattered Person, they were very puzzled. However, the corpse not far away with a throat pierced by a sword told them that this matter had indeed occurred.
Fang Li didn't intend to explain anything to them, and instead walked over to the corpse of the Yin Ghost Wanderer on his own, first taking the Five Ghost Copper Ring that was tightly grasped in his hand.
The yin ghost valued this copper ring very much and even after death, he still held it tightly in his hand. Fang Li had to use a lot of force to finally take it off.
"Received." Fang Li silently recited in his heart, and under the input of true energy, the Copper Ring's Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Array was immediately activated, establishing a connection with those five ghostly souls.
Taking a look at the cultivation of these five ghosts, Fang Li couldn't help but be shocked. Among them, four had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, which was already astonishing, but one of them had actually reached the seventh level of Qi Refining!
Fang Li secretly congratulated himself, fortunately the Yin Ghost Scattered People were not formation masters, otherwise he would have let these five ghost souls get close to him and he would have been dead for sure.
Just as Fang Li was sighing in admiration, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept past his face.
Fang Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, then let out a cold snort. "You've ruined the souls of so many people, and you still think you can reincarnate? You're delusional!"
After finishing speaking, Fang Lixin's mind moved and his divine sense scanned the surroundings. He immediately discovered the yin ghost dispersing human souls and lightly shouted, "Gui Er, swallow his soul."
Guǐ èr is a name casually given by Fāng Lì. In order to better distinguish the five ghostly spirits in the copper ring, Fāng Lì named them according to their strength: Guǐ Dà (Ghost One), Guǐ èr (Ghost Two), Guǐ Sān (Ghost Three), Guǐ Sì (Ghost Four), and Guǐ Wǔ (Ghost Five). Guǐ Dà is at the Seventh Realm of Qi Refining, with the strongest power.
These five ghosts were worn down by the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Formation and had long since lost their sense of self, only knowing to obey orders. Now that Fang Li has spoken, Gui Er naturally didn't dare not comply, and immediately pounced on the scattered souls of the Yin Ghosts.
The dark ghost wanted to escape, but after struggling for a few moments, it was swallowed by Ghost Two's huge mouth.
The Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Formation is called an evil formation, not just because it requires capturing five ghost souls to fill the formation, but more importantly, it is itself a technique for cultivating ghosts. As long as the five main ghosts are determined, this formation takes effect thoroughly, and these five main ghosts are equivalent to the array eye, which cannot be changed. If you want to increase the power of this formation, the only way is to enhance the strength of these five main ghosts.
It's not easy to enhance the strength of the five main ghosts, apart from some special heavenly materials and yin dan, they can only rely on devouring other ghostly spirits to advance, which is a harm to the heavens.
If Fang Li's guess is correct, Gui Da should have advanced to the Seventh Realm of Refining Qi because he swallowed the soul of Du Renshan, who had mastered the "Thunderbolt Palm".
Although the art of raising ghosts is harmful to heaven and harmony, Fang Li does not intend to give up. The Great Qi State has always been respected for its strength, without distinction between good and evil. As long as one adheres to principles and does not arbitrarily provoke cause and effect, there should be no great harm.
Of course, Fang Li wouldn't recklessly devour other people's souls. He also knew about the concept of karma, although with his current cultivation level, he couldn't truly understand what karma was. Still, he didn't dare to indulge excessively, and for someone like Yin Gui San Ren who had committed countless evils, even if he did devour him, it wouldn't add much karma to his body.
It is said that ignorance is bliss. Fang Li only cares about the present and doesn't think too much, he just knows that the Five Ghosts' Copper Ring can greatly enhance his own strength, which is enough.
Gui Er's ghostly aura suddenly became four to five times thicker after devouring the soul of Yin Gui San Ren. Fang Li felt inexplicable joy, and at this rate of growth, it was likely that after devouring a few more souls of Lian Qi Liu Chong cultivators, Gui Er would be able to advance to Lian Qi Qi Chong.
After checking, Fang Li put all five main ghosts into the copper ring. At this time, his spiritual realm was not enough to comprehend the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Array, so he didn't study it further and instead put it in the Qiankun bag as a trump card for survival.
With the five ghostly copper rings on his body, Fang Li was no longer afraid of a Seventh-Order cultivator. Even if it were an Eighth-Order master, Fang Li had confidence in being able to retreat unscathed.
However, Wu Gui Tong Huan Fang Li did not dare to use it casually. He knew the principle of "an innocent man wearing a jade pendant will be guilty", if others knew he had such an artifact, they would definitely fight to rob him. The five main ghosts in the Five Ghosts Copper Ring may not be strong now, but with good cultivation, they might grow up to the foundation stage, and controlling five foundation-stage ghost souls against enemies, those big family's Taishang elders will surely be envious.
Thinking of this, Fang Li couldn't help but look at Mo Bai and the other two. At this time, the three were still lying on the ground, presumably still not having recovered from the shock of Yin Gui's death.
Jian Fangli's gaze fell on himself and others, Mo Bai's face suddenly changed. He had been hiding outside for some time, and his experience was naturally not comparable to those two juniors. At this moment, seeing Jian Fangli suddenly look over, he had already guessed his concerns, and was immediately frightened pale.
The cruelty of the Xiuzhen world was already clear to Mo Bai long ago. Now that this young man has obtained the Five Ghosts Copper Ring, a precious treasure, he naturally doesn't want others to know about it, lest it leak out and bring great trouble. As the saying goes, "A dead friend is not a poor friend," it seems that this young man has already harbored murderous intentions towards people like him. Thinking of this, Mo Bai couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
"You can see why I'm looking at you three?" Fang Li came to Mo Bai's front, suddenly opening his mouth to say, his face somewhat pale.
I knew it!
Seeing Fang Li's expression, Mo Bai had almost confirmed his conjecture in his heart, and he was instantly bitter. At this time, he was seriously injured and had no power to resist, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
"Kill me." Mo Bai said calmly, and then lifted his neck.
At this time, Liang Qi and Wen Xuan also reacted, suddenly looking at Fang Li with vigilance.
Fang Li gripped the long sword tightly, standing still for a long time. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I suppose you also know my concerns, but a month ago you advised me and we can be considered to have formed a good relationship. Now that I'm supposed to kill you, I don't want to do it."
He said, "However, I also hope you remember that if I save your lives, you will keep this a secret for me. That way, we can consider the matter settled between us. If news of the Five Ghosts' Copper Ring leaks out, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will take back your lives."
After finishing speaking, Fang Li returned to the corpse of Yin Gui San Ren and searched his body for a few more items before leaving without staying.
Mo Bai watched as Fang Li walked away, and for a moment he still couldn't believe it. He had actually just left like that, without killing him! Amidst the relief, Mo Bai also felt a hint of gratitude in his heart.
There was still half a month left before the Lunar New Year, but Fang Li had no intention of returning so soon. Instead, he found another secluded cave and moved in.
At this time, Fang Li was excited for no reason, not only because he got the five ghost copper rings, but also because the few items found on the body of the Yin Ghost Scattered People were also valuable.
Fang Li searched through the scattered items in Yin Gui's pocket and found three things, apart from a valuable bank note worth 400 crystal stones, the remaining two were surprisingly related to Array Masters.
One of them was an ancient book with the five big words "Yin Yang Two Rituals Array" written on it. Fang Li only took a glance and knew that this was a detailed explanation of the Yin Yang Two Rituals Array. The Yin Yang Two Rituals Array is a third-level array method, equivalent to an advanced version of the Water Fire Two Rituals Array, with power far surpassing the latter by more than one or two levels.
Fang Lizhi's spiritual realm had long broken through the third stage, and he had been struggling to find a suitable formation to comprehend. Now, however, it was possible to fill in the blanks.
Not only that, the layout method of Yin and Yang two instruments array and water and fire two instruments array have seven similarities, it will be much simpler to understand, if you can master this three-stage array method, Fang Li has already been a third-class array method master.
Another item was a jade stone in the shape of a key. Fang Li inserted his divine sense into it and found that it had a treasure map carved inside. After studying it for a while, Fang Li discovered that the location indicated by the treasure map was actually in the Misty Mountains, but it was deep within the mountains. Fang Li didn't dare to go there now. There were many demon beasts that had broken through the tenth stage inside, and they were not something he could handle at present.
Seeing this, Fang Li felt a little regretful. At least before he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it was impossible for him to obtain the treasure on this treasure map.
If it were an ordinary treasure map, perhaps it wouldn't be too surprising, but on that jade key was clearly engraved seven small words - "Ghost Array King Xiao Chen Dust Left".
Xiao Chen was unknown to Fang Li, but the title "Ghost Array King" made him tremble. Those who dared to call themselves array kings were generally sixth-grade array masters. If others knew that the Misty Mountains had a treasure left behind by a sixth-grade array master, they would probably attract many Golden Elixir stage experts.
Put away the jade stone key and stop thinking about it. Begin to close your eyes and regulate your breath. The four tribes will arrive soon, so you must make good preparations for yourself.
