Chapter 271: Old Days Dream (1/2)

”Congratulations, you've indeed broken through.”

When the female ghost, Qin Shuman, followed Jiang Li out of the Seven Roads Ghost City, she was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment realm ghost.

Later on, when she cultivated in the Yin Burial Coffin, her cultivation level rose astonishingly. After she reached the boundary of the next realm, she was given two True Cores by Jiang Li.

The True Cores of the Corpse Coffin Twin Devils were not very useful to Jiang Li, but to Qin Shuman, they were great supplements.

The cultivation realms of orthodox ghost cultivators could roughly be divided into: Yin Harvest, Soul Condensation, Ghost Core, Fallen Nascent, Body Possession, Ghost King, and many other stages.

Among them, the Ghost Core was divided into three stages: Spirit Devouring, Essence Devouring, and Soul Devouring.

This Ghost Core realm was basically equivalent to a human cultivator's Core Formation.

As for the Spirit Devouring, Essence Devouring, and Soul Devouring, these three stages corresponded to the Void Core, True Core, and Golden Core stages.

After absorbing two True Core Cultivators and using the Illusory Art Life Record of Shu Mountain, the current Qin Shuman had already successfully formed the Ghost Core. Moreover, she had crossed the Spirit Devouring stage and broken through to the Essence Devouring stage, becoming a Ghost Core realm Essence Devouring ghost cultivator.

”It's all thanks to your grace that Shuman could have this day. I have no way of repaying your kindness. I can only repay your kindness by offering myself.”

After Qin Shuman finished speaking, her pale lips opened slightly and she spat out a white round pill.

Then, she brought it to Jiang Li.

This was her Illusory Life Ghost Core. The meaning of this was to expose her weakness without holding back and let Jiang Li leave a mark on her Ghost Core, representing the submission of a loyal follower.

The methods Jiang Li had set up for her during the Qi Refinement realm were naturally not of much use to Qin Shuman, who had already reached the Essence Devouring Ghost Core realm.

However, before Jiang Li could say anything, Qin Shuman took the initiative to offer the Ghost Core and let him set up another restriction.

What she did not know was that after absorbing so much Yin Burial spiritual qi from Jiang Li, the unique mark was already inseparable from her.

Even if she really had ulterior motives, she could not escape his control.

However, Qin Shuman's actions touched Jiang Li a little.

”There's no need for that. Don't worry, it's time for you to repay me. Don't resist me.”

Jiang Li received the Ghost Core and swallowed it.

Qin Shuman was stunned and did not understand what was going on.

Jiang Li reached out again and tapped her forehead with his finger, pulling out the ghost body hidden inside.

Then, he ate her too.

Qin Shuman only felt the world spin as she fell into a mental world with five huge mountains spinning around.

Before she could react, she turned around the huge tree. A vine flew over and tied her up, pulling her all the way to the ancient tree. She was tied up in an inverted posture and could not move at all.

”Wait, this tree is absorbing my power! Young Master, save me!”

[Nine Nether Soul Binding has successfully captured a ghost. Added Status: Illusory Life Ghost Spirit]

[Illusory Life Ghost Spirit: Illusion Talent+10, Mind attribute+10, Yin-attribute spiritual qi +200%, Illusory Life spiritual qi +10,000. Duration: 7 days] (− +)

Jiang Li did not reply immediately. At this moment, Jiang Li was staring at his interface.

A new status popped up on his interface.

This was an additional ability gained after the Nine Nether Dao Scripture reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

He could bind a ghost in his body and share its talent and ability to a certain extent.

In fact, the simplest Spirit Summoning Technique had a similar ability.

However, when using the Soul Summoning Technique, the control of the body was not completely in his hands, and he could not truly share the ability of ghosts. It was just that ghosts were controlling the cultivator's body to fight.

It was far inferior to the brilliance of the Nine Nether Dao Scripture.

Unfortunately, the cooldown time for activating this ability was a little long, so Jiang Li could not use it often to increase his attributes.

After changing this status to an infinite amount of time, Jiang Li controlled the Nine Nether Wood in his mental world and released Qin Shuman.

The female ghost, Qin Shuman, was still in shock. She thought that she was eaten just now.

After hearing Jiang Li's words, she finally relaxed.

”Stay in my body for the time being. I might be able to use your strength today.”

After adjusting his condition, he walked out of the room.

The Ink Child trial he was going to try today should be taking place in an illusion.

With Qin Shuman's talent in illusions, Jiang Li was naturally more confident with her around.

This time, it was still the two ordinary Core Formation cultivators who came to welcome him. However, there was also Aunt Mei, who had originally followed beside Zi Yao.

Aunt Mei was holding a series of complicated and exquisite keys.

This time, they changed direction and headed deeper into the core of Thousand Sieve City.

The string of 17 keys opened 17 sturdy trap doors in succession.

It was not enough to just get the key. Every key had a different turning method.

Once they turned the wrong way, not only would the door be locked, but they would also spring out powerful mechanisms to kill the intruders.

As expected of the city's core, its defense was practically watertight.
