I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 308 Ghost Servant
The wooden house that Huangquan Dao Zong arranged for Ji Yun was a full hour's journey from the market town.

He held the body of the Soul-Nourishing Altar tightly with his arms and pressed his chin on the lid. He had been walking without stopping since coming out of the secret realm.

After returning to the house, he did not relax, but placed the soul-nourishing altar on the table, continuing to press it with his chin. He held the altar tightly with one hand and took out the "Beiyin Soul Refining Sutra" he had copied from his arms with the other hand and looked at it carefully.

During this period, the soul-raising altar would shake for a moment from time to time due to the impact of the ghosts.

But as time went by, the shaking became less and less severe.

When Ji Yun was copying in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, all his attention was focused on the handwriting, and he had no time to look at the specific content.

When I started to read it seriously at this time, I gradually understood a lot of the content.

The two outer disciples I first met in the secret realm mentioned during their conversation that when a ghost servant devours ten ghosts, it will retaliate against its master because it cannot suppress its resentment and evil spirit.

This is explained in detail in the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra". When the ghost servants were first born, their consciousness was relatively weak, and each ghost would more or less remember some memory fragments.

Once the ghost servant begins to devour those ghosts, these memory fragments will also be absorbed by the ghost servant. When the time in the memory fragments overlaps, its consciousness will be divided into several parts and form multiple personalities.

When these newly born consciousness and personalities disrupt the ghost servant's own consciousness, its main consciousness can no longer take charge.

At that time, the ghost servant was a violent entity that was a gathering of dozens of consciousnesses and possessed dozens of personalities.

And the backlash results from this.

"So that's how it is..."

Ji Yun's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.

Then he frowned again. When he chose this technique from the technique book, he had thought that if a ghost servant devoured its master in the future, he would use the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot to refine it.

Ji Yun originally thought that the ghost servant's ability to devour his master was a drawback of the technique, but after carefully reading the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra", an idea involuntarily emerged in his mind.

"If we refine the consciousness of the other ghosts and only leave the pure ghost body, and the ghost servant absorbs it, won't there be no more trouble?"

"If this is possible, the ghost servant can continue to improve through the Yin spirit, thus bringing me more cultivation!"

Ji Yun's thoughts gradually expanded, and he even thought about the more distant future.

"When the Yin soul can no longer satisfy the ghost servant, I can completely buy the ghost servants from other brothers who practice the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra" like a certain inner sect brother did, and use their ghost servants to improve my own ghost servants."

But the biggest problem facing him now is how to devour only the consciousness of the ghost and leave behind the pure ghost body.

Thinking of this, his consciousness immediately sank into the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot and began to communicate with the remaining spirituality of this treasure.

After hearing his question, the Devouring Heaven Demon Pot used a paragraph of consciousness to explain to him: "The ghosts are formed by the residual souls, and the residual souls are incomplete pieces of consciousness, which is also an important reason for their bodies. Without consciousness, their bodies cannot remain intact and will become a ball of pure Yin Qi, which will eventually dissipate between heaven and earth."

'The reason why ghost servants are stronger than ghosts and can become stronger by devouring ghosts is that they absorb the resentment, decline, sadness, attachment, evil, loneliness, evil, pain, cruelty and other emotions in the consciousness of other ghosts, thereby amplifying these emotions of their own, and even becoming so strong that they affect the senses of the monks, creating the illusion that ghosts are entities. ''But from the beginning to the end, ghosts are illusory and invisible, and are condensed from Yin Qi. '

'If a ghost does not have these emotions, but appears to be powerful and conscious because it has accumulated too much Yin Qi, it will lose the ability to affect the senses of the cultivators, and because of the weakness of the soul, it will not be able to control the huge amount of Yin Qi and will become an ordinary ghost again.'

'Unless one of their single emotions is infinitely strengthened, such as a fierce ghost with deep hatred, a wicked ghost with malice to the sky, or a resentful ghost with resentment as deep as the sea.'

After learning these contents, Ji Yun asked the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot whether it was possible to devour only part of the ghost's emotions and leave only a single emotion.

Such operation is naturally very simple for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot.

After receiving confirmation from this precious treasure, Ji Yun immediately grinned.

The main reason why he wanted to train the ghost servant was because of a passage in the technique book that commented on the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra": The ghost servant devoured the resentment, evil spirit, consciousness, and soul power of the ghost through this technique, and then passed the refined Yin spiritual energy to the master in the form of "initiation". And by practicing this technique, the master can use this Yin spiritual energy for his own use without any future troubles, making this Yin energy seem like he has cultivated it day and night.

In other words, the stronger the ghost servant's cultivation is, the more cultivation he will gain in return.

He immediately continued to wait, and if he felt sleepy, he would keep this posture and close his eyes and sleep.

Unknowingly, twelve hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the ghosts in the Soul Nurturing Altar fell into complete silence.

Ji Yun followed the steps recorded in the "Bei Yin Soul Refining Sutra", bit his left index finger, opened the lid of the soul-nourishing altar, and finally inserted his finger into it and squeezed out a drop of blood.

After doing all this, he closed the lid again, then picked up the "Bei Yin Soul Refining Sutra" that he had copied down and recited the cultivation content in it.

In the next six days, he needs to feed the ghost a drop of blood every day, and he needs to spend at least five hours every day reciting the cultivation content.

It was not until six days later, when the ghost had become accustomed to his blood and breath, and had memorized this information, that he could be released for simple exchanges and communication, and to complete the process of recognizing his master.

After that, you can let it devour other ghosts. The ghosts fed with human blood will naturally be stronger than normal ghosts due to the interaction between yin and yang.

After it devours the ghost, it will naturally feed back his cultivation through the contents of the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra".

Ji Yun, who had memorized the entire process, was finally able to stand up and stretch his long-inactive muscles. He then placed the soul-nourishing altar in the shade under the bed, locked the door, and went to the restaurant in the Immortal House to eat.

At the same time, the monks who were guarding the secret realm in the Illusion Hall also discovered that five monks were missing in the Yinhun Secret Realm.

But their disappearance did not cause any ripples in the outer sect.

The monks guarding the secret realm were already accustomed to this kind of thing. After they took a quick look around the secret realm and found no one, they directly reported to the deacon of the Hall of Illusion that the person was dead and buried on the spot.

The deacon did not take it seriously and threw it aside without even looking at it.
