I have 99 innate treasures

After Lingjizi handed the jade slip to Zhang Qianren, he left immediately, leaving Zhang Qianren alone. He sat on the bed holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, looking at the jade slip in his hand in silence.

The black and white hair fell in front of his forehead. The messy ends not only concealed the deep blood color in his eyes, but also covered the black blood vessels that spread across half of his face.

There was a hint of sarcastic sneer on the corner of Zhang Qianren's slightly raised mouth.

As he lowered his head, his scattered hair weakened the faint light from the dim oil lamp, making the lower half of his face vaguely visible in the shadow cast by his hair, highlighting his sinister temperament even more obvious.

"Hey hey hey..."

“Nascent Soul Stage, hehehe, this old man holds an innate treasure, but in the end, he can only deal with Nascent Soul cultivators…”

Ji Yun, who had just come out of the secret realm, was passing by this courtyard with the Soul-Nourishing Altar in his arms. When he heard these words, his heart suddenly moved.

"Innate treasure?"

"Could it be that Senior Zhang Qianren lives in this courtyard?"

When this thought flashed through his mind, Ji Yun finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and walked into the courtyard cautiously.

Zhang Qianren's courtyard was very simple. There was only one big house in the whole courtyard. The road leading from the gate to the big house was paved with gravel. At the end of the road, there were two stone lamps, one on the left and one on the right.

At this time, the door of the main room was wide open. Ji Yun walked on the gravel road to the window, leaned against the wall, and looked at Zhang Qianren through the window with his peripheral vision.

He was seen holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang in one hand and a jade slip in the other, sitting on the bed with his head lowered and sneering.

What surprised Ji Yun was that Zhang Qianren was clearly in the range of the light emitted by the oil lamp, but his entire body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible haze, which made him clearly feel the other person's sinisterness and loneliness.

"He is obviously the first person to possess an innate treasure, why does he look so miserable?"

"Also... the aura he exudes is very strange. It makes people feel cold even if they are just a few meters away from him."

Just when Ji Yun was puzzled by this, the soul-nourishing altar in his arms trembled slightly.

"what happened?"

Ji Yun lowered his head to glance at the Soul Nurturing Altar, then reached out and gently patted the altar, signaling the ghost servants in the altar to be quiet.

But after he slapped it like this, the jar shook even more violently.

Ji Yun was worried that Zhang Qianren in the room would discover him, so he could only hold on to the Soul Nurturing Altar tightly and leave the courtyard quietly.

When he returned to his room, he immediately opened the lid of the soul-nourishing altar. He saw the thick yin energy condense into smoke, which slowly floated out of the altar and finally condensed into a young woman wearing a dark purple robe, with a dark face, pale eyes, and disheveled hair.

As soon as her figure condensed, the cold aura emanating from her body caused a layer of frost to form on the wooden table where the soul-nourishing altar was placed.

Ji Yun was used to her terrifying face. Even though it was late at night, he did not feel scared. Instead, he asked, "Aunt Lu? Why did you keep shaking the Soul Cultivation Altar?"

Since the last time he came out of the secret realm, he accumulated enough points and entered the secret realm again, swallowing another twenty-two ghosts through the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot.

The ghost he called 'Aunt Lu' was a ghost servant that he nurtured through the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra" and the Soul Nourishing Altar, and that was created by swallowing up forty-nine ghosts that were refined by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot (27 ghosts he took away when he first entered the secret realm, plus the subsequent 22).

There is a passage in the Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra: The ghost servant devours the resentment, evil spirit, consciousness, and soul power of the ghost through this technique, and then passes 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 consequences, making this Yin energy seem like the Yin energy he has cultivated day and night.

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

The power of this technique lies in the fact that it ignores spiritual roots, aptitude, state of mind, and does not require the consumption of resources.

However, if a ghost servant practices this technique, it will be unable to devour the Yin Qi of the ghost soul, and its growth rate will slow down, and it will eventually become a "servant". In Huangquan Dao Sect, the ghost servants raised by the disciples through the "Soul Raising Altar" and the refined corpses raised by other means are the confidence to ensure that they can survive when they are weak and encounter emergencies.

The ghost servant is to the disciple, which is equivalent to the protector beside the Taoist priest of the holy land.

After all, they don't need to consider qualifications, as long as they have enough resources, they can quickly improve their cultivation.

This technique is equivalent to sacrificing the advantage of the rapid improvement of the ghost and converting it into the disciple's cultivation.

In addition, as the ghost servant absorbs more and more negative emotions such as resentment and evil spirits, when its own cultivation can no longer suppress them, it will retaliate against its master.

Before cultivating the primordial spirit, no one can withstand the evil thoughts of the ghost servant.

But Ji Yun had already consulted the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot and knew that he only needed to refine most of the ghost's consciousness and leave only a single consciousness to avoid this disadvantage, allowing him and the ghost servant to grow together.

After the forty-nine ghosts were refined by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot, only the emotion of "resentment" remained, which was then devoured by the ghosts he raised in the Soul-Raising Altar, and eventually gave birth to "Aunt Lu" whose cultivation was comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Because Aunt Lu was born not long ago, she has not yet completely digested the soul power and yin energy of the other forty-nine ghosts, so she is unable to provide him with feedback on his cultivation.

At this moment, Aunt Lu's pair of pale eyes without a trace of humanity revealed a cold gaze, staring at him without blinking, and said in a sinister voice: "That Jindan cultivator has been possessed by a demon. If he finds you and me, you and I will never survive."

Her voice was like a cold wind blowing by, and although her body was close to me, her voice seemed extremely ethereal.

When Ji Yun heard her say this, he immediately remembered the day he became an outer disciple and heard an elder say that Zhang Qianren had been possessed by a demon.

"No wonder I feel cold all over my body even when I'm standing outside the window."

Ji Yun's eyes showed realization, and he patted his chest in fear.

He has been busy raising ghosts recently and has forgotten about this matter.

Aunt Lu did not respond. After seeing Ji Yun understand the seriousness of the matter, she turned into Yin Qi and returned to the Soul Nurturing Altar.

Compared to the outside world, she prefers the dark and humid soul-nourishing altar.

Ji Yun casually closed the lid of the soul-nourishing altar, then returned to the bed, sat cross-legged and began to practice the "Northern Yin Soul Refining Sutra".

With his aptitude of 1 spiritual root and 6 wood spiritual roots, there would be no results even if he practiced for one night, but Ji Yun still persevered.

In his opinion, even if he couldn't cultivate spiritual energy, being more familiar with the meridians was better than doing nothing.

Ever since the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot gave him 41 years of lifespan, 80 points of luck, six wood spiritual roots, soul strength +1, and body strength +1 from Zhao Mu and others, there are now two Qi-refining monks in the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot has completely refined the eight ghosts that it collected from the secret realm today, it will bring him feedback again.

Ji Yun was looking forward to this very much. After all, only after becoming strong could he safely pass the outer sect assessment the day after tomorrow and get one step closer to his sister Ji Yu.

At the same time, Yao Yuqing also placed all the eleven low-grade immortal artifacts, one hundred and twenty semi-immortal artifacts, and one top-grade immortal artifact (Shenxiao Whisk) that he had snatched from the Shenxiao Sect but had not had time to hand over to the Wuji Bracelet.

During this period of time, she had always wanted to appear in front of Liang Huayu through the clone that had remained deep in Liang Huayu's memory, so as to completely destroy him and Yao Qingqing.

But strangely, no matter how she tried, she would eventually be blocked by a glass wall.

"Liang Huayu is only merging with the Dao inside the Dinghai Divine Pearl, but he is not merging with the Dinghai Divine Pearl. Why can't he descend to his side?"

At this time, Yao Yuqing saw that the Wuji bracelet had begun to devour those low-grade immortal artifacts and semi-immortal artifacts, and began to think about this problem. (End of this chapter)
