"Thank you, Master, for the treasure!" Zhao Di, who was flying in mid-air above the sea, heard a faintly joyful voice in his mind.

  Zhao Di and the black-robed elder of the Ghost Wailing Gate reached a deal that was extremely satisfactory to both parties.

  Zhao Di paid the price of 5,000 spirit stones and copied a complete set of Ghost Gate skills from the old man's hands, as well as a grayish-black small stick about an inch long.

  For Zhao Di, who had an inexhaustible supply of Ling Stones, this was a complete steal!

  As for the old man in black, he could get 5,000 spirit stones and keep his life, losing only a treasure worth several thousand spirit stones, which was also a pretty good deal. So he was also quite satisfied.

  After that, Zhao Di transformed into a flash of light and flew away. As for the two middle-aged men who were left with empty hands, they got what was coming to them. He didn't care about their fate anymore.

  Judging from the strange expression revealed by the black-robed old man before he left, it's likely that these two will also be unable to escape their fate!

  The cultivation method of the Gui school, in the market of Penglai Fairy Island, is rarely circulated, and even if it is, most of them are only at the stage of refining Qi or building foundation. And this old man in black is actually close to the peak of the late foundation-building period. The cultivation methods in his storage bag naturally include those that connect to the Dan-building period of Gui school's cultivation method. However, for a small sect like this, it's natural not to expect it to be a rare top-notch cultivation method. But for Youlan Youruo, it's enough for her and the other girl to cultivate for a while.

  That unassuming grayish-black small rod also has some origin. The name of this treasure is called "Mingqi", which is a specially refined treasure for the body of ghosts, similar to the magic tools used by human monks.

  Because a ghost's body doesn't have flesh, it can't wield the power of magical instruments and treasures like an ordinary cultivator, even if it's forced to do so, the effect will be greatly discounted!

  The practitioners of the Ghost Gate sect have specially developed "Mingqi, Mingbao" for the bodies of ghosts, corresponding to the "Faqi, Fabao" of human practitioners, which can allow the ghostly body to use and exert its full power. This kind of Mingqi Mingbao is naturally not something that human practitioners can drive at will, and its refining method and materials are also vastly different from those of ordinary Faqi Fabao.

  The small rod-shaped nether artifact purchased from the black-robed old man, called "Soul Stunning Rod", is a pretty good top-grade nether artifact, equivalent to a cultivator's top-grade magic weapon, and is quite suitable for the two ghost slaves to use. Although this has little significance for Zhao Di, it at least gives the two women some means of attack.

  At this time, You Ruo was hiding in one of his sleeves, playing with the mini soul-shocking stick, while You Lan was in another sleeve, holding a jade slip, burying her head to read.

  "Youlan, how is it? Have you found a suitable technique?" Zhao asked anxiously.

  "This Ghost Wailing Gate's technique is really not that great, there are many records of the side door left path's soul searching and scouring techniques, but only this 'Three Yin Curse' technique is suitable for our ghostly bodies to cultivate. From the foundation period to the completion period, all the techniques are here, although it looks like a small divine ability, but it's just right for us two sisters to practice." Youlan replied softly.

  "Oh? Let me take a look!" Zhao Di immersed a strand of his divine sense into the jade slip, roughly browsing through it.

  "Hmm! There are many useful secret techniques here! This Soul Fusion Technique can actually merge numerous low-level demon souls into a more powerful soul, which can be controlled by the Ghost Cultivator. It's quite impressive! And this Corpse Control Technique allows for easy manipulation of fresh corpses, and may even bring out some of their former abilities! Hmm, this Soul Alteration Technique is far superior to ordinary Soul Searching Techniques. Not only can it easily obtain any memory from a low-ranking cultivator's mind, but it can also modify parts of it without them being aware! And these few techniques for refining souls are extremely toxic, but they're the foundation for crafting some treasures." Zhao Di roughly read through it and felt like his eyes had been opened, gaining a lot of insight!

  This is because he had little contact with the Ghost Gate monks before, and what he knew about the Ghost Gate monks was limited to the limited records in the classics. And there wasn't a single ghost repair door faction on his Penglai Fairy Island, so it's hard to get information on this aspect in daily life.

  Now that he has taken a look at this technique, he is quite surprised. Although most of it cannot be cultivated due to the technique's reasons, some secret methods that do not require ghost cultivation can be driven, and he plans to use his spare time to cultivate them well.

  As for the "Three Yin Curse", it is indeed a very suitable technique for the two female ghost slaves to practice. Not only because this is a specialized cultivation mantra for the body of ghosts, but also because the divine powers attached to this technique are all auxiliary spells with relatively weak attack power.

  For example, one of the divine abilities recorded is called "Mihunzhou Array". When cast, it can weaken the spiritual consciousness of all cultivators within a range of over 100 square meters, and as the cultivation level increases, the degree of weakening will become stronger.

  If Zhao Di encounters an opponent of equal strength, he can order the two ghostly slaves to cast the "Soul-Confusing Formation", and then coordinate with the divine sense of the Mind-Confusion Bell to attack, which will increase the attacking effect of the Mind-Confusion Bell by a notch!

  Apart from the Soul-Confusing Spell Formation, there are several other spell formations that have similar auxiliary effects.

  The supernatural powers attached to this technique are all auxiliary in nature! This is not surprising, after all, this is the technique left by the human cultivators of the Ghost Gate sect, and they were all prepared for their own ghost slaves and ghost soldiers. Generally speaking, the cultivation of these ghost slaves and ghost soldiers cannot exceed that of their masters, so letting them cultivate some auxiliary supernatural powers would actually be of the greatest help to their masters.

  With Zhao Di's intelligence and wisdom, the reasoning behind it is easy to understand with just a little thought.

  Although he originally didn't have much hope for You Lan and You Ruo, just thinking of them as two absolutely reliable helpers who could help him deal with some trivial matters. However, after spending some time together, he felt that the two women were very intelligent and kind, believing they had great potential and were worth cultivating, thus having the idea of letting them practice suitable martial arts.

  However, practicing this "Three Yin Incantation" requires practicing in places with heavier yin energy to make rapid progress, which is not particularly easy to do.

  Places with heavy yin energy are those where the geology is particularly unusual or where an astonishing number of corpses have been buried.

  As for the refining method of Mingqi and Mingbao, Yu Jian also mentioned it. Although they are all rough records, one method can be applied to all methods. With Zhao Di's current level of refining equipment, he only needs to refer to it slightly and try it out, and he should be able to refine some.

  Apart from this, there are also special "spiritual elixirs" prepared for ghosts to enhance their cultivation and strength, similar to the various pills taken by human cultivators. The difference is that the pills taken by human cultivators are made from spiritual herbs or demon pellets, while the main ingredient for refining ghostly bodies to take pills is high-level demon spirits.

  It's a coincidence that Zhao Di is not lacking in demon souls. He accumulated a large number of third to fifth grade demon souls during the last large-scale demon beast hunt. These demon souls are all stored in several refined soul-gathering bottles, which don't take up space and since Zhao Di doesn't lack spirit stones, he hasn't sold or disposed of them yet. Now they can be put to relatively great use.

  At this point, Zhao Di made a decision. He instructed the two women to comprehend and start practicing the "Three Yin Incantation" as soon as possible, while he would refine a large batch of "Spiritual Elixirs" for You Lan and You Ruo to take during their meditation, helping them quickly enhance their cultivation.

  The two women were naturally very happy and agreed. They immediately began to comprehend the "Three Yin Curse" technique in Zhao Di's sleeve.

  A few days later, Zhao Di was fleeing rapidly in the sea area just a thousand miles away from Wuhou Island. This distance didn't require much time for a Jiedan period cultivator's speed of light escape! Meanwhile, Youlan and You'ruo had also hidden inside the Soul Pearl within their bodies.

  As he approached the fifth island, a black air suddenly flew towards him. Zhao Di slowed down his escape technique and frowned, quietly staring at the approaching black air.

  Hei Qi was still more than twenty miles away, but Zhao Di had already used his divine sense to discern the other's origin. He was undoubtedly a magic gate's Condensation Period cultivator, and judging from his attire, he was likely a high-ranking member of the Blood Intent Gate!

  The first update!
