Chapter 574: Mixed Harvests(1/3)
The ghost of the middle-aged man in front of him was not actually a ghost cultivator. Zhou Chun was very surprised by this situation.
Because in his understanding, only the legendary ghost cultivators can survive for thousands of years and still maintain their own consciousness!
As for the information about ghost cultivators, Zhou Chun had seen it from the classics he had obtained by killing demon cultivators before.
It is said that this is an alternative form of immortality. The lifespan of a ghost cultivator of the same level can often be more than ten times that of an immortal cultivator of the same level!
However, the method of ghost cultivation is very rare. If you want to become a ghost cultivator, the requirements for the cultivation level of the immortal cultivator are also very high, and the minimum level must be at the Zifu stage!
But in fact, according to the records in the classics, even if the Zifu period monks have the method of ghost cultivation and gather the spiritual objects for transformation, the success rate is less than 10%!
The monks who are relatively easy to successfully convert to ghost cultivation are the Nascent Soul Stage monks.
After the cultivation level reaches the Nascent Soul stage, as long as there are suitable conditions and ghost cultivation methods, the success rate of transformation is as high as 70%. Once successful, the lifespan can last for ten thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years!
However, although ghost cultivators have a long lifespan, they also have many shortcomings.
First, every breakthrough into a major realm will lead to a powerful catastrophe. The power of the catastrophe is several times stronger than that of the demon clan of the same level!
Under such circumstances, once you turn into a ghost cultivator, you will basically lose the possibility of pursuing the path. No ghost cultivator can survive such a terrifying catastrophe!
The second is that ghost cultivators can only stay in the land of Yin evil. Once they leave the land of Yin evil, the ghost body and body will collapse due to the loss of the support of Yin evil energy. Not only will the strength of the ghost body plummet, but also the ghost body and body will collapse.
After the collapse, both body and soul were destroyed!
Such restrictions lead to the fact that once a monk turns to ghost cultivation, he becomes a real "earth-bound spirit". In the future, he can only move in a small area and is not allowed to be free. This is incompatible with the freedom of immortality pursued by the Legend of Immortality
It's putting the cart before the horse.
In addition, ghost cultivators have other shortcomings, big and small, such as being afraid of sunlight, being restrained by lightning and Yang attribute real fire, being unable to truly enjoy food and wine without a physical body, and being unable to have offspring, etc.!
To sum up, even those monks who have mastered the method of ghost cultivation may not be willing to truly transform into ghost cultivation.
Master Xuan Sha was a monk in the Nascent Soul stage during his lifetime. If he had mastered the method of ghost cultivation and transformed into a ghost cultivator before his death, it would not be unusual to be able to live to this day and retain the memories of his life.
Therefore, when Zhou Chun discovered that the Yin Ling evil ghost gradually gained independent consciousness under the thunder and fire, and his aura began to change, he thought of the ghost cultivator and thought that the ghost of the middle-aged man in front of him was transformed into a ghost cultivator.
Xuansha Zhenren.
Who would have thought it wasn’t!
Surprised at this moment, Zhou Chun couldn't help but ask directly: "Since you have not followed the path of ghost cultivation, how can you, a real person, retain your consciousness now?"
This is somewhat offensive.
But the remnant soul of Master Xuan Sha in front of him was no match for him. It could even be said that life and death were already in his hands, so Zhou Chun didn't need to worry about anything.
The ghost of the middle-aged man seemed to understand this, and did not express any response to Zhou Chun's offense. He just replied lightly: "I don't know this either. It may be that the special environment here allows my residual soul to possess
If you have some characteristics of ghost cultivators, it may be that I have practiced some mysterious skills during my lifetime!"
He didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need to lie.
This forced Zhou Chun to re-evaluate the situation here.
If the souls of monks can really undergo some natural transformation here, similar to ghost cultivation, then this place can also be called a treasure.
However, Zhou Chun believes that the real situation favors the latter.
After all, the ghost of the middle-aged man in front of me also said that he was just the remnant soul of Xuan Sha, who had lost many memories.
Maybe Master Xuansha actually saw the method of ghost cultivation and chose to switch to the method of ghost cultivation when he died.
But don’t dwell on this now. After all, since the ghost of the middle-aged man in front of you said he doesn’t know, there’s no point in asking any more questions.
It’s better to ask something realistic!
So Zhou Chun quickly looked at the ghost of the middle-aged man and asked: "Does the real senior still remember the experience of giving birth to a baby? Is there any magical power and secret technique that can be taught to this junior? Do you know where to go with the storage bags and other relics from your lifetime?
Where?"
The ancestors of the Zhou family also produced several golden elixir stage monks, so they left behind a lot of experience in elixir formation.
But there is no more notes on the experience of transforming elixirs and forming babies.
These things are the secrets of all major forces, and even if they are about to be wiped out, they will not be leaked to benefit the enemy.
Perhaps after Zhou Chun reaches the late stage of Jindan, he can collect some experiences on childbirth summarized by monks in the Nascent Soul stage at a high cost, but whether the exchanged experience on childbirth is true, and how much of the real situation is recorded
, there is no way to explain clearly.
Therefore, it is now a rare opportunity to obtain the experience of transforming elixirs into infants, so Zhou Chun naturally wants to obtain this item first.
"How do you feel about the birth of a baby? I do remember some of it!"
After the ghost of the middle-aged man said this, he asked Zhou Chun for a blank jade slip, imprinting his own experience of transforming elixirs into infants into it.
Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said: "As for magical powers and secret arts, I can only remember a few of the most commonly used secret arts and magical powers during my lifetime. If you want to practice it, it is a good thing and it can be considered as continuing this inheritance.
Got it!"
Then he asked Zhou Chun for a few blank jade slips and left behind a technique and four methods for cultivating magical powers and secret arts, as well as his cultivation experience.
After doing this, he sighed softly: "As for the relics of my lifetime, they should be in the dark room under the ruins of this temple, but I don't know how many things are still available.
Got it!"
Speaking of this, he also looked at Zhou Chun with blank eyes and said: "Can I ask Fellow Daoist Zhou for a small favor? Can Fellow Daoist send me and the remains of those comrades back to the human area to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters?"
Buried in a land!”
Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded without hesitation and said: "This is natural! Senior Zhenzhen sacrificed his life for the great cause of our human race. Since this junior is lucky enough to be here, it is natural that his remains should be sent back to his hometown for burial!
"
"This will be a big help to you fellow Taoist!"
The middle-aged man's ghost suddenly saluted Zhou Chun, and then without waiting for Zhou Chun's response, his body suddenly ignited with dark black flames, and he took the initiative to set himself on fire.
"What a decisive decision! Do you really dislike living too long and want to get rid of it as soon as possible?"
Looking at the embers left behind after the middle-aged man's ghost self-immolated, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He actually somewhat understands the other person's thoughts.
Since he is not following the path of ghost cultivation, and there is only a remnant soul left, and he has been fighting for a long time with the soul of his enemy in life for tens of thousands of years, I guess he has no idea about living, but his instinct is not to let the soul of his life be lost.
The enemy's soul just devours you!
Now, with the help of Zhou Chun, he finally gained the upper hand, regained the dominance, and retrieved his past memories. Naturally, he wanted to take the initiative to end everything when he was awake.
Otherwise, if we continue to delay and wait for the soul body to gradually begin to recover under the nourishment of the evil spirit here, the soul thoughts of the "Earth Dog Clan" people in the body that have not been completely wiped out will definitely come back and compete with them for the dominance of the soul body again.
Make his consciousness sink again!
Just understanding is one thing. If it were him, Zhou Chun really didn't dare to guarantee whether he could be as decisive as the other party.
He has always been afraid of death!
After sighing, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to search the dark room under the temple. Instead, he first read the information in a few jade slips in his hand, and the focus was naturally on the experience of transforming elixirs and forming babies.
"So that's it, is this the process of transforming elixirs into babies? So, in addition to baby-making treasures such as the [Infant Transformation Pill], I also need to try my best to collect some things that can help overcome the 'Inner Demon Tribulation'
Only the treasures will do!”
After reading Master Xuansha's notes on how to have a baby, Zhou Chun felt that he had gained a lot and learned many details and secrets.
For example, the process of transforming elixirs and forming babies is not necessarily as fast as possible. Some powerful forces in the world of immortality have mastered secret methods that are helpful in forming babies. Such secret methods often delay the process of transforming elixirs and forming babies to increase the success rate.
In addition, the "Heart Demon Tribulation" is not completely traceless. Before cultivating immortals, they try their best to resolve the past grudges and hatreds to make themselves in a satisfactory state of mind, which can make their "Heart Demon Tribulation" stronger.
.
At the same time, some special heaven and earth spiritual objects and magical powers can also have the effect of reducing the power of "Inner Demon Tribulation".
Moreover, overcoming the "Inner Demon Tribulation" must be done in one go, and cannot be done forcefully.
Otherwise, if you make yourself mentally and physically exhausted while going through the "Inner Demon Tribulation", you will not be able to use your full strength to deal with the subsequent Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
Except for a few of the Yingying monks who fell under the thunder tribulation of heaven, most of them had barely survived the "Heart Demon Tribulation" due to bumps and bumps in the process, resulting in the inability to exert their full potential.
Use all your strength to overcome the disaster.
These details are not known by a force like the Zhou family that has never had a Nascent Soul stage monk.
It is impossible to record such things in those cultivation classics. At most, they only briefly describe the process, and most of them are vague and have little reference value at all.
To Zhou Chun and the Zhou family, the value of such a baby-making experience is even greater than a top-grade magic weapon.
After all, high-grade magic weapons can only increase the fighting strength of the Golden Core monks, but the experience of forming a baby can give the Golden Core monks the hope of transforming the elixir into a baby!
After gaining a lot of experience in conceiving a baby, Zhou Chun became more curious about the exercises and magical powers and secrets recorded on the remaining jade slips, and immediately started to check and study them one by one.
The skill is the skill practiced by Master Xuansha, called "Hundred Shas Xuan Gong". Judging from the nature of the skill, it is somewhat similar to the skill "Jinsha Sword Sutra" practiced by Zhou Zhiqian, a member of the Zhou family who is a swordsman. , are all about introducing evil spirits into the body for practice, so as to use evil spirits to enhance combat power and break through bottlenecks.
But in this way, these exercises have very high requirements for practitioners. If you are not careful, evil spirits may enter your heart and you may become possessed!
After reading the records of this technique, Zhou Chun seemed to understand why the soul of Master Xuansha could persist for so many years.
Because the opponent most likely used Yin evil energy to temper his physical body and soul before he was alive. At the same time, he was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage by relying on this technique, so he must be the kind of person with an extremely tenacious will.
It should be said that this technique is indeed a good optional technique because it comes with a lot of Xuan Sha's own cultivation experience.
But after reading it, Zhou Chun decided not to put it into the Zhou family's secret treasury for the clan members to choose from, lest someone be greedy for the power of the technique and practice it and become obsessed with it, ultimately harming themselves and others!
To be continued...
