Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 111-110: Daoist Lord, are you there? (Please subscribe to the full book!)
Hearing Jia Fu explain his plans in detail, Li Chunfeng secretly admired him.

He knew nothing about these things, whether in his past life or this one.

What's even more remarkable is that Jia Fu, all alone, flew from the vast land of China to a completely unfamiliar place, yet managed to launch his business in such a short time and create such a huge stir.

He first contacted the local Bahuang Bank and invited several large auction houses.

They began bargaining, offering two Earth-rank demon cores as a condition.

In the end, not only did they not pay much of a price, but the auction house actually lost money and started advertising and promoting the event in a big way.

So even though the auction hasn't started yet, Jia Fu has already made a profit.

That's his own skill.

If Li Chunfeng had done it himself, who knows how many more pitfalls he would have encountered.

But in Jia Fu's view...

What he did was just ordinary; Li Chunfeng was much more mysterious.

Selling a low-grade demon core once might be luck, twice might be due to chance, but what about three or four times?

He didn't care whether this operation made money or lost money; the important thing was to make the big shot rich. Just imagining the wonderful days when the big shot would have a constant stream of high-grade items passing through his hands made him incredibly happy.

Both parties reached an agreement and formally signed the agreement.

Li Chunfeng took out the two demon cores and handed them to Jia Fu.

Jia Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gleaming Earth-rank demon core right in front of him.

Everything he did revolved around these two little gadgets. If the actual objects weren't available, or if something went wrong with them, he would definitely have to pay a large sum of money.

I snapped a photo and sent it to my friend Jiang Jingyun.

Then his phone started vibrating incessantly, clearly his friend was quite agitated.

Li Chunfeng's injuries had not fully healed, so after settling things here, he got up and left.

He returned to the academy by public transportation.

Since the attack, a strict order has been issued in the Mountain and Sea Realm City, strictly prohibiting cultivators from summoning demonic pets in any public place without permission (except for law enforcement personnel).

The Earthly Realm has been carrying out an intensive infiltration plan into the Myriad Demon Realm.

The Realm of Ten Thousand Demons has also permeated the Realm of Earth like a sieve.

Furthermore, since every cultivator has a demonic pet, it makes it easier for demons to disguise themselves and infiltrate.

The monk controls the demon, and the demon controls the monk.

In reality, it's just a fine line; there's no clear dividing line.

Just like cat lovers raising cats, a cat's life is short. In a cat's eyes, humans may just be a kind of long-lived servant, responsible for taking care of their family's life for generations.

The reality is, of course, not so, but it does prove that there is not much of a gap between them.

Perhaps this time it was some unlucky cultivator who was controlled by the demon race, which is why they knew their whereabouts so well.

Li Chunfeng quietly returned to his dormitory at the academy.

He was alone in the dormitory; Hu Yifei had already led a few others out for training.

Because his injuries haven't healed, he's not fit for combat. His main task lately has been to recover and chat and joke around with Lu Yun'er.

After learning that he had been attacked and injured, Lu Yun'er couldn't help but show concern and offer her greetings.

They've been talking on the phone quite often lately.

Apart from that, Li Chunfeng's life remained the same, and everything seemed no different from usual. He spent his days cultivating, studying, cultivating, and recuperating.

The team won first place on the Qingyun Ranking, but there was no big celebration in the academy.

However, they are keeping a low profile at this time.

That is the most unusual thing.

Hu Yifei and the others all said that they had implicated Li Chunfeng, and that he could have left on his own, but he chose to stay for them.

This greatly stimulated him, and upon returning, he practiced and trained even more diligently.

Li Chunfeng felt that he had it backwards.

What makes you, Hu, so shameless that you deserve to be personally targeted by a demon lord?

Instead, he dragged his friends down with him.

However, it's a good thing if it can motivate them, so I'll just accept it.

Li Chunfeng has never seen Vice Dean Xu Mochen again. He only knows that Xu Mochen self-destructed his Yin Spirit. Although the man was saved, his path to enlightenment was severed.

He was originally only one step away from entering the Void Realm, but now he is like a cripple.

The path to enlightenment has been severed, which for cultivators is a form of torture akin to a suspended death sentence.

If you don't improve, the Abyss Tribulation won't wait for you.

The final outcome was predictable.

They either perish in some calamity or are martyred prematurely, so that their lives may be more meaningful.

This incident had a greater impact on Li Chunfeng than he had imagined.

His previous spiritual practice seemed natural, but in reality, he was always in a state of detachment.

Even after spending more than half a year training in the Ghost Realm, he mostly leveled up on his own.

Even when he actively participated in the war and earned merit, he still considered himself a passerby and never truly integrated into this world. This long-planned attack by the demon race, however, truly dragged him into the vortex.

He is not afraid of real challenges, but he worries about having too many favors owed to him.

If someone lends him a helping hand, given his personality, he will surely repay them tenfold.

I just can't understand why Xu Mo would have the courage to self-destruct his Yin God at that critical moment, just to stop the Demon Lord for a moment, when they weren't even that familiar with each other before.

Perhaps this is what a true hero is.

Righteous and awe-inspiring!

In times of national crisis, many respectable people always emerge.

Not only Xu Mochen, but also that thousand-year-old Bodhi seed, are debts of gratitude he can never repay.

Li Chunfeng silently recited the calming mantra and it took him a long time to enter a meditative state.

The small interior space has undergone a complete transformation.

The once intact inner world of Jiushan Tianchi now has many cracks in the outer boundary, resembling a spider web. Soul energy occasionally escapes from these cracks.

He has been repairing the barrier of the divine aperture for the past few days, but unfortunately the effect is not significant.

Today, the boundary seems to be stable, and there is no longer any spiritual energy emanating outwards.

"Hey, that's not right!"

He suddenly looked up at the first tall mountain and exclaimed, "How come a small tree has grown there?"

This was quite a shock, startling him so much that he immediately snapped out of his cultivation state.

I hurriedly pulled out my phone and found a contact.

After hesitating for a second, she cautiously sent a message: "Lord Daojun, are you there?"

Nine Realms of Refining the Spirit —

Divided into the Divine Realm, the Burning Lamp Realm, the Divine Embryo Realm; the Yin God Realm, the Void Step Realm, the Dharma Aspect Realm; the Calamity Dharma Realm, the Pure Yang Realm, and the Yang God Realm!

Those below the Divine Embryo Realm are called Wanderers. Cultivators at the Yin Spirit Realm are called Superiors.

A cultivator at the Void Step Realm can be called a True Person.

The Dharma Aspect Realm can also be called the Divine Transformation Realm. A cultivator in the Dharma Aspect Realm can be respectfully addressed as a Divine Transformation True Lord.

A cultivator at the Tribulation Realm can be addressed as Dao Lord.

A cultivator at the Pure Yang Realm is close to attaining enlightenment and is generally referred to as a Daoist.

A Daoist is someone who has attained enlightenment and realized the Dao; it is an extremely high title. If you have read the Investiture of the Gods, you will find that the most powerful Daoist, Randeng, is of the same generation as Yuanshi Tianzun, and Duobao, the chief disciple of Biyou Palace, is also a Daoist.

If one is at the Yang Shen realm, then one is an immortal!

After Li Chunfeng woke up in the hospital, he saw the old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face.

He also learned about the entire process of his rescue from the attending physician.

I am naturally very grateful.

He knew he was deeply indebted to them this time.

Then, after learning the old Taoist's true identity as a Dao Lord, they were even more shocked.

Upon seeing the old Taoist priest, Li Chunfeng was suddenly struck by a strange idea and made a bold decision that went against his principles.

He asked Daojun for a friend slot, claiming that he would need to consult someone if there were any problems with his injuries later.

Previously, it was always others who asked him for friend slots; this was the first time he had asked someone for friend slots.

And Daojun...

They actually agreed!
That's how we got this contact information.

Anyway, having more debts is not a burden, and Li Chunfeng didn't want to burden ordinary people with favors for even a moment longer.

But if it's a debt owed to Daojun, he'd rather leave it until the end of time!
After a long while, a message came back from the other end: "Little fellow, what business do you have with this old Taoist priest?"

"Lord Dao, I apologize for disturbing you. While I was cultivating just now, I suddenly discovered that grass was growing in my inner world. What's going on? Is there something wrong with this?"

Qingyun Nanzhu rubbed his forehead, looking helpless. "Where are you?"

"I'm in my dorm."

"Wait."

Li Chunfeng sat upright and waited. Soon, another person appeared out of nowhere in the room, and he didn't even notice it.

He quickly stood up to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Lord Daojun."

Qingyun Zhu waved his hand, and he could no longer bow down. "Sit down, relax your mind, and let this old Taoist take a look."

"Yes!"

Li Chunfeng sat obediently, looking like a good boy.

Qingyun Zhu's eyes suddenly shone with divine light, and Li Chunfeng's inner world lamp suddenly brightened a bit, and that feeling of being seen through came again.

"Tsk tsk~"

The old Taoist clicked his tongue repeatedly, "Such an extraordinary phenomenon! A thousand-year-old Bodhi seed can actually take root and sprout in the divine aperture. How could I, an old Taoist, encounter such a thing? If those old bald monks of Fangcun Mountain find out about this, they'll surely come knocking on my door to investigate it carefully."

Li Chunfeng shrank back, sensing that nothing good was coming and not daring to disturb them.

"Lord Daoist, is everything alright in my little inner world?"

"You call yourself the Little Inner Realm, which is not wrong. It is quite similar to the manifestation of the Dharma Image Inner Realm."

The old Taoist priest glanced at it and said, "No need to worry, it's a good thing. The thousand-year-old Bodhi seed is a rare divine object. It has been enshrined in this small space for many years and has already developed its own spirituality. After you refined it, it took root in your divine aperture with your divine soul power as nourishment and the mountains, rivers and heavenly pools of the inner landscape as its soil and water. It can be considered to have undergone a transformation."

"Anyway, your soul power is abundant. In the future, you can nurture the seedling with your soul power day and night, and you will be able to cultivate a unique Bodhi Soul Tree. With this soul tree suppressing your divine aperture, you don't need to worry about the boundary wall being damaged, as it can be repaired slowly. You have turned misfortune into blessing this time, and you might even manifest some supernatural abilities. Helping the Bodhi Soul Tree grow is also helping you repair the inner wall of your divine aperture."

Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it was good news.

The inner world of his mind was a manifestation of his divine vision. The original strange phenomena of the Nine Mountains and Heavenly Pools were also strange, but they were all his own things, and he did not find them particularly abrupt.

But this foreign seedling suddenly growing in one's mind, and being a living thing, how could anyone not be horrified?

"Since Lord Daojun says it's alright, I will definitely water it every day from now on. I wonder how much it eats, since I still need to cultivate?"

"Figure it out yourself. This old Taoist priest doesn't have time to joke around with you."

Li Chunfeng dared not be cheeky anymore and hurriedly asked, "Then, Lord Daojun, with the Bodhi Soul Tree suppressing my divine aperture, can my condition be considered recovered? I feel that my soul power has stabilized and is no longer leaking out."

Qingyun Nanzhu glanced at him. "What, can't wait to go out for a stroll?"

"Yes."

Li Chunfeng honestly admitted, "My demonic pet is special; it's better for it to fight than to meditate."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and carefully examined Li Chunfeng's inner world. "Take out your magic weapon and let me take a look."

Li Chunfeng was puzzled. In front of the old Taoist priest, he was just a kid, and he had no secrets left.

Nature complied with the request to retrieve the magical artifact.

"Primordial Sword Embryo, you shouldn't be able to control a magic weapon at your current level, but your freakish soul power is actually comparable to that of a Divine Embryo Realm cultivator, barely enough to use it. Go and exchange for a 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Nourishing Mind Sword Technique,' which can speed up the sword nurturing process."

Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

He secretly memorized the name of this sword technique.

This is the benefit of adding Daojun as a friend.

A casual remark from the Daoist Master is enough for an ordinary person to ponder for a lifetime.

It's no wonder he shamelessly kept calling me "Lord Daoist."

The old Taoist priest tossed the sword embryo back to him and then picked up a wisp of purple mist.

"With your abilities, it would take you at least two years to refine this purple cloud. Let me lend you a hand and refine it today. As long as you don't do anything reckless and wander into the demon's lair, I can guarantee your safety."

Li Chunfeng's heart pounded as he listened, and he quickly sat cross-legged, his movements, posture, and expression behaving with utmost obedience.

Five hours later.

The old Taoist priest had disappeared.

Li Chunfeng rubbed his temples wearily, swallowed a handful of Guiyuan Pills, and slowly restored his spiritual power.

He hadn't expected that even with the help of the Daoist Master, refining this Purple Cloud Mist Silk would be so difficult.

Even with his 200,000 spiritual powers, he still managed to exhaust his spiritual energy several times.

This demonstrates the difficulty of refining this magical artifact.

"Two years is already a very short time, isn't it?"

Fortunately, it was eventually completely refined.

Feeling the perfect harmony between his own soul and the magical artifact, he had a thought, and a purple cloud continuously expanded, enveloping him within it.

It may look thin, but it is actually very tough.

If this purple cloud were to spread out completely, it could easily envelop the entire dormitory building.

If it weren't for the city's prohibition, he would have loved to ride the Purple Cloud Cloud Silk and fly freely for a while.

He turned and entered Yuancheng, a blessed land.

This time, however, they did not enter the Dark Abyss Ruins.
