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

Chapter 120-119: The Six Hundred Million Lantern Ghosts

Li Chunfeng searched online for the Qingyun Ranking Competition of Kyushu Tianxia, ​​using the keyword "Lu Yun'er"!
There were so many messages popping up.

The internet celebrity with millions of followers has become a household name. She wasn't wearing a mask at the Qingyun Ranking Competition and was immediately recognized by her fans. Her stunning beauty and elegant demeanor, coupled with her young age of 18, have earned her the title of a new generation's goddess, further fueling her fanatical following.

In the Azure Cloud Ranking Competition of the four major worlds of the Earthly Realm, only the top team from each state is qualified to participate in the finals of the world competition.

In the individual competition, only the top three from each state will advance to the national finals.

The four great realms and the thirty-six great continents.

This is the main geographical distribution of the Earthly Realm.

In addition to these thirty-six major continents, there are actually seventy-two sub-provinces, many of which are autonomous territories and will also participate in the competition.

Take the game "Shan Hai Tian Xia" as an example. The geographical distribution is also very even, with nine continents and eighteen states, and a total of twenty-seven teams participating in the team competition.

"Huh, Lu Yun'er's team has been eliminated from the competition."

Li Chunfeng happened to see the latest news: "There is still a chance in the individual competition."

Click to watch the video.

After some time apart, Lu Yun'er has actually reached the Burning Lamp Realm.

On the contrary, the Five-Colored Deer's strength has decreased slightly. It seems that she chose to be nurtured by her demon pet, which allowed her to successfully advance. No wonder she was so confident that she would meet him in the finals.

Lu Yun'er also has that ability.

Especially after both the master and the demon pet advance in rank, the help provided by the Five-Colored Deer is immense.

The combination of her light and life-related talents made her virtually invincible.

Few people in her age group can rival her.

But this is the Qingyun Ranking, and the contestants from Jiuzhou Tianxia are indeed a level above in terms of raw strength, so nothing is certain.

Why is Li Chunfeng so concerned about Lu Yun'er at this time?
Therefore, after returning, he searched for methods to cleanse the demonic energy from the demon core. The Earthly Realm had a deep understanding of the demon race and had also conducted detailed research on methods to eliminate demonic energy, resulting in a wide variety of methods. Li Chunfeng only selected the top-ranked methods for reference.

The third method involves finding a cultivator who practices demonic arts to extract the demonic energy using a special technique. The second method uses a special life-attribute spell to expel the demonic energy from the inside out. Life-attribute spells are mostly safe and gentle, and this method is also safe and effective, without damaging the runic seeds contained within the demon core.

The number one method is precisely the one that utilizes light attribute talent spells.

Coincidentally, Lu Yun'er occupies two seats.

So I sent her a message and asked her to meet me in Yuancheng.

Lu Yun'er just suffered a defeat in the team competition and is feeling down.

Upon seeing Li Chunfeng's message, she still eagerly ran into Yuancheng, putting on a busy act and saying, "What do you want? I still have a competition to play, and I'm almost ready to advance?"

"Stop pretending, weren't we just eliminated from the team competition?" Li Chunfeng immediately saw through her act.

"Oh, you watched my match?"

Lu Yun'er immediately deflated, "It was so close, I'm so angry."

"Is your injury healed? I sent you a message earlier, and you actually went to the secret realm!"

Li Chunfeng said, "Your injury isn't fully healed yet, but it's been suppressed. Now that the team competition is over, focus on the individual competition. I've looked at your opponents in the individual competition, and you have a high probability of making it into the top ten."

Lu Yun'er immediately tilted her delicate, jade-like chin up proudly, "Of course, I'm very good. But I only made it into the top ten?"

Li Chunfeng glanced at her and coldly retorted, "Considering defeat before victory is not advisable. Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Can you guarantee that others don't have any hidden tricks up their sleeves? What's your ranking on the leaderboard? Aren't there any contestants ranked higher than you participating?"

Lu Yun'er mimicked Li Chunfeng's usual manner, pinching her smooth chin, "That's true. If I were to encounter a cunning guy like you, I would really have to fight with all my might."

Li Chunfeng: "...I came so that you wouldn't miss the final competition."

"what?"

"With my help, I believe you will have a much better chance of breaking into the top ten of the Nine Provinces World Ranking."

Only those who rank in the top ten of the World Ranking can participate in the finals of the Four Great Worlds.

"What? How are you going to help me?"

Lu Yun'er blinked her big eyes, looking at him with a face full of curiosity.

"cough~"

Li coughed lightly and took out the wolf demon core.

"What is this thing? It smells awful."

Her Deer Cry Body made her instinctively averse to demonic energy.

After Li Chunfeng explained briefly, Lu Yun'er suddenly realized, "So you want me to help you remove the demonic energy from the demon core, right? And you even said you were here to help me."

Li Chunfeng wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he had an expression that said, "This is a rare type of spatial escape technique. Do you know how rare it is? It's priceless. Even a third-tier demon, once it mastered the void-walking escape technique, almost caused me to suffer a setback."

Lu Yun'er thought to herself, "Are third-tier monsters already considered minions in his eyes?"

“Spatial magic is naturally powerful, but this wolf demon’s element is completely incompatible with my horned element. Moreover, spatial magic seeds are not so easy to refine.”

"Man proposes, God disposes. Don't believe me? Come with me!"

Seeing Lu Yun'er's expression that said "Don't lie to me," Li Chunfeng simply pulled her into his private stone house.

Li Chunfeng had been to her secret cottage before, but this was Lu Yun'er's first time visiting Li Chunfeng's place.

I was looking forward to it before I came in, but after I came in... well, what was I expecting? It was completely bare, almost in its original state except for the futons and some miscellaneous items.

What do you want me to see?

With a wave of his hand, Li Chunfeng summoned a massive stone tablet that landed in the center of the small house. "You should study this set of runes."

"Eh!" Lu Yun'er came from a family with a long tradition of learning and had received excellent foundational training since childhood. Her rune skills were far superior to Li Chunfeng's half-baked knowledge. Upon seeing the stone tablet for the first time, she couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, attaching her spiritual power to it and earnestly studying it.

Li Chunfeng didn't disturb him. Although human-level runes are the most basic void runes, if no one lists them out, one can only start comprehending them from the perspective of enlightenment.

No one in the Earthly Realm has ever been able to break down the Dao of Void so thoroughly, and even summarize it from low to high.

After reviewing the human-level void runes, Lu Yun'er's gaze immediately turned serious. "This set of basic-level void runes has immense research value. If it is released, it might spark a research boom in the Dao of the Void across the land."

Li Chunfeng ignored all of this and simply asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Lu Yun'er didn't understand what he wanted to do, but since it was Li Chunfeng, she naturally chose to believe him and answered seriously, "This set of basic void runes seems simple, but it contains profound meaning. Although it is a basic thing, each rune represents a profound rule, and each time you comprehend it, you will have a completely new experience. I understand it, but I dare not say that I have fully comprehended it."

"That's enough. You'll have plenty of time to study and comprehend it on your own later. With this set of void runes and my guidance, your chances of mastering the spell of void movement will greatly increase."

Lu Yun'er was immediately surprised, "You've refined the Void Travel Technique Seed?"

Li Chunfeng didn't say anything; he simply flickered and disappeared.

Lu Yun'er looked around but couldn't find Li Chunfeng anywhere. A few seconds later, still no sign of him, she suddenly sensed something, turned around, and there he was, silently appearing behind her.

She gasped, "This is void walking? It's completely different from teleportation. So silent and unpredictable, it's truly a miraculous escape technique."

Li Chunfeng nodded. His ability to walk in the void was not achieved through the refinement of a Dharma seed, but rather through the [Deriving Dharma] path on the incomplete jade disc. He truly came from nothing to something, from the basics to the advanced, and gradually came to understand and master it thoroughly.

It was precisely because of this level of control that he dared to guide Lu Yun'er in refining the 'Void Walking' rune seed.

Lu Yun'er's heart skipped a beat, "Okay, I'll take this job."

"A word is settled!"

Li Chunfeng laughed, then pulled out a large pile of magic cores.

Lu Yun'er's eyes widened instantly, her pretty face filled with disbelief. "This... so many! Wasn't there only one? No, I've been tricked! I have to back out!"

Li Chunfeng glared at him, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

“I’m not a gentleman, I’m a woman.” She pouted and swung Li Chunfeng’s arm around her.

Li Chunfeng felt the soft touch and almost fell for the honey trap, but fortunately he had amazing self-control. "...Then do you still want to learn how to walk in the void?"

"I'd like to, but there are too many, and they won't do it. I know that cleansing demonic energy is very tiring work. If I help you with this, I won't be able to do anything else." The young lady pretended to be innocent, widening her big, innocent eyes, pouting and acting cute as if it were perfectly natural for her to act like a rogue.

Li Chunfeng was speechless, finding himself somewhat overwhelmed.

Finally, having no other choice, he promised to cover all expenses for cleansing the demonic energy and also offered her a demonic seed core of at least the Xuan rank, which finally appeased her.

Lu Yun'er was overjoyed at her successful extortion and immediately became full of energy.

I wish I could get everything done in one day.

The next day, the Mosquito Taoist emerged from his cocoon. This time, his appearance didn't change much, but he gained an additional acquired spell, Shadow Flash.

The next evolution requires Blood Essence (0/50).

【Blood Feast Evolution (High-Grade Yellow: 2/12)】

Blood Origin, Evolution Furnace: (0/50), Undying Vajra Defense Level 1, Shadow Flash (Spirit Rank).

Li Chunfeng did not immediately allow Mosquito Taoist to begin a new round of soul fusion.

She changed her clothes and quietly went out.

After arriving at the Jiecheng branch of the mission hall and negotiating, I finally obtained my magic weapon-level Soul Nourishing Tower.

More than 60 million merits.

In theory, it could yield up to 600 million lantern ghosts.

Fortunately, the interior of this Soul Nourishing Tower was quite spacious. A quick sweep of his divine sense revealed a dense array of lantern ghosts, so numerous that it was impossible to count them all.

"Our mission department adjusted the acquisition price ratio based on the actual situation. The number of lantern ghosts in this Soul Nourishing Tower has reached as many as 633 million, which is more than the expected acquisition target. There are even tens of millions of lantern ghosts that have reached the next level." The manager explained with a smile, as if he had known this all along.

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed and laughed, "Thank you, I'm very satisfied. Is my mission in the Ghost Realm complete?"

"Yes, your funds have been depleted, and your task will have to be temporarily taken offline."

"Alright, I will continue to inject the next batch of funds. Please help me continue the acquisition."

The manager was surprised, but out of professionalism, he asked in detail, "Mr. Li, how much money are you planning to invest this time?"

"How about 100 million?"

The manager was immediately taken aback.

"Are you sure? If it's a hundred million, your VIP level might not be far from the top-tier VIP level?"

"just kidding."

Li Chunfeng knew that he would need money for many things recently, and he couldn't possibly invest all of the 100 million Dao power at once.

The manager breathed a sigh of relief. "You're so funny. You almost scared me. This is the largest financial transaction I've ever handled."

"Then let's keep it at 60 million."

"Huh, what..."

With 600 million lanterns, how high will the lantern-lighting level be this time?

And with the newly captured batch of mosquitoes, the Mosquito Master will also progress.

It's time for a comprehensive upgrade.

Li Chunfeng seemed to hear the sounds of thunder and lightning echoing in his mind.
