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

Chapter 145: The Azure Dragon

An additional branch appeared on the damaged jade disc, revealing the attributes of the three demonic pets:
Taiyi: Demon Spirit, Dragon Fish

[Cultivation Level]: Demon General Level 7 (Fourth Tier)
[Bloodline]: Celestial Azure Dragon, Yellow Rank (11.8%)

"The Azure Dragon, isn't that the Azure Dragon bloodline?!"

The Azure Dragon, also known as the Green Dragon or Mengzhang, is one of the "Four Spirits of Heaven," corresponding to the seven constellations of the East in the Four Symbols. According to the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, the East belongs to Wood and is associated with the color Azure.

Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous fish-dragon grass contains the bloodline of such a divine dragon.

【talent】:
I. Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon (High-Grade Earth Rank)

Bloodline inheritance, body-refining techniques. Current realm: Fifth Transformation of Fish-Dragon. The highest realm is the Ninth Transformation, with the potential to transform into a dragon and soar through the heavens.

Huang Jie's bloodline only inherited the technique of transforming into a dragon.

It is not the legendary "Dragon Transformation Scripture" that transforms one into a real dragon.

During the finals of the Azure Cloud Ranking competition, the Dragon Transformation Daoist, who was on duty as the Lord of the Celestial Court, was present in person. That important figure's most famous natal demonic pet was said to be a true dragon. The inherited cultivation method he practiced was the "Dragon Transformation True Scripture," which allowed one to directly transform into a true dragon. His Daoist title originated from this.

Li Chunfeng was curious about the inherited techniques of the demon race, so he merged his soul with Taiyi's to get a glimpse of their mysteries. He discovered that these so-called inherited methods were nothing more than some mysterious golden threads.

"The dragon-pattern seal script is the script of spiritual traces and talismans. All descendants of the dragon can see it clearly..."

It turned out that those who were not of dragon blood could not understand it, so they gave up.

He could artificially enhance Taiyi's bloodline, at which point the Yellow-rank "Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon" inheritance might directly advance to the "True Scripture of Dragon Transformation." In his mind, the Earth-rank high-grade cultivation technique inheritance was merely a transitional item.

The Azure Dragon, a mythical beast—just thinking about it is exciting.

II. The Longevity Scripture of Green Wood (Upper Grade of Yellow Rank)
Seeking out spiritual trees of heaven and earth, and spiritual plants from all realms, to absorb the essence of wood and endless vitality, theoretically, as long as there are enough spiritual plants for cultivators to absorb vitality, one can reach the highest realm of the "Azure Wood Longevity Scripture"—the Immortal of Ten Thousand Years.

"Ouch!"

This is actually a divine skill for achieving immortality.

Perhaps a more peaceful world could create something extraordinary. Unfortunately, in the current climate, longevity is the most useless thing.

III. Size as Desired (Superior Yellow Rank)

IV. Azure Thunder Sword (High-grade Yellow Rank)

5. Azure Scaled Armor (High-grade Yellow Rank)

VI. Dragon Lurking in the Abyss (Highest Grade Yellow Rank)

Dragons can hide in the deepest depths of the underworld or in the depths of streams; once they hide, they are very difficult to find.

VII. Soaring Through Clouds and Mist (Superior Yellow Rank)

8. Stirring up trouble (Superior Yellow Rank)

9. Yi Wood Rejuvenates (Superior Grade of Yellow Rank)

10. Dragon's Roar Shakes the Heavens (High-Grade Yellow Rank)
Overall, there are many more attributes than those seen through the 'Mind's Eye'. The true inheritance of talent is even more surprising.

Most importantly, Taiyi has a high level of intelligence and should not be regarded as a mere demon pet.

Li Chunfeng logged onto the school's intranet forum and searched for whether he could obtain an identity token for his demonic pet. He found that such a rule existed: a cultivator's demonic pet must register at the Myriad Spirits Pavilion if it wanted to act independently.

Li Chunfeng immediately searched for Wanling Pavilion and found that it was still quite far away, so he set off immediately.

He flew straight for a thousand miles before arriving at a large mountain, which turned out to be the entrance to a small world. Since he wanted to obtain identity tokens, he naturally did so for everyone. After issuing identity tokens to Ran Deng, Mosquito Daoist, and Taiyi, he specifically searched for information about the Wanling Pavilion's small world, and the more he read, the more delighted he became.

Inside, it turned out to be a place where human cultivators would cultivate future demonic pets. Most of the demonic eggs produced in the official demonic pet repository came from various similar small worlds of myriad spirits.

For the Mosquito Taoist, this place was practically a blood bank of all spirits and a wellspring of evolution.

However, to enter the Realm of All Spirits, one hundred credits are still required.

Li Chunfeng hadn't even accumulated enough credits to analyze the Void God Chain and learn the Sacrifice Treasure Technique, let alone spend that money to go to the Myriad Spirits Realm.

After receiving guidance from Master Shen, Li Chunfeng went to the Weapon Refining Academy to learn about the Spirit Analyzer. The conclusion was that it could be analyzed and deduced, but as a sixth-tier magic weapon, deriving the sacrificial incantation would require enormous computing power and resources. Considering the immense research value of void magic weapons, the Weapon Refining Academy was willing to offer a 40% discount.

That would require 60 credits.

Of course, the teacher in charge also jokingly said that if Li Chunfeng had been willing to join the Weapon Refining Academy when he applied to the academy, the price might have been even more favorable.

Earning academic credits.

Besides attending classes and passing assessments by professional teachers, another way to obtain this qualification is through scientific research or participation in projects.

Li Chunfeng also possessed a 'Nine-Eyed Demon Spider Formation' inheritance. Although it was only an incomplete formation, it was still a fifth-order formation.

If the fifth-order array were to be used as a research project, the Imperial Academy would certainly welcome it. However, he had some concerns: was he being too arrogant? Could he really complete the fifth-order array on his own?

Actually, there is another thing that can quickly increase academic credits, namely the Heavenly Rank Soul Bone Inheritance and the Void Rune Set.

He won't easily take these out.

So, it's time to choose your major.

After much deliberation, he chose "Runes" and "Formations" as his main subjects. He also enrolled Taiyi in the agronomy course at the Alchemy Academy and Mosquito Daoist in the bloodline evolution and inheritance course to broaden his knowledge; naturally, he would need Mosquito Daoist to accompany him in the early stages.

"Yes, Lu Yun'er chose the Alchemy Academy..."

Well, the kid is still young. I think I'll take care of him myself for a while, at least let him learn to speak the common language and get familiar with the environment of the Imperial Academy.

As for Ran Deng... he is already a master of the Soul Dao, and there are no suitable courses for him in the Imperial Academy. Letting him follow me to learn the Dao of Arrays is the best arrangement.

However, all of this can only be implemented after he returns from the Ghost Realm.

He took a few days off to travel to the Ghost Realm for the purpose of undergoing tribulation.

"Little madman, come back safely."

As they boarded the airship, Lu Yun'er sent them a message.

"inevitable."

A few days later, Chi Xuancai was doing a mission with his team in Canyon City when he suddenly received a call from an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

She immediately cried out with joy.

"Chi Xuan Cai, what's making you so happy?" the captain asked curiously.

Chi Xuancai smiled and said, "An old friend has returned to the Ghost Realm. Captain, I'm afraid I'll have to miss this mission. I need to ask you for leave."

"Seriously, Fellow Ekado? If it weren't for you, could we even go on this mission?" Before the captain could speak, a young team member immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

The Crimson Rainbows aren't particularly strong in combat, often serving as a reserve force, but their share of the spoils is never reduced. Furthermore, their team's limited strength prevents them from venturing into dangerous areas for every mission. The Crimson Rainbows' true purpose remains largely untapped, serving more as a rapid transit route.

If this continues, the team members will definitely feel resentful.

The captain was actually a little unhappy, because without Chi Xuancai in the team, it would be inconvenient to go to many places.

However, since he relied heavily on Chi Xuancai's abilities, her request for leave was understandable.

However, he still tactfully suggested, "I have a lot of work to do today. If I'm just picking up a friend, could I ask someone else to help me?"

Chi Xuancai shook her head firmly, "I promised, I will go pick him up."

The team leader had no choice but to grant her leave.

But the expression on his face already looked somewhat unnatural.

Chi Xuancai knew perfectly well what was going on. After leaving the team, she found a quiet grove of trees and activated the teleportation of the Illusionary Sky Flower.

A strange flower bloomed, revealing a human figure—Li Chunfeng.

"Fellow Equatorial One, it's been a long time," Li Chunfeng said with a smile.

“Li Chunfeng, it’s been a long time. I’ve heard about you all over the Ghost Realm. You’re truly remarkable, winning the top spot on the Azure Cloud Ranking. Hmm, your cultivation level…” Chi Xuancai exclaimed in surprise, “You’ve already reached the Divine Embryo Realm?”

"Haha, a lucky breakthrough."

He didn't conceal his cultivation aura, but 'mental invisibility' is still a Xuan-level spell, and Chi Xuancai saw through it at a glance.

Chi Xuancai was full of admiration. "How long are you staying this time?"

"It shouldn't be too long. I took leave during the school term. I've already made appointments with Feng Yang and Brother Su Bai. Why don't we find a place to have a good chat?" "Sure, lead the way."

Li Chunfeng naturally went to the small inn. Everything was the same, except that the landlady was not in the inn. Instead, a middle-aged female cultivator at the Burning Lamp Realm was hired to take care of the inn.

The two sat quietly, chatting about their recent daily lives. Before long, the two of them came together, with Feng Yang carrying two jars of fine wine.

The original underground world team, except for Xu Changliu, has reunited.

Although they weren't particularly close in their daily lives, the bond forged through shared adventures allowed them to maintain a good friendship.

Su Bai initially didn't realize that Li Chunfeng had already reached the Divine Embryo Realm; he was simply amazed that Li Chunfeng had fought his way through to win first place in the Qingyun Ranking team competition. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one player on this year's Qingyun Ranking.

Although there is a delay in information exchange between the Ghost Realm and the Earth Realm, all the news that needs to be known is available online.

Which academy have you been accepted into?

"Kunlun Academy".

"Does the trainee inspector still have his token?"

Li Chunfeng took out the token, but Su Bai unceremoniously took it back. "If you are still interested in the Sky Patrol Division, I can introduce you to the Garrison Commander."

Times have changed. Li Chunfeng no longer needed to be cautious. After a moment's thought, he said, "I do lack Daoist cultivation, and the Heavenly Patrol Division is a good platform. However, academic credits are more important within the Imperial Academy, and I'm afraid I don't have the time to carry out the Heavenly Patrol Division's missions right now."

"I understand. As long as you still want to join the Sky Patrol Division, that's fine. I'll report your situation to the Garrison Commander. Whether or not to make an exception for you is up to him."

Feng Yang suddenly put down his wine cup. "Brother Su, you might as well take a good look at Li Chunfeng's cultivation level."

"Haha." Chi Xuancai laughed as well, looking on with amusement.

Su Bai was taken aback and looked at Li Chunfeng seriously. "Huh, your cultivation is so much stronger. Could you be at the mid-stage of the Burning Lamp Realm?"

Su Bai's perception was actually inferior to that of Chi Xuancai.

Helpless, Li Chunfeng had no choice but to actively conceal his thoughts and reveal the aura of the Divine Embryo Realm.

Su Bai's eyes widened immediately, "Divine Embryo Realm!!"

"Are you kidding me? How long have you been cultivating?"

Chi Xuancai smiled and said, "When I first met him, I was just as shocked as you are. Later I learned that he had only been in school for less than half a month when he successfully condensed his divine embryo. Moreover, he did not use any external objects and relied entirely on his own strength to condense the embryo in one go."

Su Bai was stunned for a long time. His former little brothers had caught up with him in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Geniuses really can't be judged by ordinary standards."

Then he excitedly added, "The more bargaining chips you have, the better. I believe even the garrison commander would be willing to make an exception for you and take your great talent into his fold ahead of time."

The four of them drank another cup, and Feng Yang asked, "The Imperial Academy should have only just started, right? What brings you to the Ghost Realm this time?"

Li Chunfeng did not answer, but instead asked a question, "I wonder what the situation is like in the underworld now?"

On his way here, he also learned about the recent developments in the Ghost Realm.

Humans once launched a major offensive against the Underworld, but the Underworld was too important, and the Oni race quickly counterattacked, reclaiming much of their lost territory. In short, there haven't been any large-scale wars recently, but small-scale battles have been frequent, especially in the Underworld where the fighting has been fiercest.

Su Bai said, "The situation is not optimistic. Last time, the human race mobilized a large army and destroyed the underground world's altar teleportation array in one fell swoop. However, the underground world's terrain is too complex, with many spatial rifts and underground passages that are interconnected. The more humans explore the underground world, the more they discover its vastness and expanse. Some even believe that the underground world of the Ghost Realm can connect to any place in the entire Ghost Realm. This undoubtedly brings many uncertainties to the war."

Li Chunfeng paused slightly, swirling his wine glass. "My main purpose in coming here this time is to capture a few undead servants. Would you all like to explore the underground world again?"

"Oh? Xu Changliu isn't here this time?" Su Bai asked.

"No need, I also have a flying magic weapon."

His Purple Cloud and Mist Garland has long been repaired.

"Consider this a job I'm hiring you all for. My pay may not be much, but it will definitely satisfy you all."

Feng Yang slammed his hand on the table. "You're too kind. I've long wanted to revisit the underground world."

Chi Xuancai had no objections, expressing his desire to witness the strength of the number one on the Qingyun Ranking.

Su Bai raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, let's pick up a few official underground world quests while we're at it. With the official backing us up, we won't be running around like headless flies."

So they went together to the mission center.

"Crimson Splendor!"

Suddenly, one of them shouted angrily to stop them.

"Is this how you pick up friends? You actually team up with others to do missions, neglecting your own team."

The four people stopped at the same time.

Chi Xuancai looked at the group of people who suddenly swarmed over, his expression stiffening, and said, "Captain, I'm just accompanying a friend to do some business. I asked you for leave beforehand."

The captain didn't speak, but glanced at the other three, ignoring Li Chunfeng and Su Bai. When his gaze landed on Feng Yang, his pupils suddenly contracted. "So you know Thunderbolt Saber. In that case, go ahead and come back soon."

"Captain, this mission is so important, and she just had to take leave at this time..."

The young man who spoke up earlier was clearly a confidant of the captain, and he couldn't help but mutter a retort.

"Shut up, Xiao Wu. We'll talk about it later," the captain snapped.

Chi Xuancai turned to look at the group, a bitter smile on his face.

Feng Yang suddenly spoke up: "If Fellow Daoist Chi is not satisfied with his position in the team, why not consider my team? My team is just lacking someone like Fellow Daoist Chi."

Su Bai considered it more thoroughly: "How much longer is your contract? Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Li Chunfeng also said, "Fellow Daoist Chi went to pick me up, which is why I was delayed in handling important matters. If there is any penalty for breach of contract that needs to be paid, I am willing to pay it all."

Chi Xuancai was somewhat bewildered, but the others beside him were not having it, especially the captain, whose face was starting to tense up.

"Aren't you all going too far, poaching my players right in front of me?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, forced relationships are never sweet. You should let go when it's time to let go."

"What's rightfully yours will be yours, not a penny less."

Chi Xuancai opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the words, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

Seeing Chi Xuancai's expression, everyone became even more certain that she was not doing well.

Whether it's meddling in other people's business or standing up for the underdog, it doesn't matter.

They're determined to handle this.

There was no need to even ask the other party's name. Since the other party knew Feng Yang's reputation, Feng Yang simply stepped forward and worked with Su Bai to handle the matter of Chi Xuancai leaving the team.

The penalty for breach of contract wasn't high either. Su Bai analyzed the terms of the contract one by one, and in the end, he squeezed it down to only 500,000 Dao merits.

Li Chunfeng was about to pay, but Chi Xuancai stopped him.

"Let me do it. If you all have to pay for this, how can I face my friends?"

"The money isn't much," Li Chunfeng thought, "and this really isn't a good idea."

Chi Xuancai then paid the penalty for breach of contract himself.

"I am free!"

After understanding everything, Chi Xuancai exclaimed happily.

They smiled at each other, all happy for their friend's relief.

Feng Yang clearly didn't want to miss out on this talent. "Fellow Daoist Chi, join my team. There will definitely be a place for you to showcase your talents with me."

"Haha, I've only just been free, but I didn't expect to be busy again so soon. Let me think about it."

Feng Yang said, "My team welcomes you anytime."

Half a day later, a phantom flower bloomed at the cliff entrance to the underground world.
