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

Chapter 155: Cross-border Expansion, About to Begin Again
Li Chunfeng ultimately swallowed the newly developed Qi and Blood Pill, even though he had to hold his nose.

The effect of replenishing qi and blood is indeed stronger than that of ordinary qi and blood pills, but the price is that he has to stay in the outhouse for an hour.

If it's for the purpose of cultivation and quickly replenishing qi and blood, many penniless young people might be willing to pay the price of exhaustion to consume this qi and blood pill.

—It definitely won't get past the drug regulatory authority.

However, the powerful demons who ate them were completely unharmed. Taiyi ate more than a dozen candy beans in a row, and was also fine.

So their newly developed elixir was both a success and a failure.

The elixir was just a minor incident.

The Celestial Rank Top-Grade Star Soul Bone combines offense and defense, internal and external cultivation, and also includes a body tempering method. It truly lives up to its reputation as the most treasured inheritance of that Ghost Realm Kingdom.

However, the actual effectiveness in actual combat remains to be seen.

Lu Yun'er was also very curious about what profound secret technique Li Chunfeng was practicing that caused such a commotion, so she volunteered to spar with him.

They both entered Yuancheng.

The Sword Debate Platform, the Illusory Realm.

Li Chunfeng's authority has now been upgraded, second only to the first tier, allowing him to perform more operations.

He set this private duel to a non-spectator mode, and the battlefield could be freely chosen.

Lu Yun'er was still wearing a fitted suit of armor, but she had changed her spear. The shaft was wrapped in vines, full of the life-like texture of ancient wood grain, while the spearhead was crystal clear, as bright as crystal.

With a flick of her wrist, she executed a beautiful spear flourish, displaying her heroic spirit: "Li Chunfeng, you are only allowed to use the techniques you have just learned."

Li Chunfeng hesitated slightly, then said, "...Okay."

"Ha, then you're definitely going to lose."

Lu Yun'er showed no martial ethics whatsoever, restraining Li Chunfeng from using his new skills, while she herself immediately summoned the Great Horn and merged into a demon.

A clear, crisp deer cry rang out, and the five-colored deer transformed into a streak of light, crashing into her. Her body was draped in a colorful, shimmering robe, a truly breathtaking sight.

On her fair forehead, two small, crystal-clear, emerald-green horns, like tender twigs, came into view.

After the transformation was complete, a powerful demonic aura emanated from her, and her delicate face gained a touch of eeriness, with pale green patterns appearing at the corners of her eyes.

"Nine Transformations of the Stars Spear - Scorpion Transformation!"

As the spear thrust forth, a strange phenomenon of stars surrounding the target materialized, with twinkling stars forming the constellation Scorpio. The star-like spear light, like a scorpion's sting, struck with incredible speed and deafening force.

Li Chunfeng's fists clashed together, producing a crisp sound like metal striking metal.

Starlight shimmered all around him.

Standing on the void, the Big Dipper twinkles.

He deftly dodged her deadly spear strike with the posture of Kui Xing stepping on the Dipper.

Lu Yun'er's pretty face was immediately filled with surprise, "I didn't expect that Li Chunfeng's new cultivation technique is actually a martial arts combat method?"

"And it's a martial arts combat technique based on the celestial element!"

It should be noted that among all martial arts techniques based on the celestial constellations, none are of low grade.

Lu Yun'er's self-cultivated "Nine Transformations of the Stars Spear" is a top-tier martial arts spear technique that directly reaches the level of a Martial Saint. She has been cultivating this spear technique for a long time, and she has put in a lot of effort to even get started. Currently, she has only just managed to cultivate it to the second transformation level.

"Good heavens, it's one thing for his cultivation to increase so quickly, but now he's even getting involved in the ultimate techniques of the Martial Saint? It seems he's quite accomplished in his cultivation."

Lu Yun'er's spear technique suddenly changed, using the Starry Sky Nine Transformations Spear - Lion Transformation.

A phantom of a star lion appeared in the air, pouncing on Li Chunfeng like a lion pouncing on a rabbit, its movements indeed much faster.

Li Chunfeng stepped on the Heavenly Stars, his movements becoming faster and more skillful.

Later on, it almost danced wildly in the void, its movements comparable to short-distance teleportation.

The Starry Sky Step is a footwork technique used for fighting in the void.

After slumbering for countless years beneath the Ghost Realm, it has now displayed its divine might once more, growing stronger with each battle, truly deserving of its name as a top-grade Heavenly Rank inheritance.

Such powerful effects truly delighted Li Chunfeng.

and……

When Li Chunfeng received the inheritance, he was enlightened by the "Derivation Method," so there was no question of enlightenment or proficiency.

After a brief warm-up, the body became familiar with the new method, and it was immediately used with great skill.

As soon as their fists collided, a huge constellation phenomenon suddenly appeared in the void behind them.

Like a larger, majestic lion of stars roaring to the sky, its vigorous fist intent is ready to be unleashed.

And the scale of that strange phenomenon seemed even more magnificent and profound than that of Lu Yun'er's.

Stimulated by his fist, Lu Yun'er felt her hair stand on end, as if a truly vast and boundless star lion was pouncing on her.

Without a second thought, he switched his aim and immediately went into a defensive position.

Time flies!

"boom!"

Li Chunfeng's fist flashed with starlight as it met Lu Yun'er's divine spear head-on, and the two collided with a thunderous crash.

Like a cannonball exploding in the field, the earth was blasted into a deep crater, and the surrounding area was swept wildly, with a strong shockwave spreading outwards.

Glug, glug, gurgle...

Lu Yun'er struggled to dissipate the force, her blood and qi surging and churning within her body. The battle had induced blood circulation, putting pressure on her heart, and her entire body's strength was being controlled by her breathing.

Under immense pressure, she entered a state of complete absorption, her body swaying precariously on the edge of a cliff, seemingly vulnerable to a gust of wind, yet she felt extremely comfortable.

After circulating through his body, the energy was transferred back to the spear, like a giant serpent of stars, launching a counterattack.

After firing that shot, Lu Yun'er felt completely refreshed, as if half of the impurities in her blood and qi had been cleansed away.

There's a sense of exhilaration, like "gold is revealed only after the great waves have washed away the sand."

My muscles, bones, and internal organs all seemed to have become much tighter and stronger again.

She was greatly surprised, "Fighting against Li Chunfeng can actually have a body-tempering effect? ​​What kind of combat technique is this?"

Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up, "Perfect timing!"

He quickly formed a profound seal with both hands, and his divine soul and thoughts instantly dissipated by ninety thousand.

A colossal eye of stars condensed in the void, its endless starlight transforming and finally converging into a dazzling beam of starlight, piercing forth like a divine sword.

'Starlight Beam Cannon!'

This stellar magic is remarkably similar to Yang Qian's Heavenly Rank magic, "Evil-Splitting Divine Light Cannon".

Yang Qian's Evil-Splitting Divine Light Cannon, with its divine light as sharp as a cannon, can dissolve any defense that uses soul power as a medium. Its power and attack range are directly proportional to the amount of soul power it outputs.

There was a time when Li Chunfeng even considered using the 'Evil God Light Cannon'.

They only gave up after learning that it was a Heavenly Rank talent.

Now, the power of this 'Starlight Beam Cannon' is also directly proportional to the output of soul power.

The more soul power is transferred, the stronger the Starlight Beam Cannon becomes.

This Heavenly Rank spell is absolutely perfect for Li.

This adds another trump card to our deck.

This single shot unleashed a full 90,000 units of soul power, occupying one-fifth of Li Chunfeng's soul power pool. "Can he still neutralize an attack with only 20% of his power?"

Unaware of the situation, Lu Yun'er naturally raised the 'Shield of Dawn'.

If she had known that Li Chunfeng's attack was a Heaven-rank spell, she should have activated 'Tree World Descent'.

As expected, she was blasted to pieces and vanished on the battlefield.

The battle ended, and both sides returned to the arena.

Lu Yun'er was still somewhat dazed, seemingly unable to recover from the earlier attack, looking as if she had been badly hurt.

After a long while, she came to her senses and asked excitedly, "Li Chunfeng, is this also a new cultivation technique you've been practicing?"

Li Chunfeng nodded.

"What kind of technique is this? Isn't it a martial arts combat method? Why does it also have magical techniques? What level of magic is it? It's so powerful that it broke my Dawn Shield in an instant. My Dawn Shield has improved a lot. Even if you are in the Divine Embryo Realm, you couldn't break the Earth-rank Dawn Shield with a single blow."

Li Chunfeng smiled faintly, "After you reach the Divine Embryo Realm, I will give you a chance to comprehend it. Whether you can comprehend the complete Heavenly Rank Soul Bone Inheritance depends entirely on your comprehension."

Lu Yun'er's eyes widened instantly. "You mean a Heavenly Rank inheritance?!"

She wanted to ask more, but Li Chunfeng had already shut up and refused to reveal any more information.

From then on, Li Chunfeng had one more thing to do in his daily cultivation.

Absorb the power of the stars and cultivate the Star Soul Bone.

Cultivate the Azure Sky Cycle Technique to temper your bones with the power of the stars.

Occasionally, he will compete against Lu Yun'er.

Over time, Li Chunfeng's bones underwent several marrow cleansing processes, becoming increasingly resilient. They had already far surpassed the level of the Bone Refining Realm, yet continued to strengthen rapidly, seemingly without end.

His bones grew increasingly heavy, and his punching power increased daily. His blood-producing ability greatly improved, which in turn accelerated his progress in the Organ Refining Realm.

But he still didn't discover the so-called Star Bone Aperture.

a few days later.

Good news finally came from Jia Fu's office.

The two Earth-rank magic cores were successfully sold, and the Spirit Clan treasures were also disposed of.

Just when Li Chunfeng was worried about money, the God of Wealth arrived and warmly invited Jia Fu to visit Kunlun.

Jia Fu declined, explaining that he had taken too long a leave of absence and had already returned to school.

The handover was completed in Yuancheng.

Li Chunfeng politely invited him into his stone house, where they drank and chatted.

Jia Fu readily agreed, "Actually, the audience for fire-attribute earth-rank magic seeds is quite broad. The main reason is that the existence of demon-attribute ones weakens the value of magic cores, making people hesitant to take the risk. But as long as we identify the right user group, we don't need to worry about these fire-playing guys not being tempted. However, Brother Li, if there are any water-attribute earth-rank magic seeds next time, please be sure to keep an eye out for them for me."

Given how many times he has sold Earth-rank items, it's not surprising that Jia Fu could guess that he has a stable channel for acquiring Earth-rank items.

Li Chunfeng didn't care. "So Brother Jia is a water element? Earth-grade items depend on fate. I'll keep an eye out for them if I have the chance in the future."

"Then I thank you in advance, Brother Li," Jia Fu said tentatively.

Li Chunfeng did not refute, but nodded.

Seeing his performance, Jia Fu felt even more reassured and overjoyed. He had to cling to this powerful figure.

The two discussed some details of the deal.

This time, in order to manipulate these two Earth-rank items and the Spirit Clan treasure, Jia Fu actually went all the way to Lotus World.

There is a vast volcanic field there, inhabited by many fire-elemental spirits. He emphasized the Flame Demon's fire-elemental magic seed 'Demon Flame,' while in the Lotus World, there are actually many ways to counter the demon element, which would greatly increase the success rate of mastering it.

This move undoubtedly increased the value of the Flame Demon Core.

Li Chunfeng greatly admired his business acumen; he feared he could never learn such skills in his entire life.

This time, he sold two Earth-rank magic cores and many treasures, earning another 180 million Dao merits.

However, upgrading 'Soul Devourer' to the upper-grade Heaven Rank requires 34 billion.

To upgrade to the Divine Power rank, you need to multiply by 3.

Hundreds of millions of Dao power may seem like a lot, but even if you add the tens of millions of Dao power gained in the Ghost Realm, it would still be a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, he also had to take care of acquiring advanced-level Fish Dragon Grass.

It really won't be long.

Jia Fu entered the Taoist Palace of Buzhou Mountain, and the two were both in the world of mountains and seas.

He was truly terrified of spending money, and for a period of time, all he could think about was Taoist cultivation.

He then shamelessly asked Jia Fu for advice on how to make money.

Jia Fu hadn't expected that the renowned cultivation genius would be interested in this path. If Li Chunfeng wanted to discuss the Dao with him, he might have backed down. But asking about merchants' affairs had struck a chord with him.

He spoke eloquently, saying, "If we're talking about the most profitable profession, it's definitely managing small worlds. But small worlds are rare and hard to come by, and even if they appear, we can't take them down with our strength. But right now there's an opportunity that might be open to us students."

"I would like to hear the details." Li Chunfeng listened attentively.

"Recently, the Celestial Court's Heavenly Mystery Pavilion detected a new world beacon through the Nine Dragons World-Asking Instrument. The world power of that world is very strong, and it is very likely a brand new Middle Thousand World, and it is moving towards the Three Realms. Perhaps it won't be long before the Three Realms War turns into a Four Realms Contest."

Li Chunfeng was immediately surprised. He was the deputy sword master of the Sky Patrol Division, yet he didn't know such news.

On the contrary, Jia Fu was able to find out such secret information in the Taoist palace on Buzhou Mountain.

Sure enough, these businessmen always have some secret information channels that others don't know about.

"As we all know, a triangular relationship is the most stable. Right now, although the Earthly Realm, the Ghost Realm, and the Myriad Demon Realm are constantly arguing and conflicting, and it seems that a great war is about to break out, and a cross-realm decisive battle may break out again at any time, in reality, no one can defeat the others, and the situation is unusually stable. But once new forces are added, major changes are very likely to occur."

Li Chunfeng frowned sharply, pondering the underlying reasons. "Is it because of race?"

“Indeed. No one knows whether the new world is inhabited by humans, demons, or ghosts. If it weren’t one of the three races, there might still be room for maneuver. But if it is one of the three races, a great war will surely break out. This requires advance forces to investigate.”

By this point, Jia Fu's meaning was quite clear.

Li Chunfeng suddenly realized, "For cross-realm reconnaissance, we can't send high-level forces. Before the realms have merged, the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to be rejected by the realm power of the other world. Therefore, those sent to reconnoiter must be low-level forces, and they must be the elite of the elite, otherwise they will not succeed."

"That's right, that's exactly the point."

"Any land reclamation presents an opportunity to get rich quick. Of course, opportunity and risk go hand in hand."

Li Chunfeng fell into deep thought. "Thank you for informing me of this news, Brother Jia."

Jia Fu shook his head. "It's nothing. Even if I didn't tell you, with your abilities, you'd find out soon enough. This matter is urgent and has entered the promotion phase. I just don't know how the higher-ups will select people?"

"If it's a voluntary application, would Brother Jia go?"

When asked, Jia Fu was somewhat taken aback, then his expression hardened. "I think I will go. The grand plan devised by the Celestial Court's Heavenly Mystery Pavilion must have sufficient safeguards. It may seem extremely dangerous, but it will definitely have a backup plan. Fortune favors the bold, and the benefits of pioneering are not limited to wealth, Brother Li. It is said that the earliest pioneers of the Ghost Realm and the Myriad Demon Realm who are still alive are all among the Celestial Court's prospective Yang Gods."

Li Chunfeng was immediately surprised.

Oh, Yang Shen!

Upon returning, he immediately took out a Sky Patrol Sword Token and activated it for the first time, summoning his subordinates.

"……grown ups."

Shortly after, a phone call came in.
