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

Chapter 192: A Shiver Startled

【The Chaotic Ancient Demonic Embryo Scripture - Fourth/Twelfth Level: Level 10 (∞/∞)】

Characteristics: Demonic embryo stirs, divine energy interacts!
The first three realms of martial arts are the three realms of physical cultivation: refining strength, strengthening bones, and refining internal organs.

In martial arts, there are three realms, also known as the Three Realms of Ascension: Blood Refining, Elixir Embracing, and True Martial.

Li Chunfeng has now perfected the Nine Refinements of Blood, and his body refinement has penetrated deep into his bone marrow. He has gathered his essence, intention, and spirit into his bone marrow, reaching a subtle state where he can control every pore, heartbeat, blood, and breath. The masculine energy of his blood, now unified with his spirit and flesh, is powerful enough to destroy a yin spirit.

Having grasped the essence of the fist, one's eyes can flash with a white light like lightning, turning the dark room white and piercing the void.

Simultaneously, due to cultivating the Heavenly Rank - Star Soul Bone, and having the fortuitous absorption of the primordial star power of a star beast, his bones were tempered to the level of golden bones. This greatly accelerated his physical body refinement progress, allowing him to achieve the state of cleansing his marrow and refining his blood to be as pure as mercury, resulting in a flawless body and clean, fragrant blood. His physical attributes also increased significantly, enabling him to compete in strength with a giant whale demon in the sea.

The next step is to embrace the elixir, which unites the spirit and blood, making the blood vigorous and the mind incredibly sharp, with uncanny foresight.

Once one's martial arts cultivation reaches the Core Formation stage, one will have a special premonition of danger. Like a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it even blows. Of course, those who cultivate both martial arts and spiritual power do not value this. Furthermore, their fist intent and spirit will be highly condensed, capable of breaking through all evil spells. Their blood energy alone can cover an area of ​​several dozen feet, preventing ordinary spirits from getting close.

The most prominent characteristic of the Embracing Elixir Realm is undoubtedly the Dan Strength.

The so-called Dan Jin refers to the integration of all the body's strength into one, the unification of Qi and blood, complete control, and unparalleled physical strength. After throwing a full-force punch, one can recover all their strength in the blink of an eye.

Being able to unleash a full-force punch in every battle will undoubtedly greatly enhance one's combat power.

A martial artist at the Core Formation Realm is also known as a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If a Soul Cultivator is approached by a Core Formation Realm Grandmaster, even if the Grandmaster is at a higher level (Dharma Aspect (Transformation God) Realm), their life will be in danger.

Even after a martial artist at the Core Formation Realm dies and is cremated, some of their bones will not burn away. Instead, they will be burned into beads that are as hard and exquisite as diamonds. These beads are the essence of the bones and are excellent materials for evil cultivators to refine magical artifacts.

Of course, even if Li Chunfeng died, his golden bones could not be melted by ordinary fire, no matter how long it burned.

After clarifying the cultivation path of the Embracing Core Realm, Li Chunfeng immediately activated the fifth level of the Demon Embryo Scripture, fusing his martial arts intent and spirit with his blood and demonic embryo.

He didn't spend too much time comprehending the spirit of his fist, but the Star Soul Bone was of such a high level that he naturally grasped the 'Star Fist Intent'.

'Starry Sky Fist Intent' is a profound fist intent that uses celestial phenomena as a reference. It is a power that can break through the laws of heaven and earth by relying on physical strength. Wherever the fist force goes, it can shatter the void and tear the sky apart with a single punch. Moreover, 'Starry Sky Fist Intent' is vast and profound, as deep and unattainable as the sea of ​​stars. It is an intent that he could not fully comprehend even if he devoted his entire life to it. As the main fist intent he cultivated, it did not disgrace his Heavenly Rank title.

Li Chunfeng immediately integrated the spirit of "Starry Sky Fist" with his Qi and Blood Demon Embryo.

"Plop plop~"

The Qi and Blood Demon Embryo immediately began to beat like a heart, and with each beat, it condensed the Qi and Blood throughout the body.

His vital energy surged like smoke, soaring into the sky as he condensed his own unique Starry Sky Fist spirit. The purification of his physical body also brought about a flawless and perfect mind, with his divine soul moving freely and nimbly. Even without using his movement techniques, he could cover a hundred paces in the blink of an eye, and a single punch could easily create a sonic boom, capable of striking hundreds of times in an instant.

Li Chunfeng finally experienced the feeling of Feng Yang and other masters who could break through all laws with their fists.

I wonder if Brother Feng Yang has broken through to the Blood Refining Realm yet?
"If they are still lingering in the Blood Refining Realm, then I have already surpassed them."

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but feel a little smug.

My mind once again sank into the broken jade disc:
【Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture - Fifth/Twelfth Level: Level 1 (10/1000)】

Features: Demonic fetus conceives true meaning, regulates and produces vital energy, and automatically transports Qi and blood twice as much!

When the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture" is cultivated to the fifth level, it is the final process of the Demon Embryo Foundation Building, and its extraordinary nature is finally revealed, which can improve the efficiency of automatic cultivation by two times.

Qi and blood demonic embryo, external saint and internal demon, automatic and multiplied speed, constantly cultivating, this is the fundamental reason why the Ancient Buddha of Chaos was able to achieve a reversal.

Furthermore, the "Chaotic Ancient Axe Technique" has already mastered four moves: Chaotic Ancient Guillotine! Slaughtering All Directions Slash! Phoenix Soaring Wings! Elusive Slash!
However, the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe is still a third-tier divine weapon.

To upgrade to the fourth tier, you need 'Tiankui Subway' and 'Dihu Gold'.

To upgrade to the fifth tier, you need 'Myriad Iron' and 'Mushroom Golden Sand'.

These are all precious materials that Li Chunfeng has not yet been able to collect.

He could only ask Li Liang from the Imperial Academy to help him collect some materials. Meanwhile, Lu Yun'er in Yuan City would also keep an eye out. He believed that with enough money, they could eventually gather all the materials.

Upon entering the Core Formation stage, Li Chunfeng's strength greatly increased. Using only martial arts techniques, he was able to conceal his qi and blood, as well as all his life force, making it difficult for even divine sense to detect.

Once the spirit of the fist reaches its peak, the fist intent and the demonic embryo are fused into one. Then, one can forget the method after obtaining it, and form a unique fist intent aura in battle, which even the primordial spirit of Bu Xu Zhenren dares not approach easily.

Li Chunfeng activated the demonic embryo cultivation, feeling his blood and qi surging like a river within his body.

This power is truly awe-inspiring.

Another three months have passed.

The foundational chapter of the "Nine Revolutions Chaotic Will Sword Body Technique" was completed later than expected.

The resources consumed during this period were so expensive that even the wealthy and powerful Mr. Li felt the pinch.

Fortunately, this method has been cultivated to the eighteenth level, and I am about to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

In other words, he can now advance to the second stage of sword body transformation.

However, before that, one needs to learn the cultivation techniques after the eighteenth level.

He returned to Yuancheng and tried to contact Han Fan, but Han Fan was not in Yuancheng.

Li Chunfeng played a few rounds of sword duels as usual, then prepared to go back to cultivate.

Lu Yun'er then entered the city. "Little madwoman, you've finally entered the city!"

"I've been at a critical stage in my cultivation recently and haven't had time to go to Yuan City."

"Come quick, come quick, there's good news."

Li Chunfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran over eagerly, "Coming!"

Inside Lu Yun'er's private cabin, the girl, beaming with joy, took out two storage treasures as if presenting them as precious gems. One of them was a magic-grade Soul Nourishing Tower.

Li Chunfeng grinned. "Finally, you've acquired everything. What price did you get for the star beast bones?"

Lu Yun'er smiled and said, "Star Beast bones are extremely valuable, and can be used as the keel of large flying boats. Each one is worth no less than ten million. Some of the more powerful bones even sold for a sky-high price of fifty million Dao power. Adding the Abyss Giant Monster and the previous batch of items, after paying taxes, we received a total of 15.3 billion Dao power!"

"I have followed your plan and partially acquired some of the first-tier Fish-Dragon Grass from the Supreme Pill Dao Company, and used the rest to acquire Lantern Ghosts!"

Li Chunfeng was quite impatient; after months of waiting, the goods had finally arrived.

How many are there?

"Approximately 30 million Tier 1 Fish-Dragon Grasses, with an average price of around 15 Dao Gong, costing a total of 450 million Dao Gong."

Li Chunfeng nodded. It was the old price.

"There are quite a few Lantern Ghosts, over 110 billion. The number is too large for me to count precisely. When you use it, you can keep an eye on it to see if the data is inflated. Oh, by the way, the Ghost Realm Mercenary Mission Hall has already upgraded your privileges to the highest VIP level, so the number should be quite large."

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yun'er pretended to wipe her forehead, snorted, raised her fair chin, and said arrogantly, "You know that's good!"

"My training hasn't lagged behind either. Although I can't compare to you, I've already cleared forty floors of the Sword Tower."

Her tone was somewhat proud, and she looked at him expectantly, clearly trying to be cute and get praise.

Li Chunfeng, however, was oblivious to the pleasantries and failed to respond. "Your fifth tribulation is approaching. It won't be long before your strength greatly increases, making it safer for you to overcome the fifth tribulation. I will be spending more time in Yuan City recently, so please come up here in three days."

Lu Yun'er pouted, "Okay."

"But you shouldn't provoke the abyssal behemoths anymore. It's ridiculous that you would even think of fighting a third-tier abyssal behemoth. You're all alone in the Spirit Realm, without any mentors to support you. It's too dangerous."

Li Chunfeng smiled but did not reply.

He began the tedious work of synthesis, while Taiyi was sent away to conduct an investigation of the Dragon Horn Tribe with Xingling.

Three days later, Lu Yun'er entered the city again.

Under Li Chunfeng's watchful eye, a soul contract was formed with a unique lantern ghost.

Lu Yun'er was extremely nervous, but Li Chunfeng was already well prepared. With the help of the lantern ghost "ancestor" Ran Deng, even the Lu Ming body, which belonged to the life and light attributes, successfully completed the soul contract with the lantern ghost of the ghost attribute.

A feeling of telepathy welled up inside her, and Lu Yun'er curiously summoned the Lantern Spirit. A tiny, extremely faint lantern flew out and swayed as it approached Lu Yun'er. It conjured two small arms, hugged her face, and pressed them together!
Lu Yun'er exclaimed happily, "So cute! I have my own lantern ghost now!"

"Ee, ee~"

"Haha, don't call me Mom, call me Sister. Let me give you a name, hmm..." She glanced at Li Chunfeng with a puzzled look, "I'll call you Little Fengfeng, ha!"

"Hey~"

Li Chunfeng declined to comment on her naming skills.

After the master and pet finished communicating their feelings, he turned serious and said, "Only a newly born lantern ghost can be contracted. This one is too weak and cannot shoulder the responsibility. The next step is crucial. This is also my first time helping someone else with soul fusion. I don't know what will happen later. You must be in sync with me and must not have any resistance."

"Hmm." Lu Yun'er also became serious.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other, regulated their breathing, and after replenishing their energy, they began to make thorough preparations for the soul fusion.

Li Chunfeng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a thought flashed through his mind, and his inner world was revealed to the outside.

This wasn't the first time Lu Yun'er had witnessed Li Chunfeng reveal his inner world, but this time, experiencing it up close made the feeling particularly strong. Perhaps it was because Li Chunfeng's realm was already extremely high, but being within his domain, Lu Yun'er's spiritual pressure was suppressed to a very low level, and she couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

Moreover, the current inner world has changed significantly since our encounter in the grove outside the Ghost Realm Canyon City.

A lush Bodhi tree surrounded the area, giving it an unbreakable feel, while a bright lamp overhead, like a small sun, illuminated the heart, warming the soul and bringing an unprecedented sense of peace.

As Li Chunfeng's thoughts raced, three vortexes representing the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man appeared in the Heavenly Pool, with a small altar island rising at its very center.

"Place your personal lantern spirit in the altar and appease it."

He gave the instructions via telepathy.

Lu Yun'er immediately complied.

Li Chunfeng summoned three low-grade mortal lantern ghosts to begin Xiao Fengfeng's first soul fusion synthesis.

Suddenly, thunder and lightning surged forth, and towering waves roared within the Heavenly Pool, a terrifying spectacle spreading as if divine retribution was imminent. Lu Yun'er, witnessing such a scene for the first time, was utterly astonished.

The process of soul fusion, from beginning to end, took only a moment. Xiao Fengfeng's talent had already been raised to the mid-grade of the mortal level.

Everything went smoothly, and Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he thought the following process would be a simple synthesis, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

As if he had just had the most intimate contact with someone, Li Chunfeng suddenly shuddered, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Lu Yun'er also looked bewildered, but her face instantly turned bright red. Her large eyes stared at Li Chunfeng, her red lips pressed tightly together, her cheeks flushed as if they were about to bleed. Her expression was a mix of shyness, indignation, anticipation, and embarrassment.

"Sizzle, sizzle~"

Just moments before, the instant the soul fusion was successful, Lu Yun'er's soul was forcefully invaded by Li Chunfeng's intense spiritual thoughts, instantly becoming crystalline and then turning pink.

Seeing her expression, Li Chunfeng finally realized belatedly, "What have I done?!"

The fusion of the soul and spirit of a cultivator is completed unintentionally.

This is just like the most intimate contact between husband and wife, no different from that between husband and wife. In fact, it is even more profound, reaching a fusion of souls, which is something that can only be done between lovers.

The jolt I just felt was like I'd been jolted awake by Lu Yun'er.

Li Chunfeng fell silent, then slapped himself hard across the face.

Even with the toughness of his skin, this slap left a clear five-finger mark.

"Don't!"

Lu Yun'er grabbed his self-harming hand.

"I'm sorry, Yoona, I didn't know this would happen!"

"I...I'm willing." Lu Yun'er lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Looking at her shy and pretty appearance, Li Chunfeng suddenly reached out and pulled her soft and boneless body into his arms.

Lu Yun'er's body trembled, and she let out a groan before her mouth was sealed shut.

An enchanting atmosphere permeated the entire pink private grotto.

Three days later.

With incredible self-control, Li managed to pull himself out of the throes of pleasure and complete this sensual and soul-stirring journey of intimacy.

A brand new lantern ghost named Xiaofengfeng appeared before them.

[Little Wind]: Level 10 Evil Spirit (Tier 2)
【talent】:
Soul Devourer (High-grade Earth Rank)
(Soul-Capturing Whip, Soul-Devouring Fang Armor)

Heart Lamp (Lower Grade of Heavenly Rank)
(The halo of the heart's lamp, the great protective barrier of the heart's lamp and shadow)

[Spell]:
灵魂火弹（天阶3级）、念力护盾（天阶1级）、念力拳头（天阶1级）、幻影分身（地阶5级）、烽火狼烟（玄阶9级）。

A total of over 1.9 million lantern ghosts were used.

Earth-rank - Phantom Clone: ​​It can split into 108,000 clones.

Unfortunately, both Lu Yun'er and Xiao Fengfeng were forced to grow up too quickly, and their soul power reserves were seriously insufficient compared to Randeng at the same time.

For a long time, Lu Yun'er was even unable to fully unleash the 'Earth-Rank Phantom Clone' technique even once.

Even so, with this lantern ghost possessing the Heaven-rank 'Heart Lamp' and Earth-rank 'Soul Devouring' talents, Lu Yun'er's strength not only doubled, but increased exponentially.

She finally understood what Li Chunfeng felt when he ranked the Qingyun Ranking.

Moreover, this unexpected fusion of souls was equivalent to a joint cultivation between Daoist partners, bringing considerable benefits to both of them. Lu Yun'er's soul pressure more than doubled, while Li Chunfeng's soul became more agile, imbued with a sense of yin and yang harmony.

This made the Black Lotus Divine Embryo even more vivid.
