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

Chapter 39: The Nine-Lives Cat Demon (Please continue reading)

The Soul Nourishing Tower is a special magical artifact with unique functions. Li Chunfeng spent over 300,000 Dao merits to buy three of them for rotation in order to acquire the Lantern Ghost.

At this moment, a sweep of divine sense revealed that there were at least a million people inside the tower.

"Do so many people have nothing better to do than catch lantern ghosts for a few points of Taoist merit?"

After asking around, I learned that he had misunderstood the missions in the mission hall.

After arriving in the Ghost Realm, Li Chunfeng was preoccupied with the First Tribulation and hadn't undertaken any missions himself. Later, he made a small fortune during the First Tribulation, instantly solving his shortage of cultivation resources. Naturally, he was unaware of the living conditions of ordinary cultivators.

In fact, the vast majority of cultivators who come to the Ghost Realm are at the Divine Realm or the Burning Lamp Realm.

Although there are thresholds for the first two realms of a Soul Cultivator, as long as one has sufficient cultivation resources, is not stupid, and is diligent enough, one can most likely overcome them by spending some time.

The third realm, the Divine Embryo Realm, is the first truly significant hurdle on the path of cultivation, enough to prevent 90% of cultivators from making any progress, and many spend their entire lives lingering outside the Divine Embryo Realm.

Without forming a divine embryo, one cannot achieve immortality.

The Divine Embryo Realm is something that countless cultivators can only dream of, sigh in despair, and never reach. It is also the lifelong pursuit of many cultivators.

The treasures that the Celestial Court has announced so far, which can assist in the formation of a divine embryo, are all extremely precious and not everyone can obtain them. If one could acquire even one of them, it would greatly increase the probability of embryo formation, and at the very least, it would ensure that one would not lose their life if embryo formation failed.

Therefore, there are quite a few low-level cultivators who rely on the mission hall for their livelihood in order to earn Dao merit.

Lantern ghosts are everywhere in the Ghost Realm, and they are not difficult to catch. Even when Li Chunfeng first arrived, a complete newbie, he could easily catch a lantern ghost in the mass grave.

Such low-level tasks, seemingly offering meager rewards, could easily be overlooked by those lacking experience or with overly high standards. However, cultivators who frequently complete tasks to earn cultivation points can easily discern the substantial profits involved and thus have no reason to look down on them.

Li Chunfeng left behind over a million Dao power points in the mission hall, and half of them have already been used up.

He checked the task records and saw that there were daily expenses, and the amount of expenses was increasing day by day, while the settlement time was also becoming more stable.

It's likely that several teams have their eyes on this task and are treating it as a routine task.

That's fine too; spending money to buy time saves a lot of effort.

Li Chunfeng transferred another five million Dao merits to the mission account to prevent the mission from stalling. Simultaneously, this five million funds instantly propelled the mission to the top page of the mission hall panel, making it visible to a wider audience.

Small guesthouse.

"Aim~"

A white cat perched on the eaves and meowed at him.

"Senior Cat".

Li Chunfeng bowed respectfully.

The white cat leaped and landed lightly on his shoulder, "Meow~"

He understood; they were asking him what made him so happy.

Li Chunfeng smiled, knowing that his 'mental invisibility' was still not up to par, and that the white cat had easily captured his thoughts and emotions.

He imitated the landlady, lifting the white cat off his shoulder, and the cat didn't resist.

"I am quite happy. I have made great progress in my cultivation recently. Even the Second Tribulation cannot stop me. I am naturally happy that there are no obstacles to my cultivation."

More spiritual practice, how boring!
The white cat yawned, stretched lazily, tucked its paws into his arms, and closed its eyes.

Li Chunfeng paused for a moment, then simply carried it back to his dormitory.

This white cat was far more powerful than him, and his "mind's eye" could detect very little information, only that it was a "nine-lived cat demon." This was an extremely rare and precious bloodline of the demon race, most famous for possessing nine lives.

If you have nine lives, who would dare to mess with you?

The white cat is letting him hold it, which is a sign of respect; he should just be secretly happy about it.

After returning to his room, Li Chunfeng placed the white cat on the bed and said, "Senior Cat, I'm going to Yuancheng to cultivate."

"Meow~" The white cat curiously raised its head.

Li Chunfeng nodded, and without avoiding it, opened the door in front of it, revealing a hazy light gate.

A flash of white light, and the white cat crashed into the light gate, causing ripples to spread throughout the space.

Li Chunfeng was startled. Looking again, he saw that the portal was completely undamaged, but the white cat had been knocked over and was furious. It bared its teeth at the portal, arched its back, its fur stood on end, and its tail was held high. Li Chunfeng smiled and held up his palm for the cat to see. "Without the Boundary Key, you cannot enter Abyss City. Senior Cat, I'm leaving."

He immediately stepped through the portal, and the portal disappeared.

The white cat blinked in confusion, scratched at the door a few times, easily making several large holes in it, but found nothing.

"Xiao Jiu, you're being silly again."

A gentle figure appeared at the doorway, and the white cat instantly became submissive, pointing its paw at the door and meowing.

The proprietress's eyes were somewhat vacant. "Yuancheng, how enviable it is."

Li Chunfeng could openly display Yuancheng because, in the eyes of the higher-ups, it was no secret.

However, he could not merge souls in front of the white cat.

He had rearranged his private stone house, turning it into a simple little retreat.

Arriving at the central prayer mat, he sat down upright. First, he silently recited the calming mantra, then took out a bottle of spirit-restoring pills for later use. Only then did he take out the Soul-Nourishing Pagoda, release a large number of lantern ghosts, manifest a small inner realm, and begin the grand and spectacular soul-fusion synthesis.

The lantern ghosts were continuously thrown into the vortex, accompanied by incessant thunder and lightning.

Repeating the same actions over and over again would likely lead to numbness if one lacked strong willpower.

After a while, 'Soul Eater', which was on the verge of advancing, took the lead and leveled up.

Top grade yellow grade.

The Soul Devouring efficiency increased by 20%, and the leveling speed of the Burning Lamp was also accelerated.

To progress from Yellow Rank Upper Grade to Black Rank Lower Grade, 531,441 Lantern Ghosts are required.

To progress from low-grade Xuan rank to mid-grade Xuan rank, you'll need 1,594,323 lantern ghosts. You're in for a busy time.

It was three days later when he finished synthesizing all the millions of lantern ghosts in the Soul Nourishing Tower.

The thunder and lightning, the turmoil and chaos in the small inner scene had lasted for three days. Even Li Chunfeng's most resilient nerves had become numb by this time.

Not wanting to even glance at the lantern ghost, he returned to the inn in the modern world and fell asleep immediately.

It took me a full sixteen hours of sleep to recover.

He had just woken up when he felt a heavy weight on his chest; a large white cat was curled up on his chest, purring softly.

Li Chunfeng paused, then pushed it aside. The white cat flicked its long tail and continued to sleep soundly.

"Is it male or female?"

Just as I was rummaging around for a bit, intending to open it up and take a look, the white cat suddenly stood up agitatedly, its paw snapping out, "Meow~"

Li Chunfeng immediately backed down, "I won't look, I won't look. You haven't looked yet, can you read minds?" He was really worried that if he spoke even a second later, he would have three cat paw prints on his face.

"Meow!"

"Okay, okay, I admit my mistake. I'm sorry, I'll treat you to spicy snacks later."

So pretentious, she must be a catgirl.

"aim?"

"Spicy strips, delicious, and you keep your word."

After much persuasion, we finally managed to calm it down temporarily.

A cold sweat broke out on his brow; high-level demon spirits were far too dangerous to deal with. He had made the mistake of relying on past experience, treating demon spirits like pet cats. If this were the Demon Realm, they would undoubtedly be powerful demons.

With a thought, a larger lamp appeared swaying overhead.

The gentle glow of the Heart Lamp illuminates the entire space. Bathed in its light, one's soul is instantly filled with peace, and all negative emotions vanish.

The white cat squinted at it for a moment, then ignored it.
