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

Chapter 64: The True Wonder of the Demonic Embryo

A week later, Li Chunfeng saw Lu Yun'er off in Yuancheng.

With her abilities, she can easily overcome the second Abyss Tribulation, but to become a god... depends on fate.

Taking a step back will ensure a safe passage through the ordeal.

Going further, it could lead to an abyss.

Is it better to choose safety?

Or should I choose to strive for improvement?

This is something that no one can persuade you of; it concerns Lu Yun'er's future, and only she can make the decision herself.

Li Chunfeng did not become too engrossed in it.

After a short rest, I continued my practice step by step.

Ruins of the Dark Abyss.

This is the first day of his 'Hundred Days of Soul Cultivation'. His divine skill of entering a meditative state in an instant, which he usually possesses, seems to have failed him today.

He recited the "Mind-Calming Mantra" dozens of times before finally clearing his mind of distractions. He felt his head clear and entered a meditative state. All distracting thoughts dissipated, and his mind became calm and focused, without any impatience or worry.

Countless black lotus buds shattered, and Li Chunfeng gradually felt his divine soul power surging as if it were a tangible force, slowly flowing into the black lotus soul seed according to his will.

His current state is quite peculiar. His entire consciousness is immersed in the Black Lotus Soul Seed, as if he were an infant in his mother's womb, eagerly absorbing nutrients and growing continuously.

When they tasted the first drop of divine soul power, they were surprised to find it had a "sweet" flavor.

As more and more divine soul power is "ingested," the entire soul seed is sublimating, and the soul pressure is gradually increasing.

One hundred, two hundred...

One thousand, two thousand, three thousand strands of soul power...

On the first day of soul nurturing, Li Chunfeng consumed 3,600 strands of divine soul power, which was truly unbelievable.

He believed that even if others expended their soul power, they could never have such a massive amount.

If everyone's energy expenditure is this high, let alone a hundred days, it might not be possible to successfully nurture a soul even in several years.

Just as he finished meditating for the day, a surge of qi and blood suddenly jumped in his lower abdomen, dantian.

"what's the situation?"

This mass of qi and blood is none other than the qi and blood demonic embryo that condensed when the first level of the "Chaotic Ancient Demonic Embryo Scripture" was completed. The first level of the qi and blood demonic embryo, apart from increasing physical attributes by 50%, has no other special uses, and it is never seen to have any unusual activity. What's going on today?

The "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture" he obtained was ultimately incomplete. If he didn't figure out the reason for the anomaly, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

He immediately scanned the Qi and Blood Demon Embryo with his mind and discovered that what was originally just an irregular mass of condensed Qi and Blood had gradually grown into the shape of a ginseng fruit. Human facial features were vaguely emerging on its head, and its tightly closed eyes seemed to be incomplete. But wasn't this tiny, miniature version of Li himself?

Li Chunfeng took a light breath.

Silently practice the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture" technique, focusing your mind on your dantian and regulating your breathing.

With each exhale, the breath rises from the center of the abdomen and is exhaled. With each inhale, the breath sinks directly into the dantian.

With the qi and blood fully mobilized, with each breath, turbid qi emerges from the dantian and pure qi sinks to the dantian, operating naturally and achieving effects ten times greater than deliberate control.

At this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit were in perfect harmony. With each breath, the blood and qi within his body underwent a new transformation, almost all of which was under his perception. As the breathing cycle gradually formed, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the blessed land entered his body with each breath, transforming into a faint current of energy that flowed into his dantian with each inhale.

The Qi and Blood Demon Embryo also follows the rhythm, breathing in and out with each opening and closing of its mouth.

The body's Qi and blood circulate normally, but most people cannot perceive or control them. Only with deeper spiritual practice can the mind mobilize Qi and blood for internal circulation.

There are also methods for cultivating internal energy, but those are only required for those at the Refining Organs stage.

Generally speaking, the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist is sufficient for him to cultivate in the Bone Refining Realm.

Li Chunfeng carefully studied the movements for a while but found nothing wrong with them. He immediately got up and began practicing his boxing seriously again.

"When practicing boxing, one should act as if there is someone present even when there is no one there; when in combat, one should act as if there is no one present even when there is someone present. Only by mobilizing the inner potential of the whole body and coordinating the momentum, intention, energy, and strength can one achieve a higher level of boxing."

He hadn't quite understood the meaning of that sentence before, but now, after completing a set of Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, he felt it flowed more smoothly and freely than usual. He had gained a deeper understanding of the sentence, finding it very philosophical and worthy of his careful contemplation.

A moment later, the practice ended, but the energy of the body still followed the same pattern as during the practice, circulating automatically. However, the efficiency was more than a hundred times weaker than when the energy was mobilized voluntarily during practice.

"Automatic cultivation?"

Time passed little by little.

Li Chunfeng conducted numerous tests and examinations, finally managing to understand the specific changes in the 'Qi and Blood Demon Embryo':

After the Qi and Blood Demon Embryo acquired five senses, it seemed to awaken a certain function that could mobilize the subconscious.

It can follow a fixed cycle of Qi and blood, spontaneously circulating the power of Qi and blood within the body. It has long been said that Taoism has many profound techniques that can be practiced while sitting, lying down, standing, or walking.

Now his 'Qi and Blood Demon Embryo' can do the same thing, which is equivalent to being in a state of continuous, AFK training, only the efficiency is quite slow.

So this is the true secret of the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture".

Although this function cannot improve efficiency much when one is in the third stage of physical cultivation, since one's qi and blood cannot form a complete circulation.

But what about the Blood Refining Realm?

Each time the Qi and blood circulates through the body, the Qi and blood power will automatically increase by one point, saving more than just time and resources.

"No wonder the Ancient Buddha of Chaos failed for most of his life, yet was able to achieve a great reversal in the later stages. This is definitely an unparalleled divine skill for the late game!"

At this moment, Li Chunfeng suddenly felt an intense urge to obtain the subsequent techniques of the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture".

But can he ever return to the chaotic ancient world?

……

This day.

The mission hall called to inform him that his acquisition mission was complete.

Finish?

"My acquisition mission is a long-term one, so how can it be completed in a short time?"

Li Chunfeng arrived at the mission hall with doubts, and the staff immediately handed him several Soul Nourishing Towers, one of which was particularly large.

"A total of 3.35 million+ non-ranked Lantern Ghosts, plus 300 million+ ranked Lantern Ghosts, would you like to count them?"

Li Chunfeng was stunned. "How much?"

When I left last time, there were still several million Dao power points in the mission fund pool, but in less than a month, they have all been spent.

The staff member repeated the numbers, "Sir, your mission funds are insufficient. If you don't top up, the acquisition mission will have to be canceled."

Li Chunfeng remained expressionless. "...I have no money left."

"Okay, we'll cancel the task for you." The staff member's eyes were full of curiosity, but he still handled the work seriously.

Li Chunfeng suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute, this number seems to be more than the number of acquisitions?"

"Yes, some teams are too lazy to count the numbers when they hand in their tasks, so they just round up the numbers based on a high probability. Later, when the task fund pool ran out and the tasks were forced to stop, those who did the tasks found the lantern ghosts useless, so they gave you all the extra lantern ghosts. So this number is more than expected, so you can rest assured."

"Is that so? Thank you very much."

Li Chunfeng was still a little dazed, but he took the Soul Nourishing Towers and walked straight out.

"Please wait a moment, sir. This magic treasure-level Soul Nourishing Tower is the property of our guild. A magic artifact-level Soul Nourishing Tower cannot hold so many Lantern Ghosts. After you have transferred all the Lantern Ghosts, you will need to return this Soul Nourishing Tower."

Li Chunfeng then realized that this Soul Nourishing Tower was actually a magic treasure. "How much Dao cultivation do I need to buy it?"

They spent an additional 1.2 million Dao power to acquire this magic treasure-level Soul Nourishing Tower.

When he returned to the inn, he finally realized something.

After accounting for his cultivation expenses during this period, he only had 1.8 million Dao power left in his pocket.

Busy and restless, going around in circles, I finally ended up living like a poor person again.

But this time, Li didn't feel particularly distressed.

The scariest thing in life is dying but still having money.

Being able to convert all money into strength is also a skill.

If one could truly invest all these Taoist skills into oneself, turning money into power, countless people would probably envy and be jealous of that.

Li Chunfeng pinched a handful of soul crystals and fed a few to Randeng to satisfy his craving.

Then it was crushed into powder and thrown into the Soul Nourishing Tower.

Add some nutrients to the Soul Nourishing Tower to prevent these lantern ghosts from killing each other.

While upgrading 'Soul Devouring' only requires a non-ranked Lantern Ghost, ranked Lantern Ghosts are generally geniuses within their clan, and the probability of encountering various rare spells is much higher among them. Spending a little more money is worthwhile.

They then entered Yuan City and began the long and tedious journey of soul fusion.

Li Chunfeng believed it.

After he emerges from seclusion this time, his strength will surely reach a whole new level.
