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

Chapter 7: It's You I've Chosen! (Please add to your favorites and keep reading!)
Li Chunfeng couldn't find a safe place to form a soul contract, but fortunately, his visualization meditation had already reached a point where it was no longer bound by form and was almost instinctive.

Form the hand seals, visualize, and enter a meditative state in an instant.

Faintly, there seemed to be the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers, and a light emanated from between his brows. Although faint, it was exceptionally firm, unwavering and steadfast, as if reflecting the hearts of men.

He vaguely sensed that the vast land of mountains, waters, and bright moon was his inner inner vision.

Although he had not been cultivating the "Black Lotus Scripture of the Turbid World" for long, the accumulation of his souls from two lifetimes had caused more than 1,800 black lotus petals to float above the Heavenly Pool in his inner realm. Each petal was a manifestation of his own divine soul and thoughts.

Like stars in the sky, it is a magnificent sight.

According to the cultivation method, every twenty-four divine soul thoughts can be condensed into a complete black lotus soul power.

Li Chunfeng was struggling because his cultivation level was insufficient, and he was temporarily unable to condense the scattered petals into a complete black lotus.

The formation of the natal soul contract is somewhat different from summoning undead warriors in his previous life, but as a basic skill, Li Chunfeng had practiced it countless times in the academy and was just waiting for this opportunity to put it into practice.

As the 108 black lotus petals in the small inner scene shattered with a bang, Li Chunfeng succeeded on his first attempt, without wasting any soul power.

A complex soul contract, imbued with an ancient aura, appeared in his palm.

The next step is to find a lantern ghost of decent quality.

'Mind's Eye' is open!
With a single glance, the lantern ghost's true nature was revealed.

[Useless snack!]

[Disgusting to look at!]

[Nothing special!]

[Trash and junk!]

One punch, one kill, no one makes a sound!

……

At a glance, all the hundreds of lantern ghosts had the lowest possible qualifications.

It's not that he can't form a contract, since his natal demon pet doesn't care about his initial talent.

But if you have a better foundation, you can save some effort.

After looking around, they were mostly similar.

He stopped being picky and decided to just choose one randomly.

It saw you, frowned slightly, and slowly took a step back, shielding the other lantern ghosts in front of it!

Huh! Suddenly, a different notification message caught my eye.

Li Chunfeng walked straight toward the sixth lantern ghost, and the lantern ghosts along the way automatically made way for him, as if he were some kind of fierce demon.

The old lantern ghost was about to escape when it was captured by an invisible giant handprint, trembling and frozen in place.

An invisible force field also appeared around his body to resist.

Psychic shield?

Before Li Chunfeng could even exert his power, a gust of wind caused the shield's force field to ripple like water on a pond.

"...That's too weak."

Li Chunfeng wavered for a moment.

Just then, the lantern ghost, which had been frozen in place, seemed to know its impending fate and struggled with all its might. Suddenly, its body swayed, and the lantern split into three, managing to break free from Li Chunfeng's grasp of the Void Handprint.

It can also break free from strong crowd control skills!
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Li Chunfeng was not alarmed but rather delighted.

"Alright, Sixth Brother, it's you I've chosen!"

With a sweep of his hand, he shattered all three lanterns. The lantern ghost clones turned into green smoke and dissipated into the air, and a small lantern ghost with delicate features and a bewildered expression reappeared in the scene.

"Good, good, good. All three are actually phantom clones, while the real body is hidden behind the scenes. You're really something else."

Li Chunfeng was increasingly pleased with what he saw, and without further hesitation, he imprinted his natal soul contract onto the lantern ghost's true form.

The lantern ghost's weak resistance was no match for the impact of its natal soul contract, and it was penetrated directly into its soul.

"The big one is coming!"

Li Chunfeng focused his mind, preparing to meet the impact of the lantern ghost's primordial spirit.

According to the textbook, as long as you can withstand this wave of backlash on your soul, it means that your natal soul contract has been established.

Unfortunately, this lantern ghost was too weak. The rebellious soul force had just rushed into the small inner pool of the Heavenly Pool along the contract when it was swallowed up by the long whale of the Moonlit Heavenly Pool without even a splash.

A strange mental connection appeared in his mind.

The lantern ghost's dull eyes gradually became lively, no longer appearing simple and naive, but instead revealing a clear and lively quality in its cartoonish gaze. But this wasn't the end; there was one last step.

Li Chunfeng quickly formed the Soul-Tethering Seal, and the Lantern Ghost's true spirit emerged, directly imprinting itself into the opened soul aperture in the inner realm.

Only then can it be considered a destined demon pet.

He stretched out his palm, and a lantern ghost the size of an infant's head flew over affectionately and hovered above his palm.

"Hey~"

A miniature octagonal palace lantern.

Human skin served as lampshade, and bones served as lamp stands.

A tiny ray of light illuminated the surrounding space, which was only a few meters wide.

Bathed in this candlelight, one feels a sense of peace and tranquility, like a baby returning to its mother's embrace.

One side of the lantern features a cartoonish ghost face with a small nose, eyes, and mouth. The veil is bright red and covered with large and small "福" (good fortune) characters, giving it a very comical feel.

On a lantern cloth, facial features resembling ink paintings also appeared, with little mouths making "ee-ya-ee-ya" sounds, like dolls that hadn't woken up yet, and making various cute movements.

"Is it because of the natal soul contract? It seems to be behaving differently from other lantern ghosts."

"Let me give you a name. From now on, you'll be called...Randeng!"

The first stage of refining the spirit is the realm of entering the divine, and the second stage is the realm of burning the lamp.

The cultivation of these two realms focuses on stabilizing a person's three souls and seven spirits, and then forming a divine embryo. Therefore, the third realm of refining the spirit is the realm of the divine embryo.

Named after the second major realm of human soul cultivation, it is also a hope that one's natal soul pet will have a good omen in the future and leave a mark on history.

"Hey~"

The lamplighter shouted excitedly, celebrating its new name.

Li Chunfeng smiled, then crushed the lantern ghost with a single pinch, and the lantern ghost turned into green smoke and disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already inside his soul.

Surrounded by high mountains in the inner landscape, the image of the lantern ghost emerges from a 'bright moon'. In the vast soul space, it wanders freely, utterly carefree.

It likes it here.

A pure, childlike joyful thought spreads through my heart.

Li Chunfeng grinned, and influenced by him, the pressure brought by the abyss calamity finally subsided somewhat.

When a cultivator contracts with a natal demon pet, the power of their divine soul will also be fed back to them.

Unfortunately, this lantern ghost was too weak, so this feedback was practically nonexistent.

Once a pet becomes a natal spirit, it will be inextricably linked to its master's soul. If the natal spirit dies in the future, the master's own soul will also suffer severe damage.

Even if there is still a possibility of recovery, it must be a top-tier healing treasure made from high-grade natural materials.

After the contract was signed, [Mind's Eye] gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Lantern Ghost.

[Lantern]: A type of lantern ghost or monster. Level 1 levitation.

【talent】:
1. Soul Devouring (Low-grade Mortal)

II. Heart Lamp (Highest Grade in Mortal Realm)

[Spell]:
Soul Fireball (Mortal Rank 1), Phantom Clone (Mortal Rank 1), Psychic Shield (Mortal Rank 1)
……

"Floating" means being outside the mainstream and not entering the ranks.

In short, it is the mortal level, just like a cultivator of the divine soul before they open their divine aperture.

This was expected.

Without high expectations, there is no disappointment.

Because Li Chunfeng only had eyes for the 'Soul Devourer' ability.

Next is the point.

Li Chunfeng took out a soul-summoning incense stick and lit it. The smoke condensed in the night wind and did not dissipate until it finally drifted away.

In a short while, a large number of lantern ghosts gathered nearby.

Each one of them had a mischievous look on their face, and their delicate features showed little expressions of squinting eyes, like babies enjoying nursing.
