【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level Two: 3 (3000/4000)】

Characteristics: The Black Lotus Undying Soul, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Combined, Divine Thought Transformed into Divine Consciousness, Condensing the Black Lotus Divine Embryo.

Supported by powerful divine soul energy, the life soul lamp was lit for the first time and had already reached the Lesser Perfection realm.

Each person who cultivates the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World" will have a unique ability when their "Black Lotus Undying Soul" is born. Li Chunfeng also felt the unique ability of his own Black Lotus Undying Soul.

'Black Lotus Undying Soul: Resurrected, Undying!'

Recovery: As long as one is in darkness, the speed at which one's spiritual power recovers will greatly increase.

In a place teeming with spiritual energy, one can automatically recover a portion of spiritual power in the blink of an eye. This ability is passive and unaffected by your actions; moreover, as your spiritual realm improves, the 'revival' effect will also increase.

It suits him perfectly.

His spiritual power is increasing, and he needs to take several pills each time he takes them. With such a miraculous, indestructible soul, how much money he could save on pills!

The indestructibility is relative, which is also a characteristic of the practice of the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World".

It's far from the legendary realm of immortality.

But at least it won't shatter your soul with a single shout from a powerful being, greatly improving the safety of your spirit.

At the same time, Li Chunfeng also sensed that the boundary of the second soul aperture was loosening. He tried to break through it, and ripples spread across the boundary, seemingly about to be broken through, but he could not break through that thin membrane.

Is it because the feelings aren't deep enough, or because the tool isn't long enough?

Forced melons aren't salty; we'll just have to wait and see.

He then summoned his natal demon pet.

"Hey~"

The lamp transformed into tiny hands, hugged his big face, and pressed them together.

Li Chunfeng picked up the lamp with a look of disgust, fed it a few soul crystals, and temporarily cured the damned clinginess.

"It's time. It's your turn to advance. Don't let Daddy down."

"咿咿~"

The lantern ghost clenched its fists, its face resolute. To show its determination, it even set itself ablaze, causing a three-zhang-high (approximately 10 meters) flame to rise from the top of the lantern.

Li Chunfeng nodded in satisfaction.

Children need encouragement in their education, he said with certainty, "That's right, that's the kind of drive you need. Remember, go all out and complete the transformation. Today is the day you break through to the Yaksha realm."

Demons and monsters, belonging to the category of ghosts and monsters, also have their own unique realms and branches.

Third-tier demons are called Yaksha Realm.

[Ghosts and monsters—ghosts, evil spirits, yakshas; spirits of the underworld, the Mirror Abyss, the Great Camellia; gods and spirits, the River Styx, the netherworld!]

Not only ghosts and monsters, but all races and beings from different worlds have different cultivation systems. Naturally, the names of their cultivation realms will also differ.

It would be strange if there were a uniform distinction between them.

But no matter how they are divided, they all ultimately arrive at the same conclusion: the strength and realm of all realms revolve around the ninth rank. The Earthly Realm also habitually distinguishes strength by rank and realm when interacting with the outside world.

(Note: I have made many detailed classifications of realms, which may be tedious, but regardless of the realm, I will indicate which level it is. Not remembering them will not affect your reading; just look at which level it is.)
However, rank and realm do not completely correspond to one's actual strength. Some races are born weaker and, even if they reach a high realm, they don't have much strength.

Even among humans, there are those who are also at the Burning Lamp Realm.

There are also those whose strengths differ greatly from each other.

Geniuses are everywhere.

Ran Deng's accumulated power was far greater than Li Chunfeng's, and upon receiving the order, his soul fire ignited spontaneously.

In the blink of an eye, the lantern ghost's human skin lantern robe and withered skeleton cage turned to ashes. A brand new lantern ghost image was born from the soul fire. The new lantern robe, the more solid skeleton, and the anthropomorphic humanoid features were also more lifelike.

Its breakthrough is less due to deep accumulation and more due to being pushed forward.

The process was so simple, no more complicated than eating a few soul crystals, that Li was filled with envy.

[Burning Lamp]: Yaksha Level 1 (Tier 3)

Soul assimilation rate: 31%.

……

A huge weight was finally lifted from Li Chunfeng's heart.

With the advancement of the Lamp Burning Technique, even the assimilation rate of the Soul Aperture has been reduced, which is cause for celebration.

Today is truly a day of triple joy; it would be a waste not to share this happy occasion with someone.

Upon entering Yuan City, Lu Yun'er, who used to always hang out at the Sword Debate Arena, happened to be absent from the city today.

It's truly a pity that she wasn't able to witness the heroic figure of a cultivator at the Burning Lamp Realm up close, or personally experience the overwhelming pressure of his divine soul. "This girl, she's so unlucky!"

Li Chunfeng looked around, unsure of who to share the good news with.

My interest waned immediately.

After leaving a message for Lu Yun'er, he returned to Canyon City.

Staying at a small inn, inside his room, Li Chunfeng unleashed the divine soul power of the Burning Lamp Realm. With a thought, the Sumeru Ring flashed with light. Blood-patterned flying needles, blood-transforming flying knives, Netherworld Ghost Claws, and Cicada Flying Swords all flew out.

Two red lights chased after a dark beam of light, with a sword beam leading the way, and the four beams of light darted around the room.

Using the spiritual power of the Burning Lamp Realm to control the spiritual weapon is the perfect time and will allow it to unleash its full potential.

However, Li Chunfeng had not cultivated the 'Sword Control Technique' and was simultaneously controlling so many flying swords, each with different attributes and grades, causing their energies to repel each other, which actually reduced the power of the spirit swords.

The Blood-Transforming Flying Knife is a mid-grade magic weapon, forged in imitation of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Knife. Its blade light is like blood, and it is sinister and extremely poisonous.

It is highly effective against demonic beasts, but it is not very effective in the Ghost Realm, and its effects overlap somewhat with those of the Blood Pattern Flying Needle.

He plans to sell it to recoup some of his losses.

The Blood-Patterned Flying Needle is of extremely high quality and still retains the potential for further improvement.

The Netherworld Claw is also a high-grade magic weapon. It can transform into a ghostly claw to seal off all directions of space and capture enemies. It also inflicts damage with Netherflame, capable of freezing and killing souls. Its unique effects are similar to his style, so Li Chunfeng doesn't intend to use it.

The Cicada Flying Sword possesses its own sword aura, making it indestructible and perfectly suited for his use. While the Spirit Sword is excellent, it is ultimately Hu Yifei's family heirloom, and Li Chunfeng cannot renege on its promise.

Therefore, it's best to upgrade the Blood Pattern Flying Needle now; a Spirit-grade Blood Pattern Flying Needle can be very useful.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he found two powerful figures.

The white cat sleeping on the roof suddenly raised its head, "Meow~"

It then transformed into a beam of white light and darted to his side.

Another white cloud drifted leisurely across the sky, revealing its large, white, plump eyelids. It flew down and circled around Li Chunfeng.

The proprietress, who was resting under the Spirit Fruit tree in the courtyard, opened her eyes, a smile on her lips, and murmured to herself, "She's already at the Burning Lamp Realm, how fast!"

"Cat Brother, Cloud Brother, let's go."

With a shout, the great cultivator from the Burning Lamp Realm abducted the proprietress's demonic pet and strode out with an air of utter indifference, heading straight for the trading market.

Lured by the rewards, the number of novice cultivators in Canyon City has surged recently. The Blood-Transforming Flying Knife, with its formidable destructive power, has become unexpectedly popular. Li Chunfeng sold it for a whopping 260,000 Dao Points, nearly 30% higher than the previous market average.

With these 260,000 Dao merits, plus his efforts during this period, Li Chunfeng's pockets bulged again without him realizing it, and he once again possessed a fortune of more than four million Dao merits.

Turning around, he entered the Sword Forging Pavilion.

This is a shop belonging to the Biyou Palace Imperial Academy faction on Kunyou Island.

The sword-forging skills of the Biyou Palace Academy are unparalleled in the Earthly Realm. They have established sword-forging workshops all over the world, and all the shops are simply called Sword Forging Workshops without any additional names. The storefronts are not large, but customers come in droves.

For customized services, advance booking may be required.

Li Chunfeng spent a full 560,000 Dao power just to upgrade the Blood Pattern Flying Needle.

It's a fixed price, so don't complain about the price.

This is the card.

The 260,000 Dao merits that came in hadn't even been warmed up before they were spent again in the blink of an eye.

No wonder money is hard to earn when income is less than expenditure.

Li Chunfeng considered himself to be earning Daoist cultivation points relatively quickly, but no matter how much he earned, it couldn't keep up with how fast he spent them. The resources he consumed daily during cultivation were things he had never dared to imagine before.

That's all Taoist cultivation, and not a small amount.

Fortunately, I'm still in the Ghost Realm, so I can catch Lantern Ghosts in my spare time. Although the efficiency is not bad, it's still not as fast as acquiring them through missions.

I'll accumulate more Taoist cultivation before continuing to acquire lantern ghosts.

I knew from the beginning that once this path was opened, I could forget about getting rich quick.

Work hard to make money.

"Brother Yun, let's go!"

"Hey~"
