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

Chapter 87 (Eighty-Six Chapters): Earth-Rank Reappears (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Flower buds suddenly bloomed in a forest, revealing several rather disheveled figures.

Li Chunfeng looked into the distance and saw the city walls of Canyon City not far away.

The flower buds at my feet have fulfilled their purpose and withered in the grandeur.

That's an amazing ability to teleport.

Chi Xuancai can remain completely passive throughout the mission without contributing anything, but this single ability is enough to ensure she can safely share in the credit. Who wouldn't value the ability to save their life?

"Phew, I'm back."

Su Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If he had been a moment later, the six-armed Rakshasa's attack would have landed on his head. "This trip was very close. Thanks to Brother Cat for saving us at the last minute, we managed to complete the mission. I need to report to the higher-ups immediately. You can all rest assured and wait for the mission rewards to be issued."

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Su." Xu Changliu cupped his hands in greeting.

"Okay, I'm off." Su Bai immediately used his escape technique and flew towards Canyon City.

Everyone knew why he was anxious and didn't mind.

Feng Yang clashed his twin swords together. "We met by chance, and have been through life and death together, so we can be considered acquaintances. I happen to have a few jars of fine aged wine with me. How about we have a drink together?"

Xu Changliu smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Feng. A martial artist's wine must be truly good. I'll have to savor it properly later."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Feng Yang then looked at Li Chunfeng and Chi Xuancai.

The two of them cupped their hands in a gesture of respect, naturally agreeing.

Xu Changliu was right; Fengyang's wine was indeed excellent. Li Chunfeng didn't understand wine, but after a sip of the spirit wine, his blood and energy surged, surpassing even Song Zhijie's spirit wine.

Halfway through the drinking session, Su Bai finished handing in his task and joined in.

The five of them drank from dawn till dusk before finally stopping.

Even the Nine-Lives Cat Demon was drunk and passed out, its pink tongue lolling out as it slumped on the table, its eyes darting around. The White Cloud Demon's pure white clouds were also tinged with pink; it too had drunk too much.

After a drinking session, everyone was already acting like brothers and had become much closer to each other.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to relax, Li Chunfeng was quite engrossed in it. When he left, he was still relatively sober, and he drank and took several jars of Fengyang liquor with him.

In fact, it was because he talked too much during the banquet that Feng Yang realized he still owed a girl a drink. That's why Feng Yang took the initiative to give him several jars of spirit wine.

The Celestial Court reacted swiftly the following day.

On that very day, numerous Nascent Soul warships arrived in Canyon City from various locations. The authorities issued a notice, recruiting a large number of high-level cultivators and martial artists from the city to accompany the warships on their expedition.

The proprietress, An Ruoxi, was also among those recruited.

In the Earthly Realm, everyone is a soldier; no one, regardless of who they are, can refuse the Celestial Court's summons.

Li Chunfeng was not among those conscripted this time. In fact, he wanted to go, but without the Nine-Lives Cat Demon's escort and the White Cloud Demon Spirit's mobility, he wouldn't gain much benefit in the underworld, and might not even return alive.

...That's it.

The small guesthouse is located in a small courtyard.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days, Sister An."

The elegant and intellectual older sister's voice was as pleasant as ever, "I didn't help you with anything; it was all your own effort. The abyssal energy on your body has dissipated, but have you successfully overcome the three tribulations?"

"I have successfully survived the three tribulations and once again achieved the God-like rating."

“Very good! Your talent is impressive, but I have seen too many exceptionally talented geniuses who eventually become mediocre. There are no easy paths on the road of cultivation. You have had a good start, but you still need to persevere and move forward without becoming complacent.”

This is a warning from an elder to a younger person.

Li Chunfeng nodded solemnly, "Yes, I remember. Sister An, what zodiac animal is Cat Brother's spirit?"

An Ruoxi glanced at him. "The Nine-Lives Cat Demon is a special demon spirit belonging to the Chaos and Darkness categories. Your element also leans towards darkness, which is why it is close to you."

"I see."

After a moment's thought, Li Chunfeng handed her the soul core of the Bloodwing Queen's pet snake. "This fourth-tier soul core is what I obtained in the last Abyss Tribulation World. It contains two powerful spell seeds, one is the Silence Dark Domain and the other is Death Wither. Both are Chaos-type spells with extremely powerful effects."

The 'Mind's Eye' failed to detect much specific information from the Nine-Lives Cat Demon.

He was also inspired by the Nine-Lives Cat Demon's "Cero Flash Cannon" against the Six-Armed Rakshasa, and discovered that the Nine-Lives Cat Demon's element was actually more chaotic. That's when he decided to give the Soul Core to the landlady.

After all, the help the two demon spirits had given him during this period was clearly visible.

He's not used to owing favors.

An Ruoxi was somewhat surprised, "A fourth-tier soul core... You can already fight against fourth-tier opponents? That's amazing! Are you going to give me this fourth-tier soul core?"

"Yes, I hope it will be helpful to Sister An."

"Aim~"

The white cat came closer, sniffed the soul core, and then licked it a few times with its pink tongue, seemingly quite fond of it.

An Ruoxi smiled and said, "It is indeed very useful, then I will accept it. You call me 'sister,' but I would accept such a generous gift from you for nothing. I don't have that kind of shamelessness. Or, I'll give you a gift in return..."

"No need... If it's convenient for you, Sister An, please bring back a few flying yaksha corpses for me while you're in the underground world."

"This is simple."

The two chatted for a while longer, and Li Chunfeng also brought up his plan to return to the Earthly Realm soon.

There's no need to participate in the war, and Li Chunfeng has been away for more than half a year; it's indeed time for him to go back.

I also took the opportunity to say goodbye to the Nine-Lives Cat Demon and the White Cloud Demon.

An Ruoxi could only wish him a safe journey.

She set off with the team in the early hours of the next day.

Li Chunfeng, along with many others in the city, witnessed firsthand the ascent of hundreds of Yuan Shen warships, which plunged into the depths of the canyon. Remembering Lu Yun'er's instructions, he used a recording bead to capture the scene, adding more material to her online celebrity career.

The Ghost Realm City had been planning this battle for a long time, deploying its elite forces to ensure that no other outcome would occur. The underground world possesses abundant mineral resources, such as ten-thousand-year-old cold iron, nine-yang black iron, copper mother, yin ink crystal, mithril, refined gold, azure stone, and even star iron sand and void stone—rare treasures even in the Earthly Realm, yet plentiful in the Ghost Realm's underground world.

Many of these are essential materials for crafting flying swords, magical artifacts, and divine weapons, and there are also quite a few spiritual herbs. The demons and monsters of the underground world are incredibly diverse, and some of their body parts are also the best materials for refining elixirs.

If the tentacles can really penetrate deeper, it would be a good thing for everyone.

Li Chunfeng was still thinking about upgrading the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe. He had already found out that the main material needed to upgrade the axe, Star Iron Crystal, came from deep within the Star Iron Sand Mine. Once he discovered the Star Iron Sand Mine, he could also purchase the Star Iron Crystal.

This is the simplest way to obtain Star Iron Crystal.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to risk venturing deep underground himself to search for Star Iron Crystals.

immediately.

Li Chunfeng entered Yuancheng and encountered Lu Yun'er.

The girl is very competitive. Knowing he achieved another godlike rating with his three tribulations, she's a little jealous and is working hard. She vows to catch up with Li Chunfeng and achieve three godlike tribulations in a row.

Li Chunfeng, however, did not think highly of her. He gave her the image-remembering pearl, hoping that after seeing his three tribulations, she would give up in the face of difficulties.

I casually gave her a 'Battle Spirit Martial Arts' soul core.

"what is this?"

"This is a good thing. After refining it, you should practice a lot. The higher you improve, the more it will help improve your strength."

"Oh."

Lu Yun'er blinked, then casually refined it without even looking at it. After receiving the 'Battle Soul Martial Arts' technique inheritance from the soul core, she couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, "There's actually a soul core like this? If a martial artist discovered it, they'd probably go crazy. Is there any other trick to it?"

"When the runes are perfected, the probability of improving them by using both spell advancement stones and talent advancement stones will be higher."

Having obtained the manual, Lu Yun'er couldn't wait to start practicing. "I'm going to practice right now."

He abandoned Li Chunfeng and then disappeared in a flurry.

Li Chunfeng shook his head, went to the trading center and looked around. The Xuan-rank 'Whirlwind Slash' soul cores listed for auction were already priced at tens of thousands.

This price is already considered very high among Xuan-rank magic seeds, but it did not attract Li Chunfeng.

Clearly, the idea of ​​getting rich with a few Xuan-rank soul cores is nothing short of wishful thinking.

He had no choice but to go back to the old ways.

Back in the stone house, the soul fusion process began.

Li Chunfeng has accumulated tens of thousands of Nightmare Knight Soul Crystals, hoping to fuse them into one of good quality.

In fact, the most valuable thing he possesses is none other than the inheritance of his soul bone.

The minimum requirement for obtaining that set of Heavenly Rank Soul Technique inheritance seeds is the third rank: Divine Embryo Realm or Silver Skull.

With the upgrade of his supernatural powers, Li Chunfeng was able to contract third-tier undead servants. Theoretically, he had already met the conditions for his undead servants to receive the inheritance of Heaven-tier soul techniques.

Therefore, he didn't value the Nightmare Knight Soul Crystal too much; he needed to make money more.

The Nightmare Knight Soul Crystal contains talents and spells that are at least at the Spirit rank.

In theory, only 19683 low-grade spirit-level soul crystals are needed to synthesize one earth-level soul crystal.

Li Chunfeng naturally didn't have that many soul crystals, but the proportion of high-grade and mid-grade soul crystals in his collection was quite large, so he didn't need nearly 20,000.

"Then let's begin!"

The process of soul fusion was tedious and boring, but Li Chunfeng had already gotten used to it.

When he stepped out of the stone house again the next day, the second-tier Nightmare Knight Soul Crystal in his hand had almost completely disappeared.

Obtained a low-grade Earth-rank Nightmare Knight Soul Crystal.

He planned to auction this soul crystal again in Abyss City, thinking the Ghost Clan would be very interested. He knew there were quite a few wealthy Ghosts among them, and he hoped the Ghost Clan's prodigies would put in a good effort this time.

Back at the trading center, let's check the current exchange rate of Heavenly Path Coins.

92 Daogong = 1 piece.

Tiandao coins are highly value-preserving, with prices steadily increasing.

Li Chunfeng had already accumulated over six million in Daoist cultivation in reality. As long as his strength increased, his earning speed would be quite good. So he transferred it all into Yuan City and exchanged it for Heavenly Dao Coins.

With the addition of the Heavenly Dao Coins in his possession, the number of Heavenly Dao Coins he owns has climbed back up to 10.

So, it was put on the shelves.

The starting price is 10 Heavenly Dao Coins; the auction is now open.

Another Earth-rank Soul Crystal has been put on the market, but not many people have noticed this.

Li Chunfeng remembered that he had a friend from the Ghost Clan, so he sent a telepathic message to 'Chimei Wangliang' to inform him.

It would be wonderful if this wealthy ghost clan member could join the bidding.

"Thanks for letting me know."

After a while, he received a divine response.

Li Chunfeng's lips curled up. "You're welcome. If you have any Ghostly Shadow Escape Crystals, remember to save them for me."

"receive."

Before long, Li Chunfeng saw the first bidder.

They raised the price to 15 and finally left Yuancheng satisfied.
