Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 368: Master Arrives
The Underworld Project aims to establish an institution to efficiently deal with the pollution of the River Styx.

This requires professional talent.

Chen Jing felt that the ferryman in front of him met the requirements, even though his cultivation was very low.

The other is the devilish man who was lying next to him and killed his wife to prove his truth. The use of the power of ghosts and gods is a profound knowledge. The use of divine power gave birth to the Shinto system, and the power of ghosts also has great potential.

Now that this evil cultivator has fallen into the hands of Chen, his fate will be to squeeze him dry and then throw him away.

then.

The underworld of only two people was thus established.

Chen Jing's decision was not well thought out. Anyway, he had plenty of room for trial and error. The underworld plan might become one of his many fleeting ideas.

But for the old man Liu Yi, whom he rescued, this was a life-changing event.

The old man is actually very young, only sixty years old, but he has been walking in yin and yang for many years, overdrawing his yang energy and shortening his lifespan, so he looks like a programmer.

Liu Yi didn't dare to look up at Chen Jing. He lowered his head and tried his best to understand what Chen Jing said.

"The resentful spirits of the Styx are spreading everywhere, polluting the spiritual energy and causing monks to go astray. They also often commit murders in the surrounding areas. Whenever the Styx tides, it will also bring about ghost disasters. This harm must be eliminated."

Chen Jing spoke in a dignified tone, imitating the locals' style, and said, "My magical powers are not enough to clean the Styx, so I can only take it step by step. You do this and that, and see the results."

The specific information is naturally communicated through spiritual consciousness, which is convenient and efficient.

Liu Yi prostrated himself on the ground: "Thank you, Immortal, for the magic!"

After hearing a majestic "hmm", Liu Yi stood up after a long time. At this time, he was the only one left on the island, and he sorted out the information in his mind.

First of all, he learned about food and drink on the island, and was told where to chop wood, hunt, and farm.

In addition, there is a series of "spiritual seeds" that surprised Liu Yi. These spiritual seeds can even be planted on his body and transformed into existence like spiritual roots, but with more abilities than spiritual roots.

He seemed to see himself getting this opportunity and breaking through to an unimaginable level.

Many spiritual seeds can be planted at will and you can take what you need.

Liu Yi subconsciously prepared to give himself a set.

"No, the immortal certainly didn't ask me to kill the ghost."

Halfway through his planning, he suddenly realized.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes and adjust your mindset.

His many years of experience in walking between the Yin and Yang had made him accustomed to the illusions and bewitching effects of ghosts, and had also helped him develop a strong self-control.

"The immortal can sow seeds and turn them into soldiers, so he certainly doesn't need my little skill. What the immortal values ​​is my years of experience as a ferryman... The underworld, the resentful souls, maybe the immortal wants to resolve the resentful souls with the method of salvation."

Liu Yi is a miscellaneous cultivator. He knows a little bit of everything. As long as it is effective against the resentful spirits, it can ensure that he comes back alive.

Among these methods, the best is salvation.

Not only can you accumulate merit by liberating the souls of the wicked, but you can also occasionally receive gifts left behind by the souls of the wicked.

But salvation... is the most expensive.

The principle of salvation is to use pure spiritual energy to wash away negative and polluted spiritual energy. Pure spiritual and masculine spiritual energy is not something common. At least in the lower world, it is rare. It doesn't cost much to save a few small ghosts, but to save a big ghost, it is better to directly break up the other party's soul. Who said that physical salvation is not salvation...

At the moment, Liu Yi felt that since the immortal did not want to be liberated physically, then he could just use normal liberation.

This money must have been paid by an immortal, the great Lord of Heaven!
"The resentful souls in the Styx suffered during their lives and after their deaths. They can never be liberated and can only be devoured by other resentful souls or annihilated by great magic power... If we can liberate them one by one, it would be a good thing."

Liu Yi thought of what he saw and heard in the Styx.

With such weak cultivation, walking in the dangerous Styx, his understanding of the ecology of the Styx is extremely profound.

I sincerely hope that there will be some improvement.

"I don't know what to do yet, so I'll record and organize everything I know."

Liu Yi pondered for a moment, and according to the message left in his consciousness, he came to the Taoist temple outside the villa.

The so-called dojo is a laboratory and study room specially used for practice. It has a full set of practice equipment equipped by Chen Jing, including high-grade formations as soft furnishings and a full set of alchemy furnaces, refining furnaces, talisman pens, etc. from the first to fourth grades as hard furnishings.

This set of equipment arrived not long ago and was specially sent by Jiu Niang.

Although Liu Yi only knew some folk methods, the cultivators in the lower world were all generalists who knew a little about everything. When he saw such luxurious equipment, his eyes lit up and his confidence increased.

"I must satisfy the Immortal. If he is satisfied, I will ask him to send my grandson here as well..."

Liu Yi took out the jade tube and began to record the information. He named it "The Ferry Book", which was purely based on his experience and was summarized during this period.

After the summary, the jade tube was presented to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing looked over.

Liu Yi divided ghosts into five categories.

Heavenly ghost: A sacred thing degenerates into a ghost, which is extremely evil and ominous.

In fact, it is the existence of gods like star gods who were born from pure spiritual energy but were polluted and fell into the lower world.

There is almost no possibility of salvation unless it is physical salvation.

Earth ghost: the soul of mountain spirits and river spirits, its appearance is ominous.

Mountains, rivers and streams may occasionally give birth to some spiritual intelligence, but they may also be polluted by negative spiritual energy and fall into the River Styx. Earth ghosts and heavenly ghosts have many similarities. Among folks, heavenly ghosts and earthly ghosts can even be believed in and worshipped. Among these two types of ghosts, there are many evil gods.

Then three categories.

The first is the vengeful spirits of vicious beasts, which encompass all ghosts that have no intelligence but have powerful souls. They are wild monsters in the Styx, and are generally very strong, but easy to deal with.

The second is the resentful souls of humans. Humans do not just refer to human beings, but all intelligent creatures that are born with intelligence.

The last one is the resentful spirit of plants.

Plants becoming ghosts is very strange, most of them will directly turn into new types of plants in the Styx and continue to grow, but will become extremely aggressive.

Chen Jing still remembered that he once encountered a thousand-year-old banyan tree. It faced the sun every day and grew well, but it was chopped down. Chen Jing lost his mind and turned into a fierce ghost. He even tried to return to Shenzhou for revenge.

In this light, it is quite reasonable for Jiuyou, a ghost organization born from the Styx, to exterminate all living beings. It is indeed unpeaceful for each death to occur.

He continued reading The Ferry Book.

Liu Yi didn't give much introduction to the ghosts in heaven and on earth, and only vaguely mentioned the great evil. I guess he had never encountered them face to face, and if he had encountered them, it wouldn't be like today.

He recorded a lot of resentful souls of people, and at the end of the ferry book, he said that he could try his best to give the most appropriate way to liberate each resentful soul.

"Salvation? Relying on human power?"

Chen Jing shook his head secretly.

Hiring a bunch of people to ferry people across the country all day long, even if each of them has excellent business capabilities, the efficiency will not be very high.

but.

Liu Yi did grasp the key to the problem, which was to save him money.

"You can do this for now. I will give you the "Alchemy and Qi Gathering Method" and you should practice it well."

Chen Jing was not in a hurry to reject it. Some detours would not lead to major accidents, so it would be fine to take them.

I just made some arrangements for Liu Yi.

The other end.

Another unlucky guy who arrived here at the same time as Liu Yi was not so lucky. Chen Jing released the resentful souls of his wife that were controlled by the evil cultivator one by one, allowing the evil cultivator to experience the happiness of a harem.

He didn't go to meet the other party until the shrill screams from the other side faded away.

Chen Jing had no intention of asking questions, so he cast a spell of bewitching magic and made the other party confess a series of things.

I got two interesting spells from it.

One is "Supreme Demonic Heart", a method of cultivating the mind, using demonic thoughts to devour human thoughts. After the devouring is complete, the demonic thoughts are sealed. When the human thoughts become stronger, the demonic thoughts are released again to devour human thoughts in order to nourish the demonic thoughts.

Every time the evil thoughts are devoured, they will give birth to stronger and purer human thoughts. If the Tao is one foot high, the evil will be ten feet high. If the Tao is one foot high again, the evil will be ten feet high again.

The art of stepping on both sides.

In the end, it doesn't matter whether the evil heart wins or the human heart wins.

"One must be so crazy to practice this kind of magic." Chen Jing was impressed.

The second one is "The Art of Controlling Ghosts".

It is divided into controlling ghosts and raising ghosts.

His method of raising ghosts is equally insane, requiring the resentful souls to love and hate him deeply.

If we put aside the user's insanity, the method of controlling ghosts actually provides a good idea from a technical point of view.

Chen Jing also understood why he had to kill his wife to prove his truth.

The key to controlling ghosts is to control obsession. By controlling the obsession of the resentful soul, you can achieve the effect of perfect control of the resentful soul. The most important thing is not to be afraid of backlash.

Hate arises from love, and the love and hate of the resentful soul towards the practitioner are bound together. Once the resentful soul is about to kill the host, the loving side will stop the resentful soul.

This is a magical spell that is only effective on those closest to you.

"It won't backfire, that's good." Chen Jing decided to keep this guy locked up and let him have fun among the resentful souls in his harem who hated him to the extreme but would not kill him.

Decided how to deal with the evil cultivators.

He then delved deeply into how this spell dealt with the obsession of resentful spirits.

The resentful spirits do not want to eat or drink, but they are not without desires.

Obsession is the lifeblood of the resentful soul.

"Transcendence..."

……

Two years later.

While Chen Jing was indulging in his retirement and researching hybrid spiritual plants beside the Styx, his senior brother and others finally arrived safely.

The welcoming banquet was held on Happy Island.

The eldest brother Zhao Kongxuan, the second brother Lei Ji and Chen Jing reunited after a long separation. At this time, the three brothers were drinking and chatting happily.

"Although I have lived in the lower world for a long time, I never expected that along the way, there would be wars everywhere and bandits everywhere." Zhao Kongxuan complained about how unsafe the journey was.

The normal journey should have arrived long ago.

As a result, a lot of time was wasted due to the confusion.

Chen Jing said: "The demon shadow will become more and more timid, and the surrounding forces will surround it like hyenas. Under normal circumstances, it would not be so troublesome."

The second brother Lei Ji, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, said straightforwardly: "Are we considered one of the hyenas?"

Zhao Kongxuan held his forehead with his hand: "Of course we don't count!"

"Indeed, they are not." Chen Jing couldn't help but laugh and said, "We were invited by the Demon Shadow Society, so how can we be considered hyenas? Those who came from afar and didn't get any benefits are the hyenas."

Zhao Kongxuan said: "I heard that the Demon Shadow Society is going to have a break."

"Yeah." Chen Jing nodded: "The leader of the Demon Shadow Society should be really dead. Two factions are fighting for the position. One is the son of the Demon Shadow leader, and the other is the leader of the Taoist Academy. The former has the blood of the leader, and the latter is the leader's direct disciple."

He told him the details he had.

The Demon Shadow Lord probably died rather hastily, and there was no proper arrangement as to who would be the next leader.

Logically speaking, the son takes over the father's place and bloodline inheritance is the basic rule for the transfer of power among the demon clan.

But the Yaoying Society is different. The purpose of the Yaoying Society is to abandon bloodline and embrace the immortal way.

This caused the succession of the Lord's offspring to be shaken.

Because the Lord's offspring are not the strongest in immortal cultivation, if they really want to succeed to the throne, they can only use blood relationship as the legal basis.

The leaders of the Taoist temple opposed it.

Their reason was that using blood inheritance as a basis went against the core concept of the Yaoying Society of 'discarding blood'.

The faction supporting the Lord's descendants said that these are two different things. The Lord has been walking on thin ice all his life, and he has built up such a huge foundation with great difficulty, and has supported the Demon Shadow Society for tens of thousands of years. This is the industry of the Demon Shadow Society's entire family. Now you are looking for an excuse to prevent your own son from taking the position, which is just like bullying the fact that his father is dead and trying to seize his property.

The Taoist school continued to refute, "Today you can use bloodline as an excuse to succeed to the throne as the head of the guild. If I hold a high position, can my son also inherit my position? My relatives who have the same bloodline as me, should they also seek an official position?"
This trend must not be allowed to develop and this precedent must not be set, otherwise, we dare not even imagine what the evil shadow will look like in the future!

Both sides have a point.

One side holds the emotional and legal arguments, while the other side holds the legal arguments, and the situation is at a stalemate.

"Should we take sides?" asked the second brother.

"Of course." Chen Jing filled the two people's empty glasses and said, "The one who is doing business with us is the Taoist temple. We should naturally stand on their side. Otherwise, our transaction will be illegal. But it doesn't necessarily mean that the Lord's heir offers a higher price."

Zhao Kongxuan said: "Now both sides should be trying to find external aid. If they fail to reach an agreement, there will be chaos."

Chen Jing nodded affirmatively: "Fortunately, the Burning Ancient Domain is relatively remote. If chaos breaks out, we will have time to react."

He is also an outsider and has no grasp of the specific situation, so he just takes it one step at a time.

The three of them chatted about their recent situation and other things, then practiced Taoism, exchanged their cultivation experiences, and also took time to visit the Styx and the nearby Chaos Continent to see the local customs and practices.

I played for three months before I started working officially.

——The latest news came from Jiu Niang.

It's time to prepare for the consecration.

They control the twenty-four realms of the Ancient Burning Fire Domain and need to obtain a nominal title from the Demon Shadow Society and gain legal recognition.

So you need to get a seal.

But not before that.

We need to resolve the issue of interest distribution in the ancient domain of Ranhuo.

There are many forces involved in the competition.

The demon shadow will itself.

The Qingnang Sect supported by Mo Yige.

The surrounding forces, big and small, include the Sword Soul Mansion, Wing Fire Pavilion, and the Dark Alliance.

There are also four small batches packed from my hometown.

With so many forces, this area is definitely not enough to divide.

Chen Jing directly transformed himself into a middleman and gave them all a place, but he had to handle it all.

Among them, the four small tribes should be divided more. They are fellow villagers and natural geopolitical allies. If their allies are strong, they themselves will be strong.

The Dark Alliance will get less points. This guy is already strong and not familiar with us. If he gets more, who will be the king?

Secondly, use coercion and inducement to win them over as much as possible, but don't be too generous, otherwise the four small sects from my hometown will be dissatisfied. I need to strike a good balance.

As for the Victims Demon Shadow Society, it is another model, depending on how much support the Taoist temple gives.

If you give me a lot, it's not that I can't be a loyal subject. Boss, I'll fight whomever you tell me to fight. If you give me a little, I won't get involved.

The biggest competitor at the moment is the Dark Alliance.

The Dark Alliance is powerful and will definitely compete for the position of leader.

It’s inevitable that you have to do it once.

The second is to demonstrate strength to the Taoist Academy and try to make yourself more valuable in the Taoist Academy.
