Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 78: Nian Nu. (Second update!)

Looking at this scene, Qingli finally became interested.

If it was just an ordinary "vengeful spirit" of the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], facing such a pincer attack, and many of the methods used by cultivators and ghosts of the same realm, there would be no possibility of fighting back.

But, that was just an ordinary "ghost"!
Just as the big-bellied ghost servant was about to rush to Qingli, Qingli's red eyes instantly looked at it.

The token on her waist glowed faintly, and the rune "服" (service) appeared in her crimson eyes.

Without any warning, this big-bellied ghost servant collapsed rapidly like a deflated ball. In the blink of an eye, it strangely returned to its original shape and simply charged forward, as if it had lost the ability to self-destruct.

boom!
Qingli threw a punch and instantly blew the ghost servant's head apart.

At this time, the butcher's "evil spirit" just rushed in front of Qingli, with murderous energy surging around his body. He raised the butcher knife in his hand and chopped it down fiercely at Qingli's neck.

Qingli arrived first and punched the butcher's "evil spirit" in the chest again.

boom! ! !
The butcher's "evil spirit" flew backwards in an instant like a kite with a broken string.

Jia Bin's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly chanted a series of spells, wanting to perform some magic. However, at this moment, a hemp rope silently wrapped around his neck, like a fishing line, tightening instantly and hanging him in the air.

"elder brother!"

Jia Miaoniang was very anxious and immediately grabbed a handful of colorful talismans, but before she could use them, she heard Jia Bin's voice: "Don't worry about me, run away!"

Jia Miaoniang's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No..."

Before she could finish her words, she immediately realized that something was wrong. She felt as if she had suddenly lost something!
At this moment, Jia Miaoniang, who had her hair in a bun, suddenly turned around and looked at her straight.

A newer hemp rope suddenly appeared, circled Jia Miaoniang's neck, tightened in an instant, and hung her up.

Jia Miaoniang was horrified. Her ghost servant had turned into the female prisoner in the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]!

"Duh!"

At this time, Jia Bin's magic was finally completed. He pointed at Qingli, and three blood-red heads flew out of the soul-nourishing bag. The skin of these three heads was completely peeled off, and their original appearance could not be seen at all. Only the exposed flesh and bones could be seen, emitting strong resentment and evil spirit. They floated in the air, crisscrossing like lightning, and rushed towards Qingli.

Looking at the three bloody skulls, Qingli's expression became serious for a rare time. She used two arms to suppress the ghost servants of the Jia brothers and sisters, and the other two arms suddenly slapped out, hitting the three bloody skulls heavily.

Ping Pong Pong...

After a fierce battle, Qingli stood there unharmed, and the butcher's "evil spirit" was hung in the air again by her.

Three bloody skulls filled with evil spirits were hammered to the ground. Blood mixed with corpse water flowed everywhere, corroding the originally lush grass into potholes.

Of the four ghost servants of the Jia brothers and sisters, three had already been reduced to ashes. The remaining one, a girl with a bun on her head, stood beside Qingli with her hands hanging down, with a respectful attitude, as if she had become her ghost servant.

There were large stains of blood on the ground, and the air was filled with the scent of broken grass and trees mixed with a sweet and fishy smell, but the Jia brothers and sisters had disappeared.

"They can really escape!" Qingli snorted in dissatisfaction. The two human children had many treasures on them, otherwise she would not have failed just now!
Thinking of this, she looked at her fellow people beside her.

As a ghost destined by heaven, he really needs a few ghost servants to serve him.

So she raised her finger and pointed at her eyebrows. As the Yin energy in her body circulated, a complex and ancient pattern began to appear between her eyebrows.

This is an imperial decree! The human child had bestowed upon her a second imperial decree last time. Although this had caused her to be unconscious for a while, this extra imperial decree became hers.

Moreover, this decree also conveyed a lot of information to her, allowing her to understand its usage.

The next moment, Qingli pointed at the girl with a bun next to him.

The imperial edict turned into a faint light and imprinted itself on the center of the eyebrows of the girl with the Huixinji bun.

The woman with the Huixinji bun froze in an instant, her eyes became dull, and a pattern of an imperial decree that looked like an insect or a bird appeared between her eyebrows. The Yin energy in her body rose and fell rapidly like the tide. Every rise and fall seemed to be undergoing a purification and tempering. In the blink of an eye, the Yin energy around her body changed drastically, and looked extremely condensed and pure.

The originally tattered skirt was quickly repaired and straightened, turning into a light pink cross-collared short jacket and a goose yellow and emerald green skirt. The messy back bun became thick and neat, the faded hairband became gorgeous again, the colorful silk ribbons were tied with ice flower knots, and the long tassels hung on the shoulders. A "Yi" token with a pink palace ribbon appeared at the waist, gently pressing down the hem of the skirt.

The originally ferocious and purple face of the woman hanging gradually calmed down, revealing a pretty face with thin eyebrows and long eyes, pale skin, and a pair of small gourd-shaped silver earrings on her ears. There were deep marks on her neck, and she looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

After a moment, the girl with the bun on her head turned her head. The pattern between her eyebrows faded, and her eyes, which had been blank and vacant, gradually became bright. When she saw Qingli, she immediately spoke cautiously, "Sir?"

Hearing this, Qingli nodded arrogantly. Now my aunt also has a ghost servant!
※※※

Zheng Que opened his eyes and found himself in the underworld again.

The dilapidated palace remains the same as before.

Black energy surged from his brows and poured into the [Book of Life and Death].

After looking around, Zheng Que withdrew his gaze and sat on the lame armchair, quietly waiting for the [Book of Life and Death] to absorb all the negative energy in his body.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, he saw a few more names on the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him.

"...Bu Zhongyao. Birthplace: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty... Life span: 21 years, 5 months, and 2 days. Died of illness at 1:15 pm, Youshi."

"...Yin Genfu. Birthplace: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty... Life span: 31 years, 11 months, 26 days. Died from falling from a height at 2:15 PM."

"...Xu Dabao. Birthplace: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty... Life span: 27 years, 1 month, 18 days. Died at the hour of Xu, when he was bloated."

Zheng Que looked at the three newly added names and nodded slightly. He had only asked Qingli to catch ghosts. These newly appeared names must have been killed by Qingli in order to improve his cultivation...

Just as he was thinking this, another name appeared on the [Book of Life and Death].

"Type: Wraith."

"Species: Female."

"Real name: Niannu."

"Native Place: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty."

"Lifespan in the Yin Hour: Sixty-four years, ten months, and four days."

"Yin Duty: Yin Messenger (dispatched)."

"Term of office: half a decade."
