Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 83: Customized Ghost Servant. (First update!)

After a moment, Zheng Que returned to reality.

The room was dim, and it was pitch black outside the window covered with mulberry paper. It was still dark, and Ku Lan was sitting beside the table with a dignified posture, guarding the Dharma seriously.

Zheng Que stood up immediately. He was still wearing the black robe, and had not taken off his mask or hat.

After stretching his muscles a little, he looked down at his clenched hands.

Now the quality of this butcher's "evil spirit" should be fine.

After entering the underworld once, the strength of this "evil spirit" will basically no longer be suppressed by the [Ghost Controlling Technique].

He has not tested the ghost skills and Yin arts yet, but based on his current understanding of the underworld, this "evil spirit" must have inherited the ghost skills and Yin arts of the previous two "vengeful spirits".

Now, this butcher's "evil spirit" should have one species talent, two ghost skills and one Yin technique.

Compared with ordinary ghosts, their strength is definitely much greater.

Of course, compared with his Qingli and Kulan, his strength is definitely far inferior.

Even compared to Nian Nu who is at the fifth level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison], he is probably no match for him.

After all, there is a huge gap in strength between those who have received an imperial title and those who have not!
Although he has not yet improved Nian Nu's strength, Nian Nu has been granted a title, and his Yin energy is far more condensed than that of ordinary ghosts. He also possesses the three abilities of a Yin messenger, and has a natural advantage when facing other ghosts in the [Tongue-Pulling Prison]!
While thinking, Zheng Que had no intention of releasing the butcher's "evil spirit" from his palm.

This is the ghost servant that he wants to sell for spirit stones. He doesn't intend to let this "evil spirit" see his true appearance and breath.

In addition, although he can now use the [Breath-Concealing Talisman] to hide his breath, Qiu Tingfang in the Merit Bureau has a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi training, and it is unknown whether the [Breath-Concealing Talisman] can work on him?

Therefore, Zheng Que planned to use a magic technique to further change his aura.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Ku Lan and said, "Kulan, I'm going to perform a spell, please cooperate with me."

Ku Lan immediately responded, "Yes, sir."

Zheng Que nodded slightly, then without hesitation, he immediately cast a series of spells.

As the last spell was made, Ku Lan immediately floated into the air, drifted towards his arm, and then turned into a streak of blood light and sank into it.

Zheng Que's exposed skin was suddenly covered with black and red lines. These lines were fine and complex, like the roots of plants that had accumulated over the years, wrapped around his body and converging towards the side of his neck, revealing a pale, delicate, beautiful and quiet head. His hair was piled high, and the ends were tied with a crimson ribbon, with long tassels of hair hanging down like blood. It was none other than the withered orchid.

The head of the [Umbrella Girl] pushed open Zheng Que's clothes, and was placed side by side with his own head on his body, which looked extremely strange.

At the same time, Zheng Que's aura also changed dramatically. It became cold and evil, and his body was filled with enormous power. In addition to the faint light of spiritual power all over his body, he was also covered with a layer of gloomy energy like a veil.

This is [Spiritual Descent Technique]!
It was the first time that Ku Lan saw Zheng Que perform this magic. The head with cloud-like hair and jade-like face immediately turned back and forth on his neck.

Zheng Que closed his eyes and carefully felt his current situation.

Unlike the previous time when Qingli possessed him, Ku Lan had many more ghost skills and Yin techniques, and the strength of each ghost skill and Yin technique was extremely high.

In addition, he could feel that his current strength had improved greatly, but due to the characteristics of the [Spiritual Descent Technique], his spiritual power and the Yin energy of Ku Lan were fused together. In the vision of the [Spiritual Vision Technique], it looked like a chaos, and it was impossible to see his current specific cultivation level.

Zheng Que nodded with great satisfaction. His aura now had become completely different from his normal state. Without looking at his appearance, it was basically impossible to identify his identity only by his aura.

As for his current appearance...

Thinking of this, he immediately walked to the bronze mirror. Then, with a thought, he immediately turned his head back 180 degrees. The polished bronze mirror clearly reflected his current appearance: from his original front face, it turned into a grotesque back view.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que turned around, but the bronze mirror still showed his back.

It seems that no matter which direction you look from, you can't see his face!

This is Ku Lan's magic skill, [Symmetry]!
This ghost skill can be used on enemies or on yourself.

Zheng Que stood in front of the bronze mirror for a moment and could hardly recognize himself.

In this situation, even if he doesn’t wear a hat and a mask, his identity cannot be exposed!
After confirming that the disguise was correct, he used Ku Lan's Yin position to sense the butcher's "evil spirit" in his palm. All the methods it mastered immediately appeared in his mind...

Species talent: [Slaughter].

Ghost skills: [Frenzy], [Sound Terror].

Yin technique: [Blood Killing].

Zheng Que nodded slightly. Everything was ready and he could go to the Merit Office.

So, he took out a [Breath-Suppressing Talisman] and stuck it inside his clothes. Then he quickly set up the small mechanism, walked to the window, opened it a crack, and looked out.

At this moment, the night is gloomy and the streets outside the window are empty, without a single person in sight. The doors and windows of the houses near and far are also closed, and there is silence.

After looking around and making sure that no one was paying attention to him, Zheng Que quietly climbed out of the window and landed in a dim alley.

Immediately afterwards, his mind moved, and a black silk umbrella appeared in his hand.

He held up his umbrella and walked quickly towards the Merit Bureau.

Step, step, step...

The sound of footsteps echoed down the long street.

Taiping County is different from Changfu Town. Even at night, there are no ghosts in the city.

In addition, the offering square in the city is different from the settlements of mortals. It is open all twelve hours to make it convenient for monks to enter and exit at any time.

Not long after, Zheng Que walked into the familiar archway.

Unlike the dim streets and alleys we just passed, here there are palace lanterns lit everywhere, giving it a brightly lit feel.

Although the number of people in the market was not as large as during the day, some stalls and shops were still open, and a few monks were wandering around, either strolling or exploring.

Seeing a figure holding an umbrella walking by, these monks subconsciously looked towards Zheng Que.

In the eyes of these monks, the visitor was dressed in a black robe, which covered his figure, gender, and characteristics tightly. His aura was restrained, without any leakage. Above the neck, the umbrella covered everything.

And the weird thing is that no matter which direction you look from, you can only see the other person's back!
After a quick glance, all the monks around turned their eyes away tactfully.

They are all just ordinary casual cultivators. No one wants to provoke such strange-looking characters.
