Chapter 73: Meager Harvest 

Chapter 73: Meager Harvest 

Yin Soul Vicious Ghosts and similar creatures are inherently not easy to deal with. If his placed Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique was at Perfection, maybe he could still put up a fight.

Unfortunately, it was still far from Perfection.

Without learning targeted methods of restraint, and with a Soul transformed into a ghost from Foundation Establishment Stage, Third Layer, its Cultivation Realm had dropped a level, but it was still within the Foundation Establishment range.

In an instant, Wang Yu had already analyzed the situation in his mind.

"Cannot act rashly. If I can lure it back to Profound Bone Mountain, Situ Hong might have a method to deal with it."

Although Yin Soul Vicious Ghosts are powerful, they also have weaknesses. The Five Yin Peak's Inheritance is very restraining against these types of creatures.

And so, Wang Yu turned around and ran.

Steward Xu, who had transformed into a Vicious Ghost, also floated and chased after him, his whole body billowing with black smoke. Under the direct sunlight, his speed was much slower.

Ghosts are unintelligent and only follow their instincts.

The sunlight showered by the Great Sun is one of the most Yang Powers in the world, extremely restraining against these Yin Soul Evil Entities.

First Rank Netherworld Souls have difficulty appearing during the day.

During the process of luring it, Wang Yu's eyes transformed into Grand Yin Nether Pupils. Two crescent moon marks appeared in his pupils as he entered "Moon Gazing" state.

Suddenly looking back, he discovered that the Vicious Ghost had not just one Yin Aura, but two.

The second one was undoubtedly Liu Jinxian's, but that Yin Aura, with an appearance as peculiar as a mosquito, was rampaging wildly inside the Vicious Ghost's body.

And it was being digested at a speed visible to the naked eye, about to be extinguished.

"Damn!"

Liu Jinxian cannot die. Of the five hundred plus people in this Profound Bone Mountain mission, only the four of them were left. If she died, her father, True Person Green Snake, would definitely hold them accountable.

He, Situ Hong, and Gu Zhengshun would all be in big trouble!

If she is alive, she will also attract a lot of Reverse Spirit Blood Sect disciples' gaze, who asked her to have a strong backing?

While thinking, Wang Yu used his fingernails to scratch a blood mark on his wrist. Gently squeezing, reddish-black in color, viscous blood that looked a bit stale oozed out a little.

This was a product of the Corpse Demon Secret Art's modification.

———Celestial Yin Blood!

It could make Wang Yu's physical body possess Netherworld Soul characteristics. Corresponding to this was the Undead Demon Bone, which could make his physical body possess Zombie characteristics.

This Secret Art's grade was extremely high. If there was any method on him to deal with Foundation Establishment Vicious Ghosts, it was only this blood, and the Yin Blood Pill that was constantly being nurtured within his body!

Temporarily slowing down the problem of curbing Death Qi should not be a big problem.

After all, he could only condense one Yin Blood Pill in his body, and it had always been used to suppress Death Qi. Fortunately, there was a Placement Slot to help him continuously condense it, otherwise it was hard to say what the consequences would be.

He slowed down his pace a bit.

At the moment when both sides rushed into the forest, Wang Yu suddenly turned his head back and flicked a drop of fresh blood from his fingertip. The rich Yin Spirit Qi on it immediately attracted the Vicious Ghost.

Wang Yu's toes stepped on a tree trunk, borrowing strength for a backflip, unexpectedly rushing back. He gently patted his chest with his right hand, and through the skin and flesh, a Yin Blood Pill transformed into airflow and surged into his mind.

His eyes turned blood-red, and two tiger teeth on his upper jaw rapidly elongated.

The characteristics of the Undead Demon Bone were pushed to the extreme by him, and zombies, in addition to their powerful physical bodies, also have the skill to devour Resentful Qi and can feed on Netherworld Souls.

Under the stimulation of the Secret Art, Wang Yu's mind surfaced with a little more Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique insight. He bit down on the Vicious Ghost in one bite and fiercely sucked.

It was like sucking a mouthful of jelly, or like a range hood, swallowing the Black Mist emitted by the Vicious Ghost and part of its Soul Body into his body.

Three inches below his navel, the Evil Armor Art Seed began to sprout.

Black Fiend Armor Markings spread across his entire body at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, a set of black, ferocious armor appeared on Wang Yu's body surface. This was Mystical Art!

Comprehending it allowed for rapid mastery, and its power was also great. He only needed to bear the future side effects to rapidly form combat power.

One bite was not enough. After being wrapped in Black Fiend Armor, Wang Yu could reach out and touch the Vicious Ghost. When the other party swallowed the Celestial Yin Blood, he sucked again fiercely.

Now, the Vicious Ghost transformed from Steward Xu's Soul was already a bit faint and indistinct. Its Cultivation Realm also dropped from Initial Foundation Establishment Stage to Qi Condensation Stage.

Wang Yu kicked straight out, kicking it flying out of the forest to directly face the Great Sun's exposure. Without the protection of Black Mist, its Cultivation Realm dropped again, and its Soul Body was evaporating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than three breaths, Liu Jinxian fell out from within its body.

Apart from a pale face, her life aura was still considered stable. It was just that the Blood Mosquito Gu standing on her forehead was listless, with a kind of feeling of being half-dead.

After waiting for a few more breaths, the Vicious Ghost was completely obliterated by the sunlight.

Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He hadn't expected this thing to be so easy to deal with. In fact, all his power was very targeted at ghosts, he just never imagined it.

After all, no one uses fists to beat Yin Soul Vicious Ghosts…

"Made a fiasco."

He glanced at Liu Jinxian lying neatly and didn't bother to care. Instead, he rapidly returned to the First Battlefield, re-found Steward Xu's Corpse, and put the Storage Bag into his pocket.

He also put the Corpse into a specially marked Storage Bag, only then breathing a sigh of relief.

Having gains was not a loss.

Moreover.

[Placement Slot 4: Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique]

[Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique (61/100): Thirty-six practices a day, two years to Perfection.]

Just sucking two bites of a Foundation Establishment Vicious Ghost unexpectedly saved him three years of time. In two years he would be able to directly reach Perfection, just in time for the end of the Profound Bone Mountain mission.

"Is this Mystical Art… indeed magical."

It's just that this time it saved time, but in the future, he would need to face the risk of Netherworld Soul Backlash, also not knowing if it was a loss or a gain.

He lifted his robe and found a Ghost Skull Pattern the size of a fingernail appeared below his navel. He could still feel deep malice when looking at it.

"Loss!"

Wang Yu returned with a frown, carried Liu Jinxian on his shoulder, and returned to Profound Bone Mountain.

Since Steward Xu's threat was resolved, he also didn't need to go to Maple Province Capital to avoid calamity. It was better to go back. When returning to the Sect, he could also investigate Demonic Secret Arts to improve Aptitude.

He looked at the high-grade Storage Bag wrapped around Liu Jinxian's waist, and he was a bit tempted. After careful consideration, he did not choose to touch it.

But Steward Xu's Storage Bag gave Wang Yu a sweet dream. There was nothing valuable inside, a few Second Rank Low Grade Magic Artifacts, destroyed ones destroyed, damaged ones damaged, severely devalued.

Spirit Stones were even only five, which was shocking.

The space of this high-grade Storage Bag was roughly the capacity of a basketball court, and many bottles and jars inside were empty.

The only thing that made him happy was the Pill Formulas.

It almost covered all First Rank categories that Reverse Spirit Blood Sect could exchange for, and also three Second Rank Pill Formulas. Alchemists do not necessarily need to be proficient in all Pill Formulas, but looking at more, they can also understand by analogy, and even create their own Pill Formulas.

Coincidentally, he also found a Mysterious Silk Book recorded with Blood Rune Script inside, exactly the same as Xu Jiao Jiao's one. He roughly observed it and then used the Placement Slot's feedback to obtain the information within.

This was also a Demonic Path Mystical Technique, called Ghost Transformation Curse, originally a Mystical Art used on others, used to mass-create Netherworld Soul Evil Spirits. Unexpectedly, he used it on himself, to gamble on mutually assured destruction.

Truly tragic.
