"ax?"

The little ghost was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but he immediately became excited and sat up straight: "Hey, you've asked the right person. I tell you, I saw it with my own eyes that day."

"With your own eyes?"

Jianchou was worried.

Perhaps he finally had a chance to brag to others, the little ghost was beaming with joy as he said, "Just two days ago, we were outside the Ghost Gate with Lao Zhang to receive a new ghost. We were asking Lao Zhang how to pronounce that word when a huge axe flew down from the sky! It was really huge, my goodness, it was a full ten feet long! It looked spooky and black all over, but when it hit the Ghost Gate, it turned completely red!"

The little-headed ghost still feels a lingering fear when he thinks of that scene.

The red casting pattern, the ferocious evil spirit, the heavy axe body, and the broken dents...

The gates of hell were almost shattered!

The little-headed ghost boasted very convincingly, saying how many people were scared and how Lao Zhang's head was almost cut off.

However, when Jianchou heard him describe the appearance of the axe, she was sure that it was her magic axe!

There was really a storm in my heart.

Jianchou forced himself to suppress it and listened carefully.

"… Anyway, the origin of this axe is quite strange. I wonder which powerful ghost cultivator left it behind. It's too scary. Maybe it's a rare treasure that has come out of the world? Anyway, many people in Bafang City have come to the gates of hell. The great judge Cui Jue I mentioned before came here for this matter."

In fact, the little-headed ghost himself was also curious, how important was this axe

He muttered, "When I left, I heard Judge Cui tell our Judge Chu that Old Ni, who was under the command of Emperor Song, had also come. He was also a great judge. Anyway, recently our Jieyin Division has been connected to the area near the Ghost Gate, and there are judges everywhere. It's very chaotic. Just don't go out."

Judges are everywhere...

Jianchou smiled bitterly: "Now that you put it that way, why do I feel like I'm in danger?"

There are so many capable people here, what if they are discovered

"There is definitely danger. If you show up here at a time like this, people might think you have something to do with that axe."

The little-headed ghost was actually very nervous, and he spoke while thinking.

But when he said this, he was suddenly stunned.

Maybe people would think it has something to do with that axe

The little ghost's body suddenly became a little stiff. He raised his head and looked at Jianchou for a long time with a strange look, observing the subtle expressions on her face. He hesitated with a hint of probing: "... You can't really be related to that..."

Wasn’t the day when Jianchou was lying on that road the day when the axe appeared

A huge axe flying from the sky, a living person falling from the sky

When I think about it, it does feel a bit scary.

Even the little-headed ghost couldn't help but tremble.

Jianchou remained calm and said, "What does the heaven-fallen treasure have to do with me? Even if it has something to do with me, it's too late for you to react now."

"… "

The little-headed ghost opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

It is really as Jianchou said.

He has already boarded the pirate ship, how can he get off

Now they and Jianchou are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If one of them rebels, the boat will capsize immediately and everyone will die.

"But..." The little ghost still had doubts in his eyes, "Who are you?"

What's the origin...

Of course it’s the monk from Yashan.

However, Jianchou did not intend to tell the truth, because ten generations ago, there was a war between the cultivators of the Nineteen Continents and the ghost cultivators of the Extreme Region. This war was called the "Yin Yang Realm War" by the Extreme Region.

Yashan is not completely without presence in this battle.

In fact, the magical axe Jianchou got its name because it had killed countless evil spirits on the battlefield in the extreme domain.

Saying it out loud would be a bit like asking for death.

Jianchou said casually: "He is just an ordinary cultivator from the Nineteenth Continent. His cultivation level is probably equivalent to the Huazhu realm here."

"That is..."

The little-headed ghost's mouth twitched wildly and he didn't want to say a word.

Jianchou was quite perceptive and noticed the silence of the two little ghosts. It was not easy for him to take back his words, so he simply pretended that he had said nothing.

She had already asked about the ghost axe and had an understanding of the current situation. She immediately turned her attention back to the Qiankun bag.

The bag had been open for a while, and the big-headed ghost, who had not said anything, just stared at it, feeling a little curious and expectant.

As the two of them were watching, Jianchou reached into the bag.

It was such a small Qiankun bag, but it could hold her palm, which made the two little ghosts marvel at it.

Her mind was completely immersed in the Qiankun bag, and the things inside appeared in her mind almost instantly.

She picked and chose and took out a few things.

There are two jade bottles, one white and the other green, but the boxes are both made of the same hundred-year-old rosewood box, which has a rich fragrance.

The two little devils’ eyes popped out and they couldn’t wait to get close to it and take a look.

The big-headed ghost swallowed and his stomach made another thunderous sound.

The little ghost rubbed his hands, trying to find something to say, and asked knowingly: "Is this the elixir?"

Jianchou nodded and opened the white jade bottle first, and immediately a fragrant smell emanated from it.

She poured out two pills and placed them in her palm. They were like snowballs, clean and transparent.

"I have selected three kinds of pills that nourish the soul. The one in this white jade bottle is called Hanxin Pill. There should be eighteen pills in the bottle. For cultivators, it is just to warm the soul and the medicinal properties are mild. If these two pills are effective, you still have these two kinds of pills left."

Jianchou estimated that the cultivation base of the two people was not very high, so he put the two pills back into the bottle and handed the bottle to the little-headed ghost instead.

Then she picked up the green jade bottle.

"This contains the second type of elixir, called Jade God Pills. There are eight of them in the bottle. They can repair the damaged spiritual consciousness of the cultivators and nourish and strengthen their souls. Their effects should be much stronger than those of the Heart Pills."

In the green jade bottle were two sky-blue pills, each the size of a thumb, which looked beautiful at first glance.

It smells like grass.

The big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost looked at the two kinds of pills in a row. Just by smelling the fragrance of the pills, they felt a floating feeling, and it was even as if a stream of clear water was washing over their souls.

Now they almost don’t need to eat. Just based on this point, they have already believed that the pills given by Jianchou are definitely good stuff!

"Well, what about this?"

The first two kinds of pills are so powerful, I wonder what is in the remaining two boxes

The little ghost's eyes were shining and he couldn't wait.

Jianchou then pushed open the green jade bottle, moved the two boxes over, and opened them towards the two little ghosts.

The exquisite little box has circles of cloud patterns on it, reflecting the flowing light.

Each box contained only one pill, which was placed upright. It was about the size of a pigeon egg, but its entire body was an attractive red color. It did not look like a pill, but rather a gem!

As soon as this pill came out, a strong fragrance rushed out.

Both the big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost had a dazed look in their eyes. They felt as if a huge waterfall was rushing down from the top of their heads, washing their entire bodies.

Mouths dropped open, both of them were speechless.

Even a fool knows that this last one must be the best of the best!

Jianchou did not keep the secret. Recalling that these pills were casually given to him by Fudaoshanren, he could not help but think of the hidden treasures of his own master.

Unconsciously, she smiled and said, "The last kind is very powerful. Even if it is used by a Jindan-stage cultivator from the Nineteenth Continent, it will increase most of the soul power. I don't recommend you to take it for now. It may be more appropriate to use it when your cultivation is sufficient."

"Okay, okay, then we won't be polite."

The little-headed ghost couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Jianchou finished introducing the three kinds of pills, he pounced on them and hugged them all in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Jianchou stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait."

"kindness?"

The little-headed ghost was confused.

Jianchou looked at him calmly, and at the same time spread out his palms and smiled faintly: "Kung Fu."

"… "

This female cultivator is really...

Seeing the technique opens your eyes!

Looking at that white hand, the little ghost almost choked. He curled his lips and said, "Really? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Why are you so careful? Here it is!"

As he spoke, he reached into his sleeve and put another crumpled piece of paper directly into Jianchou's palm.

Jianchou took a look at the paper, which had been crumpled countless times and the writing on it was blurred, as if it had been blurred by something.

This one is even more broken than the last one!

"I only have the first three realms of the technique, namely, nourishing the spirit, concentrating the spirit, and transforming the pearl. This is all I have, which is very generous."

The little-headed ghost did not forget to show off his righteousness, and then he directly took the pill from the big-headed ghost.

“It’s sent!”

The big-headed ghost was also very happy and came close to the small-headed ghost.

The two men ignored Jianchou who was standing stiffly over there. After chatting for a while, they ran directly behind the stove, where Jianchou couldn't see them, and sat down on the ground.

However, Jianchou could still hear their excited discussions.

"Count quickly, is it eighteen?"

"One, two, three, four..."

"Shall we try one tonight?"

"That's great. I can get so many pills with just three levels of skills. Maybe it's enough for me to reach the Pearl Transformation Realm and condense a Soul Pearl."

"Uh-huh."

"Try it. Just one. No more."

"good."

These are not just hungry ghosts, they are also two poor ghosts.

After hearing the voice, Jianchou didn't even have the strength to sigh. He just forced himself to unfold the paper that was crumpled into a mess by the little-headed ghost and read it carefully.

As she expected, the soul-nurturing stage is just about nurturing the soul, and it will be considered a success until a mellow light emanates from the soul.

The subsequent "soul condensation" realm is to go to a higher level. After the soul is nurtured, the soul power must be condensed to make the soul look like jade, which is truly "warm and smooth like jade".

This process is like forging iron, first heating it over fire and then forging it.

The third level, the Pearl Transformation Realm, is similar to the "Golden Elixir Stage" among cultivators, and is also a purer collection of power condensed into pills.

It’s just that the Jindan stage is a qualitative change of spiritual power, while the Huazhu stage is a qualitative change of soul power.

Once the principle is understood, the remaining question is how to practice.

There was not much content on the page written by the little-headed ghost, but these questions were quite detailed. Jianchou struggled to decipher them word by word and soon understood them.

The land is rich in Yin Hua.

This is a word that the little-headed ghost mentioned before.

If the spiritual power absorbed by the cultivators of the Nineteen Continents comes from the void, from the plants, and from everything above our land, then the soul power cultivated by the ghost cultivators in the Extreme Regions is absorbed from the earth's Yin energy, from the earth, from the thick soil.

One is in heaven, the other is on earth.

Born in opposition, in the end, both the soul and the body need to be united and reach the state of "reaching the sky".

In this way, the so-called ghost cultivators and normal cultivators are nothing more than different starting points of cultivation, which also leads to differences in the selection of various Taoist arts.

It was clearly just a thin piece of paper, but Jianchou saw many things that he had never thought of before.

Her eyes gradually brightened, she thought for a moment, and suddenly raised her head again.

While she was reading the cultivation methods from level one to level three, the two little ghosts behind the stove fell silent.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she put the paper down, stood up, and looked over there.

The pills that Jianchou had given to him before were placed on the ground, but the white jade bottle was open.

The two little ghosts were sitting cross-legged on the ground, with ten points of light suspended three-quarters of their heads, like ten spiritual fires.

Three of them are blue and seven are dark red.

There are three souls and seven spirits, the soul is green and the spirit is red.

This point has been mentioned in the cultivation method. Jianchou had just read it and remembered it very clearly. She even remembered that the soul was green because the soul was good, and the spirit was red because the soul was evil.

The reason why humans are complex is that their soul and spirit are one, and they have both good and evil.

At this moment, the two little ghosts had their hands pressed on the ground. Perhaps it was because the martial arts had already started to work. An extremely turbid breath rose from under the ground, very faintly.

It followed the two little devils' fingers, climbed up their arms, and then reached their heads.

Then, the ten points of light all lit up.

only…

Jianchou suddenly frowned, because among the ten points of light, the seven bright red soul lights were obviously brighter, while the three pale green soul lights were dimmer.

Ghost cultivators absorb the earth's energy and nourish their souls.

Therefore, once the Yin Hua of the earth's power is extracted, the ten points of light representing the soul will also react.

But judging by the reaction at this moment, it is obvious that the light of the Seven Souls is brighter...

There was a faint white mist surrounding the bodies of the two little ghosts. It should be the Hanxin Pill they had just taken. Its nourishing power was circulating in circles and had not yet been completely absorbed.

However, every time a ray of power overflowed to the top of the head, the three points of green light would brighten.

What does this mean

Jianchou had a doubt in his mind.

She didn't walk over, but just stood there and looked for a while, then sat down again.

I guess the two little ghosts started meditating and practicing after eating the pills, so they didn't say anything. At least on the surface they seemed fine.

The specific effect of this pill will have to wait until the two of them finish practicing to know.

Judging from the current situation of the big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost, both guys seem to be still in the first level of the spirit-nourishing realm, close to a breakthrough.

This is equivalent to the peak of the Qi Refining Stage in the Nineteenth Continent.

But it’s just the Qi Refining Stage.

No wonder he's in such a miserable state.

Jianchou grumbled in his heart, and then said, "It's good to be able to help them."

The rest is her own business.

The whereabouts and traces of Guifu have been discovered, but new crises have also followed.

Neither the Reception Office nor the Ghost Gate are peaceful. According to the little-headed ghost, "judges are everywhere" and there is always danger.

First, she wanted to get the Ghost Axe back, second, she wanted to explore the secret of reincarnation in the Polar Realm, and third, she wanted to leave the Polar Realm smoothly and return to the Nineteen Continents.

Without cultivation and combat power, everything is just talk.

After calming himself down, a bit of determination appeared in Jianchou's eyes.

She reviewed the cultivation method of the Yang Shen Realm again, and after confirming that it was correct, she also sat down cross-legged at the table.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, but she didn't care much.

The ghost cultivators were originally in the state of souls, but I was not.

The soul and the spirit are still in the body, almost one, and Jianchou faces a difficult problem: before practicing, she must sense the soul.

You know, Fudaoshan spent a lot of effort to illuminate her soul.

So Jianchou naturally thought that this time it would not be smooth sailing for him, and he was even prepared for many failures.

Unexpectedly, Jiyu gave her a big surprise.

When she immersed her mind completely into her body and looked inward to try to find out the location of her soul, there was suddenly a soft "buzzing" sound in her mind, as if a layer of fog was instantly cleared away, and everything became clear.

The "spiritual platform" that had always existed only in her imagination but had never actually appeared suddenly appeared in her mind.

Above the spiritual platform, ten points of spiritual light similar to those of the big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost emerged.

Three blue and seven red.

However, among the three points of green light, the first point of green light looked like it had been bitten by someone and was missing a small piece, making it look extremely dim.

The third point of green light was a little smaller and dimmer than the second point of green light.

The remaining seven points of red light were relatively intact, only the last seventh point was dim, as if someone had bitten off a small piece of it.

The three souls and seven spirits of Jianchou are missing.

Among the three souls, the heavenly soul is missing three points, and the life soul is missing one point; among the seven souls, the heroic soul is missing three points.

Fudaoshanren had mentioned this to her at the beginning, and now Jianchou compared it one by one and found that it was exactly the same.

In the grave, dead and reborn.

That's the price.

Feeling the ten points of light floating and swaying in her mind, she suddenly thought of something else.

"It is hard to find an opponent below the level of the Out-of-Body. Once you have a chance to question your conscience, you will surely die..."

There was a smile on his lips, but it had a slightly bitter taste, but his eyes were calm.

Even if there is a dead end at the end, isn’t the scenery on the cliffs beautiful

Jianchou's drooping eyelashes trembled, but he did not open his eyes.

The ten points of spiritual light appeared too easily. Although she was puzzled, she did not understand the principle behind them. She only knew that since they appeared, it was an opportunity and she should just continue to practice.

He took a deep breath, and then let his hands, which were resting on his knees, drop down.

The warm fingertips moved downwards and touched the cold ground.

At the same time, she began to practice martial arts in her mind, but when she saw a vortex-like silver light flash across her fingertips, the vast evil land in the extreme region immediately turned gray.

There was a faint sound of wind in the air.

Jianchou only felt her fingertips suddenly feel cold, and then a gray-black breath rushed out from under the ground, was sucked into the vortex that Jianchou pressed on the ground, and immediately entered her body.

It was a feeling as if one's soul was stuffed into ice.

Jianchou almost trembled all over and was almost startled out of her state of cultivation. Fortunately, she forced herself to stay calm and was not interrupted by this sudden feeling.

The power of the earth only affects the soul, so this feeling occurs.

Spiritual power, on the other hand, first acts on the physical body.

Jianchou relaxed his body and slowly got used to it.

Soon, all the earth's Yin energy swirled up, flowing through Jianchou's body, and finally gathered in her mind, flew onto the spiritual platform, and rushed towards the ten points of spiritual light.

However, the expected flash of inspiration did not appear.

The scene was like putting quicksand into a sieve, and it just came down smoothly.

The ten points of spiritual light flickered only slightly, and then there was no more movement. The amount of earth power and Yin Hua that came in also leaked out.

At that moment, Jianchou's heart sank.

If the three souls and seven spirits are missing, it is like a complete container with a hole. Once the earth's Yin Hua enters, it will directly come out from the hole. Maybe a little bit of it will stick to the wall of the container, but most of it will not be retained at all.

With a frown on his face, Jianchou opened his eyes.

There was no light in the room, only the few points of spiritual fire on the heads of the big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost. She knew that when she was practicing, the three points of spiritual fire should have also appeared.

It was dim and dark outside.

Only half an hour passed from the time she started practicing to the time she failed in her first attempt.

From beginning to end, she did not encounter any difficulties in absorbing the earth's power and Yin Hua, and did not encounter the problems that ordinary ghost cultivators encounter. It can be said that she is quite talented in cultivation.

But she had a big problem with her soul, which was fine for almost everyone else.

In the past, the soul-nourishing pills that Fudao Shanren gave her had basically no effect. She was very puzzled at the time and only guessed that it was related to the deficiency of her own soul.

It was not until this moment, after trying the cultivation method of the Jiyu realm cultivators, that Jianchou finally understood the principles behind it.

For such a broken soul, elixirs are useless and the earth's power and essence cannot be absorbed. It is like a child who will never grow up.

No wonder people used to say “If you question your conscience, you will die.”

After leaving the body, the cultivator also cultivates the "heart", that is, the "soul". How can she withstand the calamity of leaving the body

Everything was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.

For the first time, Jianchou felt a suffocating pressure.

She was in a dilemma and couldn't find a solution for a while. After thinking for a moment, she closed her eyes again.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

She didn't know enough about the cultivation methods in the Jiyu Realm, so she might as well try a few more times to see if there was any chance of a turning point.

So, Jianchou started practicing again.

She extracted wisp after wisp of the earth's Yin energy, which flowed into her soul and dispersed again and again.

The night gradually deepened and there was no sound in the whole house.

However, the more the two little ghosts who were practicing behind the stove practiced, the more they realized that something seemed to be wrong.

How come the extracted earth essence becomes finer and less each time

After a while, the breath that was originally like a thick rope soon became just like a thin silk thread, as if it could be broken by just blowing out a breath!

this…

What's going on

The little-headed ghost opened his eyes in doubt and suspicion, thinking that there was something wrong with his practice. He never expected that the moment he saw the situation in the house clearly, his whole scalp exploded!

With Jianchou who was sitting at the table as the center, countless thick streams of earth energy converged into streams on the entire ground, one after another.

It was like a huge waterfall rising from the ground and rushing towards Jianchou who was sitting cross-legged like a blessing!

The little-headed ghost opened his mouth wide, feeling extremely heartbroken.

No wonder the amount of earth energy they extracted became less and less, it turned out that it was all taken away by the pervert sitting next to them!

"That's too much! That's too much! Don't you even leave some soup for others when you eat meat? You pervert, spit out the Dili Yinhua of others! Spit! Out! It!"

I really want to go up and strangle her!
