Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 367 - 194: Divine Soul Technique Acquired

"If only there were a magic for dual cultivation."

Ji Yuan thought to himself as he finished going through all the Jade Scrolls, still unable to find the legacy items of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Damn, could I be this unlucky? Such great things, did Ma Xingkong destroy them after learning them just once?

Or is it that this legacy is at some place he couldn’t take it away from? To learn it, one must find that place?

While Ji Yuan pondered this, his Divine Sense continued to search repeatedly in Ma Xingkong’s Storage Bag. After a moment, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

In the location where Ma Xingkong stored Spiritual Artifacts, there lay a Magical Artifact.

This was already strange enough, and it turned out to be a Mid-grade Magical Artifact that looked like it wasn’t much use, and its shape was that of a belt.

When it comes to belts, most of them are Defensive Magical Artifacts.

But whether for defense or attack, they weren’t much use to Ma Xingkong, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If so, why did he still keep it?

The belt was mostly leather-like, its material unknown and made from Demon Beast Hide. Only at the center of the belt was an embedded jade, which did not appear mundane.

After Ji Yuan took it out, his Divine Sense scanned it but found no abnormalities.

It wasn’t until he injected it with Spiritual Qi and refined it that he discovered... the belt actually had a slight storage capacity!

The emerald in the center of the belt acted as a small Storage Bag, about a square foot in size, with not much inside, only three items.

A Jade Scroll.

Another Jade Scroll.

The last was a skull-shaped ring.

Ji Yuan glanced and knew that these were the legacies of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Because... he flipped his hand and took out an identical ring from his own Storage Bag, which was given to him after the Ghost Island Master died.

Being related to the Yin Ghost Sect, Ji Yuan had kept it until now.

As soon as he took it out, a change occurred.

The two rings acted like living things, flying towards each other and then merging together.

With a soft "snap,"

the two skull rings fused into one, although slightly different from before, with the most noticeable change being that the ring now had two skull heads instead of one.

"What is this about?"

Ji Yuan injected a thread of Spiritual Qi into the ring but did not dare to use too much.

Then, just as before, a black mist rose from the skull, and a flamboyant character "Yin" appeared above the ring.

The character "Yin" lasted for two breaths before dispersing into smoke.

The two rings fused into one without any change?

Intuition told Ji Yuan that it was unlikely.

He vaguely felt that the ring might have to be worn on the hand to change, since after all, that was the intended use of a ring.

After some thought, Ji Yuan ultimately didn’t dare to try it on then and there. He worried that if any changes occurred after wearing it, they might not be good if they were bad.

Ji Yuan planned to return to Mist Island and try it on a doomed Corpse Puppet.

He was even reluctant to let Tu Yue try it.

Next, it was time to examine the two Jade Scrolls.

Ji Yuan first took out the one on the left, injecting his Divine Sense, a memory flowed into his mind... Where the Soul Banner shines, is my homeland... Condensing Yin Souls... Immortal after death... Proof of eternal life...

After thoroughly examining it, Ji Yuan understood the contents within the Jade Scroll.

Indeed, it was the ritual refining method for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, as well as the way to condense a deceased person’s Yin Soul into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, making full use of it.

Good stuff, store it away!

When the Yin Ghost Banner and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are deployed, who would dare say that I, er, Qiu Qianhai, am not a Demon Cultivator?!

Moreover, Ji Yuan even thought of a combo, that is, first using the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to make the opponent think the Yin Ghosts are such rubbish, and when they let their guard down, launch the two Yin Ghosts hidden in the Yin Ghost Banner to sneak attack, thus capturing the opponent in one move.

After learning this ritual refinement method, Ji Yuan took out the remaining Jade Scroll.

Injecting his Divine Sense, another wave of memory surged in.

But compared to the previous content, this time the content was much more complex, making Ji Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness feel a little pricked.

The content was profound.

After exploring it all, Ji Yuan finally understood why; because the Jade Scroll contained a cultivation technique, and not an ordinary one.

Because it was... a Divine Soul Cultivation Technique!

The technique was called the "Nine Que Town Soul Classic."

But this technique seemed to be split into two parts, and the part Ma Xingkong obtained was only the upper part.

The upper part was a protective divine soul secret technique called "Soul Suppressing Bell," which roughly enabled one to condense a Golden Bell around their Divine Soul for constant protection.

The lower part was an offensive type of divine soul secret technique.

Name unknown, effect unknown.

Its location was also unknown.

In short, Ma Xingkong did not have it.

Thus, Ji Yuan understood why he was so eager for his own legacy.

He most likely thought that he had the lower part of the "Nine Que Town Soul Classic."

Indeed, the upper part’s "Soul Suppressing Bell" wasn’t that effective.

Since ordinary cultivators typically don’t have divine soul attack techniques... Oh right!

Ji Yuan suddenly realized why Ma Xingkong hid in the Ghost Seeking Cave; he had cultivated the Soul Suppressing Bell.

The cavern’s extremely dangerous Yin Wind posed no threat to him.

As for Earth-bound Spirits, they could be avoided, and the Ghost Wall wasn’t as much a threat to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, so it made sense why he was willing to hide there.

Other’s hell, my paradise.

But regardless, this divine soul type of cultivation technique is certainly excellent. If I can master it, I’ll gain a major advantage.

If I encounter someone with a divine soul offensive secret technique, they may kill others, but not me... Ji Yuan suddenly thought of something.

Liancheng Mountain.

The mutated Spirit Crystal Beast in the Spirit Vein, doesn’t that thing swallow people’s Divine Souls?

Yang Taian was killed by that thing, and Ji Yuan was worried for a long time then. If I could master the Soul Suppressing Bell, even if I met it, the Spirit Crystal Beast wouldn’t be a threat anymore.

Great stuff, great stuff... After obtaining the second legacy of the Yin Ghost Sect, Ji Yuan felt settled inside.

Given that, he must return to the sect soon.

Cultivate this "Nine Que Town Soul Classic," and upgrade the [Chicken Cage].

Ji Yuan hadn’t forgotten that the primary reason for this extensive effort was to upgrade the [Chicken Cage] to secure the Tri-colored Spirit Eggs, which could increase the Dantian’s capacity limit.
