Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 77 - 72: Seven Evil Banner [Seeking Recommendation Tickets!]

He then pondered over the "Yellow Court Scripture."

After some exploration, he finally discovered the key point—

The "Karma Removal" feature within the "Yellow Court Scripture" could instantly purify a large amount of Incense Fire.

The effects of first-grade Karma Removal were beyond Lu Qingfeng's knowledge.

He only knew that with the second-grade Karma Removal, Incense Fire could be directly purified into Heavenly Silver. Heavenly Silver was also a form of Incense money, but due to its extremely high purity, its value far exceeded that of ordinary Incense money, and only those at the level of Primordial Spirit True One, or a Third Grade Great God, were capable of refining it.

Once made available, it would certainly be snapped up by Daoist Cultivators, Deities, and Ghost Cultivators.

One tael of Heavenly Silver could be exchanged for one hundred Incense Fire Big Coins.

And yet, a Primordial Spirit True One or a Third Grade Great God in possession of one hundred Incense Fire Big Coins could refine it into one tael of Heavenly Silver. A tenfold profit would be made with each exchange.

However, once one reached the echelons of Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit or Third Grade of Divine Dao, there were numerous ways to accumulate wealth, and this was merely a trivial gain.

As a result, Heavenly Silver circulated outside in the Cultivation World was exceedingly rare.

Lu Qingfeng, utilizing the "Yellow Court Scripture" to eliminate the Karma of Incense Fire, could produce Heavenly Silver on his own. With an ample supply of Incense Fire, he could refine one tael of Heavenly Silver in a single day.

Unfortunately, Fufeng Mountain's Incense Fire paled in comparison to that amassed by those great deities of the Divine Dao. Should Lu Qingfeng choose to refine recklessly, it would take no more than three days to completely transform all the Incense Fire accumulated in the Magic Domain into Heavenly Silver.

Roughly calculated, the Incense Fire accumulated by Fufeng Mountain in a year could, if refined into Incense money by ordinary deities, amount to about one thousand Incense Fire Small Coins, which was equivalent to ten Incense Fire Big Coins, and worth ten Spirit Stones.

By refining it into Heavenly Silver using the "Yellow Court Scripture," Lu Qingfeng could obtain one tael of Heavenly Silver, valued at one hundred Incense Fire Big Coins, matching the yearly Incense Fire of average Sixth Rank or Fifth Rank deities.

Deities had a long Life Span and accumulated wealth year after year, each possessing considerable riches.

"Heavenly Silver is the purest form of Incense Fire, no less valuable than top-level grade Jade Dew and Spirit Stones."

Lu Qingfeng opened his palm, and an ingot of Heavenly Silver, molded into the shape of a yuanbao and thumb-sized, amounting to one tael, lay resting in his hand.

"Heavenly Silver to Ghost Cultivators, equals a top-grade Spirit Pill medicinal wonder."

"It can also be used to nurture Evil Ghosts."

Holding the Heavenly Silver in his right hand, Lu Qingfeng flipped his left palm, revealing a triangular black banner adorned with bizarre, crimson patterns. When True Yuan was infused and the banner vigorously shaken, seven Blue-Faced Evil Ghosts with fierce fangs burst forth, flaunting their ferocity in the air and adopting menacing poses.

This black banner was a ghostly magical artifact known as the "Seven Evil Banner."

Within the Seven Evil Banner, seven Evil Ghosts could be confined. They were refined with the Evil Qi of heaven and earth, making them uncontrollably ferocious. In confrontation, shaking this banner would cause the seven Evil Ghosts to howl, enveloping the enemy with Evil Qi, rendering escape impossible!

Demon Dao cultivators, eager for swift success, would refine this banner, cultivating the Seven Evil Ghosts by feeding them living souls and refining them with towering resentment, enhancing their power with resentful and Evil Qi.

Over time, this would impact their temperament, leading to backlash from the magical artifact or invasion by the Heart Demon, ultimately resulting in a fate of death and soul dispersion.

Daoist Cultivators had other methods—

They would place the Seven Evil Banner at a location where Earth Evil Qi condensed underground, absorbing such Qi. Then, with Daoist Skill cultivation and Incense Fire transformed into Magic Food for nourishment, they could achieve strength comparable to that of Demon Dao cultivators and even surpass it in ease of control, reducing the risk of backlash.

Lu Qingfeng had heard of such a magical artifact from his peers in the Daoist community and immediately sought to acquire one for dedicated consecration.

If the cultivated Seven Evil Banner could meet his expectations, he would then seek to purchase the refining technique for protection in reality.

In the Cultivation World, with countless defensive measures and schemes at play, mastering a Seven Evil Banner, with Seven Evil Ghosts for protection, could compensate for the Puppet's weaknesses.

With the Yellow Court Scripture in hand, one can quickly refine Incense Fire into the purest Heavenly Silver. Heavenly Silver is used to cultivate Seven Evil Ghosts, the efficiency of which far exceeds that of ordinary Incense Fire money. The ghosts that are bred are more agile and ferocious.

"Duot!"

As the Seven Evil Ghosts emerge, Lu Qingfeng is immediately surrounded by chilling Yin Winds and surging Evil Qi.

He appears to be a cultivator from the Demon Dao, employing techniques from the Ghost Path. However, to the discerning eye, it becomes clear that the Seven Evil Ghosts swirling around Lu Qingfeng have had their resentment refined away, having been fostered using the most orthodox methods of the Xuanmen as Evil Ghost Guardians.

Lu Qingfeng, holding Heavenly Silver in his hand, flicks his fingers repeatedly, instantly transforming it into tables of Magic Food feasts appearing in the Void.

"Jiejiejie!"

The Seven Evil Ghosts make merry sounds, bowing to Lu Qingfeng with mock respect before eagerly rushing to devour meat and guzzle wine.

Lu Qingfeng continuously activates spells, refining without pause.

The Magic Food, upon entering the stomachs of the Seven Evil Ghosts, turns into pure Heavenly Silver that strengthens their power, and into divine flames that solidify their forms, erode their resentment and misdeeds.

Thus, the Evil Ghosts grow increasingly powerful.

Once the refinement is complete, the strength of the ghosts has surged mightily.

"The Seven Evil Banner is a First Rank Magic Artifact that can accommodate up to seven Condensed Liquid Realm ghosts. Once unleashed, even Body Refining Realm practitioners must be exceedingly cautious. One misstep, and they risk being invaded by the Evil Qi or torn to shreds by the ghosts."

To rapidly elevate the Seven Evil Ghosts requires consuming a tremendous amount of Incense Fire.

The ghosts captured by Lu Qingfeng were of average strength, only at the level of the True Qi Realm. Due to their many misdeeds, they were apprehended by the Yin Soldiers of Fufeng Mountain and imprisoned in the Netherworld Domain. From among them, Lu Qingfeng selected seven ghosts with the densest resentment and sin, and sealed them inside the Seven Evil Banner.

The cultivation consumed nearly three taels of Heavenly Silver, which in terms of Spirit Stones, amounts to a full three thousand pieces! It took seven years of arduous work to elevate the strength of the seven ghosts to the level of Condensed Liquid Realm Practitioners.

For Lu Qingfeng, this was indeed a massive increase in power.

Setting aside the Grade in the Divine Dao, his own cultivation is merely at the Energy Introduction Stage. With the aid of this banner, he can battle practitioners of the Body Refining Realm—a leap across two realms: Condensing Liquid and Nourishing Yuan.

But the consumption is also immense.

Three taels of Heavenly Silver, if sought in the outside world, would cost three thousand Incense Fire Big Coins or three thousand Spirit Stones. Lu Qingfeng, refining it himself from Incense Fire, only needed the amount equivalent to three hundred Big Coins, but this still means a consumption of three hundred Spirit Stones.

Considering the price of a common Level 4 Puppet, which requires four hundred Spirit Stones, ordinary cultivators would be at a slight loss, whereas Lu Qingfeng stands to gain immensely.

However, when factoring in the time cost and the inherent cost of the Magic Artifact itself, it undoubtedly falls short of the efficiency of puppets.

"If I were to enhance the Seven Evil Banner further, granting the Seven Evil Ghosts the techniques of ghost cultivation and meticulously fostering them, I could gain additional protective means beyond puppets to prepare for the unexpected. The refining method of Heavenly Silver from the Yellow Court Scripture must not be leaked. Even if I acquire Heavenly Silver, it would be problematic to trade, so it must have a use."

Lu Qingfeng pondered.

After personally testing the might of the Seven Evil Banner, Lu Qingfeng decided to purchase the refining method for the Seven Evil Banner.

If cultivated to its ultimate potential, the inherent power of the Seven Evil Banner was already formidable.

With enhancement through Derivation Technique and self-refining, the power of the Seven Evil Banner could be pushed even further.

Yet, at the same time, he still needs to seek methods of harvesting Incense Fire Wish Power.

In reality, Lu Qingfeng has not yet held a Divine Position and has no source of Incense Fire.

However, if he could gain the faith of the several millions of subjects of Upper Sun Country, it would provide Lu Qingfeng with a vast sea of Incense Fire, an inexhaustible source of Heavenly Silver.
