Chapter 9: Alone at the Feast

Feeling that the soul mist didn't seem to have fully emerged, Shi Chi Yan sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

He had been practicing the Inner Dan Technique for more than a month, and he had only just mastered the first level of refining and refining qi, but as he broke through to the Soul Gathering Period, his Inner Dan technique also took advantage of the situation to cross the first level and stepped into the second level of refining and refining qi and transforming gods.

The so-called Neidan technique is the practice after the foundation of Taoism, and the first refinement of qi is to combine one's own essence and vitality into a light and qualitative essence of the combined thing, in other words, energy.

Although he was later rescued and resurrected by Li Hexian, he had invisibly crossed the scope of refining and refining qi, which was also the key to his ability to master the first weight in just one month.

The second level of refining qi and transforming the gods is to merge qi with gods, which in simple terms, is to integrate energy with one's own mind.

The world talks about the soul, but only cultivators and a few people know that most people actually only have the spirit, that is, the mind, and only those who have cultivated to the advanced level such as the ghost path or other systems can condense their "soul", and then merge with the mind and turn into a soul.

As for why the appearance of people after death is still in human form rather than a fog closer to the shape of the mind, it is because people have been aware of themselves as human since childhood, so after death, the mind will instinctively turn into a human form when they leave the body.

If a person has been taught to be a wolf since he was a child, and he has fundamentally implemented this idea, then his mind will actually be a wolf after death.

This is off topic, and the Taoist refining qi and transforming the god is the combination of energy and thoughts, and the second level of the ghost path is based on its own energy, integrated into the mind, and turned into soul mist.

The two are fundamentally similar, so that after Shi Chi Yan stepped into the refining qi and transforming gods, the progress was amazingly fast, but in more than an hour, he had already stabilized in this heavy realm, and also made the fog shroud range of the soul sea reach a radius of seventy meters, almost seven-tenths of the soul sea, which is the so-called late stage of soul gathering.

With the growth of strength, the sense of time and death is also enhanced, as his mind is united, he immediately senses that there are more than a dozen ghosts upstairs, among which the weakest is only the flow of ghosts, but the strongest of them is as big as the sun, which is full of evil thoughts, and from time to time exudes strong evil thoughts, he only sensed it slightly, and felt a wave of evil thoughts rise in his heart, so shocked that he quickly concentrated on resolving it.

The first time he stabilized his cultivation, Shi Chiyan opened his eyes and said solemnly: "The one above is the peak of the evil ghost!" ”

Shi Yirui's smile stiffened slightly, even if he already knew, he was in a state of confusion at the moment: "Damn, it's actually an evil ghost, I don't know if I can carry these gems." ”

"In addition to the evil ghosts, there are also three resentful ghosts and a dozen wandering ghosts." Shi Chi died and made up for it.

Shi Yirui's smile became more and more ugly, as if crying: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Cold salad!" Standing up, Shi Chi's face sank like water, and asked, "If I entangle the evil spirits and a few evil spirits, and the rest come to besiege you, how long can you hold out?" ”

Shi Yirui was stunned, and just wanted to open his mouth, but he closed his mouth inexplicably, and was silent for a moment before he whispered: "If there are only wandering ghosts and shaped ghosts, I can defeat them alone, and hand over those resentful ghosts to me." ”

After taking a deep look at her, Shi Chiyan nodded and said, "Okay, please." ”

The five words in a flat tone made Shi Yirui's heart tremble, and he forcibly endured the sour tip of his nose and said in a low voice: "Survive." ”

"Don't worry." Shi Chiyan smiled, turned his head to look at the window sealed by the iron plate, and there was a little more bitterness in his eyes.

Maybe it's really hard to survive this time! But if he can survive, he must go to her and ask why he left secretly.

*——*——*

"Junior brother, he actually ...... Also a cultivator? ”

Looking at the other side in a daze, the woman's beautiful eyes flashed with a little surprise, and she immediately came to her senses: "No, he wasn't back then, otherwise I wouldn't ...... Yes, I should have only become a cultivator in recent years. ”

"But ......"

"Idiot! What's so strong? Obviously the ghosts below have been destroyed, wouldn't it be better to stay down there honestly? There is a magic circle on the top floor, and if you don't open the door, the evil spirit won't be able to come out at all, and as soon as you open the door...... Damn! ”

The silver teeth were clenched, and the woman was about to jump up on tiptoes, but she didn't want the young man behind her to suddenly stop in front of her, and said hurriedly: "Sister Wei, no, you were seriously injured by the ninth general, and your current strength is only at the level of the day tour, and you can't open the magic circle at all." ”

"Who said I couldn't open it!"

Under the night, the woman's beautiful eyes turned dark red, as if there was an endless fire burning, and the original faint aura also rose sharply at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to return to its former peak.

"Cathode back to yang? No, you can't! The young man changed in shock and said hurriedly, "If you do this, it is tantamount to ruining all these years of skill, once the sect master returns, he will definitely not spare the time after knowing it." ”

The woman's original soaring breath suddenly stopped, yes, even if she desperately rescued Shi Chi, once her father came back and knew about it, she would definitely not let Shi Chi die, even if she was in her heyday, she couldn't stop her father, let alone herself after being seriously injured.

Thinking of this, the woman was at a loss, and the aura that was about to climb to the peak fell little by little.

*——*——*

On the top floor of the Longyu Hotel, Shi Chiyan stood at the door of the largest banquet hall, staring at the closed door, his breathing slowly became heavy, even if he had made a decision, he still had some gains and losses when he was about to face the evil ghost beyond his limit.

After a long silence, Shi Chi's gaze slowly turned firm, raised his hand and pressed it on the door, and pushed it away little by little.

With a creak, the door was slowly pushed open by him, and a strong yin qi that was almost suffocating also gushed out of it, almost instinctively, Shi Chi Yan performed the Inner Dan Technique, and a strong suction force poured out of his body, intercepting eighty percent of the spurted yin qi, and the remaining two percent were also dissolved by Shi Yirui's spell in the back.

As eighty percent of the yin qi entered his body, Shi Chi Yan found that the soul mist had expanded out a few meters, and suddenly his heart sank, and a thought couldn't help but float to his mind.

Now he is not the opponent of the evil ghost, if he absorbs all the other ghosts except the evil ghost, can he break through to the soul cultivation stage and then match this evil ghost?

As soon as this thought arose, it intensified uncontrollably, and after a long time of thoughts, but his face remained silent, and he opened the door completely, and stepped into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall on the top floor is the largest banquet hall in the whole hotel, and the banquet halls below are several banquet halls, but this top floor is a banquet hall on the first floor, which can be imagined as a large area.

Although the hall was pitch black, with the idea of breaking through to the Soul Gathering Period and strengthening it several times, Shi Chi Yan keenly sensed that more than a dozen ghosts on the top floor were scattered all over the top floor, and the strongest of them was more than ten meters in front of him.

According to Shi Yirui, except for the human race and some innate ghost races, the ghosts that ordinary creatures turn into after death will not have complete sanity before they become ghost pawns, that is to say, this peak-level evil ghost, its sanity may only be at the level of a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Just provoke it and let it ...... attention" Before he could finish his thoughts, he suddenly heard a low laugh in front of him: "What are you thinking?" ”

How could it be possible to change color in shock? This demon is actually talking to himself?

"Surprised?"

In the darkness ahead, there was a huge black shadow that was faintly visible, it looked directly at Shi Chi Di, and the voice full of evil thoughts also sounded loudly: "Didn't you come up just to kill me alone?" Unfortunately, you don't know that the reason why I let you slaughter my people down there is because this banquet hall has a magic circle seal, and we can't get out unless we open the door from the outside. ”

"And you don't know, do you? As long as you wait outside until dawn, the people of the Yin Yang Sect can open the magic circle and save you out, haha, it's a pity, but you are looking for death, and you came and opened the door yourself, I really don't know what kind of expression they will have when they are outside now! ”

"It turns out that ...... after dawn" Chi Yan was slightly stunned, and he didn't have time to regret it in his heart, the evil ghost seemed to notice the change in his expression, and laughed: "Do you regret it?" Scared? Ha ha! Do you think I will send my men to kill your companions, as you think? Of course not! Since you are one of the only two cultivators among them, then of course I will concentrate my efforts on getting rid of you first!" ”

By the time the last sentence fell, the evil thoughts on the demon's body had become so strong that it was almost substantial, and the ghosts that had been scattered around the banquet hall also seemed to have received an order, and they flew from all directions with a strange roar, flying around Shi Chi Di.

Surrounded by many ghosts, Shi Chi was silent for a moment, suddenly smiled softly, and muttered: "I've been lazy all my life, but I didn't expect to be proud before I died!" Hehe. ”

Before the laughter stopped, Shi Chi Yan suddenly flashed out, grabbed the three ghosts on the left, his hands flashed with golden light, and his arms opened a hug, and he hugged the three ghosts together.

A spun body absorbed the ghost qi they scattered, and when he stepped on it, he rushed to the front of a resentful ghost, and the five thunder seals condensed, and the head was smashed.

As he stepped into the late stage of Soul Gathering, the power of the [Five Thunder Spell] also increased a lot, and the resentful ghost was immediately torn apart under one blow, and before it could recover its body, Shi Chi Di's left hand slashed out, and the finger holding the vajra finger easily shattered the remnants of the resentful ghost.

He was just about to absorb the resentment that had dispersed after the death of this resentful ghost, and suddenly felt that the evil thoughts behind him were flourishing, and it was the peak evil ghost who saw him suddenly burst out and killed four of his subordinates in a row, and he was furious and personally attacked.

The evil ghost did not move, once it attacked, the majestic evil thoughts poured over like a tide, even if Shi Chi Yan turned his back to it, he felt his chest suffocate, and only six points of strength remained.
