Although Huang Chang himself didn't really care, in his opinion, it was the same as teaching students to dissect the corpses of dead people in medical schools, so there was no need to think too much. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the sect is still quite taboo about this - including those teachers who are responsible for teaching this "exorcism" technique, always say that this kind of thing is good after all, and it hurts yin and morality, and it is better to do as little as possible.

However, for the soul of the beast, it doesn't matter at all, just use it as a guinea pig. However, there are too few beasts that can form ghosts, and it is really difficult to find. Now that we have encountered it, of course, we can't let it go. So Huang Chang continued to move forward unhurriedly, the remaining traces of yin qi were so faint that they were almost invisible, but Huang Chang no longer needed to look for traces, he turned to observe the surrounding terrain more, stopped from time to time, and pinched out the fingers in his hand to calculate--he was now using the way of the formation to calculate the environment in which those wandering spirits were generated.

Soon after, Huang Chang came to a valley depression, which was low-lying, dark and damp, surrounded by stagnant water, which was the so-called "Yin Fu Pond, Ghost Raising Land" in Feng Shui physiognomy, and it was easy to hide yin qi. If anyone dares to choose this cemetery, it will not take a few years for the coffin to be buried, and it will either turn into a zombie or become a ghost.

At present, there are no graves in this depression, but Huang Chang saw that there were a few dead trees standing in the middle of the depression, which was similar to a tombstone, which was a natural place to raise ghosts. The surroundings were gloomy and lonely. But in Huang Chang's eyes, it is exactly what he wants:

"That's right...... This should be the place......"

With a chuckle, Huang Chang took out his tools and walked towards the dead trees with confidence.

............

It was getting dark, and when Huang Chang hit the road again, he had added something to his backpack - a few small pieces of wood that were only a few inches long. It looks inconspicuous, but Huang Chang drew several spells on it, and tied it tightly with the talisman of the demon suppression, especially cautious.

These woods were dug out by Huang Chang from the hearts of those dead trees, and they are quite famous in the world of cultivating immortals, and they are most suitable as a place for the souls of yin ghosts. At this moment, those wandering spirits are hidden in it, and they dare not show their heads during the day, but at night or in a dark place, they will inevitably behave again. Although Huang Chang was not afraid of them, he didn't want to be haunted every day wherever he went, so he simply used the Soul Sealing Talisman to bind the demon rope and the like to control it first, and then slowly dealt with it after returning to the mountain.

“...... This time I was lucky, not only did I catch a few lonely ghosts, but I also found several soul-attracting woods, which are rare in the mountains. ”

Huang Chang was like yesterday, jumping more than a dozen feet with the help of the small breeze charm to move at high speed, while Mei Zizi remembered the few pieces of wood in his backpack. There is no specific restriction on the variety of soul attracting wood, it can be produced in any wild tree and miscellaneous wood, but the conditions for its production are quite harsh: it must be a naturally dead trunk, preferably struck by lightning, peach or locust wood is the best, in an environment suitable for feng shui, it is possible to produce soul attracting wood by long-term infiltration of yin qi - only possible. Many monks have created similar environments, hoping to artificially create Soul Attracting Wood, but the success rate is extremely low and the price is extremely high.

What can the Soul Wood do - it can be used to make a container for "storing" ghosts, that is, soul objects. Ghosts are ethereal spirits that must depend on a single entity in order to exist. At least in its early stages, only when it reaches the very strong ghost immortal stage, which is similar to a monk entering the Dharma Yuan stage, can he be self-contained without relying on external objects.

In this Xianxia world, ghosts are easy to form, and there are many naturally formed parasites. These naturally occurring parasitic objects come in all forms, and most of them are related to the objects near the burial of the deceased: such as coffins, tombstones, shrouds, and burial goods...... Wait a minute. But on the one hand, these things have a variety of strange styles, and they are very inconvenient to carry - those monks who practice the art of "exorcism" want to bring a tamed ghost to their service, they must bring their soul parasitic things with them, otherwise the ghost alone will not be able to take them away.

On the other hand, naturally occurring parasites are often of poor material and cannot withstand further tempering - what has been buried in the ground for many years will inevitably decay and break. However, the quality of the parasitic soul will directly affect the strength of the ghost, just as the quality of the natal magic weapon of an immortal cultivator will affect its cultivation speed.

And the most important point is that the soul parasite is often the core life of the low-level ghosts, and if the soul object is destroyed, the ghost will also disappear from the world. Naturally-occurring parasites, no matter their shape, material, or shape, are difficult to adapt to the fierce battles between monks - can you imagine a monk carrying a coffin board or a tombstone to fight with someone?

Therefore, after obtaining a ghost with good quality, if those monks who practice the art of "soul exorcism" want to cultivate it into a ghost servant who can really carry it with them, can use it flexibly in battle, and is not afraid of being destroyed by the enemy, most of them will use the secret method of "soul transfer" to exchange it for a soul parasitic object: a man-made, small and sturdy soul parasitic artifact that can be carried on the body and will not be easily damaged.

- Soul cards made of soul-attracting wood are one of the most common. A monk with a soul card is equivalent to carrying a ghost servant with him. Like storage artifacts, they are both items that are of great help to immortal cultivators, but they are also rare - storage artifacts need to be made with materials with spatial attributes, while soul artifacts need to be similar to soul-attracting wood, which has the effect of attracting and hiding ghosts.

Huang Chang got several soul-attracting woods this time, and after returning to the mountain, he handed over these materials to the sect's "Tiangongtang", so that he could ask the refining masters in the sect to refine at least one soul card for himself. Of course, before that, he had to dispose of the beast ghosts in it, which had no problem for Huang Chang, anyway, he had planned to use them as guinea pigs for research and consumption.

In a happy mood, Huang Chang didn't care too much about the direction of progress, but accidentally found that he had taken a fork in the road, so he had to hurry back by detour. By noon, he seemed to have come to a densely populated spot—a relatively smooth road appeared on the ground, with the occasional pedestrian passing. Huang Chang happened to be running out of the effect of the little breeze talisman at this moment, so in order to avoid being too ostentatious, he walked along that road like an ordinary traveler.

It's just that there are many troubles in places with many people, and it hasn't been long since Huang Chang encountered the thieves who cut the path one after another......
