Chapter 6: The Journey of a Hundred Ghosts
After separating from Anfu, Shen Lang returned to the room alone and recalled what happened that day.
Just like going to school in a previous life, the classroom, classmates, and teachers learn new knowledge in class.
But the things you learn in this life are different, you need to desperately master the knowledge of books in the previous life, but now the more important thing is your own ability, and these classmates may kill you one day.
Putting away his thoughts, Shen Lang began to concentrate on practicing the spell he learned today.
Starting from the art of controlling ghosts, Shen Lang carefully contacted and drew mana runes, slowly condensing from the beginning, over and over again, constantly increasing the proficiency of Cheng DΓΉ, and the drawn runes were getting closer and closer to when Yang Ming demonstrated at that time.
I don't know how long it took me, but the mana in my body was never exhausted, and there was no problem of insufficient mana for beginners, and Shen Lang, who was concentrating on practicing, didn't notice it at all.
After practicing forty or fifty times, Shen Lang was actually able to draw runes with a single movement of his mind, which was a level that was difficult for many beginner disciples of the Netherworld Sect to reach, but he didn't expect Shen Lang to succeed in practicing in the afternoon.
The ghost talisman slowly rotated in Shen Lang's hand, and the mysterious pattern continued to flow, although the principle of this talisman was not completely clear, but it was able to practice to the level of condensation of the talisman in the mind, Shen Lang was already very satisfied.
At this time, the rune in his hand was inexplicably absorbed by the seed of creation in the sea of knowledge, and the sudden change made Shen Lang at a loss, anxiously observing the seed of creation in the sea of knowledge, and he didn't know whether it was good or evil.
A moment later, another rune came out from the Seed of Creation, but it was much more complicated than the rune drawn by the Demon Fighting Technique, Shen Lang didn't know why, but he felt that he completely understood that this rune was much more advanced than the previous rune.
I glanced at the Creation Seed in the Sea of Consciousness again, and there was no change for half a day, as if nothing had happened before.
Sighing, no longer continuing to study the mutation just now, Shen Lang planned to test the thoughts in his heart.
He didn't immediately begin to practice the Demon Suppression Technique that came from the Seed of Creation, but instead began to practice the Nether Ghost Claw.
After practicing over and over again, there is no need to worry about the consumption of mana in the body, and the recovery speed of the true qi in Shen Lang's body far exceeds the consumption rate of these spells.
Basically, when the spell was cast, the true qi in the body was replenished again, and it was still improving, and the cultivation in the afternoon also increased the true qi in Shen Langqi's sea by several percent.
Without the worry of running out of true qi, Shen Lang kept practicing the spell of this Nether Ghost Claw until he raised this spell to the point where a huge ghost claw form appeared outside his body.
Just like just now, he was absorbed by the seed of creation in the sea of knowledge, and after a long time, he taught Shen Lang a brand-new, more powerful, and optimized Nether Ghost Claw,
At this time, Shen Lang was suddenly ecstatic in his heart, his previous idea was really right.
The ability of the seed of creation in the sea of knowledge is to optimize the spell, and there may be other abilities that have not been discovered for the time being, but in terms of this ability, it is definitely a top-level supernatural power.
Being able to optimize the spells he learned into more powerful spells, and Shen Lang felt that he could quickly learn and master a spell, which was also related to this seed of creation.
The Creation Seed in the Sea of Qi has a strong ability to absorb and refine the aura, which makes Shen Lang's True Qi recovery speed and quality very good.
There is no need to care about the current consumption of these spells, unlike other disciples, in the early stage of cultivation, the true qi in the body was exhausted without using a few spells, and they had to rest and meditate to recover their true qi before they could continue to practice, while Shen Lang had no problems with this at all.
At present, the only thing that has not worked is the seed of creation in the middle dantian, but Shen Lang is not worried, even if it is not a powerful talent, the other two talents are enough to defy the sky, not to mention that the seed of creation is also the perfect form of Shen Lang's condensation, but the power has not yet come out.
After cultivating all night and concentrating on cultivating the art of resisting ghosts and the claws of the ghosts very proficiently, even if the true qi is enough, but mentally tired, besides, there are more important things tomorrow, so let's get here today.
In half a day, these two spells have been cultivated like a disciple who has been in the beginners for many years, and Shen Lang is proud enough.
Compared to other beginner disciples, the amount of true qi in the body is insufficient, and one spell can only be cultivated twenty or thirty times a day at most.
Unlike Shen Lang, there is no need to worry about the consumption of true qi at all, even if a genius is like Jiang Yingxue, An Fu and Jiang Tao have only practiced twice as much as others, how can they compare with Shen Lang.
Thinking of this, Shen Lang did not go to sleep, but began to meditate and practice qi, absorbing more aura, hoping to break through the qi induction period as soon as possible.
The criterion for breaking through the qi induction period is also very simple, that is, to fill the entire dantian with mana.
Although Shen Lang's speed of absorbing spiritual energy was comparable to that of a high-level cultivator, Shen Lang's dantian had a full three Creation Seeds, which divided a large part of it.
Moreover, the seed of creation formed in Shen Lang's sea of qi had expanded Shen Lang's dantian many times, so if Shen Lang wanted to cultivate to break through, he would have to spend more effort than others.
This can be regarded as having advantages and disadvantages, if it is placed on someone else at the speed at which Shen Lang absorbs the aura, it will not take a few days to reach the pulse period.
However, Shen Lang's dantian is extremely large, and he still has to cultivate three Creation Seeds, and the consumption is several times that of others.
In order to break through as soon as possible, Shen Lang decided to use qi training instead of sleeping, even if the talent is good, it needs to be cultivated to transform into strength, and there are not a few geniuses who die halfway.
The night passed quickly in meditation, and Shen Lang also felt that the mana in the sea of qi had increased a few points.
For this speed, Shen Lang doesn't know whether it is slow or fast, but the road is step by step, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.
After practicing qi for a night, although it can replace sleep, but the body is still a little stiff, after moving his legs and feet, Shen Lang quickly finished washing, and then went to find Anfu, and the two went together.
After coming out, Shen Lang quickly found the house where Anfu lived, knocked on Anfu's door hard, and after a while, Anfu finished tidying up.
The two went to the main hall together, and on the way An Fu excitedly talked to Shen Lang, he thought last night that he could catch a ghost to raise today, and when the time came, he would go home and scare the people who had bullied him at that time.
Shen Lang smiled noncommittally, thinking in his heart that by that time, you would not be interested in dealing with those people anymore, and after becoming a monk, the relationship between you and mortals would be like a summer worm that could not be spoken.
Listening to Anfu's chatter and self-entertainment all the way, Anfu is only in his teens, naturally many ideas are immature, but Shen Lang doesn't say anything, just listens quietly and laughs on the side, occasionally replying half a sentence.
Since they were able to go to the Hundred Ghost Forest today to catch the first ghost, all the disciples were very excited in their hearts, and they all came early, and a group of people were talking outside the main hall.
It didn't take long for Teacher Yang Ming to arrive, and after counting the number of people first, and making sure that everyone had arrived, he set off for the Hundred Ghost Forest with a group of disciples.
The Hundred Ghost Forest is some distance from the main hall, and it took an hour to arrive, but these little guys are tired enough, but Shen Lang is still in good shape and does not feel very tired.
Yang Ming saw that everyone was a little tired, so he ordered to rest on the spot for a while, and everyone sat on the ground after hearing this.
Looking at the teenagers rubbing their arms and legs, Yang Ming said with a smile: "After entering the Hundred Ghost Forest, I will prepare the peachwood sword and the soul bell, and the teacher will not go in with you for a while, so when the time comes, everything will depend on you to deal with it, if you really can't hold on, come out quickly, don't throw your little life inside." β
This is also the rule of the Netherworld Sect, if you want to get a ghost, you have to rely on your own means, and at this time, the tutors of each class are not allowed to help.
After finishing speaking, Yang Ming found a shady place to sit down and close his eyes to recuperate.
Almost after everyone had rested enough, Shen Lang took An Fu to the first place in the Hundred Ghost Forest.
Jiang Yingxue, a thin little girl, set off alone in order to challenge Shen Lang.
Jiang Tao was just about to say something, but seeing that the three of them had already moved, he had to pout his lips and follow in.
Seeing that someone took the lead, the rest of the people also slowly followed in, although Yang Ming said that he would not care about the safety of everyone, but these disciples are the future of the sect, how can Yang Ming really rest assured.
Shen Lang and An Fu walked into the Hundred Ghost Forest, looking at the big trees that covered the sky and the sun all around, the sun shone through the leaves, and the whole forest looked gloomy, the little fat man An Fu said with some fear: "Brother Lang, let's wait for others." β
Shen Lang deliberately teased An Fu, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth: "What's the matter, little fatty? Didn't you still want to catch a ghost yesterday and go back to scare people? Why are you scared now?"
An Fu smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say, and pulled Shen Lang's cuffs for a long time: "Brother Lang, I didn't know that this place was so scary, wasn't it overjoyed yesterday." β
Shen Lang patted An Fu's shoulder and comforted the little fat man who was a little trembling: "This is just the first test of our cultivation, and we have learned spells again, as well as magic weapons to restrain these ghosts, don't be afraid of following you Brother Lang." β
An Fu took a deep breath and regained his spirits, but he still looked cautious, holding a peachwood sword in one hand and a soul bell in the other, and followed Shen Lang step by step.
Looking at An Fu like this, Shen Lang kicked An Fu's ass angrily.
An Fu himself felt a little too timid, smiled at Shen Langhan, and the two set off again.
Along the way, I could occasionally see ghosts floating by, but I felt that the guys in the hands of the two were not easy to mess with, so I didn't dare to attack.
For this kind of little ghost, Shen Lang doesn't bother to catch it, since he wants to catch it, he must also catch one with cultivation value, otherwise even if he catches it, it will just be a burden, and he can't increase his strength.
After continuing to turn around for a long time, he didn't find a ghost that Shen Lang was satisfied with, Shen Lang couldn't help but be a little disappointed, could it be that it was so difficult to even meet a ghost with potential in such a big forest.
An Fu next to him followed Shen Lang for a long time, and said boldly: "Didn't they all say when I was a child that this ghost likes places with heavy yin qi? β
Anfu's words woke Shen Lang up, it was really a word to wake up the person in the dream, the ghost likes the place where the yin is heavy, why didn't he think for a while, Shen Lang patted Anfu on the shoulder.
"But where can you find a place with a heavy yin qi in such a big forest?" An Fu beat the two back to their original form in the next sentence.
Shen Lang frowned and thought for a moment, "Yes, since you want to find a place, it is better to create a place with heavy yin qi and let the ghosts send them to the door by themselves." β
An Fu looked puzzled and asked, "Then how do you create a place with heavy yin qi?"
"Yes, our cultivation can just attract the surrounding aura, and when the time comes, the yin qi will also gather, and the ghosts will naturally appear." Shen Lang explained to An Fu.
"I'll start absorbing aura later, I can't be distracted by then, if there is a ghost, you have to remember to protect the Dharma for me, my brother's life will be in your hands." β
An Fu listened to Shen Lang's words, nodded seriously, and observed the surrounding environment with a vigilant face, and the peach wood sword and soul bell in his hand were also held tighter.
Looking at An Fu, who had a strict face and protected the Dharma, Shen Lang was also amused by An Fu's appearance, but he didn't disturb An Fu's enthusiasm.
Shen Lang didn't hesitate, and directly began to absorb the aura, but Shen Lang also paid attention, and was not completely immersed in it, the so-called knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart, was a test of the friendship between Anfu and Shen Lang.
Soon Shen Lang absorbed a huge amount of aura, and a large amount of Xuanyin Qi gathered around him, which was the favorite of ghosts.
Behind the trees around the two of them, there were also looming ghosts drifting by, and the number of ghosts gradually began to increase.
But these ghosts all froze, looking at the two people in the yin qi, and hesitated for a moment whether to rush up to absorb these yin qi.
Before coming in, Yang Ming had said that the level of ghosts in this Hundred Ghost Forest was equivalent to that of a disciple in the Qi Induction Period.
And once there is a breakthrough, the ghost will be taken to another place, so Shen Lang is not very worried about encountering a powerful ghost before he dares to do so.
Yang Ming also said that although this Hundred Ghost Forest is for junior disciples, there are some superb ghosts and ghosts, but whether it can be recovered depends on the luck in it.
Shen Lang also had the idea of catching a superb ghost, so he and Xiaopang walked to the depths of the dense forest for the first time.
The time of a stick of incense passed, and more ghosts gathered around, and Anfu saw so many ghosts wandering around, and he was a little scared in his heart, so he wanted to leave this place quickly.
But Shen Lang is still attracting ghosts in the same place, An Fu has already identified Shen Lang as a friend in his heart, and he will never leave his friend alone, although An Fu is afraid in his heart, he still holds the magic weapon in his hand to guard Shen Lang.
Shen Lang felt that the ghosts around him were slowly increasing, but he didn't have the best ones he hoped for, so he waited again, and for the little fat who had been guarding him beside him, Shen Lang also had a choice in his heart.
