Chapter 111: Soul Sacrifice and Soul Refining
Cheng Wai responded without hesitation, and led the way with brisk steps.
Half an hour later, the two of them hid in a dark shadow, looking at a tall building in the distance.
This time, the target is the Chamber of Commerce that ranks eighth among the nine major chambers of commerce, and behind it is a sectarian force called Black Cliff.
Zhu Jiu rushed over to find an opportunity to kill a disciple sent by Black Cliff to participate in the Haichao Grand Ceremony, and according to the information, the target was a woman in her second year.
This woman should be in the tall building in the distance at this time, Zhu Jiu carefully looked at the surrounding terrain and buildings, and whispered to Cheng Qi:
"There are many buildings around here, and there are a lot of people in the tall building where the target is located, so the success rate of killing her is too low, and it is not conducive to hiding her identity. ”
The two then left silently, looking for the next remaining target.
The power of the chamber of commerce to which the latter target belongs is not controlled by humans, but is a racial chamber of commerce called the Nightland Clan, which ranks ninth among the nine chambers of commerce.
The creatures of this race are slightly taller than humans, generally more than two meters, and they are all miserable green, with a thick tail on their backs, and a pair of oily green eyes will glow with a chill wherever they look, and they look more like ghosts than living creatures.
The creatures of the Night Earth Clan were extremely cruel and easy to kill, and living in a very deserted house in the city provided Zhu Jiu with very good hunting conditions.
Zhu Jiu and the two people rushed for two hours to come to the mansion located in a corner of the city, and the creatures of the Earth Clan were killing some enslaved creatures in the house for fun.
Zhu Jiu carefully surveyed the terrain, and checked the sea spirit map, and determined that he could start, and immediately broke in, cursing it with the power of thunder, although there were some surprises during the battle, it was smooth in the end.
After that, Zhu Jiu and the two quietly returned to the square tower of the Yuandi Chamber of Commerce.
On the second day, all the cultivators in the city obviously felt that the atmosphere in the city was very tense, and last night the young masters of the two major chambers of commerce were cursed one after another, and there was no trace of their corpses.
The chambers of commerce in the city have always been competitors, guarding against each other, and everyone is even more vigilant at this time.
At this time, Zhu Jiu stayed in the retreat room of the square tower and practiced quietly, and never went out again.
In the evening of this day, Zhu Jiu opened his eyes from his cultivation, groaned slightly, and suddenly snorted softly, and the glow of the magic robe on his body flashed, and three souls detained in it appeared in front of him one after another.
These three souls were the first woman of the Cold Moon Palace to be killed by the ghost python spell, the core disciple of the Great Sun Heavenly City who had been killed the night before, and the last male soul of the Night Earth Clan.
Because they were all powerful cultivators of the fourth order during their lifetimes, their soul forms still maintained almost the same form as they were before their deaths, only they became transparent and weightless, a little illusory, and their mana had also been lost with their physical bodies, and there was no trace left.
These three soul consciousness were not lost, and after they came out, they all looked at Zhu Jiu with resentment on their faces.
Zhu Jiu smiled freely, not caring at all, he still remembered that when he first saw Yan Yasha, the old guy had summoned two humanoid imps to help him move the chair.
At that time, Zhu Jiu was still a candidate disciple who was preparing to participate in the selection of the sect, and he did not have the slightest mana, and those two little ghosts were two fierce creatures at the level of the evil ghost lord, that is, fifth-order ghost things.
After Zhu Jiu practiced, he once thought that it was not an unattainable distance to have a fifth-order humanoid imp under his seat, but it was not until his mana deepened that he realized that the two imps of Yan Yasha were not the demon corpses under his seat, but the same as the ghosts that Zhu Jiu was detained in the robe at this time, they were stripped of the soul of a hostile cultivator and forcibly refined, which was a great power for refining the ghost and serving the soul.
If Zhu Jiu hadn't accidentally obtained the curse power of the ghost python, his current mana would not be able to strip out the soul of any cultivator at all.
Summoning these three souls, Zhu Jiu wanted to try to use secret techniques to refine these three soul ghosts and magic robes once, so that the robe had the main ghost and further increased its power.
After that, he took out the nine-hole ghost eating furnace and forcibly put the three souls into the ghost furnace together.
More than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Cheng Qi came in and bowed down and said:
"Everything you have commanded is ready. ”
Zhu Jiu nodded slightly, and Cheng Qi began to move in many materials from the outside one after another, all of which were needed to refine ghost objects through the channels of the Chamber of Commerce and inventory.
These include the Yin Tree that binds ghosts, the Ghost Calling Stone that pulls and gathers ghosts, the silk threads made by ghost eaters and spiders that will be smelted together with ghost robes, and there are also many firewood to fuel the ghost furnace.
The firewood used to fuel the haunt's furnace was specially prepared, and it looked like some kind of green wooden bar less than the size of a palm.
In fact, the production process is extremely cumbersome, and it needs to be refined with the body of a living creature with mana after death.
First, the corpses of these creatures were refined to the size of a palm with a special technique, and at this time, the appearance could no longer be seen to be refined by a corpse, and it was presented in the shape of a green strip.
After that, it is necessary to add many auxiliary materials to the alchemy, and finally use the secret method to practice for 7749 days before it can be successful.
The failure rate in this refining process is also extremely high, no less than refining a furnace of precious elixir.
This kind of firewood after being baked is called corpse pill yin firewood, which is specially used as a combustion material when refining the ghost and yin spirit, in fact, it is the same as the yin qi burned by Zhu Jiu's last sacrifice to the ghost snake, and it can play a role in increasing the ferocity and success rate of the sacrificed thing.
Zhu Jiu carefully examined the materials to be used in these sacrifices, and the most precious of them was a strange substance called the Mighty Bead.
The conditions for the formation of this thing are even more harsh, and after the death of the clam essence with a climate of more than thousands of years, its corpse falls in the land of extreme yin and brews for more than a thousand years, so that it can nourish the pearls that already exist in its body into powerful beads.
This bead has the magical effect of increasing the potential of ghosts, as well as fusing and refining yin power, and it is an extremely rare ghost treasure material!
After Zhu Jiu listed the sacrificial refining materials he needed, he didn't have much hope of getting this thing, and he didn't expect to really collect one, which made Zhu Jiuda very happy, and he was a little more sure of the next furnace refining.
These materials were personally ordered and prepared by Gong Changlong, which can be regarded as a thank you to Zhu Jiu for agreeing to participate in the Haichao Ceremony this time.
Zhu Jiu gathered these things around him, waved his hand to let Cheng Qi go out, and then first processed various materials, such as precious Li Ling beads that were smelted into black powder and collected in a small porcelain bottle.
When everything was ready, Zhu Jiu drove the ghost eater stove to spin and dwell, quickly becoming larger, and growing to adult height in the blink of an eye.
The bronze furnace emits an eerie and cold glow, and the three bronze humanoid ghosts acting as furnace feet emit a blue light from their eyes, looking evil and resentful.
The wall of the furnace slowly became transparent, just like when Zhu Jiu first sacrificed the ghost snake to transform into a shape, clearly revealing the scene in the belly of the furnace.
At this time, the furnace was slightly dim, and the three souls that were caught in the furnace were imprisoned in the three corners of the furnace by the power of the ghost furnace, and they didn't even have the ability to struggle slightly.
Zhu Jiu began to throw the corpse pill yin wood into the furnace, and then poured the furnace body with mana, and with a loud sound, the dark green yin wood thrown into the furnace burned wildly in the furnace, taking the form of a cold green flame.
Zhu Jiu took a light breath and first drove the male soul of the Night Earth Clan as the first sacrifice target.
The soul of the Nightland was forcibly dragged into the blazing green fire by the ghost furnace and began to burn and smelt.
Zhu Jiu's expression became focused and a little nervous, constantly controlling the furnace fire and adding materials to it one after another, and frequently driving the talisman to form various spell tricks.
Two hours later, the green flame in the furnace gradually weakened, and just when Zhu Jiu thought that he was going to have a robe master ghost, there was a sudden accident, and the green flame in the center of the furnace exploded, and the soul of the Night Earth Clan, which was about to take shape, was also shattered.
The scattered flames splashed on the furnace wall with soul fragments, and the furnace wall was slightly shiny, and the soul fragments scattered on it were actually absorbed into the furnace body, and the three ghost carved furnace feet under the furnace shook slightly, as if they were slightly replenished, conveying a somewhat happy look.
Zhu Jiu was a pity for the shattering of this soul, and he was also a little surprised that the furnace took the initiative to absorb the soul fragments, could it be that this furnace could still devour some energy changes?
