Chapter 304: Three More Ghosts
"Master, I have good news to report." The woman in red suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter?" Xu Changshou raised his eyes slightly.
Hong Yi smiled and said, "One of my servants has broken through the ghost swelling realm again."
"Oh?"
Xu Changshou smiled when he heard this.
Although he has an army of 150,000 wandering souls, they are all wandering souls and have no combat power at all. They are basically useless except for scaring people at night.
The ghost swell is different. It has a certain combat capability and can barely move during the day, making it a good opponent.
Although Ghost Swelling is no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one can release Ghost Swelling to interfere with the opponent when fighting with him.
For example, this time, if Wang Zhuxian was determined to escape, Xiao Jin might not be able to catch up with him. However, if the five ghost immortals cooperated with Xiao Jin to fight, Xiao Jin could eliminate the opponent at the lowest cost.
For example, if there are two opponents of similar strength, and one of them has Ghost Swelling, and releases Ghost Swelling to interfere with the opponent during the fight, then the opponent will definitely lose.
Therefore, every additional ghost swelling is an enhancement to Xu Changshou's foundation.
"Whoever breaks through the ghost expansion, let him come out and see me."
"Come out quickly and pay your respects to His Majesty."
The man in red waved his hand, and three figures flew out from the second floor of the Soul Tower.
An old man with white hair.
A cold and beautiful lady.
A middle-aged man with a stern expression.
Seeing the white-haired old man and his cold and beautiful wife, Xu Changshou was stunned on the spot.
"Bai Nianxian pays homage to His Majesty."
"Luan Feng greets His Majesty."
"Zhongli Mo pays homage to His Majesty."
"Not bad!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly. He didn't expect that three people had broken through the ghost expansion this time, and he didn't expect that two of them were acquaintances.
Bai Nianxian and Luan Feng were the ones who went with Xu Changshou to take on the mission from Taishu's family.
At that time, Bai Nianxian was in a group of three people. Unfortunately, one of them, Feng Lingjun, was killed by a corpse. His soul escaped at night and disappeared. Xu Changshou did not see Feng Lingjun's soul.
In the final battle, Bai Nianxian and Luan Feng were killed by Tai Shuquan and the corpse, and their souls were taken in by Xu Changshou.
Tai Shuquan was killed by Xu Changshou's thunderstorm talisman, and his soul was destroyed.
Only the souls of Bai Nianxian and Luan Feng survived, while Feng Lingjun's soul disappeared. If there had not been any fortuitous encounter, Feng Lingjun would most likely have died.
Xu Changshou looked at Bai Nianxian and Luan Feng, and bowed slightly, saying, "My two fellow Taoists, I am honored."
"Thank you for taking me in, Your Majesty."
When they saw Xu Changshou again, Bai Nianxian and Luanfeng's eyes were filled with gratitude.
It is true that Xu Changshou was partly responsible for their deaths.
But at that time, they were in a game, and if they had the advantage, it would be Xu Changshou who would die.
There is no contradiction, hatred or entanglement between them, it is just a conflict of personal interests.
Xu Changshou won that game. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to complain about.
However, Xu Changshou took them in at the beginning, so that they would not become lonely ghosts and wander in the wilderness. Instead, they cultivated themselves into ghosts. This was a great blessing to them.
Of course they should be grateful to Xu Changshou.
However, from being a human to being a ghost, there are many more emotions and sighs.
"The paths to becoming immortals for both of you have been cut off, so please don't be obsessed with it. In the future, follow Hongyi's path to practice. Although it's not the path to becoming an immortal, it's also a path to success. The path of ghosts also has a glimmer of hope for immortality." Xu Changshou smiled and comforted them.
Bai Nianxian cupped his hands and said, "It is a great blessing for the two of us to be able to survive. We dare not covet the opportunity of becoming an immortal in this life."
A complex expression flashed across Luan Feng's face, and he said respectfully, "Senior Brother Bai and I will be at Your Majesty's disposal from now on. We will obey His Majesty's orders without hesitation."
"You two fellow Daoists are so polite."
Xu Changshou nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the stern middle-aged man: "This..."
The red-clothed woman at the side hurriedly said respectfully, "Master, Zhongli Mo is an old subordinate of mine. He was one of the first to follow me in the Burial Immortal Abyss."
"very good."
Xu Changshou nodded slightly. It turned out to be his old subordinate in red.
It is indeed not easy to cultivate from a wandering soul to a ghost. However, since he is an old subordinate of Hongyi, he must be treated preferentially in terms of resources.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve the state of ghost swelling so quickly.
In addition, Bai Nianxian and others were able to cultivate to the level of ghost swelling so quickly thanks to the Soul Tower.
The Soul Tower can absorb the mental power of all living beings. The mental power of all living beings is a great tonic for ghost cultivators and can accelerate their cultivation speed.
Of course, the main reason why Bai Nianxian and Luan Feng were able to cultivate to become ghosts was because they were once foundation-building cultivators. Their soul bodies themselves were definitely different from ordinary wandering souls.
Counting the time, it has been ten years since Xu Changshou destroyed Taishu's family. In other words, Bai Nianxian and Luan Feng only took ten years in the Soul Tower to cultivate to the Ghost Swelling Realm.
The cultivation speed of ghost cultivators is slow to begin with. Many wandering souls need hundreds of years to cultivate into ghost cultivators. This cultivation speed is extremely terrifying, not to mention among ghost cultivators, even among human cultivators.
Wang Zhuxian and Zhang Beidou are also foundation-building cultivators. Logically speaking, they can also become ghost cultivators in ten years.
Then, Xu Changshou seemed to have found a way to quickly cultivate ghost swelling, that is, to collect the soul bodies of foundation-building cultivators, and then cultivate the soul bodies of foundation-building cultivators into ghost swelling.
In this way, he can cultivate a lot of ghosts at the fastest speed.
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou was in a good mood.
Just imagine what the scene would be like when his army of ghosts grows to one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand.
"Red, let them go."
"Yes!"
Xu Changshou waved his hand, and the eight ghosts retreated, hiding in various places in the fog array.
When one's cultivation reaches the level of ghost swelling, one can withstand the scorching sun. However, one's strength will be greatly reduced under the scorching sun, which is very uncomfortable.
In the fog array, the fog blocks the sun, and Guizhang can move freely without any discomfort, and his strength will not be compromised.
After the ghosts left, Xu Changshou's mind turned to the two corpses.
At this time, Xiao Jin was rummaging through their storage bags.
Seeing Xu Changshou coming over, he handed a formation plate and two storage bags to Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou took a look at the formation plate and put it away directly. He was not very interested in it.
This is just an ordinary second-grade array-breaking plate. Its ability to break arrays is not as good as Bai Nianxian's Five Elements Polonium-Hollowing Chisel.
However, Bai Nianxian's Five Elements Polonium Chisel was not as effective as Xu Changshou's own second-grade formation-breaking talisman in breaking the formation.
Therefore, Xu Changshou would certainly not be interested in an ordinary formation-breaking plate.
Of course, if this thing was in the hands of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, it would definitely be regarded as a treasure.
After opening the two people's storage bags, Xu Changshou couldn't help but be shocked. The spirit stones they had combined were less than a hundred yuan.
This guy is too poor.
He had never seen such a poor foundation-building cultivator.
Apart from that, each person had a flying sword and a few magical weapons, and there was nothing valuable.
Xu Changshou shook his head slightly. He hadn't had high expectations for the two men's storage bags. If they had money, they wouldn't be used as cannon fodder to die.
"Xiao Jin, let's go and bury them."
Xu Changshou asked Xiao Jin to carry the bodies of the two and walk out of the formation.
Wang Zhuxian and Zhang Beidou are now his subordinates. No matter what, they cannot be abandoned in the wilderness.
