Chapter 36

After running the cultivation technique for a while, Hu Donghan waited until his spiritual energy was fully restored. He then checked his internal condition and felt that his spiritual energy seemed to have increased slightly. The cultivation speed during the operation of the technique had doubled, and now Hu Donghan's talent was not much worse than that of a cultivator with three superior spiritual roots.

After retracting his spiritual energy, Hu Donghan looked at the ghost spirit that was absorbing yin and ghost qi in the solidification land, and sighed softly in his heart:

"Pity, there is still no soul body to command. Now, even if it is just an ordinary ghost, as long as a small amount of ghost soul energy can be mobilized, the method of using these wandering souls would not be so crude. Wandering souls are just shattered, and the yin and ghost qi within them are not refined into their purest form. Absorbing yin and ghost qi in this way will inevitably contain many impurities. In the future, when commanding the ghost spirit, I will have to find an opportunity to strip out these impurities. Otherwise, with these impurities, this ghost spirit can only remain at its current level..."

He got up and moved around, then looked out the window and found that the sky had darkened again without him noticing.

He opened the door and went out, instructing a servant to bring food. After eating, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

Opening the door, he found an enforcement disciple. This enforcement disciple first bowed to Hu Donghan, then handed him a storage bag, saying that Hu Meier had sent it.

Hu Donghan thought for a moment and realized that this storage bag must contain the "Brother Wu."

Taking out the head from the storage bag and looking at it, Hu Donghan finally recognized this "Brother Wu."

This Brother Wu was a young noble from the same city as Hu Donghan and Hu Meier, which explained why he knew so much about the relationship between Hu Donghan and Hu Meier.

In addition to Brother Wu's head, the storage bag also contained a letter from Hu Meier. The letter detailed the process of her investigation into Brother Wu.

After Hu Meier returned to Blood Bone Peak, she directly used her authority to investigate all the Qi Practitioners on Jade Finger Peak and quickly identified this Brother Wu. Then, Hu Meier went to Jade Finger Peak today and to the outer disciples' courtyard, saying she wanted to exchange feelings with the outer disciples of the same batch. She specifically sat next to Brother Wu. Lin Pusong, who had intentions towards Hu Meier, immediately went to accompany her when he heard she was there. As soon as Lin Pusong arrived, Hu Meier pretended to be angry and left. When Lin Pusong followed to ask why, she pretended to be angry and said that the Brother Wu sitting next to her had tried to touch her...

Thus, the fate of Brother Wu was predictable.

Hu Meier had just returned to Blood Bone Peak, and Brother Wu's head was immediately sent over, with the reason being that Brother Wu had suddenly attacked a fellow disciple within the sect and was killed by the enforcement disciples! The true reason behind this, however, was unknown.

At the end of the letter, Hu Meier reminded Hu Donghan to practice diligently and said she would come to see him when she had time.

After reading the letter, Hu Donghan sent the enforcement disciple away and returned to his room. After meditating for a while, he checked the solidification land again, confirmed there were no issues, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Hu Donghan woke up and immediately checked the solidification land. After estimating the amount of ghost and yin qi and the absorption rate of the ghost spirit, Hu Donghan thought to himself: "It seems that the consumption rate of ghost and yin qi is not much different from what I estimated. As long as 180 wandering souls can be supplied every three days, the amount of ghost and yin qi should be sufficient."

"To solidify the ghost spirit, I only need to add wandering souls on schedule. However, the extra time should not be wasted. Although going to hunt ghosts is a good choice, if there is any abnormality in the solidification land, it would be troublesome. I can't leave my room for a month. Therefore, it seems that focusing on cultivation for this month is a good choice."

Hu Donghan thought for a moment and then added: "Of course, the best plan would be to cultivate as many ghost spirits as possible within this month. However, I am only at the first level of Qi Practitioner, and even with two soul lists, I can only suppress two ghost spirits at most. If I directly cultivate two ghost spirits now, the risk is too high. I should wait until the ghost spirit is fully cultivated, then improve my cultivation, and then cultivate the second ghost spirit."

"Moreover, in the early stages, the best cultivation plan is to cultivate the first ghost spirit of each soul list into a ghost spirit. Having two ghost spirits in the early stages not only boosts my own strength but also allows me to exchange the significant benefits brought by the ghost spirits for other necessities..."

"So, for now, I will just focus on getting through this month."

For the next month, Hu Donghan's life became very regular.

Every morning, he would get up and check the yin and ghost qi in the solidification land. If it was low, he would add some wandering souls. Then, he would run the Profound Yin Heart Technique and focus on cultivation. Apart from going to the toilet and fetching food from the servant disciples, Hu Donghan would only chat briefly with Lang Tianya when he came to deliver wandering souls.

Before he knew it, a month had passed.

On this day, Hu Donghan looked at the ghost spirit in the solidification land, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.

After a full month of nurturing, the ghost spirit was no longer the size of a child as it was when it was first formed. Now, the ghost spirit was about the same size as Hu Donghan, with a solid soul body, dense yin qi, and the ability to absorb some ghost and yin qi from the air on its own, without any worry of dissipating.

"Indeed, after a month, the ghost spirit has been fully cultivated! Moreover, this ghost spirit has absorbed enough yin and ghost qi, and its grade seems to have improved. The green color of the ghost spirit's light is much more intense than before." Hu Donghan squinted his eyes, waved his hand, and stored the ghost spirit in the soul list.

"For a whole month, I have only practiced normally, and my strength has improved slightly. However, without sufficient resources, the spirit stones are still useful, and the two small qi-nourishing pills did not have much effect. To reach the second level of Qi Practitioner, I need at least five more months!"

"However, now that the ghost spirit is complete, I should no longer practice like a hermit but should fully utilize the effects of the ghost spirit."

Hu Donghan thought for a moment and decided to go to the External Affairs Hall first. Another month had passed, and he should collect his monthly salary. Of course, as an enforcement disciple, Hu Donghan should also receive a substantial monthly salary on Blood Bone Peak. However, Hu Donghan had no intention of collecting it! Hu Meier would definitely have someone watching his movements! If he dared to collect it, Hu Meier would provide him with all the pills needed to advance from the Qi Practitioner stage to the Foundation Establishment stage in one go!
