Chapter 72

"Medicine Spirit Ghost! Medicine Spirit Ghost!"

Hu Donghan muttered a few words, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Could it be that my second ghost should also be a Medicine Spirit Ghost? Although I now have two Soul Registers and can possess two identical ghosts, if I cultivate another Medicine Spirit Ghost, wouldn't it seem even more peculiar?"

Hu Donghan pondered, then suddenly thought, "No! No! To be honest, in the early stages, my talent is best supported by a Medicine Spirit Ghost. Even if I can cultivate a Spirit Gathering Ghost King to increase the absorption of spiritual energy, it might not be better than a Medicine Spirit Ghost."

"Moreover, even if I cultivate two Medicine Spirit Ghosts, as long as I don't let them appear in the same place at the same time, who would think that I can control two ghosts simultaneously? Even if the two Medicine Spirit Ghosts really end up together, they might not believe that both are Medicine Spirit Ghosts!"

"The form of a Medicine Spirit Ghost is distinguished by the spiritual herb on its head! This time, I'll choose a smaller herb. Even if the two Medicine Spirit Ghosts appear together, no one will think anything of it."

"Also, these two Medicine Spirit Ghosts need to be upgraded. If the Medicine Spirit Ghosts don't upgrade, it will be a problem for my strength. With two Medicine Spirit Ghosts, when upgrading, it won't raise much suspicion..."

After much thought, Hu Donghan finally decided that the second ghost should also be a Medicine Spirit Ghost.

With his mind made up, Hu Donghan glanced at the ordinary ghost in his hand and quickly extracted a soul from it, sending it into the second Soul Register!

As soon as the ordinary ghost entered the Soul Register, Hu Donghan almost immediately sensed a faint connection with it. At this moment, Hu Donghan suddenly remembered that when he was cultivating his first Medicine Spirit Ghost, he used the Ghost Control Technique on it when it was still an ordinary ghost. That was the only ghost he controlled through the Ghost Control Technique!

This Ghost Control Technique indeed had some benefits for Hu Donghan's cultivation.

For example, when Hu Donghan broke through from the first level of Qi Cultivation to the second, and then to the third, he actually borrowed the spiritual energy cultivated by the Medicine Spirit Ghost. This spiritual energy was no different from the spiritual energy he cultivated himself.

Now, Hu Donghan couldn't help but want to try using the Ghost Control Technique on a ghost already in the Soul Register. Would it work?

If it could work...

"According to the research and explanations of the Ghost Control Technique within the Yin Soul Sect, the grade of the target ghost is irrelevant. Generally, cultivators can succeed on their first attempt. However, if they try to control a second ghost, almost everyone fails. This is because different ghosts cannot coexist harmoniously!"

"Coexistence is the biggest problem! In some ways, it's because ghosts are not obedient enough to be used simultaneously by a cultivator."

"Of course, there are some special constitutions that can accommodate multiple ghosts, like the ghost spirit root of the girl."

"Now, this ordinary ghost can already be stored in my Soul Register and is absolutely obedient to my commands, not daring to act rashly! I wonder if, in this situation, my Ghost Control Technique can succeed. If it can, it will greatly benefit my future cultivation!"

"If in the future, I can control a hundred ghosts simultaneously, my strength will increase a hundred times more easily than others..."

Hu Donghan's heart raced as he summoned the ordinary ghost in front of him, made a hand seal, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the ghost. He then shouted:

"Ghost Control Technique, Condense!"

As he spoke, Hu Donghan saw the drop of blood he had dripped onto the ordinary ghost quickly rush into the ghost's spirit light.

A few seconds later, Hu Donghan's blood merged with the ghost's spirit light, and the ghost's body slowly transformed into a human form.

"Is this... a success?" Hu Donghan didn't control the ghost through the Soul Register but tried to control it using the Ghost Control Technique. Indeed, as Hu Donghan gave the command, the ghost followed it.

"Two ghosts? So, I have successfully controlled two ghosts using the Ghost Control Technique."

Hu Donghan sensed his own condition, confirmed there were no issues, and felt much more at ease.

"Using the Ghost Control Technique to control two ghosts simultaneously, I don't know if it's safe. In any case, I need to be more careful in the future. If there's any danger, I'll directly erase the soul in the Soul Register and kill it! In cultivation, safety is the most important!"

Thinking this, Hu Donghan summoned the ordinary ghost again and directly erased its intelligence.

For Hu Donghan, ghosts didn't need intelligence!

"The basic steps for cultivating a second Medicine Spirit Ghost are the same. First, nurture the soul, then change the body, and finally, solidify the form. The step of nurturing the soul is different from solidifying the form. Although nurturing the soul requires yin energy and ghost energy, only by nurturing it with a soul can the wandering soul power in the soul make the soul stronger!"

"Of course, this step is not difficult for me now, but it will take some time."

Hu Donghan touched the soul ring on his hand, extracted a wandering soul, and silently recited the soul nurturing incantation, making the ordinary ghost devour the wandering soul.

Although Hu Donghan was now using the soul nurturing incantation to cultivate the Medicine Spirit Ghost, he wasn't worried about being discovered.

In the Yin Soul Sect, there are many miscellaneous spells, and many of them are similar to the soul nurturing incantation. Even if someone saw him, they would just think he was practicing some obscure spell, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.

After about a quarter of an hour, the first wandering soul was devoured by the ordinary ghost. Hu Donghan then threw the second wandering soul to the ordinary ghost to continue devouring.

Nurturing the soul is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. After feeding the ordinary ghost about a dozen wandering souls, it was already dark.

At this time, Niu Ergen, Liu Yiqing, and Lu Jianwen, along with the people they had chosen, found Hu Donghan.

Among the three, Niu Ergen only found twenty people. Ten of these twenty were the miscellaneous servants who had once stayed on Xiaocui Terrace. The remaining eighty people were found by Liu Yiqing and Lu Jianwen, forty each, making a total of one hundred people.
