"Scoundrel, I told you to find a Taoist who can exorcise ghosts, why did you bring me a half-grown kid!"
Lord Hou, the master of the Hou residence, saw the servant who had just run out bring back a half-grown child and immediately flew into a rage. After a night of terror, the master was eagerly awaiting the servant's quick return with a Taoist.
Seeing his master's anger, the servant felt wronged and said, "Master, as soon as I left the town, I met this person. He claimed to be a Taoist with great magical powers, so I brought him back to give him a try."
"Haha, Lord, don't be angry. The sea cannot be measured with a bushel, and a person cannot be judged by their appearance!"
Zhu Ganglie laughed heartily, flicked his wrist, and the white jade-like Bone Locking Yin Tower emitted a milky white glow. Two beams of white light captured the stone lions outside the Hou residence and drew them into the tower.
Seeing this, the old master was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed in apology, and ordered a grand banquet to be set up.
"Lord, you need not worry. Find a quiet place, and I will perform the ritual there. By nightfall, I will capture the hidden evil spirit."
After the banquet, Zhu Ganglie smiled lightly and gave instructions to the old master. The entire Hou residence quickly sprang into action.
When night fell, and the entire Hou residence was on edge, a huge evil spirit roared out, baring its fangs and claws, terrifying everyone to the point of trembling and screaming.
"Fiend, how dare you be so rampant!"
At that moment, Zhu Ganglie roared, and the Bone Locking Yin Tower flew out, vibrating slightly in the air, transforming into a massive tower that floated above, emitting white light to envelop the evil spirit and draw it into the tower.
Seeing the floating giant tower capture the evil spirit, everyone was overjoyed and began to worship Zhu Ganglie's room.
"Lord Hou, I have eliminated the evil spirit, but I have expended a lot of energy and need to rest here for a while. Please do not disturb me."
After this performance, Zhu Ganglie chuckled and deliberately feigned weakness.
However, his words brought joy to the entire Hou residence, as no one wanted the evil spirit to return. With a Taoist staying there, everyone felt much safer.
At this point, Zhu Ganglie no longer paid attention to anything else and began to refine the black dragon inside the tower.
"Little dragon offended the fairy of the Illusory Wave Pool and was already doomed, so I dare not ask the immortal to spare me. However, I have practiced for hundreds of years, and I beg the immortal not to erase my consciousness or refine me into a magical tool."
While being refined, the black dragon endured immense pain and pleaded bitterly.
"Hehe, the two from the Illusory Wave Pool said you are the descendant of the ancient giant beast Xuanming. If refined into a magical tool, your power would greatly increase."
Zhu Ganglie chuckled, deliberately teasing the black dragon to extract information.
Hearing this, the black dragon's face turned sorrowful, and its massive head bowed repeatedly as it cried out, "My bloodline is extremely thin. Refining me into a magical tool would have little effect. It would be better to leave me and let me purify my bloodline, perhaps restoring some of the ancient Xuanming dragon's power. Moreover, the success rate of integrating a living being into a magical tool is extremely low, with only one in a hundred surviving. If I fail, my soul will dissipate, and my spirit will collapse, even damaging the magical tool. Even if I succeed, my consciousness will be damaged and become chaotic. Therefore, I beg the immortal to spare me, and I will serve you sincerely."
Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie pondered. It seemed that confining a living being in a magical tool had many drawbacks. It was better to focus on refining the magical tool.
"Black dragon, I will borrow your flesh and blood without damaging your soul. Don't argue!"
Zhu Ganglie coldly shouted, no longer tolerating the black dragon's chatter. Although he had a kind heart, he was not a compassionate person.
He then shook the Bone Locking Yin Tower, and a circle of white light drew the black dragon's soul out of its body.
"Hehe, what good flesh and blood, perfect for refining the Supreme Right Spirit Summoning Talisman."
The black dragon's scales and flesh contained immense power and Yin energy, making it suitable for this cultivation technique. Zhu Ganglie focused his mind, flew out seven spiritual energies, and began to inscribe talismans on the black dragon's body. He also wielded the Primordial Yang Ruler, and seven Lotus Fire Flowers transformed into a great fire, enveloping the black dragon's flesh and scales, purifying the impurities and refining the essence.
The seven spiritual energies rapidly inscribed the talismans in the fire.
"Buzz!"
With a sound, the entire black dragon's body transformed into a massive black talisman, two meters tall, floating before him. The countless golden talismans on it shone brightly.
These golden talismans merged and formed a large, powerful talisman.
After refining the talisman, Zhu Ganglie began to refine talisman seeds on it to enhance its power.
After three days and nights, Zhu Ganglie had refined nine talisman seeds on the talisman, arranged in the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, slowly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
"Combine!"
Zhu Ganglie shouted, pushed the talisman into the Bone Locking Yin Tower, and it instantly merged with the tower, fusing rapidly.
The white walls inside the Bone Locking Yin Tower were covered with countless golden talismans, forming the Supreme Right Spirit Summoning Talisman.
The Bone Locking Yin Tower also trembled violently, and a layer of faint golden light appeared in the white glow, extremely dazzling.
"Roar!"
At that moment, a talisman on the wall merged with the black dragon's soul, directly refining it into a talisman.
"Haha, good, good, such a wondrous transformation. Although it has become a restriction, this Bone Locking Yin Tower has greatly changed. From now on, I will call it the Spirit Sealing Tower."
Zhu Ganglie held the new Spirit Sealing Tower, laughed heartily, and placed the newly refined black dragon talisman on his body.
"Roar!"
With a dragon's roar, Zhu Ganglie transformed into a massive black dragon.
After removing the black dragon talisman, Zhu Ganglie's figure entered the Spirit Sealing Tower. With a thought, the entire tower transformed into a massive demon god surrounded by golden-white light.
Zhu Ganglie felt an infinite power, capable of destroying a small mountain with a single punch.
"Transform!"
Zhu Ganglie entered the Bone Locking Yin Tower, shouted, and the entire tower transformed into a massive demon god with golden-white light.
"Such a wondrous transformation. The Spirit Sealing Tower can transform into a massive demon god. I believe that the disciples of the Hundred Demons Mountain can also transform their refined magical tools into bone demon gods when they reach the peak of their cultivation."
Zhu Ganglie pondered, deducing the Bone Cult of the Hundred Demons Mountain to a high degree of accuracy.
In fact, when the disciples of the Hundred Demons Mountain reached the Unity Realm, they would incorporate a refined magical tool into their soul, merging it with the Unity Talisman seed to form a bone demon god.
This bone demon god was the fundamental power of the Hundred Demons Mountain disciples and the foundation for advancing to the Golden Core Realm.
However, in the cultivation techniques Zhu Ganglie obtained, although there were techniques for the Unity Realm, this particular aspect was only cultivated at the peak of the Unity Realm, so it was not recorded.
The Bone Locking Yin Tower, Bone Heart Locking Hammer, and Bone Relic that the disciples of the Hundred Demons Mountain refined could also form a massive demon god, but this was only achieved after reaching the Golden Core Realm and cultivating the Dharmic Body.
Only the founder of the Bone Cult, Gu Chen, had reached this level, and even he had not fully succeeded.
Now, Zhu Ganglie had accidentally refined the Bone Locking Yin Tower into this treasure, transforming it into the so-called Spirit Sealing Tower, making it almost unrecognizable as a magical tool of the Hundred Demons Mountain.
