First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 178: Taking Stock of the Harvest

The temporary market near the ruins is still prosperous and thriving.

There are many disciples from immortal sects, wandering cultivators, and even some mysterious evil cultivators coming and going.

It can be expected that as long as the Ghost Domain does not hide in the Netherworld, this place will prosper day by day and may even develop into a town similar to Yun Town.

The benefits generated by this Ghost Country ruins are too great!

As the Ghost Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, they will definitely not easily give up this piece of fat.

Even if they cannot turn this ruins into their own secret realm, they will find ways to reap the maximum benefits from it.

Of course, this is not an easy task!

The entrance to the Abyss is too wide and long, and neither the Ghost Corpse Sect nor the Heavenly Sword Sect can drive away other cultivators and monopolize the Ghost Country ruins.

In addition, there are many forbidden areas in the Ghost Country.

There are probably many third-stage late-stage ghost creatures like General Zhang Taian.

When Shen Mo and the others were searching for treasures, they were cautious.

The Ghost Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect want to surpass the swarm of treasure-hunting cultivators and plunder the relics...

At least they need to mobilize a large number of elders in the Spirit Sea Realm, or even the Yuan Dan Ancestors.

With people like Jiang Yingying, Shen Mo roughly knows that the Heavenly Sword Sect seems to have no grand plan for the Ghost Country ruins.

As for the Ghost Corpse Sect, he is not sure!

Anyway, so far, apart from a few low-level disciples, Shen Mo has not seen any mid-stage or higher-level Ghost Corpse Sect cultivators in the ruins.

There may be other plans!

But none of this has anything to do with Shen Mo.

After passing through the temporary market, he bid farewell to Jiang Yingying and the others, and flew towards the direction of the Linqing Sect's mountain gate with Chen Mengze.

The Longque Sword was damaged in the Ghost Gate Secret Realm.

Fortunately, Shen Mo "picked up" a lot of treasures left by cultivators, so he is not lacking low-level flying swords.

He doesn't pick and randomly refines one for use.

He travels on the clouds all the way.

On the return journey, he did not encounter thunderstorms, so it was slightly faster than when he came, taking only seven hours.

As soon as Shen Mo returned to the mountain gate, he went to Jiyun Town to purchase 500 kilograms of second-stage late-stage and peak-level demonic beast flesh, spending hundreds of spirit stones.

Now, he can be considered rich and doesn't care too much about this expenditure.

The little Spirit-Hiding Rat didn't want to leave him even at a critical moment.

It twisted its fat body and took a bite at the Ghost King Tianqi, earning him a precious opportunity to survive, which deserves this reward!

After returning to the cave, Shen Mo roasted dozens of kilograms of meat for the Spirit-Hiding Rat.

"Ying! Ying!"

The recovered Spirit-Hiding Rat happily held the roasted meat and ate it, with oil flowing from its mouth.

It didn't stop until its belly was round and then used its paws to support its belly, holding a large piece of meat in its mouth, and staggered back into the spirit pet bag.

"Buzz!"

The thousand-mile sound transmission talisman on his waist kept trembling.

Shen Mo took it off and saw that it was Lu Ming, an inner disciple, inviting him to participate in a debate exchange meeting, saying that there would be a core disciple present.

"Thank you for the invitation, but recently I have been busy with trivial matters and really don't have the leisure time!"

He politely declined Lu Ming's invitation and roughly skimmed through the previous sound transmissions.

There weren't many one-on-one contacts.

Apart from invitations from inner disciples like Lu Ming to team up for missions or banquets, there was only one to report his safety to Uncle Chen.

He knew that Shen Mo and Chen Mengze had gone to the Ghost Country ruins, and they would send sound transmissions every once in a while.

In addition to showing concern for Shen Mo, they would also inquire about Chen Mengze's situation.

After all, in terms of communication with parents, Chen Mengze is similar to Shen Mo's past life, and he would choose to selectively report good news and not worry about the bad news.

For example, before entering the Ghost Gate, Chen Mengze did not mention it to Uncle Chen.

In addition, Guo Zhao, Senior Brother Guo, occasionally sends messages, most of which are related to Chen Mengze.

Shen Mo feels somewhat helpless about his persistence.

He can only respond casually.

At this moment, he has completely lost confidence in this Senior Brother Guo!

During the time traveling with Chen Mengze, she never mentioned Guo Zhao, so it can be inferred what she truly thinks.

She only hopes that Guo Zhao can break through soon and find his own happiness.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Shen Mo closed his cave and began to digest and sort out his recent gains.

First, the spiritual stones and resources.

This trip to the Ghost Country can be said to have made a fortune.

In addition to relying on the talent of the Spirit Hiding Rat, he found a large and two small windfalls.

The two small windfalls were obtained by looting corpses.

One group of cultivators died at the hands of the Ghost Bride.

The other group was killed by General Zhang Tai'an outside the Ghost Gate.

Among them, the big windfall was naturally obtained by him in the secret realm of the Ghost Gate, sweeping the Treasury of the Garrison.

Shen Mo made a rough estimate.

If there are no other expenses, these three windfalls combined are enough to support his operation of the "Yanwu" for more than a year and a half.

Just from the Garrison Treasury, he obtained more than a hundred medium-grade spiritual stones, tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, and countless other resources.

"Many cultivation techniques have also made good progress!"

"Especially the 'Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body', after investing such a huge amount of soul and ghost spirits, I finally completed the cultivation of the dragon body."

With a thought, the Destiny Panel appeared before his eyes.

[Master: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation Techniques: "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" nearing mastery (8750/9000);

"Primordial Power Technique" reaching the peak (258/8000)]

[Martial Arts: "Supreme Clear Sword Technique" reaching perfection (5820/16000);

"Sword Control Technique" nearing mastery (1855/6000);

"Seven Stars Sword Formation" nearing mastery (3260/6000)]

[Light Body Immortal Technique: "Thunderous Steps" reaching integration (10070/15000);

"Immortal Wind Cloud Body" slightly accomplished (955/1000)]

[Body Refining Immortal Technique: "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" dragon body (100/100)]

"True Immortal Technique of Three Heads and Six Arms" initial understanding (290/3000)]

[Soul Refining Immortal Technique: "Soul Contemplation Scripture" (not yet condensed)]

Unfortunately, the jade slip of the "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" brought by the Spirit Hiding Rat only recorded the cultivation methods of the "elephant body" and "dragon body".

The final layer of the Blood Demon Body was missing.

"Without the follow-up cultivation methods, the 'Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body' cannot be promoted for the time being."

"Fortunately, in the Body Refining Techniques, I have obtained the new 'True Immortal Technique of Three Heads and Six Arms', which does not delay my continued cultivation of Body Refining!"

"At present, the focus of my 'Yanwu' cultivation is on the 'Purple Mansion Heart Sutra' and the 'True Immortal Technique of Three Heads and Six Arms'."

"It won't be long before the 'Purple Mansion Heart Sutra' reaches the level of integration."

"By then, my cultivation will progress faster, and I will strive to advance to the mid-stage of Qi Gathering Realm as soon as possible!"

Shen Mo will not neglect the "True Immortal Technique of Three Heads and Six Arms" either!

This Body Refining Technique is far more powerful and mysterious than any Immortal Technique or Martial Art he is currently cultivating.

In addition to forging an astonishing physique that is "indestructible and unbeatable," it can also transform into three heads and six arms.

Both can greatly enhance his combat power.

In addition, Shen Mo has also figured out an alternative use of this technique through its characteristics.

By using this method to change his own body shape, appearance, and even spiritual aura, he can achieve the magical effect of "transforming into someone else"!
