Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 40: Sister Sadako

Su Fan took out this "Ghost Dao True Solution" and originally just wanted to casually flip through it.

Who would have thought that with just one look, it was already nighttime.

Actually, Su Fan has always been quite repulsed by the things of the demonic sect.

He believed that Evil Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators were no different.

It wasn't until he read this "Ghost Dao True Solution" that he understood that there was indeed a fundamental difference between Demonic Cultivators and Evil Cultivators.

The techniques of the demonic sect, just like those of the immortal sect, were passed down from generation to generation as orthodox methods.

Even the immortal sect acknowledged this point, that the immortal and demonic paths were just different paths.

The immortal and demonic paths were incompatible, but it was ultimately a struggle for interests.

Don't be fooled by the conflicts between the immortal and demonic paths, the demonic sect would hire Evil Cultivators to cause havoc within the influence of the immortal sect.

But the attitudes of the immortal and demonic paths towards Evil Cultivators were actually the same.

Although demonic cultivators were fierce and brutal, they wouldn't easily harm ordinary mortals, after all, mortals were the foundation of both the immortal and demonic paths.

Evil Cultivators didn't care about that and often caused trouble in the mortal realms.

So whether it was the immortal sect or the demonic sect, they would severely crack down on the organizations of Evil Cultivators within their own spheres of influence.

The spiritual energy in this cultivation world also had different categories.

Like the basic five elements spiritual energy: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as wind, thunder, ice, yin, and other variant spiritual energies.

Just like sword cultivators, their spiritual roots were mostly of the metal element.

Demonic Cultivators who practiced Ghost Dao techniques also required aptitude, and the best aptitude was the Extreme Yin Physique.

The Extreme Yin Physique was the Heavenly Spirit Root among Ghost Dao cultivators.

Cultivating Yin-based techniques was fast, and they were better at controlling Yin spirits and ghosts, as well as using more powerful Yin-based spells and secrets.

Of course, cultivators with ordinary spiritual roots could also cultivate Ghost Dao.

According to the "Ghost Dao True Solution," just like cultivators, ghosts also had different levels.

They were respectively Yin Spirits, Wraiths, Vengeful Ghosts, Ghost Soldiers, Ghost Generals, and Ghost Kings.

Yin Spirits were souls that still lingered in the mortal realm after death due to attachments or because of feng shui and geography.

After being captured and tamed by ghost cultivators, they would be refined and become Wraiths, Vengeful Ghosts, and Ghost Soldiers, corresponding to the third stage of Qi Refining.

Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings corresponded to the Foundation Building Stage and Gold Core Stage respectively. As for the higher levels, this book did not introduce them.

The "Ghost Dao True Solution" was considered the introductory inheritance of the Ghost King Sect, the cultivation technique of Qi Refining Stage Ghost Dao cultivators.

The book recorded a ghost cultivation technique called the "Netherworld Mantra," as well as a dozen or so Ghost Dao spells at the Qi Refining Stage.

Never mind the cultivation technique, but the Ghost Dao spells were worth studying.

Su Fan thought it would be nice to raise a few ghosts.

They could be used for reconnaissance and vigilance in normal times, and during battles, he could use the "Evil Ghost Banner" to attack sneakily.

Su Fan was very satisfied with the power of the "Evil Ghost Banner." The scene in the basement just now still gave him the creeps when he thought about it.

He didn't understand anything and just released a bunch of evil spirits.

He almost scared himself to death.

Especially that female ghost in the black banner, judging from her aura, she should have reached the level of a Ghost Soldier.

If she could be cultivated well, she would definitely be a good helper.

Su Fan decided to call her Sister Sadako.

As for the remaining Wraiths and Vengeful Ghosts, they could be used as cannon fodder in the future.

The two most basic introductory spells in the "Ghost Dao True Solution" were the "Ghost Controlling Technique" and the "Netherworld Ghost Contract."

As the name suggests, the "Ghost Controlling Technique" is a spell for controlling Yin creatures.

The "Netherworld Ghost Contract" is used to imprint spells on ghosts that have been captured and refined, making them the cultivator's ghost slaves.

Once he mastered the "Ghost Controlling Technique," Su Fan could freely summon Wraiths and Vengeful Ghosts from the "Evil Ghost Banner."

As for the "Netherworld Ghost Contract," he didn't need to say anything more, he would directly sign it with Zhen Jie.

Ghosts who had signed the ghost contract could communicate with cultivators using their divine sense, just thinking about it was exciting.

The "Ghost Controlling Technique" was relatively simple, and it was quick to learn.

The "Netherworld Ghost Contract" was much more difficult, and it took quite a while before he finally mastered it.

After learning the two spells, Su Fan returned to the basement excitedly and took out the "Evil Ghost Banner."

He used the Ghost Controlling Technique, and a black smoke surged out of the black banner, instantly transforming into a ghostly figure, baring its fangs and claws in front of Su Fan.

Looking at the eager Wraith in front of him, he didn't hold back either.

The Dao seed inside his body exploded, and a purple electric current burst out from his right hand, frightening the ghost.

With a "swoosh," the ghost immediately hid at the edge of the basement, squatting in the corner and drawing circles.

"You dare to bare your teeth at me?"

He then used the "Ghost Controlling Technique" to summon the ghost in front of him and carefully examined it.

With a pale face and a protruding tongue, the ghost had a pair of eyeless eyes, looking pitifully at Su Fan.

The appearance is a bit off, too ugly.

Su Fan pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, extending his left hand towards the ghost.

The ghost crossed its arms and curled up, as if shouting, "Don't come near me!"

Pinching his fingers and forming a seal with his left hand, Su Fan muttered to himself and patted the top of the ghost's head.

With a "buzz."

Su Fan felt as if something had been added to his mind, followed by a wave of flattering thoughts.

"What kind of work do you do..."

"Yaya..."

"You're so ugly, can't you change your appearance..."

"Yaya..."

"Why don't you speak..."

"Yaya..."

Trying to communicate with this guy is like talking to a wall.

He waved his hand, and the ghost instantly turned into a black smoke, rushing back to the black banner as if granted amnesty.

Su Fan wanted to summon Sister Sadako, but hesitated.

That's a ghost at the level of a ghost soldier. If he really summoned her, he might end up being bitten again.

But when he thought about the Thunder Dao seed inside his body, he felt more confident.

Su Fan pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and a thick black smoke surged out of the giant banner, instantly occupying most of the basement.

A cold and eerie aura filled the surroundings.

The black smoke gradually condensed and manifested into a female figure wearing a white ancient dress.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, a terrifying hiss shook Su Fan's brain.

The female ghost raised her arms and waved her two-foot-long nails, rushing towards him.

A surge of Yin energy rushed in, penetrating deep into his bones, causing his limbs to stiffen. In an instant, his whole body seemed to be frozen.

The Thunder Dao seed inside Su Fan's body exploded.

Countless purple electric currents circulated within his body, instantly driving out the chilling aura.

He gathered the electric currents in his right hand and struck out with a punch.

"Ah..."

A scream of misery echoed in Su Fan's ears as he punched the female ghost, almost dispersing her ghostly figure.

In a flash of lightning, Su Fan's figure instantly appeared beside the female ghost, delivering punches and kicks.

Only a whip and a candle were missing.

He beat the female ghost until she screamed in agony, her ghostly figure trembling as if on the verge of dissipating.

Su Fan felt it was almost enough, so he condensed a seal with his left hand and patted the top of the female ghost's head.

"Boom..."

An instant explosion resounded in his mind, faintly accompanied by a pleading thought.

Su Fan beckoned, and the female ghost's figure instantly floated in front of him, her ghostly figure becoming less substantial.

"If you dare to bare your teeth again, I'll make you disappear..."

The female ghost's figure trembled, and Su Fan heard a mournful thought in his mind.

"Mmm..."

Su Fan suddenly became excited, receiving a response.

"You can't change to a more attractive appearance..."

This time, the female ghost didn't respond, but transformed into black smoke again, then reappeared as the image of a beautiful woman in ancient clothing.

Su Fan looked at her and thought it was good enough. Although she still looked eerie, at least she was pleasing to the eye.

"Mmm... From now on, I'll call you Sadako..."
