The eerie and bizarre ancestral temple, with its doors now shut by Granny Gu, suddenly seed even more sinister.
The temple looked like a giant skull, its surface painted a pale white, with two dark window sockets on the second floor resembling the empty eye sockets of a skull.
Li Muyang stood outside the temple for a long ti when suddenly a chill wind blew from afar, directly into the temple.
Shortly after, a strange and piercing scream could be heard from inside.
The sound was definitely not made by any living creature, and it sent an inexplicable chill through Li Muyang’s body.
After a while, the temple doors opened again. Granny Gu ca out, leading a pale-faced and terrified Xiao Yecao.
The old woman’s face was still smiling kindly as if nothing had happened.
“You rascal, you can take your Xiao Yecao back now,” the old woman said while tossing a dirty object into Li Muyang’s hands.
“By the way, dispose of this filthy thing. Throw it away or burn it, whatever you prefer.”
“If it doesn’t disgust you, you might keep it at ho as a plaything.”
“This thing has been missing for many years, keeping it could serve as a nto.”
The old woman’s smile remained kind.
But when Li Muyang took the dirty object, he was imdiately startled. The thing in his hands was a dirty white cloth doll, fashioned in the style of a heavily made-up female opera singer.
However, her lower half was a skirt that was very long, with two thin and lengthy strips of cloth hanging down, representing her legs.
Her upper body was stitched with seven or eight intersecting strips of cloth, representing arms.
On the ghastly pale head were two overlapping mouths, looking both disturbing and eerie.
The mont he received this bizarre female opera singer doll, a system prompt popped up in Li Muyang’s field of view.
【You have obtained a special item—Remnants of the Flesh and Bone Green Garnt】
【Can be condensed into a special item】
【Would you like to condense it?】
【Yes/No】
The choices that appeared in his vision greatly surprised Li Muyang.
Could this thing really be condensed into an item?
After leaving the ancestral temple with Xiao Yecao, he chose 【Yes】.
Within his field of vision, a pitch-black mist erged, and in the next second, the mist exploded, revealing a woman in green with an ugly, ferocious smile. ℞
Her appearance was identical to the doll held by Li Muyang in the ga.
【Special Item: Flesh and Bone Green Garnt (Obtained)】
【Introduction: An evil object born from ancient tis, possessing strange powers that ordinary people cannot guard against】
【Usage Instructions: Bury the Flesh and Bone Green Garnt underground with the na, birthplace, and gender written on the front (the more complete the information, the more accurate the target capture). Once the target is confird, the Flesh and Bone Green Garnt will appear in the dream and harvest the target’s life】
Li Muyang’s eyes widened as he read the system’s usage instructions.
Isn’t this the legendary thod of killing in people’s dreams?
It’s quite fierce. If anyone beca his eney in the future, he wouldn’t even need to take action himself. He would just need to take out this Flesh and Bone Green Garnt.
Possessing strange powers that ‘ordinary people’ cannot guard against…it’s uncertain whether this thing could deal with cultivators.
Although he was skeptical about the lethality of this item, considering it was provided by the system, Li Muyang conservatively chose to believe in it.
Not all cultivators know how to counteract evil arts.
Compared to other evil arts, the strongest aspect of this Flesh and Bone Green Garnt is that it doesn’t require one’s birth ti and date, nor does it need diums like hair or clothing—just a na is enough to kill.
Strong!
……
On the fields of the Demon Refining Sect, Li Muyang opened his eyes and gently exhaled his breath.
In his arms, there was now a small doll, the very Flesh and Bone Green Garnt from the ga.
However, Li Muyang had no intention of using it right now.
After all, he had no enemies in the Demon Refining Sect.
Carefully hiding the Flesh and Bone Green Garnt, Li Muyang decided to wait for an opportunity to use it in the future.
After securing the Flesh and Bone Green Garnt, Li Muyang returned to the side of the field, picked up a huge water scoop, and began to sprinkle rain.
The spiritual energy-filled mist hovered above the spiritual field, continuously dropping spirit rain to nourish the spirit rice.
Although Li Muyang was sowhat slack as the Spiritual Planter, the seeds in the spiritual field still began to sprout after several days of cloud seeding.
The future growth of these spirit rice plants probably wouldn’t be great.
But Li Muyang didn’t care.
Living alone on this secluded mountainside, far from others, he found much tranquility.
At the very least, he didn’t have to worry about soone stealing the high-grade spiritual rice from his cabinet while he was out.
—Because of the fear of theft, Li Muyang didn’t even dare to sell the trash quality spiritual rice in his rice jar for money.
He kept the trash quality spiritual rice in the jar as a decoy in plain sight.
The jar that continuously produced high-grade spiritual rice was pressed down daily by Li Muyang with a pickle jar, looking inconspicuous.
With the support of high-grade spiritual rice, Li Muyang’s cultivation steadily improved.
The experience bar in the upper right corner of his field of vision increased by about ten percent every day.
Finally, on the third day after obtaining the Flesh and Bone Green Garnt, Li Muyang made another breakthrough.
As the spiritual energy vortex in his dantian qi sea violently dispersed and flowed into his limbs and body, it completely rged with him, marking the successful completion of this stage of Li Muyang’s cultivation.
A tiny spiritual energy vortex reappeared inside his dantian. When this vortex grows and disperses into his body again, it will signify Li Muyang’s entrance into the next minor realm.
The cultivation of the Qi Refining period is about continuously nurturing the spiritual energy vortex within the body, integrating the spiritual energy with the flesh.
After strengthening the physical body nine tis and entering the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, one can establish their foundation.
Now, Li Muyang had reached the Fourth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
The nourishnt from the Endless Spirit Rice Jar allowed him, an Outer Sect Servant Disciple, to cultivate at a speed that only those high-ranking direct disciples could achieve.
Sitting on the hard wooden bed, Li Muyang felt the enhanced strength in his body and clenched his fist tightly.
He was one step closer to Foundation Establishnt!
He flipped off the bed, preparing to wash his feet before going to sleep.
But under the pitch-black night sky, a lantern’s light appeared on the secluded mountainside, far from the crowds.
Soone was carrying a lantern, walking the mountain path at a ti when most people were ready to sleep, and coming into Li Muyang’s view.
Li Muyang was sowhat surprised.
“Guan Xiaoshun?”
What is this kid doing here so late at night?
Although they had a decent relationship, they were not particularly close friends.
Yet here was Guan Xiaoshun, carrying a lantern for a midnight visit.
Looking at the young man who had co from afar, Li Muyang was puzzled: “Xiaoshun, is there sothing you need?”
The young Guan Xiaoshun scratched his head and said, “Brother Li, the sect is going to open the mountain gate tomorrow.”
“I was afraid you wouldn’t know since you live so far away and no one would have told you, so I ca to let you know.”
“The mountain gate only opens once a year, and when it does, new disciples will be admitted into the sect, and we the older disciples can also go down the mountain into the city to set up stalls and sell things. It’s an opportunity to make so money.”
“Brother Li, are you going to join us tomorrow?”
