Mortal: The Number One playboy of the Chaotic Star Sea

Chapter 107 The Mysterious Bone

Inside the superior room of "Listening to the Waves Pavilion", Qingfeng set up two small defensive barriers in addition to the original soundproof barrier.

"Young friend Qingfeng, aren't you being a bit too cautious?"

The ghostly figure of Xuan Gu emerged from the box.

Seeing Qingfeng's careful arrangements, he clicked his tongue.

"Careful? I think it's alright. If you were as cautious as I am, Senior Xuan, you probably wouldn't have been killed by your own beloved disciple, would you?"

"But I'm curious, in your Extreme Yin Island lineage, do all the masters like to refine their disciples into external avatars, and do the disciples like to turn against their masters?"

Qingfeng joked.

"Uh... this is the rule passed down from the master's master's master, but I am different. Back then, I really treated those two rebellious disciples with my whole heart."

With a mysterious form, I appear as a compassionate master.

Qingfeng picked at his ear. After so many years of contact, he knew Xuan Gu better than Xuan Gu himself. He could tell whether the old man's stool was dry or runny just by looking at him.

"Senior Xuan, I don't care about your love-hate relationship with Ji Yin... After all these years, you should be aware of my strength."

As long as you do your job well, I will not only kill Ji Yin and capture his nascent soul to avenge you, but I will also pass on to you all the ghost cultivation techniques that can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm.

You have already practiced part of the techniques, so you should know that what I said is true.

Qingfeng knew that Xuangu was cunning and treacherous. If he wanted Xuangu to work honestly, he had to not only overwhelm him with strength but also offer him "great benefits".

One hand holds a big stick, the other a sweet date.

This principle applies to every world.

"Young friend Qingfeng is willing to help me take revenge and has also passed on to me the supreme ghostly cultivation technique. I, no, I am eternally grateful and am willing to go through fire and water for you, even unto death!"

The illusory ghostly figure of Xuan Gu bowed respectfully, speaking with sincerity.

"Senior Xuan's words are indeed sincere and heartfelt."

Qingfeng didn't reply, but just looked at him with a half-smile.

Don't believe a word this old guy says. It's safer to talk business than about feelings.

"Hehe, young friend Qingfeng, you flatter me. Times have changed. Now you are the one I need to rely on."

Xuan Gu chuckled twice.

Although much of what he said was false, a small part of it was true.

Xuan Gu still vividly remembers that night five years ago.

……

Five years ago—

"Senior Xuan, this puppet was specially made by me. Try to see if you can get in and control it."

Qingfeng pointed to a completely black humanoid puppet and said casually.

Xuan Gu was secretly delighted upon seeing this.

He can finally escape that damn box!

Once inside the puppet, one can move freely.

If we just find an opportunity to break free from the enslavement of Qingfeng, this junior Core Formation cultivator, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

"Young friend Qingfeng, I'll go and try it now."

Suppressing his inner elation, Xuan Gu calmly floated towards the puppet.

However, the moment his soul merged with the puppet, a strange sense of constraint surged from all directions.

It was as if countless invisible threads were tightly connecting his soul to every inch of the puppet's "body".

"this……"

Xuan Gu was startled, but showed no emotion on his face.

"How are you? Are you feeling comfortable?"

Qingfeng asked with a smile.

"Uh...not bad, not bad."

Xuan Gu moved the puppet's arm, but his mind was racing with calculations.

This puppet is so different, but even with his Nascent Soul stage knowledge, he couldn't discern its origin at all.

This junior can actually make puppets?

Xuan Gu sensed his own faint divine soul fire and decided to endure for the time being.

"By the way, Senior Xuan. This puppet is essentially a magical artifact, and I am its master."

In the words of us weapon refiners, I have the highest authority. So... you'd better not have any other ideas.

Otherwise, with a single thought, this puppet will become your cage, or even your coffin.

Qingfeng suddenly spoke, interrupting Xuangu's thoughts.

His smile remained gentle, but his eyes held a deeper meaning.

The Xuan Gu puppet froze.

The exciting chapter "Chapter 107: Memories of Xuan Gu" is now available online. Click to read it now!

At that moment, he felt a long-lost chill.

This junior was able to see through his thoughts?

"Haha, young friend Qingfeng, you jest. What ill intentions could I possibly have?"

Xuan Gu chuckled dryly, but in his heart, he considered Qing Feng's shrewdness to be on the same level as his own...

In the following years, Xuan Gu gradually got used to this "semi-free" state.

Every so often, Qingfeng would release him from the box and discuss various cultivation techniques with him.

"Senior Xuan, regarding this method for condensing the divine soul, I think it can be optimized in this way..."

Qingfeng held a jade slip and enthusiastically explained his new idea.

Xuan Gu initially adopted a perfunctory attitude, but as he listened, his expression gradually became serious.

"Wait, young friend, what is the Soul Core Condensation Method you mentioned here?"

"I have studied the Dao of the Soul for hundreds of years, and I have never had such an understanding before..."

Xuan Gu asked in shock.

"Oh, that? I just made that up."

Qingfeng waved his hand casually.

How could he possibly reveal that his understanding was derived from system deduction?

"My own idea..."

Xuan Gu remained silent.

He had never seen such a brilliant understanding in his thousands of years of life.

He himself was once a genius, but in front of Qingfeng's extraordinary comprehension, he was like a stupid donkey.

What truly convinced Xuan Gu was a certain night a year ago.

"Senior Xuan, I have a cultivation technique that might be suitable for you to practice."

Qingfeng took out a jade slip and handed it to Xuangu.

"What kind of technique?"

Xuan Gu casually accepted it and probed it with his soul power.

The next moment, his ghostly figure trembled violently.

"This...this is..."

Xuan Gu's voice even changed tone.

"The Ghostly Path Classic: Yin Yang Soul Harmony Technique" has extremely strict prerequisites for cultivation, requiring a human and a ghost to cultivate together.

After cultivation, both humans and ghosts will never be reincarnated. However, upon reaching the highest level of mastery, one can advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Qingfeng said calmly.

"Nascent Soul...Nascent Soul realm!"

Xuan Gu was moved at this moment.

The Nascent Soul stage held a fatal attraction for him, and he perfectly met the requirements for this cultivation technique.

"I am already a remnant soul, and thus not subject to reincarnation... but the puppet I've possessed happens to possess human characteristics, which meet the requirements for cultivation!"

Xuan Gu muttered to himself. At this moment, Qing Feng was not a junior who had just formed his core, but rather an old monster who had been reborn through possession!

"Young friend Qingfeng... no, fellow Daoist Qingfeng, who exactly are you?"

"With the cultivation and knowledge of a Core Formation stage cultivator, how could they possibly conceive of a technique of this level! Unless you are a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

For the first time, Xuan Gu's voice carried genuine awe.

"Hehe, Senior Xuan, you're overthinking it. I am who I am. Over the years, you've observed me; have you discovered any trace of possession?"

Qingfeng shook his head.

Xuan Gu remained silent.

Indeed, his mastery of the soul realm was extremely high. If Qingfeng was someone whose body had been possessed, he couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it.

Moreover, Qing Sanyang would never allow someone else to possess his only son.

"Then this cultivation technique..."

The mysterious bone points to the jade slip.

"As I said, I figured it out myself."

Qingfeng spread his hands, explaining that he had indeed figured it out himself through system deduction.

However, he derived the "Ghostly Path Classic: Yin-Yang Soul Harmony Technique" from the "Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique," which took him 800 years and cost 400 million spirit stones.

"I have lived for a thousand years and have seen countless geniuses, but someone like you... is unheard of."

The mystery of the Xuan Gu is unbelievable.

"Oh, there are many things you haven't seen before."

So, how about it? Want to come work for me?

I don't need your loyalty, I just need you to act according to the agreement.

After this is accomplished, the complete cultivation technique will be yours, as will the extremely Yin nascent soul.

Qingfeng set out the conditions.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I know what to do."

Xuan Gu remained silent for a long time before finally bowing deeply.
