"Thank you, Master!"
Ziyue thanked him respectfully.
"Mm, you may leave."
Liu Dong nodded and turned to the Left Guardian, Liu Yang. "Are you sure that the newly opened Ancient Rhyme Pavilion belongs to the Li Family?"
"That's right. I heard that Lee Hoon became a High Scholar after the Imperial Examinations and even got close to the Jia Family's Second Young Master. With the Jia Family's support, his elder brother, Li Qing, took advantage of the situation and annexed a few small Chambers of Commerce.
I reckon that the Ancient Rhyme Pavilion's opening in Qinghe Town this time is not just for business. "
Liu Yang said with a serious expression.
"No matter what, this matter does not have much to do with us. However, I think that some people will have a headache."
Liu Dong shook his head and said.
Ziyue slowly walked out of the room. He could no longer hear the rest of the conversation clearly.
However, when he heard Lee Hoon and Li Xu's names, his heart still skipped a beat.
He had personally experienced the massacre of the Li family a few months ago. At that time, he had obtained the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique and the Hundred Talisman Catalog from the body of the second son of the Li family, Li Xu.
Therefore, in detail, the Li Family, especially the Second Young Master, Li Xu, had helped him to a certain extent.
Previously, he had heard that after the Li Family experienced this unforeseen event, the Li Family's Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master, who had luckily escaped the disaster, sold their businesses in Qinghe Town and moved out.
He did not expect that in just a few months, they would once again open a shop in Qinghe Town.
"Is it because it is difficult to leave one's hometown, or do they have other motives?
That's worth considering. "
The Ghost Head Stronghold, the culprit behind the Li Family's massacre, flashed across Ziyue's mind. However, he quickly suppressed this thought.
At the moment, it was very difficult for this matter to have anything to do with him. He also did not want to care about it.
If it was within his ability, he might repay the favor. However, at the moment, he did not have the qualifications to participate in any matters related to the Li Family and the Ghost Head Stronghold.
…
After returning to his room, Ziyue first placed a piece of dark red meat properly.
This piece of meat did not seem big, but it was rather heavy.
He made a mental comparison and found that it was at least three times heavier than normal pork of the same size.
It was the flesh of the golden-armored exotic beast that his master had given him.
According to Liu Heng, it was the part of the hind leg where the meat was the toughest and sturdiest. It had a great effect on increasing one's Qi and blood. It weighed 12 catties.
Ziyue planned to find Master Cai in the kitchen tomorrow to deal with it. Perhaps it could increase his strength again.
Then, he turned his attention to the rewards he had obtained from Wu Hao.
"Ghost Nurturing Gourd, Corpse Summoning Bell … These two should be low-grade magik artifacts.
Other than that, there was also a money pouch filled with thirteen taels of silver and a fifty taels of silver note.
Oh right, there's also this' Wu Hao's Cultivation Notes' … "
Ziyue placed all the spoils of war on the table.
He first set his sights on Wu Hao's Cultivation Notes.
Previously, when he was near Liu Gang Temple, he had only briefly skimmed through it. Even though it did not record any specific cultivation methods or the mysteries of Dharma spells, it was just some general knowledge of cultivation. It was already an eye-opener for him.
"As expected, people who cultivate Dharma are divided into realms just like martial artists. However, Wu Hao clearly did not know much. He only knew that there were three major realms: Qi Cultivation, Orifices Awakening, and Divinity. There must be more realms above that, but it's a pity that he did not record them.
That Wu Hao was obviously just a small cultivator at the first level of Qi Cultivation.
"It turns out that magik artifacts are also divided into high and low levels. Usually, they are judged by the number of restrictions. Three restrictions are a level. The Yin-Yang Gourd is only a three-restriction magik artifact, the lowest level.
The Corpse Summoning Bell is slightly better. It is a six-restriction magik artifact. Although it is also a low-level magik artifact, it is stronger. "
Ziyue looked at Wu Hao's cultivation notes and understood something.
However, it didn't take long for a frown to appear on his face. What followed was a long note detailing Wu Hao's experience in raising ghosts and corpses, as well as some of the methods used to kill people. It was both cruel and evil, and left him feeling very uncomfortable.
Whether it was raising ghosts or corpses, they were all unorthodox methods. If it was not necessary, Ziyue did not want to cultivate.
Of course, it was still possible to understand and increase his knowledge. He could also take precautions in the future.
"Today, Uncle-Master came over. I finally asked Uncle-Master to teach me two Dharma spells."
After flipping through the ghost-raising experience and corpse-raising records, a line of words suddenly caught his attention.
"Uncle-Master?
Channel Chief Wu and a Junior Brother? "
Ziyue's heart tightened, but he quickly relaxed.
He thought that he had dealt with it quite secretly. As long as no one found out that he had killed Wu Hao, the Channel Chief Wu would not be able to find him.
Then, Ziyue quickly saw the records of the two Dharma spells in Wu Hao's cultivation notes.
He found that they were the two Dharma spells that Wu Hao had used before, the Spirit Flame Technique and the Spirit Light Shield.
"As expected, even if there is no official cultivation method of the Dharma spells, I can still infer a thing or two from his words.
Perhaps I can really restore the Dharma spells? "
Ziyue was secretly excited.
After two hours, Ziyue finally finished reading Wu Hao's cultivation notes. He felt that he had gained a lot.
The ghost-raising technique and corpse-raising secret technique were not so bad. Even if there was a specific method to use them, he did not plan to cultivate them.
However, the Spirit Flame Technique and the Spirit Light Shield were definitely his greatest gains.
As for some secrets about his Master and Senior Brother, there was relatively little written, but it gave him a general understanding of the two people.
From this, Bai Ziyue discovered that Wu Hao was extremely afraid of his master. This kind of fear could be felt from between the lines of his words.
Moreover, he did not have a good impression of his Senior Brother. Besides being on guard, he was even a little jealous.
In the cultivation notes, he wrote three times about his Senior Brother stealing his cultivation resources. It could be seen that the two of them were not on good terms.
However, he paid more attention to his Martial Uncle, who he had only written about once.
In the vicinity of Qinghe Town, he had not heard of anyone else who cultivated Dharma spells other than Elder Wu.
"The Ghost Raising Gourd and Corpse Summoning Bell are quite weak and not very useful to me. Why don't I try using the Soul Subduing Talisman and see if it can increase my Spiritual Energy?"
Ziyue thought to himself and took out a talisman from his clothes.
This was the only Soul Subduing Talisman he had left.
However, after thinking about it, he put it away.
After all, these two were Dharma Artifacts. Even if they were the lowest level of Third Restriction or Sixth Restriction, they would still be of some use.
In a situation where he did not desire Spiritual Energy too much, he felt that it would be better to put them away.
"Apart from these external items, my greatest gain this time is my Spiritual Energy. It has broken through a thousand again."
Ziyue looked at the amount of Spiritual Energy he had and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
This time, the one who contributed the most to his Spiritual Energy was the Zombie. It gave him a total of 435 Spiritual Energy. Next was Wu Hao's 312 Spiritual Energy and the Ghost Soldier's 237 Spiritual Energy. Adding on the 50 Spiritual Energy he originally had, he had a total of 1034 Spiritual Energy.
"Eh?
Wait … "
Suddenly, Ziyue's gaze froze and he revealed a bewildered expression.
