Chapter 1045: Long-Eyebrowed Ghost King
The One-Horned Ghost King did not whet Qingyang's appetite and said directly: "There is a Ten Kings Hall deep in the Netherworld. It is composed of ghost cultivators and is regarded as the holy land of ghost cultivators in the entire Netherworld. It is extremely powerful. Among the Ten Kings Hall, there is a special ghost king, known as the Long Eyebrow Ghost King. Under normal circumstances, whether it is human cultivators, ghost cultivators, monsters, or spiritual creatures, they can't escape the limitation of lifespan. It takes 100 years to refine Qi, 200 years to build foundation, 400 years to form golden elixir, and 1,000 years to form Yuanying. There may be slight differences between individuals, but they are generally the same. This is the way of heaven, and there are almost no exceptions."
"Could it be that this Long Eyebrow Ghost King is an exception?" Qingyang asked.
The One-Horned Ghost King nodded and said, "That's right. This Long-Eyebrowed Ghost King is gifted. He was born with ten long eyebrows. When he broke through the Ghost Spirit Stage from the Ghost Form Stage, because of his limited aptitude and insufficient life span, he burned one long eyebrow and increased his life span by a hundred years. Finally, he successfully broke through the Ghost Spirit Stage. Later, the Ghost Spirit Stage broke through the Ghost King Realm in the same way. Therefore, this Long-Eyebrowed Ghost King has ordinary aptitude, but he was able to grow into one of the Ten Palaces of Ghosts because of these ten long eyebrows."
There are so many things in the world. I didn't expect that there are such gifted people in the world. One long eyebrow can actually increase life span by a hundred years. It is really a blessing from heaven and earth. Qingyang said, "Can the long eyebrows of this Long-Eyebrowed Ghost King also be used to increase Other people's life span? Can Miaomiao be saved? "
The One-horned Ghost King said: "As far as I know, it can be used to increase the life span of others, but the effect will be greatly reduced, and the Long Eyebrow Ghost King must be willing to do it. As for whether Miss Yu Mengmiao can be saved, it is really hard to say. You also know that Miss Yu Mengmiao has lost not only her life span, but also her potential in other aspects has been exhausted. We can only give it a try. "
Qingyang nodded. It is true. Such a heaven-defying treasure must have many restrictions. Yu Mengmiao's situation is not for others. If it is just that the life span is insufficient, it is enough to just replenish the life span. Now Yu Mengmiao's situation is so serious that it cannot be solved by just replenishing the life span.
For the Long Eyebrow Ghost King, eyebrows are his life span. If he gives it to others, he will lose it. No matter who it is, it is impossible to give his life to others. The difficulty of this second method is even higher than the first one, and there is almost no possibility of success. But no matter how difficult it is, Qingyang can't watch Yu Mengmiao die. He must try hard anyway.
As for why the two places mentioned by the One-Horned Ghost King are both in the Netherworld, Qingyang can guess the reason. The Ancient Wind Continent is huge, with all kinds of cultivators. The Netherworld is the territory of the ghost cultivators. The One-Horned Ghost King is a ghost cultivator, so he must have come from the Netherworld. Of course, the things he knows are mainly about the Netherworld. So are there any other places to save Yu Mengmiao? Maybe there are, but Qingyang is completely in the dark about the Ancient Wind Continent and knows nothing. Instead of running around like a headless fly, it is better to choose to trust the One-Horned Ghost King and go to the Netherworld to try.
No matter what the solution is, it is extremely precious that the One-Horned Ghost King can think of two solutions in such a short time. Qingyang bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Ghost King."
The One-Horned Ghost King said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. There is another very important thing now. I don't know how long Miss Yu Mengmiao can hold on in this situation. Finding a solution is not a matter of one day or one night. We must find a way to save her breath before we can talk about other things."
Qingyang also knew that if he couldn't save Yu Mengmiao's last breath, everything else would be in vain. Qingyang hurriedly said, "Whatever you need me to do, Senior Ghost King, just tell me."
The One-Horned Ghost King glanced around and looked at the messy things Qingyang took out. Then he shook his head and said, "Put these away. They are not very useful. Only the large half of the jade spirit marrow can play a role. Bring it to me."
Qingyang's mind moved, and he put away all the things he had taken out because of his concern for Yu Mengmiao, leaving only the jade spirit marrow and handing it to the One-Horned Ghost King. This jade spirit marrow was obtained by Qingyang before he joined Qingfeng Hall. Some of it was used when planting the Wannianhong and Lingtao trees in the Zuixian Gourd. The remaining half was useless, so it was kept in the Zuixian Gourd.
The One-Horned Ghost King took the jade spirit marrow, tapped Yu Mengmiao's body with both hands several times, and kneaded a series of complex spells. A white light instantly shot into Yu Mengmiao's brows. After that, Yu Mengmiao stopped breathing, and there was no breath anymore. He lay quietly on the ground, as if he was dead.
Qingyang was worried, but he knew that the One-Horned Ghost King would not deliberately kill Yu Mengmiao. He could only hold his breath and watch the One-Horned Ghost King's actions. At this time, the One-Horned Ghost King picked up the jade spirit marrow, pressed it tightly against Yu Mengmiao's brows, and then used his hands to practice. Not long after, a pure energy full of vitality was released from the jade spirit marrow and slowly injected into Yu Mengmiao's body.
In just a quarter of an hour, the energy of the jade spirit marrow was exhausted and turned into a gray stone, but Yu Mengmiao on the ground did not change at all. It could only be felt that her physical condition seemed to have stabilized. There was no obvious improvement, nor did it continue to deteriorate. However, Qingyang's hanging heart gradually calmed down. Yu Mengmiao's current situation was good.
After doing all this, the One-Horned Ghost King stopped, took a few breaths, and said: "Miss Yu Mengmiao's situation is not optimistic. I used the ghost secret technique to temporarily freeze the vitality of her soul and body. With the support of a large piece of jade spirit marrow essence, there should be no problem for decades. The rest depends on when you can find a way to save her."
Don’t think that the One-Horned Ghost King did it easily. In fact, the secret technique he used before consumed a lot of his life essence. Otherwise, it would be impossible to protect Yu Mengmiao for decades with only half of the jade spirit marrow. This place is not like the Netherworld. The outside world is full of spiritual energy instead of Yin and Ming ghost energy. The ghost king has lost his life essence and it is difficult to replenish it. He can only recover little by little in the soul-gathering flag. Every time he loses, it takes a lot of time to replenish it.
In the transaction between him and the One-Horned Ghost King, the other party only wanted some Yin and Ming ghost energy to restore his strength, and he also got many benefits. In fact, the transaction has been completed. Later, the One-Horned Ghost King gradually recovered his strength and could leave him completely, but the One-Horned Ghost King did not leave. Instead, he helped a lot during this period. He killed the evil spirit in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave, saved the Fairy Duanqing, and helped him supervise the refining of magic weapons. This time he took action on Yu Mengmiao, almost responding to every request. Qingyang knew that these were not what the One-horned Ghost King had to do, but he had no complaints. He really didn't know how to thank him for this kindness. He could only bow deeply to the other party, keep the gratitude in his heart, and repay him double when he had the chance.
