Chapter 868 Low-Level Ghost
Even such words were said. It seems that Master Shi Han is determined to obtain the ghost technique. In this way, things will be easy. The other party was anxious, but Qingyang was not anxious. He said slowly: "I have been here for a long time. Master Shi Han may not recognize me? Let me introduce myself first. My Taoist name is Qingyang. I am currently the head of the Alchemy Institute in Wantong Pavilion."
Master Shi Han is just a weird temperament, not indifferent to worldly affairs. He has heard of Qingyang, who is well-known in the alchemy world. After listening to Qingyang's introduction, he was also shocked. He looked up and down for a long time before saying: "You are the legendary youngest alchemy king Qingyang in the history of Zhongsha District? No wonder you have such courage. I apologize for the offense just now."
Although Qingyang is only a foundation-building cultivator, his status in the alchemy world of Qingyang City is higher than Master Shi Han's status in the refining world. No matter how weird Master Shi Han's temperament is, he still respects people with real skills and sincerely apologizes for what happened just now.
Qingyang could see that Master Shihan's temperament was somewhat similar to Master Kuzhu of Wantong Pavilion, but he was not good at dealing with people, so he looked stiff to outsiders, but he was still easy to deal with after getting familiar with him, and he didn't have so many crooked thoughts.
Seeing that Master Shihan was willing to talk to him on an equal footing, things became much easier. Qingyang said, "Master Shihan, since you know my identity, you should also know that I don't lack elixirs, spirit stones, etc., and the things you said can't impress me."
Master Shihan also understood what Qingyang meant. When he first came, Liu Wei said that they came for the trip to the Ancient Wind Continent. At that time, he was in a bad mood and directly refused. He didn't expect things to change so quickly. In a blink of an eye, he became a request from the other party.
Master Shihan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Qingyang a chance, but the spirit ship he built was too small and couldn't accommodate too many cultivators. He refused Liu Wei before because the quota was full, but the ghost way technique was something he must get. What should he do?
Master Shi Han thought for a long time and felt that the ghost technique was more important. Although the spirit ship was small, there should be two or three more seats if they squeezed together. If Qingyang insisted on going to the Ancient Wind Continent with them, it would not be impossible to agree to his request.
After hesitating for a long time, Master Shi Han said: "Master Qingyang, can you come in alone with me to discuss in detail?"
"Why not? Master Shi Han, lead the way," Qingyang said.
Seeing that Qingyang wanted to go into the house alone with Master Shihan, the guard Guiqing couldn't help but hesitate. He had neglected his duty just now. If something went wrong again, it would be difficult to report to Wantong Pavilion after returning, so he said: "Master Qingyang, is there any danger inside?"
Qingyang hadn't spoken yet, Master Shihan turned his head, looked at him coldly, and said: "You worry too much. If I really want to harm Master Qingyang, do you think you can stop me?"
Being forced by Master Shihan, Guiqing's face suddenly became embarrassed. Judging from the speed of Master Shihan's attack just now, he was indeed much better than him. Although the cultivation between the two was only one level apart, their strength was very different. As Master Shihan said, if the other party really wanted to harm Master Qingyang, he really couldn't stop it, and his worry was really redundant.
Guiqing didn't stop him, Liu Wei and Xiying also stood aside obediently without saying anything. Qingyang and Master Shihan entered the house in the backyard together and casually set up a ban at the door.
The room was dark, and one had to rely on divine sense to see the surrounding situation. The room was not big and the layout was very simple. There was only a bed, a table and two stools. The whole room was filled with gusts of cold wind, and the temperature seemed much lower than outside, as if someone was blowing cool air behind him. If Qingyang had not been mentally prepared for this, he would have really thought he had arrived at some ghost place.
On the table in the middle of the house, there was a young soul-gathering grass. On the soul-gathering grass, there was a black mist floating. It was vaguely visible that it was a human figure, but it was not clear. Because of the netherworld master and the one-horned ghost king, Qingyang knew something about the ghost cultivators. The black mist in front of him was obviously a newly formed ghost, but it was too weak to even form a human body.
The strength of ghosts is divided into ghost soul stage, ghost shadow stage, ghost shape stage, and ghost spirit stage from low to high.
The ghost stage is just a conscious or unconscious energy body. Mortals cannot see it with their eyes. Only cultivators like Qingyang can feel it with their divine thoughts.
The ghost stage is the lowest level of ghosts. The attack power is almost negligible, which is only equivalent to ordinary people or Kaimai realm cultivators. The weakest ghost stage ghosts can only take advantage of the mortals when they are too sad and restless. The strong ones can disturb the mind and make them sick.
The ghost shadow stage is another realm after the ghost becomes powerful. It can condense into a phantom as a body and can change into any shape according to its own wishes. The ghosts in the ghost shadow stage have strong divine thoughts and are extremely good at mental attacks, and even control the enemy for their own use. The only flaw is that the ghost shadow is extremely weak and can be easily defeated. It is only equivalent to the Qi Refining stage among cultivators.
Qingyang judged that the strength of the ghost in front of him was only the initial stage of the ghost. The strength was pitifully low. It seemed that it could be dispelled with a breath. I don’t know if it was a problem with the practice method or something went wrong during the practice. The situation of this ghost was very bad and it could collapse at any time.
Looking at the almost shapeless ghost on the table, Master Shi Han showed a trace of pain on his face, and said: "To be honest with Master Qingyang, the ghost on the table is none other than my Taoist partner Mei Qing who died unexpectedly. It was also a coincidence that there happened to be a soul-gathering grass growing where she had the accident, so that her soul would not be scattered. I was looking for the ghost technique for her."
After Master Shi Han's narration, Qingyang finally figured out the whole story. Master Shi Han had a Taoist partner named Mei Qing, and the two had a deep relationship. However, once Mei Qing went out alone to do business and lost her life in an accident, which made Master Shi Han regret it.
It was also a coincidence that there happened to be a soul-gathering grass growing where the accident happened, so Mei Qing's soul escaped and attached to the soul-gathering grass. After Master Shi Han found the soul-gathering grass, he couldn't bear to part with his Taoist partner, so he brought back Mei Qing, who only had the soul left.
The soul-gathering grass was not very old and could only allow the soul to reside temporarily, but it could not preserve it for a long time. Neither Mei Qing nor Master Shi Han had practiced any method of reincarnation by taking over another body, and reincarnation by taking over another body had a time limit. The lower the level of cultivation, the shorter the time. They had already missed the best opportunity.
