"This is just a temporary measure. Once we get out of here, I will teach you the complete set of techniques."

A-Jiang checked the location, led Tao Pianpian to a spot, and said, "You stay here. If any spirits dare to approach you, you should strike them down. If not, you can continue learning magic."

Then he took out two more puppets to protect Tao Pianpian.

After settling Tao Pianpian in, A Jiang led Xiao Songjing upstairs to the second floor. The second floor had more will-o'-the-wisps than the first floor, their greenish glow making it feel even more eerie.

A-Jiang also took out a book and several talismans and handed them to Xiao Songjing, saying, "This is more suitable for you to study."

Xiao Songjing looked down and saw it was: "The Thousand Demons and Ten Thousand Ghosts Technique"

He said in a low voice, "You've figured it out."

Ajahn nodded and smiled, "It's hard not to notice, isn't it?"

Xiao Songjing also smiled, but the two of them meant it differently.

"I don't intend to pursue anything against you; everyone has their own path to walk."

"Ghost cultivation is the most difficult of all cultivators. It is a choice made when there is no other way. Although cultivators who have practiced the Ghost Path are no longer bound by human morality, they cannot act recklessly. In the end, they still have to follow the laws of the Great Dao."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Songjing asked, "Then what are the laws of the Great Dao?"

A-Jiang shook his head: "There are three thousand great paths, who can explain them clearly? All things in the world simply follow their own paths."

She then introduced the book: "This book is divided into three techniques: slaying ghosts, refining ghosts, and guiding ghosts. Although there are only three techniques, there are many variations when they are combined. However, most people can only find two paths, just like the path of medicine has healing and poison. How you choose to walk your path is up to you."

Xiao Songjing looked at her very seriously, as if he were meeting her for the first time today, and said, "Okay."

A-Jiang nodded, said nothing more to him, and went up to the third floor.

Actually, if this hadn't happened, A-Jiang wouldn't have intended to expose Xiao Songjing's secret practice of the Ghost Path. He was still quite sensible, only absorbing a little bit of yang energy for his own benefit.

And to be honest, this person is too much like her master, she can't bring herself to really hurt him.

I could only try my best to accommodate him, but fortunately he was sensible and didn't put himself in too difficult a position.

This journey may soon come to an end. The world is so big, and once we part ways, we may never meet again.

The first and second floors are filled with wandering ghosts and spirits, with more vengeful spirits on the second floor, while the third floor is inhabited by demons with physical forms.

These demons and ghosts are trapped inside this building, serving as both henchmen of the female ghost general and nourishment for the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Tower.

These monsters were strangely shaped, and it was unknown where the female ghost had caught them. They were completely different from the fluffy and cute spirit beasts of the cultivation world.

The three-headed, wolf-like behemoth slowly approached, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly.

Countless scarlet eyes remained, peering menacingly into the darkness.

A-Jiang couldn't help but cover his nose. Here, monsters fought each other year-round, and the surrounding area was filled with blood, foam, bones, and flesh.

"This stinks!"

"It stinks!"

The little turtle next to it chimed in.

"Hey Ah Jiang, why did you summon me again, and to this godforsaken place no less?"

"Since I started following you, I haven't been eating or dressing well, and I've even ended up in such a dangerous place. Is my grandfather getting old and blind, which is why he entrusted me to you?"

"I think I'll go back to the Azure Lotus Sect!"

"Little turtle, you have to endure hardship to rise above others. If you want to enjoy life in the future, you should work hard and earn money while you're young."

"You're lying. Only poor people need to work. I was born a young master."

Ajahn tapped its head, a gesture born of the resentment of a working man.

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think we should do about this situation?"

"Hmph, these trash couldn't break my defense even if they cultivated for ten thousand years. Let's just eat and drink well, and watch the show. Let's see who can't take it."

As he spoke, he puffed out his robes, and the patterned robes transformed into the size of a house in the blink of an eye, filled with fresh air and abundant spiritual energy.

This contrasts sharply with the scene inside the Demon Tower.

The little turtle then produced a blanket from somewhere and spread it on the ground.

"Let's sleep together. Maybe when we wake up, this monster will be dead."

Ah Jiang's lips twitched: "You really are big."

Then they started taking things out of the storage bag: a round table, chairs, tea and snacks, fans, storybooks, and finally even a bed with a mosquito net!

The little turtle stared in disbelief: "You...you're absolutely outrageous!"

Ah Jiang looked around and felt that things had gone a bit too far.

She put away the round table, replaced it with a small table, and lay down on the bed with a blanket, also taking out several soft quilts.

"Aren't you afraid that female ghost will come back to settle scores with you right now?"

"Afraid? What am I afraid of? Didn't you say they couldn't break your defense even in ten thousand years?"

"That's true, but... something seems off."

"Don't worry, the female ghost told us to go upstairs to find her, but I think it's fine as it is now. Xiao Songjing and Tao Pianpian are both working hard to cultivate, and I also need to study my cultivation technique later, so we won't go up."

As she spoke, Ah Jiang had already taken off her shoes and climbed onto the bed: "I must say, this space is quite nice; you can even vaguely see what's happening outside."

Ah Jiang looked through the bed curtains at the various monsters attacking outside, but none of them could do anything about the tortoise shell.

She muttered to herself, "I was thinking of taking some in as spirit beasts, but it looks like that won't work. These demon beasts have been exposed to yin energy for a long time, and they'll probably turn to ashes if they go out and see the sun."

The black-armored tortoise looked at A-Jiang, who had already gone to bed and was now flipping through a book he had somehow acquired, and was speechless.
