Although they failed to devour Imhotep's soul, they still gained a large amount of experience points.
Originally, he had 10 experience points left, but now he has 100.
Seeing nearly 600,000 experience points, Cao Kun smiled.
500,000 of these points come from Imhotep.
The other ones were the mummies.
Although there were many of those mummies, their level was too low, worth only 100 to 500 experience points, which would only amount to tens of thousands of points in total.
With these experience points, Cao Kun's cultivation level can be upgraded again.
"upgrade!"
Cao Kun didn't delay and started upgrading.
Instantly, a large amount of evil energy entered the body, accelerating the body's internal circulation.
Then, more evil energy entered the dantian, making the evil platform even more solid.
At the same time, the true self enshrined on the evil altar gradually became clearer.
During this process, Cao Kun could clearly feel his own strength growing stronger and his magical power becoming more abundant.
About ten minutes later.
Cultivation level: Sixth Rank of the Evil Platform
Experience points: points
"The experience points are just a little less."
"This shows that my previous cultivation, which yielded valuable experience points, was not wasted."
Cao Kun's face lit up with joy, and he continued to upgrade the level.
Cultivation level: Seventh Rank of the Evil Platform
Experience points: points
This time, there was no cultivation level to offset, resulting in a real loss of 64,000 experience points.
However, this also allowed Cao Kun's cultivation level to directly reach the seventh rank of the Evil Platform.
The true self on the evil platform appeared clearer.
"Again!"
Cao Kun nodded again.
Cultivation level: Eighth Rank of the Evil Platform
Experience points: points
"Upgrade again!"
Cultivation level: Ninth Rank of the Evil Platform
Experience points: points
The upgrade button next to cultivation level has turned gray and can no longer be upgraded.
Cao Kun felt an incredibly powerful magical force within his body.
Even their physical condition improved significantly.
The evil altar and the true self enshrined on it have become more solidified.
He can cast spells faster and with greater power.
Its strength in all aspects has been greatly improved.
"Cool!"
Cao Kun was overjoyed, but this was not the end of it.
"The Yin-Yang Creation Technique, the Spell of Aversion, and the Poisoning Technique can all be upgraded."
Cao Kun thought for a moment and then clicked "upgrade" after "Yin Yang Creation Technique".
Yin Yang Creation Technique: Level Six
Experience points: points
"As expected, another upgrade requires a full 50,000 experience points."
"At this rate, we'll need 100,000 experience points next time."
Cao Kun glanced at the grayed-out button behind the Yin-Yang Creation Technique, then looked back at the "Spell of Cursing" and "Poisoning Technique".
"The art of warding off evil spirits is actually very useful, and it played a significant role in dealing with Imhotep this time."
"Let's level up first."
Cursed Arts: Level Six
Experience points: points
The experience points required to upgrade "Yansheng Shu" are the same as those required to upgrade "Yin Yang Zao Hua Gong".
"Gu Poison Technique, upgraded!"
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 2
Experience points: points
Seeing such a small amount of experience points, Cao Kun almost burst into tears.
As his cultivation level increased, the experience points he needed to level up also increased each time.
I have very little experience with three-digit numbers of records left.
But he also knew that this was the first time.
"continue!"
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 3
Experience points: points
"Again!"
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 4
Experience points: points
"Promote again!"
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 5
Experience points: points
Before long, Cao Kun's nearly 600,000 experience points were reduced to a pitiful 10,000.
However, Cao Kun's strength has improved significantly.
This time, he reaped a great harvest.
"Making money through illegal means is fast, but it hardly improves my cultivation level; at most, it allows me to absorb some souls."
"But those are just ordinary souls, and their strength increases only to a limited extent."
"All things considered, taking on exorcism commissions is actually more cost-effective."
"You can make money, improve your cultivation, and increase your strength."
"But adults don't have to make a choice; these two things are not in conflict."
A satisfied smile appeared on Cao Kun's face.
His attribute data is now as follows:
Host: Cao Kun
Identity: A low-level heretical cultivator
Technique: The Art of Condensing All Evil
Cultivation level: Ninth Rank of the Evil Platform
Skills (Spells):
Corpse Refining Technique
Yin Fu Technique
Ghost Raising Technique
Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique
Yin Yang Creation Technique: Level Six
Cursed Arts: Level Six
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 5
Experience points: points
"I wonder when I'll be able to get rid of this title of being a third-rate heretical cultivator."
Cao Kun muttered to himself silently.
Cao Kun was also quite tired after the previous night's battle.
But now that he has broken through several minor realms in a row, he is full of energy and in excellent condition, so there is no need for him to rest.
He walked out of the room and saw that most of the excited people had already gone to rest.
These people had been shouting loudly, but after several sleepless nights, their excitement wore off and they were all exhausted.
The young ones are fine, but the older ones really can't take it.
In the restaurant on the third floor, the sand has been completely swept away, and the messy tables and chairs have been restored to their original order.
The glass needs to be ordered in advance and won't be installed anytime soon, so it's just sitting there empty for now, which doesn't affect the guests' dining experience.
However, the production team will inevitably lose money again, but that has nothing to do with Cao Kun.
Cao Kun left the hotel, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the desert.
He certainly wasn't going to visit the ancient city of Thebes; he was going to catch scorpions, snakes, lizards, and the like.
How is Gu made?
Those who frequently raise Gu (poisonous insects) should know this.
The famous Ming Dynasty physician Li Shizhen clearly recorded in his "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Those who make Gu poison put hundreds of insects in a dish and let them eat each other, taking the surviving ones as Gu poison."
This means that those who raise Gu (a type of poisonous insect) place hundreds of poisonous insects in a container. They let these insects kill and devour each other, and the one that survives at the end is the Gu.
This is also the understanding of the vast majority of people regarding Gu.
That's true, but not entirely true.
In reality, Gu poison is far more complex than that.
The word that appears most often with Gu (蛊) is Wu (巫).
Taken together, it is called witchcraft.
Legend has it that it was invented by Chi You, but whether this is true or not cannot be verified.
The earliest recorded instance in history dates back to the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.
Empress Chen Ajiao was jealous of Wei Zifu's favor with the emperor, so she found someone who knew witchcraft and used witchcraft to harm Wei Zifu, but Emperor Wu of Han discovered the plot.
Finally, the investigation led to Empress Chen Ajiao, who was deposed and Wei Zifu was made empress.
Whether the records from another world are true or false is impossible to know.
But at least in this world, Gu poison is a real phenomenon.
There are many types of Gu poison, the most common being lizard Gu, dung beetle Gu, locust Gu, silkworm Gu, grass Gu, pick-life Gu, snake Gu, dog Gu, cat ghost Gu, scorpion Gu, toad Gu, flying Gu, malnutrition Gu, epilepsy Gu, swelling Gu, loach Gu, stone Gu, bamboo strip Gu, nail Gu, etc.
There are just too many kinds to count them all at once.
To put it simply, theoretically speaking, anything you see in your life could potentially contain Gu (a type of poison).
Among these, the most powerful is the Golden Silkworm Gu.
The Golden Silkworm Gu is not made from silkworms; the specific method will be explained later.
Now, Cao Kun is going to catch scorpions, snakes, lizards and other poisonous insects to see if he can refine a simple scorpion gu, snake gu, or lizard gu.
