Chapter 114: Adjusting the Spiritual Realm! Farewell to Luo Ke! (6.2K)
The broken black gems were finely carved, and after the dirt and filth were removed, they sparkled brightly.
Next to the gem, Lu Feng also found a broken gold necklace. It was obvious that this gem was once a piece of jewelry.
In the pit, Lu Feng also found some very hard white bones after being baptized by the power of death. They should be the owner of this gem necklace.
A noble castle, murder and burial, revenge murder?
Lu Feng simply thought about what had happened here and didn't want to study it in depth.
It is unknown how many years this gloomy castle has existed. All the grudges that once took place here have long since disappeared under the erosion of time.
Even if the truth exists, it has long been buried under the dust.
Lu Feng dug up the bones and threw them into the ghost realm along with the broken gem necklace.
After searching the castle again, the ghost soldiers searched everywhere. Lu Feng did not find much useful things except for some tools contaminated with the power of death.
After touring the castle, there was no trace of the power of death left in the once eerie castle.
Walk out the door and look back.
The midday sun sets.
The eerie castle was bathed in bright sunshine, and the power of death within the castle quickly dissipated. It would probably be habitable soon.
However, no one would live in this unlucky place.
Outside the castle,
Luo Ke was bathing in the sun at this time, his expression solemn, his wings gently flapping behind him, his body moving freely, dancing gracefully, like a beautiful butterfly frolicking among the grass and trees.
As Luo Ke danced gracefully, emerald green natural energy, like stars in a galaxy, was gathered by her and scattered on the surrounding land.
Luo Ke was certainly not dancing randomly.
This is the Fairy Dance.
A special ritual to please nature and draw on natural energy.
It requires the blood power of the fairy tribe, and only the fairy tribe can use it.
Under the influence of the elves' dance, the gathered natural energy flows into the land contaminated by the death energy, purifying the death energy.
The gloomy atmosphere dissipated.
The barren land regained its vitality and became fertile.
After a period of time, seeds of grass and trees will fall on this land. It won’t be long before plants grow on the land outside the castle again, restoring the natural ecology.
Lu Feng quietly admired Luo Ke's dancing.
The lovely Luo Ke performed this lively dance. Just by watching it, you would feel immersed in it and your mind would relax.
An hour later.
All the land around the castle was purified by Rocco's Fairy Dance.
Luo Ke stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he looked a little tired, he couldn't hide the happiness in his eyes.
"I feel the joy of nature. After my purification, it won't be long before this land is full of vitality!"
Lu Feng came to Luo Ke, took out the gem from the castle and said:
"Finally it's done! I've cleaned up the castle. Apart from finding a broken gem and catching some vengeful spirits to fill my secret treasure, there's nothing good to gain!"
The broken gemstone, Lu Feng didn’t recognize its material.
I plan to give Luo Ke some advice.
Luo Ke took the broken black gem in his hand, looked at it with disdain, and identified the result:
"This is a piece of black manganese stone, a gemstone containing the power of death. It was mined and made into a necklace. After the black manganese stone was broken and came into contact with a fresh corpse, the power of death in it was released, creating the first vengeful spirit in the castle. Later, more and more people died in the castle, and this gloomy castle we see today was created!"
Luo Ke had extensive knowledge of alchemy and quickly recognized the origin of the gem.
Combined with the traces on the gems, a rough estimate of what had happened in the eerie castle was made.
“If this black stone is not damaged, it can still be used. It is also a good thing for wizards in their apprenticeship stage. The rich power of death in it is very useful for cultivating undead spirits or refining secret treasures.
If I run into those guys in the [White Bone Cemetery] who know what they are doing, there will be no problem selling them for a few hundred magic stones.
Unfortunately, this stone has been damaged, and the death power in it has dissipated by 80%. I don’t know if anyone wants dozens of magic stones!"
Luo Ke secretly thought it was a pity.
Otherwise, the two of them could earn a small amount of magic stones just by going shopping.
"It's okay. The reason I came here is to cultivate the secret treasure. This stone is just a substitute. It doesn't matter whether I can sell the magic stone or not!"
Taking the black stone back from Luo Ke, Lu Feng said, not caring about the gain or loss.
Anyway, the purpose of Lu Feng's coming here was just to capture some resentful spirits for the Yin Gui Ling Realm to fill up the army of ghost soldiers under his command.
Having captured seventy-six evil spirits, his mission was successfully completed.
Mission accomplished, the two set off on their journey home.
Lu Feng didn't know the situation here when he came, so he left in a hurry.
When they were returning, the two of them chatted and laughed, and it really felt like they were out for a picnic.
Before dark, Lu Feng and Luo Ke returned to the wizard tower.
After having dinner together, Lu Feng returned to the sixth floor of the Wizard Tower. Just as he was about to take the secret medicine for meditation, he suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly took out the Yin Gui Lingjing.
The spirit sinks into it.
Lu Feng saw a strange scene.
Among the vengeful spirits captured from the ancient castle, the two most powerful ones actually fought fiercely with each other.
These two vengeful spirits are both at the level of second-class wizard apprentices. They are very powerful and already have physical forms.
From their appearance, they can be identified as a man and a woman.
At this moment, in the ghost realm, the female ghost held the broken black stone in her hand, the aura of death boiling over her body, as if she was stimulated by something, and her resentment increased greatly.
Stimulated by the power of hatred and the power of death in the black stone, the female ghost seemed to remember something and grabbed the male ghost next to her and started to bite him.
The male ghost had a dull body and was obviously inferior to the female ghost. After being caught, he was powerless to resist and could only wail in pain.
Under the gnawing of the female ghost, the male ghost's body quickly dimmed, and was eaten up by the female ghost in a short while.
The aura of the female ghost who "ate" the male ghost gradually became stronger, and the death power in the black stone continued to flow into the body of the female ghost.
With a click!
The black stone on the chest of the female ghost shattered with a loud bang, and the death power in it was completely absorbed by the female ghost, turning into powder and scattering on the bone land of the spiritual realm.
At this moment, the female ghost let out a shrill cry, and her body, which was condensed with the power of death, shook violently.
Her face gradually became clear, revealing a pale woman's face.
"Is this a promotion?"
Lu Feng, who witnessed this scene, clearly felt that the female ghost's strength had greatly increased and she was already at the level of a third-class wizard apprentice.
"May I have your name?"
Lu Feng tentatively invested a little mental energy to ask the female ghost after her advancement, but found that after the advancement, the female ghost still had low intelligence and could not answer his questions at all.
"What a pity! If I had a higher intelligence, I could be a female general and help me manage and command the ghost soldiers in the Yin Ghost Realm!"
Lu Feng secretly thought it was a pity, but he also knew that this was just his own delusion.
Undead creatures such as vengeful spirits are born from death and mostly act on instinct. It is extremely difficult for them to give birth to intelligence.
At least among the vengeful spirits in Lu Feng's hands, none of them have any intelligence.
According to the records of the Verdant Tower, the strength of intelligent vengeful spirits is at least at the level of a first-class formal wizard.
The power of vengeful spirits at this level will become extremely terrifying.
Without targeted spells and wizard secrets, it is extremely difficult to kill a vengeful spirit of the same level.
Lu Feng checked the condition of the female ghost.
After her strength increased, the female ghost became more vicious. If she were released into the wild, she would definitely be a disaster that could wreak havoc on a region and destroy a village or town.
But in the Yin Ghost Realm, the female ghost was firmly controlled by Lu Feng and could be commanded at will.
After all, compared with the Yin Gui Lingjing, the female ghost at the level of a third-class wizard apprentice is much weaker.
Seeing that there was no problem with the female ghost, Lu Feng felt relieved and started to sort out the ghost spirit realm.
In fact, over the past few days, the space of the Yin Gui Ling Realm, which was originally the size of a room, has also grown a lot and has several more square meters of land.
"The development of the Yin Ghost Realm is very good!"
Watching the development of the Yin Gui Ling Realm, Lu Feng was like an old farmer watching the crops grow vigorously in the fields, with a gratified smile on his face.
During the day, he swallowed the power of death in a gloomy castle. At this moment, the death energy in the ghost realm is very strong.
The energy of death mixed with the water vapor of the Yellow Spring Water, adding a layer of cold mist to the ghost realm.
The resentful spirits collected during the day were turned into ghost soldiers by the Yin Ghost Barracks.
Including the ghost soldiers in the original barracks, Lu Feng now has 131 ghost soldiers under his command, plus three white skeletons.
The skeletons were lying on the bone-filled Yin soil, and the ghost soldiers in the barracks were enjoying the baptism of the silver moon disk's brilliance at the top of the Yin Ghost Spirit Realm.
They instinctively breathed in the moonlight that was beneficial to them.
As these ghost soldiers and white skeletons practiced their instincts, Lu Feng felt that there was a strange rhythm in the ghost realm.
In this rhythm, the ghost spirit realm is slowly growing.
The "living" ghost soldiers and white skeletons seem to play a significant role in promoting the development of the ghost realm.
"Damn it! The jade slips of the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra and the inheritance stolen from Master Qiu only have methods for practicing to reach the spiritual realm, but no methods for training after reaching the spiritual realm! I wonder if the makers of these jade slips of inheritance of the earthly immortals did it on purpose or by accident!"
Due to his limited knowledge of the ways of earthly immortals and the lack of any fellow practitioners to teach him, Lu Feng was somewhat confused about the future development of the spiritual realm.
"There are powerful people who have reached the spiritual realm in Dahe Temple where Monk Huijing is, but Monk Huijing died in my hands. I'm afraid it's not a good place for him to go. I just don't know if I can meet other people of the same path in other places."
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!"
Lu Feng shook his head and temporarily gave up the idea of adventuring in the earthly immortal world.
He has just started learning the Green Spirit Wood Meditation Method. The soul seed has already condensed, but the [Ancient Tree Body] has not yet solidified.
There is still room for improvement in the way of wizards.
After solidifying the [Body of the Ancient Tree] and getting an offensive wizard's secret treasure, Lu Feng felt that he would have the confidence to take the risk.
Now that the Qingmu Spirit Realm has been built, there are no more obstacles to becoming a first-level official wizard. He still has a long life ahead of him, so it won't be a waste to wait a little longer.
Speaking of Qingmu Lingjing,
Looking at the Qingmu Spirit Realm in his dantian, the smile on Lu Feng's face became even more intense.
Compared to the small and simple Yin Gui Spirit Realm, which is like a ghost cave, Lu Feng's Qingmu Spirit Realm appears to be exceptionally spacious and full of vitality.
The saplings of the ancient energy-absorbing trees that support the sky have tall and strong branches and lush leaves.
Lu Feng has not been idle these days.
He took the low-grade magic weapon obtained from Qi San, one of the leaders of the Sanhe Gang, and hung 365 grains of rice-sized starlight sand in the sky of Qingmu Spirit Realm.
Although it is not as good as the silver moon disk in the Yin Gui Spirit Realm, it also adds some starlight to the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
The ground where the energy-absorbing ancient tree seedlings took root was originally soft and fertile soil. Lu Feng also collected some plant seeds these days and sowed them over an area with a radius of one mile.
Under the nourishment of the vitality emitted by the energy-absorbing ancient tree seedlings, most of these plants have grown and sprouted, drilled out of the soil, and covered the earth with a layer of green carpet.
"However, my Qingmu Spirit Realm only has plants, General Shenwei and several spirits. It's time to add some creatures to the Qingmu Spirit Realm!"
General Shenwei and several spirits are not very adaptable to the now too real Qingmu Spirit Realm space, and do not like to walk on the ground.
Usually, they are mostly hidden in the starlight and fine sand hanging in the sky, silently assisting the spiritual realm in refining the power of incense and vows.
Thinking of the role of ghost soldiers and hundreds of ghost skeletons in the Yin Ghost Realm, Lu Feng also wanted to add some living beings to the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
"The space of Qingmu Spirit Realm is not big, and nature is too fragile to be suitable for introducing animals. If we can introduce some alien races who love nature, it would be a good choice!"
Thinking of introducing biological organisms, Lu Feng couldn't help but think of Luo Ke.
It would be a good choice if he could get two little goblins, put them in Qingmu Spirit Realm, and help him take care of the plants and energy-absorbing ancient trees.
However, this idea is a bit too bold.
Fairy tribes like Roco are all human, but they have fairy blood.
Even if Lu Feng wanted to hire those elves whose blood concentration was low and who could not advance to the first-level formal wizards, he would have to pay a very high price.
Because of their fairy blood, they are naturally more affinity with plants. Even some wizard apprentices are good at helping formal wizards take care of magical plants.
Besides, Lu Feng’s Qingmu Spiritual Realm is not suitable to be displayed openly.
As for wild natural fairies, they are too rare.
They have the protection of nature, so even if they appear in front of Lu Feng, he won't be able to see them without a certain degree of natural favor.
As for other races, Lu Feng called Annie and asked:
"Recently, I saw you start an adventurer's guild. Have you collected any information about alien races?"
"Alien?"
Anne thought for a while, recalled the intelligence on alien races collected by the Adventurer's Guild and said:
“For the time being, our Adventurer’s Guild has only expanded to the vicinity of Red Leaf Territory. We have collected little intelligence on alien races, mostly goblins, kobolds, and some lone ogres.
We sent adventurers to kill these foreign tribes that often attacked villages and passers-by, and destroyed their camps."
Lu Feng asked Annie again if she had discovered any special alien races.
Anne thought about it and said no.
Goblins, gnolls, ogres, these alien races are inherently evil and have low IQs. If they are introduced into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, it will easily destroy the fragile natural environment there.
Especially the goblins and kobolds, two alien races, are extremely fertile.
There is a saying that goes, when you find a goblin in the forest, it means there are already countless goblins in the forest.
Lu Feng doesn't want his Qingmu Spirit Realm to be filled with green goblins in the near future.
The ugly goblin is disgusting just by looking at it.
There were no available alien races. Lu Feng thought for a moment and told Annie:
"Forget it, go to Andre Hou Jun and ask for a few death row prisoners, preferably both male and female! I want to do some experiments!"
"Okay, sir! I'll do it right away!" Annie nodded and agreed.
It is quite reasonable for wizards to use death row prisoners for experiments.
After a while, Annie brought ten death row prisoners to the fourth floor of the wizard tower.
It is quite easy to find some death row prisoners in such a huge territory like Red Leaf Territory.
It's just a little distracted, otherwise Annie could be faster.
Lu Feng took a look.
There are ten death row inmates, three women and seven men.
The three women were all big and strong with dark skin, and the seven men were of different heights, weights and shapes.
Lu Feng looked through their personal information.
First,
Hogg, male, 29 years old.
Crime: burglary, murder of six people after being discovered.
Cultivation: Knight Apprentice
Second place,
Kaili, female, 25 years old
Crime: Two sisters heard that eating human hearts raw could make one beautiful, so they killed 14 people and ate their hearts.
Cultivation: Knight Apprentice.
Roma, female, 22 years old
Crime: Same as above
Terri, female, 23 years old,
Crime: Same as above
Each of these people is a vicious person with blood on their hands.
They were escorted into the laboratory by Anne and the knights. They were still unruly and had fierce looks on their faces. If they were given any chance, they would definitely rise up in resistance.
"Okay, I'll take care of these people, you can go now!"
Lu Feng snapped his fingers, and a sleeping spell was cast. All ten death row prisoners fell to the ground.
"Yes, Master!"
After hearing what was said, Annie and the others respectfully withdrew and left the laboratory.
Before leaving, the knights looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
They have all seen the crimes committed by these death row inmates, but once they entered Lu Feng's laboratory, these people could neither live nor die.
You deserve it!
After everyone left, Lu Feng waved his hand, and the ten death row prisoners lying on the laboratory floor disappeared one by one.
"What is this place?"
When Hogg and his companions woke up from their coma, they saw a towering tree and a vast expanse of land.
"I am the mighty general under the throne of God! Why don't you kneel down and pray to me!"
As they looked around carefully and puzzled, a majestic voice came into their ears.
Hogg and the others looked up and saw a mighty general wearing golden armor and holding a gourd slowly descending from a towering tree and floating in front of them.
The mighty general opened his eyes wide and glanced down with authority.
Hogg and the others thought they were cruel, ruthless, bold and arrogant, but under this gaze, their hearts trembled, as if they had seen their natural enemy, and their legs went weak.
"Snap!"
Seeing that the few people were indifferent to his words, General Shenwei gently shook the gourd in his hand, and a black smoke gushed out, turning into a thin whip, and lashed Hogg and others fiercely.
"ah!"
Hogg was the first to be hit. He was whipped on the chest and immediately let out a shrill scream.
This whip was extremely painful, dozens of times more severe than the whip used by the Red Leaf City guards during interrogation.
In severe pain, Hogg only held on for one breath, then he obeyed the words of the mighty general, knelt on the ground and prayed.
When the others saw Hogg's miserable condition, they all knelt down in obedience and prayed.
But the mighty general was not prepared to let them go, and he swung his whip, lashing them one by one.
"If you disrespect my God, you will be punished with a whip!"
Driven by the whip, Hogg and others became obedient and listened carefully to the orders of General Shenwei.
They prayed when they were told to pray and ate grass when they were told to eat grass, and they dared not disobey at all.
"Okay, what's left is to train them slowly over time. With the punishment of the mighty general's soul-piercing whipping, these death row prisoners will gradually succumb no matter how strong their wills are. They will honestly follow my arrangements and take care of the land of Qingmu Spirit Realm!"
Lu Feng controlled General Shenwei and used pain to set rules for Hogg and others in the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
Lu Feng had no mercy on the death row inmates.
To be precise, for wizards on every continent, death row prisoners are their most ideal experimental materials.
Convenient and easy to use.
"It's a pity that General Shenwei's intelligence is too low, and I still need to distract myself to control him!"
Lu Feng shook his head and sighed.
Fortunately, after becoming a first-level official wizard, Lu Feng was still able to do two things at once when he was not fighting.
It is not difficult to distract and control and manage Hogg and others.
Similarly, after Hogg and others entered the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, Lu Feng also felt their presence slightly affecting the spiritual realm space.
"Sure enough, living beings are beneficial to the spiritual space."
Lu Feng was busy with the two spiritual realms and practicing meditation, so the time he spent playing with Luo Ke naturally decreased. After staying in the wizard tower for a few days, Luo Ke couldn't stand it anymore.
The resources on the secondary continent are scarce, which is not conducive to Luo Ke's cultivation, so Luo Ke thought about it and said goodbye to Lu Feng.
"Brother Rest, I'm ready to go! I'm going to return to Trudo Continent and find some place to gain experience. You also know my fairy bloodline. If I don't think of a way, I don't know how long it will take me to break through to the first-level official wizard!"
"Are you leaving?"
Lu Feng stared at Luo Ke's pretty face and sighed.
On the Trandi secondary continent, Lu Feng had the golden finger so he could stay at home, but for someone like Luo Ke who wanted to become a formal first-level wizard, it was like a cage and he couldn't stay there at all.
Lu Feng knew that this day would come soon, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Here, this is the spell scroll I made especially for you. It contains the combined spell [Seed of Life] that I cast with all my strength. Use it at the critical moment to protect you!"
He took out three rolled-up spell scrolls from his storage pocket and stuffed them into Luo Ke's hands.
These three spell scrolls were pseudo-spell scrolls made by Lu Feng by combining the talisman technology from the world of earthly immortals and the materials from the world of wizards.
After his special disguise, it was almost no different from the spell scrolls in the wizarding world.
However, it can save 20% to 30% of material consumption.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Luo Ke took Lu Feng's spell scroll with a smile and thanked him sweetly.
The three combined spells [Seed of Life], each of which can exert spell power exceeding that of a third-level wizard apprentice, are indeed good for using as a means of life-saving.
Brother Rest, you are so thoughtful!
"Brother Rest, when I break through to become a first-level official wizard, will you return to the Verdant Tower to celebrate with me?"
Before leaving, Luo Ke stared into Lu Feng's eyes and said sincerely.
"Yes, of course!" Lu Feng said firmly.
Routine request for monthly tickets!
