Chapter 148 Spiritual Root
"How can I become a ghost cultivator? I heard that a cultivator needs some secret technique to become a ghost cultivator, and also needs to use a special technique, so that they can retain their strength to the maximum extent possible..."

After taking the oath, Ye Qingyang couldn't wait to ask.

If he had not had to, he would not want to turn to the path of ghost cultivation, but in the current situation, as long as it could prolong his life, he didn't care.

He knows the situation in the world of cultivation best. Although ghost cultivators are not welcome, it is still much better than dying.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Next, I will summon the power of the Yin spirit. Senior, you just need to do your best to absorb and digest it. Combined with this Ghost King Sutra, you can become a ghost cultivator within half a day."

Fang Chen took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Qingyang.

It records the Ghost King Sutra from the Spirit Ghost Stage to the Ghost General Stage.

It also comes with the ghost cultivation spell from Zheng Pingkang’s inherited memory - possession spell.

Ye Qingyang also noticed this spell at the first time, and understood Fang Chen's plan. He said, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to let me possess my original body as a ghost cultivator?"

"Senior, you have a keen eye. You can see through my thoughts right away."

Fang Chen looked normal, and even praised Ye Qingyang with a smile.

"But after I become a ghost cultivator, the Yin Qi must be extremely heavy, and it will be difficult for it to possess my body for a long time. Moreover, the body of a foundation-building cultivator is not that strong, so it will become a burden to me, right?"

Seeing Fang Chen's performance, Ye Qingyang knew that he was asking for trouble, so he raised two more questions.

"Don't worry, I already have solutions to these two problems. Just focus on becoming a ghost cultivator."

Both of Ye Qingyang’s problems can be solved by using the Blood Spirit Bone Vine or the Body-Forging Blood Vine.

But now he can't let the two coexist with him.

They will all increase the symbiote's resistance to the power of evil spirits, and will greatly slow down Ye Qingyang's progress in transformation.

Ye Qingyang spread false news, and soon a group of foundation-building cultivators will come to investigate. Now is the time to race against time.

Don't waste any time.

Fang Chen opened the ghost domain, and rich Yin spiritual power was released from the ghost domain. Ye Qingyang said nothing more and calmed down to absorb the Yin spiritual power.

Lin Qingshan took out a teleportation palace and calculated the location of the relay space from here to Yueshenfang City.

Zheng Pingkang stood there like a sculpture, protecting the three people.

Half a day passed quickly.

"The power of the Yin Spirit can actually improve the power of the soul to this extent. I feel that I can now open up the Purple Palace and concentrate my spiritual consciousness."

Ye Qingyang, who absorbed a large amount of Yin spiritual power, felt the increase of soul power, and even the burning pain in the Niwan Palace disappeared without a trace.

He was overjoyed and immediately refined his true essence, preparing to try to open up the upper dantian and open up the purple palace.

Then, nothing happened.

There is no true essence, and there is no upper dantian.

"Ah, it turns out that my soul has left my body and I have completely transformed into a ghost cultivator."

Ye Qingyang then realized that even though he had the ability to open up the Purple Palace, he could no longer do it.

At this time, he already had the body of a ghost cultivator.

Standing up, the soul and the body are completely separated, becoming two independent beings.

"Congratulations, senior. You have the strength of a late-stage ghost general, which is comparable to the late-stage foundation building."

At this time, Fang Chen also stopped supplying the Yin spiritual power and congratulated Ye Qingyang.

As for Ye Qingyang's current level of cultivation, Zheng Pingkang told him through telepathy.

Although the other party's cultivation was higher than his own, he had just become a ghost cultivator and was not yet proficient in controlling his power. Zheng Pingkang also successfully detected his cultivation.

"Ugh--"

Ye Qingyang remained indifferent to the compliment.

He feels a little regretful now.

Although he successfully extended his life by two hundred years and retained most of his strength, was it really worth it?
He couldn't help but think back to more than a hundred years ago when he first joined the Tianfeng Sect. He wanted to become an immortal admired by everyone and looked down on all unorthodox practices.

When did he start to be willing to become a ghost cultivator just to survive?
"Senior, are you having trouble adapting to becoming a ghost cultivator? Don't worry, I will help you regain control of your original body."

Fang Chen could probably guess what Ye Qingyang was sighing about, so he stopped wasting time and took out a blood vine for body building. "What is this?"

Looking at this spiritual plant that he had never seen before, Ye Qingyang, who had adjusted his mentality, also asked curiously.

"Body-strengthening blood vine."

Fang Chen answered, then lifted Ye Qingyang's arm, used the Blood God Vine to take out a drop of his blood, and dripped it on the Body-Forging Blood Vine.

As the lord of Yuehua Fairy City, Fang Chen was already accustomed to everything that happened during the symbiosis with the blood vine, and he calmly waited for the entire symbiotic process to end.

Zheng Pingkang and Ye Qingyang were both seeing this scene for the first time and they watched it with great interest.

There was a small incident in the middle. The body that had lost control of the soul would not open its mouth on its own, causing the body-building blood vine that turned into a ray of light and entered Ye Qingyang's body through the nose.

This caused Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan to smile at each other.

"My body is recovering?!"

After the Body-Building Blood Vine completed the symbiosis, Ye Qingyang watched in amazement as his originally lean body quickly became strong, and even more energetic than before.

"Fellow Daoist, you have caused me so much trouble. If you had used this body-strengthening blood vine directly on me, maybe I could have directly opened up the Purple Palace..."

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingyang couldn't help but blame Fang Chen.

"Useless fantasy, your Niwan Palace is damaged. Unless you have natural materials and treasures, it will be extremely difficult to open up the Purple Palace."

Zheng Pingkang directly exposed this lie.

Ever since he discovered that there was no existence corresponding to the Purple Mansion Stage in the ghost cultivation realm, he specifically consulted the tree spirit for some information about the Purple Mansion Stage.

The tree spirit has the memories of all the souls in the ghost realm in its mind, many of which come from demon cultivators, and it has some knowledge in this area.

At least Zheng Pingkang now knows that in order to open up the Purple Mansion, he needs to open up the Niwan Palace, which is the upper Dantian.

Before the body-building blood vine symbiosis, he also took the opportunity to check Ye Qingyang's physical condition and found out that there was a problem with his Niwan Palace.

"Yes, I am obsessed with it."

Ye Qingyang understood his situation better, and he sighed again and said.

"I see."

Fang Chen also realized.

Ye Qingyang is a famous genius with wind spiritual roots.

This is a special spiritual root, which is said to be a mutation of the wood spiritual root and is not much worse than the heavenly spiritual root.

People were surprised that he failed to open up the Purple Palace.

Logically speaking, cultivators with special spiritual roots will not encounter bottlenecks before the Golden Core Stage.

It turned out that it was caused by damage to the Niwan Palace.

"I'll use the possession technique now."

Having his sore spot brought up, Ye Qingyang's mood became noticeably lower, and he was ready to return to his original body.

"Wait a moment."

Fang Chen raised his hand to stop him, then released his spiritual thoughts and probed into his Qi Hai Dantian.

He was looking for Ye Qingyang's spiritual roots.

So far, the residents of Yuehua Fairy City and Yueshen Market all have five elements spiritual roots, and he also wants to see what other spiritual roots are like.

Moreover, Ye Qingyang has an extremely rare wind spiritual root, which makes him even more interested.

This was his second time looking for spiritual roots, so he was familiar with the process. Following the methods recorded in the Blood-sucking Divine Art, his spiritual sense quickly made some discoveries.
