The Path of Ghost Cultivation

Step out of the room!

Qin Yan found no one around, and he didn't know where Daoist Chen had gone.

So Qin Yan strolled around the Azure Sun Abbey, a Daoist temple that had stood for seven generations and over three hundred years.

Especially in the last hundred years or so, the incense offerings have reached their peak.

The deity enshrined in the main hall is the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Patriarch. According to Daoist Chen, the lineage of Azure Sun Abbey was passed down from the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Patriarch.

Looking closely at the statue now, Qin Yan rubbed his eyes, recalling the golden aura he had seen surrounding it.

"How strange, how come we never noticed this golden light before?"

Qin Yan's eyes emitted a red light, and the invisible aura became increasingly apparent.

"Is this the faith and incense of all living beings?!"

He had a guess in his mind, but unfortunately the statue could not gather the incense and golden light.

"Could it be that the gods of this world have disappeared?"

Just as I was thinking this!

The Little Jade Turtle in Qin Yan's soul suddenly stirred, a sudden occurrence that surprised him.

Perceive the surrounding situation.

Qin Yan took out the Jade Turtle, and saw that the invisible golden light of incense was being swallowed up!

Seeing this, Qin Yan immediately put the Jade Turtle away.

"I never imagined this Jade Turtle could absorb the power of incense offerings."

This discovery greatly surprised Qin Yan.

The main reason for taking the Jade Turtle is that there is a powerful figure from the Third Realm here.

If it causes too much of a commotion, it might actually lead to unnecessary trouble.

"I couldn't perceive these religious offerings before, perhaps because my spiritual perception wasn't strong enough."

Now that we know the Jade Turtle can absorb incense offerings, can't we transform them into good fortune?

Qin Yan's eyes lit up.

Azure Sun Abbey must not be disturbed!

However, there are still many temples in Qinghe Town.

The incense offerings at temples are far more plentiful than those at Daoist temples!

Especially in the temples of Qinghe Town, there are very few monks who are truly practicing Buddhism.

Only two or three people are truly able to cultivate the Dharma, and their strength is quite weak; the rest are just ordinary people.

It is true that there are highly accomplished monks in Buddhism, but there are also quite a few who are merely pretending to be monks.

Master Wuci died for the sake of all living beings, and deserves to be remembered and respected by all.

However, these temples in Qinghe Town are quite adept at making money, and they've all become quite wealthy.

"I'll go harvest the incense offerings from these temples another day."

Qin Yan thought to himself!

"Brother Qin, you're here!"

Daoist Chen laughed in surprise, "I couldn't find you in the side room just now, I was looking everywhere for you!"

"What? By the way, where did you all go?"

Qin Yan asked curiously, "I just took a walk around, and none of the Daoist priests in the temple are here."

"They've all gone to the back mountain!"

Upon Daoist Chen's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Recently, my senior master and Red Star Daoist have been trying to seal away the Yin Soul."

Unfortunately, they all failed.

Red Star Daoist said something was missing, but I wasn't sure what it was.

However, the method of cultivating the Ghost Dao has already taken shape.

All the elders and fellow disciples in the temple have gone to protect the Dharma!

Qin Yan was shocked; the method of cultivating the Ghost Dao had actually been created.

An alternative path to immortality has been opened.

If this gets out, it will probably cause a huge uproar, especially among powerful and influential people.

They'd probably go crazy for it.

"Brother Qin, you mustn't talk about this carelessly; it's best to keep it to yourself."

"Don't worry, I know!"

Qin Yan nodded solemnly.

He himself was one of the people who knew about this matter, which is why Daoist Chen did not hide it.

He wouldn't dare utter a single word about it if it were an outsider.

"Alright, it seems Red Star Daoist needs to speak with you!"

Back mountain!

Upon arriving at this place, Qin Yan keenly sensed two sinister Sha Qi from the courtyard.

One of them was Shuyunzi, while the other was relatively unfamiliar!

"Young friend Qin, you've arrived!"

Red Star Daoist's voice rang out. "Come in!"

"Greetings, esteemed seniors."

Upon seeing the two, Qin Yan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting. "Senior Chi Xing, may I ask what brings you here?"

"I heard you took the pills I gave you, and it seems your strength has improved quite a bit."

Red Star Daoist stroked his beard, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.

I could vaguely sense the other person's presence before.

Now he has become completely reserved, and even he himself cannot see through him.

"After some testing with Fellow Shuyunzi, we have successfully transformed one Yin Soul into Ghost Cultivator."

As he spoke, Qin Yan saw another Yin Soul.

It's you!

Qin Yan raised an eyebrow. This successfully transformed Yin Soul was none other than the burly, black-bearded merchant among the traveling merchants in the deserted temple.

Upon seeing it with their own eyes, the other person seemed to recall that night, and fear appeared in their eyes.

"The cultivation of the Ghost Dao, like that of a living person, requires Xiantian aptitude."

Based on my and Red Star Daoist's estimation, it would require at least a considerable level of mental talent.

Shuyunzi said seriously.

"This means that practitioners of Buddhism and Daoism have a high probability of being reborn as Ghost Cultivators after death!"

Qin Yan couldn't help but say.

"This is just a guess at the moment; I still need to conduct a lot of experiments."

After these scoundrels, including heretics and Demon Monks, were executed, their souls were brought back.

At the same time, have the Imperial City Bureau escort the cultivators sentenced to death from the Heavenly Prison!

Red Star Daoist handed Qin Yan a token engraved with the words "Suppress Demons," instructing him to "notify the Demon-Suppression Commandant Youshan Prefecture, as well as the Imperial City Bureau and others."

Do everything in our power to kill these scoundrels! Let them continue to contribute even in death.

You should go to Youzhou Prefecture yourself.

"Your humble servant understands!"

Qin Yan solemnly accepted the token.

Leave Azure Sun Abbey!

"Perfect timing, I can go to the Demon-Suppressing Bureau and see if they have any books with annotations on ancient scripts."

Qin Yan glanced at the token, then vanished from the spot like lightning.

At his current speed, it wouldn't take him long to reach Youshan Prefecture.

"Why did Qin Yan end up in Youshan Prefecture?"

Zhao Zhen was slightly surprised upon receiving the news. "Go and call this kid over."

In no time at all.

Zhao Zhen then looked Qin Yan up and down, a smile on his face, "Not bad, kid, you've grown even stronger."

"Speak, what brings you here, kid?"

Without wasting any words, Qin Yan took out the token given to him by Red Star Daoist.

Upon seeing the token, Zhao Zhen's expression instantly turned to shock.

"Token for the highest-level quest."

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Yan with a serious expression. "Kid, what's the matter? Speak quickly."

Qin Yan nodded and recited the orders given by Red Star Daoist word for word.

Zhao Zhen fell silent upon hearing this.

He knew that a high-ranking official from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau had secretly traveled to Qinghe Town a few days ago.

He didn't even know the specific details.

Receiving this strange command immediately reminded him of the message Qin Yan had once sent him.

Combining the two, he suddenly had a startling guess.

For a moment, Zhao Zhen's emotions surged, and his face showed unconcealed shock.

I struggled to suppress my curiosity.

"I know what to do. I'll cooperate fully in a moment."

I will personally handle the negotiations with the Imperial City Bureau.

You stay here for now, and don't wander off!

"No problem!"

Qin Yan nodded immediately!

He was just about to visit the Demon-Suppressing Bureau's Scripture Pavilion in Youshan Prefecture!
