Douluo's Peerless: Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

His aura visibly grew stronger.

Several minutes later.

Electrolux slowly opened his eyes. His aura had returned to simplicity and fully receded, while wisdom gleamed in his eyes.

"Interesting."

"I never expected such a journey after death, nor to meet like-minded friends."

"This is my method for training spiritual power. You may take a look."

Electrolux raised his hand and released two motes of light. One drifted toward Zhuge Lan, and when it merged with him, he discovered that it contained not only information, but also an extremely abundant amount of ownerless spiritual power.

After digesting it slightly, he absorbed it.

It was all converted into psychic power, enough to roughly triple the amount.

Rewrote the fates of Electrolux, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Huo Yuhao. +25,000 Luck Value!

—Special offer for Huo Yuhao.

Heh!

He had earned back a third of it.

This spiritual power training method was, more precisely, two skills.

—Undead Sacrifice: Allowed undead to willingly turn into nourishment and strengthen the host's spiritual power!

—Purifying Light: Removed spiritual impurities, increased purity, and eliminated negative effects!

One light, one dark. It suited Electrolux's identity as a light-element undead archmage perfectly.

As for the source of undead materials, that was simple too. Electrolux had an Undead Demi-plane, and it was full of undead.

But here came the problem—he could not learn the stuff!

Unless he used Luck Value.

Learn Undead Demi-plane: 10,000 Luck Value!

Learn Undead Sacrifice: 40,000 Luck Value!

Learn Purifying Light: 50,000 Luck Value!

Altogether, that was 100,000 Luck Value, even more than awakening psychic power.

One or two did not seem too expensive, but what about when his spiritual world became more crowded in the future?

Therefore.

Zhuge Lan set his sights on Electrolux.

"These three skills seem like things you can handle for us, right?"

The moment Electrolux heard that, he understood Zhuge Lan's plan.

—He wanted to freeload off him.

"I won't make you work for nothing." Zhuge Lan smiled. "At 100,000 Luck Value per person, I'll use it all to restore your strength."

Electrolux looked at Zhuge Lan with a faintly amused expression.

That sounded nice.

When Huo Yuhao encountered trouble in the future, could he really refuse to lend a hand?

In the end, it was still an investment in Huo Yuhao.

Still, now that they were all residing in someone else's spiritual world, paying a little "rent" was only proper.

"Very well," Electrolux agreed. "But save the Luck Value for now. I prefer peace and quiet, and I wish to create a Second Spiritual Sea."

"That won't be necessary." Zhuge Lan revealed a spoiler. "Before long, Little Yuhao will obtain Life Gold. That will be enough for you to open up a Second Spiritual Sea."

Electrolux raised a brow and nodded.

"Then let us give it a try."

He beckoned.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual body appeared. He looked at the three of them as though he had just awakened from a dream.

What happened?

Electrolux looked at Zhuge Lan, and Zhuge Lan looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."

Who told it to contribute nothing? It deserved to do the hard work.

It stepped forward and explained everything to Huo Yuhao.

"This is a good thing." Huo Yuhao smiled. "What do you need me to do?"

"Little Yuhao, I need to borrow your body for a moment," Electrolux said. "The first time the Undead Demi-plane is opened, it requires a medium in reality. It will not be needed afterward."

Huo Yuhao nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"No problem!"

"It's just that Wang Dong and I are cultivating together right now. Will that affect anything?"

"Should I go outside and find an open area?"

"It will not matter," Electrolux said.

The next moment.

He took control of Huo Yuhao's body. Without making any visible movement, he traced a gray six-pointed magic formation in the air.

An eerie, gloomy aura spread outward. Then gray light flashed.

Something filled the entire dormitory. Before they could inspect it closely, the mysterious object twisted into a vortex and entered Huo Yuhao's glabella.

Inside the spiritual world.

A translucent Eight-Clawed Octopus over a hundred meters tall was about to roar at the sky. Upon seeing Electrolux, it froze, then promptly prostrated itself on the ground.

"God! You have finally summoned your people!"

"Did you summon me this time to wipe out these little fish?"

It raised its tentacles and pointed at Zhuge Lan, Huo Yuhao, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"No." Electrolux said calmly, "Tear off your tentacles and sacrifice them as spiritual nourishment for us."

The Eight-Clawed Undead was as decisive as Huo Yuhao had been. Seven tentacles lashed out at once, tearing off the remaining one. It then split it evenly into two portions, and divided one of those portions into three smaller pieces.

One large and three small portions turned into gray streams of light, burning as they flew into Zhuge Lan and the other three.

Zhuge Lan felt his spiritual power surge severalfold, but a violent, frenzied emotion immediately rose within him.

—The methods of evil cultivators improved strength quickly, but they often came with side effects.

Electrolux raised the sword in his left hand. Dazzling yet gentle golden light shone forth, splitting into one large and three small streams that entered their bodies.

The frenzied emotions were suppressed, and the spiritual power that had just been amplified was temporarily sealed as well.

Yet the golden light continuously flowed out spiritual power. There were no longer any negative effects; it was pure and of extremely high quality.

With only a little compression, it could be converted into psychic power.

"Hm?" Electrolux said in surprise. "The quality of this psychic power is actually higher than purified spiritual power. It is only slightly inferior to my remnant soul, and it can even directly manipulate physical objects. Truly fascinating."

Zhuge Lan was extremely quick on the uptake.

He spent 80,001 Luck Value and awakened psychic power for Electrolux.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."

Unlike the pain and lengthy process when Huo Yuhao had awakened, Electrolux merely closed his eyes and sensed it for several seconds.

"So this is psychic power."

"The system from your side is truly interesting, Zhuge. I really want to visit it someday."

He wanted to visit Swallowed Star?

That would be difficult.

Zhuge Lan had tried it when he was bored before. That endless string of zeros had made his eyes spin.

And Swallowed Star's power system completely crushed the Divine Seal and Douluo planes.

The gap was simply too great.

But then again.

For Electrolux, who had long stood lonely at the peak, perhaps starting over would be more appealing?

"If there is an opportunity, you can."

During their brief exchange.

Electrolux released golden light once more, replacing the previous mass.

This time, what flowed out was pure psychic power.

—Except for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's portion.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: o(╥﹏╥)o

"This spiritual power will be enough to purify for more than half a month." Electrolux frowned. "It is still too weak. Otherwise, it could be refined in an instant."

"It's enough, it's enough." Zhuge Lan said with satisfaction. "You can grow stronger just by lying down without cultivating. What more could you ask for?"

"Huh?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared at the Seven-Clawed Undead. "Can't its tentacles regenerate?"

The Seven-Clawed Undead cast it an displeased glance. Its missing tentacle regrew in an instant, though its aura weakened somewhat.

"Alright, go back first." Electrolux waved his hand.

A gray six-pointed star flashed beneath the Eight-Clawed Undead's feet, and it vanished from the spiritual world, sent back to the Undead Demi-plane.

—Summoning it required a real-world anchor, but sending it back did not.

Once this batch of undead spiritual power was used up, they could simply summon them again for sacrifice.

"Little Yuhao, you should go back and cultivate as well," Electrolux said. "Zhuge, let us discuss this psychic power. It interests me greatly."

"I happen to have plenty of ideas I can share with you," Zhuge Lan said happily.

If a powerful backer wanted to be free labor, he was more than willing.

He explained the Psychic Master system from Swallowed Star, then selected various Psychic Master secret techniques and analyzed them in detail.

Electrolux was extremely interested in "laws."

Especially after hearing that laws could be comprehended, applied, and fused, he became even more eager to visit that world.

"In my world, laws are something only gods can grasp."

"In your world, one can comprehend them not long after beginning cultivation?"

"What a marvelous and open world!"

Zhuge Lan shook a finger.

"Swallowed Star is only one of the planes I have visited. It is not the world I come from."

—Roaming through a sea of books still counted as visiting them.

Electrolux was even more astonished. There were other planes as well?

Seeing his intense interest, Zhuge Lan simply began telling him about them one by one.

Ice Fire Chef, where one entered the Dao through cooking!

A world of Immortal Cultivation, where mortals defied the heavens!

The Great Sea, infused with demonic power!

Battle Through the Heavens, with battle qi and alchemy!
