Wild Ghost Soldier

Chapter 21: Level Two Wild Ghost Soldier

It can be said that for an ordinary person to raise a Low-grade Spirit Ghost and have it keep pace with their own advancement requires a great deal of time, energy, and Essence Blood for cultivation. If they were to raise two, or even three, then almost all of their energy and time would have to be spent on these Spirit Ghosts. Therefore, if the Ghost Soldiers that Spirit Ghosts transform into can keep up in level, they are indeed a very powerful spell. However, for the vast majority of those who primarily cultivate the Ghost Taming Art, raising too many Low-grade Spirit Ghosts often severely impacts their own cultivation progress. But Top Grade Spirit Ghosts are far different. With just a bit of nurturing from a better Soul Nurturing Pagoda, or by casually devouring some Monster Beast flesh and blood, they can quickly advance without the owner needing to spend a lot of time cultivating them. Moreover, the biggest benefit is that the level of Top Grade Spirit Ghosts can quickly surpass their original owner, and the chance of them encountering a bottleneck and not advancing for a long time is very low.

Thus, with a Top Grade Spirit Ghost, Lei Dong could easily obtain a Ghost Soldier that was several tiers stronger than himself. For example, Lei Dong is currently at the Qi Refining Second Layer. With a little effort, a Top Grade Spirit Ghost refined into a Ghost Soldier could quickly advance to level five or six. In such a situation, Lei Dong's combat power would naturally be astonishing.

It is for this reason that possessing an excellent Spirit Ghost, or even a Heavenly Spirit Ghost, can bring one an extremely powerful aid without requiring too much effort.

Although Lei Dong doesn't know what level the Myriad Ghost Ancestor's Top Grade Spirit Ghost has reached now, he can imagine that its individual combat strength and level likely far exceed that of the Myriad Ghost Ancestor himself.

However, Lei Dong's Soul Devouring Pagoda is an anomaly. The Soul Beads condensed after devouring a large number of Yin Souls can not only create Low-grade Spirit Ghosts but also allow Low-grade Spirit Ghosts to advance to Middle Grade. The only problem is that advancing to Middle Grade requires ten Soul Beads. Who knows how many are needed to advance from Middle Grade to Upper Grade? A hundred? Or a thousand? But Lei Dong dares not try, as neither a thousand nor a hundred are something he can gather in a short period.

After all, it takes a full month to devour and produce about ten Soul Beads. Because of this, Lei Dong is already very satisfied with promoting his Ghost Soldier to the Middle Grade level this time. His own aptitude isn't too strong, and if the Ghost Soldier's quality reaches Middle Grade, even if placed in a Soul Nurturing Pagoda, it won't fall too far behind his own realm. Of course, this is assuming he has a decent Soul Nurturing Pagoda.

With a resolute heart, Lei Dong decided to continue staying in Myriad Ghost City to capture Yin Souls and refine Soul Beads, using the Soul Beads to forge another Middle Grade Spirit Ghost to sell. This is because the chance of a Middle Grade Spirit Ghost appearing is a hundred times lower than that of a Low-grade Spirit Ghost. According to the records in the Ghost Taming Art, the proportion of Middle Grade Spirit Ghosts appearing is an astonishing one in a million.🎉✌  👻💲 In other words, if one's luck is average, they would need to encounter over a million Yin Souls to possibly find one Middle Grade Spirit Ghost.

From this, it can be seen that the value of a Middle Grade Spirit Ghost is at least a hundred times that of a Low-grade Spirit Ghost. As for Upper Grade Spirit Ghosts, they are completely items that are priceless and have no market. If one is extremely lucky and appears on the market, it will often attract countless cultivators who practice the Ghost Taming Art, and they will auction it off at an exorbitant price.

But Lei Dong's great advantage lies in his luck.

With just about a month, he can cultivate a Middle Grade Spirit Ghost whose price would definitely be above a Thousand Spirits. Once he has a Thousand Spirits, buying a better Soul Nurturing Pagoda will be much easier.

Day after day, when the Yin Souls in a certain mass grave became scarce, Lei Dong would quickly move to another location. Fortunately, there are countless such ordinary Yin Soul gathering places within a radius of several hundred miles around Myriad Ghost City. If we include the entire area of the Yin Sha Sect, there are innumerable such places. However, Lei Dong only dares to go to some dangerous places that have not been formed for more than a hundred years. With his current cultivation, going to well-known dangerous places would very likely lead him to encounter more powerful Level Two Wild Ghost Soldiers, or even Wild Ghost Guards. That would be far from worth it, and he might even lose his life there.

Time is the greatest power. Even those Inferior Ghosts that have no particular use, if they wander, hunt, and survive in Yin Sha Lands for a very long time, they will slowly evolve into Ghost Soldiers, devouring flesh and blood, and even other Yin Souls. Over time, for example, after several hundred or even a thousand years, they will also become quite powerful. However, their growth rate is far inferior to that of Spirit Ghosts.

But the most terrifying are those Spirit Ghosts that survive for years and evolve into Ghost Soldiers on their own. Even if not artificially raised, as long as they have good luck and suitable conditions, Spirit Ghost Soldiers can grow to a very terrifying extent. With his Qi Refining Second Layer strength, he truly dares not run around recklessly. He can only go to mass grave yin lands that are only a few decades old.

After all, the Yin Sha Sect is an Evil Sect, and they will deliberately cultivate, or even intentionally create semi-artificial mass graves in Yin Sha Lands, in order to facilitate the formation of Yin Souls and provide endless resources for the sect. They can also provide a place for junior disciples to gain experience.

Because even within the territory of the Myriad Ghost Cave, there are at least hundreds of similar mass graves. Lei Dong doesn't have to worry about a lack of Inferior Ghosts in the short term. Moreover, he doesn't have to worry about people becoming suspicious if Inferior Ghosts become scarce in the places he visits. Firstly, Inferior Ghosts are worthless, and almost no one pays attention to them. Secondly, few people would release Inferior Ghosts after capturing them. At least Inferior Ghosts have a few minor uses, the most common being as food for Spirit Ghost servants, or for refining Magic Tools like the Myriad Ghost Banner.

Bang~

With a loud explosion, a pit about a meter in diameter was blasted out under Lei Dong's feet. Fortunately, before the Sha Lei fell, Lei Dong, relying on his Qi Refining Second Layer cultivation and Cloud Ascending Boots, had already leaped away in an instant. But even so, glancing at the crater, Lei Dong broke out in a cold sweat, his face turning somewhat pale.

The Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier let out a sharp cry, raising its shield to swat away the Level Two Wild Ghost Soldier that had almost harmed its master. Blade Qi swirled, and Yin Wind blew. It desperately entangled with it.

When the Ghost Soldier first detected this Level Two Wild Ghost Soldier, Lei Dong was quite overjoyed. He controlled the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier to fight it, while he hid behind and shot with the Ink Green Small Sword. However, he never expected that this Wild Ghost Soldier would possess such an astonishing innate spell as Sha Lei, almost killing the careless Lei Dong with a single blast.

Watching the Level Two Wild Ghost Soldier being forced to retreat repeatedly by the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier, letting out continuous Ghost Howls, Lei Dong's face also showed a look of pity. A Wild Ghost Soldier with such talented spells should have evolved from a Spirit Ghost. However, once a Spirit Ghost evolves into a Ghost Soldier on its own, although it can be captured and brought into the Soul Nurturing Pagoda, it can no longer be used to be taken as a Blood Sacrifice Ghost Servant with the Ghost Taming Art.

However, it's not that these Wild Ghost Soldiers are completely useless. The Yin Sha Sect has another kind of Ghost Taming Technique, which is specifically used to collect these Lonesome Wild Ghosts and refine them into the Myriad Ghost Banner. The most powerful Myriad Ghost Banners, when fighting an enemy, unleash myriad ghosts, creating a grand spectacle and formidable power. But because the Wild Ghost Soldiers have already evolved Intelligence, their Intelligence must first be refined and erased, leaving only their instincts. Thus, the Ghost Soldiers in the Myriad Ghost Banner are far inferior to Blood Sacrifice Ghost Soldiers in terms of combat power. Moreover, Ghost creatures refined with the Myriad Ghost Banner, even those originating from Heavenly Spirit Ghosts, have little chance of further advancement.

This is precisely why Lei Dong felt pity. To possess Blood Sacrifice Ghost Soldiers, one must refine and fuse with a Spirit Ghost while it is still in the Yin Soul state, before its Intelligence has opened. However, although this Wild Ghost Soldier cannot be taken as a subordinate, it is an excellent supplement for the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier. After calming himself slightly, Lei Dong immediately and cautiously drove his Ink Green Small Sword, transforming into a streak of green, and fiercely stabbed towards the Wild Ghost Soldier.
