At some point, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and a rare streak of crimson sunset glow had even appeared.
Since Ye Jingcheng's palace stood atop a mountain in Demon-Quelling City, sunlight naturally streamed through its four-lobed arched windows.
At last, Ye Jingcheng finished taking inventory of all the jade slips and treasures.
Facing the crimson glow, he smiled, his expression exceptionally radiant.
Besides the Thousand Ghosts Qi-Seeking Method, Ye Jingcheng had found over a dozen methods for raising spirit ghosts and dozens of cultivation techniques.
Unlike ordinary ghost-rearing methods, which merely poured resentment, rage, hatred, and fear into the ghosts, these also covered overtaxing malicious ghosts, triggering their abilities, and training them regularly. Some of their finer details even struck Ye Jingcheng as applicable to spirit beasts.
The cultivation techniques, too, differed considerably from those of ordinary righteous-path cultivators.
The most precious technique, and the one that delighted Ye Jingcheng the most, was the Sunflower Origin Nine Mysteries True Canon.
This was also the technique cultivated by Ghost Mystery True Lord and True Lord Yin Yuan. It could take a cultivator all the way to early-stage spirit transformation and included methods for refining two bonded magical treasures.
Not only was this technique immensely powerful and easy to cultivate, but its accompanying ghost banners could also store true essence. For these ghost cultivators, their bonded magical treasures doubled as true essence reservoirs.
This was why evil cultivators and ghost cultivators often seemed to possess even more abundant true essence than righteous-path cultivators who built their foundations steadily, step by step.
In the future, any suitable cultivators in the Ye Family could cultivate this technique.
This was especially true for clansmen without Beast-Link Marks. Their potential was already relatively limited, and ordinary techniques would make it difficult for them
