First Mission

"Today was the day to begin cultivation. I had planned to use the Yin Baleful Qi stored in the Cosmic Bag's memory, but judging by your current condition, there probably isn't much Yin Baleful Qi left in the bag, is there?" Shen Luo said upon hearing this.

"Reporting to Master, this subordinate has indeed absorbed all the Yin Baleful Qi. However, the Yin Baleful Qi that entered this subordinate's body has become even purer and may be drawn upon by Master at will." The Ghost General immediately clasped his fists and replied.

He pointed two fingers through the air at the Ghost General, and a wisp of pure Yin Baleful Qi began to drift toward the talisman markings on his arm.

The talisman markings lit up, and that dense, gnawing pain like ants and silkworms eating at his flesh struck again. Shen Luo immediately focused his mind and carefully began to perform the Mysterious Yin Meridian Opening technique.
