Weird Skin, Soaring Cultivation

If the extraordinary self-healing ability of his skin and flesh filled Li Feng with delight...

Then something else struck him as rather Paranormal Entity.

Li Feng looked at the floor, where a bloody, mangled patch of skin lay riddled with holes. Even separated from his body, it was still writhing faintly.

Some neighboring pieces even showed signs of merging when they touched.

And Li Feng still had a clear connection to them.

Looking at that Paranormal Entity skin, Li Feng's mouth twitched. He felt that his Skin Tempering had not only broken through the limitations of the Human Body Tempering Art, but had also become somewhat Paranormal Entity.

Still, his tempered hair could remain active and under his control for a while after leaving his body.

So perhaps it wasn't entirely inexplicable for his skin to retain such powerful vitality after being detached... right?

However, perhaps because it was too badly damaged, that patch of skin never healed or merged together. It gradually lost all vitality, becoming a patch of torn, dead skin.

Yet this dead skin was exceptionally tough. When Li Feng chopped it with a kitchen knife, he left nothing more than a pale mark.

Only after burning it in the stove for quite a while did he finally reduce it to ash.

After dealing with all this, Li Feng looked at his own skin, especially the nearly healed patch on the back of his hand, and couldn't shake an odd feeling.

He felt that continuing to temper his skin would bring about some Paranormal Entity changes.

But he was unwilling to stop cultivating just because of that.

Besides, the other cultivation methods didn't seem much better.

At that thought, Li Feng gradually put his mind at ease.

Who cares what changes happen? As long as I can grow stronger and keep them under my control, there's no problem.

Then Li Feng began taking stock of what he had gained.

His Mind Fog had expanded to twenty meters, and he had gained control over a portion of the Ghost Eye's power.

Sensing the fist-sized mass of Paranormal Entity power in his Mind Space, which had spontaneously taken the shape of an eyeball, dark and shot through with scarlet, Li Feng smiled.

From the information that had entered his mind, he learned that its abilities were identical to those of the previous Ghost Eye. Attached to an object, it could form a Ghost Eye belonging to Li Feng.

However, if he wanted to strengthen a Ghost Eye created this way, he would have to find a method himself.

Unlike other Ghost Eyes, they could draw on the Ghost Eye Main Body's power and instantly advance once certain conditions were met.

But given the choice, Li Feng would certainly choose what he had now.

Although it couldn't advance rapidly, it was much safer.

Sensing that mass of power in his Mind Space, Li Feng pondered for a moment, then ultimately decided against merging it into his eyes.

He still wanted to change his body through his own cultivation.

Whatever the final outcome, it would be the result of his own efforts.

In that case...

Li Feng turned his gaze toward the Ghost Cat, Chief.

Chief's eyes could see both the living and the dead, as well as supernatural power. Weren't they a perfect match for the Ghost Eye's abilities?

Moreover, Li Feng could directly use Chief's power and abilities through the Myriad Ghosts Body-Merging Art.

That would hardly differ from merging with the Ghost Eye itself.

With that in mind, Li Feng hesitated no longer. He immediately directed the Ghost Eye's power into Chief's eyes, little by little.

Since both were now considered Li Feng's Ghost Servants, there was no conflict between them. Instead, they merged smoothly.

However, Chief was only a Vengeful Ghost of the lowest rank. After absorbing just under half the power, Chief could take no more.

Li Feng didn't force the matter.

After some thought, Li Feng merged the remaining power into the Weird Mirror.

Once the fusion was complete, Li Feng stood in the middle of the living room and formed a hand seal, instantly invoking the Ghost Cat Chief's power.

Ghostly energy flowed into his body. A dim light flashed through Li Feng's eyes, and the scene before him changed instantly, the lighting growing a few shades darker.

Faint crimson power, carrying a rich aura of life, traced a winding path back and forth through the room.

And its ultimate source was Li Feng himself.

Because his eerie Vengeful Ghost power was sealed away, the only power leaking from Li Feng was the vigorous vitality and powerful blood energy produced by his body tempering.

Through the Ghost Eye, it appeared as crimson power brimming with vitality.

After surveying his surroundings with satisfaction, Li Feng withdrew Chief's power.

Sure enough, it was no different from merging with the Ghost Eye himself.

Then, with a thought, Li Feng summoned the Weird Mirror before him.

A dim light flashed across its surface, instantly connecting it to the surrounding mirrors.

At that moment, everything that could serve as a mirror throughout the entire building came within Li Feng's perception.

Through these mirrors, he could freely observe whatever lay before them, travel between their surfaces, or launch attacks.

There was nothing surprising about observing things through mirrors. That had always been the Weird Mirror's ability.

Before it merged with the Ghost Eye's power, however, the scenes he observed through mirrors had been perfectly ordinary.

Now, everything he saw through them carried a layer of radiance of varying brightness, with wisps of power lingering around it.

Even inanimate objects like tables, chairs, and stools bore an extremely faint glow.

Places where people often sat glowed more brightly.

Animals and humans shone even brighter, and their radiance varied in color according to their physical condition.

Most people had a gentle, bright glow in soft, varied colors.

Some people's radiance, however, was dull gray, even wreathed in black energy.

Most of these people were frail or gravely ill, looking close to death.

Others were enveloped in radiance far stronger than anyone else's, blazing with vivid colors.

These people were generally strong and healthy, their faces ruddy, everything going their way...

Some people also had an eerie black glow enveloping them beyond their radiance, with dark clouds looming overhead.

They had most likely encountered eerie beings, demons, or ghosts and become tainted by their power.

Li Feng turned toward the window of apartment 302 on the third floor of the building opposite.

Its resident was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Through a mirror, Li Feng had observed that this was the man tainted by Paranormal Entity power.

The Paranormal Entity power clinging to him was extremely faint. The Tracking Compass's complete lack of reaction made that clear.

Yet the Weird Mirror, now merged with the Ghost Eye's power, revealed it effortlessly.

"What a pity..."

Li Feng inwardly lamented. Although merging with the Ghost Eye's power had strengthened the Weird Mirror's abilities...

Its range had not changed.

It still covered only a hundred-meter radius.

Otherwise, he could have used the Weird Mirror to lock onto that man and see whether he could track down a Paranormal Entity.

Still, crossing paths means we have a connection.

With a thought from Li Feng, wisps of fog rose before him and passed through the Weird Mirror into the apartment opposite.

The barely visible veil of fog swept over the man, instantly devouring every trace of Paranormal Entity power clinging to him.

"Huh?"

Xie Wei felt only a cool breeze brush across his face. His body suddenly felt lighter, and his somewhat muddled mind became clear again.

He looked around. Everything was normal.

Xie Wei shook his head, dismissing what had just happened as his imagination.

What he failed to notice was the wisps of fog slipping into the mirror behind him.

After devouring the Paranormal Entity power clinging to Xie Wei, Li Feng recalled the Weird Mirror with a thought, severing its connection to the surrounding mirrors.

Then Li Feng began his cultivation for the day.

Having just devoured an enormous amount of power, the Mind Fog naturally made his cultivation incredibly fast.

As waves of intense pain struck, his skin strengthened at a rocket-like pace, and Li Feng's perception of it and control over it improved just as swiftly.

By the end, it could even respond instantly to his thoughts.

His subsequent visualization practice likewise made tremendous progress.

He had barely begun cultivating before the Second Bedroom rapidly solidified, while the study and kitchen also began taking shape at great speed.

By the end, the study had become fully solid, the kitchen was halfway there, and even a phantom outline of the bathroom had formed through visualization.

The entire apartment, with its three bedrooms and two living areas spanning over a hundred square meters, was on the verge of fully materializing.

This filled Li Feng with anticipation. He wondered what abilities it would possess once the entire apartment had taken shape.

As for the abilities of the newly formed Second Bedroom and study...

Because the Second Bedroom was a bedroom like the Master Bedroom, its ability was identical, only slightly weaker.

However, once the Second Bedroom fully solidified alongside the Master Bedroom, the two jointly produced a new ability: Dual Focus.

Although he could only do this while fully focused and with a clear, tranquil mind, it was already an exceptionally valuable ability.

During cultivation in particular, Li Feng could even temper his body while practicing visualization, saving himself a great deal of time.

The study's formation allowed some of the memories and knowledge in Li Feng's mind to manifest within it as projections in the form of books.

In a sense, it was somewhat similar to the Weird Library.

However, because it originated from Li Feng's own mind, it only organized his existing knowledge, allowing him to retrieve and examine it with a thought. It couldn't affect anything outside, so it amounted to having a photographic memory.

Over the following days, Li Feng's life returned to a regular routine. He spent most of his time cultivating, occasionally going out to search the surrounding area for eerie entities and Vengeful Ghosts.

He returned empty-handed most of the time, but he did find two or three weak Vengeful Ghosts and one weak Paranormal Entity.

After devouring them, Li Feng's various powers received another modest boost.

As he continued cultivating, Li Feng felt his skin gradually reach a certain limit, as though it was about to undergo another transformation.

The kitchen and dining room in his Mind Space had both taken shape, granting him the ability to gather World Spiritual Force while preparing food.

Although it couldn't compare to Ghost Delivery, it was still an extremely useful supporting ability.

The bathroom also needed only a little more before it could fully solidify.

In short, the entire apartment within his Mind Space was on the verge of completing its final formation.

At this point, however, Li Feng had completely digested both the Ghost Eye's power he had devoured and the power of the eerie entities and Vengeful Ghosts he occasionally consumed outside.

For the time being, he could no longer improve as rapidly as before.

Being just one step away from completing the final transformation, yet unable to break through no matter how long he waited, left Li Feng deeply frustrated.
