Extracting Spirituality

It didn't take much time to capture the Heart Fire Paper Doll.

Because his Divine Sense far surpassed that of the paper figure, the Heart Fire had absolutely no effect on him.

The paper figure had no other means besides this, and was easily subdued by him.

Qin Fei took out a jade box and stuffed the paper figure into it.

Following the Mnemonic taught to him by the Big Yellow, he drew a lightning spell in the air and pressed it onto the jade box.

Two chains of lightning suddenly appeared on the paper figure's hands and feet; if it struggled even slightly, it would be instantly electrocuted and convulse.

In the end, the paper figure dared not make any more moves and lay obediently inside the jade box.

"How about my Five Lightning Ghost-Suppressing Technique? Not only can it imprison evil spirits, but it can also suppress their aura. That Ghost Mother won't be able to sense anything, not even if you stand right in front of her."

The Big Yellow held its head high, extremely arrogant.

Qin Fei didn't bother arguing with him and looked towards the battlefield to the side.

The scene over there was extremely brutal. Iron Guard was pressing down on the paper figure's head with one hand, while his other hand was clenched into a fist and he was punching the paper figure's mouth repeatedly.

A mouthful of fangs fell to the ground, and the paper figure's face was filled with terror.

"That's enough, spare its life for now."

Iron Guard immediately stopped and, holding the paper figure, brought it to Qin Fei.

The paper figure was no longer as frantic as before; its eyes were filled with fear, and it wished it could find a crack in the wall to hide in.

Qin Fei used the Five Lightning Ghost-Suppressing Technique again to put it into the jade box.

He then swept one hand up and pulled the fang that had fallen to the ground into his hand.

"It's a decent material for refining weapons, but there's just too little of it."

Qin Fei shook his head slightly, put away the fangs, and then put the Storage Bag of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators into his own pocket before soaring into the air and rushing towards the dome.

The grand mansion, once filled with distinguished guests, is now deserted.

Wrong.

Qin Fei turned to look at the altar.

The Blood Gu Rogue Person was seen crawling with difficulty, half of his body hanging from his body, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

He didn't die.

Qin Fei was somewhat surprised, and leaped to the man's side.

The Blood Gu Rogue Person's body was reduced to half its original size, and at the severed point, a cluster of Gu worms were applied, seemingly for healing purposes.

That's why he survived.

Seeing that his path was blocked, Blood Gu Rogue Person raised his head.

He didn't recognize Qin Fei, but upon sensing the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his heart skipped a beat.

"Fellow Daoist, we shouldn't have any grudges against each other, right? I've already suffered enough to become like this. I hope you can spare my life."

He thought Qin Fei was a passing Bandit Cultivator trying to take advantage of the chaos.

However, Qin Fei shook his head and said calmly:

"Fellow Daoist, you captured me and used Gu poison on me. How can you say there's no enmity between us?"

Blood Gu Rogue Person's breath hitched slightly. He cursed his subordinates inwardly for their stupidity, but forced a smile onto his face.

"There might be some misunderstanding here, fellow cultivator..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Fei stretched out a hand and placed it on his head.

The last few pages of the "Creation Spirit-Bestowing Scripture" record two secret techniques that can imbue puppets with sentience.

One of them is called the Soul-Seizing Technique, which can extract the soul and spirit of a dying cultivator or Demon Beast.

Another secret technique is called the Spirit-Bestowing Technique, which can imbue extracted spiritual energy into puppets.

When used together, the puppets created can grow flesh and blood, appearing indistinguishable from real living beings, and may even possess some kind of Divine Ability of the soul-snatching creature.

Now that a dying Foundation Establishment cultivator is right in front of him, how could Qin Fei let this opportunity slip by?

Blood Gu Rogue Person was horrified, followed by a heart-wrenching pain.

It was a hundred times more painful than when the body was severed, as if the soul had been ripped out.

He was already at his last gasp, clinging to life with his last breath, and now he has breathed his last.

In Qin Fei's hand, there was now a pale blue ball of light, which was the spiritual essence within the Blood Gu Rogue Person's soul.

He made a hand Method Formula and sent out several soft white beams of light towards the ball of spiritual light, protecting it from dissipating for the time being.

After doing all this, he took out a jade bottle and sealed the spiritual energy within it using Secret Method.

This place is not suitable for imbuing the Iron Guard with spirit; Qin Fei plans to return home before proceeding to the next step.

However, before that, we need to check the Gu worm statue.

The blood that flowed during the ceremony had already soaked the ground, and many of the cultivators' corpses were immersed in it.

The stone statue began to shake violently, and pieces of its outer skin peeled off, revealing swarms of Gu worms driving it inside.

Qin Fei frowned and unleashed a palm strike, instantly peeling off the entire surface of the stone statue.

Only then did he realize what the Gu worms were doing: they were reproducing.

Each new larva devours its parents upon birth, and then continues to reproduce, giving birth to new larvae.

Reproduction continued, but the number of insects dwindled.

This continued for a full hour, until only one crystal-clear larva remained on the ground.

This worm was plump and white; it tried to roll over, but ended up rolling a long way away.

Qin Fei almost laughed. The stone statue that the Blood Gu Rogue Person had been worshipping for so long turned out to be such a tiny creature.

After pondering for a moment, he put the Gu worms into a jade box, then set fire to various places, burning the entire mansion to the ground.

Gazing at the raging fire, Qin Fei no longer hesitated, broke through the barrier, and soared into the sky.

After leaving the Blood Gu Sect, he suppressed his cultivation level, pretended to be an ordinary Evil Cultivator, and headed towards the Heavenly Pivot District.

Although flying through the air could save a lot of time, the paper figure was ultimately related to the Ghost Mother.

That's Core Formation Cultivator; he doesn't want to be captured and forced into prostitution, so it's best to keep a low profile.

Five days later.

In front of an old house in the southeast corner of Heavenly Pivot District, a group of cultivators eagerly awaited their arrival.

Before long, a blue flying boat came from the horizon.

From a distance, a man in black robes stood at the bow of the boat, with two children standing behind him.

The flying boat landed on the ground, Xu Meiniang immediately hugged her two children and burst into tears.

Tang Zhan bowed deeply and remained seated for a long time.

"Brother Qin, I can never repay your kindness in saving me. Thank you so much!"

Xu Meiniang also came over, leading two children.

"Come quickly and kowtow to your Uncle Qin."

The two children were very well-behaved; they bowed and kowtowed three times and nine times, their foreheads bleeding, yet they didn't utter a single sound.

Qin Fei helped the two up and said to Tang Zhan:

"That's too serious. How did things come to this?"

The others also came up to congratulate him, but no one dared to make any more jokes.

Although everyone got along well, Qin Fei had become Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, and it was difficult for him to be as unrestrained as before.

Qin Fei also noticed this and sighed inwardly. This was a barrier brought about by their different statuses, which could only be resolved with time.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time since we've gathered. Shall we drink until we drop tonight?"

Everyone had this idea in their hearts for a long time, but they hadn't dared to say it. Now, they naturally cheered.

"Let's Gathering Immortals Pavilion. The manager has left the Lin Household and is running his own business. It's much smaller now, but the taste shouldn't be any different."

When the Lin Household was mentioned, everyone sighed with regret.

A beast tide nearly wiped out most of the Lin Household's cultivators; even the Second Elder and Third Elder, both Foundation Establishment, failed to escape.

There was no other way; they were at the very front of the line and suffered the first and most intense attack.

On the contrary, Tang Zhan and his group were in a good position in the middle section and escaped by using Zhang Yu's car.

The Lu Household also suffered heavy losses in the beast tide, with even their ancestor perishing in the chaos, leaving only a Foundation Establishment Early Stage struggling to hold on.

The two powerful Lineage that once held sway Shangyu Market Shangyufang are now a thing of the past.

And a new star is rising.
