Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

The flames left behind by the Qingyou Ghost Fire after its death were similar to themselves, a small dark blue flame that looked like their offspring.

But Gu Xing did not feel any biological fluctuations on it, only pure power and strange aura.

The power above was extremely weak, but when Gu Xing touched it, he felt a burning pain in his soul.

So, he took out a few wooden containers from the storage magic weapon and Gu Xing carefully placed the flames in them.

These flames are very special. They will not ignite ordinary objects and do not usually require combustible materials to maintain combustion.

However, if you let it continue to burn like this, it will gradually go out.

Gu Xing didn't care much about this. His original intention was to refine these materials into a strange weapon, and he was too lazy to find a way to keep it burning.

Refining a strange weapon is not just talk, it can be successfully refined with ease.

For familiar strange materials, refining them may not be too difficult. After all, you have sufficient understanding of their properties. All you need to do are some minor things such as adjusting the amount of auxiliary materials and controlling the temperature of the true qi refining.

However, if you are unfamiliar with strange materials, you have to study them carefully to determine their various properties, as well as what ritual methods and auxiliary materials to use to maximize their power.

Unfortunately, Gu Xing had never seen or heard of this quiet ghost fire.

There is no such strangeness in the territory of Da Zhou, which is actually a bit strange. After all, with such strange birth conditions, it should also appear in Da Zhou where there are relatively more humans.

However, Gu Xing didn't think too much about it. He asked the female merman to dig a cave and then began to study it carefully.

Sally felt a little bored without Chen Erniu as her companion, so she started to harass Duanjian.

Broken Sword was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by her.

But I had no choice but to accompany her to kill the boring time.

Gu Xing saw it, but didn't say much.

He simply looked at the map in the strange book in his mind again, and then compared it with the previous map, confirming that if he continued to go south along the river, he would most likely arrive at Lilliput first.

After confirming this, he put the map back and continued to study the flames left by the ghost fire.

Because Gu Xing had never seen the material of flame before, it took him two full days to research it.

However, he was not in the cave all the time during these two days.

He basically travels during his free time, and only stops to study at mealtime and in the evening.

Therefore, the total research time is only about one day.

Then, Gu Xing began the ritual.

As he had anticipated the unexpected, he had already prepared a lot of auxiliary materials during the Great Week, so there was nothing missing in his calculations now.

The first ritual naturally ended in failure.

Gu Xing did not have any negative emotions because of this. He just silently summarized his mistakes and successes as well as the points that still need improvement.

Then, we continued on our way.

When it was time for dinner, he began his next ritual.

After repeating this process of traveling and refining, Gu Xing finally succeeded in refining a mid-grade strange weapon for the fourth time.

However, the strange weapon refined this time was not what he wished for. It was a strange weapon that could defend against attacks from the soul.

Moreover, on the contrary, this strange weapon can also actively launch mental attacks.

Gu Xing looked at the dark blue flame in front of him, which was about the size of a bean sprout, and felt the information it conveyed back after being infused with true energy, and felt a little worried.

The power of this strange weapon is similar to that of the ghostly will-o'-the-wisp. As long as it is thrown at the enemy, it can devour his soul.

Moreover, as more souls are devoured, the power of this strange weapon will continue to increase.

It's almost like saying it's a growing weapon.

However, the cost of using it is somewhat serious.

Each time you use it, you must expend some soul power to make it burn, so that when it falls on the enemy, it can have the effect of devouring the soul.

Although the amount of soul power consumed is not much, the loss of every bit of soul power is extremely serious.

Therefore, Gu Xing felt mixed emotions about the tiny flame in front of him.

The good news is that this strange weapon, as a rare spiritual attack weapon, can make up for Gu Xing's lack of ability in this area.

What worries me is naturally the cost of this strange weapon. If I use it too much, it might be so serious that it will affect my cultivation.

Therefore, he gave it the name Soul-Devouring Ghost Flame and Gu Xing put it back into the storage magic weapon in a wooden container.

Gu Xing had only obtained six ghostly blue flames in total, and he had used four of them, leaving two.

He thought about it and decided to complete the ritual of refining the remaining two flames in one go.

It’s a pity that although he had a successful experience once, Gu Xing failed in the next two rituals.

This made him feel a little regretful, after all, it was not easy to find a monster that was good at mental attacks.

But he had no choice but to work hard on practicing the Phantom Water Shield, hoping to one day master it to perfection.

They continued on their journey, and since they no longer needed to sacrifice the strange weapon, their speed suddenly increased.

Another three days passed, and as soon as they got ashore, Sally jumped happily on Gu Xing's shoulders.

"Brother, I'm home. My home is just ahead. I'm finally back."

Listening to Sally's joyful voice, Gu Xing couldn't help but smile.

The somewhat depressing atmosphere these days due to Chen Erniu's departure seemed to be broken at this moment.

"Which way are you going?" Gu Xing asked with a smile.

"Over there, big brother, over there, I remember this place. I used to come here to play with Ailan and the others. We found a kind of ant here, and it tastes delicious when roasted..."

As the saying goes, one becomes homesick when close to home, but there seems to be no such phrase in Sally's mind.

The closer she got to Lilliput, the more excited she became, as if she couldn't wait to fly to the sky.

Even the broken sword was held by her and kept being whipped.

Gu Xing's ears were about to explode, but he just smiled and let her do what she wanted.

But at this moment, his steps suddenly stopped, and then he looked up in one direction.

There, a small hill slowly moved towards them.

Just when Gu Xing thought something was strange, he looked closely and found that it was not a hill, but a huge box.

The box was made of wood, but it scraped against the surrounding rocks without leaving any marks.

And under the box, there was a person.

The man looked nothing special, just an ordinary guy, but he was carrying the mountain-like box and walking easily.

"That's the peddler." Sally whispered in his ear, "I'm so lucky, I have delicious food again today."

The peddler carried the box and walked in one direction.

Gu Xing fell behind him, but didn't get close, just walked slowly.

After walking for a while and turning a corner, suddenly, a dreamlike scene appeared before his eyes.
