Chapter 696: The beast of punishment, Qian Zhuyan awakens!

“A spirit pet.”

Ordinary lottery spirit pet cubs no longer interested Lu Changsheng.

But Lu Changsheng felt that the spirit pets from the advanced lottery were still good.

Whether it was the Sumeru Tree King, the Golden-Winged Roc, or the Fissure Sea Xuan Dragon Whale, they were all of great use and help to him.

【Spirit Pet: Soul-Weeping Beast】

【Grade: Low-Rank True Spirit】

【Description: Elementary Punishment Beast, Late Stage of the Third Order, Non-Demon, Non-Devil, Non-Ghost, Master of the Power of Punishment, Can Devour Souls and Eat Ghosts, Restraining All Kinds of Ghosts, Monsters, Corpses, and Demons; Can also Evolve Itself by Absorbing Souls, Eating Ghosts, Essences, and Corpse Ghost Fiends】

“The power of punishment? Restraining all kinds of ghosts, monsters, corpses, and demons?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the introduction.

The White Snake bloodline effect of his Chaos Body, as well as the Evil-Breaking Golden Lightning, had some restraining effect on the Demonic Path.

Now, another spirit pet that devours souls and eats ghosts, restraining ghosts, monsters, corpses, and demons, has arrived.

“Could it be that I am destined to be the nemesis of the Demonic Path in the future?”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, thinking of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect, the three major Demonic Sects of the Jin Kingdom.

These two sects, one refines corpses, and the other raises ghosts.

“It’s a pity it came a little late. If I had this Soul-Weeping Beast earlier, I would have nothing to fear from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect.”

In his early years, Lu Changsheng was no match for the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two sects. If he had a third-order spirit beast that restrained them, it would add a great help.

But now, his strength has greatly increased, and he doesn’t need the Soul-Weeping Beast to help him deal with the two.

“But it’s better than nothing, at least it has the combat power of the late third order.”

Although he possesses Nascent Soul-level combat power, and can even kill Nascent Soul cultivators with all his strength.

However, having a third-order late-stage combat power at home is still a huge improvement.

With a slight thought, Lu Changsheng extracted the Soul-Weeping Beast in front of him from the system space.

Instantly, a small beast with golden fur all over its body, huge nostrils, and dark and bright eyes, like a macaque, appeared.

“This is the Soul-Weeping Beast?”

Under normal circumstances, third-order demon kings are all huge in appearance and size.

Many times, one can even judge the strength of a demon beast by its size.

But the Soul-Weeping Beast in front of him, as a third-order late-stage demon king, is only a few inches in size, with a cute and adorable appearance, like an ornamental pet selling cuteness.

However, according to the detailed introduction in his mind, Lu Changsheng knew that this Soul-Weeping Beast also had a combat form!

It can transform into a true beast of punishment, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance, becoming stronger when encountering demons, and being a true nemesis of evil demons!

Moreover, in this state, the Soul-Weeping Beast can also use supernatural means to judge the sins of others!

Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to interrogate and torture in the cultivation world.

After all, those who have achieved cultivation are all people with firm Dao hearts.

It is extremely difficult to pry open their mouths through torture.

As for the Soul Searching Technique, first of all, one’s cultivation and divine soul must be one level higher than the opponent’s.

Secondly, many key information is difficult to obtain, and it is easy to cause the opponent’s divine soul to be disordered, destroyed, and become foolish.

The Soul-Weeping Beast’s punishment supernatural power can make people confess through the dual torture of the flesh and soul.

If it is one level higher, it can even suppress the forbidden effects on the opponent during the confession process, which is incredibly amazing!

“Moreover, the Soul-Weeping Beast is different from other demon beasts. As long as it has enough essence, corpses, ghosts, and Yin Underworld fiendish energy, it can quickly improve and evolve…”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

According to the system’s introduction to the Soul-Weeping Beast, the latter is not a certain kind of demon beast.

But a peculiar creature between demons, devils, and ghosts.

Therefore, its growth and promotion are different from ordinary demon beasts.

Like the Golden-Winged Roc and the Fissure Sea Whale, even if they are fed many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they still need time to digest and grow.

But the Soul-Weeping Beast is different.

If it is given enough essence, corpse kings, and ghost kings now, it can quickly advance to the top of the third order, break through to the fourth order, and continue to evolve, improving its level and grade.

“Should I go to the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect to get a wave of Yin fiendish energy?”

Because of the several waves of pursuit in the Mirage Sand Domain, the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect and the Yin Fiend True Monarch have already been added to Lu Changsheng’s must-kill list.

He is preparing to break through the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect’s mountain gate when he has enough strength.

Now, seeing the Soul-Weeping Beast, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of the Yin soldiers and ghost kings formed by the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect’s mountain protection formation, as well as the Yin Fiend True Monarch’s 【Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool】.

If he feeds all of these to the Soul-Weeping Beast, maybe the latter can directly advance to the fourth order.

“Forget it, under the current situation, there is no need to show off again.”

Considering that the movement of the 【Mirage Sand Domain】 was too big, and he was being watched by many forces, Lu Changsheng dismissed this idea and prepared to endure it again.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the cute Soul-Weeping Beast in his hand, sized it up a few times, and then flew towards the Great Dream Marsh.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng returned to the Great Dream Immortal City.

“Husband.”

When Honglian saw Lu Changsheng, she was concerned about Ling Zixiao’s Core Formation situation.

Then, she told him about the Immortal City’s situation in the past half year, and gave him the storage bag from the Heavenly Sword Sect’s exchange of Shadow Sect cultivators.

Lu Changsheng took the storage bag and looked at it, praising: “The Heavenly Sword Sect is really generous enough.”

“This is considered the first cooperation between the two families, so the Heavenly Sword Sect will naturally not be stingy. Previously, the Royal Spirit Sect brought a 【Beast Heart Pill】, which must have been nodded by the Heavenly Sword Sect to take the initiative to show goodwill.”

Honglian was wearing a simple red robe, with a delicate and perfect appearance, and said with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

“Oh?”

Although the Beast Heart Pill is not as good as the Three Yuan Beast Heart Pill, it also has a certain help effect for the breakthrough of demon kings, and can stabilize the mind and essence.

“Since they are willing to take the initiative to show goodwill and trade, we can also be more generous in future transactions.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures he obtained from the Mirage Sand Domain all belonged to stolen goods, and needed to be slowly traded out to exchange for the resources he needed.

“Yes~”

Honglian knew her husband’s temperament.

As long as others do not take the initiative to provoke him, he will treat others kindly and make friends widely.

“By the way, husband, Qian Zhuyan has awakened.”

Honglian continued to say to Lu Changsheng in a dignified and graceful manner: “Regarding the news of the Qianzhu Sect and the Ancient Puppet Sect, because it has been a long time, the Immortal City has only collected rough information.”

“In the early years, there was indeed a force called 【Qianzhu Sect】 in the endless desert. Because they disobeyed the superior sect and competed for secret treasures, they were destroyed by the Ancient Puppet Sect and several forces.”

“Currently, the Ancient Puppet Sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in town, both of whom are early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.”

Honglian said softly.

“Two early-stage Nascent Souls.”

The strength of this Ancient Puppet Sect was about the same as Lu Changsheng’s guess.

Or rather, there are no top-level forces in this area of the Southern Wilderness and Northern Territory.

“Let’s go see Qian Zhuyan first.”

The two came to the cave, and immediately saw a puppet with a faint dark light all over its body, outlining complex patterns, and some slight cracks in its body.

“Master.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Honglian coming, the soul fire in the puppet’s pupils burned, and it shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice.

With Honglian around, Lu Changsheng, the head of the family, naturally didn’t need to do the things of subduing and negotiating himself.

“Don’t worry, as long as you perform well, I will help you advance to the fourth order within a hundred years, and help you avenge your blood and hatred.”

Lu Changsheng could see that Qian Zhuyan in front of him was much calmer and more stable than before.

Immediately, the two parties reached an agreement.

Qian Zhuyan will devote all her efforts to helping Lu Changsheng build puppets in the next time, and teach her puppet skills and knowledge.

And Lu Changsheng must help her advance to the fourth order within a hundred years, and assist her in avenging her blood and hatred.

After the revenge is taken, she will completely submit to Lu Changsheng.

Afterwards, Qian Zhuyan took the initiative to cooperate with Lu Changsheng to refine and control the core hub of this puppet, and imprint the divine soul mark.

However, Qian Zhuyan has her own autonomous consciousness and does not need Lu Changsheng to control it.

Even if Lu Changsheng is not by her side, she can act autonomously.

“Can you repair your body yourself?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the slight damage on Qian Zhuyan’s body and asked.

Although his puppet skills are only at the second order.

But as a third-order top refiner, and possessing the 《Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art》, he can still try to repair it.

“Yes, but it requires materials and time.”

Qian Zhuyan’s voice was hoarse.

“I have some materials on hand now. See if any of them are useful, or which ones can improve your awake time.”

The only drawback of Qian Zhuyan in front of him was that she couldn’t stay awake for a long time.

She needed to sleep to avoid being eroded by the puppet spirit.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.

So, Lu Changsheng wanted to improve this aspect as much as possible when upgrading her.

“Thank you, Master.”

When Qian Zhuyan saw a pile of fourth-order natural treasures in Lu Changsheng’s hand, the soul fire in her eye sockets fluctuated.

She realized that the master in front of her was more extraordinary than she had imagined.

Next, when repairing the puppet’s body, Lu Changsheng gave many suggestions based on his experience in refining.

Qian Zhuyan was pleasantly surprised to learn that Lu Changsheng was actually a third-order top refiner.

The art of refining and puppets have many things in common.

If Lu Changsheng’s refining help was available, it would greatly improve the quality of the puppet and promote it to the fourth order.

Half a month later, half of her soul, which had turned into a puppet spirit, began to erode and affect her normal soul consciousness like a ghost cultivator.

“Is this the erosion of the puppet spirit?”

Lu Changsheng sensed this ghostly negative emotion through the Taiyi Divine Soul.

The golden man in the center of his eyebrows shone brightly. He tried to operate the “Six Desires Heart Demon Art”, using the soul mark between the two as a medium, and then transformed this ghostly negative emotion into nourishment to cultivate the Six Desires Heart Demon Art.

Immediately afterwards, a magical scene appeared.

The ghostly aura and negative emotions generated by Qian Zhuyan’s puppet spirit soul were directly refined by Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Divine Soul.

“It can still be like this?”

The Six Desires Heart Demon Art uses the seven emotions and six desires to cultivate one’s spiritual consciousness.

Because cultivation was troublesome, Lu Changsheng only spent some time cultivating when he built the [Burning Flame Qi Refining Tower] in his early years, and he didn’t pay attention to it at other times.

He never expected that by using the soul mark between the two as a medium, he could actually refine the negative emotions formed by her puppet spirit.

“Doesn’t that mean that I can use the negative emotions generated by her puppet spirit to cultivate the “Six Desires Heart Demon Art”?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the dark armored puppet in front of him and thought to himself.

“This…”

Not only Lu Changsheng, but even Qian Zhuyan herself was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

How could the obsessions, hatred, and evil thoughts formed by her puppet spirit disappear in the blink of an eye?

“Master?”

The soul fire in her eye sockets burned as she looked at Lu Changsheng in confusion.

“Is it true that as long as this negative emotion is dispelled, you can maintain consciousness for a long time?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t explain and asked calmly.

“Yes, Master. If there is no influence from the puppet spirit, my soul only needs to withstand the erosion of Yin turbid Qi, which can greatly increase the awake time.”

“If Soul Nourishing Wood is added to the puppet’s brain components, this awake time can be extended.”

Qian Zhuyan’s hoarse voice contained a bit of joy and happiness.

If she had more awake time, she could better show her value, help Lu Changsheng build puppets, and then use his materials to upgrade herself to a fourth-order puppet.

As long as she upgrades to a fourth-order puppet, she will have hope for revenge!

“Okay, I’ll think of a way to see if I can solve it.”

Although the Taiyi Divine Soul and the “Six Desires Heart Demon Art” can temporarily solve this situation for her.

But this is a temporary solution.

However, this solution gave Lu Changsheng some inspiration.

He felt that he could study the situation of the latter’s puppet spirit and then find a way to solve it.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng seemed to have thought of something. With a slight thought, he gently raised his palm, and the Soul Crying Beast appeared from the Qiankun Shadow Binding Belt.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

As soon as the Soul Crying Beast appeared, its dark eyes, with a hint of strange yellow light, immediately looked at Qian Zhuyan, with a hint of desire in its pupils.

Qian Zhuyan in the dark armored puppet suddenly froze, as if she had encountered some great horror.

Especially the half of her soul that had turned into a puppet spirit, seemed to face a natural enemy, and her soul trembled instinctively.

“Soul Crying, do you have a way to solve it?”

The Soul Crying Beast restrains all kinds of ghosts, monsters, and corpses. Maybe it has a way to solve Qian Zhuyan’s situation.

The Soul Crying Beast, like a little monkey, jumped from Lu Changsheng’s hand onto Qian Zhuyan’s shoulder, sniffed with its huge nostrils, and then told Lu Changsheng that it could eat the other party’s ghost-like soul.

“? ? ?”

Qian Zhuyan can perfectly control this puppet because she relies on half of her soul to turn into a puppet spirit.

If she is eaten by the Soul Crying Beast, not only will her soul be greatly injured, but she will also lose control of the puppet.

“Forget it, it’s none of your business.”

Lu Changsheng motioned for the Soul Crying Beast to come back, planning to study it later.

However, the appearance of the Soul Crying Beast made Qian Zhuyan feel a little more fear and awe towards Lu Changsheng in front of her.

Five days later, Lu Changsheng completed the body repair for Qian Zhuyan, and incorporated the Soul Nourishing Wood, Soul Crystal, and Star Yao Stone he obtained into her body to extend her awake time.

As for upgrading and improving the quality of the puppet, it would take a lot of time, and he still had other things to do now.

He gave the materials for building the puppet to Qian Zhuyan, indicating that she could directly contact Honglian if she had anything to do. Lu Changsheng then went to accompany his wives, concubines, sons, and daughters.

“Lu Lang…”

When Meng Xiaochun saw that Lu Changsheng was finished, she immediately told him about her daughter Lu Mengchan’s foundation building.

After these years of cultivation, Lu Mengchan’s cultivation had long been unable to advance, and she could break through the foundation building and condense a perfect Dao foundation at any time.

However, in Meng Xiaochun’s view, foundation building was the beginning of the great path and was crucial, so it must be done to the extreme.

Even though in her opinion, her daughter’s foundation was already extremely strong, far better than her own in her early years, she still waited for Lu Changsheng to finish his work and take a look.

After all, she knew that her vision and understanding of the “Myriad Calamity Poison Spirit Secret Canon” were far inferior to Lu Changsheng’s.

“It’s already very good.”

Lu Changsheng held his daughter Lu Mengchan’s white and tender wrist, and Yin-Yang mana entered her body.

With the [Calamity Poison Body], cultivating the “Myriad Calamity Poison Spirit Secret Canon”, and taking many natural treasures that fit the Calamity Poison Body, his daughter Lu Mengchan’s spiritual power was even more majestic and profound than his when he was in the Qi refining stage.

If it weren’t for Xiao Xiyue’s Taiyin Moon Essence, the Golden Crow Pill’s Great Sun Essence, and Yun W裳’s spiritual Qi, upgrading his Dao foundation to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation.

And then through Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Roar Body, Nangong Mil离’s Taiyin Jade Liquid, and many other spiritual bodies, his Dao foundation would not have been able to improve to this point today.

“I’ll help Mengmeng protect her later and break through the foundation building.”

Since his daughter had such talent and his wife Meng Xiaochun was so concerned, Lu Changsheng was also prepared to personally protect her and help his daughter build her foundation through the Yin-Yang origin.

If the Five Elements Spiritual Fruits in the family were not so limited and the Myriad Spirit Sky-Reaching Dew was used on the Profound Wood Vine, Lu Changsheng would even want to give his daughter a Five Elements Spiritual Fruit to see what level her Dao foundation could be improved to in this situation.

“Thank you, Lu Lang.”

Meng Xiaochun immediately said with joy when she heard that Lu Changsheng was personally protecting her daughter’s breakthrough.

“Thank you, Daddy.”

Lu Mengchan also said crisply, and there was a pitiful and well-behaved meaning in her exquisite and delicate face, which was endearing.

“Hahaha, why are you thanking Daddy?”

Lu Changsheng smiled and pinched the white cheeks of the mother and daughter, and then looked at his storage ring to see if there were any natural treasures or elixirs that would help his daughter.

But at his level, there were no natural treasures or elixirs that would greatly help Qi refining and foundation building.

Ordinary natural treasures and foundation building spiritual objects would not only be useless to his daughter, but might even affect the purity and quality of her Dao foundation.
