Chapter 16: Yin Yuan Carries True Yuan into Essence
"One hundred and thirteen evil battle strength... that should be a comprehensive assessment based on a hundred years of Yin Yuan cultivation, plus ghost techniques and underworld artifacts."
"This shouldn't include those underhanded combat techniques."
Fang Han seemed to be deep in thought.
One can imagine—
If you can make use of the terrain and your own unique combat skills.
With a combat power level of 113, one can easily fight against even stronger Yin creatures and vengeful spirits!
of course……
This does not include those yin objects that can counter his fighting techniques.
For example, the spirits of ferocious beasts with the ability to fly, and vengeful ghosts.
Once they encounter them, Fang Han's combat skills, which rely on Soul-Capturing Whispers, will be greatly diminished!
(I have to say.)
(This underworld, constructed by the will of the netherworld, is somewhat distorted in some of its rules.)
(But it's still relatively balanced.)
(This aligns with the principle of mutual generation and restraint in the unseen world.)
The danger is even more terrifying when encountering those fierce and vengeful spirits whose fighting skills have become instinctive from their previous lives!
and so.
Powerful ghost magic or high-level contracted spirit objects have an extremely important impact on combat power!
......
now.
Fang Han pulled his thoughts back from his own screen.
Then it landed on Nie Xiaoqian's attribute panel.
Nie Xiaoqian, the female ghost!
Yin Pact Bond: 100
Yellow Springs Sequence... First Realm Wandering Soul Level Yin Object
Yin Yuan Dao Xing: 23+ years
Four Dimensions: Strength 221, Agility 238, Constitution 230, Spiritual Awareness 245...
Yin-type physical form: Void body (wandering spirit)
Talent: None
Skill: Soul-Sealing Whisper x300
Soul Spirit Value: 190 points (Hint: With 100 Soul Spirit Value and 100 years of Yin Yuan Dao cultivation, one can undergo the first Soul Body Evolution and advance to the Second Realm Wraith-level Yin Being.)
Synopsis: A wisp of a tragically deceased soul is rapidly gathering resentment within its body. Handle your spirit with care, for one day it may transform into a terrifying being that will make the entire underworld tremble.
He was infused with over twenty years of Yin Yuan Daoist cultivation.
Nie Xiaoqian's four attributes have all increased to over two hundred!
Especially the soul body... it is many times more solid than the faint phantom it was before!
Now we can clearly see a figure dressed in snow-white robes and a pale, delicate face.
but.
Compared to ordinary, hideous and terrifying female ghosts and vengeful spirits.
Nie Xiaoqian still looks so "scholarly".
The first impression it gives is not the ferocity and terror one would expect from a malevolent being.
Instead, they are mostly beautiful and gentle.
of course.
As the type of wandering soul with the lowest level of soul body in the first realm.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Nie Xiaoqian's four main attributes are all over 200.
However, compared to other vengeful spirits who have also cultivated for over twenty years, this attribute is still incredibly weak!
and so……
The evolution of the soul is imminent!
"By tomorrow at the latest, you will have transformed into an even stronger being."
Fang Han snapped out of his thoughts and gently brushed a strand of hair from Nie Xiaoqian's forehead.
......
The second round of Yin Domain leaders "refreshed" a total of three.
Now, both the Netherwind Wolf King and the Eclipse Ghost King have been successfully killed by Fang Han.
There's only one leader left!
now.
Fang Han turned his gaze to the depths of the Dark Mist Forest.
After some deliberation, he got up and went inside.
Although Fang Han killed the leader of Zhenhun Village, the unlocking of Yin materials doubled.
However, not all evil creatures form groups.
In reality, most of the evil spirits that are summoned are just two or three of them wandering around together.
Based on previous experience in eliminating the leader.
Fang Han deduced that only when a large group of vengeful spirits forms can a true leader of the Yin Domain be born!
This is how the Darkwind Wolf pack works.
The same applies to the Shadow Devourer Clan.
Then, the last leader in this round should also be like that!
now.
Fang Han, familiar with the route, walked back to the place where he had previously killed the Shadow King of Devouring Ghosts.
Although a night had passed.
But scattered across the barren ground were still numerous fragments of remains that he had chopped into pieces.
It exudes a strong sense of resentment and gloom.
soon.
Following his previous plan, he uttered soul-stirring whispers and used threads of resentment to bind them together piece by piece.
As for Nie Xiaoqian, she followed suit, whispering enchanting words while doing the work of "stringing together the remains".
And so, the man and the ghost worked around the area for about an hour before finally finishing up.
then.
Dragging along a string of resentful, fragmented pieces.
Fang Han and Nie Xiaoqian walked into the depths of the dark mist.
Before long, they left the territory of the Shadow King of the Devouring Demon.
The further in you go.
This intense aura of resentment quickly attracted many wandering evil spirits!
But just as Fang Han had predicted—
These evil beings did not form a clan.
Therefore, each time they appear, they are usually in groups of two or three, and the leader is nowhere to be seen!
Seeing this, Fang Han didn't even bother to make a move.
He directly used his soul power to have Nie Xiaoqian handle it.
Don't say it.
Don't underestimate Nie Xiaoqian just because she's the lowest of the lowly wandering spirits.
But the Yin Yuan Daoist cultivation level is there for all to see!
This area is still considered the beginner's underworld for the Soul Suppression Trial.
The Yin creatures refreshed by the will of the underworld are not very powerful in combat.
and so.
Nie Xiaoqian easily dealt with the evil spirits attracted by the resentment.
It utters soul-stirring whispers to disturb their souls, then calmly absorbs their remaining fragments!
that's it……
We traveled along the way, stopping and starting frequently.
Nie Xiaoqian hunted for almost the entire day.
Fang Han, however, did not see the slightest trace of the leader of the Yin Domain!
Without a group of creatures forming a clan, a leader will naturally not emerge.
Fang Han, who had been hunting all day, was absolutely convinced of this.
The underworld area of Zhenhun Village is not small, though.
Especially after he killed the leader several times, the territory of this underworld expanded many times over!
Therefore, it would be quite difficult for him to find the leader's whereabouts by himself.
that's it.
After some deliberation, he opened the Ghostly Path to the Underworld.
See if any other new contract members have discovered the leader's whereabouts.
The group chat was as lively as ever.
"Hehehehe, brothers, I've been cultivating Yin Yuan Dao for almost a year now! How about it? Pretty impressive, right?"
"Tch, only a year? Our team leader's Yin Yuan cultivation has already reached two years!"
"So fierce? Which part of the underworld are you hunting for spirits? The place we found seems to have relatively few spirits."
"Actually, it's all about the same... After Boss Fang Han killed the leader several times, the Netherworld area of our Soul Town Village expanded several times over, and we also received three times the Netherworld Blessings. There's no shortage of Yin creatures; it just depends on how fast you hunt them."
"That's right... I heard that both Chu Linghan and Leng Qingyue have reached the five-year mark in Yin Yuan cultivation! It's only been a few days since Boss Fang Han killed the leader! At this rate, I estimate that in another two or three days, someone will reach the standard for the ten-year Soul Suppressing Tribulation Trial!"
"I wonder what level Fang Han's cultivation has reached now... He must be about a hundred years old, right?"
"Absolutely! They've already taken down three leaders, their combat power is so strong, they don't even need to team up, and their efficiency in hunting Yin creatures is higher than ours... They're enjoying the blessings of the underworld all to themselves!"
Looking at the group of newcomers praising the Ghost Talk Underworld.
Fang Han pondered for a moment.
Finally, he couldn't help but send out his voice through his soul.
next second.
An avatar named "Fang Han" started moving!
[Fang Han: Has anyone seen a large horde of Yin creatures? Or... does anyone know where the leader of the Yin Realm is located? Please let me know, and I will reward you handsomely.]
???
moment!
When this news spread, and the profile picture with the name "Fang Han" started popping up.
The entire Ghostly Whisper Path seemed to have been paused!
A deathly silence fell!
For a full ten seconds, no one dared to speak!
However, a dozen seconds later...
[Holy crap... It's Fang Han himself?!]
[My Lord of the Underworld! After so many days, I've finally witnessed the great one manifest! I must pay my respects!]
[Wait! I'm already kneeling here in the underworld, reading ghost stories and witnessing the journey of the dead... Am I being arrogant?]
[Fang Shen, could you "secretly" tell me exactly what level your Yin Yuan cultivation has reached?]
[Brother Fang~ I'm a girl, really a girl~ Can you protect me? I'm willing to help you nurture your yin essence~]
[A bunch of idiots! Didn't you all understand what Fang Shen meant? He's looking for the leader of the Yin Domain! Get lost, don't make things worse...]
[Oh, right! If Fang Shen takes down the leader, the amount of Yin resources in our Soul-Suppressing Village will increase again, it's like having a cheat code for the Underworld! Has any brother seen the horde of vengeful spirits Fang Shen mentioned? Or the leader? Hurry, report their location so Fang Shen can take them down!]
[How about... we help look for it together? After all, God Fang has brought us so many rewards from the Underworld!]
Yes! Absolutely!
moment.
Fang Han's appearance caused the entire Ghostly Whisper Underworld to boil over!
Countless messages flooded the screen like terrified, vengeful spirits!
but.
To Fang Han's disappointment—
These guys don't seem to have encountered any gregarious vengeful spirits, or rather, leaders of the underworld.
of course.
Fang Han didn't believe that these guys would be hiding anything and deliberately not revealing the leader's whereabouts.
Because, according to his judgment—
Right now, he's absolutely the only one in the entire Soul Town Village who has the strength to solo the boss!
No one else could possibly do it!
Even if you want to take down the leader, you have to form a huge Netherworld Alliance and start a group!
In this way, the leader's information will certainly not be kept secret.
There will definitely be people discussing this in the Ghost Talk forum!
But now, no one says that.
That proves that... no one has found any trace of the leader yet!
Thinking of this, Fang Han couldn't help but shake his head.
Then I turned off Ghostly Whisper Underworld.
but.
At the same time he left the group.
However, a large number of message prompts were discovered in the case file of the Yin Pact—
These were all friend requests, all requesting to form a "Underworld Alliance"!
shook his head.
Fang Han rejected all of these friend requests on the spot.
"I wonder if these guys will be able to help me find the leader after the news of the search gets out."
Fang Han muttered to himself, a hint of anticipation on his face.
......
Meanwhile... in a certain underworld area of Zhenhun Village.
A skeletal rider was frantically hacking and slashing at the surrounding yin creatures.
With each swing of the bone blade, vengeful spirits scattered!
Not far away, Chu Linghan looked at the news about Ghostly Whispers of the Underworld and fell into deep thought.
"Are we searching for the final leader of the second round...?"
"This Fang Han is just too strong..."
"I really want to know, what kind of evil spirit did he contract with, and from which realm did it originate?"
Chu Linghan muttered to himself.
He glanced at the skeleton rider who was fighting fiercely on his side.
Suddenly, I felt that this third-realm vengeful ghost, which I was originally so proud of, didn't seem so appealing anymore.
......
Similarly, another area of the underworld.
Leng Qingyue looked at her friend request that had been rejected.
The expression on his face became somewhat unnatural.
"Sigh... I was rejected."
"Could it be that someone like me, possessing a third-realm vengeful ghost, is not even worthy of his attention?"
A soft sigh escaped her lips.
Leng Qingyue turned off the messages.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
This night was the same as the previous few days.
Fang Han found a relatively comfortable branch of a withered bone wood demon, secured himself firmly with threads of resentment, then suppressed his aura and had a good sleep.
As for Nie Xiaoqian, she continued to serve as a guard.
But when I woke up the next day...
Fang Han discovered that Xiao Qian was actually using him as a bed warmer!
It was quietly hovering beside him, its soul fire fluctuating slowly and peacefully!
Fang Han's face immediately showed a speechless expression.
"It seems we need to improve our living conditions."
"The haunted house at the birthplace is too far away; it's impossible to travel back and forth every day. But sleeping on this withered wooden goblin all the time isn't a long-term solution either."
"And Xiaoqian... seems to know how to enjoy life even more than I do... Is she some kind of ghost who's become a spirit?"
Fang Han was speechless for a moment.
Then he raised his hand and gently brushed Nie Xiaoqian's hair to wake her up.
Soon, Nie Xiaoqian opened her dark eyes and saw Fang Han staring at her with displeasure.
It immediately let out a low, cold murmur!
He even hurriedly took half a foot back, as if trying to explain something.
A wave of grievance surged within his soul!
Seeing the other person's flustered appearance, Fang Han smiled slightly.
"alright……"
"I'm not blaming you."
"Come on... today's infusion is about to begin."
Fang Han said with a smile.
Then, he lightly touched Nie Xiaoqian's cold brow with one hand.
With practiced ease, the liquid-like Yin essence within his body, accumulated over a century, began to circulate wildly.
It flowed continuously into her delicate soul!
In just a moment, Nie Xiaoqian's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
He made a very enjoyable expression!
"Ding! Infusion successful... Your Yin Yuan cultivation - 105 years, Contracted Yin Item - Female Ghost Xiaoqian's Yin Yuan cultivation + 105 years, Current Yin Yuan cultivation 128 years, 5 months and 18 days..."
After pouring all his Yin energy into Nie Xiaoqian, Fang Han felt a sense of emptiness within his body.
But strangely—
This time, Nie Xiaoqian's soul form did not become more solid!
However, the edges of her originally plain white clothes had turned completely into a deep black!
At first glance, the flowing fabric of his robes shimmered with bursts of dark light.
It exuded a sense of solemnity and desolation!
Fang Han hadn't had a chance to examine the specific changes in Nie Xiaoqian yet.
soon……
The familiar feedback wheel, shimmering with a faint, ghostly light, appeared before his eyes!
The sixth round of feedback has begun!
"Give me feedback—"
As the mind sinks down.
The roulette wheel pointer is spinning rapidly!
It made a "click-clack" friction sound!
From fast to slow... until finally, it stopped at ten times...
[Ding! Feedback successful, received tenfold reward... Current Yin Yuan cultivation level: 1050 years!]
