81: Ghostly Mother-Child Divine Control Technique

Thinking of something, You Lian looked at Chu Yuan and tossed him ten deep blue jade stones.

"In the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss, the Yin Fiend Qi and Yin Qi are too dense, making it unsuitable for the Human Race to Cultivate. You can just use Spirit Stones to Cultivate."

Chu Yuan accepted the Spirit Stones, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Were these the Spirit Stones?

In other words, the pile of blue jade stones in Sun Yang, Attendant of the Demon God Cult's sumeru ring were all Spirit Stones?

But why were the colors slightly different?

Chu Yuan glanced at the blue jade stones in the sumeru ring; although there were tens of thousands of them.

More than ninety percent were light blue, the rest were blue, and there were also more than ten white ones.

Chu Yuan could sense that the deeper the blue color, the more Spiritual Qi seemed to be contained within.

Did Spirit Stones also have Ranks?

Thinking of this, he voiced the question, "Sister You Lian, there must be differences between Spirit Stones, right? How do you distinguish them?"

You Lian looked at him in surprise, then explained, "Spirit Stones are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top-Grade. The exchange ratio on the Human Race side is 100:1, meaning one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones can only be exchanged for one Medium Grade Spirit Stone, and so on."

"The method of distinction is also very simple."

"Low-Grade Spirit Stones appear white with faint blue light; Medium Grade are light blue; High Grade are blue; and Top-Grade are deep blue."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan understood, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you, Sister You Lian, for clarifying my confusion!"

You Lian nodded. "Alright, I'll be going now. Just send me a message if you need anything!"

Having said that, her figure disappeared.

Seeing that Dark Moon had not left yet, a hint of confusion flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes. "Sister Dark Moon, do you still need something?"

Dark Moon blinked her beautiful eyes and laughed, "Little one, how much of that wine you had earlier do you still have? Give me some!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's eyes flashed, and his heart stirred slightly.

It seemed he had gained another layer of security in this Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss.

It was good that they had needs; he was only afraid they wouldn't!

Chu Yuan smiled, took out twenty jars of qing you wine, and said with a laugh, "Sister Dark Moon, you drink this first. If it's not enough, I can brew more."

"Then thank you, little one."

Dark Moon's expression brightened. She collected all the wine jars, then continued to smile:

"Let's exchange contact information. You can find me anytime if something happens."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan quickly handed over a communication jade slip.

Dark Moon took out a communication jade slip, established contact with him, and then left.

Chu Yuan turned and returned to his room, quickly copied the Cultivation Technique, and then took out the copy to pretend to read it.

Meanwhile, a wisp of his consciousness entered the primal origin space and looked at the original Cultivation Technique.

"Strengthen!"

He saw a faint light flash on the manual, but it stopped abruptly, causing Chu Yuan to slightly furrow his brows.

This situation had never occurred before, had it?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly received a message, and his face filled with surprise.

"Strengthening options?"

Chu Yuan looked surprised, but after understanding the two choices, he suddenly realized something, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

"Hoo!"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression slightly cold as he said, "If I didn't have the primal divine crystal, I'm afraid I would have been tricked."

Saying this, he did not choose to continue strengthening, but instead copied another version.

Afterward, he strengthened the original item and chose to strengthen the Cultivation Technique.

After three rounds of strengthening, Chu Yuan obtained the Spirit Core Chapter and Spirit Crystal Chapter of the Heavenly Revelation Secret Codex Cultivation Technique.

However, he did not study the Cultivation Technique immediately; instead, his gaze fell upon the copied Cultivation Technique.

"Strengthen, choose to strengthen the Secret Art!"

Chu Yuan spoke. He wanted to see exactly what this Secret Art was and what its use was.

Soon, the strengthening was complete.

Chu Yuan quickly opened the manual and rapidly scanned the contents.

"So that's how it is!"

"A Secret Art was divided and integrated into the two chapters of the Cultivation Technique. Once both chapters of the Cultivation Technique are complete, the Secret Art will be successfully Cultivated?"

"It seems the effect is good, but hiding it within the Cultivation Technique like this suggests malicious intent!"

"It seems my subsequent Cultivation cannot be too fast, or rather, I cannot let Ye Qingyi know my true progress in Cultivation."

Saying this, his expression grew slightly cold. "You little wench, just you wait. Once I find an opportunity, I will definitely make you regret this!"

After that, he carefully put away the Ghost Dao Secret Art and began studying the Spirit Core Chapter of the Heavenly Revelation Secret Codex...

On the other side, Illusion Concubine arrived at Ye Qingyi's location.

"Greetings, Honored One!"

Ye Qingyi raised her eyes and looked at her. "I know why you've come, but I already have a countermeasure, so you don't need to worry too much."

Hearing this, Illusion Concubine couldn't help but blink. She hadn't even spoken yet, and the Honored One already knew?

Ye Qingyi shook her head and smiled, then mysteriously uttered a phrase: "Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Spirit Controlling Art!"

Illusion Concubine's expression instantly changed slightly.

She was extremely familiar with this Ghost Dao Secret Art.

This Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Spirit Controlling Art, also known as the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art, was a Saint-Grade Secret Art created by an exceptionally talented individual of the Ghost Race back then.

It was said that only Cultivators in the Ghost God Realm could successfully Cultivate it, and they had tried it before.

But they failed.

Currently, in this Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss, only the Honored One had successfully Cultivated it and reached the Perfection Realm.

After Cultivating this Secret Art, one could forcefully enslave Ghost Race members whose Rank was no higher than their own for their use.

Upon Cultivating it to Perfection, one could even simultaneously enslave eighty-one entities of the same Rank.

The enslaved could not disobey orders, could not harm the caster, and could not break the enslavement.

It was truly extremely overbearing!

But most people did not know the full name of the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art—the Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Spirit Controlling Art!

One who Cultivated this Art to Perfection could, based on their own circumstances, divide out a Sub-Secret Art.

This Sub-Secret Art originated from the mother Secret Art; the content was largely similar, and it belonged to the Divine-Grade Secret Arts.

Although it was Divine-Grade, anyone with a bit of Comprehension Ability could successfully Cultivate it.

The Sub-Secret Art had the same effect, except the number of entities that could be enslaved would be reduced by thirty percent.

Furthermore, the highest Rank of the enslaved needed to be one major Rank lower than the caster's own Rank.

In addition, the person Cultivating the Sub-Secret Art would be controlled by the person Cultivating the superior Secret Art.

This control would usually remain dormant and would only manifest once the superior caster activated it.

Unexpectedly, had the Honored One already set that up for the boy?

Illusion Concubine's expression was slightly complex; she even felt some pity for that boy.

"Alright, you may withdraw now!"

Ye Qingyi spoke, slightly parting her red lips, and then closed her eyes.

"Understood!"

Illusion Concubine nodded and retreated from the main hall... The next day.

In the early morning, Chu Yuan finally put away the manual and adopted the posture for starting Cultivation.

And he had indeed just started.

He had to be low-key; he couldn't possibly succeed in Cultivation just by glancing at the Cultivation Technique, could he?

Reading it for one night was his final insistence!

Chu Yuan sat cross-legged, took out hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones and placed them around his body, and held two Top-Grade Spirit Stones in his hands.

Start Cultivating!

As the Spirit Core Realm Cultivation Technique began to operate, the spiritual energy around Chu Yuan slowly started flowing and converging towards his Dantian.

Inside the Dantian, the spiritual vortex slowly began to spin, rapidly drawing the spiritual energy within the Dantian into itself, and the speed became faster and faster.

That spiritual energy entered the spiritual vortex and was continuously compressed and condensed.

An unknown amount of time passed.

At a certain moment.

After all the surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed by the spiritual vortex, the spiritual vortex suddenly began to tremble violently.
