233: Five Ghosts Mysterious Transformation Method

Mu Feng was stunned when he saw the red prompt.

Then he was overjoyed.

He originally thought that all the items on the evil spirit had been destroyed by the Extreme Lightning Bottle.

So he just briefly investigated and didn't delve deeper.

Now that he saw the red prompt, he immediately released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power and carefully investigated.

After searching once, although Mu Feng didn't find a Storage Pouch, he found a white rib bone.

Because this rib bone was similar to the skeletons in the canyon, Mu Feng directly overlooked it when he first investigated.

Until the System prompted him.

Only then did Mu Feng discover its extraordinary nature.

First, the rib bone was as smooth as jade, very different from ordinary rough white bones.

Second, he found this rib bone in the crater created by the Extreme Lightning Bottle's bombardment.

Ghostly creatures are naturally restrained by lightning, so anything that can remain intact after being bombarded by violent heavenly thunder must be extraordinary.

“It truly contains a hidden world!”

Holding it in his hand, Mu Feng investigated it and immediately discovered the secret within the rib bone.

With a gentle press, the originally pure white bone immediately turned pitch black.

Immediately after, a small opening appeared at the end of the rib bone.

Mu Feng injected his Divine Sense and found many compartments inside that could store things.

This rib bone actually functioned like a Storage Pouch, a miniature item that could store other objects!

Needless to say, this must have been the old ghost’s Storage Pouch.

This discovery made Mu Feng very happy.

A Core Formation Stage Storage Pouch.

He was very much looking forward to seeing how many treasures were inside.

After a brief refinement.

Mu Feng poured out all the items inside.

With a “clatter!” sound.

A large pile of items fell out from within.

Mu Feng took a look.

The items were mainly Advanced Soul Stone and po jade, which he had seen before.

There were so many of them that they formed a small mountain in front of him.

Since he had already seen these two items before.

Mu Feng didn't investigate them further, simply sweeping them into his Storage Ring.

【System Reminder: Advanced Soul Stone x50】

【System Reminder: po jade x7】

【System Reminder: supreme soul stone x1】

…

“Wait, supreme soul stone!”

Amidst a series of prompts, Mu Feng saw something different.

That was the supreme soul stone item.

He reached out.

A fist-sized black crystal reappeared in his palm.

【supreme soul stone: A unique item from the Yin Spirit Land, containing a large amount of Soul Power, which can be directly absorbed or used to increase Puppet Rank.】

“That’s right, it’s this!”

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

This was the key Material for upgrading the Puppet Lizard to the Core Formation Realm.

With this, he wouldn’t have to enter that damned Mist Forest again.

As someone who gets lost easily, he was very resistant to the unclear environment inside.

He put away the supreme soul stone.

Mu Feng looked at the remaining items.

Besides the first three items, this rib bone Storage Pouch also contained a black Formation Flag and a Jade Slip.

Mu Feng picked them up simultaneously for investigation.

【Name: Black Wind Flag】

【Rank: Medium Grade Ghost Treasure】

【Description: A Magical Artifact contaminated by Devilish Qi, requires Cultivating Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique to use.】

【Five Ghosts Profound Transformation Great Art: Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique.】

“Uh… why is it another Ghost Treasure?”

Mu Feng had been looking forward to that black flag, but he didn't expect it to be like the Black Sword from before, only usable by Cultivating Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique.

This made Mu Feng a little depressed.

It was very frustrating to have two items comparable to Medium Grade Magical Artifacts that he could only look at but not use.

As for the Jade Slip, it recorded a Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique called the Five Ghosts Profound Transformation Great Art.

Mu Feng naturally had no interest in this.

However, he was quite interested in a corpse refining secret art recorded within the Cultivation Technique.

The Iron Armor Corpse that the old ghost used earlier was recorded in it.

Mu Feng took a look.

He found that he happened to have the main Material.

That was the demonic body he had obtained earlier in the Devilish Qi Secret Realm.

The refining method wasn't difficult; he just needed to combine a few auxiliary Materials to refine it.

This made Mu Feng quite tempted.

This thing was fearless of death.

It was perfect for use as cannon fodder.

【System Reminder: You have learned the manufacturing method for Iron Armor Corpse, which can be viewed in the Workshop.】

He opened the Workshop.

【Iron Armor Corpse: Any sturdy shell 4/1, millennial ironwood 0/1, po jade 10/1】

There weren't many refining Materials.

And Mu Feng already met two of the requirements.

He only needed to find the remaining millennial ironwood to refine the fearless Iron Armor Corpse.

He closed the Workshop.

Mu Feng glanced at the black rib bone again.

After confirming that there were no items inside, he picked up the diamond treasure chest and directly used the golden return-to-city talisman to return.

With the supreme soul stone.

He didn’t plan to deal with the Soul Beast King inside anymore.

Mainly because the cost-effectiveness was low.

He had already taken the diamond treasure chest inside.

He had obtained over thirty Advanced Soul Stones from the old ghost’s rib bone Storage Pouch, so he wasn't lacking for now.

He also had the po jade for upgrading the Puppet Lizard.

Going back into the Mist Forest wouldn't be very meaningful anymore.

As the golden light shone.

Mu Feng returned to his Immortal Cave, holding the diamond treasure chest.

He had stayed in the Yin Spirit Land for quite a while this time.

As soon as he returned, Mu Feng noticed that it was almost dark.

When he was in the Yin Spirit Land, because the weather was always gloomy, he had no sense of time.

He placed the diamond treasure chest down.

Mu Feng released the Little Lizard and the little fox from his spirit beast bag.

The Little Lizard was still asleep, having just used its Berserk skill not long ago.

The little fox, however, was fine.

As soon as it came out, it happily circled Mu Feng.

For such an active creature, staying in the spirit beast bag was too unbearable.

The little fox also helped him a lot in this Secret Realm; if it hadn't helped him set up the Inverted Five Elements Array later, it would have been quite difficult to deal with that Ghost King.

After playing with the little fox for a while.

Mu Feng took out the damaged Formation Flag of the Inverted Five Elements Array and the Moon Yang Treasure Pearl contaminated by the blood bead.

He investigated both of them.

【Inverted Five Elements Array: All Formation Flags are damaged, requires re-refining before it can be used again.】

【Moon Yang Treasure Pearl: Contaminated by a Ghost Dao secret technique, its spirituality is greatly damaged and it cannot be used again.】

Among the two damaged items, the Inverted Five Elements Array was slightly better.

It only needed to find the Materials and be re-refined before it could be used.

The Moon Yang Treasure Pearl was in a terrible state.

It was directly hit by the Ghost Dao secret technique, losing much of its spirituality, and could no longer be used.

This should be his first Magical Artifact that was so damaged it couldn't be used again.

Although the Soul Yuan Bowl was damaged before, it could still be used after being repaired.

Only the Moon Yang Treasure Pearl was permanently destroyed.

This made Mu Feng a little depressed.

The Moon Yang Treasure Pearl was quite useful.

Defense, trapping enemies, and attack all in one.

It was a pity that it was ruined like this.

Fortunately, his gains from this Secret Realm exploration were quite abundant.

Mu Feng’s mood wasn’t too bad.

Since the Moon Yang Treasure Pearl was already damaged, Mu Feng didn't put it back into his Storage Ring but instead embedded it into the Immortal Cave wall as a decorative item.

It was a way to commemorate its contributions to him.

And you know what?

It actually looked quite nice.

After embedding it.

Mu Feng then briefly sorted and organized the items he had obtained from this Secret Realm.

He walked into the medicinal garden.

Judging by the time, the thousand-year rehmannia he had previously ripened should be ready for use.

This Secret Realm also made him realize his own lack of strength.

So he planned to quickly refine the dustfall pill and raise his Realm to Core Formation.

Mu Feng was very much looking forward to Core Formation.

“It has indeed matured!”

After a quick check, confirming that both rehmannia plants had reached a thousand years, Mu Feng pulled them up.

Then, in the empty space, he transplanted the ice mountain snow lotus he had planted earlier.

Refining the snow soul pill required ice mountain snow lotus seeds.

Naturally, he had to Cultivate them well.

After transplanting.

Mu Feng opened the Transaction Channel and exchanged five hundred Spirit Stones for ten essence of vegetation.

Now that everyone's strength had improved, essence of vegetation was quite abundant.

After crushing and pouring them onto the ice mountain snow lotus to accelerate their growth.

Mu Feng returned to the main hall with the two thousand-year rehmannia in his hand.

Before Alchemy.

Mu Feng first closed his eyes to rest and slightly adjusted his state.

Once he had mostly recovered, he opened the Workshop and brought up the Pill Formula for the dustfall pill.

【dustfall pill: Vermilion Fruit 9/3, thousand-year jade sun grass 3/1, millennial golden fruit 2/1, thousand-year rehmannia 2/1】

He had enough Materials on him to refine two batches.

Mu Feng was more than familiar with Alchemy.

Without waiting for the System prompt, he began to put various Materials into the Pill Furnace.

【System Reminder: Vermilion Fruit -3, thousand-year jade sun grass -1, millennial golden fruit -1, thousand-year rehmannia -1】

【System Reminder: Pill Furnace temperature is insufficient to refine thousand-year medicinal herbs, requires adding huo yan grass to increase furnace temperature for refining.】

“huo yan grass, aren’t those the Spiritual Plants I obtained in the Volcanic Secret Realm?”

“That’s right, the description for huo yan grass at the time said it was used for refining dustfall pill.”

Seeing the prompt, Mu Feng suddenly remembered the huo yan grass he had obtained in the Volcanic Secret Realm.

He had previously wondered why the dustfall pill formula didn't include huo yan grass.

It turned out that it wasn't an ingredient for refining the dustfall pill, but a catalyst used to increase the temperature.

That explained everything.

Mu Feng nodded.

He took out a huo yan grass from his Storage Ring and put it in.

“Whoosh!”

As the huo yan grass was added, the temperature inside the entire Pill Furnace suddenly rose, and then it began to operate at high speed.

“It really is for catalysis.”

“Hmm, it’ll be a while until the Pill is formed.”

“This is a good time to check on everyone’s situation.”

Mu Feng skillfully opened the World Chat Channel.

This was something he did every day.

“Selling Advanced Magical Artifact crafting blueprints, buy now while supplies last!”

“Does anyone want a Medium Grade Magical Artifact? Three hundred Spirit Stones and it’s yours.”

“Does anyone have restorative Medicinal Pills or other similar items? I’m willing to buy at a high price.”

“I want some too.”

“Don’t even think about it, these types of items are always in short supply.”

“Selling some Qi Condensation Stage advancement Medicinal Pills, private message me if interested.”

.....

Mu Feng looked for a few moments.

He found that after such a long time, the demand for healing items remained consistently high.

Many people were requesting them in the chat channel.

This made Mu Feng consider refining the Rejuvenation Talisman he had just obtained.

He was quite short on Spirit Stones right now.

He was still far from the one hundred thousand Immortal Cave upgrade fee.

If he could refine them, he would surely be able to sell them for a good price.

“Hmm, once I’m done with this period, I’ll start refining them.”

Mu Feng made a mental note.

Then he switched to the regional chat channel.

It was similar to the World Chat Channel.

The content of everyone’s conversations was also mostly about transactions.

It had been a while since they entered the Cave World.

Those who could survive were generally people who adapted to the environment.

Those who previously begged for supplies or used moral blackmail were basically all dead.

So the communication in the chat channel was also much more normal.

Mu Feng glanced at it.

After finding no useful information, he closed the chat channel.

Then he opened the Realm leaderboard, which he hadn't looked at for a long time.

To see how others were doing.

Realm Leaderboard

First Place: Mu Feng (Foundation Establishment Late Stage)

Second Place: Zhang Jingjing (Mid Stage Foundation Establishment)

Third Place: Han Yuyan (Mid Stage Foundation Establishment)

Fourth Place: Shangguan Yun (Mid Stage Foundation Establishment)

Fifth Place: Li Hengkong (Mid Stage Foundation Establishment)

Sixth Place: Ge Bin (Mid Stage Foundation Establishment)

Seventh Place: Fan Tianlei (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)

Eighth Place: Duan Luming (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)

Ninth Place: Lei Xu (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)

Tenth Place: Fu Kaihuan (Foundation Establishment Early Stage)

“I didn’t expect there to be five Mid Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators already; it seems everyone’s Cultivation speed isn’t slow.”

After looking around.

Mu Feng found that there were quite a few people at Mid Stage Foundation Establishment.

This surprised him slightly.

However, considering that he was almost at Core Formation, it was normal to have a few at the Middle Stage.

“There are quite a few new faces.”

“Many people have been reshuffled.”

Many names on this list were unfamiliar to him.

This indicated that many people had been eliminated.

Li Chenxi, with whom he was very familiar, was not on the list.

But that was normal.

She had only received the Foundation Establishment Pill from him today.

It might take a few more days for her to catch up.

On the list, what surprised Mu Feng was Zhang Jingjing in second place.

She had actually surpassed Han Yuyan to reach second place.

Mu Feng remembered that his Blood Transformation Grass was obtained from her hand previously.

Also, the Youth Preservation Pill sold at auction was bought by her.

It seemed that she was like him.

She must have had many serendipitous encounters in the Great Secret Realm.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to rise from an unknown person to second place in such a short time.

After paying a little attention to her.

Mu Feng closed the leaderboard.

Just as he was wondering whether to go to the Transaction Channel to search for the items he wanted.

The Pill Furnace suddenly vibrated.

“Dong dong dong!”

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

Knowing this was the prelude to the Pill formation.

He immediately concentrated, waiting for the Medicinal Pill to be released.

About half a minute later, the Pill Furnace stopped vibrating.

Then four or five green Medicinal Pills flew out from the Pill Furnace.

Mu Feng took them.

【System Reminder: dustfall pill successfully refined, Alchemy experience +50】

【System Reminder: dustfall pill x5】

A total of five Medicinal Pills.

They were about the size of an egg.

Mu Feng picked up one and investigated it.

【Name: dustfall pill】

【Rank: Excellent】

【Effect: A Medicinal Pill that can increase the probability of Core Formation】

“Excellent quality!”

“Not bad! Not bad! It seems my Alchemy skills have indeed improved a lot.”

This was the second time he had refined an Excellent quality Medicinal Pill.

The previous one he refined was Spirit Nurturing Pill.

He had complained about it back then.

He didn't expect to refine one for the precious dustfall pill now.

This was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
