Wu Laogui was born into a poor family. He was lucky enough to detect his spiritual roots when he was young. He was spotted by a small sect and took him into the path.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the sect soon declined.

Wu Laogui eventually became a casual cultivator and struggled in the world of cultivation.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu was lucky and had an adventure in his middle age. The adventure helped him grow to the ninth level of qi training, allowing him to establish a firm foothold in the casual cultivator circle in Kang County.

But Wu Laogui is not satisfied, he also wants to break through the foundation building stage!

In his opinion, if he cannot break through the foundation-building period, then his path is not meaningful.

Because his life is coming to an end soon.

What I want in my life is nothing more than immortality.

However, in the blink of an eye, his bright head turned white, but his cultivation was still at the first level of the path.

What could be more cruel than this?

Of course Wu Laogui is not willing to do this.

So during the bottleneck period, Wu Laogui traveled south and north, looking for breakthrough opportunities everywhere.

By chance, Old Ghost Wu actually found half a volume of "Blood Infant Spirit Fusion Technique" from a dilapidated cave.

This "Blood Infant Spirit Fusion Technique" teaches people to extract the essence and blood of children with spiritual roots, and use secret methods to arrange a large spirit fusion formation.

After the formation is formed, those who join the formation can spend seven to seventy-nine days to improve their qualifications.

After obtaining this method, Mr. Wu was overjoyed and realized that there was hope for foundation building.

He secretly planned and prepared for the spirit-melting formation.

However, Kang County was still relatively peaceful at that time, and Wu Laogui was more scrupulous, so he only dared to rob children in some remote villages.

But as Kang County was in turmoil and the world was in chaos, Old Ghost Wu became more and more diligent in taking action, and the materials for the spirit-melting formation were almost ready.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the demonic cultivators began to run around everywhere, but some thoughtful people secretly added fuel to the flames and spread the news of the demonic cultivators everywhere, so that monks in Kang County could hear rumors of the demonic cultivators coming every two steps outside their homes.

The demonic cultivator attacks ruthlessly, destroying both good and evil wherever he goes.

Wu Laogui was naturally worried about bumping into the demon cultivator, fearing that he would die at the hands of the demon cultivator before his great cause was accomplished.

For this reason, he immediately decided to go south to Wangxian County, hoping to use Wangxian County's power to deploy the spirit-melting formation.

As a result, as soon as Mr. Wu arrived in Wang County, he only made two or three attacks before he was targeted by Ling Yan and chased all the way.

Later, he fell into the hands of Li Lingzhen and became a prisoner.

After learning about Old Ghost Wu's life, Li Lingzhen was very interested in what he said about the "Blood Infant Spirit Fusion Technique".

You know, if a monk wants to improve his qualifications, he must seek great opportunities.

Can you do it by just catching some kids?

And such good things?

Li Lingzhen took out Wu Laogui's storage bag, and soon, a slightly old jade slip appeared in his hand.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Li Lingzhen withdrew his consciousness in disappointment.

"You've been working on this thing for twenty years?"

"What do you mean?"

Old Ghost Wu said weakly.

"You are in Hengnan, do you know about the demon clan?"

"Who knows about the demon clan?"

"Then do you know that the demon clan has a secret method called Melting Spirits and Asking for Pulses?"

Old ghost Wu was stunned and said nothing.

"Your so-called "Blood Infant Spirit Fusion Technique" is an idea put forward by the monks based on the demon clan's soul fusion method. It is not realistic."

"Among other things, the spirit-melting formation recorded on it is full of errors and omissions, and does not conform to the principles of the formation at all. I remember that you also set up formations in the battle, can't you tell?"

With that said, Li Lingzhen threw out the jade slip.

The jade slip hit the water tank and fell to the sand inside the tank.

Old ghost Wu looked down at the jade slip, stunned.

Li Lingzhen didn't care when he saw this and continued to look through the storage bag.

Some low-level elixirs and talismans were automatically ignored by him.

Then, Li Lingzhen said "Hey" and said, "You still have something good."

He found another jade slip, which recorded a formation called "Yimu Shengyuan Formation".

This array can borrow spiritual energy to burst out the vitality of the plants in the array in a short period of time, allowing them to greatly increase their growth rate.

Of course, the side effects are also great. After being accelerated, these plants will completely lose their potential and will all wither in less than three to five days.

Although the Yimu Source Formation seemed to have a single effect, Li Lingzhen saw its potential.

If this array is equipped with some special spiritual plants, such as the devil's vine chosen by Wu Laogui, it will instantly become a killing array.

In particular, this formation is very suitable for his fire skills. If he can arrange it in advance and use wood to make fire, he will have a home field advantage and take advantage of the battle.

Putting away the jade slip, Li Lingzhen continued to search, and soon found a sky blue bead.

This bead seems to be the protective magic weapon used by the woman earlier to block explosion damage.

The bead is slightly damaged, but the grade has not been lost, and it is still among the ranks of mid-grade magic weapons.

If it is kept warm for a few months, it may be able to regain its power.

Without saying a word, Li Lingzhen wiped away his consciousness and kept it on his body.

The rest, including the other magical instruments, are ordinary things, nothing surprising.

"Spiritual cultivation, put up a thank you sign for me. I have to practice next. Unless there is something important, I am not allowed to go near the study."

"In addition, let Lingyu and the others go find Lingyu, and their cultivation should not stop."

Li Lingzhen ordered.

Li Lingxiu nodded, but looked at Old Ghost Wu, a little worried.

This person looks far more sinister than Sima Jiaren.

"He is still of great use to me. Don't worry, just do as I say."

He sealed Wu Laogui's spiritual cave so that he could not use his magic power. He also used a talisman array to seal him in a vat so that he could not move. He was less of a threat than Yunhe coming outside the door.

To be on the safe side, Li Lingzhen also buried a pyroblast talisman at the bottom of the water tank and carved a small pyroblast talisman specially created by himself based on the pyroblast talisman on the inner wall.

Once the talisman array on the outer wall is destroyed, the small pyroblast array on the inner wall will detonate the pyroblast talisman.

The Pyroblast Talisman is a second-level talisman. If attacked by this talisman, it is impossible to survive under the foundation.

If Old Ghost Wu wants to escape alive from the water tank, the probability is extremely slim.

The reason why Li Lingzhen wanted to keep Wu Laogui alive was because he encountered difficulties in practicing the "Soul Capturing Technique".

He is in urgent need of an experimental subject to test his ideas, but this person must not be himself or the Li family.

It just so happened that Old Ghost Wu was punished by him, and he had the ninth level of Qi training, so his soul was relatively strong, which could be said to be an excellent material.

Therefore, in the next more than a month, Li Lingzhen repeatedly practiced the spells recorded in "The Soul-Captivating Technique" and used Old Ghost Wu to verify the effect.

With Wu Laogui, he made rapid progress and gained a deeper understanding of the soul.

However, while practicing spells, Li Lingzhen came up with several ideas.

He thought for a while and ordered Li Lingxiu to go to the back mountain to catch ten monkeys.

These ideas are too dangerous, and if used on Old Ghost Wu, it is likely to destroy his soul.

To be honest, Li Ling was really reluctant to let go.

It is better to test it on monkeys first, and if it is feasible, it would not be too late to try it on Wu Laogui.

Soon, Li Lingxiu sent the monkey.

These monkeys are used to occupying the back mountains and being domineering, so they are not afraid of people at all.

At this time, they were tied up together, and they were still very aggressive and kept grinning at Li Lingzhen.

Li Lingzhen didn't talk nonsense and stretched out his palm towards one of the monkeys.

Soul-sucking hand!

As the spell was activated, the monkey immediately rolled his eyes and collapsed.

In Li Lingzhen's eyes, a faint white light gradually appeared on the monkey's body, and a slightly shaped thing as big as a fist floated out, and he grabbed it in his hand.

This is the soul, something that is innate to all living beings!

In fact, the soul of a monk is essentially a soul.
