“This ‘Soul Summoning Skill’ is a superior cultivation technique of the Immortal rank, far too simple. Your teacher won’t demonstrate it personally, so you’ll just need to practice according to the mnemonic verse in the manual. There’s no need to continue cultivating the techniques you practiced before.”
Lu Changsheng pretended to be profound.
In reality, Lu Changsheng couldn’t practice the cultivation techniques of the Netherworld himself and could only rely on Xu Jing to cultivate on his own.
Xu Jing took the ‘Soul Summoning Skill’ and started to cultivate according to the mnemonic verse.
Streams of yin qi gathered, and even wandering souls from the heaven and earth were attracted.
“This disciple is truly extraordinary.”
Lu Changsheng could only provide Power-infusing Initiation and cultivation resources for him. As for how far he could go, that depended on his own talent.
Xu Jing, a being born from the Yinsha Qi of the Netherworld, quickly mastered the ‘Yin Evil Skill’ and devoured the Yinsha Qi that wandered between heaven and earth.
[Ding, you have bestowed the superior Immortal rank technique ‘Yin Evil Skill’ upon your disciple Xu Jing and received a reward of forty million times return: the superior Sacred Tier technique ‘Ghost King’s Incomplete Scripture’.]
The system indeed could return Ghost Path cultivation techniques.
And it even triggered a four million times return directly.
The Ghost Path cultivation techniques of Taihua Holy Land were rare. If it wasn’t for the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Lu Changsheng really wouldn’t know where he could obtain Ghost Path cultivation techniques.
Lu Changsheng browsed the ‘Ghost King’s Incomplete Scripture’. The technique was filled with a bone-chilling yin qi, something he truly couldn’t cultivate.
“The cultivation techniques of the Netherworld are indeed special; only those born with innate Yin Evil bodies can cultivate them.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, as the ‘Ghost King’s Incomplete Scripture’ could only gather dust in his inner Space Ring until Xu Jing reached the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm before it could be bestowed.
“‘Yin Evil Skill’ is a cultivation technique. This ‘Karmic Fire Desiccation,’ on the other hand, is a divine skill from the Netherworld, able to summon intangible karmic fire that burns powerful enemies.”
Lu Changsheng passed the ‘Karmic Fire Desiccation’ to his disciple and told Xu Jing to cultivate well.
Seven days later, Xu Jing could already manipulate karmic fire.
[Ding, you have bestowed the superior Immortal rank technique ‘Karmic Fire Desiccation’ upon your disciple Xu Jing and received a reward of ten thousand times return: the mid-tier Sacred technique ‘Karmic Fire Triple Calamity’.]
Another technique was gained.
Lu Changsheng continually bestowed Ghost Path cultivation techniques.
[Ding, you have bestowed the mid-tier Immortal rank technique ‘Corpse Control Skills’ upon your disciple Xu Jing and received a reward of ten thousand times return: the mid-tier Sacred technique ‘Thousand Corpses Transformation’.]
[Ding, you have bestowed the superior Immortal rank technique ‘Soul Summoning Skill’ upon your disciple Xu Jing and received a reward of a hundred times return: the low-tier Sacred technique ‘Soul Capturing Secret Art’.]
…
Ghost Path techniques are quite peculiar, and only Xu Jing could practice them.
For example, the technique ‘Thousand Corpses Transformation’ allows manipulation of multiple corpses, using them as puppets.
Another example is ‘Soul Capturing Secret Art,’ which can absorb the opponent’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits, preventing their soul from returning to the Netherworld.
Xu Jing’s cultivation of these techniques gave him a plethora of attack methods that were hard for others to guard against.
A few more bestowals, and perhaps the system would return the highest quality Ghost Path technique.
“The future potential of this disciple is boundless. But where should I look for suitable magical artifacts for him?”
Lu Changsheng felt somewhat worried.
The most suitable for Xu Jing were naturally magical artifacts from the Netherworld.
But the Netherworld, being the place where souls go after death and more mysterious than the Three Realms, was not a place Lu Changsheng could search for magical artifacts.
“I also obtained a book about the Netherworld in the Treasure Pavilion—’Netherworld Chronicles’.”
Lu Changsheng took out a book with a black cover to consult its records.
Xu Jing, a great expert of the human race in his previous life, developed new intelligence through the Yinsha Qi of the Netherworld after death, possessing the special physique “Yinming Eye,” which allowed him to see the ghosts of the Netherworld.
Such a special physique could be considered a rarity of the ages.
Lu Changsheng didn’t want to waste his talent and resolved to find magical artifacts from the Netherworld for him.
With a few artifacts and the return function of bestowment in the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, he could obtain top-notch magical artifacts from the Netherworld.
“There are two forbidden zones in the Immortal Realm that lead to the Netherworld. One is the Nine Nether forbidden zone in Cangyu, under the jurisdiction of Taihua Divine Mountain.”
“Another forbidden zone is the Nether Sea. The vortex at the heart of the Nether Sea leads to the Netherworld, hence the sea is named ‘Nether Sea’. Few are aware of this.”
Shocked by the records of the ‘Netherworld Chronicles,’ Lu Changsheng had a new lead.
In the depths of the Nether Sea lay the territory of the Candle Dragon Clan.
The Candle Dragon Clan, a unique lineage within the dragon clan, seemed to have certain connections to the Netherworld and had long been entrenched in Zhong Mountain of the Nether Sea. Perhaps the Candle Dragon Clan tribe possessed magical artifacts and treasures from the Netherworld.
With Huo Wen, the daughter of the Red Pupil Tribe leader currently cultivating under Lu Changsheng, he sought her out to inquire whether the Candle Dragon Clan possessed magical artifacts and treasures from the Netherworld.
“Our Candle Dragon ancestor acted as day when awake and as night when asleep. Before being suppressed by the Taiyin Goddess, it often traveled between realms to collect treasures, and could come and go from the Netherworld as desired. Thus, our Candle Dragon Clan indeed has a collection of artifacts from the Netherworld.”
Huo Wen’s response pleasantly surprised Lu Changsheng.
The Candle Dragon Clan actually had Netherworld artifacts!

“Take these treasures back to the Candle Dragon Clan. I plan to trade this batch of treasures for artifacts from the Netherworld, especially magical artifacts from the Netherworld.”
Lu Changsheng gave Huo Wen a Space Ring filled with a variety of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Since the Candle Dragon Clan had collected so many artifacts from the Netherworld, they couldn’t make use of them all. Unburdened by sentiment, they would likely be quite willing to accept this trade.
“Okay.”
