After thinking for a while, Li Mu decided to follow the rules.
It was better to avoid trouble.
Moreover, according to his observation in the past few days, the two sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain were extremely fair to the ghost cultivators, and they were indeed working for the welfare of the ghost cultivators at the bottom level. It was a rare fair and open-minded sect with a strict system and social class. It was a good emerging force.
On the other hand, the three ghost sects that had been at war with the Bone Sacred Mountain for many years had been branded with a slavery system. They had killed countless people and always adhered to the attitude that those who were not part of the Bone Sacred Mountain must be evil. They were extremely cruel to the sects and rogue cultivators outside their jurisdiction, and they were extremely hostile to the living outside the Ghost Rally Star.
Since he could get the Cultivation Method by making contributions, he might as well help the Bone Sacred Mountain, a rising force.
However, in this way, he was afraid that he would have to spend more time on the Ghost Rally Star than he had imagined. He might not be able to solve the problem within a month.
"It seems that I have to ask Shan Tian, my new friend, to make a few more trips."
Li Mu thought to himself.
In the future, he would find a way to repay Shan Tian.
After making up his mind, Li Mu soon calmed down.
His attention returned to the Ghost Cultivation Method and the ten Ghost Beads.
"That day, the Xiantian Skill resonated with the half-dead energy in the divine-level Primordial Stone. Could it be that the Xiantian Skill can also refine this kind of energy?"
Li Mu was eager to give it a try.
In the end, he decided to give it a try.
Li Mu called over a team leader of the ghost soldiers and gave him some instructions. He announced to the public that he was going to do closed-door training, and then directly blocked the door of his cave.
"It's a feasible way to absorb the energy in the Ghost Beads into my body with the method of Ghost Cultivation from the Spirit-gathering Spring, and then refine it with the Xiantian Skill."
After several deductions, Li Mu gradually came up with a plan.
He took out a Ghost Bead and then ran the most basic Ghost Cultivation Method of the Bone Sacred Mountain.
Soon, a look of surprise appeared on Li Mu's face.
"It's feasible."
"I actually made it by running the Ghost Cultivation Method with the body of a living person."
Li Mu didn't know if he was the first person who could practice the Ghost Cultivation Method, but it meant that his previous deduction plan could really be implemented.
The Spirit-gathering Spring Technique was actually to absorb the Ghost Qi in the world into one's own body. For ghost cultivators who did not have a physical body, it was to use the Ghost Qi to repair their souls and solidify their bodies. Its ultimate purpose was the same as other ghost cultivator's techniques — to transcend the half-dead and half-alive state and be resurrected.
But Li Mu found that after the Ghost Qi was introduced into his body by the Spirit-gathering Spring, it began to circulate in his meridians like natural qi. Its breath was gloomy and cold, as if it was going to freeze his body.
Ordinary experts would not be able to withstand this kind of Ghost Qi, and their meridians would be damaged.
But Li Mu's physical body was strong, and his meridians were condensed. So, for the time being, he was not seriously affected.
"If I convert this Ghost Qi into true Qi, I wonder how powerful it will be?"
Li Mu's interest was aroused.
He began to absorb the Ghost Qi in the Ghost Pearl.
"Hiss …"
The energy in the Ghost Pearl was indeed hundreds of times richer and purer than the Ghost Qi in the air. Li Mu only felt a stream of ice water flowing in his meridians. In an instant, his body began to emit cold air, as if he was about to be turned into an ice sculpture.
After absorbing the energy in the whole Ghost Pearl, Li Mu felt that his state was probably similar to that of an ice sculpture or a snowman, and he had probably reached the upper limit of the Ghost Qi his body could bear.
Then, he set up a Breath-concealing Tactical Deployment in the cave to prevent his breath from leaking. Then, he began to run the Xiantian Skill to refine the Ghost Qi in his meridians.
The moment the Xiantian Skill was run, the Ghost Qi immediately became obedient, as if it was flattering him. It began to run according to the method of the Xiantian Skill, and gradually, the extreme cold feeling disappeared.
Li Mu carefully observed and found that the extremely cold Ghost Qi did not disappear.
It was still running in his meridians.
But for Li Mu, the extreme cold feeling disappeared because it no longer caused damage to Li Mu's meridians and body, as if it had become a part of Li Mu's body, and he could easily control it as if it were his arm.
However, the idea of merging the primitive natural qi in his body with the extremely cold Ghost Qi could not be realized for the time being.
The Xiantian Skill was extremely skillful in controlling the two kinds of energy.
When he ran the primitive natural qi, the extremely cold Ghost Qi would hide in his dantian world and disperse in his meridians. When he ran the extremely cold Ghost Qi, the primitive natural qi would also hide and disappear.
The two kinds of natural qi could not be merged, but they did not interfere with each other.
Li Mu tried several times and finally decided to temporarily give up the idea of merging the two kinds of natural qi.
It was not the right time.
Of course, compared with the primitive natural qi that Li Mu had cultivated for so many years, the amount of the extremely cold Ghost Qi was much less.
It took Li Mu ten days to completely absorb the energy in the ten Ghost Pearls.
In this way, the power of the extremely cold Ghost Qi was equivalent to that of a half-step Ghost General among ghost cultivators. Compared with ordinary ghost cultivators, it was simply a tremendous improvement.
The cultivation system of the ghost cultivators was different from that of the living in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Experts at the Ghost General level were probably equivalent to those in the Void-breaking Realm or the Worm Realm in the world of the living. But ghost cultivators at the Ghost King level were comparable to the General Realm in the world of the living.
Li Mu also felt a little headache.
The comparison of the two realms was a little confusing.
A major realm of ghost cultivators was equivalent to several major realms in the world of the living.
…
…
"Huh? You made another breakthrough? "
When Elder Zhen Ye, the Ghost General elder, saw Li Mu, his eyes lit up.
Li Mu said with a smile, "Thanks to Elder Zhen Ye's promotion, I can achieve what I have today."
That was not a compliment.
Zhen Ye did take good care of Li Mu.
After spending time with Elder Zhen Ye these days, Li Mu also found that this Elder Zhen Ye was a good person … Well, no, he was a really good ghost. He was very kind to the rogue ghost cultivators and other disciples of the Bone Sacred Mountain who had come to seek shelter. He was a good man … Well, a good ghost.
"In just over a dozen days, you have reached the primary Ghost General Realm. You can be regarded as a ghost cultivator genius. I didn't misjudge you." Zhen Ye patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Try harder. As long as you become a middle-level Ghost General, you can become an elder of our Bone Sacred Mountain."
Li Mu nodded and thanked him sincerely.
Zhen Ye added, "Little brother, I see that you are very young. When you died, you should be no more than 20 years old, right?"
"When I died?"
Li Mu had a strange look on his face, but he also nodded and said, "19 years old."
Zhen Ye said, "The Wandering Souls that come to our Ghost Rally Star die in all kinds of ways. But without exception, they must have unfulfilled wishes when they were alive. Their obsessions moved heaven and earth, so that they could come here. Otherwise, when ordinary people die, their souls will be directly scattered. Every ghost cultivator hopes to transcend life and death, walk out of the Ghost Rally Star, and return to the world of the living to fulfill their wishes."
As Li Mu listened, he figured out something else.
Could it be that the ghost cultivators were not born and bred on this planet, but came from other places?
These days, he had learned a little about the Ghost Rally Star, but he still didn't know these things.
"Haha, bro, you are a ghost who died not long ago, aren't you?" As soon as Elder Zhen Ye saw Li Mu's expression, he knew that Li Mu didn't know much about the Ghost Rally Star.
Li Mu nodded.
"No wonder." Elder Zhen Ye laughed and said, "Then I'll tell you something about this world."
Ghost cultivators were infertile. Even if some ghost cultivators fell in love with each other and became Taoist companions, they couldn't have children. The ghost cultivators on the Ghost Rally Star were dying all the time, but the overall number was not decreasing. That was because the ghost cultivators on the Ghost Rally Star claimed to be born by heaven and earth. But in fact, they were the living who died on the major planets in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Some of them had strong spirits, some had obsessions, or some other reasons, but their souls did not disperse. Under the guidance of heaven and earth, they descended on the Ghost Rally Star.
It had been like this for thousands of years.
After hearing what Elder Zhen Ye said, Li Mu was greatly surprised.
"How could there be such a thing?
Doesn't that mean … "
All of a sudden, Li Mu had a glimmer of expectation.
Elder Zhen Ye continued, "Many ghost cultivators who come to this world still retain their memories of their previous lives. They want to return to the world of the living and reunite with their relatives, friends, and lovers. It can be said that this is one of the driving forces for most ghost cultivators to struggle and also the pillar for them to continue to live. However, the several reincarnation places on the Ghost Rally Star are all controlled by the Three Divine Gates of the Ghost Path. If ordinary ghost cultivators want to reincarnate through these places, they must become the lackeys of the Three Divine Gates of the Ghost Path. They will be at the mercy of the Three Divine Gates of the Ghost Path and suffer unspeakably. However, the Second Sage of our Bone Sacred Mountain has made a great vow to lead us ghost cultivators to open the door of cultivation and open the reincarnation places that have been controlled by the Three Divine Gates of the Ghost Path for a long time, so that every ghost cultivator who has died a wrongful death can transcend life and death and return to the world of the living.
In the end, Zhen Ye also felt a little emotional.
After hearing that, Li Mu didn't know what to say.
He had only just found out about these secrets.
These words made Li Mu feel that for a moment, he had suddenly become a part of this planet. It was as if he had really become a ghost cultivator and a real disciple of the Bone Sacred Mountain.
"Let's go, bro. Come with me to get your new identity card. Now that you have become a Ghost General, your status will naturally be improved."
As Zhen Ye spoke, he turned around and led the way.
"I really want to see the blue sky of my hometown again …"
He sighed.
Because the sky on the Ghost Rally Star was shrouded by the dense layer of Yin Qi, it was always gloomy. The sun, the moon, the sun, the four seasons, and the day and night could not be seen. It was like the dusk before a rainy day, which was depressing.
Following Zhen Ye's guidance, Li Mu went to the main hall of the Bone Sacred Mountain to get a new identity card. Instead of getting the Ghost Beads according to his meritorious deeds, he would get three beads every month as the salary of a Ghost General disciple.
Another 10 days passed in this way.
Li Mu's strength as a ghost cultivator was steadily improving.
When running the extremely sinister Ghost Qi, he didn't even need to disguise himself. He was completely a real ghost cultivator.
As time went by, the situation of the Bone Sacred Mountain became more and more serious.
In the several battles, the Bone Sacred Mountain had suffered heavy losses.
In addition to the three major ghost sects, it was said that some veteran ghost sects in other regions were extremely dissatisfied with the great ambition of the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain. There were signs that dozens of ghost sects had joined forces to directly wipe out this new sect.
The atmosphere of a great war was on the verge of breaking out.
