Chapter 158: Disaster-inducing spells, check and receive

The magic that Ji Chang used was called "inviting disaster".

The disaster spell is a second-level spell, created by Ji Chang after more than ten years of comprehending the Danwen magical power [Blood Disaster].

[Blood Disaster] can lower the enemy's luck when activated, causing the enemy to suffer numerous disasters and fall into an irretrievable situation.

The spell to summon disaster is only somewhat similar to the [Blood Disaster]. After it is activated, although it can also change the enemy's luck, it is far from reaching the level of a killing calamity.

If the other party has extraordinary luck, even if you activate a disaster-bringing spell to reduce his luck a bit, it will not have much impact.

However, this spell is just a creation. If Ji Chang has a deeper understanding of luck, he can naturally make it more powerful after adjustments and modifications.

Moreover, this spell to bring disaster was comprehended by Ji Chang, so his mastery of this spell has naturally reached perfection.

Although Ji Chang had no means to detect luck, after he activated the spell to bring disaster, he saw some changes in the picture he was peeping at.

The cultivator who had originally planned to give up the pursuit actually rekindled his fighting spirit after Ji Chang activated the disaster-bringing spell.

Some monks looked at the blue light not far away with resentment, unable to swallow the anger in their hearts.

"I fought to the death, and you took advantage of me. We can't just let this go."

They immediately continued to chase the blue light.

Several of the monks even activated their secret techniques, and their escape speed suddenly increased to a higher level, quickly closing the distance with the fleeing monks.

And as time passed, Ji Chang clearly saw through peeking at the Dao Seed that the injuries of the cultivator who had seized the Blood Jade Spirit Marrow were gradually worsening.

His face became paler and his speed of escape became slower.

This was naturally the result of the spell that brought disaster upon himself, which reduced his luck.

At this moment, Ji Chang was secretly delighted.

He knew that although his disaster spell was just a simplified version of [Blood Disaster], it could produce unexpected effects at critical moments.

Now, the monk who obtained the blood jade essence has fallen into trouble, while the other monks have become more crazy and persistent under the influence of the disaster-inviting spell.

As the pursuing monks got closer and closer, the monk who had seized the blood jade essence had no way to escape.

As expected, not long after, the man was killed by the monks who caught up with him and took away the blood jade essence he had just obtained.

The remaining few people were once again caught up in a frantic fight because of the temptation of the blood jade marrow.

Everyone displayed their magical powers, magical instruments were flying, and talismans filled the sky.

The battle became fierce, leaving deep scars on the ground and the surrounding trees were destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

As night fell, the battle became more fierce.

After rounds of fighting, some of these monks died, some fled, and finally, only a yellow-robed monk was left standing there, holding a storage bag in his hand.

He struggled to come to a stream far away from the battlefield. He was covered in blood and gasping for breath, but his eyes were shining with joy.

The yellow-robed monk opened the storage bag and sensed the blood jade essence inside.

His heart was filled with joy; the blood jade essence finally belonged to him.

The yellow-robed monk took a deep breath, put away his storage bag, sat cross-legged in meditation, and prepared to leave after recovering a little.

Suddenly, three refined corpses appeared from the darkness, they were filled with a gloomy aura, and they pounced towards the yellow-robed monk with expressionless faces.

The appearance of these three refined corpses broke the tranquility of the night.

The yellow-robed monk's eyes narrowed.

He knew that his current condition was not suitable for fighting, but facing the attack of the corpse, he had to fight back.

He quickly picked up a long shuttle magic weapon and tried to resist the attack of the corpse.

The battle lasted for a while, and the yellow-robed monk already felt overwhelmed.

At this moment, seven flying knives flashing with purple light fell from the sky and pierced through the body of the yellow-robed monk at lightning speed.

The yellow-robed monk's eyes were filled with reluctance and astonishment. He slowly fell down, and the breath of life gradually disappeared.

After killing the yellow-robed monk, the seven flying knives flew back into the darkness.

At this time, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. It was Ji Chang.

He looked at the yellow-robed monk lying on the ground, then urged the corpse to take away the storage bag from his body.

A smug smile appeared on Ji Chang's face.

After checking and making sure it was safe, Ji Chang sensed the items in the storage bag, and after confirming that the blood jade marrow was safe, he nodded with satisfaction.

He turned and walked away, disappearing into the darkness.

……

More than a month later.

Ji Chang looked at the corpses in front of him and shook his head.

"It's still too difficult for me to use multiple incomplete corpses to make a corpse puppet."

When Ji Chang was trying to obtain the blood jade essence before, he did not let go of those dead monks.

Although most of the monks' bodies were incomplete after several brutal battles, some were even turned into ashes or sucked into mummies.

But a few of them are still complete and can be refined into corpse puppets.

After more than a month of refining, Ji Chang had already trained two second-grade top-quality corpse puppets and one second-grade mid-quality corpse puppet.

Among the two second-grade top-quality corpse puppets, one was made by Ji Chang by splicing together multiple incomplete corpses.

However, Ji Chang does not have enough foundation in the way of corpses, and has not yet mastered the method of refining corpses. Whether he can succeed depends entirely on luck.

“But this time it’s a great harvest.”

"Although these two second-grade upper-quality corpse puppets have not yet been sacrificed and refined into refined corpses, they have reached the second-grade upper-quality level after all, which is comparable to ordinary second-grade middle-quality refined corpses."

Shaking his head, Ji Chang collected all the corpse puppets in front of him.

Afterwards, Ji Chang took out a bunch of spiritual objects, magical instruments, and talismans from a storage bracelet and placed them in front of him.

After this crazy corpse picking, except for one or two monks who escaped, Ji Chang got all the storage tools of the other dead monks.

The cultivation base of this group of cultivators are all in the middle to late stages of foundation building, and there are cultivators like Mu Zhongkuan who are listed on the Tiangang List, and they have a lot of good things on them.

Although among the other cultivators, except for Mu Zhongkuan, only the cultivator who first took the blood jade spirit essence from Mu Zhongkuan possessed a flying boat magic weapon that reached the second-grade top level.

However, there are still six spiritual objects that have reached the second-level top-grade level.

Two of them are water spiritual objects, which can be used by Ji Chang to practice the Green Water Sword Escape.

The second-grade top-grade magical weapons that Mu Zhongkuan possessed were the dark green robe and the green long sword.

These two magical weapons are both from the Wood Dao school and should be his important means of self-defense.

That dark green robe has now been damaged in the brutal fight.

If it had not been damaged, Mu Zhongkuan would not have lost his life.

However, the green long sword was still preserved intact.

Ji Chang picked up the green long sword and looked at the magic weapon carefully. The blade was a dark green color, as if it contained endless vitality and murderous intent.

Ji Chang mobilized his magic power and after some sacrifices, he discovered that this green long sword was not only a wood magic weapon, but also a poison magic weapon.

But this is normal. Among the poison methods that Ji Chang has seen, except for the methods of the Gu God Sect which tend to be from the Gu poison lineage, most of the common poison methods are from the Wood Poison lineage.

However, looking at the magic that Mu Zhongkuan used, it didn't seem to be from the wood poison lineage, but rather from the Yi Wood lineage of the Wood Path.

However, as one of the few fake elixir families in Zheng State, the Mu family has a foundation far beyond that of ordinary foundation-building families, and the family heritage is complete.

Whether it is the Jiamu lineage or the Yimu lineage, there are cultivators practicing.

I heard that the fake Dan ancestor of the Mu family was from the Jiamu lineage, and his Jiamu divine thunder was so powerful that it shocked the Zheng State.

Although Ji Chang had never had the opportunity to plant the peeping mark on the fake Dan ancestor of the Mu family, but when Ji Chang participated in the Danshan gathering before, he once met a cultivator of the Mu family and planted the peeping mark on him.

When he was still in the early stages of building his foundation, he took this opportunity to peek into several of the Mu family's inheritances.

"Let me call you Changqingdao."

After observing for a few times, Ji Chang put away the Changqing Knife.

His current cultivation level is only at the middle stage of foundation building, and the mana consumption to activate this kind of top-grade magic weapon is a bit too high.

Ji Chang planned to use this magic weapon after he broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

By then, with the cultivation level and mana of the late foundation building stage, it would not consume too much mana to activate it.

Moreover, the wooden magic weapon, activated by his current water magic power, can exert 80% to 90% of its power.

It is only slightly inferior to the monks who practice the Wood Dao technique.

It can be considered a handy magical weapon.

It is much better than the Five Fire Fan in his hand.

Over the years, Ji Chang rarely used the Five Fire Fan, a second-grade intermediate magic weapon.

It’s not because I look down on it because it’s just a second-level mid-grade magic weapon.

You know, before searching the corpse, Ji Chang didn't have any second-grade top-grade magic weapon on him except for the second-grade top-grade formation plate.

Ji Chang seldom used the Five Fire Fan in recent years, mainly because he switched to practicing the "Bi Tao Sutra", a water-based martial art.

When activating the Five Fire Fan, only 50% of its power can be exerted.

Therefore, when Ji Chang was fighting, he usually used the Zi Li Blade, a second-grade medium-quality magic weapon.

Of course, most of the time, there is no need for magic weapons. Ji Chang can kill the enemy by using the corpse refining.

But the Five Fire Fan is still useful.

Ji Chang was not practicing the fire technique. When refining the elixir, he needed external force to activate the second-level spiritual fire.

In the absence of earth fire veins, we have to rely on magic weapons.

Although the second-grade intermediate-grade alchemy furnace given to him by the Hu family has the function of making fire, it is still far inferior to the Five Fire Fan.

This Five Fire Fan was personally refined by Hu Rending, the ancestor of the Hu family. It used feathers of five different second-level fire demon birds and is comparable to ordinary second-level top-grade magical weapons.

Afterwards, Ji Chang looked at the second-grade top-grade magical flying boat.

This flying boat is dark blue all over, just like the sea surface, quiet and unfathomable.

With Ji Chang's keen eyesight, he quickly determined that the material of this magic weapon should be made from the bones and scales of some second-level sea beast.

Ji Chang mobilized his magic power, performed some rituals, and then nodded.

"It is indeed a water tool."

"This magic weapon should have come from a prefecture in the eastern part of Zheng State."

In the world of immortal cultivation in Zheng State, there are only two places where monsters roam.

One is a hundred thousand mountains, and the other is the vast ocean.

This kind of magical weapon made of sea beast materials generally comes from the eastern part of Zheng State near the East China Sea.

Ji Chang couldn't help but sigh. He thought of the cultivator who had seized the blood jade marrow before. He had this flying boat magic weapon in his hand. If he hadn't intervened at that time, that person might have really been able to take the blood jade marrow away.

This flying boat magic weapon is extremely fast and highly flexible. It is indeed a rare treasure.

It’s just that my cultivation and magic power are not enough, so I can’t keep it moving for too long.

"Let's just call you Sea Wing Boat."

After giving it a name, Ji Chang put the magic weapon away.

Afterwards, Ji Chang focused his attention on several second-grade top-grade magical weapons in front of him.

It is difficult for him to activate the second-grade top-grade magic weapons with his current magic power. These second-grade top-grade magic weapons will be his main magic weapons in the future.

There were not many second-grade top-grade magical weapons in front of Ji Chang, only seven.

This number seems not small, but you have to know that including Mu Zhongkuan, seven foundation-building cultivators died at that time.

Among these seven foundation-building cultivators, five of them are in the late stage of foundation-building.

If distributed equally, each person can have at most one second-grade top-quality magical weapon.

But, unfortunately, among the seven top-grade magic weapons, three came from one cultivator.

The other four second-grade top-grade magic weapons came from three cultivators respectively.

Among the cultivators who possess top-grade magical weapons, there are two who possess second-grade top-grade magical weapons, while the remaining cultivator is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

In this case, among the five cultivators in the late foundation building stage, two of them do not have a second-grade top-grade magic weapon.

It can be said that he is a poor guy.

However, this is not that strange.

You must know that in the previous Zheng Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, most of the independent cultivators who had cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and even some foundation building families with cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, did not have even one second-grade top-grade magic weapon.

Nowadays, because of the opening up of the Ten Thousand Mountains, one can spend merit points to exchange for magic tools from the Huangquan Sect. As a result, many cultivators in the late stage of foundation building can exchange for high-quality magic tools as long as they accumulate merit points for a few years.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation.

If a cultivator wants to earn merit quickly, he has to accept a very dangerous garrison mission, and if he is not careful he may encounter a situation where a third-level monster attacks the city or a beast tide besieges the city.

By that time, it would be difficult to successfully save a life.

It is very likely that the merits earned through hard work over the past few years have all been used to exchange for healing pills, which means that all the work has been in vain.

Even if you accept a relatively safe exploration mission, you can easily be seriously injured or even killed if you are not careful.

After all, other cultivators are not like Ji Chang, who can use the peeping Dao seeds to complete the exploration mission by spying on other cultivators' explorations.

It is precisely because of this that most of the monks who came to the Shiwan Mountains to open up new territories were engaged in murder and robbery.

They are both life-threatening jobs, but as a robbery cultivator you cannot earn any merit, but the resources you get are much more than taking on exploration missions.

After all, there are only a few cultivators whose goal is to be listed on the Tiangang Ranking and become disciples of the Huangquan Sect.

Among the cultivators who could leave their names on the Tiangang List, the weakest one was a cultivator from a declining family like Wang Changsheng who possessed superior qualifications.

Ji Changzai selected three handy magic weapons from these seven second-grade top-grade magic weapons, and planned to find a time to sell the remaining magic weapons at an underground trade fair or on the black market.

There is no need to take too many top-grade magic weapons, otherwise a lot of mana will be consumed. It is more cost-effective to directly use the second-grade top-grade magic weapons.

Ji Chang selected three top-grade magical instruments.

A top-grade spiritual sword for waterways can better unleash the power of the Green Water Sword Escape.

A top-grade soul bell that can protect the soul and stabilize the mind.

When Ji Chang first started building his foundation, his specialty was using the Illusion Scale Gu to create illusions and influence the enemy's mind.

Because Ji Chang was well aware of the insidiousness of such tactics, he naturally took precautions against them.

The remaining second-level magic weapon is a golden inner armor magic weapon.

Ji Chang now has many means of attack, but he is somewhat lacking in defense. Among all the defensive magic weapons, none is as convenient and safe as the inner armor and robes that he wears directly on his body.

The defensive capabilities of the Golden Dao magic weapon are also ranked among the best among common magic weapons.

After counting the harvest, Ji Chang calculated the time by counting on his fingers.

"The time for the Huangquan assessment is almost here. I will use the peeping Dao Seed to see what the first Huangquan assessment is like."
