Chapter 117: 91, 92. Peace in the North, fox spirits laugh at night (Great Chapter - Subscribe please)_3

However, this time, the village chief’s Ghost Servant didn’t make a move, but was constantly goading the condemned prisoner to think of a way to take it with him in an escape.

Song Cheng, deep in thought, continued his experiments...

After a long time, he arrived at an answer:

The weakest Ghost Servant that desires transformation must be at the "Force Realm".

And after the transformation, a "Force Realm" Ghost Servant will fall to a "Power Realm Ghost Servant", so unless necessary, they wouldn’t transform.

This conclusion slightly alleviated Song Cheng’s concerns.

Otherwise, if Ghost Servants could transform without restriction, that would be horrifying.

He glanced to the side and saw a look of astonishment in Madam Tong’s eyes.

Song Cheng said, "Taoist Temple Master Tong, have you discovered something?"

Tong Jia replied softly, "Let’s talk about it at night."

Song Cheng nodded.

...

...

Night fell.

The three of them lay together, something they hadn’t done in a while.

Yet Madam Tong was particularly exhausted and only went through the motions with Song Cheng a few times before she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Miss An, in order for the child to be successfully conceived, continued the previous steps with her husband, letting the "spring water from the Mother and Child River" gurgle into the Fairy Cave, flooding it for a long time without draining.

A long while later, Madam Tong woke up a bit.

Song Cheng helped her to stimulate circulation and invigorate blood, using external forces to help her increase her cultivation.

Only then did Madam Tong say, "I’m exhausted."

Song Cheng said, "Great Taoist Temple Master Tong handles myriad affairs daily, I, Song, admire that."

Madam Tong "ptui" spat out, saying, "Northern Region Blade King, Second Master Song, stop teasing me."

Both couldn’t help but laugh.

Immediately after, Song Cheng said, "What did you want to say during the day?"

Madam Tong said, "I observed how the Ghost Servants smear sludge on themselves to create other Ghost Servants, and I realized... it seems similar to creating Medicinal Humans."

She fell silent.

Miss An said, "I... I’ll go sleep next door."

Madam Tong said, "Sister An, you’re one of us, what can’t be said in front of you? I was just thinking...

In the production of Medicinal Humans, even though there are many medications, there is one medicine that diminishes with each use, so my Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple cannot produce Medicinal Humans without limit.

And the medicine that diminishes with each use is... White Fur."

"White Fur?"

Song Cheng was puzzled.

Madam Tong said, "Cough cough, it’s a kind of white hair.

Soft, cold, like a crystal of ice that will never melt."

Song Cheng said, "When I was partnering with Lady Zhushan, I actually saw a giant dark fox appear behind her.

When Lady Zhushan shed her heavy clothes and kicked off her shoes, dancing gracefully, she would completely transform into another person, very charming, and her dance...

I’m afraid no man in this world could remain unmoved. That is her Illusionary Realm."

As a couple, they could freely discuss even the most secret matters when together.

Madam Tong said, "My teacher left me the Visualization Method, but she said this power is an ominous power, absolutely not to be cultivated.

But if someone is cursed, it might be worth giving the cultivation a try.

That Visualization Method, I... I looked over it.

I saw a fox.

However, that page appeared to have been deliberately damaged, making the figure of the fox somewhat blurry, as if it had been soaked in the pages. Now, I realize, that fox should be white, shadowy, and charming..."

Song Cheng said, "So, the entire power source of Pearl Mountain is actually this fox.

And the fur of this fox still holds part of the power to transform Ghost Servants..."

The three fell silent, then suddenly said in unison, "Ghostly Fox."

Song Cheng organized his thoughts and said, "Lady Zhushan was cursed by an evil spirit, and then unintentionally visualized the Ghostly Fox, obtaining a part of its power.

Madam, how do the other Soul Trainers from Pearl Mountain train?"

Madam Tong said, "They... visualize Lady Zhushan..."

The biggest secret of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple was thrown out just like that.

Lady Zhushan visualizing the Ghostly Fox.

The disciples of Pearl Mountain visualizing their lady...

But more mysteries emerged.

The howling wind outside the window seemed as though the night itself had turned into roaring, rumbling tides, ready to bury everything in the world.

After a long time, Miss An suddenly said, "Lady Zhushan can discern Ghost Servants because she is closest to the Ghostly Fox. And those disciples who visualize her have their powers vastly diminished as they are separated from the Ghostly Fox by her, leaving them only capable of Out of Body Divine Soul.

But... but... husband, why can you see Ghost Servants?"

Originally, Miss An wasn’t a "member of the circle" and thought that "seeing through Ghost Servants" wasn’t difficult, so she wasn’t too surprised when she first learned Song Cheng could see through Ghost Servants back in the county town.

But now... upon knowing that in the entire Prefectural City only Lady Zhushan alone could discern Ghost Servants, and understanding why Lady Zhushan could do so, she was truly frightened.

Being prepared to become a mother, her ambition slowly faded.

Concern for Song Cheng, too, increased.

Madam Tong meanwhile blinked as she looked at her husband and then said, "Sister An, it’s not like you don’t know about that matter. Yune is very special, our husband is special too."

Miss An, recalling that incident, nodded and then said, "I wonder how the excavation of the canal is going."

Song Cheng said, "No matter what, as long as the canal is connected to Tang River.

The heavenly ships, Gao Lin will pave the way with money, then break open the barrier, letting Tang River flow into the canal.

I was worried about using the Skull Double Fish Ornament to contact them on the spot in case of an accident, so I simply issued that command to them. After they finish digging, they will inform me.

Now, what I most want to know is, how much do I still lack compared to that evil spirit..."

...

...

Barbarian Lands.

The sky greenly snows.

Quietly, bit by bit, it falls to the ground.

Lady Zhushan holding her office arrives.

The Barbarian King hosts her.
