The cold wind howled.
On this late autumn night, the weather was sowhat chilly.
The bright moonlight spilled over, covering the courtyard in a layer of silver frost.
In the flickering oil lamp light, Lin Zheyu's expression was full of amazent.
"Incredible, worthy of being a Ghost Secret Skill!"
Lin Zheyu couldn't help but exclaim.
Much of what was recorded on it, even though he couldn't quite understand it, gave him a sense of daunting power.
The "Seven Evils Ghost Canon" is mainly divided into three parts: the first being the Cultivation Secret Technique, the second the Seven Evils Array, and the third the Soul Secret Skill.
Lin Zheyu could hardly understand any of these three parts.
The "Seven Evils Ghost Canon" is like a black box; although he didn't understand the principles, he could practice according to the steps.
"This Secret Technique is not an easy thing to cultivate even if one wants to."
"Just the materials for the Seven Evils Array, most of them I've never even heard of, and gathering them would be very difficult."
"Carve the array, consu herbal guides, use them to sense the power of the yin fiends, bring it into the body, and start the Grand Circulation..."
"This really does seem like a cultivation technique."
Lin Zheyu murmured, his eyes growing brighter.
The "Seven Evils Ghost Canon" was different from the Corpse Refining Secret Skill he imagined; in the Corpse Refining Secret Skill, the corpses are passively turned into living corpses.
Whereas the "Seven Evils Ghost Canon" actively absorbs the power of the yin fiends, transforming oneself into a refined corpse.
Lin Zheyu was intrigued, very curious about the Cultivation Secret Technique in the "Seven Evils Ghost Canon," but it was just curiosity; he dared not let the power of the yin fiends enter his body.
"However, this Soul Secret Skill can be tried for cultivation."
Lin Zheyu read the Soul Secret Skill section seriously; the purpose of this secret technique is mainly to enhance soul strength and spiritual willpower.
This allows those who practice the "Seven Evils Ghost Canon" to retain their intelligence under the influence of the power of the yin fiends.
The secret technique is divided into Visualization Maps and incantations.
The Visualization Map is a Furious Vajra, emitting endless radiance, suppressing the eternal darkness.
Lin Zheyu closed his eyes, visualized the pattern, and chanted the spell: "Great Supre Star, respond to change without stopping; expel evil and bind demons, protect life and safeguard the body; wisdom is clear, mind and spirit are peaceful..."
He felt his chaotic thoughts clearing, and his spirit beca a bit more tranquil.
Under the moonlight, Lin Zheyu closed his eyes, his expression serene.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, running the Turtle Breath Skill through his body, spiritually visualizing the Furious Vajra, softly murmuring the incantation.
Half an hour later.
Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, feeling invigorated.
"It does have so effect, but can using this secret technique truly retain sanity in the erosion of the yin fiends' power?"
Lin Zheyu felt doubt rise in his heart after the attempt.
The combination of the Visualization Map and the incantation indeed had a calming effect, but it wasn't as strong as he'd imagined.
Relying on this secret technique to let the soul retain wisdom under the power of the yin fiends was impossible.
"This secret technique, compared to the Peace Secret Skills sold in the black market, doesn't seem much more effective. Is it because of the Visualization Map?" Lin Zheyu speculated.
He looked at the Visualization Map in the manual, morized the details deeply, then closed his eyes again to start a second cultivation.
Half an hour later.
"It's still not right; the Visualization Map's effect seems dispensable, not matching the Purifying Heart Spell at all," Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.
He felt the problem might lie with the Visualization Map.
A Visualization Map that allows one to visualize, and strengthen the spirit and soul willpower, should have very demanding production conditions.
Trying to achieve such an effect using the ordinary picture in the manual was almost impossible.
Though the effect of the Visualization Map wasn't ideal, Lin Zheyu was still quite satisfied.
At least the effect of the Purifying Heart Spell was good, allowing him to clear away distractions, calm his mind, and focus, which had a notable effect on restoring spirit.
In the morning.
A thin mist hovered.
The temperature dropped last night, and a thin layer of frost had ford on the leaves in the courtyard.
Lin Zheyu walked out of his room and stretched.
Today was quite nice, a good day for hunting.
When he reached the city gate, Lin Zheyu was surprised to find a long line.
"Friend, what's happening here?"
Lin Zheyu asked a man beside him.
"Not sure, seems like they're looking for soone. Soone angered those big powers, and trying to leave the city requires strict checks."
The man said.
Lin Zheyu looked towards the city gates, where many n in Juedi Sect attire were checking portraits one by one.
The person in the portrait was Liang Song.
"So quick with the action?"
"I wonder if the master has left the city in advance?"
Lin Zheyu lightly furrowed his brow.
He continued to inquire, "Friend, do you know when this started being so strict?"
"This morning, I think."
"Yesterday, when I returned from hunting, entering and exiting the city gate wasn't this strict," the man said.
Hearing this, Lin Zheyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Liang Song heard the news yesterday, imdiately went to inform him, and left directly after.
Once out of the city, finding a place deep in the mountains or forest to hide, finding him would be nearly impossible.
Finally, it was Lin Zheyu's turn.
Leaving the city was strictly checked; a middle-aged man inspected Lin Zheyu's face to see if it had been disguised.
Fortunately, Lin Zheyu changed his appearance by subtly adjusting facial muscles and skin, different from ordinary disguise thods.
"Open the bag for inspection."
After confirming Lin Zheyu wasn't disguised, the Juedi Sect disciple eyed Lin Zheyu's bulging bag with malintent and said.
They used strict checks as a pretext, inspecting travelers' bags when leaving the city, taking what they fancied.
