If Feng Xia and Gu Caiyi were here, they would surely gasp in surprise.
Because the face of this Yin Soul is none other than the neighbor they had lived with for many years.
Bai iling!
She had clearly died, so why would she appear on Xiao Huan Mountain?
All of this dates back to the ti when Luo Chen subdued the Ghost General.
...
He had descended the second floor of the Spirit dicine Hall.
Luo Chen was about to leave the city and return to Xiao Huan Mountain.
However, his footsteps ca to a halt at the stairway exit.
In front of a rotting wooden window.
A delicate figure was leaning on it, staring at him timidly.
Luo Chen raised his sleeve, preparing to dismiss her.
"Such an insignificant Yin Soul, a being of no consequence, dares to observe ."
This kind of Yin Soul, so weak it could hardly be considered a Ghost Soldier, died too abruptly.
It held no obsession, no regret, no resentnt, no anger.
Even though it had died, even with a cultivation level in its lifeti, under the Ghost Realm, it could only be a weak Yin Soul.
Luo Chen’s Cleaning Technique at Finalization may not be effective against powerful Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals comparable to Foundation Establishnt Cultivators,
but it could easily dispatch hordes of these weak Yin Souls.
During his previous entrance to the Spirit dicine Hall, he had also swiftly cleared the area.
However, just as Luo Chen was about to wave his sleeve, his hand stopped.
He looked at the timid eyes and inexplicably felt a jump in his heart.
Subconsciously, he called out.
"Xiao Ling?"
The figure trembled then fled hurriedly as if startled.
Luo Chen paused, his mind instantly understanding sothing.
Without any hesitation, he chased her out of the Spirit dicine Hall.
In the end, he stopped outside the familiar building of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
"Is it because I had cleared out the ghost souls nearby that she dared to co out?"
With this thought in mind, Luo Chen entered the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
Upon entering, the interior of the building was empty, with scattered dicine cabinets everywhere.
Everything had been swept away when the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion had left all those years ago.
Luo Chen walked through the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
The first floor, the second floor, even the third floor... the Yin Soul from before was nowhere to be seen.
Finally, he reached the back courtyard of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
In just a split second, his gaze landed on the millstone in the middle.
Luo Chen was not unfamiliar with this millstone.
There are several thods and processes for handling dicinal herbs - grinding them into powder is one.
Convenient herbs are usually processed using a pestle and mortar.
He himself kept a whole set in his storage bag.
And bigger herbs required the use of a millstone.
Luo Chen released his Spirit Consciousness and gazed gently at the little hole in the center of the millstone.
The breath of a Yin Soul was hiding within.
"Is it you, Xiao Ling?"
"If it’s you, then co out."
"I’m Luo Chen; your neighbor."
"The person who used to co and buy dicine from you every day?"
There was no response.
All he sensed was the shivering Yin Energy.
Luo Chen thought for a mont then said softly, "Do you want to know how to use a Fire Dog Tail to refine a Fasting Elixir?"
Whoosh!
A small and ethereal head erged from the hole of the millstone, looking curiously at Luo Chen.
Looking at the familiar face, Luo Chen finally confird.
This was the ghost spirit Bai iling had turned into after death.
Unbelievably, in this Ghost City teeming with evil ghosts and overflowing with resentful souls.
She, as a re Yin Soul, had actually survived without being swallowed by stronger counterparts.
After approaching, Luo Chen finally understood why she had survived.
"So this millstone, after being soaked in Yin Energy, beca a Lower Grade Magic Tool."
"No, it should be called a ’Ghost Tool’!"
The tools used for processing valuable herbs often had high classifications.
They were at least of the Lower Grade.
The Foundation Establishnt True Cultivator of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion naturally had no use for such things.
Yet, it had provided Bai iling’s Yin Soul with a place to live.
Moreover, Luo Chen could sense that If Bai iling were to operate the millstone, she could even crush so Yin Soul Ghost Creatures that attacked her.
Initially, the purpose of the millstone was to grind dicine.
But now, it was used to grind ghosts.
Years had passed, and Bai iling had made the Ghost Mill her ho, and they had ford a deep symbiotic relationship.
"The Ghost City will change and will no longer be a paradise for you all."
"Let take you away!"
Luo Chen touched the millstone. Unexpectedly, Bai iling did not react with aggression.
Instead, she lay quietly in the hole of the millstone.
Luo Chen nodded his approval and carefully stowed the millstone away.
In this way, as long as he brought this Ghost Mill Magic Tool out of the Big River Ghost City, Bai iling could leave with him.
Even without sufficient Yin Energy to sustain her, Bai iling could still remain comfortable by relying on the Magic Tool.
...
On Xiao Huan Mountain.
Luo Chen was sitting on a lounge chair, holding a storage bag in his hand.
His gaze fell on Bai iling, who was flitting in and out of the mist like a child.
He gave a slight smile.
"Enough play."
"Hee hee..."
"How’s your progression on the Soul-Refining True Technique I taught you?"
Bai iling stood in front of him, her fingers fiddling subconsciously. She looked sowhat wronged.
"Ee ee..."
It seed as if she was saying that the technique was too difficult and she did not want to learn it.
Luo Chen’s expression beca solemn, "You must learn, and learn seriously. Otherwise, you can’t regain your mory, nor can you embark on the path of Ghost Cultivation!"
"Ee ee."
Bai iling pouted her mouth and flew into the Green Reed House.
Then, she ca out dragging a black piece of wood.
She squatted beside Luo Chen, staring sorrowfully at the wood piece.
Seeing this, Luo Chen also felt relieved.
The wood piece was naturally the one containing the Soul-Refining True Technique among the relics left behind by Gao Tingyuan.
Luo Chen’s Soul Absorption Technique and Soul Stabilization Oath were all learned from it.
