Reappear World, Mysterious Clear Palace, Southern Heavenly Pavilion...
On one side of the ancient bookshelf, Song Cheng returned the "Spirit Servant Technique" to the shelf.
In a world where ink flowed like water, there was no light; everything seen was a product of beings like the Master of Mountains and Rivers perceiving the essence of Yin and Yang.
Hearing Lian Chanxi’s words, Song Cheng knew that upon entering Entry Level in the "Spirit Servant Technique," he could capture souls and place them into the Yin Residence.
This was why his son and daughter-in-law, although deceased, had been forcibly ensnared by the She Yitu and concealed within the Yin Residence... and even now, they remained passive occupants in his own Yin Residence.
This world seemed to always emphasize "when one attains the Way, even their pets ascend."
Ghosts could produce Ghost Servants.
Children of Noble Families could create Medicinal Humans and give rise to Visualization-practicing Soul Refiners.
The Spirit of Mountains and Rivers could transform "Pseudo-Profound" to "True Mysterious" with Immortality Peaches.
The Master of Mountains and Rivers, going a step further, can diffuse their power and create powerful Spirit Prayers with secret medicine...
And now, there were Spirit Servants.
The "Spirit Servant Technique" was clearly an essential technique for the Master of Mountains and Rivers.
If a Master of Mountains and Rivers with influential backing existed, they would surely start practicing the "Spirit Servant Technique" as soon as they stepped into this realm, and after spending decades to reach Entry Level, they would switch to another spell.
The energies of black and white surged like the tides of the Blue Sea, passing before Song Cheng’s eyes. Coming back to his senses, he started to allocate points without hesitation.
If the master could indeed share lifespan with the Spirit Servant, wouldn’t that mean he could grant eternal life to all his loved ones?
As the points rapidly decreased, the levels of the "Spirit Servant Technique" also advanced step by step:
From Uninitiated to Entry Level, to Minor Accomplishment, Great Achievement, and then to Perfection.
Countless memories of cultivation flooded Song Cheng’s mind, enabling him to clearly understand the functions of this spell at each stage.
At Entry Level, he could capture a soul into the Yin Residence and maintain the Living Soul’s original lifespan, ensuring that even if the body perished, the soul would not disperse.
At Minor Accomplishment, even if the lifespan had ended, one could share the lifespan of the owner of the Yin Residence, but there was a limit; it could not exceed one hundred percent of the original maximum lifespan. The Spirit Servant would be completely obedient to the master.
At Great Achievement, the Spirit Servant could temporarily utilize the master’s heightened level through Visualization to comprehend and practice cultivation techniques. After ascending in realm, the lifespan would be correspondingly extended.
At Perfection, with the secret technique of the mountains and rivers, one could directly transform the soul of the Spirit Servant into a Ghostly Soul. In this way, the transformed Ghostly Soul could inhabit the Master of Mountains and Rivers’ domain, becoming beings like tree spirits or stone monsters. However, this technique severely harmed the user, sacrificing lifespan with each use, which made it the epitome of uselessness; any Master of Mountains and Rivers with a bit of sense would not choose to practice it.
In an instant, 15,360 points disappeared, but the "Spirit Servant Technique" had reached Perfection.
Song Cheng slowly shook his head.
Indeed, he had been overly optimistic about sharing lifespan for eternal life.
And indeed, the most cost-effective feature of the "Spirit Servant Technique" was reaching Entry Level; beyond that, almost no Master of Mountains and Rivers needed to continue practicing it. But for him, it was perfect.
’Ling, there’s hope for you now.’
Now that Ling was still in her nineties, Song Cheng planned to quickly return and transform Ling into a Ghostly Soul using the Perfected Spirit Servant Technique.
Apart from Ling, Ying, and even Madam Tong, An Chenyu, Yu, Su Mengzhen, Minor Accomplishment, Lingxue, Hua, and Ouyang Chuchu could all do the same...
After all, a Spirit Servant was entirely different from the previously mentioned Medicinal Human.
A Medicinal Human was seen as disposable, a temporary exploitation of potential to boost power.
But a Spirit Servant required the expenditure of the user’s effort and lifespan, which in turn could grant the Servant a terrifying aptitude.
In the Human World, where solutions to problems were desperately sought but never found, in the Reappear World’s Mysterious Clear Palace, such issues were unexpectedly and easily resolved.
This ensured that he had no more worries.
Song Cheng couldn’t help but feel elated.
Although one spell had cost 15,360 points, he felt it was worth it.
"Song, the ’Forgetfulness Technique’ is over here," Lian Chanxi’s voice called out.
Song Cheng followed the sound and reached out to the jade slip. Merely touching it, the information inside was transmitted to him. This information only allowed one to vaguely know its function but did not enable one to understand it as precisely as after mastering the spell.
Upon this touch, Song Cheng understood that upon entering Entry Level in "Forgetfulness Technique," one could clear excess information from oneself.
These spells were very profound. Once you touched the jade slip, it would convert into many thoughts that swirled in your mind instead of being stored in your memory to be summoned at will. Unless you fully digested these spells, they would always circulate like stray thoughts...
While practicing other cultivation methods, these stray thoughts would constantly emerge, preventing one from calming their mind and leading to diminished returns or even total failure.
Thus, the practice of two spells at the same time was indeed justifiable, at least derived from the experience and lessons of sects with true heritage.
"Forgetfulness Technique" was clearly also an essential spell.
After Song Cheng absorbed the information, a new line of information popped up on the panel:
[Battle Method]
Forgetfulness Technique (Earth Level Grade C) (Uninitiated (0/1024))
Without hesitating, he invested 1,024 points into it, bringing the "Forgetfulness Technique" to Entry Level.
Suddenly, the effects of Minor Accomplishment began to materialize faintly in Song Cheng’s mind.
He could thus decide, to either forget the subsequent cultivation methods or to continue practicing.
After sensing for a moment, Song Cheng understood.
’"Forgetfulness Technique" at Minor Accomplishment allows one to help others forget, but the extent of forgetting... seems to be known only after practicing it.’
Looking at "Entry Level (0/2048)," Song Cheng considered and then allocated points, as the ability to "make others forget" seemed quite appealing.
In a flash, the cultivation memories settled.
’"Forgetfulness Technique" at Minor Accomplishment, can be used on Divine Souls, any being with a lower realm than mine can be permanently stripped of certain memories...’
