I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chapter 150: Jade Palace

"It is indeed eerie and filled with Yin energy, with a chaotic dance of ghosts... Is it really impossible for a powerful sect to come and exorcise them?"

Chu Shen felt somewhat regretful. Such a large and magnificent palace was actually occupied by ghosts and couldn't be used. It was truly a pity.

Shen Yingzi couldn't help but smile. "It's true, and I can even tell you who lost face in this matter."

Chu Shen was a bit curious. "Who?"

"Lingqi Peak, Zang Long."

Chu Shen was taken aback. "The genius alchemist who is said to possess the essence of the Zang family for ten thousand years?"

He was no longer ignorant. He had some understanding of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, such as the fact that it was divided into one main vein and nine branch veins on the surface, but there were complex connections and interactions between the main figures in secret. Sometimes they cooperated, sometimes they clashed. In general, they could be divided into three factions: the orthodox faction represented by the Holy Lord, the powerful faction formed by the aristocratic families, and the Tianjiao faction with strength but no background.

Of course, these factions had nothing to do with most ordinary disciples. Ordinary disciples belonged to the majority without much say, such as the law enforcement disciples Huo Sumei and Lin Kun that he knew.

Lingqi Peak was the stronghold of the powerful faction, including the four major families of the Chongxue Collection. There were about twenty or thirty families that could be called "aristocratic families" controlling the main positions at various levels.

The Zang family was one of the four major families of the Chongxue Collection and one of the powerful aristocratic families of Lingqi Peak.

However, the aristocratic families in the cultivation world were different from those in the mortal society. Power and wealth were not the main reasons for their continuation. Ultimately, it was because the family had enough talented and strong individuals and a wide network of connections that they could establish a foothold in the cultivation world, which valued strength.

Zang Long was one of the faces of the Zang family. He was not a contemporary figure and had fallen hundreds of years ago. However, the legends and connections he had established during his thousand-year existence still protected the Zang family to this day.

But who would have thought that he also had a dark history of stumbling in the Qunyu Palace.

Shen Yingzi nodded. "That's right, it's him. This happened a thousand years ago. He, who had been trapped at the peak of Spiritual Ascension, wanted to go further and step into the Unity realm. In the end, he set his sights on the Qunyu Palace, hoping to make a breakthrough in the path of spirit forging by using these special ghosts that seemed to be remnants from the ancient Heavenly Court period."

In the end, not only did it end up in embarrassment, but also suffered a backlash due to the use of force. After more than two hundred years of struggle, it eventually fell.

It's a pity that this senior not only has unique skills in refining tools, but also has a strong talent for cultivation. If it weren't for rushing and taking risks in the Qunyu Palace, he would eventually be able to enter the Unity Realm. Empty Void and Mahayana are not impossible to consider."

When Chu Shen heard this, he understood why someone like Zang Long would come to challenge the ghost situation in the Qunyu Palace.

The so-called "spirit forging" is to give spiritual intelligence to a magical tool. The most common method is to cast the soul of a living being into the magical tool as a spiritual catalyst. After accumulating over time, the magical tool becomes alive.

The grasp of "degree" is very important in this casting method.

Killing people recklessly to obtain the souls of living beings, the remaining resentment and hatred are likely to turn into demonic nature, turning the magical tool into a risk of devouring its master.

There are not many fools who are willing to sacrifice themselves to complete the spiritual forging of magical tools, so they cannot be the main source of spiritual forging.

Regular refiners tend to look for those lonely souls and wild ghosts that remain in the world to serve as materials for spiritual forging.

These lonely souls and wild ghosts can avoid reincarnation and often have anomalies. They often lack wisdom and have certain obsessions that can be used as a soft spot for deception: as long as you help them resolve their obsessions or make them believe that becoming a spiritual forging material will give them more opportunities to resolve their obsessions, they are very likely to agree to become a forging material.

The Qunyu Palace has so many ghosts, and they are all high-quality ones with intact appearances and complete spiritual bodies. They even retain a considerable degree of spiritual intelligence...

For refiners, they are definitely the top materials for spiritual forging, and it is not surprising that they can attract geniuses from the Lingqi Peak.

"Didn't you say that the ghosts in the Qunyu Palace are not dangerous? How did it lead to the downfall of a genius?"

Shen Yingzi shrugged, "Not dangerous means that you don't provoke the ghosts in the Qunyu Palace forcibly, or you don't cause damage to the Qunyu Palace.

In order to obtain the ghosts of the Qunyu Palace, Zang Long used many powerful techniques, which triggered the prohibition and ultimately left him severely injured and unable to recover.

Chu Shen suddenly realized that these details would not be provided by the information from the inner palace waist card. It seems that he needs to ask and learn more: "Understood, let's go and take a look, but be careful."

"You still want to go?" Shen Yingzi looked at this audacious junior brother with surprise on her face.

Chu Shen shrugged: "Since we're here."

This... seems reasonable?

Shen Yingzi pursed her lips: "Well, since you're here, let's go and take a look. You won't be satisfied if you don't see it."

Chu Shen smiled, lightly patted Bai Ying, and rushed towards the gate of the Qunyu Palace.

As they walked outside the palace gate, they could increasingly appreciate the extraordinary nature of the Qunyu Palace. Every detail was meticulously crafted, exquisite and magnificent, with a kind of ancient and profound beauty. Even though many years had passed, it still exuded the grandeur and brilliance of its former prosperity.

"Once you step on this jade step, you will officially enter the Qunyu Palace. You should be able to feel it. Be careful and restrain yourself." Shen Yingzi took the lead and stepped on a long jade step covered in moss.

Chu Shen nodded and slowly followed after dismounting from Bai Ying.

Indeed, there was a distinct feeling different from outside the Qunyu Palace. It was a clear sense of division. Crossing a line was like entering an independent space.

The memories of the advanced formation master surged in Chu Shen's mind. This was clearly a sign of the formation generating a "formation momentum."

He had entered the formation!

However... there shouldn't be a problem. The Langxuan Heavenly Palace is filled with talented individuals, so they should be aware of the grand formation in the Qunyu Palace. The fact that Shenyinzi didn't even mention it indicates that this formation is indeed difficult to activate and is usually safe.

Slightly curious, he carefully examined the terrain, engravings, and intricacies of the carvings, moving at a rather slow pace.

Shenyinzi didn't mind and allowed him to study carefully while she went off to play with Baiying.

Due to this slow movement, Chu Shen took nearly an hour to roughly understand the layout of the jade steps. Although he couldn't fully comprehend the core of the Qunyu Palace's formation, he did notice many exquisite arrangements and felt that he had gained a lot.

Thinking about it again, even if it was just understanding this formation, the Qunyu Palace was a treasure trove. It seemed that the Langxuan Heavenly Palace was truly filled with treasures!

Entering through the palace gate, he saw a spacious square, and the bricks on the ground caught his attention.

These seemingly inconspicuous bricks actually contained more than one formation each. And from his perspective as an alchemist, it seemed to also contain traces similar to alchemy, no, not just that, it seemed to also contain inscriptions of talismans...

Could it be this extravagant? Each brick is so complex?

Unable to resist, he got down on the ground to take a closer look.

Shenyinzi, who was beside him, was not surprised. The Qunyu Palace had a reputation, and disciples from other peaks would occasionally come to study here. There were just not many who acted as exaggeratedly as Chu Shen.

But soon, she noticed a faint white shadow swimming through the bricks on the ground, wandering towards Chu Shen.

Instead of warning Chu Shen, she revealed a mischievous smile.

This is going to be interesting!
