Chapter 1939 398: The Strategy of Maneuvering
In an instant, the cave was brightly lit.
Lin Yifan was very happy, finally able to see the true appearance of the cave.
He looked around and found many demons and monsters, various corpses everywhere, but the most terrifying were those dried corpses, as if they still had life, staring at you, making you dare not look too much.
Not long after, Lin Yifan seemed to have stepped on something hard yet soft, and couldn't help but look down.
Finding a path paved with dried corpses, he was startled and wanted to leap into the air.
"Why are you so jumpy? Haven't you seen the world?"
Xiangshan Corpse King suspected Lin Yifan's identity again. This person is definitely not a Yin Spirit Master, as for why he laid out the Ghost Army Command Formation and owns the Blood Yin Banner, it might be stolen or picked up and learned from some Immortal's Cave Mansion.
Currently, Lin Yifan still has some use value, if he cannot teach anything useful shortly, he will slaughter Lin Yifan immediately, blood sacrifice his Blood Yin Banner, then seize all treasures from Lin Yifan.
"No! No! The cultivation environment set up by the senior is somewhat different from the junior's, hence the shock." Lin Yifan explained.
"How does your Gen Ghost Palace arrange living and cultivation places?" Xiangshan Corpse King inquired.
Things really come when you least expect them, Lin Yifan was truly speechless.
However, a flash of inspiration reminded him of the place where that wretched woman in red cultivated, so he replied: "In our Gen Ghost Palace, many dried corpses are placed around the room, and the cultivation area is a blood pool, not a path paved with corpses."
This answer was somewhat unexpected to Xiangshan Corpse King.
Because, as far as he knew, cultivators of Gen Ghost Palace indeed liked to cultivate in the blood pool, for various reasons he didn't know.
"Could he really have been too shocked to react? Impossible, his expression has betrayed him."
Xiangshan Corpse King maintained a suspicious attitude, unwilling to trust Lin Yifan completely.
Arriving at Xiangshan Corpse King's training area, Lin Yifan found many corpses that were bloody, some nearly freshly dead.
"Senior, are these the cultivators who disappeared in Xiangshan?"
"Correct! They are my treasures, and I appreciate them coming to me."
Such an answer was infuriating, Lin Yifan almost couldn't restrain himself from acting out.
Reaching the cultivation area, Xiangshan Corpse King sat down cross-legged and said to Lin Yifan: "Alright, you can teach me how to refine the Blood Yin Banner now."
Lin Yifan wasted no time, immediately explaining the steps.
He had seen that wretched woman in red practice and had learned some basic steps from Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor's books, so he explained methodically what he knew.
Upon hearing Lin Yifan's explanation, Xiangshan Corpse King found it somewhat credible, so he followed Lin Yifan's instructions.
Soon, his Blood Yin Banner showed some promise, at least it could gather spirits.
Gathering spirits is crucial for the Blood Yin Banner, without this ability, it's difficult to collect wandering souls and ghosts.
"Not bad, young man, didn't expect you to be proficient."
"Trust is in the hands of the senior; if the senior believes, then what the junior says is right, if not, then everything is wrong." Lin Yifan responded.
"Perhaps I overthought, hope young brother doesn't mind. Continue, how is the next step refined?"
"Senior, this step was barely passed, isn't it a bit hasty?" Lin Yifan inquired.
Since he didn't know much, he didn't want to lay all his cards on the table at once.
"What hurry? No hurry! No hurry!" Xiangshan Corpse King replied.
"My master advised that refining the Blood Yin Banner shouldn't be rushed, or it could easily fail, hope the senior weighs this carefully." Lin Yifan persuaded.
Xiangshan Corpse King fell into contemplation.
Lin Yifan indeed knew a few things; if his impatience really destroyed the Blood Yin Banner, he'd have to slaughter many more lives, so he listened to Lin Yifan's advice and focused on refining this step.
During this period, Lin Yifan continuously surveyed the surroundings, intending to find a way to escape.
Gently stomping his foot, he discovered this cave of Xiangshan Corpse King was protected by a powerful Prohibition Formation, making it difficult for him to use the Earth Escape Technique to leave.
Applying the Shadow Clone Technique, he might not get far before being caught.
After pondering, he felt staying in the cave would be better, at least it could save his life.
Focused in cultivation, Xiangshan Corpse King saw Lin Yifan's subtle actions through half-closed eyes.
Although Lin Yifan didn't flee, his intentions weren't pure; he was difficult to use, possibly a counterfeit, and had to be guarded against.
In this cave, every move Lin Yifan made didn't escape his discerning eyes, luckily Lin Yifan didn't attempt anything, or he would certainly be killed.
After cultivating for most of the day, his spirit-gathering skills made progress, he started pressing Lin Yifan: "Can we proceed to the next step?"
Lin Yifan felt agitated at heart, really didn't want to deal with Xiangshan Corpse King. However, not showing it, he forced himself to remain calm: "Yes!"
Seeing Lin Yifan's calm demeanor, Xiangshan Corpse King wanted to laugh.
He increasingly felt Lin Yifan was just a novice, otherwise, his demeanor wouldn't be so stiff.
So be it, he'll listen as much as possible, with some idea better than none.
Lin Yifan babbled on, explaining a lot more.
Xiangshan Corpse King followed methodically, and gradually, he could stabilize spirits.
Gathering spirits involves collecting wandering ghosts, whereas stabilizing them in the Blood Yin Banner requires another technique and cultivation technique.
What Lin Yifan taught was the method of spirit stabilization.
Mastering the spirit stabilization technique isn't easy, Xiangshan Corpse King might need to spend some time on it.
A day later, still not skilled in spirit stabilization, Xiangshan Corpse King clamored to learn the next step.
Lin Yifan took the opportunity to resolve the situation early, so he replied: "To learn the manipulation technique, you need a Yin Spirit Blood Pool, senior will need to leave the cave for a few days to find Yin Spirit Objects outside."
"Okay! Then young brother will stay here, I'll return soon." Xiangshan Corpse King, with no suspicion, departed immediately.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan said: "Senior may not be familiar with Yin Spirit Objects; why not bring the junior along?"
"I know what Yin Spirit Objects are, young brother need not worry."
Xiangshan Corpse King said with a sly face, then strode away.
"Damn! This nasty fellow, so cunning."
Lin Yifan felt extremely resentful, but now, he had no choice.
Upon leaving the cave, Xiangshan Corpse King cast a spell to seal the cave, preventing Lin Yifan from having any chance to escape.
