Chapter 38: Revealing the Original Form, Returning to Green Bamboo

Upon discovering that the Huangjing Ghost Child could generate spiritual energy after being purified, Jiang Jun intentionally activated the Five-Colored Stone to accelerate this process.

However, the elite-level Huangjing Ghost Child is deeply shrouded in eeriness and its strange characteristics are extremely stubborn. To completely purify it requires a long and arduous process.

He had no choice but to settle for second best and disguised himself again to attend an exchange meeting, where he exchanged two Wanderer-level Yellow Spirit Ghost Babies from Granny Sun.

Jiang Jun is now at the Fusion Realm, and his three protective artifacts are no less powerful than elite-level monsters. He has made much faster progress in purifying the wandering-level monster dolls.

In just half a month, the two Huangjing ghost children were completely purified.

However, these two are clearly not as durable as the elite-level Huangjing Ghost Child.

After being purified, their intelligence was almost completely destroyed, leaving only a wisp of obscured spirituality hidden within, harboring the hope of regaining their intelligence.

The loss of their intelligence also caused a change in their form. Their limbs, which grew after the transformation, curled up, leaving only a vague resemblance to human shapes.

At the top of each of the two Solomon's seal plants, a cluster of tender green leaves grows in turn, three on one plant and five on the other.

"Is this... being reduced to its original form?" Jiang Jun was somewhat uncertain.

He placed the two Solomon's seal plants on the windowsill and found that they could still absorb sunlight and transform spiritual energy, so he nodded in satisfaction.

Unlike the elite-level Solomon's Seal Monster, these two Solomon's Seal plants that have reverted to their original form seem to still need the nourishment of water and fertilizer.

Jiang Jun then rummaged through his house and found two ceramic pots. He also dug up some soil from the green belt and planted two Solomon's seal plants in them.

"It really has become a spiritual plant..." Jiang Jun said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"I have the spiritual plant..." he mused. "My cheap disciple's cultivation can resume. He's already mastered the Pure Lotus, so I can teach him the 'Five-Colored Stone' visualization diagram."

He naturally wouldn't approach the other party in his real-life identity.

Jiang Jun held a wooden box in one hand, sensing the ghostly mark within the body of the Huangjing Ghost Child, and picked up a basin of Huangjing in the other.

The next moment, eerie mist descended, taking him to the Mirror Realm.

"This is... Xiaozhu Peak?" He was slightly surprised.

"Ouch!" Someone suddenly fell to the ground beside them, looking up in a daze. "Teacher?"

The visitor was Cai Liang.

"As expected, if I come to the Ghost Realm, he will be forced to follow me." Jiang Jun confirmed this information.

He looked at Cai Liang and nodded slightly: "Not bad, you haven't been slacking off these days, and you've successfully cultivated the Pure Lotus."

Cai Liang's eyes lit up, and he got up from the ground: "So, did the teacher summon me here this time to teach me a new technique?"

"Exactly." Jiang Jun nodded, raised his hand and killed a group of scattered monsters. "It's not convenient to transmit the magic here. Let's go upstairs and borrow Master Lin's sacred place for a while."

Cai Liang was very perceptive; he took the bonsai of Solomon's seal from his hand and followed him up to Xiaozhu Peak.

On Xiaozhu Peak, there exists a kind of elusive monster, called "Zhu Koulang".

It grows on bamboo rhizomes, is about a foot tall, and is entirely green. It likes to tap on bamboo poles, making a "knock knock knock" sound.

If an ordinary person enters a bamboo forest, they are easily attracted by this sound, wander around in circles, and eventually get lost, die of thirst and exhaustion, and become nourishment for the bamboo.

However, it is almost harmless to a Demon Tamer who has completed the Concentration Chapter of cultivation.

However, these things are too weak to even drop incomplete or broken monsters, so no one bothers to hunt them.

In front of Jiang Jun and his companion was a bamboo rattle that seemed oblivious to its own mortality.

"Knock...knock...knock..." The hollow bamboo pole made a muffled sound.

Upon seeing this, Cai Liang frowned slightly, picked up a bamboo pole from the ground, and, empowered by the force of suppressing an object, lashed it hard.

"Ah—" Zhu Koulang screamed in agony, but he was pinned down by the bamboo whip and had nowhere to hide.

In just a couple of moments, it was drained to the point of near death, on the verge of disappearing.

"Wait!" Jiang Jun raised his hand to stop him.

He looked down at the strange creature, a thought flashing through his mind: 'After being purified, the Yellow Essence Ghost Child can absorb sunlight and transform spiritual energy. This Bamboo Knocker is also a plant-based ghost; could it do the same?'

With a flick of his finger, a purple light sword slashed out, severing the bamboo whip it was on, and he gestured to Cai Liang: "Dig it out for me."

Cai Liang didn't understand, but he obediently did as he was told, and soon he had uprooted the bamboo grove.

The two walked slowly and soon arrived at the projection of the Green Bamboo Temple.

Qingzhu Temple has no supernatural objects or lord-level monsters. When Lin Zhengyang and his disciples enter and leave the monster world, they can only go with the flow. Therefore, they have not properly managed the projection of their own Taoist temple.

Now, a perfectly good Taoist temple has been occupied by a group of scattered, monster-like creatures.

Jiang Jun raised his hand, and "The Cursed One" flew out, its purple light needles sweeping across, instantly clearing them away.

Suddenly, a divine thought caught his attention.

He responded with divine thoughts.

The other person was taken aback at first, then overjoyed: "So it's you, the real person, who has graced us with your presence? I'll be right back!"

Jiang Jun raised an eyebrow: "What a coincidence, Daoist Master, you're also in the Ghost Realm?"

That wisp of divine thought had dissipated and could no longer be restored to him.

He shook his head, put the matter aside, and with a flick of his sleeve, his inner energy, carrying dust, flew out of the Green Bamboo Temple. The entire temple then became quiet.

Cai Liang, ever the opportunist, found two nearly new prayer cushions: "Teacher, please sit down!"

The two sat cross-legged, and Jiang Jun got straight to the point: "I see that you have already cultivated the Pure Lotus, it's time to start cultivating true qi. Today I will pass on to you the unique method of suppressing objects."

Cai Liang was overjoyed and kowtowed deeply: "Please, Master, impart the Dharma."

Jiang Jun accepted it calmly, raising his hand and pointing a wisp of divine thought carrying the imprint of the "Five-Colored Stone" visualization image, which entered Cai Liang's sea of ​​consciousness: "Enjoy the enlightenment!"

Within Cai Liang's sea of ​​consciousness, the Pure Lotus swayed gently, and his divine sense quickly became immersed in the enlightenment of the "Five-Colored Stone".

Seeing that he was focused on comprehending the mystery, Jiang Jun picked up the bamboo clapper and placed it beside him.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the five-colored stone shimmered slightly, and a strange fluctuation descended upon Zhu Koulang.

This skirmisher-level monster can be purified dozens of times faster than the wandering warrior-level Yellow Essence Monster.

Before long, black smoke billowed from Zhu Koulang's body, purifying the eerie aura. The foot-tall monster also vanished, leaving only a bamboo whip.

Jiang Jun picked it up and sensed it with his divine sense, discovering that the spiritual energy within had completely dissipated, and there was no possibility of reconnecting with the spirit.

Fortunately, a small bamboo shoot tip has sprouted on one of the bamboo nodes, clearly showing that life has not yet faded.

"It's a low-quality monster that can't even produce a flawed monster." He shook his head and placed the bamboo whip in the sunlight.

The Mirror Realm has no sun, but the light from the sky is projected from the sunlight in reality and also has some characteristics of sunlight.

After a while, Jiang Jun keenly sensed that a wisp of spiritual energy was being generated within the bamboo shoot tip.

His spirits lifted: "It really works!"

However, its efficiency is far inferior to that of the Yellow Elf Plant, let alone compared to the elite-level Yellow Elf Ghost Child.

But Jiang Jun was still happy. After all, the fact that the bamboo rattle could be purified into a spiritual plant meant that the Huangjing Ghost Child was not an isolated case.

He can collect more bizarre plants and try to transform them one by one to see which spiritual plant is the most efficient at the same quality.

If we can find a large number of species that can transform spiritual energy, how can the art of suppressing objects not flourish?
