Chapter 450: Chapter 11 Heavenly Star Soul Jade

The physical body is destroyed, and not long after, the soul will also dissipate.

This is the common understanding in the Cultivator World.

Yet, when Ghost Cultivator Luo Yan’s physical body died, his soul astonishingly preserved itself, which aroused Lin Feng’s suspicions.

Although Lin Feng’s research into “Ghost Cultivators” was not deep and he was unclear how they managed to attach their souls to other objects, he was very clear about one thing.

Prior to obtaining those Ghost Cultivator secret techniques, Luo Yan’s soul survived because it was attached to the small boat, and that was enough to explain a lot of things.

This small boat had some eerie aspects to it from the beginning, and thereafter, Luo Yan started to cultivate the Ghost Cultivator secret techniques, thus the boat transformed into a Ghost Ship.

…

Lin Feng, without changing his expression, said, “How many years have you been a Ghost Cultivator?”

Luo Yan did not wish to communicate too much with Lin Feng, worried about slipping up again.

However, Lin Feng’s methods were formidable, restraining him firmly; if Luo Yan refused to answer, he feared Lin Feng would use those terrifying tactics against him.

Reluctantly, Luo Yan said, “I’ve been attached to the Ghost Ship for three hundred years, and have been a Ghost Cultivator for two hundred years.”

Lin Feng said, “It took a hundred years just to become a Ghost Cultivator? Your cultivation talent is really… tsk tsk.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s contemptuous look, Luo Yan was instantly furious.

Ghost Cultivators have their pride as well.

Furthermore, Ghost Cultivators value their dignity even more than ordinary cultivators.

He retorted, “What do you know? Becoming a Ghost Cultivator is the most difficult of cultivations. A hundred years to become a Ghost Cultivator is considered to be a super genius. I’ve been a Ghost Cultivator for two hundred years now, and my soul power is already equivalent to a strong practitioner of the Yin Yang Realm’s Eighth Layer Heaven. Once my soul power reaches the level of a Creation Realm cultivator, I can leave the Mist Magnetic Lake.”

Lin Feng, with a smile that was not a smile, said, “Becoming a Ghost Cultivator in a hundred years, you say? That means in the hundred years before you became a Ghost Cultivator, your soul didn’t dissipate. That really surprises me. What kind of treasure do you have on this boat?”

Luo Yan’s face changed color again and again. He had thought Lin Feng was just making casual conversation, but once again, he’d been tricked into speaking by Lin Feng. Luo Yan cursed Lin Feng inside for his despicableness and shamelessness but did not answer Lin Feng’s question, choosing instead to stay silent.

With the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire dancing on his fingertips, Lin Feng said, “If you’re going to be uncooperative like this, then I’ll have to let you taste the flavor of the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire.”

“Kid, don’t push it too far. We’re in the midst of Mist Magnetic Lake. If you push me into a corner, we might as well die together.”

Luo Yan roared angrily, his cold eyes glaring viciously at Lin Feng, wishing he could devour Lin Feng whole.

Lin Feng chuckled coldly. If a normal cultivator made such a threat, Lin Feng would indeed be cautious, but Luo Yan’s threat didn’t concern him at all. To preserve his life and become a Ghost Cultivator, which was neither human nor ghost, showed just how afraid of death Luo Yan was.

“Then let’s see if I dare to burn this shabby boat. Besides, having control over you and possessing a map myself, navigating through the Mist Magnetic Lake won’t be difficult. After that, burning you to death won’t be too late,” Lin Feng countered with a threat.

Luo Yan, hearing this, turned pale, thinking of all the hardships he had faced to become a Ghost Cultivator, enduring trials and tribulations to see the day when his soul power would reach the level of a Creation Realm cultivator—perhaps within a hundred years, he would finally be free of this accursed Mist Magnetic Lake, able to live like a normal person. But now, was he really going to die at this young man’s hands?

He was not willing to die like this.

“I’ll spare you for now. Wait a hundred years, when I can leave this Mist Magnetic Lake and cultivate a physical body, then I will have my revenge and flay you a thousand times.”

Thinking of this, Luo Yan took a deep breath and said, “This small boat originally belonged to an extremely formidable cultivator, and it’s inlaid with a piece of Heavenly Star Soul Jade. My Primordial Spirit is attached to this piece of Heavenly Star Soul Jade, which allowed it to not dissipate.”

“Heavenly Star Soul Jade?”

Lin Feng inhaled sharply.

He had heard from the Fire Kirin that this Heavenly Star Soul Jade was born on the moon above the depths of the Endless Galaxy World.

The moon is the most revered among the stars.

The power of moonlight is the most suitable for enhancing Soul Power, but cultivators are unable to draw on the moonlight’s power to enhance their own strength.

However, it’s said that some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures can draw on the power of moonlight, such as the “Heavenly Star Soul Jade” that could only be found on the moon.

The Heavenly Star Soul Jade is a piece of jade formed from the concentration of the power of moonlight; it can absorb the power of moonlight.

And even if a cultivator’s physical body dies, if the soul attaches to the Heavenly Star Soul Jade, it can continue to live on.

But the Heavenly Star Soul Jade is an extremely rare treasure. The Fire Kirin had searched many places in years past but had not been able to find the Heavenly Star Soul Jade.

Lin Feng said, “Heavenly Star Soul Jade, truly a fine thing indeed. I have never seen this thing, let me have a look.”

…

“Don’t go too far.” Luo Yan said with a dark expression.

Lin Feng coldly said, “What, is even looking at it not allowed? If you don’t show some appreciation, I will have to take matters into my own hands.”

“Hmph, you obviously want to snatch my Heavenly Star Soul Jade. This treasure is crucial to me; I would rather perish with you here in Mist Magnetic Lake than hand over the Heavenly Star Soul Jade to you.” Luo Yan said fiercely, as if ready to fight Lin Feng to the death.

“Perish together? Have you still not understood your situation at this point? Even if you wanted to perish with me, do you have the capability? I can control you with the Heavenly Fire, take you to the shore, then kill you. If you don’t believe me, shall we have a fight to the death and see who will fall?” Lin Feng said with a sneer.

“You… despicable!”

Luo Yan was furiously enraged.

Lin Feng chuckled coldly and said, “An evil demon who kills without blinking an eye is calling me despicable? That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.”

“You think you have the upper hand? But if I use the Soul Disintegration Technique, my soul will be destroyed, and so will the boat. Then, both of us will die in Mist Magnetic Lake.”

Luo Yan said viciously.

“Soul Disintegration Technique?”

Lin Feng cursed under his breath. This Luo Yan knew quite a few soul secret skills. Lin Feng also knew he couldn’t push Luo Yan too far; if this guy really did risk it all to perish with him, then he’d be left weeping without tears.

Lin Feng said, “How about we choose a middle path?”

“What middle path?” Luo Yan asked in a deep voice.

“That Heavenly Star Soul Jade, let’s split it half and half. You benefit, I benefit, everyone’s happy, how about that?” Lin Feng said.

“You… dream on!” Luo Yan spat out angrily, gnashing his teeth. His soul’s advancement still depended on the Heavenly Star Soul Jade.

Giving Lin Feng half of the Heavenly Star Soul Jade would be like taking his life.
