After comforting the Rune Spirit, Li Chengfeng deliberately lowered his voice.
Making his voice sound somewhat immature, he said, "Is everything you said true? Then I am truly grateful to your family's ancestor for allowing me to obtain such great benefits. Feel free to mention any requests you have."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiang was overjoyed. He didn't expect the Rune Spirit to be as naive as the ancestor had said, having only recently awakened its intelligence. He had managed to coax it around with just a few words.
So he continued, "The ancestor would like to ask the Rune Spirit to help with a small matter, regarding this item..."
As he spoke, he raised a box above his head and continued, "This item is Thunder Accumulation Wood, which the ancestor bought back from the Treasure Pavilion at a great cost.
During the auction, the ancestor even incurred a large debt, which he only slowly repaid later, showing how precious it is.
Thunder Accumulation Wood is a treasure that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would be willing to go bankrupt for."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he remained calm and steadily asked, "What is the use of this wood? And how can I help you?"
Feng Jiang said with a smile, "Actually, it's very simple. Rune Spirit, you only need to take this piece of Thunder Accumulation Wood to the other side and let it be nourished by purer ghost energy.
After a hundred years, it will turn into Thunder Soul Wood. At that time, it can be used to refine treasures.
The reason why this piece of Thunder Accumulation Wood is so valuable is because it still retains a trace of vitality, which means that under the nourishment of ghost energy, it may grow.
When the time comes, the ancestor will definitely not forget the Rune Spirit's kindness in helping."
Li Chengfeng deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be very interested, and said, "Bring that Thunderstruck Wood over here, let me take a look."
Feng Jiang didn't waste any more time. With a wave of his hand, the box containing the Thunder Accumulation Wood flew directly towards the seal.
Li Chengfeng reached out and grabbed it, forming a suction force, and the box landed in his hand. He opened the box and took a look, unable to suppress the joy in his heart, thinking, "This is truly a good treasure!"
This piece of wood was unremarkable, as if it had been struck by lightning countless times, leaving only a little over half a meter in length.
However, the lightning on it kept wandering, making crackling sounds.
Moreover, this piece of wood was made of some unknown material, which could actually allow thunder and ghost energy to fuse into one.
One must know that ghost energy is most afraid of thunder, and a single lightning bolt can scatter ghost energy.
The rules that allowed these two extreme things to coexist truly made Li Chengfeng overjoyed.
He immediately put the Thunder Accumulation Wood into his own Hell Space, without sending it to the other side at all.
Because he didn't know if he could get it back after sending it over, so to be on the safe side, putting it in his own pocket was the most appropriate.
Feng Jiang was very happy. Being able to complete the task assigned by the ancestor made him feel very satisfied, as if it was even more joyful than advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.
He once again requested Li Chengfeng, "Rune Spirit, next I would like to ask you to help me transport ghost energy, so that I can get help when condensing Earthly Fiend energy."
He had a matter-of-course look.
Li Chengfeng was secretly pleased, but on the surface, he stabilized his mind and said, "I can help you, but what benefits are you going to give me?
I've been here for so long and haven't had any souls to eat.
I want to eat a human soul, or human blood.
If you can help me do that, I will help you. I've helped you so much, and you haven't given me any benefits, that's a bit unreasonable, right?"
Feng Jiang was stunned. He didn't expect the Rune Spirit to know how to ask for benefits, it seemed that its intelligence had reached the level of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old.
His heart stirred, and he said with a smile, "That's easy to do, I happen to have a soul here, and I'll give it to the Rune Spirit.
After eating this soul, you must transport ghost energy to me."
Li Chengfeng said with a smile, "Of course, as long as you give me a soul to taste, I will definitely not treat you badly, the ghost energy you need will definitely be purer."
Feng Jiang said happily, "Okay, then please accept it, sir."
He slapped the top of his head, and a soul flew out. This soul was sealed and in a dazed state.
When Li Chengfeng saw it, his eyebrows twitched. He knew who this soul was—it was the skinny monkey, Lu Xin.
The skinny monkey had pointed out the disgraceful things between Feng Jia, Feng Hai, and his mother that day, but he didn't expect that in less than a month, he would be harmed by the Feng family, and even his soul would be taken away.
Li Chengfeng carefully observed and discovered that this kind of seal was not ordinary. It was not simply sealing the soul or refining it into a magic weapon, but rather making the soul suffer the pain of ten thousand poisons and evils piercing the heart.
That kind of pain acted on the soul, making people heartbroken.
Li Chengfeng secretly sighed at the Feng family's powerful foundation, and at the same time felt sympathy for the skinny monkey's encounter.
The skinny monkey had just identified the crimes of the Feng clan, but he was harmed by the Feng clan and tortured by Feng Jiang in every possible way.
Li Chengfeng remained calm and absorbed the soul into the seal with a single breath.
In Feng Jiang's eyes, Li Chengfeng had eaten the skinny monkey's soul.
He thought to himself that this skinny monkey had helped him a lot. Originally, he wanted to torture the skinny monkey for ten or a hundred years until his soul collapsed. Daring to identify the Feng clan was really daring.
But today, he had no choice but to take it out. Just now, his second soul was seriously injured, and some of the remaining souls were swallowed by him.
Only this soul was still suffering punishment and had not been swallowed. Now, in a hurry, he dedicated it to the Rune Spirit.
Li Chengfeng remained calm and recorded everything with the Shadow Recording Pearl. Feng Wuya's numerous crimes, one by one, were all recorded on file.
Although he couldn't do anything to him now, this evidence was irrefutable at a critical moment, at least it could convince the public.
After receiving the skinny monkey's soul, Li Chengfeng put it aside for the time being, planning to wake it up when he had the opportunity.
See if he could find a body for him to seize, so that he could cultivate again.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he looked at Feng Jiang, this talented-looking guy who harbored evil intentions.
He sneered and said, "Okay, since I've received your benefits, I will definitely help you. Hurry up and cultivate."
After hearing the Rune Spirit's urging, Feng Jiang immediately sat cross-legged, opened the jade box, took out the Nine Nether Earthly Fiend, and began to absorb the power inside by circulating his cultivation technique.
He originally wanted to cultivate with his second soul, but his second soul was already dying.
He hated the deceased Li Xu to the bone, and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Xu, you are a shameless dog thief, you still want to harm me even after you die, otherwise my advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage would have been more perfect."
After speaking, he had to calm down and comprehend and absorb the power of the Nine Nether Earthly Fiend.
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and immediately injected a stream of pure ghost energy into Feng Jiang's body.
Feng Jiang immediately felt comfortable all over, it was indeed effective. He became more and more convinced of the ancestor's plan, and sighed that the ancestor had planned everything, having planned for the Rune Spirit to help him cultivate.
However, while Li Chengfeng was injecting ghost energy, he suddenly mixed in countless small runes, these runes were the sealing method.
Feng Jiang felt something was wrong. The surging ghost energy suddenly carried a strange power. He tried to stop, but it was too late.
Suddenly, a powerful sealing force erupted from his whole body, limbs, and bones, and a huge seal completely trapped him, just like the Rune Spirit.
He couldn't move, and all his methods couldn't be used. The more he struggled, the stronger the seal became, this was the power of the Rune Spirit.
Feng Jiang was stunned there, looking at his body being bound by layers of seals in disbelief, his eyes filled with horror and despair.
He knew that he had fallen for the Rune Spirit's trick and had been completely sealed.
