Meng Zhang, who returned to the sect's main hall, began to sort out his harvest.

Nearly twenty ghosts provided him with a large amount of valuable knowledge, including many aspects of cultivation.

The last two soldiers provided Meng Zhang with two very practical skills.

A skill is about how to use the power of the soul to extract soul power.

To the soul, soul power is like the true energy possessed by the cultivator's physical body.

The soul absorbs the yin energy from the underworld and refines the soul power.

Soul power can condense Yin Qi and condense various weapons and armors for use by the soul.

Soul power can also drive Yin Qi and cast ghost-specific spells - soul magic.

Another skill is a very simple soul skill - pathfinding.

The rules of heaven and earth in the underworld are very different from those in the Yang world. It is difficult to cast spells in the Yang world in the underworld.

After all, Meng Zhang was also a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining, but after falling into the underworld, not only did he fight with his bare hands, he couldn't even tell the direction, and he didn't look like a cultivator at all.

Now, Meng Zhang, who has mastered two practical skills, has initially gained the strength to survive in the underworld.

For the rest of the night, Meng Zhang took a good rest.

The next morning, after Meng Zhang finished his morning classes, he recorded all his knowledge and put the recorded books in the Sutra Pavilion.

In the morning, Meng Zhang and Tian Zhen continued to tame the three wind-chasing horses and practiced riding skills by the way.

In the afternoon, Meng Zhang and Tian Zhen went to Lingtian to help.

The Taiyi Sect suddenly lost so many people. The advantage is that the burden on the spiritual veins is less, and the remaining people can absorb more spiritual energy.

The disadvantage is that there are fewer manpower, but there are still many things to do. Especially the nineteen acres of spiritual land, Taiyi Sect's largest financial source, needs careful management and care.

Fortunately now, the heavy work such as plowing and sowing has been completed long ago, leaving only the easier daily maintenance work.

When the Lingtian harvest comes, the Taiyi Sect people will be extremely busy.

Tian Zhen also thought that Meng Zhang had suggested whether he should recruit a few casual cultivators to supplement the Taiyi Sect's manpower.

Taiyi Sect has always been relatively conservative when it comes to recruiting casual cultivators.

The main reason is that the Taiyi Sect is a small sect with too few people. If a large number of casual cultivators are recruited, they may be dominated by non-customers and the birds will occupy the dove's nest.

Meng Zhang, who had experienced the betrayal of Zhenling Taoist, had no confidence in the loyalty of casual cultivators.

Even those casual cultivators who usually have a good reputation may not be reliable at critical moments.

Of course, if Taiyi Sect wants to develop and grow, it must have more disciples.

If we just rely on the mortal villages and towns under the Taiyi Sect to provide disciples, the speed will be too slow.

Although he did not agree to Tian Zhen's proposal on the spot, Meng Zhang still took the matter of recruiting people to his heart.

At night, Meng Zhang entered the trial site again.

This time, Meng Zhang was not in a hurry to hunt ghosts. Instead, he began to circulate his soul, absorbing the ubiquitous Yin Qi in the underworld, and extracting soul power.

Meng Zhang has a high level of understanding and mastered this skill in a few seconds.

Although supplemented by ghosts, Meng Zhang's current soul strength is still very limited, and there is not much soul power that can be accommodated.

If you don't have enough soul power, you need skills.

He used his soul power to condense Yin Qi and condensed a long sword.

After becoming proficient with the long knife in his hand, Meng Zhang embarked on a hunting journey.

Meng Zhang, whose strength had greatly increased, was like chopping up melons and vegetables when killing ghosts. Even if there were a large number of ghosts, he would dare to rush forward and kill them.

In the past, Meng Zhang's soul was like a mortal who could only use brute force to fight.

Now, after being able to use soul power, the soul is like a cultivator, and the methods it can use become richer.

That night, Meng Zhang killed almost hundreds of ghosts before he was forced to leave the trial place.

After the soul returned to its place and returned to the physical body, the amount of information that poured into the mind was simply too much.

The strength of the soul increased greatly, and Meng Zhang had a clear feeling.

After the soul refined its soul power, shortly after it returned to the body, a cold aura emerged from the soul and spread to the body.

The yin energy of the underworld is as essential to ghosts as living people need air, and it is a great tonic.

But for living people, Yin Qi is very harmful.

If ordinary people are accidentally contaminated with Yin Qi, they may become seriously ill or die in severe cases.

Even for cultivators, if they are contaminated by Yin Qi for a long time, their bodies will become rigid and their vitality will gradually lose.

The Yin Qi that Meng Zhang's soul absorbed from the underworld directly contaminated his body after the soul returned to his body.

Meng Zhang did not dare to be careless and quickly circulated his true energy to expel these negative energies.

Fortunately, the Shaoyang Qi he cultivated was originally made by absorbing the Yanghe Qi of Chaoyang and tempering it repeatedly.

As soon as the masculine and hot Shaoyang Qi began to circulate, the Yin Qi stained in the physical body was like snow under the sun, quickly melting away.

After expelling the yin energy, Meng Zhang also began to reflect.

The techniques practiced by ghosts in the underworld are not suitable for living people to practice.

Ghosts do not have physical bodies, so there is no need to worry about Yin Qi contaminating the physical body.

But I am a living person, and after my soul returns to my physical body, I have to consider the issue of Yin Qi infection.

Now my soul is not strong enough and I don't absorb much Yin Qi. The Shaoyang Qigong I practice happens to be the nemesis of Yin Qi. There shouldn't be any problems in a short time.

But in the long run, you should find a cure.

Of course, Meng Zhang's top priority now is to obtain enough benefits from the trial site. As for future troubles, he can't worry about it for the time being.

During the day, Meng Zhang increased the time he spent practicing Shaoyang Qigong, and repeatedly washed his body with Shaoyang Qi under the sun to completely avoid the harm of Yin Qi.

At night, Meng Zhang still continued to enter the trial place.

He found that as the strength of his soul increased, the time he stayed in the trial place each time also slowly increased.

Meng Zhang, who has mastered the art of pathfinding, can identify the direction in the underworld without worrying about getting lost.

He did not run around, but centered on the place where he appeared, slowly clearing away the ghosts around him.

As his strength increased, these ghosts posed less and less threats to him, and they completely became his prey.

In the process of clearing away ghosts, he occasionally encountered those soldiers.

Meng Zhang already knew at this time that these soldiers were the Yin soldiers of the underworld, and they were much stronger than the ghosts in terms of their own strength and organization.

Compared with the ragtag ghosts, the Yin soldiers are obviously more difficult to deal with.

However, hunting Yin soldiers has greater benefits for the soul, and it can also gain skills.
