Chapter 225: Chapter 86 Call Spirits and Summon Gods (2/3)At that time, Huo Qing had also ended the communication. When he returned to the cabin, his expression was somewhat perplexed, "Uncle didn’t scold me... He just told me to do my best, and if he comes back to find that the cabin has made money, he will let me really be the part-time shopkeeper, and he himself will go to the city to open some other kind of store." "What’s this about? Why does Uncle think in such a strange way?" Beyond his confusion, Huo Qing also felt a bit uneasy. Managing the recycling cabin wasn’t hard for him, though he felt he might be a bit lacking in strength... But just as Iron Hand thought, Huo Qing’s courage was gradually being honed as well. He didn’t feel like he couldn’t do it; he just wanted to meet Uncle’s expectations as much as possible. But that was all to be dealt with later. For now, it was time to eat. Granny Huai had prepared a full table of dishes, including a meatball and potato soup that was delicious with just a bit of salt, oatmeal and egg porridge, chili sauce fried sausages, milk bread, and pickled meat dumplings... Although most of the dishes were made from semi-prepared ingredients, they were unexpectedly tasty. An Jing noticed that Granny Huai didn’t seem fully satisfied—the food reserve at the recycling cabin was still too meager. Tianyuan Realm might not lack food, but there was a shortage of fresh and delicious ingredients. "An Jing, look..." While eating, Huo Qing awkwardly tried to give An Jing several Good Deeds vouchers. He was nominally the homeowner, but An Jing had paid all the actual money. Though they were partners, which made it unnecessary to be so precise, Huo Qing felt indebted and wanted to transfer all his savings to An Jing, totaling six hundred eighteen Good Deeds and three thousand two hundred seventeen point fifty-five Credit Points. Of course, these fractions couldn’t be transferred, so he could only repay approximately using the physical Good Deeds vouchers for now. An Jing was very moved by this, and then refused, "It’s just a little money, why are you in such a rush?" "We need to think big and broaden our horizons. We are people who aim to do great things, don’t keep worrying about such a small amount of money!" "Let’s just eat, let’s not talk about this now." After finishing all this, An Jing temporarily had nothing else to deal with in the Tianyuan Realm. Because Huo Qing really felt bearing, An Jing still used his money to purchase a batch of bullets and several Thunder Beads, as well as a large amount of canned food and dried grains for emergency storage, which would all be stored in Chonggang Town later on. An Jing also returned the unused Bulletproof Spiritual Garment to him. Huo Qing originally wanted to refuse, saying he didn’t need such equipment and An Jing, being in a more dangerous situation, needed it more. But when he saw An Jing pulling out the Necrocontroller Demon’s scale armor, he was stunned. The quality of such complete Demon Material was beyond the ordinary imagination in both durability and value; An Jing indeed didn’t need that spiritual garment. "This thing... is top-grade Military Merit!" Huo Qing exclaimed, "An Jing, this could get you a chipset, even a household registration in Xuanye City!" "If I want that kind of thing, I can have it." An Jing no longer hid his confidence from his trustworthy friend, even though this confidence sounded outright arrogant, "I don’t want to attract attention. This Demon Material, capable of being processed into Spirit Armor, has far more meaning to me than a chipset or registration I temporarily don’t need." "I don’t have those connections." The value of this Demon Material and the connections needed to process it had surpassed Huo Qing’s capabilities. All he could do was shake his head, "We must wait for Iron Hand to return. He knows many exceptional figures and will definitely help you process it." "Fortunately, he’s already back, but he still has some matters to deal with in the city. We might have to wait another week and a half." Iron Hand... his situation was probably more troublesome than anticipated. An Jing’s brow furrowed slightly, then relaxed, "Then, we can only wait for him to return." Unlike Huo Qing, even though Iron Hand had proved his credibility, he was still not enough to put An Jing at ease. Even though Granny Huai had praised him a couple of times, they had never really cooperated, and it wasn’t like the emotional support he had with Huo Qing. But he could wait a bit longer; he was not in a hurry. The matters of Tianyuan were put on hold for now. The three-day period given by Embracing the Void in the Tianyuan Realm had already passed two days. On the last day, An Jing, or more precisely, the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit, appraised part of the Great Abyss Capturing Spirits Scripture. "At least, this part does not involve summoning Ghost Gods or controlling the deceased; it’s unproblematic," he said. Subdue Evil, visualizing a formation diagram and detailed explanation in An Jing’s mind, said, "Tai Ming Soul-Nurturing Formation—using the lesser Yin nurturing life energy to nourish the Soul and Spirit. It’s applicable to both the deceased and the living, can revitalise the spirit, and strengthen the will. It’s one of the rare benign practices in the Great Abyss Capturing Spirits Scripture." "If your friend could master one-tenth of this formation’s secrets, passing that trial would be a breeze, and it would be greatly beneficial for him personally." "His body is robust, but his Soul and Spirit are somewhat weak, without the Soul Nurturing Formation to nourish him, his life is ultimately frail and light," he added. "With this method, his strength and potential would also be enhanced, which would be beneficial for both you and me." In the Great Abyss Capturing Spirits Scripture, there are numerous Ritual Tracks and Formations, among which one Formation and Ritual is named "Call Spirits and Summon Gods," one of the highest achievements of this scripture. Even the lowest standard of Ritual Tracks requires a Divine Statue that has been worshipped for more than fifty years, a total of a hundred heads of livestock for sacrifice, and offer sacrifices related to the ’Nether Spirit Ghost Gods’ attributes of spiritual objects. After fulfilling these conditions, one can create in the current world an inhabitable ’God-Invoking Body,’ on which the Nether Spirit can rely, and even be brought to life. The strength of this body depends on the number of sacrifices, the strength of the Earth Vein where the Formation is located, and the quality of the Spiritual Objects. It looked very familiar. This was the formation used by Lu Jin to nurture the Heavenly Demon Questioning Heart, the Daemon-Splitting Soul Commanding Demon. This formation itself is very proper, and according to Subdue Evil, it represents the ’Righteous Path of the Netherworld.’ The Ritual Tracks of Call Spirits and Summon Gods, though seemingly bloody and cruel, actually dates back to ancient times, when the human race called upon their own heroic souls, and familial spirits to descend into the world—a method known as ’Heroic Soul Summoning.’ The essence of the ’God-Invoking Body’ is constructed from Mysterious True Evil Spirits, which can Gather and Disperse as Desired, supplemented by the Divine Skills of the heroic souls themselves, can exhibit extraordinary strength, even surpassing what was possible in life—a typical legacy of the Netherworld, reaching full potential post mortem. The God-Invoking Body allows the Nether Spirit heroic souls to persist in the world, but they will ultimately dissipate. Then, people would sacrifice again, summoning heroic souls that better fit their current needs... This is why ancient human nations were constantly engaged in sacrificing and warring. From a current perspective, the technical concept might be a bit outdated, but it still represents the true righteous path. However, in the hands of a Heavenly Demon, it somehow turned into a method for summoning Heavenly Demons and creating Demon Embryos in the Demon Dao. "This formation is excellent," An Jing said upon seeing it, immediately recognizing its value. "With this Dharma Gate, as long as I find another reasonably powerful spiritual entity, I might indeed be able to establish an ’Esoteric Sect’ in the Tianyuan Realm!" "Moreover, it’s not a heretical cult, but a truly legitimate religion that feeds off human reverence and protects the community!"
