Chapter 542: Zhuge Gui Faces Tribulation Again, Zhuge Ruolan Panics

Myriad Ghost Pill, condensing many sources of ghost qi, Chen Chuyang added some herbs tainted with ghost qi, formulating a new pill recipe; actually, it's not that novel, all using ghost qi source as base, combined with other herbs, all herbs that neutralize ghost qi.

The Heavenly Ghost Origin is the most important; adding a bit is enough to enhance the quality of this pill.

Myriad Ghost Pill, a Fifth-Grade Pill—this is Chen Chuyang's first Fifth-Grade Pill; unfortunately, he cannot consume it.

This pill is only suitable for ghosts and Ghost Dao cultivators; if he ate it, that terrifying ghost qi might cause other reactions; for this first pill, he dares not eat it, nor use it.

Others also cannot eat it; he himself cannot eat it; needless to say for others.

"Myriad Ghost Pill, its effect unknown; its efficacy should be to increase cultivation."

Ghost Dao cultivation is not true qi; ghost qi is greatly harmful to the human body.

Chen Chuyang fears no ghost qi; indeed, he can even absorb it.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture can transform all breaths into Hunyuan, finally merging into Hunyuan true qi; ghost qi and yin qi can also be transformed, though it's a bit more troublesome; Chen Chuyang dislikes taking risks; this pill has just been refined, needing…… a bit of time to verify.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui's body trembled, ghost qi surged; he opened his eyes, staring at the Myriad Ghost Pill in Chen Chuyang's hand; in his dull gaze was full of longing—this was the first time Chen Chuyang saw such an expression from him.

"Do you want this Myriad Ghost Pill?"

"Since you want it, then giving it to you is fine; this debt will be recorded on your sister's head."

Zhuge Ruolan, this pill is valuable; you may have to repay it for a long time.

Moreover, Zhuge Gui will stay on Longshe Shan as a Dharma Protector—a Ghost King Dharma Protector; just think, how stimulating.

The Myriad Ghost Pill was thrown into Ghost King Zhuge Gui's mouth; no need for Chen Chuyang to help melt it—he can melt and swallow it himself.

A burst of ghost qi erupted, striking Zhuge Gui's body; in just a few breaths, a terrifying might had already burst forth.

Chen Chuyang hastily took out the Hunyuan Bell, covering him to seal that ghost qi.

Ghost qi erupted; the Ghost King once again burst forth with terrifying pressure.

Blue-faced fangs, at times turning black, his complexion constantly shifting, his body gradually swelling.

In the blink of an eye, he became a colossal Ghost King.

His height exceeded ten meters; that pair of fangs looked nauseating to behold.

"Is this the Ghost King's true form? Will it continue to evolve?"

"The effect of the Myriad Ghost Pill seems stronger than I imagined."

"His consciousness is also gradually being perfected."

Chen Chuyang stared at Ghost King Zhuge Gui's body; mainly his consciousness—that faint weak consciousness—actually began to rise rapidly, each observation raising it once.

Ghost qi expanded; consciousness gradually became complete.

This change was akin to creation.

From nothing to something, then to completeness.

Throughout this step of evolution, Chen Chuyang watched and stared.

His palm followed the transformation.

Hunyuan true qi simulated this change of the Ghost King Zhuge Gui.

One person, one ghost—thus they mutually transformed.

Time passed bit by bit.

Five days passed quietly.

"Pop."

Consciousness complete; the Ghost King Zhuge Gui's consciousness suddenly became whole, his eyes losing their blood-red hue.

Chen Chuyang exclaimed in delight: "Consciousness complete; the Myriad Ghost Pill's effect is truly extraordinary."

"The effect of the Heavenly Ghost Origin has increased manyfold; indeed, the Heavenly Ghost Origin has a special effect on ghost kinds—even Ghost King Zhuge Gui can thereby achieve complete consciousness."

"Ghost King Zhuge Gui's luck is really good; he stumbled upon all this."

He also encountered himself, willing to use the Heavenly Ghost Origin for him.

Moreover, I refined a Fifth-Grade Pill for him; even for Chen Chuyang, the failure rate is high, yet this was the first successful refinement.

It was luck that let Ghost King Zhuge Gui move toward completeness.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui opened his eyes; those eyes were different now.

He gained a complex expression, as if he had feelings.

He was no longer the previous dull puppet.

"Boom—"

In the heavens, thunder trembled.

Chen Chuyang frowned, looked up at the sky, and wondered aloud: "Strange, the tribulation has clearly been passed, why is another tribulation descending?"

"Could it be that Zhuge Gui's completed consciousness is defying heaven, hence this?"

Ghost King Zhuge Gui emitted a low sound; though I couldn't understand what he said, I could sense his urgency.

He wanted to leave this place, to go undergo tribulation.

This tribulation is his, not Chen Chuyang's.

"So you want to undergo tribulation, right?"

Ghost King Zhuge Gui nodded; his gloomy, fierce gaze remained terrifying.

Chen Chuyang lifted him, and they vanished from the spot.

Breaking through the void, they appeared on a distant mountain peak, the old tribulation site.

This time, faster—directly tearing through the void, rather than flying over as before.

He dropped Zhuge Gui; Chen Chuyang watched the heavenly tribulation follow, reminding: "Go through the tribulation well—this tribulation is not so easy to pass."

With Ghost King Zhuge Gui's body and the ghost qi constantly erupting from him, this tribulation is nothing to him.

"Boom—"

Heavenly tribulation, bombardment.

Again he saw the heavenly tribulation; Chen Chuyang crossed his arms, watching the Ghost King Zhuge Gui shrouded by the heavenly tribulation.

His figure was no longer visible; the heavenly tribulation kept bombarding, and the ghostly aura dissipated.

Zhuge Gui's swollen body gradually shrank.

On the other side, Zhuge Ruolan felt something and opened her eyes.

"Heavenly tribulation? That's ghostly aura?"

"This ghostly aura? It's my older brother; he's undergoing the tribulation?"

The next second, she could no longer stay calm; she immediately rose to her feet and stopped cultivating.

She kept flying toward where the heavenly tribulation was; when she arrived at the site of the heavenly tribulation, the heavenly tribulation was bombarding her older brother.

"Older brother?"

Zhuge Ruolan was initially doubtful, after all her older brother had already survived the heavenly tribulation, so why undergo it again?

That defies common sense.

Unless, some unfathomable change occurred again on his body, which would cause the heavenly tribulation to descend.

"Chen Chuyang?"

Zhuge Ruolan saw Chen Chuyang, hurried to his side, and as soon as she landed, she directly asked: "Chen Chuyang, what happened to my older brother?"

Chen Chuyang's smile turned eerie, and he stared at Zhuge Ruolan.

Zhuge Ruolan stepped back a few paces; this gaze, this smile, were very familiar.

I'm about to be tricked again.

"Gurgle."

Zhuge Ruolan quickly covered her chest, raised her voice a bit: "Chen Chuyang, I'm asking you—what did you do to my older brother? Why did he draw the heavenly tribulation again?"

Chen Chuyang grinned and stretched out his hand; there was a bill on it.

"Zhuge Ruolan, cut the nonsense—pay first, then talk."

Zhuge Ruolan looked at the bill; the items were numerous, making her head swell.

Finally, there was a Fifth-Grade Pill, the Myriad Ghost Pill—a pill she had never heard of; at that moment, Zhuge Ruolan's pupils contracted.

"Five-five-fifth grade pill?"

"You're willing to give it to my older brother to eat? I..."

She didn't want to admit it; a fifth-grade pill—she couldn't afford it even if she sold herself.

When did Chen Chuyang become so kind-hearted? That's a fifth-grade pill, and he just used it like that?

"You want to deny it?"

"No, no, I just—" Zhuge Ruolan panicked.
