"The Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost, besides making paper figures, paper houses, and paper horses, has another ability, which is to change its shape and appearance."

Lin Feng tried to let the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost possess him like the Xi Gui; instantly, a cold and stiff feeling spread throughout his whole body.

Subsequently, Lin Feng felt as if he had put on a suit of clothes made of paper, and a paper mask was also worn on his face.

As he controlled the Paper Ghost to use its ability, the paper mask on his face changed instantly, turning into the face of an ordinary old farmer, and the paper clothes on his body also changed accordingly, turning into the brown short shirt of an ordinary farmer.

Instantly, Lin Feng changed from the original young man into an old farmer with sallow skin, a weathered face, a depressed expression, and wearing tattered clothes.

This change was not just in shape; Lin Feng even felt that his behavior and actions had also turned into another person, just like a real old farmer.

"Whoosh~"

As the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost on his body disappeared, Lin Feng slowly let out a breath.

The Paper Folder had killed too many people, and some of the people killed would be made into paper figures by him.

Although these paper figures could not possess the memories and abilities of their lifetime, the most fundamental instincts were still there.

This was also the fundamental reason why the Paper Folder could perfectly disguise himself as another person.

"Paper Craftsman Hall, Substitute Zhiren, Zhiren Transformation Technique, Zhiren Life-Extension Technique..."

Lin Feng, who had completely read the Paper Folder's life memories, not only gained a kind of ability but also had a sufficient understanding of the Paper Folder's inheritance.

The Paper Craftsman Hall was definitely an organization with great power, but this organization was not famous, and most of its disciples or successors were active alone outside.

Forcibly remembering some important content in his heart, Lin Feng once again placed his gaze on the other three corpses.

Before burying the Paper Folder's corpse, Lin Feng could at most guess that these three corpses were related to the Paper Folder, and he did not know what their true identities were.

But now he knew that these people came from the Incense Temple, and that supernatural existence that looked like a massive statue was the Incense Temple Ancestor!

Digging a pit and burying people, the whole process was gone through, and the life experiences of Song Renjie and his two disciples were all known to Lin Feng.

Song Renjie belonged to the nineteenth generation of disciples of the Incense Temple and was the nephew-grandson of the current Incense Temple Sect Leader.

This person had shown extraordinary talent in incense making since childhood, but his ability in ghost driving was somewhat mediocre.

Until his death, he had only accommodated one Great Ghost, and after being buried by Lin Feng, he did not even make any waves.

Checking the opponent's memory, Lin Feng learned about the internal situation of the Incense Temple and the scene where the opponent was killed by his own ancestor in a rage.

"Heh, didn't expect they really came to deal with me!"

Upon learning that the opponent had actually started preparing to target him long ago, a cold sneer appeared on Lin Feng's face instantly.

"Last time in Longevity Town, it was the Incense Temple playing tricks behind the scenes, hmm? There is another force belonging to a feudal prince?"

At the same time, other information known to Song Renjie was also known to Lin Feng, which made him frown involuntarily; he seemed to have inadvertently destroyed many people's plans.

After burying the three corpses, Lin Feng harvested some special incense-making techniques of the Incense Temple and a Great Ghost that did not look very good.

Subsequently, Lin Feng returned to his room; now he had to digest the encounters and gains of tonight properly.

First of all, he knew that the Incense Temple Ancestor had indeed set his sights on him, and for some reason, he regarded him as a mortal enemy; this operation was requested by the Five Ancestors of the Incense Temple.

Besides this, it seemed that other ancestors had also awakened from dormancy; the two blurred human shadows Lin Feng encountered during the battle were the power projections of other ancestors.

That was why they displayed powerful power properties, but they could not affect a larger range like a real Fierce Ghost.

"The Ten Ancestors of the Incense Temple, the worst in strength are all at the Supreme Being level, and even the most powerful ancestor, that is, the existence honored by the Incense Temple as the Incense Master, is even a Saint in legends!"

Saint, in Lin Feng's previous life, was just an honorific for people who made great contributions in thought and behavior.

But in this world, it completely represented another different meaning.

Transcending the ordinary and becoming a Saint; once one became a Saint, then one was completely different from the mundane.

According to the strange tales and mythological stories Lin Feng had seen, the entire Great Xia Dynasty relied on three Saints to suppress the chaotic world, subdue disasters and ghosts everywhere, and pacify the calamities in all directions.

It could even be said that those three Saints established the Great Xia Dynasty; ordinary armies and officials only maintained the operation of the dynasty.

Even now that the Great Xia Dynasty had reached its end, no one was sure whether those three Saints were still alive.

As long as there was no clear news of their death, no matter what force it was, they only dared to plan quietly and did not dare to rebel with great fanfare.

Hmm, except for some hot-headed youths who did not know the true appearance of this world; after all, people without brains would not think so much.

Lin Feng pondered these pieces of information carefully; although he successfully defeated the opponent this time.

But heaven knows if the next time the opponent takes action, it will be when a Saint personally takes action against him?

"Must improve strength as soon as possible! Cannot delay like before!"

Lin Feng made a decision in his heart silently, but how to improve strength quickly still required him to think clearly.

The most direct way was of course to catch more ghosts and then let his own ghosts become stronger through the method of sacrifice.

But direct sacrificial fusion was essentially a method containing hidden dangers; ever since the Xi Gui's tomb took shape, Lin Feng had gradually realized this point.

For example, if he cultivated the Xi Gui to the level of a Disaster Ghost through the normal method of ghost-nurturing.

Then, relying solely on the Xi Gui's own role-playing ability, he might be able to simulate a part of the true power of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!

By the time the Xi Gui reached the level of a Calamity Ghost, he might be able to perform all the abilities of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven 100%, and even other mythological figures would be no problem.

But now the Xi Gui had fused with too many miscellaneous ghosts, causing its own ability to no longer be pure; if he continued to forcibly sacrifice and fuse, this result would probably only become more and more serious.

"No, no, the normal sacrificial method won't work, but the method of offering might!"

Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of the Ghost-Nurturing Incense inserted in the Underworld Earthen Bowl; after such an offering, it actually increased the effect of the ordinary Ghost-Nurturing Incense by quite a bit.

If he dismembered ordinary ghosts and put them into the Underworld Earthen Bowl, could it also have a pure ghost-nurturing effect?

Such a thought popped up in Lin Feng's mind, so he could no longer sit still and left the wooden house through the Ghost Domain again to the back mountain.

He had to try it once to be satisfied; otherwise, he could only choose the method of forced sacrificial fusion.

Xi Gui possessed him, he released the Great Ghost obtained from Song Renjie, and after forcibly suppressing it, Lin Feng directly dismembered it.

Then he received part of the limbs into the Corpse-Raising Ghost-Nurturing Scripture through the Xi Gui.

Soon, the three Underworld Earthen Bowls on the Xi Gui's page were filled with the limbs of that Great Ghost.

In the dark, a special offering relationship was formed; Lin Feng could feel through the Xi Gui that after the transformation of the Underworld Earthen Bowl, that Great Ghost was turning into pure power and being absorbed by the Xi Gui.

"So that's it! So that's how it is!"

Lin Feng suddenly understood why, even though there was a sacrificial method, the Corpse-Raising Ghost-Nurturing Scripture still gave alternative ghost-nurturing conditions.

It was to nurture ghosts that were powerful and sufficiently pure!
