Chapter 18 The Second Soul Lamp

While Su Yu was painting, the black cat was still spinning in circles, leaving behind black air that bound the remaining souls tightly within the fence.

In a short while, Su Yu had finished drawing sixteen soul paintings, and the remaining souls of Huang Xian in the circle had disappeared.

The paper figure was also burned to ashes by the flames, and the young lady's nails and hair were also burned.

On the ground, the sixteen paintings had been rolled up into scrolls by the little fox and piled aside.

Su Yu glanced at it approvingly, picked up the scroll and walked to Qin Shimiao:

“Master, it’s done!”

Qin Shimiao nodded and turned to look at Chen Shiguan:
"The sixteen remaining souls of the Yellow Immortal have been suppressed by my disciple."

The cold sweat on Chen Shiguan's face finally stopped, and he quickly fell to the ground:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, thank you, my disciple..."

Qin Shimiao waved his hand:
"No need to be polite, cash is the most practical."

Chen Shiguan was stunned when he heard his words:
"Discount...how much should I give you?"

Qin Shimiao smiled:

"You are a businessman, why do you need me to teach you how to calculate accounts? How much did my disciple pay for Huang Xian last time?"

Chen Shiguan seemed relieved when he heard this:

"Okay, I'll ask my family to bring me two hundred taels of silver right away!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Shimiao frowned:
"One yellow fairy is two hundred taels. Are sixteen also two hundred taels?"

Chen Shiguan's mouth suddenly opened wide, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead:

"You mean... three thousand two hundred taels!"

But Qin Shimiao's brows did not relax:

"This time we came together as master and disciple, so we shouldn't settle the score this way."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shiguan's face turned bitter:
"Three thousand two hundred taels have to be multiplied by two, right?"

This time, Su Yu's mouth also opened wide.

This amount is six thousand four hundred taels of silver!
It was clearly he who wanted to take me to make soul paintings, but he ended up using the excuse to extort a huge sum of money from Chen Shiguan.

It’s still Master’s fault!
Qin Shimiao's brows relaxed at this time, a smile appeared on his face, and he patted the shoulder of Chen Shiguan who was kneeling on the ground;

"Mr. Chen has a good algorithm. If you don't get rich, who will?"

At this point, he put on a generous look:
"My disciple is still young, so there's no need to multiply it by two. Just give me five thousand taels in total!"

The pain in Chen Shiguan's heart suddenly eased a little, and he stood up and said:
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Shimiao smiled faintly and said:
"Don't think that our fees are too high. If these sixteen Yellow Immortal spirits are not subdued, they will cause trouble in the future. Just think about it yourself!"

Chen Shiguan thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

A yellow fairy killed the young lady and used her to kill several servants.

If these sixteen remaining souls of the Yellow Immortals come back to life and attack the Chen family together, it would be truly unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very grateful. Compared with the safety of his family, the pain of losing five thousand taels of silver seemed nothing.

"If Mr. Qin hadn't come to help me get rid of the demon, I'm afraid that so many yellow fairies would have destroyed my family!"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gritted his teeth and said:

"Mr. Qin, please go back and have a rest. I will personally deliver the money tomorrow."

Qin Shimiao was naturally not afraid that he would default on his debt, so he nodded and said to Su Yu:

"Let's go!"

Su Yu placed the sixteen scrolls in the bamboo basket behind him, picked up the little fox, followed Qin Shimiao and left the Chen family.

After leaving Chen's house, Qin Shimiao did not go home, but took Su Yu back to the Demon Slaying Division. He led Su Yu directly to the execution room where demons were killed.

The execution room was dark and cold. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and there was black, coagulated blood under the wooden execution platform.

Qin Shimiao asked Su Yu to unfold all sixteen soul paintings, form a circle in the middle of the room, and asked him to sit cross-legged in the middle.

"Put aside all distracting thoughts, light up the soul lamp, and let the soul lamp naturally absorb the power from the soul painting!"

"You practice here tonight. I'm going home to rest first!"

After saying that, Qin Shimiao turned around and walked out of the execution room, and helped Su Yu close the door before leaving.

After he left, Su Yu glanced at the white fox lying opposite him, and tried his best to clear his mind of distracting thoughts and sink his consciousness into darkness.

In the dark consciousness, the soul lamp was still lit, but the flame seemed to be still.

The soul lamp represents Su Yu's progress. His cultivation has not increased today, so the flame naturally has not grown bigger.

But as his mind gradually calmed down, the flame of the soul lamp suddenly seemed to jump.

A stream of cold air suddenly penetrated from outside the body, like an invisible stream of ice water in the darkness, moving rapidly towards the soul lamp along the direction of the flame's light.

Although Su Yu did not open his eyes, he could feel the cold breath of death and blood.

This is the power of soul painting!

Qin Shimiao was right. If you put aside all distracting thoughts and light up the soul lamp, you will naturally be able to absorb the soul power of the residual soul of the monster in the soul painting!

However, this kind of practice can only be done after entering the Bone Tempering Realm and lighting up one's own soul lamp!

No wonder he didn’t teach himself how to practice, but just let himself breathe in and out slowly.

Because to the demon painter, breathing skills are just an auxiliary skill!
Absorbing soul power is the fundamental thing!
The elixir that can help improve one's skills and achieve a breakthrough in realm is extremely precious and difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

But it is different with monster soul paintings. Absorbing the soul power in them is also extremely beneficial to improving your cultivation!
As the first stream of ice entered the soul lamp, the flame of the soul lamp suddenly jumped and expanded rapidly.

The chill brought by the ice flow was instantly dispelled by the warmth brought by the soul lamp flame!
The blood flow in Su Yu's body surged again, driving the circulation of qi and blood, and began to impact his limbs and bones!
At the same time, ice streams appeared, and this time two of them appeared at the same time!

Two streams of ice rushed into the soul lamp at the same time, and the flame instantly expanded twice more.

The darkness in Su Yu's consciousness was dispelled a lot, and at the same time, the warmth he felt around him became stronger.

Just as he was feeling delighted, four or five more ice streams appeared.

Four or five streams of ice appeared at the same time, and the bloody coldness from the demon soul instantly froze his body and made his teeth almost chatter.

Su Yu's body trembled slightly, and he tried hard to exercise the energy in his Dantian to suppress the coldness in his body.

The flame of the soul lamp suddenly grew larger as the five ice streams poured in. A firefly suddenly flew out from the flame and flew into the darkness along a smooth straight line.

call!
The second soul lamp lights up!
Su Yu was suddenly surprised.

Unexpectedly, just by absorbing eight soul powers, he had already lit up the second soul lamp!
He opened his eyes and looked at the white fox beside him.

The white fox seemed to have sensed the changes in Su Yu, and stared at him with its dark eyes wide open.

Su Yu concentrated his mind and luck, making the light of the second soul lamp in his body even brighter. At the same time, he transformed a part of his soul power into life beads and poured them into the white fox.

As the soul bead of the second soul lamp was poured into the body, the white fox's body trembled slightly, and a faint red halo appeared on its body.

The white fox opened its mouth slightly and suddenly spoke like a human:

"There's someone outside!"

Su Yu was shocked.

Unexpectedly, after the second soul lamp was lit and a life soul bead was infused into the white fox, the white fox was able to speak human language.

And the first words it spoke were that there was someone outside!

Su Yu turned his head and saw a strange dark figure at the window of the execution room.
