72. Danger!
Thinking of this, she immediately opened her own attribute interface.
The other attributes were almost the same as the last time she checked, but there were a few new special entries.
First, under her basic attributes, a new basic attribute was added, called the “Ghost Value.”
“Ghost Value: 60
Note: The Ghost Value represents the host’s connection with the spirit world. The higher the value, the closer the host will be to the spirit world.
Warning: This value is not the higher the better. Once the value exceeds 80, the host will begin to develop into a ghost. At 100, the host will uncontrollably separate from their physical body. At 120, the host will completely separate from their physical body.
The host’s current Ghost Value is in a state where she can actively separate her soul from her body, and also actively return her soul to her body.”
This thing looked like a negative attribute no matter how you looked at it. It was just that she could just happen to use its positive effects now.
Who knew if this Ghost Value would increase on its own? If it just increased a little, wouldn’t she be in big trouble?
However, she then discovered the positive effects of this Ghost Value.
—It had to be connected with the inner cultivation technique.
“Cultivation Techniques Learned: [Heavenly Saint Technique of the Myriad Paths] SSR [Ghost Soul Blood Demon Art] SSR.”
If she remembered correctly, her original second inner cultivation technique was called the Soul Devouring Blood Orchid Art, and its grade was either EX or S.
This thing had now been changed to a cooler-sounding name, and its grade was also the same as the Heavenly Saint Technique of the Myriad Paths, clearly an upgrade.
As for this new cultivation technique, the system had even specially provided a large supplementary explanation.
“Ghost Soul Blood Demon Art: This is an ultra-evolved version of the Soul Devouring Blood Orchid Art. It not only possesses all the effects of the four-level Soul Devouring Blood Orchid Art, but it also allows the host to cultivate ghost essence.
The effects of using ghost essence power are positively correlated with the host’s own Ghost Value. For every 20 points of Ghost Value increase, the host will increase the effects of all ghost essence type spiritual arts and martial skills by 25%.
And for every 20 points increase, the host will unlock a portion of ghost essence skills. For details on which ghost essence skills, please check the details.”
She thought so. This Ghost Value looked so strange. If it really had no benefits, that would be terrible.
As for what the ghost essence series of spiritual arts and martial skills were, she took a look at the attribute column, and her expression suddenly became strange.
Tsk, tsk, tsk… it seemed a bit interesting.
After flipping through it for a short while, she began to circulate the few ghost essences in her body.
As the ghost essences condensed, a pale-faced, red-haired woman suddenly appeared in front of her.
This was one of the abilities of the ghost essence spiritual art, which was to summon a ghost essence puppet with a certain level of intelligence.
However, this person’s appearance surprised Gong Yiling.
She thought the ghost essence puppet would be someone she didn’t recognize, but she was wrong.
This ghost essence puppet’s appearance was… Hua Qiyang.
Could she have accidentally summoned Hua Qiyang’s lingering soul with just a simple operation?
Of course, that was impossible. This “Hua Qiyang” just looked exactly like her. She had none of Hua Qiyang’s original aura, just an empty shell.
And at this moment, the system’s voice echoed in her mind.
“Your ghost essence was guided by the Ghost Essence Crystal. The ghost essence puppet created from it, without any appearance settings, will naturally default to the Ghost Essence Crystal’s default impression.”
So that was it… no wonder this thing looked like Hua Qiyang.
Gong Yiling then had the ghost essence puppet perform a series of tasks, and she roughly understood what this seemingly useful disposable subordinate could and couldn’t do.
Simply put, although this thing seemed to have a physical form, it wasn’t a real entity.
The spirit world was a place parallel to the mortal world. This puppet, living in the spirit world, naturally couldn’t affect the people and things in the human world.
For example, she couldn’t hold a cup, couldn’t hold a chair, couldn’t touch anything in this world besides herself.
And a door like this, this ghost essence puppet could easily pass through without making any sound.
And the maids walking outside naturally couldn’t see this ghost essence puppet. To them, it was just a gust of gloomy wind, making them feel a slight chill.
Although this thing couldn’t do much, its support effect was incredible.
She could connect with this puppet through ghost essence and see everything it saw, essentially giving her a pair of clairvoyant eyes that no one could detect.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. With these two spiritual arts combined, there were no more impenetrable walls in this world.
After trying this combination several times, Miss Gong had the puppet return to Yan Chuyue’s room and activated the spiritual vision link.
And she saw that Yan Chuyue was not at all in a state of recuperation. She was rolling around on the bed, then jumping up to play with the “blind flow” items Gong Yiling had left there.
Good heavens! This girl, ever since she collapsed, had been acting like a cripple, always being served hand and foot.
She had thought the girl really wasn’t recovering that quickly and had been her maid for over half a month.
Unexpectedly!
This girl had actually recovered long ago and was now just freeloading off her labor, wasting her emotions!
Of course, Yan Chuyue certainly didn’t know this.
She was currently studying the “blind flow” item in her hand, a feather duster called “Smiling Half-Step Stumble.”
Don’t be fooled by its creepy name; its effect was even more “creepy.”
In legend, its effect could be summarized in one sentence: it could make a person laugh to death.
See? So concise.
Of course, this item had become a “blind flow” item because no one knew how to use it. Whether you tickled someone with it or swept it in water and made them drink it, it didn’t have the so-called “laughing to death without compensation” effect.
Of course, this was no challenge for Yan Chuyue, the author.
The feather duster contained a special, non-consumable poison powder. It needed to be combined with other drugs to cause an unbearable itching in a certain part of the body, an itching so intense it made the person laugh uncontrollably.
Now that she had this, and another drug to go with it, she could play a little prank on Gong Y-ling.
Well, the girl’s idea was quite good. She was already imagining how her little loli brother would squirm.
Little did she know that a big “danger” sign had already appeared above her head.
