A soldier soul staggeringly approached Xiao Mu.

"Squeak!"

This soldier soul was noticeably different from the previous yin spirits Xiao Mu had seen, who were all dull and unresponsive. This soul, however, showed a trace of emotion. Upon seeing Xiao Mu, it gritted its teeth and showed a ferocious look.

Besides, what delighted Xiao Mu was that this soldier soul was holding a broken blade in its hand.

A rusted, bloodstained broken blade.

This was not an ordinary blade, nor a real one, but a weapon formed from the undying will of the soldier soul after its death.

The reason why such a weapon would be formed is that this soldier, even in death, had not given up the will to fight. This will formed a strong desire, which eventually separated from the soul power, forming a blade.

This blade formed by soul power was actually a part of the yin spirit's own self.

Even though the sword was merely broken, it brought Xiao Mu overwhelming ecstasy.

It is well known that for cultivating a ghost servant, especially a combat type, a weapon is a must-have.

But the weapon used by a ghost servant is not as simple as the master ghost just giving it any weapon. It's not that simple.

This can be seen from the evolution route of evil ghosts.

Neither the evil ghosts, the more powerful evil spirits, nor the astonishingly powerful blood demons have weapons. Not until they evolve into curse ghosts do ghost soldiers appear.

From this we can see how difficult it is for yin spirits to have weapons.

For a ghost servant to have a weapon is equally difficult. It even requires some sort of specialized cultivation method to separate the soul power from their self and condense into a ghost soldier.

This soldier ghost already has a weapon, which would undoubtedly make it much easier to cultivate a ghost soldier in the future.

It's certain that due to this soldier ghost's early possession of a weapon, its ghost soldier would be more powerful than other ghost servants who only start to condense a ghost soldier in the later stage, based on this foundation.

What delighted Xiao Mu even more was another point, his gaze quickly moved from the weapon in the soldier soul's hand to the Dantian position of the soldier ghost.

At the center of the soldier ghost's chest, there was a faint trace of golden light.

Although this golden light was very weak, it still gave Xiao Mu a shock.

This golden light was extraordinary as it was referred to as divine consciousness.

What is divine consciousness? As the name implies, it is the consciousness of the gods.

The divine spirits are worshipped by people, gradually gaining spirituality, and therefore, are able to grant requests because they have consciousness. This consciousness is the consciousness of the gods.

In fact, it is because of having consciousness that they can respond to prayers. Without consciousness, it is just a dull clay or wooden figure, and even if people pray to it, it wouldn't know.

Only with consciousness can one be divine, otherwise they are just ignorant and can't be considered a divine spirit.

This saying also applies to ordinary people, being conscious naturally makes one intelligent, while lack of consciousness leads to ignorance.

This soldier's soul is just a wandering ghost, obviously, it won't be worshipped by anyone. The fact that it could develop consciousness only implies that it is innately divine.

This is indeed remarkable.

If seeing the broken blade made Xiao Mu overjoyed, the sight of the trace of consciousness in the soldier ghost's chest turned his joy into ecstasy immediately.

"Haha!"

Even the usually composed Xiao Mu could not help but laugh aloud from his delight.

"Swift!"

He released a Karma Eliminating Talisman, instantly removing the evil aura from the soldier's soul.

"Thank you!"

The previously ferocious soldier soul seemed to regain some clarity the next moment and looked at Xiao Mu gratefully.

Xiao Mu put his hands behind his back and solemnly asked the soldier soul aloud, "Shout! You, this soldier soul, I am willing to take you as my ghost servant and help you succeed in ghost cultivation, become a Yellow Turban Warrior in the future, are you willing?"

"I... am willing!"

The Soldier Soul hesitated for a moment, then quickly bowed down to Xiao Mu.

Don't think of the Yellow Turban Warrior as just a subordinate, it's not that simple.

For Daoist Cultivators, the purpose of cultivation is to transcend heaven and earth, ultimately controlling it.

To control heaven and earth is to be an Emperor.

Like the Great Emperor of the North Star or the Heavenly Emperor of Zhōu yǔ, these are all so-called Emperors.

Their status far exceeds the emperor of the human world.

The emperor can only manage the living ordinary people, but the Emperor directly controls this universe, including reincarnation of life and death.

The difference between the two is entirely incalculable.

The Yellow Turban Warrior, whose status is equivalent to the emperor's bodyguard.

Officially, they are regarded as the Golden Wu.

From this, it can be seen how high the status of the emperor's bodyguard is and what an enviable profession.

And the Yellow Turban Warrior is the bodyguard of the Heavenly Emperor, which far surpasses the bodyguard of the emperor.

Of course, everything is based on Xiao Mu's potential to become an Emperor. If he does not become the Emperor, all these promises are in vain.

"Haha! Good, good! Serve me as a ghost servant, I keep my word, I will definitely help you become a Yellow Turban Warrior."

Xiao Mu was overjoyed, holding the spell in his hand, the golden light circled his hands, he wanted to imprint various spells on the Soldier Soul and cultivate it into a Ghost Servant.

This spell comes from the "Controlling Ghosts Heaven Scripture", which is the supreme Dharma for turning yin spirits into ghost servants.

The Soldier Soul has ghost Qi, which must be purified before it can become a ghost servant.

The Ghost Servant, although named a ghost servant, is not strictly a ghost anymore. After being washed by the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, the ghost's body will no longer have ghost Qi, and a righteous Qi will emerge.

This righteous Qi comes from the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, which is the diametric opposite of ghost Qi.

It can be said that Ghost Servants and evil ghosts naturally restrain each other.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

The Daoist who had previously run away holding the golden gourd suddenly appeared, clearly, he had also noticed the Soldier Soul.

This Soldier Soul is special, not only Xiao Mu can tell, but this Daoist obviously can too.

"What a powerful Soldier Soul! Luckily, this Daoist is blessed, go!"

The golden thread in the Daoist's hand suddenly shot out, immediately binding the Soldier Soul.

This Soldier Soul is still a common Yin Spirit, without cultivation, its combat power is even inferior to a common evil ghost. Right there, it was bound by the Daoist's golden thread, unable to free itself.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu's face instantly darkened.

This Daoist has been wandering around searching for yin souls, nurturing evil spirits. Earlier, he fed another Soldier Soul to an evil ghost which Xiao Mu could let pass, as it had nothing to do with him. But now this Daoist has appeared again, intending to snatch the Soldier Soul from his hands.

This is intolerable.

Xiao Mu's face darkened, "Brother Daoist, don't you feel your actions are too excessive? This Soldier Soul is mine."

Only then, it seemed, did the Daoist notice Xiao Mu, "Oh, it's you, Daoist."

"Daoist, how about making a concession? My evil spirit has grown into a full-fledged ghost. With a few more Soldier Souls, it could become a Blood Demon. Daoist, if you give this Soldier Soul to me, I will owe you one."

"Hehe!"

Xiao Mu was angry, but a smile appeared on his face, "No need, I still have big plans for this Soldier Soul, I have no intention of handing it over. Thank you, Brother Daoist, for offering to help me catch it."

"However, I'm impressed with the evil spirit you've raised, killing it would grant me an Energy Crystal. How about Brother Daoist give me this powerful ghost? Then I would owe you one."

With that, Xiao Mu's eyes turned to the golden thread in the Daoist's hand, "Eh! This treasure isn't bad, must be the Bound Spirit Rope? Its power isn't low, let me help you untie it."

With that, he suddenly drew the Peach Wood Sword, aimed at the Bound Spirit Rope, and struck with a downward slash.
