in six or seven cores. As for Senior Brother Xiao, he could put in eight.""Can you get one that holds ten""Naturally!" Xie Xiaoyong's face showed a hint of admiration. "Not to mention the elders, but...From Xue Pao, Jiang Yun already knew that the best way for a Demon Refiner to cast any Demon Refining Art was with a Demon Refining Pen. That way, they could fully unleash the power of the Demon Refining Art.

During the chaotic and troubled times, Blood Robe originally intended to give Jiang Yun a piece of Paulownia wood as material for crafting the Spirit-Taming Brush. However, Jiang Yun refused.

Because he had better materials in mind, namely the Reverse Demon Bridge from the Luo family!

That was a bone from a monstrous celestial being, just like the material for Lu family's refining demon pen on his body!

Originally, Bai Ze had also suggested fusing the two together, but now it seems that it would be better to use the Reverse Demon Bridge as material to create a magic brush belonging to himself.

As for the method of opening up the acupoints, it should naturally be done with a talisman pen. Use demonic energy and one's own blood as ink, and the object to be transformed into a demon as paper. Draw demonic patterns on it, condensing them into acupoints!

Of course, not just anything can be transformed into a demon through the method of enlightenment. Firstly, it must possess spiritual intelligence.

Moreover, the process also requires the alchemist's own blood to be added, helping all creatures awaken. For alchemists, this is a considerable burden.

In general, spirit cultivators would not casually help all beings gain sentience and become demons.

But now, Jiang Yun felt the shadow in front of him. Not only had it gained sentience, but there was also a seal called the Fuyin mark imprinted within it. This gave him a very bold idea.

"If it could become a demon and walk the path of cultivation, then it would become the strongest of all shadows, even their leader!"

"The Netherworld Beast's body is vast and boundless. In my own strength, it would be absolutely impossible to traverse it completely. However, the number of shadows within it is infinite, spreading endlessly in all directions."

"If they could be driven and controlled, then I wouldn't only know more secrets about these ghostly beasts but also have them help me find more black stones."

Although Ginger Cloud had no idea what the black stones were, she still wanted to restore them completely.

Only then could he possibly understand the dream he had made!

"Even in the future, I might be able to find another way into the bodies of these spirit beasts."

After making up his mind, Jiang Yun bit his own finger, pouring a large amount of demonic energy into his fingertips. With the blood as a guide, he began to draw nine orifices on the shadow in front of him using demonic patterns.

Because this was Ginger Cloud's first time helping someone open their nine orifices, and he wasn't familiar with demonic patterns either. And this method of opening the orifices wasn't true painting, you couldn't just redraw it if you made a mistake.

The pattern of enlightenment, once inked, leaves no room for regret. The moment a demonic pattern is drawn, there is no chance to alter it.

So, Jiang Yun's speed is extremely slow.

Fortunately, this shadow body possesses the Seal of Subduing Demons, making it incredibly obedient. It took nearly half a day to finally complete it successfully.

Although it's called "nine orifices," you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it.

Only nine strange, crimson symbols made of lines could be seen on the black body within the shadow.

Taking a deep breath, with a mouthful of blood spurting from his tongue's tip, Jiang Yun suddenly slapped the shadow in front of him with a palm and spoke loudly: "Today, Jiang Yun, as a demon cultivator, will help you become a demon!"

As Jiang Yun's words left his mouth, a faint wind suddenly arose on this path where nothing existed. It was the wind of demonic energy.

The blood that Ginger Cloud had spat was enveloped by the shadow and directly merged into its body. It could be clearly seen transforming into countless crimson drops of blood, which gradually disappeared.

Just then, the nine crimson demonic runes on Shadow's body slowly began to spin. As they rotated, a wisp of demonic energy gradually emanated from Shadow's body.

"Buzz!"

Then, the shadow's body suddenly trembled violently. The rotating demonic symbols spun faster and faster until they transformed into eyes, ears, and a mouth...

The shadow originally had no specific shape or body. It constantly twisted and changed, gradually developing limbs, a head, and sensory organs!

And when Jiang Yun saw the other person's features, he couldn't help but frown slightly, because those features were surprisingly similar to his own, about eight or nine points alike.

As for this, Ginger Cloud wasn't surprised at all!

After possessing nine apertures, one must have a complete physical form, which can be that of an animal or a human, entirely dependent on the shadow's own volition.

Then, facing Jiang Yun, it was only natural for him to choose to imitate Jiang Yun's appearance and body. It's just that Jiang Yun was a little uncomfortable with it.

Finally, the shadow before him transformed into a young man nearly identical to Jiang Yun. The only difference was that his body remained pitch black, and he possessed no cultivation whatsoever.

The next moment, the shadow opened its eyes. After rolling them around a few times, it directly knelt before Jiang Yun, its expression respectful. It spoke in human words, "Thank you, sir. Please give me a name!"

For most humans, a name is simply a label, a symbol. But for a newly transformed demon, it signifies recognition, a sense of existence.

This point, the blood robe had already told Jiang Yun in advance, so Jiang Yun nodded and said, "My surname is Jiang, you can just follow my surname!"

Although I don't know what race you belong to, since your body is made of shadows, I shall name you Ying, Ginger Shadow!

"Ginger Shadow!"

The shadow whispered the name again and then a guileless smile spread across his face. He bowed deeply to Jiang Yun once more, saying, "Thank you, Master, for giving me this name!"

Jiang Yun gestured for him to stand up, and at this moment, the many shadows that had always surrounded them from all sides, also branded with the Fu Yao Yin by Jiang Yun, surrounded them.

They had just witnessed the whole process of Jiang Yun opening up Jiang Ying's mind, so seeing their companion change like this, they couldn't help but be very curious.

But as Jiang Ying frowned and let out a cold snort, those shadows instantly dispersed again, retreating far away and daring not come closer.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yun knew that his previous guess was correct.

Now, Jiang Ying is a demon, and even without cultivation, she's the most powerful being in her clan, so she's practically above everyone else.

Looking at Jiang Ying, Jiang Yun was also very satisfied and pleased.

Because strictly speaking, Ginger Shadow is also a brand new life he created with his own hands. This feeling is just like being a father for the first time.

"Since you've already become a demon, you can start cultivating. I will teach you everything I have learned."

Maybe you don't understand now, but you're here with plenty of time to ponder. You'll eventually figure it out.

Thus, besides the techniques of the human world, Jiang Yun imparted everything he knew, including his own martial arts and magical skills, even the knowledge of demon cultivators, as well as all that he had seen and heard along the way, to Jiang Ying without reservation.

After doing all that, Jiang Yun suddenly slapped his own head with force, a wry smile on his face.

Because he suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something. Since this was the Yin Spirit Beast's body, there would be no sun and moon essence for Jiang Ying to cultivate.

However, before he could think of a solution, Jiang Ying had already taken a deep breath.

Just then, seeing those shadows in the distance who were too afraid to come closer, several of them were suddenly pulled over and rushed into its mouth.

And as those shadows disappeared, the aura emanating from Jiang Ying's body suddenly began to rise.

In an instant, he had already entered the Pulse Meridian realm!
