Su Ziyu actually had quite a number of Soul Beads in his hand, some of which he acquired in the world of the Demon Hunters.

Since these items are not very large and don't take up much space, although he didn't know how to use them, they were rare materials dropped, so he just kept them in his personal space. In this world, he had obtained even more Soul Beads. Although not many of them reached the level of the Demon's Principle, he had about forty or fifty of the usual Warrior Spirit, Lamp Ghost Spirit, Flying Head Demon Spirit, and so on, all thrown in his personal space without knowing how to use them.

——"Warrior Spirit (refinable): Refinement grants 15 Energy Value."

——"Lamp Ghost Spirit (refinable): Refinement grants 5 Energy Value."

——"Celestial Evil Ghost Spirit (refinable): Refinement grants 6 Energy Value."

——"Yaksha Spirit (refinable): Refinement grants 50 Energy Value."

Most of the Soul Beads could only provide five to ten points of Energy Value, but the Yaksha Spirit could provide fifty points of energy. Altogether, it probably added up to about seven or eight hundred points of Energy Value, but the most valuable one was the Soul Bead An Zhen left behind in the True Dream Realm.

——"An Zhen's Principle (refinable): Refinement grants 800 Energy Value."

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have given the Principles of the Jorogumo and Mountain Child to Abe no Seimei's two sons.

Su Ziyu felt a bit regretful, but since the items were given away, he naturally had no intention of taking them back. Now that he thought about it, he realized that the drop of Soul Beads seemed to be related to Spiritual Lightning. Usually, the chance of dropping a Soul Bead from enemies he slashed with a sword wasn't high, but most high-quality Soul Beads were dropped after he struck enemies with Spiritual Lightning.

The Principles of the Jorogumo and Mountain Child were acquired this way, and the first time he obtained a Soul Bead was also when he killed the Plague Beldam using Spiritual Lightning.

"My lord?" Qing Ji cautiously spoke from beside him.

"Oh." Su Ziyu replied, reaching out to pick up the Demon Gourd in front of him, and softly said, "Let's eat first."

"This thing has already been refined by me."

Upon hearing this, Qing Ji's expression was quite joyful as she said, "Congratulations to my lord on obtaining a Magical Treasure."

This Demon Gourd was indeed extraordinary.

After they ate, Qing Ji went to teach her six sisters to read, even dragging along the unwilling Fifth and Sixth Sisters. Except for the First Sister, none of the other five Snake Princesses liked studying.

Su Ziyu first took out a Celestial Evil Ghost Spirit, and along with a faint Spiritual Light, an absorbing force came from the Demon Gourd. As the Celestial Evil Ghost Spirit was sucked into the gourd, it gradually dissolved, and the faint black Soul Bead transformed into a gray mist, gradually disappearing before his eyes.

At the same time, the energy stored within the Demon Gourd began to rise bit by bit.

The speed of this increase wasn't very fast.

About one minute would increase the Energy Value by one point. It seemed that the Demon Gourd also needed time to refine these Soul Beads.

"I wonder how much it can hold?"

Su Ziyu took out all the Soul Beads, then used Spiritual Energy to activate the Demon Gourd, lightly patting it and commanding, "Collect!"

A wisp of gray mist billowed out.

All the Soul Beads began to dissolve the instant they touched this mist, and a suction force emanated from the Demon Gourd, unexpectedly swallowing all the Soul Beads at once.

The Demon Gourd in Su Ziyu's hand seemed to get a little heavier, but it only filled up to about one-fifth of its capacity.

"At this rate, it can refine 60 points of Energy Value per hour."

"They should be fully refined in about ten hours." Su Ziyu thought as he got up and walked outside.

He had mastered how to refine Soul Beads.

But the ability of the Demon Gourd was not just limited to this. That day he saw Jiutun Tongzi could seemingly absorb and devour spirits directly into it, which could also be used as a means of attack. He planned to take it out to see if he could do the same.

To refine ghosts, one naturally needed to go to the Underworld, but since it was not yet dark, Su Ziyu decided to stroll around Kyoto.

Nowadays, the entire Kyoto had declined badly, and it would probably take at least ten years to recover. Empty houses were everywhere, and walking on the road of Nijo Street, not even a ghost appeared.

Ghost Capital.

As dusk fell, Su Ziyu passed through Rashomon into the Ghost Capital. He did not go directly to the Netherworld but flew into a desolate wilderness.

After flying for about five or six minutes.

A field of ghost fire appeared in front of Su Ziyu's eyes. These were all mindless wandering souls, considered the lowest level of ghosts, having no independent thought, and drifting aimlessly in the wild.

——"Soul Devourer!"

Su Ziyu injected Spiritual Energy into the Demon Gourd. With the faintest hint of Spiritual Light, the gourd enlarged, rising into the air without support, and a gray mist appeared with an absorbing force. All seven or eight ghost fires around were sucked into the gourd.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Pollution level of the Demon Gourd rising! ..."

Su Ziyu frowned and summoned the Demon Gourd back into his hand. He took a look and found that the stored Energy Value had increased by about ten points, but there was also a special warning at the back of the gourd.

——"Current pollution level 0.1%!"

Can't directly devour ghosts?

Su Ziyu opened the lid of the Demon Gourd, and a faint wailing could be heard, seemingly the remnants of those devoured ghost fires.
