Chapter 65: Nine Yin Earthbound Spirit: I've Encountered Love Again~
Divine sense swept over.
Wang Xiu quickly gained a rough understanding of the spirit stone count—approximately a little over twenty thousand.
Judging solely by the price of three Soul Nurturing Lotuses, this was actually a super premium.
However.
Considering that to save these three fools, Wang Xiu had risked his life gambling against a Golden Core Sixth Layer old demon, nearly losing his own little life in the process.
This extra few thousand spirit stones as hardship pay—Wang Xiu felt he earned it without any guilt.
After all.
Nearly being killed by Qianmian Xiejun was one thing, but nearly being stabbed to death by Li Zuiyue—who could he complain to about that!
"Escape poverty and become prosperous, march toward a moderately well-off life!"
Putting away the spirit stones Li Zuiyue gave him, plus his own original little treasury, Wang Xiu's family assets were growing thicker and thicker!
Even placing him in the cultivation world, he could be considered a small-time tycoon.
Next up.
Was the most anticipated corpse-looting session.
Wang Xiu picked up the void ring Qianmian Xiejun left behind from the ground scorched by tribulation lightning, putting it on his finger.
The restrictions left on the void ring had automatically become invalid with Qianmian Xiejun's fall.
Wang Xiu's divine sense probed inside, quickly finishing the inventory of gains.
Not many spirit stones.
Probably only a few thousand—not particularly wealthy among Golden Core stage experts. Instead, there were quite a few bizarre and crooked evil artifacts, skulls, soul nails, and such.
Ahem.
And many things unsuitable for children.
Beyond that, three items caught Wang Xiu's attention. One was naturally the Qiongqi statue, which Qianmian Xiejun had previously used to injure the Li brothers.
The statue housed a mixed-blood Qiongqi remnant soul. Using blood essence sacrifice, it could be temporarily awakened to launch attacks.
Wang Xiu certainly wouldn't use his blood essence to sustain this kind of thing.
However.
Even a mixed-blood Qiongqi remnant soul was absolutely top-grade delicious food for soul pets. If he let the four little guys devour this Qiongqi remnant soul clean.
Not only could the four soul pets' cultivation greatly increase, but even their origins could receive tremendous nourishment.
But Wang Xiu wasn't planning to do this.
After all, a Golden Core level Qiongqi remnant soul was still quite precious—using it to feed soul pets would be too wasteful. It just so happened that he had previously destroyed the artifact spirit of the Mingxue Zhuxian Sword, leaving a gap.
Using special techniques from the "Dark Emperor Prison Suppressing Scripture", Wang Xiu was confident he could refine this Qiongqi soul into the Zhuxian Sword.
At that time, the Mingxue Zhuxian Sword's power would further skyrocket.
Ahem.
Perhaps... in appearance as well, it could see some improvement!
The second item that caught Wang Xiu's attention was a skull-shaped token, with the two characters "Ghost King" engraved on the back.
According to Wang Xiu's guess, it should be a Ghost King Sect protector token.
Its nature was somewhat similar to the Three Purities Immortal Sect's true disciple tokens and elder tokens—tools for sect members to communicate with each other, requiring identity verification before use.
To others, this token was essentially worthless.
But Wang Xiu had cultivated the "Heavenly Demon Myriad Transformations Art" to perfection, easily able to simulate Qianmian Xiejun's mana aura. As long as he spent some time, activating this token wouldn't be difficult.
Keep it.
Perhaps it could come in handy someday.
This final piece of equipment was naturally that Myriad Souls Banner.
At this moment.
The Myriad Souls Banner was still constantly trembling, as if the magical treasure and the Nine Yin Earthbound Spirit Nie Lanlan were engaged in a struggle.
"Be quiet for me!"
Wang Xiu slowly gripped the Myriad Souls Banner with his right hand, mana belonging to the "Dark Emperor Prison Suppressing Scripture" madly pouring into the banner. Instantly, the originally restless magical treasure became completely quiet.
Activate!
Wang Xiu shook the Myriad Souls Banner, and immediately yin evil qi filled the heavens and earth, countless resentful souls and fierce ghosts pouring out from within.
However.
At this moment they no longer showed their previously fierce appearances baring fangs and brandishing claws. All collapsed on the ground shivering, including even the Golden Core Ninth Layer red-clothed fierce ghost.
Originally she had been resisting the Myriad Souls Banner's refinement, battling countless fierce ghosts, but now only fear remained in her heart.
She didn't even dare to lift her head and glance at Wang Xiu's appearance.
Eh~!
Wang Xiu suddenly brightened up, discovering something interesting: a Golden Core remnant soul that had already been tortured beyond human form.
Yes.
There was a Golden Core stage remnant soul in the Myriad Souls Banner, with quite an ugly appearance, emanating sinister demonic qi all around. It should have died recently, its expression and gaze still blank and spiritless.
Could it be Qianmian Xiejun?
Looking at the countless bite marks on this remnant soul's body, Wang Xiu roughly had a guess.
Presumably.
When Qianmian Xiejun was executed by heavenly tribulation earlier, he happened to be near the Myriad Souls Banner, and his aura was compatible with the banner, so the Myriad Souls Banner instinctively absorbed him.
The fierce ghosts in the Myriad Souls Banner were all too familiar with this guy's soul aura. Seeing their enemy absorbed inside.
How could they endure it?
Each one took advantage of Qianmian Xiejun's intelligence not yet recovered, crazily tormenting him. If Wang Xiu hadn't used the Dark Emperor Prison Suppressing Scripture to intimidate all the ghosts, making all the fierce ghosts behave.
Probably before long, the dignified Golden Core Sixth Layer Qianmian Xiejun would have been tormented by the resentful ghosts until his soul scattered.
What goes around comes around—this is the karmic retribution of cause and effect.
Wang Xiu held a Dao seal, speaking to the countless resentful ghosts: "You all were harmed by demonic cultivators, transformed into resentful ghosts, not deliberately doing evil. This poor Daoist will bring you all back to the Three Purities Immortal Sect for salvation."
"This poor Daoist still has use for this demon's soul. Please give this poor Daoist some face, raise your hand high, and temporarily let this demon off."
"When all matters are concluded, this poor Daoist will naturally give him the punishment he deserves."
Raise their hand high?
The many resentful ghosts all looked at each other, unable to help bitter smiles in their hearts.
A single strand of aura emanating from this Daoist could make them shiver—what talk of raising hands high?
However.
When one rides in a fancy sedan chair, others lift it up. Since the Daoist gave them ample face, they naturally wouldn't refute the Daoist's dignity.
"Many thanks to the Daoist, for saving me from the sea of suffering!"
"Many thanks to the Daoist, for saving me from the sea of suffering!"
"Many thanks to the Daoist, for saving me from the sea of suffering!"
...
In an instant.
Countless resentful ghosts bowed deeply to Wang Xiu, their faces filled with the joy of escaping the sea of suffering.
After all.
Being trapped in the Myriad Souls Banner unable to reincarnate, forced to obey the commands of the enemy who killed them, and having their souls burned as punishment at the slightest whim.
This kind of life was simply horrifying.
On the other side.
After hearing Wang Xiu's words, the Nine Yin Earthbound Spirit Nie Lanlan also timidly raised her head.
The moment she saw the young man before her, the overwhelming resentment originally shrouding Nie Lanlan melted away like ice dissolving into water.
Nie Lanlan: ^_^
What... what an absolutely peerless, transcendent beautiful young man.
White clothes surpassing snow, eyes like morning stars, gracefully like an immortal descended to the mortal world, effortlessly annihilating demons with a smile, saving the common people from fire and water.
This.
How could such a perfect person exist in the mortal world?
The red-clothed female ghost's face turned red, becoming even more vivid than the clothes on her body.
She discovered.
Her previous so-called affection for Ning Haoran was merely an illusion caused by being deceived—it couldn't compare at all to this Daoist before her.
...
I.
Seem to have encountered sweet love again~
This Nine Yin fierce ghost suffering from severe love-brain syndrome, her soul body began steaming out heat.
Making her cheeks.
Even redder than a living person's face.
