"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore," Soul Eater True Immortal asked, "How did the thing I told you to do go?"

"Reporting to your lord, so far, we have collected the souls of thirty-six loose immortals." Emperor Xinghun said.

"Only thirty-six? Too few. How long will it take to collect a thousand? We must speed up!" the Soul-Eating Immortal said in disgust.

Emperor Xinhun said, "Sir, it's not that Xiao Wang is unwilling to speed up, but there is a law that we cannot ignore."

"What's the problem? Let's talk about it."

"Then Xiao Wang will be bold enough to ask your Excellency for advice."

Emperor Xinhun said solemnly: "The biggest problem is how to solve the turmoil in the world of immortality. Among these thirty-six loose immortals, eight are Nine Tribulations loose immortals, and all of them are powerful overlords. Once they die,

, and the nearby areas thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away are leaderless and fall into chaos. Although a large-scale war is more conducive to your collection of scattered immortal souls, the ghost world and the human world are interdependent after all. If the balance is blindly broken, it may

It will lead to the ups and downs of yin and yang, the reversal of the five elements, and the displacement of the stars, which will eventually lead to the dissatisfaction of heaven and its punishment."

The Soul-Eating True Immortal thought for a moment and sighed: "It seems that this is really a troublesome matter."

Emperor Xinhun then said: "Sir, there is another question. Although there are many loose immortals in the world, a thousand is not a small number after all. If you want to complete it as soon as possible, you must take a long-term view. Xiao Wang has a plan

I don’t know whether to talk about it or not.”

The soul-eating immortal understood what he meant and said, "Speak."

For him, the most important thing now is to complete the mission and return to the fairy world. It would be great to have someone to help him with advice.

Emperor Xihun leaned forward slightly and approached him, and said softly: "Sir, Xiao Wang has a soul-cultivating technique that can force the soul of the tribulation period to break through and become a loose immortal, so..."

The Soul-Eating True Immortal frowned, "You mean, we don't have to target the loose immortals now, we can also target the monks who are in the tribulation stage."

Xinhun Dadi nodded slightly: "That's right, but this technique is extremely vicious. It was a technique I obtained from an evil cultivator who forged the soul in the early years. Once the soul of the monk in the tribulation period is forcibly elevated to a loose immortal,

Then he will never be able to step into the path of reincarnation again, nor will he be able to resurrect his soul..."

Emperor Xinhun felt that he needed to explain the stakes of this technique clearly to the True Immortal. As for the final choice, the True Immortal still had to make his own decision.

"...In other words, the soul refined by this kind of technique has no value other than being turned into nourishment for people to absorb. For it, it is a luxury to hope that the soul will fly away."

"What does that have to do with me?"

The Soul-Eating True Immortal smiled lightly and said: "I only need to complete the task, and the rest is none of my business."

"Okay! Master Zhenxian is really brave!" Emperor Xinhun gave a thumbs up and said: "Then Xiao Wang will now arrange for the evil forces lurking in the world and list the monks who are in the tribulation period as mission targets."

"You can make up your own mind, I only look at the results."

After saying that, the Soul-Eating Immortal stood up and flew out of the hall, and soon disappeared.

"Congratulations, sir!"

Emperor Xinhun bowed in the direction he left, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

…

Haotian Sect.

In addition to making up his mind to go to the ghost world to find the soul-eating immortal to rescue Jiao Ruo's soul, there was also a very important matter waiting for him to deal with.

Repair the Bridge of Purity.

Since you are going to the ghost world, you must be fully prepared. The first problem is to face the ghosts head-on.

After all, Su Fan had lived for ten thousand years and had fought with many ghosts.

Having interacted with them, I am generally relatively familiar with their methods of action.

Ordinary ghosts will definitely not fight with each other like monks, and few will greet them with punches and kicks like physical cultivators.

After all, they are spirits that are born after the complete death of living creatures. Their natural ability is to create illusions. They usually use illusions to induce and scare humans, slowly destroying the other party's spiritual defenses, and letting them die on their own. This

This is the saying in the secular world that "ghosts scare people".

The simplest example is the one hundred thousand evil spirits that were sealed in Xiao Jixiang's dream, and they used to change the appearance of everyone in the Haotian Sect to induce Xiao Jixiang to take the bait.

Of course, there are not ghosts that are powerful enough to directly devour living souls. For example, those 100,000 souls fully possess this ability after being fused into one. But even ghosts with such abilities usually choose to use illusions as soon as possible.

This is their instinct.

Although Wang Bingxuan looked reckless with the chain, in fact, when faced with a real threat, he would go all out and still use illusions to fight against people.

So having said that, the Bridge of Purity, which can protect the soul and dispel illusions, has become an indispensable item on this trip to the ghost world.

Repairing the Bridge of Purity has become a top priority.

But how to repair the Bridge of Purity?

At this moment, Su Fan was sitting cross-legged on the bed in his small courtyard behind the mountain, staring blankly at the pile of fragments of the Bridge of Life in front of him.

Aura!

He suddenly thought that if he wanted to repair the Bridge of Purity, he must first wake up the weapon spirit skeleton.

What Skeleton likes most is aura and soul. He used a lot of soul for the first repair. When he advanced to become an Immortal Treasure, he also absorbed the aura of nearly a trillion spiritual crystals.

That time I really sucked him dry...

's family fortune.

Thinking of this, Su Fan smiled helplessly, raised his forehead and shook his head.

But... if it is damaged to this extent, how much spiritual energy and soul will be needed to repair it?

Maybe the soul is not within the scope of Su Fan's consideration for the time being, because he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and secondly, he will not seize other people's souls specifically for the purpose of repairing the Bridge of Life.

Doing this is no different from those evil cultivators.

As for those lonely ghosts, you can consider it...

"It would be nice if there was a big sect like the Haotian Sect that provoked people, like the Spirit Clan, so that I could collect the souls in a grand way..." Su Fan thought humbly.

Of course, he just thought about it. After all, he didn't mean that he would encounter a large number of sect disciples doing evil when he went out casually. It just so happened that his master was the kind of reckless man who didn't know right from wrong and had no brains to protect his calf. He could meet someone like Taoist Ji Long.

Unparalleled quality.

Furthermore, with the current strength and status of the Haotian Sect, who would dare to come and look for trouble?

Let alone the death of one or two disciples, even if the sect leader dies, they may not dare to say anything, right?

Therefore, the path of divine soul is basically impossible, so the only solution for now is to rely on spiritual energy.

Right now, the best way to obtain a large amount of spiritual energy as quickly as possible is to use spiritual crystals, a huge amount of spiritual crystals.

It cost hundreds of billions to advance last time, so this time, no matter what, you have to start with hundreds of billions, right?

Su Fan looked at his Qiankun Ring and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now he has everything in his body, and even if he adds up, he only has less than 200 million left, and is still short of 99.8 billion...

Where could I steal so many spiritual crystals?

How about... misappropriating the Haotian Sect's treasure house?

As soon as this idea came up, Su Fan immediately rejected it.

Haotian Sect has recently absorbed so many new disciples, and the number has exceeded ten.

Wan mark, now is the time when money is needed.

Taking the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation as an example, the daily expenses of hundreds of thousands of disciples is probably an astronomical figure.

If I misappropriate hundreds of billions of spiritual crystals for no reason, I am afraid that everyone in the whole sect will have to eat steamed buns for half a month.

It doesn't matter if you just eat steamed buns and just pickle vegetables, the resistance will be over soon. The biggest fear is the shortage of inventory. Once there is no inventory, the Haotian Sect may collapse if there is a slight disturbance.

What follows is a breakdown in the capital chain, fiscal deficit, inflation, economic crisis...

Then Haotian Sect's economic system collapsed...

Cultivation of immortals is very expensive, especially establishing a sect. If you don't have a financial foundation, you can't even think about the magic pills, grasses, treasures, souls, and essences. You may not even be able to afford food.

How about...ask Zhang Shanfeng to borrow some?

Su Fan had another idea in his mind.

As the largest sect in the world, Zhang Fengfeng should theoretically be equal to the richest man in the world of cultivation, right?

The annual tribute paid by the surrounding small countries is not a small amount. As the sect leader, Zhang Shanfeng naturally received the most.

These are obvious.

As for how much he can earn by taking advantage of his position behind the scenes, I'm afraid only Zhang Shanfeng himself knows.

Su Fan murmured: "When my uncle is in trouble, there's no reason why my nephew shouldn't help me, right? I'll pay him back after I get over this hurdle."

Thinking of this, he immediately got out of bed and flew towards the Haotian Tower.

…

After finding Zhang Shanfeng, Su Fan straightforwardly explained his intention to come.

"Nephew, please borrow some money."

I thought Zhang Shanshan would happily agree, but instead he showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
