"Ghost beads?" Ling Xuewei looked at the ghost woman.
"Yes, just like this." The ghost woman took out a black bead as she said, "This is a kind of currency circulated in the underworld, used for trading. This is a ghost bead made from ten years of energy. Usually only the ghost king can "A little bit of energy is used as a pearl", which is used to reward the ghosts below or the ghosts who do outstanding things..."
Ling Xuewei picked up the beads and looked at them, and she could faintly feel a "qi" from the ghost beads.
Ling Xuewei inserted her spiritual power into the bead and used her spiritual power to wrap up the "qi".
Suddenly, there was only a "puff" sound, and the ghost energy turned into a ghost bead and fell into her palm!
"It really works..."
The hag was shocked!
The look he looked at Ling Xuewei was like looking at the God of Wealth.
The hag's face was distorted with excitement! A real nose-shaving monster!
"Oh my god, you actually succeeded? Sir! You are so amazing! It's amazing..."
Ling Xuewei tried a few more, and except for one that exploded due to improper operation of spiritual power, the other three were successfully transformed into ghost beads.
What surprised Ling Xuewei even more was that the age of these ghost beads was very high, the lowest one was twenty years old, and the highest one was fifty years old!
This is just a low-level will-o'-the-wisp on the first floor. If you go to the lower level and encounter a higher-level will-o'-the-wisp, then... the hag's heart will feel hot!
Originally, the hag just wanted to survive from the stowaway. If possible, she could ask the ghost king for credit, but now... the hag has an even crazier idea!
"Sir! What if I can take you to the lower level?"
The hag's eyes were shining.
Ling Xuewei looked at her...
…
"Succeeded? Seriously?"
"Yes, the hag is outside and said she would report to you in person."
At this moment, the ghost was a little surprised when he heard the report from the kid below.
It's better to say it was an accident.
"Am I overthinking it?"
Although stowaways are rare, not everyone is like that man. Otherwise, wouldn't the underworld have been in chaos for tens of thousands of years?
Thinking of this, he was relieved.
"Tell her to come in."
"yes."
After a while, the hag came in.
The hag was also holding a round object in her hand. The ghost glanced at it and said, "The hag is still quick."
"Humph, the task you assigned this time has been completed, but in addition to what I said before, I have another request."
"Tell me about it."
"I want to go down to the second floor."
"What?" The ghost was surprised, "Ghost, you have been on the first floor for a thousand years, why do you suddenly want to go down? You have to think clearly, you will not be as comfortable as you are on the first floor when you go down there. Here, at least I will I can still protect you, but those ghosts below are not as easy to talk to as I am."
"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. I've reached a bottleneck now. If I keep going like this, I'll be wiped out sooner or later. You also know that if we can't go further, we have to retreat."
Humans will die, and so do ghosts. It’s just that ghosts have longer lifespans, but they are also very fragile.
If ghosts cannot follow the path of ghost cultivation, they will become scattered ghosts, that is, the lowest level of ghosts. Only by cultivating and moving up step by step can they survive.
In other words, ghost cultivation is more cruel than human cultivation.
"Even so, you still have hundreds of years, so why are you anxious?"
"Hey, the old woman doesn't have such a good life. I want to give it a try while this old bone can still move. You are still young. You will understand when you get to my age..."
What the hag said was true, and even the ghosts had no doubts.
In fact, people like hags are the outliers, and most ghost cultivators hope to go one step further.
Even he is the same.
"I have tried to persuade you so many times before, but you have always refused. It's good to think about it now. It's not difficult for you to go to the second floor. It requires a test to tell others, but we don't need it since we are our own people. I'm on the second floor.
I know a ghost official at the top, let me contact you and see if I can get a place for you... In two days, it will be the day when the Styx River opens, you go and prepare first, then we will cross the river together."
The Styx River connects the seven levels of purgatory passages, so if you want to go on, you can only pass through the Styx River.
There is a ferryman in the Styx River. They are here to transport various ghost cultivators to each level. Only the ferryman can open the passages on each level.
"Then it's up to you."
As she spoke, the hag threw three ghost beads.
This one is a 20-year cultivation. It is a 20-year ghost bead. The ghost is still very generous, which is why several ghosts are willing to sell it to her to save face.
"You're welcome."
The ghost put it away naturally.
"By the way, this... do you still see it? Only half of the head is left, and the other parts are already mutilated."
The ghost woman asked inadvertently, and the ghost angel had already focused all his attention on the ghost bead. He waved his hand casually and said, "You can handle it."
"Okay, then you are busy, I will go back first."
After saying this, the hag left.
After coming out, the hag greeted the ghosts outside as usual, dragged a blood-stained bag, and returned to her residence.
The ghost woman lives in a remote place. You have to walk a long way. There are almost no ghosts around. The house is made of stone. Most of the houses here are made of stone, which is pretty good.
With a creak, he opened the door, entered the house, and then... lit the oil lamp.
The woman is sitting inside the house.
It is Ling Xuewei.
"grown ups."
The hag respectfully spread the package in her hands, and the bloody human head inside gradually transformed into a stone.
"how?"
"Live up to your trust."
This is the method the hag just said, and it coincides with what she thought.
However, Ling Xuewei was curious about why the ghost woman suddenly changed her attitude. She guessed that it was probably because of the ghost beads.
In fact, the reason why the ghost woman changed her mind was partly because Ling Xuewei possessed the power of divine fire. Thinking of the blue-gold flame she had seen before, she couldn't help but have a flash of fear in her eyes.
The divine fire that can burn everything is a more terrifying existence than the karmic fire.
For little devils like them, the divine fire can burn them to ashes in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
The strongest conquest is the shock of force.
Ling Xuewei understood very well how to make these little devils obedient. Only by making them fear from the bottom of their hearts could they surrender.
Of course, in addition to this, Ling Xuewei is not stingy about giving some benefits to the ghost woman.
"Thank you for your hard work. This should be considered as reward for your hard work."
As she spoke, Ling Xuewei turned her palm over and two beads appeared in her hand.
These are two ghost beads, and they are both century-level ghost beads!
Ling Xuewei tried many more times and found that the stronger the evil spirit of the ghost fire, the more difficult it was to transform it. After more than a dozen failures, she gradually mastered some tricks and condensed a century-old ghost bead.
This gave her a little more confidence for her subsequent actions.
At least it can be used as a means to win over the little devils.
