What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

201 Spirit Land (2)

Old Man Nightmare casually explained and pointed at a cave abode in the distance. "This is Elder Wang's residence. He cultivates ghost cultivation techniques and has several pure ghost cultivators under him."

The style of this cave abode was an ancient residence with a cold aura. There were two red lanterns hanging at the entrance, emitting a strange color. Coupled with the already gloomy ghost pit, it looked like a ghost residence at first glance.

In fact, there were indeed ghosts inside, but they were not wandering ghosts, but ghosts that knew how to cultivate.

"Ghost cultivators…"

Song Shi fell into deep thought. There were two types of ghostly cultivators. One was living people who cultivated ghostly cultivation techniques and became neither human nor ghost. The other type of existence was souls who cultivated without a physical body. They were equivalent to ghosts with cultivation.

Either way, they were no longer walking the orthodox path of becoming immortal. Even if they were powerful enough in the future, they would still go to the Nine Nether and live in darkness for the rest of their life.

Those who walked this path either had special Talents or people like Bai Xiaoqin who had no choice.

"This Elder Wang's background is quite interesting. He was originally in the mortal world doing business with the dead. He accidentally came into contact with immortal cultivation techniques. Later on, he couldn't stop himself and finally came to our sect."

Old Man Nightmare said casually.

"What dead man's business?"

"He collected the corpses and buried them. I heard that he obtained his first immortal cultivation technique in the graveyard. He's considered a legend in his hometown."

"Looks like there's some luck involved."

Song Shi was deep in thought. In this world, if one was not in a sect, it was extremely difficult to cultivate outside.

"However, in our sect, his strength seems a little ordinary. However, this person often deals with ghosts and has a good relationship with the Ghost Kings of the Spirit Land."

The Blood-Robed old ghost revealed some information.

"Spirit Land?" Song Shi still did not know the situation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"It's in the depths of the ghost pit. There's no sunlight there all year round, and the yin energy is dense. Over the years, many powerful ghosts have accumulated. In ancient times, a powerhouse opened up a space and nurtured many Ghost Emperors. They can be considered neighbors of our Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Song Shi could not help but think of the densely packed ghosts he had seen in the ghost pit.

"If the Blood-robed Elder wants to know more about the situation, he can just go and check the sect's ancient records."

Old Man Nightmare didn't say much. When they arrived in front of the haunted house, the red door in front of them looked very strange, as if it was dyed red with blood.

"Is Elder Wang here? The Blood-robed Elder is looking for you."

He shouted at the cave abode.

In the cave abode, Wang Xilian shivered. "Damn it, how did they find us so quickly!"

"Damn it, what should I do? I just sent his maid away and this guy actually jumped out with a whoosh!"

He cursed in a low voice, but he did not dare to reply.

Song Shi waited outside for a moment and frowned slightly.

"Perhaps Elder Wang isn't around and you know the place. Why don't you come and take a look next time?"

Old Man Nightmare smiled awkwardly.

"He's inside. He doesn't seem to want to see me."

Song Shi looked at the array formation outside the cave abode and sneered.

This array formation was only Class 4. Not to mention seeing through it at a glance, it was not a problem to determine if its master was inside.

Old Man Nightmare stared at the cave abode in surprise and realized that something was wrong.

Elder Wang had appeared before. Now that he had avoided meeting him, he most likely had done a disservice to Song Shi.

If even he could conclude this, how could Song Shi not sense it?

He secretly sent a thought, "Elder Wang, you know the Blood-Robed old ghost's personality. It's useless to dodge. If you don't want to be beaten up, you'd better meet him."

In the cave dwelling, Wang Xilian's expression changed. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stood up. "Zhu'er, Sha'er, hurry up and welcome the guests!"

Squeak~

The red door of the mansion opened, and two phantoms, red and yellow, appeared lightly. They flew in front of Song Shi and Old Man Nightmare without touching the ground.

"Greetings, Elders."

Song Shi saw that the two Spirits were bowing to him timidly.

A middle-aged man in a long black robe strode over from the door. His aura was cold, and his face was long and pale. His lips seemed to be covered in makeup and he did not look like a living person at a glance.

Putting on a stiff smile, the latter clasped his fist and said, "Greetings to the two of you. Why are you suddenly looking for me?"

"Where's Xiao Qin? I want to see her."

Song Shi went straight to the point. He felt that since this guy was a little fishy, there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Xiao Qin… She… She went out on a mission and won't be back for a while."

Wang Xilian said calmly.

"Really?"

Song Shi looked at the latter meaningfully. "I don't have a good temper. Whoever provokes me will definitely take revenge. I don't want to get into a conflict with Elder Wang again after I've just fought."

Wang Xilian felt uncomfortable. This was clearly a threat and he was getting a little afraid.

"It's indeed a quest. I saw that Xiao Qin is talented and is a Spirit, so I arranged for her to cultivate in the Ghost World. Her cultivation speed there will definitely be much faster than here."

Wang Xilian insisted that it was a Quest and did not say that he had arranged it on purpose.

Song Shi did not have any evidence to prove that the other party had maliciously dealt with Bai Xiaoqin. He only said firmly, "Ask her to come back. I have something to discuss with her."

The latter immediately looked troubled, "This is very troublesome. The Spirit Land is special. I can't communicate with it for the time being."

A golden light flashed in Song Shi's hand. He took out a golden Spear and spun it in his hand. He stared at Wang Xilian with a dark expression, "Do you want to taste the power of these Dharma treasures?"

Wang Xilian's voice became much louder. "Why? Blood-robed Elder, are you going to hit me? What right do you have to hit me?"

"Are you still playing me for a fool?"

Song Shi's body emitted a golden light, and a powerful pressure enveloped the surroundings. His scorching Nomological power turned into flames and burned. The extreme Yang power made Zhu'er and Sha'er scream miserably. Their bodies were burned by the masculine power and they hurriedly hid back in their cave abodes in fear.

Wang Xilian's body was emitting sizzling sounds as the things smeared on it slowly melted. His expression was ugly. "Blood-Robed old ghost, don't go overboard. I'm not easy to bully!"

"Haha!"

Without another word, Song Shi raised the Spear that he had yet to refine and smashed it over.

The latter's expression was cold. A long needle appeared in front of him and he stabbed it at Song Shi.

He did not stab his weapon. Dharma treasures like needles were not suitable for head-on collisions with Spears.

The hair-thin needle shot towards Song Shi's eyes. Although it was a Dharma treasure, the destructive power it contained made Song Shi's eyes hurt. This was under the condition that he had not yet been stabbed.

A circle of solid golden light appeared on his body. This was the power of the Diamond Spirit Body. Coupled with the powerful Nine Yang Nomological power, it formed layers of Defense.

On the other hand, Wang Xilian also activated the protective power of his Dharma treasures.

BANG!

Wang Xilian, who had Dharma treasures protecting him, was instantly sent flying back, smashing a hole in the door of his cave abode.

Wang Xilian's needle was stuck in Song Shi's Defense although it almost pierced his skin. In the end, both sides were in a stalemate.

His pupils constricted.

Was their difference in strength so obvious? This person didn't even seem to have used much strength.

He stood up from the broken door and pulled. There seemed to be a thread on the tail of the needle, and he pulled it back.

"Yo, playing with needles?"

Song Shi glanced at the Diamond Spirit Body's barrier that had been pierced through. If he had not used a portion of his strength just now, he would probably have been injured.

This was the first time he had encountered someone of the same level who could break through his defense so easily. Needle-shaped Dharma treasures were indeed indispensable.

He wasn't afraid. He rushed over and smashed randomly, causing Wang Xilian to suffer a loss.

"Blood-robed Elder, please show mercy."

Old Man Nightmare had no choice but to stop the fight. He was afraid that if the fight continued, Wang Xilian would be beaten to death.

"I won't stop until he tells me."

Song Shi continued to approach Wang Xilian. The Dharmic powers on his body surged even more, and his Aura was increasing.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Wang Xilian's door was shattered by Song Shi. He vomited blood non-stop.

His eyes were filled with shock.

Was the disparity between them so great?

He had tried his best to attack, but he was no match for him at all. The other party was simply a humanoid Dharma treasure. His body was hard and his strength was terrifying.

"Stop it, I admit defeat!"

He raised his hands in surrender, "I've arranged for your maid to be assigned to a Ghost King in the Ghost Realm. But this is a good thing for her!"

202 Breaking into the Ghost Door (1)

"Arrangements? I think you gave her away as a gift. Without a person to support her, she became goods for you to trade?"

Song Shi sneered.

This was not too surprising.

Bai Xiaoqin was still too weak and beautiful. It would be difficult for her to control her own fate.

Without his support, it was normal for her to be sold against her will.

"No, I asked for her opinion. As a ghost, it's definitely better to follow the Ghost King than me."

Wang Xilian denied.

"Blood-robed Elder, look, Elder Wang didn't do it on purpose. Why don't we forget about this matter?"

Old Man Nightmare mediated.

"That's right. She's just a maid who has just entered the Qi Refinement realm. Why do you care so much?"

Elder Wang pretended to be relaxed.

"She's mine. It's up to me to make the arrangements. Are you worthy of her?"

Song Shi's expression was arrogant as he retorted fiercely.

Bai Xiaoqin had fallen to such a state because of him and the Song family. She had followed him for a period of time, and he, Song Shi, was not as heartless as some old monsters. Naturally, he could not ignore her plight.

Wang Xilian's face was ashen, but he didn't dare to retort. Otherwise, the Spear above his head would immediately smash down.

"Get up and take me to the Ghost King you mentioned!"

Song Shi kicked Wang Xilian.

"You must be joking. Don't you know that the Spirit Land is a space for ghosts to survive? If living people go there, their lives will be in danger."

Wang Xilian's eyes widened, "At most, I'll help you inform them or get the sect master to open a Teleportation channel for you to communicate directly."

"Lead the way!"

Song Shi stabbed the golden spear beside his thigh. "Or I can kill you and turn you into a ghost first. That way, you'll be suitable to go to the Spirit Land."

Wang Xilian swallowed his saliva. He felt that Song Shi was not joking.

He did not want to lose his physical body, so he could only stand up resentfully. "Actually, it's not a big problem for us Golden Core cultivators to take a walk in the Spirit Land as long as we're careful."

Old Man Nightmare took his leave tactfully. "Since the two of you are going to the Spirit Land, I still have something on, so I won't follow you."

Seeing that Old Man Nightmare was about to slip away, Wang Xilian hurriedly said, "Hey, Elder Nightmare, didn't you want to go to the Spirit Land to find a special type of Spirits last time? Since it's on the way. After we're done, I'll help you find them."

But Old Man Nightmare ignored him and ran away.

He was just a guide and did not want to get involved in their matters.

Wang Xilian's face darkened. He had to face this demon alone now. Thinking of his opponent's achievements, he felt immense pressure.

"Come on, why are you dilly-dallying?"

Song Shi was impatient. He wanted to see what was going on in the Spirit Land. Perhaps he could die a few more times and get a ten consecutive lottery draw.

Wang Xilian flew towards the ghost pit with a bitter expression and started free-falling.

Song Shi had returned to the pit again. The grayish-black fog was surging upwards. There were dense chains in the central area that connected to the surrounding rock walls, as if they were sealing something.

Among them, ghosts could be seen floating from time to time. However, these ghosts were all part of the array and were not free.

"Could this array formation be used to seal the Spirit Land?"

Song Shi observed all the way and plummeted one hundred thousand feet in one go. The lower he went, the wider the diameter became.

After passing through the darkness, he saw a large number of ghost flames at the bottom, illuminating the densely packed ghost shadows.

As the ghostly wind blew past, Song Shi could sense his Nomological power barrier trembling. It was slowly being corroded by the ghostly wind.

Although the speed of corrosion was not very fast, it was constantly eroding.

Song Shi was like a light in the night, attracting pairs of malicious eyes.

Greed, hostility… Song Shi felt that many gazes on him from people who wanted to kill him and eat him.

On the contrary, Wang Xilian was quite at ease. He felt like a fish in water.

He became more confident and glanced at Song Shi from the corner of his eye. "Blood-robed Elder, your powerful blood qi will easily attract the covetous eyes of ghosts. Are you sure you want to continue?"

BANG!

Song Shi slapped the fellow and sent him flying. He said unhappily, "If there's something wrong with your eyes, go and treat it. It's not good if your eyesight is bad."

Wang Xilian spat out a mouthful of blood from the powerful slap. He bent his body and recovered his body. "I take back what I said just now. The Blood-robed elder is extraordinary. What are mere demons and monsters compared to him?"

He coughed up blood and led the way, not daring to provoke Song Shi again.

"Boohoo…"

It was pitch-black along the way. There were the sounds of women and children crying and the roars of wild beasts. This space seemed to be filled with all kinds of demons and monsters.

As the ghost wind howled, one ghost after another silently approached.

"You punks want to drink my blood?"

Song Shi was disdainful. He released a wisp of Nomological power and turned into a sun on the spot, illuminating the surroundings.

"Ah!"

The surrounding ghosts screamed miserably. TTheir expressions of agony were ferocious as they turned into green smoke and dissipated.

Wang Xilian was shocked. This person's Nomological power was so domineering. Just the light he emitted evaporated normal ghosts on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of ghosts retreated. No ghosts dared to approach Song Shi again, and the path was smooth.

"What did you used to do?"

Song Shi seemed bored and asked casually.

Wang Xilian was surprised. Why did this person care about his past? He replied casually, "I was a corpse stitcher. Sometimes I also helped out with manual labor, such as carrying coffins and digging tombs."

"Oh, no wonder you used needle-type Dharma treasures. I thought you were a eunuch who cultivated the Sunflower Bible[1″Sunflower Bible" is a cultivation manual that eunuchs cultivate from the Chinese classic, "The Smiling, Proud Wandered" it is supposed to help eunuchs cultivate domestic prowess] ."

Song Shi was enlightened.

"I seem to have heard that eunuchs in Great Qian also cultivate a very powerful cultivation technique that likes to use needle-shaped Dharma treasures. However, what kind of divine technique is the Sunflower Bible?"

203 Breaking into the Spirit Gate (2)

Wang Xilian was curious.

"It's a cultivation technique suitable for eunuchs. It can turn a man into a woman."

Song Shi smiled cheekily.

"That's a little similar to the Beautiful Moon Demonic Technique of the Yao Moon Palace."

Wang Xilian understood immediately.

"The Yao Moon Palace has such a technique?"

Song Shi was surprised.

"Yes, I heard that not long ago, a person who cultivated this technique died inexplicably in the Yao Moon Palace. Because she was actually a man, everyone discussed this for a few days."

Wang Xilian nodded. "Actually, it's not just the Yao Moon Palace. Sky Demon Cult also has it. This kind of technique is even more bizarre than the ghostly path techniques I cultivate."

Song Shi interrupted, "Wait, what did you say the name of the dead one was?"

"An elder called Daoist Lu Yue. Hehe, this person once had some emotional ties with a Guardian of Sky Demon Cult. The most important part is that they were both men in the beginning so it was a good story to gossip about back then. It's a pity that no matter how pure a relationship is, it can't withstand time."

Wang Xilian laughed strangely and said with interest.

He saw that Song Shi's expression was a little off, "What's wrong? Do Blood-robed elder know of them?"

"Hehe, we are more than just acquaintances."

Song Shi shook his head fearfully.

Fortunately, he did not dual cultivate with that old woman back then. Otherwise, he would lose his reputation.

Wang Xilian began to chatter non-stop until they arrived at the bottom of the ghost pit.

"We've arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Land!"

Wang Xilian suddenly stopped. In the fog, an underground river appeared, emitting a strange green light.

"This is the Ghost River that leads to the Spirit Land. The location of the light source is the entrance."

Wang Xilian pointed at the end of the long river. A blurry domain of light was fluctuating with the river and some Spirits were entering and exiting.

"That's interesting."

Song Shi stared at the river for a moment before lowering his body and touching it with his hand.

It was as if he had touched sulfuric acid. The terrifying corrosive power melted his magic barrier.

At this moment, Song Shi felt like he was a raging fire meeting ice. The two extreme powers quickly neutralized each other.

"This is the Ghost River. Only ghosts and evil spirits can enter."

Wang Xilian stood at the side and explained. He wanted to see if Song Shi dared to go down, but a hand grabbed him.

"Go and try."

He was thrown into the river by Song Shi.

Plop!

With the sound of falling into the water, Wang Xilian fell into the strange river in a sorry state. A bone-chilling power surged over.

"…"

Wang Xilian almost cursed. The cold power made a layer of white frost appear on his body. He hurriedly formed a seal and a circle of Nomological power surged out to block the power in the water.

"It seems like nothing has happened. It can't kill me."

Song Shi looked at the light source in the water and jumped in. He quickly swam over.

It looked very close, but in fact, the light source was very far away. The nearby ghosts did not seem to be affected by the water. Instead, it was him, a living person, whose magic power was being quickly consumed.

After diving for about half a minute, Song Shi came to the light source. The space here was distorted, and there was a huge spatial crack.

In the crack was a water door engraved with cold runes. Inside stood a bull-headed ghost.

"Ox-Head?"

Song Shi was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a ghost.

"In front of the Spirit Gate, the living shall stop!"

The ox head buzzed as it stared coldly at Song Shi.

"Let the ghost I am looking for come out. Then I won't go in."

Song Shi said coldly.

"Human, this is not how you look for ghosts!"

BANG!

With a low collision sound, the bull-headed figure was immediately sent flying by Song Shi in a sorry state. It only stopped after falling for more than a hundred meters.

"Are all the ghosts guarding the door so confident now? Can't you see that I'm stronger than you? Why are you still so pretentious?"

Song Shi landed in front of the ghost door. He looked at the space inside and walked in without hesitation.

Song Shi's vision distorted, and the sense of space became chaotic for a moment. Then, he arrived at a green space.

"So green!"

Song Shi looked up in surprise. The space here was very large. It looked similar to the outside. There were mountains and rivers, but the sky was green, like a ghost fire. A green sun floated.

The grass and trees that were visible to the naked eye did not have any vitality. Instead, they were filled with a lifeless aura. The ground was filled with bones and blood rivers flowed. It looked like hell.

Here, Song Shi felt as if his soul was about to float out and fly towards the green sun in the sky.

"Human, aren't you afraid that your soul will dissipate if you dare to barge into the Spirit Gate?"

Ox-Head got up angrily and questioned.

"That depends on whether I have the ability to withstand it. However, it's more likely that I'll let your soul dissipate first."

Song Shi looked at Wang Xilian proudly. "Tell me which Ghost King it is. We'll go and find him directly!"

"Demon King Chi Huo."

Wang Xilian replied.

"Aren't the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect a little too arrogant now? How dare they barge in without permission?"

A black shadow appeared and stared at Song Shi with a cold smile, revealing steel-like teeth.

Behind this black shadow were two ghostly figures. One had a scarlet tongue and the other had a long neck, like a snake.

Amidst the wild shrieks and howls, a group of demons and monsters appeared. They were wearing special armor and were all staring at them with hostility.

Of course, in the eyes of these guys, there were still some who were greedy and wanted to eat them.

"Mu Can, don't be so agitated. We're only here to look for a ghost, not to fight with you."

Wang Xilian hurriedly explained. Now that he had been forcefully dragged in by Song Shi, he had actually broken the rules of tacit understanding between the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Spirit Land.

"Corpse Stitcher, cut the crap. Today, either you get out of here immediately or you die here!"

Mu Can's brows turned cold, and a dangerous aura appeared on his body.

He was the person in charge of guarding the entrance to the Spirit Land, so he naturally could not let anyone in.

"Come, if you don't kill me today, I'll kill you."

Song Shi grinned. He was deliberately being impolite because he wanted to provoke someone to kill him.

"You sure talk big!"

Mu Can raised his hand. His sharp nails were exceptionally long. When he held them slightly, they were like steel knives. He walked towards Song Shi with a cold expression.

Wang Xilian tactfully retreated, giving both sides room to fight.

"Die!"

A cold light flashed under Mu Can's hand. His nails carried terrifying destructive power. With a sway of his feet, he arrived in front of Song Shi in the blink of an eye and stabbed at his eyes.

Facing the abnormally fast claws, Song Shi was slightly surprised.

This fellow was only at the level of a Ghost King. Why did he feel like he couldn't stop him in time? If it were someone of the same level as him, he would probably have suffered a loss on the spot.

He looked at the sneer on the other party's lips. A golden bell-like energy shield appeared on his body. With an ear-piercing friction sound, the ghost claw cut marks on the shield.

Song Shi was deep in thought. "It's not that he's fast. It's just that my reaction speed has slowed down. There's something wrong with this space."

He sensed that his soul and body were affected by a force and became incompatible. He immediately visualized the moon and his Spiritual strength condensed into one. As the white light between his eyebrows lit up, a light flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the ghost claw and exerted strength.

Crack!

The black ghost claw with sharp nails was broken on the spot with a bang.

A fire dragon sent Mu Can, who had lost an arm, flying. Half of his body was shattered by the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Song Shi looked at Mu Can, who was injured but not bleeding. The latter's body was illusory and was slowly fusing, "Without a physical body, you won't be able to beat him up!"

This made Wang Xilian subconsciously cover his chest and sigh in his heart.

How did a blood-path demonic cultivator become a body-tempering cultivator who used brute force for no reason?

Mu Can's spirit body was injured, but his attitude did not change much. Instead, he pretended to be fierce, but he was weak inside. "Do you know that you've already violated the agreement between the Spirit Land and the outside world?"

"A deal with whom?"

Song Shi pursed his lips, "I didn't agree to it. Get lost!"

He casually threw out a fireball and it exploded with a bang, causing the other ghosts guarding the door to escape. No one dared to take him head-on.

The seemingly large number of ghosts were dispersed by Song Shi in the blink of an eye. Song Shi forcefully stepped into this unique space.

Many divine thoughts probed over and found that it was a living person who had barged into the Spirit Gate. Many of them were surprised.

"Who is this person? How dare he cause trouble in the Spirit Land?"

"You're quite arrogant, human. I'll slay you later and taste your blood."

The high-level ghosts living in this space were hostile to Song Shi.

204 Stomped to Death by the Hoof of an Ox, Becoming a High-Grade Spirit Body (1)

There was a commotion at the door. After a series of screams, the reapers guarding the door were completely wiped out.

Song Shi grabbed the long-necked ghost's neck with his right hand, dragged the long-tongued ghost's tongue with his other hand, and stepped on Mu Can.

"Tell Chi Huo to bring my maid over immediately!"

Song Shi's entire body burned with golden flames, like the Sun God's Relocate to the Spirit Land, dispelling the surrounding demons and monsters.

He kicked the long-tongued ghost out. "You have a long tongue. Go and report this to him!"

The long-tongued ghost ran away dejectedly. He did not know if he should report or call for reinforcements.

"Human, don't go too far. This is the kingdom of the ghosts."

The ox head roared angrily. A foot with flames landed and crushed his mouth.

Wang Xilian looked at the messy battlefield with lingering fears, "Blood-robed elder, you will offend the entire Spirit Land if you continue to do this."

He really could not understand why this person was so arrogant. Was he really not afraid of death?

"Only the weak would compromise. I don't need to!"

Song Shi grabbed the long-necked ghost, "How many Ghost Emperors do you have here?"

"Even the sect master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect has to be polite to the three Ghost Emperors and the twenty-eight Ghost Kings. You won't be arrogant for long!"

The Long-neck ghost gritted his teeth.

"Oh, that's good. We'll have more fun later."

Song Shi calculated the number of lucky draws he could potentially get.

A Ghost King should be able to kill him. It wouldn't be a problem for him to die a few times here.

At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard. Amidst the rumbling sound, a black mountain beside them suddenly moved.

"Human, how did Lu Jiu let you in?"

RUMBLE!

Ads by Pubfuture

Amidst the violent tremors, the white bones on the ground flew everywhere, and cracks appeared. The black mountain rose from the ground, and ghost Qi rippled, covering the sky. The green light was blocked by the black mountain.

"Not good, the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor has been alerted!"

His face turned green under the dim green light, "It's over. There's no way out. We have to quickly inform the sect master to save us."

Just as he was about to take out the token, he felt a chill on his back and a strand of cold hair wrapped around his neck, "Corpse Stitcher, if you don't want your head to be separated and become the target of stitching, you'd better stay obediently. We'll talk about your wrongs after we kill this guy."

Behind him, a white ghost had appeared out of nowhere. It had a head full of black hair that covered its white face, leaving only its exquisite chin.

Old Wang's body stiffened and he smiled awkwardly, "Zhen Nu, I'm also a victim. This lunatic forced me to come in."

"Hehe, he's indeed crazy. He dares to be so arrogant in my Spirit Land. Even Lu Jiu doesn't dare to do this."

Zhen Nu smiled mockingly and dragged Old Wang back, handing the battlefield to the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor.

The mountain spewed out billowing black smoke. Above the thousand-meter-tall figure, a pair of bull horns pointed at the sky. Its eyes were like two red suns, and its nostrils were covered in black smoke. It looked down at Song Shi, who was like an ant on the ground.

"Human, how dare you hit my son? You're courting death!"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor opened his mouth and formed a gust of wind that blew away sand and rocks, sending white bones flying.

Song Shi looked at the bull's head under his feet in surprise, "Good lord, you ghosts can give birth? How did you do it? How does it work?"

"Ignorant ant, what do you know!"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor sneered and spat out a mouthful of air. Like a hurricane, it landed on Song Shi's body and blew him away with the other ghosts.

Before Song Shi could stabilize himself, a black heavenly pillar smashed down.

On a closer look, it was actually a cow's hoof. The bottom was hard and black, with a faint light.

Song Shi's expression changed. This guy did not look like a soul. He looked more real, like he had a physical body.

"I didn't expect to experience the feeling of being trampled to death by a cow's hoof one day."

Curious, he stood calmly on the spot and evaluated the power of the ox hooves.

This hoof was quite powerful. It should be able to kill him with one stomp.

Seeing that Song Shi didn't escape, Zhen Nu who pulled Wang Xilian back disdainfully said, "He's already scared silly. Is that all?"

BOOM!

The ground shook, and the ox's hooves landed. A huge pit was blasted open where Song Shi was standing, and many white bones were reduced to dust.

Ox-Head crawled up from afar with a mocking expression and a cold gaze.

Zhen Nu crossed her arms and sneered. "He couldn't even withstand a casual strike from the Ghostly Emperor. What right does he have to cause trouble?"

Wang Xilian frowned. What was this Blood-Robed old ghost doing? He didn't dodge or counterattack. It was similar to when he was outside fighting with the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Could it be that this fellow only had life-saving techniques?

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor raised his hooves. In the hundred-meter deep pit, he did not see the bloody mud that Song Shi should have turned into.

He was slightly stunned. His gaze shifted and quickly gathered at another place.

Outside the huge pit, Song Shi appeared out of thin air and nodded, "It's good to be big. The power of your one hoof is astonishing."

He was very satisfied. The hoof had indeed trampled him to death, turning him into a pile of meat paste.

"Ant, you're pretty fast."

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor's hoof landed again.

Boom!

After the shock, Song Shi appeared at the side and said provocatively, "Your eyesight isn't good. Come, I'll give you another target to step on."

He split into two and smiled. One look and one could tell that he was asking for a beating with that provocation.

"Hmph!"

The Black Mountain Ghost King's eyes were filled with killing intent as he stomped on Song Shi's figure.

With his huge body, even his hooves left afterimages. It could be seen how fast he was.

Stomp stomp stomp stomp…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang Xilian and the others watched in a daze.

Why was this scene so strange?

There was no fighting or killing. The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor was just stepping on the ground. They had never seen such a scene before.

205 Stomped to Death by the Hoof of an Ox, Becoming a High-Grade Spirit Body (2)

"What the hell is this guy?"

Zhen Nu had never witnessed this scene before and asked, "Corpse Stitcher, where did this guy come from?"

Wang Xilian had a strange expression, "His name is Blood-Robed old ghost. Previously, he was seriously cultivating to become a demon beforehand. But ever since he resurrected this time, he hasn't been very serious about cultivation."

"It's indeed abnormal. This is the first time I've seen such a battle."

Zhen Nu was speechless.

Suddenly, the Black Mountain Ghost howled and moved its hoof away as if it had been electrocuted. It raised its hoof and took a few steps back. Looking down, a small pit appeared at the bottom of its hoof. It was smoking hot.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was injured!

This time, Song Shi did not appear at the side. He stood in the pit. Golden runes circulated all over his body, emitting a mysterious and firm power. He did not move like a mountain and looked like a small golden man.

His aura surged and he looked even stronger than before. This was a sign that his mid-grade Spirit Body had been upgraded to a high-grade Spirit Body.

At this moment, even if his body did not activate any rune power, its strength was comparable to high-grade Dharma treasures.

If he had the qualifications to clash with Numinous artifacts after activating it, what is puncturing the hoof of the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor?

There were already many ghosts watching the battle in the surroundings. When they saw the powerful Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor suffer a loss, they were all dumbfounded.

In this Spirit Land, there were not many who could hurt the Ghostly Emperor in front of him.

"Human, are you very proud?"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor put down his hooves and snorted, "If it weren't for your small body, do you think you can get to hurt me?"

"Oh, you even know the principle that the smaller the pressure point, the greater the pressure?"

Song Shi raised his eyebrows, and the aura on his body grew stronger. "In that case, I'll pierce through your body later and verify that fact."

"You do have some ability, but unfortunately, it's just some unpresentable tricks. They're useless in front of absolute strength!"

As the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor spoke, his body actually began to shrink and his strength became even more concentrated.

The corners of Song Shi's mouth twitched. It seemed that this guy was not a fool. After realizing that his body was strong, he did not arrogantly fight him with his large body.

"He can actually shrink. After condensing, his power density should have increased too!"

Song Shi narrowed his eyes and observed. When the latter's body shrunk, his aura became more stable and heavy. An obvious sense of oppression assaulted his face.

This guy had become even more dangerous than before.

Swoosh!

Song Shi's vision turned black as he was sent flying with a bang. The high-grade Diamond Spirit Body barrier that he had just condensed was clearly distorting as cracks appeared.

He was shocked. After he used his Nomological power, his body was equivalent to a humanoid Dharma treasure. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was now a special Numinous artifact.

Under such circumstances, the other party actually showed signs of breaking through his barrier. It could be seen how terrifying his destructive power was.

Under the powerful pressure, Song Shi waved his palm without hesitation and collided with the subsequent attack of the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor.

Amidst the muffled sound, Song Shi personally felt how powerful the other party's brute force was. He seemed to have turned back into a mortal and was being struck by a raging bull. He could not help but retreat.

When Zhen Nu and the others saw that the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor was actually attacking with all his might, their expressions changed continuously. They hurriedly retreated to avoid the powerful waves when the two sides collided.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Song Shi was smashed into a sorry state by the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor. He was forced to use all his strength. The nine light sources on his body burned, and his nine cores were all activated. Coupled with the Imperishable Golden Body system, he used up all his might to stabilize himself.

The more Song Shi fought, the more excited he became. The blood in his entire body boiled as he continued to fight Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor head-on.

"How is this possible? How can a person who has just entered the Golden Core realm do this? The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor is at the Nascent Soul realm, and he's not even at the Normal Nascent Soul realm."

Zhen Nu found it hard to accept.

"His close combat Ability is actually so terrifying. He can fight and also escape. Who can do anything to him?"

Wang Xilian's expression was complicated. He was already content that he did not get killed when fighting with him previously.

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor, who had attacked more than ten rounds in a row, experienced Song Shi's power in full force. He became more solemn, "Very good. Let's see how long you can last!"

He didn't believe it and growled, "Get down!"

With a heavy step, a circle of waves spread out, and he was faster than the waves. He clenched his fist and smashed over with unstoppable force.

Song Shi had no choice but to block with his arms, but he was still forced to retreat.

"He's too strong. It's very difficult to kill him in a short period of time."

Song Shi thought to himself, Should I use the Spirit Command Talisman to control him?

While he was thinking.

"Stop!"

A loud shout appeared behind them. Mountain Moving Daoist suddenly appeared, and like a falling meteor, he blasted them away with a bang.

"We're all on the same side. Stop fighting!"

He pressed down on Song Shi's shoulder and said to the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor at the same time, "Grand Senior Master, is your temper still so bad?"

Song Shi was surprised. This black bull was the Great Senior Master of the people who cultivated the mountain moving path?

"Hmph, this person is deliberately provoking us. If we don't suppress him, how do we keep up our reputation?"

Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor breathed out two streams of hot air from his nostrils. He was furious.

"The blood-robed elder's temper is a little bad, but he's not an unreasonable person. He also came over in a hurry to find his beloved maidservant, worried that she would be eaten by the Demon King Chi Huo."

Mountain Moving Daoist intentionally found an excuse for the Blood-Robed old ghost and exaggerated.

Song Shi frowned. These words sounded half-true. Could it be that the Demon King Chi Huo was really going to eat ghosts? He wondered if Bai Xiaoqin was still alive.

"For a maid?"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor was in disbelief.

"Senior Master, that's indeed the case. It's all my fault for being bribed by Chi Huo and sending his maid over."

Wang Xilian hurriedly explained. He was also afraid that he would be implicated if Song Shi caused too much trouble.

Swoosh!

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor stared at Song Shi with his bell-like eyes. "Your nickname is Blood Robes? Yet, you're a body-tempering cultivator. I don't think you're suitable at all. You might as well be called Vajra instead!"

An image of a gorilla involuntarily appeared in Song Shi's mind. He hurriedly shook his head and wiped it away. He pursed his lips. "I'm not a boor!"

"Are you saying that I'm a boor?"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor's expression darkened.

"Senior Master, Blood-Robed old ghost, stop talking."

Mountain Moving Daoist snapped.

"Hmph, your strength is not bad. I'll give you face today and not argue with you!"

He waved his hand with a cold expression and turned into a black shadow to leave.

Soon, another black mountain appeared in the distance. Song Shi could not help but take another look.

"You must be very curious, right? Senior Master is cultivating a divine power. He needs to maintain this state and absorb the Earth Demonic Qi at any time. If he can transform into a thousand feet black mountain, he can go to the Netherworld Realm."

"He can turn himself into a mountain? He was originally a human?"

Song Shi was curious.

"Yes, but that was thousands of years ago. In order to cultivate this divine power, Senior Master fused with the soul of a demon bull, so he no longer sees himself as a human."

Mountain Moving Daoist nodded.

"He can actually do that… Doesn't that mean the son he's talking about is really his son?"

Song Shi looked at the little Ox head in surprise.

"That's right."

Mountain Moving Daoist nodded, "In our Heavenly Ghost Sect, if no Soul Transformation cultivator leaves this world when they are alive, they can still choose to completely transform into ghosts and continue to live a second life. This is how a portion of the ghosts here came about."

At this point, he sighed. "However, this path is not easy. After all, you have broken through the limit of your lifespan. After turning into a ghost, your mind will be polluted by the evil aura of the world and you will lose your mind. It's easy for you to become an irrational evil spirit."

Song Shi could not help but think of the sealing array in the ghost pit. He was deep in thought. "So the Array Formation outside is used to seal powerful evil spirits that have lost their minds?"

"More or less. In our Heavenly Ghost Sect, every time someone dies at the end of their lifespan, they will come here to search for a second life. Some people fail, some succeed and those who fail will basically become crazy."

"You know, the scariest people in this world are not bad people or devils, but lunatics who don't have any sense or logic. They don't recognize anyone and only have desires. They only know how to kill. If you encounter such existences, the weak ones are fine, but the strong ones are basically a death sentence"

Song Shi was shocked and agreed with this sentence.

However, so what if he really met a lunatic? Lunatics are afraid of people who aren't afraid to die.

He should be the most terrifying existence.

Mountain Moving Daoist looked at the green sun in the sky of the Spirit Land and sighed, "This thing is the Nine Nether Black Crystal that helps the soul turn into a ghost and forcefully stays in the human world. I hope I won't need it in the future. Otherwise, I'll most likely have to borrow the demon soul to maintain my rationality and eventually become a monster."

At this moment, Zhen Nu's voice sounded: "Elder Mountain Moving Daoist, Demon King Chi Huo and his maidservant are here!"

When Song Shi heard this, he turned around and saw a beautiful figure looking at him with a smile.

"Elder."

She called out crisply with a sweet expression.

206 Untitled

On the way here, Zhen Nu had revealed that her Elder had dared to fight the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor for her. How could she not be moved?

Ever since her family died, no one had been willing to risk their lives for her. At this moment, she was willing to give her life to this man.

When Song Shi saw this woman's emotional appearance, he knew that she had misunderstood.

It was true that he had come to look for Bai Xiaoqin, but more than that, he also wanted to farm death. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he was fighting with the Ghostly Emperor for the sake of his beloved maid.

I'm really not that good of a man.

Song Shi sighed in his heart. In the Song family, he had been influenced by the men's bad habits.

Which was visiting brothels!

Therefore, he did not think that he was a man worth entrusting his life to.

Especially since he wouldn't die. He was destined to watch his wives die…

Song Shi had many thoughts in his mind. In the end, they converged into a simple sentence, "Let's go home!"

From beginning to end, he did not look at the Demon King Chi Huo who looked rather nervous. He only asked, "Who bullied you here?"

"Thank you for your concern, Elder. I didn't encounter any major problems."

Bai Xiaoqin shook her head. When she came to the Spirit Land, Demon King Chi Huo treated her quite well and even guided her in her cultivation.

"There's nothing else then. Let's call it a day." Song Shi nodded at Mountain Moving Daoist.

Although he did not die enough today, he had still managed to find Bai Xiaoqin back. He would come here to seek death again in the future.

The latter heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this fellow would continue to cause trouble here.

Wang Xilian wiped his cold sweat and felt like he had just survived a calamity.

Song Shi quickly left the Spirit Land with Bai Xiaoqin and left the ghost pit.

After returning outside, Song Shi came to his cave abode and turned on the Array Formation. He turned around and looked at the ghosts that appeared in the ghost pit from time to time. Thinking of the uniqueness of the Spirit Land, he said, "You can stay there to cultivate. The environment below is better."

"I want to follow you, Young Master!"

As soon as she said this, Song Shi was slightly stunned. He looked at the female ghost. "Didn't I tell you to call me Elder?"

"Xiaoqin feels that Elder sounds a little old. Moreover, Young Master has yet to start a family. It sounds better to call him that."

"What do you know?"

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. Why did he feel that this female ghost had sensed his true situation?

"I've heard that Young Master was originally called Song Shi when he was in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range."

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Song Shi seriously, "This name has something to do with my original family. Young Master should know."

Song Shi pondered for a moment and took a deep breath, "You're really smart. How could you tell?

"Just now."

Bai Xiaoqin's eyes moved as she said faintly, "I've heard them talk about the Blood-Robed old ghost and the Ye Family's Patriarch. In the end, I confirmed that neither of them would care about the life and death of a maid like me."

Song Shi's eyes lit up, "So this detail exposed me!"

He really hadn't considered this factor, because his style of doing things was quite unique.

Although he would indeed deliberately pretend to be the Blood-Robed old ghost sometimes, he was not that guy. How could he directly change his personality and habits?

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Song Shi in a daze as tears appeared in her eyes. "You're really Young Master Song. I once saw you from afar at the banquet of the Song and Bai families. I didn't expect that the second time we met, we would be separated by life and death."

Tick, tick, tick.

Tears welled up in Bai Xiaoqin's eyes.

Song Shi sighed and used his hand to wipe those tears away. It was extremely cold.

This further proved that the other party was not alive.

He wiped away Bai Xiaoqin's tears, "We are not separated by life and death. In the cultivation world, ghosts are also a special life form."

Bai Xiaoqin's body trembled as she hugged Song Shi tightly. She cried even louder and more thoroughly.

After dying for so long, she had suppressed too many emotions in her heart. Now that she finally recognized that Song Shi was an old friend from her prior family connections, she could no longer hold it in.

Song Shi stroked Bai Xiaoqin's hair and said in a deep voice, "Since you recognized me, you should know that this is a secret I am keeping."

"Young Master, don't worry. I won't spread it."

Bai Xiaoqin promised, "I will work hard to cultivate and take revenge."

Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears, "I've already killed the culprit. Our enemies should be gone now."

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqin was at a loss for a moment. Her motivation had always been vendetta. Now that she suddenly realized that her enemy was gone, her future was a little uncertain.

"I know that your heart is filled with vengeance because your family was destroyed, but as you can see, our enemies back then are nothing compared to the people we are surrounded by now. Change your target, such as becoming an immortal or a god."

Song Shi was afraid that when this woman lost her target, she would die on the spot.

"Yes, I understand. Young Master will be my goal."

Bai Xiaoqin smiled gently, "Young Master's encounters are extraordinary. To be able to fight against Nascent Souls and Ghostly Emperors in such a short period of time, I'm very impressed."

"Nothing. I was just lucky."

Song Shi waved his hand. He did not think that he was very powerful. He relied on cheating.

If he didn't cheat with the system, he might not even be at Bai Xiaoqin's level right now .

"Young Master is so kind."

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Song Shi happily, "I really want to accompany you for the rest of my life, Young Master.

When Song Shi saw Bai Xiaoqin in a daze, he knew that he had seduced this girl's heart.

He did not reject this admiration. He smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you don't divorce me, I naturally won't abandon you."

Bai Xiaoqin continued to hug Song Shi. "Young Master Song, actually, if the tragedy did not happen, we would have gotten married this year. Uncle Song and my father have already made a decision on this."

207 Untitled

"There was such a thing?"

Song Shi was surprised. He said thoughtfully, "That's true. I'm indeed at the age to consider marriage. If it weren't for the old lady at home stopping me, I would have gotten married two years ago."

In this world, the age of marriage was usually eighteen years old. Those who got married earlier would get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. People of his age were considered late to be married.

"Yes, the marriage contract has already been drafted."

Bai Xiaoqin took out an exquisite piece of paper from her storage bag and handed it to Song Shi.

Song Shi saw the name on it.

Song Zhijian, Bai Xiaoqin.

Zhijian was his name, and Shi was his nickname.

As he felt that the word Zhijian sounded strange, coupled with his habits in his previous life, he usually liked to call himself Song Shi.

The two parties were his father, Song Wan, and the other party's father.

He looked at the time again. It was a week before the disaster struck.

Song Shi was silent.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would have abided by his parents' orders and married Bai Xiaoqin and become a rich man.

He saw what Song Wan had secretly done for him.

Although the Bai family was not a big family,

However, the Bai family had some power. If he married into Bai Xiaoqin's family, the rest of his life would not be too bad.

As long as he didn't mess around, it shouldn't be a problem for him to be rich for the rest of his life.

"This old fellow, we've been separated for so long. It's such a strange feeling when he suddenly shows me some fatherly love."

Song Shi's eyes moistened.

To Song Wan, this was probably what a father should do.

However, to Song Shi, it was still kinship. It made him a little forlorn.

Although Song Wan used to be very afraid of the main branch of the Song Family and had let his mother down, but he could understand Song Wan's difficulties.

In a big family like the Song family, it was impossible for them to do things as recklessly as he did now. They had too many things to consider.

Bai Xiaoqin also cried when she saw her father's name. She stroked the words with her slender hand. "Father, Mother, you will never get to see Xiaoqin get married."

Song Shi took the marriage contract, "Although this is only a draft marriage contract, I can still accept it."

"Are you willing to let me be your bride?" Bai Xiaoqin asked shyly.

She had already decided that she had to rely on Song Shi. If she did not speak out, she could only be a ghost maid forever.

"What's there to be unwilling about? I don't hate you either. Just treat it as fulfilling the wishes of the elders on both sides."

Song Shi smiled. Since the old fellow had arranged a marriage for him, it was only right for him to accept it.

"But… I'm a ghost."

Bai Xiaoqin's expression darkened. Humans and ghosts had different cultivation paths, but in the end, nothing good would come out of the union.

"So what? We're all cultivators. I don't care if you're human, ghost, demon, immortal, or Buddha. The important thing is that you are willing to cultivate seriously."

He is a more open-minded person. After all, he had died so many times. What was there not to be open-minded about?

Ads by Pubfuture

"Thank you."

Bai Xiaoqin was really touched this time. A living person would avoid her existence, let alone marry her.

"We're already on the same side. There's no need to thank me."

Song Shi shook his head, "You're only paid special attention to me because of the engagement, right?"

"Yes, you know that we women always stand by our man. Before we get married, we'll secretly understand our partner first."

Bai Xiaoqin nodded shyly. "When I heard that you're related to the Yao Moon Palace, a large cultivation sect. I originally thought that we wouldn't interact again. I didn't expect you to actually be pretending and even having a relationship with the Blood-Robed old ghost. When you came to save me, I deduced that you weren't the Blood-Robed old ghost."

"You're smart."

Song Shi praised her. To be able to deduce so much from such small clues, even if Bai Xiaoqin did not meet him, she should be able to go far on the path of cultivation.

"I can't compare to Young Master."

Bai Xiaoqin said humbly.

"I think there's no time like the present. Let's get married today. You won't mind if no one celebrates?"

Song Shi grabbed Bai Xiaoqin's hand with a wicked smile.

The latter said bashfully, "My family members have all been destroyed, and most of Young Master's family members have died. We just have to remember this ceremony ourselves."

"Understood!"

Song Shi carried Bai Xiaoqin and walked into the cave abode. He chuckled, "It's been a long time since I've touched a woman."

When Bai Xiaoqin heard this, she recalled that Song Shi often visited brothels. But she did not care much about it.

In this world, there were too many sons of big families who did such things. Even her father often went there.

As long as Song Shi did not let her down, she would turn a blind eye to this matter.

Of course, she still had to have an attitude. "Young Master, you have to dote on me more in the future. However, I'm a female ghost. I don't know if I'll hurt you."

"Hehe, it's just some Yang energy. There was a period of time when I was fine being sucked dry by another woman every day."

Song Shi chuckled.

Bai Xiaoqin said sourly, "That woman from the brothel called Liu Ruxue?"

"Are you jealous?"

"No, I'm just envious that she met you first, Young Master."

"I think you're jealous."

Song Shi smiled teasingly, "She's the first woman I've fallen in love with. You're the first female ghost I've slept with."

"Bad guy!"

Bai Xiaoqin punched Song Shi, embarrassed and angry.

"I could be worse."

Song Shi subconsciously took off his clothes and realized that Bai Xiaoqin was in a special state.

She had no physical clothes at all.

The latter understood his intentions. She lowered her head and took off her clothes herself.

Song Shi hugged Bai Xiaoqin's cold body and kissed her, "Others don't dare to come into contact with you ghosts. But since my Yang is so overtly domineering, I'm not afraid."

With that, he focused on his 'work'.

Song Shi experienced a unique feeling. After it ended, he looked at the blushing Bai Xiaoqin and returned to talking about business. "You were taken in as a disciple by that old bastard?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"Yes, Elder Wang did take me in as a disciple. Unfortunately, he has ulterior motives and wanted to nurture me to become stronger before selling me." Bai Xiaoqin was a little angry.

"Then you should have an identity token, right? Take it out and I'll transfer some contribution points to you."

Song Shi activated Bai Xiaoqin's token and transferred one hundred thousand contribution points to her.

"Young Master, this is too much. It's very difficult for even inner sect disciples to have so many contribution points."

Bai Xiaoqin was shocked.

"I have a pile of contribution points that I can't use up anyways. Help me use some. If you want to exchange for anything, exchange it for yourself."

Song Shi chuckled, "Also, I'll get Lu Jiu to arrange a better teacher for you. You won't be cultivating that old bastard anymore."

"Young Master, you're too good to me."

Bai Xiaoqin said happily.

"Since I have these resources, it would be a waste not to use them."

Song Shi shrugged and closed the cave abode, "Choose a room to cultivate in."

"Yeah, sure."

Bai Xiaoqin smiled and walked into a room, feeling exceptionally happy.

From today onwards, she had a home and was no longer a lonely ghost.

Song Shi came to the center of the cave abode and stabbed the golden spear into the ground, preparing to begin refining the Numinous artifacts.

"Blood-robed Elder."

Lu Jiu's voice came from outside. Song Shi frowned and walked out. When he saw Lu Youyou following behind, he said, "Sect Master, what's the matter? I'm preparing to enter seclusion to refine the Golden Dragon Spear."

"You don't want what you initially had?"

Lu Jiu took out a blood-colored belt and storage ring and threw them to Song Shi. "I've asked for most of the things back for you. The spirit tea is rather special. It's planted on the spirit soil and some tender tea has already grown. It's a little wasteful to dig it out now. I'll get Youyou to continue taking care of it. I'll give it to you when the tea leaves mature in a few years. How about that?"

"Oh, Miss Youyou has become a tea picker?" Song Shi teased.

"You said my mouth is foul but I don't think you're any better."

Lu Youyou snorted.

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore then."

Song Shi decisively stopped. Otherwise, he would have to argue with this woman again.

"I'll accept it. I'll also accept the Sect Master's high regard."

Song Shi nodded at Lu Jiu. This person had asked for most of his things back so quickly. He agreed with his intentions.

"We have no choice but to hurry up. In just a short while, the blood-robed elder actually went to the Spirit Land to cause trouble again."

Lu Jiu commented helplessly.

"It was just that there was a reason for this. Sect Master, don't worry. Usually, if there's nothing, I won't act rashly."

Song Shi grinned. No one knew if he was telling the truth.

"Since Elder Blood Robes isn't afraid of trouble, we have a matter that we need your help with."

Lu Jiu bluntly stated his request.

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to get my stuff back. Tell me, what is it and what time?"

Song Shi agreed helplessly. He raised his hand and pointed at the blood-colored belt. After checking it and confirming that there was no problem, the latter turned into a blood-colored light and tied itself around his waist.

"To participate in a conference and represent our Heavenly Ghost Sect. It will be held in half a year's time."

Lu Jiu explained the situation.

208 I Want You Guys to Teach Me How I should Do Things (1)

After listening to Lu Jiu's request, Song Shi seized the time to do his own thing.

Fifteen minutes later, in the cave abode.

He looked at the golden Spear in front of him with a serious expression on his young face.

"Let's start refining!"

He formed a seal with both hands and golden light flickered. Dharmic powers turned into runes and struck the Spear.

A buzzing sound appeared. The dragon scale-like patterns on the latter's surface emitted a dazzling light. Its aura was dignified and domineering, like a true dragon lying dormant.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Song Shi became lost in thoughts. The Nomological power in his hand began to flow into the array patterns on the spear, dispelling the residual power inside.

This power was left behind by Ye Wenzhong. Under his transfer of power, this ownerless power was expelled and dissipated unwillingly.

However, Spear was still very resistant to him.

"The so-called spirituality is very mysterious. I haven't even managed to communicate with it up till now, are you purposely ignoring me?"

Song Shi muttered. Dharma treasures that had spirits and were called Numinous artifacts.

Only by communicating with the spirituality of this Spear could he control it more easily.

He took out an ancient book to search for a guide.

This was the secret manual for refining Dharma treasures that he had just exchanged from the Scripture Depository of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

After flipping through it for a moment, he recited a strange incantation that sounded like the low cry of an evil spirit. Then, his mana transformed into a ghost head that opened its mouth and swallowed the golden spear.

The buzzing of the Spear gradually dissipated. His Dharmic powers began to invade the Spear's entire body through special methods, forcefully refining it.

According to his understanding, the array formation in the Numinous artifacts was probably equivalent to a system. The so-called spirituality was probably that the system had a certain level of intelligence.

Ads by Pubfuture

The ghost head he had created now was to use a special method to crack this system and control this intelligent authority.

As long as he controlled the authority, this weapon would naturally listen to him and follow his orders.

"The cultivation civilization of this world is far above the technological civilization!"

This was the first time he had come into contact with Numinous artifacts. This encounter could also be considered as further exposure to the secrets of this world's cultivation civilization.

As he began to crack the array formation patterns inside the Dharma treasures, his Dharmic powers quickly controlled a portion of the authority. His original resistance gradually weakened.

When his Dharmic powers entered the array formation core inside the Spear and began to circulate, the Spear responded with the fluctuations of the Nomological power in its body.

A huge devouring power surged over. The golden spear absorbed his Dharmic powers as a reserve energy source and the patterns became brighter and brighter.

Song Shi revealed a look of delight. This thing had absorbed his Dharmic powers, which meant that it had already accepted his control.

The process of absorbing Nomological power lasted for more than half a day. When the Nomological power in his body was completely absorbed, Song Shi had the illusion that this thing seemed to have become a part of his body.

With a thought, swoosh!

Golden light flashed, and the Spear flew up and circled around him.

After raising his hand, the Spear flew to his palm. A powerful Illuminate was released, creating a hole in the ground.

His Dharmic powers were also golden and complemented the Spear, making it even brighter.

"How Handsome!"

Song Shi happily waved it a few times. The flames danced, leaving a few scorching afterimages in the air.

The phantom of a dragon head appeared at the tip of the spear. It spewed out golden flames. With the augmentation of Dharma treasures, the Pure Yang Fire became even more domineering and scorching. It burned the air until it distorted violently.

The power of this power had definitely surpassed the flames condensed from his own Nomological power.

Combined with the attack of the spear itself, the power of a single spear strike was extremely terrifying.

"Nice Spear!"

Ads by Pubfuture

He sized up the Spear lovingly. He felt that this Spear was simply tailor-made for him. Its nature was especially compatible with his cultivation techniques, and it looked very domineering.

Holding this Spear, he could not help but feel heroic. With the Spear in his hand, he had the aura of holding back ten thousand men.

However, it only lasted for a moment. Song Shi's expression changed and his breathing became rapid.

A wave of weakness came from his body. All the Dharmic powers in his body had been sucked dry by this fellow. Other than his strength, he did not have any Dharmic powers at all.

"The energy consumption is really high!"

Song Shi came back to his senses and sighed.

In the end, his cultivation was still in the Golden Core realm. Dharma treasures of that level were usually only usable by Nascent Souls and Martial Emperors.

Even if his cultivation was deeper than those of the same level, he was still much weaker than a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"I have to condense the nine Golden Cores as soon as possible and increase the total amount of Nomological power. Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand the consumption of this thing."

Song Shi smiled bitterly. The Golden Dragon Spear was domineering and powerful, but it consumed a lot of Nomological power.

With his current cultivation, he would not be able to withstand it for long.

He flung his Spear and the latter shrunk rapidly. It shot into his Dantian and entered his Dantian space.

In this space, a golden bead was spinning. Due to the law of exhaustion, the light was dimming.

After the Spear arrived, it floated above his Golden Core unceremoniously and received the nourishment of Spirit Nomological power.

He could continue improving this item. If it gave birth to an artifact spirit in the future, it would be comparable to the stronger Numinous treasures.

Of course, this would take a long time to do so. It might not be as reliable as finding a Numinous treasure by itself.

After refining the Golden Dragon Spear, Song Shi flipped his hand and took out a black and white energy snake.

He had engraved sealing runes on the surface of the black side, but it was still difficult to hide its mysterious aura.

It contained pure energy. This energy came from the Essence, Qi, and spirit of a Golden Core cultivator. Although it was not all, it was the purest part.

209 I Want You Guys to Teach Me How I should Do Things (2)

"This thing isn't simple. If those guys from the Holy Gu Sect use this Gu to kill people and cultivate, the speed of improvement won't be bad."

Song Shi thought of some possibilities, dispersed the seal, and squeezed hard.

The black and white Gu transformed into a ray of light, like a Taoist Painting. Then, it condensed into a pillar of light that landed between his eyebrows and was quickly devoured and refined.

Song Shi's body trembled as he felt a pure power surge over.

This power was not directly absorbed by him. Instead, it was transformed by the Life and Death Gu in his body before being transmitted to him, making it extremely easy to refine.

"Good lord, this is even better than the medicinal elixirs!"

Song Shi was shocked. This was the first time he had absorbed and refined the power of the Life and Death Gu, and he had completely experienced all the benefits.

But at this moment, he also clearly sensed that the Life and Death Gu in its body was also growing.

"F*ck, this thing can also grow. In the future, it can devour other people's power. Can it also devour me?"

Song Shi was suspicious. He did not think that this thing was really here to help them improve only.

After all, this was a Gu worm. Others were also raising the same Gu worms.

When the people who planted these Gu wanted to harvest it, they could completely control the Gu worms to devour his essence, energy, and spirit.

"Go ahead. I'm really not afraid of you swallowing me. If you dare to swallow me, I'll kill you!"

Song Shi sneered in his heart and began to absorb and refine it in peace.

Now that the Dharmic powers consumed were quickly restored, his cultivation continued to increase.

Due to the abundant power contained in the Life and Death Gu, he obtained Nascent Soul cultivation experience after Ye Wenzhong failed to possess him.

Therefore, he did not have any bottlenecks to conquer from now to the Nascent Soul realm.

With a thought, a light flashed in his middle Dantian and the second golden core began to condense.

If the first Golden Core was a breakthrough in the realm and a qualitative change, then the second Golden Core was more of a quantitative change.

As long as he had enough resources, he could quickly condense other Golden Cores.

He had the Life and Death Gu of five Golden Core cultivators. After absorbing and refining them, they helped him condense two more Golden Cores.

This process only took him half a month. There was still a lot of time before the mission Lu Jiu gave him.

This time, Song Shi did not go out to cause trouble. He planned to use the contribution points of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to exchange for various spirit pills and medicines and begin his seclusion cultivation.

After leaving his cave abode, his first stop was the Heavenly Ghost Sect's Elixir Pavilion.

Seeing him, the expressions of everyone here changed drastically.

"Why is this guy here?!"

"The sect gave him more than a million contribution points. Once he comes, many of the medicinal pills here will be exchanged."

"Hurry up, or we might not be able to exchange for it later!"

The group of people discussed for a while and immediately seized the time to exchange for medicinal pills.

"Looks like I've become a famous person in the sect."

Song Shi chuckled and walked to the exchange window. He slammed the token on the table. "Exchange for everything I can exchange for now!"

Hearing Song Shi's words, everyone, who was already prepared, still had dark expressions.

Under normal circumstances, the resources that the sect could exchange for were provided according to everyone's general needs. It would not be too much or too little.

However, at some critical moments, such as when people with a large number of contribution points exchanged items for them at the same time, it would cause a drain of resources.

If there were too many people exchanging for resources, it would naturally be completely insufficient when others wanted to exchange for it.

This person had more than a million contribution points and was richer than any of the Supreme Elders. Once he starts to exchange crazily, they would probably face a situation where the supply could not meet the demand within ten years.

The face of the elder in charge of exchanging items twitched. "Blood-robed Elder, are you really exchanging everything? Some of the items are of lower grades and are useless to you."

"I like it. Can't I?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. "Cut the crap. Hurry up and exchange it for me!"

"Uh, alright. The upper limit that an individual can exchange for is 10% of the inventory. I'll exchange for you according to this ratio?"

The deacon elder asked.

"Change!"

Song Shi nodded.

An elder at the side couldn't stand it anymore and said unhappily, "Blood-robed Elder, don't you know what 10% of the inventory means? Our entire sect has more than ten thousand official disciples. Usually, there are at least three thousand people who come to exchange for resources on the regular. You're equivalent to directly occupying three hundred people's resource exchange slots. Moreover, this will affect all the outer sect, inner sect, core disciples and elders."

"What does it have to do with me? If you have so many contribution points, won't you exchange them like this too?"

Song Shi shrugged. He was not afraid of offending these guys.

In his opinion, these contribution points were just a bunch of numbers. At the very least, he had to obtain the items first first before they were of use to him.

Otherwise, what was the use of just a bunch of numbers?

If anything happened, he might have nothing left.

"You! Why don't you think of others at all?"

"That's right. Everyone's cultivation resources are already not abundant to begin with. Once you're done exchanging, we'll have to wait!"

"You're a Supreme Elder, so you should have the morals of a Supreme Elder."

Some people couldn't help but criticize. If they were just one or two people, they definitely wouldn't dare to speak like this. But now, there was a group of people with the same thoughts hence nobody was afraid to speak their mind.

"Did I ask you to teach me how to do things?"

Song Shi snorted coldly. A powerful aura erupted, immediately making some people shut their mouths.

However, some people were not frightened. They were either Core disciples or Core elders, and their cultivation levels were not much worse than his.

"Blood-robed Elder, are you trying to overwhelm us with your strength?"

Shi Tianya walked out of the door and questioned loudly, "To everyone present, you're just a newcomer. How can you be so arrogant the moment you arrive?"

A perfected Golden Core cultivator said earnestly, "Blood-robed elder, don't go overboard. You have to leave yourself a way out."

"If you have any objections, we can go out and talk about it!"

Song Shi glanced at the deacon who received him. "Don't just stand there. When I come back after talking to them, I hope that the things I want are ready!"

"Yes, Blood-robed Elder."

The deacon was sweating profusely as he replied. He was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, so how could he withstand Song Shi's powerful Aura? Naturally, he did not dare to offend him.

Song Shi sneered. "Come, come out if you want to teach me a lesson."

Many people's faces darkened.

What was wrong with him? They were just arguing. Who said that they were really going to fight?

They thought, " We were just complaining. Did you actually take it seriously?"

"This person is really rash. He actually really wanted to fight."

"I think he's just unwilling to accept everyone's opinion."

"Who would like such a person?"

Song Shi frowned when he heard that, "Don't f*cking hide in the dark while saying that. If you want to attack, come at me directly!"

Furious, Shi Tianya said to the figure beside him, "Senior Brother Luo, are you just going to watch him act arrogantly here?"

Beside Shi Tianya, a perfected Golden Core cultivator stepped out. He was thin and had dark skin, making him look like a monkey.

There was a flash of blood-red light in his eyes, and his aura was like a rainbow. "Blood-robed Elder, you've just become a Grand Supreme Elder. As your disciple, I really want to experience your power. Let's see what else a Grand Supreme Elder like you can do besides being good at escaping."

"Then I shall let you experience it!"

Song Shi chuckled and glanced at this person. He did not know who he was, but he was not surprised. After all, he had just arrived and there were many people he had not seen before.

He said, "Who are you? Tell me your name."

"Core disciple, Luo Chi!"

The latter replied coldly, "I happen to be exchanging for an especially important pill. If you know what's good for you, don't exchange."

"Then you'll have to beat me first!"

Song Shi took another look at this person.

He was clearly only at the Golden Core realm, but he actually gave him some pressure. It seemed that this person was indeed not simple.

He took a step forward, leaving behind an afterimage. He had already arrived outside.

Luo Chi followed closely behind.

"Senior Brother Luo has made his move. I wonder if he can teach this person a lesson."

"I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to teach him a lesson. I heard that this person fought with the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor in the Netherworld."

"Have you forgotten that Senior Brother Luo once killed a Nascent Soul cultivator? His combat strength is very powerful."

The group of people followed excitedly.

One was akin to a dragon while the other was a fierce snake.

It would soon be clear who was stronger.

If Luo Chi could win, this person probably wouldn't dare to be too arrogant in the future.

If he lost, they would suffer in the future.

Song Shi came outside and saw that Luo Chi's eyes were red and his aura was strange. There was a faint sense of oppression.

He looked thoughtful.

This fellow should also have a special bloodline.

210 Seven Strike Divine Body: You Used Your Ultimate Technique As Soon As You Arrived?

"New Grand Supreme elder, I won't bully you. Let me tell you. I have the Seven Strike Divine Body. You will definitely bleed when I attack. Be mentally prepared. Don't say that I'm too heavy-handed."

The killing intent in Luo Chi's body surged like a tide, and the color of the world seemed to have changed for a moment.

Quite a few people's faces were filled with fear, as they backed up, unable to endure this type of terrifying killing intent.

Song Shi took another look.

He had heard of this Physique before. It was a natural body meant for killing. It was similar to a Sword Dao Physique like the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, and its attack power was very powerful.

Clang!

Amidst the ear-piercing sword hum, a long red sword appeared in Luo Chi's hand, as if it was forged from blood.

His eyes were blood-red, and his entire body was filled with killing intent mixed with sharp sword qi. It formed a special Aura as he charged towards Song Shi.

The tsunami-like aura caused the air to buzz, but when it hit Song Shi, it was like hitting a reef. After shattering, it diverged to both sides, cutting and shattering the trees behind it.

After the Aura attack passed, sword marks appeared on the protective golden light that Song Shi released.

He observed Luo Chi in surprise. This was the first time a portion of the barrier released by his high-grade Spirit Body had been broken by someone's Aura.

This person's combat strength was indeed powerful. Before he even attacked, he already felt pressured.

At this moment, the latter vaguely transformed into a blood-colored human-shaped sword with full offensive power.

"Hehe, the blood-robed elder's skin looks quite thick. It'll definitely feel good when I break it later!"

Swoosh!

He drew his sword.

Blood light filled the sky and everyone's vision blurred.

A blood-colored meteor streaked across the sky and suddenly shot out. The extreme sharpness stabbed towards Song Shi's glabella.

Clang!

The blood light sped up and flew out, smashing into a rock and finally collapsing the wall opposite.

Luo Chi, who had fallen into it, spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the sword in his hand in confusion.

His intrinsic Dharma treasure actually was scarred.

Song Shi held a golden Spear in his hand and a powerful force spread out. Within a radius of a thousand feet, heat waves surged and the air distorted.

When Luo Chi saw this, he spat out another mouthful of blood and said angrily, "How can you use Numinous artifacts!"

Song Shi had obtained Ye Wenzhong's Golden Dragon Spear. This was something that all the Elite core members of the Heavenly Ghost Sect knew.

However, he did not expect Song Shi to use Numinous artifacts to clash with him.

Wasn't this equivalent to unleashing a big move as soon as he arrived?

'Is that how you play?'

The moment he arrived, he used his ultimate move. However, the difference in their cultivation levels was not too big. How could he win?

"Is there a problem?"

Song Shi found it strange. He brandished his Spear and left a deep mark on the ground. Even the floor had melted.

He sized it up lovingly and nodded in satisfaction. "I happened to feel like testing the power of my Numinous artifacts. It looks like they're indeed not bad."

In Ye Wenzhong's hands, this Spear only had a sharp edge, but he had enhanced it with his Yang flames, increasing its destructive power greatly.

"You're actually testing the power of the Numinous artifact now?"

Luo Chi was so angry that his liver hurt. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He wanted to attack again, but he realized that his injuries were very serious.

If he attacked again, his combat strength would be greatly reduced.

However, the other party's Spear burned with energy that made him tremble in fear. Even if it could not last for long, it was still a huge threat to him.

"I'm not fighting anymore. Who would use Numinous artifacts to bully others?"

He suddenly changed his words and turned to leave while cursing.

Numinous artifacts were far stronger than ordinary Dharma treasures, and this fellow's body and Nomological power were also very powerful.

As someone who had experienced hundreds of battles, how could he not see that his chances of winning were very low if he continued to fight? He might as well use this legitimate reason to end it directly. Then the other party would not say anything about him.

"This guy really knows how to adapt to the situation."

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. The Second Master Lu he killed was nothing compared to this person.

"What a pity. If you fight now, you still have the highest chance of winning. In the future…"

He shook his head inwardly. Not to mention a year, even if he did not use Numinous artifacts in half a year's time, he was confident that he could defeat this fellow.

"This elder is really bullying people."

"That's right. He injured Senior Brother Luo with his Numinous artifacts the moment he arrived. He was afraid that he would lose if he fought normally."

"If not for the Numinous artifacts, I think he would be doomed."

Some people felt indignant for Luo Chi and despised Song Shi even more for deliberately bullying others.

"Damn it, what's going on? He was not even a human when he fought with me!"

Song Shi's expression was ugly as he complained. He could not be bothered with these guys and turned around to return to the Elixir Chamber.

He raised his Spear impatiently and questioned, "Are you ready?"

The golden flames caused the temperature in the attic to rise rapidly. The latter sweated profusely and retreated to the edge of the counter. He said fearfully, "Right away. I'm packaging your items now."

"Hurry up."

Song Shi kept his Spear and glanced at the person at the door, "If you lack resources in the future, you can come to me to buy them."

The Medicine Pavilion's deacons staggered and were almost struck by the lightning that followed Song Shi.

Their expressions were strange and they could not calm down. They looked at Song Shi speechlessly.

Are you kidding me? Is that why you deliberately exchanged for so many things? Are you trying to snatch our business?

Song Shi enjoyed the gazes of these people who wanted to beat him up but did not dare to do so. He crossed his arms and said, "I can still borrow contribution points to anyone here as long as they return them on time."

Quite a few people rolled their eyes. How was there such a shameless person?

Song Shi's expression did not change even after angering everyone. He waited for the warden to prepare his items, picked them up and left.

Then, he went to the other resources department to exchange for a large number of talismans, Dharma treasures, cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

He definitely could not use so many of them himself. He was purely exchanging contribution points for physical items.

With Luo Chi's lesson, no one dared to stop him openly. At most, they would use their mouths to criticize him in private.

After exchanging all the items he could exchange for this month, Song Shi returned to his cave abode and threw a pile of storage bags and rings to Bai Xiaoqin.

"My fair lady, keep these. After sorting them out, make a list and post a notice at the entrance of the cave abode. 'We welcome the elders and disciples to exchange for them'."

Song Shi chuckled.

"Young Master, are you opening a trading company?" Bai Xiaoqin looked at the storage bags on the ground in a daze.

"That's about right. Also, add another sentence. I can give you contribution points on credit. You'll be charged 5% for monthly interest."

Song Shi nodded. He would definitely have to spend some effort to deal with the mid- to low-end resources he had obtained. Otherwise, it would indeed be a waste to keep them on him.

Contribution points could also be used to expand his resource pool. For example, it could be used to generate more contribution points so that it would not depreciate.

"Can I… do it?"

Bai Xiaoqin was nervous.

"Sure."

Song Shi grabbed Bai Xiaoqin's hand. "Deal with these when you're resting. Cultivate first. If there are any problems, I'll deal with them."

"I'll try my best."

Bai Xiaoqin smiled. Since Song Shi trusted her so much, she should not be afraid.

"Go. The disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect are all very enthusiastic."

Song Shi patted Bai Xiaoqin's shoulder and went to cultivate with the resources he could use.

There were too many types of resources and there were also many raw materials, such as various ores, metals, and medicinal herbs.

While Song Shi was cultivating, he began to fiddle with these raw materials.

He had obtained the Treasure Refining Manual and there were many manuals on weapon refinement in the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
