Chapter 1

In the large wooden bathtub, Xia Wuji opened his misty eyes.

The water in the bathtub was already cold, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He just gently sniffed.

His nose was filled with the faint scent of medicinal herbs.

A medicinal bath …

But why was there such a cold aura?

This cold aura cleared his mind and his eyes quickly brightened.

What greeted his eyes was a beautiful face.

Her face was very white, her hair was very long, and her lips were very red.

A woman?

Xia Wuji was stunned.

Last night, he drank too much with a few classmates. It was raining heavily outside, and he remembered that he was drunk and passed out in the rain.

After that, he didn't remember anything.

Which brother was it that sent me here? They actually found me such a hotel.

And, this treatment … was too good.

There was actually a woman here …

Looking up at this delicate face, he found that her eyes were very dark …

But, there seemed to be no pupils.

Xia Wuji's heart trembled for no reason.

He suddenly found that there was no color on her pale face, and two drops of red blood were gradually flowing from the corners of her eyes.

The cold aura was coming from her body.

Damn, this wasn't Dabao!

It was a female ghost!

The female ghost was wearing a thin veil, and her body was leaning towards him. Her delicate face was gradually approaching him, revealing a large area of her snow-white chest.

Xia Wuji's scalp went numb, and he didn't care about her snow-white chest. Almost without any hesitation, he instinctively punched.

Bang!

This straight punch smashed into the female ghost's face.

The hurried but powerful punch directly smashed the female ghost's beautiful face, turning it into black smoke.

The black smoke quickly reformed into the appearance of the beautiful female ghost.

Seemingly angered by Xia Wuji's merciless punch, the beautiful female ghost flew into a rage. Her face was ferocious, and she bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she rushed towards him.

However, it crashed into his body and disappeared.

Xia Wuji was shocked.

Carefully feeling his body, he didn't find anything strange, nor did he feel cold.

Looking around in the bathtub, he didn't find anything.

Could it be … that it was just an illusion?

That's right, it's the 21st century now, how could there be ghosts?

After drinking, it was easy for him to become muddle-headed. He even had hallucinations and saw a beautiful female ghost.

Xia Wuji seriously suspected that the wine he drank last night was fake.

Now that he thought about it, the price of soy sauce wine was going crazy. Even the hotel owners kept it for themselves. How could they still drink the real thing?

He shook his head, as if that would make him more clear-headed.

He turned his head and looked around. He was surprised to find that he was in an antique room.

Dark red sandalwood flooring, exquisite landscape screens, dark red wooden tables and chairs, and even the lamps placed on the tables were antique and emitted a soft glow.

All of this made it easy for people to calm down.

Xia Wuji nodded to himself.

This kind of decoration style was to his liking.

He stood up from the bucket, completely naked.

Taking a step out, he stepped on the soft towel on the ground and wiped off the water on his feet. Then, he walked barefoot on the floor paved with sandalwood.

Although there weren't many things placed here, each of them exuded a rich ancient aura. The carvings on the tables and chairs were extremely exquisite.

Especially the material of these tables and chairs.

Xia Wuji touched them.

Good heavens!

The tables and chairs here were all made of precious Phoebe zhennan wood.

This kind of decorated room should cost a lot of money for a night. It's too extravagant! This probably isn't a five-star hotel …

Which classmate is so generous?

However, when he walked in front of a mirror, he was suddenly stunned.

Xia Wuji stared at the person in the mirror in a daze.

A completely unfamiliar yet strangely familiar young man.

He had a head of black hair, healthy and lustrous skin. His chest, abs, and biceps were bulging. His whole body was smooth.

Especially that face, so handsome!

And that big guy …

Is this me?

He waved his hand. The handsome person in the mirror also waved his hand.

Ah … is this really me?

How is this possible? How can I become so handsome …

At this moment, a strange memory gate suddenly opened. A torrent of memories forcefully entered his mind and quickly surged …

Xia Wuji, a native of Blue Moon City, 18 years old this year.

His father, Xia Yunxiao, was an outer sect disciple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, Qing Xuan Pavilion. Because of his limited spiritual roots, he could only cultivate to Mortal Realm Stage Seven.

After his cultivation stagnated, he left the sect and returned to Blue Moon City to marry and have children. He began to live a peaceful life.

In these years, he had bought a lot of property in the city and lived a good life.

However, he suddenly disappeared a year ago. There was no news of him since then.

Three months ago, Blue Moon City began to be haunted. Almost all of them were female ghosts. All kinds of vengeful spirits, evil spirits, and evil spirits filled the city. It was as if the gates of hell were opened.

Even his mother, Lin Ru, a Mortal Realm Stage Three cultivator, had her soul eaten by evil spirits a month ago and suddenly died.

It was said that if it weren't for the fairies of the Fairy Pavilion, Blue Moon City would have become a ghost town.

Even so, there were still many ghosts in Blue Moon City. They were endless.

Now, there were only three people left in the house. He and two servants.

The two servants were brother and sister. One was called Xia Hu and the other was called Qiu Yue.

A few days ago, Qiu Yue was also haunted by evil spirits and still hasn't woken up …

After a while, Xia Wuji cursed, "Damn it, I actually transmigrated!"

In other words, the female ghost just now was real!

Xia Wuji, who had always been careless, didn't have any objections to transmigrating. After all, he had transmigrated into a rich second generation immortal.

It didn't take long for him to accept the fact.

However, what made Xia Wuji's balls hurt was that although his parents were only in the Mortal Realm and their cultivation wasn't high, they were still cultivators. However, as the son of two cultivators, he didn't have a spirit root.

Even if he didn't have a spirit root of the lowest quality.

Without a spirit root, he couldn't cultivate.

In the cultivation world, if he couldn't cultivate, he was destined to be at the bottom of society for the rest of his life.

The cultivation world looked beautiful. Not only could one cultivate the path to immortality, but it was also said that the fairies flying around were all very beautiful.

However, this world was actually very dangerous.

There were immortals in this world, but there were also demons, ghosts, devils, and monsters.

If a normal person didn't have the protection of an immortal, it was very dangerous.

Since he couldn't cultivate, he could only practice martial arts.

Although practicing martial arts wouldn't make him immortal, and although he couldn't fly, he could at least protect himself in this secular world. At least he wouldn't be completely helpless when facing monsters and ghosts.

Unfortunately, his predecessor's talent in martial arts was also very poor.

Even Xia Wuji himself felt that after so many years of his parents' countless resources, even if they were piled up on a pig, the pig would have become a martial artist or even stepped into the Body Completion Realm.

However, he was already 18 years old and had only reached the third level of the Mortal Realm.

In other words, he was worse than a pig.

Martial arts and cultivation systems were different.

The cultivation realms were divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Jin Dan, Nascent Soul, Astral Projection, Soul Formation, Combination, Tribulation Passing, and Mahayana.

Other than the Mortal Realm, which was divided into 12 levels, the rest were the beginning, middle, late, and peak.

After cultivating to the Mahayana realm, one could ascend and become a true immortal, as long as the heavens and earth.

However, martial arts only had postnatal and connate levels.

The postnatal levels were divided into: Qi Refinement, Bone Tempering, Viscera Refining, and Body Completion. Each level had nine levels.

Only after reaching the Body Completion Realm would one have a chance to pry into the Heavenly Dao and break through to the connate level.

The postnatal level was equivalent to the Mortal Realm of cultivation, and the connate level was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm of cultivation.

As for the levels above the connate level, that was a legend. Basically, no one had set foot there.

The difficulty of martial arts could be seen from this.

Xia Wuji took a long time to digest the information in his mind.

He was so angry that he wanted to curse, unable to cultivate after transmigrating to the world of cultivation. He couldn't even practice martial arts.

After a moment of silence, Xia Wuji asked carefully, "System?"

"System … System Daddy?"

"System Grandpa, come out."

The room was silent.

There was no system!

Xia Wuji's heart sank.

As a transmigrator, how could he survive without a system?

Even if he couldn't cultivate, he didn't have to worry about food and water.

Other than the manor with three entrances and three exits, there were 26 other shops in Blue Moon City's most prosperous Fairy Street.

It could be said that if he was an ordinary person, Xia Wuji's life would be pretty good.

However, reality wasn't so simple.

Xia Wuji knew very well that in this world of cultivation where the strong preyed on the weak, if one didn't have strength, not only would their life be hard to guarantee, their family property would eventually belong to someone else.

Even the beautiful little Qiu Yue at home would eventually belong to someone else.

Chapter 2

Blue Moon City, Liu family.

Liu Xun, who was on the night shift, returned home before dawn. He was ready to take a hot bath and sleep while hugging his beautiful wife.

"Young Master, why are you so early today?"

Liu Xun's butler, Liu Xun, had already gotten up and dressed. He took the cloak and armor that Liu Xun took off and said.

"Don't mention it. I'm so tired from this night. Seven streets were haunted in the second half of the night. Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary ghost, but a Ghost Demon. If it wasn't for the Immortals from Sky Eagle Pavilion, the city guards would have suffered heavy casualties tonight."

Liu Xun said with a tired face.

"As the commander, I had to accompany those Immortals everywhere. I also had to command my subordinates to set up a formation to prevent the Ghost Demon from escaping."

"Ghost Demon!" Liu Shouren's heart trembled.

It was said that Ghost Demons were scarier than vengeful spirits and evil ghosts. They could really eat people. Not only did they eat people's souls, but they also ate their flesh.

"What happened after that?"

Liu Shouren asked uneasily.

"Later on, the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion mobilized seven Immortals at once. Even the Celestial Maiden Pavilion mobilized three Immortals. Only then was the Ghost Fiend suppressed. The other Ghost Fiends seemed to know fear and they all hid and disappeared."

Liu Xun said, "After a tiring night, I took advantage of the fact that it was time to change shifts. I didn't stay at the City Lord's Mansion and came back early."

"Oh right, when can we take down the 26 storefronts on Fairy Street?"

The Liu family wasn't a big family. In Blue Moon City, they couldn't compare to the Chen, Wang, Han, Xiao, and other big families in terms of power, property, or heritage.

However, ever since Miss Liu Chan was betrothed to the City Lord as a concubine last year, the Liu family's status in Blue Moon City had risen. They were now comparable to the big traditional families.

However, the Liu family knew that they were still a small family. They couldn't keep up with the big families.

Therefore, the Liu family had always been very interested in expanding their territory and real estate.

The Liu family had long been interested in Xia family's 26 storefronts on Fairy Street. If he could obtain it, it would play an immeasurable role in increasing the Liu family's influence in Blue Moon City.

"I talked to that kid from the Xia family yesterday, but he didn't agree. He just said that he can't make the decision and that he should wait for his father to come back before making a decision."

Liu Shouren said.

"His father?" Liu Xun snorted. "Xia Chenxiao has been missing for a year. He's probably dead. Otherwise, how could he not come back when his wife, Lin Ru, is dead?"

"Then, Eldest Young Master, how do you think we should handle this matter? You want to use force? "

Liu Shouren pondered for a moment and asked.

Liu Xun pondered for a moment and said, "No need. Recently, several other families have been eyeing the Xia family's shops covetously. If we directly use force, it will give them something to use against us. That's not good."

"How about this, I'll take a break in the morning. In the afternoon, help me invite him to the Blue Moon Restaurant and tell him that I have something to discuss with him. I'll handle this matter personally. "

"Yes, Eldest Young Master."

Liu Shouren replied.

He couldn't help but feel pity for that kid from the Xia family.

It was conceivable that if it was confirmed that Xia Chenxiao was really dead, then it would only be a matter of time before the Xia family's property was seized.

The kid from the Xia family was probably destined to become a pauper in the future, and it was even possible that he would be secretly killed.

After all, no one wanted this kind of robbery to be exposed in the future.

With Liu Xun's character, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, it was necessary to eliminate the source of trouble.

To some extent, the history of the family's struggle was also a bloody history of fighting and scheming, and even the shadows of swords and sabers.

…

Xia Mansion.

After receiving the information from his predecessor, Xia Wuji frowned slightly and thought to himself, "My parents are both cultivators, and my family has encountered such a disaster. However, there are so many ordinary people in Blue Moon City who are fine. This is too strange …"

It was just that he had no clue about this at the moment.

He was also a little anxious about the current situation.

"This world is so dangerous. How can I survive without a system? If it doesn't work, a ring grandpa will do. "

However, his hands were empty. Not to mention a ring, he didn't have anything. How could there be a grandpa?

"Eh? Grandpa with a ring … "

He suddenly thought of the Blood Dragon Jade that had been hanging around his neck.

The Blood Dragon Jade had the effect of refreshing the mind and strengthening the blood. That piece of jade had always been worn by his father. Later, it was given to him when he officially started practicing martial arts at the age of ten. Since then, he had always worn it and never taken it off.

Xia Wuji immediately touched it and found that it wasn't around his neck.

It must have fallen into the bathtub.

As a transmigrator, Xia Wuji knew very well that it was definitely a treasure.

Moreover, this kind of treasure usually had to be dripped with blood to show its effect.

The protagonist's nails would dig into his flesh when he was angry, and his blood would flow into the jade pendant. Then, a golden finger or an old grandpa would appear.

This was an old trick, and he understood it.

Then, he hurriedly rushed to the side of the bathtub. Indeed, there was a piece of Blood Jade that emitted a faint red light under the water.

It was half the size of his palm.

He scooped it out and wiped it with a towel on the towel rack next to him.

The Blood Dragon Jade was as bright as new, and there was a faint lifelike Blood Dragon inside.

It was indeed a good treasure!

Xia Wuji's face lit up.

Looking at this Blood Dragon, it obviously needed blood to make it recognize its master.

His predecessor was really an idiot. He had worn this thing for eight years and still didn't know how to use it.

Xia Wuji was a little excited. He didn't even put on his clothes and ran directly to the weapon rack naked.

After all, no one would see him in his room.

There were no knives or daggers in the room. There was only his thick-backed machete on the weapon rack.

In order to make the Grandpa with a ring appear, Xia Wuji didn't hesitate to wipe his finger on the sharp blade of the machete. Immediately, blood flowed out.

"Hiss … The cut is too big."

Xia Wuji grimaced in pain.

He hurriedly smeared the blood on the Blood Dragon Jade and muttered, "Quick, absorb it. Don't waste it. Absorb it and quickly recognize it as your master."

Unexpectedly, the Blood Dragon Jade that he had placed his hopes on didn't react at all.

"Is there not enough blood? That doesn't make sense. It's almost a small bowl of blood. "

He waved his hand, and all the blood flowed out from the Blood Dragon Jade. It didn't absorb a single drop.

Xia Wuji's face slowly darkened.

"Damn it, it's useless! I've worn it for eight years. It can't help my predecessor improve his cultivation, and there's no Grandpa with a ring. What's the point of keeping you? "

He threw the Blood Dragon Jade on the ground and turned to take the machete from the weapon rack.

He didn't care if this was a souvenir left by his cheap parents. He only knew that this thing was useless.

Since it was useless, what was the point of keeping it?

This thing might be worth some money, but as a second-generation immortal, was he someone who lacked money?

What he lacked was a cheat!

Xia Wuji angrily slashed at the Blood Dragon Jade.

Crack!

The Blood Dragon Jade shattered.

A majestic blood aura surged out from the Blood Dragon Jade. The blood aura spiraled and turned into a dragon, flying away with the wind.

But at this moment, something seemed to have awakened in his chest and absorbed the blood aura that was about to turn into a dragon.

…

Qing Xuan Mountain.

The immortal cultivation sect Qing Xuan Pavilion was located here.

In a secret room at the back of the mountain, Daoist Yu Yuan, who was cultivating, suddenly shuddered. He spat out a mouthful of black gas and his expression instantly became dispirited.

His expression was uncertain.

"Who broke my Immortal Gu?"

The Immortal Gu was a secret method he obtained from a historical remnant decades ago. It could nourish the Jade Soul Blood Dragon by extracting the essence, energy, and spirit of the person who raised the Gu.

Eventually, he could forcefully break through by fusing with the Jade Soul Blood Dragon and step into the Jin Dan Great Dao.

With his current soul strength, he could nurture three Immortal Gu at most.

The Immortal Gu were connected to his soul. If one was damaged, the other would be damaged.

To think that one of the Immortal Gu was broken, causing his soul to fall from the peak of Foundation Establishment realm.

He would need at least three years to recover.

But with soul type spirit medicines and precious pills, he could recover quickly.

Daoist Yu Yuan took out a black pill with a pained expression.

Rank three Soul Nourishing Pill, a sacred item that nourished the soul.

"I want to see who broke my Immortal Gu!"

Daoist Yu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the Soul Nourishing Pill, then entered cultivation.

…

At this moment, Xia Wuji's vision turned black and he suddenly entered a space filled with black fog.

Following his arrival, the black fog dispersed and revealed a grey cylindrical space. It was about twenty meters in diameter and twenty-five to twenty-six meters tall.

The ground was black and there was a thin layer of black fog flowing slowly.

In the middle of the space, a black square cauldron stood there. It was about three meters tall and had no ears or legs. It was just embedded in the ground.

In the black cauldron, there was a lump of blood-colored gas.

Around the space stood nine huge grey doors about ten meters tall and five meters wide. There was black fog between the doors and they were not connected to each other.

What was this place?

Xia Wuji stared blankly.

Looking at the earless cauldron, he wanted to go forward and touch it, but he was blocked by an invisible force and could not touch it.

He could only stand in this small space.

At this moment, one of the nine doors suddenly lit up and turned from grey to white. Immediately after, the other doors also lit up. The nine doors kept flashing.

Finally, it stopped at one door and the other doors returned to grey.

Xia Wuji vaguely heard a shrill scream.

He blinked his eyes, looking stunned.

What was this?

Lottery?

But what was with that faint scream?

As a door lit up, a message appeared in his mind.

"Spirit Splitting Technique? Ghost King Clone? "

Xia Wuji was stunned.

Then he was overjoyed.

"It's actually the Ghost King Clone!"

According to his memories, the legendary powerful Ghost King was something that even Jin Dan realm ancestors could not contend against.

"Damn! I'm rich! "

With the Ghost King Clone, even the weakest Ghost King could do whatever he wanted in Blue Moon City. Even the entire Feng Yuan County would not dare to offend him.

The next moment, a detailed message regarding the clone entered his mind.

Chapter 3

As he understood the information, Xia Wuji's joyful expression froze.

According to the information, the Ghost King could not fight at the moment. It could only be used to intimidate others.

The Ghost King's clone could only intimidate others?

"Intimidate my foot. I only believe in my fists!"

Xia Wuji was frustrated.

At that moment, the blood-colored dragon in the black cauldron disappeared quietly and turned into a green airflow.

A few lines of words appeared in front of Xia Wuji's eyes.

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Tiger Skill]

[Realm: Level Three Qi and Blood Realm (Upgradeable)]

[Martial Technique: Tiger Fist]

[Realm: Level One (Upgradeable)]

[Saber Technique: Tiger Saber Technique]

[Realm: Level One (Upgradeable)]

[First clone: Ghost King (Ghost body not condensed. Ghost realm can be formed after condensation)]

[Materials required for condensation: Ghost blood, Yin Corpse Water, Soul-breaking Grass]

[Ability: Intimidate (Pull the other party into the ghost realm and intimidate them mentally. If it is a ghost or vengeful spirit, it will be devoured by the Ghost King and increase the Ghost King's cultivation)]

Looking at the words, Xia Wuji let out a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"I knew it. As a transmigrator, how could I not have a cheat?"

He glanced through a few lines at a time. Then, he fixed his gaze on the Cultivation Realm.

Realm was the most important thing for any cultivator.

Xia Wuji was all too familiar with the Dragon Tiger Skill that he had been cultivating for eight years.

The cultivation of the Qi and Blood Realm was mainly about the Dragon Tiger Stance.

The specific stance was: Straighten the back, close the legs and bend the body. The aura was like a dragon or a tiger. Place the hands between the waist and the kidneys. Inhale like a dragon and exhale like a tiger. Start breathing according to the unique frequency of the Dragon Tiger Skill. The chest rose and fell, activating the Qi and blood of the entire body.

That was the specific stance of the Dragon Tiger Stance.

However, Xia Wuji did not need it now.

He reached out and tapped on the 'upgradeable' behind the realm.

The cultivation that had been dormant for three years suddenly broke through.

Instantly, a majestic Qi and blood force emerged in his body.

Level Four Qi and Blood Realm!

The green airflow in the black cauldron decreased immediately, but there was still a lot.

"I see!"

Xia Wuji's eyes lit up.

Then, he began to click continuously.

Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade …

Fifth level of the Blood Qi realm … Sixth level … Seventh level … Eighth level … Ninth level!

Surges of majestic Qi and blood energy rampaged within his body, causing his strength to skyrocket.

His predecessor had used eight years to cultivate to the third level of the Qi and Blood realm, but he had advanced from the third level to the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm in a short period of time.

Xia Wuji felt great about the feeling of having no bottlenecks in his cultivation!

Next was the Bone Tempering Stage.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Xia Wuji was just about to click on the 'upgrade' button when he realized that the 'upgradeable' button behind the Nine Heavens had disappeared.

Unable to improve?

Xia Wuji was slightly taken aback.

He recalled Dragon Tiger Skill and came to a realization.

According to the introduction of the 'Dragon Tiger Skill', once one reached the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm, they would have to settle down for a period of time.

Only when one's Qi and blood reached the level where they could move and breathe with a single thought could they break through to the next level — the Bone Honing realm. Otherwise, the raging Qi and blood could easily harm one's foundation when tempering one's muscles and bones.

Now that he had broken through consecutively, his Qi and blood were still raging. He was still far from reaching the level where he could move and breathe with a single thought.

Since he could not improve his realm for now, he would improve his martial arts. There was still some green airflow in the black cauldron.

At this moment, he realized that the martial arts and saber techniques were actually the same move, 'Ferocious Tiger Descends the Mountain' and 'Ferocious Tiger Swings Its Tail'. The only difference was that one used fists while the other used a saber.

Both techniques were similar. The advantage was that once one was mastered, the other would be easier to learn and master.

The disadvantage was that the techniques were monotonous and did not have many variations.

However, to Xia Wuji, it did not matter if the techniques were monotonous or varied. At his current level, it was fine as long as they were powerful enough.

As the saying went, 'Quality over quantity.'

Just as he was about to improve his Ferocious Tiger Fist …

Knock, knock, knock.

The knocking on the door woke him up, and he immediately retreated from this space.

He realized that he was still carrying the heavy, thick-backed machete. It was obvious that it was only his consciousness that had entered that space.

"Who is it?"

"Young Master, it's me."

The person outside the door said.

Xia Wuji, who had merged with the memories of his predecessor, immediately recognized that it was Xia Hu.

Xia Hu was one year younger than him. He was seventeen years old this year and practiced martial arts like him. Now that he had reached the fifth level of the Bone Tempering Realm, he was much stronger than this young master.

However, this was only temporary.

There was still a lot of green airflow in the black cauldron. If he used all of it to improve his cultivation, surpassing Xia Hu would be a matter of minutes.

What was the Big Tiger doing here in the middle of the night?

Xia Wuji turned to look at the window and found that a ray of sunlight was penetrating the room through the same dark red window lattice.

It made the room much brighter than before.

Only then did he realize that it was already dawn.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Wuji frowned slightly.

No matter what, disturbing his cultivation made him a little unhappy.

"Young Master, I'm afraid my sister won't make it."

Xia Hu said anxiously outside.

What!

Little Qiuyue won't make it?

Little Qiuyue's beautiful face with big eyes flashed in Xia Wuji's mind.

"You go first, I'll be right there!"

He said immediately.

"Yes, Young Master."

Tap, tap, tap … The sound of hurried footsteps faded away.

Xia Wuji immediately put on his clothes, then opened the door and rushed out.

His cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm made him extremely fast. He was like a gust of wind, passing through the hall. Soon, he arrived at Qiuyue's room.

At this moment, Xia Hu was inside.

Although Xia Hu had been in the Xia family for ten years, that was only in his predecessor's memories.

In reality, this was the first time Xia Wuji saw Xia Hu after he transmigrated.

The seventeen-year-old Xia Hu was dressed in black. He was two meters tall, muscular like a tower, and his head was shiny. He was a bald, muscular man.

"Young Master, I'm afraid my sister won't be able to come back …"

At the mention of his sister, the seventeen-year-old "towering man"'s eyes turned red.

Xia Wuji immediately turned his gaze to Qiuyue who was lying on the bed.

Qiuyue was fifteen years old this year. She was quite pretty, with thin, curved eyebrows. She was not even 1.6 meters tall, and could be considered petite.

Could these two be siblings?

Xia Wuji could not connect the petite Qiuyue with the two-meter-tall towering man like Xia Hu.

At this moment, Qiuyue's face was gloomy, and there was some black gas lingering around her body. Her body was cold and eerie.

She was indeed possessed by a ghost!

Xia Wuji, who had the Ghost King's clone, knew at a glance.

He could even faintly see the female ghost lying in Qiuyue's body.

"What should I do?"

Xia Wuji frowned.

Although he knew that Qiuyue was possessed, he was not an immortal cultivator and did not know how to exorcise ghosts.

"It's said that ghosts are afraid of powerful Qi and blood. I wonder if using powerful Qi and blood will work …"

However, when he saw Xia Hu whose Qi and blood were even more powerful, he immediately knew that it was probably useless.

This blockhead had probably used it a long time ago and came to him because it was useless.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, he still had to try.

After all, he couldn't just stand by and watch them die without doing anything.

The little girl was so pretty. It would be a pity if she died.

Xia Wuji stepped forward and placed his hand on Qiuyue's hand.

Her small hands were cold but soft.

Just as he was about to activate the Qi and blood in his body, he suddenly had a thought.

He realized that the black gas on Qiuyue's hand was being sucked away by him.

Strictly speaking, it was being sucked away by the Ghost King's clone that had yet to condense a ghost body.

"So this Ghost King's clone that only has the ability to intimidate is not completely useless. Even without condensing a ghost body, it has a strong restraining effect on ghosts!"

Xia Wuji was overjoyed.

He looked up and down and realized that most of the black gas was on Qiuyue's chest.

Xia Wuji blinked. Then, his sinful hands reached toward Qiuyue's chest …

Chapter 4

It was soft to the touch. The girl's soft skin was very elastic.

Of course, Xia Wuji was sure that his mind was not on the touch of the girl's hand.

Wisps of black gas quickly entered his body through his palm.

"Young Master, no!"

Seeing the black gas spreading to Xia Wuji's body, Xia Hu was shocked and quickly went to stop it.

For Xia Hu, his sister was a part of his life, but his young master was his everything.

Without his young master, he and his sister would have died ten years ago.

They were pulled out from a pile of corpses by their young master. In the end, he took them in and gave them the names of Xia Hu and Xia Qiuyue.

"Go away, don't delay me from saving her."

Seeing Xia Hu reach out to grab them, Xia Wuji immediately said.

"Ah? Young Master, she can still be saved? "

Xia Hu's big hand was suspended in the air and his eyes were wide open.

He thought that his sister would definitely die. He did not expect that his young master could save her.

This made Xia Hu very happy.

As for his sister being taken advantage of by his young master, that was not a big deal. After all, his sister would be his when she grew up.

"Of course, she can be saved."

Xia Wuji said, "Stand aside, don't get in the way."

Xia Hu hurriedly took a step back and asked worriedly, "Then, Young Master, will you be alright?"

"I'm fine."

Xia Wuji said.

After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, I won't joke about my life."

Phew ~

Xia Hu let out a long breath.

Although he did not know how his young master would save his sister, Xia Hu did not doubt his young master's words.

In his heart, Xia Wuji was like the sky.

As the ghost energy in Qiuyue's body decreased, the female ghost in her body became anxious.

The ghost energy was decreasing, which meant that her strength was decreasing.

Originally, the female ghost did not want to enter a man's body. She had never touched a man until her death and had always heard that men's bodies were very smelly.

But now she had to make a choice, or she was afraid that she would gradually die because of the ghost energy.

"Maybe men don't stink that much …"

The female ghost comforted herself.

"Besides, this man is very handsome. If I enter his body and merge with his soul … Well, it's decided then."

Then, the female ghost excitedly rushed into Xia Wuji's body without hesitation.

Then …

"Ah! It was the Ghost King! … "

The female ghost was instantly devoured by the Ghost King who had yet to condense his ghost body.

"Young Master, the Ghost Qi on little sister's body is gone."

Xia Hu said excitedly.

Xia Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

The ghost in Qiu Yue's body left and was devoured by his Ghost King clone. Naturally, the ghost aura disappeared completely.

Although she still hadn't woken up, overall, she should be fine.

As long as he recuperated a little, he should be fine in a few days.

He casually pinched Qiu Yue's tender cheeks before reaching into the Cosmos Bag at his waist.

A Qiankun Pouch was a storage pouch, also known as a storage pouch. It was extremely valuable.

It looked small on the surface, but there was another world inside. It was about the size of two cubic meters.

It was left behind by his predecessor's father, Xia Chenxiao.

Xia Wuji took out a finger-sized red pill from the Qiankun Pouch.

This was a Qi and Blood Pill that could strengthen one's Qi and blood. It was very suitable for people like Qiu Yue who had a weak Qi and blood.

As a cultivator's family, although they didn't have many Spirit Stones and pills, they still had some.

Although Spirit Stones were useless to Xia Wuji who practiced martial arts and couldn't absorb the Spirit Qi inside, pills were still very useful.

However, the remaining three Qi and Blood Pills were the last of his stock.

Just as he was about to pass the Qi and Blood Pill to Xia Hu.

He suddenly paused.

He felt that the black cauldron in his body seemed to want to devour the pill.

The black cauldron wanted to take the pill?

Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

However, he didn't let the black cauldron swallow it on the spot. He still had a few Qi and Blood Pills. It wouldn't be too late to try them in his room later.

He passed the Qi and Blood Pill to Xia Hu.

"Let her drink some meat porridge first, then let her take the Qi and Blood Pill. Be careful, she has to take it a few times to avoid being too weak. "

"Yes, Young Master!"

Xia Hu took the pill respectfully.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Xia Wuji waved his hand and turned to leave.

Xia Hu could cook the meat porridge himself, so he didn't need to worry about it.

…

In the room.

Xia Wuji took out a Qi and Blood Pill from the Qiankun Pouch.

The feeling of wanting to devour appeared again.

Then, with a thought, a vortex appeared in his palm and immediately swallowed the Qi and Blood Pill.

Xia Wuji quickly entered the black fog space and stared at the black cauldron.

Sure enough, the Qi and Blood Pill was in the black cauldron.

However, in the blink of an eye, the Qi and Blood Pill disappeared and turned into a wisp of green Qi and merged with the original green Qi.

"The Qi and Blood Pill can be used like this!"

Xia Wuji's eyes were filled with excitement.

The green Qi in the black cauldron was refined from the Blood Dragon Jade's Blood Qi.

He didn't know how to obtain this kind of green Qi that could be improved after he used up the green Qi.

Now, the Qi and Blood Pill could turn into green Qi. How could he not be happy?

Then, he thought, "I wonder if Spirit Stones can be turned into green Qi …"

There were many Spirit Stones in the Qiankun Pouch that could be used by cultivators for cultivation. They were left behind by Lin Ru, the mother of his predecessor. There were a total of 17 pieces.

However, because he didn't have a Spirit Root, he couldn't absorb them.

If he could turn these Spirit Stones into green Qi, it would mean that he had another way to improve his cultivation.

With a thought, he left the black fog space.

He reached into the Qiankun Pouch again and took out a Spirit Stone. The feeling of wanting to devour reappeared.

As expected!

Xia Wuji was overjoyed.

Then, a vortex appeared in his palm again and swallowed the Spirit Stone.

Xia Wuji's mind entered the black fog space again.

He saw the Spirit Stone in the black cauldron melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. It finally turned into a wisp of green Qi and merged with the original green Qi.

"What's the origin of this black cauldron? What's this green Qi? "

Xia Wuji carefully sized up the black cauldron and thought to himself.

Unfortunately, with his eyesight and knowledge, he couldn't see any clues.

"Who cares about its origin? As long as I can improve my strength!"

Since he couldn't see it, Xia Wuji decided not to think about it.

However, he thought of another problem at this moment.

It was the Blood Dragon Jade.

According to the memories of his predecessor, the Blood Dragon Jade had always been his father, Xia Chenxiao's personal item. It was only given to him when he was ten years old and started practicing martial arts.

Logically speaking, the Blood Dragon Jade was a treasure that could awaken the spirit and strengthen the blood. Even if his martial arts talent was terrible, it should have improved his cultivation in eight years. Moreover, strengthening the blood corresponded to the Qi and Blood Realm.

However, the result was shocking.

It was completely useless.

Moreover, no one in the family had discovered it for such a long time.

This was a very strange thing in itself.

If he hadn't slashed it with his saber, he would probably never have known that the Blood Dragon Jade contained such a huge amount of Blood Qi.

It was obvious that the Blood Dragon Jade was very likely a scam.

A scam that even a cultivator like Xia Chenxiao was fooled.

Chapter 5

According to his memory, when his predecessor wore the Blood Dragon Jade, he often felt a surge of Qi and blood. It seemed that the Blood Dragon Jade had a strong effect on the wearer.

But what was puzzling was that his cultivation level could not improve.

Now that he thought about it, there was indeed a big problem with the Blood Dragon Jade.

Xia Wuji guessed that Xia Chenxiao's foundation was damaged because he wore the Blood Dragon Jade all the time. That was why he could not improve his cultivation level.

Otherwise, a cultivator who was able to join a cultivation sect should have a very good Spirit Root, and shouldn't be stuck at Mortal Realm Stage 7.

The Celestial Sect had a strict selection process for Spiritual Roots. It was said that only those with Spiritual Roots of at least the seventh grade could enter the sect. Some of the bigger Celestial Sects had even higher requirements for Spiritual Roots.

Xia Chenxiao could join the Celestial Sect Qing Xuan Pavilion, which meant that his Spiritual Root was not low. It should be at least the seventh grade Spiritual Root.

With such Spiritual Root, he could at least reach Mortal Realm Stage Eleven, or even the Great Circle of Perfection.

But in the end, he only reached Mortal Realm Stage Seven. That was a bit unbelievable.

But all of these were just Xia Wuji's guesses. He could not be sure.

After all, Xia Chenxiao had disappeared and was probably dead.

His mother was also dead.

The Blood Dragon Jade was also destroyed by him.

There was no proof of all of this.

Xia Wuji shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He was ready to improve the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

Cultivation level was important, but martial arts techniques were also important.

A strong martial arts technique could increase one's strength by several folds.

No matter how strong one's strength was, it required a strong martial arts technique to fully utilize it. He understood this principle.

With a thought, a few lines of words appeared in front of him.

< Martial Arts: Dragon Tiger Technique >

< Cultivation Level: Level Nine of Qi and Blood Realm >

< Martial Arts: Ferocious Tiger Fist >

< Status: Level One (Upgradeable) >

< Saber Technique: Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique >

< Status: Level One (Upgradeable) >

Xia Wuji's gaze stopped at the Cultivation Level, then fell on the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

The "Ferocious Tiger Fist" was considered a common martial art. There were only two styles, one was "Ferocious Tiger Descends the Mountain", and the other was "Ferocious Tiger Swings Its Tail".

In the first move, "Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain", not only did it contain fist moves, it also contained footwork. With a step forward, one would rush forward like a tiger, and then with a ferocious tiger like punch, one would kill the opponent.

The second style, "Ferocious Tiger Swings Its Tail", was a leg technique. When practiced to the advanced stage, one's legs would be as hard as iron. When swept out, it could kick a person in half. It was extremely fierce.

The key to "Fierce Tiger Fist" was two words: "Fast" and "Ruthless".

Being fast meant being fast; being ruthless meant being ruthless. It was an overbearing and ruthless feeling.

He reached out his hand and tapped on the "upgradeable" button.

The Green Qi immediately decreased a little.

The essence of the Ferocious Tiger Fist quickly appeared in his mind. It was as if he had practiced the Ferocious Tiger Fist countless times. When he punched out, his aura was like that of a tiger, and at the same time, his speed was as fast as that of a tiger. His leg swept out like a hot knife through butter.

His status immediately changed to "Level 2".

Xia Wuji tapped again.

Upgrade, upgrade.

Third layer of the Ferocious Tiger Fist! The fourth floor!

Boom ~ ~

His entire body involuntarily emitted an aura of disdain for the world.

He had completely grasped the essence of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

However, Xia Wuji did not stop there. He continued to tap on the "upgradeable" button, because the word "upgradeable" did not disappear.

As he pointed his finger, a mysterious and profound understanding quickly surged into his mind.

In an instant, it was as if Xia Wuji had transformed into a hundred-meter-long, brightly-colored tiger. With a monstrous tiger's aura, he pounced forward. Wherever he passed, he was unparalleled.

In the room, Xia Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. A powerful aura appeared on his body.

He came to the courtyard and punched forward.

Boom ~

A tyrannical and ruthless tiger's aura appeared on his body. A pair of terrifyingly huge tiger's eyes vaguely appeared on top of his head.

He clenched his fist and punched forward.

Tiger's Aura Kill!

The fist carried an indomitable and unparalleled force as it broke through the air and hit a huge rock three meters away from him.

Bang!

The solid rock instantly shattered into pieces.

He was currently in the Blood Qi realm and could only be considered a martial disciple.

However, he felt that the power of this punch was enough to destroy an early-stage Level Three Bone-Tempering martial artist!

"So, this is Force! Force that can amplify strength by several times! "

It was said that only the masters of the Martial Taoist sect could comprehend "Force". However, the masters of the Taoist sect were all peak Acquired Masters.

Those who could comprehend "Force" in the Blood Qi realm were definitely unique. Even if there were, they would be top geniuses.

Xia Wuji's eyes flashed with a shrewd light.

At this moment, the Ferocious Tiger Fist was no longer a common skill. It was a powerful attack secret manual.

With a thought, he entered the black foggy space again.

…

…

In Qiu Yue's room.

At this moment, Qiu Yue's long eyelashes moved and she opened her eyes slightly.

Xia Hu was already in the kitchen, making breakfast and cooking meat porridge. He did not know that his sister had woken up.

He also did not know that his sister's soul had changed into another person.

"Where is this?"

'Qiu Yue' opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She looked around.

What entered her eyes was ordinary furniture.

"I only went to the Reincarnation Sea. How did I end up here?"

At this moment, memories belonging to Qiu Yue flooded her mind.

"This is … the mortal world?!"

"I'm a maid … and I'm called Qiu Yue?"

She habitually used her Divine Sense to look inside, but then her expression changed greatly.

"No magic power at all? The trashiest ninth-grade spirit root? Damn it, who, who is joking with this princess? Reincarnation King? Ethereal Emperor? … "

After a while, she finally accepted the fact.

She was really reborn.

"Could it be because of Xue …"

'Qiu Yue's expression was somewhat gloomy.

It was obvious that she had been schemed against.

Although the purpose of the scheme was not clear, she already had some guesses.

However, even if she guessed correctly, she was powerless to change it now.

She was now a mortal without any magic power.

"Qiu Yue?" She smiled bitterly. "It's actually the same name as this princess's maid."

"Chun Tao, Qiu …"

She opened her mouth and was about to call her maid out of habit, but suddenly remembered that she was now a maid. She could not help but be startled.

"I never thought that I, Yun Qingyao, would become a maid one day. Moreover, I'm a maid of the lowest level in the mortal world."

Yun Qingyao shook her head somewhat helplessly. She tidied up her clothes and got off the bed. She looked around calmly.

After a while, she suddenly smiled sweetly. She was clearly only fifteen years old, but her eyes were deep, and a hint of confidence appeared on her face.

"So what if it's a scheme? Who can clearly tell the gains and losses? Perhaps, being reborn is also not bad. It can make up for the missing foundation of the Great Dao. Growing up from nothing and training my Dao Heart of the mortal world. From now on, I, Yun Qingyao, will start my journey of seeking the Dao and perfecting my Dao Heart. "

As if feeling a lingering obsession, she said, "From now on, you are me, and I am you. I will live well for you. Don't worry, you and I will definitely live a wonderful life!"

As if feeling Yun Qingyao's magnanimous and strong soul belief, Qiu Yue's obsession finally dissipated completely. Their souls completely merged together.

Yun Qingyao's eyes were clear and calm.

If she wanted to live a wonderful life, she had to cultivate immortality.

Although the trashiest ninth-grade spirit root could not even be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment realm, it was not impossible for her to do so.

It was just that this method was somewhat difficult, and she needed help.

"I never thought that I, Yun Qingyao, would one day cultivate demonic cultivation techniques …"

A smile appeared on Yun Qingyao's face.

…

Xia Wuji stood in the courtyard, motionless.

His mind had already entered the black fog space.

With a thought, the words appeared.

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Tiger Technique]

[Realm: Ninth Firmament of Qi and Blood]

[Battle Technique: Ferocious Tiger Fist]

[Status: Level Five (Tiger's Might Kill)]

[Saber Technique: Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique]

[Status: Level One (Upgradeable)]

In the Ferocious Tiger Fist's status column, the original "Level One" had now become "Level Five (Tiger's Might Kill)".

Probably due to the restriction of his cultivation, the word "upgradeable" had already disappeared.

Xia Wuji did not mind.

There was still Green Qi.

He wanted to upgrade the Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique again.

The Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique had a total of two moves: Ferocious Tiger Descends the Mountain, and Ferocious Tiger Swings Its Tail.

With the experience of upgrading the Ferocious Tiger Fist previously, Xia Wuji was familiar with it. Once again, he clicked on the "upgradeable" behind the Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique.

Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade …

Chapter 6

The essence of the "Tiger Saber Technique" kept flowing in his mind. Xia Wuji felt as if he had practiced the "Tiger Fist" and "Tiger Saber Technique" for many years. One punch and one saber, unstoppable, shocking the heavens.

The green gas kept decreasing, but because the Tiger Fist and Tiger Saber Technique were connected, the consumption was much less than before.

In the blink of an eye, the Tiger Saber Technique was also upgraded to "Tiger Might Kill", and the words "upgrade" also disappeared.

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Tiger Technique]

[Realm: Ninth Firmament of Qi and Blood Realm]

[Martial Technique: Tiger Fist]

[Status: Level 5 (Tiger Might Kill)]

[Saber Technique: Tiger Saber Technique]

[Status: Level 5 (Tiger Might Kill)]

This wave of upgrades ended.

There was still a small amount of green gas left, less than one-tenth of the original.

His gaze landed on the doppelganger's information.

[First doppelganger: Ghost King (Uncondensed. After condensing, it can form a ghost realm)]

[Materials required for condensing: Ghost Blood, Yin Corpse Water, Soul-breaking Grass]

[Ability: Scare (Pull the opponent into the ghost realm, forming a psychological scare; if it is a ghost or vengeful spirit, it will be directly devoured by the Ghost King, increasing the Ghost King's cultivation)]

"Blue Moon City hasn't been peaceful recently. I should get this Ghost King doppelganger out as soon as possible …"

Xia Wuji thought to himself.

Although he had not completely condensed the Ghost King doppelganger, he had already seen the Ghost King's use.

He originally thought that the Ghost King's ability to scare was only average, or even useless.

However, after the incident with Qiu Yue, he had already confirmed that the Ghost King doppelganger was very lethal to ghosts.

In addition, "Scare" might not be average.

For example, if he was fighting with an enemy and suddenly released the Ghost King, he might be able to seize the opportunity to kill the enemy in one fell swoop.

For example, if the enemy was too strong and he was no match for them, he could release the Ghost King. The enemy might be afraid and flee without fighting.

Besides, Blue Moon City had been haunted recently. If he could get the Ghost King doppelganger out, it might be quite useful.

However, the materials for awakening the Ghost King gave him a headache.

Yin Corpse Water and Soul-breaking Grass could be found in the market, but ghost blood was hard to find.

The problem was, did ghosts have blood?

Xia Wuji stroked his chin and pondered.

Even though he saw the ghost's face bleeding, he clearly remembered that when he punched the female ghost's head, the female ghost's head only turned into black smoke. There was no ghost blood.

After pondering for a while, he decided to go to the Vientiane Tower to ask after breakfast.

In terms of materials, the Vientiane Tower was the most complete.

She went back to her room and tidied it up.

Qiu Yue was sick, so he had to do the housework himself.

After cleaning up, Xia Wuji went to the dining room. At this time, Xia Hu had already prepared breakfast and was cooking meat porridge for Qiu Yue.

After breakfast, Xia Wuji went out.

It was the turn of spring and summer, and the sun rose early.

Although the sun had just risen, the peddlers had come out early to make a living. The streets were quite lively at this time.

Street stalls, breakfast vendors, and shouts rose and fell one after another.

Cloth stores, clothing stores, grain and oil stores, and shops related to the daily life of the common people were all open early. Even some pill and weapon stores were open.

Xia Wuji, who was wearing a black robe, walked on the bluestone paved street. Looking at this bustling world without electricity or internet, he breathed in the fresh air. His heart was calm for no reason.

The air was fresh and clean, without any pollution. Just taking a breath could make one's heart feel comfortable. The food was clean and pure, and there were many pills and elixirs that could prolong one's life.

If Blue Moon City wasn't haunted, he would feel that this world was the best place for health.

This street was called Feng Hui Street. After turning left, it was Fairy Street where his Xia family owned 26 shops.

Fairy Street was a bustling place, but most of the time, it was lively at noon and at night. Fairy Street was filled with restaurants, and all kinds of shops were filled with dazzling goods. At the same time, there were also three brothels.

At night, the entire street was bustling with people. The smell of rouge, wine, and sweat mingled together.

Xia Wuji didn't go to Fairy Street. Instead, he turned right and turned to Wanxiang Street.

Vientiane Tower, which could be found all over Da Chu, was located on this street.

Originally, this street was called Ye Tian Street. In the past, Blue Moon City's number one clan, the Ye Clan, was located on this street. Later on, the Ye Clan declined and disappeared. In the end, this street was taken over by Vientiane Tower and was named Wanxiang Street.

Compared to the bustling Feng Hui Street, Wanxiang Street was somewhat deserted. There weren't many people, but everyone walking on Wanxiang Street had a profound aura. Occasionally, one could even see cultivators passing by.

Compared to martial artists, cultivators were very easy to recognize. They had an otherworldly aura on their bodies. In layman's terms, it was immortal aura.

At the same time, cultivators often had an aloof indifference on their faces. In their words, it was a refreshing and indifferent attitude towards the secular world. It was a necessary attitude to cultivate and seek the Dao.

In fact, everyone understood that they were looking down on people.

No matter how strong they were, cultivators looked down on martial artists and even more so on ordinary people.

After all, they weren't on the same level.

Xia Wuji was only a martial disciple at the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm. He wasn't even a martial artist. Walking on Wanxiang Street, no one gave him a second glance.

Vientiane Tower was at the end of Wanxiang Street.

Of course, there were more than one comprehensive store like Vientiane Tower that sold all kinds of materials on Wanxiang Street. Other than Vientiane Tower, there were also two comprehensive stores, Wanfu Building and Treasure Tower of the World.

However, Vientiane Tower occupied a larger area in Blue Moon City and had a wider variety of products, so it was relatively more famous.

At this time, Wanfu Building and Treasure Tower of the World were still closed.

Following his memory, Xia Wuji quickly arrived in front of Vientiane Tower.

Vientiane Tower had just opened its doors.

A young servant at the door saw him and greeted him warmly.

"Good morning, Young Master Xia."

Xia Wuji was a regular here, so the servant recognized him.

Xia Wuji smiled and nodded. "Good morning."

Then, he walked over with his hands behind his back.

"Young Master Xia, what do you want to buy today? Or are you just looking around? "

The servant cupped his fists and asked politely.

Early in the morning, the servant had to tidy up the decorations in the main hall and clean the main hall.

Therefore, if Xia Wuji was just looking around, he didn't need to accompany him.

"I need some materials."

Xia Wuji went straight to the point.

Hearing that he wanted to buy something, the servant's face lit up.

Everyone knew that when the customers bought things, the servants who served them would get a commission.

"No wonder I dreamt of a benefactor last night. Young Master Xia is my benefactor today."

The manservant beamed with joy and bowed.

Chapter 7

Almost everyone in Blue Moon City knew that the Old Master of the Xia family had gone missing and that no one knew if he was dead or alive. Mrs. Xia Wuji had died a month ago, and now the only one left was Xia Wuji, a good-for-nothing with no talent for martial arts.

It could be said that the once glorious Old Xia family was now in decline.

However, many families in Blue Moon City did not dare to underestimate them.

A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how bad the Old Xia family was, they were still stronger than many ordinary families.

The heritage of a cultivator's family was not something ordinary people could imagine. Who knew if the Xia family's Old Master had left behind powerful offensive talismans or magic tools?

Without fully confirming Xia Chenxiao's death, no one would directly attack the Xia family.

Although Old Master Xia's strength was not too high at the Mortal Realm Level 7, he was still from a prestigious sect and had a variety of powerful spells.

In Blue Moon City, apart from those high-level Mortal Realm Immortals, very few people could pose a threat to him.

Moreover, the power behind the cultivators was very powerful.

Under normal circumstances, if there were no special circumstances, no one was willing to take the initiative to offend a cultivator.

Therefore, even if they knew that the Old Master of the Xia family had been missing for a year, no one dared to openly offend the Young Master of the Xia family.

After all, there was still a lingering influence. If one day the Old Master of the Xia family came back, those people and families who had offended Young Master Xia might not even be able to sleep peacefully.

As a servant of the Vientiane Tower, he had seen many things over the years and had a discerning eye.

Moreover, he was just a servant of the Vientiane Tower. Why should he care about these things? Whoever had more money was the boss.

Who would want to go against money?

In the eyes of the servant, Xia Wuji was a rich man who knew how to spend money.

As for whether the Xia family was in decline or whether Old Master Xia would return, it had nothing to do with him, a servant of the Vientiane Tower.

"Young Master Xia, you know that whether it is materials, pills, or secret manuals, our Vientiane Tower has the most complete collection. May I know what materials Young Master Xia needs this time? "

The manservant said respectfully with a face full of smiles.

Xia Wuji was not long-winded and said: "I need three materials: Ghost Blood, Yin Corpse Water, and Soul Breaking Grass."

The manservant was stunned. He knew about the "Yin Corpse Water" and the "Soul Severing Grass".

But what was "ghost blood"?

Do ghosts have blood?

The servant quickly cupped his fists and bowed, "Young master Xia, please forgive my shallow knowledge. I only know of Yin Corpse Water and Broken Soul Grass, but I have never heard of Ghost Blood. Young Master Xia, please take a seat over there and wait for a moment. I'll go get the deacon now. "

Xia Wuji nodded.

The servant turned around and entered the inner room. Soon, he went upstairs.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a plain robe with golden edges walked down with the manservant.

Xia Wuji knew this person. He was the manager of the Vientiane Tower who was in charge of medicinal herbs. His name was Du Ming, and his predecessor had bought many medicinal herbs from him.

Xia Wuji walked over and cupped his fists, "Manager Du."

This Du Ming was a cultivator. Although he was only at the fifth level of the Qi Realm, a cultivator was a cultivator. Not only did they have all kinds of spells, they also had an advantage that martial artists could not compare to. That was, their mental strength was very strong.

Du Ming's cultivation level was not high, and his mental strength could only extend half a meter away from his body.

But this was enough for a manager who often needed to identify medicinal herbs.

"So it's Young Master Xia."

Du Ming said with a smile.

But he was a bit confused. He felt that Xia Wuji's blood was much more vigorous than before.

Did he break through?

That's right. It's been so many years, it's about time he broke through.

But he didn't take it to heart.

A martial arts waste who couldn't break through one level after many years. Even if he broke through, he wouldn't have much success.

However, Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat when he heard his polite words.

According to his memory, Du Ming used to affectionately call him "Master Wuji".

But today he suddenly called him "Master Xia".

It seemed like there was no difference, but Xia Wuji still felt that something was wrong.

Not allowing Xia Wuji to think more, Du Ming continued to ask, "What does Master Xia need for Yin Corpse Water, Ghost Blood, and Soul Breaking Grass?"

Xia Wuji was surprised, then smiled, "Since when did the Vientiane Tower have a rule of asking customers what medicinal herbs are used for?"

Du Ming laughed, "Master Xia, please don't think too much. The Vientiane Tower has never had a rule of asking customers what medicinal herbs are used for. I'm just worried about Master Xia's safety."

"Ghost Blood, Yin Corpse Water, and Soul Breaking Grass, all of them are items of extreme Yin and evil. They need to be sealed in special items, so it's better to be careful."

Xia Wuji nodded, smiled and said, "I've misunderstood you."

"I don't know if your tower has these three items?"

"We don't have Ghost Blood, but we have the other two."

Du Ming said straightforwardly.

Xia Wuji slightly frowned, asked, "I don't know where you can buy Ghost Blood?"

Du Ming shook his head, "Maybe you can find it in Fengyuan County, but I can't guarantee it. The only thing I can guarantee is that you can't find it in Blue Moon City."

"Why?"

Xia Wuji was puzzled.

"We know that there are many kinds of ghosts. There are ordinary ghosts, resentful spirits, evil ghosts, and even the powerful Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings that ordinary people can't fight against. Ordinary ghosts certainly don't have Ghost Blood. Although the stronger resentful spirits are difficult to deal with, they also don't have it. Only Evil Ghosts with cultivation can condense Ghost Blood. "

Du Ming explained.

"Ghosts with cultivation are at least Evil Ghosts and Evil Ghosts. They are extremely terrifying. Even I may not be able to subdue them. Because these ghosts are fierce and terrifying, and difficult to obtain, Ghost Blood is very precious. "

"Another reason is that Ghost Blood is difficult to store."

"The higher the cultivation of the ghost, the longer the Ghost Blood can be stored. The lower the cultivation of the ghost, the shorter the Ghost Blood can be stored."

"Generally speaking, the Ghost Blood of Evil Ghosts can be stored for a maximum of three days, and the Ghost Blood of Evil Ghosts can be stored for a maximum of seven days."

"It is said that the Ghost Blood of Ghost Generals can be stored for a longer period of time, up to three months. However, the Ghost Generals are too strong. Even Foundation Establishment Realm experts can't deal with them. The preciousness of their Ghost Blood can be imagined."

"So, do you understand?"

Xia Wuji slightly frowned and nodded.

"Understood. May I ask Deacon Du, how can I obtain Ghost Blood?"

Without Ghost Blood, he couldn't condense the Ghost King's avatar, so he had to obtain this Ghost Blood.

Du Ming looked at him and asked in surprise, "It must be Ghost Blood?"

Although he didn't know what Xia Wuji was doing with these extreme Yin and evil materials, he guessed that it should be related to some kind of array or talisman.

In this aspect, some things could be replaced.

Xia Wuji nodded.

A trace of doubt flashed through Du Ming's eyes, but he didn't show it.

He was just about to say that it was impossible to obtain this thing when he suddenly had a thought.

He looked around and said to Xia Wuji, "Young Master Xia, please follow me."

With that, he turned and entered the inner room.

Du Ming was acting a little strange today, which made Xia Wuji hesitate.

Chapter 8

Xia Wuji only hesitated for a moment.

Although Du Ming was a little abnormal, he did not feel any danger.

Then, he stepped forward and followed behind.

The two went upstairs from the staircase in the inner room.

In a room upstairs, Du Ming closed the door and said, "Young Master Xia, please sit down."

After Xia Wuji sat down, Du Ming made a cup of clear green leaf tea. The emerald green tea leaves rolled in the white porcelain cup.

He handed it over, put it on the tea table, and sat down.

Looking at Xia Wuji, he said, "At present, the only way to get the ghost blood is to kill the murderous ghost."

Xia Wuji frowned slightly.

The murderous ghost was very strong, at least equivalent to a martial artist at the peak of the Bone Tempering Realm. Ordinary people could not get close at all.

But he was not helpless. He had the Ghost King's clone in his body. Although it had not condensed a body, he felt that it should be able to restrain the murderous ghost.

But in front of Du Ming, he still had to pretend that it was a little tricky.

After a mental struggle, Xia Wuji finally exhaled deeply and asked, "Then … where are the murderous ghosts?"

Du Ming, who had been paying attention to the changes in Xia Wuji's expression, was moved in his heart.

He had already said this, but he still did not give up.

It seemed that he still wanted to kill the murderous ghost.

It could be seen that the ghost blood was very important to this Xia family kid.

However, he first kept him in suspense and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about where the murderous ghost with cultivation is. Do you still want the Yin Corpse Water and Soul Breaking Grass?"

If he gave the news to Xia Wuji, this kid would not want the Yin Corpse Water and Soul Breaking Grass and would wait until he got the ghost blood to buy it. Wouldn't that be a big loss?

The first business deal in the morning could not be ruined like this.

Xia Wuji also saw his concerns and said directly, "Then give me the Yin Corpse Water and Soul Breaking Grass first."

"Okay." Du Ming said with a smile, "But I have to say first, the price of these two materials is not cheap."

"What price?"

Xia Wuji asked calmly.

Du Ming smiled and said: "Each drop of Yin Corpse Water is ten taels of silver, and each stalk of Broken Soul Grass is ten low-grade spirit stones."

What a guy! One drop of Yin Corpse Water cost ten silvers!

Xia Wuji's eyelids twitched.

Was this a robbery?!

According to the information, among the materials needed to condense the Ghost King's avatar, there were 100 drops of Ghost Blood and 100 drops of Yin Corpse Water.

A hundred drops sounded like a lot, but it was only a small bottle.

There were only two small bottles.

Xia Wuji thought that it would not cost much.

He did not expect that one drop of Yin Corpse Water would cost ten silvers. One hundred drops would be one thousand silvers!

The Soul Breaking Grass was even more outrageous. It actually cost ten Spirit Stones.

From the memories of his predecessor, he knew that one spirit stone was worth at least five hundred taels of silver. Ten spirit stones were equivalent to five thousand taels of silver.

In other words, he would need to spend a total of six thousand taels of silver for these two items.

This was not even including the Ghost Blood. According to Du Ming's description of how difficult it was to obtain Ghost Blood, the price would probably skyrocket.

Truly a fraud!

Xia Wuji was very suspicious that Du Ming was deliberately cheating him.

This possibility was not high. After all, on this street, other than the Vientiane Tower, there were also the Ten Thousand Blessings Building and the World Treasure Tower.

Du Ming did not dare to ruin the Vientiane Tower's signboard.

Unless these two items were very rare and even the Ten Thousand Blessings Building and the World Treasure Tower did not have them. Then there was no room for discussion.

But there was no other way. He had to obtain these items.

It really was a case of the poor studying and the rich fighting.

Xia Wuji sighed in his heart.

He had just started cultivating and he was already spending money like water. If he continued, who knew how much he would have to spend in the future.

His heart was cursing the Vientiane Tower for being black-hearted, but his face did not change. He still had a faint smile.

"Just these two items, they really cost a lot of money." Xia Wuji smiled and said, "I wonder if Deacon Du can give me a discount?"

"Haha, of course." Du Ming laughed and said, "Young Master Xia has always been a regular customer of this building."

"These things are not easy to store and they are rare. I originally did not charge you a high price. How about this, I'll give you a 2% discount. What do you think?"

Xia Wuji looked at him calmly.

According to his memory, when his predecessor came to buy medicinal herbs, he did not need to say anything. This Du Ming would give him a 5% discount.

But now when he asked for a discount, this guy actually gave him a 2% discount.

How did this guy change so much?

But compared to condensing the Ghost King Clone, he would not haggle with this guy over a hundred taels of silver.

"How about exchanging spirit stones for silver notes?"

Xia Wuji said.

Spirit stones could help him cultivate, but silver could not.

So if he could avoid using spirit stones, he would try his best not to use them.

"Okay, according to the market price, five hundred taels for one low-grade spirit stone."

Du Ming said.

Xia Wuji nodded, "Okay."

Du Ming smiled and said, "Young Master Xia is still so straightforward."

Then he turned around and walked into the room. After a while, he came out again.

In his hand was a wooden box and a porcelain bottle.

There were two talismans on the wooden box and the porcelain bottle.

"Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Du Ming asked.

"Yes."

Xia Wuji said without hesitation.

These two things were worth six thousand taels of silver. This was not a small amount.

What if this guy didn't give him what he needed? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?

It was not despicable to order goods in person. This was good for both sides.

Du Ming nodded.

Then in front of Xia Wuji, he removed the talismans and carefully opened the wooden box.

A cold and evil aura suddenly rushed out of the wooden box. A black grass with six leaves lay inside, exuding a cold aura.

It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but the direction of the wooden box just happened to be Xia Wuji.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, Xia Wuji was the first to bear the brunt of the cold and evil aura.

Du Ming stared at Xia Wuji.

But he saw that Xia Wuji's expression did not change at all. He first glanced at it indifferently, and then he even reached out his hand as if he wanted to touch the Soul-breaking Grass.

However, when his hand touched the wooden box, he paused for a moment and then closed the wooden box.

"This Soul-breaking Grass is real."

Xia Wuji said.

He was fine!

Du Ming was shocked.

From the beginning, he told Xia Wuji that these things were the most evil things, but he did not tell Xia Wuji that these things could not be touched by ordinary people at all. Even their aura could not be touched by them.

Otherwise, one would be in a trance, or seriously ill, or even go crazy.

Even he, a Mortal Realm Stage Five cultivator, did not dare to be so careless and directly face these evil things, let alone touch the Soul-breaking Grass.

Just now, he intentionally opened the wooden box in front of Xia Wuji to test Xia Wuji.

He was a Martial Disciple, how could he deal with this evil aura?

But he did not expect that when the cold and evil aura directly hit Xia Wuji's face, Xia Wuji did not feel it at all, nor was he attacked by the evil aura.

There was something wrong with this guy!

It was obvious that he had a treasure that could resist the evil Yin Ghost!

Xia Chenxiao had accumulated a lot of good things over the years!

Du Ming thought to himself.
