You can't stand out from the crowd.
After all, his true form as a celestial demon is different from that of a ghost.
"The man named Hai didn't even show up in this matter. What care and support does it have? Whether the other party recognizes it or not, it is not up to him to decide." Shi Dechun curled his lips.
"Yin Liu was a gambler and gangster when he was alive. He did all these things that hurt others and benefited himself after he came to the underworld."
"Why should we give the Jade Dew we collected with great effort to that person?" Shi Dechun said indignantly: "Brother Chen, are you willing to do this?"
Chen Mu glanced at the other person.
What does this old rascal want to do?
Shi Dechun chuckled, leaned closer and whispered, "How about you praise him a little too?"
Chen Mu immediately rolled his eyes.
God damn, praise him!
Feelings are trying to push me to take the lead.
But...
He glanced at the traffic light in the distance that was still holding its chin high, and then looked at Yin Liu who was smiling like a mean guy: "Tsk, he does look like he deserves a beating."
"Really?!" Shi Dechun was immediately surprised.
After spending many days together, he had already seen that this little bald guy was not ordinary. He didn't want to hand over Yu Lu, but he couldn't resist. But the little bald guy was different. With this guy taking the lead, it was stable!
"Just watch me tomorrow." Chen Mu smiled indifferently.
Shi Dechun couldn't help but grin: "The old man only follows Brother Chen's lead."
……
The next day, evening.
The bonfire was lit as usual.
Yin Liu was holding a large gourd. After Niu Sanmiao collected the toll, he came to the campfire one by one with a smile on his face.
Although those people looked unhappy, they all handed over the jade dew in unison.
Soon the other party came to Chen Mu's campfire. He looked at Chen Mu at first sight and said with ill intention: "Brother Chen, what are you going to do?"
"The Yin soldiers have a high status in Jiugu City. One word can keep us safe, but one word can also..."
He had a smile on his face, but his words contained a threat.
Chen Mu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the people around the campfire looked aggrieved but obediently handed over the jade dew. Now they were no longer expecting the other party to take care of them, but hoping that the other party would not cause trouble.
Everyone's face suddenly looked bad.
There was a hidden smile in Shi Dechun's eyes.
Threats are good. The little bald guy is young and full of energy. The more he threatens, the more fiercely he will resist, right?
He looked at Chen Mu expectantly.
Then Chen Mu, with an expressionless face, threw the yellow gourd from his waist to Yin Liu.
Shi Dechun: “…”
Are you so cowardly?
You don't even want to resist, you are still a young man!
"Don't you want to praise him?" Shi Dechun came closer and asked in a low voice unwillingly.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Chen Mu said with a look of sudden realization: "Brother Yin Liu, Mr. Shi asked me to praise you for your hard work!"
Shi Dechun's face turned green.
Now everyone hates Yin Liu to the core, but you say I want to praise him. Isn't this just making me hate you?
This little bastard is not doing anything!
Sure enough, the way the man looked at him immediately became strange.
Yin Liu also looked at Shi Dechun with a smile.
He guessed immediately that the cunning old man wanted to stir up trouble and let the little bald man cause trouble for him. Unfortunately, the little bald man was too timid and was afraid of Brother Hai behind him.
Yin Liu immediately laughed strangely: "Old Shi, your Jade Dew..."
Shi Dechun had a sad face and had to take off the gourd from his waist and hand it over.
Yin Liu was not polite either. He took it and poured the jade dew directly into the large gourd with a wide mouth in his hand.
The gourd had been filled with empty jade dew beads, and the jade dew was immediately absorbed. The entire campfire had handed in half a gourd of jade dew. His wide-mouthed gourd still had no excess overflow.
After Yin Liu left, Shi Dechun sighed as he looked at the strange looks from the people around him.
"How could you do that?"
Chen Mu looked surprised: "Didn't you ask me to praise him?"
Shi Dechun's face turned even greener.
Did I ask you to praise me like that? I wanted you to use your ability to praise others.
Chen Mu watched with joy as Old Man Shi's expression changed.
You old rascal, you still want me to help you? You have found the wrong person!
Shi Dechun was almost laughing out of anger. He knew very well that he was being fooled by this little bald guy.
After a long while, he sighed helplessly: "You are really willing to endure hunger and cold and hand over half a gourd of Jade Dew every day?"
Chen Mu chuckled: "It's okay, let him keep it for me for a few days."
Shi Dechun was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "Hey! I was wondering how you could be so petty and give Yu Lu away so easily. So..."
Small-minded?
Who are you talking about!
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and turned his head.
Shi Dechun's whole body stiffened.
Damn it, I got so excited that I blurted out what was really in my heart!
……
After the initial resistance, everyone soon accepted the exploitation of the one-eyed man Hai Yuan. Even Niu Sanmiao took it for granted. Naturally, many ordinary ghosts were powerless and courageous to resist.
Chen Mu was still mingling in the crowd, constantly gaining experience points by using the Dew Gathering Spell.
But he no longer collected more jade dew, because he found out through indirect inquiries that ordinary ghosts like Shi Dechun did have a limit to the amount of jade dew they could collect.
This day, by the Forgotten River.
Chen Mu dispersed the small particles of jade dew that had just condensed around him, and a sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in his heart.
He discovered that the power used in the Dew Gathering Curse was similar in nature to the Qi Ban Baili.
"So, the Dew Gathering Spell uses the special power of ghost monsters, which is similar to the magic power of Qigong practitioners?"
"Using the Dew Gathering Mantra to activate it can collect Jade Dew. Using the Qi Ban Hundred Miles method to activate it, is that the Qi Ban Hundred Miles that captures and senses everything at once?"
"No wonder the limit of my Dew Gathering Spell is higher than Shi Dechun and the others." Chen Mu suddenly realized.
His Qi Jin Baili had been awakened and used for more than ten years. The unique power belonging to the ghost monster in his body was far stronger than that of the newborn ghosts like Shi Dechun.
"A power system that is different from that of Qigong practitioners and celestial demons?"
"Interesting, very interesting!"
He immediately became interested in Jiugu City.
"If they recruit ghost soldiers there, do they have methods to train and arm them?"
"We have to find out a way."

Chapter 427 Recovery
By the River Lethe
Swish!
A pebble fell quietly into the river, but strangely, not a single splash was made. The surface of the water was as calm as a mirror, without even the slightest ripple.
Shi Dechun tossed the stone in his hand up and down, looking at the river surface boredly.
After the faint sound of the spell disappeared, he turned around and looked at Chen Mu with a puzzled look on his face: "Don't you find it annoying to recite the Dew Gathering Spell every day?"
Dew Collection Spell: 8526/10000;
Chen Mu put away the gray wall and smiled.
bother?
How could I be annoyed when I see myself gaining experience and leveling up?
"Besides, it's useless no matter how well you recite this thing. The upper limit of collecting jade dew depends on personal talent, not on how good one's mouth is. Why do you recite it every day?" Shi Dechun changed his angle and threw another stone into the river.
Ah!
For me, good talking skills are very useful.
Over the past few days, as the experience gained from the Dew Gathering Spell increased, the root power that activated the Dew Gathering Spell began to vaguely emerge.
Not only did this allow him to collect more jade dew, but his Hundred Miles Qi Confinement, which had been unable to be activated since he transformed into his true form as a celestial demon, also seemed to be slowly recovering.
Chen Mu was in a good mood, and said cheerfully: "I prefer to recite rhymes."
I believe you!
Shi Dechun rolled his eyes, leaned sideways, and threw the last pebble into the surface of the Wangchuan River. Unfortunately, not a single splash was made.
"By the way, has everyone's travel expenses been paid almost?" Chen Mu asked with a frown.
But he vaguely discovered these days that Niu Sanmiao did not seem to have any plans to leave in the near future.
