The courtyard where Chen Mu lives belongs to the children's group, and they have to pay thirty jade dew beads every month.
An ordinary ghost can collect one and a half jade dew beads every day, half of which he needs to eat himself, and the other one is just enough to pay the rent.
“We won’t starve to death, but it’s hard to save money.”
"You calculated it so carefully. There must be a capable person in Jiugu City."
This reminded him of his experience of farming in the lower courtyard of Tongtian River. If there was no way to break through, he would be stuck in the same place, constantly collecting jade dew for Jigu City, and it would be difficult to escape.
"Unless you starve yourself to save up the Jade Dew, you won't have any money left to buy anything else."
"Oh, maybe planting trees can work." Chen Mu looked at the burdock tree.
"It's a pity that the Moon Burdock Pearl is not worth much."
In Jigu City, one Jade Dew Pearl can be exchanged for a gourd of Moon Burdock Pearls. At most, it can only help buy some daily necessities. It is basically impossible to get rich by planting trees.
"Is this... a human-shaped spiritual field that produces jade dew beads? Tsk..."
……
at dusk.
The cold white sun in the sky slowly sank to the west.
There were three plates of side dishes on the stone table in Chen Mu's courtyard.
A plate of golden fried nuts, a plate of thinly sliced brown braised meat, and a plate of bright red cold leafy vegetables.
Shi Dechun held a small wine glass and ate meat and drank wine happily.
Chen Mu also tasted the unique food of the underworld with a curious look on his face. Although the appearance was different, the taste of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty was exactly the same.
"The power you're talking about is called Yin Ling divine power." Shi Dechun took a sip of wine, his cheeks slightly red as he said, "It is said that if you practice the Dew Gathering Spell to a deep level, you can control it. It is the root power of our Yin Ling."
"Have you known the effect of the Dew Gathering Spell a long time ago?" He looked at Chen Mu suspiciously.
Ever since the little bald guy got the Dew-Gathering Spell, he would recite it whenever he had time.
It's really not.
Chen Mu shook his head in his heart.
At first, he was just brushing up his proficiency out of habit.
"I just saw those weird guys reciting it all the time, so I followed them and practiced more." He shrugged and said casually.
Shi Dechun suddenly realized, "It must be Niu Tou who told them alone!"
"It seems that whether you are alive or dead, it doesn't matter where you are. If you don't have any ability, you are not worthy of being treated differently."
Then he laughed cheerfully: "But I am not envious. For me, having wine to drink and wood carving is enough."
Chen Mu looked at the other person in surprise.
Although this old man is cowardly and cunning, he is quite open-minded at times.
"Ghost soldiers, ghost soldiers. With the word 'soldier' in their name, they must fight. I don't dare to do that." Shi Dechun shrugged.
"If you have any ideas, you can practice more."
"First, cultivate the power of the Yin spirit, then awaken the supernatural power, and then you can go to Jigu City to serve as a Yin soldier."
Chen Mu frowned slightly.
Practice divine power first and then awaken supernatural powers?
"Awakening supernatural powers requires the power of Yin spirits?"
"Yes, the ghost soldiers in Jiugu City all act in this way." The old man took another sip of wine, his eyes blurry with drunkenness.
This isn't right. When I just crawled out of the Forgotten River, I gained the ability to confuse gods for a short period of time.
"That one-eyed man Hai Yuan hasn't cultivated the power of the Yin spirit, right?" Chen Mu frowned.
Before, at the Forgotten River, he did not sense any spiritual power from the other party.
"Hehe, so he is the traffic light you mentioned." Shi Dechun laughed strangely.
What do you mean?
"Glowing eyes are at most a trick, not a magical power."
"At best, it is just the initial awakening of the gifted talent, and it cannot be activated normally at all."
Chen Mu suddenly realized.
But here I am...
His heart skipped a beat.
Although they look similar in all aspects, the true form of the Cloud Mirage Sky Demon is not a real evil spirit after all.
“Besides, if he really awakens his magical powers, he will definitely grow magical ghost patterns and restore his human face.”
"Just his traffic light look, haha..."
Restore the original appearance? Magical ghost pattern?
Chen Mu was stunned.
I do have some ability to confuse gods, but what the hell are magical ghost patterns?
He wanted to ask more, but then he saw Shi Dechun slip under the table.
Chen Mu's face twitched suddenly.
Can't you just finish talking before getting drunk?!
He also said that he has been drinking all his life and never gets drunk.
That's all you can drink?!
Chen Mupi curled his lips, activated his Qi Ban Baili, and threw the sleeping old rascal into the rocking chair at the door.
He sat at the table without moving, slowly chewing some unknown braised meat.
Do you really want to be a ghost soldier?
Chen Mu shook his head secretly.
As soon as he thought of the risk of fighting, he was immediately filled with resistance.
But if I don't become a ghost soldier, it seems that there is no other way to increase my strength.
He accidentally came to the underworld. Although he was temporarily safe because of the demon's true form, this was not the world of the living after all, so he still had to return to the mortal world.
If you want to find the way back, you need strength.
Yin Ming has no earth spiritual energy, and magic power has become a limited consumable and can no longer be used frequently.
"You still have to continue practicing your Yin Spirit power."
"Only by mastering the local forces and deeply blending into the underworld can we better find the way back to the living."
"As for the Yin soldiers..."
"Let's wait until we understand the magical power and ghost patterns first."
……
Two days later, at Guyuezhai, south of Jiugu City.
This is a large trading company in Jiugu City. It is said that the Lord of Jiugu City is behind it.
All the precious items in Jigu City came from here.
As for those Yin Ling spells similar to the Dew Gathering Spell, there is only one way, and that is through Gu Yuezhai.
"Magic ghost patterns? Don't you draw it very well?" An old man with a goatee looked at Chen Mu happily.
"Is this thing a magical ghost pattern?" Chen Mu pointed at the silver vertical line between his eyebrows in disbelief.
"no!"
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned dark.
play me too!
"I just said that your painting looks like the real thing." The shopkeeper with a goatee said with a smile.
"I didn't draw this!" Chen Mu retorted unhappily.
"Oh?" Goatbeard's expression changed: "Could it be that you are that one in a million genius who can condense ghost patterns on your own?!"
Even though Chen Mu had practiced for many years, he still couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
I have the ability to confuse the gods, and these silver vertical lines on my body might really be those damn ghost lines!
After looking carefully for a long time, the shopkeeper with a goatee stood up with a look of sudden realization.
"Is it the magical ghost pattern?" Chen Mu was looking forward to it.
"It's a birthmark!" the shopkeeper with a goatee looked certain.
Chen Mu: “…”
What a birthmark!
You might as well say that I drew it!
Looking at the other person's cheerful expression, Chen Mu's face suddenly turned dark.
This old man is fooling around!
"Do you think you are special and a genius?"
"What a pity, other people think so too, haha..."
"Little bald head, don't let your imagination run wild." The old man with the goat beard laughed: "Wait until you have saved enough jade dew beads to buy the "Flying Flame Sutra", then you can consider the matter of the ghost pattern talisman seed."
Ghost pattern rune type?
"Flying Flame Sutra"?
Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
