Have you been hungry for a long time?

Once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they can abstain from grains.

However, some cultivators enjoy experiencing the joys and sorrows of the mortal world firsthand, and they retain their appetite just like humans.

As for the Bigu Pill, it is a tasteless and bland thing that many cultivators dislike.

But it's true that it's filling.

This was the first time Lu Wu had ever seen a cultivator starve to the extent that Zhang Yue had.

"Oh, I don't have any money."

She had already used up her last fasting pill.

She got lost on her way to the sect after receiving their order, and what should have been a two-day journey took her half a month to complete.

The little resources he had were completely drained to feed his own little devils.

She had endured so many days, and just when she was about to give up, she happened to come across this pancake stall.

In Zhang Yue's eyes, Lu Wu was a living Bodhisattva.

The kind-hearted Lu Wu noticed the other person's poverty and made him a pancake for free.

"This pancake is delicious! I'm Zhang Yue from the Ghost Sect. What's your name, boss?"

“My name is Lu Wu, but they all call me Boss Lu.”

"Mr. Lu..."

Zhang Yue licked her lips and fingers with lingering satisfaction, wanting another pancake after her hunger had subsided.

But she couldn't even afford ten spirit stones.

Not wanting to get something for nothing anymore, Zhang Yue had an idea that popped into her head.

"Can I trade this for a pancake?"

As she spoke, Zhang Yue took out a large bag, reached inside and rummaged around, pulling out a dark, lumpy object.

The object instantly grew larger after being released, eventually transforming into an adult ghost that floated in front of Lu Wu.

He was a hanged man.

His tongue was sticking out so long it was almost dragging on the ground.

His eyes, which had rolled upwards, moved slightly, and his gaze focused on Lu Wu.

"I'm very easy to take care of; one pancake a day is enough."

"The hanged ghost said shyly."

As Zhang Yue's ghost, they share a common sense of taste. If it weren't for the contract binding him, he would definitely have stolen his own keeper's pancakes.

In an attempt to curry favor with Lu Wu, the hanged ghost curled his lips into a cruel smile that could terrify anyone.

...

Lu Wu, who was suddenly attacked face-to-face, almost choked on his breath and felt dizzy.

She resisted the urge to fall asleep immediately and waved her hands vigorously, wishing she could transform into a whirlwind.

"No need, no need, I can't raise ghosts."

Benefactor, please quickly cease your supernatural powers.

Seeing a ghost in broad daylight would be terrifying.

Sensing Lu Wu's resistance, Zhang Yue regretfully put away the hanged ghost.

hateful!

The plan to find a new caretaker for these ghosts has failed again.

How did these old, weak, sick, and disabled ghosts end up in her hands? The dignified senior sister of the Ghost Sect has been eaten into poverty by her own ghosts. Where can she go to seek justice?

In the Azure Realm, if a ghost wants to become powerful, besides absorbing Yin energy for cultivation, it can also be sacrificed by its owner using precious items or food containing spiritual energy.

But all these things have to be bought with spirit stones.

To support her forty-nine ghosts, she hadn't changed her mandarin duck-patterned bodice for years.

The more Zhang Yue thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt. She looked at Lu Wu and wanted to rush over and hug his leg.

This pancake has spiritual power, and the key is that all her little ghosts like it, crying and begging to eat it.

The most important thing is that it's cheap.

You don't have to raise ghosts, just raise me, Boss Lu.

Finally, Zhang Yue reluctantly took out a dark stone, about the size of a palm, which looked like a pebble but had intricate golden patterns on it.

Those patterns don't look like they were carved later; they're a seamless whole.

"Boss Lu, can I trade this for some pancakes?"

Zhang Yue asked.

expression……

Oh, you can't see any expression with facial paralysis.

"This is a Soul Gathering Crystal."

Lou Xiaotian recognized the item and quickly realized what was happening, giving Lu Wu a meaningful look in front of Zhang Yue.

Take it!

This is what Lou Xiaotian conveyed.

Soul-Gathering Crystals are a type of rare and precious natural treasure.

This type of crystal is naturally able to stabilize the soul.

If a person's soul is guided into a Soul Gathering Crystal at the time of death, they can temporarily escape the cycle of reincarnation. Then, using the Soul Gathering Crystal as a vessel, along with other rare and precious materials, a new body can be formed.

This thing could give a cultivator a second life; if it were on the market, it would be something people would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on.

Even Lou Xiaotian was tempted, but he knew his own limitations very well.

Lu Wu was tempted but did not agree.

This kind of thing, let alone these pancakes, even if you sold her, you might not be able to afford to lose it.

Offering something beyond its value only suggests that the other party has ulterior motives.

"I hope Mr. Lu will accompany me in a ritual. Rest assured, I, Zhang Yue, guarantee with my life that there will be no danger."

Ghost cultivators believe in fate.

To meet in such a place, and knowing that the other person's food has a special effect on ghosts, Zhang Yue had a feeling that she was finally about to cross the threshold she had always faced.

Paying for a Soul Gathering Crystal is truly worthwhile.

"Say yes."

As Lu Wu hesitated, the voice of Grandpa Li popped into her mind.

Li Rusui Xing's words restored Lu Shenzhong Wu's confidence.

"good."

Lu Wu agreed.

The rest is easy: just make pancakes, make pancakes, and keep making pancakes.

With a wave of the spatula, steaming hot pancakes were produced, their enticing aroma captivating Zhang Yue, and even drawing the attention of the blind old man at the village entrance.

Sensing the restlessness of her little devils, Zhang Yue ruthlessly suppressed them.

Zhang Yue's eyes glanced discreetly at the village not far away, but Lu Wu did not notice the seriousness in her eyes.
