The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 533 New Characters, New Missions

As for how to handle it, Shenxian'er didn't want to think about it.

Li Changzhou had no experience.

When he was an ordinary person, he had no such worries; his house along the river was a proper, modern courtyard.

Moving into the "Honey Pot World," the giant tree can absorb all the filth, including animal excrement from cows, sheep, pigs, and deer, and even leftover food.

The immortal lit a calming incense stick and opened the "Complete Guide to First-Order Talismans," hoping to find a solution.

"I wonder if there are any that can conceal one's appearance," she muttered to herself, her slender fingers turning the pages of the book.

Although I had only glanced at it once before, I didn't remember everything.

[Hidden appearance?] Li Changzhou asked curiously.

Shenxian'er paused for a moment and said, "I'm too beautiful. Master Liu asked me to warm his feet, and Weng Liang also said he liked me. It's quite troublesome. Besides, I don't know if Nizi will be unhappy when she hears this."

[Xian'er, you can conceal your appearance, but what about your cultivation level? They've cultivated for over ten years and are only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. You've only reached the sixth level in three months. Are you going to stop and wait for them?]

If you don't diligently cultivate yourself, you'll only face death in the future.

As for them, they will drift away from you sooner or later, regardless of their appearance. Giving you the data panel is already giving them a chance; it's up to them to see if they can seize it.

"Okay, I'll still try to figure out how to deal with the toilet..."

Shenxian'er suddenly turned her head and looked outside the cave.

She felt she was being watched.

Only then did she realize that she was all alone in the underwater cave, and she couldn't help but feel afraid.

Is it a cultivator undergoing tribulation?

She mustered her strength, drew a thunderbolt talisman, and, clutching a golden light talisman, left her cave and went into the large cave.

She slowly walked towards the cave's water curtain, peering out through the light barrier of the array.

There was nothing there.

But when she turned around, a pale face was pressed against the light barrier of the array, staring at her back without any expression.

Her hair was tangled in the water, her body was pockmarked and mangled, and she was naked. She was the female cultivator from before.

The person who should have been blown to bits by the water bullet talisman has actually reappeared!

She hovered outside the light barrier, coldly staring at the fairy's back.

Gradually, the face began to distort and become ferocious.

She actually passed through the array's light barrier, stepped into the cave, and approached Shenxian'er.

Having just drawn the Thunderbolt Talisman, the immortal was unable to concentrate and instead of returning to his private cave, he pondered important matters of life.

She walked all the way to the very back of the cave.

"I wonder if Xiaoyue Nizi has completed the mission." She looked at the stone tablet.

The female cultivator, three feet off the ground, floated slowly toward her from behind.

[Task 1: Slay a vengeful ghost (Reward: 1 point)]

[Task 2: Be the first to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining (Reward: 1 point)]

[Task 3: "How can I tolerate others snoring beside my bed?" - Slay three late-stage Qi Refining water demons (Reward: 1 point)]

【Task 4: Develop a new profit channel (Reward: 1 point)】 (Recipient: Jiang Xiaoyue)

【Task 5: Kill and steal once (Reward: 2 points)】

"The tasks of 'recruiting new people' and 'earning the first batch of spirit stones through fishing' have disappeared. Little Yue Nizi is doing very well." Shen Xian'er examined the stone tablet.

"Slay a vengeful ghost? My lord, is it the kind that's hanged?"

The ghosts that mortals become after death are ordinary ghosts; only the ghosts of cultivators can be considered vengeful ghosts.

"Oh." The fairy nodded. "How exactly are ghosts formed?"

[Who knows? In any case, it's not something like resentment, anger, or bitterness; otherwise, ghosts would be everywhere, and Weng Liang would be the one to become a vengeful ghost.]

"Weng Liang?"

After being reminded to this extent, Shenxian'er finally realized what was happening.

But she still didn't expect that ghosts could penetrate the formation, or rather, Jiang Xiaoyue didn't consider ghost protection when she bought the formation.

This formation is completely useless against ghosts.

Therefore, she subconsciously assumed that the vengeful ghost would be outside the formation and did not use the Golden Light Talisman immediately.

She had just turned around.

Whew!!

The stench of blood, mixed with the foul smell of silt from the bottom of the lake, hit me in the face.

A hand, indistinguishable as either rotten or blown apart, gripped the immortal's neck.

The touch was extremely cold, like two blocks of solid ice.

The vengeful ghost opened its mouth, and countless fragments of blood and flesh floated out, rushing towards the immortal's eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth like vengeful spirits.

Grabbing him with both hands by a vengeful ghost, a chill surged into his body, his dantian seemed to freeze, and he couldn't mobilize any spiritual energy.

A chilling wind swept through the cave, cutting like knives against human skin, and even the immortal's brows turned frosty.

As the blood foam floated to her nose, filled with the stench of decay and mold, Shenxian'er was filled with extreme fear.

In shock and anger, his spiritual power finally loosened.

Snap!

The vengeful ghost's already fragile hands were crushed by her.

"Cough...cough..." Shenxian'er coughed uncontrollably while covering her mouth to prevent the vengeful ghost's flesh and blood from entering her mouth.

With the other hand, he slapped down the golden talisman.

"Ah!!" the vengeful ghost roared, crashing into the fairy.

Golden light outlined around the fairy's body.

boom!

The vengeful ghost crashed into it and shattered completely, filling the entire cave with bits of flesh—a truly gruesome scene.

The pieces of flesh suddenly coalesced into a vengeful ghost.

The vengeful ghost had mostly returned to human form. It gave Shenxian'er a sinister and vicious look, then turned and rushed towards the cave exit, disappearing into the lake.
