Bai Sitang's words interrupted Jiang Deng's thoughts. Jiang Deng subconsciously turned his head and looked at Bai Sitang.
He wasn't as annoying as she felt at the beginning. He could indeed stay by her side, and when she couldn't defeat the enemy, she could throw Bai Sitang out as bait.
This is what is meant by "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child."
For a moment, Jiang Deng looked at Bai Sitang as if he was looking at a fat sheep, which made Bai Sitang feel a little creepy.
"Jiang Deng, why are you looking at me?"
Bai Sitang quickly reached out to hug himself, fearing that Jiang Deng would take advantage of him, "I don't sell my skills or my body!"
"You misunderstood."
Jiang Deng sighed and said pretentiously, "I just understand your filial piety and can't bear to see you all alone in the ghost realm looking for your mother. Plus, since I happen to have the same name as your mother, I decided to stay in the ghost realm to help you find your mother."
"What?! Are you serious?"
Bai Sitang's eyes sparkled instantly. He rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed for the first time in his life. "You actually agreed to help me find my mother. I don't know how to thank you enough."
Jiang Deng said calmly, "Oh, then you can thank me by giving me tens of thousands of spirit stones. I am not picky about the quality of spirit stones. I will accept both top-grade and superior spirit stones."
Bai Sitang: “…”
His mouth was full of talk about the pros and cons of spirit stones. Jiang Deng was simply obsessed with money!
Jiang Deng and Bai Sitang boarded the Spirit Snake Boat and headed for the Netherworld Ghost City in the south.
On the way, Jiang Deng sat cross-legged on the deck, intending to comprehend the fourth soul in the mermaid pearl, while Bai Sitang was responsible for protecting him.
Of course, she didn't completely believe Bai Sitang, as Demon King Mo Wen was still watching her.
Ever since Jiang Deng took out the Mermaid Pearl from the Eight Gates World, Bai Sitang has been staring at the sparkling Mermaid Pearl in Jiang Deng's hand without blinking, looking as if he was drooling with greed.
Bai Sitang swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively, "Jiang Deng, aren't you only going to use a little of what's in there? Can you give me the rest of the mermaid pearl?"
Jiang Deng nodded enthusiastically and said, "Sure, how many spirit stones do you want to pay?"
Bai Sitang: “…”
Would Jiang Deng die if he didn't mention the spirit stone?!
Without paying any more attention to Bai Sitang, Jiang Deng directly immersed his spiritual consciousness into the mermaid pearl.
The remaining soul of Leng Chaosheng is no longer in the mermaid pearl. The only thing left is the energy accumulated by Leng Chaosheng during his lifetime and one of Jiang Deng's souls in his previous life.
In the past, her soul was divided into seven parts by her seven disciples. Now, this is the fourth soul she has regained...
The faint golden light flowed like a silk thread in the azure mermaid pearl, as if it was a strand of golden thread inlaid in a gem, gently rippling with the water-like energy in the mermaid pearl.
After sensing the approach of Jiang Deng's consciousness, the golden spirit immediately attacked Jiang Deng's consciousness!
In an instant, the soul, along with the energy in the mermaid pearl, poured into Jiang Deng's body.
Sufficient energy flows through Jiang Deng's meridians like a torrent.
“…Hmm!”
Jiang Deng endured the pain in his meridians caused by the energy impact and tried to refine his fourth soul and the energy in the mermaid pearl.
Although the energy contained in the soul has been almost refined by the sixth disciple, the energy in the mermaid pearl of the sixth disciple is really sufficient, so it is not a loss.
The fourth soul and Jiang Deng's existing soul merged with each other. The divine light of the previous life's soul made Jiang Deng's soul more powerful, and even her spiritual consciousness was enhanced.
Not only that, the energy within the mermaid pearl also caused Jiang Deng's cultivation to skyrocket.
The second level of Return to Void Realm!
The third level of Return to Void Realm!
It even showed signs of rising, so Jiang Deng hurriedly stopped absorbing the energy in the mermaid pearl and temporarily stored the remaining energy in the Eight Gates World without refining it.
If you advance too quickly, your foundation will become unstable.
After all, her advancement speed in this life is already terrifyingly fast enough. She has to slow down and lay a solid foundation. As for her cultivation level, it is enough as long as it is sufficient. There is no need to rush too fast.
While storing the remaining energy in the Mermaid Pearl in the Eight Gates World, Jiang Deng's spiritual consciousness also observed the changes in the Eight Gates World.
Of the seven cracks in the sky before, only three remain unhealed. This has also caused the spiritual energy in the Eight Gates World to become more abundant and flow much more slowly.
Not bad, not bad, it finally looks like a big world.
Jiang Deng nodded with satisfaction. If he could get rid of the seventh disciple this time, he would gain another soul!
As for the second disciple? He's also easy to deal with.
The only problem is with the eldest disciple Lin Jun. Lin Jun has not yet recovered her memories of her previous life, so it may be difficult to find out the whereabouts of her soul.
Forget it, don’t think about those things, now the main thing is to deal with the seventh apprentice!
With excitement, Jiang Deng's consciousness withdrew from the Eight Gates World.
She was seen sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Snake Boat, slowly opening her eyes, her pair of black eyes were as sharp as a falcon.
Unlike his unstable state before the retreat, Jiang Deng's aura has become much steadier now, and he seems to be approaching the middle stage of Return to Void Realm. His cultivation speed is amazing.
"Jiang Deng, you've finally finished your training!"
Seeing this, Bai Sitang came over excitedly.
Jiang Deng looked at Bai Sitang warily, "Why are you so enthusiastic?"
“Hehehe…”
Bai Sitang smiled foolishly, and raised his chin towards the mermaid pearl in Jiang Deng's palm, "Well, after absorbing the remaining mermaid pearl, can you give it to me?"
Jiang Deng raised an eyebrow. "Haven't you already seen your mother? She's not dead, so there's no need for you to revive her. So what do you need this thing for?"
"My lord, my lord, I am prepared for any eventuality!"
"Here, it's for you."
Jiang Deng didn't say anything else and directly threw the mermaid pearl to Bai Sitang.
She absorbed everything that could be absorbed, and saved what could not be absorbed. This thing was really useless, and besides, it was left by the sixth disciple, so it would be unlucky for her to keep it.
"Jiang Deng, thank you!"
Bai Sitang had just finished thanking him when he used his spiritual sense to explore the inside of the mermaid pearl. The smile on his face suddenly froze. "Where's the energy inside? How come there's none left?"
Jiang Deng curled his lips and said, "It's good enough that I can leave you a bead. Young people should not be ungrateful."
"...But, what do I want this bead for?"
"It's a mermaid pearl after all. Even though the energy inside is gone, the shell is still very hard and its beauty has not been compromised. If you don't like it, you can keep it and use it as a night pearl to be inlaid on your hat."
The corners of Bai Sitang's mouth twitched wildly. "I'm not bald, why am I wearing a hat? Jiang Deng... I'll just strangle you to death!"
Jiang Deng kicked away Bai Sitang who was about to fight her, raised her head and gestured to look ahead, "Okay, stop making trouble, the ghosts of the underworld are here."
The fog ahead suddenly dissipated, and a huge ancient city in a simple, dark-colored color came into view.
