This is the vast amount of Netherworld power that dissipated after Chunmenggui's death; it will completely disappear in just a few minutes.
Xia Tianqiong quickly grabbed dozens of gold ingots from beside the bed and scattered them throughout the room, absorbing the power of the underworld and transforming them into underworld currency.
Three or four minutes later, most of the Netherworld power was absorbed, and a small portion dissipated.
Xia Tianqiong counted them; there were a total of 48 gold ingots, all of which had been converted into ghost money, though they were of slightly different sizes.
Some shrank to the size of a peanut, while others were as big as an apple.
As the power of the underworld dissipates, the concentration varies throughout the room. The more underworld power the gold ingot absorbs, the greater its weight becomes, and vice versa.
"Looks like I need to buy an electronic scale, otherwise I won't know how much gold there is."
Xia Tianqiong held a gold ingot in each hand, weighing it in her hands, but still couldn't estimate its weight.
After all, he had no experience in this area.
"Master, I have experience. I can tell how heavy it is just by touching it."
The delivery guy's big head suddenly floated out from his chest, grinning slyly with a fawning expression.
Xia Tianqiong thought it made sense. The strange creature had a very accurate sense of ghost money, so he let it crawl out of its body and weigh each gold ingot in its hand.
Five minutes later.
“Master, the smallest weighs 2 taels, the largest weighs 56 taels, and the total is 485 taels.”
"so much!"
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat prepared, but she was still quite surprised.
485 taels of gold is equal to 4850 taels of silver. If converted to paper money at a ratio of 1:1000, it would be 4.85 million yuan.
This is a huge sum of money!
I never expected that killing a Wild Ghost-level Spring Dream Ghost would yield so much ghost money.
It seems I'll have to hunt more strange creatures in the future.
A pile of gold ingots of various sizes lay on the bed, and the whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
The delivery guy squatted by the bed like a lapdog, drooling involuntarily from the corner of his mouth.
It looked up at Xia Tianqiong and said with a grin, "Master, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten. How much ghost money do you need to restore things to their previous state?"
Xia Tianqiong was in a good mood and answered very readily.
"Hmm... Fifty taels of gold would be enough to restore me to my full strength. If you give me all of that, I could probably advance to the level of a fierce ghost."
"If you advance to the level of a fierce ghost, how much will your trickery improve? Will it give rise to new rules of death?"
The supernatural can level up by absorbing or devouring ghost money.
As the level increases, the trickery one possesses also improves. In addition, each level up may bring new rules of death.
The delivery guy was stunned for a moment, not expecting Xia Tianqiong to know so much about them.
"The Door Opening Technique can open doors faster, and the Netherworld Delivery can produce a greater quantity and variety of food. As for the rules of death, it's difficult for us Delivery Ghosts to create new rules."
Xia Tianqiong was slightly disappointed.
Wild Ghosts are indeed the lowest-level monsters, with little value in cultivating them. Instead of wasting so much ghost money, it's better to use it for something else.
"Here, take the biggest one. We'll upgrade it when we have more ghost money later."
He casually picked up a piece of gold about the size of an apple and tossed it to the delivery guy.
The delivery guy was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything.
"Eeya eeya!"
Suddenly, the ghost baby ran out, pointed at the takeout ghost, and then pointed at the braised pork ribs in the corner.
Xia Tianqiong laughed and said, "Okay, I'll let you eat your fill."
The ghost infant can also absorb ghost money, but it prefers food made from the power of the underworld.
Xia Tianqiong then threw several dozen taels of gold to the delivery ghost, which absorbed it and condensed various foods every day for the ghost infant to eat.
"Master, you're being unfair!"
The delivery person muttered something, but had no choice but to obediently do as they were told.
Next, Xia Tianqiong continued to lean against the headboard, folding paper ingots, waiting for the strange thing to come to her door.
But they waited until the afternoon, and it still didn't come.
"It's possible that when Chunmenggui died, the Netherworld power it emitted alerted other monsters, making them aware that this place could kill Wild Monster-level monsters, so they dared not come over."
Xia Tianqiong made this guess.
"Since you won't come looking for me, then I'll come looking for you!"
There must be something strange around here, but we don't know where it's hiding or if it's harming other people.
Xia Tianqiong activated the trick "Shadow Teleportation," and all the shadowy places in the rooms above, below, left, and right appeared within his perception range.
It's not that I want to teleport there, but rather I want to observe other people's shadows to determine if there's anything unusual about them.
For example, at this moment, he sensed a figure lying motionless on the bathroom floor downstairs.
The bathroom is so dirty, no normal person would lie down there.
They either collapsed from a sudden illness or were killed by some mysterious force.
With a thought, Xia Tianqiong instantly appeared in the shadows behind the bathroom door downstairs.
Peeking out from behind the door, I saw an old man lying on the ground, his hair white and his body withered, his eyes empty and lifeless.
"This is because its entire lifespan has been mysteriously drained!"
Xia Tianqiong immediately realized that there were indeed other strange things in this building.
Sensing the surrounding shadows again, I suddenly noticed something unusual in the next room.
A woman, also in the bathroom, her upper body shadow swayed wildly, but her lower body shadow remained completely still.
It's unlikely that a normal person would do such a thing; it's highly probable that they're being controlled by something supernatural.
