A faint golden light flashed in the air.
A series of afterimages appeared before Lu Wu's eyes, floating in mid-air and revealing their forms.
The ghosts, who were supposed to retain their grotesque appearances from their gruesome deaths, had their appearances restored by the replenishment of spiritual energy.
Disfigured people recover, those with severed limbs are reborn, and those with dementia regain their senses...
Among them, Lu Wu saw the hanged ghost from before.
But now he no longer had that terrifying appearance and had become normal.
I must say, he's kind of handsome.
When the eyes of the human and the ghost met, Lu Wu's brainwaves were received normally this time, and the hanged ghost thanked Lu Wu.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"The pancakes are delicious. I'll come back to find you again in eighteen years, Mr. Lu."
Lu Wu: ...There's no need for that.
"I've gotten stronger again, Little Moon. Let me lead the charge from now on, hehehehe."
The chaotic sounds of the ghostly figures converged, and they landed on the ground, slowly bowing in the direction of Lu Wu.
Some of the ghostly figures became more solid, their auras growing stronger, while others dissipated, choosing to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Pale golden light and ghostly aura intertwined to form a magnificent and spectacular picture.
It's beautiful.
"Oh my god, they're finally gone. My wallet should be a bit fuller now."
Zhang Yue's words, however, somewhat ruined the atmosphere.
Seeing some ghosts let go of their obsessions and enter the cycle of reincarnation, Zhang Yue, who had been complaining about how edible the ghosts were, showed a hint of relief on her face... no, in her eyes.
For ghost cultivators, the closest beings are not their sect disciples, but the ghosts who accompany them day and night.
Most ghosts are too attached to their own existence and are unwilling to leave.
Zhang Yue tamed ghosts not by force, but by keeping those ghosts with too much resentment around, which not only had no effect, but also required frequent offerings.
This strain was almost too much for Zhang Yue, who came from a prominent family.
It can only be said that the disciples of the Ghost Sect are destined to be with ghosts, and one by one they have all become poor ghosts.
This will send away more than a dozen ghosts, and another group of ghosts will regain their sanity and be able to communicate, which is great news for Zhang Yue.
With reduced pressure and a sense of liberation, Zhang Yue experienced a sudden enlightenment.
In an instant, the situation changed dramatically.
Numerous spiritual energies swirled above Zhang Yue, forming a funnel-shaped vortex, with a large amount of spiritual energy pouring down.
Zhang Yue's cultivation level at the early stage of Nascent Soul was gradually increasing.
The spiritual energy in the surrounding area was almost completely drained.
This unusual occurrence drew the attention of some villagers in Xiaohai Village.
They were amazed by the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when the cultivators were practicing; the immense power they possessed moved even them, mere mortals.
When Lu Wu turned around, she saw an extremely conflicted expression on the face of the blind old man.
Lu Wu, who had no intention of taking down the boss, glanced away slightly, her eyes flickering.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long. After Zhang Yue's cultivation reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual energy dissipated.
"Hahaha, I've gotten stronger again! Let's see who dares to challenge me in this year's Grand Prix!"
Look up, hands on hips, and laugh!
A blank, expressionless face that neither smiles nor laughs can't be saved even with increased cultivation.
After collecting all the remaining ghosts, Zhang Yue rushed to Lu Wu's side and grabbed Lu Wu's hand.
"Boss Lu, from now on you're like my own sister. If you point east, I'll never go west."
"Even if you asked me to go back and beat up my master, I would do it without saying a word."
If she hadn't met Lu Wu today, she wouldn't know when her cultivation would have improved, given the many ghosts she carried.
Not to mention that many ghosts were converted.
This assistance represents a huge cause and effect.
Zhang Yue is not afraid of cause and effect.
Besides, for the sake of those pancakes, it wouldn't hurt to bear a little more of this karma.
"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad..."
Lu Wu gave a dry laugh.
She asked Zhang Yue to do what her master and uncle did, and then she encountered Lu Wu, who was laughing at his disciple. Seeing Zhang Yue eagerly becoming tool number five, she "reluctantly" agreed.
However...
"Who's stronger, you or Qin Zhan?" Lu Wu asked curiously.
She didn't know much about these prodigies, but with enough resources, these exceptionally talented individuals, who were also from major sects, had cultivation levels that ordinary cultivators couldn't match.
This Grand Gathering of Prodigies is the opportunity for these people to put their skills to the test.
"Well, it's probably a 40/60 split."
"I am four..."
Faced with Lu Wu's probing, Zhang Yue smiled shyly, bringing her thumb and forefinger close together, almost touching, to express the gap between herself and Qin Zhan.
Lu Wu understood.
It seems that the position of the "tool person number one" is still very secure, which is great news.
"Achoo!"
Qin, who had just arrived in Yuanhai City, sneezed loudly.
"It must be that old man, Master, scolding me."
"A rebound!"
Qin Zhan said confidently, then cursed back in his heart.
With that, Lu Wu's first day of setting up a stall came to an end.
I glanced at the system and was pleasantly surprised.
[Task Progress: 57/2000]
The progress is impressive; those ghosts have all become her clients.
This made Lu Wu suddenly realize the truth.
In places like this where ghosts are easily encountered, if there are no normal customers, she might as well find some ghost customers to help her with tasks.
After figuring it out, Lu Wu packed up his stall, exchanged contact information with Zhang Yue, and said goodbye.
Zhang Yue still had other things to do.
After Lu Wu left, a figure appeared beside Zhang Yue.
It is City Lord Shan Ji.
Her appearance did not alarm the people of Xiaohai Village.
"How is the situation?"
As Shan Ji asked Zhang Yue, both of their gazes fell in the direction of Xiaohai Village, their expressions visibly solemn.
