The town is paved with white stones, lined with houses, and even has many shops. Everything is antique and gives people the feeling of traveling back to the previous era.
Furthermore, there were large numbers of people loitering in the streets of White Stone Town.
There were vendors setting up stalls, pedestrians hurrying along the road, and children playing.
It sounded peaceful, but when everyone saw this scene, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Because these people are not alive, they are all corpses!
One by one, the corpses resembled ferrymen.
Their eyes had long since become empty, their bodies were shriveled, and their dry skin tightly covered their bones, making them look like mummies dressed in clothes.
Their clothing and accessories were all in the style of the previous era.
The strangest thing is that these people are clearly dead beyond any doubt, yet they behave like living people, some hawking their wares, others buying vegetables, operating exactly like the lives of the living.
"These people are all dead from the previous era. They have been dead for nearly a hundred years, but their bodies have been maintained as if they were still alive under the influence of some kind of force."
Lu Ziming's voice rang out.
"But you don't need to worry. Although these dead people look terrifying, they are not aggressive and you don't need to pay any attention to them."
As he spoke, he slashed at the nearest dead man with his sword.
Whoosh!
The corpse was cleaved in two, its bones scattered all over the ground.
Meanwhile, the other dead people continued to do what they were supposed to do, completely unaffected.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out they were all just for show.
"However, you'd better not attack those dead people who run shops easily, because you need to trade with them. Once you kill them, you can only trade with them the next day after they are resurrected."
"Resurrected? They're all dead, how can they be resurrected?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.
Lu Ziming nodded: "That's right. Not a single tree or blade of grass in Baishi Town can be truly destroyed. Even if it can be destroyed, it will be back to normal the next day. I've been here for three years, and in those three years, nothing has changed at all."
Everyone was amazed; they never imagined that a spatial node would contain such a wondrous structure.
"Who built this town? Could it be something eerie?"
"No, this White Stone Town is a building from the previous era. It has been preserved for some reason. It is like a prison, seemingly protecting everyone, but in reality, it is a place of confinement."
Fang Xiu looked at the orderly Baishi Town thoughtfully. He guessed that the existence of Baishi Town was very likely related to Zhou Qingfeng.
"Imprisonment? What do you mean by that?"
Lu Ziming smiled wryly: "Didn't you mention a problem before? One hundred million ghost coins may seem like a lot, but in reality, as long as you work hard, you can earn one hundred million ghost coins in just a few years."
Killing a single snake-insect is worth one ghost coin. Although this place is plagued by gray fog, even so, a fourth-tier spirit master can probably kill 100,000 snake-insects a day.
Currently, there are about a dozen Spirit Masters in Baishi Town, which means they earn more than a million a day. Even if we take a million as an example, it would only take 100 days to earn a hundred million.
Furthermore, the burial grounds are not only filled with snakes and insects, but also with some powerful monsters, which are even more valuable.
A D-level supernatural item costs 100 ghost coins, a C-level item costs 1,000, a B-level item costs 10,000, an A-level item costs 100,000, and an S-level item costs 1 million.
If you hunt down high-level monsters, the time it takes to raise 100 million ghost coins will be shortened.
Doesn't that sound simple?
Lu Ziming's bitter smile deepened.
Yang Ming said bluntly, "Is that simple? Killing 100,000 snakes and insects a day is strange? I'd be lucky to kill 1,000 a day."
"Yang Ming, get the hell out of here and stop interrupting, that's you!" Li Xiaoru cursed.
"Captain, please continue."
"Let's talk as we walk."
Then, Lu Ziming led the way while explaining, "It seems simple, but it's not. To live in Baishi Town, you need to consume a lot of ghost money every day."
You've probably noticed it too, right? White Stone Town is also filled with gray fog. This gray fog constantly drains the spiritual energy of Spirit Masters, and even fifth-tier experts dare not stay in this environment for long.
Hunting the supernatural consumes spiritual energy, and without rest, anyone would die from exhaustion of spiritual energy.
So, this is where ghost money comes in; look at this inn.”
He casually pointed to an old-fashioned inn by the roadside. It was a two-story building, constructed entirely of solid wood, and was very dilapidated, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
A plaque hangs above, which reads: Yuelai Inn!
"Holy crap!" Yang Ming exclaimed, "Could this be the legendary 'Universal Chain Hotel,' Yue Lai Inn? Its business spans across various films, novels, comics, and more..."
"Hey, Yang Ming, can you stop being so dramatic? This is a town from the last era. The Yuelai Inn only became famous in the last era, and later it spread to various movies and TV dramas," Li Xiaoru scolded.
Yang Ming looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you say you never watch movies or TV dramas, only read literary works?"
"Ahem..." Li Xiaoru blushed and quickly changed the subject.
"Captain Lu, please continue. Ignore this kid."
Lu Ziming was also speechless. He didn't understand how Yang Ming, with such an unconventional personality, could become a Spirit Master.
Being in a burial ground and still laughing and joking like this, aren't you afraid of dying?
"This Yuelai Inn can withstand the invasion of the gray fog, but do you know how much ghost money it costs to stay for one night?"
"How many?"
"One hundred thousand."
