Chapter 326 The Muttering Jade City Lord
"May I ask your names? We were mistaken just now, please don't take it to heart."
"We two, having spent most of our time in the City of Rebirth, are rather unsophisticated, which is why we made such a fool of ourselves!"
One of the ghost messengers looked apologetic, feeling that the two of them had been a bit too arrogant at first, and then tried to make amends.
After all, the few people who possess these magical items are not people they can afford to offend.
Once we arrive in the City of Rebirth, the city lord and other powerful figures from the upper realms might all come to visit.
Upon hearing this, another ghost messenger quickly echoed:
"Yes, yes! We were blind just now. Why don't you gentlemen come with us to the City of Rebirth now? In this desolate wilderness, apart from those evil spirits, there are no other ghost cultivators."
All the newly born ghosts, as well as ghost cultivators, reside in the City of Rebirth! If you're doing business, there are more people there!
Gu Xinyan roughly guessed what the two ghost messengers were thinking about their change of attitude, and she didn't react much to it.
Since they've come all this way, they can't possibly keep a low profile. They might as well go all out and be high-profile.
Who knows, it might actually attract the Ghost King, and that way we could find out about the Rebirth Fruit.
Otherwise, if they had to search on their own, the Ghost Realm would be so vast.
They only have two months here; if they were to search each domain one by one, it would take even longer.
So if we could attract all those important figures, it would be a good thing, at least it would save us a lot of trouble. He replied with a smile:
"It's alright. We're new here too, so some misunderstandings are to be expected. It would be wonderful if you two could guide us. We'd really appreciate it if you two ghost messengers could help us!"
Upon hearing this, the two ghost messengers couldn't help but show joy on their faces, but they dared not accept the title of "sir," and waved their hands repeatedly before walking out of the store first.
Seeing this, Gu Xinyan and the others hurriedly followed, and the shop was naturally put away. This scene surprised the two ghost messengers once again.
After all, such a large house could be stored away so easily; it must be some kind of extraordinary artifact.
As a result, the two ghost messengers became even more respectful to Gu Xinyan and her companions.
On their way to Shengcheng, they didn't forget to send a message to their city lord, informing him of everything they had experienced during this time.
Lord Yu of the City of Rebirth: "........."
Looking at the information on the communication token in her hand, she was filled with questions.
Could it be that the work of capturing evil spirits has been too frequent lately? What kind of illusion have these two developed?
How could any living person come from their ghost realm? If anyone did, it would be a soul that was mistakenly captured. A living person? That's absolutely impossible.
Look at this Ghost King, really, he didn't have many ghost minions to begin with.
Not only were some of them transferred away, but they were also made to capture those evil spirits. Now they wish they could use one ghost messenger as several ghost messengers.
Even she was so busy that she wished she could split herself in two, working non-stop every day.
Look, now look what's happened. He's even gone insane, and now two ghost messengers have appeared. Lord Yu felt a pang in his heart.
You should know that to become a ghost messenger, one must undergo rigorous testing, but good candidates are snatched up by powerful families as soon as they pass the test.
Even if there are any leftovers, they will be distributed to various cities. Her City of Rebirth is a city on the very edge of the Ghost Realm. By the time the remaining ghosts are distributed, there may be nothing left.
Speaking of this, she felt a little depressed. Logically speaking, their City of Rebirth was the first stop for receiving newborn souls.
The first stop for the souls of all the dead will be their City of Rebirth. Only after successfully cultivating into a ghost cultivator can they travel to the Nine Realms.
Over the years, she has tried to persuade some promising talents, but they are often snatched up by those guys, which has resulted in a lack of fresh blood entering their City of Rebirth.
However, the existing ghost messengers are still sufficient, so although Lord Yu was unhappy that those guys had snatched away the promising talents she had her eye on.
But we also know that water flows uphill, and since she doesn't have many resources here, it's normal for those promising talents to go elsewhere.
Recently, the Ghost King has gone crazy and insists on carrying out large-scale construction in Ghost King City, saying he wants to build a Ghost King City for the new century.
I don't know why she came back like this after going away for a while. I couldn't stop her, and she's acting strangely.
Saying that the Ghost Realm is too backward and can't keep up with the trends of the mortal world is really speechless. The Ghost Realm has always been like this! This is its unique feature!
Not only did he take away many of her ghost servants, but he also made the few ghost servants she had left help him capture evil spirits to take back as free labor.
Look at her subordinates now, they're so exhausted they're hallucinating, saying they saw living people with a bunch of strange things.
Thinking of this, City Lord Yu shook her head helplessly. Well, now that those two little ones are back, she, as the city lord, should go and check on them, and give them a break so they can get some rest.
After all, she was a good city lord. She couldn't possibly make her subordinates catch ghosts while they were sick, since catching evil spirits was a long-term job anyway.
Besides, the Ghost King's side won't be short of one or two evil spirits for the time being, so let's take it slow. It would be terrible if his subordinates were all driven to mental illness by exhaustion!
So she ordered her men to prepare carriages and horses, and with a few capable assistants, she headed towards the city gate of the City of Rebirth.

Blue Star
Yunyang Island
Having received the news long ago, Commander Zhang and his group were already waiting inside the dimensional shop's clone. This teleportation was somewhat special, unlike the previous ones.
In fact, Commander Zhang did not expect that Gu Yatou and her team would bring back several technical talents after going on an emergency mission.
They were overjoyed when they heard the news, since they could only study cultivation and didn't know much about alchemy or weapon crafting, even the sect leader.
So they have always been self-taught, but without a mentor, they inevitably take many detours.
But now things are great. This time, Gu Yatou and the others have tricked... no, invited back several people, all of whom are level nine technical talents, and they are not all the same type. It couldn't be better.
They've prepared the classrooms and are just waiting for the teachers to arrive.
Of course, although the teachers are somewhat special, they can only reside in the noodle shop's clone for the time being.
