“Why? Of course, there are ghosts!”

Caiyi, who had risen from bed, was combing her waist-long hair and laughing as she spoke.

“Didn’t Senior Sun tell you?”

Luo Chen was taken aback, “Ghosts?”

Caiyi tossed her long hair back, “Why are you so surprised? It’s quite normal for us in the Immortal Cultivation World to have ghosts!”

Yes, indeed!

This is the Immortal Cultivation World, not Earth, why should I be surprised?

“It’s well known that the Inner City is haunted by many ghosts.”

Caiyi explained all this, anyone who has lived in the Inner City for a while could basically tell a thing or two about it.

The Yu Ding Realm was truly established only three hundred years ago.

Before then, this vast territory used to be part of the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains.

Four hundred years ago, the Yu Ding Sword Sect launched a massive campaign, depleting massive resources for an Open War, in which sixteen Sects participated.

Among them, seven were Ascendant Sects with Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators! Presently on the map of the Six Realms of the Far East, the Great Sects from the other five realms also sent in a large number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivators.

After a century of persistence, it was three hundred years ago that they finally established this Realm.

That hundred-year Open War was an intense battle between humans and demonic beasts, fighting fiercely over every inch of territory, with countless casualties.

In the end, it concluded with the victory of the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

Even though they won, they were left with a huge mess.

Like, all kinds of ghosts, whether human or demon beasts, mixed together, almost turning this territory into the Ghost Realm.

In the face of this situation, all the Great Sects had mature coping strategies.

Various means of soothing souls, eliminating souls, and collecting souls were shifted through endlessly.

For some incredibly powerful ghosts that could not be eliminated in the short term, a method of suppressing and eroding them was adopted.

Many of the large markets in the Yu Ding Realm suppress numerous powerful ghosts, including those of the Ghost General and Ghost King Level.

Why was Inner and Outer City established in The Great River market?

Actually, it is to gather the Spirit Qi of the spirit vein and use it to erode the ghost spirits being suppressed underneath.

“Our place, specifically, happens to suppress a ghost of the King level. Especially that Reverse Room you’re living in, it’s located at the Array Eye and is quite filled with Yin energy.”

Caiyi stared at Luo Chen with a smirk, waiting for the lad to reveal a scared expression.

However, Luo Chen was not a fool.

If old man Sun dared to rent the room to him, and Caiyi dared to live in this courtyard, it means there is no danger.

He thought for a moment and asked, “Is it a male ghost or a female one?”

Caiyi was taken aback. Recovering, she spat out a word, “A lustful ghost!” After making a joke, she continued seriously, “You don’t need to worry about anything. The grand array was laid out by a Golden Core Ascendant Master, based on the Inner City and using the power of the spirit vein. The Ghost King can’t affect our life and cultivation, at most it might feel a bit cold when sleeping.”

“Huh, I, a Fourth Level Qi Refinement Great Cultivator, how can I be afraid of the cold!” Luo Chen was full of confidence and his smile was that of a true cultivator.

Caiyi laughed, then got up.

“Well, I have to go to work now, how about we chat tomorrow morning?” Go to work at this time?

Luo Chen looked at the setting sun in confusion.

“Excuse me for asking, what work do you do?”

“I dance at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, come by when you have time!” Caiyi left with a cheerful smile, leaving a faint fragrance.

Watching the graceful figure of his neighbor, Luo Chen could only imagine how attractive she might be when dancing.

Regrettably, this big man here can’t afford it!

Luo Chen returned to his room. After a thorough cleaning and an afternoon of airing, it finally didn’t smell odd anymore.

Earlier, his neighbor Caiyi, who lives in the main house, even gave him a piece of musk.

She said that as long as you burn it in the incense burner, it not only smells good but also keeps insects away.

“Without an incense burner, burning it in a bowl works just as well.”

Luo Chen lit the musk and began to take things out of his storage bag. Actually, there wasn’t much in there, other than various medicinal materials and some cookware.

Some of the items still had traces of being burnt.

Last night’s battle had collapsed half of his house.

Only by using a Little Cloud Rain Talisman was he able to extinguish the fire. The possessions he managed to salvage from the wreckage were not many! Almost all of the medicinal materials he had painstakingly arranged that afternoon had been destroyed in the fire.

Only his bedroom and kitchen were spared.

The only consolation was that the valuable main ingredients were all stored in his storage bag and hadn’t yet been touched.

After calculation, his losses were substantial, amounting to exactly one hundred and eight Spirit Stones!

But his gains were also significant!

The first cultivator to die had provided a set of Medium Grade Magic Tool, a Jade Sword, which surprisingly was a flying sword with a wood attribute.

It comprised of one mother and six sons, forming a formation when together. Given enough time to form the array, it has the power comparable to an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool.

It suits him perfectly.

Besides the flying sword, the Spirit Stones in the cloth bag amounted to one hundred and fifty.

It could be said that just this inheritance alone was enough to compensate for

Luo Chen’s losses, making him a big fortune.

The more powerful cultivator he had strangled was even more incredible!

An Ascendant Grade Flying Sword, Lower Grade Flying Magic Tool – they would be hot items if sold.

But Luo Chen hadn’t figured out how to deal with them yet.

After all, these things were scorching hot!

That guy was probably a Fifth Level Qi Refinement Stage cultivator, but he had a slew of great things.

The Fierce Sun Talisman he used to destroy the house, and the Teleportation Talisman he used to make his entrance.

He wore an Ascendant Grade Robe with inner armor and wielded an Ascendant Grade Flying Sword. He even had a Guarding Earth Shield Talisman.

If we add the Lotus Leaf Flying Disc, this flying magic tool, he could be said to be armed to the teeth.

This level of luxurious equipment is rarely seen by Luo Chen in the Outer City.

If not for the other party underestimating him and his access to the Soul Breaking Nail inscribed with a Second Order Array that could breach armour, enabling him to launch a surprise attack, he’d certainly be the one killed.

But having killed them is no big deal, Luo Chen had long become indifferent to this.

Of course, considering the adversary’s deep background and potential retaliation, Luo Chen immediately dealt with the traces at the first opportunity, then quickly retreated into the Inner City.

Those traces could not be concealed for long.

But buying even a day was still a day won. His enemies surely wouldn’t dare chase him into the Inner City, would they!

The rules laid down by the Yu Ding Sword Sect weren’t something anyone was willing to challenge at the cost of their lives.

Caution is necessary for the time being. Moreover, the lost medicinal materials need to be replenished as soon as possible.

Only by earning enough Spirit Stones can he break free from the current slow pace of his cultivation.

After taking everything out, Luo Chen glanced at the spacious room.

“When buying medicinal materials tomorrow, I might as well get some shelves to partition the space.”

“I need to buy a winnowing basket, pestle, peach wood, and rosewood as well.” “Oh right, I have to buy a chamber pot too!”

Before cultivating, Luo Chen started missing his old place with a yard, a playground, and a stream.

There, he could relieve himself without a care.

Not like now, where the money spent on nightly incense was enough to cover his two months’ rent in the past.

But such grievances disappeared completely after a round of execution of the Longevity Technique.

“Is this the charm of the First Order Spirit Vein?”
