Chapter 0005: Making a Fortune
Having exited the manor, there were still some ghostly beings lying unconscious on the ground at the entrance. Their strength was too weak, and Qin Yang was too lazy to gather them up again. After lighting a stick of incense, enveloped in the smoke, he began to stride forward, running wildly towards the outside.
Although the investment is considerable, the harvest is also significant. The season of harvest has arrived, and the farmers are wearing honest smiles. Qin Yang smirked subtly as he walked through the courtyard, collecting all the storage bags from each of these ghostly beings.
Casually opening a few storage bags, they contained only some first-grade spirit stones, or perhaps some low-level medicinal herbs, all of which were produced near the Yin Huai Ghost Tomb. These herbs are suitable for growth in environments rich in Yin energy, and their quality is not high, at most worth a few tens of spirit stones.
At this moment, turning back to take a look, one could see a small archway about one zhang high above the tomb, inscribed with the three large characters "De Fei Zong".
One must know when to stop in order to live longer; being too greedy may indeed be fatal
After completing all of this, Qin Yang hurriedly left the Yin Huai Ghost Tomb and followed the path back to Qinglin City
163 low-level ghost soldiers, 32 intermediate ghost soldiers, 9 high-level ghost soldiers, 18,000 spirits, and a complimentary piece of advice, how about that
The black old ghost placed his hand on the urn, and after just a few breaths, his seemingly lifeless, drooping eyelids suddenly lifted, gazing intently at Qin Yang, while a hint of a sinister smile appeared on his lips
If it were not for the need for a period of time for the spiritual fragrance to take effect, I would not have arrived here; only after the spirits have relaxed their vigilance would I dare to use it
It is a pity that after several decades, this old ghost still looks the same, and everyone has become accustomed to it
In addition to that Bodhi incense, when mixed together, it possesses a significantly enhanced ability to catalyze the spiritual fragrance, yielding even greater benefits; however, this intoxicating aroma may also become more pronounced.
The thought flashed by, and Qin Yang quickly dismissed it, hastening away from the place. When he reached the edge of the Yin Huai Ghost Tomb, he casually found a piece of vacant land and buried the two previous clients there.
Now, looking at the pile of ghostly beings lying on the ground, Qin Yang could not help but feel a surge of anger, wishing he could eliminate these ghostly entities
Qin Yang, feeling a sense of regret, casually set the female ghost aside, much like a decorative pouch, and after writing a note and placing it on the table, he left without looking back
Qin Yang casually placed the urn on the table, then took a step back, indicating for the old ghost to look for himself
After a little calculation, it seems that nearly one month's profit has just vanished like that
A ghost soldier, and one that is quite similar to a living person, clearly possessing exceptional qualities, starting at least from 3,100 spirit points
The total value is still less than that of the storage bag
Turning back to the backyard, I looked at the female ghost lying on the bed in deep sleep, sighing with a face full of regret
Unfortunately, this is merely a thought. Spiritual incense indeed has benefits for ghostly beings, but it is evident that these spirits are all impoverished souls who have likely never experienced such luxury. As the spiritual incense is ignited in abundance, they surely do not realize that consuming too much at once brings great benefits, yet it is akin to being intoxicated, leading to a state of confusion and potentially causing them to fall into a deep stupor.
This time, I came to find this old ghost because he is a specialized dealer in ghostly items with a good reputation. Moreover, since my current shipment is somewhat large, I feel uneasy about dealing with others. This old black ghost is the most trustworthy. After all, if those ghost soldiers wake up, that would be a troublesome matter
"Black Old Ghost, receive the goods." With a low shout, an old man dressed in a funeral garment emerged from behind, his face gloomy, surrounded by a swirling aura of darkness, looking nothing like a living person
Before long, a thin mist began to rise, and the manor behind me vanished from sight. In its place was a sinister and strange tomb, guarded by stone beasts on either side. The entrance to the tomb stood wide open, and after traversing a tomb passageway of several dozen feet, I finally returned to the surface.
Let's calculate the price
Recalling that the 23 incense sticks had just disappeared, Qin Yang felt a pang of regret. To the west of Qinglin City lies a mass grave, along with a burial site that has existed for at least several thousand years. The presence of numerous spirits is significant, and there are indeed many cultivators who specialize in controlling and nurturing these spirits, making incense quite scarce.
However, Qin Yang was well aware that this old ghost had maintained the appearance of being on the verge of stepping into a coffin for several decades. It was said that decades ago, this old ghost had already donned a burial garment and prepared a coffin for himself, just waiting to take his last breath
What a pity
Qin Yang was too lazy to look any further. After putting everything away, he took out an urn from his storage bag. The urn was gray and appeared to be covered with a layer of dust, making it look quite inconspicuous. However, this item was a genuine middle-grade magical artifact, the best magical artifact in Qin Yang's possession
In the blink of an eye, over 2,000 spirits have vanished, causing Qin Yang's heart to tremble with pain
Qin Yang curled his lips after casually opening and glancing at a few.
"The De Concubine?" Qin Yang was slightly taken aback, pondering that within a radius of three thousand miles around Qinglin City, there were no mortal kingdoms. Whose concubine could this De Concubine be?
Refreshing, the advice is that you should not go to the Yinhuai Ghost Tomb again in the future, otherwise, you will die a very miserable death
A stick of spiritual incense, from the selection of materials to the final shaping of the incense, followed by air-drying and nurturing, even if one's skills are commendable, it takes at least one month to produce a finished product. The price is fixed at 110 spirit stones per stick, which is considered a high-end product in the general store, a top-tier item.
I did not expect it to be of great use this time
This time, we made a significant profit
Unfortunately, this female ghost has already reached the realm of ghost soldiers. By the time she awakens, the urn will likely be unable to contain her. Moreover, with over 200 ghost soldiers of varying strengths inside, they will definitely be able to break free from the urn, and at that point, it will be the end for me
Low-level ghost soldiers, average price fifty-one spirits, mid-level ghost soldiers, average price two hundred, high-level ghost soldiers, average price five hundred... Qin Yang picked up the ghost soldiers from the ground and tossed them into the urn while muttering to himself. After throwing all the ghostly beings scattered in the yard into the urn, he calculated the total price and couldn't help but break into a broad smile.
A big business indeed
This time, instead of heading directly to the west of the city, I took a detour to the south and arrived at a secluded coffin shop.
Adding that piece of Bodhi incense mixed with the fragrant essence, the profits of forty days have vanished
They really are a bunch of poor wretches
It is also something that was obtained from opening equipment before, called the Ashen Urn of the Accumulated Years. Apart from containing ghostly entities, it has no other function. Previously, I did wander around the Wandering Graveyard and captured some wandering souls, but unfortunately, the price of these souls is too low, not even enough for a meager living. To capture ghostly soldiers, one would have to enter the realm of the Yin Huai Ghost Tomb, which is too risky. In the end, this urn can only be left to gather dust in the storage bag
"Deal." Qin Yang calculated slightly based on the average price, and found that this price was not unreasonable; even the old black ghost needed to make some profit.
