"However, Yellow Springs Ghost Qi is rarely produced even within blessed lands of the Yin Realm, and you need quite a lot of it.
Hehe, you're probably planning to take a different path, aren't you?"
Silver Fairy seemed to have guessed something and said casually, clearly enjoying the show.
"Normally, if one wishes to obtain large amounts of Yellow Springs Ghost Qi, there are only two options: either break into the ghost kingdoms of the Yin Lands in this realm and seize their reserves, or kill Yellow Springs Ghost Kings with Great Ascension cultivation and take it from their Aperture-Opening Ghost Pearls.
Other than that, there is no other way!"
The Aperture-Opening Ghost Pearl Luo Hong spoke of was something within a Yellow Springs Ghost King similar to a Demon Core. Generally speaking, the more apertures it had opened, the more formidable its divine abilities were.
Once it reached the ultimate number of nine and spiderweb-like patterns appeared on its surface, the ghost could attempt the ascension tribulation—and would stand a good chance of succeeding!
"Opening apertures is the crucial step for Fusion ghosts to advance into Great Ascension ghosts.
In other words, Void Refinement ghosts already possess rudimentary ghost pearls, while the ghost pearls within Fusion ghosts are already nearing completion!
You know Little Black Ball's abilities, Fairy. As long as there are enough of these unopened ghost pearls, Luo can easily refine sufficient Yellow Springs Ghost Qi!"
"After all that, aren't you just planning to kill ghosts to raise a ghost? Then why hide out here? Why not simply cause a huge disturbance in the Ghost Market that day?"
Silver Fairy asked in considerable confusion.
"Hehe, although Luo only gave it a cursory sweep with divine sense that day, I discovered a powerful aura within Five Viscera Peak.
