"There are many ways for ghost cultivators to preserve their Soul Bodies and maintain their intelligence—for example, increasing their cultivation or absorbing spiritual power from between heaven and earth. Of course, to them, sinister energy is the best tonic. That is also why there are so many ghost cultivators in the Azure Ruins Battlefield!"
The Crow said this indifferently.
"Then why did that old ghost want so badly to devour the flesh and blood of Xu Ci and the others just now?" Lin Bai asked with a frown. After defeating Xu Ci and the others, that old ghost had looked incredibly ferocious, seemingly coveting their flesh and blood especially greedily.
"It's nothing strange. What does one naturally want most? They don't have fleshly bodies to begin with, so they yearn to possess them. That's why... they crave flesh and blood. Some ghost cultivators even kill martial artists and keep their corpses as collectibles." The Crow said this with a sly grin.
Lin Bai suddenly understood, then asked with a frown, "What does that have to do with the Ghost King who has cultivated for many years on Monarch's Slope?"
The Crow smiled. "Think about it. Who knows the Azure Ruins Battlefield best? Who knows that person inside out? Who can find the best treasures?"
"Neither of us has lived in the Azure Ruins Battlefield for long. We've just arrived here, with no support and nowhere to turn. If we want to find treasures, we can only run around blindly. If our luck is good, perhaps we'll find a few decent treasures. If our luck is bad, we'll inevitably return empty-handed!"
Lin Bai's eyes flashed with radiance as he said, "You mean we should find the Ghost King on Monarch's Slope and have it lead the way?"
The Crow laughed excitedly.
