A Stack of Spirit Money

The faint morning light slowly shines into the mountains and forests.

The light also reached the Small Mountain Village.

Most of the villagers had already gotten up and started their day's work.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, life in the Small Mountain Village remains monotonous and simple.

In the Small Courtyard.

Li Fan woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes, reached under the covers, and touched the Little White sleeping soundly against his waist.

The kitten usually doesn't dare to climb onto the bed, but when it's drunk, it becomes very clingy and insists on sleeping with him.

Li Fan has gotten used to it now. Fortunately, Little White is very well-behaved. Even when it scratches people, it doesn't bother them and seems to just want to stay quietly by his side.

I got up and went outside; the sun was shining brightly.

With the help of disciples such as Su Baiqian and Nan Feng, Li Fan finished washing up.

Gongya has already prepared breakfast for everyone.

Today's breakfast was a bit more substantial than usual, consisting of simple eggs, rice porridge, and soy milk, as well as loach meat.

"Master, the grapes have sprouted!"

Lu Rang the plants in the yard early in the morning, and he was delighted to find that the grape seeds he had buried had already sprouted tender vines as tall as a palm.

The Kirin Tree has long been revitalized and is now as tall as a person. Its pale golden leaves are quite unique, and little Kirin often wander around under the Kirin Tree.

The Divine Blood Grass grew incredibly lush, Unquenchable Tree grew ever stronger...

Even Wu Dade discovered that his Melting Gold Tree had grown rows of fine thorns!

Holding it in my hand... it's very prickly!

It seems that many rare plants have grown in a single day.

Li Fan was also quite surprised, as he had estimated that the grapes would take some time to sprout...

However, it's a good thing overall.

"Oh, right, Master!"

At this moment, Wu Dade suddenly slapped his forehead and said:

"I forgot something..."

"Um, um... there are a few ghosts waiting outside the village."

"They seem to be here... to have a tooth pulled!"

Need help getting a tooth extracted...

Upon hearing this, the group of disciples were somewhat stunned.

A bunch of ghosts, waiting to have their teeth pulled?

Something feels off...

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Ziling and Yunxi.

Their gazes seemed to say, "What exactly did you two do to the ghosts?"

Li Fan was also having a headache. What was going on? Had ghosts come knocking on his door?

Feeling everyone's gaze, both Ziling and Yunxi felt a little guilty.

"We... we only plucked a few ghost teeth..."

Yunxi whispered.

Ziling nodded and said:

"Master... I guess, just like sheep's wool needs to be sheared regularly, ghost teeth also need to be pulled regularly? That's why these ghosts came here seeking help?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately thought that Ziling was quite clever.

Why didn't I think of that... It must be what Ziling said.

Otherwise, why would a perfectly healthy ghost come to ask for a tooth to be pulled? It's not like it's a lunatic or a masochist.

He nodded and said:

"Who would have thought that ghosts in this world could have such peculiarities... Never mind, let's help ghosts for fun. You can go after you finish your meal."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi and Ziling immediately became excited.

"Don't worry, Great Devil King, we'll definitely help the ghosts and pull out all their teeth so we can eat chilled watermelon sooner!"

At this moment, Xin Ning suddenly spoke up, saying:

"Big Brother, can I go with Sister Yunxi and the others to take a look?"

Her big eyes blinked.

As Devil Race, she was eager to learn about this world through these ghosts and spirits of the Yang Realm.

After all, in the Yin Realm, demons and ghosts are similar in some ways.

Furthermore, when cultivating immortality, Devil Race can enhance their cultivation by devouring ghosts.

Li Fan thought for a moment. These ghosts didn't seem to be extremely vicious spirits. His curiosity was understandable. He said:

"Can."

Xin Ning said happily, "Thank you, Big Brother."

Soon, breakfast was finally finished, and Yunxi, Ziling, and the others couldn't wait to go out.

"Ziling,"

At this moment, Li Fan suddenly spoke up, saying:

"Go ask Second Uncle for some paper money to burn for the ghost."

Li Fan has never believed in ghosts or gods, so he doesn't engage in feudal superstitions. But now that ghosts have actually appeared, he thinks it's best to do as the locals do.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing to have pulled out quite a few of those ghost teeth.

Upon hearing this, Ziling said:

"Yes, Master, we understand!"

Soon.

They passed by Second Uncle's house, where Second Uncle was calling out to Ming Tianbei, who was drinking tea under a fruit tree.

"Second Uncle,"

Ziling stepped forward and said:

"Our master told us to ask you for some paper money."

Upon hearing this, the Second Uncle put down his teacup and asked in bewilderment:

"Paper money?"

"What, is someone dead, or is it haunted?"

"If it's haunted, Second Uncle's house has peach wood nails passed down from our Old Ancestor. I'll go find them for you right now!"

Ziling hurriedly Shi Dao:

"No, no, there were a few pitiful little ghosts, and Master said to give them some paper money to send them away..."

Peach wood nails? Although she didn't know what kind of treasure they were, her intuition told her that those ghosts couldn't handle them...

Upon hearing this, the Second Uncle finally understood and laughed:

"Okay, your Second Uncle will look for it for you."

After a short while, the Second Uncle rummaged through his belongings and found a stack of paper money, saying:

"Take it. There haven't been any ghost stories these past few years, so we don't need this."

"Years ago, this paper money was a treasure. When the foggy weather came, there were so many ghosts that no one dared to leave the village. Everyone relied on burning paper money... It's only in the last few years since Xiao Li came that the village has become peaceful..."

Second Uncle kept rambling on and on.

"Second Uncle, let's go."

Ziling spoke, and they left.

Outside the Small Mountain Village, the starving ghosts and other ghosts were still trapped in the ghost realm left behind by the Gui Qi monster, and they were all extremely anxious.

"When will Gui Qi Realm finally lose its effect...?"

"No... something must have happened to the Ghost Lord..."

"We can't drive away the Gui Qi realm of Guiqi!"

They tried their best, but still couldn't get out.

Gui Qi's strength was already greater than that of other ghosts. In addition, with the great fortuitous opportunity he had in the Yin Dark Origin of the universe and the deathly aura of the Demon Refining Lake in the Great Fortune Star Realm, the benefits he gained were second only to Heavenly Darkness, thanks to the four Life-Saving Talisman of "being a good ghost"... Therefore, his ghost realm was unshakable by many ghosts.

"Huh? Where are those ghosts?"

Just then, a clear and melodious voice came from the village entrance.

Immediately, all the ghosts hurriedly turned their heads.

"Tooth Extraction Monster, help!"

The starving ghost immediately cried out loudly, trying his best to reveal his form.

--The Ghost Realm is extremely mysterious; it cannot be seen unless one enters it.

Upon seeing the starving ghost, Yunxi and Ziling were both delighted and stepped forward.

"Your teeth grow so fast?"

"You can speak without a lisp now."

Ziling spoke with delight, realizing she hadn't been wrong. These ghosts' teeth grew too fast, so they needed to be pulled regularly; otherwise, wouldn't the ghost teeth pierce their mouths?

Yunxi also said:

"Where are the other ghosts? How come only you are left?"

She remembered that the ghost named Heavenly Darkness had better teeth.

The Path of the Starving Ghosts:

"My two benefactors, something terrible has happened! Last night, the Ghost Lord suddenly left, saying there was an anomaly outside the Great Ruin Realm..."

The ghost general recounted what had happened.

"Ah... that ghost can't be harmed."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi and Ziling immediately became anxious.

That ghost has high-quality teeth; it wouldn't be good if something happened to it.

"My two benefactors, please help us break free from the Gui Qi realm of Guiqi, and we will take you there."

The Long-Tongued Ghost also spoke with hope.

Now we can only turn to these two Tooth Extraction Monsters for help.

Yunxi and Ziling immediately took action, but when they unleashed their Law Power, the earth cracked open, yet the Ghost Realm remained completely unmoved.

At this moment, Xin Ning, who had come out with Yunxi and the others, suddenly spoke up:

"The Ghost Realm exists in a mysterious and unpredictable place; for those not within it, the Ghost Realm is as if it doesn't exist..."

"Sister Yunxi, you cannot break through this ghost realm."

"Let me."

After she finished speaking, she stood with her hands behind her back. Although she looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, she had an aura of dominance over the world and actually stepped into that ghostly realm step by step.

Wherever she went, the ghostly realm vanished!

One by one, the ghosts were released.

"What happened? Gui Qi's Ghost Realm has been broken?"

"Impossible... In the Divine Realm, only the legendary Celestial Masters have a way to break through the Ghost Realm..."

The group of ghosts were all somewhat shocked. Could this little girl before them actually be a great celestial master?

"No... no..."

At this moment, the starving ghost looked somewhat terrified and said:

"The ghostly matter wasn't broken apart... it seems, it was absorbed by her..."

"She is... a demon!"

His voice trembled slightly.

Upon hearing this, the ghosts were terrified.

Yesterday, they had already seen a group of demons scavenging for trash in the village, which had already shocked them. Now, witnessing the power of the Devil Race firsthand, they were even more horrified.

Legend has it that the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm are very similar, and there are even rumors that the king of ghosts can be called the Demon King...

"Furthermore, according to records, before the Devil Realm was destroyed by the combined forces of the Divine Realm and the Western Brahma Sect, the Ghost Clan served as food for the Devil Race Clan..."

All ghosts and spirits inspire the utmost awe and reverence in Xin Ning.

Everyone knows that the Devil Race Realm's secret territory was long ago eradicated by the Divine Realm and the Western Paradise, and the Devil Race were wiped out completely. Now, a powerful being has actually emerged from this unfathomable Small Mountain Village...

How could they not be afraid!

"Sister Xin Ning so amazing!"

Ziling spoke.

"Quick, take us to find the other two ghosts."

Yunxi then said.

"My benefactors, please come with us!"

The starving ghost hurriedly spoke.

A group of ghosts immediately led the way.

--They can sense the aura of the Gui Qi and the Ghost Lord.

Yunxi and the others immediately followed.

And at this moment.

Outside the Great Ruins Star Wheel.

A vast sea of blood, a deathly aura soaring to the heavens.

Two ghostly faces, one large and one small, a mad devourer!

"Gui Qi... run! I'm about to go berserk!"

Within the ghostly eyes of the Dark Ghost Lord, a murderous intent surged. His face was ferocious and twisted, and the four characters on his forehead had completely lost their Law Power and could no longer help him.

"Ghost Lord... you go first, I'll take over here!"

"I can still hold on... the words the Tooth Extraction Monster gave me, I can still use them..."

Gui Qi spoke with difficulty; in fact, the words on his forehead were almost no longer effective.

However, he wanted the Ghost Lord to leave.

The Dark Ghost Lord said with difficulty:

"I have been tainted by the Netherworld Origin, and I have planted the seed of certain death in my heart through the self-destruction technique... I command you, get out!"

"Get back to the Ghost Realm!"

He roared, then suddenly raised his hand and, with all his might, grabbed Gui Qi, saying:

"Get out of here while the words above your head still protect you!"

A fierce ghostly hurricane formed in his hand, which swept Gui Qi away.

"No..."

Gui Qi reached out, trying to grab the Ghost Lord, but was powerless to do so.

All he saw was the Dark Ghost Lord give him a strained smile and wave.

Saying goodbye.

Then, the last glimmer of clarity in Heavenly Darkness's eyes vanished at that moment.

He turned around, and the Netherworld Origin he had accumulated erupted forth.

"Roar--"

A ghostly howl, carrying an aura of endless slaughter, echoed throughout the universe.

The Dark Ghost Lord had completely lost himself, and he suddenly plunged into the ocean of deathly energy.

When the death energy is completely refined, that will be the time when his soul is scattered and his spirit is destroyed.

This was a thought that had taken root in his heart.

Even though he had lost all clarity and become Nether Slave, this thought still sustained him and allowed him to resist the endless death energy!
