Chen Xiaosan suddenly turned around and saw Boss Gu and his second brother standing at the door.

"Second Brother, you found out too? Boss Gu told you?"

"I knew it the moment I saw you; you're the only one among us single guys who came with a girlfriend."

The Yin-Suppressing Mark in the Hu Mang's eyes lit up, and the image of a female ghost was reflected in the glass mirror opposite Chen Xiaosan.

It was a female ghost. She wore a faded red dress from who-knows-when, the style was old and the edges were washed white. Her hair was disheveled and covered half of her face; on the half of her face that was exposed, her skin was as pale as paper, her eyes were sunken, and her lips were dark purple, making her look like she had been starving for a long time.

The moment she appeared, the Yin Qi in the entire men's restroom rapidly increased, the temperature plummeted, a thin layer of frost condensed on the surface of the wall tiles, and the color temperature of the fluorescent lights seemed to be lowered by several degrees, making the light pale and cold.

As a result of the frost, the female ghost in the glass mirror seemed to move slightly—her figure began to distort slightly, like a reflection in water being ruffled by the wind, and her originally still posture began to tremble unnaturally.

Chen Xiaosan quickly warned, "You two be careful! Although this female ghost is only an ordinary Ghost Level, I suspect she has mastered a murder rule!"

He paused, then his tone became urgent. "Boss Gu, quickly pull out your greatsword and kill her!"

"I didn't bring my sword," Gu Yunshu.

"And for the time being, I can't lend you to slay the demon," Hu Mang added immediately.

Just kidding. To Liberation by Violence that Immortal's Palm, not only would Gu Yunshu's swordsmanship need to reach the level of "Liberation by Sword," but his ancient sword would also need to undergo special adjustments to reach the state of "Liberation by Violence." Before that, there is a series of taboos, the biggest of which is that it cannot be exposed to Yin Qi.

It wasn't just ordinary shattering; every flying shard of glass seemed to transform into a sword intent imbued with Sha Qi in mid-air.

The sword intents were as fine as rain, yet each one precisely locked onto the same target, shooting out simultaneously from all directions without leaving any blind spots.

The look of fear flashed across the face of the vicious, ravenous female ghost.

Before she could even scream, her figure vanished like a burst bubble, turning into Yin Qi just before the sword intent closed in, as if it had never existed.

The next moment, she appeared in reality.

The surrounding environment seemed completely unchanged.

This was clearly beyond her comprehension, and a hint of confusion appeared in her Ghost Eye.

Hu Mang grinned, took a step forward, and in the next instant, rolling dark clouds spread from his body throughout the entire room.

Unlike Gu Yunshu's pure sword intent, Hu Mang's dark clouds were real and contained authentic Daoist demon -Demon-Subduing True Intention.

With each step the Hu Mang took, the glass, the floor, and the ceiling began to bulge outwards; not the kind of shattering caused by a heavy object hitting it, but a bizarre sight as if space itself was avoiding his steps and actively expanding outwards.

His footsteps weren't heavy, but with each step, the entire structure of the restroom groaned, as if it were about to collapse completely under the invisible pressure.

"We're already being kind enough to save you, and you're still whining. Besides, bringing a female ghost with a rule for killing to dinner, you really don't consider us outsiders."

Chen Xiaosan gave a dry laugh.

"Actually, it's not that serious. I've done some research. As long as this female ghost has food to eat, she generally won't activate her killing rules."

"So what's going on?"

Hu Mang grabbed the "Shattering Thunder" and it disappeared in a bolt of lightning, disappearing directly into his Storage Bag. He then gestured to his Old Third with his eyes.

On the toilet floor, there was still the female ghost's belongings—a red veil.

The Old Third casually picked up the veil, stuffed it into his pocket, and looked somewhat puzzled.

"That should be the case, so why is she acting strangely?"

"It might be my fault," Gu Yunshu explained. "When I looked at the things the second brother gave me during the day, my sword intent was slightly stimulated. When you got close to me, I might have lost control and stimulated her."

Upon hearing this, the Old Third immediately shuddered, his eyes widened, and he took three steps back, retreating behind the Hu Mang. He was trembling all over, even more terrified than when he had just witnessed the female ghost resurrect.

"Boss, didn't you manage to control your sword intent years ago? How come it's acting up again? This is going to kill you!"

In fact, not only me, but many of the selectees in the Immortal Ladder Project received invitations, though some were in different departments and some in different positions."

So, you have it too?

Hu Mang looked at Gu Yunshu.

Gu Yunshu nodded. "That's right, I refused."

"You guys are making me really awkward. How come you were all invited, but I was left out?" Hu Mang muttered to himself, scratching his chin.

Oh no, that's not right!

He remembered that on the night he graduated, the Wood Element professor who taught him the Dragon-Suppressing Stake even sent him a message to congratulate him, saying that if he couldn't find a job in the future, he could come directly to him.

Then Hu Mang believed his mother's rumors and went off overseas to dig up graves.

That departure lasted five years.

"..."

So that's what happened.

"Alright, congratulations on joining the system."

Then this guy kicked the bucket.

Hu Mang suddenly realized that, indeed, one cannot have it all, or one will end up like that fellow, dying from exhaustion.

His mother wanted to save him, but it was too late.

Just as the brothers finished off the female ghost and went back to drinking, several unusual links suddenly appeared on the official forum of Electronic Wooden Fish.

Many users, bored out of their minds, clicked on it and were astonished to find that it was actually a cracked version of this Cultivation Method software.

Even more amazingly, this cracked version actually contains the evolution of the next version of the "Bodhi State of Mind" Cultivation Method.

And without a doubt, while they were relaxing, someone else was working overtime.

Because the "Mystic Shield Sect" has begun its offensive.
