Chapter 340: Ghost Body Advancement
"So... I am really the throne of God?"

"Or should I sit high?"

For a moment, Liu Bai was so surprised that he hardly dared to believe it. This was too smooth, so smooth that he could hardly believe it.

But after thinking about it, he understood.

The reason why it is so difficult for others to ascend to the throne is that they are restricted and bound by this world and its rules.

But what about yourself?

Just a boast.

Part of the origin of the world is in my body, who dares to stop me?
Who can stop me?
Therefore, it is only natural for me to have the throne of God.

And at this moment under the night sky, after Liu Bai completely ascended the throne, his entire shrine was emitting dazzling golden light.

But this golden light only lasted for a moment before he completely restrained it.

Sitting on the shrine, he could smell the wisp of divine incense, which was extremely pleasant. Every time he breathed it in, he felt a refreshing and smooth feeling.

And sitting here, he even had a feeling of being in control of the world.

In front of him, all beings seem to bow down.

He is the god who controls this world. Whoever he wants to die will die!

"No wonder so many people are thinking about the throne. This feeling... is really wonderful."

Liu Bai was aware of his state of mind at the moment. Even the geniuses from the eight great families seemed to be talking nonsense when they stood in front of him.

Death is just a thought for him.

If I want to crush a shrine while I am sitting high on the throne, it is no different from crushing an ant.

After only sitting on the shrine for a short while, Liu Bai could clearly feel his blood and energy slipping away.

It is not without cost that I sit high on the shrine, and what I consume is my own energy and blood.

The consumption is still huge.

After experiencing the beauty of the deity sitting high, Liu Bai put away his shrine and floated down into the courtyard from mid-air.

He had originally wanted to share the joy of the throne with Madam Liu.

But at the last moment, I found out that Madam Liu had already returned to the house.

It was just me, there was nothing to congratulate. Madam Liu's ordinary treatment also calmed Liu Bai down.

Just turning around again, Liu Bai saw an exquisite flower basket placed on the stone table in the backyard. Above the flower basket was a magic circle, and inside the magic circle were several blood lotuses stacked together.

Those blood lotuses on Baijia Mountain.

The blood spirit lotus that can upgrade one's ghost body!

The last time the ghost body was promoted was when he returned from the Bai family. It has been quite some time now.

Liu Bai distributed all the attribute points on the panel to the human body to nourish his qi and blood.

As for saving it for ghost body advancement... basically don't even think about it, you can't save it at all.

In addition, the ghost body was more than enough for use in the previous battles, so Liu Bai had no intention of using it.

Now that the power of the ghost walker has increased again, he can strengthen his ghost body again.

When he thought of this, Liu Bai turned his head and looked inside the house, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

My mother seemed indifferent to me and didn't say anything, but in fact she was always concerned about my practice.

She didn't say it, but she did it.

Now that he had obtained the Blood Spirit Lotus, Liu Bai did not wait any longer. He planned to swallow it early tomorrow morning.

It took more than a month to advance to the sixth level of ghost body.

If you want to advance to the seventh-level ghost body now, it will definitely take longer.

Moreover, the further you go, the closer you get to the forbidden siege, and the more things you will encounter, so the sooner you get promoted, the better.

……

At the same time, on the top of the Western Great Wall.

The old marshal and Zhang Cang both looked in the direction of the incense and candle shop.

In the eyes of the two, Liu Bai's golden shrine was slowly dissipating. The old marshal sighed softly: "Liu Bai is only six years old."

"If the world knew that the six-year-old master was sitting high, how would they survive?"

Zhang Cang added: "Actually, she is not even six yet. She will be six in a few months."

"You have stayed in Huangliang Town for some time before, right?" the old marshal suddenly asked.

Zhang Cang knew what he wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to say, "This is the result of being suppressed by Liu Wudi for a period of time. Otherwise, he would probably have become a god by now."

"There is a reason for suppressing others."

The old marshal remained silent.

That is until the next day.

After getting up, Liu Bai first told Madam Liu that he was going to swallow the Blood Spirit Lotus today. Madam Liu said it was okay.

Liu Bai went to the top of the city wall and asked for leave from the old marshal.

He said that he needed to practice and might be delayed for a month or two. The old marshal naturally agreed and even kindly asked if he needed any help.

As for the matter of the Fire Mansion, Liu Bai handed it all over to Zhang Cang.

Although he was in charge of everything, this time was a little different. Liu Bai needed to go into seclusion and it was unknown how long it would take, so all the matters in Chuanhuo Mansion fell on Zhang Cang during this period.

In other words, he, the fire bearer hiding behind the scenes, is finally coming to the fore.

Liu Bai didn't say anything else as there was no need.

Before returning to the backyard of the Red Candle Shop, he took out the Blood Spirit Lotus. Last time, he swallowed three flowers in one breath, but there were still some less. In the end, it was Madam Liu who helped him get enough.

So this time she prepared seven flowers.

Liu Bai's body turned into a ghost. He sat cross-legged in the yard and ate three flowers in one breath. As a result, he found that there was only a slight chill in his body.

Not much has changed.

"It seems that this time the promotion is indeed much more difficult. If I rely on the panel to accumulate it, I don't know how long it will take to accumulate enough."

Liu Bai couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind. If there were no taboo on the Eastern Expedition, it would only take him a few years or even decades to save up.

But now with external pressure, I naturally cannot just live with these few attribute points.

Just as he swallowed the fourth Blood Lotus, there was finally a slight change in his body. A cold aura spread throughout his body, making him feel comfortable but also with a chilling fear.

I'm afraid this promotion won't be as easy as I thought...

When Liu Bai was about to swallow the fifth blood lotus, Madam Liu had already appeared in front of him.

This made Liu Bai feel at ease.

After swallowing the fifth Blood Lotus in a few gulps, Liu Bai was already shivering, and even his forehead, eyebrows and hair ends had begun to freeze.

Even the lightning in the two horns on top of his head seemed to be frozen.

"Not enough, keep going."

Madam Liu's cold voice was heard, but Liu Bai no longer had the strength to even pick up the Blood Spirit Lotus. He felt as if all the bones in his body were frozen, and even his thoughts could not keep up.

Madam Liu raised her hand and the Blood Lotus was fed into Liu Bai's mouth.

He didn't even need to open his mouth, the blood lotus seemed to turn into a liquid and flow into his body.

The feeling of coldness became more intense.

Liu Bai also became completely motionless, and his entire body seemed to have turned into an ice sculpture and stopped in place.

However, this ice sculpture was far from taking on its last shape. At least it only stayed inside his body and had not yet spread out to the surrounding areas.

The little grass squatting on Lady Liu's shoulder poked its head out and muttered, "Madam, you seem to have underestimated the young master. These seven flowers are not enough."

"How difficult is this?"

Madam Liu casually took out another blood lotus, but this blood lotus was still a bud and was far from reaching the standard of maturity.

The Blood Spirit Lotus was suspended in the air, and Madam Liu's right hand was suspended in the air above the Blood Spirit Lotus.

A drop of blood fell there, and the Blood Lotus, which was originally a bud, instantly blossomed, even more beautiful than the naturally mature Blood Lotus.

"My queen, you..."

Xiaocao couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she saw this scene.

But Madam Liu didn't feel anything. She just pushed forward and the two blood lotuses seemed to turn into blood and flow into Liu Bai's body.

In an instant, the sky seemed like a cold winter with white snow falling.

Madam Liu took a step back and came to the gate of the yard. When she looked again, she saw that Liu Bai had completely turned into an ice sculpture.

Outside of its body, within a radius of three feet, a huge ice sculpture formed.

Liu Bai never thought that the Zou Yin City would not be able to function without him, so he disappeared for four or five days in a row, and Hei Mu and A Dao ran to Chuan Huo Mansion to ask Zhang Cang.

After receiving the news, Hei Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to practice. Once Liu Bai started practicing, he would be free.

So he went south to the Endless Sea with the Xuandao Officer overnight.

There is a chance for the two great ways to join forces.

As the day of the forbidden eastern expedition drew closer, changes gradually took place in Zouyin City, and the people passing by became more and more hurried.

There are more and more people who are breaking taboos and walking into the Yin City.

Most of them came back to replenish some Yin beads or pills and talismans, and also to show their gains during this period. At most, they would rest for one night before going to the forbidden area again.

The biggest feeling that Xu Changsheng and Guan Shanyue had during this period was that... there were fewer people drinking here.

However, the number of people buying wine did not decrease at all, and even increased. However, after buying wine, they would not drink leisurely at the door of the wine shop, but leave in a hurry.

"I want to go to Taboo, too."

Seeing that there were not many customers in the shop, Guan Shanyue squatted at the door and spoke.

"Don't think about it. You are fine as a Yin Yang God in the inner city, but in this Yin City, you are just a little brother."

Although Xu Changsheng said this, when he looked to the west, there was no less hope in his eyes.

He also wanted to take a look at the taboo, but his strength was still limited to the five energies.

He is even worse than Guan Shanyue, so there is no need to mention any taboos.

"What about you? How is the senior who told you last time that he wanted to take you as his disciple?" Guan Shanyue asked curiously.

"I haven't seen him. He must have gone to the forbidden area."

Xu Changsheng was not disappointed. This thing was a blessing if I got it, and it would be my fate if I lost it. It was something that could not be forced.

"Then this trip will take more than a month..."

Guan Shanyue spoke in a lower voice. Generally speaking, those who went to the forbidden place would return in half a month at most, and it was rare for them to be delayed for more than a month.

So this situation...

Guan Shanyue also quickly changed the subject, "How is Lin Dandan doing? There should be no problem with the fusion of yin and yang before the forbidden expedition to the east, right?"

"I think it's possible."

Xu Changsheng scratched his head and also felt the pressure.

Lin Dandan has already reached the level of Yang Shen, but he is still only at the level of gathering the five qi, although Lin Dandan always comforts him and tells him not to worry.

But how can we not be anxious about such a thing?

"Well, since she rejected that master for you, you deserve to treat her well. Don't let her down."

After Guan Shanyue finished speaking, he patted Xu Changsheng on the shoulder, stood up, and went back to the tavern to greet the guests.

"That's for sure."

Xu Changsheng naturally knew very well what Guan Shanyue was talking about.

This also happened a month ago. At that time, a goddess in Zouyin City took a liking to Lin Dandan and wanted to take her as her disciple.

But the prerequisite is that Lin Dandan must let go of Xu Changsheng and not have any more contact with him.

Firstly, the God felt that Xu Changsheng’s talent was too low, and the two of them being together would affect Lin Dandan’s progress.

Secondly, it is because of the magic practiced by the throne, and the prerequisite of that magic is to ensure a pure body.

After hearing the request of the man who was walking on the throne, Lin Dandan refused without any hesitation.

Thinking of this, Xu Changsheng felt a little warmer in his heart, and he thought of Liu Bai again.

If Liu Bai had not placed Lin Dandan and her brother in his house, he would never have had this marriage opportunity.

"Xu boy, there are guests coming, why are you still in a daze?"

Inside the tavern, the old drunkard's urging voice was heard. Xu Changsheng quickly responded "Okay" and turned to go into the shop.

But such peaceful days only lasted for the last ten days.

Ten days later, the old drunkard gave them a large sum of Yin beads and sent them away.

The old drunkard said that he had gone to work in Chuanhuo Mansion, and the tavern was closed down.

The next day, the news was released in Chuanhuo Mansion.

From now on, everyone going through Yincheng and Yangguan must accept the dispatch of Chuanhuo Mansion, but those who disobey can leave within three days. After three days, the orders of Chuanhuo Mansion will be above all else and those who violate them can be executed.

As soon as this news came out, a murderous atmosphere instantly spread throughout Zouyin City.

The ghost walkers who were originally wandering around the streets disappeared immediately, and were replaced by many fire messengers wearing armor and holding swords.

There were some familiar faces, but many more I had never seen before.

Someone familiar with them said that they were troops drawn from the Qin State, and each team knew how to use combined attack tactics to kill people without parallel.

They were the ones Zhang Cang had assigned to maintain stability in Zou Yin City. On the other side, the original Fire Messengers in the Fire Palace were holding lists and walking around the streets looking for people.

is the day.

Xu Changsheng was swallowing the Yin Pearl at home, and Lin Dandan opposite him was doing the same, but there was a Yin God behind her helping her.

The two of them didn't disturb each other, and only looked up at each other occasionally when they took a break.

If their eyes met, they would smile at each other.

"Boom-"

"咚咚-"

Someone knocked on the far door.

Xu Changsheng and Lin Dandan looked at each other and could see what was in each other's eyes.

coming!

The ghost walkers who stayed in the city were being transferred to various places in the past few days. Some went to the paper figurine workshop, some went to make pills, and some were even arranged to dig trenches in various places in the city. No one knew what their purpose was.

Now, the task of arranging the work has finally fallen to Xu Changsheng.

He stood up and went to open the door, and the person at the door turned out to be an old acquaintance.

"Adao!"

Xu Changsheng shouted excitedly when he saw the person coming.

Ah Dao had a brush stuck in his ear and a thin book in his hand. When he saw Xu Changsheng opening the door, he joked:
"Why, I didn't disturb your love?"

Lin Dandan, who followed behind, glanced at Adao with a slightly red face.

Xu Changsheng had long been accustomed to Ah Dao's way of speaking, and replied cheerfully: "Sorry to bother you, Ah Dao, please go back."

"hiss--"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changsheng took a breath of cold air.

The twist at the waist almost tore off the skin and flesh.

"Okay, let's get down to business. The higher-ups have assigned you some work. You go report to the mule team, and Lin Dandan goes to the alchemy workshop."

Ah Dao said as he looked at the notes on the booklet.

"Mule team, or where the boat is parked?"

This so-called mule team is just a joke. In fact, they are responsible for transporting supplies between Zouyin City and Yangguan.

"Yes, just go there early tomorrow morning and register. Everything has been arranged. The same goes for Lin Dandan."

After Ah Dao finished speaking, he drew a stroke on the booklet with a brush and crossed out their names.

Lin Dandan bowed slightly behind him.

Xu Changsheng asked more, "Where is Guan Shanyue? Ah Dao, do you know his arrangements?"

Xu Changsheng hasn't seen him in the past few days, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

"He."

Ah Dao put away the smile on his face, spat, and then said: "Originally, he was assigned to the same mule team as you, but that boy was stubborn and insisted on going to the city wall. I heard that he was later assigned a rescue job. He is now receiving training, so he has to learn."

Xu Changsheng understood as soon as he heard it.

While the forbidden troops are waiting to attack the city, there will surely be many casualties on the city walls, so at this time someone is needed to go back and forth to treat the wounded.

Guan Shanyue is one of them.

This job... is very dangerous. Although he doesn't have to fight the evil spirits directly, he is a Yin-nourishing god and has to do this job.

Whether you can come back alive is another matter.

"I……"

When Xu Changsheng heard this, he immediately rushed to speak.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ah Dao, "Come on, that place is full. Besides, the rescue team must at least be composed of people who can nourish Yin and walk Yin. You who gather the five Qi should stop joining in the fun."

Xu Changsheng opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

The next morning, Xu Changsheng went to Chuanting Street to report and listened to the people there explaining the rules and division of labor for the whole morning.

Xu Changsheng finally got a job as a deliveryman. It wasn't dangerous, but he had to travel between Yincheng and Yangguan frequently.

Although there is Sumeru, it can only transport some precious and small items.

The really big items still need to be handled by people.

Lin Dandan's job in the alchemy shop was not so easy. She had to familiarize herself with the medicinal properties of various herbs and memorize various alchemy recipes.

She guessed that when the forbidden siege really came, she would have to make pills.

The two of them got jobs, and although they still lived in the same house, they were together less and less.

Not only were they busy, the entire Zouyin City was in a busy state. Some Zouyin people who had originally felt nothing finally had a feeling that a storm was about to come.

During the next two months, there was no harassment from the forbidden area, so everything in Yin City went on in an orderly manner.

During this period, several people who had attained enlightenment appeared inside the pass, but most of them were from the Eight Great Masters.

Finally, on an ordinary afternoon, the ice sculpture on Liu Bai's body finally melted away, not long after he woke up.

heaven.

The true God turned over.
