After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 5 Spiritual Energy Tide
"One hour of your ghost life is worth one ghost coin." Song Huaihua said, "You just died, right? You should have plenty of ghost life left. It's time to spend money everywhere. I suggest you buy third-grade gold ingots, which are easy to carry. One hundred thousand ghost coins should be enough for you to settle down in Fengdu City."

"Ten thousand ghost money for one... I have only lived for more than two hundred years..." The flat-headed ghost hesitated.

Even though Song Miaozhu couldn't see the flat-headed ghost's expression clearly, she knew that he was reluctant to spend the money because it was too expensive:

“I think you can just buy first-grade or second-grade ingots.

We have plenty of these two in stock, so you can buy one or two, top up your ghost money and spend it first. When you run out, come back and buy more. It’s better to keep your ghost life in your own hands.”

After saying that, he shook his head at Grandma, leaned close to her ear and whispered in secret:

"Grandma, we're running low on third-grade gold ingots. If you sell one, you'll be gone soon. I don't know how long it will take me to learn how to make them! It's better to sell a few and keep them as our treasures!"

When the flat-headed ghost heard this, he felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't buy it.

He knew that what the store owner wanted to keep must be the best.

Without hesitation, he placed his hand on the third-grade ingot sample: "I want this!"

"Ah?" Song Miaozhu said disapprovingly, "This denomination is too large. It would take more than twenty years of life to fill it!"

When the flat-headed ghost heard that it would only take more than twenty years of his life to be full, he became even more persistent: "I want this."

After several rounds of persuasion, Song Miaozhu finally said with an expression that she had lost a lot of money: "Okay, then this is it. A total of 10,000 ghost money."

"The money my relatives burned for me was too big to carry with me. I absorbed it all into ghost money. How can I pay the bill without ghost money?" said the flat-headed ghost.

"If you buy another second-grade ingot, we can give you a first-grade ingot, and then you will have ingots to pay the bill." Song Miaozhu said.

"That's great!" said the flat-headed ghost happily.

So Song Miaozhu gave him all three ingots and said, "Thank you for the 10,100 ghost money."

The flat-headed ghost filled all three ingots with ghost money, and then he saw that the two ingots of the first and second grades added up to exactly 11,000 ghost money.

He hesitantly put the ingot back on the counter.

Song Miaozhu put away the gold ingots, his expression even sadder than the one who spent the money: "Goodbye, guest, welcome back next time!"

The flat-headed ghost walked out of Anshou Hall in confusion. He didn't know why, but he always felt that something was not right. However, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Is it possible I got ripped off? No way, that shop owner looks like he's lost a lot of money! It must be because my head got flattened by the tire!"

The copper bell rang and the flat-headed ghost walked out of the shop.

The regret and sadness on Song Miaozhu's face disappeared in an instant.

Muffled applause sounded, and she looked at Tai Nai.

"It seems I don't have to worry about you running this shop poorly." Song Huaihua said in amazement, with satisfaction in her eyes.

"Grandma, in order to sell an extra second-grade gold ingot, I decided to give away a first-grade gold ingot. Isn't it a loss?" Song Miaozhu asked.

Song Huaihua shook her head. "Originally, for ghosts like this who don't have ghost money, I would give them a money mold to pay them. If they buy a third-grade one, I would give them a second-grade one. I didn't expect that you would give them a first-grade one before I even reminded you. After this single order, you made more money than I used to make."

Song Miaozhu was naturally delighted when she heard this: "Grandma, if I put this ingot into the cornucopia, can it be converted into RMB?"

"Yes! But don't rush to turn around." Song Huaihua said: "There is one last thing I want to give you."

She pushed Song Miaozhu to sit on the chair behind the counter, then took out a jade token from her clothes and put it between her eyebrows.

Song Miaozhu suddenly felt something pushing into her mind.

It's a book!

Grandma's voice rang in her ears:

"This is the secret paper-making technique passed down from our Song family's ancestors. It should be the most complete paper-making tradition in the world. It is a rare thing that has been passed down since the last spiritual energy tide.

Even if it wasn't considered a valuable item back then, it's still incredibly valuable now. While it might not be usable during this spiritual energy surge, it definitely complies with the rules of the underworld, so it can be used after death.

You have to study hard, okay?"

Song Miaozhu nodded: "Grandma, what is this spiritual energy tide?"

"This is no longer a secret in the underworld. I've said before that ghosts will be able to stay in the world of the living for longer periods of time because of this spiritual energy tide.

Aura is the essence of all things in heaven and earth. If one can condense the essence and gather the energy, it can form a powerful force. The best among them can become immortals and live forever.

The spiritual energy of the Yang world always gushes out in stages.

At the beginning, the spiritual energy gushed out tentatively, which was called spiritual energy revival.

This stage usually does not last long.

Then, it is the stage of concentrated gushing of spiritual energy, which is also known as the spiritual energy tide.

During this stage, the spiritual energy is the densest, and it is also the easiest to become a spiritual immortal and achieve immortality.

After the tidal period, spiritual energy will gradually decrease as it is consumed by all things in the world, and in the end it will be the Dharma Ending Age with almost no spiritual energy.

The world of the living is now in the final stage of the Dharma Ending Age. In a few days or months at the least, or a few years at the most, it will usher in the stage of tentative outburst of spiritual energy.

Although in the underworld one can enjoy another kind of longevity if he has money and a long life, there are many restrictions in the underworld, and ultimately one cannot live as happily as the immortals in the world of the living.

Therefore, all the old ghosts who have abilities and ideas are vying to reincarnate and attend this grand event of heaven and earth.

I have already sent your parents away, and after today, I will leave too.

No one knows what the cultivation rules in the world of the living will be this time.

I just hope this ghost shop can help you live a better life in the world of the living."

Grandma's heartfelt words struck Song Miaozhu like a bolt of lightning in her heart.

Spiritual energy tides, cultivation, spiritual immortality, and immortality, each one sounds like a fairy tale.

But before today, ghosts and the underworld were nothing more than fairy tales in her mind.
Thinking of this, Song Miaozhu calmed down.

The spiritual energy revival has not yet arrived, let alone the spiritual energy tide.

According to Grandma, every time spiritual energy appears, the rules of cultivation are different.

If no one knows, then everyone is at the same starting line.

What she has to do now is to run the ghost shop well.

Even if you can't get ahead in the spiritual energy tide, you can still live a carefree life in the underworld by saving money in ghost money after death.

Ultimately, it comes down to making money, and making a lot of money.

This is also in line with her original life goal.

The only difference is that before they made money in RMB, but now they make money for the dead.

Ghost money is more valuable than RMB, can be exchanged for worldly currency, can be absorbed into ghost life, and can also be transformed into Yin Qi to nourish the ghost body.

Song Miaozhu was just about to discuss with her grandmother the feasibility of reselling specialties from the underworld when she heard her grandmother say:

"The time is almost up. I have to go to the government office to handle my reincarnation."
