You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 61 Ghost Immortal, Ghost City (Please continue reading)
Chen Yang glanced at "Ali Girl".

Ali also glanced at Chen Yang.

"If this deal goes through, I'll make a fortune!"

The two "people" exchanged glances and smiled at each other, both having the same thought flash through their minds.

Snapped!
Chen Yang closed the wooden box and smiled, "In today's society, it's hard to find someone as filial as Miss Ali. As someone who runs a business, how can I let down Miss Ali's filial piety?"

Miss Ali said, "Then thank you, Boss Chen."

Ruyi added from the side, "Remember to help burn some... Also, buy all the ghost money in your shop, don't burn too little!"

Chen Yang: "Don't worry, even if I'm ruthless, I won't take people's money. I'll burn it on live stream!"

"........."

At this time...

A gust of wind blew by.

Chen Huaiyi floated down from the second floor.

Ali and Ruyi glanced at the stairwell without thinking... There's a ghost in Mr. Chen's house?

The two quickly looked away, pretending not to see Chen Huaiyi.

Chen Huaiyi thought the two "people" couldn't see him, so he swaggered past them and floated behind the shelf, where he started tinkering with a paper Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Chen Yang: "..."

He pretended not to see anything, escorted the two women out of the store, and only returned to the store after they got into a taxi and left.

Just as I returned to the shop, Chen Huaiyi floated over again: "Who are those two girls?"

Chen Yang: "A customer."

"customer?"

"Your father is just dead, not blind!"

Chen Huaiyi sneered, "If you were really a customer, would you arrive so precisely when your shop opens? You just browsed around the shop and left without buying anything?"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated, and finally revealed, "Dad, actually those two were just like you... they were ghosts!"

"ghost?"

Chen Huaiyi chuckled and said, "Do you think your dad can't tell whether it's a ghost or not?"

Even I, a dignified night watchman, couldn't see through their disguises, so it's no wonder you couldn't!

Chen Yang mentally scoffed, picked up the wooden box from the counter, opened it, and said, "I have some guesses about their identities, but I'm not sure yet... In short, they're not human."

"They came to me to buy ghost money!"

Chen Huaiyi stared at the wooden box, his eyes wide open, and muttered, "Now I believe it... Unless it's a ghost, who would be willing to spend so much gold to buy ghost money?"

Wait until the sun sets.

The old man greeted Chen Yang, saying he was going out for a stroll and to see his old friends.

"Dad, just take a look from a distance, don't scare people."

Chen Yang instructed, "Remember to come back soon... The world is not peaceful these days. Be careful not to get hurt if you encounter some kind of folk master or evil spirit."

With the old man gone, the shop felt empty again.

Chen Yang ordered takeout.

Just as they were eating, Gu Jinghui arrived.

The young man whistled, looking incredibly smug. He entered the store, pulled up a chair, and plopped down in with an air of superiority: "Old Chen... the bureau has approved a long leave for me!"

"I went back to the station today."

"When Captain Su and Director Li learned that I was practicing the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method], they specially gave me a long vacation so I could practice the Daoist arts with you... and it's even paid!"

After Chen Yang finished eating, Gu Jinghui stood up and said, "Anyway, we don't have to work tomorrow... Let's go play a few rounds first."

Chen Yang asked in surprise, "Didn't you want to cultivate Taoist arts?"

Gu Jinghui: "There's plenty of time in the future, what's the harm in taking a little longer?"

Chen Yang retorted irritably, "Get lost! Even if you don't cultivate, I still need to!"

Gu Jinghui sighed: "Alright... let's fix it together."

Since he hadn't memorized the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method], Chen Yang could only teach him the basics first.

Taoist cultivation emphasizes the dual cultivation of mind and body.

"The so-called 'sex' mainly refers to the spiritual level, including temperament and intention... By adjusting one's mindset, one can calm the mind and nourish the spirit by eliminating distracting thoughts, observing and meditating, and cultivating the soul."

"To put it simply, the so-called 'life' is about maintaining one's body and improving the quality of life. The simplest way to do this is to refine essence into qi."

Chen Yang only had a superficial understanding of "Taoist methods," so he could only study the "Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method" while instructing Gu Jinghui on "gathering qi and calming the mind."

Gu Jinghui, being restless and easily distracted, asked after only a short while of cultivation, "Old Chen, tell me about the realms of Daoist cultivation first..."

Chen Yang said, "Daoist cultivation is the dual cultivation of body and mind. The cultivation of body and mind is divided into two realms: Qi Refining and Dao Entry."

Gu Jinghui asked curiously, "Only two realms? There's no Foundation Establishment or Core Formation?"

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Although Daoist cultivation advocates cultivating both body and spirit, what they pursue is the transcendence of the soul. Therefore, the main focus is on refining the spirit. The first stage mainly involves gathering qi to refine the spirit and nurture the soul. Only when the Yin spirit is condensed can one step into the second stage, [Out of Body]."

"Concentration, Astral projection, Night travel, Day travel, Manipulation of objects, Manifestation, Possession... These are the seven realms of spiritual cultivation."

"Only seven realms?"

Gu Jinghui then asked, "And what about further up?"

Chen Yang said, "The next step is to merge with the Dao and transcend tribulation, ascending to become an immortal." Gu Jinghui's eyes lit up!
Ascend to immortality?

Who didn't have such a fantasy when they were young?

"And what about you? Are you in the underworld the same as Taoist cultivators?"

“We, the ghost officials of the underworld, follow the path of ghost cultivation. We are ghosts to begin with... Why bother with spirits or astral projection? We can directly ‘roam at night,’ and then, with our souls strengthened, we can travel during the day, control objects, manifest, and possess bodies!”

Chen Yang said, "The underworld officials do not need to ascend to immortality through merging with the Dao, but rather cultivate into ghost immortals and undergo tribulation as underworld spirits."

"So what level are you at now?"

"I am currently only at the Day Travel Realm, and I am still some distance from being able to manipulate objects."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Once you cultivate to the level of Object Manipulation, you can control magical treasures and flying swords to kill people from a distance... Your combat power will be greatly enhanced at that time."

soon.

By 11pm.

"Old Gu, let's stop cultivating for now... I'm going to start a live stream, can you film it for me?"

Chen Yang logged into his live streaming account and first shared it with "Ali Girl" before starting the broadcast, leaving Gu Jinghui to act as the "photographer" for the time being.

First, they brought a large iron basin outside the shop.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang started moving the joss paper from the shop.

There were more than a dozen stacks on the shelf.

In addition, there were three large cardboard boxes behind the shelf.

The denominations of ghost money are mainly "1000" per piece.

There are also 50 and 100 denominations, but in smaller quantities. Chen Yang had previously stocked 10000, 10, and even 1 million and 100 million denominations. They sold very well at first, but later a customer said that after he burned some for his mother, she appeared in his dream and said that the money he burned was too big and he couldn't make change.

Especially in recent years, almost no one wants large denomination ghost money anymore.

Since no one wanted the goods, Chen Yang stopped ordering more.

A dozen or so viewers flooded into the live stream room.

Chen Yang glanced at the comments and asked the camera, "Has Ali come in yet?"

An ID named "Ali" typed a "1" in the comments.

"Come on... get on the microphone."

Chen Yang initiated a live stream connection, which was quickly accepted. Ali's beautiful appearance appeared in the live stream room. She was wearing a pink nightgown and was flustered for a moment: "Ah... why is the video on!"

"Ruyi... how do I turn off the video!"

Before you know it, the camera switched, and two smooth thighs appeared on screen.

Ruyi's voice rang out in the live stream: "This... press this..."

The video switched to audio.

Chen Yang: "..."

Those beautiful legs...

So what if I'm not human?
Composing himself, Chen Yang said, "Miss Ali, all the ghost money in the shop has been brought out. Keep an eye on it, I'm going to start burning it..."

Stacks of joss paper were placed into the iron basin, igniting flames.

………………

Suburbs of Wucheng.

Ruyi's screams echoed from a traditional Chinese courtyard villa that only appears at night and is unseen by anyone.

"money……"

"Miss, how much money!"

"Hahahaha...Miss, we've struck it rich! When the Ghost Market opens again, I'm definitely going to buy a few big shops!"

…………

South of Wucheng, there is a town called Xiamaguan Town, which is about 100 kilometers away from Wucheng.

There is a village in Xiamaguan Town called "Hongchengshui" Village.

The village is located at the foot of Luoshan Mountain.

Luoshan is one of the three major natural secondary forest areas in Xixia Prefecture and a national nature reserve. It spans three townships and four towns and has a distinct Loess Plateau geological landscape. The rocks and soil exposed on one of its peaks are brownish-red.

This is "red soil".

This is not uncommon in the southern mountainous region of Western Xia.

The villagers living at the foot of this "red soil mountain" all know...

There is something dirty on this mountain.

Especially at night, strange noises often occur on the mountain, and there are even "ghost fires" that burn for half the night.

However, no one knows that there is a "ghost town" on this mountain.

The ghost town is called "Red Mountain City".

"Report!"

A headless imp rushed into Red Mountain City. He ran up to a ghost general in armor and knelt down, crying, "General, we've discovered the princess's whereabouts..."
