Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 65 The Ghost Messenger's Path, the Sinful Old Dragon
"You can only become a ghost messenger after you're dead..."

This approach was truly beyond Wu Yun's expectations.

At this point, Fang Min subconsciously glanced at Qin Wei... Should she continue speaking about the other information obtained through the ghost messenger's means?

Strictly speaking, all information obtained through this channel is a secret within the Non-Natural Bureau and cannot be disclosed to the public.

But Qin Wei's expression remained natural. "Go on," she said.

Fang Min sighed inwardly... It seems that this Chairman Wu and Qin Wei have a truly special relationship.

She immediately stepped forward and pulled up the blackout curtains on the window.

"In our world, after a person dies, their soul is supposed to be scattered."

"The ability of the ghost messengers is to capture the soul in their hands when a person is dying, when the soul is about to dissipate."

"For example... Sisi's mom, come out here."

A wisp of white smoke emerged from the pocket of her white coat, condensing into a phantom human shape.

The female ghost was wearing a hospital gown, with large patches of bloodstains on her trouser legs.

He was dazed when he first appeared, but it took him a while to regain his senses and look at Fang Min.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Fang Min pointed to the ward not far away.

"It's nothing, go see your husband and child."

The female ghost immediately burst into tears, expressing her gratitude profusely, and trembling, floated to the door of the ward.

Fang Min explained later.

She died in childbirth.

She should have been utterly terrified and never seen her husband and children again.

“But if I hold her soul in my hands, she can stay with her family a little longer.”

Wu Yun and the others fell silent.

I watched the female ghost visit her relatives for a few minutes, and then I saw Fang Min call her back.

"Alright, your soul is unstable, don't leave me for too long."

"Your husband and son can't stand the yin energy emanating from you, so don't stay so close to them all the time."

Wu Yun remained silent, watching the female ghost fly back to Fang Min's pocket, her face streaked with tears.

He stepped forward and saw the sleeping baby in the ward, whose face was also covered in dirty tear stains.

The baby's father, who was sleeping soundly by the bedside, seemed to sense something and looked up and turned to look outside. He had a haggard stubble on his face and dirty tear stains on his face.

……

Rumble…

Click...

Wu Yun had just finished scooping out the spiritual energy pool for the day when he looked up and saw lightning in the sky.

"I wonder who is knocking?"
"What exactly are they trying to do this time?"

After taking a few more glances, he quickly rode away on the giant black cloud.

……

Rumble…

Click...

In the celestial realm, the sky was also filled with dark clouds, thunder, lightning, and bitter winds and rain!
An old dragon flew in the sea of ​​clouds, its body as huge as a mountain!
It raised its claws, and a whirlwind scattered!
When it turns over, the sea of ​​clouds surges!
At this moment, it slammed its claws into the sky, creating a thunderous roar!
Its claws had already drawn blood, which dripped down and turned the clouds into blood clouds and the rain into blood rain!
But it kept clawing, one claw after another, without daring to stop for a moment!

Because it had a black iron chain hanging around its neck.

The chain extended out, hanging over a thousand miles of clouds and through the vast rain curtain, reaching into a bronze chariot suspended in the clouds, where it was held in the hand of a red-robed celestial official inside.

The celestial official sat on a wooden chair, his other hand supporting his chin, dozing off.

He's often unconscious, occasionally lucid. "Old Dragon hasn't been slacking off, has he?"

He would occasionally wake up, check the wind and rain, listen to the thunder, and once he was sure everything was alright, he would go back to sleep.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, a talisman flew through the air, its edges dampened by the rain, blurring the writing. It slipped into the carriage, floated in front of him, and disturbed his reverie.

[The Liu family of Liu County, Jizhou, reports to the City God's Palace: According to the decree of the Thirty-Three Heavens, the sinful old dragon pecks at the celestial canopy daily, sending five liters of spiritual energy from the human world each day, yet after seven days, not a single drop has been received...]

The celestial official, still half asleep, rubbed his eyes, glanced at the document on the talisman, and immediately became so angry that he blew on his beard.

Didn't receive it?

"Ha, I send five liters every day, no more, no less. What does it have to do with me if I don't receive it?"
"Who dares to question me?"

He immediately took out a blank talisman, wrote a few large characters in a flamboyant style: "[Sending five liters daily without fail]", then threw the talisman out of the carriage into the boundless, gray-black rain, letting it fly away, before continuing his nap.

……

Blah blah blah blah...

The torrential rain poured down from the sky, hitting the windowsill and shattering into cold water vapor.

In the study, Liu Sangtian, the head of the Liu family, saw the talisman sent by the City God's Mansion and his lips twitched slightly.

The city god's office neither investigated, explained, nor verified the matter; with a single, dismissive remark, they sent the inquiry back to the city.

"Sigh, a higher rank can crush you."

But then I thought, since the city god's office said they had given it, they probably really had.

The problem likely lies in other aspects.

"What other strange things could happen?"

"Could it be that the spiritual energy fell on the dark clouds, and before it could turn into rain, it was scooped up by someone?"
"That's impossible! How could a ninth-rank celestial official in the mortal realm pass through thunderous clouds?"

"Immortal Official of Thunder Pool?"
"But what gives them the right to consume five liters of spiritual energy every day?"

There is a limit to the rate at which one can absorb spiritual energy, regardless of the method used.

Even if you throw a corpse soldier into a pool of spiritual energy, it can absorb as much as it wants; it can absorb thirty to fifty strands and that'll be enough to make it stronger.

To absorb five liters of spiritual energy in a single day, you'd have to transport an entire army of corpse soldiers to the heavens!

unless……

"Unless that guy actually found the celestial official's authority over spiritual energy from the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Ji Zhu Grand Array on the floating island?"

When it comes to processing spiritual energy, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Ji Zhu Grand Array is undoubtedly the best in the Three Realms!

Moreover, no other person or organization is worthy of comparison with it!

Even if they exist... they will be immediately destroyed by the Starry Sky Palace!
"Does he really have it?"
"But that doesn't make sense."

"Who exactly appointed him?"

"Could it be a special perk for a ninth-rank cultivator of the Cloud Realm?"

"What exactly is the power in his hands?"
"A spirit-testing stick? Or a spirit-storing pot?"

Both of these things filled Liu Sangtian with endless longing!

Liu Sangtian sat behind his desk, pondering for a long time.

"If it can take away five liters of spiritual energy every day... then it must be a spirit-testing stick."

After much deliberation, he immediately wrote a letter explaining the cause and effect and his own speculation. Finally, he grabbed the letter, swallowed it, bit his tongue, and swallowed the letter and the blood from his tongue.

He choked up, and with great difficulty, swallowed the letter.

Losing that little bit of blood from the tip of his tongue was extremely taxing on him, leaving him pale, sweating, and weak.

But he no longer cared about this small loss.

"If there really is a spirit-testing stick... if we could actually get our hands on it, and put it into the hands of my Liu family... then we would be set for life!"

"Although our Liu family is weak over there, even if we can't have the Spirit Testing Stick to ourselves, it's still worth it if we have to share it with other forces!"
