However, this did teach Ren Tingting a lesson; she hadn't thought that much about it before.
"Yes, you are new to cultivation, so you don't know how dangerous the world is. If you are not careful, you will not only die, but you may even lose your soul and be unable to reincarnate."
"I will remember, Master!"
"me too!"
The two girls followed Bai Ye's teachings diligently, and Bai Ye set an example for them. If they didn't remember it, they would be letting Bai Ye down this time.
"Eat up, then rest for a bit and we'll leave."
This place is, after all, the boundary between Yin and Yang, and staying here all the time isn't good for Ren Qingqing.
She's still just an ordinary person, and even Ren Tingting wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"By the way, waiter, have you been here for a long time?"
"Sigh, don't even mention it. We're always on the move. Wherever a lot of people have died recently, that's where we'll be. And it's not just us, there are quite a few others. Besides, the cultivation world hasn't been very peaceful lately."
The waiter complained that they were responsible for collecting the spirits of the dead; wherever someone died, the inn would go there.
This job is incredibly tough.
"It's not peaceful?"
"Yes, Daoist Master, recently, souls that were supposed to be brought back have mysteriously disappeared. This is clearly not normal; it must be due to some evil force."
The waiter looked bitter. These evil sects have been too rampant lately. They even dare to rob the ghosts in their underworld. They are simply lawless!
"What do you think, Daoist Master?"
"I'll intervene if I encounter someone, but isn't that something your underworld is responsible for?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised a finger and said, "A red spider lily!"
"what?!"
No?
Is there such a thing?
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the waiter's face immediately fell. However, he remembered that this was how Taoists did things. Generally speaking, they would charge money for everything they did, no matter how much or how much the other party had treated him to a meal or something else.
This is called severing the cause and effect.
I do things for you, and you give me something in return. That settles the debt between us. Even if he doesn't seek out Bai Ye, he would still need to do the same for someone else, although the conditions offered by the other party might be different.
"I can ask for you."
The waiter hesitated for a moment. Although they were no longer in the mortal realm, they still knew some things about the mortal world and knew that Bai Ye was currently among the strongest Taoists.
He can use thunder magic, which also has a restraining effect on evil cultivators, so it is obviously a very good choice for him to deal with it.
However, the fate of the red spider lily is not something one can decide.
"Okay, take this. Contact me anytime."
"it is good."
The waiter took the item from Bai Ye's hand and carefully put it away. After finishing his meal, Bai Ye tossed down a handful of ghost money and left the inn.
After leaving the inn, Ren Qingqing and Ren Tingting were noticeably more lively.
"Master, what is the use of the red spider lily? Why do you want that thing?"
"Medicinal guide".
"Oh."
Ren Tingting and Ren Qingqing nodded as if they understood, "Is it alchemy?"
However, Bai Ye didn't think about this matter. Instead, he was pondering the problem of the evil cultivators. He hadn't expected them to be so arrogant as to even steal souls from the underworld.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 148. Uncle Jiu is jealous. Bai Ye has gained another good disciple?
148.
"Master Bai, it's been decided from above. If you help, you'll get the Red Spider Lily!"
The waiter rubbed his hands together and looked at Bai Ye with a smile. In the last few minutes before dawn, he approached Bai Ye and brought him the information he had gathered from his inquiries that evening.
The ghost messengers are already restricted from going to the human world. This matter has already involved evil paths, and the underworld can provide very little help. They can't just pray that these evil people die and go to the underworld to suffer, can they?
Even if one can torment the other person after death, the soul lost now is real.
If this continues, even reincarnation will become difficult; the number of souls is decreasing every day, and in fact, it's increasing.
In addition, the war itself easily leads to more and more wandering ghosts, and there are also those who are bitten to death by zombies and whose souls are swallowed by monsters and spirits. In short, the pressure on the underworld is now enormous.
Establishing contact with a powerful Taoist priest in the human realm is currently the most urgent need for the underworld.
They have always had a good relationship with Maoshan, but relying solely on Maoshan is clearly not enough now. Bai Ye is also from the Shenxiao Sect and has orthodoxy. Since everyone is on the same side, they should cooperate fully.
"Okay, are there any distinguishing features, or do you know their location?"
Surely you can't expect me to come and find it myself, can you?
If we ask him to come, it will definitely be difficult to find someone.
"We are currently searching as well, but please rest assured that we will notify you as soon as we find it!"
After the ghost messenger finished speaking, he took Bai Ye's token and left.
"Master, we can even make a deal with the underworld!"
Ren Tingting never expected that the underworld, in her mind, was a high and mighty existence.
But now, people are actually begging Bai Ye to do them a favor.
"They have too many constraints in the human world, and they often need to cooperate with Taoist priests. We will do our best to help them, after all, they will be considered our ghost lineage in the future, and it will be easier to get things done if we have someone below us."
If you help someone, they can naturally ask you for help in the future if they need anything. If you refuse now, they will definitely try to find ways not to help you later. So it's a mutually beneficial situation.
Ren Tingting nodded blankly, thinking to herself, "So that's how it is. The underworld also needs someone to help it."
"Will Master and the others ask us for help in the future?"
Ren Qingqing asked curiously.
Since it's mutually beneficial, will you approach them again in the future?
"Let's talk when you're more capable. Even if they're terrible, they wouldn't hire two newbies like you."
A strange look flashed across Bai Ye's face, while Ren Qingqing's face truly held a kind of innocent foolishness.
Need help from you two newbies?
Just kidding.
This ghost messenger will be laughed to death in the underworld.
"Brother Dao?!"
"Fellow?"
Could I possibly run into Uncle Nine in the middle of nowhere?
Along the way, Bai Ye was still teaching Ren Tingting and the others some knowledge about the cultivation world, and did not notice that Uncle Jiu was here.
He is capable of sensing malice. Under normal circumstances, Bai Ye will not pay special attention to anyone unless they are showing him malice.
"Ninth Uncle."
Ren Tingting greeted him politely, while Ren Qingqing looked at Uncle Jiu curiously. Was he Master's friend?
"Tingting, it's been a long time! It seems your cultivation progress is quite good!"
Uncle Nine nodded, his gaze falling on Ren Tingting, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Is this how you enter the path?
Although Qiu Sheng also joined, it was because Qiu Sheng actually had a foundation in cultivation before.
However, Qiu Sheng's mind was not on this at that time, so he never entered the Dao. He was good at martial arts, but because of what happened last time, Qiu Sheng also put his mind on it.
Naturally, he had made great progress and was very satisfied with himself. However, after seeing Ren Tingting, he suddenly became somewhat dissatisfied with Qiu Sheng. There is no harm without comparison!
"Master's teachings are excellent."
"cough"
Bai Ye coughed lightly, signaling Ren Tingting to stop talking.
If this continues, Uncle Jiu might lose face.
What does it mean to have a good teacher?
Doesn't the situation with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai mean that Uncle Jiu's teaching ability is inadequate?
"I'm sorry, Uncle Jiu, that's not what I meant."
"It's alright, it's really my fault for not teaching them properly!"
Uncle Nine waved his hand dismissively, but he had already made up his mind that he would make Qiu Sheng train even harder when he got back this time!
He was overjoyed when he first entered the Daoist sect, and Qiu Sheng was also very proud. But now, seeing Ren Tingting like this, he couldn't imagine what Qiu Sheng was still so proud of.
At the same time, Uncle Nine noticed another girl next to Bai Ye, pointed at her and asked, "Who is this?"
"The disciple I'm planning to take on is Ren Qingqing." As he spoke, Bai Ye turned to look at Qingqing: "This is Daoist Lin Jiu, you can just call him Uncle Jiu."
He figured he probably didn't want Lin Fengjiao's name mentioned, so he didn't bring it up again.
"Hello, Uncle Jiu."
"Hello."
Uncle Nine rubbed his hands together awkwardly and greeted him.
It seems I didn't prepare a gift.
But thinking about it, since Bai Ye didn't mention it, I'll let it go.
However, it's quite a coincidence that Bai Ye's newly accepted disciple is surnamed Ren.
