I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

After the first bounty was offered, more and more bounties were offered, some for clues about medicinal herbs, some for information about cultivation techniques, and some for finding missing persons...

Lin Yi saw a message: "Seeking information to hire the assassin Zhui Ming, reward of 500 gold coins."

The main reason is that the name is quite unique, giving him a feeling of his childhood returning.

Seeing that the time was right, Mr. Liu also personally hung up two wooden plaques.

"A reward of 50,000 gold coins will be offered for information leading to the Ghost King."

"A thousand gold pieces for every clue that has happened in Laotang River in the past six months."

Lin Yi: "..."

Should I sell a lead?

Chapter 51 Hunter and Prey

Upon seeing the large bounty of 50,000 gold coins, You Tong, who was hiding in the shadows, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Speaking of ghost kings, he actually encountered one recently. Although he didn't meet him, the snowy scene still left a deep impression on him.

They had originally planned to launch a night raid on Xingsha County, but were forced to cancel the plan due to their fear of the Ghost King.

Afterwards, under the orders of the Blood King, they secretly searched for the Ghost King in Xingsha County, but unfortunately they did not find him.

Now that You Tong has seen the bounty, he is certain that it wasn't their Jingtian Sect who did it.

Which other power is so wealthy and powerful?

None of that matters anymore. In short, he can make this money and also get some other information along the way.

You Tong walked towards a pillar and said, "I have clues about the Ghost King."

"explain."

A woman's voice came from the attic. You Tong was slightly stunned. Wasn't Mr. Liu the owner of the Ghost Market in Xing Sha County? Had he changed his gender?

That's true. Tree spirits are genderless by nature, and what gender they choose to appear as depends on their will.

You Tong didn't think much of it and said, "Three days ago, I encountered a ghost king in a bamboo forest about 100 miles from Qinghe Village on the official road of Xingsha County. She used a ghost domain as soon as she made a move, and snow fell all over the sky."

Up in the attic, Chu Bi was stunned.

She never expected to make a gain so quickly. Judging from You Tong's description, it should be true. Moreover, isn't the icy and snowy Ghost Realm Xue Ji's signature move?

Xue Ji is still alive and has stayed in Xing Sha County, but Lin Yi is dead. What happened?

Could it be that Xue Ji killed Lin Yi, or that someone kidnapped Xue Ji?

Chu Bi was somewhat incredulous. Xue Ji was a special ghost king. She had signed a contract with the former leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, and they were equals. After the former leader died, she naturally became the leader's ghost.

However, the two are not in a master-servant relationship. Although Yukihime is a demon, she is equivalent to an honorary elder without real power in the Hundred Demons Sect.

All the other ghosts were filled with malevolent energy, but Xue Ji was filled with pure energy, which was completely different from the style of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. However, she was the ghost of the former sect leader and had high cultivation, so no one in the Hundred Ghosts Sect would bother her for no reason.

But who would have thought that this seemingly harmless ghost king would actually abduct the sect leader's disciple!

Many disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect speculated that it might be because the sect leader's disciple was too handsome, causing even the female ghosts to lose control of themselves.

No one knows the truth, but none of the disciples who went out to hunt them down came back alive.

After that, the sect leader gave up the pursuit. Unexpectedly, six months later, news of Lin Yi's death came.

Chu Bi originally wanted to see just how formidable Lin Yi was!

Getting back to the main point, based on You Tong's description, Chu Bi knew that this must be Xue Ji without a doubt.

There aren't many ghost kings who can unleash the Ghost Domain, and even fewer of them are of the ice and snow type. And since it just so happens that she's in Xingsha County, who else could it be but Xue Ji!

How did you finally escape from her clutches?

You Tong noticed that the voices of the people in the attic had become much more urgent. It seemed that this clue should be useful to them. In response to the additional question, You Tong also gave a detailed answer on how he had come up with a quick idea in the moment.

Chu Bi couldn't help but interrupt, "Xue Ji never kills people. Even if you don't give her gifts, she won't kill you."

You Tong: "..."

Before today, he always thought he was incredibly smart, but after hearing Chu Bi's words, his happiness vanished, and a feeling of heartache slowly welled up inside him.

That's a cloud bag, and a whole bag full of various cultivation items. That bag alone is worth 30,000 gold, not to mention the even more valuable cloud bag.

That wave was a complete disaster!

"The information you provided was very helpful, and I will thank you properly."

Chu Bi leaped down from the pavilion and landed beside You Tong.

The onlookers were immediately blinded by the light. Ah, what is that white thing? It's so dazzling!

"Besides the 50,000 gold coins, sister has other rewards. Do you want them?"

You Tong immediately took half a step back and said politely, "You're too kind, senior."

A cold glint flashed in Chu Bi's eyes, but she still smiled sweetly and said, "The little brother is quite cute. See you again sometime!"

She gave him the reward of 50,000 on the spot, took it out of her cloud bag and threw it on the ground. A large pile of glittering gold immediately made people envious.

Hidden in the crowd, He Dong glared at You Tong with resentment. "How annoying! This person is stealing my business!"

He Dong originally planned to sell his own product, but someone beat him to it.

hateful!

No one has ever been able to steal money from me, kid. I'll remember you!

As for encountering members of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, He Dong wasn't particularly afraid.

She knew Chu Bi; she was just a woman who cultivated through lust, and the ghosts she controlled were also lustful ghosts. As a fellow ghost king, she could easily defeat Chu Bi and the ghosts under her control.

Because He Dong is not susceptible to lust.

However, she didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, especially since she was close to undergoing her tribulation and it was inconvenient for her to go all out.

Coming to the Ghost Market this time was the right decision. My premonition was correct; the Hundred Ghosts Sect has indeed arrived in Xingsha County. I'll have to remind Lin Yi to be careful later.

Thinking of this, He Dong couldn't help but start searching for Lin Yi's whereabouts in the crowd. Coincidentally, Lin Yi was not far from her, and she saw him as soon as she turned around.

There was a pretty and cute girl next to him, and the two seemed to be talking.

He Dong's mood suddenly became somewhat complicated.

She crept closer, intending to eavesdrop on their conversation.

At this moment, the clash between the two award-winning actors has reached its climax.

Not long ago, due to the increased foot traffic in the central area, Shang Chang'er seized the opportunity and accidentally bumped into Lin Yi.

Lin Yi quickly stepped back, nervously clutching the bag in his arms, and looked at Shang Chang'er with considerable vigilance.

Shang Chang'er quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know who bumped into me just now."

"Be more careful next time."

Lin Yi spoke coldly, but after clearly recognizing her, his guard dropped considerably. Shang Chang'er sneered inwardly; her previous foreshadowing had worked.

She was almost certain that Lin Yi had struck gold.

Otherwise, why would this guy, who is clearly a newbie to the ghost market, suddenly stop looking at anything and buying nothing, and instead be so cautious and wary of something, as if he has already bought something good and just wants to leave?

There's no doubt there's treasure inside.

Shang Chang'er didn't believe anyone could fool her discerning eyes.

But she underestimated Lin Yi, who possessed the wisdom accumulated over five thousand years. High-level hunters often appear as prey, and this time, it was Lin Yi's turn.

Shang Chang'er's script is in hard mode, while Lin Yi's is in easy mode, because he only needs to wait to be deceived, while Shang Chang'er has to actively deceive people.

The amount of effort required for each is different.

Lin Yi tried to avoid Shang Chang'er, but she still followed and apologized, "I was really rude just now. How about I give you this as an apology?"

Shang Chang'er took the bone talisman and handed it to Lin Yi.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't take it, Shang Chang'er explained, "I just bought this at a stall for fifty gold coins, but it's actually only worth two or three gold coins. I got ripped off."

She pouted, looking annoyed. Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, and Shang Chang'er said fiercely but cutely, "Are you laughing at me?"

Chapter 52 Shrimp and Pork Heart

No one could resist a beautiful, cute, rich, and petite girl who was only 1.5 meters tall. Shang Chang'er was very confident.

We must win this round!

Sure enough, Lin Yi, this newbie, although he knew he had to be careful after getting a treasure, still quickly explained when faced with a playful and cute girl's question, "I wasn't laughing at you."

"Humph."

Shang Chang'er still gave a haughty snort, and handed the bone talisman to Lin Yi, saying, "Just take it. I don't want to see it anymore anyway."

She bought something worth one gold coin for fifty gold coins and then just refused it, which was enough to show how wealthy she was. Lin Yi couldn't refuse again, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Shang Chang'er, still unconvinced, said, "Don't laugh at me. It's normal to get tricked on my first time in the Ghost Market."

Lin Yi smiled in agreement.

This not only fits the premise that he found a treasure, but also gives Shang Chang'er an opportunity.

"Are you laughing at me again? Judging from your expression, have you found some treasure?"

Lin Yi's smile vanished instantly, and his eyes once again filled with vigilance.

Shang Chang'er immediately said unhappily, "Look at you, I'm not going to steal your things. What kind of treasures haven't I seen?"

"It's not some amazing treasure."

Seemingly not wanting to see her angry, Lin Yi explained again. Shang Chang'er immediately seized the opportunity and pressed on, asking, "Then how did you find it? I'm just curious about how you found it. You look like someone who's been to the Ghost Market for the first time, so how did you manage to find a treasure while I got ripped off?"

Shang Chang'er's words were quite blunt, but the reverse compliment was the real compliment. She seemed unwilling, but she praised Lin Yi highly. Most newbies would be secretly pleased to hear that.

With a beautiful girl as an idol, who can resist the urge to show off?

As expected, Lin Yi fell for it.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just lucky. I saw that person selling books and I had this strange feeling that there might be treasures inside, so I bought ten. At first, I thought they were all vulgar books, but I didn't expect that one of them contained something truly amazing..."
