It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

The No. 3 pit where Xia Li was located had already become famous.

Because putting one or two pieces of Yin jade in other holes is enough to consume a full ten years, unless there is a ghost with extremely excellent qualifications, there will generally be more than enough...

But this is not the case with Pit No. 3.

Twenty square meters of Yin jade must be put in every year, but it is only enough for one year!

This extremely strange situation naturally could not be hidden, and the next year Commander Cheng reported it to her superior, General Yin. General Yin could not find any problems after looking at it, so he reported it to the leader of the city.

——Big Yin General!

It was the year when Dayin came to investigate the situation that Shengsheng learned that the Yunyin area was actually built in Renwang City.

Yes, that's right.

Nioh Castle!

There are a total of ten places of concealment in the city, which were specially built after the great operation that year.

Because wandering souls can only exist for forty-nine hours, which is only four days and four nights at most, so so many wandering souls need to be promptly introduced and stored in places with strong yin energy.

The place of Yunyin was built in response to the needs of the times.

"I'm just wondering, the consumption of Pit No. 3 is too high."

"Oh! Why are you worrying about this? The master has given the order. Just put Yin jade in every year... Hurry up! Lead these wandering souls in and put away the Yin jade. We still have to go to Pit No. 4."

"Oh, okay okay."

Hearing the conversation coming from above, Xia Li smiled secretly in his heart.

in fact.

All the negative energy was sucked away by her!

At first, she herself didn't realize...

But every ten years in the Land of Yunyin, a group of wandering souls will be filled with Yin Qi and promoted to Yin souls. After the promotion, the wandering souls will recover their memories before their death, have consciousness... and can move freely, no longer standing straight in place like statues.

Therefore.

Every ten years, the Yunyin area in Niou Castle opens up.

At that time, whether it is a ghost that has just been promoted or a ghost that has stayed in the pit for nine years after being promoted, they will be allowed to leave the pit.

It was after the first ten years that Xia Li realized that he was unusual!

When she first woke up, she had been in there for several years...

Even if that time is counted as the first year, she should have gone out ten years later, following a group of ghosts who were promoted in the same year.

But in fact.

The other ghosts went out of Pit No. 3 in batches, but she was the only one who, like a repeater, had already sent off the ninth batch of "classmates"!

And it was not until the fifth year after the last opening of the Yunyin land.

This year, she will be able to move freely from the knee up. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to recover completely in the next five years...right?

Xia Li thought with some uncertainty.

"Um, Brother Zhang..."

"What do you want? Didn't you tell me to hurry up?"

"Brother Zhang, I want to ask you a question."

The man who asked the question spoke sincerely, was humble and had a correct attitude.

"Okay, okay, okay! Don't bow to me. Ask quickly if you want to."

The man called Brother Zhang agreed to the answer even though his tone was impatient. He must have been impressed by the other party's respect.

"I heard from them that a peerless Yin soul will be born in this No. 3 pit, and his future achievements may surpass those of the Great Yin General. It is for this reason that the master is willing to spend such a huge amount of Yin jade... I wonder, is it true or not?"

"Hey! It's hard to say about this matter."

The ghost named Zhang chuckled.

"......At first, the adults were full of expectations. After the change in Pit No. 3, the first Yin Ghost summoned the four Yin Generals to the scene. Unfortunately, none of them caught the adults' eyes. Even those with excellent qualifications were not worthy of the Yin Jades consumed."

"However, since the first summoning of ghosts, the consumption of Pit No. 3 has not decreased."

"This gave those elders hope, and they all wanted to recruit this peerless ghost into their ranks, even if they didn't ask for his loyalty, they could just make a good relationship with him..."

Xia Li listened to the conversation between the two and smiled bitterly in his heart.

What a bullshit peerless ghost. What a bullshit peerless ghost.

After the first ten years, she was always awake, and at most she would take a nap. It was from this time that she could clearly sense that... every month, the Yin Qi of this Yin Land would flow into her body at an extremely terrifying level.

The yin energy of the ghost is equivalent to the qi and blood of a warrior!

Logically speaking.

After absorbing so much Yin energy, she should have been a first-grade Yin ghost long ago, or even broken through the first grade to become a Yin general-level Yin ghost!

But in fact, she is still in a wandering state...

I don’t know where all this negative energy has gone.

——Is there a black hole inside Shengsheng’s body?

Recently, Xia Li couldn't help thinking like this. After all, there are twenty square meters of Yin jade every year, and each square meter of Yin jade can be used to nurture a group of Yin souls in a pit.

And she...

Almost two thousand Yin jades have been consumed, and she is still a wandering soul.

This black hole.

I'm afraid it was already in her body when she was still a human. No wonder her blood and qi leaked out as fast as air! She still had wild ideas and relied on her diligence and hard work to fill the other party.

Xia Li's scalp tingled when he thought about the two thousand Yin jades he had consumed.

She had a strong premonition.

Even if I had married Ning Yun and taken the ultimate elixir, it would probably be of no help!

——Hmm... let’s put it this way.

——My marriage with Ning Yun should no longer count. After all, she didn’t help me in any way, and Shengsheng is still an innocent girl who has never married.

Chapter 14 A Slight Smile Is Alluring

The No. 3 Yunyin place.

Xia Li looked calm, unlike the restless ghosts in the pit, she was as calm as an ancient well. Those who didn't know her would think that she had failed to be promoted to a ghost and was unable to move...

but.

In fact, she had completely completed her transformation half a year ago.

In addition, the most critical difference between ordinary wandering souls and ghosts is whether they have self-awareness. If they were divided according to this point, Xia Li would have been fine a hundred years ago.

The land of Yunyin summons ghosts once every ten years.

Over the past 100 years, Xia Li has seen nine groups of ghosts "graduate" from Pit No. 3. And this time, it's finally her turn!

Even though this was something that made her very happy...

But she was not excited, nor did she feel nervous.

Maybe it was because she often drained the Yin Qi from the Yunyin Land, but starting from the second summoning of ghosts, Xia Li found that even if she stood still, she could sense everything inside the No. 3 Yunyin Land Pit and within a certain range outside the pit.

Whether it's a person or an object, an action or a sound...she can 'see' it clearly!

Just like this moment.

The area outside Pit No. 3 was already crowded with people.

The land of Yunyin is nearly circular, and when fully opened, it can be entered and exited from tunnels built in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast.

There are a total of ten Yunyin places in Niou Castle... Under normal circumstances, not all four tunnels would be opened, only one of them would be enough.

But...

The No. 3 Yunyin place is naturally different!

Before each summoning of ghosts, the four ghost generals would wait here early, just because there is a rule.

——The ghost that just came out of the tunnel will belong to whoever takes it away from now on.

Pit No. 3 consumed a total of two thousand square meters of Yin Jade over a hundred years. Countless people are speculating that an earth-shattering and peerless Yin soul will be born in Pit No. 3, and maybe in the future he will reach the legendary level that all Yin souls dream of, above the Great Yin General!

Being able to have such a peerless person as a subordinate and make him pledge allegiance to you... well, even if he doesn't pledge allegiance to you, as long as you can establish a good relationship with him, there will be countless benefits in the future.

This.

It’s definitely a good thing!

In between...

With the noble status of being second only to the emperor among the Four Yin Generals of Niou Castle, they would wait obediently outside Pit No. 3 every ten years.

......

"The first batch, the first batch didn't have it?"

"No! The four adults have seen them, and there are only two with excellent qualifications. They may become first-class Yin soldiers or even Yin generals in the future, but they are still a long way from being peerless."

"Is it possible that this year's call for the meeting was in vain..."

"Hey, our parents aren't panicking, why are you panicking? There are five batches in total, there's still a chance!"

Conversations like this kept coming into Xia Li's ears and could not be hidden from her perception.

Every ten years.

The maximum number of ghosts that can be nurtured in a pit is no more than 5,000. When they are called, these ghosts will leave the pit in batches, usually three to five batches of one thousand each.

As for the other nine pits, just distribute the ghosts evenly and assign them to the four ghost generals...

Only Pit No. 3 is different.

When each batch comes out, the Yin generals must first explore it... According to the agreement between the four Yin generals, one person in each batch has the priority selection right, and the next batch will take turns.

The selection order is determined by drawing lots.

People in this martial arts world believe in fate and think that destiny cannot be violated.

The ghosts that are transformed after death have no difference in personality and thoughts from before death, except for their hatred towards the living. So it is also believed that...

——Well, I’m in the third batch.

Several teams of ghost soldiers strictly guarded the entrances to the tunnels. The leaders of each team counted secretly, and when the number of people in each tunnel was sufficient, they would immediately order it to be blocked.

Xia Li estimated his batch and knew it clearly in his mind.

——I don’t know if I can get out smoothly.

She pondered secretly in her heart.

It absorbed a full two thousand square Yin Jades. Although it refused to acknowledge the effects, its perception became unusually sharp, but in other aspects it was no different from an ordinary ghost.

It is very likely that you will not be able to catch up with some people with excellent qualifications, and you will never attract attention anyway.

But Xia Li is still a little worried...

after all.

She didn't know enough about Yin Jiang to know what abilities or methods he had.

But she couldn't hide in this dark and gloomy pit for the rest of her life. She had to give it a try even if there were risks!

"It's your turn, hurry up!"

The peerless ghosts that the Four Yin Generals wanted still did not appear in the second batch. After the recruitment process was quickly completed, the Yin soldiers guarding the road immediately shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Li felt the soul tide around him begin to surge.

She did not resist the trend, but mixed in with it and went with the flow...

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Thinking that even the Great Yin General had come to see him, he didn't notice anything unusual about him, let alone the Yin General.

Once we successfully get out among these countless ghosts, even if Pit No. 3 disappears abnormally afterwards, it will take a year to discover it... In a year, a lot of things can be discovered and a lot of changes can occur.
