Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Appearance of the Five Ghosts [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The illustration on the charm summon depicted a dark underground room, where a blood-red array platform and a bone altar stood erect. Five ghost babies, in a demon-like form, crawled on the bone altar with four hands on the ground, their mouths agape, staring outside the picture frame.

At this moment, a yin wind began to flourish in the basement, the blood light drastically surged, thick, ominous miasma filled the air as if something terrifying was about to be born.

"Crack!"

The bone altar in front of him slowly began to shake, and then...

"Bang!"

The entire altar suddenly exploded into a sky full of bone powder, swept away by the yin wind, shrouding the entire basement.

In the blink of an eye, the already dark and eerie basement became utterly turbid.

After a long while, when the commotion subsided, Wang Zijia was already surrounded by ash on the ground. Thankfully, his robe had a dust-resistant effect, so it wasn’t submerged.

At this moment, five ghost baby charm summons had reappeared next to him. The charm summons had transformed into five adorable Fuwas, emitting a faint sense of oppression.

Name: Big Baby (Ghost Baby)

Cultivation: [Pseudo-Sacrificial Wine]

Evil Source: Inferior (0/30000)

Dao Cultivation: Hundred-year (50000/50000)

Affiliation: Sinister Transformation Summoning Creatures

Talent: Ghost Child Bewitching (Counterfeit Second Grade)

Note: Created by special methods, through a sacrificial refining process that prematurely completes its transformation, this counterfeit sacrificial wine demon needs to supplement a certain amount of evil source to complete its quantitative process and strengthen its foundation.

Looking at the information on the five ghosts, Wang Zijia’s face lit up with surprise. This meant that he only needed to supplement a value of thirty thousand and he could promote all five ghosts to the sacrificial wine level, just as he needed extra characteristics to solidify his Dao foundation.

However, as he looked at the value, Wang Zijia felt a headache coming on.

For one ghost, it amounted to thirty thousand, for five it would be one hundred and fifty thousand value. If converted into the magic money required to buy explosive spirit pills, it would amount to more than fifty thousand magic money.

"Oh, my God... How much money is that?"

"Why am I getting poorer the more I proceed? Just kill me!"

At the same time, he felt pain in his heart, as well as pure happiness.

After all, the "Five Ghosts Divine Power" was typically a top-grade Magic Door possessed by those at the peak of the Sacrificial Wine level. Even though it was incomplete, over half of it had been repaired now. Alongside the fusion of Dao Fruit Refinement and the powerful talisman way, Wang Zijia already had enough fighting power at that moment.

Even if his other Dao foundation was still under consolidation, he already had the strength of an established sacrificial wine.

However, facing the people of the Dark Hall would still be risky. He should take more precautions!

In the midst of his thoughts, the charm summon shattered, turning into five Fuwas.

After the Fuwas appeared, they twisted their bodies constantly, a little unaccustomed to their new forms.

Wang Zijia observed them for a while, then flipped his hand and took out the prepared forty bottles of explosive spirit pills, throwing eight bottles at each ghost.

"Try it, let’s see the effect."

Big Baby was the first to pick up a bottle, cautiously sniffed it, frowned subconsciously at the smell of medicine, then under Wang Zijia’s watchful gaze, took out a pill and swallowed it.

After consuming the pill, a slight tumult occurred within Big Baby, but it was nothing compared to the drastic surge in Wang Zijia’s aura during his Child Stage.

Wang Zijia frowned slightly, and his mind shifted. The weight on the cover of the Jadeite Jade Book flashed and brought Wang Zijia to his blood-red Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

"Value +18!"

Seeing the value of eighteen, Wang Zijia frowned. The effect was worse than he expected. It seemed that the Explosive Spirit Pill was not the best elixir for Five Ghosts to enhance their cultivation.

"But it will do for now, I’m broke anyway!" Wang Zijia said somewhat exasperated.

He then instructed the Five Ghosts to start consuming the elixir.

Compared with Wang Zijia, the Five Ghosts had the advantage. Given their unique physical condition, they could swallow bottle after bottle of elixor without any major issues, allowing for very quick conversion.

If Wang Zijia dared to do the same, he would no doubt explode in minutes.

Eventually, after going through forty bottles of Explosive Spirit Pill, running out of magic money, unable to continue training the Five Ghosts, he put them away and left the somewhat eerie basement.

...

Time flew, and half a month had passed.

After half a month of refining and familiarization, Wang Zijia had everything prepared.

Wang Zijia, who felt going crazy from poverty, didn’t want to delay any longer. He thought he could at least start with some random low-ranking minions to test the waters and earn some money on the side. If he continued to be poor, he’d go mad.

That night, Wang Zijia disguised himself as an old Taoist and left Biyi Court quietly, departing from the Qifu Faction.

The Essence Blood Vein, West City District.

There were numerous buildings here, housing countless low-ranking disciples, belonging to the area within the faction where life was most vibrant.

The streets and alleys, various courtyards scattered throughout, were home to disciples from all over the Wanyu Sect.

If it weren’t for the various spiritual lights flashing, it would have been no different from a mundane city in ancient times.

Wang Zijia, driving a paper kite, quietly landed in a fairly decent courtyard.

"Senior!"

In the courtyard, there was a young man who had been waiting for a while, and as soon as he saw Wang Zijia, he knelt in reverence, his eyes flashing with fear.

Wang Zijia looked at him indifferently, sizing him up for a moment before saying, "Seems like your months of recuperation have gone well."

This man was none other than the second undercover agent embedded in the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain: Liu Chengyu. He was put into a coffin at the demonic banquet. Luckily, he survived and made it to the end.

As for the thirteen Undercover Agents in the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, Wang Zijia had planned to rescue them, but things went downhill and they were all lost eventually.

"Thanks to Senior, I recovered in the Pill Institute for over a month and almost healed." Liu Chengyu kneeled and said respectfully.

"During these months, have you seen Vice Faction Master Gou Hongyuan? Or have the other high-ranking officials of the Dark Hall noticed anything unusual about you?" Wang Zijia looked at him and asked.

Liu Chengyu’s heart tightened, and he hastily said, "Senior, I swear I’ve had no second thoughts!"

Wang Zijia frowned and said, "I meant to ask if they had noticed anything strange about you."

Liu Chengyu wanting to prove his loyalty, was taken aback and then said, "No, not at all. I’ve met with the Vice Faction Master twice, and he didn’t notice that the oath you pulled out of me."

Wang Zijia nodded. It seemed that the Devil’s Oath, though secret and crafty, was too concealed and only of the passive triggering type.

As Wang Zijia was deep in thought, he strolled around the courtyard a few times, examining the surroundings, and asked, "Have you prepared the relevant information?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Chengyu immediately got up and followed him, saying carefully, "It’s all set. I control a squad, totaling ten members from the Dark Hall."

As he spoke, he carefully handed over some material, and said, "These people are the disciples under my command in the Blood Hidden Group."

Wang Zijia stopped, took the material from him, and began to browse through it slowly.
