Chapter 121: Ghosts (VII)

In a world where evil is constantly breeding and evil spirits are constantly causing troubles, even if a person has never encountered a ghost, his body will be invaded by evil spirits to some extent. He may not feel anything wrong on weekdays, but over the years, it will lead to various diseases and premature death in middle age. Therefore, the effect of spiritual wine concerns everyone in the country, from the president to the beggar, so the topic of spiritual wine quickly became the hot list of social platforms.

Not long after, the official blog of Ning Group announced that 5,000 bottles of spiritual wine would be put on the shelves again, and the price would still be 500. The 10,000 bottles were for the grand opening promotion, and the original price would be restored afterward. For the last 5,000 bottles, each person is limited to purchasing one bottle. The quickest one will get it, and whoever grabs it will make a profit.

The price increase was expected by everyone. Everyone also thought that 500 yuan was too cheap for such a good effect and precious spiritual power. Think about it, a bottle of fine wine without any spiritual power can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions. This bottle of wine can cleanse the internal Yin and filth and is better than medicine. 500 yuan is too cheap. However, the existence of Yin and filth in the body is a common problem for everyone in the country. If it becomes sky-high, most ordinary people can't afford it at all, and it will become a luxury that only rich people can enjoy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad. While preparing my equipment to grab the goods, I left a message online:

[Poverty is indeed the most incurable disease...]

[It's so sad. I hope the original price won't be too high. 】

[I just want to ask, can Lingli wine be included in medical insurance reimbursement...]

[Thinking about how I could have owned a bottle of spiritual wine, but I returned it myself, I cry to death]

When the sale started, everyone immediately used their invisible hands to quickly purchase and pay. However, it only took a few seconds from the start of sales to sold out. Many people felt that they had just come in one second, and the next second, all 5,000 bottles were gone.

Those who got it were overjoyed, while those who didn't were screaming like groundhogs. They could only cry and go to Ning's official blog to ask when they would be restocked and also to ask what the original price was...

Just when netizens were imagining how much the price of the spiritual wine would rise, Ning's company issued another announcement. People rushed in to see that the original price had only one more zero!! Five thousand is not a small amount, not to mention that this bottle of wine is only 150 ml, and girls can drink it in five or six sips. But because they imagined it too high, looking at the 5,000, they just thought it was damn cheap, and most families can afford it! Even if you can't be extravagant and have a small cup a day, buy a bottle every three or four months, and each of the four people in the family can share a cup. It is also very good for the body to clear the internal Yin dirt!

Because the reservation channel had been opened, people rushed in to place orders, and in less than an hour the sales volume exceeded one million bottles. Ning Xiao was worried about selling too few bottles before, and now he is worried about too many orders. He is worried about whether An Cui's health can bear it.

"Spiritual power is a renewable resource. It doesn't become less as you use it." An Cui stood in the yard, drawing her bow and looking at the target 50 meters away. She said, "Don't forget how much evil energy there is in Heilan Mountain."

The arrow left the bowstring and flew forward, hitting the center of the bull's eye, a perfect ten!

Her spiritual power recovered quickly because she often read and understood those famous metaphysical works in her mind. The more she understood, the more abundant her spiritual power became. She used up all her spiritual power to purify the thick evil air in the Black Orchid Mountain completely at once. She didn't know how many of those 150 ml small bottles would have to be piled up to make it as high as the Black Orchid Mountain.

...

Pu Hongti looked at the sudden change in word of mouth and reviews online, as well as the rocket-like speed at which An Cui's store's sales ranking in Tianshi's online store soared. She gritted her teeth and felt that An Cui was like an indestructible cockroach, who would pop up again if she wasn't careful.

"Luo Yang, can something made by a Taoist priest that has not been certified by the Taoist Association be sold at will? How can the quality of the product be proven? It may be a good thing at first glance, but what if it is a poison? The Taoist Association has an obligation to investigate such "three-no" products and "three-no" personnel, right?" Pu Hongti said coldly, looking at his disciple who was of who-knows-how-many generations old.

Luo Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, Master."

Luo Yang walked out of the door, his expression gloomy where Pu Hongti couldn't see. He called his father, who is now the head of the sect, and told him that Pu Hongti wanted to mess with An Cui again.

"How long should I follow her? Although you said that you can learn a lot from her, I haven't learned much so far. She doesn't seem to want to teach me. She basically treats me like a servant. Is she really the founder of our Xuanling Sect? Why is she so narrow-minded? I don't know how that person offended her. This kind of genius should have come to our academy." Luo Yang couldn't help but vent. Three months ago, An Cui was still an unknown person who came to their Xuanling Academy to study. Three months later, she taught herself and purified the Black Orchid Mountain with one arrow. This is not just excellent talent, she is clearly a genius, okay? This genius should have been a member of their Xuanling Sect.

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said, "Don't talk nonsense! It's treasonous! It would be terrible if your master heard it! The most important thing about your master is not the lost spells and formations, but the several complete books of the true scriptures in her mind! When she completes the true scriptures, our Xuanling Sect will become the largest sect, and all the Xuanmen people will have to rely on us. What does it matter if that person is a genius? Compared with the value of your master, it is not worth mentioning."

Because of the grapes, the Xuanling Sect sent some of its forces in the Tianshi Association to the police station, and brought along police officers who were of the same ilk as them, to find An Cui's current address.

At the same time, some celestial masters on social media platforms questioned An Cui. They had millions of fans, and once they provoked a fight, public opinion began to reverse, and the number of pre-orders that kept rising began to slow down. And these celestial masters were all from the Xuanling Sect without exception.

...

An Cui was meeting with several senior government officials. Father Ning introduced them to the two sides with a smile: "Director Fang, Secretary Han, this is Master An."

"I have heard of you for a long time, and finally I can say I have met you..."

"Master An's arrow was truly unprecedentedly brilliant!"

Although An Cui looked young, her bearing and the sacredness that emanated from her made it impossible for anyone to underestimate her. The two sides intentionally closed the distance between them and sat down in the corridor soon after.

The scenery in the yard was beautiful, but they had no time to appreciate it. Their eyes could not be taken away from the green liquid that An Cui poured into the wine glass. As soon as An Cui handed the glass to them, they reached out to take it impatiently. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel that the smell of this glass of wine makes me feel comfortable.

They looked at each other and drank it all in one gulp. They really felt the effect immediately. They could clearly feel that after the liquid entered their throats, a comfortable coolness accompanied by a not-uncomfortable burning sensation spread to wherever it passed as if all the filth was burned away and the corroded and rotten flesh was nourished again.

Secretary Han was particularly affected. When he was a child, his fate was changed by someone. His destiny of being extremely rich and noble was taken away by force, which made him weak and sickly since childhood, and he had bad luck. If someone hadn't discovered the clues in the end, and the family had done its best to invite masters from all sides, he would have died long ago. Although he survived, the evil spirit had entered his body for several years, leaving him with sequelae. He often felt cold inside, and sometimes even his bone marrow hurt. This feeling of coldness coming from the inside of the body could not be relieved no matter how high the heating was turned. But after drinking this glass of wine, although it did not completely disappear, he also felt that the evil spirit had been purified a lot, and he felt much more comfortable.

"Master An's spiritual wine is truly extraordinary. But spiritual power is so precious, and other masters all cherish it and use it carefully. They would feel sad if they wasted it. Master An is so extravagant, and you don't feel sorry for it, but we all feel sorry for you." Secretary Han said with a gentle smile. His elegant face with glasses had some affinity, and if you were not careful, you would be confused and think he was someone who was easy to get along with.

An Cui: "Other masters have to save their spiritual power to fight against evil spirits, so they naturally cherish it. But I offended the Xuanling Sect for unknown reasons, and all the Xuan academies in the country rejected me. So I can neither draw spells nor understand formations. The only thing I have is this spiritual power. On weekdays, other masters protect the peace of the world, and I will protect the strength of the motherland."

Secretary Han laughed out loud with satisfaction at the implication in An Cui's words. "Great, great... Master, you are so generous. This is good for the people and the country. If you need any help, just let me know..."

An Cui was chatting happily when people from the Tianshi Association and the police arrived. At first, they were the real culprits. They broke in and said they would take An Cui back to the bureau for investigation. They also wanted to search the house to see if there was any spiritual wine to be taken for investigation. When Director Fang and Secretary Han came out with sullen faces, the lackeys were trembling with fear, and the faces of several people from the Tianshi Association also looked a little unhappy.

The two high-ranking officials also looked unhappy. Since when did the Tianshi Association have the right to investigate a citizen and allow him to sell items? Moreover, they could call the national police to break into private homes without a search warrant or reporting procedures, and arrest people and search things!

When society developed into what it is now, when people's minds had another force with great credibility besides the government, and when metaphysics could compete with science, the cooperation and game between the Tianshi Association and the government began. And it is obvious that in recent years, the Tianshi Association has shown signs of being in the upper hand. Their power has penetrated into the government, and many civil servants are their believers. If one employee listens to two bosses, how can things be done well? How can the country be good?

At this time, they need to find a breakthrough, and An Cui is this breakthrough, a master who is not a member of Xuanmen but has the ability to compete with them. Not only is he not a member of Xuanmen, but it can even be said that he has a grudge against them.

Therefore, those who came to make trouble not only failed to make trouble, but were taken away by police cars. Soon after, the government's major official blogs forwarded the Ning Group's announcement and praised An Cui and Ning's conscience for pricing. They almost sold wine for public welfare, clearly standing up for An Cui and clearing the name of Lingli Wine.

Since the government has spoken out with all its might, all the doubts raised by others seem pale and powerless. The Taoist priests who had been questioning An Cui fell silent collectively and quickly deleted their previous remarks.

What followed was an explosion of orders. The advance payment was non-refundable, even if the customer chose not to order the wine, the advance payment would not be refunded, which meant that the money really went into his pocket. When Father Ning saw the money he had earned in such a short period of time, he laughed heartily and asked the employees in charge to leave work early to celebrate. His employees also gave him a thumbs up again, saying that he was indeed the boss of a large group. His vision and courage were different.

Pu Hongti really didn't expect that the government would intervene in the end. Every time she wanted to beat An Cui down, An Cui would turn around and beat her harder until she felt dizzy and angry and her heart was blocked.

However, Luo Yang felt that this was natural, wasn't it? This kind of spiritual wine, let alone ordinary people, they, the same people, all wanted to buy it and drink it, it was so precious, and it would eventually change not one or two people, but a country. A strong people means a strong country, and a strong physique and a long life span of the people are the foundation of a strong country.

Pu Hongti was furious and wanted to do something, but now the commotion was so big that other elders of the Tianshi Association who were not from their Xuanling Sect had been alarmed. A quick investigation revealed that it was the Xuanling Sect that was behind the trick. They were severely warned, and although nothing would happen to them other than the warning, it was impossible for them to deal with An Cui so easily by just talking.

Pu Hongti was very depressed and couldn't find a way to deal with An Cui for a while. Fortunately, a light bulb suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered the very popular ghost king in the original text. An Cui played the role of Chen Lixiang. The ghost king was vindictive and even the heroine could only rely on his ashes to control him, which shows how powerful and cruel he was. Chen Lixiang was also a character who was retaliated in the original work.

Judging from the time, he should be showing up soon, right?

...

In the valley filled with gusts of cold wind, the smell of blood was so strong that it was foul, and flesh and body parts were everywhere. Judging from the clothes hanging on their bodies, most of them were black and blue Taoist uniforms. They were young people who had just graduated from Xuan Academy not long ago and had not yet formally passed the assessment of the Tianshi Association.

The young man and woman who agreed to go out and gain experience together, traveled around the country, killing ghosts and demons. They never expected to encounter such an evil path, let alone that he had a terrible evil ghost servant.

"Hahahaha, it's so pleasant, the taste of blood, Ayu, how does it feel to eat a soul full of justice?" The middle-aged man with a happy smile asked the loyal servant behind him.

He was the man who had set up a formation in a cave several months ago, attracting countless resentful ghosts and making them kill each other in order to refine ghost poison.

Behind him was a very handsome boy, who looked very thin and expressionless. His peach blossom eyes, which should have been very beautiful, were gloomy and numb. His nails were a little long and pointed, black, and dripping with blood. It was obvious that he had killed all those people just now. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy green light, and he looked like a ghost, not a human.

Such a dangerous ghost was right behind the man without any defense, but the man was not afraid at all, because this was a servant controlled by him. If he told him to go east, he could only go east. If he told him to kill people, he could not save people. Because he had swallowed too many resentful ghosts during the refining process, he had too many memories. Because there were too many, he could not remember anything. If he was subjected to other means, he became his puppet, without his own thoughts, and would only obey his orders. Moreover, he dropped a drop of his heart blood, if he dared to hurt him, the spirit of the evil ghost would also suffer the pain of being torn apart.

As he was thinking, he suddenly froze. He widened his eyes and looked down to see a hand inserted from behind into his chest. The hand was slender and beautiful, and even the black pointed nails seemed to only add a bit of weirdness to him. The hand retracted and pulled out his beating heart as it passed by.

Luo Chenyu held the heart in his hand. The man lying on the ground with his eyes open was still staring at him with wide eyes, as if asking why.

Why? Because the vague face that had often appeared in Luo Chenyu's blank mind during this period of time, which confused him, appeared again, and this time, along with this face, his memory also appeared. He remembered that his name was Luo Chenyu, and he had a blood feud to avenge.

He ignored the tearing pain caused by the backlash against the master, threw away the heart in his hand, tore out the man's soul and ate it. His eyes had turned blood red, and he headed towards the town.
