Chapter 1604: Chapter 1118: Information Gap

Si Ming clearly knows he doesn’t have much time.

From the moment he stole the Supreme Treasure and escaped Hell, Fengdu would surely spare no effort in pursuing him until he is captured.

If it weren’t for the tight schedule and the special circumstances that offered the chance, he wouldn’t have planned to rush the theft and escape. Now, the Supreme Treasure has been in his possession for quite some time, avoiding Fengdu’s repeated investigations, yet he still can’t unlock the protective shield surrounding it.

Truly a headache for a ghost!

The courtyard by the Yellow Springs, whatever its purpose, is certainly Fengdu’s handiwork.

Among the Three Realms, the Celestial Realm’s collapse is of no concern; the Human Realm’s human, demon, and devil cultivators are increasingly inept, lacking the ability to enter Fengdu and unseal the Old Underworld, let alone construct a courtyard under his nose.

Thus, it can only be Netherworld’s most powerful Fengdu making moves.

"Reconstructing the dwelling place of the Ghost God Meng Po, what does it imply? Could it be that the Ghost God Meng Po wants to return?" Si Ming frowned, his thoughts involuntarily scattered.

Years ago, he heard all sorts of rumors that the Netherworld Gambling God had reincarnated as a demon cultivator in the Human Realm.

Whether it’s true or false, Fengdu over there hasn’t shown any reaction, probably not believing it. Of course, they might believe but have no way, as a cultivator dies and disappears upon cultivation, it’s impossible to become a ghost and re-enter the Netherworld. Even if Fengdu goes to welcome it, what can be done?

A reincarnated Ghost God that cannot return is equivalent to having none.

Blame it on his bad luck, taking a road of no return.

Vacating this divine position may give other ghost cultivators a chance to ascend and occupy it; Fengdu’s best choice is to play dumb, secretly cultivating its power to compete for the next Gambling God.

The commotion by the Yellow Springs seems to be sending some signal, if the Ghost God Meng Po truly returns, can she tidy up this mess of the Old Underworld and renew its vigor?

Whether they can act, a True God returning will certainly pose a threat to his ascension plan, he has to accelerate to a more extreme speed!

Si Ming was anxious, several orders were issued in rapid succession.

"More money? Still more money?!" Gambling Ghost Changying furrowed his brow with worry, not daring to shout loudly.

He stomped, paced with hands behind his back, grimacing as if his teeth hurt, "A dignified Ghost General, even if wanting to cultivate and ascend, should at least require Cold Crystal Jade, even demanding Immortal Jade is fine, why focus on Spirit Stone all the time? Does he know how hard it is for me to travel to the Human Realm to fetch Spirit Stone?"

After complaining a bit, Gambling Ghost Changying knew making money is solely his job. To follow his master in ascension, he has to rush into the fray to prove value.

Speaking of which, he’s really just dissatisfied with his master’s extravagant spending, over a million Spirit Stones gone in less than half a month. If truly asking for Cold Crystal Jade or Immortal Jade, that would be truly distressing!

The former is for ghost cultivators, after Fengdu purged the Netherworld’s loose cultivators, they disappeared, excessive money-making would reveal traces to Fengdu; the latter requires a channel to exchange for some Immortal Jade, even worse for ghost cultivators.

Calculating, indeed only the Human Realm’s Spirit Stone is relatively accessible.

The Wilderness World can’t be visited anymore.

You can’t keep plucking wool from the same place, especially since previously to acquire the Yin Messenger Official Hat for easier travel, the events got too big. Fengdu already displeased with losing the Supreme Treasure, surely investigating now, any discovery of clues could lead to capture.

It’s tough in Hell, under no circumstances can he be caught back again.

"Find a small world no one cares about, set up some gambling rounds, scoop a sum and run!" After much contemplation, Changying decided to use his old skills, shoot and change locations.

Once he gets enough Spirit Stone needed by his master, he’ll stop immediately!

After contemplating for a moment, he wore the Yin Messenger Official Hat, stood in the array set by his master, recited words, turned three circles left and three right, and his figure disappeared.

"Idiot!" Feeling every disturbance clear, Si Ming cursed silently, thinking, "I do need Immortal Jade, can you damn get it? Not to mention Cold Crystal Jade. Any amount over a hundred thousand or eighty thousand will surely attract Fengdu’s investigation."

Dodging detection with you bunch of underlings is already impressive enough, do you not think it’s risky and exhilarating enough?

His gaze returned to the sparkling sphere in his hand, toying with it while pondering how to modify the array.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld Fengdu’s dark main hall, Qu Luming was flaunting the incense in his hand, "See this? This is a real treasure! Do you think Nine Heavens Profound Ganoderma Fragrance is the best already? Hah! This Nine Heavens Spirit Fragrance is even better!"

Judge Lu Huai nodded in agreement, staring intently at the incense, wishing he could consume half of it with his gaze.

"To say Mr. Jiang is indeed a Celestial God incarnate, I suspect he might have brought the entire Celestial Realm packed in a Storage Bag, with so many endless good things?" Qu Luming marveled, shaking a large incense, twice as thick and long as a regular offering incense, "Look at this color, its material, only Celestial Realm’s spiritual herbs could produce such things..."

Before he could brag more, the judge eagerly said, "My good brother, you’ve been praising it for nearly an hour now, does this incense ever get consumed?"

I know Mr. Jiang is remarkable, and you are fortunate to have latched onto a golden thigh, and every casual reward is a treasure. Since you’re showing it off, let your brother taste a bit of this Nine Heavens Spirit Fragrance, what does it feel like?"

Qu Luming’s excessively pale face wrinkled slightly, his expression intriguing, "Brother Lu, I’ve made my point so clear, how come you’re still not getting it?"
