126: A wisp of spirit?!

Chu Yuan had only been gone for half a day when he suddenly received a message from Xing Yunting.

He opened it and saw:

"Kid, Xiao Huang Village has been occupied by a powerful Ghostly Creature. I need to report this to the higher-ups. Don't come back for now."

Seeing this message, Chu Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten about this person.

He pondered for a moment and sent two messages back to him:

"Brother Xing, there's no need to worry. I was just about to tell you about this. I happen to know about that Ghostly Creature. It was suppressed there by a passing Divine Realm Great Expert."

"That Great Expert asked me to inform you that she has set a Restriction on the Ghostly Creature, and it will guard the area within a hundred li. As long as the passing Human Race doesn't provoke it, it won't attack!"

Soon, Xing Yunting's message came through:

"Is that true?"

Chu Yuan replied: "It's true! Moreover, I have already become a disciple of this Great Expert and will Cultivate with her from now on."

"In addition, what Brother Xing wanted to investigate is three thousand li west of Xiao Huang Village. There are three Ghost Kings there. They were the ones who destroyed the Xiao Huang Village area. Master has already helped me get revenge."

A long time passed after this message, and then a message came from the other side:

"You, kid, truly have good fortune!"

"Cultivate well, and don't let your talent go to waste!"

Chu Yuan smiled slightly and sent a message:

"Understood, Brother Xing!"

The message was sent, but no further messages came back. Chu Yuan didn't think about it anymore.

Not long after.

Night fell.

In the cave, Little Bai was lying in Chu Yuan's arms, her round belly full, looking content.

"Chu Yuan, I wasn't a foodie, but you've turned me into one."

Chu Yuan's lips curved slightly, and he chuckled, raising his hand to stroke her fur.

Purple Rhyme sat by the side, her eyes thoughtful, wondering what she was thinking.

At a certain moment, she seemed to make up her mind, took a deep breath, and left the cave.

Chu Yuan looked up at her but didn't pay much attention.

He had great confidence in the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art and in himself.

Little Bai gently nudged, finding a comfortable position to lie down.

"Chu Yuan, didn't you kill those five people? Do you really still need to settle accounts with that Ghost Granny?"

Chu Yuan nodded, "If you don't cut the grass by the roots, it will grow again with the spring breeze!"

"Since Night Mantis said he was Ghost Granny's most beloved male consort, we have to consider Ghost Granny as a hidden danger, otherwise, I'm afraid she might suddenly stab us in the back one day."

"Currently, we are in the dark, and she is in the light, so the advantage is with us; if we don't deal with her, once she finds out about this matter, the offense and defense will be reversed."

Hearing this, Little Bai nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, as you decide!"

Chu Yuan rubbed her head and smiled slightly.

He secretly mused: Bai Zhi, Little Bai, this name really isn't wrong.

This fellow is like a blank sheet of paper, with a somewhat innocent and straightforward personality, and a bit too trusting.

However, with such a person following him, he felt much more at ease.

He was truly not good at the kind of intrigue and deception!

Chu Yuan smiled, pondered for a moment, and a wisp of his mind entered the primal origin space.

He had already done some classification of the gains he had previously acquired.

He kept one copy of everything useful as a source item, and the others were sorted and put away.

The useless ones were also packed in sumeru rings, and he would figure out how to dispose of them uniformly later.

As for those whose usefulness was unclear, they were all put aside.

He would deal with them later.

Looking at the various treasures in the primal origin space, his mood also improved significantly.

Everything was developing in a good direction. One day, he would surely ascend to the Peak of this world and completely control his own destiny.

To protect... the people he needed to protect!

Just then, Chu Yuan suddenly sensed something and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He raised his hand and a jade pendant appeared in his hand, "This jade pendant seems to have a problem!"

He clearly remembered that when he picked up the jade pendant, it was somewhat dull and lusterless.

But now, it actually had a bit more brightness, and a faint, ethereal aura.

"Could it be..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Chu Yuan's eyes brightened, and he felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

He quickly took out the jade pendant, shook Little Bai, "Little Bai, quickly help me take a look!"

"Look at what?"

Little Bai opened her eyes and said lazily.

Chu Yuan handed the jade pendant to her, saying eagerly, "I feel like it's changed. Please take a good look for me."

Little Bai poked the jade pendant, then suddenly let out a surprised sound, "Huh? Why didn't I notice it before? Let me take a good look."

Seeing this, Chu Yuan felt even more anticipation, staring intently at Little Bai.

A moment later.

Little Bai looked up at Chu Yuan, smiled and said, "Chu Yuan, there's a wisp of a Soul in here. Although it's very weak, it truly exists."

"A wisp of a Soul?"

Chu Yuan was slightly surprised, "What's the difference between it and the wisp of a Soul of Night Mantis that you extinguished?"

"No difference!"

Little Bai shook her head and smiled, "Most early Ghostly Creatures are formed because the living being's obsession before death didn't dissipate, carrying a wisp of a Soul to form a wisp of a Soul, which then constantly grew stronger."

"Later, after the appearance of Tier 3 Ghostly Creatures, the concept of reproduction gradually emerged."

"The Soul inside is very likely something the owner of the jade pendant entrusted to it before their death."

"The material of this jade pendant has a weak concealing effect, and this wisp of a Soul is also very weak. Plus, I didn't look closely before, so I didn't discover it."

Hearing this, a hint of joy surged in Chu Yuan's heart. Could Chu Xiaoxiao, that little girl, still have such good fortune?

He carefully put away the jade pendant, then, remembering something, looked at Little Bai and said:

"Little Bai, can you help me investigate the situation in Xiao Huang Village and see if there are any similar situations?"

"I can!"

Little Bai nodded, and her figure suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan's eyes held a bit more anticipation and apprehension.

"Will there be more?"

"If that little girl Xiaoxiao is okay, there's no reason why others wouldn't be, right?"

He mumbled, pacing back and forth in the cave, feeling somewhat restless.

At this moment, he truly felt like every day was a year.

Fortunately, this state didn't last too long before Little Bai returned.

"Little Bai, how is the situation?"

Seeing Little Bai return, Chu Yuan quickly went forward and asked.

But Little Bai's silence made his heart suddenly sink, feeling a bad premonition.

"Little Bai..."

He wanted to confirm again, but saw Little Bai shake her head, "Chu Yuan, I've investigated carefully, and there are none."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but close his eyes, letting out a soft sigh.

"I understand!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Little Bai!"

Little Bai shook her head, jumped up and landed in Chu Yuan's arms, "Don't be sad. Didn't you say that when people are alive, they should always look forward?"

"Yes!"

Chu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "To have Xiaoxiao as an exception is already a great blessing. I just had too high expectations."

Little Bai didn't speak, just gently rubbed her small head against Chu Yuan's chest, as if comforting him.

Chu Yuan stopped speaking, held her, and sat back down, stroking the fox with one hand while his consciousness entered the primal origin space.

He isolated a separate space, invisible from the outside, and placed the jade pendant inside.

Then, he remembered the ghost spirit wood carving entrusted by Tie Xiaohua and took it out.

"Little Bai seemed to have said that after a Ghostly Creature Breaks through to Tier 3, it must completely separate from its host object to continue improving its Cultivation."

"But before Tier 3, it cannot leave the area within a hundred li of its host object, and it will also fear the sun during the day, staying in its host object for a long time."

"After a Ghostly Creature dies, its Soul will return to heaven and earth, waiting to be reincarnated as a Ghostly Creature."

"But there is also one situation..."
