Chapter 1367 Worrying About Gains and Losses
Speaking of which, it was even more difficult for me to clear the Hundred Ghost Map with my ninth-level Golden Core cultivation than the original One-horned Ghost King, because at the end of the level, the One-horned Ghost King encountered at most late-stage Nascent Soul ghost cultivators. They are all in the same realm and do not go beyond the realm of Yuanying. However, when Qingyang reaches the back, he encounters all ghost cultivators of Yuanying. They have crossed a large realm and are much more difficult.
From what the Thousand Jiao Ghost King said, it seemed that he had no ill feelings towards the One-horned Ghost King. Before coming, Qingyang had thought about whether he could use the influence of the One-horned Ghost King to establish a relationship with the Baimei Ghost King, and thereby climb up to the Long-Eyebrow Ghost King. I found a way to treat Yu Mengmiao, but after thinking about it later, it still wasn't right.
I don't know whether these people are friends or foes of the One-Horned Ghost King, and I can't judge the deeper relationship based on their superficial goodwill. Since the One-Horned Ghost King has chosen to come quietly, I can't spoil his affairs in a big way, so I can Try not to mention him if you don't mention him.
Thinking of this, Qingyang said: "I wonder when Baimei Ghost King will be able to receive us?"
Qianjiao Ghost King said: "My junior sister's cultivation has reached a critical juncture recently and she is in retreat. I'm afraid it will take more than a month to come out. If there is nothing urgent, you two can stay in the city lord's mansion for a while first and wait until my junior sister finishes her retreat. Receive.”
Qingyang's matter is neither urgent nor urgent. The purpose of his coming here is firstly to help the One-horned Ghost King, and secondly to treat Yu Mengmiao. At present, there is no clue about the One-horned Ghost King's affairs, so he needs to inquire slowly, and The relationship with Baimei Ghost King is finally getting closer. I can't give up at all. It's just waiting for more than one month, which is nothing. Besides, Qingyang has just cleared the Hundred Ghost Map and is in extremely poor condition in all aspects. Now is the time when we need to take a good rest, so why not stay here for a while and wait until we meet Baimei Ghost King to talk about other things.
So Qingyang nodded and said: "Then it's up to the guest to do as he pleases."
The Thousand Jiao Ghost King said: "That's very good. I will send someone to arrange a courtyard for you to live in immediately. There will be servants waiting outside the courtyard at any time. If you need anything, just give them instructions..."
Qianjiao Ghost King exchanged a few words with the two of them, and then sent a Yuanying monk to lead them to a courtyard at the back. Everything was arranged. The Yuanying monk stood up to say goodbye. Qingyang and Dou Changzai were there. Stayed here. According to the Qianjiao Ghost King, there were indeed two Jindan monks waiting outside the courtyard at any time, and the preparations were quite thorough.
After settling in, Qingyang went into seclusion in his room. Although it had been more than a day since he killed the last ghost in the Hundred Ghost Map, Qingyang's condition did not improve much. Only half of the true energy has been recovered, and the spiritual sense is still far away. It will take at least half a month to fully recover. The sequelae of the blood-burning technique have passed, but the body is still a little exhausted, plus the large and small wounds on the body. , it can no longer be delayed.
After Qingyang and the others were arranged, Qianjiao Ghost King and other people from the City Lord's Mansion did not bother him again. Dou Changzai knew about Qingyang's situation and did not come to bother him again. Qingyang stayed in his room for a month. time, until the injury was completely recovered and the whole person returned to his peak condition, he ended the retreat and walked out of his room.
During the days when Qingyang was recovering from his injuries, Dou Changzai couldn't calm down. In the final analysis, Qingyang had a too great impact on him. He was also a golden elixir cultivator, so why were others so much better than him? Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not be able to calm down for a while.
Dou Chang had too many things to say and too many questions to ask in his heart, but because Qingyang was in retreat, he could not find anyone to talk to. He wanted to go out for a walk, but he was afraid that without Qingyang to lead the way, he would not be able to talk to him again after he went out. He couldn't enter the Ghost King's Mansion, so he could only hold those words in his heart. Now that Qingyang has finished his retreat, he finally found someone to listen to.
Qingyang knew that Dou Changzai was a talkative, so he barely interrupted in the middle and allowed this guy to talk for nearly half an hour. Until finally, Dou Changzai finally changed the topic and said: "Fellow Taoist Qingyang, the recent paragraph I don’t have much expectations for the Baimei Ghost King anymore. It doesn’t matter whether I see it or not. Do you think I still need to stay here?”
Qingyang asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say it many times before? That Baimei Ghost King is so charming and charming that all male cultivators will never forget it when they see it. Your biggest wish when you come here is to meet Baimei Ghost King in person. Why now? Suddenly changed your mind?"
Dou Changzai said: "It's not that I suddenly changed my mind, but I saw that her senior sister was very ugly and completely different from her name. I was afraid that the rumors were all based on rumors. It's better to meet her than to be famous. Instead of being disappointed after meeting, it's better to keep it in my heart." A mystery."
After listening to Dou Changzai's words, Qingyang couldn't help but smile and said: "You are obsessed with appearance. The more expectations you have in your heart, the more you worry about gains and losses. In fact, at their level of cultivation, appearance is no longer very important, and ghost cultivators are not like us. Human monks are different. The appearance of human monks is innate. To change their appearance, they need to use illusion or disguise. After removing the illusion or disguise, their original appearance is still the same. However, ghost cultivators are different. The body is acquired through cultivation and can be adjusted according to one's own wishes. You can do whatever you want. This Qianjiao Ghost King may have deliberately adjusted it like this because of some quirks. Since the Baimei Ghost King has Such rumors shouldn’t be much different from the rumors.”
Dou Changzai is also a Jindan cultivator who has been practicing for a long time. Of course, he also understands this point. It's just that he is too concerned. After listening to Qingyang's words, he nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyang is right. I took this matter too seriously, so I am a little worried. Since I am here and have paid such a high price, I must see the truth to resolve the doubts in my heart."
After the baptism of dozens of consecutive battles in the Hundred Ghosts Map, Qingyang has gained a lot during this period. Whether it is strength, combat experience, or even cultivation, it has improved slightly. If he breaks through the Hundred Ghosts Map again now, Qingyang will definitely not be as strenuous as last time.
With his strength improved, he will soon meet the Hundred Charming Ghost King again. Qingyang is in a good mood. There is nothing to do at this time, so he simply accompanies Dou Changzai to continue chatting. I don't know how long it has been, but there is a sound of dispute outside the yard, and the two of them immediately stop and listen.
Then a voice said, "Please forgive me, Ghost King Qianjiao has specifically instructed us not to allow outsiders to disturb the two guests inside. If Pluto Cheng'en wants to go in, he needs to get Ghost King Qianjiao's consent first."
