"Roar—!"
The cold blood in the ghost servants' bones was reignited, their pupils burning with fierce flames, and they sincerely recognized Su Xing as their big brother.
"Haha, a bunch of greenhorns." Su Xing revealed a hint of a comforting smile; he was also very happy.
"Whether there are many rules or not, what truly restrains oneself is a heart with a conscience!" Su Xing raised his hand to signal for silence, then slowly spoke, his tone deep and long.
What truly restrains oneself is a heart...
The ghost servants mumbled softly, deeply engraving these words in their hearts. Unconsciously, it felt like a sudden enlightenment, their eyes bright, as if they had gained some understanding.
"My ghostly thoughts have made a breakthrough!" At this moment, a ghost servant exclaimed in surprise.
"I am too, my cultivation bottleneck has been broken!" Another ghost servant called out in surprise.
"I have advanced two levels, now I am at the eighth level of a ghost servant!"
There were too many surprises, and the ghost servants were filled with joy, the pain in their bodies unconsciously diminishing.
Cui Qi gazed at Su Xing's smiling profile and couldn't help but be captivated.
Perhaps unintentionally, he saw something extraordinary.
Cui Qi seemed to see a ray of true sunlight piercing through the eternal gloom of the netherworld, a hint of melting on the ancient ice mountain, and a hundred boats racing above the decaying sunken ship in the deep sea!
"Hehe, it seems I've met an extraordinary person, a golden-scaled dragon or a prince?" Cui Qi muttered to himself, suddenly feeling that his previous provocation was so childish in Su Xing's eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Xing suddenly bent down and reached out to pull Cui Qi.
In Cui Qi's eyes, the pupils reflected Su Xing's figure and the sunlight coming from the side.
"Nothing's wrong." Cui Qi shook his head and smiled, grabbing Su Xing's outstretched hand and standing up again!
"Haha, that's good." Su Xing smiled, rubbed his hands, and said to the many ghost servants, "Now, big brother has a first task for you. Do you have the confidence to do it well?"
"Yes!" The ghost servants responded in unison, full of confidence.
"Brother Su, what is the task?" The ghost servants asked enthusiastically, wanting to prove their abilities and not be considered trash!
"The task... " Su Xing scanned the scene and smiled mysteriously, "The first task is to tidy up the scene and restore the damaged area!"
"Ah!" The ghost servants exclaimed in surprise.
"Have no confidence?" Su Xing's face turned cold, then he shook his head in disappointment and turned to leave.
"We have confidence!" The ghost servants shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
"What are you howling for!"
The loud noise finally attracted other ghosts, who seemed to be managers. One hand on their waist, they came forward with a fierce momentum, shouting from a distance!
"Good, with your words, I am reassured." Su Xing glanced at the approaching manager and smiled at the ghost servants. As the big brother, he should make a statement at this moment.
Thus, Su Xing walked towards the ghost servant who seemed to be a manager.
"It's not too late to admit your mistake now." The manager said.
"Admit my mistake?" Su Xing revealed a hint of an evil smile, suddenly extended his large hand, and in a lightning-fast motion, pressed him down.
With a loud thud, the ghost servant who seemed to be a manager was instantly buried in the ground by Su Xing, his mouth full of mud. If his head wasn't strong enough, he would have been bleeding.
"Clean up well, I'll be watching from upstairs." Su Xing said, turning back to the apartment.
The room was empty, all the furniture had been burned to ashes by the underground fire.
"The power of the underground fire is really great." Su Xing's eyes flashed, and a scene of fire plowing appeared in his left eye. A thread of underground fire floated out, hovering and jumping, its scorching heat no longer affecting Su Xing, and there was nothing left in the room for it to burn.
"If I had used the fire plowing ghost technique in the battle with Shen Gongbao and Cui Yu earlier, they probably wouldn't even have bone ash left now." Su Xing muttered to himself. Unconsciously, he was gradually showing an invincible posture. He believed that when he reached the ninth level of a ghost soldier and completed all seven soul wheels to the ninth level, he would likely be invincible at the ghost soldier level!
Being invincible at the same level is a separate matter. Defeating a few ghost servants was not a big deal. Even if Su Xing defeated them with overwhelming force, he did not feel the slightest bit of pride. They and the descendants of the big ghosts were not on the same level, and they had already fallen behind at the starting line, making it hard to catch up for a lifetime.
Su Xing took out the books from the ghost pocket and read them carefully. They recorded basic knowledge of alchemy and pill-making, suitable for beginners. They included the formula for ghost qi pills and a few other low-level pills, but even so, the price was exorbitant, draining Su Xing's pocket.
"The methods of alchemy and pill-making are varied, there is water refining, fire refining, and..." Su Xing read carefully.
"It says that fire refining is the most common method, and my underground fire is an excellent source of fire for fire refining..."
"The materials for making ghost qi pills, I see, the most common low-level herbs can be used, or even various neutral materials containing yin essence can be used as substitutes..."
Su Xing was immediately engrossed, completely fascinated. The content described seemed like another world, slightly different from cultivation, not about strengthening oneself, but more like creation and invention.
Time passed, and Su Xing read through the few books he had bought in one go. With his photographic memory, he had already memorized them, only lacking practice.
"Everything is ready, only the wind is missing! I now lack a cauldron for alchemy and pill-making." Su Xing said. He had thought about visualizing a cauldron, but it was impractical; he didn't have that ability yet, maybe in the future, he could create things out of thin air.
At this moment, Su Xing slapped his head, almost forgetting about the new subordinates he had just recruited. He hurriedly walked to the window.
"Good."
Su Xing leaned on the window frame, revealing a hint of a comforting smile. The messy scene below had been cleaned up, and even the ghost servant who seemed to be a manager in the area had been pulled out, and no one knew how he had been dealt with.
"Will they become a force?" Su Xing muttered to himself, as if asking himself. Before he left, he had given them a second task: to do a good job!
In the West Garden, in Dong Mei's boudoir.
Dong Mei's beautiful face was dark, staring at Shen Shi, who had a large bump on his head.
"What happened? Is this the promise you made to me!?" Dong Mei's face turned cold, and she scolded in a delicate voice.
"Who knew Su Xing was so powerful!" Shen Shi's head was still very painful, and he was only gasping. Being scolded by Dong Mei, he felt even more aggrieved.
"Powerful? How powerful can a new ghost servant be? Tell me!" Dong Mei's face was fierce, and she coldly snorted, thinking that Shen Shi was making excuses for his failure.
"Really, I invited Cui Yu from the Spring Breeze Courtyard and my uncle Shen Gongbao, but neither of them was a match for Su Xing. After a few rounds, my uncle and Cui Yu were at a disadvantage and wisely chose to retreat." Shen Shi said.
He pointed to the bump on his head: "Look, before my uncle carried me away, Su Xing, that devil, hit me with a rock!"
"Oh?" Dong Mei glanced at the bump on Shen Shi's head from a high position and said indifferently, "Isn't that great? Your head is prominent, it suits you."
"You!" Shen Shi's eyes filled with anger, but he suppressed it.
"Cui Yu from the Spring Breeze Courtyard and Shen Gongbao? They have some strength, but even together, they were no match for Su Xing. My interest in him grows even more."
"Hehe, the more fierce the horse, the more satisfying it is to conquer it." Dong Mei covered her cherry lips with a small sandalwood fan and giggled.
"You can leave!" Dong Mei said coldly to Shen Shi.
"What? What about the reward you promised me?" Shen Shi looked at Dong Mei in disbelief, "Bitch, I've only ever schemed against others, never been schemed against. It seems I can only force you now!"
At this moment, Shen Shi revealed his true face, fierce and cruel, his eyes filled with lust, and he looked at Dong Mei's well-proportioned body.
"Are you?" Dong Mei's expression didn't change, and she mocked him.
"Just me, Shen Shi!" Shen Shi roared like a wild beast, his strength soul wheel burst, ghost qi surged, and he pounced on Dong Mei with a fierce face.
"Haha, I'm coming!"
"Bang!" Dong Mei hit Shen Shi with her fan, "Clang!" He was directly thrown out of the room.
"Ghost, ghost weapon?!" Shen Shi exclaimed in disbelief as he fainted.
"En, go to hell!" Dong Mei said coldly and called a servant.
"Drag that trash out, I don't want to see him again." Dong Mei ordered.
"Yes." The servant responded and dragged the unconscious Shen Shi away.
Dong Mei glanced at him and said softly, "Su Xing... It seems I underestimated him. Unless I take action myself, none of my subordinates will be a match for him. I can only use strategy..."
"Dong Yue." Dong Mei called the maid who had been thrown by Su Xing last time.
"Big sister, what's up?" Dong Yue asked.
"Go find Su Xing again." Dong Mei said.
"Ah!" Dong Yue's happy face immediately fell, and she subconsciously covered her tender bottom at the mention of Su Xing's name.
"Don't worry, this time, just do as I say, and you won't be thrown by Su Xing." Dong Mei said, rarely showing a smile.
Dong Yue looked at Dong Mei in surprise and said, "Big sister, you're smiling!"
"What, ugly?" Dong Mei's smile disappeared, and she immediately asked.
"No, very beautiful!" Dong Yue nodded in a daze.
"Really? Come closer, I'll tell you Su Xing's weakness. As long as you catch his weakness, you can definitely invite him over!" Dong Mei said confidently.
"Really?" Dong Yue didn't believe that the man without manners had any weakness, who dared to throw women, what could he be afraid of.
But Dong Yue still leaned in to listen to Dong Mei's whispers.
"It's like this, Su Xing's weakness is..." Dong Mei's voice grew softer and softer until it was inaudible.
"Is this his weakness?" Dong Yue asked half-believing, half-doubting.
"Are you going or not!" Dong Mei's face turned cold, and she said unhappily.
"I'll go, I'll go." Dong Yue had no choice but to treat it as a last resort. If Su Xing tried to throw her, she would run away quickly.
