Chapter 33

Lang Tianya chuckled and said, "It seems Senior Brother Hu still remembers me. Senior Brother Hu, are you interested in this Spirit Ghost Herb? This kind of medicinal herb is one of the ingredients for refining the Ghost Qi Pill for the Ghost Charm during the Qi Cultivation stage. However, the growth and cultivation speed of Ghost Charms is much faster than that of human cultivators, so even without taking the pill, it’s not a problem. Therefore, the price of this Spirit Ghost Herb is not very high. Since Senior Brother Hu is interested in this herb and we are both new disciples, I will give this Spirit Ghost Herb to you, Senior Brother Hu!"

Hu Donghan frowned, naturally seeing through Lang Tianya’s intentions—Lang Tianya had clearly noticed the law enforcement disciple uniform on Hu Donghan and found him to be easy to talk to, so he wanted to build a relationship with Hu Donghan. However, Hu Donghan was not the type of person who would willingly be used.

Hu Donghan shook his head and said, "That won’t do. Since Junior Brother Lang is selling medicinal herbs, if I take it directly, it would be no different from taking it by force. This Spirit Ghost Herb is priced at about twenty spirit stones in the market. I will give you twenty spirit stones." Without waiting for Lang Tianya to refuse, Hu Donghan directly handed over twenty spirit stones to Lang Tianya and then took the Spirit Ghost Herb from the stall.

Lang Tianya hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Hu, it doesn’t need to be so much! It doesn’t need to be so much! This Spirit Ghost Herb was dug up by me, so Senior Brother just needs to give me a little compensation, really, it doesn’t need to be so much..."

As Lang Tianya spoke, he suddenly noticed that Hu Donghan’s expression had not changed, and he was still maintaining a stern face. By the end of his words, Lang Tianya’s tone became awkward, and he stopped speaking. With Hu Donghan’s attire, once he was silent, none of the cultivators setting up stalls here would feel at ease.

However, Lang Tianya’s reaction made Hu Donghan slightly surprised—although Lang Tianya was now afraid, he was not terrified.

Hu Donghan paused slightly and then said, "Junior Brother Lang, are these soul rings beside you filled with wandering souls?"

Lang Tianya immediately nodded and said, "Yes, these soul rings are all filled with wandering souls! These are all low-grade soul rings, each containing ninety wandering souls, priced at one spirit stone. In the sect, many senior brothers are busy with cultivation and don’t have time to hunt ghosts. Some magical tools and spirit tools need regular replenishment of ghost souls, so I do this kind of business as a side job. As long as you bring a low-grade soul ring and one spirit stone, you can take a soul ring filled with wandering souls from me, which is very convenient."

The trade of wandering souls? At this moment, Hu Donghan felt that Lang Tianya was a bit like a living Lei Feng. Whatever he needed, Lang Tianya was selling it here.

Hu Donghan said, "I see. I also need some wandering souls. I have two soul rings here, so let’s start with the wandering souls for these two soul rings."

"Yes! Yes!" Lang Tianya had already understood Hu Donghan’s personality and obediently took the soul rings and spirit stones from Hu Donghan, then handed him two soul rings.

After the transaction was completed, Hu Donghan asked curiously, "Junior Brother Lang, do you catch these wandering souls yourself?"

Lang Tianya was slightly taken aback and then laughed, "Senior Brother Hu, you’re joking. If I had to catch all these soul rings myself, how could I manage it? Actually, these wandering souls in the soul rings are caught by fellow disciples when they go out to hunt ghosts. Wandering souls are not difficult for us cultivators to capture, and it’s quite simple. If a fellow disciple is willing to help, they can take some empty low-grade soul rings from me. For ten low-grade soul rings filled with wandering souls, I give them three spirit stones. This way, the fellow disciples can earn some extra money, and I just make a profit from the difference..."

"Do you accumulate these soul rings this way?" Hu Donghan was slightly surprised after hearing Lang Tianya’s explanation—Lang Tianya was indeed a talent in business!

Lang Tianya shook his head and said, "Of course not! If I accumulated them slowly, how could I have so many soul rings in just three months since I entered the sect? Actually, it’s quite simple. Most disciples have more than one low-grade soul ring. When a senior brother comes to buy wandering souls, if that senior brother has extra soul rings, I will negotiate with him to temporarily borrow the extra soul rings and gradually repay them with wandering souls. Because of this method, I was able to accumulate so many soul rings in a short time..."

Talent! A real talent!

Hu Donghan couldn’t help but sigh. If Lang Tianya were on Earth, he would definitely have the potential to become a great tycoon.

"You have a good mind! If you continue like this, one day you will establish your own business association." Hu Donghan praised.

Lang Tianya hurriedly laughed, "Thanks to Senior Brother’s good words, my family in the secular world is a merchant family. My goal is indeed to establish a large business association that dominates the Southern Sky Region!"

"Then I wish you success." Hu Donghan said, then hesitated slightly before asking, "Junior Brother Lang, can you deliver two soul rings of wandering souls to me every three days?"

Lang Tianya was stunned for a moment and then said, "What’s the need for delivery! If Senior Brother Hu needs them, I can deliver them every day without any trouble. We all live in the same courtyard, so it’s very convenient." At this point, Lang Tianya had already understood Hu Donghan’s personality and did not mention having Hu Donghan take all the wandering souls at once. Instead, he readily agreed to Hu Donghan’s request.

After thanking Lang Tianya again, Hu Donghan left the disciples’ market.

After Hu Donghan left the disciples’ market, the expressions on the faces of the disciples in the market became increasingly strange—according to their understanding, law enforcement disciples should be those who always maintained a stern face and would take out their frustrations on outer sect disciples if they were in a bad mood. How could they be so amiable? Could it be that law enforcement disciples were not as terrifying as rumored?

Many of these outer sect disciples in the market believed they had understood the "true nature" of law enforcement disciples from Hu Donghan, but it wasn’t until they encountered real law enforcement disciples that they realized how unique Hu Donghan was.

...

Back in his room, Hu Donghan took out the Spirit Ghost Herb and then released the ordinary ghost.

The ordinary ghost was still plump, looking over-nourished. Upon smelling the Spirit Ghost Herb, it instinctively recoiled and hid in the corner of the room.

Hu Donghan was not surprised by this.

The ordinary ghost’s reaction was normal for a ghost charm. An ordinary ghost with no attributes would instinctively reject anything that could change its nature and would not want to approach it. What Hu Donghan needed to do was to make the ordinary ghost receive the fragrance of the Spirit Ghost Herb and transform its body with the fragrance, becoming a medicinal ghost!
