What If I Can't Die?-Chapter 145 - Becoming an Elder in the Heavenly Ghost Sect
145 Becoming an Elder in the Heavenly Ghost Sect
There was a hint of jealousy in Shi Tianya’s eyes because this old ghost’s appearance was too young.
Song Shi smiled faintly, “He’s just a rogue cultivator. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“That’s good. Please follow me!”
Lu Jiu was rather polite to Song Shi. In his opinion, the Blood-Robed old ghost would be a good tool to his sect as he had very little involvement with the outside world. As long as he can recover and be restored to his peak condition, the chances of him cultivating to the Nascent Soul realm were very high. At this moment, since he was helping him in his time of need. He would definitely be able to use him when the Heavenly Ghost sect faced difficulties.
Shi Tianya narrowed his eyes. He could tell that Song Shi was being taken seriously by Lu Jiu. However, seeing that Song Shi was only at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, he felt that he did not have to fight with him for any resources yet.
Song Shi followed Lu Jiu and the others to the Great Kraken Ship. This was the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s war Dharma treasure, which was equivalent to the aircraft carriers from his previous life.
This thing could really fly. Moreover, it was equipped with a large-scale attack Array Formation. When it was operating at full speed, it would definitely not be a problem to find opportunities to kill Golden Core cultivators.
The space of the ship was naturally very large. They flew straight to a hall at the top of the ship that was similar to a place reserved for welcoming guests. If one did not see the outer appearance of the ship, they would think that they had arrived at a palace.
Most of the hall was made of black wood and it gave off a cold aura. Within the faint mist, many beautiful and gentle white-clothed women served tea, snacks, and fruits.
Song Shi glanced at them. These women floated in the air, their feet not touching the ground, as if they were weightless.
This was not because their cultivation levels were strong or because they had a physique similar to Lu Youyou that allowed them to fly in the air, but because they were not human.
Ghosts!
Song Shi looked around. All the maidservants were female ghosts.
“Brother Blood Robes, you can take whichever one you like.”
Ghost Butcher chuckled. He knew that the Blood-Robed old ghost was considered a lecher. As long as they were beautiful, he did not discriminate between humans or ghosts.
The maids who had left looked at Song Shi shyly. This sight left Song Shi with an inexplicable feeling.
“I already have one. I don’t need anymore for the time being.”
Song Shi shook his head. If there comes a day that he really wanted to sleep with a ghost, he would be damned before that happens.
“It seems that fellow Daoist Blood Robes don’t like these low-grade goods. When we return to Nether City, I’ll give you a ghost bride. She’ll be at the level of a Ghost King. I guarantee that she’ll be strong enough to withstand you.”
Lu Jiu chuckled. Their Heavenly Ghost Sect could connect to the Nine Nether and there were many Ghost Kings and Ghost Emperors who were in contact with them. It was just that they could not appear easily in the outside world.
Song Shi was speechless. Did he really seem like that kind of person? He hadn’t even had his fill of sleeping with living women, did they really think that he would want to bed a female ghost?
He said righteously, “My heart is not there. The most important thing for me is to form the Nascent Soul. I’m not in the mood to do this for the time being.”
Lu Youyou pursed her lips. Who was the one who wanted to touch her thigh on the flying ship?
“Looks like you’re very confident, Blood Robes.”
Perfected Lord Ghost Butcher chuckled and said meaningfully, “However, if you want to recover to the peak of Restoration, you will have to consume a lot of resources. The last step requires the help of high-grade spirit items.
“Brother, you’re alone and have a great enemy like the Vajra Sect. It’s still very difficult for you to form your Nascent Soul steadily. Not to mention forming your Nascent Soul, you might not even be able to form your Golden Core at all. After all, you’ve already been exposed. Ordinary people won’t be able to guess your identity, but some other more powerful people might.”
These words were quite obvious in their intentions and even carried a hint of threat.
The Blood-Robed old ghost had many enemies and was the target of a sect-wide grudge by the Vajra Sect. Once the Heavenly Ghost Sect spread the news that he was not dead, there would definitely be a group of people who would rush over to kill him while he was still in a feeble state.
Song Shi frowned. He was not afraid that the Blood-Robed old ghost had enemies. In any case, he would not die. Instead, the enemies of the Blood-Robed old ghost had a higher chance of dying.
He frowned because he did not know how these guys knew that the Blood-Robed old ghost was not dead.
When the Blood-Robed old ghost revived, it directly possessed someone. His appearance was completely changed. At most, it would have been the same Dharma treasures, spells, and other recognizable methods that could have aroused suspicions. Even then, people would just suspect that someone had obtained the Blood-Robed old ghost’s inheritance.
Moreover, the Blood-Robed old ghost was also very cautious. He acted and scammed people every day, so he would not have revealed any information on his identity.
Not only did the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect know that the Blood-Robed old ghost was alive, but they also came to look for him directly. There must be some middle man in between.
Seeing the change in Song Shi’s expression, Lu Jiu and the others smiled, thinking that they had the Blood-Robed old ghost in their grasp.
Lu Youyou’s mood was even better. She laughed wildly in her heart. “Who asked you to be so arrogant? Now you must be eating your words right?”
In fact, Song Shi was only curious about why the Heavenly Ghost Sect would notice the Blood-Robed old ghost after he had revived.
“I know what you mean. You just want me to join you. Since I’m here, I naturally have that intention.”
Song Shi took the opportunity to express his thoughts.
“Then welcome, Daoist Blood Robes. Although your cultivation level is still at the Foundation Establishment realm, I can give you the treatment of an elder. Do you have any other requests? You can tell me.”
In their sect, only Golden Core cultivators could become elders. This offer was considered an exceptional treatment.
“I just want to know one thing.”
Song Shi extended a finger, “How did you know that I was still alive and how did you find me?”
Be it the Blood-Robed old ghost or him, this matter was quite important. After all, he was an undying person. It would not be good if he was monitored.
Lu Jiu smiled mysteriously. “This involves the secret technique of our Heavenly Ghost Sect. Back then, our seniors collected your blood and used the secret technique to sense your life and death fluctuations and approximate location. Back then, when you were surrounded by Vajra Sect, we guessed that you should have escaped to your current cave abode when given the opportunity. Recently, Bloodseeker Light appeared there, so it’s not difficult to guess that it was you.”
Song Shi was enlightened. In that case, the Blood-Robed old ghost had already died and his soul had been destroyed. The Heavenly Ghost Sect should not be able to lock onto him anymore.
In the future, he just had to pay attention to the blood in his body and not let others obtain it easily.
“Brother, don’t worry. This secret technique is only useful with one’s own blood. Now that you’ve already possessed and changed your body, you naturally won’t be detected again.”
Ghost Butcher comforted him.
“I hope so.”
Song Shi did not comment. The people of the demonic sect were even more shameless than the orthodox sects. A person like him who had no background could most likely be abandoned at any time when danger strikes.
Ghost Butcher and Lu Jiu looked at each other and nodded slightly. Ghost Butcher said, “There’s something else I have to tell you. There’s an ancient cultivator’s cave abode in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. It’s most likely left behind by a Soul Formation True Venerable or a Martial Venerable.”
Song Shi glanced sideways. The information about the cave abode in Hei Duzi’s memory was only the tip of the iceberg. He thought that it was some great opportunity to become an immortal. Clearly, these upper echelons of the Demon Cult had more information.
“Did you guys fight with Great Qian for this cave abode?”
“How is that possible? A Divine Transformation Realm cultivator’s cave abode is not enough to cause chaos in the world. The fight is happening because there are people who want to be the ruler of Great Qian.”
Lu Jiu said mockingly, “The resources they can obtain by being the ruler will be far above any sects’ ability.”
Song Shi nodded. A country with cultivators was definitely stronger than a sect. The ability to mobilize all the cultivators were not comparable at all.
For sects like the Yao Moon Palace to be ruled by Great Qian for 2,000 years, one could see how powerful Great Qian was, at its peak.
“Uncle Nightmare, arrange a residence for the Blood-robed Elder and treat him well.”
Lu Jiu instructed Old Man Nightmare and said to Song Shi, “Blood-robed elder, stay here and familiarize yourself with the environment. It’s best if you form your core as soon as possible. Only then will you have a chance to get a share of the resources in the cave abode.”
At the mention of core formation, Song Shi could not help but think of the demon seed. This thing was more suitable for him than ordinary elixirs. He took the opportunity to ask.
Lu Jiu shook his head. “I don’t have the Three Flower Demon Pill on me either. If you want, you can come into contact with the guys from Sky Demon Cult to obtain them. They like to use this thing to kill people and refine pills.”
