My Silly, Sweet Wife

Watching something seemingly rolling out of the black magma, then slowly floating out.

Ye Guichen greedily swallowed his saliva.

If it truly is a Ghost Pill, missing this chance means who knows when the next opportunity might arise.

Since this thing can only be crafted by beings above the Divinity Transformation Realm, if I can obtain it, perhaps my cultivation will soar like a rocket.

Doesn’t matter anymore, better grab it first and talk later.

Who knows, maybe the guy who made the Ghost Pill forgot about it.

Stomping his foot, Ye Guichen made a decisive decision, and said to Yan Fang: ”Yan Fang, the legend you mentioned, after all, is just a myth, but there’s definitely something good inside. Regardless of whether someone will come to collect the stuff inside, today that we encountered it, we naturally won’t miss it. If it really is the legendary Ghost Pill, once I get it, you’ll benefit too, so stop overthinking it.”

Finishing his words, Ye Guichen motioned for Yan Fang and Little Black to stay alert outside while he fixated his gaze on the churning magma.

As the black magma swirled more intensely, something enormous, like a giant bird’s egg, slowly emerged.

Upon seeing this thing, Ye Guichen was momentarily stunned.

Why does this look so similar to the Jiao Long Egg I got?

Back then, Ye Guichen obtained four Jiao Long Eggs, which were stored in his storage ring, but those eggs showed no signs of hatching, and when they might hatch was unknown.

So Ye Guichen just kept them stored away.

Who would have thought, that the Ghost Pill also looks like a Jiao Long Egg?

As the egg-shaped object emerged, the magma slowly ceased its turbulent motion.

Then, the egg-shaped object suddenly cracked with a ”crack” sound, forming a seam.

Before Ye Guichen could comprehend what happened, the magma seemed to be attracted by something, rushing madly into the egg-shaped object.

In no time, the magma was completely absorbed, revealing a coffin-shaped stone cavity.

The stone cavity below was also carved with runes, apparently the so-called Nine Revolutions Blood Ghost Talisman.

Moreover, the egg-shaped object hung suspended in mid-air, as if lifted by a mystic force.

”Doesn’t matter anymore.”

Fearing delay could create complications, Ye Guichen reached out, intending to grab the egg-shaped object.

Although it was large, about the size of an ostrich egg, as long as he touched it, it could be easily stored in his storage ring.

Once stored in the storage ring, he could quickly escape from here, and everything would be fine.

Ye Guichen wasn’t convinced that the fellow who crafted the Nine Revolutions Blood Ghost Talisman would be able to find him then.

Or perhaps, they really had forgotten.

But, just as Ye Guichen was about to grab the egg-shaped object, it suddenly dodged to the side, easily evading his grasp.

What the? What’s happening?

Ye Guichen was stunned.

Could this thing actually have its own Spiritual Sense?

”Damn it, I refuse to believe I can’t catch you!”

Outraged, Ye Guichen deployed the Evergreen Technique, sealing the surroundings with countless vines, preventing the egg-shaped object from escaping.

To his surprise, no matter what Ye Guichen did, he couldn’t catch it.

However, the object only fled within the range of the Nine Revolutions Blood Ghost Talisman and couldn’t escape its bounds.

”Could it be that such crafted Ghost Pills have Spiritual Sense?”

Ye Guichen had heard that ginseng could become refined spirits if it grew long enough, able to roam as if with legs.

But never had he heard of pills becoming refined spirits.

If that’s truly the case, it might not differ much from an Immortal Pill.

Immortal Pill... eating one could grant immortality and celestial ascension.

Does such a thing even exist? Nobody knows.

”If I don’t catch you today, I won’t be named Ye!” Ye Guichen, seeing that merely using the Evergreen Technique was ineffective against the egg-shaped object, straightforwardly employed the Swordsmanship taught by the Carefree Sword Immortal.

As a hundred swords emerged, they densely hovered throughout the cave, appearing extremely intimidating.

Upon seeing the swords, the egg-shaped object froze in mid-air, like a mouse seeing a cat.

”Hmm? Could it be that this thing fears the sword?” Ye Guichen reached out, testing by touching the object.

This time, not only did it not flee, it even nudged against Ye Guichen’s hand.

Damn, is this accepting it can’t escape, and giving up willingly?

Ye Guichen was truly astonished.

This thing really seems to have become a spirit!

Without hesitation, regardless of its fear of his hundred swords or not, Ye Guichen mentally activated and directly stored it into the storage ring.

Seeing the egg-shaped object offered no resistance, Ye Guichen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retracting Yan Fang and Little Black into the Jiuyou Tower, not bothering to check the surroundings, he employed his rapid movement technique, transforming into a stream of light, rushing outward.

As long as he ran out of Hefeng Valley in one breath, even if someone came to find the egg-shaped object, they wouldn’t be able to connect it to him.

Encountering Feng Wuxiu, Ye Guichen didn’t hesitate: ”Feng Wuxiu, I need to leave now, you should also leave here as soon as possible. I’ll head to Bei Huang, if you want to find me, go to Bei Huang; if not, just go wherever you like!”

After instructing Feng Wuxiu, Ye Guichen didn’t linger.

Feng Wuxiu was cultivating when he felt that something extraordinary had happened to his body.

This surprise felt like a mutation, seemingly making his body stronger, and even his psyche underwent some changes.

Feng Wuxiu should have felt happy since unknowingly becoming stronger is a good thing.

However, Feng Wuxiu himself felt uncertain.

He didn’t understand medical arts, was obsessed with blade and sword, but now found himself completely uninterested in Sword Dao, instead having an impulse to eat raw meat and kill with bare hands.

He felt as if he had become savage.

Originally, he hoped Ye Guichen would come back and help him solve his doubts.

However, upon seeing Ye Guichen emerge, he appeared flustered and hurried, which puzzled Feng Wuxiu greatly: ”Mr. Ye, are you alright?”

But Ye Guichen had no time to mind him.

He vanished in a blink of an eye.

Since Ye Guichen had already fled, Feng Wuxiu knew he had no reason to stay here any longer.

He quickly got up, followed suit, wanting to catch up with Ye Guichen.

But given Feng Wuxiu’s pace, trying to keep up with Ye Guichen was akin to wishful thinking.

All Ye Guichen needed to do was move quickly.

Meanwhile, outside Hefeng Valley, a hundred people had gathered.

All of these people were dressed in Wan Jian Villa attire.

The one leading them was similar in age to the Second Master Dugu Yue; named Chen Qiao, he was the Third Manor Master of Wan Jian Villa and the next most skilled after Dugu Yue.

Upon receiving the message sent by Dugu Yue, Wan Jian Villa quickly deliberated and immediately dispatched Chen Qiao to lead a hundred disciples to Hefeng Valley.

The appearance of Ye Guichen and the annihilation of Yin Ghost Sect were certainly a big news.

If they could take credit for this, Wan Jian Villa’s status in the martial world would definitely soar dramatically.

Of course, the appearance of Ye Guichen also intrigued them.

However, at the time Dugu Yue sent people back, he didn’t explain why Ye Guichen suddenly appeared.

But these issues weren’t important now.

The important thing was Wan Jian Villa was about to rise.

”Gui Zi, are you sure that Yin Ghost Sect has been annihilated?” Chen Qiao asked a young disciple beside him.

This disciple was the one who initially returned to report for Dugu Yue.

The disciple named Gui Zi nodded promptly: ”That was the situation at the time, but even if Yin Ghost Sect was weak, it’s a sinister sect of demon path, annihilating it easily is simply impossible; thus, I feel there must be remnants, however, it seems they didn’t have time to take away treasures of Yin Ghost Sect, so no matter what, this time we can raid the Yin Ghost Sect for sure.”

”Good, you have done a great deed; if we succeed this time, I will request a reward for you when we return!” Chen Qiao patted Gui Zi’s shoulder, turned around, and instructed: ”Everyone, put in more effort and quickly enter Yin Ghost Sect. If you find Ye Guichen’s traces, we will immediately besiege him. Since the manor lord sent so many of us, it is just in case, even if Yin Ghost Sect has remnants, they definitely won’t be a match, and even if Ye Guichen has treasures, we have so many people, we don’t need to fear at all!”

”Understood!”

All the disciples were full of high spirits.

With so many of them on their side, attacking a small sect is no problem, dealing with a sect having been annihilated like Yin Ghost Sect is surely a piece of cake.

A group moved swiftly, taking little time to arrive at the location of Yin Ghost Sect.

However, before they could enter Yin Ghost Sect, they saw a figure rapidly rushing out, appearing to be about to flee.

”Who are you?”

Upon seeing Ye Guichen, Chen Qiao intercepted him: ”Are you one of the Yin Ghost Sect?”

Chen Qiao didn’t know Ye Guichen, seeing Ye Guichen’s unfamiliar face and his sneaky demeanor, he assumed he was a remnant of Yin Ghost Sect.

After so long, this remnant was likely hiding in the dark, determined there was no one before attempting to escape.

Yet he didn’t expect to encounter them.

Ye Guichen didn’t expect there would be so many people outside of Yin Ghost Sect either; he glanced up, soon recognizing their attire as that of Wan Jian Villa.

”Why have so many of you from Wan Jian Villa come?” Ye Guichen thought suspiciously, instinctively asked.

”Now that you know we are from Wan Jian Villa, surrender quietly and tell us where your accomplices have fled to, or else, we will show no mercy!”

”Accomplices?” Ye Guichen didn’t quite understand.

If he had to say, he still had an army of a hundred thousand.

But you few hundred people, no matter how high your cultivation, can be drowned with a single spit from a hundred thousand army.

However, right now, Ye Guichen had no interest in wasting breath with them.

”Do whatever you want, I have something to do, I’m leaving!” Ye Guichen said, turning to escape.

Seeing Ye Guichen attempting to flee, how could the Wan Jian Villa disciples permit it?

They immediately surrounded him.

Ye Guichen was displeased: ”I have no grievance with your Wan Jian Villa, in fact, there’s some connection, I have no interest in killing you now!”

”Such an arrogant lad, merely a stray dog yet you dare speak such egotistical words?” Chen Qiao scoffed: ”Since you refuse to surrender quietly, then we shall not be polite.”

With a wave of his hand: ”Capture him first, leave him breathing!”
