Ghost Catching System

Imperial Capital, Yan Family.

The Yan Family, head of the Nine Gates of Huaxia, with industries spread across all regions, was a very large family.

Upon learning that his son had been murdered, Yan Chen’s father was overcome with grief and let out a mournful howl to the sky. That was his own flesh and blood, now dead, and he was understandably filled with rage. After an investigation, it was discovered that his son’s killer was Chu Hao, a finding that filled him with both wariness and hatred. The Yan Family was not ignorant of Chu Hao’s strength. That young man was a miraculous existence; consequently, many families among the Nine Gates of Huaxia had already instructed their members not to approach Anli City or provoke him. Yet, his own son was still dead. Yan Chen’s father’s eyes were bloodshot. Though he knew of his son’s entanglements with Chu Hao, with his son now dead, he was driven solely by a desire for revenge.

Yan Chen pulled out his phone and made a call, weeping as he said, ”Third Brother, your nephew has been killed.”

On the other end of the line, a cold voice filled with killing intent answered, ”Who did it?”

”It was Chu Hao. Third Brother, you must avenge Chen’er.”

Third Brother replied, ”Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ll come down from the mountain immediately and bring back Chu Hao’s head.”

After the call, Yan Chen’s father’s face twisted grotesquely. ”Chu Hao, you Chu Family’s bastard,” he snarled, ”although I can’t deal with you myself, I will make you suffer the pain of losing those close to you.”

Yan Chen’s father spoke darkly, ”And the other Eight Gates of Huaxia, do you think you can just stand back and watch the show and stay safe? My son’s death has something to do with you, too.”

Yan Chen’s father had completely lost his mind; he wanted revenge.

Chu Hao returned to the Sanqing Pavilion and, after a bath, fell into a deep sleep.

He was finally awakened by someone entering his room. Opening his eyes, he saw a pair of gentle eyes looking at him.

Diao Chan.

Chu Hao wrapped his arms around Diao Chan and said with a grin, ”Baby Chan, what brings you here?”

As she was held, Diao Chan’s cheeks flushed red, making her as beautiful as a painting. She said, ”It’s already noon. I heard from Qin Jie that you had returned, so Chan’er came to check on you.”

Chu Hao was surprised. Is it already noon?

After getting up and freshening himself, he said, ”Chan’er, I need a favor from you.”

Delighted to help Chu Hao, Diao Chan nodded and replied, ”Brother Chu, just tell me.”

Chu Hao performed a quick divination and roughly estimated that there would be a lot of trouble in the coming period. Moreover, those close to him would encounter misfortune, even a risk of violent death. Frowning, he said, ”Trouble is brewing, and my enemies are growing in number. Take Dong Qi and Liang Qian to my hometown and bring the people from the orphanage back to Anli City.”

Diao Chan nodded. Since no one else was around, she wrapped an arm around Chu Hao’s and said, ”Brother Chu, be careful when you’re away.”

Chu Hao kissed Diao Chan’s forehead. Her cheeks burned red as he said, ”Don’t worry, I’m working really hard now to revive Baby Chan.”

Diao Chan gently leaned into Chu Hao’s embrace.

Without delay, Diao Chan set off with Dong Qi and Liang Qian.

Chu Hao checked his attribute interface.

With 23,000 Pretentiousness Points, Chu Hao planned to purchase the Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture. An Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture would cost 20,000 Pretentiousness Points. To break through to the Advanced Foundation Building Scripture, he would need three of them; it was a long road ahead.

Chu Hao said, ”System, purchase the Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture.”

”DING... Host has purchased the Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture, consuming 20,000 Pretentiousness Points. Remaining Pretentiousness Points: 3,000.”

Item: Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture

Rarity: ★★★★

Ability: After preparing the medicines and studying the Foundation Building Scripture, one can enter the intermediate stage of Foundation Building.

Upon inspection, Chu Hao found that the Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture also required medicinal ingredients. The quantities needed were even greater than those for the primary marrow-cleansing, and many new herbs had been added to the list.

However, Chu Hao was wealthy now. He had made a fortune from gemstone gambling. Not to mention the five billion worth of assets from Chen Lan, there was also other cash. Besides, the jade-in-jade purchased by Boss Nie and the Imperial Green Jade procured by Boss Jiang totaled a sky-high price of 2.4 billion.

Just then, an unfamiliar call came through. It was Boss Jiang. ”Master Chu,” he said, ”the 1.4 billion has been transferred to your account.”

Upon checking his phone, Chu Hao indeed saw a message alerting him to an additional 1.4 billion RMB in his account.

Chu Hao said, ”Boss Jiang is a straightforward man.”

With a sigh, Boss Jiang said, ”Master Chu, if it weren’t for you last time, I reckon I’d be lying in the hospital just like the others.” At that time, many people were stunned by the Fierce Ghost’s scream. It was Chu Hao who used True Qi to dispel the Ghost Qi, allowing them to witness that miraculous scene. In Boss Jiang’s eyes, Chu Hao was now like an immortal being.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Boss Jiang hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Chu Hao murmured, ”To deal with the Southern Ghost King, I must learn the Intermediate Foundation Building Scripture.”

Chu Hao called Ma Bozhen. As the chairman of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, he was more familiar with medicinal ingredients than anyone else.

Ma Bozhen answered the phone cheerfully, ”Is that Little Chu? You still remember to call this old man.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chu Hao said, ”Grandpa Ma, I have a list of medicinal ingredients. I’d like you to take a look for me. If possible, I would like to buy three sets; money is no issue.”

Ma Bozhen replied, ”Sure, come find me at the medicinal ingredients market.”

Chu Hao drove to the medicinal ingredients market. It was still bustling with people, all busy trying to make money. He found Ma Bozhen.

Wearing glasses, Ma Bozhen examined the list Chu Hao had written. After a while, he looked up, a corner of his mouth twitching. ”Little Chu,” he said, ”these ingredients you’re looking for are quite difficult to find.”

Chu Hao felt a headache coming on. ”Can you find them all?” he asked.

Ma Bozhen thought for a moment before replying, ”Yes, but two items are particularly hard to find. There aren’t many available in all of Huaxia, and they will cost a significant sum.”

Chu Hao stated, ”Money is not an issue.”

Ma Bozhen nodded. ”Okay, I’ll help you look for them.”

Chu Hao took out some money to give to Ma Bozhen, but the old man frowned. ”Little Chu, put your money away.”

Seeing Ma Bozhen was displeased, Chu Hao chuckled and took the money back. ”Then I’ll have to trouble you, Grandpa Ma.”

Ma Bozhen replied, ”What trouble? If it weren’t for you saving my granddaughter, I would probably be...”

Just then, someone entered with hurried footsteps. Wasn’t it the stunningly beautiful Ma Qingyu? She still looked the same, dressed in black professional attire, her charming long legs sheathed in black silk stockings.

When Ma Qingyu saw Chu Hao, she was visibly startled, then said joyfully, ”Chu Hao, you’re here too.”

Chu Hao replied, ”I’m here to ask Grandpa Ma for some help with something.”
