Ghost Catching System

Looking at the toad, Chu Hao really felt embarrassed for him. This guy ran away when the situation looked bad, and now shamelessly returned wanting the Curse Mark.

Chu Hao scornfully said, ”I asked you to cooperate before, and you ran faster than a rabbit, and now you want the Curse Mark? Dream on.”

The toad justified confidently, ”And what about the thing where you conned this emperor? How do we account for that?”

Chu Hao thought for a moment and still handed him a Fourth Stage Curse Mark.

”Three pieces, what is this, charity for beggars?” The toad complained.

Chu Hao put away the Curse Mark and walked away, saying, ”Take it or leave it; all these were obtained at the risk of my life.”

The toad couldn’t argue, the fact was indeed that if the Netherworld People took out Chu Hao, they might come after him too.

Regarding the strength of the Netherworld People, the toad was still very apprehensive.

”One piece, just one then.” The toad said.

Chu Hao, feeling the pain, gave the toad a Fourth Stage Cursed Instrument, while keeping the other Curse Marks, especially that Fifth Order Curse Mark, which was a worn-out Ancient Gold Knife.

This Fifth Order Curse Mark was flawed, with many gaps on the knife, already incomplete and difficult to repair.

Chu Hao hesitated, whether to have a go at the lottery or to upgrade the Iron Bone Curse Seal.

The Iron Bone Curse Seal, undoubtedly a top-notch Curse Mark, upgrading to Silver Bone Curse Seal would absolutely guarantee survival.

After thinking it over, Chu Hao decided to upgrade the Iron Bone Curse Seal. There’s nothing more important than staying alive. You need life to be pretentious, don’t you? Everyone understands this.

Chu Hao asked, ”System, to upgrade the Fifth Level Iron Bone Curse Seal, do I have enough Curse Marks now?”

System: ”Enough, you’ll also need to pay 30,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao said speechlessly, ”Why do you seem like a vampire now, always demanding Pretentiousness Points?”

System: ”In games, if you want to be strong, you need to reload with RMB; if not, what are you playing for?”

Brother Hao had no words to reply.

Chu Hao reluctantly said, ”Purchase.”

System prompt: ”Host’s Pretentiousness Points are insufficient, please recharge Pretentiousness.”

Chu Hao covered his forehead, almost forgetting that he only had 200,000 Merit Points left, which upon conversion wasn’t enough.

However, there were still two Green Diamond Treasure Chests.

Chu Hao: ”Open the Green Diamond Treasure Chest.”

”Ding... Host acquired 20,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Perfect luck.

Chu Hao continued, ”Open another one.”

”Ding... Host acquired the Advanced Foundation Building Scripture.”

Chu Hao was delighted, the luck with these two chest openings was quite good.

Chu Hao said, ”Upgrade Iron Bone Curse Seal.”

”Ding... Host consumed all Curse Marks, paid 30,000 Pretentiousness Points, upgraded Iron Bone Curse Seal.”

”Ding... Iron Bone Curse Seal has been reforged.”

”Ding... Host acquired Fifth Level Silver Bone Curse Seal.”

Item: Silver Bone Curse Seal

Capability: Upon casting, skin, flesh, and bone alter, Silver Bone Curse Seal appears on the body, enhancing defense five times, strength five times.

Chu Hao was overjoyed, not just exceeding defense by five times compared to the previous Iron Bone Curse Seal, but also adding strength five times, an explosive upgrade.

This session wasn’t a loss.

Chu Hao also wanted to learn the Advanced Foundation Building Scripture, which is the last copy left. Once learned, he would reach the pinnacle of advanced Foundation Building, unlike his previous strength. The only issue was lacking Pretentiousness Points for buying medicinal materials and for alchemy.

In total, about thirty thousand are needed.

”Ah, ah, ah!!! This King of Show-offs is so poor!”

Chu Hao lamented, feeling too broke to even put up a front to enhance strength; pretentiousness required further pretentiousness.

Chu Hao’s eyes reddened; he said, ”The opportunity in this Holy City must be seized; otherwise, I can’t even uphold the title of Brother Hao, King of Show-offs.”

Chu Hao directly found the toad and asked him if he knew the bases of other factions in the Holy City, to take advantage of those ghosts, corpses, and Ghost Demons before they wake up and make a good haul.

The toad was taken aback and said, ”You really want to go? Those places are far more dangerous than the Undying Sect.”

Chu Hao waved his hand, ”Isn’t it just beings similar to the Netherworld People? As a Taoist Master, I’ll handle them in minutes.”

The toad said speechlessly, ”You’re too naive to think it’s easy to breach those factions. Even in ancient times, people were already prepared, waiting for awakening, maybe even some ancestral beings. Even if they haven’t survived, they’re terrifying Fierce Ghosts.”

When Chu Hao heard, he felt a bit apprehensive.

Chu Hao said, ”These old ghosts don’t report to the Underworld after dying, staying in the Human World; truly lingering Yin Souls.”

The toad said, ”Not everyone stays behind; only those who prepared properly can. In the former Holy City, there were many Soul Crystals, which ghosts absorbed to repel the call of Ghost Gate Pass. But this emperor estimates those Soul Crystals are nearly exhausted; if they don’t emerge soon, they may vanish, with no chance to reincarnate.”

Indeed, ghosts can’t stay in the Human World for long.

Normally, after death, one immediately goes to register at the Underworld, and can revisit seven days later.

Some special ghosts can stay in the Human World for a year, and that’s already good.

Spiteful ghosts can stay about ten years. If it kills, with heavy grudge, can last longer.

However, even spiteful ghosts existing longer in the Human World will gradually forget themselves, dispersing bit by bit, unable to descend to the Underworld, directly vanishing into ashes.

The ghosts and Ghost Demons in the Holy City prepared, using things like Soul Crystals, have existed in the Human World for over three thousand years, very frightening.

At this time, Chu Hao’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Second Uncle Chu Xionghuan calling, pressed to answer.

Chu Xionghuan on the phone said, ”Bo Long is here, the second son of the Three Truths Sect, claiming he wants you to meet him. Do you have a grudge?”

Chu Hao was stunned, the people behind the Long Chen Financial Group, Bo Long of the Three Truths Sect, this guy actually wanted to meet him.

Chu Hao said, ”Long Chen Financial Group is Bo Long’s.”

Chu Xionghuan understood suddenly, ”No wonder, this guy is dangerous, a 15-Star Yin-Yang Master’s strength, you already know, no need for me to say. He also has the Soul Beating Whip, one of the seven rare treasures.”

Chu Hao said, ”I was about to look for him.”

Chu Xionghuan inwardly sighed, amazed at Chu Hao’s rapid rise, power incredibly supernatural, even not fearing the second son Bo Long.

Chu Xionghuan said, ”Bo Long’s visit this time is to take the Shangu Imperial City. He is the vice-chairman of the Wo Country Yin Yang Association.”

There’s actually the identity of Wo Country.

Chu Xionghuan continued, ”Besides, many people from the Wo Country Yin Yang Association have arrived, saying they want to take the Shangu Imperial City back, which is actually an excuse; their goal is also the Divine Palace.”

A bunch of people from Wo Country even want to come to Huaxia to seize opportunities; truly ignorant of life and death.

”Where is he?” Chu Hao sneered.

Chu Xionghuan warned, ”I suggest you don’t go. The Wo Country Yin Yang Association is quite strong, lacking no shortage of 15-Star Yin-Yang Masters, each possessing methods. I heard you took the Eight-foot Magatama, now they’re all eyeing you.”

Finally, Chu Xionghuan told Chu Hao, this group is in the northeast direction of the Holy City, where the Valley Financial Group is building a palace, seemingly to spread the faith of Yin Yang Studies.

Chu Hao was shocked, ”Building a palace, what are they trying to do?”

Chu Xionghuan said, ”They want to camp in this Holy City and spread Wo Country’s Yin Yang cultural teachings.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao was furious, darn it, this group of little ghosts coming to Huaxia to snatch things is one thing, but actually wanting to spread Yin Yang Studies culture here? If they succeed, it would be unacceptable!
