Xu Yang and the Lady Ghost looked at each other, both at a loss for words.
Of course.
This “at a loss for words” is just a figure of speech.
After all, the Lady Ghost’s face is covered by her black hair, so Xu Yang couldn’t actually see her face.
She floated down from the stairs and came to Xu Yang’s side, extending a fair, bare foot from under her red skirt, and gently kicked Ma Long twice. Seeing no response from Ma Long, she wrote, “Is he dead?”
“Not exactly.”
Xu Yang said: “He’s just frightened and passed out…strange, did you just reveal yourself? How could he see you?”
“I did not reveal myself.”
The Lady Ghost shook her head and wrote: “I find it strange too. This little chubby guy has been to my place before, but he couldn’t see me. With my strength, unless I reveal myself, only a Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm warrior or a Divine Realm Daoist could sense me. How can he, a mere mortal, see me?”
Having cultivated the Divine Ascension Scripture, Xu Yang had a clear understanding of the realms of cultivation in the Daoist and martial arts worlds.
In Daoist cultivation, stages are Qi Refining, Dao Entry, and Divine Realm.
As for martial arts cultivation, stages are divided into Acquired, Innate, and Heavenly Being Realm.
The “Acquired” realm is divided into four levels, corresponding to Flesh Refining, Tendon Training, Skin Training, and Bone Training.
Whether it’s the Divine Realm or the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, both are considered “transcendent” existences and are on the same level as the current Ghost King, making them part of the Daoist Divine Realm and Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm.
“That’s right!”
Xu Yang suddenly remembered the scene of Ma Long pulling the Water Ghost out of the river today and told Lady Ghost about it.
“Oh?”
The Lady Ghost was surprised.
She stretched out her finger, and a wisp of Yin energy flew out from her fingertip. After circling Ma Long’s body and retrieving the Yin energy, she suddenly wrote: “I see, he actually has an Extremely Yin Body, no wonder the Water Ghost’s Yin energy didn’t affect him.”
“What is an Extremely Yin Body?”
“It’s a rare and special constitution in the living world, mostly found in the Underworld Palace.”
The Lady Ghost wrote to clarify: “Since he already has an Extremely Yin Body, the Water Ghost’s Yin energy entering his body naturally cannot harm him. This constitution has one particular characteristic, it tends to attract evil.” Xu Yang blinked: “Attract evil?”
“Put it simply, it means he’s prone to encountering ghosts. His constitution can suppress Yin spirits but is also a great supplement to them. He may have been frequently exposed to Yin energy recently, which has activated his Extremely Yin Body.”
H H
Frequently exposed to Yin energy?
Ma Long had been digging for treasure in the mountains for two years, running around the mountains every night. After returning, he had encountered Lady Ghost several times, and today he also had “intimate” contact with the Water Ghost. Considering all this, it seemed quite reasonable. Encountering ghosts…
Encountering ghosts!
Xu Yang suddenly had a bright idea, carried Ma Long from the ground, and said: “My good brother, the ground is cold… I’ll take you to my bedroom to rest!
“I never expected that you would be prone to encountering ghosts and attracting evil… This is great!”
“Huh?”
The Lady Ghost floated behind and wrote with confusion: “You think your friend being prone to encountering ghosts and attracting evil is a good thing?” “Of course!”
Xu Yang’s mouth curled up: “Catching ghosts and warding off evil, vanquishing demons and subduing monsters are our duty as cultivators. In the future, he’ll be in charge of encountering ghosts, and I’ll be responsible for scaring… catching ghosts. With our combined efforts, won’t it be great?”
“Extremely Yin Body is rare among humans. If he were born in the Underworld Palace, he would be considered a cultivation genius, the kind that even the Ten Halls Yama Kings would accept as disciples. But he was born in the living world, which, for him, is no doubt a terminal illness!”
“What?”
Xu Yang was taken aback. He placed Ma Long on the bed in his bedroom and hurriedly asked, “A terminal illness?”
Lady Ghost nodded and wrote, “You humans place importance on essence, energy, and spirit. The so-called essence is the source of a person’s vitality, the innate foundation, and the origin of life. And energy refers to one’s lifeblood.” “If a person has vigorous lifeblood, ghosts would find it difficult to approach, and he would enjoy a healthy body free from illness.”
“Weak lifeblood leads to sickness.”
“His Extremely Yin Body has been activated, which breeds Yin energy inside him. This would continuously erode his essence and energy. Once they are exhausted, he will die.”
Xu Yang asked in surprise, “Isn’t there also the spirit?”
“That’s why he will turn into a fierce ghost after death.”
Lady Ghost wrote, “A fierce ghost formed from a person with an Extremely Yin Body would probably be even more powerful than me and could easily turn a city into a Ghost Realm.”
“All, this…”
Xu Yang panicked.
How could he just watch his only brother die and turn into a fierce ghost?
He asked for a solution.
Lady Ghost pondered for a while and wrote, “The solution is actually simple. You just need to practice the cultivation techniques of the Underworld Palace to control the Yin energy in his body. Not only will he not die, but he could also have the potential to become a master.”
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up, “Since Lady Ghost is a Ghost King, you must have a cultivation technique!”
Lady Ghost shook her head.
“I am a ghost and can naturally absorb the grievances of heaven and earth to live. 1 happened to encounter a war in the past, and 1 absorbed the grievances of the dead souls on the battlefield to achieve my current state. I don’t know the cultivation methods of the Underworld Palace. However, I do know an existence that certainly possesses the methods of the Underworld Palace!” “What existence?”
“Ghost officials!”
Xu Yang asked, “Where can we find a ghost official?”
“Ghost officials are sent by the Underworld Palace to maintain order in the mortal world. They were scattered all over the world, but since the Heaven-human Barrier severed 600 years ago, the mortal world and the underworld have been disconnected. I don’t know if there are any ghost officials who survived from 600 years ago.”

Xu Yang couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
What a bunch of useless information!
My poor brother, young and wealthy but not yet inheriting his fortune, is going to die just like that?
Seeing his reaction, Lady Ghost comforted him in writing, “You don’t have to worry, he still has at least two or three years to live. Nowadays, with the spiritual aura’s resurgence, ghouls are awakening all over the world. Maybe, in the near future, the Ghost Gate will open wide!”
Ghost Gate?
Xu Yang remembered the gate he saw when the obsessions of the children in Dawa Elementary School were dispelled, and his hope was rekindled.
Lady Ghost continued, “There are many capable people and strange beings in the mortal world. Maybe someone has a way to enter the Underworld Palace. For example, underworld walkers or Yin-Yang Watchmen. If you can meet them, you might be able to enter the Underworld Palace and help your friend seek a cultivation technique.”
Underworld walkers?
Yin-Yang Watchmen?
Entering the Underworld Palace?
Xu Yang’s eyes sparkled, and an idea suddenly sprang up in his heart.
If he could enter the Underworld Palace, would he be able to find his grandpa’s soul?
When Grandpa was mentioned, Xu Yang remembered his corpse and asked immediately, “Let’s put this matter aside for now. Ma Long is not going to die in a short while anyway. Lady Ghost, can you locate Wang Wei with the mark you left on him?”
“This damn guy dared to steal my grandpa’s body… If he doesn’t return it today, I’ll crush his master’s bones and scatter his ashes!”
Lady Ghost floated outside.
Xu Yang asked puzzledly, “Lady Ghost, where are you going?”
In the meantime, Lady Ghost had already slipped into the driver’s seat of Ma Long’s BMW. Excited, she wrote, “A BMW… I heard it’s an expensive car on the TV. Xu Yang, get in quickly, I’ll take you to find your grandpa!”
PS: Thank you, evil eee, for the 2000 points reward!
