Chapter 422 The Underworld Messengers Addicted to the Internet
The mere mention of an internet cafe immediately drew the attention of the underworld officials in front of the Mirage Pavilion.

Song Bin's body stiffened under the gaze of so many underworld officials.

"Haha, an internet cafe? I'd like to experience what an internet cafe in the underworld is like."

Xu Yifeng smiled and was about to walk inside when Zhai Liangcai's words silenced him.

"Are you hiding something? Come in!"

"Uh, it's one thing to ask for good karma, but why does it also require ghosts?"

Xu Yifeng was helpless.

At this moment, Song Feng seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Song Bin.

With a knowing look, Song Bin immediately understood.

"Oh right, the ghost I caught for my assessment task is still here, I'll go get it."

As he spoke, Song Bin ran to the house where Song Feng had put his things and took out the Soul Sealing Altar stored inside.

By the time they arrived at their destination, most of the assembled underworld officials had already left.

"Old Xu, here you go."

Xu Yifeng was taken aback when he saw the jar that Song Bin handed him.

"Give it to me? Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?"

Song Bin laughed and said, "Elder Xu, what good deeds have I done? Besides, if Song Feng hadn't learned something from you, I don't even know if I could have completed the assessment."

Xu Yifeng smiled, took the jar, and looked at Shen Zhihong and Zhai Liangcai.

"I can't refuse a child's kind offer, can I? So I'll go and see?"

Shen Zhihong waved his hand, while Zhai Liangcai said irritably, "You're not ashamed enough, hurry up and leave!"

Xu Yifeng laughed and led the way inside.

Although the others couldn't enter the Mirage Realm, they all wanted to know what the Mirage Realm Pavilion was like, so they naturally followed them inside.

Then they saw the twenty jars displayed in the hallway of the room!
Xu Yifeng compared the jar in his hand with the twenty jars. Apart from slight differences in appearance, weren't they the same thing?

Xu Yifeng turned his head and looked around, but found nothing other than the jar.

"What's happening here?"

At this moment, not only Xu Yifeng was stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.

Just then, a cloth dog jumped out and landed next to a jar.

"The key to the Mirage Realm is in the Soul Sealing Altar. You can use the Soul Sealing Altar to capture the ghosts and spirits within it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yifeng said directly, "Then can't I just use this? It would save me a hundred merits."

The little cloth dog looked at Xu Yifeng and said, "The Soul Sealing Altars here are all at the Yin Si level. If yours is also at the Yin Si level, then you can use your own."

Everyone gasped.

Having served as underworld officials for so long, they have seen quite a few underworld general-level talismans, but underworld-level talismans seem to be something only a few large teams have managed to acquire by pooling the resources of their entire teams. Others have rarely seen underworld-level talismans.

But at this moment, there were twenty Yin-level warding objects in front of them!
How could this not shock them?

After staring intently for a while, Xu Yifeng took out a small knife from his pocket and made a cut on his finger.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't even flinch.

This scene left Song Bin speechless.

Judging from this, it seems that this old man Xu Yifeng is probably not a simple person!

After slicing his finger open, Xu Yifeng walked to one of the twenty Yin Si-level Soul Sealing Altars, opened the lid, and smeared blood on the mouth of the altar.

"Bin, open your jar."

Upon hearing this, Song Bin walked over and opened the Soul Sealing Altar.

click!
Song Bin opened the jar lid, and a gust of cold wind suddenly gathered towards the jar.

Song Bin remembered the taboo of the Soul Sealing Altar: once a ghost is sealed inside, the altar cannot be opened again!

It seems he has broken a taboo!
Pale-faced Song Bin looked at the gathering eerie wind around him and involuntarily took two steps back.

Just then, the ghost in the jar rushed out.

It was just a wandering spirit when it went in, but this time when it came out, its power was even more ferocious than that of an ordinary vengeful ghost!
Just as Song Bin was about to ask Song Feng for help, Xu Yifeng had already turned the jar around.

Whoosh!
In an instant, the eerie wind subsided, and the ghosts were sucked back into the Soul-Sealing Altar.

As soon as Xu Yifeng closed the lid, he heard the cloth dog say, "Communicate with the jar and trigger the mirage soul."

communicate?
How to communicate?
Just as Xu Yifeng had this thought in his mind, he sensed the jar appearing in his consciousness.

In a moment of clarity, he understood how to trigger the Mirage Soul—to trigger it directly!

"After you're done, open the jar and take the contents out."

"Ok?"

Xu Yifeng thought to himself, "If I open it, won't it just run away again?"

But since the other party is the 'network administrator,' listening to him is definitely the right thing to do.

I twisted the lid open, but nothing happened.

Xu Yifeng looked into the jar, then reached in and took the contents out.

"This is... mud?"

When everyone looked over, all they saw was a lump of black mud in Xu Yifeng's hand.
"Put the lid on, place the soul mud on the lid, continue communicating, and shape it."

Xu Yifeng didn't ask any further questions and did as instructed.

Soon, Shen Zhihong and the others witnessed a miraculous scene.

The black mud placed on the jar lid began to wriggle, and soon, a young and imposing miniature version of Xu Yifeng appeared.

When Xu Yifeng opened his eyes, he was also taken aback.

After communicating with the altar, he felt as if he could control that lump of mud.

Guided by some unseen force, he sculpted it to resemble his younger self.

I didn’t expect it to work.

He liked the clay sculpture very much and had the urge to take it and leave.

"Communicate with clay sculptures and enter the mirage."

The voice of the "network administrator" interrupted him. After glancing at Shen Zhihong and the others, Xu Yifeng resisted the urge to take the clay sculpture away and continued to do as instructed.

The clay sculpture he loved had turned back into a puddle of black mud, seeping into the jar lid.

Before Xu Yifeng could even feel regret, he realized that he seemed to have gained another perspective.

To confirm, he simply closed his eyes.

Immediately, another, clearer and more undisturbed perspective appeared in his consciousness, or rather, his consciousness appeared in another body!
Looking at the fairy island in front of me, and at the birds, insects and fish.

Xu Yifeng reached out and slapped himself!

It doesn't hurt!

But this is not a dream!
He bent down and plucked a handful of green grass from the ground. Inhaling the fragrance of the grass, he was intoxicated.

Taking a step forward, Xu Yifeng rushed towards the river flowing down from the mountain.

He dipped his head into the river, opened his mouth, and felt a refreshing sensation, no less than that of Tusu wine, flow down his throat and into his stomach.

Wow!

Xu Yifeng looked up, his face filled with shock.

"Is this...is this a mirage? Is this an internet cafe?"

Just as Xu Yifeng was finding this unbelievable, a noise suddenly came from behind him.

Having experienced a paranormal event, Xu Yifeng immediately jumped up and looked behind him.

But there were no ghosts there at all, only a person staring at the sacred mountain with a look of utter astonishment!
Looking at the man's appearance, Xu Yifeng suddenly spoke up: "Bai Yongnian?"

Bai Yongnian, who was being amazed by the wonder of the mirage, suddenly heard this voice and turned his head to look.

"You... Elder Xu?" Bai Yongnian looked at the familiar face and asked uncertainly.

"It's me. How did you... did you come in from another base?"

Xu Yifeng suddenly said.

"Yes, so Elder Xu, you also came from the Three Mountains Garrison. Is this place... real?"

Bai Yongnian looked at the fairy mountain pavilion again.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but that doesn't stop us from going to see! Let's go, together!"

"it is good!"

Driven by a desire to explore, the two journeyed together through the mirage.

A full hour passed before the two of them had walked half a circle around the foot of the mirage's sacred mountain.

Just this half-circle was enough to make the two of them no longer doubt anything about this place.

Maybe this place is fake, but it's so fake it's almost too real!

Everything here is interactive for them, and the two even saw a herd of white horses galloping through the valley.

As they walked over, the herd of white horses all stopped.

If the white horse hadn't been without a saddle, making it a bit uncomfortable for the two of them to ride, they probably would have already been sightseeing on it.

Nevertheless, it was enough to surprise them greatly.

What does it matter if this sensory experience, which is indistinguishable from reality, is fake?
If the underworld is a refuge, then this place is a paradise!

Just as the two were preparing to continue their exploration, Shen Zhihong had already walked up to Xu Yifeng at the Sanshan camp.

"Xu Yifeng, are you asleep?"

Xu Yifeng opened his eyes, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Old Shen, Old Zhai, hurry up and catch the ghost! This mirage, this mirage, it's amazing!"

"Oh, right, I saw Bai Yongnian inside. That kid also entered the Mirage Realm from another base. The two of us are exploring the Mirage Realm together now. You guys come quickly!"

As he spoke, Xu Yifeng closed his eyes again.

Shen Zhihong and Zhai Liangcai exchanged a glance, then looked at Song Bin and Song Feng.

"How about we give it a try?"

"Give it a try. This old guy has never been this excited before. I'm really curious."

Zhai Liangcai continued.

Then, Shen Zhihong looked at Song Feng.

"Xiaofeng, give me the raven feather raincoat, I'm going to catch a few ghosts."

Upon hearing this, Song Feng immediately said, "Elder Shen, Song Bin and I will go."

Shen Zhihong thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Alright, take these four Yin-Shuai level suppression coins. They can handle anything below the level of fierce evil. Just catch them and come back."

Seeing the four talismans that Shen Zhihong handed over, Song Feng and Song Bin swallowed hard at the same time.

Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

He casually took out a powerful artifact, a talisman of the Yin Commander level.

Song Feng even felt that if Shen Zhihong were willing to compete for the previous spot for relocating the base, Bai Yongnian and the others might not be able to get it!

"I'll go right now. Binzi, you don't have a raincoat, so just wait here."

After saying that, Song Feng was about to leave when Zhai Liangcai called him back.

"Wait, Song Bin, take my raven feather raincoat. It'll help you get used to the environment around the camp."

Zhai Liangcai took out the raven feather from his person and handed it over.

Shen Zhihong was very fast at the time, and when he brought the two people to the underworld, they were exactly among the thirty-six people.

Therefore, both of them had raven feather raincoats.

Just as Song Feng thought, if Shen Zhihong was willing to compete for that spot, no team in the Sanshan base could beat their small team.

Song Bin took the raven feather, feeling a little numb.

Is this the big shot from the underworld?
That's incredibly extravagant!
"Thank you, Mr. Zhai!"

As he spoke, Song Bin used the raven feather raincoat for the first time.

After getting used to it a little, he excitedly flew out of the Sanshan base with Song Feng!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two flew back, each carrying two talismans to ward off evil spirits.

Shen Zhihong and Zhai Liangcai each took one, leaving the other two in their hands.

Soon, the four of them each grabbed a Soul-Sealing Altar and started 'going online'.

Shen Zhihong paid for Song Feng and Song Bin's "internet fees". After the blood was smeared, the four of them threw out the ghosts from the money they had used to suppress the evil spirits.

After that, we proceeded according to procedure.

Once the clay figures created by the four people disappeared into the jar lid, they would simultaneously gain another perspective and a body that they could control.

Then, the four of them, like Xu Yifeng, were shocked.

And so, Song Bin spent his entire day in an internet cafe on his first visit to the Sanshan base!

Since they could still control their physical bodies while in the mirage, the four of them went home together for dinner after lunchtime, and then continued surfing the internet.

The four of them spent a whole day exploring most of the entire Immortal Mountain Island.

During this period, spirit messengers entered the mirage realm successively from the Sanshan and Zhouzhuang ancient town sites.

After the initial excitement, the people from the two bases also began exchanging information in the mirage.

All of this was within Chen Xin's plan.

The existence of the Mirage Pavilion can both reclaim karmic merit and prevent the underworld officials from wasting their existing karmic merit on the Soul Sealing Altar, a talisman that is not very effective in dealing with ghosts.

Of course, there are always some wealthy people who think that having their own 'computer' means they can spend all their time in a mirage.

As for who this tycoon is?
Shen Zhihong was the obvious choice. Xu Yifeng and Zhai Liangcai also wanted to set up a Soul Sealing Altar and use their accumulated merit to improve their abilities, but unfortunately, neither of them had enough merit.

This led to the two old men teaming up to farm the Netherworld area just to have their own 'computer'!

Song Bin and Song Feng, two rookies who didn't even have a Yin-Yang Master-level talisman, could only return to the mortal world and search for solutions to the supernatural events there.

Among these, the provenance of the antique that Old Man Wen purchased was naturally their first consideration.

A place where ghosts can appear is definitely not a good place.

Perhaps there are other sinister forces at play.

So, Song Feng and Song Bin were led by Tang Cai to find those tomb raiders.

To their surprise, several of the seven or eight tomb raiders who went down into the tomb had already died.

The situation was the same as what Wen Siyuan had encountered.

However, Wen Siyuan managed to prevent it, but these tomb raiders did not.

So when the tomb raiders heard that Song Feng and his group had come for that tomb, they refused to go even if it meant death.

It wasn't until Song Feng intervened and resolved the wandering spirits that were haunting them.

Only then did they understand Song Feng and the others' situation. After that, they refused the money and took Song Feng and the others to the tomb.

During the process, they also told Song Feng and the others a secret.

It turns out that what those tomb raiders took away was just something from a fake tomb, and the real tomb was beneath the burial chamber!

These tomb raiders originally planned to sell their wares before heading to the great tomb, but then something went wrong.

The tomb raider's thinking was simple: if they had indeed disturbed the tomb owner and attracted evil spirits, who knew what else might happen!

It would be best to have Song Feng remove all the evil spirits from the tomb!
Song Feng was very satisfied with this!
What Song Feng didn't know was that a river that shouldn't exist had already appeared in the large tomb he coveted.
