The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 430 The Goal! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Driven by a strong desire to explore, Wang Xiaoming inquired in detail about the ghost knocking on the door incident.

He soon made another discovery.

"Based on your description, Mu Sheng must have known that Yang Jian could successfully open the Ghost Domain and take you away before Yang Jian did so."

"Is it the same precognitive ability as Xiong Wenwen?"

"So, Mu Sheng must have been a ghost tamer before the ghost knocking incident, or he must have possessed some kind of supernatural artifact!"

Wang Xiaoming even began to suspect that Mu Sheng's ability to suppress the resurgence of the ghost infant within Zhou Zheng's body might have originated from this supernatural item.

"Professor Wang, is this Mu Sheng very important?" Zhao Jianguo, who had been listening to their conversation, asked.

"It's not certain yet," Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said.
"If this ability can be further developed, it will be of great help in solving the problem of the resurgence of vengeful ghosts."

"However, even though this ability has reached its limit, the principle of using the power of the vengeful spirit itself to suppress its resurgence is still more valuable than the Red Ghost Candle!"

'A red ghost candle?'

'Is this ability really that important?'

Zhao Jianguo didn't understand the principle Wang Xiaoming was talking about, but he was very clear about the value of the red ghost candle.

Those are supernatural items that can ward off attacks from vengeful ghosts; even headquarters doesn't have many in stock.

“Since he’s so important, should we send someone to bring him back?” Zhao Jianguo immediately suggested.

Although doing so may infringe on Musheng's interests, and may even have a negative impact on Musheng's life during subsequent research.

After all, no one can guarantee what will happen during the experiment.

But in this era where paranormal events are becoming increasingly frequent, the human condition is deteriorating, and we are even gradually heading towards extinction, there will always be someone who has to sacrifice!
This person could be the Ghost Tamer, it could be Zhao Jianguo, it could even be Wang Xiaoming, or of course it could be Mu Sheng!
Wang Xiaoming thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Okay, I'll go arrange it now!"

After receiving Wang Xiaoming's reply, Zhao Jianguo turned and left.

Of course, headquarters will not use any harsh methods at the beginning.

Headquarters has plenty of ways to make deals with Maki, including dealing in wealth, power, information related to paranormal events, and even paranormal items and ghosts.

As for the case where the transaction fails, that's another matter!
The next morning.

Lijing Hotel, Ganjiang District, Dachang City.

Mu Sheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Gan River below, quietly pondering something.

After a night of intensive practice, Mu Sheng cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts and entered a state of absolute rational enlightenment.

"The framework of the Golden Ghost Prison has been set up, and the gold reserves needed to smelt the vengeful ghosts have also been completed."

"It's time to forge the second ghost."

Mu Sheng searched his memories, pondering which ghost to choose as his next victim.

Regardless of which ghost it is, Mu Sheng is confident that he can successfully imprison it if he can find the ghost's true form.

But Mu Sheng still prefers to choose a fierce ghost that is more compatible with the Golden Ghost Prison.

This will not only speed up the melting and digestion process, but also make Mu Sheng's strength grow even stronger after the vengeful ghosts are melted into the Golden Ghost Prison.

"The Ghost Post Office holds many vengeful ghosts, the Haunted Bus also exposes you to a large number of them, and there are many ghosts inside the Ghost Mirror as well."

Mu Sheng recalled the places in the original work where a large number of vengeful ghosts appeared.

However, the descriptions of the vengeful ghosts in these places don't quite match the descriptions of the Golden Ghost Prison.

"I remember a ghost tamer named Feng Quan, who seemed to have a grave ghost under his control."

"Grave soil... this stuff actually fits quite well with the Ghost Prison!"

Mu Sheng glanced thoughtfully at the layer of golden ghost prison within his body.

Because there is currently only one ghost, the human skin paper ghost, in the Ghost Prison, the entire Ghost Prison has a sebum-like texture.

It looks like a paper figure or paper house that is covered with human skin paper and burned during sacrifices.

"The grave spirit also has the ability to suppress vengeful ghosts, which makes it even more suitable for my Golden Ghost Prison."

"Alright, the second ghost will be the grave ghost!"

"But what was Feng Quan's identity again? And where is he now?"

After selecting the next victim, Mu Sheng found himself in a new predicament.

Counting from the human world, this is already the ninth world, and almost a thousand years have passed.

Even with Mu Sheng's excellent memory, he could only recall the general plot; he couldn't remember the less important details.

"Ask Yang Jian!"

Mu Sheng turned around, went into his room, picked up his phone, found Yang Jian's number, and dialed it.

"Dingling bell~"

"Dingling bell~"

A dozen seconds later, Yang Jian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey! Mu Sheng, what do you want?" Yang Jian's voice sounded tired.

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Jian'er! What have you thought about that thing I told you before?"

Yang Jian asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is it?"

"That's the one, the story of the First King Yama of the Underworld!"

With Mu Sheng's reminder, Yang Jian finally remembered what he was referring to, but he had no interest in playing any games about Qin Shi Huang with Mu Sheng now.

The curse of the resurrected vengeful spirit weighed heavily on his mind. All Yang Jian wanted to do now was make money so he could leave his parents some retirement funds.

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"

After saying that, Yang Jian was about to hang up the phone when Mu Sheng quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

"Jian'er, you should have already sensed the resurgence of the vengeful spirit within you, right?"
I have a solution!"

Yang Jian stopped abruptly: "You have a way? What way?"

Even Zhou Zheng, an Interpol agent, was helpless against the resurrection of the vengeful ghost, so Yang Jian was somewhat skeptical of the method Mu Sheng mentioned.

But considering Mu Sheng's unusual knowledge of the Ghost Eye during the Knocking Ghost incident, Yang Jian was no longer certain.

Mu Sheng replied, "It's not convenient to talk about this over the phone. Let's find a place to discuss it in detail!"

"Okay!" Yang Jian thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Let's meet at nine o'clock. After I finish having breakfast with my dad, we'll meet at the square on the pedestrian street!"

"Your dad?" Mu Sheng asked in a strange tone on the other end of the phone, "Jian'er, are you stupid? Didn't your dad die when you were little?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Jian frowned. "How could my dad be dead? He's right next to me reading the newspaper!"

As Yang Jian spoke, he looked at his father, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, his entire face hidden behind the newspaper.

"Holy crap, have you encountered a ghost?! Tell me your address!"

Yang Jian was somewhat skeptical of Mu Sheng's explanation, but he still gave him his home address.

"Wait, I'll be right there!"

After saying one sentence, Mu Sheng hung up the phone.

“That’s so superstitious. How could my dad be dead?”

Yang Jian looked at the phone that had suddenly been hung up, somewhat puzzled, and then walked towards his 'father' on the sofa in the living room.

He reached out and touched the newspaper that was obscuring his 'father's' face.

"Dad, what would you like for breakfast? I'll be down in a bit."

Yang Jian's body suddenly froze. Behind the newspaper, a faceless, featureless man was revealed.

After the newspaper was turned over, the faceless man's head also turned to look at Yang Jian.

This could never be his father!

Thinking back to what Mu Sheng had just said, Yang Jian immediately understood that he had encountered a ghost again.

Wait, why is it "again"?
Without a second thought, Yang Jian turned and ran out the door.

However, as soon as he turned around, he bumped headfirst into a newspaper stained with foul-smelling blood.

The newspaper was smeared on his face, blocking his mouth and nose, and Yang Jian immediately couldn't breathe.

'This ghost is attacking me!'

Only a demon can fight a demon!

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Jian used the power of the Ghost Eye.

The scarlet ghost eye on the back of his hand suddenly opened, and Yang Jian used his red-glowing hand to pull at the newspaper covering his face.

As soon as he tore off a piece, the newspaper wrapped tightly around his head with even greater force.

Clearly, this ghost had no intention of letting him go so easily!
"You want me dead? Not so easy! You're a ghost, and I'm not human either!"

The newspaper ghost's actions fueled Yang Jian's ruthlessness. He gritted his teeth, and three more ghost eyes appeared on his face and forehead.

Several tears appeared on the blood-stained newspaper, but it still tightly wrapped around Yang Jian's head.

"Come again!"

Yang Jian let out a low roar, intending to activate the power of the Ghost Eye once again.

Just then, a golden light flashed in the room.

Mu Sheng's irritating voice rang out in the room: "Jian'er! What kind of performance art are you putting on?"

"Asphyxiation SM?"

Upon hearing Mu Sheng's voice, Yang Jian felt much more at ease, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

A red light flashed across his neck, and the fifth ghost eye was about to open.

"I'll do it. The more supernatural power I use, the faster the vengeful ghost will revive!"

Mu Sheng stopped him, raised his hand and waved, and a piece of human skin paper appeared out of thin air and was pasted on Yang Jian's head.

To be precise, it was pasted onto that blood-stained newspaper.

Then Mu Sheng walked towards the faceless man: "Since you're already here, don't leave!"

Mu Sheng waved his hand again, and a two-meter-long piece of human skin paper appeared in the room, completely wrapping up the faceless man.

The faceless man also moved, forcefully stretching his arms outwards, trying to tear the paper-like skin apart.

The surface of the paper was immediately raised into the shape of two hands, like a piece of stretched clay.

"That's pretty energetic!"

Mu Sheng smiled slightly, and a golden ghost domain instantly appeared, empowering the human skin paper.

The faceless man's resistance was immediately suppressed.

A freshly made mummy rolled onto the ground.

After Mu Sheng subdued the faceless man, Yang Jian also escaped from the blood-stained newspapers.

After wrapping itself around the blood-stained newspaper, the human skin began to wriggle and devour it.

With the human skin paper restraining him, Yang Jian suddenly felt the blood-stained newspaper covering his face loosen its grip.

With a forceful pull, he tore the blood-stained newspaper off along with the human skin paper.

"Breathe~"

Feeling a bit oxygen-deprived, Yang Jian quickly took a deep breath.

"Jian'er, what kind of protagonist physique do you have? We just went through the knocking ghost incident together yesterday, and today you've run into this newspaper ghost!"

Mu Sheng said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Yang Jian was also a little doubtful when he heard this. They had only escaped from the ghost realm of the knocking ghost at around 4 a.m. yesterday.

Just twenty-four hours later, he was attacked by a vengeful ghost in his home again.

Now that Mu Sheng has said it, it really does seem like the protagonist's unlucky constitution!

Yang Jian rolled his eyes at Mu Sheng, annoyed, and asked, "How did you get here so quickly?"

They had only been on the phone for less than a minute when Mu Sheng appeared at his house.

This speed is clearly abnormal!

"This is it!"

Mu Sheng made no attempt to hide anything; golden light burst forth from his body as he unleashed his Ghost Domain.

"The Ghost Realm possesses the power to distort reality, and within its own Ghost Realm, vengeful ghosts and ghost tamers are like gods, capable of doing many unbelievable things!"

"Teleportation is just one of the most common abilities!"

As he spoke, Mu Sheng kept teleporting and flashing within this ghostly realm shrouded in golden light.

"Although the Ghost Realm is limited in scope, as long as the connection is done well, it is easy to cross a distance of hundreds or thousands of kilometers."

Following Mu Sheng's will, a phantom projection appeared in the room, demonstrating the underlying principles to Yang Jian.

Watching the tiny figure leaping forward intermittently in the air, Yang Jian's heart stirred.

He also possesses a Ghost Domain. Since Mu Sheng can use the Ghost Domain to teleport and travel, theoretically he should be able to as well.

'It seems we need to figure out the Ghost Domain's abilities as soon as possible!'

Yang Jian thought to himself, if he had mastered this ability earlier, he could have easily escaped danger when facing the newspaper ghost.

"Since you possess the Ghost Domain, why did you trick me into reviving the Ghost Eye? You could break through the Knocking Ghost's Ghost Domain yourself, couldn't you?"

Yang Jian looked up and stared at Mu Sheng, waiting for him to give him a reasonable answer.

"Hey, you're really suspicious!" Mu Sheng said with a laugh.

Although Yang Jian suspected him, he didn't seem unhappy.

It was Yang Jian's vigilance that allowed him to survive one terrifying supernatural event after another.

Mu Sheng himself is actually quite cautious, but most of the time, he doesn't need to be.

Because under normal circumstances, he only needs to use his absolute strength to overwhelm his opponents!
"Let's find a place to talk this over. I happen to have other things to discuss with you, so let's get them all settled today!"

As Mu Sheng spoke, his mind stirred, and the paper mummy and bloodstained newspaper on the ground slowly sank into the golden ground.

Mu Sheng imprisoned him in a golden ghost prison within his body through the Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian noticed this scene and brought up the matter of familiarizing himself with the Ghost Domain's abilities once again.

As for Mu Sheng's action of taking away the newspaper ghost, he had no objection.

If Mu Sheng hadn't appeared in time, Yang Jian could have only managed to escape with his life at best.

After leaving Yang Jian's house, Mu Sheng took Yang Jian to the Lijing Hotel. Under the surprised and astonished gaze of the receptionist, they booked another room.

Just as Mu Sheng and Yang Jian were having a detailed discussion in their hotel room.

At Dajing Airport, Zhao Jianguo and others boarded a flight bound for Dachang City.
