The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 432 Huanggang Village! The Gravesite Ghost! (Seeking monthly votes)

After half an hour.

Having failed to achieve their goal, Zhao Jianguo and his group left the Lijing Hotel.

"Minister Zhao, this Mu Sheng is too selfish. If it weren't for the sacrifices of our Interpol agents, things would have been in chaos long ago."

"This person enjoys the peace that countless Interpol officers sacrificed for, yet is unwilling to give up anything."

"I think we should just order his requisition, or arrest him if he disagrees!"

"I can't believe it," one of the subordinates said indignantly.

"Alright, don't say things like that!"

Zhao Jianguo interrupted his subordinate's complaint: "If we're talking about research value, Ye Zhen's ability to act as a scapegoat on the paranormal forum is more useful. Are we going to arrest him too?"

The mental state of a ghost tamer is inherently unstable, and Zhao Jianguo does not want to use overly radical methods unless absolutely necessary.

"Besides, didn't Mu Sheng agree to cooperate with headquarters?"

After being reprimanded by Zhao Jianguo, the subordinates stopped talking.

"Qin Meirou!" Zhao Jianguo looked at his female subordinate beside him: "You will stay in Dachang City for the time being and be responsible for liaising with Mu Sheng."

"Yes, Minister Zhao!"

Qin Meirou agreed without hesitation.

Even knowing that the purpose of staying behind was partly due to the honey trap, the fact that so many of the operators at headquarters were women also contributed to this.

After all, women have an advantage when it comes to calming the emotions of those who control demons.

"Let's go, since we're already here, let's also go see Yang Jian!"

Soon, Zhao Jianguo led his subordinates to their next destination.

In a top-floor room at the Lijing Hotel.

Mu Sheng was looking at the USB drive left by Zhao Jianguo on his computer.

It contains a lot of information about vengeful ghosts, as well as basic information about the paranormal community.

Just as Mu Sheng had predicted, Zhao Jianguo and the others visited him for the purpose of obtaining the method he used to suppress the resurgence of the ghost infant within Zhou Zheng.

Mu Sheng certainly couldn't hand it over, nor could he. It was because he used the refining panel's function to cleanse the ghost's supernatural power and then applied it back to the ghost that created the sealing and suppression effect.

There was no way Mu Sheng would hand over the refining panel.

As for moral blackmail such as prioritizing the overall situation.

Excuse me, but he's in charge of the bigger picture!

After briefly browsing the information on the USB drive, Mu Sheng unplugged the USB drive and put it away. He then pulled out a piece of human skin paper and began to deduce its contents.

Soon, they obtained the information they wanted.

A flash of golden light appeared on Mu Sheng's body, and he disappeared into the hotel.

Time to get down to business!
Huanggang Village.

Mu Sheng stood on the road leading into the village, looking at the stone tablet engraved with the village's name.

"People named Huanggang are indeed terrifying!"

Mu Sheng recalled the fear he felt when he was dominated by the famous Huanggang exam papers, and couldn't help but shudder.

It's impossible to finish, there's simply no way to finish it!
Looking along the road leading into the village, the first half of Huanggang Village consists of newly built rural villas, while the second half is old and dilapidated.

The dilapidated mud and wood house, with its broken doors and windows, and the darkness inside where not a ray of sunlight could penetrate.

It sent a chill down my spine for no apparent reason, as if some unclean thing was lurking in the darkness, coveting the yang energy of the living.

"Is this the ghost realm of the ghost messengers?"

Mu Sheng looked around the village with curiosity.

He pondered whether he had any way to imprison the ghost messenger in the Golden Ghost Prison.

"Um, it seems... it seems I can't do it!"

The entire Huanggang Village is actually a ghost realm unfolded from the ghost coffin.

With Mu Sheng's current level one Golden Ghost Prison, entering and leaving Huanggang Village is not difficult.

However, suppressing the entire ghost realm and imprisoning it is beyond their capabilities!

"Forget it, let's drag Feng Quan out of his coffin first and complete my Golden Ghost Prison!"

After making the decision, Mu Sheng stepped into Huanggang Village.

Following the road through the village, Musheng soon arrived in front of a building.

The building's main entrance was wide open, flanked by wreaths. Inside, a vermilion coffin sat, its blood-red color somewhat eerie.

A portrait of a handsome man in a suit was placed in front of the coffin.

A group of villagers dressed in mourning clothes were burning paper money while weeping.

Upon seeing outsiders enter, some villagers turned their gaze toward Mu Sheng.

"Where did you come from? Get out of here! This is not a place for you."

A middle-aged man, looking very unhappy, walked over and tried to drive Mu Sheng away.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng did not stop walking, but only glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently.

The latter froze on the spot, his body trembled, and his head fell off, crashing to the ground with a thud.

There are no living people in the ghost realm; these villagers are nothing more than ghost slaves.

"what"

"What's wrong, honey?"

"Murder! Someone killed Zhao Laosan! Catch him quickly, don't let him get away!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man's body dismembered, the villagers in the mourning hall immediately swarmed around Mu Sheng.

"You idiot, at least try to use your logic!"

"What normal person would rush forward in such a situation?"

Mu Sheng casually remarked, as several golden rays burst forth from his body and spun around him once.

The surrounding villagers were instantly cut into several pieces, scattered all over the ground like building blocks.

The ground was littered with corpses, yet not a drop of blood had flowed out, making the scene in the white-draped mourning hall look particularly eerie.

However, Mu Sheng acted as if nothing had happened, stepping over the pieces of corpse scattered on the ground and arriving at the vermilion coffin in the middle of the mourning hall.

"Boom! Boom!"

Mu Sheng tapped the coffin lid lightly a few times with his knuckles.

"Feng Quan, you've been sleeping for so long, it's time to get up and pee!"

"Did you hear me? If you don't get up, you might wet the bed—no, you'll wet the coffin!"

"Feng Quan!? Feng Quan, did you hear me?"

Mu Sheng called out repeatedly, but there was no response from inside the coffin.

Little did Mu Sheng know that Feng Quan was plotting how to trick him into leaving.

Before a ghost messenger has fully matured, he can only suppress the power of one ghost. Feng Quan, however, is a ghost tamer who can control two ghosts.

That's how he achieved a balance with the ghost messenger, allowing him to find an opportunity to hide in the coffin.

After entering the ghost coffin, Feng Quancai was surprised to discover that the coffin had the power to turn people into ghosts.

This discovery ignited a surge of ambition in Feng Quan's heart.

If he could use the ghost coffin to transform himself into a ghost with human consciousness, not only would the crisis of the resurgence of vengeful ghosts be resolved, but he could also become the top ghost tamer.

It might even bring an end to the era of the supernatural!

However, Feng Quan hadn't expected that before he could complete his transformation, the rescue team sent by headquarters arrived, and found him so quickly. 'No, I can't leave the ghost coffin yet!'

Feng Quan's brain worked at lightning speed, and he quickly came up with a plausible excuse.

"Cough cough."

Just as Feng Quan coughed a few times, about to say something, the coffin lid of the ghost coffin was suddenly lifted.

Feng Quan's body instantly solidified and appeared in the coffin.

"woke up!?"

Mu Sheng's large face immediately loomed above the coffin, and he smiled at Feng Quan, who was inside looking somewhat bewildered.

"You...you shouldn't have come to save me."

Feng Quan was taken aback by Mu Sheng's quick action. After a moment of surprise, he continued with the excuse he had prepared.

However, Mu Sheng didn't give him any room to show off his acting skills, and with one hand he lifted Feng Quan out of the coffin.

"I shouldn't be here, but I am. Stop dawdling and give me the stuff!"

'Things? What things?'

'Was this person really sent by headquarters to rescue me?'

A thought suddenly flashed through Feng Quan's mind: he might have misunderstood something.

However, before Feng Quan could do anything, Mu Sheng suddenly stabbed his stomach with one of his hands.

The excruciating pain from his internal organs instantly jolted Feng Quan's brain.

At this moment, he knew perfectly well that the person in front of him was not only not a rescuer sent by headquarters, but also had ill intentions towards him!

"Damn it, I was careless!"

Despite being stabbed in the abdomen, Feng Quan dared not be careless and immediately released the vengeful ghost within him.

A thick fog, almost dripping with water, instantly filled the mourning hall.

This is one of the ghosts that Feng Quan controls—Ghost Mist.

Anyone or any ghost that moves through the ghostly fog will be corrupted by the ghosts in the fog.

Furthermore, ghost mist is also a form of ghost domain. Ghost tamers or ghosts without ghost domain abilities find it difficult to escape.

The chilly fog dampened Mu Sheng's clothes and seeped into his body with each breath.

Upon sensing the erosion of his body by the supernatural power, Mu Sheng smiled:
"Impressive ability, I like it!"

Although Ghost Mist can be considered a type of Ghost Domain, it is far inferior to Mu Sheng's Golden Ghost Domain, Yang Jian's Ghost Eye Ghost Domain, and Li Jun's Ghost Fire Ghost Domain at headquarters.

However, since it was still a kind of ghost realm, it immediately triggered Mu Sheng's collecting obsession.

"You like it?"

Enraged by Mu Sheng's domineering attitude, Feng Quan immediately unleashed the power of the grave spirit, intending to bury Mu Sheng.

However, the next second, Feng Quan was horrified to discover that the grave spirit inside his body was completely out of control.

"What have you done? Is this the demon you control? You can completely suppress a demon!"

Feng Quan suddenly thought of the ghost messengers, who also possessed the ability to completely suppress a ghost.

"So that's how it is. You were the one behind the ghostly events in Huanggang Village. You were using the ghost coffin to lure people in. Who exactly are you?"

"Huh!?" Mu Sheng looked at Feng Quan with some surprise. How could this guy have such a wild imagination?
It's a shame you're not writing novels!

However, Mu Sheng's change in expression made Feng Quan even more certain of his judgment.

"WeChat Moments? Paranormal forums? Or maybe a little notebook-style exorcism club?"

Feng Quan kept rattling off the names of domestic and international paranormal organizations, trying to probe Mu Sheng's background.

At the same time, the ghostly mist continued to erode Mu Sheng, and a pair of pale hands emerged from the mist, reaching towards Mu Sheng's neck.

"Ha, you're being naughty~"

A thick layer of human skin suddenly appeared on Mu Sheng's neck, protecting him from the attack of the Ghost in the Mist.

The layer of golden ghost prison within his body also intensified the suppression of the earth ghosts within Feng Quan's tomb.

With a sudden burst of strength, he pulled a large chunk of grave soil out of Feng Quan's stomach.

Feng Quan, the ghost tamer who controlled two ghosts, was helplessly forced to have the vengeful spirit ripped out of his body.

"what"

Feng Quan screamed in agony.

Over time, the ghost tamer has become one with the vengeful spirit.

Mu Sheng's actions at this moment were like scraping bones and tendons out of Feng Quan's body, and the excruciating pain immediately overwhelmed Feng Quan's reason.

Unlike Feng Quan's pain, Mu Sheng's face showed the joy of his achievement.

Just as he was about to imprison the Grave Earth Ghost in the Golden Ghost Prison within his body, a young man in a suit silently appeared behind Mu Sheng.

"You dare to snatch food from my jaws? You're asking for death!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Sheng's eyes, and a burst of golden light shone behind him, illuminating the entire mourning hall.

Under the golden light, the ghost in the mist behind Mu Sheng, as well as the ghost messenger who was about to attack the ghost in the mist, were clearly visible in Mu Sheng's perception.

It turns out that while Mu Sheng was suppressing the Grave Earth Ghost, the lone Mist Ghost triggered the Ghost Messenger's killing rule.

Initially, the ghost messengers are not scary; they can only suppress one vengeful ghost. However, as the ghost messengers absorb more and more vengeful ghosts, the number of ghosts they can suppress will also increase.

In the original story, a ghost messenger who grew to the point of being able to suppress eight vengeful spirits almost wiped out the entire headquarters.

"Go back to hiding in your portrait!"

Mu Sheng shoved the Grave Earth Ghost into the Ghost Domain with a backhand, and the suppressive power of the Golden Ghost Prison instantly acted on the Ghost in the Mist.

They fought with the ghost messengers for ownership of the Ghost in the Mist!

Not counting the grave ghost that was just plucked from Feng's body, Mu Sheng also has two ghosts inside him: the human skin paper ghost and the newspaper ghost, plus a Golden Ghost Prison of even higher rank.

In the initial stages, the ghost messengers were no match for Mu Sheng.

The moment the two made contact, the ghostly messengers slowly retreated.

"You little piece of trash, I'll deal with you later!"

After the ghost messengers retreated, the ghost in the mist was no match for Mu Sheng. It was quickly suppressed by the Golden Ghost Prison and shrank into a cloud of mist.

Mu Sheng took out several gold bricks from his refining space, kneaded them with his bare hands to create a golden container, and then sealed the Ghost in the Mist.

The grave mound ghosts haven't been smelted into the Golden Ghost Prison yet, so the ghost mist isn't suitable to be placed inside the Golden Ghost Prison for the time being.

After dealing with the ghostly mist, Mu Sheng looked down at Feng Quan.

The two ghosts inside Feng Quan's body were successively removed, which prevented the vengeful spirits from reviving, but also left Feng Quan's body riddled with holes.

He collapsed weakly to the ground, barely able to breathe.

"It's such a waste to waste such a fine ox or horse!"

Mu Sheng thought for a moment, then squatted down and left a golden Ghost Prison mark on Feng Quan's body—the Ghost Slave Mark!

With the supernatural power of the Ghost Slave Seal, Feng Quan's condition quickly stabilized.

After confirming that Feng Quan wouldn't die anytime soon, Mu Sheng didn't rush to deal with him. Instead, he focused his attention on the ghost coffin in the middle of the mourning hall.

The ghost messengers he had driven back were now lingering around the ghost coffin, trying to break through Mu Sheng's blockade and slip back inside.

"A ghost coffin that can give birth to ghosts, and a ghost messenger that can grow infinitely and suppress multiple vengeful ghosts!"

Mu Sheng couldn't help but lick his lips; he wanted both of them!

The current level of the Golden Ghost Prison is not enough to suppress the Ghost Prison of Huanggang Village, let alone imprison it.

"I really want it! What should I do?"
