Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 555 A Great Opportunity (First Update!)

Shuque?

Linghu Yuniang looked puzzled. When did Zheng Que change his surname?

and many more!

It seems Shu Yunying called Zheng Que that same way last time...

Before she could think any further, Qingli's voice rang out again: "Shu Yunying, when that human brat was following your aunt, you were probably playing in the mud somewhere!"

"Even if a human child wants to change his surname, he should take my surname, Qing!"

Shu Yunying sneered and immediately replied, "Qingli, you are nothing but a lonely ghost, how can you compare to me, a human cultivator?"

"Even if you knew Shuqin a long time ago, you're still just a ghost servant."

“I’m different. I’m the future head of the Shu family manor, and Shu is a talent I personally promoted. He’ll be my head butler in the future…”

Seeing Qingli and Shu Yunying suddenly start arguing, Linghu Yuniang was stunned for a moment. After realizing what was happening, she wisely stepped aside and did not participate in the dispute between the two seniors.

But at that moment, Niannu walked over to her, stared straight at her, and said with great displeasure, "Newcomer, you were really too unruly just now!"

"From now on, when you speak to Lady Qingli, you should address her as 'Lady Qingli' first."

"When you see me, you must address me as 'Lord Niannu'!"

Niannu was arrogant and domineering at this moment, her tone full of haughtiness, showing none of the obedience she showed in front of Zheng Que.

Back when Lord Zheng Que only had Lord Qing Li and Ku Lan by his side, she was the least senior, so she usually didn't dare to speak too loudly.

Later, Lord Zheng Que also subdued Shu Yunying, Luo Fuyu, Mu Xiangu... Although these female ghosts who came later were not as senior as her, their cultivation was higher than hers, and none of them were easy to mess with.

Even the recently arrived "Rouge Demon" is not easy to bully.

Now that Lord Zheng Que has finally subdued a female ghost who is less experienced and less skilled than her, she naturally has to put on airs!

Upon hearing this, Linghu Yuniang's expression immediately froze.

Her current cultivation level is the fourth level of [Scissors Prison], but the Nian Nu in front of her has a cultivation level of the sixth level of [Scissors Prison]!
If I were to refute him directly, I might get beaten up.

In a direct confrontation, she could handle Yin Huier, but she had no chance of winning against any one of Zheng Que's ghost servants!

In a flash, Linghu Yuniang quickly admitted defeat: "Nian, Lord Niannu..."

Perhaps it was the first time that another female ghost had called her "Master," and Niannu immediately revealed a satisfied smile. It turned out that bullying other ghosts felt so great!
You can come and visit this new guy often from now on...

Just then, a slender figure emerged from behind a house not far away. She was carrying a bucket with several rags draped over it. Her head was bowed, and she looked somewhat listless. It was Yin Hui'er.

Linghu Yuniang, who had just been fuming, immediately sneered when she saw this cheap senior sister. Without saying a word, she walked aggressively towards Yin Huier...

Xue Shuangzi hurried along through the blood mist.

After leaving the ward master's mansion, she followed Zheng Que's instructions and asked [Evil Shadow Play] for five "play shadows" before leaving the market and heading straight for where Ku Lan was.

The ghosts of the nearby Iron Tree Prison have been repeatedly swept away. The remaining ghosts of the Tongue-Pulling Prison and Scissors Prison immediately kept their distance upon sensing Xue Shuangzi's presence. Xue Shuangzi's journey proceeded smoothly, and she soon arrived at the foot of the hillside where the Five Fiend Ghost Eye Orchids grew. As soon as she approached, she saw a figure in black robes and under a black umbrella standing not far away, her posture leisurely, seemingly a lady on a spring outing, seemingly having nothing to do.

Standing amidst the deep blue spiritual plants, the red ribbons at the ends of her hair cascaded down like blooming canna lilies, creating a scene reminiscent of a serene and beautiful painting.

only……

At the feet of the withered orchid lay a stiff corpse, face up, its neck twisted into a pretzel. Its eyes were wide open in anger, and the blood flowing from its seven orifices had turned dark black. It lay stiffly on the ground, clearly having been dead for some time.

Amidst vast fields of Five Fiend Ghost Eye Orchids, two unfamiliar human cultivators stood guard on either side, their faces pale, as they laboriously harvested the spiritual materials.

Beside them, there were already large piles of neatly arranged [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchids].

Even so, the two human cultivators still dared not be negligent in the slightest. Even when they noticed the arrival of Xue Shuangzi and "Shadow of the Play", they didn't even have time to look up.

At this moment, Ku Lan stood still, but turned her head quickly to look behind Xue Shuangzi. After confirming that Zheng Que had not followed, she relaxed and asked listlessly, "What is it?"

Xue Shuangzi said, "Zheng Que asked me to come here and transport the resources we collected back to the base."

As she spoke, she glanced at the two human cultivators and the corpse at Ku Lan's feet, and asked, "What's the story with these three human cultivators?"

Zheng Que brought her, Mu Xiangu, and Ku Lan to this hillside just now.

After dealing with the symbiotic ghost [Azure-Eyed Spirit] that was entrenched here, no other human cultivators were seen...

Upon hearing this, Ku Lan snorted coldly. These three evil human cultivators had come to this place earlier to seize resources, and she originally intended to kill them all.

However, thinking that they could do the work for him, he spared two lives...

Of course, Zheng Que mustn't find out about this, otherwise that evil Zheng Que would definitely assign her other tasks...

Thinking of this, Ku Lan quickly said, "As long as you are willing to help me keep this secret, I will tell you about a great opportunity to become an immortal!"

A great opportunity to become an immortal?

Xue Shuangzi was slightly taken aback, but immediately became interested and hurriedly asked via telepathy, "What important task did that lord from the Underworld give you?"

Ku Lan gave a strange smile, shook her head, and said in a telepathic message, "You're also a ghost messenger now, you should have heard that lord mention you, right?"

"Zheng Que is destined by Heaven and possesses great fortune; he will surely become an immortal and attain enlightenment in the future..."

"Although Zheng Que is an evil human cultivator, he is a genuine future immortal!"

"And I possess a special Yin technique that can slowly steal the destiny, fate, and cultivation of this evil human cultivator."

"I have tried this underhanded technique many times!"

"That evil human cultivator is stupid; he never realized it."

"more importantly……"

"Even the great one in the underworld didn't notice!"
