Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 562 Dispatch. (Second update!)

A moment later, Xue Shuangzi limped out of the main hall of the ward master's mansion.

Her hair was disheveled, with two long hairpins hanging precariously in her dark hair, swaying with her steps. Her clothes were disheveled, her shoulders were slightly exposed, and her whole being exuded a seductive charm amidst her fierce aura.

She casually pulled up her outer robe, glanced around at the empty surroundings, her face ashen, her heart filled with immense anger.

I was fooled by that withered orchid!

The "Sleight of Hands" technique cannot detect any of Zheng Que's cultivation levels.

Although I felt quite comfortable just now... I must settle this score with that Ku Lan!

Just as she was secretly making plans, a figure in a yellowish-brown dress quietly appeared beside her.

The newcomer was dressed simply and elegantly, his flowing robes and graceful movements exuding a refined and elegant air, truly embodying the spirit of a celestial being.

Xue Shuangzi was slightly taken aback, then immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Mu!"

Mu Xiangu glanced at her, her gaze sweeping over her disheveled hair and loose hairpins without any surprise or emotion. She simply said calmly, "Xue Shuangzi, I have a task for you to do."

Xue Shuangzi immediately perked up, disregarding her current fatigue, and quickly asked, "What task did that lord assign you?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiangu shook his head, took out a finely crafted human skin with beautiful features, handed it to Xue Shuangzi, and instructed her telepathically: "Find an opportunity to use the identity of Gao Yinxia from the Heavenly Artifact Sect to deceive Zheng Que again."

???

Xue Shuangzi was stunned. Why does Lord Mu Xiangu always give her such strange tasks?

Although this task wasn't particularly difficult, but...

I feel like something's not quite right.
At this moment, Mu Xiangu stuffed the human skin into Xue Shuangzi's hand and walked directly into the main hall of the brothel owner's mansion.

Watching the ivory-yellow dress drift away, Xue Shuangzi slowly came back to her senses. Although she found it strange, she quickly put away the human skin and then fled towards the hillside where the Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid was located.

Anyway, Lady Mu Xiangu only told her to find an opportunity to deceive Zheng Que, but she didn't say that she had to do this task immediately.

Since time wasn't too tight, she naturally wanted to settle accounts with that withered orchid first!

※※※

The owner's mansion.

Main hall.

Zheng Que used a hand seal to clean up his surroundings, changed into a clean robe, and before he could get up, a figure flashed at the door, and Mu Xiangu walked in.

Upon seeing Mu Xiangu, Zheng Li immediately took out the [Soul Eater Ink Weapon] he had just borrowed from her, and while returning it, asked, "Approximately how long will the writing left by this [Soul Eater Ink Weapon] last?"

Mu Xiangu put away the [Soul Eater Ink Weapon] and calmly replied, "That depends on where you leave it."

"If it were left on ordinary paper, it would fade quickly as long as the surrounding yin energy is not strong enough."

"If it remains on a ghost, it will directly become part of the ghost's body."

"If it remains on a cultivator's body, it will remain there as long as the cultivator doesn't wipe it off."

Hearing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly.

He had witnessed Mu Xiangu's [Soul-Eating Ink Weapon] in that "strange" gathering at Baozhen Valley. Once it painted on a person, if you really tried to wipe it off, the person would also be severely affected.

He had something drawn on his body by Mu Xiangu back then...

Of course, Yan Bingyi's cultivation level was too high, so this [Soul-Eating Ink Weapon] definitely couldn't hurt her.

However, the writing left by the [Soul Eater Ink Soldier] allowed him to assess Yan Bingyi's recovery progress. If the writing ever disappeared, he would have to prepare to flee for his life…

Thinking of this, Zheng Que asked again, "How is the construction of the market area progressing?"

Mu Xiangu replied, "It has been completed, and all the details have been repaired."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que nodded and said, "In that case, let [Evil Shadow Play] be in charge of guarding and mining the Crimson Marrow Crystal Mine and the Ice Soul Spirit Spring."

"After the resources are mined, we send 'Shadow Operators' to transport them back."

He had already planned it in his mind. The Crimson Marrow Crystal Mine was seized from Zhuo Tingchen in Yanzhou. Although Shengdu had become one of the "Shadows" of the Evil Shadow Play, Gu Xiangdong, who was in the middle stage of Core Formation, had escaped. He didn't know when Gu Xiangdong might come back to kill him.

Therefore, we arranged for [Evil Shadow Play] to be stationed at the Crimson Mine Crystal Mine, so even if Gu Xiangdong came, we would have nothing to fear!
In addition, the Shadow Play is a "wicked" entity of the Iron Tree Prison. It controls a number of "Shadow Play" entities and can easily guard two resource points that are not far apart, or even mine both resource points.

This is much more efficient than his few disobedient [Scissors Prison] ghost servants!

Ok……

The [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid] from the withered orchid's side could also be given to [Evil Shadow Play]...

Just as Zheng Que was pondering, Mu Xian Gu flicked his sleeve and sent a telepathic order to [Evil Shadow Play].

A moment later, Mu Xiangu spoke up, "I have already told [Evil Shadow Play] the exact locations of those two resource points, and [Evil Shadow Play] has already set off for those two locations."

At this point, she added, "Next time you see the ghost bride, don't forget what you promised me last time."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Li nodded immediately.

What Mu Xiangu was talking about was asking him to inquire with Luo Fuyu about methods to control "strange things"...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately replied, "No problem."

"However, Luo Fuyu is not here now."

"Send a message to Kulan and tell her to come back."

"The mining of that [Five Fiends Ghost Eye Orchid] will also be overseen by [Evil Shadow Play]."

Mu Xiangu replied indifferently, "I understand."

Having finished discussing business, she had no intention of lingering and turned to leave.

Zheng Que was left alone in the main hall.

With a slight thought, he took out a communication jade talisman from his storage bag, the one that Fu Tao had left behind last time.

Originally, he had agreed with the other party that as long as he captured Zhuo Tingchen's resource points, the Fu clan of Luanzhou would provide him with spells, magical artifacts, and information about undeveloped "strange" entities...

The Shadow Play has now gone to that Crimson Crystal Mine.

The promise made to the Fu family of Luanzhou has been fulfilled.

However, we cannot contact Fu Tao at this time.

He needed to wait for Luo Fuyu to return so he could check if there were any problems with the five spells Yan Bingyi had given him...

Once the five spells Yan Bingyi gave him are all working properly, he will no longer need the spells from the Fu family of Luanzhou.

After all, Yin Congyi, as the young master of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, was willing to become Yan Bingyi's master, which means that the techniques and cultivation methods provided by Yan Bingyi must be better than the resources that most of the powerful and noble people in the imperial court could access!
At that time, he would simply replace the magic promised to him by the Fu family of Luanzhou with a magical artifact...
