After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 259 Renting a Warehouse
It's simply impossible to achieve an effect devoid of any spiritual energy.

The Spirit Investigation Bureau could only send people to put artifacts with similar transformation progress together, deploy defenses in advance, and attack them as soon as they transformed.

If it weren't for the fact that guns and cannons would shatter the spirits of unclaimed spirits, forcing cultivators to take the lead, they wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Seeing Zhao Huoyan looking very worried, Song Miaozhu had an idea.

Why not take this opportunity to tie the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation to our own big ship?
It's not that she's tied to the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, but rather that the Paranormal Investigation Bureau is tied to her. She has the initiative, so the Paranormal Investigation Bureau will only be more careful in dealing with her.

If the spiritual energy tide truly declines to a point where everyone knows it, and her Little Bamboo Mountain still retains a rich spiritual aura, then the Spirit Adjustment Bureau will do its best to help her!

Now Song Miaozhu is reluctant to let anyone venture deep into Xiaozhu Mountain, especially intruders.

Even if we get trapped by all sorts of paper effigies, we can't let the spiritual energy of the mountain go to others.

Thinking of this, she said to Zhao Huoyan, "Actually, if you really can't do anything about this, you can ask me to rent a warehouse and paper doll manager from the underworld! I can provide as many as you need, and you can take them out and put them away as you please. I guarantee there won't be a trace of spiritual energy in them."

Zhao Huoyan was stunned: "It can be like this?"

“Of course, anything is negotiable as long as the price is right. I rented this warehouse from the Underworld Bureau anyway,” Song Miaozhu said.

"The Underworld Commerce Bureau?" Zhao Huoyan asked in confusion.

Aside from the matter of the top-grade spirit stones, Song Miaozhu was not afraid to tell anyone anything else: "Well, my ancestor gave me a ghost shop in the underworld, and the warehouse is inside the ghost shop. It is because of this ghost shop that I have been able to maintain contact with the underworld."

"!!!" Zhao Huoyan exclaimed in surprise, "Are you considered a second-generation ghost?"

He often heard people say that he was a second-generation official, but now he felt that he was not as powerful as Master Song, that ghost second-generation. Master Song's ancestors had arranged everything clearly after his death.

"..." Song Miaozhu: "Just tell me if you're interested or not! If you are, the rental price is 100 yuan per cubic meter per month. If you want to ensure that the cultural relics are not corroded by the yin energy, you also need to rent specially made yin wood boxes and yin wood shelves to store the cultural relics. The rental price for small yin wood boxes is 20 yuan per month, medium size is 100 yuan per month, and large size is 200 yuan each. The yin wood shelves are double that. Oh, right, the appearance fee for warehouse managers is relatively expensive, and it requires at least two people working together, 300 yuan per person per day, with one day off per week."

After quoting the price, she was even more eager for the Department of Paranormal Investigations to agree.

After all, she is now expanding the warehouse to store cultural relics, and the warehouse space, the wooden boxes, and the wooden shelves all cost her a lot of ghost money every month.

It might be a drop in the bucket for her current income, but she should save where she can!

If the Bureau of Spirits and Inquiry agrees to rent it, the difference she makes as a middleman will be enough to cover the rent for her ghost shop, warehouse, vault, ghost wooden boxes, ghost wooden shelves, and even the cost of raising the little paper servants!
It's like the Bureau of Spirits is paying her rent to support her paper servants.

Once the Department of Paranormal Investigations places the artifacts into the underworld through her, her personal safety will be just as important to the Department of Paranormal Investigations as the artifacts themselves.

After all, she's gone, so no one can take these artifacts out of the underworld.

Song Miaozhu thought it was a good deal, and Zhao Huoyan also thought it was a good deal. All these expenses combined couldn't compare to the funds that the Spirit Investigation Bureau was currently spending on cultural relic management.

Moreover, funding is a minor issue. The country is now financially strong, and wasting human and material resources is a major problem. There are still so many cultural relics underground that are in a state of no supervision.

However, this matter was not within the Bureau of Spirits Investigation's expectations, and he did not have the authority to make a final decision. In order to avoid the matter being delayed and changing, he said: "I will contact the headquarters immediately and settle this matter as soon as possible. Please wait a moment!"

He personally felt that this matter was entirely beneficial and without any harm. The only remaining issues were how big a warehouse to rent, how many yin wooden boxes and shelves to hire, how many warehouse managers to hire, and whether the entire Department of Spirits should rent one warehouse for unified management or each branch should rent and manage its own warehouse.

Song Miaozhu nodded and sat back down.

There was no other way; besides the interior of Anshou Paper Shop being set up as a reception area, the attic was also piled with miscellaneous items, so she had nowhere else to hide.

Of course, she was also hoping that the people at the General Administration would be hesitant to cause trouble and would expedite the process.

After all, she wasn't exactly known as an easy person in the Spirit Investigation Bureau.

Zhao Huoyan first called the director of the Spirit Investigation Bureau and briefly explained the matter.

However, all major decisions concerning the Bureau of Spirits Investigation cannot be made by him alone; they must be discussed in meetings.

The Director of the Bureau of Spirits Investigation immediately contacted the leaders of various departments and convened an emergency online meeting.

Of course, when the meeting was initiated, it was also noted that Master Song Miaozhu was in the audience.

At this moment, Song Miaozhu listened in but did not appear on screen, yet no one dared to say anything, and no one knew what her cultivation level was now.

"This rent is much cheaper than the standard rent, considering how expensive rent is in major cities these days! I think it's a great deal!"

"I think so too. These cultural relics are really difficult to manage, and it would be best to have a proper place for them."

"These are the paper effigy administrators. Can they properly preserve the cultural relics?"

"Yes! The paper doll administrator, is it Master Song's spirit object? Compared to a real person, a spirit object is still much clumsy!"

Song Miaozhu spoke up at the right moment: "You don't need to worry about that. The cultural relics are stored in the Yin wood boxes and Yin wood shelves, which is already foolproof. The paper figures are also very experienced in moving cultural relics. They help manage all my cultural relics. At worst, we can write the clause about compensating for damage to cultural relics at the price in the contract. I can afford to compensate. However, it only applies to damage that occurs during the management process. Once the paper figure administrator puts the cultural relics into the Yang world warehouse you designate, he will no longer be responsible."

"Master Song! Can we see what the paper doll administrator looks like?" someone asked.

Song Miaozhu did not answer. Instead, two small paper servants on the table in front of her walked hand in hand into the range of the camera. Then, with a whoosh, an antique shadow puppet box appeared in front of her, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow puppet box disappeared again.

In the blink of an eye, many people recognized it as one of the artifacts used to exchange information about the spirits.

The little paper servants briefly demonstrated their abilities, even typing the sentence "We're very clever" on the keyboard with their feet before sending it out and returning to the underworld warehouse.

Now no one is asking whether the paper doll administrator actually has that ability.

Although they only appeared for a short while, no one doubted the intelligence of these palm-sized paper figures.

It is definitely far superior to other spiritual beings currently available.
