Chapter 64: Coffin Spirit's Exclusive Armament, Silver Plague Domain (Begging for Monthly Tickets · Recommendation)

"Nether Treasure?"

Jiang Yan froze for a moment — not because he'd forgotten that 【Wealth Upon Sight of Coffin】 had a chance to nurture treasures.

It was because after the Coffin Spirit sent off Lou Ming and Chi Banruo, there'd been no movement for several days straight, and he'd assumed there was no harvest.

"Because Chi Banruo was a bit hard to digest, it was only just now that the nurturing finished."

The Coffin Spirit said happily that at last it could earn money for its master too.

"Let me see."

Jiang Yan was a little curious, then watched the coffin open to reveal a figure with Chi Banruo's appearance and a wild beast's body, holding a crouching posture.

It looked somewhat eerie, radiating a ghostly ghast qi.

Why does it look a bit like…

A tomb-guarding beast?

【Nether Treasure — Coffin-Guarding Beast Stone Sculpture · Chi Banruo】

【Transcendent Mid-Grade】

【Description: Nurtured by the Coffin Spirit, it buries along with it the grudge contained within Chi Banruo, leaches out impurities within the black coffin, and preserves the deceased's essence.

It can be placed within a graveyard or coffin, evolving into the Coffin-Guarding Beast's true form to attack opponents; after death it can repair itself by devouring grave qi.

Every Coffin-Guarding Beast can strengthen the effects of suppression or sealing, can reinforce the coffin and graveyard's intensity, and doubles the effect against beings returned from death. The more there are, the stronger the effect — stackable.】

"This is the Coffin Spirit's exclusive armament!"

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up after reading it through.

After all, the Coffin Spirit's greatest strength was never blood-thread or bone attacks, but suppressing opponents, then burying them to strengthen itself.

But powerful opponents would inevitably break free, even damaging the inner coffin walls — yet with a tomb-guarding beast, one could lock them inside for a group beatdown, then digest them.

The more living beings buried, the more Coffin-Guarding Beasts, the stronger the Coffin Spirit, the harder to break its seal — a positive feedback loop.

Most critically, double the effect against targets returned from death.

If the Corpse-Refinement Wang Ting ran into this thing, Jiang Yan would give them a thumbs-up!

"Not bad, keep up the good work!"

Jiang Yan gave the Coffin Spirit some encouragement, and the latter grew fired up as if injected with chicken blood.

In truth, this was only an appetizer.

The Coffin Spirit had one more thing it hadn't mentioned — after learning of Little Sky Ghost's ability to open up space, it had been awestruck.

This was simply its best partner.

To that end, the Coffin Spirit had already begun researching how to use the suppression properties of multiple tomb-guarding beasts to solve the problem of spatial collapse.

To build a mausoleum palace that could move freely, even roam the long river of history.

To give its master a great big surprise!

Jiang Yan continued his cultivation; time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon.

Ding!

His phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw a message on it.

【Treasure delivery has begun. Price is steep. No proxy collection at the door or by others allowed. Recipient please present identification and infuse spiritual energy. (Note: Please do not attack the courier. Consequences are your own responsibility!)】

Jiang Yan followed the procedure, and looking at the final note, grew curious.

There's no rule without cause — what on earth happened before?

Something that can deliver items should be a Blue Bird or a high-grade Terracotta Warrior, right?

As he was pondering, the space before him suddenly collapsed, and a black hole appeared.

Spatial storms churned within — even a diamond dropped in couldn't last a single second, instantly ground to dust.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Terrifying footsteps came, as if some terrifying creature were approaching.

After about half a minute, from within that space crawled out a…

Fistsized white caterpillar!

It crawled slowly through the void, came before Jiang Yan, raised its body upright, and swayed its head left and right as if confirming identity.

Then…

On that worm-body cracks split open one after another, blooming with a ghostly purple light; on closer look they'd be found lined with fangs — could that be its… mouth?

The cracks varied between light and dark — most were lit, a few already extinguished.

One of the cracks slowly opened, and from within drifted out a wooden box affixed with sealing talismans, tossed to Jiang Yan; the crack's glow also dimmed along with it.

The worm did not leave, signaling him to inspect it.

After inspecting, Jiang Yan indicated there was no problem with the goods, and tapped "signed for" successfully on his phone.

The worm turned and entered the black hole, and the space repaired itself along with it.

"Is this a space-type high-grade Terracotta Warrior? Or some kind of Cultivation Technique creation?"

The thought flashed through Jiang Yan's mind, then he took out the treasure he'd purchased at great expense.

A round piece of ink jade shimmering with starlight, brilliant as a galaxy.

His total assets were 200 points from the Divine Sakura Biology mission + 100 from the Heavenly King Treasure news + 50 points provided by small fry Lou Ming, plus several missions carried out during this period — totaling 450 points.

One point could be exchanged for thirty thousand — roughly 13.5 million.

Over the last few days, hiring a Jiangshi for tutoring, planting spirit rice, and buying large quantities of cultivation supplies had cost 50 points.

The remaining 400 points bought this piece of Star-Sky Gem Jade.

It is said that only starry skies within the Disease Domain above the Blockage Phase have a chance to give birth to them; their grade belongs to the Extraordinary Upper Tier, corresponding to the Law Seed Tier.

This price was even after the Historical Correction Bureau gave new users a thirty-percent discount on their first order.

As for why he didn't buy a Spatial-type...

Are you joking? The price of the most ordinary Spatial artifact is several times that of this one.

Moreover, points can only be exchanged for money; money cannot be exchanged back for points.

Ordinary wealthy people, even if they have money, have no channels or purchase permissions.

"Here."

Jiang Yan handed the Starry Jade to the Little Sky Ghost beside him, who had been gazing longingly yet remained obediently still.

"Gulu!"

The Little Sky Ghost did not rush to take the jade; instead, it rubbed its head against Jiang Yan's palm to express its gratitude.

Then, it opened its mouth and sucked hard.

Rustle-rustle!

Starlight scattered across the Starry Jade was swallowed up in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a pile of ash.

Buzz!

At the same time, the treasure mirror held by the Little Sky Ghost lit up; the blurry mirror surface rippled, revealing three palm-sized, exquisitely crafted bronze mirrors. Their backs bore mysterious and eerie Sky Ghost patterns and inscriptions, glowing with a dark golden luster.

"Three 【Mirrors of the Sky-Thieving Ghost】, representing three opportunities to explore the River of History. Once submerged in the River of History, they will automatically draw near to the Disease Domain, enter it, and slowly analyze the rules."

"Although the efficiency is much slower than the Sky Ghost entering directly, the advantage lies in safety and the ability to set up layouts in multiple worlds simultaneously."

Jiang Yan did not hesitate; he decisively called out to the River of History.

At the edge of the Old Days, he threw the three Mirrors of the Sky-Thieving Ghost down one by one, sinking into it, and vanished in an instant.

Once they entered a new world, they would feed back to the Sky Ghost Treasure Mirror, presenting images.

"What remains to be done now is to wait."

With expectation in his heart, Jiang Yan planned to eat Spirit Rice every day during the remaining half-month, striving to elevate all mastered skills to the 【Mastery Tier】.

Outwork everyone to death!

Three days passed in a flash; the Two-Headed Shadow-Eating Great Snake successfully broke through to the Mastery Tier.

Its size increased by half, and the number of Shadow Soldiers rose to eighty.

However, at the same time, bad news came from the Little Sky Ghost's side.

The first Mirror of the Sky-Thieving Ghost collided with an unknown creature in the River of History and turned to dust.

By the fifth day,

the second mirror successfully entered a Disease Domain.

Before the native beings could pick it up and learn basic information, the entire Disease Domain was swallowed by an unknown demon, ushering in world-ending destruction.

This mirror faces great peril; survival is unlikely.

Only the last 【Mirror of the Sky-Thieving Ghost】 remained.

The last hope of the whole village!

It was sinking continuously against the flow of the River of History.

Finally, on the ninth day...

It was swept away by chaotic currents of history, entering a void land where it stopped sinking and remained completely motionless.

It was equivalent to being exiled.

"It's over!"

Jiang Yan's hanging heart finally died.

"It's fine. If the deployment fails, we will explore on our own."

Although Jiang Yan felt a pang of heartache, he comforted the disappointed Little Sky Ghost with a calm expression on his face.

Investment carries risks; we will try again later.

However, on the eleventh day, the situation suddenly took a turn.

The unknown creature that had swallowed the second 【Mirror of the Sky-Thieving Ghost】 began the cycle of the five grains.

Then, it excreted a large amount of filth into a massive Disease Domain shimmering with a silver luster.
