Chapter 64: Coffin Spirit's Exclusive Weapon, Silver Disease Domain (Seeking Monthly Votes, Recommend)
"Nether Treasure?"
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, not because he had forgotten that [See Coffin, Get Rich] had a probability of gestating treasures.
It was because the Coffin Spirit had been quiet for several days after sending off Lou Ming and Chi Banruo, so he had assumed there was no harvest.
"Because Chi Banruo was a bit hard to digest, it only just finished gestating."
The Coffin Spirit said happily, glad that it could finally earn money for its master too.
"Let me see."
Jiang Yan was a bit curious, and then he saw the coffin open, revealing a creature inside that looked like Chi Banruo, with the body of a beast, remaining in a crouching posture.
It looked somewhat eerie, emitting a faint ghostly aura.
Why does it look a bit like...
A tomb-guarding beast?
[Nether Treasure — Coffin-Guarding Beast Stone Sculpture · Chi Banruo]
[Transcendental Mid-Tier]
[Description: Gestated by the Coffin Spirit, it buries the resentment contained within Chi Banruo, extracts impurities within the black coffin, and preserves the essence of the deceased.
It can be placed in a graveyard or inside a coffin; it can manifest the original form of a Coffin-Guarding Beast to attack opponents, and after death, it can be repaired by devouring tomb aura.
Each Coffin-Guarding Beast can strengthen the effects of suppression or sealing, can reinforce the strength of the coffin and the graveyard, and its effect is doubled against resurrected life forms. The more there are, the stronger the effect; they can be stacked.]
"This is the Coffin Spirit's exclusive weapon!"
After reading this, Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.
After all, the Coffin Spirit's strongest point is not its blood-thread or white-bone attacks, but suppressing opponents, then burying them to strengthen itself.
However, powerful opponents will inevitably break free, or even damage the inner coffin walls, but with a Coffin-Guarding Beast, he can lock people inside for a group beating, and then digest them.
The more living beings buried, the more Coffin-Guarding Beasts there are, the stronger the Coffin Spirit becomes, and the harder it is to break the seal, forming a positive feedback loop.
Most importantly, the effect is doubled against resurrected targets.
If the Corpse-Dissection Wang Ting encounters this and doesn't run, Jiang Yan will give them a thumbs up!
"Not bad, keep up the good work!"
Jiang Yan encouraged the Coffin Spirit, making the latter as high-spirited as if it had been injected with adrenaline.
In reality, this was just an appetizer.
The Coffin Spirit had one more thing it hadn't mentioned: after learning of the Little Sky Ghost's ability to open up space, the Coffin Spirit was amazed.
This was simply its best partner.
For this reason, the Coffin Spirit had already begun to study how to solve the problem of spatial collapse through the suppression characteristics of multiple Coffin-Guarding Beasts.
To build a mausoleum palace that can move freely, and even travel through the long river of history.
To give its master a big surprise!
Jiang Yan continued to cultivate; time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
Ding!
His phone vibrated, and when he picked it up to look, there was a message on it.
[The treasure is being dispatched. It is expensive, and doorstep collection by others or collection by others on your behalf is not allowed. Please present your identification and inject spiritual energy upon receipt. (Note: Do not attack the courier, consequences at your own risk!)]
Jiang Yan followed the procedure, and looking at the final note, he was a bit curious.
There are no rules without reason; what exactly happened before?
Being able to dispatch items, it should be a Blue Bird or high-level soldiers, right?
Just as he was pondering, the space in front of him suddenly collapsed, and a black hole appeared.
Spatial storms flowed within it; even if a diamond fell into it, it wouldn't last a second, instantly turning into powder.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Terrifying footsteps approached, as if a terrifying creature were drawing near.
After about half a minute, out of that space crawled a...
Fist-sized white caterpillar!
It crawled slowly through the void, arrived in front of Jiang Yan, stood up, and swayed its head left and right, seemingly confirming his identity.
Then...
Cracks split open on the worm's body, blooming with faint purple light; looking closely, one would find it covered in fangs—was this actually its... mouth?
The light and dark within the cracks varied; most were lit, while a few had already gone out.
One of the cracks slowly opened, and a wooden box with a sealing talisman stuck to it floated out and was tossed to Jiang Yan; the radiance of the crack dimmed accordingly.
The worm did not leave, signaling him to check it.
After Jiang Yan checked it and indicated that the item was fine, he clicked "Confirm Receipt" on his phone.
The worm turned and entered the black hole, and the space was repaired accordingly.
"Is this a spatial-type high-level soldier? Or some kind of cultivation technique product?"
Thoughts flashed through Jiang Yan's mind, and then he took out the treasure he had spent a huge sum to purchase.
A circular black jade shimmering with starlight, as brilliant as a galaxy.
His total assets were 200 points from the Shenying Biological mission + 100 from the Heavenly King's treasure news + 50 points provided by the small-fry Lou Ming, plus the several missions he had carried out during this period, totaling 450 points.
One point could be exchanged for 30,000, which was about 13.5 million.
In the last few days, he had spent 50 points on hiring zombies for tutoring, planting spiritual rice, and purchasing a large amount of cultivation supplies.
He used the remaining 400 points to buy this piece of starry sky treasure jade.
It is said that only the starry sky of a Disease Domain above the Clogged Stage has a probability of gestating it, and its grade belongs to the Transcendental Upper-Tier, corresponding to the Dharma Seed level.
This price was still after the History Correction Bureau gave a 30% discount for a newcomer's first order.
As for why he didn't buy a spatial-type one...
Are you kidding? The price of the most ordinary spatial item is several times higher than this.
Moreover, points can only be exchanged for money, but money cannot be exchanged back into points.
Even if ordinary rich people have money, they have no channels or purchasing authorization.
"Here you go."
Jiang Yan handed the starry sky treasure jade to the Little Sky Ghost, which had been longing for it but had remained well-behaved all along.
"Gulu!"
The Little Sky Ghost didn't rush to take the treasure jade, but instead rubbed its head against Jiang Yan's palm to express its gratitude.
Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled forcefully.
Swish!
The starlight permeating the starry sky treasure jade was devoured in the blink of an eye, leaving only a pile of ash.
Hum!
At the same time, the treasure mirror held by the Little Sky Ghost lit up, and ripples stirred on the blurry mirror surface, revealing three palm-sized, exquisitely crafted bronze mirrors, with mysterious and eerie Sky Ghost patterns and inscriptions on the back, glowing with a dark golden luster.
"Three [Sky-Stealing Ghost Mirrors], representing three opportunities to explore the long river of history. As long as they sink into the long river of history, they will automatically approach a Disease Domain when they get close, enter it, and slowly analyze its rules.
Although the efficiency is much slower than the Sky Ghost entering directly, it has the advantage of being safe and can lay out plans in multiple worlds simultaneously."
Jiang Yan did not hesitate and decisively called out to the long river of history.
At the edge of the old days, he threw the three Sky-Stealing Ghost Mirrors down one by one; they sank into it and vanished in an instant.
Once they enter a new world, they will feed back to the Sky Ghost Treasure Mirror, presenting images.
"The next thing to do is wait."
Jiang Yan felt expectant in his heart, and taking advantage of the remaining half a month, he ate spiritual rice every day, striving to upgrade all the skills he had mastered to the [Mastery Level].
To out-compete everyone!
Three days flashed by, and the Two-Headed Shadow-Eating Snake successfully broke through to the Mastery Level.
Its body size increased by half, and the number of Shadow Soldiers increased to 80.
However, at the same time, bad news came from the Little Sky Ghost's side.
The first Sky-Stealing Ghost Mirror collided with an unknown creature in the long river of history and turned into powder.
By the fifth day,
The second mirror successfully entered a Disease Domain.
Before it could be picked up by local creatures to learn basic information, the entire Disease Domain was swallowed by some unknown demon, ushering in the end of the world.
This mirror was in grave danger.
Only the last [Sky-Stealing Ghost Mirror] remained.
The last hope of the whole village!
It went against the long river of history and was still sinking continuously.
Finally, on the ninth day...
It was swept away by a historical turbulence and entered a land of nothingness; it stopped sinking and remained motionless.
It was equivalent to being banished.
"It's over!"
Jiang Yan's hanging heart died completely.
"It's fine, if the deployment fails, then I'll just explore on my own."
Although Jiang Yan felt a pang of heartache inside, he comforted the dejected little ghost on the surface with a calm expression.
Investment carries risks; we shall try again in the future.
However, on the eleventh day, matters suddenly took a turn.
The unknown creature that swallowed the second [Heaven-Stealing Ghost Mirror] began its cycle of digestion.
Then, it discharged a large amount of filth into a massive domain of sickness that shimmered with a silvery luster.
