Chapter 1242 - 1239: Shanhai Boundary Ghost Envoys

Exiting the Shanhai Platform, Chu Hao opened his eyes and got up to leave.

The assessor said nothing, only watched Chu Hao leave the examination room with a shocked gaze.

"He's truly a freak," the assessor sighed.

Chu Hao didn't know that his examination record was collected by the groups of the Nine Hall Gates, and some Vice Hall Masters were also paying attention.

"Zhang Han, huh? A talent worth nurturing," said the Vice Hall Master of Flame Dragon Hall.

"Vice Hall Master, should we extend an invitation to him?" asked a member of Flame Dragon Hall.

"Such genius appears only after numerous assessments; I'm sure all the major halls are watching. Let's not rush to recruit him; it'll only prompt them to devise countermeasures."

...

After finishing the assessment, Chu Hao returned to the dormitory and logged into the Shanhai Platform to purchase materials on a large scale.

Whether it's a complete Dark Gold Curse Body or a complete Qiankun Curse Body, the materials required were far more expensive than imagined, seven or eight times more expensive.

However, Chu Hao was wealthy enough to buy all the materials needed for the Dark Gold Curse Body and the Qiankun Curse Body at once.

"How long will the delivery take? I urgently need them," Chu Hao asked.

The shop owner inside the hall said, "Considering your bulk purchase, we'll ship it express. It won't take longer than a week."

"Alright, hurry up with the shipment."

A batch of materials cost him 130 billion.

Exiting the Shanhai Platform, Chu Hao began studying the Qiankun Curse Body.

For the complete Qiankun Curse Body, the System assisted with alchemy, costing him a million Pretentiousness Points, leaving him with not much Pretentiousness Points.

Chu Hao cursed, "Damn System, I pay for it all myself and still use so many Pretentiousness Points."

System: "If you don't want to spend, brew it yourself."

With one sentence, the System left Chu Hao speechless.

Light radiated from his body, as if sublimating, the terrifying medicinal power washed through his body, nourishing him. His originally fair skin became healthy wheat-colored and smooth like a woman's.

This time, Chu Hao felt the greatest change in his bones, emitting a sound like clashing stones, which would definitely be shocking to anyone who heard.

The System automatically upgraded, lasting about three days before Chu Hao opened his eyes.

The complete Qiankun Curse Body had finally succeeded.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master of old, who shattered the White Demon, also had a complete Qiankun Curse Body.

In terms of constitution, the Qiankun Curse Body is stronger than the Dark Gold Curse Body, but in terms of recuperation speed, the Dark Gold Curse Body has no equal.

Currently, each time the Curse Body is upgraded, the Yin-Yang Force greatly improves, enhancing his power.

No one has four Curse Bodies on one person.

While others use gasoline as fuel, Chu Hao uses aviation fuel, incredibly steady.

The King of Pretentiousness: Chu Hao

Strength: Yin-Yang Diviner (Intermediate Level)

Level: 6

Experience Points: 570 million/700 million

Pretentiousness Points: 450,000 Pretentiousness Points

Merit Points: 8 million

Treasure Chest: Fei Diamond-grade Treasure Chest*1

Not many Pretentiousness Points remain, with a total of 1.25 million Merit Points.

Chu Hao said, "Open the Fei Diamond-grade Treasure Chest."

"Ding... Obtained Yu Ling Tree Cultivation Liquid."

Item: Yu Ling Tree Cultivation Liquid

Rarity: ★★★★★★★★ (Eight Stars)

Effect: Highly pure cultivation liquid, works with just one drop, a bottle contains one hundred drops.

This is quite expensive in the System shop, 500,000 Pretentiousness Points per bottle.

"Time to level up," Chu Hao muttered.

Just 130 million Experience Points short of leveling up, at which point he could unlock the garden feature and plant the Yu Ling Tree.

Since coming to the Sacred Land, he rarely encountered System missions; perhaps the Sacred Land didn't have any ghosts to kill.

Thus! He prepared to embark on student missions, to earn credits.

Chu Hao accepted ten missions in one go, leaving the task hall amidst the astonished expression of the receptionist.

Late at night.

In the Labyrinth Garden of the Holy City, many couples were there, discussing love, hiding in secluded corners, embracing and kissing.

Chu Hao leaned on a tree branch, chewing on a grass blade, enjoying the view, as a couple was right below the tree.

But after watching for a while, Chu Hao yawned, thinking, "They've been kissing for half an hour, can't they move on to the next step?"

This couple probably didn't know someone was watching them from the tree branch.

It struck one; did no ghosts appear according to the intel, which said they would appear at the Labyrinth Garden in places with couples late at night?

Just then, a strange haunting aura appeared in the forward maze garden, prompting Chu Hao to sit up.

Have they appeared?

He vanished from the tree branch, while the couple below remained unaware, continuing to embrace and kiss.

Chu Hao hid in the shadows, observing a pair of Mandarin Duck Ghosts appearing, seemingly in panic.

They were the target this time.

Just as Chu Hao spotted the Mandarin Duck Ghosts, a chill emerged from the ground, as he saw a short and fat ghost emerge, its features grotesque, armored at the chest with "officiant" written on it.

Chu Hao could feel the haunting familiarity from the Fierce Ghost.

Netherworld Ghost Envoy.

This was Chu Hao's first time seeing a Shanhai Boundary Netherworld Ghost Envoy.

The Mandarin Duck Ghosts saw the Ghost Envoy arrive, the male ghost shouted, "Little Cui, you go first."

"No, we leave together, die together." said the ghost named Little Cui.

Turns out, they were a pair of runaway Mandarin Duck Ghosts, targeted by the Ghost Envoy.

The short and fat Ghost Envoy sneered, "Not one of you will escape, follow me to the Underworld."

The short and fat ghost pulled out an Iron Hammer, fiercely swinging it for an attack.

The Mandarin Duck Ghosts dodged quickly, but to no avail as the Iron Hammer split and delivered a heavy blow.

"Ah!"

The ghost cried out, the Ghost Envoy's weapon was lethal to ghosts, rendering them paralyzed and motionless.

Done for.

The short and fat Ghost Envoy stepped forward, sneered, "You possess quite a bit of Soul Force; I'll absorb you first and then take you back as mission clearance."

The Mandarin Duck Ghosts felt even more desperate.

Chu Hao decided it was time to act, "Cough, cough! That's not good, after all, you are a Ghost Envoy."

The grotesque short and fat Ghost Envoy jumped with surprise, "Who goes there?"

"Ding... Task triggered, a true Taoist Master doesn't necessarily have to kill ghosts, save a pair of Mandarin Duck Ghosts for 20 million Experience Points."

"Ding... Task completion rewarded with 1 million Merit Points."

Finally a mission, albeit a small one, but every little bit counts.

Chu Hao emerged from the darkness, chewing a grass stem.

The short and fat Ghost Envoy roared, "Yin-Yang Practitioner! Do you dare to meddle?"

Chu Hao crossed his arms, laughing, "I'm here to complete a mission, and want to send these two Mandarin Duck Ghosts to the Fountain of Spring in the Labyrinth Garden."

Mandarin Duck Ghost's Little Cui exclaimed joyfully, "Sir, you're finally here, I issued this mission."

Chu Hao was stunned, "You issued it?"

How curious that the Sacred Land accepts ghost-issued missions.

Little Cui's face was pale, "I entrusted someone to publish the mission, please help us, my husband and I have never harmed anyone, our presence here helps reconcile human marriages."

Chu Hao stroked his chin, even the Holy City has such ghosts?

However, Little Cui was right; Chu Hao didn't sense any Evil Qi from them.
