Chapter 150: Troubled Matter (1/2)

”Miss Qin, I had no choice but to do this to you. Please forgive me for the offense.”

Jiang Li symbolically bowed to the other party before waving his hand to separate the clay statue again.

After coming out of the cracked clay statue, the injuries that had been caused by the Anti-Demon Golden Skin had basically recovered. She returned to her cold and charming appearance.

Qin Shuman no longer had the determination she showed when she rejected Jiang Li. She bowed towards Jiang Li, her face revealing a complicated expression of compromise.

She was originally a rich girl and had grown up in a secluded courtyard. Unfortunately, she had loved to read books about love and paintings since she was young and had been completely poisoned by the ”noble love” that was fabricated by a poor scholar.

In the end, she was tricked by a fake scholar and ran off with great expectations. She was sold to Seven Roads Town and became that pitiful Deity of Blessing.

She could believe anything except the words of men. Therefore, when he had asked her to join him, Qin Shuman had rejected without hesitation.

Now, she had been planted by Jiang Li's seed and had stayed in the Yin Burial Coffin for such a long time. Everything that she saw in her eyes made her unable to think of any possibility of escape.

From the time she was killed until she was captured by Jiang Li, she had never left Seven Roads Town and had never seen many cultivators. She did not know much about the situation in the cultivation world.

In the beginning, she claimed to be the king of this region and thought that she was already very formidable. Who would have thought that calamity would suddenly descend from nowhere and she would encounter Jiang Li?

He had such overwhelming strength and power, and this space had such a dense amount of yin qi that it made her infatuated.

After two weeks here, she had no idea what to do when she got out. She could not put up any resistance anymore.

Right now, Qin Shuman was thinking that as long as she did not continue to be that cursed Deity of Blessing, she could accept anything else.

”Since things have come to this, I have no other request. I only hope that young master will not let me down in the future.”

Through the seed in the other party's body, Jiang Li did not sense any obvious hostility, which surprised him a little. He had prepared several excuses, but they were all useless now.

”Don't worry, I don't have a habit of lying. What I said that time still holds true. These guys above are all yours to manage.”

”Really… really?”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, Qin Shuman excitedly covered her mouth. Her heart, which had stopped beating for nearly a hundred years, seemed to tremble at this moment.

Looking at the countless ghosts in the sky, this happiness came too suddenly.

In the past, she only had slightly more than 3,000 subordinates.

This was equivalent to going from a village head to a county head. It was unbelievable.

”Come with me. I'll introduce you.”

”There's a batch of craftsmen in your Ghost Market, right? These are all basic yin attribute materials. I need you to expand your manpower and make them into yin attribute weapons.”

Of the three thousand ghost soldiers in this ghost city, more than half were equipped with standard weapons. Although they were far inferior to artifacts, they were definitely several times stronger than mortal sabers.

”Then, you can choose and arm the elite ghost soldier army with these yin attribute items. The number can be between 50,000 and 100,000.”

Jiang Li pointed at a large pile of ore materials that he had bought from the Foreign Affairs Hall.

”The other ghosts need to be armed as soon as possible. These are the two methods to create Ghost Weapon Talismans and Ghost Armor Talismans respectively. Before you learn them, you can use these two molds to make a copy first.”

He handed over two books and two long wooden boxes.

The two manuals were copied from the black talisman booklet of that Foundation Establishment cultivator. They were not of a high grade, but they were still practical and easy to learn.

On the other hand, the two long wooden boxes were talisman paper printouts personally drawn by Jiang Li.

This was also the reason why talisman papers in the cultivation world were so cheap. By using this kind of grinding tool to make a copy, as long as there was enough spiritual qi, it would be produced by assembly lines.

Jiang Li used the Spirit Surging Technique on both of the molds. With this, he did not even need to personally infuse spiritual qi into them. Even mortals could use them.

Although the talisman paper that was copied from tools was definitely not as good as being personally drawn by him, with Jiang Li's level of drawing, the patterns on these two sets of molds were naturally drawn in one stroke. The talisman paper that was copied from this was also stronger than ordinary beginner products.

”The Yellow Grain Paper and Black Corpse Ink have been prepared. You can use the yin qi and spiritual qi in this space as you wish. This is only a basic black talisman. After you finish copying it, you can use a ghost weapon to nurture it. It's very easy to get started, so I'll temporarily set the quantity to one million.”

Jiang Li casually set a small goal.

”One million…”

The Ghost City Lord, Qin Shuman, could not help but cry out. In the mortal world, where education was not widespread, very few people had any concept of what a million was.

Although Qin Shuman was once a well-educated young lady, after so many years, she had already forgotten many things.

Hmm… how many zeros were there?

She only knew that it was a very, very large number.

”Also, I've brought back all of your ghost market ghosts. You need to start reconstruction and expansion. Also, you can't engage in small-scale fights like before. You need to put in more effort to train them.”

”Follow this list I gave you and let them familiarize themselves with the prices. I'll be able to use them later.”

For free labor like this, the more there were, the better.

One had to know that as long as there were 100,000 free laborers, sending them to work at an electronics factory for a month would generate at least 80 million dollars in value.

The fellows flying above Jiang Li were already over 400,000 in number, and they were still increasing. How could he easily give up on their remaining value?

”If there's anything else you need after this, you can tell me. I'll try my best to satisfy you. Also, this is a gift from me.”

Jiang Li handed her another jade slip. It was a cultivation method, the 'Illusory Art Life Record', that the sword cultivator clone had secretly learned from the various legacies of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.

Qin Shuman's talent in illusions was extremely shocking. With her own strength, she could create a bustling town that could pass off as the real thing. Furthermore, it was under the circumstances that she did not rely on any array formations or artifacts.

Later on, Jiang Li specially learned that such a level of illusion technique was quite extraordinary.

As a rogue cultivator, this female ghost did what most Foundation Establishment cultivators could not.

Since the other party was already his subordinate, Jiang Li was naturally willing to nurture and support her.

Qin Shuman clearly did not know what the jade slip was. Under Jiang Li's guidance, she read the contents of the jade slip with a curious expression.

After comprehending the mysterious spell technique that surged into her mind, the female ghost's expression gradually filled with shock again.
