Burial God Wasteland, imnse and fluctuating.
For the entire Great Ruins Realm, the Burial God Wasteland was a forbidden land.
Even the "Wilderness" in Eastern Wilderness originally referred to this vast expanse that had once buried divine spirits.
At this mont.
Deep in the Great Wilderness, within a certain canyon.
A young girl in a white dress was hurrying over.
Flitting around her were several wondrous butterflies.
"My Transmission Crystal... I rember burying it in this canyon."
This girl was Yun Xi.
Three years ago, in order to escape a marriage arranged by her family, she fled with the covert support of her grandfather, Yun Qianshan.
She even hid in the Burial God Wasteland.
Before unknowingly entering that Yin Realm, she had placed her Transmission Crystal here.
Now, three years had passed.
"Hehe, I hope Grandfather doesn’t jump out of his skin when he gets my ssage? He must be so happy!"
As Yun Xi thought this, she continued to walk along the stream in the canyon.
The stream occasionally splashed up water, cold and penetrating to the bone, so much so that even cultivators would find it chilly.
This stream flowed out from beneath a cliff up ahead.
At the outlet of the stream, there was a cave. She went to the side of the cave, moved a stone aside, and a crystal was revealed.
It was the very Crystal she had buried back then.
"Great, I found it."
She reached out and picked up the Crystal.
But, at that mont.
From the cave where the stream flowed, a bone-chilling, cold Yin wind suddenly swept through.
Layers of ghost fog spread out, almost enveloping her!
At this mont, Yun Xi seed to hear the whispers of evil ghosts.
"Ah... ghosts!"
Yun Xi’s face drained of color!
But, just at that mont, the butterflies beside her spread their wings and danced, their wings shimring with light, protecting her so that the ghost fog couldn’t corrode even a bit!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness... the Great Demon King’s butterflies really work."
She patted her heaving chest and took a deep breath of relief. Looking at the ghost fog, she said angrily:
"Where did you co from, daring to scare ... I, I have backup!"
She was still afraid of ghosts.
But thinking of the Great Demon King, she felt emboldened.
The presence within the ghost fog seed very unwilling, but it just couldn’t encroach upon Yun Xi.
"I... I will bestow upon you a secret technique, do you want it? A technique that can turn you into a god..."
Suddenly, a magnetic voice rose from within the ghost fog.
Yun Xi blinked her big eyes and said:
"Really?"
The presence in the ghost fog replied:
"Of course... but, I hope you can do sothing for ..."
"Take this object out for , just carry it out of this vast wilderness, and you will obtain the secret technique inside..."
Within the ghost fog, a ghastly pale, pitch-black ghost hand actually stretched out.
In the hand was a tooth!
It appeared lustrous and impeccable, as if carved from jade.
"Is this the legendary Ghost Tooth?"
Yun Xi was surprised.
"...Take it out for , I can’t hold on much longer... Please!"
At that mont, the ghost fog began to thin.
Then, the ghost hand disappeared, and the ghostly entity vanished in an instant.
Only a Ghost Tooth was left behind!
Yun Xi looked at the cave and thought things over. She understood.
"The ghost is sealed in this cave? Can’t co out... So it wants to pass on the Ghost Tooth?"
Her big eyes shifted as she said:
"Hmph, ghostly thing, it’s impossible to fool . I’m going to find the Demon King and have him deal with you!"
Having said that, she grabbed the Ghost Tooth and imdiately left the place.
After leaving the canyon, she took out the Transmission Crystal, feeling a little nervous, but still sent out a ssage.
"Grandfather... I’ve co back."
Then she put away the Crystal and sped away.
It was a long ti before she finally erged from the Depths of the Great Wilderness and arrived in front of a small mountain village.
She stepped into the village.
Wu’er Xianting finally appeared before her eyes, she knocked on the door and said:
"Li Fan, I’m back!"
From inside the courtyard, Li Fan’s voice ca: "Co in."
Yun Xi pushed the door open and entered, finding everything in the small courtyard as usual.
"Did the Great Demon King teach Nan Feng and the others sothing new?"
She was a bit curious, sensing the changes in Nan Feng, Zi Ling, and the rest.
Nan Feng, Zi Ling, and the others were already close to making a breakthrough to the Condensed Spirit Realm.
She had only been away for a few days...
They were progressing so fast.
Thinking about this, she felt a bit aggrieved, whimpering, "Life as a Fate Slave is truly bitter. The Great Demon King doesn’t care enough about ..."
anwhile, Li Fan, having nothing better to do, was at that mont drinking tea and stroking a cat. Seeing Yun Xi, he smiled and said,
"Have you eaten?"
Yun Xi replied,
"No!"
Li Fan was taken aback, wondering why this little girl seed a bit upset?
"Gong Ya, go to the kitchen and bring out so pastries."
Li Fan ordered.
However, Yun Xi shook her head and said, "I don’t want any."
Li Fan thought for a mont and then said, "I’ll make it."
Yun Xi’s eyes lit up imperceptibly and she said, "Okay then... I want sothing sweet."
Li Fan: "..."
Gong Ya imdiately brought out the baked goods, which were actually breads that Li Fan had baked when he had nothing else to do. He had thought her how to make them a few days before at Gong Ya’s request, since she had been very interested in these "buns" ntioned in a book. There were still so leftovers.
The bread turned out surprisingly well, crispy golden and soft. While eating the bread and sipping soy milk, Yun Xi imdiately felt extrely happy, forgetting the troubles she had before.
"It’s so delicious!"
She praised it and after finishing, wiped her hands and said,
"I was in a canyon and encountered danger. I almost got caught by a ghost..."
As she spoke, she took out the Ghost Tooth and said,
"Great Demon King, look, this is a Ghost Tooth!"
Li Fan glanced at the tooth and said with puzzlent,
"What did you call ?"
Yun Xi suddenly felt nervous; she had let the nickna slip out in her happiness!
She quickly said, "I... I didn’t do it on purpose..."
Li Fan was a bit baffled, wondering if all these young girls were this quirky. Their thought processes were strange.
Did they like to give others nicknas? The key thing was, how could he wear the nickna Great Demon King? It didn’t match his handsoness!
But he didn’t think much of it and said,
"Hmm... call whatever you like."
With that, he picked up the tooth.
"A Ghost Tooth? There’s really such a thing?"
He was sowhat surprised.
Once upon a ti, under the System’s tornt, he had learned to draw ghostly talismans. In the books about ghostly talismans, Ghost Teeth were ntioned, supposedly only grown by Fierce Ghosts!
Such ghosts were generally very terrifying!
However, Li Fan took such matters with a grain of salt, not paying much heed.
After all, in a world where cultivators reigned supre, Li Fan thought that even ghosts were probably quite miserable, right?
What couldn’t cultivators do, including dealing with ghosts?
Moreover, when he had taken Lin Jiu Zheng as his disciple, he had interacted with Yin Ghosts and was no longer so unfamiliar with ghosts.
He felt it was quite normal.
"Master, this... this thing is really valuable!"
Lin Jiu Zheng had also co over, his eyes shining with understanding of the value of a Ghost Tooth.
The Ghost Tooth was an extrely rare resource!
Li Fan, however, just smiled and said,
"Hmm, it could be worn as a pendant; I believe it would be quite cool in the sumr, a good item for beating the heat."
That seed to be how it was ntioned in the books.
Lin Jiu Zheng looked complex after hearing this.
Wear it as a pendant? For cooling off?
But that was a Ghost Tooth!
However, he said nothing, fully aware that to his master, even the most valuable objects were equivalent to everyday items; his master appraised treasures as if they were mundane goods.
Yun Xi, seeing the Great Demon King praise the Ghost Tooth, beca sowhat happy and said,
"Great Demon King, I know where that ghost is. We could go and pull out all its teeth!"
Li Fan listened but felt it was a bit strange.
Wouldn’t doing so be a bit like... bullying a ghost?
At that mont, there was a knock at the courtyard door.
"Mu Wanqing requests to see Senior Li!"
Mu Wanqing’s voice ca through.
