Gui Hu didn’t read the letter, but he could tell its content just by looking at Xin Lin’s face.
"I need two ghost soldiers."
Xin Lin thought it over and finally spoke up.
She had thought that Pride Corpse would once again extort sothing like Fu Xi’s Energy, but to her surprise, Gui Hu waved his hand, and two ghost soldiers presented themselves in front of Xin Lin.
"Aren’t you going to ask what I’m going to use them for?"
Xin Lin was very puzzled, as Gui Hu was being unexpectedly generous this ti.
These few Yin Sha had stayed in the Chu Mansion for several years. Different from ordinary ghosts, they could be exposed to sunlight, and now that they had been cleansed of Ghost Energy by Monk Jun, they were indistinguishable from ordinary people—even so highly skilled Cultivators wouldn’t be able to detect them.
Unless, of course, they encountered soone of the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship’s caliber.
However, Monk Jun said the Taichang had gone traveling and was not expected to return to Purple Cloud City for a while, let alone enter the palace.
"Entering the palace."
If it were a little hen entering the palace, she could easily protect herself.
But it was Noble Lady Shi and her son going into the palace—two typical little white rabbits, akin to lambs walking into a tiger’s den.
"How co you’re so kind-hearted? Don’t you need any Fu Xi’s Energy?"
Xin Lin was still full of disbelief. A Pride Corpse being so amicable, was it still really a Pride Corpse?
"Provide three servings of Spiritual Food a month, and I’ll provide two ghost soldiers."
Gui Hu didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his demand.
Gui Hu had previously tasted Xin Lin’s Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly; its flavor was quite good.
Gui Hu had a Corpse King Body and a peculiar constitution; besides alcoholic drinks, he couldn’t digest or absorb normal human food, so he didn’t care much for eating.
But the Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly was different. After consuming it, Gui Hu felt that the cold ghostly energy within his body weakened slightly, slowly improving his constitution.
Though the effect was not significant, it was nonetheless effective.
Of course, Gui Hu wouldn’t tell Xin Lin that this was a sche to kill two birds with one stone.
Once the ghost soldiers entered the palace, they could co into contact with many Imperial Family items, among which many were likely to be hiding the Emperor’s Fortune.
Upon hearing this, the Overlord Egg at Gui Hu’s feet imdiately clamored.
(Mommy, I want so too, eat eat eat, drink drink drink, I’m still growing, need to eat at at)
The Overlord Egg had nearly been tortured to death at Qin Mountain before; it was only saved by a piece of Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly from Mommy.
That piece of at, it was just too delicious!
Three servings of Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly would cost 30 Heaven-defying Value. If the Overlord Egg was included, the cost would range from 30 to 50 Heaven-defying Value.
Xin Lin did so ntal calculations.
It seed she had to find a way to increase her Heaven-defying Value.
The question was how to quickly accumulate Heaven-defying Value.
Relying on daily events to gain Heaven-defying Value was far too slow, and she couldn’t afford it. Xin Lin was even cautious about using the Dan Wood Furnace once, not to ntion exchanging money for Heaven-defying Value—it was a massive pitfall.
Xin Lin thought to herself.
"Heavenly Destiny Book, 10 Heaven-defying Value, tell how can I earn Heaven-defying Value faster and in greater amounts?"
Xin Lin could only wince as she asked the question.
Although she had owned the Heavenly Destiny Book for a few months, Xin Lin’s understanding and usage of the Life Book were still at a basic level.
Especially after she discovered that the Life Book had hidden features like random tasks waiting to be unlocked.
"The Life Book suggests that Heaven-defying Value can be acquired through Heaven-defying events, such as defeating enemies, infuriating opponents, trading, random treasure boxes, etc. For example, the Spiritual Food prepared by the life master can be sold: depending on the custors’ ratings and the star level of the Spiritual Food, you can obtain varying amounts of Heaven-defying Value."
After quickly deducting 10 Heaven-defying Value from Xin Lin, the Life Book provided the answer.
