Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 473 - 471: Three Kings Compete for the Throne
Various ideas surged through Mo Lin’s mind in an instant.
"What if I were the Thirteen-Colored Red Dust Immortal?" Mo Lin asked Lu Xiao.
"Even if you were the Thirteen-Colored Red Dust Immortal, you would have to defeat the Three Kings to become the Vice Hall Master."
Lu Xiao, not beating around the bush, said to Mo Lin again, "The entire Cultivation Hall is maintained by the Three Kings. If you can subdue them, you can become the Vice Hall Master."
"Alright, I got it." Mo Lin nodded and returned to his room.
As soon as he walked into the room, he smelled a faint fragrance.
He pushed the door open and saw a woman in a thin gauze dress standing right in front of him.
This woman was Min Xiaoqian, whom Mo Lin had met earlier that morning.
"I’ve submitted to you, please spare my son’s life." Min Xiaoqian pleaded gently, collapsing in front of Mo Lin.
Mo Lin subconsciously pushed Min Xiaoqian away.
It wasn’t that Mo Lin was fussy, he simply didn’t like it, that’s all.
Min Xiaoqian was dumbfounded by Mo Lin’s actions.
"Answer only what I ask you." Mo Lin calmly said to Min Xiaoqian.
"Is there a powerful ghost at Black Stone Mountain named Mo Haiyue?" Mo Lin questioned Min Xiaoqian.
"Recently, a powerful ghost did appear, but I don’t know its name." Min Xiaoqian answered Mo Lin honestly.
Mo Lin had already guessed a rough idea in his heart.
If he wasn’t mistaken, that ghost was the ghost soul of Mo Lin’s second sister.
"Where is that ghost?" Mo Lin pursued further.
"I don’t know." Min Xiaoqian shook her head, "Only the Three Kings know these things, I don’t know.
It was the Three Kings who captured the ghost initially."
"Tell me about alchemy."
"Alchemy is divided into two kinds. Using humans for alchemy is what Lu Xiao showed you earlier, the Human Pill.
It can increase one’s power and lifespan.
The second kind uses Evil Spirits to refine Spirit Pills, increasing cultivation speed.
As for those ordinary people consume, those are poison pills."
"Evil Spirits can also be used for alchemy?" Mo Lin asked Min Xiaoqian in astonishment.
"Yes, Evil Spirits can refine pills, and the pills they produce are more potent.
However, Evil Spirits are hard to capture and they are very powerful."
"Evil Spirits for alchemy?" Mo Lin’s mind was filled with this term.
Knowing that there are many Evil Spirits in Hongzhou, couldn’t they all be captured for alchemy?
Mo Lin shuddered violently, feeling like he had discovered something extraordinary.
If he took over the Cultivation Hall, he could have these people work honestly and help him with alchemy using Evil Spirits.
Just thinking about it, Mo Lin could hardly conceal his inner excitement.
"Oh ho ho ho...." Mo Lin sat on the bed, unable to suppress his laughter.
He glanced at Min Xiaoqian and said, "Alright, I understand."
Then Mo Lin lay down on the bed to rest.
Min Xiaoqian was at a loss, unsure where to place her hands and feet.
She initially thought Mo Lin was the type who would lust after her body.
However, it seemed now that he wasn’t.
"If you want to leave, just go. If you don’t, just find a place to rest." Mo Lin suddenly thought of something and asked Min Xiaoqian, "Is there any shortcut for me to become the Vice Hall Master of the Cultivation Hall?"
Only by becoming the Vice Hall Master could his idea of using Evil Spirits for alchemy be realized.
"Tomorrow, the Three Kings will compete for the Vice Hall Master position in the main hall. If you have the strength, you can also suppress the Three Kings. Then, you can ascend to the Vice Hall Master position." Min Xiaoqian slowly said to Mo Lin.
"Good plan." Mo Lin nodded, agreeing with Min Xiaoqian’s suggestion.
Min Xiaoqian opened her mouth, feeling confused, thinking Mo Lin might really plan to suppress the Three Kings during their competition tomorrow to seize the Vice Hall Master position?
But judging by Mo Lin’s attitude, he seemed serious.
Mo Lin lay down and rested.
As for whether Min Xiaoqian slept or not, and how well she slept, Mo Lin didn’t know and it didn’t concern him.
"Mo Lin, come to the main hall with me." Outside the door, Lu Xiao called out to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin then went out the door.
"Why are you so happy?"
Lu Xiao looked at Mo Lin strangely and said, "Looks like you slept very well last night."
"Just thought of some good things, so I’m in a good mood." Mo Lin slowly answered.
Thinking about how Evil Spirits could be turned into pills, Mo Lin’s mood improved greatly.
"If you follow the Evil King, women like Min Xiaoqian will be plentiful for you." Lu Xiao said, patting his chest.
The two of them were talking about completely unrelated topics.
Afterward, Mo Lin followed behind Lu Xiao to the main hall.
Upon entering the main hall, he felt a sense of oppression.
The people in the main hall were divided into three groups.
The people of the Three Kings had all arrived.
Mo Lin followed behind Lu Xiao to the group of the Evil King.
"Today is the Three Kings competition, there might be deaths later. Our people from the Evil King have black cloth strips tied to their arms. When you strike later, make sure not to kill the wrong person." Lu Xiao explained to Mo Lin while tying a black cloth strip to his wrist.
Mo Lin glanced at the distance; the other two groups had red and white cloth strips tied to their arms respectively.
"Be careful during the fight. If your black cloth strip falls off, no one will know which side you’re on, and then all three sides will attack you."
Saying this, Lu Xiao rolled up his sleeve, revealing a noticeable scar, "This is a bloody lesson."
The last time there was a Three Kings competition, the black cloth strip on his arm accidentally fell off, and he was besieged by people from all three sides, almost dying.
After learning this lesson, Lu Xiao usually ties two black cloth strips on his arm.
"Evil King, stop competing with me, how about letting me have the Vice Hall Master position?"
A white-haired man stepped forward and said slowly, "As long as I’m the Vice Hall Master, I promise not to trouble you.
And I’ll share the pills equally with you."
"Screw you." The Evil King swore directly, "The Vice Hall Master position is meant for me."
"I’m also part of the Cultivation Hall, so I can also compete for the Vice Hall Master position." The Ming King stepped forward and spoke slowly.
"Enough, stop wasting words. Whoever wants to be the Vice Hall Master, prove it with strength." King Jing scolded.
The Evil King and Ming King both agreed with this statement.
The three then prepared to make their moves.
The people behind them were also ready for battle.
This time, the Three Kings struggle must have a result.
This battle would definitely result in many deaths.
"Wait.. don’t rush into fighting." A sudden voice interrupted.
The tense air instantly halted.
Everyone’s gaze focused on Mo Lin.
"What the hell, brother, what are you doing?" Lu Xiao was so frightened his scalp went numb; he never expected Mo Lin to dare speak up loudly in such a setting.
"Evil King, how do you manage your people? Your subordinates have no discipline at all." Ming King mocked the Evil King disdainfully.
"Evil King, you’re really old, can’t even control your own people." King Jing chimed in supportively.
The Evil King’s face turned livid, Mo Lin’s rashness made him lose face completely.
