Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 237 - 114: Li Yuan Gazes North, Mother and Daughter Meet in the Ghost Realm, Envoy Sent to Beijiang Prefecture
Swipe!
Li Yuan’s figure drifted and landed again beside Lady Yan. He glanced at the Shadow Blood already exhausted on the blade, frowning slightly.
Sss... Sss... Sss...
Droplets of blood once again squeezed out from the pores on the back of his hand, rolling onto the blade.
Li Yuan gazed calmly at the human-skinned ghost servant, his figure fluttering like a leaf in the wind, white gauze in the mist, and without a sound, the blade light had already fallen on a new charging human-skinned ghost servant.
Scorching blood followed the blade, slicing open the ghost servant.
Just at that moment, another human-skinned ghost servant pounced from behind Li Yuan, the Dragon Blade Spear humming as it slashed towards him.
Li Yuan didn’t even turn around; the Dragon Blade Spear in his hand suddenly stabbed backward in an impossible manner.
Swipe!
The spearhead pierced into the human-skinned ghost servant, penetrated through, and then flicked, sending the human-skinned ghost servant flying afar, engulfed by white female ghosts, as the blood on the spearhead dimmed.
Li Yuan charged again, kept killing... Shadow Blood kept flowing out from within him and kept drying up.
He didn’t even know how many human-skinned ghost servants he had killed, nor how much Shadow Blood he had expended. At this moment, he only felt dizzy.
Clearly, he had used too much blood.
He flashed back to Lady Yan’s side, large drops of cold sweat seeping from his head.
Lady Yan raised her hand, wanting to wipe his sweat but paused in midair, quietly watching this man panting like a wild beast, unable to touch him.
Li Yuan looked up, sweeping his gaze into the distance.
His onslaught was indeed effective.
Infusing the Shadow Blood into the opponent’s body and then slicing through was even more efficient than shooting Blood with a bow.
At this moment, he had slain quite a few human-skinned ghosts, helping the white-clothed female ghost gain the advantage.
The Black Market Ghost Realm, originally invaded, had already turned the tables and began invading the Rouge Shop Ghost Realm.
"Did I help you?" Li Yuan asked.
Lady Yan clapped her hands and said gently, "You did help."
This gesture reminded Li Yuan of when he first cultivated the ’Willow Return Technique.’ Lady Yan didn’t believe it but still tried hard to encourage him.
With the tacit understanding of an old married couple, he said silently, "Tell the truth."
Lady Yan lowered her gaze and said, "Husband, you must have used up a lot of your Shadow Blood."
Li Yuan nodded.
Lady Yan said, "Let’s put it this way: by the time your Shadow Blood recovers next time, the ghost servants you cut down with Shadow Blood today will also revive.
I can mobilize the ghost servants to maintain this outcome as much as possible, but eventually, it will revert to the original balance."
The two fell silent.
Li Yuan said, "Unless I can help you take down the Rouge Shop Ghost Realm once and for all."
"Husband, your visit today has already helped me stabilize things for several more months," Lady Yan said.
She looked at her man sitting on the dark rock, his sweat already dried, black hair fluttering like flames in the ghost realm’s ominous wind.
She wanted to hug Li Yuan from behind, but she... couldn’t yet.
Li Yuan suddenly asked, "Is Master Li’s body still there?"
Lady Yan replied, "It is.
His body was originally in the North City, but I brought it out, placed it in a coffin unearthed in the Black Market. Here, the Yin Qi keeps it dry but not entirely decayed."
Li Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "I’ll take it with me later."
Finished, he leaned back, lying on the cold ghost realm ground, gazing up at the starry sky, quickly recovering.
But this recovery only regained some strength. The Shadow Blood in his body was heavily depleted, and the Shadow Bone couldn’t produce more Shadow Blood in time.
Sixth Grade Ancestral Talisman Shadow Blood could kill ghost servants.
If he reached Fifth Grade, would he then have the potential to suppress new Ghost Realms like the Carpenter’s Shop?
One Fifth Grade might not suffice, but perhaps several Fifth Grades could?
He himself didn’t need many; he just needed to aid Sister Yan in breaking this balance at once, helping her conquer the Rouge Shop Ghost Realm.
"Fifth Grade... Fifth Grade..."
Li Yuan pondered.
To break through to Fifth Grade, one necessary step was to wait for the seed to sprout, blossom, and bear fruit.
Moreover, it undoubtedly required Sixth Grade meat.
But Sixth Grade meat could only be purchased with Blood Gold. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Blood Gold... Sixth Grade..."
The only person Li Yuan could think of was Yan Mu. As his strength restored, the white-clothed Lady Yan suddenly turned her head to him, saying, "Husband, you should leave now; my conscious time is nearly over."
Li Yuan responded, sat up, and looked to see a black coffin had already been moved beside him.
The lid was open, and inside lay Master Li’s waxy body, which still looked fairly intact.
Li Yuan closed the lid, hefted the coffin onto a small boat, and departed quickly under the cover of night.
...
He buried Master Li near Baihua Manor, beside Old Tang’s grave.
Then, before dawn, he dragged his weary body back to the house.
Inside, two children slept soundly.
He tiptoed to the other side, but rustling sounds came from within the room.
A few moments later, the door opened softly, and a graceful figure walked out, falling into Li Yuan’s arms.
The beautiful woman, still drowsy, was full of concern.
"Honey..."
"Sister Xue."
"Why did you come back so late?"
"I’m fine."
"You’re freezing cold, and your face is pale. How could you be fine?"
Li Yuan smiled, holding the landlady tightly, their cheeks brushed, skin touching, feeling each other’s warmth.
"Is it for Sister Yan?"
"Yes..." Li Yuan answered softly, then added, "She’s turned into a ghost."
The landlady was momentarily stunned.
Li Yuan felt her arms fiercely hugging him, suddenly realizing her misunderstanding, so he said, "She’s not the kind of ghost with malice and no reason... Although her body is a ghost, everything else is normal."
As expected, the astonishment was evident on the landlady’s charming face, her voice even tinged with surprise: "So... what’s Sister Yan like now?"
