"The Ancient Three Coins, the moment to witness a miracle is about to arrive."

At this moment, Su Ran’s heart was racing with excitement. After all the hustle and bustle, it was finally time to reap the rewards!

Clutching three unremarkable ancient coins in his hand, Su Ran felt his arms trembling slightly. These were the key items for curing his illness, heavy with hope and his strong will to live. Whether he would recover or not all depended on this attempt!

"O prophecy of magic, if not now, then when?!"

With a sudden motion, Su Ran stacked the three ancient coins on top of each other and lifted them high above his head, yelling out loud, hoping for a heart-stopping transformation to occur.

Remembering the past, when the Dragon Balls were gathered and a Divine Dragon was summoned, the spectacle was simply explosive!

Now that he had collected the Ancient Three Coins, the scene had to be at least somewhat comparable, right?

However.

A minute passed, and Su Ran had to accept that the system ignored him.

Above his domain, the sky was still overcast with dense clouds, with no change at all. There wasn’t even a whisper of wind, let alone the emergence of a Divine Dragon.

Uh.

Only then, did Su Ran feel the awkwardness. To have such a treasure in hand and not know how to use it...

Having no other choice, he decided to seek advice from the know-it-all of the domain, the cunning merchant Yin Si. He prepared himself to be fleeced, because even if Yin Si were sly, he was surely more civilized than the Ghost Clan’s blacksmith Old Ghost, right?

With no time to delay further, Su Ran donned his Illusion Demon black robe. As for the Ornamental Items, he was too lazy to bring them; after all, everyone knew each other well, and continuing to hide seemed rather pointless.

Once everything was ready, Su Ran first checked the Heaven and Earth Bank. He didn’t spot the shadow of Yin Si’s coffin, indicating that the sly merchant had again skipped work to slack off.

But what could he do? With not even a single customer in his domain, these buildings had simply become decorations. Whether the merchant was in the bank or not didn’t really matter.

Arriving at the merchant’s residence, Su Ran immediately spotted the coffin on the bed, a sight that grabbed one’s attention.

Every time he saw this scene, Su Ran couldn’t help but want to mock it. He really wanted to seriously ask Yin Si whether lying in a coffin allowed him to appreciate the comfort of a bed.

This kind of redundant act, putting on pants just to fart, seemed to be exclusive to the sly merchant.

Better to just dig a hole and bury it; warm in winter, cool in summer, what a good deal!

But Su Ran had long forgotten that it was he who had dug the merchant out of his grave many times. If there was anyone to blame, it was himself...

Without the time for niceties, Su Ran pushed the door open and approached the coffin. He gently knocked on the lid a few times and called out. Then, he waited for the moment of the undead rising from the coffin.

However.

The coffin was completely motionless, which left Su Ran somewhat stunned.

Uh?

The plot seemed to be developing rather oddly. Usually, no matter when he knocked on the coffin, the merchant would always respond. What was happening today?

Was he sleeping too soundly, or deliberately giving him the cold shoulder?

Or had this NPC reached its end and passed away?

Nevertheless.

Regardless of the possibility, nothing could deter Su Ran’s determination to open the coffin. He steadied himself, placed his skeletal claw on the edge of the coffin, and was about to forcefully flip it open when a terrifying scene unfolded.

Suddenly, a chilly gust of wind blew over the back of Su Ran’s head, and a sinister voice echoed in his ears, "Little skeleton, are you looking for me?"

The unexpected voice made Su Ran’s scalp explode instantly, raising bumps all over his bone membrane. Fortunately, this character, Su Ran, didn’t have a heart, or else would he not have been scared to the point of it bouncing out of his mouth?

"Huff."

It took a while, but Su Ran finally came back to his senses. His pale skull gradually returned to its normal bone color before he turned around to look at Yin Si’s familiar face, saying with irritation, "Lord Yin Si, why are you not resting in your coffin instead of hiding behind me to scare people? If I were scared to death, I’d have to find you for an explanation!"

"Hey, little skeleton, you come to my place, don’t even knock on the door, and even think about lifting my covers, and you still talk about reason?"

The merchant Yin Si looked at Su Ran with a grin, the Soul Fire in his eye sockets giving off a dangerous signal. Su Ran’s unilateral decision this time seemed to have displeased Yin Si.

Covers?

Su Ran glanced at the coffin behind him, feeling too powerless to comment on the analogy, which was indeed quite apt...

"Lord Yin Si, it was urgent, I needed your help for an important matter, don’t take it the wrong way," Su Ran said, flashing a smile and quickly moving past the topic to state his purpose for coming. "Lord, do you know how to repair an artifact when it’s damaged?"

"Hmm? Artifact?"

Yin Si absent-mindedly looked at Su Ran’s hip, saw it was covered securely by the black robe, and then gave up on trying to find out more, countering with, "Little skeleton, what kind of artifact have you come upon this time?"

"It’s a token, please have a look."

Without rushing to ask about the Ancient Three Coins, Su Ran passed the favored token to the merchant. If this token could be repaired, it would certainly be a significant boost in the martial arts competition in ten days!

"This is... a Divine Beast Token?!"

Upon seeing the design of the token, the robed Yin Si gasped in disbelief, re-examining it before accepting the shocking truth.

"Little skeleton, I have to admire your luck in treasure hunting, finding even the treasures of the Ghost Clan, truly impressive."

Yin Si indeed had extraordinary knowledge, even recognizing the origin of the Divine Beast Token, which gave Su Ran a lot of confidence in repairing the token. But before Su Ran could say anything, Yin Si shook his skull and chuckled, "For such a precious artifact to be ruined to this extent by you, it’s quite the feat indeed."

"Lord, is there a way to repair it?"

Su Ran was filled with excitement, and without waiting for Yin Si to bring up the price, he immediately pulled out ten Underworld Coins, generously handing them over. In Su Ran’s view, since the system had given him the Underworld Coins anyway, he wouldn’t feel bad even if he wasted them.

"Skeleton Lord sure is rich and generous, quite open-handed!"

Seeing the Underworld Coins, Yin Si’s eyes lit up. After taking the bribe, he began to give Su Ran some much-needed guidance. "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be the one to untie it. Little skeleton, this artifact is a product of the Ghost Clan, so it must be taken to the Ghost Realm for repair. Artifacts have a spirit, possessing a self-healing ability. You just need to feed it Spirit Energy, and it will repair itself; the more Spirit Energy you feed, the shorter the time needed for repair. Remember this."

"Spirit Energy? What is that?"

Su Ran quickly asked, voicing the doubt in his mind. Having been in the Ghost Realm for so long, he had never encountered this special kind of energy, which made him wonder how to look for it.

"When a member of the Ghost Clan dies, they turn into a wisp of remnant soul, and it takes ten wisps to form a thread of Spirit Energy."

Having received a benefit, Yin Si was naturally forthcoming. "Little skeleton, if you truly wish to repair this token, you must make a trip to the Ghost Realm and slay some Ghost Clan beings. As for how much Spirit Energy is needed to fully restore it, that depends on the fate of the Divine Beast Token."

Ah?

If only he had known, he would have completed the task given by the pharmacy owner first!

What a pity!
