Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 173 Buying a Mountain

That night, Jiang Yuan sat by Crescent Lake, spending most of the night brushing up his fishing skills, but he didn’t get any rain, naturally not seeing the shadow of a mermaid.

Bai Yunqi, on the other hand, sat cross-legged to cultivate, mainly just to keep him company.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, Wan An became busy after finishing his dream transmission.

He had to go find the Yin Messenger surnamed Ma to test his attitude, as it involved the major issue of mining exploration, as the executor, he had to be extremely cautious.

He couldn’t risk even a tiny bit of uncertainty, or losing his life would be a small matter, but dragging his grandson down to lose the mine would be a big one!

Another gold ingot burned his way, he carefully hid the money before heading out with two Yin Warriors.

"Sir, are you really entrusting such a good store for me to manage?" Lin Dayou was pacing in the courtyard, feeling conflicted.

Seeing him come out of the room with two strong men by his side, Dayou was taken aback and said in a low voice, "I, you know I haven’t done business before. I’ve never done anything besides serving a few acres of land, becoming a shop owner, I’m really not confident."

Wan An first introduced, "These are the Yin Warriors Mingchuan burned for me, saying I’m getting on in years and need someone to look after me when going out. The money to open the shop was also burned by Mingchuan’s master, left here is of no use to me.

I thought, since we have food and shelter now, why not try doing something with the money? We’ve never done small business, so just take it easy and give it a try. If we lose money, Mingchuan will send more. If we earn, we won’t have to keep asking the family for money.

And also..."

He lowered his voice to say, "Mingchuan taught me a new method, there are talismans for dream-transmissions in the Exotic Treasures Pavilion. Once you earn money, you can buy a stack and transmit dreams to meet your wife and children anytime, keeping them in your thoughts!"

Is it true that by dying and becoming a ghost you can indeed transmit dreams to your family?

Lin Dayou widened his eyes immediately, he too wanted to earn money, after all, it’s embarrassing for a man in his prime to keep living in a house paid for by someone else’s grandson.

The words stuck in his mouth for a moment, his face reddening he said, "Then... I’ll check out what business other stores do in the next couple of days, then find supply channels and strive to earn money soon!"

"Alright, go ahead and ponder it. You’re young and clever, learn slowly and you’ll surely succeed in business!" Wan An sent him off cheerfully and hurried off with two Yin Warriors to find the Teleportation Station.

The Netherworld is different from the human world. In the Human World, mortals and cultivators have a very clear dividing line, almost belonging to two different species, mortals can only rely on cultivators for survival;

While the Netherworld is inhabited by souls, and without the constraints of a body, spirits naturally possess many special abilities, the gap between them and Ghost Cultivators is much smaller. Moreover, there are no relationships of offering or protection like in the human world, Ghost Cultivators usually make money by creating and selling magical items that ordinary ghosts can use.

The Teleportation Station is one of those.

The Netherworld is vast, with long distances between cities, and the officials established the Teleportation Stations for easy travel for the souls under their rule.

Although there are no True Gods in the world nowadays, Yin Messengers in the Netherworld are only acting temporarily, however, the basic revenue-generating infrastructures remain operational and usable.

"Old gentleman, where would you like to wander off to?" As soon as he entered the Teleportation Station, a plump, cheerful-faced female ghost approached with a warm greeting, "If you are visiting relatives, the one-way teleportation can be accurate to the alley and house number they reside in, but for the return trip, you need to go to the station in their city to teleport back to your home;

If you want to go on a trip, we also have maps of the Eastern Continent, some remote places cannot be directly teleported and require one or two transfers through small towns to reach them."

The teleportation array is expensive to use once, and even though Black Water City is prosperous, wealthy ghosts are few, hence the Teleportation Station rarely gets visitors.

Wan An couldn’t read, but he could understand the map hanging on the wall.

After a moment of observation, he finally found the location written in a straightforward manner in his dream by Mr. Bai—Great Yin Mountain—at the upper right corner.

That mountain valley doesn’t have a specific name; judging from the terrain, it is believed to be located deep within Great Yin Mountain, about to reach the edge of the map in a mountain shaped like a lotus.

"Girl, what is beyond the map?"

"Here we have the map of the Eastern Continent, the edge is the Hundred Thousand Desolate Mountains of Great Yin Mountain," the female ghost smiled as he pointed to the spot, "You know, beyond this mountain further southwest lies Chize Lake, it is said there is a gap that connects with the Demon Realm, who knows if it’s true, but it’s very chaotic over there!"

Wan An casually registered a teleportation to Fengdu, actually having prepared in his heart long ago, knowing that it couldn’t be discovered by the Ghost Cultivators over the years and sealed would definitely not be somewhere near the prosperous areas near Fengdu.

He teleported to Fengdu with two Yin Warriors and started asking around along the way.

From a distance, he saw the grand Luoshan; looking up, it had no top and looking down, it had no bottom, lined with brightly lit bridges and bustling with ghostly shadows.

Walking along the widest bridge, there were Stone Towers, Wooden Towers, Copper Towers, Silver Towers, and Golden Towers arrayed respectively.

Generally speaking, Miscellaneous Ghost Messengers live in Stone Towers, low-level Yin Messengers like Ma Hongtu live in Wooden Towers, but he could wedge into better-conditioned Silver Towers, even if he only lived on the lower floors, it was enough to show his smooth handling and wide connections.

Arriving at the residence of the Yin Messengers, its bustling atmosphere was entirely different from Black Water City, with occasional bright intersecting streaks of Sword Flight in mid-air, groups of Yin Messengers and Ghost Messengers, chatting and laughing in uniform attire, occasionally many new ghosts chained and escorted to various places.

"Ah... it’s hard to live, and tough to die too!" Wan An watched some old ghosts of similar age to himself in tattered clothes sent to lower levels, recalling the hard days of mining was unavoidable to sigh.

Hopefully everything goes well, and his grandson can successfully cultivate in the Mortal World without falling into the Netherworld; he could also work a bit in Black Water City for a carefree living.

"Oh? Old Mr. Wan is here? A rare guest, a rare guest! Please come on in!" Ma Hongtu was drinking alone when he heard a little ghost report it, having lost a Money Tree and those sneaky actions had been discovered, how could he not worry?

Upon hearing the old gentleman came straight to him with Warriors by his side, he immediately turned up a friendly smile, went out to greet, his eyes went straight when he saw two high-quality Yin Warriors, "Old gentleman, are they sent by your grandson?"

"Yes, Mingchuan said I’m getting old and need company when going out." Wan An seeing the greed in his eyes for the Yin Warriors, knew what he was doing, smilingly replied, "Thanks to Mr. Ma’s care, I’m living and eating well in the city, but Mingchuan knows my nature, been buzzingly busy all life, having nothing to do now feels uneasy."

Seeing the other didn’t mention anything else, Ma Hongtu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking Mr. Jiang was ignoring certain ones, immediately beamed inviting him to sit down, "What does the old gentleman want to do? Not to boast, I know some good food and fun of Fengdu, Black Water City if you want just say, I guarantee to help you get it done!"

Wan An looked at him sincerely, "I want to go hunting in the mountains."

"Hunting?!" Ma Hongtu had just sipped his tea when he almost choked, "And in the mountains?"

"Yes, I was a hunter before I died, hunted all my life, it’s what I like and what I’m good at. If I could open up a piece of land to farm, that would be even better. Oh, and I heard there’re many soul loosestrife flowers along Yellow Springs Road, not found in the mortal world, want to get some seeds to plant flowers, so Mingchuan sent me Yin Warriors, I plan to ask Mr. Ma’s help to buy a mountain."
