My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen has skills, high cultivation, and now so many spirit stones, which is equivalent to being wealthy. Recruiting some cultivators to help might be possible.

However, Fang Tiancheng quickly calmed down.

If the cultivators find out that there are so many raw stones here, they might become greedy, and by then, Ye Guichen will definitely not be able to cope.

”Young Master, these spirit stones must be hidden quickly.” Fang Tiancheng looked around cautiously, ”We can’t take too many spirit stones to the ghost market either. If someone with ill intentions targets us, we’ll be in danger.”

Luo Shentong snorted coldly, seeing Fang Tiancheng saying it so seriously, ”The way you’re talking, it sounds like you know a lot about the ghost market. First, tell me how to extract and purify the spirit stones from these raw stones.”

Fang Tiancheng slapped his head suddenly, ”Yes, yes, I forgot for a moment. Carrying these raw stones to the ghost market isn’t feasible, not only because they’re too heavy but because people might become suspicious when they see we have raw stones, which would be dangerous for us. But extracting spirit stones isn’t easy either.”

After pondering for a moment, Fang Tiancheng said, ”As far as I know, even at a high temperature of five thousand degrees, these spirit stones won’t melt. There’s a spirit stone mine within the hidden sect, and their refining method isn’t difficult; it’s just high-temperature burning to remove impurities, leaving just the spirit stones. In high temperatures, you can cut spirit stones into small pieces. As for purity, we can’t determine it now, but if the cultivation level is high enough to absorb spirit stones, you should be able to sense the purity level.”

”Alright, leave that to me.” Ye Guichen nodded in agreement.

Fang Tiancheng paused for a moment, looking suspiciously at Ye Guichen.

What’s the meaning?

Does this mean Ye Guichen can absorb spirit stones?

The reason spirit stones are the currency in the ghost market is that only cultivators can use them.

And in the ghost market, only from the hands of cultivators can you find good things.

Could it be that Ye Guichen is already considered a cultivator?

Thinking back to when Ye Guichen effortlessly killed Jitian and the state when he killed the three Black Blade Men he had brought, Fang Tiancheng only felt his throat tighten.

It seems I’ve still underestimated the Young Master.

Ye Guichen naturally didn’t know what Fang Tiancheng was thinking.

With his current status and strength, finding a steel mill is no problem.

Using the steel mill’s temperature to melt the impurities in these raw stones and then cutting them into small pieces with the Golden Snake Sword is naturally not a problem.

Moreover, Ye Guichen’s Immortal Slayer Sword can also cut the spirit stones into small pieces.

After this ordeal, the planned trip to the ghost market was postponed by two days.

But after two days, Ye Guichen harvested almost a small truckload of spirit stones.

The spirit stones were about the size of walnuts, as Fang Tiancheng had said.

But the purity was inconsistent.

After all, this is the secular world, and spiritual energy is weak, making it really difficult to get mid-grade or even higher-grade spirit stones.

So, most of the spirit stones were of low grade.

But even so, Fang Tiancheng was utterly shocked upon seeing the formed spirit stones.

The scene was simply too overwhelming.

Even within the low-grade spirit stones, Fang Tiancheng had at most only ever had a dozen, guarding them like treasures.

But this truckload of spirit stones must be at least a million pieces, right?

”We’re wealthy, we’re wealthy. With these spirit stones, hiring a few cultivators as bodyguards isn’t a problem!” Fang Tiancheng’s eyes gleamed like stars, though he quickly restrained his greed.

If he dared to make any reckless move, Ye Guichen would undoubtedly kill him without hesitation.

”Young Master, we don’t need to bring too many, just a hundred or so will do, more won’t be useful.” Even low-grade spirit stones are extremely valuable, and most cultivators who appear in the ghost market are very poor.

As far as Fang Tiancheng knows, a cultivator with a dozen spirit stones is considered wealthy.

Of course, most cultivators in the ghost market are those who have just entered the cultivator ranks, many of whom are only slightly stronger than someone like Jitian, a half-step immortal.

Even Fang Tiancheng has never seen stronger cultivators.

Nonetheless, those cultivators are already beings they dread immensely.

It’s like the difference between martial artists and ordinary people, even a third-rate martial artist can kill a much stronger adult with a single punch.

So, even the weakest cultivators can easily crush martial artists.

Even those who have reached the Grandmaster Realm are not much stronger than ants in front of cultivators.

Ye Guichen had no objections.

He instructed others to transport the remaining spirit stones back to the cellar where King Yan had once hidden. The cellar was completely filled with spirit stones.

There was a box of gold in the cellar that hadn’t been used.

Ye Guichen suddenly felt like gold was worthless compared to spirit stones.

Yet no matter if it’s the Chen Group, the Heavenly God Temple, or even the Shennong Sect, they are all developing very well, with money growing like a snowball, leaving no place to spend it.

A whole box of gold, yet Ye Guichen felt it was as useless as scrap iron.

Sigh, it seems when money reaches a certain level, it really makes people numb.

Ye Guichen lightly sighed inwardly.

If anyone heard Ye Guichen say this, they’d surely want to kill him.

Such a show-off.

A whole box of gold is a nuisance, not knowing how many people can’t even get a piece.

Having dealt with the spirit stones, Ye Guichen arranged some trivial matters and then set off for the ghost market with Fang Tiancheng.

On their return to the ghost market, Luo Shentong appeared somewhat excited.

Deep down, there was one thing he hadn’t told anyone, not even Ye Guichen.

His master only spoke of it on his deathbed.

Luo Shentong’s master told him, if given the chance to return to the ghost market, he must convey a message to someone.

To tell that person what love at first sight means.

That’s right, Luo Shentong’s master had fallen for a shop owner at the ghost market.

But in the end, it ended without resolution.

Luo Shentong never thought he’d get the chance to return to the ghost market, so he never paid attention to this matter. Yet his master’s demeanor on his deathbed clearly showed that he had feelings for that shop owner.

”Master, you never married and treated me like your own son. If I meet that woman this time, I will surely deliver your message.”

His heart felt inexplicably nervous.

Although he had accompanied his master to the ghost market before, he had never met the shop owner his master spoke of.

However, after so many years, he wondered if that person was still alive.

Similarly, Fang Tiancheng also felt uneasy.

Entering the hidden sect requires going through the ghost market, and Fang Tiancheng had been there more than once, but this time was completely different.

Because he was appearing as the follower of the Son of the Nether Emperor.

If one day, Ye Guichen could indeed unify the Hidden Sect Seven Kings, this ghost market would likely be absorbed by the hidden sect too, right?

In his heart, an inexplicable sense of anticipation arose.
