Undead Mage from a Cell

After explaining some situations in the Soul Gathering Land, Zuo Ya didn’t stay long.

He took a step forward and disappeared right in front of Gu Xi.

Before leaving, he said to Gu Xi, ”If there’s anything, just send me a message.”

After Zuo Ya left, Gu Xi smiled too. In such a strange place, meeting an acquaintance feels really good.

After the smile, Gu Xi looked around, and some thoughts flashed in his mind.

”Shaya!”

Gu Xi raised his left hand, a special mirror on his wrist flashed with light, and Shaya appeared in front of Gu Xi.

”Master.”

”Shaya, you’ve heard the previous information. Go and inquire about the situation in the Soul Gathering Land. I’ll find a place to settle them first.”

Gu Xi pointed to the Undead Corps behind him.

Since he had brought them all in, Gu Xi naturally didn’t intend to send them back to Yalidov City.

After all, they’ve come here, keeping them in the Soul Gathering Land serves as some ears and eyes. Maybe the Undead Corps might get lucky, and the supplies they have can be traded for some good things.

But before that, Gu Xi still needed to find a place where they could gather.

After glancing around for a moment, Gu Xi finally selected a landmark.

This landmark was labeled as Ding Landmark. On it were placed a bowl of rice, a plate of fruit, and a platter of fish.

Two chopsticks were also inserted into the rice.

According to what Zuo Ya mentioned earlier, this indicated that the landmark led to an inn behind it.

Judging from the current situation, this inn shouldn’t be too expensive. Gu Xi thought for a moment and stepped forward.

In the next instant, everything in front of Gu Xi blurred, and he found himself in an independent space. A huge inn, five stories high and covering an area of over ten acres, was situated in the center of the space.

The entire first floor of the inn was open, with a ceiling over six meters high, allowing most undead of any size to enter.

In the hall on this floor, there were over a hundred square tables, with numerous waiters bustling back and forth.

Before Gu Xi even approached the inn, all the windows upstairs opened, and some lantern-biting heads floated out, saying, ”Guests have arrived. You little fellows, hurry and invite the guests in.”

As they spoke, a large number of undead waiters rushed out from inside.

Most of these waiters looked like Skeletons or Ghost Souls, with Zombies being relatively few.

They lined up in front of Gu Xi, saying, ”Welcome to our Li’s Inn, esteemed guest. Please, this way. We wonder if you are only stopping briefly or looking to stay? Would you like to book the entire inn?”

”Book the entire inn, please. Here’s the cost for ten days. You don’t need to worry about me—see to my subordinates and prepare some food according to their needs.”

As Gu Xi spoke, he took out a piece of Negative Energy that had already crystallized.

This piece of Negative Energy was roughly equivalent to 3000 units of Negative Energy.

It’s equivalent to a day’s earnings of Yalidov City Assembly Hall.

In a place like Soul Gathering Land, such Negative Energy is quite valuable, as most undead require it to survive.

It can be considered the essence of undead, while various ores, Underworld herbs, and even bones and corpses are not worth much here.

Generally, undead use ores or herbs found outside to pay when entering the city or staying at an inn.

Cases like Gu Xi’s, where Negative Energy is directly offered, are rare.

”That’s fine, esteemed guest, this is more than enough. Please come this way.”

Upon seeing what Gu Xi offered, the undead waiters immediately led Gu Xi inside, while saying, ”If you have any mounts, feel free to release them. We have specialized staff here to handle mounts.”

Gu Xi glanced around and found this inn to be quite professional indeed.

Even before Gu Xi went inside, the Bone Titan and Ghost Dragon were already receiving professional care.

The Ghost Dragon’s bones were being polished one by one, and several specialized chefs were brewing a potion, seemingly preparing to varnish the Ghost Dragon’s bones.

The treatment of the Bone Titan was even more astonishing. Gu Xi couldn’t figure out how the inn realized the Bone Titan’s situation—they even had some Bone Fragments with a lightning effect, as food for the Bone Titan.

And his undead subordinates were also properly arranged, with all the food corresponding to each undead’s needs.

Even Isabella’s Blood Clone received a cup of fresh blood.

Gu Xi was somewhat speechless at the efficiency—how did everything get arranged in just a few minutes?

But Gu Xi soon experienced the speed of these undead waiters.

In front of the waiters, Gu Xi released the Evil Coffin.

As a result, in the next instant, the Evil Coffin was dragged off to the side.

Even Gu Xi wasn’t sure what was inside the Evil Coffin, but these knowledgeable waiters dragged it aside, bringing out two firepans-like items, pouring in a large amount of dried grass continuously.

This dried grass, when burned, emitted thick black smoke.

Then the smoke was fanned towards the Evil Coffin and absorbed by it, swallowed into the coffin.

Meanwhile, as the Evil Coffin opened slightly to devour the black smoke, the waiters tossed in some flesh and blood.

From the chewing sounds coming from inside the coffin, one could tell that whatever was suppressed inside seemed to have been starving for quite some time.

Additionally, some waiters were managing the Iron Chains on the surface of the Evil Coffin.

They clearly understood the purpose of these chains, as they had seen everything with the vast number of undead passing through here.

Regarding these Iron Chains, the waiters treated them by oiling.

They brought an unknown kind of grease and kept applying it to the chains, and in just a moment, the chains were covered in a slick, shiny layer.

They even changed the Talisman affixed to the surface of the Evil Coffin with new ones.

They even polished and spray-painted the coffin’s body.

It was clear that with just a bit of their touch-up, the Evil Coffin looked much more impressive.

At this moment, the initial waiter who had come to greet them whispered, ”Esteemed guest, how do you find our service? We’re quite professional, right? By the way, wouldn’t you like something to eat?

We also have food prepared for living beings, considering that some living creatures do occasionally venture to the Underworld to seek treasure. It’s not always feasible for them to rely solely on their own supplies.

Additionally, do you need any services? Our services are quite thorough, and we can accommodate any race.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi was a bit taken aback. Could you not change the subject so quickly? Is the service you’re referring to legitimate?

I’m not that kind of person.

By the way, since this is an Eastern-themed world, do you have any Fox Spirits? Rabbit Spirits are also fine.
