Hell Emperor.

Chapter 360 Ye Jie - Yin Shang
"Do you know them?"

Seeing that Su Miao seemed to know the origins of that group of people, Ye Jie asked curiously.

Su Miao took a deep breath and confirmed the identities of the group of people. A lingering solemnity appeared on her face: "Yes... If I'm not mistaken, they should be from the Qinglian Palace!"

"Qinglian Palace?"

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows. The Qinglian Palace, like the Mingling Palace, was also the Yama Palace of the Northern Continent. It had nothing to do with the Jinlun Palace under his jurisdiction. He didn't know why the people from the Qinglian Palace came here.

After thinking for a while, Ye Jie asked quietly: "You and the ghosts of Qinglian Palace are in the same continent. Can you tell me about the situation there?"

Su Miao glanced at Ye Jie, her eyes filled with contempt for his lack of knowledge, but now was not the time to be disdainful, so she quickly opened her mouth and explained the situation:
"Although they are both in Northern Juluzhou, the situations of Qinglian Palace and Mingling Palace are completely different. Qinglian Palace advocates business and trade, and has the most prosperous ghost market in the world. There, you can buy everything with Yin De, and all things are clearly marked with prices. There is nothing they won't sell, except what you can't think of."

"Really? Are they selling the main account in the hall?" Ye Jie couldn't help but joked as if he had thought of something. He remembered that among the seven stitched pages in his hand, the main account of Qinglian Hall was missing.

Su Miao glared at Ye Jie, as if complaining that he still had the mind to joke at this time, but still said: "Of course, the price of the Qinglian Palace Master's account is 100 billion Yin De. Even the Demon Palace Master can't afford this price. Do you want to buy it?"

"How much more?" Ye Jie's eyes twitched, thinking he had heard wrongly. One hundred million billion, what a huge number that is? If one trillion equals one trillion, then that's one trillion.

No wonder Ye Jie was so surprised. A first-grade reincarnation with nine talents in the next life would only have 10 billion merits. Who could afford these 100 billion merits?

While the two were chatting, the fat ghost fairy who was in the lead came over. He looked rich and noble, and said with a smile:
"I've heard that the master of the Golden Wheel Palace has been replaced. Now I see that the Golden Wheel Palace is prosperous and full of people. It is many times more prosperous than the barren scene in the past. I think under the leadership of the master, the Golden Wheel Palace will surely prosper."

Ye Jie smiled politely and clasped his fists in return: "I wonder who you are..."

"I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the leader of the Yin Merchants under the command of Wanshou Lao Ren, the second elder of the Northern Qinglian Palace. My immortal name is Shoufa. May I know the palace master's name?"

"Your surname is Ye."

While the two were talking, Su Miao and Yao Yin looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Having come from the north, they had naturally heard of the name of Wanshou Old Man.

"Palace Master Ye, we have come here uninvited to discuss a business with you, and it's a big business. The previous Palace Master of Golden Wheel could not reach an agreement with us on the conditions, and we deeply regret this, but I know that as smart as you are, you will not let us down." Shoufa rubbed his hands, with some expectation in his eyes.

Ye Jie waved his hand slowly: "I can't guarantee anything, let's talk about it first. But since it's a business, there should be a lot of good deeds, right?"

Shoufa said confidently: "Of course, if we can reach an agreement, it will bring at least 2 billion Yin De to Palace Master Ye every year. If you are willing, it can be even more."

"Twenty billion?" Ye Jie's pupils shrank, and he could only sigh in his heart, he was indeed a shady businessman from the Qinglian Palace, a mere business could bring such a high income to the palace.

On the side, Su Miao couldn't stand it anymore and immediately interrupted, "Wanshou Lao Ren's disciples, I know what you want. You are not welcome here!"

Seeing Su Miao suddenly interrupt, Ye Jie was shocked. How could someone come to disrupt the business before the business even started? He hurriedly said, "Fairy Miaorou, what do you mean? Not only do you not want to lend me your good deeds, but you also want to disrupt the business in the palace? My companions are still waiting! For the sake of Qingge and the others, please don't make trouble anymore!"

"You are... Fairy Miaorou from the Netherworld Palace? Why are you here?"

Shoufa was stunned, and quickly took out a yellowed page from his arms. Several lines of text appeared on it. He looked at it carefully and suddenly realized: "I was wondering why you are here. It turns out that you were kicked out of the Nether Spirit Palace. This is a business between Palace Master Ye and me. It has nothing to do with you. You have no right to interfere."

Seeing that Ye Jie ignored her good intentions, Su Miao stamped her feet hard, very angry: "Tsk... I was helping you, doing business with Wanshou Lao Ren's disciples, you will definitely regret it!"

Ye Jie was quite helpless. He didn't know what Su Miao was crazy about. She didn't even know the business content, so why did she have such a big opinion? He could only look at Shou Fa with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry... Let's talk about business. What do you want?"

Shoufa grinned, revealing his square teeth, and asked, "Palace Master Ye, do you know what a greedy person is?"

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows: "A person who is greedy for the merits of heaven? That refers to a person who is arrogant and greedy and takes the gifts of heaven for himself and regards them as his own merits. In the underworld, a person who is greedy for the merits of heaven generally refers to those who do not value their lives and choose to commit suicide."

Shoufa nodded in satisfaction: "Well said! Those who covet the merits of heaven... their life span is not over yet, but they covet the merits of heaven and choose to commit suicide, wasting their life span in vain. Whenever I think of it, I can't help but sigh how regrettable it is."

"Wait... waste? The business you are talking about, don't you want to..." Ye Jie was stunned, and Su Miao's previous warning emerged in his mind, and then he reacted.

Shoufa did not hide his intention and said: "Yes, I am here for people's longevity."

Shoufa's words stunned everyone present. They tried hard to digest the meaning of his words. Only Su Miao showed a look that showed that she had known it long ago.

"Life span?... You mean, you want to collect the life span left behind by those who committed suicide?" Ye Jie took a deep breath.

"That's just the first step. My goal is to reach a deep cooperation with Palace Master Ye and allow all creatures within the jurisdiction of the Golden Wheel Palace to freely trade their life spans. That's the big part of this business." Shoufa laughed. For some reason, everyone felt a sense of danger from his smile.

"Trading life span... How is that possible?" Ye Jie opened his mouth wide. Shoufa's words really exceeded his expectations. Seeing that Ye Jie was a little confused, Shoufa explained: "I wonder if Palace Master Ye has noticed that among the administrative options that can be executed in the Yama Palace, there are very few administrative options that are not visible on weekdays and can only be unlocked after the conditions are met. Such options are generally called hidden administrative options."

"It's true." Ye Jie nodded. Shoufa was right.

Shoufa added: "Among the many administrative options, as long as the Palace Master adopts the three administrative options of Heaven's Merit, Time Waits for No One, and Death Is Approaching at the same time, he can unlock a hidden administrative option called Yangshou Trade."

Shoufa's words startled Ye Jie, and he quickly took out the seven stitched pages. The text on them changed, and the three administrative options Shoufa mentioned really appeared:

【Heavenly Merit and My Merit: Introducing the Heavenly Merit and My Merit system, all living beings in the jurisdiction no longer regard life as a gift from heaven, but as personal property. Living beings can independently dispose of their own lives. Those who commit suicide are no longer considered as greedy for heavenly merits, and will not be punished by the Lord of Yama after death. A ghost messenger can be set up to collect the unfinished life of those who commit suicide and distribute it to other living beings. Unlocking requires 10 million Yin De and 5 million soul rhymes. 】

【Time Waits for No One: Unlocking requires the system of "Heavenly Merit and My Merit". The system of "Time Waits for No One" is introduced. The process of painstaking cultivation is always difficult, and time will not wait for anyone. Living beings can make requests to the Ghost of Life Service to actively shorten their own life span to quickly master the corresponding years of cultivation. The Ghost of Life Service has increased authority and can use the power of life span to modify the files of living beings' cultivation methods, up to the level of great success. Unlocking requires 40 million Yin De and 20 million soul rhymes.】

[Death is approaching: Unlocking requires the Tiangong and Wugong system, introducing the death is approaching system to reduce sudden deaths and inform people of the end of their life in advance, which helps people plan for the afterlife. The authority of the life ghost is improved, and it can check the remaining life span of the living through the remaining pages of the life and death book, and convey the message of the approaching death to the living seven days before the end of life. Unlocking requires 50 million Yin De and 25 million soul rhymes. ]

“There are indeed several administrative options…”

Ye Jie was slightly stunned. After the Document Hall was built, there were thousands of administrative options available. He had no time to check them one by one. He didn't expect that there were really the items that Shoufa mentioned.

Seeing that Ye Jie had some understanding, Shoufa said at the right time: "The Book of Life and Death records all the files of living beings, even how long one can live. It's just that ordinary ghosts don't have enough authority and can't see it at all. Only the ghosts in charge of life are qualified to see it. I heard from my master, Old Man Wanshou, that when the Emperor of the Underworld was still alive, the ghosts in charge of life had the highest status, much higher than the ghosts in charge of taxation. It's not like now. No matter what you do, you have to look at the faces of the ghosts in charge of taxation. It's simply a group of..."

Shaking his head, Shoufa stopped talking about this and returned to the main topic: "As long as these administrative options are implemented, the hidden Yangshou trade can be unlocked. I wonder what Lord Ye thinks? Are you willing to do business with us?"

Ye Jie was a little embarrassed and evaded the question, "Even if I am willing, the resources in the palace are not enough to unlock these administrative options. Both Yin De and Soul Charm are lacking..."

Shoufa laughed, "That's easy. To show our sincerity, as long as the Palace Master is willing to implement these administrative options, we will pay for all expenses. In addition, if the Palace Master is willing to let our professional team serve as the ghost messengers for the longevity trade, I will also advance 500 million Yin De as a deposit. The Palace Master can rest assured that the longevity trade will be fully handed over to us. In the future, at least 2 billion Yin De will be received every year!"

"Five hundred million deposit?"

Ye Jie's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that such a distinguished guest would come as soon as the teleportation array was built. Shoufa and his friends not only provided team manpower, but also paid for the expenses of administrative options. In the future, he would receive generous merits every year. Moreover, they were providing a large deposit to solve his urgent needs. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

"Palace Master Ye, please come over here!"

Just when Ye Jie was about to agree, he heard a weird voice in his ears. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Miao winking at him with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

Except for Su Miao, the other companions who had just arrived in the hall also looked thoughtful. Seeing this, Ye Jie coughed dryly and said:
"I am very excited about the proposal of Immortal Shoufa, but this matter has far-reaching consequences and cannot be decided in a short time. I still need to consider it carefully. Please bear with me for a moment, Immortal Shoufa. I will give you a reply as soon as possible."

Shoufa smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Palace Master Ye can consider it. I will just walk around the Golden Wheel Palace and feel the different customs and practices."

After Shoufa left, Ye Jie came to Su Miao and said helplessly, "Why did you call me?"

"What are you talking about? You're not really going to agree to his proposal, are you?" Su Miao glared at him.

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "I think he is quite generous. It seems that there is nothing wrong with agreeing to this proposal, right?"

"That's life span! If you let them be ghost messengers for life, the people here will be exploited to the extreme, and who knows how much life span will be taken away from them. When that happens, all the lives will be destroyed and tragedies will happen. Will you be happy?" Su Miao was full of indignation. "Why do you think he gave you such a high price? He can sell the life span harvested from here for 10 billion in the Qinglian Palace!"

"Ten billion..." Ye Jie was shocked. "Ten billion, and you give me two billion? That won't do. It must be at least five billion!"

Su Miao was mad: "Did you hear what I said?"

Ye Jie waved his hands, thinking that her shrill voice was too loud. "I understand what you mean. You think that people will become unfortunate and tragedy will happen when they lose their life span, but that is not the case. Even if people become ghosts after death, they can still come to the Golden Wheel Palace to work for me and make the Golden Wheel Palace better. They can also get Yin De as a reward and be reborn into a better family in the next life."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued, "Besides, dying of old age is a natural death, which is what people call a good death. There is no natural disaster, no man-made disaster, but living to the moment when the life span ends. Although the life span is a bit shorter, it is not as unacceptable as a sudden death, right?"

Su Miao's nose was almost crooked by his anger: "I don't care, it's just not possible! You are not allowed to agree to them!"

Ye Jie frowned and said in a more serious tone: "Fairy Miao Rou, I don't understand what you mean. I asked you to lend me Yin De but you refused. Now someone is willing to give me a generous amount of Yin De, but you still don't allow it? If you had lent me the Yin De earlier, how could this happen? My companions are still waiting for these Yin De to save their lives!"

Su Miao was speechless for a moment, knowing that she was in the wrong. Just as Ye Jie said, if she had lent Yin De to Ye Jie earlier, all these things could have been avoided. In Ye Jie's eyes, her words would have more weight, so she had no choice but to give in and said, "Can I lend it to you now?"

Ye Jie looked calm and answered with the same words as Su Miao before: "Then you have to be sincere and beg me to accept it."
