I can push my cultivation progress to the end

"Ghost?!"

Li Hai said in surprise, "The ghost didn't harm you, but instead became related to you?"

"Uh…" Zheng Dashan nodded, "That's right."

"Good heavens."

Li Hai shook his head in astonishment, "This is truly… a rare thing in the world."

Then he asked again, "Where is your brother-in-law? Is he in this cave?"

As he spoke, Li Hai raised his eyes and surveyed the surroundings.

Although this deep mountain cave was spacious, with complex terrain and little light, under his extremely sharp perception, everything was still clearly visible.

But after looking around, he failed to capture even a trace of pure ghostly aura.

In this cave, only the turbid aura of the ghost-folk family of Zheng Dashan floated everywhere.

"Interesting."

Li Hai muttered to himself, "To be able to hide from my perception, this ghost… is extraordinary."

"Take this money."

Li Hai took out ten silver coins from his pocket and handed them to Zheng Dashan, "If you have time, you can go down the mountain to find a place to exchange for some cooked food and buy some new clothes to improve your wife and children's lives."

Zheng Dashan took the money and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, uh… new clothes are out of the question."

He hesitated, "My brother-in-law… can't stand people wearing bright clothes, he will go crazy."

"?"

Li Hai chuckled, "Your brother-in-law has such a taboo? Heh heh, he's quite a character… no, a remarkable ghost."

"Sir, you…"

Zheng Dashan looked at Li Hai's clothes, "Your clothes might violate my brother-in-law's taboo."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Hai said indifferently, "It's his taboo, not mine."

"But…"

Zheng Dashan wanted to say more, but saw that Li Hai had already closed his eyes and lay down on the ground, apparently not wanting to listen anymore.

So, Zheng Dashan swallowed his words and stopped talking, only silently walking towards his family.

Li Hai also enjoyed the peace and quiet and began to sleep soundly.

As a Steel-level martial artist, insomnia doesn't exist for him.

As long as Li Hai wants to sleep, he can fall asleep at any time.

But that doesn't mean that outsiders can take the opportunity to attack him, that would be courting death.

Time flowed slowly as Li Hai slept.

During this time, while in a deep sleep, Li Hai could clearly feel three small figures sneaking over to peek at him.

These should be Zheng Dashan's three children, they are quite bold.

However, Li Hai didn't suddenly wake up and scare the three children, but let them peek.

Just like that, six hours passed quickly.

The sunlight from the gap in the rock layer above the cave gradually disappeared, and the Zheng Dashan family lit oil lamps in the cave.

At this moment, a faint and sinister ghostly aura suddenly emerged from the deep pool.

At the same time, a wet and eerie figure also walked out of the pool step by step with its head lowered.

"Finally here, Zheng Dashan's brother-in-law."

Li Hai suddenly opened his eyes and got up, turning his head to look at the sinister figure standing quietly by the pool, covered in blood.

"Bloodline Divine Power?"

Li Hai said in surprise, "Even the dead can possess divine power?!"

Just as he was surprised, the ghost by the pool suddenly crawled towards him quickly on all fours, leaving a bloody footprint with each step.

Ordinary people would be scared out of their wits by this terrifying scene, but what kind of person is Li Hai? He is not human.

In an instant, Li Hai switched himself to ghost state.

Buzz ~

Instantly, centered on him, an extremely fierce and evil ghost aura swept across dozens of feet around.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Some weeds and tree roots immediately withered and died, and the Zheng Dashan family not far away was also frightened and trembled, and the ghost by the pool also immediately stopped its frantic crawling and froze in place.

The Ghost Path lineage has always had strict levels and clear order.

A higher-level ghost can even command a lower-level ghost to work like a horse, so when Li Hai revealed his fierce aura as a Wraith-level ghost, Zheng Dashan's brother-in-law could only be suppressed on the spot, unable to move.

However, after suppressing this ghost, Li Hai did not immediately kill it.

Because not all ghosts must be exterminated. On the contrary, many people are more hateful than ghosts, and they need to be killed.

Since the Zheng Dashan family is a group of pitiful people who have been persecuted, then could this ghost brother-in-law who lives with them also be a pitiful ghost?

Extremely curious about this, Li Hai waved to the ghost brother-in-law: "Come, come up, let's chat."

The ghostly aura covering all directions disappeared in an instant, and the frightened Zheng Dashan family relaxed. The ghost brother-in-law also lifted the 'imprisonment' and slowly climbed up the rocky slope from the ground.

This time, he did not dare to walk in a terrifying manner on all fours, but walked step by step in a human-like manner up the rocky slope.

"Come."

Li Hai pointed to the front, "Sit here."

Listening to the instruction, the ghost brother-in-law silently sat cross-legged in front of him.

Li Hai didn't waste any words and asked directly:

"What is your name?"

The ghost brother-in-law slowly raised his head, revealing a skeletal face without a trace of flesh. The completely rotten jawbone opened and closed eerily:

"Sir, my name is Qiu Fangzheng."

The Zheng Dashan family not far away almost had their jaws drop in shock at this scene.

"Great-uncle is so well-behaved today."

One of Zheng Dashan's children said innocently, "He doesn't look like great-uncle anymore."

His mother quickly covered his mouth upon hearing this, and whispered, "Don't talk too much, stay put."

After instructing him, the woman and her husband looked at Li Hai from afar with awe-filled eyes, marveling together in their hearts:

"This sir is really amazing. He didn't do anything and subdued big brother, and big brother says whatever he asks, so obediently."

While they were marveling, the conversation between Li Hai and the ghost brother-in-law continued.

"You said you also came from Niujiao Town?"

Li Hai said in surprise, "Then why didn't you know the Zheng Dashan family before?"

"Niujiao Town… is very big."

Qiu Fangzheng said with difficulty, "Two hundred miles around… the biggest."

"Let's not talk about these things."

Li Hai said bluntly, "Tell me how you became a ghost. Why did you die a violent death in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"My death…"

Qiu Fangzheng said in a hollow voice, "Is related to the Zhou family."
