Big Steward

The first day of September.

A ray of light fell on the capital of Yue Kingdom.

The light disappears.

It was Hou Dongsheng.

Qixingzi asked Hou Dongsheng to arrive at Yue Kingdom before the ninth day of September, otherwise they might not be able to meet each other.

Therefore, Hou Dongsheng came on the first day of September.

Hong Shang Guan.

The headquarters of the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, which is spread across all countries, is located on the side of the bustling neighborhood of Yue Kingdom.

This day.

A man in black wearing a bamboo hat came to the entrance of the main helm.

Concierge: "Who are you?"

The man in black opened his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Hou Dongsheng."

The two concierges looked at each other and immediately clasped their fists at Hou Dongsheng and said: "The chief steward has already told me, please come in, Mr. Hou."

Hou Dongsheng: "Shall we go in directly?"

Concierge: "Yes."

Hou Dongsheng: "You won't go in?"

"Young men are just mortals and don't dare to go in. We are standing guard here to prevent other mortals from breaking in and losing their lives." The two concierges explained with fear.

Hou Dongsheng nodded slightly and stepped into Hongshang Hall.

The small courtyard at the entrance is quite normal, but when you enter the main room, it is a gloomy place.

Click, click, click...

Four women wearing cheongsam walked out of the darkness.

These four women are all beauties, but their faces are pale and their eyes are dark, making them look dead at first glance.

Their hands are also as white as jade, but their faces are a little pale. The biggest difference is that they have no feet. Metal hooks protrude from the trouser legs to support them on the ground instead of feet.

Half corpse, half puppet, they were driven by four fierce ghosts whose cultivation was unified at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

If a mortal entered it, just seeing this scene would probably scare him half to death.

Hou Dongsheng has a zombie body, foundation-building cultivation, and a spirit ghost general. He is much stronger than these four female ghosts in the Qi refining stage.

He just looks like a living person.

I saw Hou Dongsheng clasping his fists at the four female ghosts and saying, "Hou Dongsheng, your boss, invited me here."

The four transformed female ghosts surrounded Hou Dongsheng and squatted down to salute.

"Spring green, summer gold, autumn yellow, winter white."

"I've met Mr. Hou."

Although these four female ghosts wear the same style of cheongsam, the cheongsams are different in subtle ways.

Green, gold, yellow and white each represent spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The four female ghosts said at the same time: "The big shopkeeper invites you!"

Hou Dongsheng took a deep look at the four female ghosts of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and then followed the direction pointed by the four female ghosts into the darkness.

Four female ghosts followed Hou Dongsheng like four maids.

The little feet made of metal hooks stepped on the ground uniformly, making a crisp sound.

At first, the road was still housing, but later it turned into a stone wall.

The original stone wall was made of bluestone, but later these stones also changed.

It's like an ink landscape painting painted on the stone.

This is not something painted on, but the material of the stone itself.

These landscape painting stones exude a heavy yin energy. Although not as strong as the yin stones, they are continuous and continuous. Being in the stone path feels like being in a thousand-year-old ancient tomb.

The passage was extremely quiet, with only the sound of the four female ghosts' metal feet poking the ground.

Click, click, click, click...

The female ghost stopped walking.

At this time, Hou Dongsheng was in a stone hall

Black smoke gradually rose up in front of Hou Dongsheng, and the black smoke turned into a human form.

People pretend to be ghosts, ghosts pretend to be people.

It's really interesting.

You are just pretending to be a ghost in front of me. Isn’t this fooling a ghost?

"Hou Dongsheng?" Black Smoke made a hoarse voice.

"Exactly." Hou Dongsheng clasped his fists and bowed.

Hei Yan: "I didn't expect that you have already reached the foundation-building stage. There are too many monks in the Qi-refining stage in the world of immortality. There are millions of them. And the total number of these foundation-building monks in the entire Dibei Continent is only about 50,000. Their cultivation level has only reached

Only in the foundation building stage can one be considered a true person in the world of immortality."

Hou Dongsheng: "May I ask your Excellency what your surname is?"

Hei Yan: "You can call me the big steward."

"I wonder what I call the chief steward?"

Heiyan: "The name is just a code name. Why is Hou Daoyou so persistent? Even your brother Wang Dalong doesn't know the name of my supervisor."

"I see."

Hou Dongsheng: "What kind of stones are used to build this wall?"

"Fellow Daoist Hou also discovered the unusualness of this stone wall?"

"This kind of stone has never been seen before."

"Do you know about the Ghost Realm, fellow Taoist?"

"Of course I know. Is this a specialty of the ghost land?"

"Exactly."

"Does your Hongyun Chamber of Commerce control a ghost domain?" Hou Dongsheng asked tentatively.

"A ghost domain is equivalent to an independent small world. Once discovered, it will inevitably attract the good and the evil to fight for it. We, the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, are just a business organization, and we do not have such blessings..."

"Once my cultivators discover the ghost realm, they will definitely try their best to enslave the ghost king and capture the ghost realm. However, some ghost realms cannot be captured."

Hou Dongsheng: "You are saying that some ghost kings have obsessions that cannot be satisfied."

Chief Steward: "It seems you know a lot about the ghost realm."

"so so."

Chief Steward: "If the human monks cannot meet the conditions proposed by the Ghost King, they can only forcefully break the Ghost Realm and trigger the thunder to kill the Ghost King. After the Ghost Realm is destroyed, nothing will be left. This painting stone is

One of the remnants of the destroyed ghost realm."

Hou Dongsheng: "I see... I'd like to ask the chief steward what the matter is when he asked my brother to call me."

Chief Steward: "We, the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, have 12 pagodas. They are lurking in the 12 sects and provide important information to our Hongyun Chamber of Commerce. I would like to ask if Fellow Daoist Hou is interested in becoming the 13th pagoda?"

Hou Dongsheng: "You want me to go undercover in Tianqingmen?"

Chief Steward: "Exactly!"

Hou Dongsheng: "What benefits will the Chamber of Commerce give me?"

"3,000 low-grade spiritual stones per month."

"Wan Shuyang also received so much?"

"That's right... Wanshuyang is our sect's Yanfutu, and as long as you nod your head, you will be our sect's Yinfutu."

Hou Dongsheng: "I can receive at least 3,100 spiritual stones from Tianqingmen every month, which is more than you."

Chief Steward: "Fellow Daoist Hou...if you include the offerings from the Chamber of Commerce, you will earn 6,100 spiritual stones every month. This kind of income is comparable to a large offering from the Golden Core Stage."

Hou Dongsheng: "With the benefits of the Chamber of Commerce, can I not do anything?"

Chief Steward: "Our Chamber of Commerce is all about being kind to others, and we will never let our Taoist friends choose one or the other. If you feel that it is not worth betraying the Tianqing Sect, then you will not betray them. Our Chamber of Commerce will at most stop worshiping, and we will never do anything for you."

.”

Hou Dongsheng: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters. If Hou takes the spiritual stones of his Taoist friends, he will still be unable to pass his own test if he doesn't help. It's better to do this. Instead of getting the spiritual stones for free every month, it's better to
