Liu Yinglan's eyes sparkled with excitement as she smiled and said, "Oh, friend, you can perform magic too? Show me a trick!"
"Watch closely, sister!" The boy nodded. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers quickly while chanting, "Yin-Yang Separation, the living and the dead part ways. Flash Dance Network, the living do not see the dead, and the dead do not harm the living. Now, open the Yin Eye; let the Living Person see the ghost. Yin Soul Eye, activate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of white mist surged into Liu Yinglan's eyes. She shuddered instinctively and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she noticed a thin grayish-white circle had appeared around her pupils.
Seeing the change in Liu Yinglan's eyes made me furrow my brow in confusion. I thought to myself, "How can this boy open Liu Yinglan's Yin Soul Eye? Who exactly is he?"
The Yin Soul Eye functions similarly to the Yin-Yang Eyes; it is a high-level ghost technique that only Ghostly Beings can perform. However, very few Ghostly Beings are knowledgeable about this technique.
Once Liu Yinglan activated her Yin Soul Eye, she could see the Ghostly Beings around her. However, the Yin Soul Eye has a time limit and typically lasts only for three moments.
The boy wore a genuine smile on his face as he pointed at the Ghostly Beings surrounding the altar and said, "Sister, look over here! I just conjured five people; aren't we amazing?"
Following the direction he pointed, Liu Yinglan indeed saw five figures appear around the altar. The one that caught her attention most was naturally the Faceless Ghost General.
The Faceless Ghost General glared at Liu Yinglan with anger and spoke harshly, "What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Liu Yinglan was startled by the Faceless Ghost General's appearance. She gently patted her chest and said, "Why does this person look so hideous? It's quite frightening!"
Liu Yinglan did not recognize the true identity of the Faceless Ghost General; she thought he was merely disfigured and did not dwell on it further. She turned to look at the boy on the altar and smiled, "Friend, your magic is truly impressive. Do you have any other tricks?"
"Sister, if you like watching, then I'll perform another trick for you." The boy beamed with an innocent smile as he took out two fruits of the Yinling Flower from his pocket—holding one in each hand—and looked at the five Ghostly Beings nearby. He said, "Bloody Wolf, Stinky Wolf, no face; it's your turn to choose. Which one do you want?"
Bloody Wolf and Stinky Wolf were indeed those Millennium Ghost Generals who had previously ventured deep into the forest alone. I glanced over at Bloody Wolf and Stinky Wolf and noticed that his body had become even more robust. Although his cultivation was sealed, I could sense that it had significantly improved and was on the verge of breaking through to the Eternal Ghost King level.
"I want the one in your left hand, the Yinling Flower fruit!" Bloody Wolf exclaimed excitedly, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at the fruit in the child's hand. The reason Bloody Wolf had become stronger was that he had swallowed seven genuine Yinling Flower fruits, which were completely different from the fake tree in the forest.
Faceless Ghost General's eyes also sparkled with greed. Seeing Bloody Wolf make his choice, he spoke up, "I want the one in your right hand!"
The child nodded and tossed the two Yinling Flower fruits to Bloody Wolf and Faceless Ghost General. He then turned to Liu Yinglan and smiled, "Sister, watch closely. One of these two will turn into a bird. You need to pay attention."
After receiving the Yinling Flower fruits, Bloody Wolf and Faceless Ghost General swallowed them without hesitation. Suddenly, a wave of Black Ghostly Aura erupted around them, and their aura began to grow stronger.
"Chirp chirp~~" At that moment, a clear bird call escaped from Bloody Wolf's mouth. His body twisted as he was enveloped by a swirl of Black Ghostly Aura.
"Haha! My fruit is the true Yinling Flower fruit! Bloody Wolf, your luck has run out!" Faceless Ghost General laughed maniacally. He had already digested his fruit and instantly increased his cultivation by two hundred years, contrasting sharply with Bloody Wolf's situation.
"Chirp chirp~~" Just then, the eerie aura surrounding Bloody Wolf dissipated. Where he had stood moments before was now a hummingbird about the size of a buffalo, while Bloody Wolf's figure had vanished.
I looked at the Ghost Bird in front of me, my eyes sparkling with excitement as I muttered to myself, "So this child is the strange person who became that Ghost Bird!"
Clapping her hands vigorously, Liu Yinglan wore an astonished expression and exclaimed, "Wow, friend, you are amazing! You can actually turn people into birds! But what kind of bird is this? Why is it so big?"
The child chuckled lightly and replied dismissively, "Haha, sister, this is just an ordinary bird; nothing special."
He then took out another Yinling Flower fruit from his possession and placed it in Liu Yinglan's hand. "Sister, this fruit is for you. It can bring you good luck; I hope you like it."
Liu Yinglan looked at the fruit in her hand, sniffing it to catch a whiff of its refreshing fragrance. She happily hugged the child around the neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek, saying joyfully, "Wow, is this for me? Thank you so much; I really like this!"
"No need to thank me." The child was taken aback by Liu Yinglan's unexpected kiss. He stood there in shock for a moment before reaching up to touch the spot on his face where she had kissed him, his gaze becoming dreamy.
At that moment, a crack appeared in the Eerie Aura enveloping the third floor, hinting at a potential collapse. I felt the seal within me weakening, and the Daoist and Buddhist Powers in my Dantian were gradually recovering.
"What’s going on?" I glanced at the five Ghostly Beings surrounding the altar and noticed their auras slowly growing stronger. A sense of foreboding tightened my brow as I hurried towards Liu Yinglan, saying, "Liu Yinglan, you've got what you wanted; you should hurry and get out!"
The Faceless Ghost General cast a chilling gaze at Liu Yinglan, then scoffed disdainfully, saying, "Hmph, you think you can hit me and just walk away? You're dreaming! Stay here!"
As soon as the Faceless Ghost General finished speaking, he flickered and lunged towards the child on the altar, not actually aiming at Liu Yinglan.
"Faceless Ghost General, I knew you would try this. You think you can take the Yinling Flower's fruit all by yourself? That's impossible!"
"This fruit is mine; all of you get lost!"
"Chirp chirp~~"
Suddenly, the five Ghostly Beings around the altar flickered and pounced towards the child on the altar. Even Bloody Wolf, Stinky Wolf, who had transformed into a Ghost Bird, was no exception.
