Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 272 Ghost Beast 2

Yibao took the scroll and read it carefully, his eyes finally fixed on the words "ghost beast".

He muttered, "The ghost beast is actually ranked above the ghost creature. It seems that this unheard-of and unseen ghost creature is more threatening than the ghost creature."

"We have Liangshan here. As long as they are not powerful ghosts, they will not pose much threat to us. But ghost beasts are different. They sound like a group of monsters. They should be intelligent, and their numbers are huge. Naturally, the threat is greater than ghosts." Yihuo's analysis was rare and clear.

This surprised the old patriarch and the remaining leopard.

"Since the Youye Palace has sent us this news, it means that the ghost beast has appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains. So we have to send a message to Yixiong and the others, asking them to be careful." The old patriarch put away the roll of paper handed to him by Yibao and knocked on the table.

"I'll go find Lao Liu and ask him to send..."

"No need, I have already passed the message to Tu Lao, and he will tell Yixiong and the others." Xiaocao, who suddenly appeared beside the pavilion, said.

Not long after he started practicing, he sensed the arrival of the Nine Nether Ghost Crow. Just as he was about to show up, he was stopped by Zi Ling who came over, saying that he could not take any risks.

After a little thought, Xiaocao understood what Ziling meant. He really couldn't be idle now because there were too many things he needed to deal with.

Just in case, he had no choice but to sit in on the class.

"Xiaocao, when did you come back?" the old patriarch asked in surprise.

The old man knew Xiaocao and went to the temple through the void passage in the temple.

"I just came back and everything is going well." Xiaocao said as he walked into the pavilion.

"I'm glad everything went well. Come and have some tea." The old patriarch personally poured tea for Xiaocao. He was also a very caring person.

"Wait, why don't I understand?" Yihuo asked in confusion.

Xiaocao did not hide anything and told the whole story about her trip to the temple.

After hearing this, Yibao started to think: "The mountain and river will approve, and the help that they are willing to help, could it be related to the content of the message?"

"It's very likely." Xiaocao murmured.

When he heard the old patriarch and the other two discussing the paper roll, he began to guess about the various miraculous things that Yijiu had described.

If Shang Liangshan were here at this time, he would definitely give them a positive answer.

"It's a troubled time." The old patriarch sighed, looked at Yihuo and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. Prepare some barbecue for us."

"Okay." Yihuo stood up and walked towards the edge of the cliff, almost bumping into Yifeng who was rushing over.

"Boss, why are you here?" Yihuo asked in surprise.

"I came here because I sensed the ghost energy. By the way, prepare my barbecue. I won't be going back tonight."

"Well, you're all the bosses."

The arrival of the legacy will undoubtedly require the message from the Youye Palace to be repeated again.

"Ghost beasts, ghost beasts, just hearing about them makes people feel uneasy, and judging from the news from the Youye Palace, ghost beasts and ghost cultivators are probably hostile to each other." Yifeng frowned.

"It should be the same as the hostile relationship between us and the group of monsters." The old patriarch gave an analogy.

"There's no point in saying more. Since it can't be avoided, let's just deal with it positively. I'll go back first." Xiaocao disappeared on the spot after he finished speaking.

"Xiaocao has worked really hard during this period." The old patriarch said, looking at the shaking chair.

"There's nothing I can do. Things just keep coming up." Yifeng said after taking a sip of tea.

"How are the preparations for the temple consecration going?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the time to come."

"That's good. Tomorrow is the first."

"Chief, it's already past midnight, it's already day one." Yibao reminded.

"Time flies. It's already March. Brother Liu Yu is supposed to come tomorrow. I wonder how much supplies he can bring this time."

"Anyway, I have given him all the remaining money to purchase supplies." Yifeng said with some heartache.

In order to stockpile supplies, he emptied the assets of the Forgotten Township.

"You look like a loser. At this market, you should sell the distilled liquor. As for the boats that you don't need, sell what you can sell, or borrow what you can borrow. Give them to Liu Yu and let him purchase supplies and stockpile them."

"Borrow money? I remember that Mr. Tu brought back a lot of gold ore. Why not let Manager Liu take it out to go shopping?" Yibao said puzzledly.

"The value of gold ore is not high. It has to be refined into gold coins to be valuable." Yifeng shook his head.

"Then we mint gold coins?"

“Only dynasties have the right to mint coins.”

Yibao pondered for a while and said, "Then it's useless for us to keep the gold ore. We might as well sell it and get as much money as we can. Anyway, we have Tu Lao and the others around, so we don't lack gold ore."

"Well, this is a business. Lao Feng, when Liu Yu comes, you can talk to him about this." The old patriarch said in agreement.

"We can discuss it." Yifeng nodded in agreement. There was no point in keeping the gold ore anyway. Moreover, the Shiwandashan Mountains were rich in mineral resources and there was no shortage of gold mines. It was just that there was no channel for coinage and mining technology, and he was too lazy to look for them.

"Get it done, get it done." The Fire Controller used the Iron Eagle to fly to the top of the rock with dry firewood.

Seeing this, Yibao hurried over to help.

The next morning, Liu Yu arrived as promised, bringing a large amount of salt and food.

In the pavilion next to the village, Liu Yu took a sip of wine and said to Yifeng: "Fortunately, we purchased it early, otherwise the purchase price would have been nearly three times higher."

"Is the situation serious?" Yifeng asked with a frown.

"The price volatility was not caused by demons or monsters, but by a war in the north," Liu Yu explained.

"The North? The Northern Barbarians attacked the human territory?"

"Brother Feng, how did you know that the Northern Barbarians attacked the human territory?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.

"Jian Shisan said so." Yifeng repeated the situation.

"Brother Feng, I have a favor to ask of you." Chen Jun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Brother Chen, if you have anything to ask, please speak directly. It's too polite to ask for anything."

"My brother plans to take his family to Forgotten Township to take shelter when the mainland is in turmoil."

"This is a trivial matter. I thought it was something else. As long as you feel that the Forgotten Land is safe, you can bring your family here for a visit." Yifeng's words were very sophisticated. There is a world of difference between taking refuge and traveling.

"Brother, let me toast to Brother Feng." Chen Jun toasted happily, and he had a way out.

After drinking it all, Yifeng talked to Liu Yu about the gold ore.

Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "Brother Feng, if you trust me, you can give me the gold ore to take back and find someone to test the water."

"Of course I believe it. It's settled. Come, have a drink."

"Cheers." Liu Yu and Chen Jun raised their glasses to greet him.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the clouds and gently fell on the brand new temple.

The flying eaves and pointed corners of the temple appear more solemn and mysterious under the reflection of the morning sun.

The temple was filled with curling incense and flickering candlelight. The old patriarch and the elders stood in front of the temple gate.
