Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1288: You Actually Became a Ghost Cultivator!!!

The people at the stronghold, upon hearing Ma San’s words, had originally smiled flatteringly, but their faces instantly stiffened, though they dared not show any displeasure.

They even had to force a smile, mutter a few insincere words, and leave reluctantly.

After all, no one is a fool; some things need not be spoken too bluntly, and this was already Ma San giving them face.

Soon, around the small courtyard, not even a person, let alone snakes, insects, rats, or ants, could be seen; it was as clean as a vacuum zone.

Meanwhile, Yun Ran finally reached a place she had calculated.

Upon obtaining the Heavenly Book Fragment, she had begun calculating which position would be most advantageous to her.

Now that she had finally arrived, Yun Ran began to carefully examine her surroundings, clearly wanting to understand how this eerie cave could be beneficial to her.

The moment Yun Ran set foot into the cave, a blast of Yin Cold Energy rushed straight at her face, carrying a faint rotting smell in the air.

"This damned place doesn’t look like a good place at all."

Yun Ran muttered to herself as she took out a Demon Core for illumination; if it weren’t for the divination, she might never have set foot here in her lifetime.

The entrance of the cave was large, looking like a naturally formed gigantic pit, with no trace of manmade markings on the surrounding stone walls.

’Drip drip...’

In such a dark and chilly place, such sounds would scare the faint-hearted to the point of tumbling down in fright.

But who was Yun Ran? She had been to the Ghost World, which had even heavier yin energy, many times. The Yin Cold Energy here, for Yun Ran, felt at most like a freezer.

The further she went in, the clearer the dripping sound became, yet Yun Ran’s expression did not change in the slightest.

At that moment, the Jade in which Mo Zhi was hidden began to shake uncontrollably, as if it was about to fly out any second.

"Why so excited? Did you find something good?"

When it came to treasure-hunting skills, Yun Ran dared to claim second place, with no one daring to claim first.

But now, she hadn’t discovered anything, while Mo Zhi was so excited she couldn’t even focus on her secluded meditation.

Thankfully, Yun Ran had a generous heart and wouldn’t feel embarrassed if she didn’t discover a treasure that someone else found.

After calmly taking out the Jade, Mo Zhi’s form floated out from it.

It had been a while since Yun Ran had seen Mo Zhi, and now she realized how much Mo Zhi had changed.

Born as a Ghost King, now she had not a trace of ghost energy on her.

"You really have become a Ghost Cultivator!!!"

Only by becoming a Ghost Cultivator can one restrain the ghost energy within.

Now, Mo Zhi was on the same level as the other practitioners of the Xuan Sect.

The Xuanmen people had a natural edge in capturing such evil ghosts, but a contest with a Ghost Cultivator wouldn’t be so one-sided.

Even as a Ghost Cultivator, Mo Zhi remained exceedingly respectful to Yun Ran, not daring to show any disrespect.

"Master, it’s thanks to you that I have reached where I am today."

As she spoke, Mo Zhi was full of gratitude, though sadly, the master was unwilling to accept her. Otherwise, she would have been the most loyal Ghost Servant.

Words of thanks like these, Yun Ran had heard far too many times, casually waving them off.

"This is also the result of your own efforts. If you were useless, no matter how many resources I poured into you, they’d be of no use.

Alright, let’s put that aside and talk about what you just discovered that interrupted your secluded meditation so urgently."

When it came to business, Mo Zhi’s attention immediately shifted.

"During my secluded meditation, I suddenly felt that something was calling me, something very important to me."

Yun Ran nodded.

If that’s the case, it explains why Yun Ran didn’t discover any treasures while Mo Zhi did.

This means the thing was only useful to Ghost Cultivators, and it was normal for a human like Yun Ran not to sense it.

"Alright, you go ahead and scout the road while I survey the surroundings here."

Now that Mo Zhi was a Ghost Cultivator, she could completely take on the former scouting tasks of the Little Paperman.

"Yes, Master, rest assured, I will investigate thoroughly."

Mo Zhi’s form was lightweight, leaving as if blown away by a breeze.

Yun Ran stopped and began to scrutinize the cave’s stone walls and the occasionally soft ground beneath her feet.

Mo Zhi moved quickly and, in the blink of an eye, found the treasure that held a fatal attraction for her.

A transparent little grass emitting a glowing light swayed its leaves like a harmless prey.

Mo Zhi was transfixed; although she didn’t know what this little grass was, her body instinctively told her it was extremely beneficial.

Just as Mo Zhi was about to give in to her body’s instinct to reach out and grab the grass—

Her mind suddenly jolted awake, and Mo Zhi immediately pulled back her hand, then patted her chest in slight fear.

In a place where the master was present, she had almost rashly acted on her own accord; that was a huge taboo!

Even if Yun Ran had no intention of accepting Mo Zhi, Mo Zhi still maintained a most loyal Ghost Servant mindset, diligently serving.

However, the transparent little grass continued to have a deadly allure for Mo Zhi, afraid she might make a mistake, she quickly retreated several meters.

As if this way, she could isolate herself from the influence of the unknown luminous grass.

"As long as I don’t look at it too much, I won’t be tempted. Now that I am a Ghost Cultivator, if I lack even this level of self-discipline, what right do I have to stay by the master’s side!"

Mo Zhi constantly convinced herself, and in the end, she genuinely suppressed the sensation as if something was scratching at her heart.

After no longer looking at the glowing grass, Mo Zhi continued to fly deeper into the cave. The further inside she went, the heavier the cold sensation grew.

The pitch-black cave interior didn’t hinder Mo Zhi’s way forward at all.

This environment was extremely unfriendly to humans but for Mo Zhi, it was very much like her happy homeland.

Suddenly, a beam of gentle light appeared in front, resembling a laser pointer.

When Mo Zhi got closer, she saw that the top of the cave had a naturally formed opening.

That beam of light was moonlight shining through the hole.

Though she didn’t know what it was, Mo Zhi instinctively felt that this might be the place her master was seeking.

From entering to reaching this position, it had only taken a few breaths for Mo Zhi.

But if one were to travel on foot, it would at least take several hours to get here.
