Chapter 105: Chapter 105 The Mystic Sect’s Tragic Situation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What do you mean? Are you crazy?”
Life was hard enough, yet Chen Yu was still playing with him.
“You don’t have to worry about whether I’m crazy or not.”
“But you have a serious poverty problem.”
“I came for you this time because I’ve taken a fancy to your abilities,” Chen Yu said with a smile.
“Are you interested in working for me? I’ll pay you a monthly salary.”
“You want to hire me?”
The man finally understood what Chen Yu meant by buying him.
“Your nature isn’t bad,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “You’re just trying to earn money, although your methods are a little disgraceful.”
“In order to save money, you’re even willing to dig up human bones to make spiritual tools. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?”
“Hmph!”
“My family depends on me to support them,” the man snorted coldly.
“If I can’t even care about the living, why do I have to worry about heavenly punishment?”
“If there really is heavenly punishment, those who should be struck to death are those rich and heartless profiteers.”
“Especially the owner of the developer of this villa garden.”
Chen Yu smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
While the mystic sects did not fear the wrath of the heavens, this man was a weirdo among them.
A wise saying once stated, it’s easy to drive a hero to death with a penny.
They were right.
The heavens should indeed punish the owner of the villa garden.
This place was a rare Yin energy-gathering spot in the city.
The earth vein here naturally produces a large amount of extreme Yin energy.
If a corpse were buried here, it would be enveloped by a lot of Yin energy.
Gradually, they formed what the people called zombies.
At the same time, the corpse’s soul would be trapped in their body.
Unless someone broke the Yin gathering ground structure, their souls would never be able to reincarnate.
“You seem to know quite a lot about this place.”
“Is it convenient for you to say more?” Chen Yu asked with a smile.
“No matter what, I’ve lived here for more than a year and met many unlucky people.”
“I’ve been working in this field for years and have seen many black-hearted people.”
“This bastard is probably the blackest of them all.”
“It’s fine if he didn’t seek the advice of a Feng Shui master before beginning construction, but when the excavator dug up human bones, the bastard was afraid that reporting it would cause the construction to be delayed, so he threw the bones into the foundation, cemented them, and sealed them. This effectively eliminated the possibility of these lonely souls reincarnating.”
“These wandering ghosts who have been dead for over a hundred years are sure unlucky.”
As a member of the mystic sect, he could communicate with ghosts, although he did not know how to exorcise evil spirits.
He knew a little about ways to avoid ghosts from harassing him.
This place was originally a mass grave, and many corpses were buried below.
As time passed, this place flattened.
The construction began, and the excavator and the pile driver started one after another.
They had unintentionally broken the Yin energy-gathering structure.
Before the ghosts had time to rejoice, the damned, black-hearted owner threw their bones into the foundation and sealed them up.
This action was equivalent to scattering their corpses incompletely.
This was equivalent to someone who died a violent death with an incomplete corpse, which could not reincarnate and was left to drift endlessly.
The man glanced at Chen Yu and asked, “You weren’t joking when you said you wanted to hire me, right?”
Chen Yu didn’t waste words and made an offer. “20,000 a month. There will be a year-end bonus too.”
“I’ll pay you three times your salary during the holidays; gifts are expected.”
The man rolled his eyes when he saw that Chen Yu was serious.
“No.”
Hearing the man’s rejection, Chen Yu asked, “What? Are you afraid that I’ll trick you?”
The man replied with a smug look, “You are a member of the mystic sect, and so am I. If we really fight, it’s still uncertain who will emerge victorious.”
“I’ve learned the complete art of Lu Ban, and I’m considered one of the best among Lu Ban’s successors.”
“In terms of age, I’m old enough to be your uncle.”
“Regarding the craftsmanship of making spiritual tools, I can’t say who’s the best in the country, but I definitely rank in the top three in the province.”
“If you want to hire me, you have to pay more.”
The man’s expression did not change at the mention of “pay more”.
“How much?”
Chen Yu was also rendered speechless.
After explaining so much, all the man wanted was to bargain for his salary.
He was indeed a weirdo.
However, if he wasn’t a weirdo, why else would he live in someone else’s house so openly and take advantage of the bones lying around spiritual tools?
He even started planting vegetables in the back garden.
The bones in these Yin energy-gathering grounds differed from normal human bones.
They contained a large amount of Yin energy and were the best choice for refining evil spiritual tools.
Not long ago, the human bone bracelet worn by Zhou Mengmeng, the chess streamer who called in, was made of the same kind of bone.
This person was its creator.
The Ghost King Mirror used by the pathetic murderer was also this man’s work.
“How much do you want?”
Chen Yu asked.
“No matter what, it has to be doubled.”
The man raised his head with a look as if he were worth the price.
“Haha.”
Chen Yu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“How about… How about just an extra 10,000?”
He was too used to poverty and worried that his “exorbitant demand” would scare Chen Yu away.
He even took the initiative to lower his asking price a little.
“No need; 40,000 it is.”
The man before him had not even touched the threshold of the Aura Refining Stage, but his ability to refine spiritual tools was definitely first-class.
Not only could he help Chen Yu create spiritual tools, but he would also be his errand boy, so why not?
In addition, this person’s nature was not too bad, so spending money to bring him to the good side could also bring him merit.
If he continued to create evil tools, he would suffer retribution sooner or later.
“Hahaha! I finally don’t have to live a hard life anymore.”
The man was so excited that he laughed out loud.
Half-jokingly and half-seriously, Chen Yu asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me why I hired you?”
“Regardless of what it is, it won’t be anything bad.”
The man spoke confidently.
“Oh.”
“How can you be so sure?” Chen Yu asked with interest.
“We Lu Ban Warlocks can also open our Yin Yang Eyes to observe ghosts, demons, righteousness, and evil.”
The man pointed at his eyes.
“I opened my eyes the moment you came over.”
“Although you don’t have spiritual energy, you don’t have evil energy either.”
“It means that you have never done anything evil.”
Chen Yu smiled.
“Listen up; you’ll start working today. There’s no probationary period.”
“I’ve already ferried away the ghosts that gathered here. This place will soon regain vitality, so you can’t stay here anymore.”
“Come with me later. I’ll rent a house nearby for you.”
“You have three tasks in total. First, create spiritual tools for me with the materials I provide.”
“Second, when I need you, you are responsible for running errands for me and gathering information.”
“Third…”
Then, Chen Yu began asking for the man’s name and the methods he usually used to sell his goods.
“My name is Meng Dahai. You can call me Old Meng from now on.”
“Usually, my customers are all referrals from other customers,” said Meng Dahai.
“In the future, if someone asks you to customize an evil tool, you must inform me in time.”
“Hm?”
“You want me to be your mole?” Meng Dahai asked in surprise..
