chapter 14
Li Yi was sinking into a deep sleep, completely unaware of the changes occurring within his body.
Faint arcs of electricity flickered in his blood, tempering his internal organs.
Golden light shimmered faintly on the surface of his skin-the runes of the Golden Light Incantation were fortifying his physical defenses.
This golden radiance grew from nothing, becoming ever more brilliant and dazzling. In the darkness of night, Li Yi’s body seemed to transform into a blazing furnace, shining resplendently.
He looked like a golden figure forged from pure gold, or perhaps a deity manifesting in the mortal realm.
The pores all over his body greedily absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy as if breathing.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, Li Yi’s height increased, his muscles grew firmer, and his hair lengthened.
By the time he opened his eyes, it was already daylight.
That sleep was truly refreshing!
Li Yi stretched lazily, walked to the mirror as usual to wash up, but froze the moment he saw his reflection. Who was this handsome guy?
Why did he look so familiar?
It was actually himself.
Li Yi’s eyes widened. He lowered his head-his skin was smooth and fair as jade.
Yet he didn’t appear effeminate; his figure was tall but not thin, solid muscles covering his body, exuding a sense of power.
Every movement carried a heavy strength.
A single punch could produce a sonic boom.
And that face-sword-like brows and starry eyes-was flawless.
With such a face, if he were in his previous world before transmigrating, charming seventeen or eighteen rich ladies would be a piece of cake.
Li Yi narcissistically tossed his hair. Overnight, it had grown longer, covering half his eyes. Tied up with a hairband, he now had an ethereal aura.
So, who would be lucky enough to be conquered by this master today?
After tidying up, Li Yi opened his Live Streaming Room, and instantly countless barrage comments flooded in.
[“Grandpa, the Live Streaming Room you’ve been waiting for is finally live today! Damn, who’s this handsome guy? Where’s our Streamer?”]
[“Whoa, how did the Streamer get even more handsome overnight? Is this something beauty filters can do?”]
[“Ahhh, I love the Streamer even more now!”]
“Hello everyone, the Spirit Binder is me, I am the Spirit Binder. Welcome to Spirit Binding Live Stream-I’m Li Yi, the most handsome master on the entire internet.”
Facing an audience of a hundred million, Li Yi spoke shamelessly, neither blushing nor skipping a beat.
As a powerful cultivator with twenty years of Master’s Cultivation, and the supreme inheritance of the Mount Longhu lineage, he felt it necessary to be a bit arrogant.
If you’re not bold in your youth, are you really young?
On the barrage: [“Where does the Streamer plan to catch ghosts today? Surely not all the Fierce Ghosts in Shen City are gone?”]
“Hehe, how about we make a bet? Do you believe that if I pick a random direction, Fierce Ghosts will come to me automatically?”
Li Yi said mysteriously.
[“Streamer, don’t brag. If you can see ghosts just by picking a random place, I’ll do a live handstand and eat shit on the spot.”]
Whoa, are viewers these days really this hardcore?
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled-he liked such bold people.
A handstand and… he’d never seen such a spectacle before.
“Alright, let me show you what I can do today.”
Li Yi formed hand seals, his expression instantly turning serious.
“Between earth, humans, spirits, ghosts, demons, and gods-no delusion, no joy, the supernatural reveals itself.”
“Yin-Yang Eyes, open!”
With the Daoist technique completed, Li Yi’s pupils suddenly transformed into sharp vertical slits, tinged with gold, resembling the eyes of some kind of scaled creature.
This was precisely the reward he had received from the Novice Gift Pack-Yin-Yang Eyes-which allowed him to see things invisible to ordinary people, such as the traces of Fierce Ghosts.
As soon as the Yin-Yang Eyes opened, the world before him changed instantly.
Soon, he discovered traces of the Fierce Ghost.
“To the brother who wanted to livestream earlier, let me know the platform later. I’ll bring my brothers over to liven things up for you.”
In Li Yi’s eyes, at the center of a crossroads, resentment surged-a clear sign of a Fierce Ghost running rampant.
Bullet screen: [“Streamer, stop exaggerating. There can’t be so many Fierce Ghosts in this world.”]
Li Yi didn’t respond. Instead, he walked straight to the crossroads he had seen earlier, patrolled for a bit, and finally found a coin under a stone at the center of the road.
It was a coin, but more accurately, a Ghost Coin-a Hell Banknote meant to be burned for the dead.
On the Hell Banknote, two eerie paper figures grinned, as if mocking the one who picked it up.
Flipping to the back of the Hell Banknote, there was a row of childlike scrawl: “You took my money, leave your life behind.”
Suddenly, a cold wind swept through the crossroads. Even with Li Yi’s constitution, he felt a chill to the bone and quickly activated the Golden Light Incantation to resist.
[“Streamer, don’t pick it up! That’s the Fierce Ghost’s Life-for-Money!”]
[“It’s over, it’s over. The streamer took the ghost’s money, now he has to leave his own life. He’s doomed.”]
The viewers in the Live Streaming Room gasped as they saw the writing.
They recalled the recent Fierce Ghost incident, codenamed Life-for-Money.
The Fierce Ghost would randomly leave Ghost Coins at crowded intersections.
Anyone who picked up the money would eventually be taken away by the Fierce Ghost, dying a miserable death.
In the end, even a master from the Spirit Bureau, refusing to believe in the curse, collected a whole suitcase of Hell Banknotes and hid in the Spirit Bureau headquarters, never leaving.
Yet even so, right under the noses of all the Spirit Bureau members, that Spirit Binder was still killed-the Fierce Ghost twisted his neck.
From start to finish, no one ever saw the Fierce Ghost.
Silent and invisible, like a nightmare.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. It’s just a Fierce Ghost. I can suppress it with a flip of my hand.”
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the Live Streaming Room, Li Yi quickly spoke to ease the mood.
But at that moment, from the viewers’ perspective, a figure in a red dress appeared behind Li Yi-long hair covering her face, feet floating above the ground.
Fans hurriedly sent bullet comments to warn him.
[“Streamer, be careful! The Fierce Ghost is right behind you!”]
[“Holy crap, Blood-clad! That’s a Blood-clad Ghost, an almost unsolvable event.
No wonder so many Spirit Binders from the Spirit Bureau couldn’t stop the Fierce Ghost from killing. The streamer is really unlucky.”]
[“Rest in peace, no offense intended.”]
The Live Streaming Room was flooded with the same message, making Li Yi’s face darken. Did these people really think he’d die at the hands of the Fierce Ghost?
He slowly turned his head. A blood-red figure stood solemnly behind him, with no shadow beneath her feet.
Blood-clad Ghost.
The apex of Fierce Ghosts in this world. He wondered how many rounds of electrotherapy she could withstand.
Li Yi stared at the Female Ghost, muttering under his breath.
The next moment, the System’s notification sounded.
“Ding! As a rookie, you’ve encountered the most powerful type of supernatural entity in this world. You decide.”
“Option One: Clench your fists and fight. Task reward: one Golden Nanmu Coffin, which can stiffen a corpse.”
“Option Two: Kneel and beg for mercy. Task reward: one handmade Shroud, which can turn a dead soul into a ghost.”
Three: Sacrifice others to save yourself. Task reward-
