Chapter 765 A Ferocious Ghost
"Hmm? Are you also interested in becoming a blacksmith?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded and answered Yun Gongzhu. "Blacksmithing is really interesting, so I wanted to learn it, and my master gave me these books."
"Who is your master?"
"Senior Tian Huang."
"Huh?" Yun Gongzhu looked at Ling Yun in surprise after hearing that. "I see, no wonder you were able to get Tian Yueling as your future wife; it turns out you are her grandfather's sole disciple."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed bitterly. "In fact, our relationship hasn't gone that far, especially since we don't know each other yet. Even though Aunt Chenxin and the others have handed Yueling over to me, our relationship is still at the starting point, so I still don't know whether we are destined to be together or not."
"Don't you already have many wives? Why are you still thinking about that?" Yun Gongzhu incomprehensibly asked him. "Moreover, no one will dare look for trouble with you if Tian Yueling becomes your wife, as no one will dare go against the Tian Clan, so the relationship between the two of you will benefit you greatly."
"You're not wrong about that, and our relationship will indeed benefit me greatly." Ling Yun replied to her as he nodded in agreement. "However, you don't know me yet, and you don't know my character either. In fact, almost half of my wives are women I've known for years, and the rest are women I've only just met, but we've also spent quite a long time together. As for Yueling, I've only known her for a few days, and I don't like her rude attitude."
"I see." Yun Gongzhu nodded in understanding, as she herself had heard quite a lot about Tian Yueling. "Are you also interested in Nangong Nichang and Qiao Lingzhi? As far as I know, they are the young misses of their clan, so they will definitely be useful to you."
Ling Yun let out a heavy sigh after he heard that. "Senior sister, I am attracted to women not because of their status, nor do I want to use them for my own gain. They are indeed beautiful and attractive, and their status is also good, but I don't have that kind of interest in them."
"What-"
Suddenly, they heard Ling Xiya's exclamation. "Wow! Grilled meat!"
Quickly, Ling Xiya ran to the campfire and grabbed a small piece of grilled beast meat, and she ate it without thinking about the heat. Nangong Nichang and Qiao Lingzhi also did the same as they felt hungry, but Xiao Xiao and Ling Yu'er seemed uninterested in that, and they were more interested in Yun Gongzhu.
"This is delicious, brother!"
"All right, you can eat it slowly, and you guys can rest after finishing it, so we can leave early tomorrow morning."
The three women ate the grilled beast meat with gusto, and Ling Yu'er sat beside Ling Yun while talking to him through the harem connection. 'Don't you want to eat that woman right now? It seems she can't wait to dual-cultivate with you, so you can take her to the river and eat her there.'
'Yu'er is right, husband.' Xiao Xiao chimed in as she sat on Ling Yun's other side. 'Even though she said she doesn't want to have a romantic relationship with you, she's not a bad woman, and she will fall for you after she often dual-cultivates with you.'
Ling Yun shook his head. 'She is not a bad woman, but I don't intend to take her into my harem.'
'Why is that?'
'I just don't like it.' Ling Yun then glanced at Yun Gongzhu before speaking to them again. 'Moreover, I felt something unusual from her, but I couldn't describe it, and I felt a little uncomfortable about it.'
After he said that, Ling Yun stood up as he stored his books, and he immediately went to the river to clean up.
However, Yun Gongzhu only looked at Ling Yun, so Ling Yu'er asked him. "Don't you want to follow our husband? Aren't you impatient to find out his strength?"
"Yes." Yun Gongzhu nodded to her. "Even though I have decided to be his dual cultivation partner, I don't know him that well yet, so I want to hear about him from you guys first, and I'll decide after."
"What do you want to know about our husband?" Xiao Xiao asked her in turn.
"Hmm?" Yun Gongzhu looked at them in turn before saying something to them. "Please tell me anything about him."
The two women nodded to her and began to tell Yun Gongzhu about general things related to Ling Yun, but Xiao Xiao did most of the talking to her because she knew more about him compared to the Ling Sisters, as she had known him since he was born.

Jiao Lu's face looked deathly pale, and she was curled up in the corner of the room in his beast form as her body shivered from the cold and powerful aura that enveloped the village, but her eyes kept peeking at the figures wandering outside the building where she was hiding. 'What the hell are those creatures? Are they the ghosts of those villagers?'
However, Jiao Lu immediately held her breath as soon as she saw a giant figure, and the appearance of that figure was truly terrifying. 'Could it be that this figure is the killer of these villagers? What exactly is that creature? Why did it kill them? Damn it! This is all because of that damn woman! She left me in such a cursed place! I am now trapped among these cursed creatures.'
Suddenly, the giant figure turned towards her, and Jiap Lu could see its blood-red eyes clearly, causing her to tremble even more. However, the figure immediately looked away from her and walked away, which made her feel confused. 'What really happened? Did it really not see me?'
Unbeknownst to her, Zhou Yu had appeared above the sky in the village, and she was protecting Jiao Yu with a void wall, so the giant figure couldn't see her.
"Hmm? I didn't expect to find a heaven-grade ferocious ghost in this village, so it's true that the mastermind behind their deaths were those ghost cultivators from the Gui Clan, but I cannot understand their purpose in doing this." Zhou Yu muttered to himself as he watched the giant figure. "However, I don't need to worry about Ling Yun, and he should be able to deal with this one, especially since his devil soul is stronger. Besides, it will be beneficial for him if he absorbs it, but I don't know what will happen if his devil soul continues to strengthen."

After that, Zhou Yu disappeared from the village again and returned to Ling Yun's side, and she informed him about the presence of the ferocious ghost. Besides, she also explained to him about the Gui Clan, including some of their ghost techniques.
After he heard all that, Ling Yun immediately opened the technique shop in his system, and he wanted to search for techniques related to ghosts, but he couldn't find any techniques. "Do you have any ghost techniques I can learn, Zhou Yu?"
"No." Zhou Yu shook her head at him. "We spirits are never interested in such techniques, especially since they go against our nature. Anyway, I will help you absorb that ferociuos ghost, but you have to think of something for the ghosts of those villagers."
"What should I do for them?" Ling Yun asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Besides being useful for healing, light qi is also useful for purifying, so you can use it to purify them."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun then looked for a related light element technique, but it wasn't in the system shop either, and he remembered about Zhiyu Yushen.
[Why did you suddenly contact me, Yu'er?] Yi Mingxia directly asked him.
'Mom, I want you to talk to Yushen, and you can ask him if he has any purifying techniques.'
[What do you want to do with that technique?] Ling Yun directly explained to her about the mission in the Death Village, and Yi Mingxia gasped in shock when she heard that. [I haven't seen Master since yesterday, and she doesn't seem to be in the Zhiyu Clan, but I'll try contacting her to ask about it.]
'All right, you can try it first, and you can contact me after you get an answer from her.'
However, Ling Yun suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching him after he ended communication with his mother, and Zhou Yu teased him. "This woman apparently cannot wait to dual-cultivate with you; therefore, I will leave you to have fun with her."
Ling Yun only smiled after Zhou Yu disappeared, and he turned to Yun Gongzhu, who was already standing behind him. "Why did you come here, senior sister?"
However, Yun Gongzhu did not answer his question and took off her dress before dropping it to the ground, and she went straight into the river and sat by Ling Yun's side.
'This woman is truly bold, huh?' Ling Yun inwardly muttered before asking her again. "Do you really want to dual-cultivate with me now? I thought you would want to do it after we get to know each other better."
"Isn't that useless?" Yun Gongzhu asked back as she turned to him. "As I said before, I decided to become your partner just for the sake of your Yang Qi, so I don't need to know you any better to do so."
