Chapter 333 - 106: Five Ghosts’ Pouch Advancement
As he thought of this, he silently fumed.
Not giving the other party a slap was restraint enough.
"Senior."
Chang Wei had an embarrassed expression, tried to speak, but was interrupted by Xiang Xiu’s glance.
"Yes."
"It was my fault today..."
"I’ll leave now, I’m leaving right now!"
He awkwardly smiled, took steps backward, and once he was in the forest, he turned around and ran into the distance, not even bothering with the bodies of the guards in the field.
"Young Master."
Xiang Xiu turned around, showing a look of shame:
"It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have tried to stop Gu Chong earlier."
"Forget it."
Fang Zheng gently waved his hand:
"Pack up, we’ll talk after we leave."
"Yes."
Xiang Xiu agreed.
"Also..." Fang Zheng pondered for a moment and said:
"Since we’ve offended people from the Joyful Union Sect and someone has escaped, it would be better to stay low-key when going to Zhaonan Prefecture, and temporarily not reveal our identity."
"Yes."
Xiang Xiu nodded his head.
......
Deep in the dense forest.
Qin Keqing panted slightly, looking down at her waist.
"Hmm!"
With a push of True Qi, she managed to force two bullets out, which fell to the ground with a ’clang’, leaving two bloody holes.
"Hoo..."
As Charming Maiden’s Strange Skill activated, her flesh and skin wriggled, and the two bloody holes healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving the skin smooth with no scars in an instant.
If not witnessed in person, few would believe such a miracle.
However, this feat was not easy for Qin Keqing, her pretty face turned deathly pale, and her delicate body trembled, her breath becoming extremely weak.
"What a strange weapon, just a slight press of the trigger can instantly shoot out a dozen or more astonishingly speedy and powerful hidden projectiles..."
She bent down to pick up a bullet, looking surprised:
"Unless one has attained a Leakless True Body or practiced top-tier Hard Skill as a Great Zhou Celestial Martial Artist, no one can withstand this little thing."
"Fortunately!"
"This object only has pure penetration power, without any magic or True Qi traits, otherwise, I might not have escaped today."
Putting down the bullet, Qin Keqing seemed lost in thought.
"Such a hidden projectile, why have I never heard of it?"
"Neither the Tang Sect, Mo Family, nor Duanmu Family has anything similar, this person is so strange, and the scent on him, could it be..."
"Interesting!"
She muttered, her expression growing increasingly excited, as if encountering an intriguing prey, her skin flushed with a rosy glow from excitement.
Being a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect, Qin Keqing had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, and gradually lost interest in good-looking men.
Instead, it was the men carrying secrets that attracted her more.
"Rustle..."
A slight sound came from not far off.
Qin Keqing’s expression changed slightly, her beautiful eyes moved, and a light smile appeared on her face:
"Chang Wei?"
"What a coincidence!"
She chuckled lightly, her figure moved like a ghost, silently and swiftly, heading towards the direction from which the sound came.

Nine Provinces under the heavens.
Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu, Jing, Yong, Liang, Yang...
Jizhou’s landscape is vast and traversed by rivers, known for its four prefectures and thirteen counties, with Zhaonan Prefecture situated strategically at the confluence of three rivers.
From a distance, one could see.
This city stood majestically between the mountains and rivers, with the terrain higher in the south and lower in the north, elongated in shape.
Four main gates and two side gates are open throughout the year, like six giant mouths swallowing and exhaling goods, with carriages and pedestrians coming and going incessantly.
"Whoa..."
Xiang Xiu leapt off the carriage, lifting the curtain:
"Young Master, we have arrived. As per your instructions, I’ve found another small courtyard in the eastern district, without contacting Square Porcelain for now."
"Hmm."
Fang Zheng nodded:
"Let’s rest for a few days, no need to rush for other matters."
"Yes."
Xiang Xiu didn’t ask further, dutifully leading the horse to feed and cleaning up the courtyard.
This small courtyard was similar to Fang Zheng’s courtyard at Xielou Lane in Gu’an County, with three main rooms, two side rooms, and a kitchen in the east corner with a latrine.
Everything necessary was there.
Just a bit small.
Entering the house.
Fang Zheng casually cast a Dust-Removal Spell, waving his sleeve to scatter the cobwebs in the corners. In the blink of an eye, the room became clean and fresh.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, taking out the Five Ghosts’ Pouch for a detailed inspection.
Since the five Resentful Souls had all advanced to become Fierce Ghosts, the Five Ghosts’ Pouch seemed to have undergone some transformation, different from before.
This was a perfect opportunity for refinement.
Lightly stroking the Five Ghosts’ Pouch.
The grayish unknown fabric was coarse in texture, the size of a coin pouch, and remained cool to touch even in the scorching heat.
When placed near the ear, one could faintly hear the howls of the ghosts inside.
After briefly pondering, Fang Zheng flicked his fingers, infusing True Qi into the Five Ghosts’ Pouch, which seemed to pulse like a living thing under the stimulation of True Qi.
The next moment.
"Puff!"
The pouch opened, and a jet of black smoke spurted out.
The black smoke gathered in mid-air, forming characters, quietly suspended.
"Hmm..."
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow:
"Ghost Nurturing Technique!"
The Five Ghosts’ Pouch originally contained a Ghost Nurturing method, but it clearly was not as formidable as the one before him, which was more profound and complete.
From determining if a person’s birth characters were suitable and if Feng Shui and Five Elements could gather Underworld Souls, to step-by-step advancement from Underworld Soul, Resentful Soul, to Fierce Ghost.
Even refining into a Ghost King.
It was a complete legacy pointing straight to the Great Dao of Masters.
"Ghost King!"
His gaze lingered on the latter half of the Ghost Nurturing Technique, and even with Fang Zheng’s steady disposition, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his expression grave.
A Ghost King,
Comparable to a Martial Arts Grandmaster or Magical Sage.
One must know, whether it is the Exclusion Sect Leader, Beggar Gang Leader, or leaders of the Six Paths of Demon Heaven, or overseas Rogue Immortals, even Celestial Master Dao and Profound Celestial Dao’s Daoist Lords.
These world-renowned powerful figures, despite their strengths and weaknesses, are still Martial Sects and Masters.
This Ghost Nurturing Technique could unexpectedly cultivate a Ghost King, and it included methods for subduing a Ghost King and crafting an external avatar.
