Chapter 661: Ghost Technique Pavilion (2)
Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing were both newcomers to being Underworld Envoy, so they didn't know many people in the organization. As a result, they found it difficult to obtain the Ghost Technique from other Underworld Envoys.
Moreover, getting the Ghost Technique from other Underworld Envoys required a price to be paid, unless the relationship between the parties was good, and the other party was willing to teach without compensation.
However, neither Yang Haoran nor Xu Meijing had such a friend among the Underworld Envoys.
From their current situation, if they wanted to obtain the ideal Ghost Technique, entering the Ghost Technique Pavilion was the best and most efficient way, but the expensive price made Yang Haoran's heart ache.
Although it was painful, he still decided to visit the Ghost Technique Pavilion because he urgently needed the Ghost Technique to enhance his strength.
"Heh, how do you know so much about the Ghost Technique Pavilion?" Yang Haoran asked Xu Meijing with a smile.
"I also wanted to get some Ghost Techniques to enhance my strength, so I decided to search for related information in the Yin Division's iron book. As a result, I found information about the Ghost Technique Pavilion," Xu Meijing replied.
"Yin Division's iron book?"
Yang Haoran was taken aback at first, then his face showed a mixture of laughter and tears.
"Why didn't I think of using the Yin Division's iron book to search for related information? It's really... really a brain fart."Each Underworld Envoy had two Yin Division iron books, one recording the laws of the Yin Division, and the other containing rich content, recording major events in the Yin Division, and also serving as a communication tool for the Yin Division to issue various orders.
At this time, Xu Meijing was referring to the latter.
Yang Haoran had never thought of using the Yin Division's iron book to search for this kind of information, and if it weren't for Xu Meijing's reminder, he didn't know when he would have woken up to this.
At this time, Yang Haoran's expression was very vivid, and Xu Meijing couldn't help but smile more brightly when he saw it.
"You don't usually look like a fool, I didn't expect to be the one who's blind," Xu Meijing joked.
Yang Haoran didn't know how to respond, and could only smile awkwardly, now he understood why Xu Meijing had been so incredulous when he didn't know about the Ghost Technique Pavilion earlier. If he were in Xu Meijing's shoes, he would have been equally surprised.
Xu Meijing had known about the Ghost Technique Pavilion for a long time, but because he was short on funds, he didn't dare to enter, as the cost of entering the Ghost Technique Pavilion was really too high, and without a solid financial backing, it was impossible to afford. The matter of cultivating Ghost Techniques had been put off for so long that it was almost forgotten.
"Let's go, we'll take a look at the Ghost Technique Pavilion. We shouldn't waste time here," Xu Meijing said with a smile, without continuing to tease Yang Haoran.
Now that they had soul pills, both self-made and obtained from the underworld, and compared to before, they were much richer, and with the current situation, they really needed to cultivate some powerful Ghost Techniques to enhance their strength, so Xu Meijing decided to visit the Ghost Technique Pavilion.
Yang Haoran had already made up his mind, so he wouldn't refuse, and under Xu Meijing's lead, the two of them hurried to the Ghost Technique Pavilion.
Their speed was very fast, and they didn't waste any time on the way, so they soon arrived at the Ghost Technique Pavilion, looking at the unique three-story pavilion in front of them, they stopped in their tracks.
At the entrance of the Ghost Technique Pavilion, there were two statues of human-bodied ghosts, each holding a long spear, with a fierce and evil expression, looking like they could come to life at any moment.
These two statues didn't have any signs of life or Yin Qi emanating from them, but Yang Haoran had a feeling that these two statues were not as simple as they seemed.
After taking a closer look at the two statues, Yang Haoran shifted his gaze to the entrance of the Ghost Technique Pavilion.
Under his gaze, the main gate of the Ghost Technique Pavilion was constantly bustling with Underworld Envoys from the mortal world and ghost attendants from the underworld, with a large number of people coming and going, exceeding his expectations.
"A place with such high consumption, and yet there are so many people coming and going. It seems that it's not all Underworld Envoys who are poor, but rather just us," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Are we poor now?" Xu Meijing didn't explain much and directly asked back.
"Poor, of course we're poor, but at least we're a bit better off than before." Yang Haoran responded with a smile.
"Yeah, we're just a bit better off than before, that's all." Xu Meijing smiled and said.
In reality, both of them knew whether they were poor or not. Before they had the soul-refining cauldron, they were indeed very poor, but after getting it, they completely turned their fortunes around. Although they couldn't compare to the extremely wealthy big shots in the Underworld Envoy, they were definitely not ordinary Underworld Envoys.
The only thing was that the soul-refining cauldron was a secret shared by the two of them, and neither of them mentioned it, instead pretending to be very poor.
What they didn't know was that the Ghost Technique Pavilion wasn't usually this lively. The threshold was too high, and the soul pills were too precious for the Underworld Envoys, so many of them would rather obtain Ghost Techniques through other means than come to the pavilion.
The main reason it was so lively now was that the outside world had changed, and they urgently needed powerful Ghost Techniques to enhance their strength. Additionally, the Yin Division had issued ten soul pills to each Underworld Envoy this time, so they had more resources than usual, making the pavilion more vibrant.
"Is photography allowed inside?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Yang Haoran's sudden question made Xu Meijing think for a moment before understanding what he wanted to do.
In her opinion, Yang Haoran definitely wanted to use his mobile phone or other camera equipment to take as many photos of the Ghost Techniques as possible within the limited time, and then slowly cultivate them, so as to achieve more with minimal cost.
"I know what you're thinking, but you'd better give up on that idea, because photography is not allowed inside. If you're caught, you'll lose the qualification to enter the Ghost Technique Pavilion forever, and might even face other punishments depending on the severity."
Yang Haoran smiled awkwardly, and Xu Meijing was right - he had indeed planned to use photography to take out as many Ghost Techniques as possible, but now he had to give up on that idea, as the punishment for getting caught was not worth the risk.
"Photography is definitely not allowed, but there's another method we can use." Xu Meijing smiled and said.
Hearing that there was still a way out, Yang Haoran's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What method?"
"It's very simple - we'll separately remember different Ghost Techniques within the limited time." Xu Meijing smiled and said.
Xu Meijing didn't explain further, but Yang Haoran already understood her meaning. Xu Meijing's idea was simple - after entering the Ghost Technique Pavilion, they would separately remember different Ghost Techniques, and then after leaving, they would teach each other the techniques they had remembered, so both of them could get the techniques for free.
"Hehe, that's a good method, but is it officially allowed?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"This method is actually just Underworld Envoys privately teaching each other Ghost Techniques - what's not allowed about that?" Xu Meijing smiled and asked.
"Hehe, you're right, so let's do it that way. But, are we going to stay on the first floor or enter the second floor this time?"
Yang Haoran smiled and asked for Xu Meijing's opinion.
He only mentioned the first and second floors because the costs for those floors were still acceptable, but the third floor was not something he could afford now.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford the soul pills, but rather that this method was too flashy, and before reaching a certain level of status, it was better to keep a low profile to avoid being targeted, or else they wouldn't know how they'd die.
"The first floor only has ordinary Ghost Techniques, which are not very powerful, so I think we should go to the second floor." Xu Meijing thought for a moment and responded, similar to Yang Haoran, not considering the third floor of the Ghost Technique Pavilion.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's enter the second floor."
Yang Haoran smiled and responded, then followed Xu Meijing into the Ghost Technique Pavilion, without stopping on the first floor, and directly went up to the second floor.
