Chapter 60 The Birth of a Ghost Pet
Li Qingchen took stock of his gains this time.
[Ghost Pet Egg: By feeding your own essence blood to a ghost pet, you can form a contract with it. After using a fixed object as a medium, you can begin nurturing it.]
Li Qingchen flipped his hand and took the ghost pet egg, which was the size of an ostrich egg, in his hand to examine it.
Li Qingchen was shocked.
He had assumed he would directly recruit the Ghost General into his service.
I never expected that this thing would need to be developed from scratch.
The egg is translucent, and if you look closely, you can see the Ghost General embryo inside, curled up like a baby.
Li Qingchen bit her finger and dripped a drop of her blood onto the egg.
buzzing-
The ghost pet egg immediately emitted a ghostly green talisman. Li Qingchen looked it over and confirmed that it was a Taoist talisman.
"I wonder which Taoist master was able to turn ghosts into his own."
Click, click.
The ghost pet egg, having absorbed the essence of blood, developed dense cracks, and like a chick hatching, a small skull emitting a faint, eerie green ghostly flame suddenly emerged.
Li Qingchen was amused.
Indeed, all creatures are adorable when they are young.
The surrounding air seemed to drop significantly. The young Ghost General curiously examined the person before him, his eyes... empty sockets filled with doubt.
[Ghost General: In his previous life, he was a Tianwu person with a unique understanding of martial arts. The more fixed objects he possesses, the stronger he becomes, and his growth potential increases proportionally with his master.]
Li Qingchen asked in confusion, "Fixed object? What is fixed object?"
I opened the panel, carefully read the instruction manual, and understood.
"It's somewhat similar to the Buddhist practice of creating a golden statue." Li Qingchen had a general idea in mind.
The palm-sized ghost general, with its skull tilted, continued to scrutinize Li Qingchen.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Li Qingchen tried to ask.
The Ghost General shook his head.
"..."
Li Qingchen facepalmed. This isn't what she meant by "understood"!
"Can you speak?" Li Qingchen asked again.
The Ghost General squeaked and gesticulated wildly, but without a tongue, it couldn't make any sound and could only make random gestures at Li Qingchen.
Li Qingchen asked a few more questions and finally figured it out: this guy's intelligence was no different from that of a child.
Li Qingchen took out a section of sword bone and handed it over.
This sword bone comes from the God of Slaughter, Bai Shou, who once passed by Tu Tu Mountain and was also the creator of the Immortal Slaughtering Blood Fiend Sword Qi.
"Do you want this? I don't have any other good stuff, but this should be a good gift for you."
The Ghost General hugged the sword bone, clattering and gesturing wildly, just like a child who had just received candy.
Li Qingchen smiled and sighed softly.
What's the difference between this and raising a pet?
The Ghost General hugged the sword bone and crunched and chewed on it.
After it finished gnawing on the sword bone, its body immediately underwent obvious changes—the green flames became more abundant, and the hardness of the bones increased significantly.
The little guy got sleepy after eating. Although its head was a skull, Li Qingchen could roughly understand its meaning because of the blood pact.
Oh, it wants to sleep.
"Let's go back."
With a wave of his hand, Li Qingchen sent Ghost General into his body as a beam of green light.
Open the game panel.
The perfumer chased away all the customers, closed the door, took out all the perfumes, and devoutly prayed to the unknown deity.
[Swordsman, the Perfumer has discovered your whereabouts!]
The perfumer has vowed to make you pay! He's posted a wanted poster with a bounty on it in Moon Bay!
Li Qingchen shrugged, completely disregarding the threat. His goal was to eliminate all these monsters and demons, so one more or one less didn't matter.
[You used the art of disguise, and this time you were lucky enough not to be seen through by the True Lord. Perhaps it's because that True Lord doesn't have time to pay attention to a mere lackey right now.]
You stand in Moon Bay Square, a place teeming with greedy individuals eager to claim your head as the bounty.
[You're ready to test the Ghost General's abilities. You summon the Ghost General, and after consuming the sword bone, its height has reached your waist.]
[You see a few lone, greedy individuals. Should you send Ghost General over to teach them a lesson?]
"Go, baby!"
The ghost general, half a person's height, charged forward menacingly!
The Ghost General, after being brutally beaten, ran towards you in a disheveled state, transforming into green light and merging into your body.
The greedy have turned their attention to you.
You drew your sword and fought them. Those greedy ones were no match for you, and they died by your sword.
However, your fight attracted the attention of other greedy individuals, and you are now surrounded by them.
[While controlling your flying sword to slay enemies, you unleash the Wild Horse Galloping Fist, your aura of a hero sweeping across the land. The more you fight, the more ferocious you become, and the greedy ones are terrified by your imposing presence and retreat in disarray.]
Your movements at Moon Bay have attracted the attention of the Unknown True Lord!
You were killed by the greedy followers who came after you!
Li Qingchen put away the panel and summoned the Ghost General.
"Hey bro, what's going on? You're so tough, aren't you? Even a cub can't just take a beating the whole time, right?"
The Ghost General jumped high in anger, clearly feeling humiliated after being soundly beaten by those demons.
It was gesturing wildly with its hands, and we had no idea what it meant.
It wasn't until the little brat formed swords with his five fingers and slashed fiercely at the air that Li Qingchen understood.
"You mean, you're missing a weapon?"
That's true; even an adult ghost general isn't unarmed.
Li Qingchen used his Hidden Aversion Technique to take out a knife, which he had found in TuTu Mountain. It was of mediocre quality and had been gathering dust all this time.
The Ghost General took it, brushed it a few times, and shook his head.
"What's wrong? Didn't you always use a knife when you were alive?"
With a forceful snap, the Ghost General broke the broadsword in two.
"Hey, you spendthrift!"
Li Qingchen understood; this meant they were complaining about the poor quality of the broadsword.
The panel popped up on its own:
[Swordsman, the cultivation level of your ghost pet depends on the effort you put into its training. If you want to nurture it into a true king of ghost generals, you cannot be lenient or perfunctory.]
Now, your ghostly pet needs a suitable greatsword. Will you continue to stall without batting an eye, or will you start thinking of ways to get a real greatsword?
Alright, so the kid wants a designer sword, what to do? Just spoil him, he's my kid!
Li Qingchen checked the warehouse and found that, apart from Frost Silver, there was indeed nothing else.
Li Qingchen planned to summon the master craftsman to see if he had any good ideas.
[You summoned the master craftsman, who, after examining your ghost pet, told you that if conditions permit, he will design a weapon specifically for the Ghost General.]
"Custom-made weapons? That's impressive."
You take out all the valuable treasures from your warehouse, and the craftsman examines them one by one. He then asks if they can be communicated with your ghost pet.
You gave your permission.
[Under communication...]
[Under communication...]
[Swordsman, the craftsman has provided you with some options. Would you like to take a look?]
