The saint starts out by traveling around the world with a group of elves.

Ghost means return.

All living things must die, and after death they must return to the earth, which is called ghosts.

What exactly a ghost is is actually not important. In the pan-world, ghosts are the souls of the dead, poor creatures who cannot rest in peace; in the wild world, ghosts are the spirits of ancestors, revered by later generations; and on Blue Star, ghosts are feudal superstitions, and no one has ever really seen a ghost.

So it doesn’t really matter how ghosts are defined. You just need to know one thing: the ghosts in the ancient world cannot eat candied haws.

In fact, in the Tiangu Realm, all the flavors of the world, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, are basically out of your reach from the moment you become a ghost, so it is no wonder that there are no candied haws for sale in the Fuyun Ghost Market.

But this is the order of Sword Saint Xilin after all. There are no candied haws for sale in Fuyun Ghost Market, so the deputy elder has to set up a stall himself and become a candied haws vendor.

I don't know where they got this small cart that is specially used to produce candied haws. It is made of the finest fir wood, and every piece of wood is brushed with tung oil, giving it a full sense of age.

A large pot was boiling with boiling syrup, the ingredients for making candied haws, but there were only red mountain residues, and there was no trace of chopped apples or pears.

Obviously, the candied haws that Chu Yi makes and sells on the spot, like this cart, focuses on a tradition.

"Brother Chu Yi, let me help you!"

It was a rare thing for the deputy elder to set up a stall to sell candied haws, but the first people to come up to him were not the elves, but Shaoyao, who looked eager to try.

As the elves' royal cook, there is no way I could just stand by and watch while she was making candied haws!

"No need, it's just a candied haws, I can do it, Shaoyao, can you help thread the slag?"

Chu Yi did not agree, but still assigned some tasks to the enthusiastic little cook. It was really impossible to make the candied haws and peony. In a sense, the candied haws that could taste both human and ghost flavors no longer belonged to the category of cooking.

So you still have to do it yourself.

"Okay, let's try it."

Roll the hawthorns in the syrup that has been boiled to just the right consistency. There is no need to wait for the syrup to cool down, you can eat it directly.

"Hmm~! But Shaoyao is busy now, she is wearing hawthorn~!"

Shaoyao blinked playfully. Chu Yi laughed and fed the candied haws in his hand into Shaoyao's slightly open mouth.

"Ah~! It's so cold!"

Don't doubt the little cook's teeth. She can bite a candied haws ball with a slight bite, and it makes a crunching sound. But it's strange, it's obviously freshly-baked candied haws, but it tastes sweet and cool when you put it in your mouth.

Xiao Xi was drooling as she watched. Of course, it was just a metaphor. Logically speaking, ghosts should not be able to smell anything, but the sweet scent in the air could not be faked.

"Okay, the syrup will become mushy soon, take Xiaoxi to eat over there."

After the little cook ate the first one, she wanted the second one. After eating the second one, she wanted the third one. But it was not a good idea to keep feeding him like this. A swordsman equipped with a special radar for Chu Yi had stopped bargaining with the ghost merchant and was on the way.

If someone only feeds his own little cook but fails to prepare candied haws for Lord Sword Saint, the consequences will be very serious!

Shaoyao felt a little regretful, but still obediently took a string of candied haws and prepared to feed them to Xiaoxi. Even Huoxuzi got a string, which made him a little flattered.

Whether he likes to eat candied haws or not is another matter. From what he had seen before, Huoxuzi has already classified Chu Yi as one of the peerless powerful beings. It is his honor, Huoxuzi, to get this string of candied haws!

With a pious heart, Huoxuzi took a bite of the candied haws. It was a little hot, but the taste really made Huoxuzi's eyes light up.

Just four words, sweeter than first love!

"Chu Yi, here I come!"

In fact, it was just as Chu Yi expected. Not long after Shaoyao started feeding Xiaoxi, Sword Saint Xilin came over with all the members of the Sword Saint team, and attacked in a mighty way.

Fortunately, Chu Yi has skillful techniques, otherwise he would be too busy to handle it all at once!

"It's so cold~!"

"Hmm~! It's even more delicious than what we bought this morning. You are worthy of being the deputy elder!"

"Yes, the deputy elder is really amazing!"

"..."

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether a product is good or not with just one try. Chu Yi is not bragging. Although the method of making candied haws is simple, it is still a skill after all. And considering his level, even if the ancient Greek god in charge of making candied haws came, he would feel ashamed and admit defeat!

So when faced with the huge praise from the little kids, Chu Yi accepted it with peace of mind.

When the little ones were satisfied, Elder Fu Fu also took the arm of her goddess and walked over slowly. Looking at the calm Chu Yi, Elder Fu Fu's beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and charm.

The goddess was not good at expressing her emotions. She just tilted her head and stared at Chu Yi quietly without blinking, as if she couldn't see enough.

By the time the two specially made straw targets were filled with candied haws, the hawthorns and syrup were just used up. He turned off the fire and put the pot away. Chu Yi took out a sign and stood it in front of the stall. Then he took two strings of candied haws and went to find his own Elder Fu Fu and the Goddess.

"An interesting story in exchange for a string of candied haws?"

Xiao Xi flew over, looked at the powerful line of words on the sign, and subconsciously read them out loud. The ghost vendors who had been standing on tiptoe and watching carefully from the periphery started discussing it.

It can be seen that they really want to taste the candied haws.

"My dear guest, are you telling the truth?"

A young ghost with only half of his body left, wearing a set of tattered armor, walked over. The rules of the Fuyun Ghost Market are strict. No ghost is allowed to provoke or cause trouble to any living person under the illumination of the soul-guiding lamp, otherwise the soul will be scattered!

Of course, even if there was no such rule, these ghost vendors would not dare to have any bad intentions towards Chu Yi and the others. Putting aside the elves who had just been generous, the candied haws-making technique that could allow ghosts to experience the flavors of the human world again was enough to explain a lot of things.

"Of course, no one is cheated."

Chu Yi did not look back. He was busy feeding Elder Fu Fu and the Goddess and had no time to spare for the time being.

The rest of the elves also came closer, and even Shaoyao showed interest. This was a genuine ghost story, without any watering down!

"Hurry up and tell me, I'm listening~!"

The most curious person is none other than Sword Saint Xilin. Although Chu Yi did not entrust her with the important task, Sword Saint Xilin, who has a very high ideological awareness, has naturally taken on the important task of judging whether the story is interesting.

The young ghost with half of his body missing glanced at Chu Yi. Seeing that Chu Yi had no objection, he thought for a moment and then began to slowly tell his story.
