I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

My thoughts trembled slightly, like a slender hand, lightly touching the title page.

After Xu An opened the system mall, he couldn't wait to open the cultivation method of the acquired realm.

It was not until he turned to the last page that he saw several books glowing with golden light.

Among them is Yinting Qi training.

The other books on the same page are Qi Training in the Yang World, Qi Training in Heaven, Qi Training for Divine Positions, and Qi Training for Hundred Demons...

Ignore parallelism.

Xu An quickly checked the price.

"A hundred years of life?"

He sat up in shock while dying of illness.

All the ice feathers on Xu An's body melted.

This thing actually has a lifespan of a hundred years?

What kind of Qigong method is so expensive?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he has the strongest Qi training method in this Yin Court, right?

The gift package for novices given by the system was so great that Xu An was so excited that it took him a long time to recover.

He remembered that in addition to the method, he also had three experience packs.

With a slight movement of his mind, Xu An found the experience pack and chose to use it.

In an instant, a strong chill surged out from his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, and then penetrating his spiritual center.

The body vibrates, and a sense of exhilaration spreads from the tailbone to the scalp.

He unexpectedly broke through in an instant and entered the first level of Qi training.

Not only that, Xu An could clearly feel that this experience pack had overflowed in large quantities, and he was not far from the next breakthrough.

"This comes faster than taking drugs!"

Shocked in his heart, Xu An used the remaining two experience packs without hesitation.

A thud.

It was like thousands of fireworks exploding in my mind.

Xu An's spiritual realm was as clear as water, like the night sky.

A strong chill burst out from his body and instantly filled the entire room, covering all objects that could cling to it with frost, making it look like a cold storage.

With these two approaches, he reached the peak of the second level of Qi training, and was only a step away from the third level.

"Is it so useful?"

Standing up from the bed, Xu An suppressed his excited heart, and with trembling hands, he punched out fiercely.

In an instant, the ice feather mist that filled the room vibrated, and a gap of one foot wide and ten feet long was split open in front of him.

The remaining force caused the water mist on both sides of the gap to surge continuously like a spiral, unable to close for a long time.

The second level of Qi training is so terrifying?

Xu An's breathing was rapid.

Although he couldn't give the earth a middle-parted hairstyle with one punch like Teacher Saitama.

But this power still caused great shock to him, who was originally a mortal.

After all, this is real cultivation.

"If someone at the second level of Qi training has such power, how strong must an innate cultivator be?"

"Going further up, those who open the Purple Palace, nurture the divine fetus, and seize the destiny will truly be worshipped as gods in the human world."

Xu An had been here for too short a time, less than a month. He was just a constable in the mortal world and had no chance to see those who cultivated immortals and became gods.

But now he has also embarked on this path.

The power came too fast, too violently, and too unreal.

After a long time, I calmed down.

Xu An was not in a hurry to use his thirty days of life to exchange for a higher level of cultivation.

He felt that if he kept this thing for now, it would definitely be of greater use later.

Turn over and lie on your side, sleeping with your arms as a pillow.

After living for nineteen years, he finally embarked on the path he had always dreamed of.

That night, the sky was bright with billions of stars. The underworld and the human world were separated by time, and Xu An had a good sleep.

The next day, Wang Ben came knocking on the door early.

Xu An changed into the ghost messenger's uniform, picked up the soul-beating whip, and pushed open the door.

Outside, a large group of ghost officials who had gotten up early like him were looking at the newcomer, and a smile appeared on their pale faces.

There was no time to say hello, they formed groups of two and then dispersed.

There are too many wandering ghosts in the world, little time, heavy tasks, and some are busy.

"Let's go, Brother Xu. Today, you and I must capture at least ten wandering ghosts. Otherwise, if we don't report enough ghosts, our wages will be deducted."

Wang Ben led the way in front, his grimace showing no emotion.

After more than ten years of service, he had been worn down by the tedious and never-ending tasks, leaving only a cold and gloomy aura and numbness in his heart.

"And performance? Are there so many ghosts to catch?"

Xu An was stunned. This was different from what he expected.

What happened to the promise of high pay, little work and being close to home?

"It's okay on weekdays, but when there's a disaster or war, the higher-ups start to treat us like less of a human being and exploit us even as ghosts."

"If you don't want to run around, then slowly gain experience. Above you is a high-ranking yin messenger like me, and the rest of you are subject to unpredictable orders."

The Yin Court is vast and Hou Tu is boundless, with many passages leading in and out of the human world and the Yin Court.

Walking slowly along the small river extending from the Styx, Wang Ben seemed to be talking more than usual because he was teaching new people.

"Unpredictable orders?"

"May I ask, Brother Wang, how long do I have to endure?"

Xu An was stunned. This was the first time he heard about the organization and promotion process of Yin Ting.

"I don't know. To become a top-ranking Yincha, you generally need five years. If you have outstanding performance, you can be promoted early."

"As for the impermanence of orders, each Tongpan only has a few positions under him. If they don't leave, how can you get promoted?"

"Do you know the Black and White Impermanence? Their strength has long surpassed that of ordinary judges, but they have been sitting in the position of Impermanence for more than 500 years in the Yin Court, simply because the higher-ups are unwilling to move."

Xu An was stunned.

He originally thought that this kind of situation would only happen in the human world, but he didn't expect that it would still be like this when he arrived in the underworld.

Damn, I got fooled!

The River Styx is deep and flows quietly and continuously.

After reaching the right node, Xu An and Wang San's ghost bodies shook, and they passed through the chaotic torrent, and then they found themselves in the wasteland of the human world.

That night, under the dark sky, a golden full moon hung high in the sky, casting countless silver rays of light.

In the distance, many lights were flickering among the ruins, accompanied by crying. Xu An could clearly smell the stinking odor of rotting corpses.

"Kong Er, you are already dead. Why don't you return to the underworld and wait for reincarnation? Why do you miss the world of the living?"

While Xu An was still sighing, Wang Ben had already entered the working state.

He strode forward, holding a soul-beating whip and a soul-binding chain in his hands, his pale ghost face full of majesty.

Next to the ruins, in front of the body of a scholar lying on his back, Kong Er's lonely soul was floating.

Seeing the ghost messenger, he was immediately trembling with fear, and said as he retreated:

"No, I'm not dead yet. I haven't passed the imperial examination yet and entered the court as an official. I don't want to go to the underworld!"

"Humph, death is like the extinguishing of a light. Everything in the world of the living has nothing to do with you anymore. Why can't you let go of your obsession?"

Seeing how powerless he was, Wang Ben stopped and turned around and said:

"Xu An, take him down!"

It's my job, and has nothing to do with the main mission.

Although Xu An felt a little uncomfortable, he still strode forward to catch Kong Er.

"Don't come over here, I don't want to go with you, I don't want to!"

Seeing Xu An approaching, Kong Er's face turned pale and he kept backing away.
