The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 328 - 326: The Wheel of Fortune Turns

Chapter 328: Chapter 326: The Wheel of Fortune Turns

"He could disguise himself as a human and then go to a funeral shop to buy Joss Paper and other things we need, and then burn them for us to use."

A ghost pointed toward the returning leader of the Evil Ghosts.

"Why don’t you just steal them directly?"

"That makes sense, why don’t we steal?"

"Yeah, stealing doesn’t harm humans, it seems like no big deal."

"But we don’t have enough cultivation, we can’t touch things in the Human World. How could we steal?"

"Then let him steal."

Hearing the discussion of the ghosts, the Evil Ghost gave them a sidelong glance, "Why should I steal for you for nothing? You’re not my kin, just my subordinates. Should I also steal to support you?"

If it was like this, what’s the point of having subordinates?

With a roar from the Evil Ghost, the other ghosts fell silent.

Most of the money earned from selling skincare products was spent by the Evil Ghost to buy things that ghosts could use. Of course, the things he burned for himself were better than those for his subordinates.

That’s the meaning of being a boss, otherwise why would he bother having subordinates?

"The time you’ve been making skincare products isn’t long, those humans who bought them haven’t been using them for long.

Now that they’ve stopped using them, once the ghost energy dissipates from their bodies, their health should slowly improve.

You other ghosts can scatter for now. I won’t pursue this matter for the moment, but you, stay behind."

Qin Zhao looked at the leading Evil Ghost who had organized the money-making scheme.

The other ghosts heard Qin Zhao wasn’t pursuing the matter and quickly scattered.

Just as they left the building, Qin Zhao’s voice rang out nearby, "Don’t harm people again, I’m in charge of this area. If any of you make a mistake, I’ll find out immediately.

You wouldn’t want to experience your souls being scattered, would you?"

The ghosts shuddered inside, hastily replied they didn’t want to, and then quickly left. Their cultivation was low; without the organization of the Evil Ghost, they couldn’t stir up much trouble.

"Master, I... I..."

The remaining Evil Ghost, realizing Qin Zhao was staring at him, was extremely nervous. He was almost unable to control his Illusion Technique, involuntarily revealing a gruesome deathly appearance.

"I will never dare to harm people again! Please release me!"

Qin Zhao didn’t say whether he would release him or not, but asked, "What is your name?"

"Xiang Tiansheng."

"How did you die?"

"I was accidentally killed during a fight. After I died, I found out that the man was my wife’s lover, and she had intentionally arranged for him to kill me."

Xiang Tiansheng showed a world-weary look.

Fortunately, both of those people were caught and put in prison, otherwise, he would’ve frightened them to death.

When he first died, he was filled with resentful energy, but later encountered some opportunities and become an Evil Ghost. His parents died without leaving any children, so after his death, no one was there to offer sacrifices to him.

A Netherworld Envoy had visited him, asking him to be reincarnated in the underworld, but as an Evil Ghost, he enjoyed life more than a regular ghost, so he didn’t want to reincarnate as a human.

Thus, he stayed back, not harming anyone’s life. However, with no offerings, his soul grew weaker, and he could only think of this method to earn money to buy things for offerings.

The skincare products they made included spiritual grass he had found by chance, which, after use, made human skin improve significantly.

Ghosts’ substances can’t be directly given to humans; they needed a medium to transfer them. Corpse Oil is a substance between the living and the dead; dissolving spiritual grass in Corpse Oil, they could then provide the skincare products for human use.

"Master, the offerings I’ve earned recently are enough, and I definitely won’t do bad deeds in the future. Why don’t you take me in, and I’ll help you keep an eye on the ghosts here?"

Qin Zhao did not reply immediately, which made Xiang Tiansheng’s heart exceedingly uneasy.

He suddenly hugged Qin Zhao’s legs, passionately saying, "Master! If anyone does something bad, I’ll tell you immediately! Please give me a chance to reform!"

Qin Zhao’s lips twitched, and she kicked him out with one foot.

"How long have you been dead?"

"Twenty years! I know most of the powerful ghosts around here!"

After all, he was an Evil Ghost and only paid attention to those ghosts who were stronger than him to avoid getting into trouble. Xiang Tiansheng couldn’t care less about the weaker ghosts.

"Is there an abandoned Daoist Temple in Shijing Mountain where an Evil Ghost resides? Do you know him?"

"The ghost of the Daoist Temple? I’ve never heard of it. But I know Shijing Mountain—it’s a sinister place. Any ghost that passes by there disappears without a trace, probably because of something powerful."

"That’s enough. You can go now. Remember what you said, and don’t you dare do any evil."

"Got it, got it. I definitely won’t!"

Relieved, Xiang Tiansheng swiftly drifted away.

The crowd of ghosts dispersed, and the gloomy building was finally bathed in sunlight.

Xin Huiting, who had initially planned to scheme against them, had been scared into fainting and was lying on the ground. Qin Zhao kicked her a few times, and only then did she wake up.

"Ah! Ghosts!"

Xin Huiting sprung up from the ground, looking around in terror.

She saw no ghosts, only Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong; she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are the ghosts?"

Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong ignored her and headed straight for the elevator.

Although the ghosts were gone, Xin Huiting still felt that the place was eerie and hurriedly followed them.

The elevator was made of reflective alloy material, similar to mirrors.

Xin Huiting saw her face covered in pale green spots and almost fainted again.

"What’s happening? Why has my face turned like this!"

"These are corpse spots. They can’t be removed."

Even though the ghost energy inside her had dispersed, the corpse spots remained. This was the consequence of believing the words of ghosts and recklessly buying skincare products.

Xin Huiting then remembered those terrifying ghosts, "So you mean my essence oil was made by ghosts? What did they use to make it? Why do I have corpse spots?!"

"Of course, it’s Corpse Oil. What else did you think it would be?"

Su Xiaotong looked at her disdainfully. It served her right being cheated by ghosts since she was so morally corrupt.

"Am I going to die then? What should I do? Can’t you save me?"

Xin Huiting looked at Qin Zhao nervously, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

It was ironic compared to her initial arrogance and extortion.

Qin Zhao looked at her indifferently, "I do have a way to remove the corpse spots, but why should I help you?"

Xin Huiting clenched her teeth, "I can pay you!"

Since they had managed to send the ghosts away, they surely had a way to save her.

"Two million."

"That’s so expensive! Why don’t you just rob me!"

Xin Huiting thought for a moment and then suddenly realized,

"Exactly two million! Are you trying to get back at me? I didn’t cheat you. I genuinely spent a lot of money to get this essence oil. Who knew it was made by ghosts!"

Even at this point, she was still full of lies.

"Yeah, I am getting back at you," Qin Zhao nonchalantly said, "If you can’t even afford that much, you better start preparing your own coffin."
