Seeing this system information, Leng Shiqi was secretly delighted. He did not know that he had unintentionally completed the requirements to continue upgrading the Mansion of the Dead.
However, upgrading the Mansion of the Dead required him to spend another 10000 System Coins. This made his heart ache a little because he had already spent 5000 System Coins when he first upgraded the Mansion of the Dead. Now, he only had a little more than 10,000 System Coins left.
He could not help but sigh. Although it was now easier to obtain System Coins, there were still too many things that he needed to spend them on!
However, he still needed to upgrade the Mansion of the Dead. He immediately chose "Yes".
His System Coins were instantly emptied. The Mansion of the Dead continued to expand once again. It only stopped when it was dozens of miles wide. It was already comparable to the size of a city.
All the buildings had also become brick structures. The surroundings were also emitting traces of black gas. The air was also filled with a faint aura of death. There were also more than a thousand souls slowly floating around. If a normal person were to enter this place, they would definitely be scared witless!
At this time, the souls continued to move forward as Leng Shiqi had previously guessed. They stepped onto the Naraka Bridge in front of them!
At this moment, the Naraka Bridge was no longer the tattered little wooden bridge from before. Instead, it was a gray stone bridge covered in fog.
At the end of the Naraka Bridge, there was a small muddy pool. It was this small pool that attracted all the souls. They subconsciously cupped a handful of the pool water and drank it.
After drinking the pool water, the souls would become thinner. It could also be said that they would become purer.
Leng Shiqi stood next to the small pool. "Could this be the legendary Meng Po's Soup?"
However, just as he was wondering, he suddenly realized that he had a slight connection with the souls that had drunk the pool water!
It was as if as long as he willed it, he could disperse their souls and prevent them from entering the cycle of reincarnation!
What surprised him even more was that a new option had appeared in the territory interface. It was called "Ghost Slave".
Drinking Meng Po's Soup meant that you had cut off everything from your previous life. From then on, you would be under the control of Leng Shiqi, the Master of the Mansion of the Dead. He could decide the fate of these souls at will!
For example, he could turn souls into his own ghost slaves for his own use.
With the current level of the Underworld, the Leng Shiqi can only have two ghost slaves at most, and the strength of a ghost slave is closely related to its cultivation when it was alive.
After learning about this, Leng Shiqi immediately found Li Zhangtao's ghost. He tapped his finger lightly and a black light entered Li Zhangtao's soul.
Immediately, Li Zhangtao's body was surrounded by black gas, which formed a set of ragged clothes. There was a large word "slave" on his chest.
His originally sluggish expression became somewhat ferocious. In the end, he walked up to Leng Shiqi with a pious expression and knelt down heavily.
"Greetings, Nether Lord."
Leng Shiqi looked at this unparalleled Unity of Heaven and Man expert who was now kneeling in front of him. He whispered, "Li Zhangtao, if you are alive, I will end your life. If you are dead, you will still be a slave.
I have no deep enmity with you, but unfortunately, you and I have our own masters, so you can't blame me. "
However, Li Zhangtao didn't seem to understand what Leng Shiqi was saying. He was still kneeling on the ground, motionless.
Leng Shiqi said, "Get up."
Li Zhangtao stood up shakily. At this time, Leng Shiqi noticed that Li Zhangtao, who was now a ghost slave, was emitting an aura that was equivalent to a spirit cultivator in the Spirit Pulse Realm. In terms of strength, it was greatly reduced.
However, he also found some characteristics of ghost slaves from the system's information. Ghost slaves can also leave the Underworld to carry out activities, but they can't be too far away from Leng Shiqi.
Moreover, ghost slaves also have various strange abilities. For example, normal people can't see them with the naked eye. They can also possess other people's bodies. They are very similar to the "ghosts" in Leng Shiqi's ghost stories from his previous life.
Leng Shiqi touched his chin. Although Li Zhangtao, this ghost slave, was not strong, he had some special abilities. If used well, it could have unexpected effects.
At this time, the system's information popped up again. "Ghost slave transformation successful. Please name the ghost slave."
"I still need a name?"
Leng Shiqi was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that Li Zhangtao was no longer Li Zhangtao after drinking Meng Po's soup. It was only right to change the name.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call him Li Gui."
"Naming successful."
Li Gui seemed to have sensed it. He knelt on the ground again, as if he was grateful to Leng Shiqi for naming him. However, he seemed to be unable to speak. He could only make weak "wu wu" sounds.
Leng Shiqi gently waved his hand and a force pulled Li Gui up. "Li Gui, when I'm not in the Underworld, I'll leave this place to you to patrol. Don't let other ghosts cause trouble."
When Li Gui heard this, his head immediately nodded like garlic.
Next, Leng Shiqi walked directly to the gate of Fengdu City. He did not transform another ghost slave.
Li Zhangtao, a master of the Oneness of Heaven and Men realm, was turned into a ghost slave, so he only had the power of Spiritual Pulse realm left. Then, other masters of the Gang Spirit realm would be even weaker, so they would not occupy a place of ghost slave.
He walked to the gate of Fengdu City, where the conditions for the next upgrade of the Underworld were displayed.
"The current level of the territory of the Underworld: Tier 2."
"Conditions for the upgrade of the territory of the Underworld:
1. Recruit two members of the Underworld, 2/2.
2. Collect three thousand souls, 03000.
3. 20000 System Coins. "
Seeing the conditions for the upgrade of the Underworld from Tier 2 to Tier 3, Leng Shiqi could not help but rub his head. First, he had to recruit two more members of the Underworld. This was a little easier. He already had a preliminary candidate in mind.
Moreover, he knew that after someone joined the Underworld, he could control their life and death at any time. As a result, the range of people could be expanded. Therefore, the first condition was relatively simple.
As for the second condition, it was a bit of a headache. Because he originally had more than a thousand souls, but that did not count!
Besides, if there were no disasters or difficulties, where could he get so many souls? Did he have to start a massacre himself?
There was also the last condition. It was very simple and clear. It required twenty thousand System Coins!
Twenty thousand System Coins was naturally affordable for Leng Shiqi now. However, the Underworld was only at Tier 2 now. He could also see that every time the Underworld upgraded, the cost of the System Coins would double. In the future, this would increase to an astronomical figure!
He immediately felt that he had to tighten his wallet again.
Fortunately, this should be a problem that he would have to consider for a long time. Now, the most important thing was to seize the time to fully recover his Primordial Spirit and mental strength so that he could maintain his peak condition!
Thinking of this, he left the Underworld and closed his eyes to adjust his breath.
