Elder Golden Core couldn’t know why a living human and a dragon had suddenly appeared and then disappeared within the Hell Palace during the recovery of the Ghost Cultivator.

He only knew that the dragon inside was very powerful, but the Human Cultivator lacked the high cultivation of the Ghost Cultivators.

“What’s going on here?

With such low cultivation, how could the Human Cultivator tear through space, enter the Magical Treasure of the Hell Palace, and how could he freely exit the treasure?

Could it be that powerful dragon?

Such a mighty dragon doesn’t seem like it would be kept as a pet.

Could it be a Houyi Dragonkin, contracted with the Human Cultivator?”

Elder Golden Core muttered to himself, but his murmuring was overheard by the disciples practicing within another Magical Treasure, the Soul Summoning Bell.

They had been closely paying attention to the outside, unaware of what had happened to make their master so disheveled, which was uncharacteristic of the Elder Golden Core they were used to.

It seemed they had run into trouble.

“Master, what has happened?

What human and dragon?”

Huang Chen, speaking on behalf of his fellow disciples, posed the question.

“Not only a dragon appeared inside the Hell Palace, but also a Human Cultivator.

We’ve encountered trouble,” replied the Elder.

“What?

A powerful Human Cultivator?

Why was he able to enter the treasure without being summoned by the master?

Is there another passage inside this treasure?”

“Impossible.

Ever since I found this treasure, I’ve been relentlessly repairing it.

Those Ghost Cultivators that are summoned in can’t get out.

None have ever entered on their own accord, only those Demonic Beasts that were inside the treasure continue to breed and grow.”

Elder Golden Core replied with conviction, though this statement might have been more for his own reassurance.

He himself didn’t understand why the human and dragon were able to enter.

“Master, can we still enter to control the treasure?

With the powerful human and dragon there, can we control it given our current cultivation level?”

“This…

If you enter to control the treasure, it could be somewhat useful.

The Ghost Cultivators can be controlled by you and can confront the dragon and Human Cultivator.

The advantage inside is that Human Cultivators can’t withstand it.

There’s a nighttime sucking force from the treasure that one simply cannot resist without Divinity Transformation cultivation.”

“Unless the Human Cultivator at hand has a powerful Demonic Beast to protect them, and has spells to counteract this sucking force.”

“Master, could it be that the dragon has such capabilities?

Otherwise, how could the human inside disappear so easily?”

“That is also within my speculations.

During the daytime in the Hell Palace, there’s a red moon whose rays are very effective for Demonic Beasts but are like kryptonite to Ghost Cultivators.

When the time comes for you to enter, remember to distinguish between day and night for operations.

Also inside, there’s Spirit Grass for Ghost Cultivators to cultivate with, a type of Nourishing Soul Grass with red flowers, growing in the oasis near water sources.”

“Mm, thank you for the guidance, Master.

Are we about to enter the Hell Palace soon?”

“Yes, in two days’ time,” confirmed the Elder Golden Core as he finished explaining and closed his eyes to restore his Spiritual Power.

These days of consecutive spellcasting had even worn out an Elder like him.

In the Huang Family of Immortal Lord City,

Family Head Huang, after several days of closed-door cultivation, finally succeeded in refining the Magical Treasure he desired.

He had created a Magnet Magic Treasure, the Soul Conqueror, primarily designed for attack, defense, and for those with weaker souls to cultivate inside, undisturbed by the outside world.

“Hahaha, my dear child is saved,” laughed Family Head Huang as he flung open the doors of his cultivation chamber, held the treasure in his hands for inspection, then put it back into his Storage Bag.

He knew the significance of the treasure, judging from the behavior of those who coveted the Magnetic Trinkets.

They wanted to possess this material for its functions.

Family Head Huang had to make sure the powerful magical treasure was not known to others whether it was for his family’s use or that of the ghost cultivators.

He needed to securely hand it over to his grandson.

“Family Head, you have been in closed-door cultivation for many days now, how did the artifact refining go?”

Family Head Huang’s wife was visibly anxious.

How could she not be?

The final days of the seventy-ninth day were approaching.

She had heard what the Golden Core Elder had said: in just two days, her grandson’s soul would enter another place to cultivate.

If the soul cultivated somewhere else, it would also be subjected to bullying by other ghostly spirits.

“Haha, my dear, rest assured, your husband has succeeded in refining the artifact.

The magical treasure is ready to be given to our grandson.”

“That’s truly wonderful.

There are just two days left to complete the seventy-nine days, and I was worried about this.”

“You don’t need to worry, my dear.

You know about the protection capability.

Go and tell our son and daughter-in-law to come in.

Let’s keep the others in the family in the dark about my exit from seclusion for now, or even my return.”

“Alright, our son has always kept it from outsiders, saying the Family Head has not returned yet.”

“Hmm, that’s a good approach.

Go and summon our son and his wife here.

I have a few words to pass on to them.

Also, have someone prepare a good meal with fine dishes.

It’s been a long time since I have tasted something good, having been eating Bigu Pills all this while and my palate has grown bland.”

“Okay,” Madame Huang left the room.

She went to instruct the kitchen to prepare a good meal with fine dishes, and also to tell her son and daughter-in-law to come.

She made sure to deal with such important matters personally, instead of delegating them to the maidservants.

The Family Head’s matters were to be kept confidential.

The Young Madam Huang was cultivating in her own room.

Cultivators spend their time in cultivation, except when eating or sleeping.

They have some people to help with chores and don’t employ too many idle folks in their house.

“Daughter-in-law, come to my room.”

The Old Madam directly used a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Her son, the Acting Family Head, had been busy in the council hall these days, with nary a moment’s rest.

He had to deal with every major and minor issue, so much so that he had not cultivated for quite some time.

However, for his son, and so that his father could concentrate on artifact refining, he sacrificed his own time.

Moreover, as the son of the Family Head, taking over the family business was just a matter of time, so it was essential to familiarize himself with it earlier.

It would also help him gain control and command respect from others.

“Acting Family Head, recently the Jiang Family, indeed, has been eyeing us covetously.

And the second-rate Lai Family has been making significant moves, coming up with artifact refining as a business venture to make money.

The Sheng Family is doing the same; they have invented a Transmission Device made of metal, which is unlike any Sound Transmission Artifact we have seen before and seems to be quite profitable,” Elder San said.

An elder reported to the Acting Family Head, having been informed by an external informant.

“Oh, if they have thought to make money by refining artifacts, that’s a good idea.

Our cultivation requires resources, and buying everything costs money.

If there’s a profitable business, we might as well take part in it.”

“But we haven’t invented such metal Sound Transmission Artifacts…” Elder Er interjected.

“We might not have invented such artifacts, but we can take advantage of their resources to do business and make a profit from it,” the Acting Family Head discussed.
