Chapter 50: Chapter 50 : VS Ghosts ll
Flower Palace.
"Just as expected from the Heavenly Flame," Yuan muttered as he cut down the last ghost using a sword made of Ten Thousand Beast Flame, which was incredibly effective against ghosts.
Although Yuan faced around twenty ghosts at nearly the same level as him, he easily dealt with them without even breaking a sweat.
"Have you seen enough?" Yuan said as he looked toward a window on the second floor of the palace, where the faint shadow of someone could be seen.
Just like in horror movies, the shadow disappeared the moment Yuan looked in its direction.
"…" Despite witnessing something straight out of a horror movie, Yuan's expression didn't change. He kept looking around, tracking the shadow, which appeared irregularly in different places.
'What a nuisance,' Yuan thought, vanishing from his spot. He was extremely annoyed by this cowardly ghost, which, despite being at the 3rd Spirit Master Level, didn't even dare to show itself to him.
Even though Yuan was only at the 5th Spirit Warrior Level, he wasn't worried or afraid to face a ghost at the 3rd Spirit Master Level. This confidence came from practicing Heaven's Secret Art, which allowed him to possess more Qi than others at his level. Moreover, he had perfect control over his Qi, thanks to his possession of Six Eyes.
With these two major advantages, Yuan was confident in his ability to face the ghost at the 3rd Spirit Master Level head-on.
"But just in case…" Yuan murmured as he pulled out a Ghost Core and popped it into his mouth like candy. Thanks to his Heaven Refining Physique, which allowed him to consume even Demon Cores, he had no problem eating the Ghost Core.

Although the Qi obtained from the Ghost Core decreased noticeably after breaking through to Spirit Master, Yuan didn't care much and continued consuming the Ghost Core like candy.

[200,000 Qi has been refined from the Kuchisake-onna's Ghost Core]

"This feeling is incredible," Yuan moaned in ecstasy, feeling the boundless Qi rising from his dantian. The difference between Spirit Warrior and Spirit Master was immense, making Yuan feel as if he'd been reborn.
[Ding! +5 Levels to Host's All Skills]
[Ding! Fire Immunity cannot be upgraded at this time. The host will receive 1K Skill Points instead.]
Seeing his steadily increasing strength, Yuan smiled faintly. Using Extreme Mirage Lightning, he vanished like a ghost and reappeared behind the ghost at the 3rd Spirit Master Level.
In the original novel, there were no ghosts, so Yuan hadn't expected consuming Ghost Cores to be very beneficial. However, he gained many useful skills from doing so.
[Ding! Superior Regeneration has reacted with Transcendent Stamina (Max), evolving into Perfect Regeneration (1)]
"And now, what should I do with you?" Yuan smiled faintly, ignoring the stream of system notifications, and focused on the ghost in his hands.
"Kyahh!!" The ghost screamed in fear, not expecting Yuan to appear behind her like a ghost himself, let alone grab her by the neck.
"…" Yuan stared at the ghost with interest. As expected, it was a beautiful girl with long white hair and blood-red eyes. Unlike the other ghosts, she wore modern clothes, which was rather strange.
"If you want to live, answer my questions honestly," Yuan said coldly, with undisguised killing intent in his eyes. Clearly, scaring the ghost a bit was the best way to ensure cooperation.
[Ding! The host has gained Killing Intent (10)]
"First, who are you?" Yuan asked, deciding to ignore the annoying system, which had turned into a skill collection mode since entering the Flower Palace.
"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I still don't want to die!!" The ghost girl cried in fear, pleading desperately, clearly terrified of death and not even registering Yuan's question.
'This is the first time I've seen a ghost afraid of death,' Yuan thought with a sigh. Clearly, getting information out of this cowardly ghost girl was going to be exhausting.
