Chapter 1141: Chapter 1140: The Female Ghost in the Recording Orb

"Is that so?" Lu Yang took the Recording Orb, finding it somewhat interesting.

"I heard about these Recording Orbs at the black market and bought one." As a leader in the Recording Orb industry, the Qiongqi Clan was very interested in any changes to the Recording Orbs.

"Do all women ghosts who see the Recording Orb suffer misfortune?" Qinghe closed her book and came over.

"It sounds like a Curse Technique that can lower your luck for a period," Qinghe said, her knowledge of curse techniques was profound.

"The process of casting a curse technique is complex, the minimum requirement being to see an item in full view. It shouldn’t be possible to cast curse techniques using a Recording Orb, so it must be Wei creating a massive amount of these orbs with projection effects, turning the images three-dimensional, meeting the minimum requirements," Qinghe analyzed earnestly.

Previously, the Recording Orbs displayed flat images, but now they showed three-dimensional ones.

It was the first time Ao Ling and the others heard that Recording Orbs had such capabilities; they gathered around to watch, holding sugar paintings made by Yun Mengmeng and licking them occasionally.

Lu Yang placed the Recording Orb right in front, channeled Spiritual Energy into it, and the women unfolded like a peacock spreading its feathers, watching intently.

The orb projected a three-dimensional image, accompanied by the eerie sound of an erhu, and an old, dry well appeared before everyone, followed by a disheveled female ghost climbing out, soaking wet with water dripping from her hair and clothes.

As the erhu sound became more and more terrifying, more and more of the female ghost emerged.

Finally, with a clang, like a string of the erhu had snapped, the female ghost abruptly looked up, revealing a ghastly pale face!

Then the wind howled, candles flickered, brightening and dimming intermittently.

Everyone watched the female ghost intently.

The female ghost was puzzled; this reaction wasn’t right. Normally, by now, the people who saw her would have been scared into fleeing everywhere or attempting to turn off the Recording Orb but unable to, and just smashing the orb altogether.

"Awooo—awooo—" The female ghost bared her teeth and clawed at the air, trying to scare everyone.

"Is that it?" Yun Mengmeng was still expecting more, but discovered the female ghost had no further moves, just baring teeth and clawing, not frightening at all.

"That’s it? It’s not even as scary as Xiao Zhi laughing."

Having originally not found the female ghost scary, Lu Yang and Immortal Fairy shivered involuntarily upon hearing Yun Mengmeng’s mutterings.

Eldest Senior Sister only laughed under one circumstance—that was when she was infuriated, and indeed that could be frightening.

"Qinghe, are you sure this is a Curse Technique?" Lu Yang looked at Qinghe skeptically, as this didn’t seem like one at all. Even though he now had an Immortal Body, immune to curses, there should be an immunity process, but the whole time it was just the female ghost baring teeth and clawing.

Qinghe was somewhat embarrassed, admitting it didn’t seem like a curse technique: "Perhaps this female ghost can cast curse techniques, but seeing that we are not afraid, she chose not to cast?"

After showing her teeth and claws for a while and seeing no one cared, the ghost was preparing to sneak back into the Recording Orb when Lu Yang directly pulled her out.

"Explain yourself, what’s going on?"

The female ghost was properly hiding inside the Recording Orb. It was too strange.

The female ghost knelt on the ground with a plop, crying bitterly, "Please spare my life, I haven’t done anything bad, my master ordered me to hide in the Recording Orb!"

"Who is your master?"

"It’s Lord Shi! I don’t know my master’s true identity; he only lets me call him Lord Shi!"

"Where is he?"

"Jin’an City."

"Lead us there."

Initially hesitant, the female ghost saw Lu Yang narrowing his eyes and dared not utter a word of refusal; trembling, she returned to the Recording Orb, and using an arrow that appeared, she guided the way.

"Are you guys going to Jin’an City too?" Lu Yang asked, immediately feeling it was a silly question. Knowing these people, none of them were straightforward, all wearing expressions eager to watch the spectacle.

"With your disguises, you can’t go to Jin’an City." Lu Yang kindly reminded them; he blended in with the crowd, appearing completely ordinary after his disguise.

"The ladies were different though, they claimed they could disguise themselves, but even after disguising, they still possessed an otherworldly beauty. Anyone who saw them on the streets would definitely take a second look, maybe even attracting some reckless young masters and other such incidents."

"This is simple, just let Wei transform us into a plain surface," Ao Ling said, having already thought of a solution.

After speaking, Ao Ling transformed into her True Dragon form, and Jin Caiwei activated the Plane Dao Fruit Outline to transform the True Dragon Ao Ling into a flat surface, imprinting her onto Lu Yang’s robe.

Jiang Lianyi did the same.

Qinghe also transformed, becoming a lotus and imprinting herself upon Lu Yang’s robe.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yang’s white robe was filled with patterns, dragons, phoenixes, Qiongqi, lotuses, and images of Mengmeng.

"Wait, why is Qinghe a lotus?" Lu Yang asked in astonishment.

"Hmm, haven’t I told you? Little Lotus’ original form is a lotus," Fairy Eternity said. She recounted tales of ancient times to Lu Yang every day, not sure if she had mentioned this before.

"Alright then."

Lu Yang changed his appearance and, wearing the patterned white robe and holding a Recording Orb, entered Jin’an City.

Jin’an City was a small city within the Buddha Country, quite inconspicuous. There weren’t even five Gold Core Period Cultivators there; otherwise, Daoist Yu wouldn’t dare to distribute Life-purchasing Money in Jin’an City.

Nevertheless, the city was bustling. As Lu Yang walked down the streets, he often heard people discussing the elusive desert city.

After becoming flat, the ladies weren’t well-behaved, moving around on the clothing. However, Lu Yang was unnoticeable, and consequently, his clothes went unnoticed as well, with no one spotting the changing patterns.

"It’s said that at the center of the desert city there’s a temple housing a Buddha, and one can make a wish if they manage to find the temple and enter the desert city!"

"Really? There’s such a thing?"

"But it’s just hearsay. See how many have searched for that desert city, who has found it?"

The ghost heard the discussions and broke out in a cold sweat, nearly dissipating her soul in fright. This temple sounded more and more like the place she had come from.

The arrow on the Recording Orb constantly changed direction, and Lu Yang made left and right turns, eventually reaching a dark alley.

"This is the place," the ghost’s voice came from the Recording Orb.

Pushing open the door, Lu Yang entered a small courtyard.

"Who dares trespass on my territory!"

A towering cultivator noticed Lu Yang’s arrival, instantly moved from the study to the courtyard, and demanded loudly.

"Sir Shi!" the ghost called out from the Recording Orb.

"Miao’er!" Sir Shi’s expression changed slightly. The other party was actually using Miao’er to restrain him.

"Who are you? To kidnap Miao’er, are you trying to provoke the Qiongqi Clan!" Sir Shi’s head transformed into a tiger’s, radiating the fluctuations of the Gold Core Period.

Lu Yang was momentarily stunned, his expression turning strange.

The winged white tiger on his white robe stirred, leaping from the fabric and transforming into a human form, eyeing Sir Shi coldly.

"Little, Little Ancestor!" Sir Shi’s heart stirred a massive upheaval. How could this be possible, why would the little ancestor appear here?

"Jin Cuoshi pays respects to Little Ancestor!" Sir Shi thudded onto his knees with a loud bang, repeatedly kowtowing.

"The ghost here says it was you who told her to hide in the Recording Orb, what do you mean by this!" Jin Caiwei had not expected that after all this rigmarole, it was their own clan member causing trouble.

Sir Shi hesitated, unable to respond.

"Speak!"

"It, it was my idea to boost our Recording Orb sales, so I arranged for Miao’er, Ke’er, An’er, and others to hide inside them to scare people, hoping they’d get frightened enough to break the orbs and buy new ones."
