In addition to the Ghost Register, a ghost servant's cultivation also requires Swirl Beads.

For a ghost servant, the function of a Swirl Bead is just like the magical pills and elixirs for humans, capable of rapidly enhancing power.

This kind of Swirl Bead is formed by purifying the evil energy through a special method, which is recorded in the "Controlling Ghosts Heaven Scripture".

And evil energy is easy to obtain, whether by killing evil ghosts or zombies, one can obtain it, just in varying amounts.

The higher the realm of the evil ghost or zombie, the more and stronger the evil energy obtained, the better the quality of the Swirl Beads condensed from it.

Previously, in the ancient battlefield relics of Qiwu Mountain, Xiao Mu had the opportunity to condense Swirl Beads using the method recorded in the "Controlling Ghosts Heaven Scripture" after killing fierce ghosts and evil ghosts. However, the appearance of the curse ghost disrupted his steps, forcing him to leave the ancient battlefield ruins early.

As such, to obtain Swirl Beads, one would have to search elsewhere.

In fact, even if he had Swirl Beads right now, Xiao Mu wouldn't be able to use them. His ghost servant doesn't even have a Ghost Register yet, having a lot of Swirl Beads wouldn't make any difference.

He had one Energy Point left on him, and after pondering for a while, Xiao Mu gave up on the idea of using this Energy Point to attempt to mutate a secret manual into a Ghost Register.

It was just one Energy Point, not to mention that it possibly couldn't, even if it could, the Ghost Register that was mutated was probably a low-level one.

Xiao Mu wouldn't use a low-level Ghost Register for his ghost servant's cultivation as it would directly affect the strength level his ghost servant could achieve in the future.

It appeared that he needed to find a way to obtain more Energy Points.

The ancient battlefield ruins of Qiwu Mountain were originally a good place, but the appearance of the curse ghost made it too dangerous to visit for now.

He had to find other places.

He browsed the forum for a bit to see if there were any new posts on the internet.

Xiao Mu was indeed interested in the curse ghost of Qiwu Mountain, but unfortunately, there was no information about the curse ghost on the internet, perhaps because it wasn't the time yet.

This somewhat disappointed Xiao Mu.

Then he continued to browse the website.

"Breaking news, King Qingshan returns, recruiting men to battle General Mountain again."

"Paying a hefty price for any information about evil ghosts or Iron corpses appearing. If you know of any locations, please contact me. I promise to reward you handsomely, contact details …"

...

A piece of news caught Xiao Mu's attention.

WanderLuster: I know where a Blood Demon is. If you want the information, please private message me.

Information about a Blood Demon?

Upon seeing this, Xiao Mu was overjoyed, so he sent a private message to this person, only to find out that it was a scam.

The scammer swore and cursed, asking Xiao Mu to first transfer money to his bank card. After receiving the money, he would tell Xiao Mu where the Blood Demon was.

Xiao Mu instantly recognized it as a scam and chose to block and report the user.

There were quite a few posts like this, it seems that even after world mutation occurred, the number of scammers didn't decrease but instead, due to the world becoming more exciting, their activities had become even more rampant.

After half a day of searching, he still couldn't find any genuine information related to Blood Demons, which made Xiao Mu quite disappointed.

Just as he was about to close the webpage, he suddenly noticed a private message.

Yuan Mu: Mate, you around?

Yuan Mu was Wang Tong who bought the Energy Crystal from Xiao Mu last time. He left a contact number for Xiao Mu on a business card.

Xiao Mu didn't leave his contact details with Wang Tong.

He wasn't sure what had happened, but Wang Tong had actually taken the initiative to contact Xiao Mu via his online account.

Does he need more Energy Crystals?

However, Xiao Mu didn't lack money at present, so he had no plans to sell Energy Crystals.

After thinking for a bit, he returned a question mark.

Perhaps Wang Tong was waiting in front of the computer for Xiao Mu's reply as he quickly sent a second message: Friend, are you interested in teaming up? I have information related to the Blood Demon.

Xiao Mu was immediately delighted upon hearing this. However, after being scammed just now, he still kept his guard up and sent another message: Are you Wang Tong?

Wang Tong responded with a sweating emoji: Mate, what happened? Why are you suspicious of me? Yes, I'm Wang Tong, my QQ ID is XXX, and my WeChat ID is XXX, okay?

Only then was Xiao Mu certain that the person on the other end was indeed Wang Tong: You have information related to the Blood Demon? Are you sure?

Wang Tong: Absolutely certain, I've even seen the Blood Demon with my own eyes.

Xiao Mu was very straightforward: State the location.

Wang Tong: Let's set a date first, so that you can prepare.

Xiao Mu's reply: No need, today is fine, just tell me the location.

Wang Tong responded with another sweating emoji as he was rather surprised that Xiao Mu was so straightforward: Mate, come to Ziyang Garden. We'll meet at the previous meeting point, and then we'll set off together.

Xiao Mu: OK!

Immediately he left home and took a taxi to Ziyang Garden.

Wang Tong was waiting near the sculpture. Upon seeing Xiao Mu, he waved immediately.

Xiao Mu walked towards him.

After giving Xiao Mu a once-over, Wang Tong asked, "Mate, just how strong are you? Blood Demons are very strong, if we really encounter one and can't handle it, perhaps you should call more people? Unfortunately, I don't currently have any acquainted strong friends."

"Your cultivation level is in Qi Refining and Blood Integration? Which stage? Late-stage?"

Xiao Mu glanced at Wang Tong and instead of answering, he forwarded a question.

Through his discerning eyes, the surging life force in Wang Tong's body confirmed that he had refined his inner Qi to his blood, which belonged to the second stage for martial artists.

But as to whether Wang Tong was in the early, middle, late or perfection stages of the Blood Refiner realm, Xiao Mu couldn't quite tell.

Wang Tong admitted with a hint of humility, "Only the middle stage, I'm still a bit off from the late-stage."

"Your ability is slightly lacking."

Xiao Mu fell into thought for a moment, expressing a bit of worry.

A Blood Demon — if preparations are made beforehand, even if it's just him alone, he could cope.

As long as he had a trapping formation to restrict the Blood Demon, the current Xiao Mu could effortlessly kill it without even using his power, 'Furious Flame - Burn'.

After all, Xiao Mu's current cultivation level had advanced to the Spirit Communication Realm, not the Spiritual Qi Realm like before.

The fear is from the Blood Demons that appear spontaneously in the wild and suddenly attack.

Caught off-guard and ambushed, there was a high probability that Xiao Mu could be in trouble.

If Wang Tong's ability was in the late-stage, combined with Xiao Mu's means, they would be quite certain to handle a Blood Demon, but the middle stage was inevitably a bit lacking.

One small mistake, and while Xiao Mu might be fine, Wang Tong would definitely be in trouble.

Yet, seeking wealth involves taking risks, and one should not retreat just because of danger.

"Let's do it this way, let's talk about the distribution of spoils. After killing the evil ghost, it will be nine to one in my favor. Any objections?"

Later, Xiao Mu stared at Wang Tong once again.

What Xiao Mu referred to as the distribution method was just the distribution of Energy Crystals, Energy Points were not included.

Wang Tong laughed bitterly at this. The distribution of spoils could best reflect the power levels among companions.

He sighed, looking defeated, "All along, I thought I was pretty strong. Only now do I realize that my power is nothing in front of a true expert."
