"Wait!"

Wang Tong's words caused Xiao Mu to pause, he quickly asked, "What did you say? Energy crystals can transmute into energy fruits?"

"Really?"

Wang Tong widened his eyes, staring at Xiao Mu incredulously, "Old Mu, you didn't know this? What did you use your energy crystals for? Don't tell me, you directly absorbed them for cultivation?"

"Cough, cough!"

This was indeed what Xiao Mu had done. After hearing Wang Tong's words, his expression turned a little awkward.

He quickly returned to normal, asking, "Energy crystals can be used to transmutate into energy fruits, what exactly is happening? Tell me in detail."

"Sure..."

Wang Tong began to explain.

Xiao Mu only then learned that energy crystals actually had other uses, they can not only transmute into energy fruits but also transmute into martial arts secret scripts. Just put the energy crystal with various fruits and manuals, overnight, the energy crystal will be absorbed by the fruit and the manual, leading to a mutation.

However, the chance of such a mutation is uncontrollable, in most cases, it's just a very low level of mutation, even the direction of the mutation is spontaneous.

For example, having the "Nine Yang Skill" could eventually mutate into the "Tao Te Ching". The direction of mutation is completely uncontrollable.

After asking about the conditions for energy crystals to cause object mutation in detail, Xiao Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

This method of mutation was not only uncontrollable but also had a very low probability of producing good things. Compared to Xiao Mu's Mutation Technique, it had no quality at all.

Of course, under extremely good luck, the kind where luck breaks through the sky, the energy crystal could still mutate into extremely good things.

But the probability of that happening is ridiculously low, even lower than winning the lottery ten or eight times in succession.

After hearing this, Xiao Mu immediately vetoed the method of using energy crystals to cause objects to mutate, feeling that the cost-effective ratio was even lower than directly absorbing the energy crystals to improve his cultivation.

He handed the energy crystal to Wang Tong, told him to prepare the money, owe it first, and take it when he had the chance. Then he left the girls' school with Wang Tong.

He got up early and went out the next morning, first heading to the small commodity market.

He searched around for a long time before finally stopping in front of a book stall.

"Ghost Scripture of the Dark Spirit!"

There's actually a book for ghosts to cultivate?

Xiao Mu was surprised as he picked up the "Ghost Scripture of the Dark Spirit." The title of the book clearly indicated it was for ghost cultivation.

He asked the boss, "How much for this book?"

The boss held up five fingers, "Five hundred!"

So expensive!

Xiao Mu mentally complained. But well, scarcity breeds demand. If it's scarce, it's reasonable to be expensive.

As he flipped through the book, Xiao Mu couldn't help laughing. The contents of the book were Marxist philosophy, not any secret manual for ghost cultivation.

This book was clearly a case of false advertising.

"Boss, isn't this too dishonest? Using Marxist philosophy as ghost cultivation content?"

Xiao Mu put down the book as he spoke.

"Shrug! The book is called 'Ghost Scripture of the Dark Spirit', isn't that enough? Whatever the content is, who cares? Do you want it or not?"

The boss looked scornfully at Xiao Mu.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Mu sneered, standing up.

A 'Ghost Scripture of the Dark Spirit' containing Marxist philosophy, not to mention the extremely low probability of mutation, even if it did mutate, it wouldn't be able to become a true ghost cultivation manual.

False manuals on the market are all made up, but even if they're made up, they need to be at least reasonable and credible.

The world mutation is more about correcting abilities. For example, "Tao Te Ching" would only mutate into Taoist scriptures, and "Diamond Sutra" could only mutate into Buddhist scriptures.

He continued to visit other stalls and after a few hours, Xiao Mu finally found a "Ghost Cultivation Secrets" book.

After persuading himself to open it and read, although the content was made up, it was logically acceptable and self-consistent. Clearly, a lot of effort had been put into it.

The stall owner asked for four hundred yuan, which Xiao Mu immediately paid for.

Bringing the book home, Xiao Mu began to mutate it.

After setting up the book and making some preparations, Xiao Mu started magic mutation to the "Ghost Cultivation Secrets".

Touching the "Ghost Cultivation Secrets" with his finger, two familiar options appeared again:

1. Branch schools.

2. Orthodox schools.

Xiao Mu chose the Orthodox school, planning to carry out the mutation, but then he yelped slightly.

Surprisingly, another option appeared after the previous ones.

Xiao Mu checked, this one was an optional choice, which meant Xiao Mu could choose to retain it or not.

Potential for growth!

It would need an extra energy point.

This implied that if he did not retain it, the ghost scripture obtained from mutation might only offer one-time content, which would be gone once used for cultivation.

On the other hand, if chosen to retain, the ghost scripture could be used later just like the "Xuanmen Zhenggang", "Qimen Array Method", and "Heaven Talisman Scripture" he previously cultivated.

Without hesitation, Xiao Mu selected to retain, spending a total of three energy points in the magic mutation of the "Ghost Cultivation Secrets".

After a flash of golden light, a new book emerged — Body Refinement Chapter of "Ghost King Scripture".

Excited, Xiao Mu released the ghost servant from the Peach Wood Sword.

"Master!"

The ghost servant, holding a broken blade, bowed to Xiao Mu.

"At ease!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand, gestured the ghost servant to be at ease, meanwhile handed him the Body Refinement Chapter of "Ghost King Scripture", and said, "Learn this."

"Yes, Master!"

The ghost servant took the "Ghost King Scripture", pressed one hand on it, and the text on the scripture disappeared, turning into blank paper.

The ghost servant returned the blank "Ghost King Scripture" to Xiao Mu and immediately sat down to start cultivating.

Soon, a faint golden light flickered on the ghost servant's body, indicating he was successfully entering the cultivating state, using his soul power for body refinement.

"Let me give you a hand."

Xiao Mu said while throwing the beads of negative energy he received from killing the Blue Blood Ghost and other evil ghosts at the girls' school onto the ghost servant.

As soon as a bead hit the ghost servant, it was immediately absorbed into his body, intensifying the golden light flickering on him.

Originally, this ghost servant's body was in a state of Xu Wu, however, as the beads were absorbed, his body gradually solidified, starting to resemble a human body.

Before long, after absorbing the beads, the ghost servant's cultivating speed started to slow down.

"Okay, stop now."

Seeing this, Xiao Mu ordered the ghost servant to stop.

Without the aid of negative energy beads, the ghost servant's cultivating speed was too slow, and continuing to cultivate was meaningless.

"Yes, Master."

The ghost servant obediently stopped cultivating and respectfully stood aside.

Xiao Mu inspected the ghost servant's body, and at this point, the ghost servant's body had exceeded the level of an evil ghost, and was roughly the same as a wicked ghost.

In a real battle, an evil ghost probably would not stand a chance against the ghost servant, while a wicked ghost might prove a challenging match.

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, there were too few negative energy beads, not enough for the ghost servant to evolve.

According to his current realm, he needed to cultivate the ghost servant's strength to at least be equivalent to a blood demon to be of some use.

Next, the plan was to find a way to acquire more negative energy beads.
