"That's why we need to make sure something happens to her." Smiling, Cheng Hao turned to look at Bai Xiaochun. "By the way, how far did you go with your spirit enhancement on that crimson spear?"
"I already did a twentyfold spirit enhancement," Bai Xiaochun said with a sheepish smile. "I was going to give it back to you after a twentyfold spirit enhancement." Originally, he had said that he would give it back after a fifteenfold spirit enhancement. But now, he had already done a twentyfold enhancement.
Carefully, he pulled the crimson spear out of his bag of holding, his murderous aura surging, and his eyes flickering with red light. With a twentyfold spirit enhancement, the spear was already at the level of a holy weapon, and the murderous aura it emanated was something that Bai Xiaochun couldn't resist.
"Here you go, Senior!"
Although he didn't want to part with the spear, he knew that he couldn't just take it for himself. Excessive greed could lead to death.
"Do you want the spear?"
"Yes!" Bai Xiaochun didn't try to act all high and mighty, and quickly nodded.
"How about this," Cheng Hao said. "You can keep the spear, but give me the wok you performed the spirit enhancement on. What do you think?"
"No, no …." Bai Xiaochun said, shaking his head. Clearly, he wasn't about to be fooled.
"You need to think this through," Bai Xiaochun said. "That spear was already extraordinary to begin with. Now that it has a twentyfold spirit enhancement, it's a weapon of mass destruction that can kill gods and buddhas. Even if you're only strong enough to unleash a single attack, you can still seriously injure someone like Ghostmother. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Cheng Hao continued to try to persuade Bai Xiaochun. He had no intention of taking the spear by force. After all, bartering was a very normal thing. There was no Karma involved, and even Bai Xiaochun, who was on the other side of the river of time, couldn't say anything about it.
"Um …."
After a long moment of hesitation, Bai Xiaochun waved his hand, causing a huge black wok to appear in front of him.
"Senior, you're very strong. If you really want the wok, then I wouldn't dare to keep it. After all, I can't keep it by force!"
Cheng Hao was a bit speechless. Clearly, Bai Xiaochun was convinced that he was going to try to steal the wok. In order to save his own life, he was willing to pay the price.
"What are you saying? Do you think I'm an unreasonable person?"
Cheng Hao took the black wok, but didn't put it into his inner world. Instead, after examining it for a bit, he returned it to Bai Xiaochun.
This wok was very ordinary. Although its material could be considered a divine material in the eyes of ordinary people, it wasn't anything precious in Cheng Hao's eyes. What really caught Cheng Hao's attention were the mysterious runes on the black wok.
These runes were like dao patterns. They were complex and profound, and it was because of these dao patterns that the black wok had a 100% success rate for spirit refinement.
"All I have to do is put the item I want to perform a spirit enhancement on," Cheng Hao said. "Then I put the item I want to perform a spirit enhancement on, and use some flame to burn the bottom of the wok. Is that right?"
Seeing that Cheng Hao wasn't going to try to take the wok by force, he breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right," he said. "How many times do you want to perform a spirit enhancement depends on the color of the flame. Senior, you should be able to see through the intricacies of the flame. Have you seen this wok before?"
"I've never seen this wok before," Cheng Hao said casually. "But I do remember seeing the patterns on it."
"So that's how it is …." Bai Xiaochun nodded. "Now that I'm an earth-tier necromancer, as long as I have enough souls, I can conjure twenty-colored flame. With this turtle-wok, I can perform a one hundred percent twenty-fold spirit enhancement."
Cheng Hao nodded. Just now, he had imprinted the dao patterns on the turtle-wok into his mind. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely be able to conjure his own turtle-wok. However, multi-colored flame would be a bit more troublesome.
Conjuring specters into flame was a skill that only necromancers in this world could conjure. It didn't necessarily mean that you were strong enough to conjure countless specters into flame. Without natural talent, you would have to spend a lot of time experimenting. Of course, it would be very difficult to become a high-level necromancer.
Cheng Hao was a Lightning Tribulation ghost immortal, so it wasn't difficult for him to conjure souls. However, conjuring multi-colored flame required ten times more souls for each additional color. According to his calculations, if he wanted to conjure thirty-colored flame, he would have to slaughter an entire universe of living beings, then extract their souls.
That was something Cheng Hao couldn't do. If he had the time and energy to do that, he would rather focus on gaining enlightenment of the magical laws of flame. If he could reach a higher level of enlightenment, he would be able to conjure as many colors as he wanted. After all, killing and extracting souls was not the right path.
"You helped me perform a twentyfold spirit enhancement on this spear. So, what do you want as a reward?" Since he could conjure his own turtle-wok, Cheng Hao didn't have any ideas about Bai Xiaochun's wok. Instead, he was in a good mood, and wanted to hear what Bai Xiaochun wanted as a reward.
"A reward …." Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, then produced a jade stone that Cheng Hao had given him when he had first arrived in this world.
"Senior, I have the feeling that the Celestial from Heavenspan Island and I are going to have a big fight to the death. I don't want any rewards. I just want you to help me when I crush this jade. That's all I need!"
"I can help you, but there is one thing. I can't stay in this world for seventeen years. After seventeen years, I will leave this world. If you don't crush the jade during this period of time, then it means that you have given up this opportunity!"
Bai Xiaochun nodded. Considering how strong he was, there was no way he could haggle with Haotian. Therefore, for Senior Haotian to agree to help him just once was already very impressive.
As Cheng Hao and Bai Xiaochun chatted, the battle between Ghostmother and Gongsun Waner was reaching its climax. Although Gongsun Waner's clone had grown stronger over the years, she still wasn't a match for Ghostmother's true form. More than half of her body had already been devoured by Ghostmother.
"It's about time to end things!"
Cheng Hao murmured. Waving his finger, he caused the crimson spear to awaken. Bai Xiaochun suddenly felt like a king of evil had come to life, a murderous aura sweeping out in all directions. Bai Xiaochun was like a tiny boat in a sea of murderous aura that could capsize at any moment.
WHOOSH!
The spear flew through the air, retracting all of its pressure. It began to shine with crimson light, making it look like the first bolt of crimson divine lightning. A moment later, it pierced through Ghostmother's head.
