Acai's Sky

Chapter 149: Fragrance Search 8

At this time, the sky was shrouded in darkness, without a trace of light.

Ah Cai stood at the gate of the "Ghost House" and looked up at the mottled plaques.

Ah Cai scratched his head and muttered to himself, "This place really feels a bit spooky!"

She recalled the scenes of the underworld she had seen in TV dramas and felt that the atmosphere here was not much different from them.

"The artificial atmosphere is perfect!" A Cai couldn't help but admire.

"The scenery and atmosphere are perfect!" Acai continued to sigh.

A Cai walked briskly to the city gate, ready to queue up to enter.

"10 ghost coins to enter the city!"

Ah Cai saw that the soldier collecting the entrance fee at the city gate was actually half human, half ghost, so she gave him 10 ghost coins and walked in.

"Half human, half ghost?" A Cai looked at him puzzled.

Walking into the city, it is like a city in the dark night, with big red lanterns hanging high, and several strings of big red lanterns hanging in front of every store!

The entire street was shrouded in candlelight from lanterns, creating a hazy feeling.

High-end restaurants and hotels often hang large pieces of moonstone, which shine with fluorescent white light and are particularly clear.

Ah Cai walked with light steps along the bustling street, looking around curiously.

The buildings on both sides of the street are unique and antique, and each one exudes a strong historical atmosphere.

Most of these buildings are made of wood, and the intricately carved doors, windows, beams and columns demonstrate the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.

The ancient tiles and moss-covered walls bear witness to the vicissitudes of time.

Acai walked on the road paved with bluestone slabs, feeling the solidity and simplicity under her feet.

Every few steps on both sides of the street there is a lantern hanging high with bright candles burning inside.

These lanterns light up the entire street, filling the entire city with a warm atmosphere.

Ah Cai looked up and found that there was no moon in the sky, but she could see many glowing stones.

They are embedded in the roof or hung under the eaves, emitting a soft light, like stars falling to the earth.

These moonstones added a mysterious touch to the city, which made Acai marvel at it.

“This is such a wonderful place!”

Ah Cai sighed sincerely.

She had never imagined that there was such a wonderful thing in the world. Everything seemed so fresh and interesting.

However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that she knew nothing about this world, and she didn't even know whether the people here were friendly.

So she decided to find a place to sit down first, carefully observe the people and things here, and understand their customs and habits, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

A Cai looked at the people in this city. Most of those coming and going were half human and half ghost.

Some have human bodies but animal heads; some have wings growing from their backs and feathers all over their bodies; some are simply clouds of smoke...

A Cai couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She was worried that her arrival would cause them to be disgusted.

A Cai scratched his head and thought it would be better for him to find out about the taboos of the locals first. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

In this way, even if there is any emergency, they will not be offended.

Thinking of this, Acai took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and continued to move forward.

Acai came to the inn and walked in.

The waiter looked at Acai Gaohe and said, "Dear guest, please come in!"

Ah Cai saw the shopkeeper shuffling beads on an abacus behind the counter and walked over. "Shopkeeper, are there any vacancies?"

Hearing Ah Cai's question, the shopkeeper looked up and showed his signature smile, "Hello, sir. All our guest rooms are fully booked. Which one would you like to stay in?"

Ah Cai looked at the half-human, half-ghost shopkeeper and said concisely, "The best!"

"300 ghost coins a day, top grade!"

Ah Cai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try for 10 days first."

"Excuse me, sir. We've had an increase in visitors lately, so every guest needs to register."

Ah Cai was able to do so, and she took out a quick-drying pen and signed her name in the registration book.

The shopkeeper looked at the pen in Acai's hand and was very curious. He could write so quickly without dipping it in ink.

The shopkeeper handed the key to Ah Cai and said, "Sir, the Tianzi restaurant is on the third floor. Please come in."

A Cai took the key and went up to the third floor, found the room, opened the door, and the decoration inside was very simple, but very clean.

A Cai lay on the bed with her eyes closed.

Thinking of the thank-you gifts given to her by the Lord of Shanyou City and the ten major sects, she had not checked the two space rings. She would take advantage of the rest now to check them!

He turned over and sat up, took out two small space rings, and checked them with his consciousness.

The space ring [Shadow Ring] given by the Lord of Shanyou City is pitch black with a matte finish, and the area inside is as big as a small town.

Ah Cai looked at the space ring and said, "This is too big. How many delicious foods do I need to put in it to fill it up?"

Ah Cai took out all the spirit stones and spirit crystals in the ring and took a quick look at them.

500 million top-grade spirit stones, 1 million high-grade spirit stones, 100 million high-grade spirit crystals...

There are no medium-grade or low-grade spirit stones, only high-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals.

Ah Cai looked at these spirit stones and said to herself, "They just came out of the void, haven't they exchanged them for gold coins yet?"

There is no equipment in this ring. Since Ah Cai has not practiced Taoism, she cannot use the equipment from this underworld.

All the skills that Acai possesses have been modified by the system and can be directly exerted through mental power.

However, she carries more than ten pieces of accessories, which can be used by simply using her mental power, and these are all the accessories that Ah Cai can wear at present.

These include:

- [Soul Jade]: Condensed from the unique soul power of the Netherworld, it can enhance the wearer's soul power cultivation.

- [Underworld Pearl]: A pearl imbued with the spiritual energy of the underworld, enhancing the wearer's spiritual perception.

- [Blood Crystal Ring]: A blood-red crystal ring that absorbs blood and increases attack power.

......

A Cai carefully observed these accessories and found that there would be no side effects even if she wore them, so she put them on one by one without hesitation.

And in the space ring, there is also a special item - a flying vehicle.

This aircraft was called the [Flying Class - Dark Feather Butterfly Wing]. Its wings, like the deep night sky, shimmered with a faint light. Its wings were covered in an inky black butterfly-like wing pattern, dotted with silver-like lines, resembling a mysterious star map.

What’s even more amazing is that it flies at an extremely fast speed and can increase its own speed by 200%!

A Cai scratched his chin, with curiosity flashing in his eyes, and carefully observed the items in the space ring.

She noticed some jade boxes inside. After opening them gently, a strong spiritual energy came towards her.

Most of these jade boxes contain precious spiritual plants from the netherworld. Each plant still has roots, and looks as fresh as if it had just been picked from the ground.

A Cai carefully took them all out and sent them to A Da, A Er and A San in their homeland through a special method.

There were already many spiritual plants planted in the home, and A Da, A Er and A San were responsible for managing and caring for these plants.

They have a deep understanding and expertise in spiritual plants and can cultivate them to become stronger and more luxuriant.

A Cai continued to flip the space ring, and suddenly, an oval-shaped jade stone caught her attention.

She looked at it carefully, then scratched it lightly with her finger, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and dripped them onto the jade.

As the blood came into contact with the jade, a mysterious contractual force instantly took effect.

After the contract ceremony, Ah Cai was surprised to find that this piece of jade turned out to be a hidden medicinal garden.

The medicinal garden covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, and is densely planted with various rare spiritual plants and fruits.

These spiritual plants emit charming fragrance that makes people intoxicated.

Acai looked at the medicinal garden excitedly, her heart filled with joy.

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs here, and they can be handed over to someone for in-depth research in the future.

After all, for her, alchemy does not require relying on medicinal materials. As long as she has enough money, she can buy the required materials.

Therefore, these precious medicinal herbs are not particularly important to her, but if someone can make use of them, there may be unexpected gains.

"Huh~"

A Cai looked at the thing in her hand with confusion, not knowing what it was.

She pulled it out and found it was a piece of clothing that looked like women's fashion.

She picked up the garment with her right hand, shook it gently, and muttered, "Can these few pieces of rags really wrap someone up tightly?"

She suddenly remembered the female disciples of the Jiuyou Xuannv Sect she saw today. They seemed to be wearing such clothes when going out.

Ah Cai couldn't help but curl her lips and said in disgust: "This aesthetic sense is too bad!"

Then she looked down at her light green dress [Han Yu Piao Xue] and muttered to herself, "But the color of my dress is too bright. It stands out against the dark tones, like a green leaf in the darkness. It's too conspicuous!"

Ah Cai hurriedly pulled out another light grey [Han Yu Piao Xue] dress from her backpack and quickly changed into it. After changing, she walked around the room, admiring herself, and said with satisfaction, "I think I'll be less conspicuous now!"

Then, Acai started looking for other things and actually found various foods such as cakes, barbecue, and drinks in the space ring.

She excitedly took out a little of each to taste, wanting to know what the delicacies of the netherworld tasted like.
