Chapter 46: Useful ghost artifacts! Fortune!
The ghost artifacts here were of various shapes and forms. For example, there was an old pair of cotton shoes, some headscarves, hats, and even a burial shroud.
These ghost artifacts were casually placed on some tables, as if the Bridal Dress Ghost had just tossed them in.
“Are the spirits within these ghost artifacts still there?” Lin Feng wondered.
He walked into the room, picking up a round, cartoonish hat that looked like it was meant for a child and tried to sense something.
Naturally… he couldn’t sense anything.
As the ghost controller’s spirits grew stronger, they could bring some beneficial effects to the controller. For example, if it was a ghost artifact, even without any bond, Lin Feng would be able to vaguely sense the spirit inside it after holding it.
“It must be suppressed by the Bridal Dress Ghost’s ghost domain,” Lin Feng whispered.
The Bridal Dress Ghost’s ghost domain was indeed quite special. Any ghost artifact that entered here seemed to be frozen, like it had shut down. Unless the spirit was summoned beforehand, there was no way for it to come out.
“Tongtong, cover this hat with your ghost domain,” Lin Feng instructed.
Tongtong obediently extended her ghost domain, but only a small part, enough to cover the cartoon hat. In the Bridal Dress Ghost’s ghost domain, Tongtong couldn’t expand her domain too much.
As soon as Tongtong’s ghost domain covered the hat, Lin Feng could sense that the spirit inside was indeed still there.
Moreover, stimulated by Tongtong’s ghost domain and ghost energy, the spirit emerged. It was a ghost child, but not as cute as Tongtong — more like the kind that would scare little children.
After coming out, the ghost child didn’t attack but just stood there blankly.
But soon, the ghost child suddenly ran back into the ghost artifact.
Tongtong tugged at Lin Feng. When Lin Feng turned around, he saw the Bridal Dress Ghost standing at the door. Lin Feng was about to explain, but the Bridal Dress Ghost turned and left, seemingly just checking on the situation.
“She doesn’t care about the things here,” Lin Feng speculated.
It could be seen from the way these ghost artifacts were casually thrown here that the Bridal Dress Ghost didn’t care about them at all.
“These ghost artifacts… seem to be reusable,” Lin Feng thought, seeing the ghost child’s reaction.
In this world, babies choose a ghost artifact on their 100th day to accompany them as they grow up. If it’s a benevolent spirit, by the time the child reaches 15, they would generally have a bond of over 20 points.
For benevolent spirits, that bond level was already sufficient.
Once the bond was high, if the ghost controller was killed, the spirit would fight to the death. There wre some exceptions, like if a ghost controller had a ghost rope or other ghost artifacts to bind the spirit, but that didn’t mean much — the spirit would quickly deteriorate and turn into a malevolent one. So, when ghost controllers fight each other, they usually have to eliminate the opponent’s spirit.
As for battles between ghost controllers and ghosts, it’s a fight to the death.
Therefore, no one would attempt to seize the spirit of a veteran ghost controller, unless it’s a newbie who just awakened their spirit.
Just like this time, the square-faced man and his group tried to take Lin Feng’s spirit because they thought he had just awakened his spirit and didn’t have a high bond with Tongtong.
But now, another unexpected situation had arisen.
The Bridal Dress Ghost’s special ghost domain could suppress ghost artifacts, keeping the spirits inside trapped even long after the ghost controller had died. These spirits hadn’t deteriorated!
Moreover, because they had been suppressed and isolated from their controllers for so long, the bonds between the spirits and their controllers were gradually diminishing. This decrease wasn’t fast, but given enough time, the bond would eventually be completely severed.
Just like that ghost child, it seemed to have become a masterless spirit — a benevolent one!
And from the feeling it gave Lin Feng, that ghost child was quite strong, likely of Terrifying Grade.
A terrifying-grade (Level 4) masterless benevolent spirit!
“If I were to sell this… it could fetch quite a few contribution points, right?” Lin Feng instantly thought of this!
There would be many buyers.
Those psychics would definitely need it!
Benevolent spirits were different from malevolent ones. Benevolent spirits must be cultivated personally.
Wild benevolent spirits of Terrifying Grade virtually don’t exist. Not just Terrifying Grade, even wild hazard-grade (Level 3) benevolent spirits were almost nonexistent!
Benevolent spirits were less aggressive and not as ferocious or strong as malevolent ones. Without a ghost controller, wild benevolent spirits would just hide in ghost artifacts and wouldn’t grow at all.
So, strong wild benevolent spirits were almost unheard of!
Besides spiritual bodies, even some powerful psychic ghost controllers might be tempted by a masterless terrifying-grade benevolent spirit!
In short…
In Lin Feng’s view, the ghost artifacts in this room could definitely sell for a good price. Even though these things still belonged to the Bridal Dress Ghost, it wouldn’t be long before they became his!
After all, the Bridal Dress Ghost would be his by then, and she didn’t care about these things anyway.
In other words, he was going to make a fortune. At least, contribution points wouldn’t be a problem in the future!
