Li Si looked at the nine newly refreshed goods in the mall. First, he ruled out Hundred-Year Lifespan, Nine Nether Cat Eyes, and Supreme Protective Talisman. There was no way around it. These items were too expensive. He simply could not afford them, even if he coveted them.

Then there was the Demon-Transformation Water below the Nine Nether Cat Eyes. He could buy this one, but he would not buy it. Even if this item was good and cheap, so what? If he lost his reason, would he still be himself? Becoming something neither human nor ghost and living for 500 years was worse than not living at all.

Immediately, he looked toward the two sets of talisman papers. One set was Low-Level Demon-Slaying Talismans, 10 sheets, with an exchange price of 120 soul points. The other set was Intermediate Ghost-Slaying Talismans, 3 sheets, with an exchange price of 150 soul points.

Li Si thought for a moment. The Intermediate Ghost-Slaying Talismans definitely had to be exchanged, but he restrained his thoughts and continued looking at the remaining three.

The Low-Level Demon-Subduing Ring might be useful, but to him right now, it was like a chicken rib. There was no low-level demon creature for him to catch right now.

As for the Evil-Slaying Peach Seed, he had nowhere to plant it right now, and he did not understand how to plant it either, so he would leave it for now.

Afterward, he looked at the final Ghost Creature Strengthening Liquid, and his eyes lit up. The effect of this Ghost Creature Strengthening Liquid was still quite good. One could say that when dealing with the Dismemberment Ghost last time, without this thing, he could not possibly have handled it so easily.

Li Si looked at his soul points. Before entering the mountain, he had 133 soul points. Afterward, the original owner had contributed 78 soul points, the ghost servants had contributed 73 soul points, and the tiger demon had contributed 75 soul points. He now had a total of 359 soul points.

After pondering slightly, Li Si directly exchanged for the Intermediate Ghost-Slaying Talismans, the Low-Level Demon-Slaying Talismans, and the Ghost Creature Strengthening Liquid. This used up 294 soul points all at once, leaving only 65 soul points.

Looking at the two stacks of talisman papers and the ink-black bottle in his hands, he felt as if his heart were dripping blood. This brought him back before liberation all at once. One had to know that every single soul point here had been obtained by him between life and death, yet now more than half had vanished in an instant.

Li Si shook his head and cleared away some negative emotions, then released Xiaoduan. As soon as Xiaoduan came out, he saw the black bottle in Li Si’s hand and immediately began drooling.

Li Si smiled and handed the Ghost Creature Strengthening Liquid to him.

When Xiaoduan saw Li Si hand the bottle to him, he immediately brought his head close to the bottle, opened his mouth, and sucked fiercely. A stream of black qi from the black bottle turned into a thin current and rushed directly into his mouth.

Before long, the black qi in the black bottle had been sucked clean, turning transparent and vanishing without a trace.

At this moment, Li Si also called up Xiaoduan’s information in his mind.

Decapitated Ghost, Xiaoduan.

Ghost creature level: low-level ghost creature.

Possessed abilities: Ghost Blows Out the Lamp, Intangibility, Long Tongue.

Current relationship: contracted.

Current soul body strength: 51.

There was no change in his skills. What surprised Li Si was that the seriously injured state was gone. This Ghost Creature Strengthening Liquid actually also had the effect of healing ghost creatures.

“Mas... ter.” Suddenly, a rough voice came from beside him.

When Li Si suddenly heard the voice, he was immediately startled. Afterward, he looked at Xiaoduan and asked somewhat astonished, “Was that you speaking just now?”

Xiaoduan tilted his head and looked at Li Si somewhat doubtfully. Then he said, “Yes...”

Li Si immediately relaxed. Xiaoduan had finally evolved from a fool into a fool who could communicate.

As for Xiaoduan’s intelligence, he did not hold much hope. This was already quite good.

After all, Xiaoduan had only been seven or eight years old when he died. How could he have any very high level of intelligence?

Li Si put Xiaoduan into the Dead Jade and began checking his own body. He discovered that his injuries only looked frightening. In truth, they were not that serious at all.

The most serious injury should have been the slap from that tiger, which had injured his body internally. However, although he still felt some pain in his internal organs now, it was not very serious.

The main reason he had fainted back then was excessive exhaustion. It did not have much to do with his injuries.

Li Si got out of bed and began putting on his shoes. When he put on his shoes, the skin of his face could not help twitching.

It hurt too much!

After putting on his shoes, Li Si walked out of the courtyard. At this moment, Zhang Jingcheng came over and supported him.

He swept his gaze around the courtyard and discovered that Luo Ye and Cao Meng were not there, so he knew the two of them had already gone back.

“Scholar Li, why don’t you keep lying down? Your body is not suited to being tossed about right now.” Zhang Jingcheng looked at Li Si and spoke somewhat worriedly.

Li Si smiled slightly, gently pushed away Zhang Jingcheng’s hand, waved his hand, and said, “My body is still all right. You don’t need to worry.”

“Then Scholar Li, are you preparing to go home now?” Seeing Li Si say this, Zhang Jingcheng sighed and asked.

Li Si gave an affirmative sound, then asked, “How much is the consultation fee this time?”

“How could I accept a consultation fee from you? Wouldn’t that be slapping my own face?” Zhang Jingcheng waved his hand and chuckled.

When Li Si heard Zhang Jingcheng say this, his eyebrows rose slightly, and his footsteps also stopped. His eyes stared at Zhang Jingcheng.

Seeing Li Si stare at him like this, Zhang Jingcheng’s expression became somewhat unnatural. He muttered, “Luo Ye already paid the consultation fee.”

After saying this, Zhang Jingcheng felt the atmosphere was somewhat awkward and quickly said, “Scholar Li, please wait a moment. I will go get your medicine.”

As soon as his words fell, he hurried toward the front hall.

Li Si smiled and shook his head. This Zhang Jingcheng could not be considered bad. He was quite a good doctor, just somewhat loose-tongued and petty-clever.

Afterward, he thought for a moment, then followed Zhang Jingcheng toward the front hall.

After arriving at the front hall, Zhang Jingcheng was preparing medicine. At this time, there were no other patients in the pharmacy, only a teenage boy preparing medicine with him.
