Shen Lian transmigrates into Uncle Jiu's world and becomes a short-lived apprentice with corpse poison in his veins and little time left to live.
As if that weren't bad enough, his senior brother Qiusheng, lost in lust, gets his yang energy drained by Dong Xiaoyu, the female ghost who leads the ghosts at the mass grave.
Uncle Jiu charges into the mass grave alone, only to be trapped by a formation cast by hundreds of ghosts!
Uncle Jiu spits blood and shouts, "Shen Lian! Hurry and recite the Rebirth Mantra to send them on their way!"
Coughing blood, Shen Lian steps into the ghost formation, and the [Myriad Worlds Black-Hearted Merit Loan] activates!
Send them on their way? Why do that when squeezing every last bit of value out of them is so much faster?
As long as he signs a "merit contract" with ghosts and monsters, he can force them to become his workers.
The merit they earn by catching ghosts, doing good deeds, and battling with magic is split ninety-ten with Shen Lian, and he can even share the cultivation of all his ghost servants!
Facing the vicious Dong Xiaoyu and her hundreds of ghosts,
Shen Lian tosses out a stack of blood-red IOUs. "You damaged public property at the funeral home and drained the yang energy of a Maoshan disciple. You owe a total of ten thousand merit points! Sign here and put down your fingerprints. You're all going to work in the factory to pay off your debt, or I'll rip out your souls and refine your spirits right here!"
The blood-red contract suppresses heaven and earth. The ghosts all kneel down and press their fingerprints onto it!
The next day, Old Master Ren bursts out of his coffin.
Before Uncle Jiu can even draw his sword, hundreds of vicious ghosts in funeral-home work uniforms charge in with shovels and pin Old Master Ren down, beating him mercilessly. "You dare delay my loan payments? Get him!"
The peachwood sword slips from Uncle Jiu's hand and clatters to the ground. "???"
