Lana remained silent. The ghost shopkeeper studied her expression before chuckling.
"All right. Since you have spent so much here, I will give you some useful information."
He leaned closer and lowered his voice.
"Having a seven-thousand-year-old ghost is actually quite normal in the Ghost Domain. After all, killing one isn't hard."
Lana listened carefully. The shopkeeper continued.
"Once ghosts complete their cultivation and reach the seven-thousand-year level, they have to cross the Nether River. Once they cross it, they become Ghost Kings. However, during the transformation and after the transformation, the ghost king is in a vulnerable position for the next 5 hours."
He paused before continuing.
"Because of that, other ghosts constantly hunt and kill these newly formed ghost kings for their ghost essence. Over time, this became so common that seven-thousand-year-old ghost essence is no longer particularly rare."
Lana frowned.
