Chapter 113 - 29: A New Source of Wealth



The mansion was quite imposing, with spacious grounds, intricately carved beams, and painted rafters adorned with various exotic flowers and rare herbs.

This was the residence assigned to Su Jie by the Sect after his promotion to inner disciple, a stark contrast to his narrow cave dwelling from before.

In front of the main gate, having been informed earlier, a dozen or so servants, maids, and chefs were waiting at the doorstep; as soon as Su Jie appeared, they all knelt down in unison.

“Greetings to Mr. Su.”

They knelt on the ground without daring to move an inch until Su Jie spoke.

They now belonged to Su Jie’s personal possessions, given to him along with the mansion; Su Jie could kill them on a whim without any repercussions.

“Rise, go prepare dinner. I will be hosting friends tonight.”

Waving his hand, Su Jie walked into the mansion.

The group of servants breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed their new master was reasonably approachable.

He pushed open the door to the mansion’s practice room, which was simply laid out but indeed the most crucial part of the estate.@@novelbin@@

“As expected, the spiritual energy here is much denser than in the outside world.”

After taking a few breaths, Su Jie felt the increase in spiritual energy and looked down at his feet.

The earth’s vein here constituted a minor blessed land, not very large—only a few dozen square meters—but sufficient to speed up cultivation.

If Su Jie had such a blessed spot for cultivation in the past, he would have been ecstatic for days and nights.

Unfortunately, now that Su Jie had the White Bone Tree, he looked down on this small blessed land. The White Bone Tree provided spiritual energy at a much higher efficiency.

Not in a rush to cultivate, Su Jie took out a strand of black hair, to be precise, Ghost Hair, from his storage bag.

The Ghost Hair wrapped around Su Jie’s arm. He hadn’t experimented with it on the road, but now, settling down, Su Jie planned to see what effects this relic dropped by the female ghost might have.

As he tried to infuse some spiritual power, Su Jie saw that the Ghost Hair merely writhed more actively yet showed nothing extraordinary.

“Could it be…”

Su Jie thought of something and tried to touch his scalp with the Ghost Hair.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Like a shark sensing blood, the strand of Ghost Hair instantly burrowed into Su Jie’s scalp and began to grow wildly.

At a thought from Su Jie, the Ghost Hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swelling and expanding rapidly, overflowing with the intent to kill, shredding everything ahead according to Su Jie’s will.

This was one of Tan Qing the female ghost’s attack abilities, albeit a bit weakened.

However, Su Jie’s face showed little joy; the Ghost Hair was powerful, but uncontrollable, growing wildly and falling to the floor, dragging at a length of three meters.

Crack, crack.

Using the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, Su Jie cut off the Ghost Hair, but it continued to grow frenziedly until it reached three meters in length, similar to the original length of the female ghost.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Su Jie’s face was full of speechlessness; he had some trouble accepting this appearance.

“Forget it, I’m not lacking in attack power right now.”

After giving it some serious thought, Su Jie decided to remove the Ghost Hair for the sake of his own majestic and valiant image.

Not sure if it absorbed Su Jie’s blood, but this strand of Ghost Hair became even more domineering. It wrapped around him on its own, as if seeking a host, emanating a strong aggression. The twisted hairs filled the practice room, intent on ripping and shredding everything.

In addition, Su Jie’s own hair began to grow wildly again, though without any offensive power this time—merely growth influenced by radiation from the Ghost Hair.

Hmph.

With a flutter of his eyes, Su Jie released a Purple Light Ray, instantly dissolving a large mass of Ghost Hair, which then slowly withered; however, it still possessed strong radiating abilities, causing Su Jie’s hair to begin growing wildly as soon as it came near.

“Could it be that only a ghost can truly control this thing?”

Su Jie was somewhat helpless; it was, after all, a product of the female ghost’s body, so it wasn’t surprising that as a human, he couldn’t precisely control it.

If Su Jie could sacrifice his personal image a bit, its power was indeed not bad, but unless absolutely necessary, Su Jie wouldn’t really consider it.

“Go collect dust in my Storage Bag, I’m not bald and don’t need you.”

The more he thought about it, the angrier Su Jie got, cursing and picking up the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword like a razor, once again cutting off the hair that had grown down to his legs, preparing to take this Ghost Hair back into the Storage Bag so it wouldn’t keep radiating and making his hair grow.

But it was this very complaint that sparked a flash of spirit light in Su Jie’s mind, and he suddenly turned to look at the strand of Ghost Hair in his hand.

“Right, I’m not bald, but there are plenty of people who are!”

Su Jie slapped his thigh, having thought of a new use for it.

This thing wasn’t just for combat, it could also be used for hair growth!

To verify this bold idea in his mind, Su Jie immediately began a new experiment.

This time, Su Jie wasn’t testing the attacking power of the clump of Ghost Hair, but the radiant ability of the Ghost Hair radiation to make human hair grow after radiation exposure.

An hour later.

Su Jie sat cross-legged on the floor, with a basin of clear water in front of him, in which floated the strand of Ghost Hair.

Su Jie first shaved his own hair clean, revealing a shiny bald head, then dabbed a bit of the water from the basin onto his head.

Whoosh whoosh.

Strands of shiny black hair sprouted from his scalp, quickly hanging down to his waist and continuing to grow to several meters before stopping.

“The effect is still too strong.”

Su Jie stood up and shouted outside, “Ah Fu, bring in more water.”

On hearing the voice, the old steward named Ah Fu hurried in with several maids and servants, carrying a large tub of water inside.

Su Jie put the Ghost Hair into the water tub, then called Ah Fu to halt.

“Does the young master need anything else?”

Ah Fu asked, trembling.

“Help me with an experiment.”

Su Jie looked at Ah Fu’s thinning crown and nodded in satisfaction.

“Ah!”

At this statement, remembering all sorts of terrifying rumors about Demon Cultivators eating people and conducting human experiments, Ah Fu turned pale with fright and his legs went weak.

Su Jie had no idea what messy things Ah Fu was thinking about and, feeling that the soaking time was about right, he picked up a ladle of water and poured it over Ah Fu’s head.

At the same time, Su Jie put a hand on Ah Fu’s shoulder to check for changes in his body.

Ah Fu trembled all over, clenching his teeth, waiting for the cruel fate to come.

However, the expected pain did not arrive, and instead, Ah Fu felt a bit of itchiness on his scalp.

Then, through the mirror placed in front of him, Ah Fu saw something that shocked him beyond belief.

His head, which had been balding for years, was suddenly covered with thick hair, and he instantly looked several years younger.

“Eh, is this, do I have hair now?”

Ah Fu touched his head in disbelief, it wasn’t bald anymore, this time he felt a handful of lush hair.

“No side effects, it worked.”

Su Jie also finally showed a smile, withdrawing his hand. He had just used his Spiritual Power to probe, and the water flow only stimulated hair growth without damaging any other part of the body.

This meant that right after his timber business, Su Jie was about to master another code to wealth.

The hair loss market on Blue Star, including wigs, hair transplants, maintenance, hair loss treatment, and more, was worth trillions of dollars.
