"No problem, guaranteed to be complete."

The Deceitful Ghost was ambitious, and since it was rare for him to have an urgent matter that required showcasing his ability, he was more concerned about it than anyone else.

Because he heard from other hungry ghosts that among the hungry ghosts in Jinlan Mountain, there was one who was a hunter and cook in life, who had already made beef jerky that tasted exactly the same.

It's just that the materials were wrong, it could only be eaten as beef jerky.

Because this guy really used beef, a kind of beef from Dazhen to make beef jerky.

Using real beef to create the taste of fake beef jerky was also a real talent.

The Deceitful Ghost was just waiting for the moment to make fake beef jerky so he could be the first to get his hands on it.

He was confident he would be the first batch to get it, but what if in the first batch, only one fake beef jerky was successful?

What if there was none in the future?

First, roll everyone over, especially that elusive fellow who constantly wore a sour face, was ugly, loved to show off, and whom he could only occasionally hear a bit of footsteps from—the Gatekeeper Hungry Ghost.

No matter what, he had to rank ahead of that guy.

Every time he went to the club, that guy would silently appear behind him, reminding him to report first, follow the rules, and that he couldn't just walk in whenever he came.

Preaching about how their family business was big and that rules had to start from themselves, otherwise, the people below would imitate them, and so on.

Thinking about this, the Deceitful Ghost felt pumped up, personally preparing these matters.

He didn't trust others to do it.

He went back to the shop, listing the downstream channel merchants, ensuring they could all get their hands on those goods.

Every material, where it came from, was listed clearly.

From every material on the list, to the alternative materials, everything was laid out clearly.

Within a day, dozens of channel merchants were informed, and he procured one or several types of materials from them.

Three days later, the first batch of purchased materials appeared in Almsgiving Town.

Within ten days, all the materials on the list, including the alternative materials, were gathered together.

On that day, the materials were delivered to Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing personally checked them over, looking somewhat surprised at the Deceitful Ghost.

"Nicely done, you even prepared the alternative materials, and each amount is quite substantial."

"Just doing my duty, young master praises too much." The Deceitful Ghost smiled humbly.

Yu Ziqing gave him a small jade bottle of sweet rain.

"Take it, you've done very well all these years, it's what you deserve."

"Thank you, young master."

The Deceitful Ghost tucked the jade bottle into his sleeve, grinning from ear to ear.

Yu Ziqing never cared how the distributed sweet rain was used.

The Deceitful Ghost was reluctant to use it himself; this stuff was genuinely hard currency.

With this stuff, any channel could be opened.

He could tell that his young master didn't seem to have a great impression of Daqian, almost never going there or having much involvement.

Were it not like this, he would have already extended his reach into Daqian territory.

Yu Ziqing got the materials, continued roaming within thousands of miles of Almsgiving Town.

The fetus hair Yang wanted, he had to scout first to see whose house was about to have a child.

Preparations had to be made, otherwise, if you suddenly visited when someone had just had a child, and said you wanted to cut the child's hair, you could end up being branded a Human Trafficker.

After delivering the materials to Yang, Yu Ziqing changed his attire, pinched an average-looking face, neither handsome nor ugly.

He went to a small town, stood outside a household.

Gently knocked on the door, a two-tiered Cultivator opened the door, saw the visitor, sensed a bit of the aura Yu Ziqing purposely revealed, and immediately spoke.

"Junior Jia Xibei, unaware of senior's arrival, may I ask the purpose?"

"Just passing through by chance, sensed your daughter is about to be born, also fateful."

Yu Ziqing took out a Protective Talisman mixed with a bit of Seven Yin King Bone Powder and handed it over.

"Children are prone to evil disturbances, a small trinket, let her wear it, no nightmares, no night terrors."

The Cultivator took a look at it, instantly realized the so-called little trinket was quite valuable, quickly inviting Yu Ziqing inside.

Yu Ziqing sat down, drinking his first cup of tea, when suddenly there was a commotion, the child was about to be born.

Yu Ziqing sat there quietly waiting, vaguely sensing a subtle change in Spiritual Energy.

In hardship, there was a strand of extremely pure Spiritual Energy contained.

The vitality of this house seemed to increase at this moment.

Meanwhile, externally, it seemed like some evil sensed this, watching from afar.

Yu Ziqing's thoughts stirred, he looked outside, a thread of yin qi in the corner directly dissipated.

After two hours, crying came from the backyard, and everything went smoothly.

Yu Ziqing drank the still warm tea, chuckled.

He hadn't thought, one day, he also could be a big shot giving others opportunities.

He sat here, ensuring that today this household would experience no major disruptions during childbirth.

Not long after, the young Cultivator came over carrying a child wrapped in swaddling clothes.

"May I ask the senior's noble name?"

"Bu Kesuo."

"Junior dares ask, could the senior consider giving my daughter a name?"

Yu Ziqing looked at the young Cultivator, this guy was clever indeed.

If he named the child, a bond was formed.

This fetus hair wasn't going to be easy to obtain.

"The child's formal name is best left for a few years for safety; for now, let's just have a childhood nickname, call her Yiyi."

Yu Ziqing looked at the sleeping child, who resembled a little monkey.

"I wish to have a few strands of fetus hair, might I trouble you for this?"

"Of course, of course."
