Chapter 1023: Chapter 380: Encounter; Little Friend [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
“The reason the Ghost Envoy gave me the opportunity to act as a double agent was because he previously identified me as a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect. When I entered the minor Secret Realm, I had mastered the Yin Ghost Banner and the Thousand Souls Banner, and also cultivated the Yin Ghost Sect’s Divine Soul Secret Technique.”
“From this, it seems like the person in front of us has also been identified as a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect in advance.”
Ji Yuan contemplated in his heart… in essence, it means that this person has also received the inheritance of the Yin Ghost Sect!
Although he didn’t know what the other had obtained, based on Ji Yuan’s previous experience, anything from the Yin Ghost Sect, whether it’s an array or a cultivation technique, is highly valuable!
Like the Yin Ghost Array that Ji Yuan first obtained in Cloud Rain Marsh, back then at what cultivation level was he?
He was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
And the result?
Now his Divine Sense has reached the Nascent Soul Stage, yet this thing is still useful.
The Thousand Souls Banner goes without saying. Ji Yuan felt that once his mana reached the Nascent Soul Stage and he upgraded it to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it would definitely bee another powerful means.
“The Nine Palace Soul Suppressing Sutra” is the same.
Although I only obtained the upper half currently, and it’s an inplete version, its enhancement to Divine Sense… Ji Yuan thought if he could enter the Refining Void realm or even the Body Integration Realm in the future, this cultivation technique would still be beneficial to him.
Therefore, anything from the Yin Ghost Sect is top-notch!
Ji Yuan once again used his Divine Sense to scrutinize this man, who had just donned the disciples’ robe of the Yin Ghost Sect. He had an average height, ordinary appearance, and as for cultivation… wow, he was at the Peak of Core Formation!
Ji Yuan had probed earlier but found the man was at the Core Formation Stage… and then seemed to have subconsciously overlooked it?
“It seems this person has most likely cultivated some sort of secret technique to conceal their cultivation. If you don’t examine closely, you’d really be deceived.”
Ji Yuan thought to himself and then put on the Yin Ghost Sect’s deacon robe again…
“…”
‘plicated, I thought after killing someone here, I’d obtain their Yin Ghost Sect ring and token, but it turned out useless, leaving me only as a disciple with just the Silver Ghost Order.’
‘This Silver Ghost Order can at most grant access to the Inner Realm, not the core area… still useless.’
Qi Xiu released his Divine Sense, warily observing the surroundings, while mulling over in his heart, ‘Had I known, I wouldn’t have killed the Silver Robe Steward and the few disciples with me. At least they could have served as a cover for me.’
‘Now I’m walking alone in this Hundred Ghosts Mist Forest, drawing as much attention as possible.’
As Qi Xiu mused, he willed his heart, and a blood-colored Flying Saber flew out from his Dantian, hovering next to him, moving with his thoughts.
But at that moment, someone suddenly entered the range of his Divine Sense, and he instinctively looked toward the northwest, coincidentally finding that person looking in his direction as well.
Though separated by countless trees, their gazes seemed to meet in mid-air.
… He discovered me!
This was indisputable. Qi Xiu’s Divine Sense scanned across, discovering that the person who used Divine Sense to find him was merely at the early stage of Core Formation!
This alone was enough to astonish Qi Xiu. Though he was at the Peak of Core Formation, his Divine Sense was suppressed to the early stage of Core Formation, thanks to cultivating the Divine Soul Secret Technique. Otherwise, he would have been pressed back to a Fake Pill or even the Peak of Foundation Establishment, not impossible.
But this person before him… early Core Formation, and their Divine Soul wasn’t suppressed?
Or, like himself, was an expertly disguised Peak Core Formation?
Qi Xiu was surprised, and Ji Yuan was equally astonished. He hadn’t expected to be discovered from such a distance, indicating the other’s Divine Soul surpassed those of the same tier.
Since they had already noticed each other, Ji Yuan decided not to hide and casually cupped his fists in the other’s direction, first asking:
“Friend, you look unfamiliar, it seems you are not from my Black and White Divine Hall.”
“Indeed not, I am Qi Xiu, a Loose Cultivator from the Eastern Realm, greeting this daoist friend,” Qi Xiu replied with a smile, returning the gesture.
“Black and White Divine Hall… Qiu Qianhai.”
All other names had been used up, and it just so happened that the name Qiu Qianhai… hadn’t been used for a long time. Plus, in this Rashamon Sea where there are no outsiders, borrowing this name shouldn’t be a problem, right?
“Brother Qiu, to achieve Silver Robe Steward at such a young age, truly marks you as a talented youth,” Qi Xiu remarked.
Ji Yuan naturally detected the underlying meaning in his words, merely suggesting how low his cultivation was yet possessing two Yin Ghost Sect rings.
“It’s all thanks to the favor of the old ancestor at home.”
Ji Yuan smiled with a slight hint of displeasure as he said, “Originally, I didn’t want to e to this Rashamon Sea at all, but the old ancestor at home kept insisting, there was really no alternative.”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu’s eyes instantly became a bit clearer, albeit slightly.
…Early-stage Core Formation, and claiming to have an old ancestor, especially in a place like the Black and White Divine Hall—all imply someone has a Nascent Soul Monster backing him.
‘It’s just, a Nascent Soul Cultivator with the surname Qiu, seems unheard of.’
Qi Xiu was puzzled in his heart, but considering this was in the Black and White Divine Hall, it made sense.
After all, even the Eight Holy Lands don’t know how many Nascent Soul Cultivators are within the Black and White Divine Hall, let alone a small Loose Cultivator like himself.
“Brother Qiu, what you say, this opportunity is something that many could not even envy.”
As they spoke, they unconsciously moved closer to each other until they were face-to-face in the dense forest.
Ji Yuan looked around as if searching for something, then said, “Daoist friend, since you have e to this Hundred Ghosts Mist Forest, why are you alone?”
