Chapter 298 Acquaintance

Several days later.

Qin Ming arrived at the border of Liang Kingdom. He planned to deliver the Longevity Fruit Pill to Profound Stream Valley and then travel to Wu Kingdom for a while.

As for Liang Kingdom experiencing the Ghost Plague, and the situation being unstable, it is not suitable for him to stay longer. It's better to stay away.

"Calculating with my fingers, I am already one hundred and twenty years old."

"Now I have initially refined the Green Emperor Wood Monarch Sacred Body, coupled with my Natal Spirit Plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, supplemented by Dust Vanquishing Pill and Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, I estimate that in another thirty to fifty years, I can breakthrough to the Mid Core Formation Stage."

"With such a fast Cultivation speed, even looking at the entire Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, among the few Core Formation Stage Cultivators, I can be considered one of the best."

"Therefore, it's better to be more cautious."

His current strength can be considered quite good within the Core Formation Stage.

Moreover, possessing three Demon King-level Spirit Pets, even so, he still adheres to the principle of acting as low-profile as possible.

As long as others do not come up with ideas against him, under normal circumstances, Qin Ming will not take the initiative.

After all, he has a long Lifespan of more than two thousand years.

Not to mention anything else, Cultivation to the Late Golden Core Stage is basically not a problem.

Precisely because of this, he did not plan to travel to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in a short time, after all, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs exist there, and the Fire Palace is still fighting a war with a powerful opponent, which is indeed a bit dangerous.

"At least, I have to wait until my Cultivation breaks through to the Mid to Late Stage, and wait for the situation in Great Jin to stabilize before going to travel and explore."

"No, that's not right... Mid to Late Golden Core Stage is still not too safe, I should wait until Golden Core Perfection."

"Or forget it, if I can breakthrough to Nascent Soul, that would naturally be the best..."

"In short, in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, I can be considered Ceiling level combat power. Except for a few old monsters in the Late Golden Core Stage, no one can threaten me. I should play it safe and develop for a while first."

Qin Ming secretly planned, flying towards the direction of Profound Stream Valley.

…

Liang Kingdom, Mirror Province Border.

On a mountain path thousands of miles away from Profound Stream Valley.

A convoy of seventy to eighty people was traveling at high speed. There were old, weak, women and children in the carriages, looking like refugees.

"Everyone pay attention, we are about to pass through Yellow Wind Ridge. Have you all taken the Spirit Concealing Pills?"

"After passing through this area, my Senior Brother from the same sect will come to meet us. Then it will be safe."

The person speaking from the carriage in front was a Young Female Cultivator, with a beautiful and elegant appearance, a slender figure, and Late Qi Condensation Stage Cultivation.

This Female Cultivator was Yan Ruyan, whom Qin Ming had planted land for a year when he infiltrated Profound Stream Valley to obtain the Pill Recipe.

"Aunt, this Spirit Concealing Pill tastes really awful, and it makes my stomach uncomfortable. Why do we have to leave our hometown Chu Water Prefecture?"

"There are so many blue-faced and long-fanged monsters along the way, they are really scary." A round-faced child with a sky-piercing braid, blinking his eyes, asked innocently.

Yan Ruyan heard this and became sad and dejected, sighing and saying: "Alas, it's because of the Ghost Plague…"

She patted the child's head, then stood up and glanced at the group of Clan Members behind her, all of them were Low Rank Early to Mid Qi Condensation Stage Cultivators.

Those old, weak, women and children are even weaker, unable to truss a chicken.

"If it weren't for the Ghost Plague, we wouldn't have needed to travel thousands of miles to move the entire clan."

"Chu Water Prefecture will soon be invaded and occupied by Ghostly Creatures…"

Profound Stream Valley's current situation is also beset with troubles at home and abroad, so naturally they have no time to attend to these Qi Condensation Disciples' Clan Members.

They can only rely on themselves to settle and place them.

Ghostly Creatures are extremely sensitive to Cultivators' Magical Power Aura. Yan Ruyan can only have the Clan Members take Spirit Concealing Pills, bypass the Roads occupied by Ghostly Creatures, and go to Profound Stream Valley.

This Spirit Concealing Pill can conceal the Magical Power on Cultivators' bodies, and forge an Aura exactly the same as Ghostly Souls, to deceive ordinary Ghostly Creatures.

But it doesn't have much effect on High-Tier Ghostly Creatures.

Along the way, Yan Ruyan was also trembling with fear, encountering many waves of Ghostly Creatures, and several times was almost exposed.

Fortunately, they traveled day and night for more than half a month, and are not far from Profound Stream Valley.

After passing through this Yellow Wind Ridge, as long as she sends a Signal, a Dharma Boat from her sect will come to meet them.

With her Status as an Outer Sect Disciple, even if she cannot arrange for the Clan Members to enter Profound Stream Valley, settling them in Ink Abyss Immortal City is much safer than outside.

The Clan Members of Yan Family Fortress, having experienced a long journey and travel fatigue, were all exhausted, only hoping to reach their destination quickly.

"Yan'er, in our Yan Family Fortress, you are the most promising and have the highest Cultivation. Just make the arrangements, we will all listen to you."

An elder in the clan stated.

Yan Ruyan nodded, and immediately continued to lead the Clan Members forward in haste.

An hour later.

The Yan Family and others passed through Yellow Mountain Ridge without any real danger, entering a River Valley.

Yan Ruyan breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a Message Talisman and sent it out.

Then she turned her head and said to everyone: "You all rest for a while, my fellow disciple will be here soon."

Another half hour passed.

A khaki-yellow Escaping Light came from far to near, landed in front of the Yan Family and others, revealing a Profound Stream Valley Dharma Boat about ten zhang (roughly 100 feet) in size. "Junior Sister Yan, are these all of them? Is everyone here?"

A handsome and unrestrained Young Cultivator wearing a yellow robe, flew off the Dharma Boat, and asked Yan Ruyan with a smile.

Yan Ruyan was overjoyed to see this, and immediately went forward to meet him.

"Senior Brother Cao Yun, my Clan Members are all here, thank you for your trouble."

"Junior Sister Yan, you're welcome, it's a trivial matter," Cao Yun said with a smile.

"Let's leave this place quickly, the speed of the Ghost Plague spreading recently has become more and more serious."

Having said that, Yan Ruyan was about to call the Clan Members to board the boat, but she furrowed her brow, as if she had noticed something was wrong.

So she asked Cao Yun again: "Senior Brother Cao Yun, where is Senior Brother Liang? Did he come with you?"

"Oh hehe, Junior Brother Liang has gone out on a Mission again and can't get away," Cao Yun explained with a smile on his face.

But at this moment.

In Yan Ruyan's hand, a fist-sized crystal ball obscurely appeared, and within it, a strand of dark black Yin Energy eerily manifested.

"Not good! It's Ghostly Creatures!"

This Soul Manifestation Pearl is a Low-Grade Magic Tool issued by Profound Stream Valley to these Disciples.

It can manifest the Ghostly Yin Energy in the surroundings.

"Heh heh heh!"

"Didn't expect you little girl to be quite cautious."

"This Seat originally wanted to play with you a bit more."

Only to see Cao Yun's face become ferocious, his whole body emitting dense dark green Ghost Qi, transforming into a rotten face, showing white bones and fangs, and a patch of dark green Ghost Fire flickering in his hollow eye sockets.

He stretched out a pair of withered and sharp hands, casually waved, and from the Dharma Boat behind him, a large group of Qi Condensation Stage Ghostly Creatures suddenly emerged, pouncing towards the Yan Family's Clan Members, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

"Foundation Establishment Ghostly Creature!"

Yan Ruyan's expression turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with despair. It was clear that his fellow disciple had met with misfortune on the way.

"You will be left for This Seat. It has been a long time since I tasted such tender Cultivators."

That Foundation Establishment Ghostly Creature sneered, rolled up a Black Mist, and swept towards Yan Ruyan.

The Yan Family's Clan Members, with their low Cultivation, had never seen such a terrifying scene, and were completely not opponents for these Ghostly Creatures, all trembling with fear.

Yan Ruyan made Hand Seals with her hand, a Fire Talisman appeared, transformed into a Fire Bird and pounced towards the Black Mist.

Fire attribute Spells, although having a natural restraining effect on Nether Soul Ghostly Creatures, in the face of the gap in Strength, it is still like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

The High-Grade First Tier Fire Blaze Talisman she cast, was like mud ox entering the sea, unable to stir up even a ripple.

Swoosh! A Black Qi transformed into a Ghost Face suddenly darted out, instantly blasting Yan Ruyan away, heavily crashing down dozens of zhang (roughly hundreds of feet) away.

"Take your life!"

Immediately following, the Ghost Mist surged, about to devour her whole.

Just at this moment.

Boom! An extremely huge Spiritual Pressure suddenly descended! The sinister laughter of that Foundation Establishment Ghostly Creature suddenly stopped abruptly.

At the same time, the nearby Ghostly Creatures were like being crushed by an unknown power, bursting open one after another.

"Huh? These Ghostly Creatures... could they be those astonishing Quantity of Skeletons in the Lake Bottom Cavern?"

A faint voice came out, and then Qin Ming's figure emerged.

He slightly sized up the Foundation Establishment Ghostly Creature in front of him, looking at its appearance and clothing style, he felt it was somewhat familiar.

Suddenly a Spirit Light flashed in his mind, isn't this the leader of the Three Friends of Plum Mountain when they entered the Tai Lake Ruins? He shook his head, then swept with his Divine Sense, and that Ghostly Creature couldn't even scream, instantly turning into Dust, dissipating In the Air...

"Thank you very much, Senior, for your life-saving grace!"

Yan Ruyan on the ground, having survived in desperate circumstances, had no time to wipe the Fresh Blood on her face, and hurriedly bowed to Qin Ming to express her gratitude.

She hadn't even seen the other party take action, and the hundreds of Ghostly Creatures and that Foundation Establishment Ghostly Creature around them were instantly exterminated.

What level of Cultivation is this? Her Cultivation is shallow, and she didn't quite understand.

The Yan Family and others also escaped from death, and surrounded him to express their gratitude to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming smiled faintly, unexpectedly encountering such a thing today, just when he was about to arrive at Profound Stream Valley.

And it was still this Female Cultivator Yan Ruyan.

However, now that Qin Ming appeared in his original appearance, the other party naturally couldn't recognize him.

After all, when he infiltrated Profound Stream Valley back then, he used Yu Changqing's Alias.

"Mm, no need."

"This Seat is going to Profound Stream Valley anyway, it's just a trifling matter."
