Chapter 298 Acquaintance
A few days later.

Qin Ming arrived at the border of Liang State. After he prepared to hand over the longevity pill to Xuanxi Valley, he would travel to Wu State.

As for Liang State, there was a ghost disaster and the situation was not very stable. It was not suitable for him to stay there for long. It was better for him to stay away from it.

"I counted on my fingers and found that I am already 120 years old."

"Now I have initially cultivated the Green Emperor Wood Emperor Holy Body, and with the help of my life-saving spiritual plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, Dust-killing Pill and Jade Emperor Spirit Rice, I estimate that in another thirty to fifty years, I will be able to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core."

"Such a fast cultivation speed is considered one of the best among the few Jindan stage cultivators in the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world."

"So, it's better to be steady."

His current strength is considered to be good enough among the Jindan stage.

He also owns three demon king-level pets, but even so, he adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile as much as possible.

As long as no one is trying to take advantage of him, Qin Ming generally won't force himself to take the lead.

After all, he should have a long lifespan of more than two thousand years.

Apart from anything else, it is basically no problem to cultivate to the late stage of Golden Elixir.

Because of this, he had no plans to travel to the Great Jin Dynasty in the short term. After all, even the Yuanying True Lord existed there, and the Lihuo Palace was still fighting a powerful enemy, which was quite dangerous.

"At least we have to wait until our cultivation breaks through to the middle and late stages, and the situation in Dajin stabilizes before we can go traveling and exploring."

"No. The middle and late stages of the golden elixir are still not very stable. Let's wait until the golden elixir is complete."

"Forget it. If I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, that would be the best."

"In short, I am the ceiling fighter in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World. Apart from a few old monsters in the late Jindan stage, no one can threaten me. I will just stay alive and develop first."

Qin Ming planned secretly and flew towards Xuanxi Valley.

……

Liang State, border of Jingzhou.

On a mountain road thousands of miles away from Xuanxi Valley.

A convoy of seventy or eighty people was moving forward at a very fast speed. There were old, weak, women and children in the carriages. They looked like they were fleeing.

"Everyone, pay attention. We are about to pass through the Yellow Wind Post. Have you taken the Hidden Spirit Pills given to you?"

"Once you pass this area, my fellow disciples will come to pick you up, and you will be safe then."

The person who was speaking in the carriage in front was a young female cultivator with pretty face, slim figure, and in the late stage of Qi training.

This woman was none other than Yan Ruyan, whom Qin Ming had befriended for a year when he sneaked into Xuanxi Valley in order to obtain the elixir formula.

"Cousin, this Hidden Spirit Pill tastes really bad and makes me feel sick. Why should we leave our hometown in Chushui County?"

"There are so many monsters with green faces and fangs along the way. It's really scary." A round-faced child with pigtails asked innocently with blinking eyes.

Yan Ruyan was saddened when she heard this and sighed: "Alas, it's because of the ghost disaster."

She touched the child's head, then stood up and glanced at the tribesmen behind her, all of whom were low-level cultivators in the early to middle stages of Qi training.

The elderly, the weak, women and children were even more powerless.

"If it weren't for the rampant ghost disaster, we wouldn't have to migrate our entire family thousands of miles away."

"Chushui County will soon be invaded and occupied by ghosts."

The current situation of Xuanxi Valley is worrying both internally and externally, so naturally, it has no time to take care of the clansmen of these Qi training disciples.

They can only solve the resettlement problem by themselves.

Ghosts are extremely sensitive to the magical aura of cultivators, so Yan Ruyan can only let her clansmen take the Soul-Hidden Pill, bypass the road occupied by ghosts, and head to Xuanxi Valley.

This soul-hiding pill can conceal the magic power of the cultivator and fake the same aura as that of a ghost, thus deceiving ordinary ghosts.

But it doesn't have much effect on high-level ghosts.

Along the way, Yan Ruyan was also frightened and worried. She encountered many waves of ghosts and almost got exposed several times.

Fortunately, they traveled day and night for more than half a month and were not far from Xuanxi Valley.

When she passes through Huangfenggang, she only needs to send out a signal and her fellow disciples’ magic boats will come to pick her up.

With her status as an outer disciple, even if she could not arrange her clansmen to move into Xuanxi Valley, placing them in Moyuan Immortal City would be much safer than outside.

The people of Yanjiabao had experienced a long journey and were exhausted. They just hoped to reach their destination as soon as possible.

"Yan'er, you are the most promising one in our Yan Family Castle, and you have the highest level of cultivation. Just make the arrangements, and we will listen to you."

An elder in the tribe expressed his opinion.

Yan Ruyan nodded, and then continued to lead her people forward.

An hour later.

The Yan family passed Huangshan Hill safely and entered a river valley.

Yan Ruyan let out a long sigh and took out a communication talisman and sent it out.

Then she turned around and said to everyone, "You guys take a rest first, my fellow disciples will be here soon."

Another half hour passed.

A khaki-colored light came from far away and landed in front of the Yan family, revealing a Xuanxi Valley Dharma Boat that was ten feet in size. "Junior Sister Yan, are these the only ones? Are they all here?"

A handsome young monk in a yellow robe flew down from the Dharma Boat and asked Yan Ruyan with a smile.

Yan Ruyan was delighted to see this and immediately stepped forward.

"Brother Cao Yun, my clansmen are all here. Sorry to bother you."

"Junior Sister Yan, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small matter." Cao Yun said with a smile.

"Let's leave this place as soon as possible. The speed at which the ghost disaster is spreading has been getting more and more serious."

After saying that, Yan Ruyan was about to call on the tribesmen to get on board, but she frowned, as if she noticed something was wrong.

So she turned to Cao Yun and asked, "Senior Brother Cao, where is Senior Brother Liang? Is he coming with you?"

"Oh, haha, Junior Brother Liang is on a mission again and can't get away." Cao Yun explained with a smile on his face.

But at this moment.

A fist-sized crystal ball suddenly appeared in Yan Ruyan's hand, with a strange ray of dark yin energy appearing inside it.

"Oh no! It's a ghost!"

This soul-revealing bead is a low-grade magical weapon given to these disciples by Xuanxi Valley.

It can reveal the evil spirits and negative energy around.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"I didn't expect you to be so cautious."

"I wanted to amuse you more."

Cao Yun's face was hideous, and a thick dark green ghost aura was emanating from his body. His face changed into a rotten one, with white bones and fangs exposed, and a dark green ghost fire coming out of his empty eye sockets.

He stretched out a pair of withered and sharp eyes and waved them casually. Suddenly, a large group of ghosts in the Qi Refining Stage emerged from the magic ship behind him and pounced towards the members of the Yan family with bared fangs and claws.

"Foundation-building ghost!"

Yan Ruyan's face turned pale and his eyes showed despair. It was obvious that his fellow disciple had met with an accident on the way.

"Leave it to me. It's been a long time since I tasted such a tender monk."

The foundation-building ghost laughed grimly, and rolled up a black mist, sweeping towards Yan Ruyan.

The members of the Yan family had low cultivation levels and had never seen such a horrific scene. They were no match for these ghosts and were completely unable to match them. They all trembled in fear.

Yan Ruyan made a hand gesture and a fire talisman appeared, transforming into a flaming bird that swooped down towards the black fog.

Although fire-attributed spells have a natural restraint on ghosts and spirits, in the face of a huge gap in strength, they are still like a gnat trying to shake a tree.

The first-grade, top-quality fire talisman she cast was like mud dropped into a sea of ​​clouds, unable to create even a single wave.

Swish!
A black gas transformed into a ghost face and suddenly jumped out, instantly blasting Yan Ruyan away, and she fell heavily dozens of feet away.

"Take your life!"

Then the ghost fog surged and was about to swallow her whole.

at this time.

boom!
An extremely huge spiritual pressure suddenly descended!
The hideous laugh of the foundation-building ghost suddenly stopped.

At the same time, the ghosts nearby seemed to be crushed by an unknown force and exploded one by one.

"Huh? These ghosts, could they be the astonishing number of bones in the cave at the bottom of the lake?"

A faint voice was heard, and then Qin Ming's figure emerged.

He took a quick look at the foundation-building ghost in front of him. Looking at its appearance and clothing, he felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Isn't this the leader of the Three Friends of Meishan who entered the Taihu ruins?
He shook his head, and then with a sweep of his mind, the ghost could not even scream, and instantly turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!"

Yan Ruyan, who was lying on the ground, had survived a desperate situation. She did not even bother to wipe the blood off her face and hurriedly thanked Qin Ming.

She didn't even see the other party make a move just now. Hundreds of ghosts around and the foundation-building ghost were killed in an instant.

What kind of accomplishment is this?
Her cultivation was shallow, so she didn't quite understand it.

The people of the Yan family also escaped death and gathered around Qin to thank him.

Qin Ming smiled faintly. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he was about to reach Xuanxi Valley today.

And it was this girl named Yan Ruyan.

But now that Qin Ming appears in his original appearance, the other party naturally cannot recognize him.

After all, when he sneaked into Xuanxi Valley, he used Yu Changqing's alias.

"Well, forget it."

"I just happened to be going to Xuanxi Valley, so it's just a piece of cake."
