Chapter 1195 The Commoner Woman
"Wan Gui Yuan" is a unique place in the ghost realm where many vengeful spirits and ghosts gather. These ghosts, who have lost their minds due to excessive obsession or resentment, are basically unable to cultivate, so they spontaneously gather together to eke out a living.

Of course, if these wandering souls get a chance or let go of their obsessions, they can also become ghost cultivators, but only the lowest-ranking ghost servants. However, most vengeful spirits and ghosts drift here unconsciously all day long, and eventually they are either devoured by more powerful vengeful spirits or completely dissipate.

Therefore, every once in a while, the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm would take action to eliminate the resentment here, but he would not completely annihilate all the vengeful spirits here, because their existence could nurture soul veins.

Yunxi had done her homework before heading to the Ghost Realm. She thought that if she were an evil immortal, spreading the larvae of black beetles in the "Ten Thousand Ghosts' Grievance" would have unexpected effects, creating more ghost cultivators controlled by the insect race, and it would be difficult to detect.

She had communicated with Di Fei and learned that the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm had once cleansed the "Ten Thousand Ghosts' Grievance" on the grounds that the Evil Immortal used the Ten Thousand Ghosts' Grievance to create puppets and took the opportunity to capture high-level Ghost Immortals who had sided with the Evil Immortal. The matter caused quite a stir at the time, and the Ghost Lords and Ghost Kings in the Ghost Realm all knew about it.

To prevent puppets, which were completely controlled by the evil immortals, from infiltrating the high-ranking ghost immortals in the ghost realm, all the ghost lords and ghost kings went to see the Enchanting Ghost Emperor alone.

After they met the Ghost Emperor, several Ghost Lords and Ghost Kings disappeared. During that time, the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm was in a bad mood, and all the ghost cultivators in the Ghost Realm were walking on thin ice. No one dared to cause trouble. This situation continued until the eve of the Five Realms Grand Competition before it eased up.

Then, something happened at the Burial God Sea, which made the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm never feel at ease. So recently, the cultivators in the Ghost Realm have been very quiet, and the immortals who went to the Ghost Realm for training have also been very low-key.

Because the Langhuan Secret Realm is about to open, the immortals from the other four realms who have obtained entry slots have successively entered the Ghost Realm. They have the same plan as Yunxi: to prevent any accidents, they go to the Ghost Realm in advance to train while waiting for the secret realm to open.

Therefore, Yunxi's entry into the Ghost Realm is not abrupt, and Difei, because of her merit in protecting the elite disciples of the Ghost Realm, has also obtained the qualification to enter the Langhuan Secret Realm. The two reached an agreement in private to travel together after entering the secret realm, so that they can make the most of their respective advantages.

As for Yunxi's choice to enter from "Wan Gui Yuan", besides wanting to see the specific situation here and explore whether the evil immortal had left any tricks up his sleeve, it was also because entering the ghost realm from here would take the shortest time.

Before entering the "Ten Thousand Ghosts' Grudge", Yunxi summoned Ziyan to cover her body. The evil energy here could not cause her much harm, but caution was ingrained in her bones, so she still took precautions as usual.

Yunxi's arrival attracted the vengeful spirits and ghosts that were wandering around. They curiously surrounded her, observing this intruder. Some of the bolder vengeful spirits even tried to rush into Yunxi's body, but they saw the consequences the next moment.

All the vengeful spirits and ghosts that tried to touch Yunxi's body were instantly engulfed by purple flames and completely annihilated a moment later. This caused the surrounding ghosts to scream in alarm and then scatter and flee, no longer approaching Yunxi.

The black mist in front of Yunxi's eyes instantly dissipated, allowing her to see the path ahead. The ghosts that had been curiously surrounding her earlier had all hidden underground and in the surrounding trees, rocks, and bushes, secretly watching her with their reddish eyes.

Yunxi stepped into the dark forest and spent two hours traversing it. During this time, she encountered the spirits of beasts. After failing to attack her, these spirits could only retreat far behind her, but dared not approach her again.

After leaving the forest, she saw a thatched hut surrounded by a fence made of sparse trees. The fence gate was open, as if waiting for visitors.

Yunxi's eyes flashed, and she stared at the thatched hut for a while before preparing to leave. At this moment, a spirited woman in plain clothes walked out of the hut. Upon seeing Yunxi, she gave a polite, slight smile and said:
"It's rare for a fairy to pass by here. If you're not in a hurry, you can rest here for a while before you go. My soup-making skills are superb, and only those with the right fate can drink it."

Yunxi withdrew her raised foot, cupped her hands in greeting to the woman, and entered the courtyard. The moment she stepped into the courtyard, she felt a lightness in her body, and the suppression she had been under earlier disappeared.

"Please come in, fairy."

The woman smiled and led Yunxi into the thatched hut.

Upon entering the thatched hut, Yunxi discovered that it was a different world altogether. It was not as dilapidated and cramped as it appeared on the surface. On the contrary, it was quite spacious, with six square tables and a black wooden counter near the kitchen, which was probably where the women often stayed.

There were guests at five of the square tables, and they all looked at Yunxi with curiosity after she entered.

Yunxi consciously went to the only empty table and sat down, using her almond-shaped eyes to observe these people—or rather, these ghosts. The woman served the soup to those who had arrived first, then came to Yunxi and said with a smile:

"Honorable guest, it is a pleasure to have you here. I have specially prepared a pot of soup for you, but it is not ready yet. It will be ready in half an hour. Please be patient."

Yunxi said nonchalantly:

"It's alright, good soup takes time. I'll just wait. I'm not in a hurry."

The woman in plain clothes smiled even more after hearing this. She turned to look at the guests at the other four tables, who were drinking soup while secretly glancing at Yunxi and listening intently to their conversation.

"Stop looking, finish your soup and leave quickly, don't delay your aunt's business."

These guests didn't get angry when they were yelled at. After finishing their soup, they left behind a black crystal and then disappeared on the spot.

The woman in plain clothes waved her sleeve to collect the crystals, then went to tidy the table, took the empty bowls back to the kitchen, and sat down next to Yunxi, smiling as she said:

"I'm sure you have many questions, and I happen to have some free time to answer them for you, Fairy."

Yunxi smoothed her sleeves and looked into the eyes of the woman in plain clothes, saying:

"How should I address the proprietress?"

"My surname is Meng. You can call me Madam Meng, but the guests here prefer to call me Granny Meng."

Yunxi suddenly realized:
"So you are Meng Po. I suppose they can be reincarnated after drinking the soup you brew."

"Yes."

"But shouldn't you be on the Bridge of Helplessness in the underworld?"

Lady Meng covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"This is my clone, because there are a large number of souls here who want to be reincarnated."

Yunxi nodded in understanding, but she still raised her own question:

"I have already entered the path of cultivation, and even if I perish, my soul will return to heaven and earth. I'm afraid I won't be able to taste the soup made by Lady Meng."

Lady Meng smiled and asked in return:
"Who says my soup can only wash away memories? My soup can also help you recall your past life."
