"This …" A hesitant expression appeared on the waiter's face.
Liu Ming smiled and tossed an ingot of silver onto the table.
The waiter's gaze was fixed on the silver, and a hint of greed appeared on his face.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Ming walked out of the restaurant. He did not stay any longer and directly left the small city.
Liu Ming was able to obtain some information from the waiter. Although the waiter only knew some hearsay and rumors and the content was limited, it still gave Liu Ming a shock.
After that, he went to a few other places near the small city to inquire about it. Then, he once again soared into the sky and flew away.
Seven or eight days later, Liu Ming stood at the side of the Green Hill Mountain that the waiter had mentioned and looked forward.
Green Hill Mountain was a mountain that was over a thousand feet tall. With the main peak as the center, two mountain ranges crossed each other, and the entire mountain was shrouded in a thick fog.
However, this fog was not an ordinary white mist, but a light green mist. It was like green smoke, quietly circling around the mountain and slowly flowing.
"As expected!"
Liu Ming looked at the floating green mist on the mountain peak, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
A few days ago, he went to the nearest market in the neighboring region to inquire about the situation of Green Hill Mountain. Combined with some local legends, he finally had a rough understanding of the origin of this place.
It turned out that this place was located in the Eastern Mountain County of the Kingdom of Qi. The Green Hill Mountain in front of him was also a very famous place in the entire Eastern Mountain County.
The Eastern Mountain County was located at the border of the Kingdom of Qi, and it was adjacent to another medium-sized country, the Kingdom of Yue. Ten thousand years ago, the two countries had fought a fierce battle that lasted for hundreds of years.
As for this Green Hill Mountain, as the border of the two countries, it was unknown how many major battles had broken out.
Until two thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, the two countries finally stopped fighting.
As a result, Mount Qing Gang naturally became a remnant of an ancient battlefield, leaving behind an unknown number of mass graves. Countless corpses of soldiers from both countries were buried inside, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain. It was said that every inch of soil had an inch of flesh and blood.
Over the years, these pits of ten thousand people were filled with resentment and Yin Qi. Even if it was a scorching summer day, one would feel a bone-piercing chill when passing by. Since then, no one dared to pass by this place, and it was even given the nickname of Green Killing Mouth.
As time passed, many ghosts were born in Green Mound Mountain.
In the beginning, there were only some lonely souls and wild ghosts. However, the Yin Qi in this place was extremely strong, and the cultivation of the ghosts increased extremely quickly. They began to appear at night and harm the surrounding living beings, devouring the souls of the living to strengthen themselves.
Because this place was extremely remote and there were no spirit veins extending here, no cultivation sects were established here.
Without cultivators to restrain them, and ordinary mortals were no match for them, the ghosts here naturally wreaked havoc day by day. The people within a thousand miles of Mount Qing Gang had no choice but to gradually move away, creating an uninhabited area of thousands of miles.
More than a thousand years ago, a powerful cultivator who was said to have come from a ten thousand year old sect went out to gain experience. Seeing that the living beings here were in misery and suffering, he killed a large number of ghosts and did not hesitate to use his blood essence to set up a trapping formation, heavily injuring the most powerful ghost in this place.
However, because the resentment in this place was too heavy, just as the ghost was about to scatter, it actually used some unknown method to summon the myriad of yin qi in this place. The ghost also took advantage of this opportunity to escape the formation with the remaining ghosts and fled into the depths of the mountain range.
This supreme expert cultivator's vitality was greatly injured and he was powerless to chase after them. He could only place several seals in the mountain range and suppress these ghosts within them.
Fearing that the ghost inside would break out of the seal, this person remained in this place. Even when he passed away, he did not take a single step out.
However, it was also because of this that this place had a sliver of life. After hundreds of years of operation, it had once again become prosperous.
This cultivator had also spread his branches and leaves here, leaving behind many descendants to suppress this place for generations.
Unfortunately, due to the thin spiritual Qi of the world here, the descendants of this cultivator gradually fell behind. Not only did they not have the great abilities of their ancestor, they gradually became mortals and lost their magic power. In fact, many of them had even forgotten the duties left behind by their ancestors.
In addition, due to the lack of maintenance of the outer restrictions for a long time, they naturally could not withstand the impact of so many vengeful spirits inside and could not hold on any longer.
Currently, these descendants were still gathered near the Green Ridge Mountain Range, which was the Ye Family Valley that the waiter had mentioned.
The above was all the information that Liu Ming had gathered from various sources. As for how much of it was true, he was unable to determine it for the time being.
Looking at the ghost mist in front of him, Liu Ming knew that these rumors were most likely true.
Generally, only ghosts that had reached the Crystal Level for a long time could form such a dense green ghost fog, and the area would not be very large.
However, the ghost mist here could actually envelop the entire mountain.
"Could it be that there is a Jin Dan realm ghost here?" Liu Ming secretly guessed.
At this moment, a black gas flashed from a certain soul-nurturing bag on his waist, and Fei Er flew out:
"Master, I can clearly feel that there is a very powerful guy here!" The moment Fei Er appeared, his eyes looked towards the depths of the ghost mist. His young and tender face revealed a serious expression, but deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of desire mixed in.
Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded. He could also feel the spirit energy fluctuations around him and faintly sense the existence of a sealing formation in the Green Ridge Mountain Range.
The mountains here were intertwined, and most of the Baleful Yin Qi was gathered at the intersection of the mountains.
The sealing formation cleverly used the flow of the underground Qi Meridian to set up a trapping formation, gathering most of the Baleful Yin Qi in this place, preventing it from dissipating.
The benefits of doing this were obvious. It could prevent the ghosts from stepping out of this place to harm the nearby living beings. However, it neglected one point, and that was that the Yin Qi would not dissipate, causing this place to gradually become an excellent place for ghosts to cultivate.
Once this seal was broken in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But even so, Liu Ming still admired this senior cultivator who set up the formation restriction here.
This person was probably a formation master, and his cultivation had at least reached the Jin Dan realm. Otherwise, after so many years, such a huge formation restriction would have been destroyed long ago.
However, at this time, the seal had already reached a critical point. The formation had broken in several places, and a lot of Baleful Yin Qi had leaked out, which was why the surrounding dense ghost mist was formed.
Liu Ming only pondered for a moment, then rose into the air and flew forward with the Flying Head.
But not long after he rushed into the mountain mist, a sharp cry came from the front.
A green light flashed, and a green shadow the size of a person pounced out from the ghost mist, grabbing at Liu Ming.
"Rotten Horn Monkey …"
Liu Ming was slightly startled!
The shadow that pounced over was a green haired ape-like ghost. There was a short green horn on its head, and its two claws were covered in black hair.
This kind of ghost was something that he had seen many times in the Ghost Hell Region of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. When he was still a Spirit Apostle, he had tried to tame it as a spirit pet, but unfortunately, he had failed.
Liu Ming's face revealed a trace of reminiscence. The Flying Head that was standing next to him had already flown out in a flash, and it opened its mouth to spit out a green flame.
The Rotten Horn Monkey seemed to be afraid of the green flame, and it suddenly swung its tail in an attempt to change direction in midair.
The Rotten Horn Monkey's body was overflowing with ghost power, and it had already evolved to the level of a Fierce Ghost. However, compared to the current Fei Er, the difference was immeasurable.
A green light flashed, and the Rotten Horn Monkey was already wrapped in a large green flame. It squeaked in pain, and its body, which was as tall as a person, seemed to melt within the green flame. It quickly shrunk, and after a moment, it was refined into a dark green ball of air.
Fei Er opened her small mouth, and once again spat out a green light. With a sweep, the dark green ball of air was sucked into her mouth.
Fei Er seemed to burp, and her white and tender hands patted her belly. Her face revealed a satisfied expression.
"Even a ghost like the Rotten Horn Monkey has appeared. It seems that this Green Hill Mountain has already become a ghost cave." Liu Ming muttered.
Following that, Liu Ming brought the Flying Head along with him to scout the surroundings of Green Hill Mountain. He discovered that the thick fog had almost covered half of the mountain. Standing outside the mountain, it was impossible to clearly see the situation inside the mountain. Moreover, when he released his divine sense, it would be obstructed by the thick fog, and he would not be able to penetrate it.
During this period, they encountered the attacks of a few Rotten Horn Monkeys, and naturally, they all became the food of the Flying Head.
Not long after, dusk slowly fell, and the ghost fog gradually rose in the night. There was a faint rustling sound coming from it.
"The yin qi is flourishing at night, so it is not suitable to scout this place. Let's stop here for today. Let's go first." Liu Ming made a sign with his hand, and a black gas wrapped around his and the Flying Head's body, and they quickly flew away.
"Master …" The Flying Head looked at Liu Ming, and opened its small mouth, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"I know what you are thinking. If there is really a Jin Dan level ghost here, its Jin Dan can be nourished by you." Liu Ming smiled slightly. He opened his mouth and said.
The Flying Head was immediately overjoyed.
Its cultivation had already reached the peak of the Crystal Level. A ghost's Jin Dan might be an opportunity for it to advance to the Fake Dan Stage.
Liu Ming did not go far. Instead, he stepped on a black cloud and headed towards a small mountain ten miles away from the Green Ridge Mountain Range. He was going to find a cave to rest for the night.
Not long after, he flew to the foot of the mountain.
"Eh!"
His eyes flashed. Not far away was a relatively flat small valley. There was smoke rising faintly from the valley. It was a small village with about twenty to thirty families.
Outside the village, there was a wooden fence, which seemed to be used to block the attacks of wild beasts. At the entrance of the village, there was a pitch-black boulder. The surface of the boulder was as smooth as a mirror, and a large 'Ye' character was engraved on it.
"Ye? Could this be Ye Jia Ao? "
Liu Ming's eyes flashed slightly. According to the information he had gathered, other than Ye Jia Ao, there should be no one else who dared to live so close to the Green Ridge Mountain.
