Wu Shangqiu said to Ah Gan, "Brother Gan, you can go back first."
Ah Gan shook his head and said, "I'll follow you."
Wu Shangqiu thought for a while and said, "That's good too. Brother Gan, stay by my side and don't walk around. Don't panic if you see anything, I'll make sure you're safe."
Ah Gan nodded his head and said, "I trust you."
The two people from Huai Liu Manor who were walking in front looked back. Although they didn't say anything, it was obvious from their eyes that they were urging him.
Wu Shangqiu strode forward and followed.
The lady walked very quickly and came to a small depression in a blink of an eye. There was a pool the size of a well at the bottom. It was dark and murky. From afar, there was a foul air coming out and it was bubbling. A few people from Huai Liu Manor couldn't help but cover their noses. The lady acted as if she didn't hear them and called, "Liu Ju."
Immediately, a rather sturdy man walked out and said in a deep voice, "Eldest Miss?"
The lady said, "Catch one."
Liu Ju replied and took off the stick on his back. There was a sticky disc on the stick and it looked like it was smeared with something. He grabbed it with both hands and sent it straight down. Not long after, his hands felt heavy and he suddenly shouted. He exerted strength from his waist and pulled a "little person" up.
Upon closer inspection, it was clearly in the form of a ghost. Its head was the size of a human, but its body was only half a foot tall. It was emaciated, had protruding fangs, and had a ferocious look in its eyes. At this moment, it was ceaselessly letting out irritating shrieks, but its scalp was stuck to it, so it could only struggle endlessly.
The people from Huai Liu Manor looked normal. It was obvious that they were used to seeing these things. Ah Gan also stared with his eyes wide open. He was a bold person and with so many people around, he was even more fearless.
At this moment, the one called Liu Ju released the stick and rubbed his hands together. The ghost was crumpled up like a piece of crumpled paper. He then took out a box of bamboo lots and stuffed the ghost into it. Then, he kept it and placed it at the side.
The woman tilted her head and said to Wu Shangqiu, "I've already used the Ghost Sticking Rod once, this person won't fall for it again. Since you are Lian Shou, you must be an expert in dealing with these ghosts. Please take all these unclean things down there, Liuhuai Manor will not be stingy with your rewards."
Wu Shangqiu Just Now saw that Liu Ju was using his spiritual energy. He calmed down a bit. If that was the case, he wouldn't be seen as an anomaly.
He sensed that there were about 12 of these things down there.
Although there were ghosts and spirits in the Mountain and Sea Realm, if they weren't refined, they posed no threat to Daoist cultivators. Furthermore, this thing didn't exceed that level, and therefore, dealing with it wouldn't be difficult. The key was to use a method that wouldn't be too obvious.
He raised his head and saw that the people from Liu Huai Manor were all staring at him with burning eyes. He pondered for a moment, then reached into his sleeve. A moment later, he took out a handful of powder.
It was originally a stack of paper talismans, but he had turned it into this so that they wouldn't be able to tell what it was.
Although he didn't know the whole story behind the Fiendish Lands, he could tell that this place had been infected by the foul air. As long as he could cleanse it, he could force the so-called "Baby Ghosts" to come out, and he wouldn't have to waste time looking for them.
He walked over to the edge of the Fiendish Lands and opened his palm. He tilted it slightly and sprinkled the talisman ash into the Fiendish Lands. What happened next was astonishing. In an instant, the Fiendish Lands turned from black to white, as if all of the filth had been cleansed.
The lady's eyes flickered. She had never seen something like this before, and she couldn't help but look more serious.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "There's movement."
The Fiendish Lands gurgled, and then suddenly there was a huge splash. Baby Ghosts scrambled out of the Fiendish Lands, as if there was something terrifying in the Fiendish Lands. As soon as they appeared, they let out shrill screams and charged at the people around them.
Wu Shangqiu was the closest, so he naturally bore the brunt of the attack. However, in his eyes, the Baby Ghosts were incredibly slow. Without any hesitation, he reached out and tapped one of the Baby Ghosts on its head. It didn't make a sound before it fell to the ground.
The people of Huai Liu Manor weren't calm. It wasn't that they couldn't deal with the Baby Ghosts, it was just that they couldn't catch them all. Now that the Fiendish Lands had appeared, it was easier for them to make their move.
The lady walked over to Wu Shangqiu and looked him over with her bright eyes. "Many thanks, Sir."
Wu Shangqiu said, "It's nothing."
The lady waved her hand, and a servant came over with a jade plate. On top of the jade plate were five knife-shaped gold coins.
Wu Shangqiu calmly accepted the coins.
The lady said, "The Fiendish Lands have a lot of poison. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you. “
Wu Shangqiu said, "I'll be staying in the nearby reed village. If there's anything, you can come and look for me."
Seeing that there was nothing else, he called out to Ah Gan and walked back the way he came.
Ah Gan followed him excitedly. He had never seen such a scene in his life. He would be able to brag about it when he got back.
The people of Huai Liu Manor watched the two of them leave.
Liu Ju said, "Miss, this person isn't simple. Just Now that I've taken a closer look, the Evil Qi on the Baby Ghost has been burned away, leaving only its skin behind."
The lady said, "Can you tell which branch it came from?"
Liu Ju tried hard to recall and said, "Forgive me for my ignorance, but I can't tell which branch it came from." Seeing that the lady was silent, he said, "Do you want me to go and investigate?"
The lady said, "There's no need for that. The Eight Mountains, Seven Rivers, Hundred Paths, Nine Paths, Ten Paths, Nine Paths, Ten Paths. There are so many branches in the world, how can I know all of them? Since this person has his ways and is staying nearby, he must have come into contact with many places. There's no need to pry into other people's secrets. After some time, you'll naturally understand everything. "
Liu Ju said, "Miss, you're still the most reliable. You've never been particular when working under Second Miss."
The lady looked at him and shook her head, saying, "I'm just making a decision. Second Sister has a lot of thoughts, so please bear with her."
But Liu Ju said, "Miss, you're generous to us. We're more than willing to follow you."
The lady did not continue the topic and said, "Let's settle the matter here first. If we can't get rid of the remaining poison in this land of evil spirits, there's no point in talking about it."
After Wu Shangqiu went back, he didn't bother with Ah Gan, who was bragging to everyone, and went back to the attic. Now that he had the wealth of this world, he could move out, but he still liked to stay here.
He thought to himself, "Looks like the flying boat was not taken by Huai Liu Manor. It should have been brought to the land of evil spirits."
If that was the case, he could accept it.
He took the Escaping Realm Pearl and came out to take a look. This world looked like it was not a shallow place. Should he contact the mountain gate and ask for more people from the same sect to come and help? But on second thought, it seemed like he could still handle it. Moreover, if he asked for help, it would not be his own merit. It was better to wait until he found out the truth.
Thinking about this, he kept the item again.
He then sat there and breathed in and out. There was a faint sign of him breaking through, which surprised him.
He had long cultivated twelve streams of clear and turbid Qi. He was at the last step of merging them. When he was on the mountain, there was no lack of spiritual vigor, but he could not take the step. On the contrary, when he was in a place with poor spiritual vigor, he could improve. He really did not know what to say.
He thought about it carefully. Ever since he entered this world, although it looked peaceful, he was actually treading on thin ice. Under such pressure, he was able to force out his potential. He could not help but sigh, "No wonder the elders in the sect always talk about gaining experience. It is indeed useful."
Since there was hope for him to advance, he wouldn't delay any longer. He immediately stood up, bade farewell to Ah Gan and his sister, and left the room. After walking for twenty miles, he found a secluded place and took out a reed canopy that could accommodate one person sitting cross-legged from his sleeve. This object didn't have much use, but it could conceal the strange phenomenon when he was breaking through.
He made some arrangements around him and planted formation flags. After he entered, he meditated for a night and successfully broke through to the second level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
When he came out again, he looked at the heaven and earth. He was filled with confidence.
The cultivation method he cultivated was also of the Zhao You Sect. Now that he had broken through to the second stage, he could already soar and fly. Even if he didn't have a flying boat, he could still come and go as he pleased. It could be said that he had another life-saving method to protect himself.
Seeing that it was already morning, he returned to the reed village.
A few days later, Liu Ju came to find him again. This time, it was for the land of evil spirits.
Wu Shangqiu wanted to spend more time with him, so he did not refuse and happily agreed. However, when he went there to take a look, he didn't expect that after a few days, the swamp was filled with foul air, and there were signs of overflowing. It was as if the fiendish land had reappeared. Moreover, he could faintly see countless strange ghosts in the surroundings.
When the woman saw him, she said, "Mister, you're here."
Wu Shangqiu could hear a trace of anxiety in her calm voice. He imitated her and bowed, then said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman looked ahead and said, "In two months, if I can suppress the baleful aura here, I will be in charge of Liu Huai in the future. I know that Mister is capable, so I hope that you can help me. If you succeed, I will definitely not mister mister."
Wu Shangqiu thought about it. He did not ask what would happen if he failed, but he instinctively felt that this was a great opportunity. He replied, "I am willing to help."
The woman looked at him for a moment, then said seriously, "Alright. I will be relying on you for the next two months."
Mountain and Sea Realm, in the Zhao You Heavenly Lake.
The All-Knowing Myriad Realms Instrument rotated continuously. Every once in a while, a beam of light would shoot out and condense into a talisman. At this time, a servant would come forward, take the talisman down, and present it to Elder Quan. After taking the talisman and reading it, he went to Liu Yan's clone and reported, "Master, most of the three thousand disciples we sent that day have reported back. There are no special discoveries, but there are still over two hundred people who are still missing. Among them, nineteen places … have lost contact with the All-Knowing Myriad Realms Instrument."
