After that, the grotto-heaven became silent.
After about 30 minutes, Qin Di's eyes lit up. He looked carefully and found that he had come out of the grotto-heaven!
A fat Daoist stood in front of him. He looked like the Maitreya Buddha. He had a round face, thin eyebrows, and big ears. He looked very lucky.
He looked around and saw that it was very dark. There were mountains all around and a Yin lake in the middle. The fat Daoist came out of the Yin lake.
"Kid, remember this place. If anything happens, jump into the Yin lake and swim back!"
"Thank you, senior! Is this the Yin world? It doesn't look any different from the mortal world. "
The fat Daoist flew to the top of the mountain and stood on the peak. He pointed at a huge Buddha statue and said, "This was left by the Buddhist Sect. The Buddhist Sect is almost extinct in the Primordial World, but there are still inheritances in the Spiritual Realm and the Yin world. Especially in the Yin world, it is one of the two major sects that stand side by side with the Demon Sect! Because of this Buddha statue, there are no Yin ghosts within a thousand miles. "
"Yes, I understand."
"The place we came from is one of the nine Yellow Springs Ghost Paths. It was opened by the Buddhist Sect many years ago. After the decline of the Buddhist Sect, it was occupied by the Yin Ghost Sect. "
"Oh, so that's how it is. Senior, what spiritual materials are you looking for? Maybe I can help you. "
The fat Daoist took out a flying bird and it turned into a few feet long. He said, "Come up, we will ride on the Black Bird of Hell. Remember, you can't use Spirit Treasures with Yang Qi here, and you can't use Spirit Boats either. Otherwise, you will attract the attacks of countless ghosts. That will be troublesome."
"I will remember."
The fat Daoist took out a black robe and put it on. Then, he took out a second robe and threw it to Qin Di. "Kid, wear this robe. It can isolate the Yang Qi. Otherwise, you will attract Yin ghosts too!"
Qin Di quickly put on the black robe. It felt cold and he didn't know what material it was made of.
The Black Bird flew for tens of thousands of miles. The mountains below were undulating. Apart from the darkness, it was almost the same as the mortal world.
Gradually, he saw the figures of ghosts. Where there are cities and villages, there are hordes of ghosts. There were also a few humans among them. They were either demonic cultivators or bald monks. Only these two types of people were immune to the attacks of ghosts.
The Mystic Bird stopped in a valley deep within a mountain.
The fat monk led Qin Di into a cave and pointed at the black mountain rock, "This rock is very precious, it contains Heaven Burial Silver, if it is refined, five kilograms can be exchanged for one immortal stone."
Qin Di was shocked. "Wow, since there's such a precious thing, why don't people come and dig it up?"
"Hehe, Yin and Yang are two different paths. Cultivators in the nether realm can't use the Heaven Grotto Stone to trade. Only by bringing these things back to the world of the living can they be converted into immortal stones. "
"But other cultivators can also enter the nether world to dig!"
The fat Daoist priest glared at him. "I'm an eighth-stage Spirit Immortal, and I had to wear special clothes to withstand the nine bolts of Heavenly Lightning. I also had to go through the Yin Spring's corrosion to come here. Do you think it's that easy? If I didn't carry you, how could you walk the Yellow Springs Ghost Path with your cultivation? "
Qin Di's heart sank, and he exclaimed, "So, I can't go back alone?"
The fat Daoist priest squinted his eyes and said, "You can't now, but when you reach the peak of the Earth Immortal Stage, there might be hope. Your bones are very tough, and you practiced Spring Wind and Rain, so you should be able to last a while in the Yin Spring. "
"Is there no other safer way?"
"It's not that there is no way, unless you barge into the temple and snatch a Buddha fire from the bald monk, then you won't be afraid of the Yin Spring's corrosion!"
Hearing this, Qin Di was relieved, and he thought to himself, Not only do I have Buddha fire, but it's also at the sixth-stage Immortal Grade!
The fat monk guided him to dig the Heaven Burial Silver, and after three days, seeing that he was digging well, he said, "You continue to dig here, I still need to find two other rare spiritual materials. There's no Yin Spirit Vein here, and no Yin Ghosts come here, so it's safer. I'll definitely return within a year, and if I don't, you better pray for yourself! "
"Senior, please take care!"
The fat monk exhorted, and then flew away on the Mystic Bird.
Seeing that the fat monk was far away, Qin Di continued to dig.
Two days later, the fat monk didn't turn back.
Qin Di started to inspect the ore resources in the surroundings, and he found that the ore resources were extremely rich. The whole mountain was made of Heaven Burial Silver, and he didn't know how deep it was, so he released the eight ghost kings and had them dig a long tunnel in one direction. When they reached the depths, he released 30,000 ghosts to dig in all directions.
After half a year, he didn't know how much ore he had dug, but the whole mountain was half empty!
Qin Di felt that it was enough, and there was no need to dig anymore, so he put away the ghosts and ordered the eight ghost kings to block the long tunnel. He checked again, and after confirming that there were no loopholes, he laid down on a big rock at the bottom of the valley to rest.
Time flew, and soon, another half a year had passed, and a whole year had passed! The fat monk actually didn't come back!
Qin Di felt a little uneasy, and he thought to himself, Is he really not coming back? This guy isn't a bad guy, and it would be such a pity if he died just like that!
He waited in the valley for another three months, but the fat monk still didn't come back.
He felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he changed the Yang Qi in his body into Yin Qi, and at the same time, released two ghost marshals that were equivalent to human Void Step. They followed behind him as bodyguards, and he flew out of the valley, toward the villages and cities with many ghosts.
Along the way, he encountered more and more ghosts, and their bodies were getting bigger and bigger.
Those ghosts didn't attack him when they saw him, obviously thinking that Yin attribute cultivators were their own kind.
Gradually, Qin Di saw a city. There were countless ghosts walking around in the city, and they were busy.
There was also a market here, and the food being traded was something that looked like black oats, and there were also some fern-like vegetables.
Qin Di walked from one city to another, and he found that the ghosts here used the same language as in the Primordial World, so he could communicate with them easily.
Half a year later, he came to a big city, and there was a plaque hanging on the city wall, with the words "Fengdu" written on it!
Qin Di was a little surprised, Hey, there really is a Fengdu City? Legend has it that King Yama lives here! King Yama is definitely a cultivator, but I don't know what realm he is at.
When he walked into the city, he found that there were many Daoist cultivators in the city, and not all of them were demonic cultivators!
This was a little strange! How could there be a Senshu in Fengdu City?
After carefully asking around, he found out that Fengdu City was divided into three parts: King Yama, Emperor of Fengdu, and King Ksitigarbha. King Yama was in charge of all the ghosts, so there was no need to say much. Emperor of Fengdu was in charge of the Senshu that occasionally entered the nether world, including the remnant souls of the Senshu that entered the nether world through the Ghost Path of the Yellow Springs. For example, the master of the Five Mysteries Realm, Lord Guang, would receive protection from Emperor of Fengdu after entering the nether world. As for King Ksitigarbha, there was no need to mention him, he was the most powerful Buddhist cultivator in the nether world.
Qin Di looked for Lord Guang in Fengdu City for a few days, and finally found him!
Lord Guang was a Dao Reunion Perfected Lord, but unfortunately, he only had a remnant soul left, so after entering the nether world, his status was not considered high, and he was only an attendant under Emperor of Fengdu. After many years, his soul slowly recovered, and now he had two souls!
The nether world was a place to nurture souls, and after a long time, the incomplete soul would be restored.
Seeing Qin Di, Lord Guang was shocked, "Kid, why did you switch to the demonic cultivation method, and why did you come here?"
Qin Di chuckled, "Who said I cultivated the demonic cultivation method? Take a closer look, I'm still a pure Daoist cultivation method."
