A teenage girl wearing yellow garments was swaying while holding on to the slippery stone wall, trying to get up from the ground on the first level of the earth vein.
The vibrations had caused the girl who did not have any magical force left fall down to the ground.
Her body was covered with scars and cuts, her magical force almost empty, but she had a resolute expression.
“Lil sis… I’ll definitely get a ‘Ghost Crystal’ to cure you… ”
She carefully explored the first level. It was extremely dangerous for a Fourth Stage Vein Opening Realm to explore alone.
She originally wanted to explore this place with other rogue cultivators. But they couldn’t get ten people together and a few rogue cultivators left, causing the numbers to go down even further which caused the team to disband naturally…
However, even if she had to do it alone, she had to search for the… Ghost Crystal!
It was a good idea but it was too reckless.
There were several ghostly figures creeping closer towards her from the shadows, obviously delighted after discovering a delicious meal. Yet the teenage girl was oblivious to all of it.
When those ghosts suddenly appeared, her tender body shivered and her expression was full of fear. Her Low-grade Magical Treasure was smacked away by the ghosts in an instant.
“Kaka… kaka….”
The ghosts let out frigid cries as cold wind revolved, wanting to tear the girl into pieces.
At this moment, even if the girl was still immature and pure, she may have to face death today.
She closed her eyes in despair filled with fear and also regret.
“Lil sis…”
Tears dripped down beneath her eyelashes, but as the cold wind was about to tear her into pieces, all the ghosts that were about to attack her stopped in mid-air as if they were immobilized, their faces of extreme fear!
At the next moment, a jet-black color flashed by without any sign and the ghosts were eliminated… Black stinking blood poured over the girl’s face making her have a hard time opening her eyes. She felt very sick and had the urge to vomit rather than feel shock about what just happened…
Rotten meat, blackish blood and the rotten stench… it made her stomach churn that she immediately puked beside the stone wall…
All of a sudden, a cool breeze swept through and the rotten stench immediately dissipated, making the girl slowly raise her head with her pale white complexion.
But she quickly realized that a cold youngster stood in front of her.
She got scared after knowing that those ghosts were killed by this young man.
To be able to kill these many ghosts with such speed. Could this person be a Peak Vein Opening Realm expert?
Or could he be… a Harmonious Spirit Realm old monster?!
The girl immediately took a step back while covering her breasts and felt slightly nervous. But she remembered who the youngster was after she had a closer look at his face. It was the same guy who rejected her when she invited him into the team…
I tried to invite such a powerful person…
What does he want to do to me… He rescued me without any reason… could it be that he wants to make me into one of his cauldrons…?!
The girl shivered from the thought of the word ‘Cauldron’, feeling helpless and at the same time restless.
“Ma… many thanks for the helping hand senior daoist… what does senior want to do to me…”
But beyond her expectations, the youngster did not move a step closer to her and spoke with an indifferent tone from a distance.
“This is not the place you should be…”
“I know, but… I need the ‘Ghost Crystal’ for my younger sister… to cure the fire poison…”
The little girl’s teeth bit her lips with a dejected look.
“Lil sis huh…”
The youngster’s gaze moved and tapped his storage pouch, he took out a bunch of Ghost Crystals that were obtained from Vein Opening Realm ghosts and Harmonious Spirit Realm ghosts.
“Is it these?”
“Ye… YES!” The girl’s gaze was fiery hot.
“Take it, it’ll be enough to cure the fire poison. Sell the remaining Ghost Crystals and live a plain life… Do not step foot into the world of cultivation ever again. This is not a path you should carelessly tread.”
The teenager waved his sleeves and a pile of Ghost Crystal immediately flew towards the girl. He then left with the escaping light.
She was stunned by the amount of Ghost Crystal.
That escaping light was much faster than those Harmonious Spirit Realm old monsters by several folds.
No matter how stupid she was, she too, now knew that the one who saved her and bestowed her the Ghost Crystals must be an extremely powerful old monster.
Could it be that he’s… a legendary Gold Core Realm Old Ancestor?!
Oh… So that person didn’t have any bad intention towards me…
The girl recalled his words and suddenly remembered something, she then shouted towards the entrance of the cave.
“Many thanks for helping me, senior! My name is Wen Qing…”
She got no reply and so, she carefully kept the Ghost Crystals and quickly ran towards the exit of the earth vein.
She’s going to cure her sister and live an ordinary life… This was her destiny.
“…”
Outside of the earth vein, Ning Fan did not look back and flew towards the northern part of Wei.
He gulped down some Bitter Pills to recover a bit of his magical force without saying a word.
