Even from a long distance, Xu Chunniang could feel the faint ghostly aura coming from the deep mountains.
After death, some monks are unwilling to fall into reincarnation, so they will transform into ghost cultivation while their souls are still alive.
The ghost path is dangerous. If you are not careful when embarking on this path, your soul will be destroyed and there will be no chance of reincarnation.
Even so, there are still many cultivators who turn to the ghost path, all because of their undying obsession in their hearts.
Ghost cultivators are no different from human cultivators, some are good and some are evil.
However, most ghost cultivators have incomplete spirits and souls, and coupled with deep obsessions, they are often extremely aggressive.
Xu Chunniang had not had many dealings with ghost cultivators. Apart from Cheng Qingjia's ghost cultivator ancestor, the only other was the ghost grandma who entered Taoism by using ghosts.
The ghost grandma's Ten Thousand Ghosts Bottle contained tens of thousands of little ghosts, nurturing endless ghost energy, which could even resist the consumption of thousands of magnetic divine lights, leaving her with a deep impression.
Xu Chunniang released her spiritual power and stepped into the mountains.
The Meteorite Heart Flame and Thunder Beads on her body are both things that can restrain ghost cultivators. If these ghost cultivators know what's best for them and don't come to provoke her, she won't bother to pay any attention to them.
The pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator was so great that all the ghost cultivators retreated and fled at the sight of him from a long distance away.
The ghost path is difficult, and the ghost's strength is generally weaker than that of human cultivators.
But the speed of ghost cultivators is first-class. Even a little ghost in the foundation-building stage is faster than a cultivator in the golden elixir stage.
Xu Chunniang was just passing by and had no intention of chasing them, but even so, she still scared these little ghosts a lot.
After she walked away, these ghost cultivators gathered together again and looked in the direction she left, with some regret in their hearts.
"What's going on recently? Many people have come to our ghost cultivation territory. Is there something big happening in the cultivation world?"
"I don't know. That person was so scary just now. Fortunately, she was only concerned about getting on with her journey and didn't care about us at all."
"Do you want to go over and see what happened? Maybe a baby has been born."
"You go if you want to. Judging from her speed, she is probably at the Nascent Soul level. If she fights with those people, we won't even be able to escape."
Several ghost cultivators muttered to each other for a while, but in the end no one dared to follow. After discussing for a few words, they dispersed.
Xu Chunniang moved forward all the way, and the ghost cultivators she met along the way were frightened away by her pressure.
Unconsciously, she had gradually penetrated deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The forest was pitch black, filled with ghostly auras, and it was impossible to replenish the spiritual energy in the body by breathing in and out.
Fortunately, the Nine Steps of Freedom did not consume much spiritual energy, and Xu Chunniang had plenty of spirit stones on her, which supported her in her speeding journey.
After traveling through the mountains and forests for seven or eight days, she finally arrived at the first place marked by Master Sheng.
The sight was desolate; this sacred place from ancient times did not seem to have anything special about it.
Xu Chunniang released her spiritual sense and searched the place over and over again.
Not to mention the incarnation of the evil-eyed beast, there is even an insect or ant nearby.
It seems that the place where good fortune lies is not here.
She didn't waste any time and continued on to the next place where great fortune might exist.
However, after searching several places that Grandmaster Sheng had inferred, they still found nothing.
The spiritual veins in these places have been dried up for a long time and they look no different from the surrounding areas.
Xu Chunniang's spiritual sense swept across the map in the jade slip and her brows furrowed.
The mountains are boundless and it is as difficult to find good fortune among them as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take a lot of time to travel through the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Xu Chunniang exhaled lightly and was about to put the jade slip away when her spiritual consciousness fell on several mountains on the map. Suddenly, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Her consciousness fell back on the map and scanned the several mountain ranges marked by Grandmaster Sheng.
These mountain ranges are located in four directions and connected to each other, enclosing a small area among the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Xu Chunniang stared at the area closely, and the more she looked, the more familiar it looked.
She seemed to have seen this terrain somewhere before...
In a flash, she finally remembered where she had seen similar terrain.
It's a treasure map!
When she was on Fenglei Island, Xu Chunniang was invited by the Zhu family to go to Yanzhou ancestral island to participate in a Taoist seminar.
At the discussion meeting, she traded a treasure map from a one-armed young man.
The one-armed young man claimed that the treasure map was a family heirloom, but he had searched for it on the sea for many years and had not found the treasure.
And the treasure map passed down in the young man’s family also shows an endless range of mountains!
Xu Chunniang's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She took out the treasure map, unfolded it, and compared it carefully with the map given by Master Sheng.
At first glance, there is no obvious connection between the two. At first glance, they are all undulating mountains.
However, if you pick out the several mountain ranges marked by Master Sheng and compare them with the treasure map, you can clearly see that the trends of the mountains and rivers in the two pictures are roughly the same.
There are many differences, just in subtle details.
Xu Chunniang recalled the several mountains she had walked through in the past few days, and after comparison, she deduced that the treasure map existed even older than the map given to her by Master Sheng.
She stared at the treasure map. What secrets were hidden in it
Is the place where the treasure is hidden related to good fortune
Perhaps only by delving deeper into it can we find the answer.
Xu Chunniang put away the two maps and planned to follow the instructions of the treasure map.
But at this moment, a shocking ghostly aura erupted in the distance, attracting her attention.
She suddenly turned around and looked behind her. There was such a strong ghost aura that she was afraid that a ghost cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage had appeared.
In the thick ghost atmosphere, a few golden Buddha lights appeared from time to time.
At the beginning, the ghost energy prevailed and the Buddha's light was not obvious.
But as time went by, the Buddha's light became brighter and stronger, gradually competing with the ghostly aura.
Seeing this, Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. Could it be that the one fighting against the Nascent Soul ghost cultivator was a Buddhist cultivator from the Wuliang Sect
Why would the Buddhist practitioners of the Wuliang Sect appear here? Did they also realize that the great fortune of heaven and earth had been stolen
Or do they come here for other purposes
Xu Chunniang had an idea and simply put on the Tianque cloak and fled into the distance.
Through the heavy ghost air, she saw clearly the figure holding a Buddhist instrument in the ghost air, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
Shangguan Xue? Why is she here
Moreover, her aura was very mixed, in addition to the devilish aura, there was also a ghostly aura...
Look at Shangguan Xue glancing at the Nascent Soul ghost cultivator opposite her, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She made Buddhist seals very skillfully, and her temperament was completely different from usual.
She only had the Golden Core cultivation level, but relying on various secret techniques and the Buddhist weapons in her hands that were specifically designed to defeat ghost cultivators, she gradually gained the upper hand.
On the other hand, the Nascent Soul ghost cultivator on the opposite side was forced to rush left and right, and in the end he actually ran away.
Looking at the direction where the ghost cultivator fled, Shangguan Xue showed a look of regret on her face. This ghost cultivator was too timid.
It's a pity that he still has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, but he escaped so quickly, it really brought shame to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, the ghost energy she plundered was almost enough.
The master said that saving a human life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I wonder how much merit I can gain by saving a ghost’s life.
