Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

473 A Ghost?

Since Songsong had warned Dong Xi, she would naturally be more careful.

“Songsong, I understand. Don’t worry,” Dong Xi said.

Not only did Dong Xi pay attention to it, but she also told Tie Zhu about the illusion.

Finally, they arrived at the city on the map. After flying for a whole day, they understood that everything in the loop was just a miniature version.

This city was much bigger than the city in the small world that Dong Xi and the others had come from. The people who entered the city had long lines to pay the spirit stones to enter the city.

Dong Xi looked over and saw a few people holding umbrellas.

No, they were not human either… These few did not have any shadows or legs. They seemed to be floating on the ground.

Were these people ghosts? Could it be an illusion?

Dong Xi fell into deep thought. There was no one here who could help Dong Xi resolve her doubts.

Everyone paid the spirit stones and entered the city.

After entering the city, they looked around aimlessly. Only Dong Xi walked forward with a clear goal. She came to the front of the few people holding umbrellas. Dong Xi cupped his fists and said, “Fellow Daoists, please slow down.”

When they heard Dong Xi’s words, they were also very puzzled.

Since ancient times, humans and ghosts had different paths, so ghosts rarely communicated with humans.

They turned around and saw Dong Xi’s warm smile.

One of the scholars said, “Fellow Daoist, is there something you need?”

Dong Xi shook his head and said embarrassedly, “Nothing, it’s just… I wonder if you guys came from the Ghost Realm?”

Scholar looked at his companion and nodded, “That’s right, we did come from the Ghost Realm.”

Dong Xi scratched her head clumsily, a simple smile on her face. No matter how one looked at it, she looked silly.

Dong Xi said, “I have a Senior Sister who used to be very good to me. Later, something unexpected happened and she became a ghost cultivator. Since then, I haven’t had the chance to see her. Now that I have seen you guys, I get a feeling of familiarity, so I want to come and greet you.”

The guard on the faces of the scholar and the others relaxed a little. The scholar said, “What is your Senior Sister’s name? When I return later, I’ll convey your longing to her if I see her.”

“Ying Die,” said Dong Xi with a smile.

Scholar and the others were slightly stunned. Scholar said, “Adept Ying Die is your Senior Sister? Tell me, when did she become a ghost?”

“It should be two years ago,” Dong Xi thought for a moment and said.

“That’s right, Fellow Daoist. I wonder if you have a token?” the scholar said. “When we get back, we will definitely help you hand it over to Adept Ying Die.”

…

Dong Xi gave them a wooden sword. There were many such swords in the Sword Sect, so it was not rare.

In just a few short sentences, the relationship between Dong Xi and the ghost cultivators had become much closer.

Dong Xi also knew that this scholar was called Mu Ru. Mu Ru coughed lightly and said, “Fellow Daoist, can you temporarily put away the fire spiritual energy on your body? We have a Yin cold body…”

Upon hearing Mu Ru’s words, Dong Xi instantly understood and immediately withdrew her Fire spiritual Qi.

In the past few days, it had become a habit for her to use fire spiritual energy outside.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was my negligence,” Dong Xi immediately said.

Shangguan Yun’er, Tie Zhu, and the others saw Dong Xi talking to a few people who were holding umbrellas and had no legs. Tie Zhu and the others were very worried.

“Junior Brother told us to be careful of the illusion,” Tie Zhu said. “I think these people are more like the people in the illusion.”

Long Wei said, “It shouldn’t be. They are most likely… ghost cultivators.”

Previously, when Dong Xi chased them away, Long Wei had shamelessly expressed that everyone had been a small team since they entered the Secret Realm, so they had advanced and retreated together. She had shamelessly brought Qing Niao with her to stay by everyone’s side.

“What?” the others asked in surprise. “Ghost cultivator?”

Everyone’s expression suddenly became unnatural. Shangguan Yun’er’s face turned even paler.

Long Wei said, “That’s right. I heard my father say that after some cultivators die, their divine souls will not be destroyed by chance, and they will become ghost cultivators. They can continue to cultivate… Every ghost cultivator would hold an umbrella, probably because they were afraid of the sun.”

Of course, what made Long Wei the most certain was that these people were emitting a faint Yin Qi.

These people originally had Yin cold bodies, but Long Wei had a water spirit root, and he was born in Yin years, Yin months, and Yin days…It was also what these ghosts liked the most.

Long Wei touched his chest and sensed the protective mirror in his clothes. Long Wei immediately felt a sense of security.

If he had known this would happen, he would have listened to the old man and not come out to show off.

Seeing Dong Xi talking and laughing with those ghost cultivators, she could not possibly be selling Long Wei to them, right?

Dong Xi and Mu Ru traded their spirit breath, and Dong Xi returned to the crowd.

After Dong Xi’s conversation, Dong Xi said, “Besides our group, this Secret Realm has an entrance to other worlds. Everyone, be careful.”
