Chapter 303: Chapter 302: The Genius Who Has Been Sleeping Since Ancient Times _1

“How does Young Master Qin plan to find his treasure?”

Young Master Qin chuckled: “Does Lord Mi think I just randomly selected a location for my treasure in Guhuai Town? That’s not it, not at all.”

“What do you think Guhuai Town is most famous for, Lord Mi?”

Lord Mi hesitated a bit: “Female ghosts?”

Mentioning Guhuai Town reminded him of the three female ghosts with the best performance.

Lord Mi was planning to have the three female ghosts write a report on their methods, which he would then present to the higher ups as a successful experience, promoting a sustainable strategy for absorbing Yang Qi, so as to increase the survival rate of female ghosts and improve the rate of Yang Qi absorption.

What Xiao Qi and the two others didn’t know was that Lord Mi had hundreds of ghosts under him who faithfully collected Yang Qi.

Only the performance of these three was the highest and caught the favor of Lord Mi.

Young Master Qin: “…”

Young Master Qin suppressed his anger, showing a smile on his face: “It’s the locust trees.”

“Locust trees are rare items that facilitate communication between the World of the Living and the Netherworld. Our sect believes in the existence of Nine Nether of the Netherworld, and the locust tree subtly embodies the doctrine of our sect.”

“In my previous life, I had a deep affinity with this, treasuring locust trees. Guhuai Town, abundant with locust trees, naturally caught my attention in my previous life.”

“Therefore, I buried my treasure under a locust tree in my past life and applied various seals to it. Influenced by the Yin Energy of Guhuai Town, it cannot be found through Spiritual Sense, Causality, Heavenly Eye, etc., and can only be found with the eyes of the Living.”

Young Master Qin calmly said, as if reminiscing his past life experiences.

In reality, he didn’t know where Master Qin had hidden his treasure. He had a high-ranking official of the Nine Nether Sect behind him, who was proficient in the Tao of Causality. By paying a certain price, he calculated a clue to Master Qin’s treasure.

[Locust tree]

This was the result that the high-ranking official of the Nine Nether Sect calculated.

Now that he had the clue, he only needed to search in Guhuai Town methodically for some time, and he would eventually find it.

And Lord Mi was there as a witness all the time, which was the best corroboration.

Thus, his identity as the reincarnation of Master Qin could be established.

“Unfortunately, the matter of Reincarnation is too complicated, involving too much. Even though I have successfully reincarnated, I still can’t peek into all the mysteries of Reincarnation. Now, I just unlocked a piece of my past life memory and can’t remember the exact location of the treasure.” Young Master Qin shook his head, his voice revealing a sense of vicissitudes and regret.

“In that case, I will go to Guhuai Town to collect the accumulated Yang Qi tomorrow. Does Young Master Qin want to come with me?”

“Fine.”

…

Early the next morning, Lord Mi brought Young Master Qin to an old temple in Guhuai Town.

Young Master Qin instinctively frowned, looking a little disgusted with the old temple: “Here?”

Lord Mi laughed: “Young Master Qin mustn’t underestimate this place. It provides a large number of Yang Qi every month. The Yang Qi collected from just one place in Guhuai Town is equivalent to that gathered from seven or eight small towns, sometimes even more.”

“This indeed is interesting, I’d like to hear more.”

“There are three female ghosts in this place. They have forgotten their pasts and real names, and named themselves Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. Among them, Xiao Qi is the youngest, the most intelligent, and has the highest cultivation talent among the three sisters. Her cultivation level is at the late stage of foundation establishment. Her two older sisters are at the mid-stage.”

Young Master Qin was somewhat surprised. Logically, a small place like Guhuai Town could not support a late-stage Foundation Establishment ghost. He could only say that this female ghost named Xiao Qi indeed had some skills.

“Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, come out!” Lord Mi commanded the three female ghosts to come out.

The three female ghosts floated out from the temple, timidly saying “Lord Mi” in a voice that made people’s hearts itch.

They each held a white jade vial in their hands, containing the Yang Qi they had gathered over the past month.

Young Master Qin’s spirits perked up. He had seen many female cultivators and female ghosts of decent looks, but never ones like these three female ghosts, especially Xiao Qi.

When Xiao Qi and others saw Young Master Qin, they were surprised. Lord Mi usually appeared alone, why would he bring someone along today?

The plan did not include Young Master Qin.

“Lord Mi, may I borrow these three female ghosts? They have been wandering around Guhuai Town for a long time and will be a great help to me in finding the treasure.” Young Master Qin had a personal interest.

“Rest assured, Lord Mi, I know they are your cash cows. I am just borrowing them and once the treasure is found, I’ll return them to you. How about that?”

Lord Mi hesitated a bit. To say he was willing, he definitely was not. But the person in front of him was suspected to be the reincarnation of Master Qin. If he offended him, he would definitely make trouble for him in the future.

He gritted his teeth. It wouldn’t be worth it to offend the reincarnation of Master Qin over three female ghosts: “Alright then, I’ll lend them to Young Master Qin.”

While Lord Mi was preparing to transfer the soul restrictions to Young Master Qin, his face suddenly changed. Pulling the stunned Young Master Qin, he retreated hastily.

Three Sword Qi descended from the sky, stabbing into the place where Lord Mi had just been standing.

The Sword Qi was sharp, cutting into the earth as easily as slicing tofu. The Sword Qi burrowed into the ground, down who-knew-how-many meters, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Lord Mi was dumbfounded. These three Sword Qi had aimed at his vital points. If not for his special cultivation method, which allowed him to evade danger to a certain extent, these three Sword Qi would surely have forced him to use his life-saving magic artifact.

That was the life-saving magic artifact he exchanged with all his wealth.

Clap, clap, clap——

A casual applause echoed from behind the three female ghosts, like a nonchalant young master.

“Lord Mi, you’re really something. I thought these three swords, even if they didn’t kill you, would at least cause some trouble. I didn’t expect Lord Mi to evade them in advance with such agility.”

As the dust settled, four youthful figures appeared; three men and one woman. They were exuberant and magnificent, like dragons and phoenixes among people. Compared to them, even the suspect reincarnation of the sect master, Young Master Qin, seemed lesser in aura.

“Who are you!” Lord Mi was on his guard. The other party knew his identity, which surely meant they had come prepared and weren’t afraid of his Nascent Soul Stage.

The most important thing was that there were four of them, two in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and two in the early stage of Golden Core. The sword Qi must have been released by one of the early-stage Golden Core practitioners.

How can an early-stage Golden Core practitioner’s Sword Qi threaten him?

What kind of talent is this?

Super first-class sects couldn’t train one, only the Five Great Immortal Sects could train such a peerless talent.

Or is it a candidate for the Transcendence Tribulation Stage meticulously nurtured by the Great Xia Dynasty?

Regardless of which possibility it was, the situation was very bad.

Lord Mi was prepared. If anything went wrong, he would escape immediately.

The one who clapped earlier was the leader of the four. He seemed to ignore Lord Mi’s vigilance and hostility and chatted with him cheerfully, “Lord Mi of the Nine Nether Sect, right?”

The man picked at his fingernails, without lifting his head, “My name is Lu Yiyang.”

Lu Yang suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp, like wielding two sharp swords, startling Lord Mi so much that he dared not look into his eyes.

Lord Mi instinctively blinked, but he could no longer see anything. It was as if he had just experienced an illusion.

“Lord Mi doesn’t know much, and probably hasn’t heard of us.”

“We were all geniuses of the ancient times, aimed at becoming immortals. Unfortunately, Yingtian Immortal and others were jealous of our talents and set up obstacles, blocking our path to immortality. Having no other option, we chose to sleep and awaken just before the coming of the Great Era, to fight for the Dao Fruit of the immortals, and restore the glory of our Heavenly Court.”
