After Becoming an Immortal, It Makes Sense to Have a Universal Treasure Pot

77: Jiang Qiuhe’s ExperienceSeeing that the Ghost King was completely controlled, Xu Qi’an finally let out a sigh of relief.

Fighting across stages is indeed not an easy task.

If possible, Xu Qi’an still preferred the straightforwardness of dimension reduction attacks (crossing a Realm).

Meanwhile, Jiang Qiuhe, seeing the Ghost King motionless in mid-air and combining it with Xu Qi’an’s state, instantly understood a lot.

”Senior actually controlled a Ghost King of the Nascent Soul Stage!”

Subduing a Ghost King comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage is by no means an easy feat.

Ghost Kings, being such malevolent spirits, are unruly and powerful. Even if a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator were to come, they probably wouldn’t gain much advantage.

But the fact was right before her eyes, and Jiang Qiuhe had to accept it.

And with that came heartfelt admiration!

Jiang Qiuhe had already prepared to die, but in these short few minutes, one reversal after another occurred, making her mood fluctuate like a roller coaster.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiuhe gave a deep bow: ”Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness. Qiuhe will repay you in this life!”

Xu Qi’an waved his hand: ”No need to call me Senior, Senior. From now on, you can call me Sect Leader, or Xu Qi’an.”

Jiang Qiuhe smiled sweetly: ”Then I’ll call you Sect Leader!”

Xu Qi’an shook his head and smiled, then seriously examined the Ghost King before him, contemplating in his heart.

”I didn’t expect to gain another unexpected harvest on this trip, obtaining a fighting force comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage!”

”Then the future trip to the Extraterritorial Battlefield will be much more convenient!”

Xu Qi’an then raised his hand and put the three-zhang-sized Ghost King before him into a bottle.

Then, he left the place with Jiang Qiuhe and returned to the first floor.

They then found a large teleportation array and returned directly to Soul Repair City.

However, just as Xu Qi’an and the others were leaving the Spiritual Cry Abyss, a slight roar came from the bottom layer of the Spiritual Cry Abyss.

”Who is it? Who took the Ghost King!!”

”Who exactly?!”

...

The place Xu Qi’an teleported back to was the same place he had used to enter, and the kind Cultivator who had given Xu Qi’an a reminder was also there.

As soon as the Cultivator saw the newcomers and realized it was Xu Qi’an, he was immediately surprised and said: ”Why are you back so soon? Did you catch the Yin spirit you liked?”

”Be careful not to lose your ten middle-grade spirit stones!”

But as soon as he finished this sentence, he saw a beautiful and exceptionally graceful female Cultivator beside Xu Qi’an, and his jaw dropped instantly.

”Damn, this kid, it turns out he went in for a hero saving the beauty!”

Xu Qi’an and Jiang Qiuhe had both concealed their cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage at this time, otherwise, it would have made this Cultivator drop his teeth.

Xu Qi’an smiled and nodded in response to the Cultivator, then returned the jade token to its original owner.

He then left by wind with Jiang Qiuhe.

Only the thick-browed and big-eyed Cultivator remained, secretly feeling jealous: ”This kid really has good luck with women!”

”Why don’t I ever encounter such things?”

After thinking for a while, he could only come to one conclusion.

It must be that their aesthetic standards are different!

...

Xu Qi’an did not stay in Soul Repair City any longer.

He took Jiang Qiuhe and flew all the way towards Yue Country.

Along the way, Xu Qi’an asked many of his doubts.

”Fellow Daoist Jiang, why did you come to such a remote place as Gui Xing Country?”

”After all, it’s quite a distance from Yue Country.”

Jiang Qiuhe shook her head and sighed: ”Sect Leader, Qiuhe didn’t want to.”

”But fate is truly playing tricks!”

”Back then, I cultivated to the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage before I was sixty, and I longed to form my Dan.”

”Unfortunately, Yue Country was poor and weak at that time, and the only Jie Dan Cultivator, Floating Cloud True Person, was also selected and sent to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, so I couldn’t possibly seek help from him.”

”Although the entire Yue Country is vast, there were no opportunities for Dan Formation, and to form my Dan, I had to leave and go to other countries to have a chance!”

”Thus, at that time, I had to bid farewell to the Jiang Family, leave Yue Country, and travel between various countries, hoping to find some opportunities for Dan Formation!”

”However, other countries discriminated against Cultivators from other countries, especially Cultivators from Yuan, Wu, and Chu countries, which was particularly severe. They heavily discriminated against Yue Country!”

”After that, I had to leave these three countries near Yue Country, and then step by step, I went to Piaomiao Country, Feiling Country, until I heard a Cultivator say that there were opportunities for Dan Formation in the Spiritual Cry Abyss!”

”So I came to Gui Xing Country and then entered the Spiritual Cry Abyss, where I stayed for decades more.”

”Later, I found a Dan Formation legacy, luckily formed my Dan, and then struggled in the Spiritual Cry Abyss for a long time. I obtained information about the ghost king key, and even obtained the ghost king key. I originally planned to return to Yue Country after finding the ghost king key.”

”But I never expected that my actions had already attracted the attention of several Jie Dan Cultivators from Gui Xing Country. In the end, I luckily escaped using some of my trump cards to a formation I discovered and lingered there until the appearance of the Sect Leader!”

”Only then was I finally rescued!”

Jiang Qiuhe’s narration was like telling a story, quite thrilling yet concise.

When she spoke of being alone, her expression was slightly lonely.

When she spoke of successfully forming her Dan, her expression became more uplifted.

Whether difficult or easy, in the end, Jiang Qiuhe finally persevered.

From her narration, Xu Qi’an knew what kind of suffering the graceful female Cultivator before him had endured.

The taste of it, perhaps only she herself knew.

After all, staying in a place without light for decades, the difficulties involved are imaginable.

Xu Qi’an couldn’t say anything comforting, he just patted her shoulder and smiled: ”It’s all in the past. From now on, you won’t be alone anymore.”

”Mm...”

The words were brief, but Jiang Qiuhe felt particularly warm, as if no one had said such words to her in a long time.

She inadvertently glanced at Xu Qi’an’s figure. That figure in the sunlight was very warm and reliable, making her heart feel a little moved.

She smiled and murmured: ”Yes, it’s all in the past, and I’m back. I’ve returned without letting down the Jiang Family, without letting down Yue Country.”

After a short rest, Jiang Qiuhe was very curious about how Xu Qi’an found her.

Xu Qi’an did not hide anything and told her everything.

”Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist and I have some fate.”

”When I was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I met your clan member Jiang Li. At that time, your clan was suffering a calamity of extinction, and I luckily saved her.”

”Something like that happened!” Jiang Qiuhe’s face instantly showed a hint of shock.

She had received no news from her clan at that time.

Xu Qi’an nodded and continued.

”To avenge the Jiang Family, she agreed to give me a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact, the Ting He Sword, for me to take action.”

”Ting He Sword? Is the Sect Leader talking about the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact I left with the Jiang Family?”

”Speaking of which, I also have an Autumn Moon Sword, which is a High Grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact. These two swords are a pair and can combine to become a top-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact, the Autumn Moon Ting He Sword.”

”Both of these swords shone brightly in my hands back then, but unfortunately, they were put away after entering the Dan Formation.”

Jiang Qiuhe casually took out a treasured sword from her storage bag.

The sword emitted faint sword energy, and a light moonlight aura remained on it. As Jiang Qiuhe looked at the sword in her hand, a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

”I left that Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact with the clan, intending it for the Jiang Family’s unforeseen needs, but I didn’t expect them not to use it.”

Xu Qi’an, however, shook his head and said: ”At that time, the Jiang Family had no Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage, so they couldn’t use a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact at all.”

Jiang Qiuhe was slightly startled and blamed herself: ”It was my oversight. I thought everyone would be like me, having a smooth sailing first half of their life.”

”But I forgot that the path of cultivation is inherently full of variables.”

Jiang Qiuhe sighed, then quickly adjusted her mood and asked: ”Sect Leader, what is the urgent matter for which you are looking for me back in Yue Country?”

Xu Qi’an stroked his chin and said: ”That’s a long story, but do you know about the Nascent Soul Decree?”

”Nascent Soul Decree?” Jiang Qiuhe quickly searched her memory for events related to this term.

”Is it the Nascent Soul Decree issued by the Heavenly Dao Sect?”

Xu Qi’an nodded and then said seriously: ”Ten years ago, the Nascent Soul Decree from the Heavenly Dao Sect descended from the sky, telling us in Yue Country.”

”You must meet the quota of five Jie Dan Cultivators and two hundred Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

”But at that time, I was the only Jie Dan Cultivator!”

”What?!” Jiang Qiuhe was instantly shocked when she heard this.

”Such a quota, is the Heavenly Dao Sect crazy?”

”How could Yue Country possibly complete this?”

”Yes, for the originally poor and weak Yue Country, this was basically an impossible task to complete.” Xu Qi’an also felt somewhat emotional.

”However, with our efforts, we still met the quota of four Jie Dan Cultivators and over two hundred Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

”So now, only you are missing.”

”Welcome home, Jiang Qiuhe.”
