Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Seeing the crowd, this solitary Out-of-Body Stage Cultivator’s expression was quite complex, somewhat happy, yet somewhat apprehensive, happy to meet living people, as in this ghostly place, living people are naturally companions.

But also wary of the other party’s deep cultivation; everyone across from him looked clean, indicating they could move freely through this Ghost Realm without needing companions. If these people had any malicious intentions, he would be doomed.

No matter what, encountering people with higher cultivation than him, he still had to step forward to show respect. That Out-of-Body Stage Cultivator actively greeted and spoke, ”Junior Zhu Zhen greets all the Seniors.”

Xu Fengsheng glanced at this person a few times, took out a bottle of Elixir and handed it over: ”Immortal Friend, I see you seem quite badly injured.

I have some healing Elixir here, which works pretty well. Why don’t you take one pill first and treat your wounds?”

No matter what, after receiving a favor, it’s hard to say anything false when asking him for news about Guo Mingxin later. If he doesn’t know, so be it, but if he does, he’ll be unlikely to give false information.

Besides, Xu Fengsheng doesn’t lack Elixirs at all, often helping others with Elixirs when encountering people in need, otherwise, he wouldn’t have a friend like Yun Jue.

Zhu Zhen had been in this Nantian Ghost Kingdom for too long, having consumed all his Elixirs; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let his wounds go untreated. At this moment, Xu Fengsheng offered him Elixirs, and Zhu Zhen didn’t act coy, thanked him, and took it, then swallowed it.

Xu Fengsheng’s Elixir was naturally quite powerful, quickly healing Zhu Zhen’s wounds, even internal injuries were healed along with them, with excellent effect.

Feeling that his injuries were healed, Zhu Zhen was very happy and thanked Xu Fengsheng again. Xu Fengsheng waved his hand: ”You’re welcome; as fellow cultivators in this Ghost Realm, we should help each other.”

Having said that, Xu Fengsheng took out a Memory Stone, activated it with Spiritual Power, and the lifelike image of Guo Mingxin instantly appeared in front of Zhu Zhen.

With eyes full of anticipation, Xu Fengsheng said: ”This is my disciple. He entered here half a year ago and hasn’t been heard from since. I wonder if Immortal Friend has seen my disciple?”

Zhu Zhen carefully looked at Guo Mingxin’s Memory for a long time, finally shaking his head, apologetically saying: ”I am truly sorry, Senior, the junior has not seen this young Immortal Friend.”

Xu Fengsheng sighed, retrieved the Memory Stone, saying it’s impossible not to feel disappointed, though this outcome was also expected.

Nantian Ghost Kingdom is so vast that casually meeting someone who happens to have seen Guo Mingxin seems unlikely.

On the road afterward, Zhu Zhen naturally joined everyone in action, which was also customary; in Nantian Ghost Kingdom, cultivators encountered would form temporary alliances.

Outside, this is absolutely impossible; people’s minds are a mystery, and unknown cultivators would never easily travel together unless they know each other’s reputation or are affiliated with the same Immortal Sect like the Four Great Immortal Sects’ disciples.

During casual chat, it was revealed that Zhu Zhen was a Loose Cultivator, and through good fortune obtained a legacy from an Ancient Cultivator, able to cultivate all the way to Out-of-Body Stage.

Zhu Zhen came to Nantian Ghost Kingdom seeking treasure; although this place is a Ghost Realm, with living beings discouraged from entering, it has unique treasures, the Soul Cleansing Stone.

The Soul Cleansing Stone is a peculiar type of Spirit Jade, which evolves from Jade under the constant erosion of Yin Miasma over many years, extremely rare.

Carrying a Soul Cleansing Stone has effects like awakening the spirit and cleansing the soul, suppressing Heart Demons. In cultivation, Heart Demons are most feared, hence Soul Cleansing Stones have always been in short supply, fetching sky-high prices, just a finger-sized piece costing tens of thousands of Top-grade Spirit Stones.

These sky-high prices naturally lure a group of cultivators to Nantian Ghost Kingdom to seek treasure; finding just one piece of Soul Cleansing Stone could eliminate the need to worry about cultivation resources for decades.

This is why countless cultivators disregard the many dangers of Nantian Ghost Kingdom and insist on entering, for such high profit, making it difficult even for renowned sect cultivators to resist.

Zhu Zhen, being a Loose Cultivator without sect supply, has to depend on himself for all cultivation resources; the legacy from the Ancient Cultivator only barely suffices until the Divine Split Stage.

The cultivation resources for the Out-of-Body Stage consume massively; to avoid any impact on cultivation, Zhu Zhen has no choice but to take risks coming to Nantian Ghost Kingdom, seeking Soul Cleansing Stones for profit.

”I come here often, also have partnered with some Immortal Friends. There are places here set up with Arrays, which, once activated with Spirit Stones, can temporarily isolate the Yin Miasma, allowing for resting time.”

As Zhu Zhen spoke, he glanced around and then pointed to the southeast: ”The nearest resting spot is not far from here; if we speed up, we can reach there in half an hour.”

Upon hearing there is a place to rest, everyone immediately quickened their pace, and after roughly half an hour, a very abrupt large residence appeared ahead.

The reason this residence is described as abrupt is because the houses in this area are all in ruins; no matter how good the materials used initially, after years without repair, they cannot remain intact.

However, the exterior of this large residence is well-preserved, almost as if it’s been inhabited all along, standing out conspicuously among a patch of decayed courtyards.

The courtyard’s gate is not the common style of double doors, but rather a whole black wooden slab with no handle or other feature, looking curious indeed.

Zhu Zhen directly took out a Top-grade Spirit Stone, walked to the peculiar gate style, and pressed the Spirit Stone against the center of the gate.

Then, a water-like ripple appeared in front of the gate, and an Array radiating blue light manifested on the gate; Zhu Zhen’s Top-grade Spirit Stone was right at the center of this Array.

As the Array radiating blue light fully emerged, the gate gradually turned transparent, revealing the scene inside.

Zhu Zhen turned to call everyone: ”This is a resting spot we regulars who come here for Soul Cleansing Stones have jointly built.

Everyone, hurry in and take a break; this single Top-grade Spirit Stone can sustain it for an hour, enough to restore our stamina and replenish Spiritual Power.”

After expressing thanks, everyone entered this mansion, and once inside, the position of the gate again resumed the appearance of a black wooden slab.

Inside the mansion, people discovered it was vast, with as many as five courtyard layers both inside and out, each courtyard layout differing from residential homes.

Because within these courtyards were long rows of buildings, densely constructed, and the rooms appeared quite small, evidently convenient for many people to temporarily lodge and rest.

Noticing everyone was eyeing those rooms, Zhu Zhen explained: ”The previous Top-grade Spirit Stone was for us to enter this courtyard; after an hour passes, we will be automatically transmitted out.

Therefore, we must prepare in advance. If we wish to rest in those rooms, each room requires a separate Top-grade Spirit Stone, lasting for an hour.”
