Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

But Luo Feng was afraid of Zhu Zhen; the look in his eyes was cold, as though a snake stalking its prey. Upon closer inspection, there was nothing there, so Luo Feng moved closer to Shuangshuang, trying to avoid Zhu Zhen.

Nie Shuangshuang let Luo Feng follow her closely as they continued to the next resting point. Xu Fengsheng suspected that the place where Guo Mingxin had stopped before should have been a resting point.

As long as there were enough Spirit Stones, resting points were the safest places of refuge. However, for some unknown reason, Guo Mingxin left the resting point and started to move around.

This was exactly what worried Xu Fengsheng. Guo Mingxin was Xu Fengsheng’s disciple, and his Spirit Stones were more than sufficient. He could stay at the resting point for a hundred years without running out of Spirit Stones.

Guo Mingxin was an Alchemy Cultivator and had no combat ability. In this Ghost Realm, the best strategy was to stay at the resting point and wait for his master Xu Fengsheng to come and find him.

Earlier, when they entered, Guo Mingxin’s position hadn’t moved, indicating that he might have planned to stay put.

But later, Guo Mingxin left the safe resting point, which worried Xu Fengsheng the most. Unless he was forced into it, why would Guo Mingxin leave the safe refuge?

The more Xu Fengsheng thought about it, the more worried he became. His mind fretted uncontrollably, and he couldn’t help speeding up his pace, desperate to find him immediately.

Then, under the guidance of Zhu Zhen and his companions, the group ran to three resting points. It wasn’t until then that Xu Fengsheng heard about his disciple Guo Mingxin from a female cultivator.

The female cultivator last saw Guo Mingxin at one of the resting points. At that time, Guo Mingxin was with three companions: two Ghost Cultivators from the Hundred Ghosts Alliance and a Sword Cultivator from Feihua Valley.

When the female cultivator left, Guo Mingxin and the others were still at the resting point. She didn’t know if they left afterward, or why they would leave.

The group discussed momentarily and decided that it would be best to go to the resting point where Guo Mingxin had stayed.

Although Guo Mingxin had already left that resting point, it was where he stayed the longest. If Guo Mingxin expected Master Xu Fengsheng to come looking for him, he might have left a message for Xu Fengsheng.

The group hastened their pace in the direction the female cultivator indicated and arrived at the last resting point where Guo Mingxin stayed, a residence similar to previous resting point buildings.

Inserting a Top-grade Spirit Stone, the group entered the courtyard. Upon entering, Xu Fengsheng’s eyes lit up, and he pointed delightedly at a room directly facing the main gate: ”It’s a mark left by Mingxin!”

Without waiting for others to react, Xu Fengsheng strode over, inserted a Top-grade Spirit Stone into the door, and a flash of the Array allowed him to enter the room.

The group followed him in. The room’s space was very cramped, clearly made for one person. It could at most fit two people; any more, and they couldn’t move around.

Nie Shuangshuang found it cramped inside. Holding Ruoyang, she backed out. Zhu Zhen and the others didn’t enter at first, and Luo Feng followed Nie Shuangshuang in and back out again.

Beichen Ran and Gong Ziyun also retreated, finding it too narrow inside, leaving only Yun Jue to stay and help Xu Fengsheng search for clues.

The room was too small, and having more people wouldn’t help. Besides, any secret signs left by Guo Mingxin would definitely be unique to the Dan Dao Sect, making it hard for anyone but Xu Fengsheng to find.

Nie Shuangshuang sat on a rattan chair in the yard, feeding Ruoyang pieces of dried fish and meat. Although Ruoyang’s cultivation wasn’t low, she was still young and was not accustomed to the oppressive environment of the Nantian Ghost Kingdom.

Though Ruoyang was obedient and didn’t fuss, it was evident she was wilting and even lost her appetite for food.

At the moment, she was just gnawing on a piece of dried meat, lying in Nie Shuangshuang’s palm, holding the meat with her little paws, using her baby teeth to gnaw at it.

Before Ruoyang finished her piece of dried meat, Xu Fengsheng came out with a grim expression on his face, holding a very thin piece of Jade.

This Jade, resembling paper, was used for notes and had quite a large capacity. To read it, one need only immerse their Divine Sense into it, a tool very popular among cultivators as a replacement for mortal pen and paper.

Xu Fengsheng handed the Jade to Nie Shuangshuang, gesturing for her to take a look. Nie Shuangshuang took it, immersed her Divine Sense into it, and discovered it was indeed left by Guo Mingxin for his master Xu Fengsheng or whoever came to find him.

The Jade contained detailed records of why Guo Mingxin had no choice but to enter the Nantian Ghost Kingdom.

The reason was not the conspiracies Xu Fengsheng had previously imagined. Simply put, it was a disaster triggered by a hero rescuing a beauty.

Guo Mingxin and some disciples from the Hundred Ghosts Alliance and Feihua Valley went out for training. They were all at the Golden Core Stage, though Guo Mingxin, being under Xu Fengsheng’s guidance, had not trained much, unlike the others who had been on many training missions.

During the training, he was in charge of alchemy, providing various Elixirs.

Those entrusted with Xu Fengsheng’s disciples were surely of reliable cultivation and character. This group of children with righteous views encountered a female cultivator from a small family who had been captured and came to them for help mid-training.

Such matters naturally required rescuing. After rescuing the girl, she shared a shocking piece of news: she had been captured to be made into elixirs.

Not only Evil Cultivators would walk the Evil Path; even righteous people might take the Evil Path for cultivation.

In the world, some Spiritual Medicines that were incredibly effective in enhancing cultivation were inherently poisonous and couldn’t be directly used in Alchemy, requiring centuries of preparation.

Impatient individuals devised a vicious method: giving these toxic Spiritual Medicines to ordinary cultivators.

The cultivators who first ingested the medicines absorbed all the toxins.

Afterward, these toxin-absorbed cultivators would be used as ingredients for Alchemy to produce high-quality Elixirs, saving centuries of ingredient preparation time.

This method was pioneered not by Evil Cultivators but by an Alchemy Cultivator on the verge of death, unable to breakthrough. The consequences for him were severe when his deeds were discovered.

This method was immediately classified as a Forbidden Technique in the Cultivation World. Anyone daring to use this method, even without practicing Evil Cultivation Techniques, would be labeled an Evil Cultivator, hunted down by everyone.

Upon hearing this, Guo Mingxin and the others naturally could not stand idly by. The rescued female cultivator also mentioned that those who captured her belonged to a small family, with the highest cultivation level being Half-step Nascent Soul.
