Mysterious mirror hanging high

While Jing Yu was thinking, he suddenly felt the mysterious mirror in his dantian vibrate slightly. He probed his mind into it and found that the white light dot in the mirror that represented Han Ping's fate had grown slightly larger and was a little brighter than before.

"Brother Han?" Jing Yu asked in surprise.

After about a quarter of an hour, his [Spiritual Stone Embryo] lit up, and it turned out that Han Ping had sent him a message:

"I've managed to form a pill by chance, so I'm reporting the good news to Xuan Jing. Everything is fine now, don't worry."

"Brother Han has achieved Dan!"

A hint of joy appeared on Jing Yu's face. "You are just a mortal, taking one step at a time, with just an ordinary fate. To have come this far, Brother Han is amazing!"

So he sent his congratulations and exchanged a few words with Han Ping in Tianmingfang. As for where Han Ping was now, he didn't say, and Jing Yu was tactful and didn't ask.

After everything was packed up, Jing Yu left the guest room and went to say goodbye to Master Jinlian.

For more than two months, Jing Yu had been living and eating in the Niehai Jinlian Temple. From time to time, he would come to Master Jinlian to ask for money, and had already squeezed the old monk to the point of tears. Now that he saw Jing Yu was about to leave, he naturally thanked him profusely and sent this plague god out of the temple.

Jing Yu followed the location given by the Mountain Ghost and took out the Star-Fixing Spirit Plate he had snatched from Master Jinlian to find the direction. After finally determining the route, he set up a light and flew towards his destination.

This secret realm was neither far nor near from Jing Yu's location, and it would take about two or three days to fly away at full speed. Jing Yu knew that the inheritance secret realm where the Mountain Ghost was trapped was just a trap and there was no danger to his life, so he did not rush to travel at full speed, but maintained a speed of about 70%, ensuring that his mana consumption was within an extremely low range to deal with emergencies.

After almost three days of hiding, they saw the weather suddenly change. There were lightning and thunder over the entire sea area, and heavy winds and rain. It was obvious that a storm was coming.

The storms at sea in the Falling Star Sea are no ordinary ones. They can easily cause the surrounding spiritual energy to become violent. The closer to the inland sea, the more dangerous the storm. The intensity of thunderstorms in many strange areas is even comparable to that of Jindan magic. Even if a Jindan Zhenren fails to check for a while, he will suffer.

Therefore, Jing Yu did not dare to be careless. He found a small island nearby, landed his escape light, and prepared to take shelter here, waiting for this wave of storm to pass before rescuing the Mountain Ghost.

But the moment he landed on the island, he subconsciously used the Mystical Mirror to explore the surrounding environment and found a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. His face changed and he thought to himself:

"Is there a concealing formation on this island? Could it be that this is owned territory..."

Before he could react, a large green hand suddenly emerged from the ground of the island, grabbed Jing Yu, and dragged him into the ground.

The next moment, Jing Yu found himself in a natural underground cave. Although the cave was not large, it was more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Now the cave was empty, with only an old man in a white robe with white hair and beard and a topknot on his head sitting cross-legged not far away.

The old man had a storage bag on his waist, and next to the storage bag hung a lush green bamboo pot, which contained dozens of straight and slender green bamboo divination sticks.

Late stage of Golden Elixir!

Jing Yu's body stiffened. The old man was clearly emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure of a late Jindan realm, and he didn't even try to conceal it.

Jing Yu estimated that with his current magical powers, if he encountered a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan who had achieved the lower grade of elixir, he might be able to escape by using the bitter cross and Xuan Guang to escape through earth. However, if he encountered a great immortal in the late stage of Jindan, there would be no way he could leave safely unless he used the golden token given to him by Jiu Ming Daojun.

Beside this old man in white robe stood a tall female cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In fact, this female cultivator looked almost as tall as Jing Yu himself, and her skeleton was extremely thick. Although her body was tightly wrapped in robes, her exposed hands looked dark and rough just by looking at the backs of her hands.

There was a very obvious circle of black spines on the base of his palm. If it weren't for the women's robes and long hair draped over his shoulders, the large pores and lush hair on the back of his fingers would almost make Jing Yu think that he was a male cultivator with a fetish for cross-dressing!

When Jing Yu was about to carefully identify whether this person was a man or a woman, he found that the person was wearing a white mask with only a pair of eyes exposed, covering the entire face tightly. Jing Yu secretly touched the mask with his spiritual thoughts, but was bounced back.

It’s actually a mask that can block divine thoughts?

Just as Jing Yu was extremely curious about this person's face, the masked female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage spoke to the white-robed old man. Her voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as Jing Yu had imagined:

"Ancestor, this person accidentally broke into our hiding place. If we let him out like this, I'm afraid the news will leak out... What do you think?"

The old man in white robes waved his hand and said, "It's not an accident. I brought him here. Jinghong, please stand aside and watch. I want to have a few words with this young friend."

The old man coughed a few times, stared at Jing Yu and said slowly:

"My dear friend, my name is Song Jianxu, and I come from the Song family of Xingluo Island. The girl next to you is a younger generation of my family, Song Jinghong."

"I just saw you land on this island. I really have something to ask of you, so I brought you here. If I've been abrupt in any way, I hope you can forgive me."

Song Jianxu?

Jing Yu was stunned. The Golden Core Patriarch of the Song family on Xingluo Island?

Such a coincidence?

Could it be that Song Jinghong beside him...

He quickly and secretly cast two detection spells over, and it was just as he expected.

The old cultivator Song Jianxu in the late Jindan stage ordered the Xuan Mirror to flash with white light, which turned out to be a white seal character, "Ordinary Fate" (ordinary).

The female foundation-building cultivator beside Song Jianxu caused the mysterious mirror to flash with blue light, and a blue seal character appeared on the mirror:

"[Mountain Ghost Companion], Grade: Fine (Blue)."

"Specific function: The owner of this fate is born with a mountain ghost as a companion, which can be driven. They are more proficient in practicing ghost-related skills such as controlling ghosts, exorcising ghosts, and raising ghosts."

"Origin of Fate: Fate [One Hundred Ghosts Night Parade]: A cultivator who failed to attain Dao Lord status died, his Dao vanished, and his Dao Fruit vanished. His fate returned to the heavens and earth, and the world was then filled with [mountain ghosts]."

Accompanying a mountain ghost?

Is this person the [Mountain Ghost] who previously posted a message for help in [Tianmingfang]?

Combined with the fact that [Mountain Ghost] had previously stated that he was a direct descendant of the Song family on Xingluo Island, everything seemed to fit in.

But wasn't she trapped in a secret place a few days ago? How come she was rescued by the clan's ancestors before he could even rescue her?

But since he has escaped, why is he hiding on such a remote island with his family's Golden Core Patriarch?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Jing Yu bowed and replied:

"Master Song, what are you talking about? I've been traveling here since leaving home, and I've long heard that Master Song Jianxu of Xingluo Island is unrivaled in the southern region of Luoxing Sea in his divination skills. It's a pity I haven't had a suitable reason to visit him... If there's anything I can do for you, please feel free to ask!"
