It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

"I don't have any purpose, I just think it's fun. Now I don't want to play anymore, you can go away."

The little boy hung his head, looking lonely, and his figure gradually became illusory.

Although this little boy is a ghost cultivator, Cheng Shuyan did not sense any resentment from him. He must have never killed anyone.

"Why don't you leave? Why do you stay here? Logically speaking, you are already a ghost cultivator now. If you can find the ghost realm, it will also help your cultivation.

This place is where cultivators gather. It will be of no benefit to your cultivation if you, a ghost cultivator, stay here all the time."

In addition to the world of immortal cultivation and the demon realm, there is also a ghost realm in the Thousand Spirit Realm. However, the ghost realm has always been mysterious, and ghost cultivators will not easily come into contact with other living beings.

But for ghost cultivators, they are born with the ability to sense ghost energy, so finding the ghost realm is relatively easy.

"I can't leave. I have to wait for my mother to pick me up." The little boy shook his head, his tone somewhat expectant.

"You must have been here for quite some time. Is she here?"

It is not easy to cultivate as a ghost. It requires the right time, place and people. Only then can the soul of a person remain after death. After that, it takes a long time of accumulation to become a ghost cultivator.

This little boy has now reached the fourth level of Qi training, so he must have been a ghost cultivator for quite some time.

By this calculation, he would have died even earlier, probably no less than a hundred years ago.

Hearing this, the little boy looked lost.

"I've been awake for about twenty years, but she's never been here."

Then he raised his head and looked at Cheng Shuyan, his eyes firm as he said, "But she will definitely come. My mother loves me very much, she will definitely come to pick me up!"

"Is your mother a monk?"

Cheng Shuyan couldn't bear to dash his hopes, but he was a kind-hearted child and had the chance to become a ghost cultivator. Cheng Shuyan didn't want him to waste his time like this.

"No." The little boy shook his head: "She is just a mortal."

"Yes, she is just a mortal, with a lifespan of a hundred years at most. You have the opportunity to become a ghost cultivator by staying here, so your time will surely not be too short. Do you think your mother is still alive?"

"Sister, what should I do?"

He is just a soul now, without tears, but Cheng Shuyan can feel his sadness.

"I know she might be dead. One of my brothers told me so before, but I don't want to leave. I want to wait for her."

"In that case, why don't you go find her and see how she's doing now and whether she's come back to look for you, okay?"

If he stayed here, he would not get any results, so Cheng Shuyan could only find a way to persuade him to leave.

No matter what the result is, as long as he leaves, seeks this result, and resolves the obsession in his heart, he can practice with peace of mind.

The boy's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and he said in a firm tone:

"Yes, sister, I want to go find my mother! She didn't come to pick me up, she must have her own difficulties.

Since she can't come, I will go find her and ask her about her difficulties."

The little boy had hope, and his body gradually became solid again. However, his cultivation was still weak, and he looked different from ordinary people.

If he went to a place where mortals gathered like this, the ghost energy in his body would easily cause harm to mortals. If this attracted the attention of monks, it would be disadvantageous to him.

"With your current soul, if you go to look for your mother like this, I'm afraid..."

Cheng Shuyan didn't finish her words, but he understood what she meant.

Once upon a time, a mortal fell into this trap by mistake, and he wanted to save the other person.

But he had just regained his consciousness and could not control the evil spirit in his body. The mortal was injured by his evil spirit and almost died here.

Later, someone else passed by and heard the man's cry for help. He rescued him in time and he did not lose his life.

Seeing his eyes dim, Cheng Shuyan sighed slightly and decided to help him.

After all, that illusion allowed her parents to live a good life. Even though it was just an illusion, she was still grateful to him.

"Do you still remember where your home is? I'll take you there, but I'll have to ask you to temporarily form a bond with me. Once you find the answer, I'll release you."

"I do! Sister, I know where my home is. It's not far from here and won't take up too much of your time."

"Okay, but I have to make it clear to you that this contract is a master-servant contract. If I lie to you and refuse to release you, you won't be able to escape."

This type of contract is the most commonly used contract in the world of immortal cultivation. Most cultivators will accept a spiritual beast as a spiritual pet to improve their own strength.

Occasionally, some monks would recruit ghost servants, and they would also use a master-servant contract.

So she made a master-servant contract with the little boy, and then took him with her when she walked in the world. She could use the contract to restrain the little boy so that he would not hurt others because of his own ghost energy.

Moreover, if any cultivator discovered his identity, he, a ghost cultivator who had become a ghost servant, would not be of much use to other cultivators and would not be too dangerous.

"Sister, I believe you, come on."

The boy didn't hesitate at all, completely letting go of his mind and being completely defenseless against her.

Seeing that he was so determined, Cheng Shuyan did not act pretentiously. She formed a spiritual seal and imprinted her spiritual consciousness on it.

The spiritual seal then penetrated into his soul, successfully imprinting her aura on it.

A thought of submission floated into her sea of ​​consciousness, and through this thought, she could feel her absolute control over the little boy.

She knew the contract was done.

"I only know that your name is Zhier, what is your full name?" The two of them would probably be traveling together for a while, so she wanted to know more about the little boy.

"Sister, my name is Lin Zhi. My mother always calls me Zhi'er. My home is in Linjia Village, at the foot of these mountains."

This is the outermost part of Xunwuze. The spiritual energy here is not very strong, similar to the Shiqiao Village where she used to live. Cultivators rarely appear in these places.

She was also chasing the demon snake and that's when she met Lin Zhi.

So what he said about the existence of mortal villages and towns under the mountains is entirely possible.

"Then why did you... fall into this trap alone? Do you still remember?"

"I..." Lin Zhi couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this question.

"I don't remember anything, I just remember that day I went up the mountain with my mother, and then...

When I woke up again, I was like this.

But what I remember is that my mother asked me to wait for her and she said she would come to pick me up soon, but I never waited for her.

Sister, my mother must love me. Do you think I did something wrong that’s why she didn’t come to see me?

When he spoke the last part, his voice was a little choked up. He vaguely felt that his mother would not come to pick him up.

But he didn't want to believe this fact, he could only desperately find excuses for A Niang, it wasn't that A Niang didn't want to come, it was that he made A Niang angry, and A Niang had no choice but to come.

Because of the contract, Cheng Shuyan could feel the sadness in his heart.

I couldn't help but think of my younger sister. Is she also wondering why her sister doesn't go to pick her up and take her home?
