A Prodigy Who Had Slept Since Ancient Times

"I wonder how Young Master Qin intends to find his treasure?"

Young Master Qin chuckled twice, "Does Lord Mi think I hid the treasure in Ancient Locust Town because I randomly chose a location? Not at all."

"What does Mr. Mi think Guhuai Town is most famous for?"

Master Mi hesitated for a moment. "A female ghost?"

The mention of Guhuai Town reminded him of the three female ghosts with the best performance records.

Master Mi plans to have the three female ghosts write down their experiences and methods and report them to him. He will then use these successful experiences to report to higher-ups, making it easier to vigorously promote the sustainable strategy of absorbing yang energy, thereby increasing the living space of the female ghosts in the sect and increasing the yang energy absorption rate.

What Xiao Qi and the other two didn't know was that Master Mi had hundreds of ghosts under his command, all of whom obeyed him and diligently collected yang energy.

But only those three had the highest performance and earned the favor of Master Mi.

Young Master Qin: "..."

Young Master Qin suppressed his anger and a smile appeared on his face, "It's a locust tree."

"The locust tree is said to nurture ghosts, as it is a rare object that connects the realms of Yin and Yang. Our sect believes in the existence of the Nine Netherworlds, and the locust tree's properties are in line with our sect's doctrines."

"In my past life, I was well-versed in this art and favored locust trees. Ancient Locust Town has many locust trees, so it was only natural that they caught my attention in my past life."

"Therefore, in my previous life, I buried the treasure under a locust tree and placed it under multiple seals. It was also affected by the yin Yin Qi of the ancient locust tree, making it impossible to find through Divine Sense, karma, or the third eye. It could only be found with the naked eye of the mortal world."

Young Master Qin spoke calmly, as if recalling his past life experiences.

In truth, he didn't know where the treasure Qin had hidden was, but he had a high-ranking member of the Nine Nether Sect behind him who was well-versed in the principles of cause and effect. After paying a certain price, he roughly calculated the clues to the treasure of Qin.

[Locust tree]

This is the result calculated by that high-ranking member of the Nine Nether Sect.

With a clue, he only needed to search Guhuai Town step by step for a period of time, and he would eventually find it.

And Mr. Mi, who watched from the beginning, is the best witness.

This would confirm his identity as the reincarnation of the Qin Cult Leader.

"Unfortunately, the matter of reincarnation is too complicated and involves too many things. Even if I successfully reincarnate, I still cannot glimpse all the mysteries of reincarnation. Right now, I have only unlocked a corner of my past life's memories, and I can't quite remember the exact location of the treasure." Young Master Qin shook his head, his tone revealing vicissitudes and regret.

"In that case, I will go to Ancient Locust Town tomorrow to retrieve the collected Yang energy. Young Master Qin, would you like to come with me?"

"Good."

The next morning, Master Mi led Young Master Qin to the dilapidated temple in Ancient Locust Town.

Young Master Qin frowned subconsciously, somewhat disgusted by the dilapidated temple. "Right here?"

Master Mi laughed and said, "Young Master Qin, don't underestimate this place. It provides a large amount of yang energy every month. The yang energy collected from just one place, Guhuai Town, is equivalent to that collected from seven or eight small towns, and sometimes even more."

"That's interesting. I'd like to hear more about it."

"There are three female ghosts here. They have forgotten their past lives and their real names, so they have given themselves nicknames: Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi is the youngest and the most intelligent of the three sisters. She also has the highest cultivation talent among them, with the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Her two older sisters are at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

Young Master Qin was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, a place as small as Ancient Locust Town should not be able to nurture a ghost in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. It can only be said that this female ghost named Xiao Qi is indeed capable.

"Little Five, Little Six, Little Seven, come out!" Master Mi commanded the three female ghosts to come out.

Three female ghosts floated out of the temple, timidly calling out "Lord Mi," making everyone's hearts itch with anticipation.

Each of them held a jade bottle filled with the yang energy they had collected over the past month.

Young Master Qin's spirits lifted. He had seen many female cultivators and ghosts who were of decent appearance, but he had never seen three female ghosts like these, especially Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi and the others were surprised to see Young Master Qin. Lord Mi always appeared alone, so why was he accompanied by someone today?

Young Master Qin wasn't on the plan.

"Lord Mi, would you mind lending me these three female ghosts? They've been wandering around Ancient Locust Town for a long time and would be of great help in my search for treasure." Young Master Qin had his own selfish motives.

"Don't worry, Lord Mi, I know they're your cash cows. They're just borrowing them for a bit; they'll return them to you once they find the treasure. How about it?"

Lord Mi hesitated. He was definitely unwilling to do so, but the other party was suspected to be the reincarnation of the Qin Sect Leader. If he offended him, the other party would definitely make things difficult for him in the future.

He gritted his teeth, not wanting to offend the reincarnation of Master Qin for the sake of three female ghosts. "Very well, then I'll lend them to Young Master Qin."

Lord Mi made a hand seal, preparing to transfer the soul restriction to Young Master Qin. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he pulled the still stunned Young Master Qin back hastily.

Three Sword Qi descended from the sky, striking the spot where Lord Mi had just been standing.

The Sword Qi was sharp, cutting through the soil as easily as slicing tofu. The Sword Qi penetrated the soil, drilling deep underground for who knows how many meters before finally disappearing.

Lord Mi was still in shock as the three Sword Qi hurtled towards his vital points. If it weren't for his special Cultivation Method, which allowed him to avoid the risks to some extent, he would have had to use his life-saving Sword Qi Law Treasure to defend himself.

That was a life-saving Law Treasure bought with one's life and fortune.

Slap slap slap--

A casual round of applause came from behind the three female ghosts, like that of a carefree playboy.

"Lord Mi, you are truly skilled. I thought that even if these three swords didn't kill you, they would at least have some effect on you. I didn't expect you to be so agile and dodge them in advance."

As the dust settled, four young figures appeared—three men and one woman—full of vigor and talent. Even the young master Qin, who was suspected to be the reincarnation of the sect leader, paled in comparison.

"Who are you!" Lord Mi was on high alert. The other party knew his identity and must have come prepared. They were not afraid of him, Nascent Soul Realm.

Most importantly, the opponent consisted of four people: two in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and two in the early Golden Core stage. The Sword Qi was likely emitted by one of the early Golden Core stage cultivators.

How could Sword Qi from someone at the early stage of the Golden Core possibly pose a threat to him?

What a genius!

These are unparalleled geniuses that even the top-tier sects cannot cultivate; only the Five Great Immortal Sects can nurture them.

Or perhaps the Great Xia Dynasty is intentionally cultivating a candidate for the Tribulation Transcendence stage?

Either way, the situation is terrible.

"The Five Great Immortal Sects? The Imperial Court?"

Lord Mi was prepared to flee at the slightest sign of trouble.

The man who had just clapped was the leader of the four. Seemingly oblivious to Lord Mi's wariness and hostility, he chatted and laughed with him, "Lord Mi of the Nine Nether Sect, is that right?"

The man picked at his fingers, not even looking up, and said, "My name is Lu Yiyang."

Lu Yang suddenly raised his head, his gaze intense, as if he were holding two sharp swords, startling Lord Mi so much that he dared not look directly into his eyes.

Lord Mi blinked instinctively, but couldn't see anything again, as if he had just hallucinated.

"Lord Mi is rather ignorant; he probably hasn't heard of us."

Lu Yang chuckled lightly, "What are the Five Great Immortal Sects? What is the Great Xia Dynasty? We are all geniuses from High Antiquity times, aspiring to become immortals. Unfortunately, back then, Ying Tianxian and others were jealous of our talents and set up obstacles, sealing off the path to immortality. We had no choice but to slumber, choosing to awaken before the coming great era to compete for the Immortal Dao Fruit and restore the glory of our Heavenly Court."

The second update will be around 10:30 PM.
