Talent Unrivaled Through the Ages? Reunited with Xiaoqian!

Hua Yao looked serious.

Despite her young age, she is still a beautiful young woman.

However, his talent in alchemy was unmatched by ordinary people.

The Pure World White Lotus in his hand was the main auxiliary material for refining the fifth-grade elixir, the Nascent Soul Pill.

In Hua Yao's view

It doesn't matter if Chen Changqing can't advance to the Nascent Soul within a year.

As long as she can refine the Nascent Soul Pill here, Chen Changqing will naturally be able to advance in rank.

After thinking for a moment, Hua Yao composed herself.

This time, she finally met the person she had been longing for, and Hua Gu also made a one-year promise with Chen Changqing.

This filled Hua Yao with longing!

Then, without lingering in front of the mountain gate, she happily walked into the valley.

Meanwhile, atop the Main Peak of Medicine God Valley.

Two figures stood side by side.

It was Hua Gu, the master of Medicine God Valley, and his brother Hua Lixuan.

Watching Chen Changqing depart on his sword, Hua Gu glanced at him and muttered in a low voice:

"Second brother."

"Do you think this kid... is really worth our investment?"

As the master of Medicine God Valley, Hua Gu bears a heavy responsibility and needs to consider the future of the entire Medicine God Valley.

Besides, there were other reasons why he previously said that Chen Changqing should advance to the Nascent Soul within three years.

That is to say, Hua Yao is not as simple as she appears on the surface.

He is a person with a special constitution.

There are quite a few people eyeing Hua Yao, including the Ten Great Sacred Lands, the Demon Sect, and some major Lineage.

It was precisely because of this sense of urgency that Hua Gu made that request of Chen Changqing.

Who knew that Chen Changqing thought three years was too long and suggested that only one year was needed.

Hearing what Hua Gu said, Hua Lixuan smiled slightly and said with a firm gaze:

"Brother, I believe in Changqing."

"He was able to reverse the Purple Mansion while still in the Golden Core, and in a short time, he advanced to the Purple Mansion as well."

"After that, he rose to the top of the Azure Dragon Ranking."

"This child's talent is probably unparalleled throughout the ages."

After hearing Hua Lixuan's high praise for Chen Changqing, Hua Gu was slightly surprised and joked:

"You're practically praising this kid to the skies."

"Could it be that she received some kind of benefit from him?"

While saying this aloud, Hua Gu sighed inwardly:

I hope so!

"If this kid can really advance to the Nascent Soul within a year..."

"A marriage alliance between Medicine God Valley and Mount Shu would indeed be a wonderful thing!"

On the other side, Chen Changqing rode his sword and sped towards Mount Shu.

Before we knew it, three days had passed.

On this day, as he passed over a small town, he suddenly sensed a large amount of Ghost Qi.

"Um?"

"Isn't this the same town that Rujie and I came to before?"

Chen Changqing hesitated for a moment, frowned, and pressed down on the Sword Light, which then descended upon the town below.

Looking back, when he came to this small town to gain experience, he met the Rujie, who drank and ate meat, in a restaurant.

According to Rujie, Chen Changqing learned that the town was haunted by ghosts.

Later, Rujie invited Chen Changqing to join him in exorcising evil spirits and upholding justice.

With the Essence Blood of the Little Black Dog Wangcai clearing the way, the two successfully entered a Ghost Realm and encountered Ghost General Granny Ghost with the strength of Golden Core cultivator.

Chen Changqing and Rujie joined forces and successfully killed Granny Ghost.

"Could it be that Granny Ghost isn't quite dead yet?"

Chen Changqing secretly speculated.

But after wandering around the town for a while, he discovered...

The town was peaceful, with pedestrians coming and going on the streets and vendors calling out their wares; it didn't seem like there were any ghosts or evil spirits around.

"Looks like we have to go check out that place where the Ghost Qi is emanating!"

Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

Looking back, after he and Rujie eliminated Granny Ghost, they quickly left.

After all, this Granny Ghost has the Black Mountain Ghost King as her powerful backer.

This Ghost King- level ghost is equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivator in the outside world.

At that time, Chen Changqing was only at the Core Formation Realm.

However, his cultivation has now advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, and it is not an ordinary Purple Mansion. He has opened up six Purple Mansions among his nine Golden Cores.

If he were to encounter the Black Mountain Ghost King again now, Chen Changqing was confident he could fight him.

Next, Chen Changqing followed the Ghost Qi to a place outside the town.

This place was once a ruin, where Chen Changqing and Rujie fought their great battle against Granny Ghost.

However, what surprised Chen Changqing was...

The original dilapidated state has vanished, replaced by a Fire Cauldron temple.

"This?"

What's going on?

"Could it be that the temple harbors a great deal of Ghost Qi?"

Chen Changqing was secretly surprised.

But I've never encountered a situation like this before.

After a slight hesitation, he didn't think much of it and got up to walk into the temple.

Upon entering the temple, one can see many devout villagers offering incense and praying for blessings in front of the main hall.

Chen Changqing bypassed the front hall and arrived at the temple's back courtyard.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, a cold shout suddenly rang out:

"Who Cultivator to trespass on my territory?"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of Golden Core energy erupted.

"Call out!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure in white gracefully landed.

This woman's skin shimmered like rosy clouds, her feet were delicate and graceful, and even in broad daylight, her beauty was absolutely stunning.

"Um?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Changqing immediately recognized her. Wasn't this woman in white the female ghost Xiaoqian, whom he had rescued from the clutches of the Granny Ghost?

"Xiaoqian?"

He exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian was also taken aback and stared straight at Chen Changqing.

Only after recognizing Chen Changqing did she immediately suppress her fierce aura, quickly stepping forward and excitedly saying:

"It's you! Ah... my benefactor!"

Looking back, after defeating the Granny Ghost, Chen Changqing also saved the female ghost Xiaoqian.

Xiaoqian originally wanted to go to Mount Shu with Chen Changqing, but Chen Changqing refused.

After all, it's the Shu Mountain Sacred Land. If he takes Xiaoqian back, it would be fine if no one finds out.

If this gets discovered, not only will Xiaoqian's life be in danger, but he will also be held responsible.

Therefore, Chen Changqing gave Xiaoqian the Ghost Cultivator method he had obtained from Granny Ghost, allowing her to cultivate on her own in this small town.

What shocked Chen Changqing was...

This Xiaoqian was originally a wandering ghost, yet she already possessed the cultivation of Ghost General.

Besides, what surprised Chen Changqing even more was...

He actually sensed a trace of merit on Xiaoqian.

Logically speaking, this thing shouldn't be able to appear on Ghost Cultivator!

Just as Chen Changqing hesitated, Xiaoqian quickly bowed gracefully to Chen Changqing:

"Xiaoqian was unaware of your arrival, my benefactor. Please forgive any offense I may have caused!"

Seeing this, Chen Changqing came to his senses and said calmly:

"Rise! No need for formalities!"

Xiaoqian nodded and stood up with a happy expression.

Meeting Chen Changqing again filled her with joy.

After all, everything she has now is thanks to Chen Changqing.

"My benefactor."

Please come with me!

Then, guided by Xiaoqian, Chen Changqing entered a barrier in the backyard.

"My benefactor, what brings you here?"

Xiaoqian asked curiously.

Chen Changqing responded calmly:

"I returned to Mount Shu and sensed Ghost Qi here, so I came to investigate. I never expected it to be you!"

He paused briefly, then asked a question:

"But you, how come you have the aura of merit on you?"
