After leaving a distance, he felt that there was no one around to follow him, so he quietly changed out of his clothes and acted as Qi Mingchen.
He currently needs to find a place to eat the refreshing fruit and practice quietly.
It's not easy to find such a place where you won't be disturbed.
There is a large forest nearby, but he is not very familiar with it and is worried that there will be strange beasts that he cannot deal with.
But in order to repair the hidden wounds, he was still going to find a secluded place inside.
As the night gets darker, the originally ordinary-looking forest becomes mysterious under the moonlight. The light shines through the leaves on the ground, like a silver ocean.
He walked deeper step by step, and for some reason he felt a feeling in his heart.
There seemed to be something inside that was attracting him.
His consciousness became trance-like, as if he was becoming sleepy, and yet he seemed to be more awake.
Something's wrong!
He woke up suddenly and realized that something was wrong with his state.
When this thought arises, this trance-like feeling disappears, and consciousness returns instantly!
"here……"
He opened his eyes slightly and looked around. The forest suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a village that looked very old.
The village is still located in the valley, with low buildings scattered among them. The mottled walls can feel the years the houses have experienced.
But just now, he was clearly in a forest. When did it turn into a village?
At this time, he saw someone in the village, who looked like a very ordinary villager. But before he took two steps, he found that his consciousness was in a trance again, and the surrounding scene changed back to the forest.
He stood there, lost in thought.
Was that an illusion just now?
It's not like he just smelled something different from this forest. Whether it was feeling or anything, it felt like he had really come to another place...
Rather than saying it was an hallucination, he felt it was more like the secret realm he had experienced before, but this place itself was not far from the Secret Realm of Asking the Heart, and secret realms could not be too close to each other.
In other words, is it possible that this place has something to do with the Secret Realm of Asking the Heart?
He guessed, but also felt the danger.
He doesn't plan to stay here any longer. He plans to wait until everything becomes stronger before he can explore this place again.
【You feel right. 】
A familiar voice sounded in my mind.
Qi Mingchen stopped.
His whole body was tense. The sudden appearance of such a voice in his mind in the dark night really startled him.
"Ask the secret realm of the heart?"
[Yes, but you can call me ghost. 】
Qi Mingchen saw the ring in his hand and said clearly: "Did you run into my ring?"
[Well, I won't disturb you or anything. 】
"..." He didn't expect that choosing a ring would cause such trouble, but even if he knew, he would probably continue to choose a ring.
"You just said that my feeling was correct. What did you mean?"
[This place is indeed related to the Secret Realm of Asking the Heart, but compared with this place, the Secret Realm can be regarded as playing house. 】
"Playing... house?" Qi Mingchen felt that playing house in the postnatal period did not sound very interesting.
[You just had a great destiny. If you want to leave there alive, you have to at least reach the Nascent Soul stage. 】
Qi Mingchen was greatly shocked and shouted in horror: "Nascent Soul Stage!"
The Nascent Soul stage can be regarded as the strongest existence in the entire continent.
Currently, there are only three known Yuanying Stages, and they are respectively in charge of three first-class forces.
"Is this seemingly ordinary village so dangerous?"
[This is the real secret realm...]
He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you leave with me?"
[I thought you wouldn’t ask. 】
"..." He just cares more about the village.
[Well, I am just the unified consciousness of the secret realm. I have been responsible for managing that secret realm. Now that the task is completed, I want to leave. 】
"So you ran to me?"
[Because you are the only one who has not been replaced. 】
Qi Mingchen didn't believe it. He always felt that this ghost had an ulterior motive.
He didn't really like having everything he did being spied upon, so he simply asked, "How can you leave?"
【Are you going to drive me away? I kindly came out to remind you, but you want to drive me away? 】
He didn't understand why this man spoke with so much resentment, as if he was in trouble and finally gave up.
"I don't like my life being spied on, and..." Qi Mingchen kicked away the stone under his feet and said calmly: "I don't trust you."
【……】
The ghost fell into silence, and after a long time, he said:
[I can indeed leave, but it will be beneficial for you to keep me. 】
He sat on a tree stump, opened the wine gourd, poured it into his mouth, and said in a much more cheerful tone, "What's the benefit?"
[Why do you seem to be a different person after drinking? 】
Facing the person who was cold just now, he suddenly became free and easy, and Ming Gui was a little uncomfortable.
"Oh, aren't you listening carefully? Take a sip of wine if you're bored."
[...Okay, my existence can enhance the space ring and make the space grow with your strength. 】
Qi Mingchen's eyes lit up and he smiled: "This is indeed good!"
A space ring that can grow, this is definitely a treasure that first-rate forces will fight for.
"So...is there any more?"
[Isn’t this enough? Normally, this value is already very high! 】
"I was drunk, so I was unreasonable. I threw you away if I wasn't satisfied."
Ming Gui had never seen such an unreasonable person. Looking at Qi Mingchen, whose eyes were clear and not at all like a drunk person, he said helplessly:
[This ring can store spiritual power, and I can also help you explain some knowledge you don't understand. 】
Qi Mingchen's heart skipped a beat. Putting aside the subsequent benefits, the place where spiritual power was stored really made him excited.
If you store the energy in the ring when you are not using it, and then wait for it to recover, and when you use it, you can exert stronger energy, whether it is attacking or repairing elixirs, it is an excellent method!
This time, he was even more vigilant.
What exactly is there in him that makes this underworld ghost pay so many benefits, and why does he still want to stay?
"The last condition..." He held out a finger.
The ghost couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly:
[Aren’t these enough? What else do you want to ask for? 】
"This is necessary. If you don't agree to this, I won't accept any benefits."
These words made the other party calm down and asked:
[What conditions? 】
"Make a contract with me and swear by the law of heaven that you will never do anything that is not good for me."
【……】
The ghost fell silent.
After a long time, it said:
[I can promise that I will not hurt you, but I am not sure whether what I do will affect you. 】
Qi Mingchen felt a lot of information from it.
Sure enough, Ghost had his own plans and purposes for following him. He even suspected that those clones needed to be operated by Ghost himself.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you swear to Heaven, you will not hurt me regardless of your own will, and I will promise you to stay."
For this space ring that can store spiritual power and grow, it is worth taking the risk.
