I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 138 The Land of Unparalleled Spirits
Monk?

Fortunately, she found other cultivators before her shape-shifting technique failed. If she had used her true appearance, she probably wouldn't have been able to exchange any information even if she had gone there. Suddenly seeing a strange Jindan cultivator would have made people more alert.

But she couldn't fly the sword now, nor could she use the shuttle boat. She could only give a few instructions to the sword and then move forward.

By the time she ran to the place Jianlai mentioned, it was almost dark.

After confirming that Jianlai had not been discovered by the other party, Ruan Xing praised Jianlai and asked him to continue exploring in other directions. He pretended to be cool and walked on the street with a swagger.

Her consciousness spread out randomly, and within a few minutes, she found the monk. Then her eyes became stern, and she shouted in a cold voice: "Who's there!"

An old man in a gray robe helplessly stuck his head out from behind the half-collapsed wall and said, "Don't get excited, fellow disciple."

Ruan Xing looked carefully and found that it was Elder Wen.

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that if it was people from the other two sects, she would have to be wary of her own personal safety. After all, those people thought they had entered a secret realm and were trying hard to find the core of the secret realm and compete with other sects.

Only Ruan Xing himself knew that this was a very dangerous place, which was considered by Immortal Lord Guangyou.

It was Elder Wen, and she felt much relieved. There was no competition between them, and they had met each other twice. Elder Wen had also helped her out of kindness, so he didn't seem like a bad person.

She put away her sword and walked over. "So it's you. How are you? Have you found any clues about the core of the secret realm?"

Elder Wen shook his head in amusement, "Do you still think this is a secret place? In the past, I have been to any secret place. Even if there are no rare treasures in it, there must be a lot of monsters and spiritual herbs. What is in it?"

Elder Wen seemed to know something, so Ruan Xing followed Elder Wen's words and asked in confusion, "Didn't the sect send us here to explore the secret realm? If this isn't a secret realm, what else could it be?"

"This... is a place without any spirits." Elder Wen said slowly.

Ruan Xing naturally knew about the Land of Absolute Spirits, but she only knew a few words about it. Now that she had met Elder Wen, she wanted to ask him what the Land of Absolute Spirits was.

"You seem to know a lot about the Land of Absolute Souls." Ruan Xing said, "Why don't you tell me about it?"

Elder Wen looked at Ruan Xing gently, as if he was looking at another person through her face.

After a while, he said, "I don't really know it, but I've heard a few words about it before. Now that we're here, I'll tell you about it."

"The Land of Absolute Souls is a place left over from ancient legends. It is said that it is a place abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, so spiritual power, magic, and magical instruments cannot be used in the Land of Absolute Souls, and no living creature can grow or survive here. It will slowly take away the most important things for life, just like fish without water and birds without wind. Of course, there are several versions of legends. There are also rumors that the Land of Absolute Souls is where immortals in the sky fought in ancient times, making a hole in the sky, and the sky fell down and broke into pieces and scattered everywhere, becoming the Land of Absolute Souls. Since ancient times, few people have been able to get out of the Land of Absolute Souls alive, so I only thought it was a rumor before, but I didn't expect that one day I would really come to such a place."

After listening to this, Ruan Xing fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that there were several versions of this land of absolute spirituality, and he didn't know which one was the real one.

But this is not important. Since Immortal Guangyou left the key for Qintai's family to collect Qintai Gu's body, there must be a way to get out of this place. It's just that she doesn't know whether the way out is to use the key or hide it in the inheritance of the Immortal. Although she is not in a hurry, she still has to pretend to be solemn in front of Elder Wen. The old man must not have finished what he said.

She frowned and said to Elder Wen, "Since no one has ever been able to get out, who spread these rumors? Moreover, if we can't get out, won't we all die here? Elder, you don't look worried at all."

"Of course I'm not worried." Elder Wen stroked his white beard and raised his eyebrows. "I don't have many years left to live, so it doesn't matter where I am. But you, you've only cultivated to the Golden Core for a few years, and you're wasting the rest of your life here. You're really unlucky."

"We are all from the same sect. Why don't we try to overcome the difficulties together? Why do we say such discouraging words?" Ruan Xing was furious. He pointed at Elder Wen and said, "How can someone like you achieve the Great Dao? No wonder the sect wants to throw you to Nanzhou to fend for yourself."

"Heh." Elder Wen smiled, then turned serious, "Your mother is my junior sister, your master is my senior sister, you should call me uncle, instead of pointing at my nose and scolding me."

Yeah, I took the bait.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Ruan Xing's lips.

She knew that this old man had an unusual relationship with Qinghong Zhenjun, otherwise how could he let Qinghong Zhenjun take care of her with just a piece of bamboo leaf? Although Qinghong Zhenjun did not really do this because of the fortune-telling, it was Qinghong Zhenjun's own breach of trust, and it had nothing to do with the old man.

And it is undeniable that Elder Wen lived a long life and was even once an elite disciple of the Xuanbing Sect. He must have seen much more than her.

"I haven't heard the master mention your uncle." Ruan Xing spoke to him with a cold face.

A trace of desolation flashed across Elder Wen's face, but it quickly disappeared. He snorted, "Do you still want to continue listening?"

After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Xing called out reluctantly, "Uncle Master."

Elder Wen smiled with satisfaction, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twisted into ripples. "If you want to leave this soulless place, you must forget that you are a cultivator and regard yourself as a mortal, or another species. This is what I heard my master say before."

Ruan Xing pondered Elder Wen's words and suddenly felt something was wrong. He said, "This shouldn't be the case. Before I met you, I saw two mortals. One was already dead and turned into bones, and the other was a 30-year-old woman before she came in. After just nine days, she became an 80-year-old woman. Mortals can't survive in this place."

"I don't know about that." Elder Wen said, "What I just told you was my master's original words. I haven't figured it out myself, but I don't care whether I can get out or not. You can figure it out slowly."

Ruan Xing was a little uncomfortable with Elder Wen's calm and composed look.

Humph, if I gave you a longevity pill now, you would definitely be scratching your head and wondering what your master meant by this, right?

Unfortunately, although Ruan Xing's alchemy skills have reached the fifth level and she is able to refine the elixir of longevity, she does not have the recipe for the elixir, so she is powerless without the necessary ingredients.
