Chapter 183 The Remnant Soul Song Yin Exploits Money Again

"Is Yinyin alright? How are you feeling? Are you tired? Have some warm water first."

"It's good that you're back. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to come back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Song Yin was surrounded by several people, and Qin Muyan said from the side, "You're really popular."

Everyone first showed concern for Song Yin, and then realized that no one had greeted the ancestor.

Lou Shuhe was the first to react: "Lou Shuhe, a disciple of Danque Peak, greets the Ancestor."

"Disciple greets the Ancestral Master."

Qin Muyan is not only the founder of Danque Peak, but also the founder of the entire Xianxiao Sect.

Judging from their attitude, Song Yin was very important to them. Qin Muyan wasn't one to fuss over small things, so he said, "No need for formalities."

He glanced around and immediately discerned the cultivation levels of the people present. Surprisingly, Lou Shuhe was at the same cultivation level as him, both being at the Mahayana stage.

Qin Muyan bypassed Lou Shuhe, who had the highest cultivation level, and finally chose Qi Zibo. "Are you Song Yin's master?" The current Qi Zibo is much younger, but you can still see the shadow of the previous one.

Qi Zibo was flattered that the patriarch had called on him to speak first. He immediately replied, "This disciple is indeed Master Song Yin."

Qin Muyan reached out and gently patted Qi Zibo on the shoulder twice, saying, "Being Song Yin's master must have been hard work."

Song Yin: Stare—

Feeling the intense gazes, Qin Muyan ignored them: "This place used to be a battlefield. Let's talk about it when we get back. Tell me about the Xuan Tian Realm and the Xian Xiao Sect on the way."

Song Yin looked away. Fortunately, this patriarch hadn't revealed what he had done, otherwise her master would have used this incident to lecture her again.

The group remained strangely silent, making no move.

Qin Muyan was puzzled.

Song Yin: "Master, this place is now called the Ancient Battlefield. Many sects have come here, and a new large spiritual vein has appeared. Right now, the only two problems are that we need to find the spiritual vein and that we can't get out."

When the topic came up, Song Yin got off to a good start, and the others followed suit, sharing their thoughts on the current state of the ancient battlefield. Then, an hour or two passed, and Qin Muyan had a general understanding.

Qin Muyan: "Time is chaotic, the remnant soul is affected, and we can't get out... Is the Immortal Firmament Sect really in need of this spiritual vein right now?"

Song Yin: "What we lacked before is now a bonus. We have already brought a large spiritual vein back to our sect."

Qi Zibo proudly said, "Yinyin and the others took away the spiritual vein right under the noses of the experts from various sects." Since meeting his master, he had learned a lot about the outside world.

“You can never have too many spiritual veins. Let’s find them first before we take you out,” Qin Muyan explained. “You don’t know this place well, but I do. Those remnant souls… are basically my comrades-in-arms from the past. This lotus pond is also the place I chose to go to in the past. Now, everything has changed.”

Moved by the scene? Song Yin interrupted the patriarch's reminiscence of the past, "Patriarch, you're in a state where you could ascend at any moment, aren't you?"

Qin Muyan: "That's right, but you're also in a state where you can break through your cultivation level at any time, aren't you?"

Song Yin said to Shi Heming and the others, "We may encounter some opportunities in the ancient time and space, and we may have to skip many levels in a row."

How come some people level up as easily as drinking water?

Qin Mu said: "Avoid arrogance and impatience. Improvement in cultivation is a good thing, but you must not become proud or complacent because of it. You must know..."

Qin Muyan kept talking, and Song Yin listened intently until her eyes lost their light. Hua Rong was absolutely right; the patriarch talked so much.

After saying a lot in one breath, Qin Muyan felt her mouth was a little dry, so she stopped and said, "I will take you away from the lotus pond."

Congratulations! The ancestor has finally calmed down!

As the founder of the Immortal Cloud Sect, Qin Muyan walked at the front, followed by Song Yin and the others.

Qi Zibo deliberately lagged behind a few steps and asked Song Yin telepathically, "Has the Patriarch always been like this?" He used to be proud of the Patriarch and constantly compared himself to Xin Huailiang in this matter. Knowing that the Patriarch had not actually ascended to immortality, he was heartbroken for a long time.

Now he has changed his mind. His illusions about the patriarch have been shattered, and he has only one thought left: never bring up topics that the patriarch is interested in, and never make the patriarch interested in talking.

Song Yin was listening to Shi Heming's telepathic message. Ever since she returned, Shi Heming had been holding her hand and hadn't let go. Now that Qi Zibo was also making the telepathic message, with two voices, she had no choice but to answer her master's question first.

Song Yin transmitted her voice to Qi Zibo: "Master, you guessed right."

Song Yin then transmitted her voice to Shi Heming: "There was no danger at all. On the contrary, I met the Nine Heavens Dao Lord who had not ascended in the ancient time and space. He taught me a lot about the power of the Great Dao Laws. I will share it with you later."

Song Yin and the others were so brazen in transmitting their voices that they were certain the two Mahayana stage cultivators present wouldn't eavesdrop.

Little did they know that Lou Shuhe was not listening, but Qin Muyan, who was walking at the front, heard everything.

The Nine Heavens Dao Lord who hasn't ascended yet... which means Song Yin has met cultivators who have ascended. Her luck is just too good! Such a person with great fortune is his successor on Danque Peak. Thinking about it is both comforting and worrying, after all, Song Yin is sometimes too impulsive.

Led by Qin Muyan, the group passed through different doors and went through several teleportations before finally returning to where they had entered.

The sky turned dark red again, this time not pitch black, and many remnant souls still tried to rush over.

Qin Muyan stared at the hordes of remnant souls, his throat suddenly becoming hoarse. He saw that some of these remnant souls were dressed in their former sect attire, some wore family tokens, and some were old acquaintances he had met many times before.

Lou Shuhe's palm faced upwards, and a Bagua plate appeared: "First, clear away those who are irrational, and send those who are rational into the cycle of reincarnation."

Song Yin and Wen Zhiling drew their swords, Shi Heming took out the Nine Heavens Talisman Brush, and Qi Zibo looked around.

He could understand Song Yin drawing her sword, but Qi Zibo asked Lou Shuhe, "Master, why do you have the Bagua compass that divination practitioners often use?"

Song Yin said quietly, "Have you ever thought that your master was also a divination practitioner?"

Qi Zibo: "Huh? Why don't you listen to what you're saying?"

Qin Muyan was pulled back to his senses. "You both cultivate two paths? That's right, just like me."

Qi Zibo turned his head, "Huh??"

The patriarch cultivated two paths, his master cultivated two paths, his disciple also cultivated two paths, but he alone only cultivated the Dao of Alchemy.

Song Yin: "Master, what else did you cultivate?"

"Sword." How could a cultivator who could single-handedly kill a commander be weak in combat? Qin Muyan said, "Don't move for now. There are people I know among the remnant souls. I need to communicate with them."

"yes."

Qi Zibo was bewildered in the wind; he had become the most unique person on Danque Peak.

Seemingly sensing Qi Zibo's thoughts, Wen Zhiling comforted him: "Yinyin has taken on a disciple, and that disciple, like you, only cultivates alchemy."

"Master, if Xiaotang wants to learn swordsmanship, I'll teach her too," Song Yin said with a grin.

Qi Zibo: "You unfilial disciple, all you know is how to anger your teacher."

Song Yin turned around, pretending not to hear.

As the group joked around, Qin Muyan stepped forward and recited a calming mantra to soothe them.

Song Yin and the others discovered that Qin Muyan could calm the remnant souls without chanting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra. Whichever direction he walked in, the remnant souls in that direction would quiet down, their empty gazes fixed on Qin Muyan.

Qin Muyan walked up to the remnant soul of a female cultivator who looked like a vengeful ghost in red.

"Mei Xunzhen, do you still remember me?"

The remnant soul named Mei Xunzhen stared at Qin Muyan, remained silent for a moment, and then, as if her consciousness had returned, she slowly spoke: "Qin, Mu, Yan, Qin, Dao, You."

"It's me. Thankfully, you still have some consciousness left."

Mei Xunzhen was once a powerful female cultivator. She always rushed to the front in any battle, and fought like her life depended on it in the final battle. Back then, her cultivation was at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage. I, who was also at the Tribulation Transcending stage at that time, often encountered Mei Xunzhen.

He thought Mei Xunzhen, a powerful cultivator, would ascend smoothly, but alas...

Qin Muyan asked the crucial question: "Why don't your souls enter the cycle of reincarnation? Is there any lingering attachment?"

Mei Xunzhen triggered the crucial moment: "No! You can't enter the cycle of reincarnation! I'll guard the entrance and wait for you to come back."

Qin Muyan was stunned, his heart skipped a beat, "What did you say?" Only a few people knew about his decision to leave back then, and Mei Xunzhen happened to be one of them, but she didn't know that she still cared about it.

Mei Xunzhen's remnant soul said earnestly, "We died in our hometown, but you did not. We will wait for you to come back."

Both are Xuan Tian Realm, but the past timeline does not belong to Qin Muyan's Xuan Tian Realm, nor is it his true homeland.

Qin Muyan: "Why are you preventing living people from leaving?"

Mei Xunzhen: "Save people, save you."

So the reason why living people can't get out of the ancient battlefield is because of these remnant souls.

Mei Xunzhen's words were simple, yet they struck a chord with everyone. Not only Qin Muyan, but also Song Yin and the others behind him felt uneasy after hearing them.

Mei Xunzhen's remnant soul suddenly revealed a smile, "It's good that you're back. Everyone can finally rest easy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Xunzhen's obsession ended, and her lingering soul began to dissipate.

Mei Xunzhen's obsession was simple: like the other cultivators who knew the truth and died, he wanted Qin Muyan to return. This was because Qin Muyan had sacrificed the most back then, stepping into the past with the belief that he was doomed and would never return.

Everyone can ascend to heaven or return to their roots, but Qin Muyan cannot.

Therefore, those knowledgeable cultivators who were friendly to Qin Muyan left their souls on this battlefield after their deaths. They saw Qin Muyan off and also wanted to bring him back.

There were also some remnant souls with lower cultivation levels who were unaware of the truth. They didn't know about Qin Muyan's affairs, but they would stay behind with the souls of the higher-level cultivators. Souls without obsessions entered reincarnation early and have been reincarnated countless times, while those with obsessions remained in the world, their consciousness gradually becoming chaotic.

Mei Xunzhen's obsession vanished quickly, so quickly that Qin Muyan didn't even have time to say thank you.

Qin Muyan still spoke softly, "Thank you."

A remnant soul that has lingered in this world for tens of thousands of years has such a simple obsession.

“Although this scene is very touching, could you please have these remnant souls guide us to the spiritual vein?” Song Yin asked from behind. “Of course, we won’t ask these seniors for help for nothing. We will do our best to help those with other obsessions to resolve them.”

She finally understood: without the Ancestral Master, these souls would become enemies; with the Ancestral Master, they could become allies. She temporarily designated the Ancestral Master as the unwavering hope of these remnant souls; with the Ancestral Master's intervention, she believed these souls could play their greatest role.

Song Yin transforms into an evil cat and doesn't forget to fleece people even when she arrives at the ancient battlefield.

Song Yin: "Since we're already here, why not take a spiritual vein back with us?"

Her voice was seductive, "Think about it, other sects either don't have a single spiritual vein or only have one. If we bring back another spiritual vein this time, even the major sects like the Immortal Cloud Sect, which already possess two spiritual veins, wouldn't dare to imagine that they would develop to that extent in the future!"

Lou Shuhe was surprised. "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Shi Heming chimed in, “Yinyin is right. The Immortal Cloud Sect was founded by you and several other patriarchs. If you help the Immortal Cloud Sect to develop further, you will surely have a lot of face to talk about when you ascend to the Immortal Realm and meet the other patriarchs.”

Qin Muyan's fingertips twitched slightly; what these young people were saying seemed to make some sense.

He knew all too well what the Immortal Cloud Sect meant to him. He had personally founded the Immortal Cloud Sect, which was like his child. As a parent, he naturally wanted his child to develop better and better.

Qi Zibo transmitted his voice to Shi Heming: "How could you join in the traitor's nonsense!" He didn't even consider the occasion and atmosphere. Just now, the patriarch was clearly reminiscing about old friends, but the traitor's shout shattered the somber mood.

A group of respectable seniors were instantly turned into laborers in the eyes of the traitor, who even in death did not forget to exploit them.

Qi Zibo spoke up for his rebellious disciple, fearing that the patriarch would be angry and punish him: "Patriarch, please don't be angry, I'll punish Song Yin later—"

Qin Muyan: "That makes sense, I'll take it."

Qi Zibo: "Huh?"

Qin Muyan praised Song Yin, saying, "You're really quick-witted."

Song Yin humbly replied, "It's all for the sect."

Author's Note: Song Yin: Everything for the sect [sunglasses]

Qin Muyan was moved: Good child! The Ancestor misunderstood you before!

Qi Zibo: ? ? ?
