Chapter 4257 Not Going Back Now

Published Mar 16, 2026, 06:08 PM

"Oh? A ghost cultivator?" It was Lin Yi's first time hearing that word. He couldn't help but ask,"Senior ghost, what exactly is a ghost cultivator ..." "He is one of the evil cultivators among you human cultivators. Didn't you come here to kill Wu Bao Liang? This guy should be a heretic practitioner, but he used the blood of a Virgin to cultivate, while the one in front of us used the primordial spirit of a spirit beast to cultivate!" The ghastly thing's tone carried a cold killing intent. In any case, it was still an elder of the spirit beast clan. The existence of any ghost cultivator meant that a large number of spirit beasts would inevitably fall into its hands. Not to mention, it would not even let go of their primordial spirits, so they would not die in peace. The demonic thing was not a person who abhorred evil. If it was just a normal fight between humans and spirit beasts, or between spirit beasts, it would not even bother to care. This was because the law of the jungle had existed since ancient times. Even if they died, it could only be said that they were not as good as the humans. There was nothing to blame. However, ghost cultivators were different. The very existence of such a person was already against the laws of heaven. Even if the heavens could tolerate him, the ghost would be the first to not let him off. "I understand. But why did Chu bubai make up such a reason? Could he be a ghost cultivator?" Lin Yi communicated with the ghostly thing while looking at Chu bubai. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 "I don't know. He didn't show his true strength. Maybe he's pretending to know, or maybe he knows but is hiding it for some reason. Anyway, you should be careful." The ghastly thing laughed. "Yes, I know." Lin Yi nodded to himself. He'd always felt that Chu bubai was a man with evil intentions, and now that this thing had reminded him, that feeling became even stronger. As the saying goes, those who are unaccountably solicitous are either evil or thieves. In fact, putting aside all these strange things, just the fact that Chu bubai suddenly shared the news of the baby ginseng with outsiders who had nothing to do with him was already a very problematic matter. Even if it was really as Chu bubai said, that he needed more people to help him find the baby ginseng, after all, the fertile water should not flow into others 'fields. Why should he give up such a great opportunity to outsiders who he had no relationship with and not find his own family and friends? his social relations couldn't be so poor that he couldn't even gather a few people, right? In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the reason why Guo dengtao, Wang Feng, and the others had taken the bait was not only because of Chu bubai's ability to deceive people, but also because they were obsessed with the situation. They had been blinded by the Super temptation of the infant ginseng. However, Lin Yi had always been able to control his mental state well and was able to observe coldly from the side. This was why he was able to see all the strange things about Chu bubai. "Senior ghost, have you been in closed-door cultivation?" Lin Yi asked. Strictly speaking, they were in the southern part of the island, just at the very edge. Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder if this thing wanted to go back to the spirit beast clan to take a look after "waking" up. "Closed-door training? You can put it that way. " The demonic thing smiled nonchalantly-it probably wasn't the traditional sort of training, but with Lin Yi's level, he wouldn't be able to explain it in one or two sentences. "So this is the southern island, then you ..." Lin Yi couldn't help but ask. "What's wrong? You're in such a hurry to drive me away?" The ghastly thing asked back with a teasing tone. "No... How is that possible ..." Lin Yi blushed. As the saying goes, having an old man in the house is like having a treasure, not to mention a God like this thing. He would be happy if this person was willing to stay in his Jade. How could he kick her out? "Then that's it." The ghostly thing was clearly just a primordial spirit, but it made a sound of twitching lips. "I just wanted to ask if senior ghost would like to take this opportunity to go home and visit ..." Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. According to what the ghost said, who knew how many years had passed since he came to the secular world? it was rare for him to come to the southern island, so he couldn't just pass by the door and not enter. "What's the point of going back to see me in this ghostly state? Kid, just remember this: no one in the spirit beast clan is a good person. If those old guys find out, I won't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!" The ghastly thing said in a self-deprecating manner. "Ugh ..." Lin Yi was speechless. He just remembered that the spirit beast clan followed the law of the jungle more than human practitioners. Even if a human had such thoughts, they would at least pretend to be hypocritical. However, if it was a spirit beast, once it saw that the ghost was so weak, it would probably attack without a second thought, regardless of whether the ghost was an elder or not. To the ghost, the southern island was not a warm home, but a real Dragon's pool and Tiger's Den. Zhang Liju's example was still fresh in her mind-it didn't matter if you were a Big Shot or not, losing your strength meant losing your status. "Little brat, you don't have to think too much about it. I'm definitely going back to the spirit beast clan, but not now. As for how long I have to wait, that will depend on when you can help me. Let's quickly improve our strength first. If we can really get the infant ginseng, it's a good opportunity." The demonic thing laughed. "Alright, I got it." Lin Yi nodded silently. When he first came to Sky Class Island, the ghost asked him to help, but now that he was an early golden core, he still wasn't strong enough. It was clear that this help wasn't that easy-he had to work hard. He'd communicated so much with this thing, but only a short moment had passed in the outside world-it wasn't even enough to be considered a shock. Everyone was still thinking back to Chu bubai's explanation, so naturally, they didn't notice Lin Yi's expression. Only Huang xiaotao, who was in his arms, felt a slight difference. "What's wrong?" Huang xiaotao blinked and looked up at him. Chu bubai and the others heard the noise and thought that Lin Yi had found something unusual. They couldn't help but turn their heads and focus on him with surprise. "Oh, it's nothing. After hearing brother Chu's explanation, I thought of the ghosts in the eyes of ordinary people and felt a little emotional." Lin Yi smiled, his face unchanged. "Hehe, the world is so ignorant. Many people who think they are smart think that the talk of ghosts and monsters is just a rumor. They don't know that there is no wind without a hole. These legends exist because they are true." Chu bubai smiled faintly. These wise words, coupled with his refined and elegant appearance, made everyone look at Chu bubai with even more admiration. (To be continued.)
