Chapter 499 - 247: Jiang Miaoyin (Part 2)
"This is quite similar to what I knew about ’Feng Shui’ in my previous life, but this place and Blue Star are vastly different, making those Feng Shui theories inapplicable here."
"To find these special locations, you either need a profession with related skills or use some special artifacts."
Chu Xiu naturally had neither, but his Thousand Souls Banner housed many powerful ghosts. Recently, after refining Vengeance’s gift, he had restored the Ghostly Legion to a quarter of its previous size.
He originally planned to rely on the characteristics of ghosts to find these special locations.
However, this method ultimately still involved a carpet search, which wasn’t particularly efficient.
With a slight contemplation, Chu Xiu said, "There’s no need for you to worry about this; let’s get to the point sooner."
Facing Chu Xiu’s cold response, Jiang Miaoyin didn’t mind and covered her mouth with a soft laugh, "An elder in my family gave me a compass artifact capable of detecting Yin Qi. It’s a King Tier with perfect level, costing over seven billion when purchased. If you don’t mind, I’d give it to you as a gift."
Saying this, Jiang Miaoyin flipped her wrist, and a compass engraved with mysterious inscriptions appeared in her palm.
This scene made Chu Xiu reveal a thoughtful expression, and after a while, a smile actually curled up on his lips.
This girl is very clever.
The subtext of her gifting the artifact was obvious. It showed that even though she had prepared high-tier artifacts in advance, she could give them away at will, indicating she had better channels to find ghosts!
And she utilized this point to entice Chu Xiu into cooperation!
One must admit, this tactic indeed piqued Chu Xiu’s curiosity. Although King Tier Perfect isn’t extremely high, it is rare for such an artifact to specifically detect Yin Qi. You couldn’t find a detection effect better than this on the market, not even those Heroic Spirits, who might not have better means.
With a light laugh, Chu Xiu raised his hand and moved the compass into his storage space, saying, "Tell me your plan."
"Considering the compass and your elder, as long as it’s not too excessive, I’ll lend a hand."
"Thank you, senior." Jiang Miaoyin saluted gracefully again.
She didn’t waste time and started explaining her plan directly.
"Senior should know this place is one of the earth surface strongholds of the Exorcist Civilization."
"The Exorcist Civilization used this location’s energy-gathering device to convert Yin Qi into energy, then continuously transported it to various underground cities."
"Unfortunately, after being swallowed by the Abyss, over thousands of years of evolution, the original roads have become unrecognizable."
"However, fortunately, during the initial trial, the students in the awakening trials discovered three maps. Although they’re from two thousand years ago, they should still have considerable reference value."
"With these maps, the difficulty of finding other cities of the Exorcist Civilization can be greatly reduced."
"And since the Exorcist Civilization lives off banishing spirits, they naturally know where the Yin Qi converges. Their records mention the Nine Great Sacred Lands and eighty-two Blessed Lands; as long as we search these big cities, we might find related clues."
Jiang Miaoyin’s words made Chu Xiu’s eyes light up; indeed, this is a good method.
Even if they can’t find where the Yin Qi converges, they might find other good things in the cities of the Exorcist Civilization.
"What about the maps?" he asked.
"Of the three maps, two were taken by the Heroic Spirit seniors, but one, well... it was obtained by a King Tier exploration team," Jiang Miaoyin said with a smile.
Chu Xiu also understood her meaning; Heroic Spirits weren’t to be trifled with, but ordinary King Tiers, well, sorry, the Abyss is just that cruel.
"Where are they now?" Chu Xiu asked without hesitation.
Seeing him agree, Jiang Miaoyin exhaled lightly and said, "Please rest assured, senior, as earlier, I have marked the four with special Curse Spirits."
"However, we must act quickly; those four have been gone for half a day, and my Curse Spirit, to maintain concealment, only has up to a day’s effectiveness."
Chu Xiu nodded, "Lead the way, I’ll agree to send you to a big city, after which we’ll part ways."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaoyin wasted no time, performing a hand seal, and instantly a crimson Curse Spirit appeared in front to lead the way.
"Senior, the original roads of the Exorcist Civilization have long collapsed and blocked, but I found a usable passage. Though it detours a bit..."
"Too slow."
Before finishing her words, Chu Xiu suddenly grabbed Jiang Miaoyin’s slender waist, and amid her exclamation, his wings unfolded, and Garuda’s Wings instantly burst forth brilliantly, propelling them underground!
"Swoosh!"
The dazzling gold light crashed against the earth’s rock, just like a sharp sword piercing tofu. The hard rock was cut without resistance, and Chu Xiu took Jiang Miaoyin and forcibly broke into the underground!
In front of Garuda’s Wings, all rocks crumbled to dust. Moreover, its powerful power allowed even supersonic flight while cutting through the soil!
More terrifyingly, it also had powerful space skills, capable of warping through space to avoid hard metal ores!
Garuda, with strength far surpassing King Tier, approaching the level of Heroic Spirits, had equipment whose attributes were among the top in King Tier legends!
This domineering power made Jiang Miaoyin’s beautiful eyes sparkle with admiration, her peach blossom eyes full of worship.
