”Sect Head Du?” A sudden but uncertain voice interrupted Du Shiqing's train of thoughts.
Du Shiqing turned to see a shop assistant donned in a certain merchant house’s uniform. He was not acquainted with this shop assistant.
”You called me?” Du Shiqing stared doubtfully at the shop assistant.
The shop assistant’s mouth widened into a grin, ”So it really is senior. Someone got me to pass this letter to Senior Du.”
With that, the shop assistant respectfully stuffed the letter into Du Shiqing’s hands.
Du Shiqing subconsciously accepted the letter and asked, ”You sent this?”
”This I do not know. I’m just the runner.” With that, the assistant turned and left; soon, he had disappeared.
Du Shiqing looked at the mysterious letter and opened it. At the very next instant, he was pleasantly surprised, ”Senior Du, junior is Rogue Cultivator 2705. Because junior had offended another party, I dare not head towards Yan City, which was why I had someone pass this letter to senior. I wish to meet with senior, and ask Senior Du for advice. If Senior Du is willing to meet junior, please go to the Yin Tomb Beach, junior will be there waiting. If Senior Du is not willing to meet junior, please ignore this letter. If junior does not see senior, I will leave. Rogue Cultivator, Xinghe!”
In Yan City, there were few cultivators who did not know the Yin Tomb Beach.
The Yin Tomb Beach was 500 to 1,000 kilometers away from Yan City. Legends said that it was a battleground of the ancient cultivators. It was said that an Yin cultivator, who was close to ascending, was undergoing closed doors cultivation. However, a cultivator war took place, causing this Yin cultivator to fail in a critical moment of his cultivation, bringing his spirit channels into disorder and corrupting his cultivation.
On that very day, the Yin cultivator rampaged with anger, and before he died, he suddenly exploded, slaughtering all the cultivators who were battling there. Ultimately, his body, which was made of Yin energy, descended on that very land.
After the Yin cultivator fell, the land became enfolded with Yin energy, and even Yin Beads were condensed.
As time passed, the place became an Yin-filled beach. Because there was no spiritual energy, and the high possibility of experiencing cultivation corruption here, few cultivators were willing to visit this place over the countless of years. At the very most, they would only pass by this place. Even the purest of Yin cultivators would not cultivate here. No matter how rich the Yin energy was, it would still be useless without spiritual energy.
Thus, the Yin Tomb Beach came to be a place which was known by all, but visited by none.
Du Shiqing was currently searching for Rogue Cultivator 2705. Rogue Cultivator 2705 had exchanged for his Tian Ji Sect’s Immortal Mortal Technique, which was a matter that would affect the Tian Ji Sect’s future. How could he not be worried? Now that the other party took the initiative to look for him, Du Shiqing did not hesitate to rush over.
However, as Du Shiqing was walking by the Yan City entrance, he paused and passed the letter to the city guard, requesting the guard to help him pass the letter to the Tian Ji Sect during a change in shifts.
…
A few hours later, Du Shiqing appeared in the periphery of the Yin Tomb Beach.
It was exactly as the legends said. Even at the periphery, Du Shiqing could feel the rich and cold Yin energy. Over in the distance, there were even condensed clouds of Yin energy.
The Tian Ji Sect cultivates Yang techniques. However, Du Shiqing’s cultivation was limited, so he could not help but stimulate his spirits.
The entire area was empty and devoid of life. This induced some doubts within Du Shiqing; since that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had called him out, 2705 should already be here waiting for him.
As Du Shiqing was still confused over the bleakness of the place, a soil tomb slightly far from him exploded open. A hoarse voice sounded over, ”Sect Head Du really came.”
Following the voice, a short figure jumped out from the soil, landing a few meters away from Du Shiqing.
When Du Shiqing saw this tiny figure, a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes. Soon, Du Shiqing concealed this trace of disappointment; it didn’t matter what Rogue Cultivator 2705 looked like, he had spent more than ten thousand contribution points to purchase the Immortal Mortal Technique, so he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.
As the exalted Du Shiqing, how could he judge others based on looks?
However, when Du Shiqing clearly saw what the other party looked like, his heart skipped a beat and he finally made sense of the situation, ”You’re not Rogue Cultivator 2705…”
He had seen a portrait of 2705 before, 2705 was a pale faced scholar. However, this person was clearly not a scholar, and he was incredibly strong.
”Ha ha…” That short cultivator chortled, ”Sect Head Du is indeed wise. I’m indeed not Rogue Cultivator 2705, the reason why I invited Sect Head Du here is to seek your advice on something.”
Feeling that the other party’s cultivation was even higher than his, Du Shiqing’s eyes revealed an imposing expression, ”Sir, please speak.”
The short cultivator said indifferently, ”The Tian Ji Sect does not have any outstanding talent, but yet it was able to climb the Hundred Sect Alliance’s contribution points ranking, charging into the top 100, even into the top 50. Ostensibly, the Tian Ji Sect’s Dao is deep and vast. However, after some investigation, something from the Tian Ji Sect must have been exchanged away using a large amounts of contribution points. There are only a few people who could use so many contribution points to exchange for Tian Ji Sect’s thing. Now, with a mention of 2705, Sect Head Du had arrived. It looks like my guess was right. The one who gave Tian Ji Sect the contribution points should be 2705, right?”
”Apologies, I’m not privy of this matter.” Du Shiqing replied calmly.
