Chapter 217 Return to Fangshi
"City Lord, are you okay?"

Ever since Fang Chen took the ghost cultivator who claimed to be his soul into the ghost den, the expression on his face has not been fixed for a while, as if it changes color, and it is different every time you look at it. Ye Qingyang also stepped forward to express his concern.

"No problem, I just saw some memories that shocked me."

Fang Chen shook his head and said this, but his face was still gloomy.

There was no way. First, his soul was certified by the tree spirit, but after entering the ghost realm, his memory was absorbed.

That was not a big deal. After all, he remembered that when he first received the memories of the soul in the Yin Ling space, he did see a small part of the memory of the spiritual clone.

This is also why it is concluded that the spiritual clone has some relationship with Li Ji.

Maybe even if those two souls are actually myself, they are still somewhat different from my original body.

The Yin Ling space only recognizes the initial life soul, and treats the earth soul and the sky soul in the same way as other souls, which makes sense.

The most crucial issue is the content of this soul's memory.

There is not much in the memory of the spiritual clone. It may be related to the fact that Li Ji's soul was directly erased by Fang Chen's spiritual power.

This soul is different, its memory is very complete.

After checking these memories, Fang Chen immediately determined that the owner of these memories belonged to the original owner.

Moreover, there are some points that confirm the memories he received when he just crossed over, but there are also some points that conflict with each other.

The most important thing is the cause of death of the original owner.

Before, Fang Chen always thought that the original owner cried all night after receiving the death warning from his parents, which led to excessive grief and death.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Chen came over.

However, according to the memories of this soul, the situation was completely different.

Upon learning the news of his parents' death, the original owner, who had just returned from taking care of the spiritual field, immediately rushed to the Lianyun Mountains, and was attacked by an unknown force right where he was standing.

Then the memory in the soul ends there.

However, this information is enough for Fang Chen to figure out the truth.

The attack caused the original owner's soul to remain in the location, but his body was intact.

Moreover, the people who attacked the original owner obviously knew where he lived and sent his body back.

The other party did this obviously because he knew that another soul would descend into this body, which is the current Fang Chen.

"So that's how it is. That makes sense. That makes sense..."

After learning about this memory, Fang Chen's doubts were resolved.

In fact, he had suspected long before that the original owner did not die from excessive grief.

The proof lies in his received memory.

Based on past experiences, we can infer the original owner's character. After learning of his parents' death, his first reaction would definitely not be to cry all night.

Rushing to the Lianyun Mountains as soon as possible was actually in line with the original owner's temperament.

"City Lord, shall we continue to explore other places in the Lianyun Mountains?"

Seeing Fang Chen still in deep thought, Ye Qingyang couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course, but there is no need to look for my parents' souls anymore. I just want to replenish some souls in the ghost realm."

Fang Chen also broke away from his own world and responded. "Oh? Could it be that the soul we just found is related to your parents?"

After hearing him say that there was no need to look for his parents' souls anymore, Ye Qingyang immediately thought of what had just happened.

"Well, some things involve privacy, so I can't explain them in detail."

Fang Chen nodded, then met Ye Qingyang's curious gaze and indicated that he would not discuss this topic in detail.

"I see. Let's continue collecting souls then."

Ye Qingyang immediately put away his curiosity and talked about another important matter.

This is also related to him. The more souls he collects in the Lianyun Mountains, the higher level he can reach through soul gathering.

Compared to Fang Chen's personal affairs, this point obviously attracted him more.

Fang Chen didn't waste any words and continued to lead the way.

The memories of the souls he had received earlier also showed him a more detailed route, ensuring that he would not get lost in the mountains.

In this way, the two wandered in the Lianyun Mountains for two days and collected a total of more than 100,000 souls of various types.

Most of them are souls of monsters, and there are just over ten thousand souls of cultivators.

To be able to achieve such a harvest in just two days shows how many monks died in the Lianyun Mountains.

Moreover, the two of them were still wandering in the relatively safe middle and outer areas.

"That's enough. If we want to collect all the souls in the entire Lianyun Mountains into the ghost realm, we don't have enough time now. Come back after the alliance ceremony is over. I want to go back to Lianyunfang City before the ceremony begins."

After closing the entrance to the ghost realm and feeling the aura coming from Ye Qingyang that was comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, Fang Chen decided to temporarily stop his trip to the Lianyun Mountains.

"My previous estimation was a little wrong. I didn't expect that reaching the Ghost King Realm would require so many souls. It was only after the City Lord's external incarnation released the souls that I was able to barely reach this realm."

Ye Qingyang scratched his head in embarrassment. Fang Chen had actually been planning to go to Lianyun Market for a long time, but the souls he collected were not enough for him to reach the Ghost King Realm comparable to the Jindan cultivators, so he had to stay in the Lianyun Mountains for a while longer.

"That's normal. You've never condensed a golden elixir before, so it's not surprising that you can't imagine how difficult it is to be comparable to a golden elixir cultivator. The next step depends on you. We only have three days. We want to go to Lianyungang City first and then attend the alliance ceremony on time. Without the speed of a golden elixir cultivator, it won't work."

Fang Chen did not blame Ye Qingyang. As he said, the actual cultivation levels of both of them were far from the Golden Core stage, so the wrong judgment about the Golden Core stage was not worthy of criticism.

"give it to me."

Ye Qingyang, who already possesses strength comparable to that of a Jindan stage, is full of confidence. Perhaps it is because he has never possessed such powerful strength before. Even at his age, he still has some youthful mentality and pats his chest to make a promise.

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Fang Chen felt his body lighten, and then he was floating in the air, with Ye Qingyang next to him.

After confirming the direction of Lianyungang City, it flew over there as fast as a bullet.

Originally, the two did not dare to fly with swords in the Lianyun Mountains. There were many Purple Mansion Stage monsters in the Lianyun Mountains. If they were too ostentatious, they would definitely attract them and cause unnecessary risks.

But now, Ye Qingyang, whose strength is comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, is not afraid of this at all and flies freely in the air.

His aura also caused some flying monsters to curl up in caves, not daring to show their heads.

Being carried by Ye Qingyang and flying in the sky, Fang Chen looked down. The scenery below had become a line, and he could not see the real situation at all.

Before he could react, Ye Qingyang was already slowly falling.

Here we are at Lianyunfang City.

　This is the first update today, there will be another one to come.
