Chapter 1308: Companion Becomes Daughter

The reason why Master Shi Han came to the Ancient Wind Continent from afar was to find a suitable place for his dual cultivation of his soul to ghost cultivation. So after helping Qingyang refine the magic weapon decades ago, Master Shi Han left the Fairyland and had not seen Qingyang for more than 40 years.

Qingyang thought that he would never meet Master Shi Han again in this life, but he didn't expect that he would save his daughter by accident. When they separated, Master Shi Han's dual cultivation partner was just a low-level ghost cultivator, without even a body and consciousness. Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, he even had a daughter and even his cultivation level was raised to the foundation-building stage.

"Do you really know my father?" asked the ghost cultivator woman.

Qingyang said, "Of course. Your father helped me refine my life treasures. It took him half a year to prepare in Jiuxian City, and then he spent nearly a year to refine five giant swords. But later he was in a hurry to come to the Netherworld, so we separated."

Qingyang's words seemed to remind the ghost cultivator girl. She finally linked some things in her memory together, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you Senior Qingyang?"

Qingyang nodded and said, "It's me. You can remember my name, which means your father has mentioned me in front of you. I wonder what you call me? How are your parents now?"

The ghost cultivator girl said, "My name is Mei Qing. I have been dependent on my father for these years. I have never heard that I have a mother. Has Senior Qingyang ever seen my mother?"

Qingyang was a little surprised. Although decades have passed, he clearly remembers that Master Shi Han's wife, who only had the soul left, was named Mei Qing. Whether it is ordinary people or cultivators, the younger generation must avoid the elders when naming. Why do they also name their daughter Mei Qing? This is too unreasonable. Moreover, when Master Shi Han left, his wife who had turned into a ghost cultivator was still conscious, but everything was normal. How could she suddenly leave behind a daughter and disappear?

It is difficult for low-level ghost cultivators to produce offspring. Only after they reach the ghost stage and reshape their bodies can they live like normal people. It has only been more than 40 years since Qingyang separated from them. It takes the previous Mei Qing to grow to the ghost stage and give birth to a daughter with Master Shi Han. This daughter will grow to the ghost stage again. It is unlikely to do so many things in such a short time.

Qingyang once heard that ghost cultivators are just a ball of energy in the ghost stage, absorbing the Yin and Ming ghost energy and growing slowly. After reaching the ghost shadow stage, the energy will be enhanced to a certain extent and then a shadow will appear. After that, the strength will continue to increase. After reshaping the body in the ghost stage, they can move like normal people. During this period, the memory of the previous life will be completely lost.

If a cultivator has only his primordial spirit left, there are two ways to survive. One is to possess another's body. After possessing another's body, the cultivator will inherit the original realm, memory, and even lifespan to the greatest extent. However, possessing another's body also has a disadvantage. The primordial spirit is relatively fragile. The lower the realm of the primordial spirit, the shorter the time it can be retained in the outside world. In addition, it has too high requirements for the object of possession and requires coincidence. Therefore, low-level cultivators who only have their primordial spirit left rarely choose to possess another's body. High-level cultivators can't bear to give up their previous realm, so their primordial spirit can be preserved in the outside world for a long time and they can slowly look for a body to possess.

Another method is to turn into a ghost cultivator. There are more disadvantages of the primordial spirit turning into a ghost cultivator, because everything starts from scratch, including the memory of the previous life, the original realm, and the lifespan are also difficult to retain. In fact, it is almost like changing another person. Of course, worldly things are not absolute. As the realm of ghost cultivators improves, the memories of the previous life will gradually recover. When the strength grows to a certain extent, it is not impossible to restore all the memories, but this requires a very high realm for ghost cultivators. At least the ghost form stage, ghost spirit stage, and even the ghost king stage cannot do this.

If we consider this aspect, it is very likely that this ghost cultivation woman is Master Shi Han's dual cultivation partner Mei Qing. It's just that because she lost the memory of her previous life, she became another person. Master Shi Han couldn't do anything, so he could only call her father and daughter. As for why Qingyang felt familiar but couldn't remember who she was, the reason was very simple. When they separated, Mei Qing didn't even reach the ghost shadow stage. She was just a ball of energy composed of the soul and the dark ghost energy. Now Mei Qing's strength has been improved to the ghost form stage and her body has been reshaped. It is normal for Qingyang not to remember.

If we follow this explanation, many things make sense, because this ghost cultivation woman was originally the soul of Master Shi Han's dual cultivation partner Mei Qing who turned into a ghost cultivator, so naturally she no longer has a mother. But why was Mei Qing taken to auction, did something happen to Master Shi Han?

Since Master Shihan didn't tell Mei Qing the truth, Qingyang couldn't tell her either. He just shook his head and said, "I don't know who your mother is. It's better to ask your father. Didn't you say that you depend on Master Shihan for your life? Why are you here alone?"

When Qingyang mentioned Master Shihan, Mei Qing fell to his knees in front of Qingyang and said, "Senior, my father is in trouble. Please, please save him for the sake of knowing my father! I will do anything for him!"

If it weren't for Master Shihan's help, Qingyang wouldn't have come to the Ancient Wind Continent so quickly. At that time, everyone was in the same boat and went through hardships for more than ten years. During this period, they formed a deep friendship, especially Master Shihan, who had a kind character and helped Qingyang many times. Even the life magic weapon used by Qingyang was refined by Master Shihan. Although they separated later, their friendship did not weaken at all. Now that he knew that Master Shihan was in trouble, Qingyang naturally couldn't stand idly by.

So Qingyang reached out and helped Mei Qing up and said, "Master Shihan and I have been friends for many years. It is my duty to save him. Don't worry. Let me tell you what happened first."

Seeing Qingyang agreed to help, Mei Qing felt a little better and said, "My father and I originally lived in Chujiang City. We relied on my father's superb weapon-making skills to earn Hades Stone for some casual cultivators to make a living. However, as my father's fame grew, more and more cultivators came to him to refine weapons, which gradually affected the business of True Lord Chiye. His disciples and grandchildren came to cause trouble whenever they had nothing to do. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. My father and I were new here and had no background or strength to compete with them. We had no choice but to leave Chujiang City on our own initiative."

After listening to Mei Qing's words, Qingyang realized that Master Shihan and Mei Qing had also been to Chujiang City, and there were some grievances between them and True Lord Chiye. If Qingyang had known that they had bullied Master Shihan, he would not have let them go so easily.
