Chapter 299: Chapter 298: Harvest

With the disappearance of the old ghost, Peter took a step and picked up a storage bag.

Glancing inside, Peter shook his head. Although the old ghost had left a storage bag, the medicinal materials inside were probably already consumed by him. All that was left was a jade slip and a short sword.

Peter held the jade slip to his forehead for a while and then also shook his head. Even though it was a set of cultivation techniques, it was far inferior to the inheritance techniques he had obtained and was of no use for him.

When Peter looked at the other items, his eyes lit up, and he saw a stone.

"Crystal Yang Stone!"

Peter knew this was a type of ore specially used for refining flying swords, which was useful for him.

This thing could be used to refine a flying sword, and Peter’s discerning eye saw the situation in the storage bag with the short sword. In his opinion, it was too rough, he felt that it would be better to refine a flying sword himself next time. With this piece of ore, refining a flying sword became a real possibility.

Poor!

The old ghost had been here for so many years, it turns out he was really poor.

Passing the storage bag to Olivia Turner, Peter said: "This is a storage bag. As long as you mark it with your divine sense, you can use it freely."

Olivia Turner didn’t expect Peter to give her something good. When she took the bag, she looked at Peter with an apologetic expression, "We really didn’t know about the situation here, we almost got into trouble!"

"You were deceived too, it doesn’t matter."

"Peter, it surrendered, why didn’t you take it in?" Olivia Turner asked curiously.

Smiling, Peter said: "This old ghost is not an ordinary person, but a scheming old ghost. Besides, his cultivation level is useless to me. Keeping him might end up causing trouble, so it’s better to get rid of him."

In his heart, Peter understood very well that the old ghost hadn’t died after being trapped for so many years. Saying that he didn’t have some tricks up his sleeve was false. Now he didn’t know too much about the Cultivation World, and if he let the old ghost out, the old ghost would like to play tricks. If he encounters resources and restores his cultivation, it would be difficult for him to control the old ghost, and he might even be controlled by the old ghost. That would really be a tragic end, so it’s better to kill him now.

At this moment, Peter became curious about the person who trapped this old ghost.

He really didn’t know which expert was so powerful as to trap such a strong person.

It seems that the ancient times weren’t as simple as the history books say, and too many things have been lost!

"Let’s go take a look at the back."

After saying that, Peter had already headed toward the depths of the cave.

As the two entered the cave, they were surprised to find an even larger space.

Peter, a formation master, looked at the situation and said to Olivia Turner: "The old ghost was trapped in a formation. This formation is actually one that uses feng shui geography to provide energy."

Although Olivia Turner was a Qi Refining First Layer cultivator and didn’t know these things, she could only follow Peter closely, her face full of curiosity.

"Peter, can a formation really hold him for so many years?" Olivia Turner was shocked when she thought about the old ghost saying he had waited for thousands of years.

Nodding slightly, Peter said: "The person who trapped the old ghost is an expert. His achievements in formation knowledge are very high, and this method of turning a cultivation formation into a feng shui formation is very valuable as a reference."

As he spoke, Peter carefully observed the area. The more he observed, the more he admired the method of transforming cultivation formations into feng shui formations.

If it was a cultivation formation, the source of power required would be spiritual energy. Cultivators usually use spirit stones or rely on spirit veins, but either of these two methods would eventually run out. When the energy is exhausted, the formation will stop, and the person inside will naturally escape. So, the expert who trapped the old ghost used the ubiquitous power of feng shui from nature as energy, and this idea is very impressive.

Looking at the unchanged situation here for thousands of years, Peter knew in his heart that the feng shui here had not changed much since imprisoning the old ghost, which led to the old ghost’s weakening with the loss of energy replenishment.

This old ghost was also a very strong person!

After looking for a while, Peter laughed and said: "It’s clear that although the old ghost knew a bit about formations, he was far weaker than the person who trapped him. The energy used here draws upon the power of feng shui to drive the formation. For thousands of years, there has been no significant change in the terrain here, and the formation has not been destroyed. The old ghost couldn’t escape, so he was unable to break free under the control of the formation."

As he spoke, Peter took out a formation disk and used a hand seal to activate it. The formation was broken by Peter.

"Peter, you’re awesome!"

As the formation opened, the two people’s eyes lit up, Olivia Turner looked at Peter with admiration in her eyes.

If at the beginning she had an indifferent attitude towards being with Peter after their singing contest, after experiencing these events and seeing Peter’s strength, Olivia Turner’s heart had already undergone a major change. She was already developing feelings of love for Peter.

Just as Peter was about to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he appeared in front of a pool of water.

Ten Thousand Years Stone Origin Water!

At this point, Peter Brown could hardly remain calm, muttering to himself, "It’s actually Ten Thousand Years Stone Source Water!"

"Peter, what is Ten Thousand Years Stone Source Water?" Olivia Turner looked at the huge and snow-white stone platform with a basin of water the size of a small bowl on it and asked Peter Brown curiously.

Both of their gazes fell on the basin of water. The basin was made of jade. Interestingly, the water inside it was crystal clear and clean, and it appeared to be completely unaffected by any pollution or dust.

"Peter, the water is so clear, it feels like it’s going to swallow you whole!" Olivia asked like an inquisitive child.

"Someone set up a formation here, and this jade basin is specifically used to collect Stone Source Water. Under the protection of the formation, the water can remain unchanged for a very long time."

"No wonder no animals or anything try to drink this water; they must be blocked outside, right?"

"That’s right. That’s why there’s so much accumulated."

At this time, Peter Brown looked around the stone platform again and saw quite a few snake-type creatures, but none of them could climb up to the stone platform due to another formation in place for protection.

"Ten Thousand Years Stone Source Water is incredibly useful for cultivators. A person can only drink it once in their life, and it’s only useful below the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as you drink a mouthful, anyone with Spiritual Roots can guide Qi into their body. Those at the Qi-refining stage can increase their cultivation by one level just by drinking a mouthful."

Seeing Olivia Turner’s eager gaze, Peter Brown continued, "That’s not the most important thing; the key is that when this water is added to the process of refining elixirs, the success rate for pill formation will be greatly increased, and the elixirs will be refined into Perfect Elixirs. Anyway, there are many benefits."

At this point, Peter Brown glanced at the direction where the old ghost had been and chuckled, "Now I understand. That old ghost was probably just someone assigned to guard this place."

"Yeah, we didn’t even know there was such a place."

"Has anyone from your village ever entered this place?"

"Of course! But everyone knows that we can’t just enter this place casually. Those who enter will lose their lives. We didn’t know before, but now we know that the old ghost must have killed them!"

With that, Olivia Turner sighed.

"Yes, he must have killed them. I suppose the people in your village probably don’t even know that your family is a guardian family, right?"

"I don’t know about that. All I know is that our family is a guardian family."

Peter Brown wondered if the old ghost’s cultivation might have been too high, and ordinary people couldn’t withstand his possession. He needed someone above the third level of Qi Refining to possess. The villagers must have tried it before, but every attempt had failed.

"Peter, are you sure that after taking it, our level will really be promoted?" At this moment, Olivia Turner was interested in Stone Source Water again.

"Absolutely. However, I don’t recommend taking it at low levels of cultivation. If you take it above the Qi-refining seventh layer, the effect will be more noticeable. Wait until I’ve collected some to give you."

"Peter, I don’t need it. Our family caused trouble for you this time, and you already gave me a storage bag with cultivation techniques and a short sword. You haven’t even gotten anything yet."

This beautiful woman wasn’t bad; her character was acceptable!

Peter Brown secretly praised her.

"You don’t need to practice the cultivation techniques he gave you. They’re ordinary techniques. I’ll give you a better set later."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, Peter."

Peter Brown took out some Fire talismans and threw them around the platform to eliminate poisonous insects and other things. Then, he stepped towards the platform.

As Peter cast out several jade talismans, the protective formation was broken.

With the formation lifted, both of them could clearly feel an enormous surge of energy rushing toward them.

Without any hesitation, Peter took out some empty jade bottles from his ring and began collecting the Stone Source Water.

As he collected the water, Peter’s mood was quite excited. The trip was more than worthwhile now that he had acquired a large basin of Stone Source Water. He had made a fortune.

After collecting the Stone Source Water, Peter Brown looked at the jade basin and realized that a drop of Stone Source Water would form every month. This place couldn’t be abandoned.

He restored the formations and added a stronger hidden formation to protect the place completely.

When the two of them left, Peter Brown set up another formation at the cave entrance to make it impossible for anyone to see that there was a cave entrance there.

Once they emerged from the cave, Olivia patted her chest and said, "That was terrifying, Peter! If it weren’t for you, another person would have definitely been harmed by him. Sigh, I never thought that the person our Smith Clan was guarding would be someone like this. My dad would be so heartbroken if he knew!"

Peter Brown shared the sentiment. He didn’t know what kind of person the old ghost was, but he must have had a high cultivation level while alive. It was unclear what kind of conflict they had experienced.

However, Peter Brown did not regret killing the old ghost. It took him so many talismans to finish him off, which was enough to show how powerful he had been. Getting rid of him was a good thing, avoiding further trouble.
