At this moment, the terrifying aura that had suddenly appeared within this Reincarnation Path earlier was now spreading throughout the entire Reincarnation Path.
Ye Yunfei knew that the terrifying existence could arrive here at any time.
“You truly know the method to harvest the Other Shore Flowers, and you have additional treasure stored elsewhere?”
Seeing no other choice, Ye Yunfei addressed the Reincarnation Ghost.
“Yes, young man, what I say is true. As long as you agree to release me, we can strike a deal,” the Reincarnation Ghost replied immediately, overjoyed upon hearing Ye Yunfei’s question.
If possible, it naturally didn’t wish to be taken away from this Reincarnation Path by Ye Yunfei. It was born within this Reincarnation Path, and the environment here was most suitable for its residence and cultivation. If it left this path for the outside world, it would gradually weaken.
“Where is this other treasure cache of yours? If it requires going deeper into this Reincarnation Path, then let’s forget about this deal,” Ye Yunfei asked after some thought.
“No need to go further. The other location is at Naihe Bridge. It doesn't require venturing deeper into the Reincarnation Path,” the Reincarnation Ghost hastily answered.
“Very well. If you can truly help me harvest these Other Shore Flowers, and also give me the treasures you've hidden at Naihe Bridge, I can grant you your freedom,” Ye Yunfei said, nodding after a moment’s consideration.
Ye Yunfei himself had no deep enmity with this Reincarnation Ghost. If he could truly obtain that many treasures in exchange, letting this Reincarnation Ghost go was of little consequence.
“Good, young man. It's a deal. I believe you won't go back on your word, because I’ve observed your Soul Body; you are one of those men who honor their words,” the Reincarnation Ghost said joyfully upon hearing Ye Yunfei’s reply.
“I will teach you the method to harvest the Other Shore Flowers now. To harvest them, one must be relatively familiar with the rules of this Reincarnation Path and with the properties of the Other Shore Flowers. If you follow my method now, you'll be able to harvest them. However, you mustn't harvest too many. If the quantity you take is excessive, you'll disrupt the rules within this Reincarnation Path, causing the entire path to resonate. Everything on this Yellow Spring Road would then be utterly destroyed, including you and me,” the Reincarnation Ghost explained to Ye Yunfei.
“Alright, teach me how to harvest the Other Shore Flowers now. I'll take what I can get; I won’t force it,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
With that, the Reincarnation Ghost began teaching Ye Yunfei the method to harvest the Other Shore Flowers.
While Ye Yunfei was harvesting the Other Shore Flowers on the Yellow Spring Road, a white figure suddenly appeared on the Wangxiang Platform.
This white figure stood beside the Wangxiang Stone. A vast amount of mist suddenly emerged from the platform, engulfing the entire terrace in moments.
“There's a small space here, and it was artificially created,” the white figure soon discovered the small space beside the Wangxiang Stone.
He stepped inside the small space in a single stride. Although the entrance and exit of this small space were protected by highly advanced Restriction Runes, the white figure paid them no heed.
Once inside, the white figure immediately began probing the small space with his senses.
“Excellent. That fellow was truly hiding here before. To think that over the years he was hiding inside a Reincarnation Path… This is my territory. He really did believe the most dangerous place was the safest,” the white figure said coldly.
His gaze then fell upon the spot where the enormous figure had earlier torn open space and fled.
“No matter where you flee, I will find you sooner or later,” the white figure said in an icy tone, then turned and walked out of the small space.
His gaze then shifted towards the direction of the Yellow Spring Road, landing on Ye Yunfei.
“Since you possess this token, consider it part of your fortune. I shall not hold you accountable for trespassing into the Reincarnation Path,” the white figure murmured after a moment, then withdrew his gaze and paid Ye Yunfei no further attention.
Next, his eyes looked to another location on the Reincarnation Path, where a man was shouting loudly.
“Brother Ye! Brother Ye…! Where are you?”
The man yelled while searching all around.
It was Qin Yuanyu.
He had been leading Ye Yunfei deeper into the Reincarnation Path, but Ye Yunfei had vanished abruptly. Unaware that the Ye Yunfei with him was merely a Clone, he thought something had happened to Ye Yunfei.
“How could this be? Brother Ye's strength far surpasses mine. Why did he suddenly disappear just now? Could he have encountered some danger? But I'm completely fine. If danger had truly struck earlier, I should have been the first one affected,” Qin Yuanyu pondered anxiously while searching for Ye Yunfei.
“Could it be that when danger approached, Brother Ye noticed it in advance and blocked it all, which is why I'm safe and sound? And Brother Ye faced all the danger alone and perished? That would mean I brought misfortune upon Brother Ye!” Qin Yuanyu lamented with self-reproach.
He had no idea that the Ye Yunfei who had accompanied him here earlier was only a Clone.
“There's actually a promising seedling here. Since I've found him, I’ll take him back with me,” the white figure spoke softly as he suddenly appeared behind Qin Yuanyu.
Meanwhile, on the Yellow Spring Road, Ye Yunfei, guided by the Reincarnation Ghost, was harvesting the Other Shore Flowers.
Shortly after, following the Reincarnation Ghost’s instructions, Ye Yunfei indeed managed to harvest some Other Shore Flowers—over a hundred stalks of both colors.
Both sides of this Yellow Spring Road were densely lined with Other Shore Flowers, stretching into the distance like two differently-colored flower dragons. A hundred or so stalks were but a negligible part of the whole.
“Alright, young man, you can't harvest any more. Doing so would agitate the rules here,” the Reincarnation Ghost warned Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei had no reason to doubt the Reincarnation Ghost's words. The Reincarnation Path had its own rules, and Ye Yunfei didn't want trouble. Obtaining over a hundred Other Shore Flowers was already an unexpected harvest.
Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique and dashed forward swiftly, crossing the Yellow Spring Road in a flash and arriving before Naihe Bridge.
“Young man, the small space where I’ve stored my treasures is right here. Once you receive the treasures, you must free me as agreed,” the Reincarnation Ghost said to Ye Yunfei.
Having been imprisoned and tormented within the Phantom Shadow Tower for so long, and with his powerful backer on the Wangxiang Platform already gone, he had no other means of escape now. He could only hope to regain his freedom by striking a deal with Ye Yunfei.
“Don’t worry. Once I get the treasures, I'll grant you your freedom,” Ye Yunfei said.
“By the way, have you cultivated any special techniques? Preferably a racial technique belonging to your Reincarnation Ghost race,” Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of this and asked.
“Young man, what do you mean? Didn’t we just agree? I help you harvest the Other Shore Flowers, give you those treasures, and you release me. Are you making additional demands now?” the Reincarnation Ghost immediately asked indignantly upon hearing Ye Yunfei’s words.
