Qin Tian walked quietly in the Meteorite Landing Zone, surrounded by large and small craters.

He kept heading toward the core area, occasionally seeing people fighting fiercely for a piece of the Mysterious Meteorite; sometimes, even two groups ended up in a full-blown fight.

Qin Tian wasn't interested in these things; his intuition told him that if the meteorite from beyond the sky indeed brought a Strange Treasure, it was definitely not as simple as an ordinary Strange Treasure or a piece of meteorite.

After walking in the Meteorite Landing Zone for more than an hour, Qin Tian reached the central area. Even before getting close, he felt a significant wave of True Qi from afar.

Ahead was a mountain range, the most central and majestic mountain range of Ghost Island, the Ghost Mountain — the core area of the Meteorite Landing Zone!

Ahead, there was a crowd of people; at least a hundred people were gathered at the entrance, clustered in threes and fours, whispering.

The Ghost Mountain had a large rock wall, where people stood on the sandy ground before the rock wall, looking up at the rock wall—

On the rock wall, there was a conspicuous line of words written as if in fresh blood: "Ghost Soul Vein, all who trespass will die!"

Seeing this line of words, Qin Tian involuntarily gasped, shocked, as a terrifying aura spread through him.

He slowly approached and heard the gathering people whispering among themselves, each displaying a respectful and somewhat fearful gaze toward the Ghost Mountain.

"Hey, Qin Tian, what a coincidence?"

As Qin Tian joined the crowd, from afar, Xue Yao greeted him with a cheerful smile.

It was Xue Yao and Bai Xiyue again...

Qin Tian turned his head to look, feeling a chill in his heart, 'Enemies, meeting again?'

Upon reflection, Qin Tian realized that with the Ghost Mountain being at the core area of the Meteorite Landing Zone, surrounded by giant meteorites and craters, anyone interested in treasure hunting would definitely come here.

"Hmm, is that woman from the Demon Sect wearing a black veil?"

When Qin Tian saw Xue Yao, he also saw Bai Xiyue, who was clad in white but wore a layer of black gauze over her head, making her unrecognizable.

Not only that, Qin Tian noticed that behind them were six men in Martial Artist black outfits standing quietly, appearing to be their subordinates.

"It seems they are big figures from the Demon Sect, actually having subordinates, and those subordinates' cultivations don't seem low."

Qin Tian speculated internally, and his gaze swept over the surrounding crowd, noticing many masked and veiled individuals.

After all, this was a place mixed with all kinds of people, and grudges between different sects were not uncommon, so it was normal for some not to want to be recognized while treasure hunting.

Clearly, people formed groups, with no one or two people standing alone.

Treasure hunting was dangerous, and huddling together for warmth was evidently the best way.

Despite Qin Tian's mixed feelings about encountering Xue Yao and Bai Xiyue again, he decided to join Xue Yao's group.

Facing the terrifying bloody words before the Ghost Mountain, Qin Tian was still confused about why everyone had gathered there.

"Hehe, meeting us again, are you happy?" Xue Yao asked.

"Happy, very happy."

Qin Tian smiled faintly, looking toward Bai Xiyue, who remained silent.

Instead, a burly, sharp-eyed man behind them noticed Qin Tian approaching with intent to drive him away, but was stopped by Bai Xiyue: "It's fine."

Bai Xiyue observed Qin Tian closely, her delicate brows furrowing suddenly: "His aura... how is it so different from what I sensed a few hours ago? His aura has doubled in strength!"

Surprised by the aura emanating from Qin Tian, Bai Xiyue was astonished.

Unbeknownst to her, in those few hours, Qin Tian had endured a lightning storm, forcibly raising his cultivation from Primordial Pill Early Stage to Peak!

Thus, although he attempted to restrain his aura, meeting someone as keen as Bai Xiyue, his power was naturally perceived at a glance.

"Oh, just a few hours apart, and you've changed your clothes, even your hairstyle... this explosive hairstyle... hehe, like a hedgehog."

Xue Yao, bored, immediately made merciless fun of the changes in Qin Tian's clothes and hairstyle.

Feeling quite embarrassed, Qin Tian knew that he had tried to smooth down his explosive hairstyle with water multiple times, but as a fresh "creation" of the lightning storm, its traces were still evident within hours.

"Average, just the world's third, my nickname is Hedgehog," Qin Tian replied, haplessly rambling.

"Really? Haha, I'm curious, where did you get that hairstyle? Is there a barber on Ghost Island?"

Xue Yao couldn't stop laughing, "Accomplished men in the Spiritual Domain usually have long hair; only slaves and laborers without status keep short hair. You, with your decent cultivation, shouldn't be a man without status, right? Yet you still keep short hair?" Xue Yao remarked.

Qin Tian explained earnestly: "Little beauty, you don't know, my hair might be shorter than other men, but elsewhere, I'm longer than other men."

"Oh really? So tell me, where are you longer than other men?" Xue Yao asked equally seriously.

Qin Tian rolled his eyes: "My dear, didn't you have sex education as a kid? Need to ask this? Ahem, one day, if there's a chance, I'll show you, today, hmm, too many people, not convenient..."

"Tsk, you're just spouting nonsense, I don't know what you're talking about, guilty as charged."

Xue Yao pouted.

Qin Tian was enthusiastically chatting with Xue Yao, while Bai Xiyue and the six men next to her remained aloof, not saying a word.

Looking into the distance, Qin Tian asked Xue Yao: "Xue Yao, I don't get it, why is everyone gathering here? Some celebrated cultivation personality holding a concert here?"

"You don't even know that?"

Xue Yao paused, pointing at the large wall of the Ghost Mountain with the writing, saying, "Do you not know the legend of the Ghost Mountain?"

"No, I really don't know, come on, tell us a story."

"The Ghost Mountain, as its name implies, comes from the legend that the mountain range harbors evil entities akin to demonic souls, accompanied by killers and trap mechanisms... anyone who enters never comes out. The origin of Ghost Island is derived from Ghost Mountain's name, with the island named after it."

After explaining, Xue Yao pointed to the Ghost Wall and continued, "This wall, on the night of the full moon every month at midnight, on the fifteenth, the night of the hundred ghosts, will open!"
