"I'm terribly sorry, my two ghost friends, but I'm afraid I can't disclose my cultivation method," Yuan Muye said, looking embarrassed.

"Brother Xiong, this must be a unique cultivation method that our ghost friend possesses. How could he possibly share it easily? You shouldn't ask too much," Bai Lu said at this moment.

The Grey Bear was a straightforward person and quickly said, "Brother Bai, you're right. I was being inconsiderate."

As the three chatted, Yuan Muye was focused on one thing: getting rid of these two as quickly as possible. Their incessant chatter was proving to be quite troublesome for him.

"Brother Bai, Brother Xiong, if that's the case, I won't disturb you any further. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

After transforming, Yuan Muye's entire body was pitch black, with a faint Yin energy swirling around him.

"Wait, little brother, what's the rush? It's fate that we met. We can certainly go to Brother Bai's cave to rest and then exchange cultivation experiences." The Grey Bear blocked Yuan Muye's path.

Yuan Muye wore an awkward expression. It seemed that escaping this situation wouldn't be easy.

A somewhat awkward atmosphere began to circulate. After a while, Yuan Muye finally said, "If that's the case, then I'll accept your kind invitation."

Bai Lu turned his gaze to Yuan Muye and asked, "May I ask what this brother's name is?"

Yuan Muye thought for a moment. He certainly couldn't use his real name, so he said, "Brother Bai, my humble name is not worth mentioning. Just call me Xiao Mu."

"Brother Xiao Mu, to have reached such a level of cultivation at such a young age and still be so humble is truly rare."

The three chatted as they walked along. After a while, a cave appeared on a hillside ahead.

Yuan Muye had expected the cave to be very shabby, but he was surprised to find that it was relatively clean, which he hadn't anticipated.

After entering, the Grey Bear said, "Brother Xiao Mu, this is Brother Bai's cave. What do you think?"

"It's indeed a good place. With such a rich Yin energy nourishing it, I believe Brother Bai will reach even greater heights soon." Yuan Muye started talking nonsense.

"Then I'll take your auspicious words."

"I have a fine wine brewed from Yin grass from the Ghost Mist Forest. Would you like to try it?" Bai Lu asked.

Yuan Muye paused for a few seconds, surprised that this guy was so generous.

It wouldn't be good to refuse at this point.

However, up until now, Yuan Muye hadn't sensed any malice from these two strange beasts.

Most likely, the aura on his body had deceived them.

These two strange beasts probably believed that Yuan Muye was also a ghost friend.

"That sounds wonderful!" Yuan Muye said.

Since Yuan Muye's body could absorb Yin energy, then presumably drinking some Yin grass wine shouldn't cause any major problems, right?

"Thank you, Brother Bai."

The wine was quickly poured into a cup, and a burst of black Qi immediately emanated from it.

Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly. It seemed that the Yin energy in this cup of wine was quite heavy.

"Brother Xiao Mu, may I ask what level of cultivation you're at? This brother can't seem to tell," the Grey Bear suddenly said in a boisterous manner.

Yuan Muye paused for a moment, then said awkwardly, "My cultivation is still low and not for outsiders to know."

"Alright, if that's the case, then we won't talk about that. Let's all have a drink together."

"Good, Brother Xiong is truly straightforward."

Bai Lu and the Grey Bear quickly drank the Yin grass wine.

Yuan Muye hesitated for a moment, then also drank the Yin grass wine. At first, Yuan Muye was very reluctant, thinking that the Yin grass wine must have significant side effects.

But after the Yin grass wine entered his stomach, Yuan Muye suddenly discovered that this Yin grass wine was more delicious than any other wine he had ever drunk.

Including in his previous life…

Moreover, this Yin grass wine contained a large amount of Yin energy. When he drank it, the Yin energy was quickly absorbed by his ghost body.

Yuan Muye had only just cultivated the third level of his ghost body, but after drinking the wine, he clearly felt that the third level of his ghost body had been consolidated.

This was quite a good thing for him.

Sensing that his body wasn't having any particularly strange reactions, Yuan Muye didn't hold back and drank several more cups in a row.

He also had a pleasant chat with the bear and the deer.

Yuan Muye also learned a lot of things. It turned out that the Ghost Mist Forest was a forbidden area, and there were many powerful ghosts cultivating inside.

The bear and the deer were both level seven ghosts and were about to advance to the level eight ghost commander.

Their strength could be said to be quite formidable!

Yuan Muye confirmed their cultivation levels and felt a wave of lingering fear in his heart. If the bear and the deer hadn't had no malice towards him…

Yuan Muye would probably already be dead.

He had no confidence in escaping from the bear and the deer.

After a few rounds of drinks, Yuan Muye got up to leave.

At this time, Bai Lu and the Grey Bear suddenly asked Yuan Muye, "Ghost Friend Xiao Mu, may I ask where your cultivation cave is? Next time, I'll visit you with Ghost Friend Bai."

Yuan Muye paused for a few seconds upon hearing this.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he finally said, "My two ghost friends, I've only just arrived in the Ghost Mist Forest and haven't chosen a cave yet. Once I've chosen one, I'll definitely invite you two ghost brothers to visit as soon as possible."

"Alright, then we'll wait for your news."

The Grey Bear and Bai Lu were quite polite and escorted Yuan Muye outside.

Once outside, Yuan Muye was still on guard and cautiously moved his feet.

But after walking for three to five minutes, he felt that no aura was locked onto him.

Yuan Muye began to feel more at ease. He found a relatively safe place and leaned against a tree, breathing heavily.

He really hadn't expected that there would be so many powerful ghosts in this Ghost Mist Forest.

If these evil ghosts joined forces to attack the cities of the human race, would those people be able to resist? The uneasy feeling in Yuan Muye's heart began to grow stronger and stronger.

But Yuan Muye couldn't worry about those things now. The most urgent task was to leave this Ghost Mist Forest as soon as possible.

This Ghost Mist Forest was giving Yuan Muye a strong sense of unease.

He had only cultivated for a short while and had already encountered two powerful evil ghosts.

If he continued to cultivate later, he might encounter even more powerful ones?

Yuan Muye wanted to try to leave from the previous exit.

But as he walked forward, Yuan Muye suddenly felt a chill run down his spine…
