This woman who calls herself Ghost Hands Fong was already trapped inside the thumb ring when Lu Ting found it.
Ghost Hands Fong was able to teach her the ways of her Nine Heavens Ghost Acupuncture Needles, accelerating her cultivation.
It had convinced her that Ghost Hands Fong wasn't out to harm her.
She was also led to places with valuable spirit herbs by Ghost Hands Fong.
Which was why she was here in Hong Feng City, exploring the mountains for valuable spirit herbs.
Spirit herbs growing in the wild were rare.
They took hundreds of years to gain enough Spirit Qi to become spirit herbs.
You need lots of luck to be able to encounter one, but with Ghost Hands Fong, she was able to gather them frequently like normal herbs.
Lu Ting's cultivation went smoothly with the help of Ghost Hands Fong for some time until she stalled when she got to the Foundation Establishment Level.
Her chance of breaking through to Core Formation Level was alluring to her.
