Chen Lin just felt his mind was dazed, his thoughts were scattered, and he couldn't concentrate.
Within the sight of Mo Lake, there is a puddle not far away, next to which grows a leafless dry tree, on the branch of which sits a crow-like bird.
The cry that caused him to fall to the ground without any resistance came from the mouth of this crow.
“Gah!”
After Chen Lin practiced the Vajra Body Refining Technique and stimulated the power of the Dharmakaya, the abnormal symptoms finally eased a little. However, before he could stand up, the crow's cry appeared again.
The spirit that had just been concentrated suddenly dispersed again. The brain could not control the body. I had many ideas but could not put them into action.
He was extremely terrified. He had no idea where this crow came from and why it was so strange. It didn't look like a ghost but a real entity!
"quack!"
The crow let out two strange cries, then suddenly flew up from a dry branch and landed above Chen Lin's head.
It flapped its wings and hovered motionlessly, staring at Chen Lin with its two dark little eyes for a while, then it opened its mouth and a black vortex appeared in front of its mouth.
The vortex was not big and had no attack power, but Chen Lin felt that his soul was beginning to be pulled away and into the vortex.
This horrified him so much that he hurriedly urged his spiritual sense to pull back, but the side effects caused by the screaming had not yet been eliminated, and it was very difficult for him to concentrate his spiritual sense. He was no match for the opponent at all.
He could only watch helplessly as his soul was sucked away bit by bit. He felt even more powerless than when he faced the Buddha statue of his previous life's appearance when he was transcending the tribulation.
"Am I going to die here like this?"
Chen Lin thought quickly about how to deal with the situation.
Finally, he realized that no other means could be used in the current situation and he could only split his soul again in order to seek a chance of survival!
This struck him as ridiculous.
I came here to resolve the problem of damage to the origin of my soul, but in the end I have to split my soul to survive. What kind of cause and effect is this
Although he was helpless, Chen Lin had no choice but to grit his teeth and prepare to perform the Soul-Splitting Technique.
However, at this moment, something in his sleeve suddenly made a clicking sound, and then his body was enveloped by a white light.
As the white light appeared, the side effects of the crow's cry were immediately dispelled. He, who was already at the end of his strength, immediately burst out all his potential. His fist was wrapped with the phantom of a dark red lotus, and he punched the crow!
"quack!"
The crow screamed, but was not blown up directly. Instead, it flapped its wings and tried to escape.
Seeing this, Chen Lin couldn't do as the other party wished, so he immediately overdrew his soul power without hesitation and pointed out.
If he let it run away now, and it turns around to seek revenge on him, he would have no chance of turning the tables.
The light of the Soul-Destroying Finger fell on Crow, and his body immediately stiffened. He fell to the ground with a thud, and was no longer able to breathe.
Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking like he had survived a disaster.
However, he did not dare to stay there any longer. He picked up the crow's body and left quickly. He stopped only when he was really out of strength.
He found a secluded place and set up an isolation array, then began to take pills to recover.
a long time.
Chen Lin took a deep breath and finished his healing.
Then he took out a wooden hairpin from his sleeve pocket and examined it with a surprised look on his face.
The white light just now was emitted by this thing, he felt it clearly.
He knew from the beginning that this thing could not be an ordinary wooden hairpin, so he put it in his pocket and observed it from time to time to see if there would be any abnormalities in different environments, but he never found anything.
Unexpectedly, it saved his life at this critical moment.
He realized something was wrong after just one glance. The originally intact wooden hairpin now had a crack. Yin energy seemed to be emanating from the crack, but it was not very obvious in this environment where the Yin energy was already strong.
After studying it for a while, he still found nothing. He couldn't help but frown in confusion and could only put it away for the time being.
Then he stood up, put away the formation, and prepared to continue exploring.
"Haha, fellow Daoist has some skills. He was able to survive from the jaws of a dark crow. I wonder who he is?"
Just after putting away the formation flag, Chen Lin heard a cold voice. Turning around, he was startled. A white-faced, beardless man in a green shirt was looking at him with a smile, but he felt nothing at all.
"I am Chen Lin from Tianyun Immortal City. May I know your name?"
The other party's strength is obviously much higher than his. There is no point in lying. It would be bad to anger the other party.
Moreover, the other party also saw him fighting with the crow, so it must have been following him for a while. Since it didn't kill it directly, it probably didn't have any grudge against him.
"My name is Ji Wuming, have you ever heard of me, fellow Daoist?"
The other person raised his eyebrows and said a name that surprised Chen Lin.
"Your surname is Ji, could it be that you are from the Ji family, a hermit family?"
Chen Lin was overjoyed when he realized what was going on. It was truly a case of finding something without any effort.
The white-faced man glanced at him and said calmly, "Even if that's the case, I heard that you have been looking for our Ji family on the third floor. What is your purpose?"
As he said this, a cold aura suddenly burst out from his body, causing Chen Lin to involuntarily take two steps back.
He has at least reached the late Jindan stage, and his methods are powerful!
Chen Lin's face changed, but he resisted the discomfort and bowed to explain: "Senior, because my soul source is damaged, I came here under the guidance of my master to find your family to solve this crisis. Please forgive me if I disturbed you."
"Who is your master?"
Ji Wuming still had no expression on his face.
Chen Lin clasped his fists again and said, "My master once said that if you meet someone from the Ji family, just say she is the second lady of the Yun family!"
"What, you are Miss Yun's apprentice?"
Ji Wuming, who had always been very calm, was immediately surprised when he heard the words "Second Miss Yun". He looked at Chen Lin carefully and asked, "Where is your master now?"
Chen Lin bowed and said, "My master has already condensed his Nascent Soul twenty years ago, and is currently the mayor of the Silver Immortal City in the Northern Immortal Cultivation World."
After saying that, he looked at the other person with expectant eyes.
According to the Silver Fairy, their family seemed to have some dealings with the Ji family, but the relationship was not deep. She herself had never met anyone from the Ji family. Reporting her name could only increase trust. If she wanted to obtain a solution to the origin of the soul, it would depend on the other party's mood.
Ji Wuming was stunned for a while before he spoke faintly, "I said that the brilliant Second Miss Yun couldn't just disappear like that. It turns out that she went to the northern immortal cultivation world and became the famous Silver Fairy. Now that I think about it, killing a god is indeed something she could do!"
Chen Lin's heart moved. He didn't expect that the name of the Silver Fairy had spread to the southern immortal cultivation world, and that this Ji Wuming seemed to have a good impression of his master. There might be hope for the matter of the origin of the soul.
But immediately his heart sank.
The other party's expression straightened up and he said, "Since you are Miss Yun's disciple, I will not pursue your fault of disturbing my clan's cultivation. This Wanhun Ridge is a node connecting the underworld, and most ghosts are evolved from the underworld. Especially from the fourth floor, there are real underworld creatures. Those who don't have special means will be in great danger. You should quickly retreat to the previous floor!"
Chen Lin's face changed. The other party actually ordered him to leave.
He immediately said anxiously: "Senior, I came here to seek a solution to the damage to my soul's origin. I beg you to lend a hand for the sake of my master. I am willing to accept any price!"
He had finally found the person, so of course he couldn't just leave like that. No matter how indifferent the other party was, he had to do his best to fight for her.
Ji Wuming shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you. The damaged origin of the soul can't be restored just by saying so. Unless you find a treasure from the underworld like the Styx Flower, there is basically no hope. Although my Ji family is good at the way of the soul, it is not omnipotent. You should think of other ways!"
After saying this, he didn't give Chen Lin any chance to beg, and his body slowly disappeared from the spot.
Chen Lin's face looked very ugly.
After going through so much trouble, he didn't expect to get such a result in the end. You can imagine how he feels.
But the other party's attitude was firm and he didn't give him any chance to say more. If the other party notified his tribesmen and deliberately avoided him, it would be almost impossible to find him again.
After standing there for a while, he sighed and prepared to return to the previous floor.
This place is indeed dangerous and not a place to stay for long.
Moreover, the world is so big, he doesn't believe that only the Ji family can heal the damage to the origin of the soul. Anyway, he is no longer worried about his lifespan, so he can just search slowly.
Thinking of this, he looked up and looked for a while, then ran towards a cave in the distance.
"come out!"
Not long after walking out, Chen Lin felt as if something was watching him. He immediately stopped and held the Qingjiao Spear across his body, shouting and concentrating his attention.
"Humph, this is not fun. You actually found out!"
As the childish voice sounded, a chubby little boy appeared in Chen Lin's sight, pouting and looking very unhappy.
A little boy running out of such a place made Chen Lin's heart rise immediately. With the power of Dharma activated, Qing Jiao Ge pointed at the other party and said coldly: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The little boy paid no attention to the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the Qing Jiao Ge. He rummaged in his pocket and took out a peach. He took a big bite and said sarcastically, "Of course it's a human. Aren't you looking for someone from the Ji family? I am one of them!"
Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this, staring at the other party and asked: "What evidence do you have?"
The little boy was immediately unhappy and threw the peach to the ground, saying angrily: "Why didn't you confirm my brother's identity when you just met him? Now you ask me to produce evidence. Do you look down on me?"
Chen Lin looked at the other person's appearance and felt that it should not be a ghostly creature, so he felt a little relieved.
But a child dared to hang around on the fourth floor alone, and his cultivation level could not be sensed at all. If the other party was really a member of the Ji family, then this Ji family was much more mysterious than he had imagined.
After thinking for a while, he said with a twinkle in his eyes, "How could I look down on you? I just asked casually. Your Ji family is not as powerful as the legend says. You don't even have a way to solve the damage to the soul's origin. Why are you stopping me?"
Regardless of whether it works or not, let's try to provoke him first. Seeing that this little guy doesn't want to submit to anyone, it should be effective. It's a good opportunity to test whether what Ji Wuming said is true or false.
Sure enough, when the little boy heard what Chen Lin said, he immediately said angrily: "Who said that our Ji family is not strong? It's just that the soul source is damaged. We have plenty of ways to solve it!"
