After leaving Liu Ruolan, Chen Lin encountered no more danger and finally arrived at his destination, the edge of a valley.
This place is marked on the map as Luoling Valley, which means the place where the spiritual treasure fell.
However, there was no trace of any spiritual treasure at this time, but the energy in the entire area was extremely violent, accompanied by the appearance of space cracks. If you were not careful, you would be buried in it.
Chen Lin didn't dare to go in directly, but he was prepared.
He first observed the periphery, and then found a high and secluded place to hide.
Then he took out a foundation-building puppet and a new crow puppet, combined the two together, and commanded them to enter the area of violent energy.
In preparation for this operation, he had refined many crow puppets in advance, but the crow puppets were too fragile, so he had to equip them with a foundation-building puppet to cast an energy shield for protection, otherwise they would be torn to pieces by the violent energy as soon as they entered.
After the puppet combination went in, Chen Lin lay there motionless, observing the situation inside through the vision of the crow puppet.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after this pair entered, a milky white light appeared in his field of vision. The foundation-building puppet was a little slow in dodging and was hit by the white light.
The puppet shield was useless in the face of this white light and was instantly cut in half.
Chen Lin was very depressed. His luck was so bad.
This white light is a space crack. Not to mention a foundation-building puppet, even a Jindan cultivator would not be able to defend against it. This is also the main reason why he is unwilling to enter in person.
The foundation-building puppet was destroyed. Without the protection of the light shield, the crow puppet did not last long in the turbulence and also turned into pieces.
Chen Lin could only take out another pair of combinations and continue exploring in another location.
In the center of the secret realm.
Dozens of monks stood scattered in different locations, looking at the ruins in front of them.
This is the location of the ancient palace of Hanhai Kingdom.
According to historical records, although this ancient imperial palace had suffered a certain degree of damage, the main body of some buildings were still intact thanks to the blessing of the formation, and it was definitely not razed to the ground as it is now.
Everyone came here to hunt for treasure, but now the most important treasure location is gone, and they are in danger, so no one looks happy.
Especially those who spent a lot of money to buy keys from other people were extremely depressed.
Some people who were unwilling to give up were still searching in the ruins, but they did not find any fragments of the treasure.
On a hill not far away.
The man in green, with only white bones left in his arms, looked around the crowd with a grim gaze, but he didn't see the person he was looking for, and the anger on his face began to emerge again.
The golden lotus seeds were extremely important to him, and he risked his life to come in just for this thing. He didn't expect that the thing he had already got was snatched away by a foundation-building cultivator. How could he not be extremely angry
"Hmph, don't let me find you, or I'll tear your tendons and skin you alive!"
He snorted coldly.
Just then, a foundation-building cultivator flew towards the ruins from not far away. He transformed himself into a giant black hand and grabbed the cultivator. Without waiting for the cultivator to say anything, he crushed the cultivator to pieces.
Then it turned into a black light and flew away.
As soon as his figure disappeared, a huge ball flew over from a distance, bringing with it a boundless sense of oppression.
"Oh no, that monster is coming!"
As soon as this thing appeared, all the cultivators screamed and scattered like birds and beasts. No one, whether they were foundation-building cultivators or golden elixir cultivators, dared to stay where they were.
However, the speed of the ball was also extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived above the ruins, and then a crack appeared in the middle, which slowly opened and turned into a huge and boundless bloody mouth.
This mouth was like a black hole, with infinite suction. The monks who ran a little slower were immediately sucked into the mouth by this suction.
There were screams all at once.
Chen Lin changed his hiding place again.
This was the tenth location he had changed in eight days, basically covering every direction around this violent area, but the detection results were not ideal.
Although he did obtain some rare treasures, he did not have the spiritual medicine with extreme yin attributes that he needed most. Instead, he obtained a spiritual herb with extreme yang attributes of a sufficient level!
This really made him very depressed.
At this time, more than ten foundation-building puppets have been destroyed, and only the last two are left. If the required elixir can no longer be found, he must either go in and explore in person or continue searching elsewhere.
But if he left this place, he wouldn't know where the extremely Yin elixir was. If he looked for it randomly, not only would the chance of finding it be very small, it would also be too dangerous.
During these days, he saw the huge spherical monster flying in the sky more than once, so he didn't dare to stay on the ground. Instead, he dug a hole and hid underground to avoid being discovered.
Suddenly, Chen Lin frowned and his expression turned ugly.
This puppet duo was destroyed again.
The deeper he went, the more space cracks there were. Even if he concentrated his attention and did not dare to be distracted in the slightest, he still could not avoid them all.
There was only one foundation-building puppet left. Chen Lin did not change the location but took it out and released it directly.
He has decided that if there is no result this time, he will hide here until the secret realm opens and not take any more risks.
Now that he has obtained the most yang elixir, only the last most yin elixir is left. No matter how scarce it is, he can get it as long as he is willing to pay the price. There is no need to take the risk and search here like a headless fly.
"Huh?"
Chen Lin, who was lying in a hole underground, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes.
This time, he was lucky enough that the foundation-building puppet actually passed through the dense space cracks and came to the deepest part of this violent area.
Then he showed a look of shock, and then turned into ecstasy.
Miraculous medicine!
They are all elixirs!
In this deep valley, there is a spring, and countless magical herbs grow around it, like a magical herb garden.
Chen Lin was so excited that he almost jumped out of the pit, but his face changed the next moment.
He didn't know if it was because the distance was too far or the energy interference at the center was serious, but the connection between him and the puppet was slowly weakening and was about to disappear.
This took him by surprise, and he immediately gave the foundation-building puppet an order to collect the elixir on its own and then return carefully. Then the sensing was interrupted.
Without any sense of what was going on inside, Chen Lin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
It just so happens that this is the last foundation-building puppet, otherwise we could send another group in to provide support.
It took him a long time to calm himself down.
Without the materials, it is impossible to refine the puppet again. We can only wait here and hope that the puppet's luck will be as good as when it went in, and it can come out safely.
Fortunately, the demon souls used in this batch of puppets are spiritual enough and have strong autonomous mobility, so there is no need to worry about them not knowing how to return on their own.
Such waiting is torture.
It was so painful to see those densely packed spiritual herbs but not be able to direct them to pick them.
Then Chen Lin became worried that the puppet would be clumsy and damage the important spiritual medicine. He was even more worried that the spiritual medicine would be collected but not brought out, or even destroyed in the space cracks. In that case, it would be better not to pick them.
Time passes little by little as I worry about gains and losses.
Chen Lin's expression became increasingly ugly, but he forced himself not to go in personally.
Half an hour.
One hour.
Two hours.
After half a day, Chen Lin finally couldn't hold on any longer and crawled out of the pit.
But he hesitated and did not go in to provide support.
The interruption of the connection between him and the puppet was caused by the interference of the energy flow when the puppet entered the central area. As long as the puppet left the central position, he would naturally be able to sense it, so there was no need for him to go in to respond.
On the contrary, if the puppet does not come out from the center, it will be useless for him to go in, unless he dares to take a huge risk and enter the central area.
"Forget it. Safety is the most important thing. We can't let the treasures make us lose our minds."
Chen Lin secretly warned himself not to be impulsive and returned to the pit.
Time passed slowly again.
Just when he had given up hope, his expression suddenly changed, and the connection between him and the foundation-building puppet appeared again!
This made him overjoyed, but he soon discovered that the crow puppet's sensing did not appear and he could not observe the specific situation. The foundation-building puppet did not have the function of shared vision.
He could only continue to wait anxiously, but as he could sense that the foundation-building puppet was getting closer, his heart became more and more relaxed.
Finally, as Chen Lin was eagerly waiting, the figure of the foundation-building puppet flew out from the violent area, came in front of him and handed him a storage bag.
"Well done. I'll make you a female puppet as your Taoist partner when I get back!"
Chen Lin took the storage bag and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, and then he praised the foundation-building puppet.
"Haha, you were hiding here. It was really easy for me to find you!"
Just as Chen Lin excitedly put away the puppet and storage bag, a cold voice suddenly appeared from high in the sky.
His face changed drastically and without hesitation he used the Thunder Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of lightning and disappearing on the spot.
"Humph, you still want to run? Dream on!"
The man in green looked down at Chen Lin's escaping light, snorted coldly, and shot out a black light.
Chen Lin had just begun to comprehend the Thunder Escape Technique. After escaping for a distance, he paused. Just as he was about to activate it again, he felt a creepy breath rushing towards him. In desperation, he immediately released the Heavy Mountain Shield to block in front of him.
This top-grade defensive spiritual weapon was like a piece of paper and was easily pierced through. Then the black light hit Chen Lin.
A ball of white light immediately burst out from Chen Lin's body. The one-time defensive treasure that he had bought at a high price before entering the secret realm took effect and blocked the black light again.
But the black light was so powerful that it still broke through the white light's defense and hit him.
Even though Chen Lin had seized the opportunity to perform the Golden Body Transformation and activate the power of the Dharma Image, the black light still pierced through his chest, leaving a bloody hole.
However, this action still allowed him to avoid vital points, and Wu Mang's own power was weakened, so no fatal injuries were caused.
