"Fellow Daoist He, is the Demon-Suppressing Temple still there in Black Horn City?"
Chen Lin glanced at He Jinhua and suddenly spoke.
He agreed to let the other party lead the way. With the soul restriction in place, the other party could not have any bad intentions, and his soul level was so high that even he himself didn't know what level it was. But even a Nascent Soul cultivator would certainly not be able to break the secret technique he cast.
He Jinhua slowed down when she heard Chen Lin's question and said, "The Demon-Suppressing Temple is still there, but the monks inside are gone. It is now occupied by a small sect and used as a base."
Chen Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He visited three Demon-Suppressing Temples in total, all of which were very mysterious, and he had no desire to explore them.
Even the Buddhist beads from the demon world have been sealed in a box. After so many years, the demonic energy inside is still strong, but he has never used it.
Thinking of this, he thought of Master Wan Meng again, and wondered if the other party had gone there to explore again later.
Unfortunately, the level of his Demon Realm pass was too low, and he did not have enough Immortal Stones and maps. Otherwise, he could try to bypass the Ten Thousand Souls Ridge from the Demon Realm and head to the Immortal Realm in the south.
Chen Lin thought of Niu Niu again.
He had not been able to contact the other party since he left last time. After activating the amulet, there seemed to be a barrier that prevented him from connecting to the scarecrow hut. He also wanted to go in again to see if he could find the traveling merchant and exchange for a one-armed detour!
The effect of the Soul Refining Pill is beyond imagination!
Simply allowing silver light particles to appear in the soul will have infinite benefits. If the soul can be transformed into the silver soul mentioned in the effects, or even the golden soul, I wonder how powerful it will be.
As he walked and thought, he soon entered the depths of the swamp.
"Elder Chen, the area ahead is the black fog. The toxins in the black fog are very strong. They not only corrode the flesh and blood, but also the soul. We must use mana to isolate it at all times, and we cannot use our spiritual consciousness. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to remove the toxins that contaminate our spiritual consciousness."
Hearing He Jinhua's reminder, Chen Lin glanced at the black fog in front of him and nodded.
He had already found out this information before. The reason why this place was called a dangerous place was mainly because of the black fog. Otherwise, the treasures inside would have been looted long ago.
But he was not worried, as he had already done experiments and the toxins in the black fog had little effect on him. The Vajra Body Refining Technique itself had the effect of expelling toxins, so there was no problem with his flesh and blood.
As for the soul, the silver light particles can restrain the toxin and are not affected at all.
That's why he came in to explore.
He looked at Yun Xiu Niang with a questioning look. He knew that he was fine, but he wondered if the other party could hold on.
Yun Xiu Niang pouted, hesitated, and reluctantly returned to the wooden hairpin.
As soon as he put the hairpin into his sleeve, Chen Lin heard the other party's voice transmission, "Xuan Yang Gui Zhi is very important to me, you must help me get it, and then I will give you a gift."
A look of surprise appeared in Chen Lin's eyes.
This thing seems to be really of great benefit to them, and they are even starting to promise benefits. This is really the first time in history.
He didn't say anything, but gently stroked the wooden hairpin twice, indicating that he understood.
The wooden hairpin trembled suddenly and became warm.
It’s like this every time. Even though he has caressed her countless times, Chen Lin still finds it fun.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Chen Lin turned his attention away from the wooden hairpin and looked somewhere to the side.
"come out!"
He shouted, then raised his hand and an extremely huge golden handprint slapped over.
This is the Buddhist magical power of the Vajra Seal, which covers a wide area. Because he only had a vague sense of it, he was not sure of the location.
“Whoosh!”
A black shadow more than two feet tall jumped out of the swamp and disappeared in a flash.
The energy of the big handprint created a big hole in the swamp, but it was immediately filled with black mud.
Chen Lin was a little surprised. Most Jindan cultivators would not be able to withstand his attack, but he did not expect that he did not even touch the body of the monster, and could not even tell what it was.
"Fellow Daoist He, can you see clearly what that black shadow is?"
Chen Lin asked while being alert and on guard.
The black fog became thicker as he went deeper into the ground, and his vision was only a few feet away. Although his spiritual sense was not afraid of the poison, it seemed to be suppressed, and the coverage area was limited. If he encountered danger, it would be difficult to react in time.
He Jinhua's expression became more solemn, and she shook her head and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for you, Elder Chen, I wouldn't have discovered the existence of that thing, let alone seen its appearance clearly."
Chen Lin frowned and didn't ask any more questions.
We have come this far, we can’t just go back just because a monster appears. We can only be as careful as possible.
The two walked for a while and stopped again.
A body lay on floating grass in the swamp and was slowly sinking.
"It's Master Bi Guang!"
After getting a little closer, He Jinhua spoke in a deep voice, then took out a talisman from the storage bag and slapped it on himself. His whole body was immediately covered by a layer of khaki fluorescent light, which should be a high-level defensive talisman.
"Why, this person is famous?"
Seeing the other party's behavior, Chen Lin spoke in surprise.
Then, he slapped his storage bag, took out a foundation-building puppet, and directed it to pull the corpse out of the swamp.
Then his expression changed.
The storage bag on the corpse was still there, which proved that it was not a murder and treasure-stealing incident among the monks.
Moreover, there were no scars on the opponent's body. It felt like he was killed by a spiritual attack. I don't know if it was done by the black shadow.
"He is indeed quite famous." He Jinhua also saw the storage bag and said with a strange look on her face, "This person is a casual cultivator in Black Horn. Although he is only in the late stage of foundation building, his methods are very cruel. In particular, he is good at a kind of green light escape method. Even ordinary Jindan cultivators can't stop him."
"Oh? Light Escape? That's indeed rare."
Chen Lin responded casually, then took the storage bag that the puppet brought back in his hand, wiped off the mental imprint on it, and after making sure there was no problem, he probed his spiritual sense into it to check.
Then, he put it into the package with an expressionless face.
He Jinhua didn't say anything when she saw this. She just hoped to complete this exploration safely. It would be best if she could get some treasures that could suppress her own negative energy, but if she couldn't get it, she wouldn't force it.
"Elder Chen, we are not too far from where the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma grows, but the fog there is thicker and it is also within the Yin Realm, so it is quite dangerous."
Although He Jinhua felt that Chen Lin didn't seem to care much about the toxins in the black fog, she still gave him a reminder.
Her life and death are now in the hands of others, so she should behave better in the hope that the other party will remove the soul restriction on her body before leaving.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist He, for reminding us. Let's hurry up. According to what you said, there are many people who know this information. We should not let others get there first."
Chen Lin shot out a flame, burning the corpse to ashes, with some worry in his tone.
Unexpectedly, He Jinhua shook her head and said, "Although I don't know much about the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma, Mo Jiukun said that this thing must be ripe at midnight on a full moon night, and it can only be picked at that time, not earlier or later."
Chen Lin really didn't know what this meant. After thinking about it, he realized that today was the day of the full moon, but it was still early in the evening and it was still early for midnight.
At this point, He Jinhua took out another small bottle, dripped two drops of the liquid in it on his eyes, handed it to Chen Lin and said, "Elder Chen, this is a spiritual liquid that can increase recognition ability and is also very effective for night vision. Do you need to use it?"
She used it herself first because she was afraid that Chen Lin would suspect that there was something wrong with it, but Chen Lin still waved his hand and refused.
In such an environment, vision is far less effective than spiritual awareness. Although his spiritual awareness was suppressed, it was still usable. Moreover, he had always been reluctant to handle objects of unknown origin, and he could not examine them carefully here, so he simply did not use it.
However, the other party was very well prepared. If he had not happened to appear here, the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma would probably have ended up in the hands of the three of them.
He Jinhua tactfully put the bottle away and continued to lead the way, while Chen Lin followed slowly behind.
The deeper you go, the thicker the fog becomes.
The sky also became completely dark.
If you rely solely on your sight, it is basically pitch dark.
The suppression power of the spiritual consciousness became stronger and stronger, and the range that could be detected became smaller. Chen Lin did not dare to be careless and was very careful at every distance.
He Jinhua dripped two drops of spiritual liquid into her eyes again, but it did not have much effect. In addition, they needed to use their magic power to resist the invasion of the black fog and also had to be wary of dangers that might arise at any time. The speed of their progress became slower and slower.
After flying for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at a dense forest.
Chen Lin finally let out a sigh of relief.
According to the map in the jade slip, this place is where the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma grows, and the raw materials for alchemy that he is looking for are also in this place.
The journey is extremely dangerous. There are countless strange monsters in the swamp, and they are all very secretive. They hide under the mud and will suddenly attack you when you get close, making it hard to guard against.
Moreover, the black fog became thicker and thicker as it went higher, and black clouds had already formed at the top, so much so that even he did not dare to enter it lightly.
So they could only move at low altitude, which was extremely difficult.
"Elder Chen, according to the information we have obtained, the place where the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma grows is deep in the dense forest!"
He Jinhua pointed at the woods and spoke.
Seeing that Chen Lin didn't respond, she continued, "For some reason, this dense forest often produces rare natural treasures. However, once you enter the dense forest, you will enter the Yin Realm. Countless Black Horn warriors have died in this dense forest over the years. We must be extra careful."
Only then did Chen Lin feel surprised.
Without the other party's reminder, he could also feel the special dark energy of the Yin Realm, but he was shocked by what the other party said.
The growth cycle of rare natural treasures is mostly measured in thousands of years. What kind of environment can continuously produce such treasures
But before he could ask, his expression suddenly changed and he pointed to his side!
