Chen Lin looked all around but couldn't find Yun Xiu Niang. He couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Having lived together for decades, they are like family. Even though they always quarrel and he does not completely trust each other, they have already become like family. If the other party really encounters an accident, he will be very sad.
"Embroiderer!"
"Mrs. Yun Xiu!"
He called out as he expanded his search area.
But still no results.
Chen Lin flew up, intending to look down from a high altitude to investigate, but he found that he could only reach the height of the treetops. The black fog above that was like substance. With his flesh and blood and the strength of his soul, he dared not stay there for long, and could only give up.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to take the risk and send out a bright signal, then waited where he was.
After a series of operations, Yun Xiu Niang did not appear.
Chen Lin's face was extremely gloomy.
He felt that Yun Xiu Niang would not leave on her own. If she wanted to leave him, she would not have waited until now, nor would she have stayed in such a dangerous place.
Then it can only be that he encountered danger and was captured by something.
He immediately thought of the Soul-Devouring Buddha.
But he immediately denied it. According to Yun Xiu Niang, the Soul-Devouring Buddha did not devour all souls, and that thing was targeting him, so it should not attack Yun Xiu Niang.
In addition, Yun Xiu Niang has always been by his side, so he would definitely be able to sense it if the Soul-Devouring Buddha got close to him.
So, that means there are more powerful beings in this forest!
Chen Lin's face changed and he immediately became alert.
He suddenly remembered He Jinhua's reminder. Before leaving, she said that this dense forest was very dangerous, extremely dangerous.
He didn't care at the time, thinking it was just an excuse for the other party to leave. After all, before they met him, the three of them were also preparing to fight for the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma. There was no reason for them not to be afraid before, but to be afraid after he came over.
Now it seems that the other party must have discovered something but did not dare to tell him, but was afraid of triggering the soul restriction, so he gave him a subtle reminder when he left.
After Yun Xiu Niang disappeared, Chen Lin no longer had the mood to continue looking for rare treasures. After waiting for a while and still not seeing her appear, he left a mark on a thick tree trunk, placed a communication talisman, and then went deep into the dense forest.
If the other party is still alive and was teleported to another place for unknown reasons, then considering how much importance he attaches to the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma, he will definitely go there again.
They flew all the way and soon covered a distance of about dozens of miles.
Chen Lin became more and more suspicious as he walked.
According to the map in the jade slip, if we go this deep, we should have reached the location of the Xuan Yang Ghost Ganoderma. Moreover, the place where the Xuan Yang Ghost Ganoderma grows is in the center of a large depression. The depression is full of water and there are no trees. You can see it as long as you arrive nearby. What's more, the Xuan Yang Ghost Ganoderma is a glowing magical medicine.
The most important thing is that since he entered the dense forest, he has not encountered any monsters or monks, which is also very unreasonable.
This is the Yin Realm, there must be ghosts here. Ghosts are most sensitive to anger. If this were a normal Yin Realm, they would have pounced on him if a living person like him appeared.
After changing the direction and exploring a few more times, Chen Lin finally determined that he was trapped in some kind of illusion.
Perhaps the reason he couldn't see Yun Xiu Niang was not because of Yun Xiu Niang, but because he had lost his normal perception of the outside world.
Without making any more meaningless searches, Chen Lin stood in an open area, took out all the spiritual herbs and medicines he had dug previously from his storage bag, and placed them in a row on the ground.
I used my spiritual sense to check them one by one, but found nothing abnormal.
Touching his chin, he slapped his storage bag, and a tall alchemy furnace appeared on the ground.
He picked out a few spiritual herbs and medicines from among the many spiritual herbs, took out some auxiliary materials from his own body, and began to refine the pill.
Whether these things are true or false, you will know once you try them.
After lighting a real fire at the bottom of the furnace and putting the materials into the furnace one by one, Chen Lin controlled the operation of the furnace's formation with an expressionless face, while at the same time being vigilantly on guard against his surroundings.
Soon, his expression changed.
The medicinal juice in the furnace began to tumble and then quickly shrank and solidified, forming a pill the size of an egg yolk.
The aroma of medicine is strong.
Looking at this pill, Chen Lin was a little unsure.
Since the elixir can be made into pills, it means it is not illusory. So the place where he is may not be an illusion, but he is trapped in this area by an inexplicable energy and cannot leave.
To verify, he continued to pick up the elixir and refine it.
Still successful.
Without stopping, he started to refine the third furnace.
When the refining process was almost finished, a mysterious wave suddenly appeared, and then there was a flash of light, and two identical pills appeared in the furnace!
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin finally confirmed that the elixir was real.
He was refining the Baili Pill. Although after years of continuous refining, his success rate had reached 100%, but he could only make one pill at a time. Only when his innate ability came into play would he reach the maximum success rate and produce two pills in one furnace.
The innate ability takes effect, which further proves the authenticity of the elixir.
Of course, it is also possible that his thinking is disturbed, and everything he sees and thinks is the result of manipulation.
But that would be horrible.
Chen Lin put away the alchemy furnace and elixir, took out an elixir bottle, poured all the mana-recovering elixirs in it into his mouth, then looked around, and finally grabbed the Xuanwu Shield and activated it.
The shield instantly grew larger and hovered above his head.
A shadow of the black tortoise that was several times more solid and more agile than before appeared, releasing a ball of light that enveloped him.
Chen Lin immediately rose from the ground and rushed into the sky!
As soon as he passed the treetops, he immediately felt the oppressive feeling. The black fog attacked him madly as if it had come to life, but was repelled by the light emitted by the basalt shield.
A spiritual treasure is a spiritual treasure, and its power can only be demonstrated at critical moments.
But the mana consumption is also really high.
Feeling the rapid dissipation of the magic power in his body, Chen Lin did not dare to delay. He swallowed the pill in his mouth and accelerated towards the sky.
His figure was like a glowing arrow, rising higher and higher.
suddenly.
His eyes became fierce, and he pointed three fingers at a place beside him!
Then he raised his hand, and the golden giant axe emitted a golden light and slashed forward.
The surrounding black fog was dispelled by the golden light, and a black shadow appeared. It was the black Buddha statue that looked like him in his previous life!
"It's you!"
Chen Lin was determined to kill him, knowing that the fake spiritual treasure might not cause much damage to him, so he immediately used up all his remaining soul power and launched three consecutive Soul-Destroying Fingers!
This time the Buddha statue finally couldn't hold on. It exploded with a bang and disappeared into a puff of black smoke.
Chen Lin also fell straight down from the sky because his soul power and magic power were exhausted.
Fortunately, the spirit of the Black Tortoise Shield automatically protected its master, preventing him from being corroded and killed by the black fog.
In an underground palace somewhere in the wilderness.
The withered old monk spat out a mouthful of black blood, and a look of shock and anger appeared on his face.
"Why is another one broken?"
He looked at a groove on the stone platform in front of him with confusion. The beads originally placed in it had turned into powder and could no longer be repaired.
His face suddenly became distorted and black air began to flow out of his body, covering the entire hall in black air.
It took a long time to return to normal.
"They actually completely destroyed my Soul Devouring Buddha. How could such a power appear in this world? Could it be that those guys finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take action immediately?"
The withered old monk looked at the groove and muttered to himself.
But he immediately shook his head. If those beings came from across the border, there was no way he couldn't sense them.
After a while, black gas came out of his body again, but this time only a wisp came out. After leaving the body, it turned into a human form and slowly solidified.
In the end, it turned into an avatar that was exactly the same as him!
"Go check what's going on and deal with it."
The old monk glanced at the other person, gave an order, and then closed his eyes again.
The clone gradually faded and disappeared.
…
Chen Lin fell back into the dense forest with a thud.
However, with the protection of the Basalt Shield, he was not injured, but was weak due to excessive overdraft.
He immediately took out the pill, swallowed it, and meditated to recover.
It took him a whole stick of incense to recover, and then he stood up and began to check the situation.
He first took out the elixir and Bailidan, and after checking, he found nothing unusual. Then he checked the communication talisman, and there was no change.
After hesitating for a moment, he followed the instructions on the jade map, determined the direction, and went deep into the dense forest.
What surprised him was that he didn't walk for long before he saw a large open depression. In the middle of the water there was a luminous body that looked like a small sun, illuminating the entire area.
Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma!
Without looking too closely, this thing looks exactly as described.
Chen Lin was overjoyed.
Finding this place means that he has escaped from the predicament, and it is not yet midnight, so the treasure is not yet mature and he still has a chance to fight for it!
But he did not act impulsively. Instead, he released his spiritual sense and began to search around the open area, trying to find Yun Xiu Niang.
"Which fellow Taoist is so arrogant as to use his spiritual sense recklessly?"
Just after exploring a short distance, an old voice sounded, filled with anger.
Chen Lin's heart trembled, and he quickly withdrew his consciousness, saying: "I didn't mean to offend you, but I was looking for a companion. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."
From the spiritual sense he had just sensed, there were five people on the other side, and the magic power fluctuations of each of them were extremely surging, and two of them were only higher than him.
It is not advisable to make enemies before fighting for the treasure, so he kept a low profile.
At the same time, he was secretly surprised. The news of the Xuanyang Ghost Ganoderma spread so widely that it attracted so many powerful people. He wondered if there were any Nascent Soul cultivators among them. If so, it would probably be difficult to fight for it.
Seeing Chen Lin's attitude, a cold snort came from the darkness, and there was no movement.
Chen Lin did not dare to continue investigating, but found a hidden place and waited quietly for the arrival of midnight.
