The two men walked in silence for about a mile, away from the city gate, and the Horse-Faced Guard suddenly stopped.
"Why don't you leave?" Shen Luo came to him and asked puzzledly.
"Let's take a different route." The Horse-Faced Soul-Catching Demon said with a mysterious smile.
Shen Luo looked around and saw that there was only one road under his feet. Change the road? What road should he change
While he was wondering, he saw the Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Demon holding a yellow talisman in his hand. He suddenly slapped his shoulder and grabbed his shoulder.
"Walk."
Just as the Horse-Faced Guard let out a low shout, Shen Luo suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet become as soft as mud. Before he could react, he was wrapped in a layer of yellow light and sank into the ground.
"The art of escaping the earth?"
Shen Luo was extremely surprised, but his body was dragged by the Horse-Faced Soul-Catching Demon, running wildly underground. Neither the mud nor the rocks in front of them could hinder them at all, but instead opened a passage for them.
At the same time, the soil beneath the two people rushed forward like water, carrying the two people forward at a very fast speed, several times faster than running on the ground.
While Shen Luo was still marveling at the magic of Horse-Faced Monster's earth-escaping technique, the two of them had already arrived at a cave underground.
The cave was of considerable size, with an underground river flowing through it. There was a crack above the head, through which a faint ray of light shone, illuminating the bottom of the cave with a strip of light several feet wide.
"Okay, you can just stay in seclusion here. As agreed in advance, after seven days, no matter you have broken through or not, you must immediately follow me into Cangfeng Valley." The Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Man looked at Shen Luo and said in a deep voice.
"Of course!" Shen Luo assured solemnly.
As he spoke, he took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a bright yellow pill, which was only the size of a longan seed and gave off a strong and pungent smell of sulfur.
He held his breath, raised his hand and threw the pill into his stomach. He immediately clasped his hands in front of his body, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate his breathing.
The elixir in the abdomen quickly transformed into a warm current and began to flow in the dantian.
At first, Shen Luo felt warm and comfortable, but not long after, the warm current began to merge with the magic power in his dantian. The combination of the two was like adding fuel to the fire and it suddenly became hot.
Shen Luo groaned, clenched his teeth immediately, and pinched his hands together to stimulate the hot airflow with all his strength, driving the magic power in his dantian to rush to the meridians throughout his body.
Bright veins almost visible to the naked eye appeared on its body surface, and wisps of heat began to rise from the top of its head.
The Soul-Catching Horse-Faced Guard watched from the side, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself:
"This kid looks average in talent, but his magic power is so skillful that he doesn't look like a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. I thought that at least 80% of the power of the Yin Ling Pill would be wasted on this kid, but now it seems that may not be the case."
How could he know that Shen Luo had already become a great cultivator who had cultivated to the out-of-body stage in his dream, and was naturally very familiar with the path of the magic power circulating in his body. The reason why he was not practicing fast in reality was mostly because he was hindered by his poor aptitude.
Seeing that Shen Luo was in good condition, the Horse-Faced Soul-Catcher felt relieved and walked aside to sit cross-legged in meditation.
