Chapter 387: Being deceived by the Golden elixir monk
The caravan does not have a flying boat. The team all travels by foot and can only fly at low altitudes on safe roads. No one dares to fly at high altitudes because no one knows when the space cracks will appear.
Listen to the leader’s reminder.
Shen Ping couldn't help but look into the air. His powerful consciousness could detect the fluctuations of space cracks that appeared and disappeared in the distance. In this area, even he did not dare to teleport at will. Not all of these space cracks lead to Cang. In the Lan Demon Realm, some will directly enter the Black Mist Jedi Land.
Yingyue next to her was wearing a simple pink and white embroidered skirt with a waistband, and a cloak on her head to cover her stunning appearance, but her enchanting and tall figure still attracted frequent glances from some monks.
“Husband, the highest strength of these monks is only at the Golden Core stage. If there are demon monks who appear, their cultivation level will not be much higher.”
Shen Ping nodded secretly, "We can just blend in with the caravan and don't cause too much trouble. When we get to the quarry beach, you can find a monk to use illusions to test the opponent's will."
“Yes, husband.”
Yingyue was very happy that Shen Ping took her with him on the trip. After all, her husband had many wives and concubines, including those who had been together since they were young. Her appearance could not make up for the relationship.
After five days of traveling without any danger, some monks who went to the quarry beach for the first time could not help but lower their vigilance. On the sixth day, a few unlucky guys were caught in the space rift while flying.
Although Shen Ping could detect it in advance, he didn't warn them too much. These guys were doing it themselves. Even he, the Mahayana, was flying at low altitude, unlike them who had to commit suicide.
Yingyue followed Shen Ping closely.
During this period, there were no monks who did not open their eyes.
Ten days later.
There was still half a day's journey from the quarry beach, but unexpectedly, he encountered Jie Xiu.
"Take out all the stored magic weapons. We won't hurt your lives, we are just asking for money."
There were four plunderers, two of them were Jindan human monks, and the other two were from other races, and their cultivation levels were also Jindan. There were six Jindan in the caravan, but these robber cultivators had already arranged a trap here. The formation and killing formation, if you really work hard, the golden elixir of the caravan may be fine, but the rest of the foundation building will definitely be in danger.
Shen Ping looked at these robbery cultivators with great interest. They had good hiding methods, and the leader of the caravan didn't even notice them, so he got the idea.
“Several fellow Taoists.”
"Our caravan often travels on this road. Since you set up an ambush near the quarry beach, you should have come out of the quarry beach. It is inevitable that you will take this road again in the future. Everyone, don't look up and see each other. So, let's How about each giving out five hundred spiritual stones and each going his own way?"
The leading late-stage Jindan monk stepped forward with a smile and said.
“Five hundred spiritual stones? Huh, who are you sending? One thousand each!”
There are a total of twenty-three monks in the caravan, with more than 20,000 spiritual stones. This is a huge sum of spiritual stones in a remote place in the western region of the Abyss of Darkness, and even the poorest golden elixirs cannot afford it.
Therefore, these words made the six golden elixirs frown, and the foundation-building monks even looked ugly. If they really wanted to take it, they could take it out, but the loss would be considerable. A medium-quality silver-grained evil wood was found in Quarry Beach. The market value is six hundred spirit stones.
Yingyue said with a smile: "Husband, I guess we will definitely take action in the end. These robbery cultivators have ordinary magic aura and average foundation, but the leader has a strong foundation. If they really fight against each other, the foundation builder may die. But these tribulation cultivators will definitely not get any favors."
Shen Ping doesn't have much experience in this kind of scenario, but he also agrees that some foundations will die. Most of the monks are selfish, and the golden elixirs in the caravan will not care about the life and death of the foundations. They are conscientious if they don't take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
“Husband, do you want me to take action?”
Yingyue asked.
Shen Ping thought for a while and said, "Just don't kill anyone. Quan should be a good karma."
“Yingyue understands.”
The sound transmission room between two people.
The leader of the caravan and the other golden elixirs looked at each other. As their eyes gathered together, they had already discussed the countermeasures. They first pretended to agree, and then after taking out the spirit stones, they suddenly took action, obviously preparing to break through the formation and destroy the other structures. Ji's spiritual stone was swept away.
Boom!
All kinds of magic weapons flashed for a while.
The fluorescence of the trapping formation and the killing formation was trembling even more, and was broken by the golden elixir of the caravan in almost a few breaths.
The four Tribulation Cultivators also had embankments, but they did not dare to fight with the golden elixir and focused on taking care of the foundations. However, when they were killing the foundations, they were suddenly stunned. The mana and magic weapons in their bodies were out of control, and there was something in the sea of consciousness. A lotus blooms.
Come back to your senses.
They didn't realize that they had encountered a master, so they didn't dare to stay any longer and fled one after another.
At this time, only Shen Ping, Yingyue, and those foundation-building monks who were too weak to escape were left in the broken formation. Although these monks didn't know why the four calamity cultivators escaped, they vaguely guessed something. Look, Shen Ping and Yingyue, who were standing calmly, came over to salute one after another without hesitation, "Thank you, senior, for saving your life."
Shen Ping waved his hand casually, "Which of you has been to Quarry Beach?"
Soon a female nun came forward and said, "Junior has been there and we will arrive in half a day."
“Lead the way.”
With the female cultivator leading the way, the group of people soon arrived at Caishitan. After they left, the female cultivator introduced herself and said, "Two seniors and juniors are quite familiar with Caishitan. If you need anything, But just ask."
“No need.”
The nun was a little disappointed and had no choice but to leave.
“He is a smart young man.”
Yingyue smiled and said, "If she can get married with her husband, her cultivation path will be much smoother."
Shen Ping nodded noncommittally, then squinted his eyes in recognition.
simultaneously.
When it enveloped the entire Caishitanfang City, he immediately felt the impact of evil spirits mixed with resentful spirits constantly infiltrating his consciousness, but this evil impact was too weak for him.
Yingyue also felt it quickly. She said in amazement: "This place is indeed special. The impact of this evil spirit is not strong. If you survive in this environment for a long time, your will and consciousness will be tempered, and the evil spirit permeating the environment will , should be the source of the birth of the silver-grained evil wood."
Shen Ping looked at the area in the middle of the city and said, "Let's go and find the monk with the strongest evil aura to ask about the situation."
With their cultivation level, they could easily sense the one with the strong evil spirit among all the monks in the city. When they arrived at his residence, the other party still didn't notice anything.
“The late Jindan period.”
“There are no Nascent Soul monks in this city, and those in the late Golden Core stage should be the strongest.”
Yingyue looked at the white-haired old man.
Shen Ping said calmly: "Although there is silver-grained evil wood here, the cultivation environment is extremely harsh and there is an impact of evil energy. It is difficult for the foundation-building monks to practice here. Naturally, the Nascent Soul monk will not come. Okay, let's ask. "
Yingyue nodded, her eyes surging with slight fluctuations.
The gray old man who was sitting cross-legged in retreat immediately fell into the illusion cast by Yingyue.
“Where is the source of the evil spirit in Quarry Beach?”
"In Chaos Kong Forest, there is a lot of space turbulence and gravel, and the impact of the evil energy is very strong. Even Nascent Soul monks have a hard time getting close. I was lucky enough to go in once, but I could only stay on the edge and couldn't get close to the depths... "
This grizzled old man told everything he knew without any resistance at all.
Yingyue smiled and said: "Husband, it seems that the monks here are not strong-willed."
Shen Ping rolled his eyes. How could a golden elixir resist the illusion cast at the virtual refining level? "Ask him if I can go in again?"
The gray old man said: "We are only 60% sure. It is very dangerous inside. If you are in the wrong position, you will be attacked by space turbulence." "60% sure... give it a try and let him lead the way."
For a moment.
Shen Ping and Yingyue followed the grizzled old man out of the quarry beach and walked along a suspended stone road to Luan Kong Forest.
The Black Mist Jedi is a void space, and there are islands made of various stones in it. This stone road becomes narrower as you go deeper. It was originally a road made by the monks from the quarry beach who went out to look for the accumulation of silver-grained evil wood. No one dares to go deep.
Come to the end.
The gray old man said: "Ahead is the void of the Black Mist Jedi Land. You must prepare enough pills to restore your mana before you can enter."
"Continue to go."
Flying on the magic weapon.
The two of them could clearly feel that the impact of the evil energy around them was getting stronger and stronger, and the space had become unstable. After two cups of tea, the gray old man's mana was exhausted. This was because Shen Ping took him with him. If The gray old man alone wouldn't be able to hold on to half a cup of tea.
After restoring mana.
The three of them continued to move forward.
After five days of stopping and marching like this, a large number of rocks appeared in front of them, each of which was several kilometers wide.
“This is a rocky area, where most silver-grained evil trees grow, but not many monks dare to come in…”
Shen Ping and Yingyue knew the reason. In the past five days, they had encountered no less than a hundred spatial turbulences, which were so fast that it was difficult for ordinary Jindan monks to avoid them.
Step on the boulder.
The two people soon saw the evil trees that were like towering giant trees. Each tree had a strong evil spirit on its surface. Even if its spiritual consciousness came into contact, they would feel dizzy. Those with a slightly weaker will would be directly affected by the evil spirit. Invasion, becoming the walking dead.
Once they become evil spirit puppets, they will be controlled by evil spirits. After walking for half a day, they saw a few unlucky evil spirit puppets. However, these puppets were very average in strength and could be easily eliminated by Ying Yue alone without Shen Ping taking action.
“Ahead of the rocky belt is the Chaotic Sky Forest. The space in this area is more turbulent, like a jungle. There are also space vortexes in it. Only by entering a specific space vortex can you reach the source area of the evil spirit."
The gray old man said while searching.
And Shen Ping's pupils were filled with red streaks. Through the pupils of the sea beast, he quickly locked a space vortex from a large amount of space turbulence. The evil energy in its vicinity was the highest. Judging from the extent, it could even Affects refining the void.
At this time, the gray old man set his sights on another spatial vortex. Although the evil spirit was very strong near this vortex, besides the evil spirit, there was also a very dark atmosphere.
If it weren’t for the eyes of sea beasts.
Shen Ping couldn't detect this dark atmosphere at all.
“Are you sure it’s this whirlpool?”
Avoiding many spatial turbulences along the way, the three of them stood in front of the spatial vortex. Shen Ping looked at the gray old man.
The old man with the lace nodded his head repeatedly.
Poof!
Shen Ping waved his hand and a ray of mana came out, directly cutting off one of the old man's arms, "Are you still sure now?"
Yingyue beside her was startled, and then she realized something and stared closely at the gray old man, "You can actually resist my illusion?!"
The gray old man screamed and shook his head, "Senior, please spare your life, Senior, please spare your life!"
There was no controlled expression like before.
This made Yingyue's face look a little ugly, "A monk in the late stage of Jindan actually resisted the illusion with his will. This place is really weird and special."
“Husband, if it wasn’t you, we would have been deceived by him.”
Shen Ping nodded, "Tell me, what is in this whirlpool?"
“It’s an evil spirit!”
"As long as you enter, you will be attacked by a large number of evil spirits. Even the monks who transform themselves into gods cannot escape."
The gray old man dared not hide it anymore.
Shen Ping said in surprise: "Why aren't you afraid of evil spirits?"
“Me, I was lucky enough to get a ten-thousand-year-old silver-patterned evil wood in the rock zone area, which can help me resist the attack of evil spirits.”
Yingyue sneered: "This old guy should have tricked other monks."
Shen Ping became interested, "Being able to resist your illusion shows that the evil spirit here can indeed sharpen one's will and continue to lead the way."
This time, the grizzled old man did not cheat again, but led Shen Ping and Yingyue into the whirlpool with the strongest evil aura.
brush.
Step into the vortex.
Like a space transformation, the vision suddenly became brighter, and it was no longer a dark void.
Hum~
at the same time.
Songs of strong evil spirits swept over from afar.
Yingyue frowned, "The evil spirit here has already affected me."
The gray old man said quickly: "Ordinary people who enter the Golden Core Yuanying will die. I relied on the ten-thousand-year-old silver-patterned evil wood to resist it. After that, I have been honing here for hundreds of years, and my will has transformed... The further I go, the stronger the impact of the evil energy. Strong, even if there is ten thousand years of silver-grained evil wood, I can only walk a few feet away."
Listen to this.
Yingyue walked ten feet forward, her body started to shake, and her face showed a bit of pain.
Shen Ping raised his hand and pulled him back, letting him sit cross-legged and rest first, while he continued to walk forward. As the gray old man said, with every step he walked, the intensity of the evil energy impact would increase, but it would not affect him.
Ten feet.
Fifty feet.
Hundred feet away.
At this distance, the evil spirit kept impacting his spiritual sea of consciousness, like a sharp knife, causing the entire sea of consciousness to vibrate.
He gritted his teeth and continued walking.
After walking another ten feet, the impact had infected the sea of consciousness, but it was not yet within the limit of endurance. However, Shen Ping stopped, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and used his spirit to resist the impact of the evil spirit.
When Yingyue, who was resting, saw this scene, she knew that her husband was going to sharpen his will here, so she simply took the gray old man back to the edge of the whirlpool to wait.
Time passes little by little.
Hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Ping walked another five feet forward. He could clearly feel that his will was constantly improving, which made him smile. This time, he went directly to the limit of what he could bear. The strong impact made him realize Haidu was on the verge of collapse, as if facing the pressure of that strange beast's consciousness.
