Chapter 139 Escape and Return

Chen Luo, who temporarily suppressed his injuries, let out a long breath.

He stood up and looked at the spiritual medicine garden where the old ghost and the others had gone before. The sound over there had become much quieter at this moment, and he didn't know if it was all cold.

Chen Luo had no intention of going in to find out what was going on. He took out a pill, simply restored a little spiritual power, and then turned and walked down the mountain. With the experience just now, he would definitely find the way down the mountain this time.

The brain of the foundation formation master started to work.

'Stop. '

When Chen Luo walked to the corner and was about to move forward, the foundation formation brain suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He stopped and found a golden mark under a small stone. This mark was very similar to the immortal text he had learned before, but it was a little different. At this moment, this mark was emitting a weak power, affecting the environment of the path. The previous time he was guided to the thatched cottage courtyard was the effect of this mark.

With Chen Luo's current knowledge, there was no way to break this mark, but he could use this mark to distinguish the direction.

‘Go left thirty steps, go straight.’

After searching for a while, the foundation-building cultivator’s brain successfully found the correct direction.

Chen Luo looked over and found that this direction was full of broken stones and poisonous miasma, and there was no place to land at all.

He walked over to test it, and finally gritted his teeth and walked up against the broken stones and poisonous miasma.

When he stepped on this area, the familiar feeling came to his mind again, which was the effect of the formation. When all the feelings disappeared, Chen Luo found himself back in Guoshan County.

The place where his feet stood was the end of the street.

The dilapidated restaurant was still shaking, just like what he saw when he went up the mountain, the signboard was shaking, and the wooden door opened and closed.

“Wang Tianji, you dog thief, I won’t die. Ah!!”

Before Chen Luo left, an angry roar suddenly came from the mountain behind him. Then he saw Lu Zhaotian rushing out of the formation with a compass in his hand, followed by two people.

It was the old ghost of the mummy and Wang Tianji.

The injured Sun Ji's whereabouts were unknown.

Wang Tianji, who escaped, had a gloomy face, lost a lot of weight, and his hands were stained with blood. Considering the screams heard before, we can roughly guess something.

After the two men rushed out of the formation, they didn't even look at Chen Luo, and ran straight to the entrance of Guoshan County.

"Run, there's a big guy behind us!!"

Only the old ghost with a mummy had a flash of surprise in his eyes after seeing Chen Luo, but it soon turned into anxiety. After giving a reminder, he ran with the two people in front.

Chen Luo was not stupid either. Seeing this scene, he naturally flew up immediately and ran forward with the three people. Lu Zhaotian had the formation compass in his hand, and following him would definitely be able to successfully leave Guoshan County.

Roar! ! !

Just a moment after the three of them left, a wave of vibration came from the formation behind them, and a giant monster covered in black mist came out from it. The monster was nearly eight meters long, and its body was made of rocks. It was holding a twisted and deformed corpse in its hand.

It was the disappeared Sun Ji.

With the appearance of this giant monster, the ground of the entire Guoshan County shook, and the nearest restaurant collapsed directly. The broken wood chips were wrapped in the black air and adhered to the monster's body, making his already exaggerated body grow two meters taller.

The few people who were running subconsciously looked back and felt even more scared.

The aura of this monster completely exceeded the perfection of Qi Refining. Under his influence, half of the sky in Guoshan County turned black. In the black air, the mountain spirit woman and the young scholar were looming, and there were a lot of ghosts and monsters mixed in, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

"How did you get out?"

The old ghost looked at Chen Luo who followed behind and asked.

He remembered that Chen Luo did not have the formation compass in his hand. If the three of them had not been lucky enough to follow Lu Zhaotian, they would have confessed long ago. After the formation is fully activated, it is like a maze, and they must rely on the formation disk to have a chance to escape.

What Lu Zhaotian prepared with ten years of hard work was very useful.

"I guessed it."

Chen Luo was too lazy to explain, and then replied.

"Where is your refined corpse? And how come fellow Daoist Wang has lost so much weight."

He noticed the changes in the three people. Compared with the previous separation of the second medicine garden, they were in a miserable state.

The precious refined corpse of the mummy old ghost was gone, and Wang Tianji had lost a lot of weight, from a round fat man to a skinny thin man, and the leader Lu Zhaotian was not much better. Don't look at his current momentum, that is the result of calling the life-threatening secret method. When the secret power is exhausted, he may not even be able to fly.

"There is a monster sleeping in the third medicine garden, the guy behind you, we were all attacked by that monster."

The mummy old ghost looked ugly. He suffered a big loss this time. The corpse in the corpse bag was almost destroyed, and even his life corpse puppet was eaten by the big guy behind him.

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Chen Luo.

There were five people in the group, but only Chen Luo did not go in. Recalling the "evil spirit" that Chen Luo asked him before entering the third medicine garden, the old ghost of the mummy felt more and more wrong.

'Could this thing behind be the evil spirit? '

But it was not good to ask more at this time. After all, the four of them ran away first, and it was their bad luck to be tricked.

"We're here!"

Lu Zhaotian, who was holding the formation plate, said something, and then he hit the stone wall in front of him. The whole person seemed to have turned into light, distorting for a moment and then disappearing into thin air.

"Leave me alone!!!"

Sun Ji, who was pinched by the troll, stared at the four people with his face covered in blood, and his resentful eyes seemed to have turned into reality. It's a pity that Chen Luo and the four of them are not weak, so this look was ignored by them.

The three of them followed Lu Zhaotian and hit the wall.

The giant monster's slap behind him finally came down, and the terrifying black energy hit the wall hard. Unfortunately, no matter how angry it was, its power couldn't penetrate it. Everything was blocked by the formation.

A familiar sense of distortion came, and when he came back to his senses, four people had appeared outside Guoshan County.

The bright sunshine shone down from above, making several people feel dazed.

The sun and the moon were invisible in Guoshan County before, but after I came out, I realized that it was already bright outside.

"Hahaha!! Finally escaped."

Wang Tianji, who looked gloomy, collapsed on the ground and laughed loudly. On the other side, the old mummy ghost was also sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.

Lu Zhaotian was even worse. In order to escape from Guoshan County, he used a secret method. After rushing out, he hit the tree in front and passed out.

"Spirit Condensing Grass, yes!! My Condensing Spirit Grass."

After Wang Tianji finished laughing, he quickly reached out to his chest and grabbed a blood-stained spiritual grass from inside.

Even he himself didn't notice that when he touched the Ningshen Grass, his pupils turned dark red unconsciously. The red light flashed away, and no one noticed it, not just him, but also the old mummy ghost and Lu Zhaotian, but the strength was different, and the red light on the old mummy ghost was the weakest.

‘The evil spirit is possessed, and the life is not long. The foundation building that majors in the soul can be suppressed. If a golden elixir monk takes action, he will be safe. ’

In Chen Luo's mind, the mummy brain fed back an idea.

"Possessed by an evil spirit?"

Chen Luo's heart trembled, and he quietly distanced himself from the three of them.

"Didn't you find the Ningshen Grass?"

The mummy old ghost did not notice these details. He was now immersed in the joy of escaping from death and harvesting the Concentrating Grass.

"No."

Chen Luo shook his head.

He sensed the Ningshen Grass in his storage bag and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had brought it out.

"I happened to grab an extra portion here, take it."

The old mummified ghost said as he took out a portion of the Ningshen Grass from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Luo. His behavior surprised Chen Luo. It seemed that the old mummy ghost really regarded him as a friend.

After taking a look at the Ningshen Grass in the hands of the mummy old ghost, Chen Luo shook his head and refused.

"Forget it, I have another way."

The mummy old ghost didn't say much when he saw this, and put the Condensing Grass away again.

The four of them rested for a while. His condition finally improved a lot, and Lu Zhaotian also woke up from his coma. His face was frighteningly white, like a tuberculosis ghost who had overindulged in sex. Wang Tianji was not much better. In order to escape for his life, he separated his flesh and blood, avoided the fatal blow, and also trapped Sun Ji.

Although he managed to survive, the injuries remained.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is an alchemist?"

Lu Zhaotian looked at Chen Luo and asked. The old mummy's attitude was so strange that he saw some clues.

"yes."

"Can I refine the Foundation Building Pill?"

"Can."

Chen Luo nodded. He understood the meaning of Lu Zhaotian's question and had no hidden thoughts. These three people have been practicing for longer than him and have accumulated a lot of experience. They are potential big customers.

This trip to Guoshan County was very exhausting, and it will take a long time to recover after returning.

In the end, the magical power of the Thatched House Foundation Establishment monk still remains in his body. Although the injury has been suppressed, resources are needed to recover.

"Then when I recover, I'll find my Taoist friends to make elixirs." Lu Zhaotian stood up and saluted Chen Luo solemnly.

"The price is twice what it is on the market."

"Easy to say."

"I'll come too." Wang Tianji also stood up and exchanged polite words with Chen Luo. The two talked for a few more words, exchanged contact information with Chen Luo, and then flew away. Chen Luo and the mummy old ghost were left standing there.

The cold wind blew by, picking up the clothes of the two of them.

"Everyone has left, can we talk now? Did you discover anything before? There is also Xie Sha."

The old mummy suddenly spoke.

"Go back first. Anyway, be careful." Chen Luo glanced at the old mummy ghost but did not explain.

He didn't know what state the evil spirit possessed, so the mummy's brain gave a reminder and then stopped responding. Chen Luo didn't know the details, so he could only say this.

Hearing Chen Luo's reminder, the mummy old ghost's heart sank.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the things inside had left a trail on them.

But now that it's come to this point, there's nothing he can do.

We can only take one step at a time.

The two people flew up, using their spiritual power to fly towards the direction of Mushan City where they came from.

Half a month later.

Mushan City.

Chen Luo woke up from seclusion and sensed his physical condition.

The magical power left in his body by Cao Wu Ji Zhu was completely expelled, and his physical condition returned to its peak. The only troublesome thing is the curse. The finger that the foundation-building monk placed between the straw man's eyebrows is the real troublesome part.

During this period, he has been suppressing it with the divine soul technique. But even so, there is no way to completely eradicate the remaining power of the curse. After grinding for so long, it has only been worn away a little, and it is far from being fully restored.

The most troublesome thing was that after he came back, he asked Zhu Jie about the nourishing pill that Mummy Brain mentioned. It turned out that the 'Nourishment Pill' turned out to be a second-level elixir, and only alchemists in the foundation-building stage were qualified to refine it. The price of a single elixir outside is even more horrifyingly expensive, and in many cases it may not be possible to buy it even if you have spiritual stones.

For Chen Luo, this plan suddenly lost its meaning.

If he had the strength to build a foundation, would he still need to take risks in Guoshan County? So after learning the level of the Nourishing Pill, he immediately gave up this plan.

‘Boiled with ink dragon beard juice, supplemented by divine soul skills, it can speed up recovery. ’

Fortunately, the mummy brain came up with a second plan.

Black Dragon Beard is much cheaper in comparison and can be purchased during the Qi Refining Period. Chen Luo asked Zhujie to buy a lot for him during this period.

"I can only endure it slowly."

Chen Luo sighed, walked to the side, threw the Mo Long Xu into the stove, and started to cook it over low heat. After a while, the color of the water inside slowly turned into inky black, and a strong demonic aura escaped from it. Chen Luo picked up the juice and drank it in one gulp.

Sitting cross-legged, the spiritual power in the body began to flow, and the soul technique moved to the center of the eyebrows.

With the power of the potion, the evil curse lingering between the eyebrows began to be slowly erased. An hour later, the power of the concoction was exhausted. Chen Luo slowly recovered from his cultivation state, sensed the evil curse that was slightly fainter between his eyebrows, and continued to boil the concoction.

"The Foundation Establishment Pill is almost ready to be refined."

Three days later, Chen Luo could no longer erase the evil curse. The magical power that the Foundation Establishment cultivator penetrated into the body was not easy to solve, so he took advantage of his good condition in the past two days to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill first.

He took out the Ningshen grass and other medicinal materials and placed them on the table.
