Chapter 154: Unformed Strange Creature
Wan Yutang slapped him on the back of the head: "Most of the ghosts who stay in the underworld for a long time are ghost cultivators.
If you dare to attack casually, aren't you afraid that your yang energy will be sucked dry?
It's okay to go to a brothel in normal times, but female ghosts are out of bounds. "
"When I heard that you were coming, my grandfather immediately sent me a message asking me to keep an eye on you.
If you do something bad under my nose, grandpa will kill me. "
Judging from what he meant, Wan Yutang and Xia Longting might be cousins, or at least relatively close by blood.
Based on this calculation, Wan Yutang is the grandson or grandnephew of the vice president of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
With such a high background, he could go to a remote place like Red Wasteland to gain experience, and he could be promoted based on his meritorious service.
It can be seen that Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is still very strict in terms of rewards and punishments.
Hearing this, Xia Longting's entire face fell.
"Now that I have arrived in the Chihuang Kingdom, I thought I was freed from the clutches of that dead old man, but I didn't expect that I would be controlled even more severely."
Seeing that he was still sulking, Wan Yutang ignored him.
Everyone had nothing else to buy, so they left the ghost market and walked to the place where they came in before.
Wan Yutang took out three sticks of incense again, lit them, and stuck them on the ground.
Then, he shouted softly: "Qinghe County land, please lead the way for us."
At this moment, a suction force came and everyone appeared in the Earth Temple again.
Returning to the county town again, Liu Yuanchen felt as if he had had a dream.
Xia Longting asked: "Is there a brothel in the county?"
Wan Yutang sighed: "Yes, it's called Zuihualou. It opened not long ago."
Xia Longting was a little unhappy: "Why are there Zuihua Towers everywhere? They have all gone to the Red Wasteland, and they are still the same."
“Forget it, it’s better than nothing.
Just got the Millennium Huangjing, and I must fight for three thousand rounds. "
Liu Yuanchen cupped his hands and said: "I won't go, my eldest brother and his family are all here in Qinghe Martial Arts Academy.
I finally came here, so I went to see them first. "
…
Xia Longting and three other people went to Zuihua Tower, while Liu Yuanchen went to Qinghe Martial Arts Academy.
The supervisor of Qinghe Martial Arts Academy was a registered disciple of Bahuang Pavilion, and Liu Yuanchen asked him to be strict with Hu Zi.
Afterwards, I had a meal with my eldest brother and his family, left some training resources, and left Qinghe Martial Arts Academy.
I stopped by to visit Mo Lianshan, the magistrate of Qinghe County. After all, he had his own connections and maintained them from time to time.
Later, Liu Yuanchen left Qinghe County and came to Qingdan County.
There are two purposes for this trip. The first is to ask my uncle to help him take a look at the Yinsha tree.
The Yin evil tree contains three different energies, which is obviously quite extraordinary. At the very least, it is a mutant spiritual plant.
If mutant spiritual plants are properly cultivated, a new type of spiritual plant may be cultivated.
As for the second one, now that there is a mark of Wuyunling's Great Spiritual Vein in the Book of Earth, there is no need to wander around.
Next, he plans to practice in Qingdan Academy.
While improving your cultivation level, you can also read various classics to make up for your lack of reading.
At this time, the expansion work of Qingdan City has been almost completed.
The tall city wall encloses a huge city fifty miles square.
Now there are only monks busy on the city wall.
Judging from the posture, he should be arranging various formations.
As the capital of the Chihuang Hou Kingdom, Qingdan City will be the center of power in the entire Chihuang Plain for a long time to come.
Such an important place cannot be careless.
A complete defense system must be deployed throughout the city.
Even under the foundation, there must be formation protection.
Complete completion of the defense system cannot be achieved in three to five years.
When I arrived at the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, I saw my junior brother writing and drawing on a table with a frown on his face.
Obviously, he was stumped by the formation.
Seeing Liu Yuanchen appear, Meng Tieshan seemed to have grasped at straws.
"Senior brother, you have to save me! This formation is really too difficult."
Liu Yuanchen sighed: "Who told you to be jealous of money?"
“When I first joined the Qingdan Sect, I learned a little bit about the alchemy, talisman, and Shennong techniques.
In fact, my formation talent is pretty good, but I would rather learn the magic of agriculture.
The formation is so difficult that it is outrageous. "
"You only cultivate Gang Qi, and only after you break through the Qi Sea realm will you be born with spiritual consciousness.
Without strong enough spiritual consciousness, learning formations is even more difficult. "
"Junior brother, I can't help you, so you'd better get through it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Meng Tieshan's face turned into a bitter melon.
“I never thought that this formation could be so difficult.
Senior brother, I beg you, please find a way for me to survive! "
Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was tortured by the formation and went crazy.
After all, he is his junior brother, so he still has to help think of a solution.
"Actually, Uncle Second Master is a little jealous when he sees Master taking in two of our talented disciples.
It's just that it's hard to find suitable disciples, so I train my nephew first.
If you help my uncle find a suitable disciple, from now on, my uncle’s thoughts will be on the disciple..."
Upon hearing this, Meng Tieshan's eyes immediately glowed like a hungry wolf.
"Brother, you really saved my life! I know what to do."
Before he finished speaking, he ran out.
Liu Yuanchen was a little confused. What did his junior brother think of?
Not long after the meeting, Ling Yu walked in from outside.
Liu Yuanchen bowed and saluted: "See you, Uncle Master.
Ling Yu looked a little surprised: "You have been traveling in the past few years, and your cultivation has improved a lot."
Liu Yuanchen echoed: "It's just a small improvement, after all, I've taken a lot of Qi Hai Dan."
Now his true cultivation level has been upgraded to the late stage of Qi Sea Realm. Even if he is covered by the Dead Wood Immortality Skill, he looks like he is still at the middle stage of Qi Sea Realm, which is higher than before.
Ling Yu noticed that Meng Tieshan was not there and asked, "Where is Tieshan?"
Liu Yuanchen explained what had just happened, and Ling Yu chuckled: "Tieshan is quite filial."
Liu Yuanchen casually took out the Yinsha tree and said, "Uncle Master, I came here this time to ask you something."
Ling Yu glanced at the Yinsha wood: "Isn't this the Yinsha wood? Although it is rare, it is nothing special, right?"
Liu Yuanchen shook his head: "I already know the name of this thing from Wan Yutang.
If that's the case, there is no need for the disciple to come to you.
There is a special kind of energy in this Yin evil tree, and it is not evil energy.
I'm not sure, so I'm here to ask you for advice. "
Hearing this, Ling Yu frowned slightly: "Special energy? Yin evil wood can absorb evil spirits. The biggest difference from other plants is that it has a little more evil energy.
Normal Yinsha wood will not have other special energy. "
After saying that, he took the Yinsha wood and released his spiritual consciousness to investigate.
After struggling for more than a hundred breaths, he didn't find out anything.
"It's strange, my consciousness penetrated into this sapling, and I vaguely sensed a special energy fluctuation.
But as soon as his spiritual consciousness reached over and wanted to investigate carefully, the energy disappeared again. "
Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was also a little surprised: "Is it possible that this energy has intelligence?"
Ling Yu frowned, then clapped his hands: "Yes, maybe this energy really has intelligence and is deliberately avoiding me."
"If that's the case, you've earned it."
Liu Yuanchen was still confused: "Uncle Master, what do you mean by this?"
Ling Yu smiled and said: "You are also a native of the Red Wasteland, so you should know about strange creatures, right?"
In the past tens of thousands of years, all the races in the Red Wasteland relied on the great spiritual veins of Wuyun Ridge for their survival.
Anyone who knows Wuyun Ridge doesn't know the power of black mist and strange creatures?
"Disciple naturally knows about weird creatures. When I followed Master to Jin'ao Lake to watch the excitement, I even saw several weird creatures with my own eyes."
Ling Yu pointed at the Yinsha wood: "Maybe there is a strange yet unformed creature hidden in this thing."
After that, he took out a Bagua mirror.
He injected a burst of mana into the Bagua Mirror, and then a ray of light emitted from the mirror, shining on the Yinsha wood.
At this time, the energy flow inside the tree appears in the mirror.
Among them are the spiritual power of the Yin evil wood itself and the evil energy absorbed.
There is also a gray energy that is constantly swimming among the saplings.
Ling Yu chuckled: "Sure enough, I guessed it right, this is a strange creature that has not yet formed."
Liu Yuanchen recalled the weird creatures that his master had mentioned before, and it seemed that there were no weird creatures like vegetation.
"I haven't heard Master mention this kind of weird creature."
Ling Yu smiled and said, "Have you never heard of the famous Po Ling?"
Liu Yuanchen has naturally seen Po Ling. When he followed his master to defend against strange creatures, the first strange creature he saw was Po Ling.
Soul spirits are things derived from soul fragments and resentment. They have some low intelligence and are similar to ghosts, but they are not ghosts.
Because this thing has no foundation at all, and it cannot become a complete life on its own.
As time goes by, it gradually dissipates.
However, spiritual things will always fight to survive.
This unformed soul will also struggle to survive.
They will attach themselves to something with a heavier yin energy, survive quietly, and then gradually die.
But there are a very small number of souls who are lucky enough to have spirit races born from the negative things attached to them.
They will merge with the spiritual race that has not yet fully formed in the underworld, take the foundation of the spiritual race, and become a real life from now on.
The soul fragments fused into soul souls may contain some memories from their lifetimes.
Therefore, soul spirits may also have some special abilities.
For example, the soul that Liu Yuanchen had seen could attack the soul with cries.
Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen understood instantly: "Are you saying that this strange creature is the remnant soul attached to the Yinsha wood, and wants to use the Yinsha wood to give birth to a spirit body?"
Ling Yu nodded: "That's right. Even though this Yinsha tree is small, it is actually more than five hundred years old.
Just because it gave birth to a trace of spirituality, all the power was used to give birth to the wood spirit. "
"If this were not the case, this Yinsha tree would be at least five or six feet tall."
Liu Yuanchen is very familiar with the matter of plants and trees transforming into spirits.
The biggest characteristic of plants and trees that have the tendency to transform into spirits is their slow growth rate.
It took five hundred years for the Yinsha wood to grow this big. If there wasn't that gray energy to disrupt the situation, I'm afraid it wouldn't take long for the wood spirit to be born.
In this Yin evil wood, the vitality, evil spirit and that kind of gray energy are mixed together.
When he used his spiritual consciousness to observe before, he didn't find any tendency to transform into spirits.
Needless to say, the value of a Yinsha tree that is about to transform into a spirit.
The transformation of plants and trees into spirits essentially breaks the original shackles, and the potential for future growth is extremely high.
"Then what should I do with this evil tree?"
Ling Yu sighed: "I am also a little undecided. Now the strange creature has almost merged with the wood spirit of the Yin Sha Wood.
I don't have the ability to separate the two."
"If it is destroyed, it will be a pity for a wood spirit.
But if it is not destroyed, it may be very harmful when it grows into a soul spirit in the future."
"This thing is yours, so you should decide."
Liu Yuanchen looked at the Yin Sha Wood in front of him and was reluctant to destroy it.
Moreover, he only needed to perform the secret technique of enlightenment to completely suppress the wood spirit.
The soul spirit and the wood spirit merged into one, and they prospered together and suffered together.
If you can control the wood spirit, you don't have to worry about the soul spirit rebelling.
As long as you can ensure that it can be suppressed, even if the soul spirit takes shape, it is just the second Ming Yu.
"It takes a long time for plants to become spirits, and it should take a long time for the soul spirit to take shape.
The master said that he will come to the Red Wasteland in the future, so let's wait until he comes before making a decision."
Ling Yu nodded slightly: "In that case, you can keep it for now."
After that, he took out a small jade token: "This is a soul-suppressing talisman, which can suppress the growth of the soul spirit. You can use it."
Liu Yuanchen looked surprised: "This should be a jade talisman, right? Only a sixth-level talisman master can refine it."
Ling Yu waved his hand: "What's a mere jade talisman? Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, the formation is the most difficult.
I am a sixth-level formation master, what's the point of refining a jade talisman?"
"Use it, suppress the growth of the soul spirit, and then use the Shennong technique to maintain the Yinsha wood, maybe there is a chance to save the wood spirit."
Liu Yuanchen hung the soul-suppressing talisman on the Yinsha wood and then put it away.
Afterwards, he chatted with his second uncle in the county governor's mansion.
Not long after, Meng Tieshan brought Tie Junlan to the backyard of the County Magistrate's Mansion.
Tie Junlan was born in a commoner family and relied on her own ability to get to where she is today step by step.
With her talent, it will not be a problem for her to enter the National Academy in the future.
But if she wants to go further and enter the Daxia Academy, it is still very difficult.
Therefore, she also left the Zhennan Academy and came to the Chihuang Marquisate.
Liu Yuanchen was speechless. He had urged his junior brother to find a disciple for the second uncle, and he found Tie Junlan.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Meng Tieshan shouted: "Second uncle, I found a disciple for you.
Junior sister Tie has been learning the formation. Just by self-study, she is already a first-class upper-grade formation master.
I found a disciple for you, don't let me learn the formation in the future."
Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen and Ling Yu were a little surprised.
Tie Junlan's figure is extremely tall. Among the people Liu Yuanchen has seen, she is second only to Meng Tieshan.
Because she is a woman, she has a little disadvantage in physical strength, but it is still not to be underestimated.
Such a power-type cultivator should take the path of body refining.
Even if she is involved in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, it should be in the field of refining equipment or Shennong techniques.
Unexpectedly, she actually chose the formation.
Ling Yu just glanced at Tie Junlan and smiled: "Yes, you are born with supernatural power.
Although not as good as Tie Shan, you are also a rare good seedling, more than enough to become my disciple.
It's just that my mind is on the formation, and I have never thought about accepting disciples.
Now that I have met a good seedling, it doesn't matter if I accept it as a disciple."
"The formation is most valued for talent. If you want to become my disciple, I have to test your formation talent first."
