After two months, Shen Mo traveled to Youzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuezhou successively. During the period, he encountered countless dangers, but the result was not satisfactory!
He didn't even meet the Yuan Dan realm ancestors of each sect.
The building where the Ghost Corpse Gate is located has been deserted, leaving only the empty mountain gate;
From the mouths of other immortal sect monks in Youzhou, we learned that the Ghost Corpse Sect has basically completed the refining of the Tianjun Corpse Puppet, and the entire clan has moved into the Corpse Puppet's Cave Paradise.
Now where this corpse has gone, no one knows!
The same is true for the Tianjian Sect, except that they uprooted the main peak of the mountain gate and took the people and the mountain to other areas to avoid disasters.
There is also the Yanyue Gate. The mountain gate is covered by a large formation, and even Shen Mo cannot find its entrance!
Currently, only the Seven Star Altar is still contactable, but Patriarch Zhou has already visited the Yuan Dan Realm of the Seven Star Altar and has not found a useful method.
After searching for a solution to no avail, Shen Mo went to the sect's courtyard established by Patriarch Zhou and devoted himself to studying the "Anti-Dragon Curse" created by Master Cao Ren.
In his opinion, being transformed into a two-winged flying snake by the life radiation of a soaring snake and a different dragon is similar to practicing the "Dragon Transformation Curse" to become a dragon beast in the dragon pond... both are Tao bodies, and the soul appears irreversibly.
Alienation, reduced to other living beings!
If you study the "Dragon Reversal Curse" thoroughly, you might be able to rely on this method to offset the life radiation of the Soaring Snake, allowing you to freely enter and leave the mountains and river valleys.
But there is a prerequisite for practicing this method, that is, you have practiced the "Dragon Transformation Curse", and your body has shown signs of dragon transformation; and the "Dragon Transformation Curse" is a method used by Huanlongchi to select dragon species from all over the world, and not everyone can practice it.
!
Shen Mo can, by using the derivation ability of [Martial Arts], forcefully deduce the "Dragon Curse".
However, he cannot guarantee that the prerequisites for its cultivation will disappear when it is deduced to the next stage of the "Dragon Curse"...
In the past, the more than 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones needed to deduce were not a small amount;
What's more, now that his spiritual stone income has been cut off, without a large amount of spiritual stone income, he has to be more careful and use the spiritual stone resources in key areas!
Just when Shen Mo was hesitating, a disciple of the sect, following the information on the stone tablet left by Patriarch Zhou, rushed to the sect's other courtyard and visited Shen Mo.
The person who came was none other than Shen Mo's former friend, Cao Ren, who practiced the "Dragon Transformation Curse"!
"You guy... you are really lucky!"
The moment he saw Cao Ren, Shen Mo was slightly startled at first, then he welcomed him into the house with a big smile, and took out spiritual fruit delicacies, spiritual wine and other things to entertain him.
At this time, Cao Ren's appearance did not change much, but his soul fluctuations and aura became particularly powerful, and he had obviously opened up the spiritual sea.
Such a speed of cultivation is comparable to that of Shen Mo who was in the Qi Gathering Realm. Thinking about it, after practicing the "Dragon Transformation Curse" with him, his soul entered the Qingming Spiritual Realm to gain many benefits, which is inseparable!
But instead of the joy of having achieved a breakthrough, his face looked worried.
After some conversation, Shen Mo also understood the reason for his gloomy look.
First of all, he was naturally worried about his father Cao Shanyue's condition.
I don’t know if Cao Shanyue was in the sect and successfully hid in the secret realm of mountains and rivers when the Soaring Snake Dragon came, or was he swallowed by the Soaring Snake somewhere else in Qingzhou?
Secondly, there was something wrong with Cao Ren himself.
With this drastic change in the world, he realized that the connection between himself and Huanlongchi had become closer;
Not even the part of the original power left by his master Xiang Shengtian and the effect of the "Dragon Reversal Curse" could completely suppress his tendency to transform into a dragon!
While talking, Cao Ren untied his upper body robe, revealing the position of his heart, where he saw a strange scale that looked like a snake or a dragon;
Shen Mo had also seen it before, but it was different from what he had seen before. Around the scales on his heart, a circle of fine scales grew densely, which took root deep in Cao Ren's flesh and blood and spread throughout his body.
"Except when the dragon form appears again, I will lose my mind every once in a while!"
"When I woke up, I realized that during this period, I was looking for monks everywhere to spread the practice of the "Dragon Transformation Curse"."
"I have a hunch that within half a year, I will be completely transformed into a dragon beast and be captured by Huanlongchi!"
After saying that, Cao Ren raised a pot of fine wine and drank it down.
Wiping his mouth and calming down, he continued: "You told me before that you knew a senior who was good at deducing the magic of immortality, but he had to charge a sky-high price for spiritual stones every time he made a move!"
"I wonder if you can still contact him now?"
"Since I got this news, when my soul entered the Qingming Spiritual Realm, I have been collecting the immortal arts and techniques. Most of them are not high grade, but fortunately they can be resold, so I also earned a lot of spiritual skills.
stone."
"Right now, I have saved 130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
"If you can contact that senior, can you help me negotiate the price? Let him deduce the "Anti-Dragon Curse" to enhance the power of this method!"
Shen Mo shook his head and said: "As far as I know, that senior never bargains with others."
He didn't know any senior master who was good at deducing the magic of immortality. It was just a destiny of [acting in martial arts]. He couldn't reveal it to others, so he had to find an "expert" as a cover.
Seeing the disappointment on Cao Ren's face, Shen Mo hurriedly added: "I can make up for the rest of the spiritual stone gap. You can get the spiritual stone, and I will leave the other courtyard later and go to the senior's seclusion.
Look for him!"
"But right now, there is still a shortage of 70,000 to 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones..." Cao Ren's eyes lit up, but he soon hesitated again.
No matter who you are, tens of thousands of spiritual stones are not a small amount of money.
What's more, Linjiang Sect has encountered drastic changes now, and the sect's other branches are all relying on Zhou Laozu's personal wealth, so the monthly salary of the disciples cannot be paid.
After thinking about it, Shen Mo decided to tell Cao Ren in detail about the similarities and differences between Soaring Snake's life radiation alienation and the "Dragon Transformation Curse", as well as the conjecture that the "Dragon Reversal Curse" might be able to offset the power of such alienation!
"I originally intended to deduce the "Dragon Curse", so there is no need for you to feel that you are taking advantage of me."
As for what he should do next if he still cannot practice the "Dragon Curse" after derivation... Shen Mo didn't say much!
Although Cao Ren has already mastered this method, he is the best candidate to test the radiation and alienation power of the Soaring Snake;
But this move is extremely dangerous. If Shen Mo's guess is wrong, Cao Ren will instantly transform into a two-winged flying snake, which is no different from becoming the food of the owner of the dragon pond. The end will be extremely miserable!
Cao Ren was silent for a moment, and was about to say something to promise, but was interrupted by Shen Mo: "No need to say more! You have contributed more than 100,000 spirit stones, which is enough."
Then, with a complicated expression, Cao Ren took out a pile of middle-grade spiritual stones, numbering as many as 1,300.
After accepting these spiritual stones, Shen Mo left Linjiang Sect's villa;
In name, they are looking for that "senior expert", but in reality they are looking for a safe place where they can use [Martial Arts] to push the "Dragon Transformation Curse" to the next stage!
