About five or six minutes later, the middle-aged man's bloodless face gradually became more rosy, and his original weak breath gradually recovered.
Not long after, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and took a breath. His body was still quite weak, but his life was saved.
"Husband, how are you?" The female cultivator's pretty face showed a hint of joy, and she hurriedly helped the middle-aged man up.
"Don't worry, madam, I'm fine. Could it be that this senior saved me?" the middle-aged man said breathlessly.
He could feel that there was a pill in his body that was working just now. It could only be the medicine given by Shen Lang.
"Yes, it was this senior who saved you!" The female cultivator lowered her eyebrows at Shen Lang, full of gratitude.
"I can't repay you for saving my life. Thank you, junior." The middle-aged man struggled and kowtowed to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang didn't like nonsense, so he waved his hand directly and said: "No need to worship me, I just happened to pass by here and rescued you. I have a few questions that I want you to answer truthfully."
The middle-aged man immediately clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know!"
The female nun was obediently waiting beside the middle-aged man, looking gentle, virtuous, and like a little bird.
"What continent is this and where is this canyon?" Shen Lang asked.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, a little surprised as to why Shen Lang asked such an idiotic question.
"Going back to our ancestors, this is the Beiliang land in Yunjian continent, and this valley is the Huanyin Valley at the end of the Beiliang land." The middle-aged man explained.
"Yunjian Continent?"
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he had really been teleported to a new continent.
Shen Lang has also heard of the name of this continent. In the early years, he obtained the Withered Bone Demon Puppet in Linhai Tianshan. The master who refined the puppet came from Yunjian Continent.
Shen Lang then asked a lot of questions, and the middle-aged man answered them respectfully.
The land of Beiliang is the northern edge of Yunjian Continent, close to the sea. Further north is the boundless sky and sea.
This place is located in a desolate place, with few cultivation sects and a large number of small and medium-sized cultivation families. It is said that there is only one Yuanying stage monk in the entire Beiliang land.
There is an island in the north, and a demon cultivator occupies the island as its king.
Apart from this, there are no other powerful people in the land of Beiliang.
The Huanyin Valley where Shen Lang is located is a dangerous place in the land of Beiliang. It is full of monsters and beasts, but it also grows a large number of natural materials, earthly treasures, spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Generally, monks above the Foundation Establishment stage would not dare to enter the Phantom Valley alone. At least seven or eight people must form a team of Foundation Establishment stage monks to be able to protect themselves.
"Since there are so many dangers here, why did you two step into this phantom valley?" Shen Lang asked with a frown.
"We, husband and wife, are casual cultivators. We want to come to Huanyin Valley to try our luck and find some heavenly and earthly treasures." The middle-aged man said with his head lowered, not daring to look into Shen Lang's eyes.
Shen Lang's face turned cold, and he felt that this man was lying, and said coldly: "I have good intentions to save you, but you dare to lie to me? The secret technique you just used must be a magic technique, right? It can kill you in a short time.
How can a casual cultivator of your level possess such a powerful technique that can improve your realm so much?"
The middle-aged man was startled and immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Junior tells the truth. The secret technique I just performed was also acquired by chance. If you don't believe me, just look at it!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man took out a black jade slip from the storage ring and handed it to Shen Lang.
This jade slip has a simple shape, a bit like something from ancient monks.
Shen Lang took the jade slip and examined it. It described a technique called "Blood Demon **", which refers to a technique that uses one's own essence and blood to greatly improve one's cultivation level in a short period of time.
This technique has extremely side effects, and will cause the user to fall directly into a realm after using it.
Although Shen Lang still had doubts, he didn't know what to say. He returned the black jade slip and said, "I misunderstood. Don't mind."
"What's going on, I didn't explain it clearly." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. This man is very good at talking.
Shen Lang finally asked: "I have one more thing to ask, how to get out of this Fantasy Valley?"
"Senior, you can travel from here to the southwest. There is a wasteland there, and across the wasteland is a swamp..." The middle-aged man said unhurriedly, with a hint of weirdness hidden in his eyes.
"Ah!" As soon as he finished speaking, the pretty face of the female cultivator beside her turned slightly pale, and she exclaimed unconsciously.
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"No...it's nothing. There was a centipede in the grass just now." The female cultivator held her hands in black silk to cover up the panic on her face.
"Haha, I made the seniors laugh. When I was a Taoist monk, I was bitten by a poisonous centipede and almost lost my life. So when I saw some highly poisonous long insects, I would have some psychological shadow." The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
Explained to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had doubts in his heart, but he still said: "Through the wasteland and swamp, how to go."
"The swamp is about a thousand miles to the southwest and is densely filled with poisonous gas. But for a strong person like Senior, there is no problem. After passing through the swamp, you will reach the exit of the Phantom Valley." The middle-aged man
Said immediately.
Afraid that Shen Lang would be suspicious, the middle-aged man even took out a map and pointed it at Shen Lang.
It is true that the swamp is not the only exit, but it is indeed the fastest road on the map.
"All right."
After Shen Lang asked for the specific location, he turned around and left, heading towards the wasteland and swamp described by the middle-aged man at high speed.
Watching Shen Lang's figure gradually disappearing in the woods, a hint of guilt flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but it soon turned into resentment and sullenness.
"Sir, don't you think there was something wrong with those two people just now?" Xiaorou in the spirit beast bag couldn't help but say.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Lang's lips, and he said: "Actually, I have noticed it a long time ago. There is something wrong with the jade slip that the person gave me just now. It has a faint trace of evil energy on it. It is obviously not theirs."
"Sir, those men and women are really not good people. You saved them, but they actually want to harm you. There is probably some danger in that swamp." Xiaorou frowned.
"Don't worry about it. What the man said is not entirely false. At least walking through the swamp should be the fastest way out of the Phantom Valley."
Shen Lang said lightly. He was too lazy to take a detour and decided to try this route. Even if there were any evil spirits, he would definitely be able to deal with them easily with his own strength.
…
A middle-aged man is sitting under a tree, with a female cultivator accompanying him.
After a while, the man let out a breath of turbid air. Thanks to Shen Lang's elixir, the injuries in his body were basically stabilized.
However, his cultivation at this time has dropped to the early stage of foundation building, and the middle-aged man's mood has also dropped to rock bottom.
"Husband, how are you?" The female cultivator immediately helped the middle-aged man and asked softly.
