Chen Lin searched around, but couldn't find Yun Xiu Niang, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Having been together for decades, they are more like relatives than relatives. Even though the two of them always quarrel, and he doesn't completely trust each other, they have already become like relatives. If something unexpected happens to the other person, he will be very sad.
.
"Embroidery lady!"
"Ms. Yun Xiu!"
He shouted while expanding the search area.
But still to no avail.
Chen Lin flew up and planned to look down at high altitude to investigate, but he found that he could only reach the height of the treetops, and the black mist further up was like substance. With the strength of his flesh and blood and soul, he did not dare to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to give up.
.
After hesitating for a moment, he simply took the risk and sent out a bright signal, and then waited where he was.
After some operations, Yunxiu Niang didn't appear.
Chen Lin's face was extremely gloomy.
He felt that Yun Xiu Niang did not leave by herself. If the other party wanted to leave him, she would not wait until now, nor would she be in such a dangerous place.
Then it can only be that he encountered danger and was captured by something.
He immediately thought of the Soul-Eating Buddha.
But he immediately denied it. According to what Yun Xiu Niang said, the Soul-Eating Buddha does not swallow all souls, and that thing is targeting him, so he should not take action against Yun Xiu Niang.
In addition, Yunxiu Niang has always been by his side, so if the Soul-Eating Buddha is close to him, it is impossible for him not to feel it.
So, that means there is a more powerful existence in this forest!
Chen Lin's expression changed and he immediately became more alert.
He suddenly thought of He Jinhua's reminder. He said before leaving that this dense forest was very dangerous, extremely dangerous.
He didn't care at the time, thinking it was just an excuse for the other party to leave. After all, before meeting him, the other three were also preparing to fight for the Xuanyang Guizhi. There was no reason why they were not afraid before and became afraid after coming with him.
Already.
Now it seems that the other party must have discovered something but did not dare to tell him, but he was afraid of triggering the soul restriction, so he gave him a subtle reminder when he finally left.
Yun Xiu Niang disappeared, and Chen Lin lost the mood to continue searching for treasures. After waiting for a while, but still didn't see the other party, he left a mark on a thick tree trunk and placed a message.
talisman, and then went deep into the dense forest.
If the other party is still alive but was transported to another place for unknown reasons, then given the importance he attaches to Xuanyang Guizhi, he will definitely go there again.
Running all the way, it quickly flew around dozens of miles.
Chen Lin became more and more suspicious as he walked.
According to the map record in the jade slip, if you go deep into this level, you should reach the location of Xuanyang Guizhi, and the place where Xuanyang Guizhi grows is in the center of a large depression. The depression is full of water and has no trees.
You can see it as long as you are nearby, not to mention that Xuanyang Guizhi is a luminous elixir.
The most important thing is that since he entered the dense forest, he has not encountered a single monster or monk, which is also very unreasonable.
This is the realm of the underworld, and there is no way that ghosts do not exist. Ghosts are most sensitive to anger. If it were a normal underworld, everyone would have pounced on him if a living person like him appeared.
After changing several directions and exploring, Chen Lin finally determined that he was trapped in some kind of illusion.
Maybe the reason why he couldn't see Yun Xiu Niang was not because of Yun Xiu Niang, but because he had lost his normal perception of the outside world.
Without any more meaningless searches, Chen Lin stood in an open area, took out all the spiritual herbs and elixirs he had dug out before from his storage bag, and placed them in a row on the ground.
I checked them one by one with my spiritual sense, but found no abnormalities.
Touching his chin, he patted the storage bag, and a tall alchemy furnace appeared on the ground.
He selected a few of the many spiritual herbs and elixirs, and took out some auxiliary materials from his own body, and began to refine the elixir.
Whether these things are true or false, you will know once you try them.
After pouring real fire into the bottom of the furnace and putting the materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, Chen Lin expressionlessly controlled the formation of the alchemy furnace while guarding the surroundings vigilantly.
Soon, his expression changed.
I saw the medicinal juice in the alchemy furnace tumbling for a while, and then quickly contracted and solidified, forming an elixir the size of an egg yolk.
The aroma of medicine is fragrant.
Looking at this elixir, Chen Lin was a little unsure.
If the elixir can turn into a pill, it means it is not illusory. Then the place he is in may not be an illusion, but he is trapped in this area by an inexplicable energy and cannot leave.
In order to verify, he continued to pick up the elixir and refine it.
Still successful.
Without stopping, he started refining the third furnace.
At the end of this refining, a mysterious wave suddenly appeared, and then a light flashed, and two identical pills appeared in the pill furnace!
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin finally confirmed that the elixir was real.
What he was refining was Baili Dan. Although after years of continuous refining, he had reached a 100% elixir-forming rate, he could only form one elixir at a time. Only when his innate ability was taking effect, would the elixir be produced.
Reach the maximum elixir formation rate, double elixirs in one furnace.
The natural ability takes effect, which further proves the authenticity of the elixir.
Of course, it is also possible that his thinking was disturbed and everything he saw and thought was the result of being manipulated.
But that would be terrible.
Chen Lin put away the elixir furnace and elixirs, first took out an elixir bottle, poured all the elixirs to restore mana into his mouth, then looked around, and finally picked up the Xuanwu Shield and activated it.
The shield instantly grew larger and floated above his head.
The Xuanwu shadow, which was several times more solid and more agile than before, appeared, releasing a ball of light that enveloped him.
Chen Lin immediately rose from the ground and soared into the sky!
As soon as he crossed the treetops, the oppressive feeling immediately appeared, and the black mist attacked him crazily like it was coming to life, but it was repelled by the light from the Xuanwu Shield.
Lingbao is Lingbao, and its power can only be reflected at critical moments.
But the mana consumption is also really high.
Feeling the rapid passage of mana in his body, Chen Lin did not dare to neglect, swallowed the elixir in his mouth, and accelerated towards the sky.
His figure was like a glowing arrow, rising and rising.
suddenly.
His eyes were sharp, and he pointed three fingers at a certain place beside him!
Then he raised his hand, and the golden ax emitted a golden light and slashed forward.
The surrounding black fog was blown away by the golden light, and a black figure appeared. It was the dark Buddha statue that looked like him in his previous life!
"It's really you!"
Chen Lin announced his murderous secret, knowing that the fake spirit treasure might not do much harm to him, so he immediately used up his last soul power and hit three more soul-destroying fingers in a row!
The Buddha statue finally failed to hold on this time and exploded with a bang, turning into a black smoke and disappearing without a trace.
Chen Lin also fell straight from the sky because his soul power and mana were exhausted.
Fortunately, the weapon spirit of the Black Tortoise Shield automatically protected the owner, preventing him from being corroded by the black mist and dying.
In an underground palace somewhere in the wilderness.
The withered old monk spat out a mouthful of black blood, with a look of shock and anger on his face.
"Why did another one break?"
He looked doubtfully at a groove on the stone platform in front of him. The beads originally placed inside had turned into powder and there was no possibility of repair.
His face suddenly became distorted, and black energy began to flow out of his body, covering the entire hall in black energy.
It took a long time before things returned to normal.
"They actually completely destroyed my Soul-Eating Buddha. How could such an ability appear in this world? Could it be that those guys couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take action?"
The withered old monk looked towards the groove and muttered to himself.
But he immediately shook his head. If those beings came from across the border, there was no way he wouldn't be able to sense them.
After a while, black air emerged from his body again, but this time only a wisp emerged. After leaving the body, it transformed into a human form and slowly solidified.
In the end, he turned into a clone that was exactly the same as him!
"Go check what's going on and deal with it."
The old monk glanced at the other person, gave an order and closed his eyes again.
The clone fades and disappears little by little.
…
Chen Lin fell back into the dense forest with a bang.
However, protected by the Xuanwu Shield, he was not injured, but was weak due to excessive overdraft.
He immediately took out the elixir, swallowed it, and meditated to recover.
It took a full stick of incense to recover, and I got up to check the situation.
He first took out the elixir and Bailidan, and after checking, found nothing abnormal. Then he checked the communication talisman, but there was no change.
After hesitating for a moment, he still followed the guidance of the jade slip map, determined the direction, and headed deep into the dense forest.
To his surprise, he didn't walk long this time before he saw a large open depression. In the middle of the water was a luminous body like a small sun, which illuminated the entire area brightly.
Xuanyang Guizhi!
No need to look closely, this thing looks exactly like the description.
Chen Lin was overjoyed.
Finding this place means that he has escaped from the predicament, and it is not yet time, this treasure is not yet mature, and he still has a chance to fight for it!
However, he did not act impulsively. Instead, he let go of his consciousness and began to look around the open area, hoping to find Yunxiu Niang.
"Which fellow Taoist is so arrogant and uses his spiritual consciousness unscrupulously?"
Just after the exploration was not far away, an old voice sounded, full of anger.
Chen Lin's heart trembled, and he hurriedly withdrew his consciousness and said: "I didn't mean to offend, but I was looking for companions. Please forgive me for any offense I've made."
In the spiritual induction just now, there were five people on the other side, and the mana fluctuations on each of them were extremely surging, and two of them were just higher than him.
It is not appropriate to make enemies before fighting for the treasure, so he kept his posture very low.
At the same time, he was also secretly surprised that the news about Xuanyang Guizhi spread widely enough to attract so many powerful people. I wonder if there are Nascent Soul monks here. If there are, it will be difficult to fight for them.
.
Seeing Chen Lin's attitude, he let out a cold snort in the darkness, but there was no movement.
Chen Lin did not dare to continue investigating, but found a hidden location and waited quietly for the arrival of midnight.
