After three hours, Liu Yu got up and walked out of the cave, heading towards the central area of the "Black Blood Valley" to continue the search for the "Evil Spirit".
"Hmm!" After entering the central area of "Black Blood Valley" for about a stick of incense, Liu Yu, who was running forward, suddenly stopped and looked at a wet depression not far to the right. There was a small patch of grass growing between the depressions.
Mushroom-like plants of various sizes.
Liu Yu recognized that this was a kind of spiritual grass that thrived in poisonous miasma, haze and other dark places. It was called "Ghost Mushroom".
The older the "ghost mushroom" is, the bigger it will be, and the more valuable the spiritual stone will be. This kind of spiritual material is very common in the Black and White Mountains. It is umbrella-shaped and gray-black, but like this "ghost mushroom",
They are densely packed, and they are all as big as a fist, which is very rare.
"Ghost mushrooms" only have medicinal value if they are aged for more than ten years. They are about the same size as ordinary wooden mushrooms. One mushroom sells for about a dozen low-grade spiritual stones. It is as big as a fist, and it can be said to be more than fifty or sixty years old. Among them
More than a dozen plants are as big as pancakes, dark black in color, and probably no less than a hundred years old.
"Ghost mushrooms" that are more than a hundred years old are very rare, and the price has increased several times. One plant can sell for more than 300 low-level spiritual stones.
You are right when you think about it. The central area of the "Black Blood Valley" is often shrouded in poisonous miasma, the yin energy is heavy, and ghosts are rampant. It has always been inaccessible, so it is very suitable for the growth of "ghost mushrooms", a spiritual herb with cold medicinal properties. Yesterday, Liu Yu discovered that there are many medicinal materials such as "Yinling Flower", "Carrion Grass", and "Soul-inducing Flower" growing here, and they are growing very well, and most of them are old things.
It's just that Liu Yu was eager to verify the existence of the rumored "evil spirit" yesterday, so he had no time to pay attention to it. Now he has captured an "evil spirit". Liu Yu was in a good mood and found this old "ghost mushroom"
, naturally stopped, these are all spiritual stones.
It's just that there are a large number of ghosts wandering in the air in the depression, nearly a hundred in number. These ghosts hover above the ghost mushrooms from time to time, greedily sucking in these aged "ghost mushrooms" like old smokers, and the wisps of negative plant essence emitted, obviously
The vegetation essence emitted by these "ghost mushrooms" is definitely very beneficial to the ghosts.
And this small patch of "ghost mushrooms" grows so well that it has not been picked for decades. It is inevitable that these ghosts will be sheltered. Although there are a large number of ghosts in the central area of "Black Blood Valley", there are few traces of people.
For those who want to die, it is like a place of death, but there have always been many desperadoes in the world of cultivation.
The central area of "Black Blood Valley" has always been a place with extremely rich resources for collecting herbs, attracting many desperate herbal collectors. Some people live and get a windfall, while others die without any bones left. The central area of "Black Blood Valley"
It's like a vicious beast with a bloody mouth, devouring these greedy people who come here for its reputation.
When Liu Yu approached the depression, it was like poking a hornet's nest. A large number of ghosts wandering in the mid-air of the depression, smelling the flesh and blood of strangers, rushed toward Liu Yu one after another. In the eyes of Liu Yu, who had turned on his "psychic eye"
, the ghosts in the sky are overwhelmingly swooping towards me.
"Quick!" As soon as the spirit gate of Liu Yuzi Mansion opened, mana surged, and all around, large and small stones scattered within ten steps of the ground suddenly floated into the air, and then shot out like arrows towards the swooping group of ghosts, densely packed. , the strong wind breaks through the sky, and the momentum is like flowing fire.
"Bang, bang!" The dozens of ghosts that rushed to the front were shot through by the dense rain of flying rocks, and clouds of black smoke exploded in the air, making bursts of muffled sound like fireworks, and black smoke overflowed for a while, " Although "Yinhun" is fast, its soul body is too fragile.
Only seven or eight soul bodies with thickened souls, equivalent to the "shadow soul" of a cultivator in the later stage of Qi training, can drive the Yin Qi in front of the soul body to use methods such as "Spiritual Essence Shield" to block the flying rocks. Escape the disaster of explosion and death.
At this time, a golden sword light flew out, like a swift swimming dragon, swimming left and right in the air, quickly penetrating these fish that slipped through the net. It was Liu Yu's fourth-grade intermediate spiritual weapon "Jincun Sword". These "Shadow Souls" "The magic shield condensed by Yin Qi in front of the soul body is like a piece of paper to Jin Cunjian.
Although Liu Yu's rain of flying rocks wiped out about one-third of the ghosts in the air in the depression, there were still fifty or sixty ghosts rushing over. The first centipede-shaped "wandering soul" had already arrived in front of Liu Yu. , as if he wanted to rush forward and take a bite.
"Zi, Zhi" The ghost of the centipede hit the golden magic shield raised by Liu Yu, like rain falling on a red-hot iron block, and instantly turned into black smoke.
Liu Yu is now practicing the dual system technique "Gold and Earth Society Dao Jing". The raised magic shield contains the characteristics of gold and earth auras. It not only has outstanding defensive power, but also has the unique sharpness of gold aura, just like a hedgehog shell. p>
These "wandering souls" did not pose the slightest threat to Liu Yu. They bumped into the magic shield one after another, which at most consumed some of Liu Yu's mana. They were like moths flying into the flame, destroying themselves. Liu Yu allowed these "wandering souls" to destroy themselves. "Soul", rush directly towards yourself.
Although some of the "Shadow Soul" level ghosts cannot break through the defense of the magic shield, the self-destruction of the soul body at close range is still somewhat powerful. If several of them explode at the same time, it will indeed be dangerous, so Liu Yu uses the Jincun Sword Protect it in front of you, shuttle back and forth around, and kill any "shadow soul" that dares to get close.
After dozens of breaths, nearly a hundred ghosts in the depression were almost killed by Liu Yu. In the end, there were a few "shadow souls" who either had awakened some spiritual intelligence or were born with fear. In short, they were not as useless as other ghosts. The brain rushes forward, but flees in all directions.
Liu Yu began to pick the "ghost mushrooms" growing in every corner of the depression. He selected some fist-sized and aged ghost mushrooms and put them in the storage bag. Liu Yu was too lazy to pick the ordinary-sized ghost mushrooms. They were not worth a few spiritual stones and took up a lot of space. Space for storage bags.
Of course, when he walked to the dozens of "ghost mushrooms" that were as big as noodle pancakes and were hundreds of years old in the center of the depression, Liu Yu immediately stepped forward to pick them. When Liu Yu looked happy, he picked a few of them and put them in his storage bag. I held the handle of another "ghost mushroom" that was hundreds of years old and was about to pull it up when I felt a gust of wind coming from behind me.
Liu Yu's face changed instantly, and he immediately activated the "Xuanxue Escape Light" and ducked to the side. A black shadow flashed past, instantly piercing through Liu Yu's shadow that was left in place. It was a beast soul shaped like a fox. The soul was
The body is as dignified as a solid body, and it is actually a "yin evil", also known as an "evil ghost".
The "Yin Soul" has been cultivating for hundreds of years and condensed the "Xuan Yin Evil Qi" to protect the soul body, which is equivalent to a cultivator building a foundation. This stage is called the "Yin Evil". This is the second time Liu Yu encounters the "Yin Evil"
, Back then, when we went hunting in the "Black Blood Valley" with Wei Ping and others, we encountered a sneak attack by a ghost cultivator, also known as "Yin Sha".
That time, his friend Xiao Jun died tragically in the hands of the ghost cultivator. Liu Yu and Wei Ping teamed up and survived a narrow escape before they were lucky enough to kill the ghost cultivator. Afterwards, Liu Yu found a lot of books about "Yin evil spirits" and after reading them
, then I realized that the ghost cultivator was just a "Yin Sha" in the Condensation Stage, which is equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building.
"Yin evil" is divided into three stages: the condensing evil stage, the evil evil stage, and the condensing elixir stage. The evil evil stage and the condensing elixir stage correspond to the middle and late stages of foundation building of Dharma cultivation.
Although the soul body of this mountain fox is dignified and realistic, the soul body has not yet condensed into the physical "Evil Armor" with the "Xuanyin Evil Qi". The soul body is hidden in the "Evil Armor", and wisps of soul energy are floating around the fox body like smoke.
, still a little blurry.
Judging from its appearance, it is as big as a wolf, with sharp claws on its limbs. Before death, it was either a second-level spiritual beast "Steel Claw Mountain Fox" or a third-level monster "Shadow Claw Fox". After death, it still retains the cunning of the fox.<
/p>
Liu Yu guessed that the fox just now must be hiding behind a certain stone, peeping secretly, waiting for him to kill other ghosts, and suddenly launched a sneak attack while he was carelessly picking "ghost mushrooms", or else he could activate the "Xuanxue Escape" to hide.
Come on, I must have been seriously injured by the blow just now.
The "Evil Fox" failed to make a sneak attack. He raised his head and spat out "Evil Yuan Yin Fire" at Liu Yu. The cold and cold flames surged in. Liu Yu made a seal with both hands and whispered: "Golden Yuan Thick Earth Shield!"
I saw the ground in front of me, and the soil instantly surged up, forming a semi-elliptical earth wall. As the "Golden Meaning Earth Element True Qi" from Zifu poured into the earth wall, the earth wall emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and solidified into a golden streak in the blink of an eye.
The giant shield protects Liu Yu behind the shield.
"Chi" The extremely corrosive cold cold flames slammed into the golden shield, making a sour tooth sizzling sound. The golden light of the golden shield gradually dissipated and turned into an earth wall again, with a charred black appearance on the front.
However, the "Evil Yuan Yin Fire" spewed out by the evil fox was completely blocked by the earthen wall.
Seeing that the attack was blocked again, the "Evil Fox" turned into a black shadow and rushed over directly, smashing the earth wall. The "Xuanyin Evil Spirit" gathered in both claws, and sent out two sharp "claw lights" towards Liu Yu, but
Liu Yu turned over and jumped, and two "claw lights" hit the ground, leaving two deep grooves on the ground.
The "Evil Fox" landed on the ground, its pupilless eyes staring at Liu Yu in the distance. The prey in front of him was very different from the same kind of blood food he hunted in his memory. The speed was too fast, and his several attacks were all in vain.
, then "Evil Fox" used Yinhun's natural ability "Soul Hide", and the soul disappeared in the air, becoming invisible.
Sure enough, the prey in front of it looked like the same kind of blood prey that it usually hunts, looking left and right, circling like a headless fly, with a frightened look. It did not rush forward to attack, but went around behind the prey and slowly approached the prey. This trick has been tried repeatedly in its memory.
Liu Yu saw the "evil fox" disappearing and moving around behind him. All this was clearly visible under his "psychic eye", but Liu Yu still pretended not to see it and looked around, looking frightened and anxious. With a confused look, his spiritual sense locked onto the "Evil Fox" sneaking closer, and he tightened his grip on the Jincun Sword in his hand.
When the "evil fox" slowly came ten steps behind Liu Yu, he suddenly jumped towards Liu Yu, and Liu Yu had been waiting for this moment. Mana crazily poured into the Jinchun sword, and the sword's radiance suddenly grew, and he turned around and struck. He slashed across the waist, splitting the "evil fox" in mid-air into two halves, and then immediately turned around and jumped away to avoid being injured by the soul explosion.
However, the "Evil Fox" was cut in half by Jin Cun's sword, and turned into two black smokes, which did not explode. The two black smokes were seen to fly back a distance, and actually stuck together, and then swelled and shrank. It actually transformed back into the shape of a fox, but its soul became increasingly blurry, as if it was about to disperse at any time.
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out. Yinhun is a ball of gas formed by absorbing Yin Qi from "Remnant Soul". It is an invisible thing, whether in animal form or human form. It is just a remnant soul. According to the appearance in life, The subconscious illusion is not a real flesh and blood body. It is split open with a sword, disemboweled, and killed with a single blow.
As long as the "remnant soul" hidden in the soul body has not been defeated, this kind of trauma can only consume some of the soul energy of the ghost soul body. As long as the soul body is thick enough, even if it is split into several pieces, it will not be fatal. .
The "evil fox" was severely injured, and was frightened and cruel towards Liu Yu. He clawed at the ground with all four limbs and let out a few intrusive roars at Liu Yu, but did not attack again. After lingering in place for a few seconds, he turned around and ran away. , obviously afraid of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu would not let this "evil fox" escape easily. He would have to stay in the "Black Blood Valley" for a long time. If this "evil fox" escaped, he would definitely be killed due to the cunning nature of foxes. Will wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Although Liu Yu is not afraid of this "evil fox", it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows, which will definitely be very troublesome.
"Ding!" Soon after he said it, Liu Yu quickly formed the Heavenly Master's hand seal with both hands, pointed in front of the Dharma seal, shouted violently, and performed the "Celestial Master's Mantra·Ding Yan Technique".
He saw the "Evil Fox" who had turned around, and his body swayed, so that he could not move at the same place. Seeing that the "Evil Fox" was hit by the categorical spell, Liu Yu immediately took out a "Thunder Light Palm Element Talisman" to activate it, and grabbed a ball in his palm. The beating purple thunder ball rushed towards the "Evil Fox" who was stunned on the spot.
Liu Yu has not yet refined the "Heavenly Master's True Words: Dao Soul Heart Sutra", so the power of the "Critical Technique" is not enough, but at least it is quite adequate for ghosts like "Evil Fox", although it can only immobilize "Evil Fox" "It takes about two or three breaths, but it is enough.
When the "Evil Fox" recovered and was about to continue running away, Liu Yu was already behind him and slapped the "Evil Fox" on the butt with a "palm thunder". The thunder ball was imprinted into the soul of the "Evil Fox" from the buttocks.
A ball of thunder burst out from within the body, and the thunder light penetrated the body, exploding the "Evil Fox" into a ball of thick smoke and scattered in all directions.
When the black smoke slowly dissipated, the "Evil Fox" had completely disappeared into the air, leaving nothing behind. If killing copper-skinned and iron-bone ghosts like the "Blood Corpse" is thankless, then killing it
"Yin evil" and other extremely difficult ghosts can only survive when they are full.
Fortunately, there are still many old "ghost mushrooms" in the depression to pick, so Liu Yu didn't get anything.
Not long after, Liu Yu found a pile of bones in a pit behind a big rock in a depression. They must have been murdered herb collectors. From the scattered pile of bones, Liu Yu found six storage bags, and the victims
Yin Qi has corroded over the years, and four of them have been damaged.
Some of the items stored in it were destroyed invisible due to the collapse of space, and some were scattered around the pile of bones, all of which were also corroded by Yin Qi.
I opened two intact storage bags and stored several low-level magic weapons, spiritual stones, and few pills. There were also a lot of picked spiritual herbs, but they were left in the storage bags for too long. Most of them were
It has withered and lost its medicinal properties. Liu Yu estimates that all the items inside are worth about five or six thousand low-level spiritual stones.
A small piece of sword-shaped iron was also found among them, which was the identity token of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect. Apparently, this person was a disciple of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect during his lifetime, but the Great Wilderness Sword Sect had been destroyed at this time, so Liu Yu did not read the inscription on the sword order.
What are the words on it, just throw this sword away.
