The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 129, The Transmission of Dharma at Xiaocang Mountain, Inclusion of Demon Souls (Two chapters combined, please subscribe). We look forward to your visit.
"Is this Xiaocang Mountain?"
The forest within the escape light overlooked the rolling mountains below. Its divine sense could see villages and towns of considerable size throughout the mountains.
Humans and demons live together in the town.
The mountains here are imbued with a pure spiritual energy, and there is not much malevolent energy.
It is evident that there is not much killing between human and demon cultivators, making it a rare peaceful place compared to other places.
The main peak of Xiaocang Mountain.
This is a place where third-order spiritual veins converge, and it is a superior third-order spiritual vein.
What Lin Li didn't expect was that the powerful figure from Xiaocang Mountain could protect so many humans and demons.
"That junior cultivator who only reaches the Core Formation stage on Little Cang Mountain is nothing but a pedantic and pedantic fool."
"In order to protect the sect's heritage and shelter so many humans and demons, he has long become a thorn in the side of others."
"Moreover, no other Core Formation stage cultivator has yet emerged from within the sect."
"If it weren't for my help, once that junior who has reached the Core Formation stage passes away, these humans and demons would immediately become food for others."
"Without strength, everything is just empty talk."
The old ghost Feng Yuan, inside the escape light, spoke calmly.
However, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, as if he were recalling something.
A moment later.
The main peak of Xiaocang Mountain.
It is a towering, thousand-foot-high peak that pierces the clouds.
At the summit, in front of a three-story pavilion standing on the edge of a cliff.
There was already a frail, hunched old man in yellow robes, holding a wooden cane, waiting there. The old man was surrounded by wisps of deathly aura that could not be suppressed, and it was estimated that he would not have many years left before passing away.
Beside him stood a young woman dressed in purple, who looked solemn as she stood quietly to the side.
Lin Li scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the old man was at the late stage of Core Formation, while the woman in purple was at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Judging from the fact that the woman is so young yet has such cultivation, her chances of advancing to the Core Formation stage in the future are definitely not small.
With Lin Li by his side, Feng Yuan, the old ghost, landed steadily on the flat ground a few steps in front of the old man and the young man.
"Junior Yun Canghai pays respects to Senior!"
"Junior Su Qinghan greets Senior!"
The old man and the young man bowed respectfully.
"No need."
"Getting down to business is the priority."
"Young man, examine this puppet first."
Feng Yuan, the old ghost, spoke casually, then raised his hand and took out a demon monkey puppet made entirely of green wood from his storage bag. It had a monkey's head, a human body, and a green monkey tail on its back.
The demon monkey puppet exuded a powerful aura reminiscent of the late-stage Core Formation realm.
A puppet at the late stage of Core Formation.
Lin Li was somewhat surprised when he sensed the oppressive aura emanating from the Green Wood Demon Puppet in front of him.
This cheap master has quite a few treasures.
However, such a late-stage Core Formation puppet is not very useful for Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
In a battle between opponents of the same level.
These late-stage Core Formation puppets are just the simplest consumables.
However, if this puppet were to be fully activated by Xiao Cangshan, it might even force Yun Canghai, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, to retreat in defeat.
After Feng Yuanlaogui took out the Green Wood Demon Puppet, Yun Canghai bowed and walked solemnly to the puppet. After standing still, he raised his hands and cast dozens of mysterious hand seals in one breath.
Runes were incorporated into the demon puppet.
Yun Canghai examined it very carefully.
Fang Qinghan, who was dressed in purple, also took out a golden jade ring-shaped magic artifact and covered the demon monkey puppet with it.
"My disciple."
"This Yun Canghai will be the one to whom you receive the teachings."
"This person cultivates earth-attribute techniques, which are very compatible with you."
"This is one that I carefully selected for you."
"Use this puppet, which is enough to protect Xiaocang Mountain, in exchange for an opportunity to pass on the Dharma."
"He possesses the cultivation level of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator."
"It will definitely allow you to step into the mid-stage of Core Formation in one fell swoop, greatly shortening the time it takes for you to advance to the late-stage of Core Formation."
Seeing that Yun Canghai and Fang Qinghan were carefully examining the demon puppet, Feng Yuan, the old ghost, spoke to Lin Li, who was standing to the side.
This late-stage Core Formation demon puppet was found in the storage bag of a Core Formation Perfection cultivator whom Feng Yuan had casually dealt with. It had been gathering dust in the storage bag ever since.
Now, in this Southern Yue Kingdom, after finding a suitable cultivator to spread the Dharma, they quickly reached an agreement with him.
In exchange for the other party's cultivation level, one would use a demonic puppet.
Especially given that Xiaocang Mountain has no successor, Yun Canghai agreed very readily.
"Thank you, senior."
"This junior may now pass on the Dharma to this fellow Daoist."
After the demonic puppet in front of them was put into Fang Qinghan's storage bag, Yun Canghai bowed and said.
"it is good."
"My disciple, you may go now."
Feng Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.
Immediately, Yun Canghai led Lin Li into the pavilion behind him. Inside the pavilion was a third-order array for protection. The first floor was very spacious, with intricate array patterns crisscrossing the ground.
Streams of pure soul power resided within the nodes of the formation.
"Fellow Daoist."
"Let's go to this key point of the formation!"
Yun Canghai raised his hand and cast a hand seal. Instantly, a dark red light appeared on the array.
For Yun Canghai, this was quite an opportunity.
The fact that the unknown Nascent Soul stage senior was able to make this deal with him was very beneficial to Xiao Cangshan.
If puppets at the late stage of Core Formation could be passed down from generation to generation...
At the very least, it can protect them in Xiaocang Mountain for over a thousand years.
Yun Canghai was already nearing his death, and using several years of his lifespan and all his cultivation to exchange for this late-stage Core Formation demon puppet was definitely a good thing for the inheritance of Xiao Cangshan.
"Master, I have done my best."
Yun Canghai recalled his master's instructions before his death, as well as the scenes of his two most valued disciples failing to break through to the Core Formation stage and dying in front of him. He was filled with many emotions.
He lived a life worthy of the temple.
He felt guilty towards his junior sister, who knelt on the ground, begging him to save her natal spirit pet. To avoid damaging his own vital energy, he resolutely refused.
Thus, my junior sister left Xiaocang Mountain, and we haven't seen each other for a hundred years.
"well."
"Junior sister, your senior brother was wrong."
After Yun Canghai finished speaking, a resolute look appeared in his eyes. He activated his internal energy, which emitted a hazy yellow light, and the great formation beneath him also began to operate.
The magical power within his true core was drawn out one by one and merged into the great formation.
After the great formation removed the divine thoughts above the magic power, it directly surged into Lin Li's body inside the formation's core.
A surge of magical power entered his body.
All of his magical power was poured into the true elixir in his dantian.
As if it had taken a powerful tonic, Zhendan, like a starving ghost, greedily devoured the pure Zhendan essence around it.
Simultaneously.
When Lin Li's soul power entered his body within the refining array.
Surprisingly, the soul power stored in the eye of this great formation was actually the essence of a spiritual cultivator.
[Inclusion successful]
[Third-tier inferior bloodline, eight-winged flying yaksha!]
On the Reincarnation Disc, a Yaksha figure appeared with eight wings, a blue face, fangs, bull horns, and a black gold steel fork.
After the Yaksha figure appeared, it very consciously landed next to the Reincarnation Disc.
Under the intimidation of the several fourth-tier Nascent Soul stage phantoms in the center, they obediently sat cross-legged on the Reincarnation Disc, not daring to make the slightest disturbance.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At the heart of the formation.
All that remained was a skeleton draped in a yellow robe.
Meanwhile, Lin Li, who was in another array eye, had advanced his cultivation to the mid-stage of Core Formation within three days and stabilized his mid-stage cultivation.
His divine sense power had reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, allowing him to detect a range of at least nearly a hundred miles.
Both his magical power and spiritual awareness have been greatly enhanced.
"While this method can improve cultivation, the purity of the magical power produced is still somewhat low."
"Compared to the magical power cultivated by the original body, it only has half the purity."
The power of their combined magical abilities will also be weaker.
"However, the lack of purity in the magic power can be resolved by spending more time refining it."
"It seems that in two or three years at most, I should be able to break through to the late stage of Core Formation."
This is what Lin Li felt in his heart.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Yun Canghai, who was just a skeleton, about ten steps away in front of him.
Once this method is implemented, there is no turning back.
Whether it's the true elixir or the soul within the body, it will all be stripped away and passed on to others.
Not even a wisp of soul will remain, nor will there be any chance for reincarnation or possession.
Lin Li was moved.
Yun Canghai's purpose was the same as Yuan Xiudao's back then: to preserve the sect's legacy, which is why he made the choice to sacrifice himself.
"It's time to leave."
Lin stood up and began to walk outside.
The formation in the pavilion suddenly dissipated.
As Lin Li walked out of the pavilion, Fang Qinghan, dressed in purple, immediately entered the pavilion.
"Ancestor!"
A voice filled with pain came from behind.
"Mid-stage Core Formation..."
"His divine sense has reached the level of perfect Core Formation."
"It's alright."
"It's a pity that the junior's cultivation level is still a bit lacking. If he had reached the peak of Core Formation, your cultivation level would definitely have advanced even further."
"Let's go."
"Go to the second place."
"I will definitely help you advance to the late stage of Core Formation."
"After that, I will go into seclusion to refine my own magical power and wait for the opening of the Spirit Ruins City secret realm."
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yuan appeared in front of Lin Li. After looking him up and down, he raised his hand and swept Lin Li up, transforming into a beam of light and leaving Xiao Cangshan in a few breaths.
"This Little Cang Mountain is full of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining juniors, they don't even have the appetite to eat."
"Your level of understanding is too low."
"If I could have a few more Core Formation juniors, I could have a few more decent vengeful ghosts in my Myriad Soul Banner."
At this moment, Feng Yuan, the old ghost within the escaping light, spoke with a hint of regret in his voice.
"My disciple, this second place cost me a considerable amount of money."
"That old ghost and I have known each other for two thousand years."
"And like me, they are all Nascent Soul stage Ghost Path cultivators."
"You'd better live up to expectations and properly refine the magical power within your body."
"Within the secret realm of Lingxu City, if you and I, master and disciple, join forces, we're sure to obtain some excellent magical treasures."
Feng Yuanlaogui's tone was filled with anticipation.
"Another Nascent Soul stage old ghost..."
Lin Li felt a little curious.
There are quite a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators hiding in the shadows within the cultivation world of the Southern Yue Kingdom!
Half a day later.
Lin Li and his companion arrived at their destination.
A miasma-filled swamp stretching for over a thousand miles.
Dragon Marsh.
Lin Li could see the location marked on the jade slip map in his storage bag.
It is called that because this swamp has been occupied by a group of alligators.
The leader was a mid-stage Core Formation alligator dragon, and together with many Foundation Establishment alligator dragons in the opposing alligator dragon horde, even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator would generally not easily enter the Alligator Dragon Swamp.
The map jade slip obtained on Hoenn Island in Mandoko Province describes it in this way.
now.
Deep within the Crocodile Swamp.
On a small island shrouded in malevolent energy.
The burly figure with a crocodile head and a human body, nearly two zhang tall, was bowing respectfully to the old ghost Feng Yuan in front of him.
"Senior Feng Yuan."
"The master has been waiting for a long time."
After bowing, the Dragon King, who was at the mid-stage of Core Formation, led Lin Li and his group to a stone house in the center of the island.
In the courtyard of the stone house.
There was a slender and beautiful woman, who looked to be in her thirties. She wore a purple dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her peach blossom eyes were looking at the Lin Li standing next to Feng Yuan Lao Gui with great interest.
When Lin Li and the woman in the purple dress exchanged a glance, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if he were in a pitch-black, chaotic place where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
A pair of mountain-like purplish-red eyes appeared in the darkness before Lin Li, and an overwhelming pressure descended upon him.
It felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a sharp, iron claw, and an extremely oppressive, suffocating feeling washed over him.
At this moment, the Soul-Suppressing Seal deep within his sea of consciousness also began to stir restlessly, but it was immediately suppressed by Lin Li.
What a joke.
If those two Nascent Soul stage old ghosts were to find out about the Soul-Suppressing Seal deep within his sea of consciousness, they would surely extract his soul and refine his spirit.
At that very moment, the darkness surrounding Lin Li was immediately dispelled by another surge of powerful magic.
"Fellow Daoist Ziyue, my little disciple can't take such a scare!"
"Feng Yuan the Old Ghost said."
"Just kidding."
"My junior disciple's spiritual cultivation is not weak."
"We have a cooperative relationship regarding the secret realm of Lingxu City."
"How could we not find out more about this little guy?"
Zi Yue said nonchalantly.
At this time.
Lin Li actually benefited from the misfortune, because due to the dispersal of the old ghost Feng Yuan, some of their soul power dissipated in Lin Li's sea of consciousness, but he managed to capture a small amount of it.
[Inclusion successful]
[A fourth-tier, mid-level bloodline; the soul of a Taiyin Moon Fox!]
The next moment, a powerful Nascent Soul demon soul aura appeared in the Reincarnation Plate.
It has six huge silver fox tails that sway slowly in the void, and a deep blue crescent mark flashes between the silver fox's eyebrows. A chill emanates from its body.
Its aura was second only to the fourth-tier superior projection on the Reincarnation Disc.
"I made a profit."
"This Purple Moon is actually a Nascent Soul fox spirit who has transformed into a demon cultivator."
