Lady Cultivator

For a long time, no one spoke.

Nie Wushang's expression was very calm. She had been mentally prepared.

Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo, however, looked downcast and lowered their heads in silence.

After a long time, Yong Ruyu's dry voice sounded: "Fellow Daoist Qin, are you... too arbitrary?"

Mo Tiange slowly spoke: "First of all, all the alchemy monks who passed through Xingluo City were invited to the city lord's mansion. I remember that Elder Liang said that no one who invited him refused. How many situations can this happen? Unusual? How many of the alchemy cultivators have no background behind them? How come everyone is so attracted to this so-called ancient secret place and waiting here? This is the first doubt."

Yong Ruyu's expression changed for a long time, and finally he sighed and said, "Although what Fellow Daoist Qin said is not certain, it is not unreasonable."

Mo Tiange said: "That's right, it doesn't mean that Lord Mei City must have detained the Danjie monks who didn't agree, but this is somewhat doubtful."

"What about the second doubt?" Qiu Chengruo asked, staring at her closely.

"After that, we agreed to the request of Lord Mei, but this Lord Mei actually had no intention of letting us get to know each other. He even reminded us, intentionally or unintentionally, that others might kill people in the secret place."

"That's right." Nie Wushang said, "I thought it was a little strange at the time. Although we, the alchemy cultivators, don't know each other, if someone is willing to join forces, wouldn't it be easier to pass the test? Even if we fall out in the end, it will be between us. The matter cannot be blamed on them. It can be said that it is beneficial and harmless for Lord Mei to let us Danjie monks get to know each other and find allies. But he didn't. He didn't let us from the beginning to the end. It means getting to know each other. If the two fellow Taoists hadn't come to visit us, I'm afraid fellow Taoist Qin and I would have just been together."

Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo's faces turned dark, and they hesitated for a moment. Qiu Chengruo said: "Actually, before my senior brothers and I looked for allies, Elder Liang once advised us that in this formation, if we are looking for temporary allies, it is better to only make friends with trustworthy people. Let's go together. However, after thinking about it, my senior brother and I felt that it was a bit difficult to pass the test with our strength, so we didn't listen to him..."

Mo Tiange sighed softly. It had nothing to do with it. Such a reminder would be too kind, especially since it involves the interests of Xingluo City. No matter how you think about it, you feel suspicious.

"The third doubt is about many details." Mo Tiange continued, "The fog, the way they cover the secret place, the loss of spiritual energy, etc... If the first two doubts are just doubts, these details , but it is enough to prove that this secret place is not an ancient secret place at all."

"..." There was dead silence, and no one spoke anymore. Everyone is thinking silently in their hearts,

What to do next. Since you have doubts, of course you have to get out, but how do you get out? Among them, only Mo Tiange knew the formation, but it was not enough to break the formation, and no matter how strong they were, they could not compare to the Yuanying monks.

"Not good." Nie Wushang suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he took out the small puppet from the Qiankun bag, "This thing..."

Seeing this thing, the expressions of the other three people also changed, especially Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo.

Although the Lord of Mei City had stated from the beginning that he would prepare everything needed for the trip to the secret place, it would be too prudent to hand out a magic weapon to each person, especially since the miasma was not too serious, so there was no need to do so.

Mo Tiange also took out the puppet, looked at it carefully, and then used his spiritual consciousness to explore it, only to find that there was a barrier inside that could not be penetrated by his spiritual consciousness.

This is the method of the Nascent Soul cultivator. She became more and more certain that there was definitely something wrong with this thing.

"What should I do?" Nie Wushang asked her.

Mo Tiange thought for a moment, then turned to ask Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo: "Neither of the two fellow Taoists seems to be majoring in the fire element?"

Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo were obviously using a set of techniques, and both of them shook their heads at this time.

Mo Tiange was not surprised. He threw the puppet in his hand on the ground, opened a spirit animal bag, called out a small fire, and ordered: "Small fire, burn it with fire."

Xiaohuo hadn't come out for a long time. When he saw her, he shook his head and wanted to come over to rub her in, but Mo Tiange slapped her down: "It's business."

Xiao Huo let out a dissatisfied "Squeak" twice. Seeing that she was unmoved, he had no choice but to turn back obediently and spray out the true sun fire at the little puppet on the ground.

Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo were a little surprised when they saw Xiao Huo. Spiritual beasts are not uncommon, but it is rare for monks in the elixir-formation stage to have a fifth-level or above spiritual beast with them. Especially when you look at it, you can tell that this spiritual beast is not an ordinary breed, and it can actually spit out the true fire of the sun.

Under the real fire of the sun, the puppet persisted for a long time, and finally began to melt slowly. The four people saw that the shell that was not surprising slowly disappeared, revealing what was inside - but it was a black crystal, flowing with a mysterious breath.

When "Magic Crystal" Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo saw this object, they both cried out and turned pale. Then, he took off the puppet he was wearing and threw it out like a plague.

"Magic crystal?" Mo Tiange looked at the two of them, "Do you two recognize this object?"

Qiu Chengruo's lips trembled and he was speechless. Although Yong Ruyu's face was ugly, he still had some self-control. At this time, he reluctantly replied: "We monks in the cloud all know about this thing. When talking about this thing, we have to say A secret technique that was cultivated by the devil in the cloud: Corpse Soul Technique."

Upon hearing this name, it didn't sound like a good thing. Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang looked at each other and asked, "What is this technique like?"

Yong Ruyu calmed down a little, and then said: "This secret technique is just like its name. It is a mysterious technique that turns people into corpses and refines them into puppets." He stopped, took a breath, and was still shocked. He replied, "The Corpse Soul Technique not only takes people's lives, it even controls their souls, which is extremely vicious. Although we monks fight among each other and even take people's lives when they disagree, but we can turn people into puppets like this, and they will live forever. It is forbidden to be reincarnated, but it is very taboo. Therefore, although this corpse soul technique is also a miraculous technique, there are not many demonic cultivators who are familiar with its content, and even fewer dare to use it blatantly. Not only us righteous monks, but also the demonic monks are very fear."

After hearing what he said, Nie Wushang murmured: "So, this Lord of Mei City deceived us here to use the corpse technique on us?"

"Eighty percent so..." Qiu Chengruo's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but she never wiped it off. She said, "This magic crystal is an important item for performing the Corpse Soul Technique. This item will absorb people's essence, making us slowly Become a monster that is neither human nor demonic"

At this point, Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang's expressions changed: "Will it work if we carry it with us like this?"

Yong Ruyu nodded, shook his head, and explained: "Two fellow Taoists, you just put this magic crystal in the Qiankun bag, so it is naturally useless, but my junior sister and I... this thing has been banned by high-level monks. Later, I will absorb the essence nearby, and my junior sister and I have been taking care of it for a while."

"That you……"

Yong Ruyu's face turned green and white for a while, and she quickly gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind: "It's not too late to find out now, it's just a loss of some energy..."

Essence, in other words, is called soul energy. For practitioners, a person is composed of the body and the soul. They generally don't care about the soul, because the soul is something that is innate to people. It exists from birth to Death will disappear, whether you are a mortal or a practitioner, it is the same. Moreover, the soul is not like the soul, which cannot be seen or touched, so it has no problem with practicing or fighting with them. Essence is the vitality of the soul. If the essence is lost, the soul will slowly freeze, lose vitality, and eventually die. However, according to what Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo said, there should be some mysterious technique attached to this magic crystal, which can make the person whose essence is absorbed enter a state of neither life nor death.

Mo Tiange looked at the magic crystal on the ground, and then at the other three puppets. This puppet was carved extremely finely, and its movements were lifelike. However, its mood was different at this moment, and it seemed that its face looked ferocious, as if it were a mockery.

She thought for a while and asked: "Now that we have discovered it, how can we destroy it?"

Yong Ruyu's face was still pale, and she said dullly: "I don't know, we only know the basics of this secret technique. It's been a long time since I heard of anyone using the Corpse Soul Technique in Yun Zhong."

"Let's burn it and see." Nie Wushang, who had been observing, said, "Any magic technique will be weakened when it encounters fire spells."

Mo Tiange nodded. Nie Wushang's proficiency in magic arts was unmatched by her. Since she said she could try it, she might as well give it a try.

He continued to order the small fire to burn the three little puppets. Soon, the three puppets turned into three magic crystals and lay quietly on the ground.

After doing all this, Mo Tiange patted Xiao Huo's head, rewarded it with a pill, and continued to ask Nie Wushang, "What now?"

Nie Wushang did not answer immediately, but looked at Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo: "Two fellow Taoists, do you want this magic crystal?"

As soon as the words came out, Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo immediately shook their heads. They had just suffered a loss, and they knew very little about this thing and did not dare to take risks.

Nie Wushang thought for a while, then took out a handkerchief from his arms, picked up the four magic crystals with his gloved hand, wrapped them in the handkerchief, and stuffed them into the Qiankun bag.

"...Friend Tiancan?" Mo Tiange was puzzled.

Nie Wushang said: "If you escape, I will study it."

"Oh..." Mo Tiange said no more. Nie Wushang has a long history with the devil, so maybe this thing will be of some help to her.

"Two fellow Taoists" Yong Ruyu looked at them and frowned, "Since they know that we have fallen into a trap, why are the two fellow Taoists not anxious at all?" They actually still have the intention to collect magic crystals here.

Mo Tiange turned his eyes to him and smiled: "What's the use of being anxious? We still don't know what this trap is about. Being anxious will only cause confusion."

Wu Shang nodded and said in deep thought, "Our opponent is a Nascent Soul cultivator. There is no doubt about this. Moreover, we have fallen into the opponent's trap and are passive. Our only advantage now is that maybe the opponent does not know that we have discovered this. Trap, if we can find out their plan in time, we might be able to escape."

Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo couldn't help but nodded. The two companions around them were very calm, and they gradually felt at ease.

"Then according to what the two fellow Taoists said, what should we do now?"

Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang looked at each other, then turned their attention to the two of them. Mo Tiange said: "I have to ask you now. You are Yunzhong monks and disciples of a large sect. You must know a lot. If you think about it carefully, is there any countermeasure to this situation?") Book friends, please pay attention. Bar!
