Deep in the mountains on an autumn night, the chill is pressing.

From time to time, a few beast roars pierced the silence, swooping and startling away a few black crows.

In the grass near the deep mountains and dense forests, there was a man lying in a bright red garment that stood out in the moonlight.

Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky and fell in the middle of the forest, followed by a chilling cry of the sleepy beast, and then it returned to silence.

Chu Qingwu obtained the inner pill of the clouded leopard in the transformation stage, collected the water sword, and habitually spread his divine sense and explored this strange mountain range.

He had never been to the Liuying Realm before, and this time he chased this clouded leopard to enter the mortal interface with only a faint aura in this empty qi.

"Huh?" an unusually faint green light caught his attention. With a slight flick of Junyi's figure, he was at the green light a few kilometers away.

The green light was a hosta, the light was not abundant, it was bright and hazy, if it wasn't for the fact that it was night at this time, he might have ignored it.

With a flick of his sleeve, the hosta was in his hand.

"It turned out to be a piece of soul jade. Chu Qingwu nodded slightly.

Soul jade is also a rare thing in the cultivation realm, but it has not yet been seen in Chu Qingwu's eyes.

It is said that soul jade is rare because its appearance is no different from ordinary jade, and it is difficult to distinguish the spirit of the Yuan Infant, unless it can be identified with a special detection compass, which also causes the scarcity of soul jade on the market.

In addition to the soul jade that can calm people's minds, a complete soul jade can also form a soul jade space. The soul jade space is different from ordinary storage space, it can hold not ordinary items but souls.

This piece of soul jade emitted a glowing light at this time, indicating that a new soul had run inside, and it also showed that although this piece of soul jade was small, it was a complete one, and a soul jade space had been formed.

The time for this new soul to enter the soul jade space is no more than three days, because once it exceeds three days, the soul jade will return to its original state and change back to the appearance of ordinary jade.

It was the soul jade space that entered the new soul, and the surface of the hosta was covered with light, so that Chu Qingwu recognized it at a glance.

As a Jindan real person of a large sect, Chu Qingwu has seen and obtained countless treasures, such a large soul jade, for Jindan cultivation, the meditation effect is not great, dispensable.

As for the magic weapon that can hold the soul, he has a better high-grade spiritual weapon soul nourishing bowl on his body, which has never been used, and has been thrown in the corner of his storage ring for hundreds of years.

Yes, this little soul jade like chicken ribs really can't get into his eyes.

glanced at the woman in red lying on the ground, not very old, about fourteen or fifteen years old, she was a mortal, her soul was not there, her body was only a line away from death, and her anger was like a gossamer.

Presumably, the soul in the soul jade belongs to the woman in red, and I don't know what chance there is, the soul of a mortal ran into the soul jade after leaving the body, and did not enter reincarnation.

"Huh?" This woman surprised Chu Qingwu a little for the second time.

The reason for this woman's dying was that someone had taken away her spiritual root.

The spiritual root is the foundation of cultivating immortals, and only with the spiritual root can the spiritual energy of heaven and earth be absorbed in the body, and then enter the immortal path.

Not everyone can have a spiritual root, and if you are born without a spiritual root, you can only hope for immortals and regret it.

Whether there is a spirit or not is fundamentally a matter of personal destiny, however, there are people who go against the grain and take away the spiritual roots of others.

In the cultivation realm, this is the most criticized evil cultivation path.

However, it is extremely rare to snatch people's spiritual roots. Because the spiritual root is not something you can win if you want to take it, the result is often that both the seizure and the taken are destroyed, and there have always been few successful people.

Moreover, it is unheard of for those who can achieve the Great Dao after seizing people's spiritual roots.

This extremely rare thing was encountered by Chu Qingwu.

Not long after this woman was taken away from the spiritual root, there were still traces of the spiritual root in the dantian, which was consistent with the record in a book he had read, and it was not difficult for him to make a judgment.

"It's a pity that the spiritual root was taken away and has no chance with the Great Dao. "As far as he knows, this Fang Liuying realm is almost none, and those who have spiritual roots among mortals can be said to be one out of 100,000, and most of these 100,000 are miscellaneous spiritual roots, and those who can be taken away from spiritual roots will at least be double spiritual roots, which is a pity.

The twin spiritual roots are also high-grade spiritual roots in the cultivation realm, and sometimes there is not one out of ten thousand, let alone in this mortal realm where there is almost no spiritual energy, I am afraid that it is not one out of ten million.

Chu Qingwu was moved by compassion for a while.

Anyway, since he let him meet, maybe it was this woman's chance, and his life should not be extinguished.

He searched the storage ring for a while before finding a bottle of primary healing pill from a corner, which he had thrown into the ring many years ago when he was practicing alchemy.

The mortal body can withstand the primary pill at most, and if it is seriously injured, if it is not sick or injured, it is the primary pill, and mortals who eat a whole pill will directly explode and die.

Breaking off half of the pill and putting it into the woman's mouth, after that, Chu Qingwu released the coercion of the golden pill stage against the soul jade, and in an instant, a weak woman's soul floated out of the soul jade in a daze.

"Go!" Chu Qingwu pinched a trick in his right hand, and the soul returned to his body in a blink of an eye.

"Whether you survive or not depends on your life. "The woman's vitality is too badly injured, and she won't get better for a while. Chu Qingwu is a cold-hearted person, rarely meddling in things, the action just now has made an exception, and he will not care whether the woman is dead or alive after that.

Put the hosta back into the woman's hand, sacrifice the flying sword, and disappear between heaven and earth in a blink of an eye.

※※※※

At dawn, the first wisp of cooking smoke had just risen from the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, and Zhao Erhu had already carried a firewood knife into the back mountain.

A large patch of red in the hazy green bushes was too conspicuous, and Zhao Erhu saw it from afar.

The knife in his hand was lifted a few times, and he leaned over carefully.

"Damn, a dead man!" Zhao Erhu was so frightened that he took a few steps back. It was still a young woman in a big red wedding dress, lying motionless in the grass.

When he came back to his senses, the shiny golden hairpin on the woman's head blinded him and made him greedy.

He bowed to the woman a few times with his hands together, "This little eldest sister, there is a debtor and a master, I don't take your things for nothing, and when I sell it for money, I will definitely bury you alive, and save your bones from being gnawed by wild beasts, so you can reincarnate with peace of mind." ”

After bowing, he pinned the wood knife to his waist, and squatted down to pick the golden hairpin, and at this moment, the woman's eyelids moved.

It hurts, ten thousand arrows pierce the heart!

"Oh...... Hmm......" Lin Qianlan was woken up by pain.

"Mom! Blow up the corpse!" Zhao Erhu sat on his back in horror, and scurried back a few times with his hands on the ground.

It hurts so much! Lin Qianlan instinctively bent her whole body, hugged her hands in her lower abdomen, which made her feel painful, and slowly opened her eyes.

The misty sky with red in her eyes didn't give her time to think, and there was another cramp in her lower abdomen, "Hiss!"

"You, a human being, a ghost?" Zhao Erhu asked in a trembling voice.

Lin Qianlan turned her face sideways and saw Zhao Erhu, her fright was even greater than Zhao Erhu's, "You, you, you, hiss......" What did she see! A man with his hair tied and dressed as an ancient! Frightened and in severe pain, she fainted.
