If you look closely, the terrain on the map is intricate, and the dense tunnels and caves are crisscrossed with each other, and if you don't have a map in hand, it's really easy to get lost.

There are more than a dozen places on the map marked with red dots, indicating that there are many spirits there, and there is a certain danger.

In other words, other cultivators who enter the spiritual cave will definitely not want to stay away from these places.

But Lin Shen is different.

In addition to cultivating, he also had the purpose of hunting the earth spirits to collect spiritual dust, and to use his talent for killing the Dao to improve his strength.

Therefore, these dangerous places on the map, which are avoided by others, are monster points of 'brushing experience' and 'explosive materials' to Lin Shen.

"Let's go to these places first, if you can find a secluded place suitable for cultivation on the way, it will be more convenient."

After a few more glances, Lin Shen put away the map and flew towards the closest gathering point of the spirits marked on the map.

After flying for about half an hour, Lin Shen estimated that he was about to arrive at his destination, and was about to summon his clones to search for the traces of the spirits, when a low roar sounded in his ears.

Turning his head to follow the reputation, he saw a hundred meters in front of him, and at some point there was a mist, white and expansive, and he could vaguely see several black shadows flashing inside.

Lin Shen immediately gathered his true qi into his eyes, and soon saw the true faces of those black shadows in the mist.

But it is a spirit with a gray head and a gray head, which looks somewhat similar to a stone lion, but has a hideous and ugly evil ghost head!

"Spirit!"

Lin Shen's eyes lit up.

The appearance of these spirits in front of him was exactly the same as the description of the earth spirit he saw from the jade tube, and it was obviously the rumored earth spirit.

Lin Shen didn't expect his luck to be so good, not long after entering the spirit cave, he met the main master, and immediately drew his sword and rushed forward without hesitation.

The earth spirit has a violent temperament, and when he saw that his prey dared to rush forward, he was furious, and immediately roared and slaughtered out of the mist.

For the purpose of improving the Cloud Dragon Law and the Nine Swords of Shenyang, Lin Shen did not use spells and other martial arts, but only relied on new body skills and swordsmanship to deal with the enemy.

Even so, with the astonishing power of the Insight Eighth-Layer Cultivation and the Pure Yang Rune Sword, he still had the upper hand without difficulty.

The strength of the four-headed earth spirit is not strong, and it is about equivalent to the middle stage of the Xuan Realm.

After only half an hour of fighting, Lin Shen slaughtered all four of them.

After falling to the ground and dying, the bodies of the four earth-headed spirits quickly turned into clouds and drifted away, leaving only a small pinch of pale cyan powder in place.

Lin Shen pinched a handful and looked at it for a moment, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is the spiritual dust he was looking for on this trip!

Carefully putting the spirit dust into the prepared jade bottle, Lin Shen continued to move forward.

There are not many opportunities to enter the spirit cave, so he wants to take this opportunity to collect as much spirit dust as possible, so that he can refine the spirit pill after he returns.

As he went deeper, more and more spirits appeared along the way, and his strength became stronger and stronger, and the spirits of the late stage of the Tongxuan Realm began to gradually appear.

But for Lin Shen, it makes no difference, it's just that it takes a little more effort to kill.

After walking for a while, Lin Shen found a relatively secluded cave, so he simply summoned all the clones and asked them to stay in the cave to guard and cultivate in turn.

And he and the clone of the Killing Dao, with the cave as the midpoint, respectively searched in different directions, hunting the spirits along the way.

After being promoted to the seventh layer of the Ming Technique, the non-consumption radius of the clone's materialization has increased to about 1,500 meters.

This distance is far from anything in the vast spiritual cave.

But the spiritual acupoint has a benefit, that is, the spiritual energy is active and abundant, even if the true qi is on the verge of exhaustion, Lin Shen only needs to run the Jiuyang Heart Sutra for a while, and he can replenish most of it, and he doesn't have to worry about the consumption of the doppelganger at all.

In this case, it doesn't matter if he and the doppelganger are far apart.

While cultivating, hunting and collecting spiritual dust, Lin Shen was immersed in cultivation and battle like this, and ten days passed before he knew it.

The vast area he was in was a dangerous place marked on the map, and the number of terrains was unexpectedly large.

Ten days later, five or six hundred of the earth spirits died at the hands of him and his doppelgangers.

It was only at this time that Lin Shen clearly felt that the ground in this area was beginning to become thin.

Back in the cave where the clone cultivated, Lin Shen summoned out the panel and looked at it fixedly, with a heartfelt smile on his face.

These 10 days have been extremely rewarding.

Not to mention the successful breakthrough of cultivation to the eighth layer of the Ming Aperture, the Cloud Dragon Law and the Shenyang Nine Swords have also made great progress.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Killing the Tao]

[Realm: 45% of the eighth layer of the Ming Sense]

[Exercises: Jiuyang Heart Sutra (Consummation), Melting Soldier Hand (True Martial Arts), Forbidden Golden Armor (True Martial Arts), Cloud Dragon Law (85% of Entering the Dao), Shenyang Nine Swords (50% of Entering the Dao).]

[Spells: Seven Tricks Sword Qi (92% in the fourth layer), Palm Thunder (56% in the fourth layer), Paper Man Handling (83% in the third layer), Immobilization Spell (25% in the third layer), Wind Resistance (74% in the third layer), Water Mirror (55% in the first layer)]

[Number of clones 7 (22%)]

"No wonder so many cultivators flock to the Spirit Cave, this is indeed a treasure place for cultivation!"

Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh.

In just ten days, he broke through a realm, and there were still twenty days, which was more than enough to reach 100% of the ninth layer of the Ming Sense.

Although he has improved so quickly because of his clone.

But after a month for ordinary cultivators, it shouldn't be a problem to break through to a realm.

The benefits of this spiritual cave to practitioners are truly amazing!

"Yunlong Law is still three Perfection Realm Body Martial Arts away, and it should be able to break through in three or four days."

Lin Shen groaned slightly and looked outside the cave.

"But I've almost solved the ground within a radius of three thousand meters, and it's time to change places."

Lin Shen took out the map, swept his gaze, and quickly found the second place where there were many spirits.

It's about seven or eight kilometers away.

"Let's go here!"

Lin Shen made a decision immediately, retracted his clone and left the cave, and used his wind control technique to rush towards his destination.

Halfway through, Lin Shen suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but pause.

On a rock pillar a hundred meters away, there was a dead body lying on its stomach!

When he got closer, his face seemed to be similar, but it was one of the disciples of the lower courtyard who entered the spiritual cave with him.

Lin Shen's eyes narrowed, and he looked around vigilantly, and after not finding anything abnormal, he cautiously approached the dead corpse.

The corpse's complexion was pale, without any blood, as if the blood had been drained from all over his body, and there was still a look of horror on his face.

Lin Shen looked at it for a moment, thought about it, took out a guiding talisman, stimulated it, and threw it on the corpse, and sure enough, he found the residual evil qi on it.

Seeing this, Lin Shen's expression became more and more solemn.

The spirits in the spirit cave are born and raised, not evil.

If this lower court disciple died at the hands of the spirit, it was impossible for there to be evil qi left on the corpse.

It is impossible for such a place to be full of spiritual energy, and there can be no creatures such as demons and evil spirits.

Well, the answer is just around the corner.

This dead body is man-made!

What Lin Shen couldn't understand was who would use evil magic to kill this disciple of the lower court?

Peng Junqin?

No!

Even if Peng Junqin was dissatisfied with Xie Jingsheng, it was impossible for him to anger other Daoist disciples.

It is not as if he would lose his mind and do such a thing with very serious consequences.

What's more, Peng Junqin is a disciple of the Xuanmen who was born in a prestigious family and has strong roots, so it stands to reason that he should not know evil arts.

But if not, who did it?

Anyone other than them and Peng Junqin?

With this thought, Lin Shen shook his head again.

They were the first disciples to enter the Spirit Cave, if there were other people in the Spirit Cave, why did the sect hide it from them?

And why do you kill your own people?

The doubts in his heart did not decrease but increased, Lin Shen simply stopped being entangled and stood up.

In any case, the Daoist disciples who entered the spirit cave must have had an accident.

After all, he is a member of the Taoist Academy, and he must not stay out of it at this time.

Taking out the talisman given by Xie Jingsheng from the storage ring, Lin Shen felt it intently, and his expression quickly moved.

"It's not far, it's around here."

Without delay, Lin Shen's figure flashed and flew in the direction he sensed.

After a while, there was a sharp movement in the distance.

Lin Shen's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly sped up.

As we got closer, the sound grew clearer, but it was the movement of a battle, mixed with the sound of a man and a woman talking.

After turning a rock wall, the sound suddenly became clear, and the scene of the battle also came into Lin Shen's eyes.

In a slightly sunken open space, Ai Jingting was struggling to stand, her beautiful face was pale, and her snow-white dress was stained with patches of blood.

At her feet, a man was also lying.

Judging from his face and dress, he was also one of the disciples of the lower courtyard who came in together.

It's just that at this time he was motionless, silent, and most likely out of breath.

Ai Jingting, on the other hand, is holding a half-meter-tall green tree, with lush branches and leaves, and verdant.

The canopy of the trees is full of fruits, all the size of thumbs, and they look colorful and colorful.

The blue light escaped from the green tree, turning into a light mask with a radius of two meters, enveloping Ai Jingting and the lower courtyard disciples on the ground.

The light mask seems to be thin, but it is unusually strong, and no matter how the two people in front of them attack, they will always stand still.

The two people who attacked the mask were a man and a woman, both in their mid-twenty-four or five-year-olds.

The man's cheeks were thin, he was dressed in a black robe, and his long and narrow eyes had a cold gaze like a poisonous snake, constantly patrolling Ai Jingting's body.

The woman is wearing a revealing skirt, revealing a snow-white belly and limbs, bulging breasts, a bewitching face, a beautiful posture, and a bewitching aura all over her body.

The enchanted woman held a blood-colored whip and giggled as she swung it at the mask.

"I advise you to tie your hands as soon as possible, your companions are all dead, no one can save you, why die? If you surrender obediently, you can suffer less! ”

Hearing this, the man nodded approvingly, and said with a dark smile:

"Although your treasure is strong, but you only have a long-term rest realm cultivation, at most you will be unable to support for a quarter of an hour, and then it will also be a fiasco, it is better to obey me, not only will I not kill you, but I can also let you experience unprecedented bliss!"

While speaking, the man's gaze did not stop at Ai Jingting's graceful body, and his eyes flashed with greed.

Hearing the covetousness in the man's words, the enchanting woman immediately frowned dissatisfied.

"Senior brother, these two people who said yes have been refined into blood for me, and you want to rebel?"

The man smiled and said, "Senior sister, the person on the ground belongs to you, but this woman is in good shape, and it is a pity to use it to refine blood, so you can let Senior Brother go back and hand her over to me to dispose of." ”

The enchanting woman snorted coldly, and was about to refuse, when she rolled her eyes, pointed to the green tree in Ai Jingting's hand and said:

"Okay, you can ask her for it, but the treasure will be mine!"

The man's expression froze.

The power of this green tree is obvious to all, it can resist the joint attack of their senior brothers and sisters for nearly half an hour, and it is at least a medium-grade mysterious weapon.

Beauty is precious, but how can it be compared to such a treasure.

If he wants to exchange Qingshu for Ai Jingting, he is absolutely reluctant!

Thinking of this, the man smiled and stopped mentioning the matter of letting the enchanted woman hand over Ai Jingting to him for disposal.

The enchanting woman looked at it and pursed her lips disdainfully.

On the other side, watching the two of them discussing how to deal with themselves as if no one was around, Ai Jingting only felt bitter.

As the man guessed, although the treasure given by the master in her hand was powerful, her cultivation was too weak after all, and it was already the limit to support two quarters of an hour on weekdays.

If it weren't for the abundance of aura here, she would have been unable to support it a long time ago.

But even so, she could already feel a wave of weakness coming from her body at this time, and it was obvious that her true qi couldn't support it for long.

Once she loses the protection of the treasure tree, what awaits her will inevitably be an extremely miserable end!

Thinking of this, Ai Jingting couldn't help but feel a trace of despair in her heart.

The man and the enchanted woman also saw the end of Ai Jingting's strong crossbow at this time, and immediately stopped leaving their hands.

The blood vessels flashed, and a blood-colored figure separated from each of them at the same time.

The two figures were fluttering and flickering, their bodies looming, showing a translucent and illusory texture, like ghosts and ghosts.

After leaving the body, the two blood shadows paused slightly in the air, and spun towards Ai Jingting.

The Blood Shadow was bare-handed, and his attack method was extremely simple, using only a pair of sharp clawed palms to tear and grasp.

But there was a trace of cold blood between the attacks, and after touching the light mask, it suddenly made a seeping sound.

Under the frantic attack of the two blood shadows, the light mask was visibly dimmed by several points in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Ai Jingting's face became more and more pale.

The man and the enchanted woman were blazing with arrogance and smugness.

But at this moment, there was a sharp and short sound of breaking the void in the void.

The enchanting woman only felt a chill in her heart, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in her heart, and the whole person only felt a tingling of her scalp.

At the last moment, a jade pendant on her neck bloomed with dazzling blue light, wrapping her up and down in the blink of an eye.

In the next second, four invisible sword qi had already bombarded her with Ling Rui's unparalleled strength.

The blue light on the surface of the enchanted woman's body flashed suddenly, and then shattered.

The four invisible sword qi only dissipated, and the remaining two continued to attack her.

But at this moment, the enchanting woman had already reacted, twisted her waist, turned sideways to avoid the side, and successfully avoided the vital point, but a snow-white arm was crushed into a blood mist by the invisible sword qi, and the broken shoulder side instantly surged like a spring!

The enchanting woman screamed violently, but she didn't care about breathing, and the remaining hand endured the pain a little, and the blood shadow that was attacking the light mask immediately turned around and quickly pounced in the direction where the sword qi was attacking.

At the same time, the man sensed danger coming.

A hundred-meter-long red giant palm appeared above the cave at some point, and it fell from the sky with a domineering momentum that crushed everything, smashing down at him!

Before the attack came, the mountain collapsed, and the terrifying oppression of the heavenly dome sinking made him almost suffocate.

The fear of death instantly enveloped his heart, the man's face almost distorted, and he screamed violently, and a blood shadow separated from his body again, and rushed straight towards the red giant palm.

At the same time, the black light of the Dao robe on his body was bright, and a thick mountain phantom appeared out of thin air, enveloping him.

It's a pity that all of this is just a futile struggle in front of the True Martial Realm Melting Soldiers.

As soon as the blood shadow touched the crimson giant palm, it fell into the magma like an ice cube, and it was completely dissolved in an instant, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing.

The crimson giant palm slammed down on the man, smashing him into the ground along with the mountain phantom.

When the crimson giant palm dissipated, only a scorched earth remained in place, where could there be a man?

Catching a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, the enchanting woman was so frightened that she didn't even bother to see who attacked her, and turned around with a scream and fled into the distance.

But she didn't escape far, a cyan monument flew like a meteor, rumbling into her, knocking her into vomiting blood and flying out, half-dead to the ground, unable to move.

Look at the blood shadow that flew out earlier, it has disappeared and has long been resolved.

The figure flashed, and Lin Shen appeared in front of the enchanted woman like a ghost, and walked towards her expressionlessly.

The enchanting woman looked up and said in a panic: "No, don't kill me, I will agree to whatever you want me to do."

Halfway through the words, Lin Shen had already stabbed her heart with a sword, and with a burst of true anger, he instantly crushed his heart into a ball of meat sauce.

With the death of the enchanted woman, silence immediately returned to the cave.

Ai Jingting looked at the slender figure not far away with a dull expression, and was stunned in place, as if she hadn't been able to come back to her senses.

I thought I was going to die here today, my heart was full of despair, and I almost wanted to cut myself, who would have thought that Lin Shen would fall from the sky in the next moment and kill two demons as if he were devastating!

The scene in front of her made Ai Jingting feel like a dream!

"Are you alright?"

It wasn't until Lin Shen came close and asked that Ai Jingting woke up suddenly and quickly shook her head.

"No, it's okay, why are you here?"

As soon as the words came out, Ai Jingting's face turned red and she realized that she had asked a stupid question.

Lin Shen had a talisman in his hand, so it was not surprising that he could find her.

Fortunately, Lin Shen didn't care, and instead asked, "Who were those two people just now?" ”

At the mention of this, Ai Jingting's face suddenly froze, became extremely solemn, and said solemnly:

"They are disciples of the Blood Sea Sect!"
