Chapter 32: The Prison Keeper
As Yan Zhen said, there is indeed no aura in the inner domain, but it is not completely lifeless, and some scattered vegetation can be seen in the inner domain Lingfeng, among which is the blue melancholy grass.
There were no less than ten Blue Sorrow Grass that Ling Feng had seen, and what made Ling Feng strange was that since there was no aura here, how did the Blue Sorrow Grass grow? It can't just come out of nowhere.
Ling Feng focused on the Blue Grass at this time, but he didn't notice that underground, a group of beetles had gathered together and were burrowing towards Ling Feng's feet. It wasn't until he was about to break through the sand that Ling Feng sensed the danger, and with the help of his feet, he left the area at a speed like teleportation.
Ling Feng was so frightened that he didn't have time to take care of the blue melancholy, and continued to run away at a very fast speed.
There were tens of thousands of insect swarms, each of which had at least a realm above the foundation building, and there were also many Jindan and Yuanying level beetles, and even Ling Feng could feel that there were several void god-level beetles hidden in the swarm.
Not only that, but the insect swarm was still gathering, more and more, and what made Ling Feng's scalp tingle the most was that these gray beetles were no slower than their own at all, and wherever the insect swarm passed, without the slightest pause, those few vegetation were swallowed up.
Ling Feng could think that if he was caught up by the insect swarm, he would probably end up with no bones left, no wonder Yan Zhen repeatedly emphasized the danger of the inner domain, these insect swarms alone could kill the Void God powerhouse, not to mention that I don't know if there will be more dangerous things happening.
Now Ling Feng and the insect swarm are chasing and fleeing, Ling Feng can't get rid of the insect swarm in a short time, and the insect swarm can't catch up with Ling Feng, however, there is no spiritual energy here, when Ling Feng is always exhausted, although there are still some spirit yuan stones to supplement the spiritual power, but that can't solve the fundamental problem.
Ling Feng found that the insect swarm here seemed to be tireless, and as if they didn't need spiritual power, their speed had not slowed down at all, and Ling Feng was very curious about how these creatures in the Inner Realm of the Depressionless Prison survived and cultivated.
However, for the time being, it is better to get rid of these beetles first, Ling Feng thought about it, and decided to leave some more obvious aura on the flying sword to attract the insect swarm.
Although this flying sword was only used for life, now Ling Feng only had this flying sword, and it was a pity to lose it like this.
But it's a pity, there will always be magic weapons in the future, and the most important thing is to lure the swarm away first and see if there is something you want in the inner domain.
There is such a law in the cultivation realm, the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities, it depends on whether you have the ability to take these opportunities, Ling Feng came to the inner domain to find more blue melancholy, but even if there is no blue melancholy, Ling Feng also wants to come to the inner domain to look for it, otherwise, if it is just rules and regulations, and the cultivation is step-by-step, I don't know what year and month it will be able to soar, and even whether it can soar is one thing.
Of course, there is no shortage of people here who think the same as Ling Feng, the Jindan monk of the Kunlun Sect also won the first place in the first round of the competition, Luo Yu and Yan Zhan, who ranked second, also came to the Inner Domain, in addition, Yan Wuliu also entered the Inner Domain.
Luo Yu and Yan Zan each collected some blue melancholy grass in the outer region, and then they contacted each other, originally both of them had the idea of going to the inner region, and they went to the inner region together after hitting it off, as for Yan Wuliu, she had her own secret.
Unlike Ling Feng, although the three of them encountered some trouble, they were not as outrageous as Ling Feng, so in this way, I don't know if others were lucky or if Ling Feng was unlucky.
Compared to the outer domain, the inner domain is much smaller, after Ling Feng got rid of the insect swarm, he finally had the opportunity to collect the blue melancholy grass, if he didn't have a relationship with Yan Wuliu, Ling Feng wouldn't have spent a lot of energy to collect this grass, but after all, he said that if he wanted to marry Yan Wuliu after Dabi ended, Dabi's ranking naturally couldn't be too bad.
In the first round, Ling Feng had already released the water, resulting in the eleventh place ranking, although I don't know if the rankings in the later rounds will be linked to the first round, but be prepared, the next few rounds must be bright enough.
Therefore, after Ling Feng spent most of his time collecting Blue Sorrow Grass, less than a day after getting rid of the insect swarm, there were more than thirty more Blue Worry Grass in Ling Feng's hand, and with the addition of the ones collected in the Outer Regions, Ling Feng now had almost forty in his hand.
Ling Feng didn't know how much others could collect, so Ling Feng could only collect as much as he could, and if the number was too exaggerated, he would only take out a part.
It has been the eighth day since Ling Feng came to the Prison of No Depression, except for Ling Feng, Yan Wuliu, Luo Yu, and Yan Zhan, everyone else only dares to look for the Blue Sorrow Grass in the Outer Regions, and now the Blue Sorrow Grass in the Outer Regions has basically been searched by everyone, and only those dangerous places or extremely hidden places may still have some left.
Some people know that they can no longer collect new blue melancholy, so they just quit the prison of no depression, but many still plan to hold out until the last day.
On the eighth day, Ling Feng saw Yan Wuliu, who was also in the inner domain, and the two said hello awkwardly and went their separate ways, although it had been a few days since that incident, but at this moment, he saw Yan Wuliu. Ling Feng remembered the gentle and warm feeling at that time, and his heart couldn't help but ripple a little.
To be honest, Ling Feng didn't know how to face Yan Wuliu, although Ling Feng had heard many people talk about men and women in the thousands of years, and even talked about the path of double cultivation with others when discussing the Tao, but it was the first time he had actually experienced this kind of thing, so naturally he didn't have any experience.
In leaving the country, Ling Feng was the pride of the sky, and he was only intoxicated with cultivation at that time, and the only woman who had intersected was the queen of the dependent country who had threatened to marry Ling Feng, and later flew to the fairy world, Ling Feng's foundation was damaged, and he fell into the clouds all day long, as if he was eating and waiting for death, and how could he have the opportunity to contact with the fairy.
By mistake, he and Yan Wuliu had the reality of husband and wife, although he promised to give Yan Wuliu an explanation, but for emotional matters, Ling Feng didn't know how to face it, this was the first time Ling Feng was so entangled, when he thought of Yan Wuliu, it seemed that there were thousands of thoughts in his mind that couldn't be sorted out.
Ling Feng first hid this matter in the depths of his mind, as the so-called boat is naturally straight to the bridge, now he will first get the first place in the big competition, and then propose to Yan Zhen when the time comes.
Put the Blue Grass collected in the past few days into the ring, since the last time he encountered the insect swarm, Ling Feng has been much more careful, so he hasn't encountered much danger in the past few days, Ling Feng is going to look here for another two days before preparing to go out.
The inner realm of the Depressionless Prison, although there was no aura and it looked very barren, but in addition to the Blue Sorrow Grass, Ling Feng also found some medicinal materials, most of which were elixirs used to forge the body, among which the Wolf Fern Grass and the Black Shadow Flower were also of some use to Ling Feng's physical realm.
Although Qi training, body forging, and divine soul are the three different directions of cultivation, they are not only one of them, and there is no exclusion between the three, and there is even a complementary connection.
But for most people, it is wisest to choose the same major, as the so-called greed is not to chew too much, and it will take a lifetime to specialize in one of them, not to mention practicing three at the same time, of course, if you find an auxiliary method, it can also make it a little successful.
The Wolf Grass is a spiritual grass that enhances blood and qi, and is usually used directly, while the Black Immortal Flower is a spiritual grass that increases the toughness of the body, and it needs to be combined with other spiritual materials to refine the Dark Pill, and it cannot be used directly.
Ling Feng has been in the Prison of No Depression for so long, and he has also collected a lot of spiritual grasses except for the Blue Sorrow Grass, but most of them are of no use to himself, and now he has finally gained something, and he has not come in vain.
Ling Feng was about to continue his search, but found that there were hundreds of thousands of beetles not far away, and on the other side there was a group of walking purple mushrooms, in addition to this, there were also groups of creatures of different shapes, actually heading in the same direction at the same time.
Ling Feng originally planned to run away directly, but he didn't expect that this group of creatures didn't even look at him, and still ran towards the southwest of the Inner Domain of the Depressionless Prison.
Ling Feng was suddenly worried about Yan Wuliu, because Yan Wuliu had left from this direction before, and he didn't know if Yan Wuliu had provoked this group of creatures.
Without thinking about it anymore, Ling Feng reined in his breath and cautiously followed, if this beast group was really going towards Yan Wuliu, no matter what, he would have to save Yan Wuliu, with Yan Wuliu's cultivation in the later stage of Jindan, he would definitely not be able to parry this beast group.
Following all the way, Ling Feng didn't see Yan Wuliu's figure, nor did he feel Yan Wuliu's breath, fortunately, he didn't come for Yan Wuliu, otherwise Ling Feng wasn't sure if he could rescue Yan Wuliu in the herd. At this time, Ling Feng's hanging heart was relaxed.
Just in case, Ling Feng continued to follow the herd, and the herd came to a stop after reaching a crimson mountain peak emitting thick gunsmoke, beating around the peak regularly, as if worshipping.
The mountain was filled with smoke and hot gas, an active volcano that seemed to be ready to erupt at any moment, and a red lake was connected to the bottom of the volcano, and the lake was still bubbling hot.
When the monk reached the Jindan realm, ordinary magma was no longer fatal, but this place was located in the inner domain of the Depressionless Prison, and it was obviously not ordinary magma, but this place could be worshiped by the beasts collectively, and there should be some big secret.
However, now that the beasts were still here, Ling Feng had no chance to get close at all, so he could only wait for the beasts to leave and then go and see what was inside.
It's just that the beasts don't know how long they will worship, and if the trial is over and the beasts haven't retreated, they have to leave this place first.
After a long stick of incense, the beasts seemed to be frightened by something, and they fled in all directions like headless flies, and when the beasts all disappeared, Ling Feng came to the steaming lake to take a closer look.
Previously, Ling Feng had vaguely felt that this lake was the entrance to the volcano, but the beasts couldn't take a closer look, but now after a closer look, sure enough, bursts of pure fire spiritual power came from the lake.
This is very strange, the lake was originally made of water elementals, and water and fire have never been tolerated, how could there be such a pure fire spiritual power in the lake?
"Could it be that the beasts in this place rely on this place to absorb spiritual energy and cultivate? Originally, there was no spiritual power in the inner domain, but this is the exception, there is a strong fire spiritual power in the volcano and the lake, if the creatures here rely on this place to cultivate, then they can make sense to worship this place, but they were suddenly frightened and left, and I don't know what happened."
"Someone dares to come here today, no matter who you are, please leave quickly, this place is not for you to come", suddenly, an old and ethereal voice sounded in Ling Feng's ears, Ling Feng couldn't even detect where the voice came from.
"I'm just passing by here, dare to ask who your Excellency is, where is this place, and why are you here?" , Ling Feng asked in disbelief.
"Who am I? Even I forgot myself, but they all called me the Prison Guard, and the name of this place is not something that you are a little Jindan monk is qualified to know", the ethereal voice sounded in Ling Feng's ears without emotion.
"Here's another question, did you say that anyone else has been here today?"
"Yes, there is a girl from the late stage of Jindan who came here today, but this girl is too cunning, and she slipped into the lake while I was not paying attention."
The female baby mentioned by the prison guard is Yan Wuliu who entered this place one step before Ling Feng, Ling Feng didn't expect Yan Wuliu to enter from here, from the small amount of robbery, to the Peach Blossom Valley, and then to here, unlike Ling Feng's accident, Yan Wuliu seems to have a clear purpose.
Ling Feng had already guessed that Yan Wuliu had some secrets before, but Yan Wuliu had nothing to do with him before, so he naturally didn't care, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid this secret is not simple.
