Chapter 46: Ghosts
It's the breath of ghosts!
Li Qingshan immediately took out the soul banner and slowly approached the stone house with his concentration concentrated.
A grimace floated out of the stone house.
Li Qingshan summoned the souls in the soul flag, and these souls did not need his guidance, as if they had seen a delicious food, they pounced on the ghost creature with their teeth and claws.
Not to be outdone, the ghosts tore and bit with the spirits.
The ghost creature may be stronger than the soul in the soul flag, but in the end, it is alone, and ten souls take turns to fight, and it doesn't take long to eat this ghost thing.
Three more ghosts flew out of the other stone houses, howling and rushing towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan induced divine thoughts, controlled the soul to split into three strands, intercepted them, and prevented them from approaching.
The soul and these ghosts tore into a ball, and for a while, one of the ghosts could not resist and was devoured. With the addition of the new force, the other two ghosts did not resist for long and were also devoured.
Ten souls flew back to the vicinity of the soul flag, and after devouring the four ghosts, the souls of these souls condensed a little more.
Looking at the soul banner in front of him, Li Qingshan's expression kept changing.
This soul banner was originally obtained from Xu Hongyuan, and he didn't understand why Xu Hongyuan wanted to refine this soul banner before, but now he has some eyebrows in his heart. In addition to being used against living people, the soul banner can also be used against ghosts. It is enough to use other powerful magic weapons to deal with the living, and Xu Hongyuan's refining of the soul banner is to deal with ghosts.
The outside world has not heard of any ghosts, and there are not only ghosts here, but also treasures, perhaps Xu Hongyuan has been here before.
Li Qingshan had an idea in his heart.
Xu Hongyuan had traveled before he entered, and discovered this secret realm, because he had no means to deal with ghosts, he returned with a feather. After returning to the sect, Xu Hongyuan began to look for a way to deal with ghosts and refined this soul flag. It was difficult to find ghosts in the outside world, so he killed miscellaneous disciples to collect souls, but in the end he was devoured by the souls and died, cheapening himself.
In order to explore the secret realm, Xu Hongyuan refined the soul banner and killed the monks in the door, but he was killed by the counterattack, and the soul banner was obtained by himself. The uncle also discovered this secret realm, returned to the clan, and was harmed by the monks of the Xuanling Sect, and also brought the disaster of extermination. And now, I have come to this secret realm again.
The way of fate is unpredictable, it is true that a peck and a drink cannot be made, and who will drink his cup of water.
Li Qingshan smiled bitterly and continued to walk towards the medicine garden.
He is a small Qi refining cultivator, how can he be qualified to sigh fate. If he is also a cup of water, he must also cover it with water, so that no one will want to drink it.
In this medicine garden, as Li Qingshan thought, there were several spiritual grasses that were thousands of years old, and Li Qingshan dug them out one by one, put them in a box, and put them in a storage bag.
Li Qingshan now knew that the medicine gardens that had no ghosts before must have been searched.
It's no wonder that I haven't seen a single demon beast spirit insect here, ghosts like to devour the souls of creatures, even if there were before, they have already been devoured by these ghosts.
As for why so many years have passed, these ghosts have not dissipated, but Li Qingshan doesn't understand very well, maybe this place is sealed, and the ghosts can't return to the netherworld, or maybe this sect has a very powerful soul-nourishing magic weapon to protect these ghosts. is like Li Qingshan's soul flag, protecting the soul in the soul flag.
It is rumored in the cultivation world that in addition to the human world, there is also a netherworld between heaven and earth, and after death, the soul does not dissipate, but returns to the netherworld. But most monks scoffed, and monks with a modicum of common sense knew that the decline of the soul was just a matter of not being nourished by the living soul.
After exploring several medicine gardens one after another, relying on the soul flag, Li Qingshan did not encounter any danger.
There were not many thousand-year-old elixirs in each medicine garden, which was different from what Li Qingshan thought. According to common sense, after so many years, the medicine garden should be full of old elixirs, not just a few plants.
Maybe there were some changes after this place was banned, or maybe the monks of this sect destroyed all the elixirs during their lifetimes. There are so many ghosts here, apparently there were many monks when this place was banned. These people are trapped here, and it's possible to do anything.
Half an hour had passed, and even if there were not many thousand-year-old elixirs in each medicine garden, Li Qingshan still collected dozens of them.
The soul in the soul banner also devoured dozens of ghost things, becoming more and more condensed, and gradually approaching the strength of the foundation building period.
There are more ghosts here than Li Qingshan imagined, if the soul banner can produce the soul of the strength of the foundation building period, the soul banner can advance and become a hundred soul flags, and if you collect enough souls, you don't have to be afraid of the foundation building monks anymore.
These elixirs may be competing for them in the outside world, and they can be sold for a sky-high price, but they are of no use to the current Li Qingshan. The monk surnamed Qiu and the monk surnamed Han don't know where they are now, they may bump into each other at any time, if they don't have the strength of the foundation building period, they will really become fish on the board, water in the cup.
After the elixir, the search is to advance the soul banner into a hundred soul flags before you have the power to protect yourself.
Having made up his mind, Li Qingshan shuttled directly between the stone houses, focusing on ghosts and no longer looking for elixirs.
He didn't go up, there may be more ghosts in those palaces, but the strength may also be stronger, and the soul in his soul banner is not necessarily an opponent.
An hour passed, and Li Qingshan finally sensed an inexplicable aura coming from a soul in the soul flag, and there was a faint sense of oppression.
Li Qingshan was surprised and delighted, and immediately sat down cross-legged and sacrificed the soul flag, making the divine thoughts in this soul more stable.
After refining a stick of incense, the feeling of oppression disappeared, and Li Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. His mind was consumed a lot, and his forehead was already covered with fine sweat, but fortunately, he succeeded and did not suffer a backlash.
Li Qingshan regained some of his divine thoughts a little, and then continued to collect ghost objects.
Another hour passed, Li Qingshan had already collected enough ghosts, and the soul banner had become gloomy, if it was unfolded, a hundred ghosts would howl, and even Li Qingshan himself would feel extremely terrifying.
At this time, Li Qingshan had already made a circle under the peak, and he did not bump into the monk surnamed Qiu and the monk surnamed Han during this period.
Li Qingshan vaguely understood that they might not have come in, and the previous roar must have been caused by their desire to forcibly enter this place to cast a spell, and then the light mask appeared to block them out.
Sooner or later, they will come in, but they are no longer afraid of them. If you bump into them later, you can't say that you want to let them taste the feeling of devouring the souls of a hundred ghosts.
Li Qingshan completely relaxed, meditated a little to recover the aura and divine thoughts, and then walked back to search for the elixir, he had sensed that there were several places on the road just now that there was a very strong aura of aura, and he didn't check it out in a hurry.
