"Takeaway?"

After Zhou Ran entered Zhuo Yipu Zhihai, he saw a blood-red phantom.

Tyrannical, devouring, manic.

The night he stepped into Fufeng City, his heart was filled with this emotion.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

A low laugh came from the red phantom, and he kept smiling sadly with his back to Zhou Ran.

"Huh?"

Zhou Ran looked at the red phantom, and soon found that the phantom was covered with almost transparent chains. Many of them have been broken, and only a few of the thickest ones are still intact.

At this moment, Red needed to turn his head sharply, and looked at Zhou Ran with a pair of blood-red eyes.

The face of the red phantom was the same as Zhuo Yipu, but the expression on his face was more distorted and hideous, very much like a fierce beast that had lost his mind, and his eyes were full of greed, as if he wanted to swallow Zhou Ran in one bite.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

The red phantom licked its lips and kept sneering.

Zhou Ran pondered for a moment, then raised his feet and approached the red phantom.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The red phantom looked at him like a demon looking at a plate of bloody flesh.

As the distance got closer, the laughter became more and more pronounced.

When Zhou Ran felt that there were only these laughter left in the sky, the red phantom suddenly stopped laughing, and there was only hideousness and madness on his face. I saw that he used his force violently, and all the transparent chains wrapped around his body were broken.

"Hahahaha!"

The red phantom regained its freedom and laughed, and immediately turned into a blood mist and rushed towards Zhou Ran.

"As long as I eat you, the deity can directly cross the gate of heaven, Old Ghost Chen, see how you can stop the deity, hahahahaha!"

The blood mist turned into a cage and trapped Zhou Ran, Zhuo Yipu's head re-manifested in the cage, he stared at Zhou Ran and drooled while saying: "Zhuo Yipu, that idiot has always been unwilling to advance to the Star Vertical Realm, what a disappointment to this seat! Fortunately, you broke in with the power of divine thoughts, otherwise the deity would not know when he would be able to get out of trouble." ”

"How do you say the deity is thanking you?"

The cage formed by the blood mist shrank smaller and smaller, Zhuo Yipu approached Zhou Ran and took a sharp breath, saliva flowed more, he circled around Zhou Ran, and said, "The smell on your body is so tempting!"

When the red Zhuo Yipu's head returned to the front, Zhou Ran spoke, and he said, "Soul Parasition?"

Zhuo Yipu's face changed slightly, and he smiled: "The little doll knows a lot!"

There is no record of soul parasitism in the "Alchemy Record", nor is there any in the "Chronicles of Mountains and Seas", but there is information about soul parasitism in the memory fragment of the skeleton inherited by Zhou Ran.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

Scarlet Zhuo Yipu continued to laugh: "If you don't come in, maybe there is a way to destroy the deity's plan, but now ......"

At this time, the blood mist cage had been locked to a square circle, and it could suddenly shrink at any time, shattering Zhou Ran's consciousness.

However, Zhou Ran faced the blood-colored head that was close at hand and asked rhetorically, "What now?"

If he was a person who had achieved divine thoughts with the first three layers of the Mud Pill Palace, there was naturally no possibility of escaping.

However, he is not.

Bloody Zhuo Yipu suddenly sensed the danger, and immediately controlled the blood mist cage to press on Zhou Ran.

"Humph!"

Zhou Ran snorted coldly, and two giant hands suddenly appeared outside the cage, directly tearing the blood-colored cage open.

"You!"

The blood color Zhuo Yipu was completely discolored, turned around and ran.

"Want to run?"

The power of the two powerful divine thoughts merged into Zhou Ran's consciousness phantom, which suddenly made his consciousness phantom stand up to the sky, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the escaping blood mist in his hand.

Scarlet Zhuo Yipu said in horror: "Who are you?"

Zhou Ran was silent, and another giant hand reached deeper into Zhuo Yipu's consciousness, picking up a blood-red grain that was like substance.

"No!"

The blood-colored Zhuo Yipu wailed.

Zhou Ran's consciousness phantom was unmoved, glanced at Zhuo Yipu's sea of knowledge, and turned back.

Returning to his own sea of knowledge, Zhou Ran glanced at the blood mist and the blood red, and finally rubbed the two together.

The blood-red blood mist that fused with it suddenly became dozens of times larger, and it broke free from Zhou Ran's hands in an instant.

The blood atomized into a human form, but it was the first born with two horns.

The freed blood-colored figure pointed at Zhou Ran and laughed: "What a pathetic boy who is so ignorant that he dares to let the deity enter your sea of consciousness and see how the deity swallows you!"

In the midst of laughter, the blood-colored figure turned into a blood mist again, and quickly spread to Zhou Ran's sea of knowledge.

Zhou Ran was unmoved, just quietly watching the blood mist expand.

When the blood mist expanded to its limit, he reached out and regathered the almost boundless blood mist into a single grain of blood red.

In the palm of his hand, the blood-red grain returned into a humanoid phantom on top of his head and feet.

The humanoid phantom, as if having suffered a huge blow, said in horror over and over again: "How is it possible, how is it possible, how is it possible......"

Zhou Ran smiled coldly and suppressed this blood red with his hand.

The reason why Zhuo Yipu was almost controlled by him was because Zhuo Yipu's sea of knowledge was opened up by him, as long as he could break free from the transparent chains that bound him, then he could completely occupy the sea of knowledge and completely swallow Zhuo Yipu's consciousness.

But Zhuo Yipu's sea of knowledge is compared with Zhou Ran's sea of knowledge, just like a drop of water compared to the vast ocean, blood mist can easily occupy Zhuo Yipu's sea of knowledge, but wanting to fill Zhou Ran's sea of knowledge is simply a fool's dream.

Zhou Ran returned to his consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Kun Yu hurriedly ran over and asked worriedly, "Young Master, are you okay?"

In the end, he used the power of divine thoughts, and Zhou Ran's face was a little pale.

He withdrew his hand and shook his head at Kunyu with a smile.

After taking two deep breaths, Zhou Ran stood up and said to He Lichuan, who came over: "He should be fine after two days of rest." ”

He Lichuan bowed slightly, and said to Gu Fengyun: "You take the second child to rest." ”

"Yes. ”

Gu Fengyun picked up Zhuo Yipu and left, and several other people also retreated with interest.

He Lichuan held back the curiosity in his heart and didn't ask immediately, raised his hand and asked Zhou Ran to go to the City Lord's Mansion, and said, "City Lord Zhou, it says inside." ”

Zhou Ran took Kun Yu's hand and followed He Lichuan into the City Lord's Mansion.

The three of them walked from the gate to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda without saying a word.

Entering the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, He Lichuan personally closed the gate.

The yin pupils who had already come downstairs stared at Zhou Ran, and Kun Yu looked at him very vigilantly.

Leaving the two little ones on the first floor, He Lichuan invited Zhou Ran to the second floor.

When he arrived upstairs, He Lichuan immediately hugged his fists and thanked him, and then asked seriously: "I don't know what City Lord Zhou found on the apprentice?"

Zhou Ran didn't answer in a hurry, just looked at He Lichuan.

After a few moments, he spoke, "Soul Parasitism." ”

"Soul Parasitism?"

It was the first time He Lichuan had heard three words, and he was puzzled: "What is Soul Parasitic Technique?"

Zhou Ran quickly recalled the part of the memory about the soul parasitic technique, combined with the blood mist and the swordsmanship used by Zhuo Yipu when he went crazy, and then said: "The so-called soul parasitic technique is divided into two kinds, the relatively simple one is to place the remnant soul on a certain item, if someone touches that item and awakens it by chance, it is likely to be taken away by the remnant soul." ”

"The complex one is to scatter the remnants and place them in some kind of nothingness. ”

Zhou Ran thought for a moment before continuing: "You can also simply understand it as a demon in the heart, a cultivator is most likely to be affected by the demon when he breaks through the realm, this should be better known to the city lord than me." ”

"Zhuo Yipu's soul parasitism is the second type. ”

Zhou Ran looked at He Lichuan, he felt that this City Lord He should have known what was wrong with Zhuo Yipu, probably just didn't understand the reason, he continued: "It should be related to the swordsmanship he practiced." ”

He Lichuan's heart twitched fiercely, and he was so excited that he almost grabbed Zhou Ran's arm.

After calming down the excitement in his heart, He Lichuan half-bowed down and asked sincerely: "Please also ask City Lord Zhou to explain it in detail." ”

There was no hatred between Zhou Ran and the Yuncang Sect, and he didn't feel that they were any kind of traitors when he fought with several of He Lichuan's personal disciples before. The most important point is that the Scarlet Illusory Shadow he brought from Zhuo Yipu Zhihai is very useful to him, and there is nothing he can't say about the soul parasitic technique.

"In short, the swordsmanship that Zhuo Yipu cultivates is a special technique that contains the soul parasitic technique. ”

Zhou Ran saw that He Lichuan wanted to know more clearly, so he went on to explain: "When you start to cultivate that sword technique, you shouldn't feel anything unusual, but when you cultivate to a certain level, you will give birth to a trace of soul seed in the sea of knowledge. As the realm of the cultivator continues to improve, the soul seed will continue to grow until the soul seed awakens, and then little by little it eats away at the cultivator's divine soul, and finally replaces it. ”

The more He Lichuan listened, the more ugly his face became, he closed his eyes in pain, and his fist was clenched several times and released several times.

After a long time, his uncertain state of mind calmed down again.

"Thank you City Lord Zhou for telling everything!"

He Lichuan shook it to the end, and only got up again after a while.

Zhou Ran did not dodge it, and accepted it calmly.

He Lichuan's face was still extremely ugly when he got up, but the heartstrings in his heart that had been tense for decades had been relaxed, and he said to Zhou Ran: "Please wait here for the City Lord of Zhou." ”

He Lichuan hugged his fists and walked towards the upper floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The back, which was originally a little rickety, gradually straightened up.

When he came back, He Lichuan had an extra black jade box in his hand.

He handed the box to Zhou Ran and said seriously: "City Lord Zhou has untied the knot in my heart for many years, please don't shirk this thank you gift." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. ”

Zhou Ran didn't shirk, and accepted the jade box with a smile.

He Lichuan personally arranged Zhou Ran and Kunyu in the courtyard prepared for the most distinguished guests in the City Lord's Mansion, and then left.

Kun Yu looked at the black jade box on the table and asked curiously, "Young Master, what is here?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "A four-grade spiritual source." ”

Kunyu couldn't believe it and asked, "Really?"

Zhou Ran nodded.

A four-rank spiritual source almost means that it can elevate an innate peak master to the Star Vertical Realm, which has always been priceless, and its value cannot be measured by how many gold coins at all.

He Lichuan gave such a heavy gift, not only to express his gratitude to Zhou Ran, but also to seal Zhou Ran's mouth.

Zhou Ran chose to take it, which is equivalent to agreeing not to say this matter.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was shrouded in moonlight.

On the seventh floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is only He Lichuan alone.

He pushed open the window and said, "That's why you killed your ex?"

There was no wind outside the window, only moonlight.

It took a long, long time before a soft sigh came.

After Kunyu fell asleep, Zhou Ran came to the desk and wrote two letters.

The first letter was sent to He Lichuan, telling him that the soul seed in Zhuo Yipu's body had been destroyed by himself, and it would not affect his future cultivation, and hoped that Yuzhou City could become an ally with Yan Huicheng.

The second letter was sent to Chu Zhu, telling him that he could send someone to contact Yan back to the city.

The task of delivering the letter will naturally be troublesome to He Lichuan.

After pressing the two credit seals, Zhou Ran stuffed the jade box into his backpack, picked up the sleeping Kunyu and quietly left the City Lord's Mansion.

Several high-ranking officials of the Yuncang Sect will arrive tomorrow morning, and Zhou Ran, as an outsider who has inadvertently learned some secrets, is somewhat inappropriate to stay in the City Lord's Mansion at this time.

A few days after Yun Kun's boat left the wild goose back to the ferry, He Wangchuan, who had untied the knot, finally advanced to the second turn of the star vertical.

After Zhuo Yipu woke up, he heard about what happened to him, and personally sent Zhou Ran's letter to Yuzhou City, and soon after reaching Yuzhou City, he advanced to the Star Vertical Realm, and also promised to be a guest in Yuzhou City.

Naturally, that's for later.

After Zhou Ran left the City Lord's Mansion, he returned directly to the Yunkun Boat, sent Kunyu back to the Star Palace, and turned around to find Bai Wei.

That night, he exchanged the four-rank spiritual source for a four-star card.

Compared with the three-star card, the four-star card is doped with more extraterrestrial things, and the value of the four-star card itself is equivalent to a four-grade spiritual source. That is to say, Zhou Ran only exchanged a four-star spiritual source for a four-star card. It's probably like spending a huge amount of money to buy a dead expensive wallet, and there is not a penny in the wallet.

It's really poor!
