In a cave in the mountain behind the Purple Void Gate.

Although Sima Ning and Meng Tuchong kept raising their glasses and drinking the best wine, they didn't have much enjoyment on their faces, but looked preoccupied.

"Third brother, such a long time has passed, and the ghost disaster near this Dajin Country is not only uncontrollable, but has a tendency to intensify, if this continues, it is estimated that the time when our people will be dispatched is not too far away, right?"

"Who's to say it isn't. ”

Sima Ning, who was still dressed as a scribe in green clothes, gently put down the small cup, looked at the black-faced man in front of him with a complicated face, and said:

"Fourth brother, although we are among the older ones among the condensate monks, and we have avoided the tasks of the previous batches with the help of Master Hong's face, we really have to prepare well now. Otherwise, if you really have to deal with those ghosts, you may die if you are not careful. ”

"Thank you for the reminder from the third brother, I saved me. ”

Seeing that the third senior brother, who had always been wise, was a little uneasy at this time, and when he was helpless, Meng Tuchong couldn't help but sigh, and after taking a sip of the wine, he smashed this exquisite little cup to pieces.

Although both of them are veterans of advanced condensate for decades, and their cultivation has also reached the enviable peak of the middle stage of condensation. However, both their qualifications and potential can only be regarded as ordinary, and they have no hope of advancing to the Ning Dan in this life, so they stay in the sect with peace of mind and enjoy a comfortable life.

But who would have expected that the Four-Phase Continent, which had been calm for a long time, would suddenly usher in a huge crisis. In the face of this catastrophe that may affect the entire continent, no one can escape, and the only way to survive is to rise up and resist. However, the long-term comfortable life has greatly reduced their actual combat ability, and once they really face the ghost in this state, they will definitely die or live.

Everyone knows that ghosts like to devour the flesh and soul of monks, and they don't die in the face of those ghosts who don't need to be captured at all.

Just when the two of them were silent, suddenly a flash of fire broke through the outside prohibition and flew in directly.

As soon as his mind moved, Sima Ning was about to crush it, and then an old and majestic voice came out of it.

There weren't many things to explain in the Transsion Society, and when the firelight was completely reduced to ashes, Sima Ning and Meng Tuchong, who had long been standing solemnly, sat down again with each other looking at each other.

"Third brother, junior brother's luck is actually so good, this time he actually found two places where ice and fire converge in a row?"

"yes, that's how we finally got six. It seems that in another two or three years, they will be able to truly complete the transformation of their respective ice and fire spirit bodies. When it came to the talented little junior brothers, they all showed a rare smile.

"Great, once they can truly join forces and double cultivate, the junior brother will definitely be able to break through to the late stage of condensate in one fell swoop, and the future is simply limitless!"

"Who says it's not, otherwise why would we two senior brothers keep scolding him, after all, the old man's longevity is less than a hundred years left. ”

"By the way, third brother, junior brother, they should not use their spiritual power too much after refining their spirit bodies every time, we must arrange for the response as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, Fourth Brother, I'll bother you to work this matter, after all, the 'Shadow' under the command of the junior brother is only something we can command besides him. ”

"Third brother, don't worry, it's on my old Meng. ”

............

Dajin Kingdom Xiao Wang Fu inside.

A mysterious figure wearing a black ghosthead mask has reappeared in the gloomy underground chamber.

This time, in addition to the man in black who he trusted the most, there were two more figures in the secret room wrapped in black robes from head to toe.

"Sect Master, I wonder how you think about our proposal?"

One of the black-robed men opened his mouth with a big grin, his voice hoarse, and from his attitude, it seemed that he didn't take the mysterious sect leader seriously at all.

"I'm basically happy with your proposals, but there are some details that need to be adjusted. ”

"Oh, I don't know what the sect leader thinks, if it doesn't affect the overall situation, the envoy can make a decision directly. ”

"Okay, the ghost envoy really deserves to be a ghost envoy, refreshing enough!"

The sect leader nodded with satisfaction, and blood flashed in his eyes: "Actually, my request is very simple, I hope you will help me sweep away those small families in the vicinity before moving 'there'." In addition, you have to arrange a few more powerful people to cooperate with me in attacking the Lianjia General Altar. ”

"No problem, it's just a trifle. Ben can promise you!"

"And I can also guarantee that I will try to hold back those old things as much as possible when I officially move 'there', so as to create the most favorable conditions for your trip to the practice family!"

"Hahaha, okay! As long as I can get my wish, I can increase the conditions I promised you by one percent as I see fit. The sect leader was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately stroked his palms and laughed.

"Hahaha......" The ghost envoy also looked up to the sky and smiled.

Suddenly, two piercing laughter echoed in the gloomy chamber.

With six mutant scorpions who are proficient in earth escape as helpers, the little guy certainly doesn't want to be a groundhog anymore.

In its words, the identity of oneself with the bloodline of the true spirit is noble. Even if you really want to contribute to your master, you have to find rare ores that contain a lot of spiritual power.

Mutant scorpions, on the other hand, are naturally fond of devouring all kinds of poisons, and it is easy to use this characteristic to search for bispholite.

For this reason, the little one comfortably picked his pick, and as a matter of course, squatted on the shoulder of his master, and gulped down the delicious spirit stones.

Lin Quan, who knew the righteousness, acquiesced to the little guy's lazy behavior.

Indeed, in terms of talent and numbers, the six mutant scorpions are far more qualified than the little ones for this job. Anyway, after finding that piece of bisphorite, he still had to use the little guy's ability to dig out the extremely rare companion spirit ore "Qingkong Stone". Let it rest for a while.

As it turned out, the little one's proposal was quite correct. In less than an hour, a mutant scorpion successfully found the bisphite buried deep in the ground.

Following behind this poisonous scorpion, Lin Quan spent a lot of effort to use the Earth Escape Technique to infiltrate a huge underground grotto.

The highest point of this grotto is more than seven or eight zhang, and the size has reached a hundred zhang square. Looking at the entire green raw ore on the ground and between the walls, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled.

The six poisonous scorpions didn't need to be ordered by their masters, they raised their powerful claws and pounced on the best quality raw ore to eat and dig, and they whispered excitedly. The little guy didn't ask the master to urge him again this time, and after a few "squeaks", he consciously went down to the ground and automatically searched for the blue sky stone.

Seeing that the pets had already performed their duties, Lin Quan did not hesitate, and with a wave of his sleeve robe, more than a dozen puppets appeared out of thin air and began to mine quickly. He had already decided to dig as much bisphorite as he could before the little guy found enough blue-sky stones for himself, so that he could serve as food for the poisonous scorpion even if he didn't need it in the future.

He did not rest there, and after carefully examining the entire grotto, he cautiously walked towards one of the inconspicuous corners.

There was a large pile of rocks here, and there was not even a speck of phosphate ore around, and if you changed to a condensate monk, you would definitely not care about it.

However, Lin Quan saw some clues at a glance, he took out several formation-breaking magic weapons with great interest, and after some fiddling, the original stone pile suddenly flashed a faint white light. After looking at it carefully, I realized what kind of stone pile this was, and it was clearly a stone door with very obvious axe and chisel marks.

Sure enough, something is strange!

However, the style of this cave doesn't look like it came from the hand of a ghost, could it be that there is a ghost cultivator in it? But this is not right?

Lin Quan's face was a little solemn.

Judging from the fact that Cui Jin's daughter-in-law "Li'er" was contaminated with the "poison of biography" and "evil spirit" during the same time period, it is not difficult to conclude that there are ghosts hidden in the bisphorite.

It's just that according to his judgment, the yin and evil ghost qi that invaded "Li'er's" body was extremely pure, and it was obviously the real ghost's doing. But the cave in front of him, which was disguised by the phantom array, was obviously from a human hand, which made him hesitate a little.

Don't you bump into a ghost cultivator in the Ning Dan stage?

He muttered to himself, otherwise, this would not explain why a human ghost cultivator would have a sinister ghost aura equivalent to that of a ghost-level ghost.

After hesitating at the door for a while, and after making sure that there was no unsettling aura inside, Lin Quan ordered a humanoid puppet to carefully push open the stone door and walk in.

It was a small cave only five or six feet square, and in front of him was a huge bed made of a single piece of bisphorite, on which sat an old man in a red robe with crane hair and a childish face.

Lin Quan stared at the old man carefully, and only sighed softly after a long time.

It turned out that although this person's appearance was still lifelike, his vitality had long been completely extinct, and he had apparently been sitting on his own for a while.

It seems that this person should have cultivated a domineering poisonous skill before his death, right?

It's just that...... Why is there still a faint sinister aura in this?

He didn't rush forward to inspect the old man's flesh and skin, and he didn't show greed for the two storage bags placed on the side of the stone couch. On the contrary, he kept walking back and forth in the outermost places, and the wariness in his eyes became more and more obvious.

He hadn't forgotten that the sinister aura that Lian'er had been contaminated with had reached the level of a ghost.

Judging from the current situation, this person must have been a genuine Ning Dan stage monk before his death, but for some reason, he hid here alone to practice the ghost path exercises, and he also did it to Li'er for no reason before he sat down, but he didn't directly take her life.

Forget it, let's see what treasures Monk Ning Dan will leave behind. Such a great opportunity cannot be missed in vain.

After consciously guessing the whole thing, he no longer dwelled on the real reason, and took out the proud formation breaking weapon again with both hands raised.

After being busy for half an hour, he finally broke two small prohibitions.

"Go ahead!"

Lin Quan's mind moved, and the humanoid puppet who was exploring the path slowly walked to the side of the stone couch and reached out to grab the storage bag.

Even at this time, he still didn't dare to be careless, who knew what kind of extraordinary powers a Ning Dan monk had? He didn't want to be plotted by a corpse before picking the fruits of victory, how aggrieved it should be!

In fact, as Lin Quan feared, when the hand of the humanoid puppet was about to touch the storage bag, the old man in the green robe, who had long been lifeless on the stone couch, suddenly moved.

I saw a flash of green, and a turquoise withered arm hidden under the old man's sleeve robe was inserted from the puppet's chest without hindrance, and the sharp nails penetrated directly through the back.

"Hey, he's a corpse?"

Lin Quan was terrified, and the mountain shield was in front of him for the first time, his eyes staring at the old man's face and the bird's claw shaped like a dead corpse.

After a few breaths, though, he calmed down again.

"No, this old man has been sitting for less than a year at most, and it is impossible for him to be a corpse in such a short time under the conditions of this cave! Hmm, it should be that this old man made his own skin into a refined corpse before he died, right?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly relaxed, and looked at the special green arm with interest.

It turned out that he found that this arm was not only as hard as a corpse, but also had a strong toxin attached to it. In just a few moments, the part where the humanoid puppet was pierced had been corroded into a large mottled mark.

"It seems that this corpse refining is really not simple, although the strength has been reduced to the condensation stage, but with that special poison, it is a useful killer weapon!"

Lin Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then he no longer hesitated to summon a few puppets again, and even took out a large stack of fire talisman seals with both hands, and when everything was ready, his eyes flashed coldly, and he launched an attack on the refining corpse.

All he had to do now was to completely subdue the refining corpse, and he also wanted to try to see if he could take it for his own use.

............

Two months later, a young man in a blue shirt came to a large restaurant in the "Yinan City" in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

This person's appearance was extremely ordinary, he stopped on the street and looked up at the signboard with the word "Fuyuan" hanging outside the restaurant, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

A moment later, he walked inside.
