Chapter 1065 The oriole is behind
On the other side, the departing boy and young man flew for a long time and finally came to a small barren mountain.

"Here we are, right here!"

The young man stopped and looked at the stone mountain below with sharp eyes.

The young monk followed closely behind, looking down with joy on his face and said, "Is this the hiding place of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng? Senior, what are we waiting for? Let's go down and look for it quickly!"

"Wait a minute!"

The young man quickly stopped the young man and explained, "Don't rush down. The Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng is extremely sensitive. If something goes wrong, it will disappear into the rocks and soil and never come out again. If you and I want to catch it, we must be cautious and not act rashly."

The young man suddenly realized and said respectfully: "Senior is right!"

The young man looked at him strangely, wondering how this guy had cultivated to the Jindan stage.

Although there were many doubts along the way, the young man did not have the slightest doubt and his mind was filled with the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.

He didn't even think about the fact that the young man had spent so much time and effort on this spiritual creature, how could he be willing to give it to someone else?
"Forget it, this is fine. It saves me from having to explain..."

As the young man thought so, he sighed in his heart. He was the great Master Xuan Gu, who was once a Nascent Soul giant who dominated a region, but now he has fallen to the point of plotting against such a stupid junior.

Really everything is impermanent!

Fortunately, the mastermind behind the plot against him, his disciple Ji Yin, had died in the battle in the Chaos Star Sea.

However, there is still one disciple, Jixuan, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Xuan Gu thought that after he got out of Xutian Palace this time, he would first find a way to conceive a baby, and then go back to occupy Jiyin Island, rebuild Xuanyin Sect, capture the missing Jixuan, and completely avenge his life.

Thinking of this, Xuan Gu said calmly in his mind: "Once you catch the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, this person will be yours. Whether you can take over his body depends on your own ability..."

"Don't worry, I can easily capture a Jindan junior!"

A confident voice sounded excitedly in his mind.

Xuan Gu smiled slightly, looked at the young man beside him and said: "Spiritual ginseng belongs to wood. Wood spirits will be trapped when encountering gold and hide when encountering soil."

"In order to catch this Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, I have made a lot of preparations. This golden ball is made of pure gold, which is the best at defeating wood spirits. And these four formation flags are the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation, which can restrain the rocks and soil within a radius of dozens of feet, turning them into gold and iron, and trapping the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng."

As he spoke, an egg-sized golden ball appeared on Xuan Gu's left hand, and four formation flags with glowing light appeared on his right hand. He then handed both treasures to the young man.

Afterwards, Xuan Gu took out a jade box and opened the lid. Immediately, a fishy and unpleasant smell filled the air.

The young monk was originally planning to say a few words of flattery, but when he smelled this scent, he immediately held his breath, his face full of disgust.

"what is this?"

"This is the feces of the Musk Orchid Beast. Even though it smells terrible, it is a great tonic for the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng."

Xuan Gu solemnly instructed, "Take these treasures, place the jade box in the formation, and ambush here. When I lure the spiritual ginseng incarnation here, you can immediately take action and trap it!"

"I understand!" The young monk happily took the treasure and complimented him sincerely, "Senior is indeed thoughtful. I admire you!"

Xuan Gu glanced at him and said calmly: "Remember, just ambush here and don't make trouble. The pure spirit of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng can only be detected by cultivators with strong enough consciousness. Although I have now turned to the ghost way, my consciousness at the Nascent Soul level has not been damaged..."

Hearing Xuan Gu's subtle warning, the young man's heart trembled and he responded respectfully.

After the arrangements were completed, the young man stood in the formation, hiding his body, while Xuan Gu soared into the sky, flying in the air, looking for the trace of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.

In the sky not far away, Yamu, Han Li and Fairy Zi Ling were hidden in the void, looking at the scene with strange expressions.

Although the three people had similar expressions, the meanings behind them were very different.

Fairy Zi Ling and Han Li were dumbfounded by the young cultivator's actions.

This guy got the magic weapon from someone else and used it directly without even checking it. Isn't he afraid that others will tamper with the magic weapon and harm him later?

No, it should be said that this matter was weird from beginning to end. Could it be that this young man didn't notice it at all?

Han Li complained in his heart, thinking that if he were to replace the young man, he would definitely be a hundred times more cautious and make numerous backup plans to prevent Xuan Gu from destroying his plan after he captured the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

Fairy Zi Ling was also amazed at the young monk's stupidity.

But she knew this person after all, and thought that this Brother Li was a top figure who had the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the Chaos Star Sea. How could he become so greedy after entering the Void Sky Palace and fall into the trap of the young man so easily...

As for Yamu, he knew the plot and therefore found this plot twist quite interesting.

In the original plot, Han Li had already met Master Xuan Gu before entering the Xutian Palace. He learned that he was the master of Patriarch Ji Yin, who was harmed by his two disciples and had to practice the ghost way and live a miserable life.

Coincidentally, Han Li was also targeted by the Old Ancestor Ji Yin at that time. The two hit it off and decided to temporarily join forces to deal with Ji Yin.

However, the willingness of both to cooperate is questionable.

Han Li is a cautious person and is naturally distrustful of others. Xuan Gu is accompanied by a ghost. When he was murdered by his disciples, it was this ghost who taught him the ghost skills, allowing him to survive.

Now, thanks to the influence of the chat group, the Xutian Palace opened ahead of time, and Han Li failed to meet Xuan Gu. But unexpectedly, Han Li was gone, and Xuan Gu targeted another unlucky guy, lured him with the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng, and prepared to let the ghost take over this person's body...

Thinking of this, Yamu raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Fairy Zi Ling beside him and said, "Do you want us to rescue him?"

Fairy Zi Ling was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Senior, please don't misunderstand. Although Fellow Daoist Li brought me into the Xutian Palace, it was just an exchange of interests. I have no friendship with him and have no obligation to help him."

As she spoke, Fairy Zi Ling secretly glanced at Han Li, as if she wanted to see his reaction.

But Han Tianzun was a man of firm faith in the Tao and didn't care at all about the relationship between Fairy Zi Ling and the young cultivator.

Yamu found it interesting, so he said with a smile: "In that case, let's try to catch the mantis while the cicada is waiting for the oriole behind!"

Soon, the young man hid nearby and looked nervously at the open jade box in the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation.

Suddenly, a snow-white little rabbit poked its head out from the grass not far away.

It first looked around vigilantly, its pair of blood-red eyes rolling around. After making sure there was no danger around, it immediately turned its gaze in the direction of the jade box. Its pink little nose kept moving, and a hint of human intoxication flashed in its eyes.

"I'm coming!"

The young man was nervous and excited.

But the little rabbit seemed to have sensed something and just wandered outside the formation, not entering.

All the onlookers were anxious, urging the young man to take action quickly, but the young man did not move for a long time. He just stared at the rabbit, waiting for it to walk into the formation on its own.

Until the little rabbit pricked up its ears vigilantly, flashed its body, and jumped into the grass behind, everyone became anxious, but the young man still stood there stupidly, thinking of waiting for the rabbit to come to him.

If the young man was the protagonist, there might be some twists and turns later.

But unfortunately, the young man was not the protagonist, and the rabbit was not bluffing. It really sensed the strangeness of the spiritual energy around the formation and was ready to give up this rare tonic.

This time, even Xuan Gu couldn't bear it anymore.

He was flying in the air, and with a gloomy face he stretched out his hand, controlling a formation flag to fly up, and it landed in front of the rabbit in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, the four flags began to move at his command, and the ochre-yellow spiritual light connected with each other to form a square light shield, completely trapping the incarnation of the Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng in the formation.

During this time, the little rabbit panicked and rushed left and right, trying to escape, but was eventually stopped by Xuan Gu.

When the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation was fully deployed, Xuan Gu subconsciously glanced at the young man not far away. Seeing that he was still standing there, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and catch him with the golden ball!"

The young man was suddenly startled and hurried forward, taking out the golden ball, which turned into countless golden nets and pounced on the little rabbit.

After some twists and turns, the two finally caught the rabbit with a gold wire net.

But this rabbit is only the incarnation of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, and its true body is still hidden underground.

Xuan Gu ordered the young man to watch here, and then he flew up to find the real body.

Not long after, Xuan Gu flew back. The young man saw that the little rabbit in the golden wire net had wilted, and knew that the body of the Nine-Bend Lingginseng should have been dug out by Xuan Gu.

So he heaved a long sigh of relief and said with joy on his face: "Senior, you..."

"Pfft-"

Before he finished speaking, the golden net in the young man's hand suddenly changed. Countless sharp golden threads suddenly emerged and pierced through the young man's body from the side.

Severe pain came from his body. The young man widened his eyes and looked at Xuan Gu in disbelief: "You..."

Xuan Gu said coldly: "He is yours."

Before he could finish his words, a strange laugh came from behind Xuan Gu, and a ghostly figure with a dark cloud rushed over and went straight into the young man's body.

The young man showed fear on his face, and hurriedly took out his magic weapon, wanting to fight to the death. But unfortunately, the golden ball seemed to have some strange ability. After piercing his body, it imprisoned the magic power in his body, making him unable to use it at all.

"Haha, stupid boy, this ghost thread tastes bad, right?"

"Don't struggle, just give your body to me quickly, and I will give you a quick death!"

As the ghost shouted excitedly and greedily, strong resentment and unwillingness emerged in the young man's eyes.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

At this moment, not-so-intense applause slowly came from the sky.

Xuan Gu's face changed and he raised his head suddenly. He saw Yamu and the other two floating in the air, looking at him with a smile and said:

"What a great show of a mantis stalking a cicada!"

"Now that the mantis has finished her performance, it's the oriole's turn..."
