Chapter 692 Soul Transfer
Wen Sihai smiled slightly and said,

"This is the female disciple I just accepted. She is the last one to enter the sect. She is the daughter of the Guan family in Yongzhou. She has been smart since she was young and has good talent. However, because she was born as a concubine, she was not valued at home. She secretly read the family collection and studied on her own. Although she did not have the guidance of a famous teacher, she was able to successfully build her foundation. Later, she was discovered by the head of the Guan family and was secretly cultivated for a few years. She just entered the late Jindan stage. There were some changes in Brother Guan's side and he could no longer teach her, so he sent her to my sect..."

Speaking of this, Huo Wenchang's expression changed and he asked,

"Could it be that after the eldest son of the Guan family disappeared for no apparent reason, the Guan family fell into chaos?"

Wen Sihai nodded and replied,

"Before, Zhengyuan Sect wanted to recruit the Guan family, and asked me to be their intercessor. But the Guan family is in chaos now. Several legitimate sons are fighting fiercely, and the wife of the Guan family is jealous. Before, my female disciple has always been low-key. It would have been fine if she was just an ordinary girl, but now she has surpassed many legitimate children of the Guan family. Especially after the disappearance of the legitimate son and his wife, the wife is even more afraid of this concubine's daughter. The head of the Guan family sent her to my sect to avoid disaster. This time, Zhengyuan Sect summoned her, so I brought her to see the world. I didn't expect that Zhengyuan Sect summoned us because of the matter of Wanmiao Mountain!"

Huo Wenchang nodded.
"Being able to successfully build a foundation on her own as a concubine's daughter shows that she is extremely talented. A little training will be a great help. Brother Wen has found a treasure!"

Wen Sihai nodded.
"It's because I have some friendship with the Patriarch of the Guan Family that he entrusted this girl to me!"

As the two were talking, they used their spiritual sense to carefully scan the vicinity. Thinking that the monsters in this place could conceal their breath and avoid the search of spiritual sense, the two became more careful. When they found something suspicious, they released their magic tools to investigate. Sure enough, they found two giant sandworms hiding in the lake. This time, the two learned their lesson and set one on fire and poisoned the other to death!

The disciples standing by the lake looked relaxed as they watched their master and elders take action. However, Pu Yanlan frowned more and more as she watched the flock of crows flying up and down on the lake.

"Something's wrong!"

She could see clearly that after the sandworms died, countless ethereal shadows did not leave, but entered the stomachs of the crows as they pecked at their corpses. Now the souls of all the crows had become turbid and unclear, apparently polluted by the souls of the worms. Moreover, crows kept flying in the sky, falling on the lake like raindrops. There were at least tens of thousands of these crows.
"What kind of magic is this?"

Pu Yanlan had never seen this kind of magic in the outside world, but she intuitively felt that after these crows had eaten the insects, their souls had undergone changes, which must not be a good thing for them!
Two more sandworms died in the lake. These two were slightly smaller in size, and their souls did not leave the body after death. Instead, they also attached themselves to the corpses, waiting to be pecked into the bodies by crows.

Pu Yanlan watched as the souls of the crows became turbid, and many of their eyes began to glow red.

"not good!"

Some of them had already started to croak angrily and kept pecking at their companions. Pu Yanlan looked around and found that no one around her noticed this abnormality, so she said softly,
"Everyone, don't you notice something is wrong?"

No one else responded, but Jiang Wen quickly took over and said,
"What did you find, Junior Sister?"

"Didn't you notice that the crows ate the poisoned monster corpses but didn't get poisoned as well?"

Jiang Wen thought for a moment and said,

"Maybe the Huo family master's poison is only effective against that monster?"

A disciple of the Huo family shook his head and said,

"No, the poison in our master's gourd is called Green Lady. One drop can pollute the source of the river, killing all fish and turtles within a thousand miles. If you accidentally eat fish and shrimp poisoned by Green Lady, you will also be poisoned. This fellow Taoist is right... Those crows are indeed a bit strange!"

Someone thought about it and said,
"Crows like to eat carrion. Maybe they are immune to all poisons and are fine after eating it?"

The Huo family disciple shook his head.
"It would be a rare thing if the Green Lady made by our Patriarch himself could be solved by these crows!" Pu Yanlan said after hearing this.

"If that's the case, then everyone should be careful. I see those crows are getting agitated. They might pounce on us after they finish eating the corpses in the lake!"

When everyone heard this, some nodded, but some did not care.
"They are just a bunch of beasts, nothing to be afraid of!"

Pu Yanlan didn't say anything more, but just silently took a few steps back...

Over there, Huo Wenchang and Wen Sihai watched as they killed another sandworm and were about to return after circling the lake. However, the crows in the lake gathered more and more and ate faster and faster. In just a few moments, they had cleaned up all the sandworm corpses in the lake. Except for some that were still circling over the lake, the remaining crows flew up and turned into a thick black cloud, rushing towards the people by the lake.

Some people exclaimed when they saw it, and some snorted coldly.
"How dare you be so arrogant, you beast!"

He took out a golden ring and waved it in his hand. The golden ring shot out several golden rays of light, shining on the flock of crows. A few crows were hit by the light, but they cried a few times and fell to the ground, falling to the feet of the crowd with a thud.

When everyone saw that he was so easy to deal with, they all felt that it was a bit unfair to win.
"Look at these beasts who are so greedy that they even dare to attack us. What a bunch of idiots!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the crow on the ground flap its wings a few times, and suddenly it came alive, jumping twice on the ground.
"Wow……"

With a sound, he opened his mouth, stretched his neck, twitched his body, and spat out a ball of flesh-red stuff towards the Huo family disciple closest to him.
"puff……"

With a sound, the Huo family disciple had nowhere to retreat. He watched as it sprayed onto him, but was blocked by the protective divine light and landed in front of his toes. He looked down and saw a mass of sticky meat. It must be the sandworm corpse that the crow had eaten. He felt extremely disgusted and quickly dodged to the side. However, the mass of meat suddenly exploded with a bang, and the scattered rotten meat splashed onto many nearby disciples. Everyone didn't take it seriously. Relying on their own protective divine light, they thought it could be blocked like before...

As a result, they heard a sizzling sound, and the protective divine light was actually broken into countless tiny holes. Then, their clothes and skin were all stuck with the rotten flesh. Everyone exclaimed, and a female disciple was sprayed on the back of her hand. She felt disgusted and was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe it, but when she raised her hand, she found that the rotten flesh on the back of her hand was alive, squirming a few times, and turned into countless flesh-red worms, which drilled into the skin in the blink of an eye.

"what……"

She screamed, her face pale with fear. These changes only took a few breaths to happen, and at this time, the black cloud formed by crows had already flown over everyone's heads.

"Wow wow wow..."

Countless lumps of rotten meat began to spit out from the mouth of the crow above their heads, falling like rain. Everyone screamed and hurriedly used magic weapons to resist, but unexpectedly, the rotten meat ignored the spiritual light blocking on the magic weapons, and went straight through the shield and fell on the magic weapons, immediately making the spiritual light of the magic weapons dim. It fell on everyone's bodies and immediately penetrated into their skin. Everyone was hit, except Pu Yanlan, who had retreated far away early and had enough time to see the situation clearly. Seeing that the situation was not good, she ran away.

Although her speed was not fast, she took advantage of the crows above her head being attracted by the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed out ten feet. She looked back and left without hesitation...

She saw it clearly. After the crows spat out the rotten meat, they immediately fell to the ground and died. However, the rotten meat, along with a cloud of black air, fell on everyone.
"What kind of magic is this?"

Pu Yanlan remembered a pile of ancient books she had found in a cave where a skeleton lived. There seemed to be a record of a soul-transferring technique in the books, which started with small insects, fish, shrimps and the like, extracting the souls of these low-level creatures, applying various techniques, and then sending them back into the body. After raising them for a period of time, they would be allowed to be eaten by other creatures. After being eaten, the souls of the low-level creatures would enter other creatures, secretly absorbing the other's souls to nourish themselves, and when a certain time came, they would drill out and be eaten by more powerful creatures. In this way, a tiny insect soul would be eaten by 749 kinds of creatures, and its soul would keep changing in the bodies of 749 kinds of creatures, slowly becoming powerful and terrifying, and would mutate due to different biological characteristics, and finally be used by monks!
Because the devoured creatures are of different species and have different mutations, even the monk who concocted this thing will not know in advance what the final outcome will be!
This kind of magic is against the harmony of nature and is not tolerated by the Way of Heaven, so most of the creatures created will devour their masters. Later on, the monks stopped practicing this evil method!
Pu Yanlan had never expected that she would actually see this technique in Wanmiao Mountain. Look, the sandworm had transformed into a crow, and after one mutation, the sandworm had developed the ability to devour spiritual power, and could ignore the protective light of the cultivator and drill into the flesh. This was already very scary!

The cultivators in this world rely on the Dantian in their bodies and the spiritual energy around them for their practice. If this kind of bug can drill into the cultivator's body and go along the blood vessels to the Dantian to cause trouble, it will cause great headaches for any cultivator no matter if he is in the Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, or God Transformation Stage!

Unless one is at the Spirit Transformation Stage or above, the Nascent Soul can leave the body at will, thus avoiding the fate of being eaten by insects, but the physical body will also be destroyed!
The physical body will still be needed after one ascends to heaven. It cannot be abandoned unless it is absolutely necessary!

Pu Yanlan ran even faster when she thought of this. Something was wrong here. Huo Wenchang and Wen Sihai over there immediately noticed it and ran over quickly. They saw the disciples screaming and crying, but there was no sign of injury on their faces. They were stunned at first, then looked at the flock of crows above their heads, which were still spitting out rotten meat. Their faces changed immediately.
"not good!"
