Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

The scene looked quite strange, as if some mysterious force was at work, which made people feel chilly.

"Hehe, with this body, I can find that little girl first, then..."

The old man in black robe chuckled complacently, as if he had seen a bright future and was immersed in his own plan.

"But what happened?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind me, and the voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld.

There was an icy chill in the air, causing the black-robed old man's expression to change drastically.

He was so frightened that his soul was about to die. Then, like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on, he turned into a streak of gray light and shot forward, not caring about the corpse at all.

He just wanted to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible. His embarrassed appearance was in stark contrast to his previous complacency.

It also makes people curious about this sudden sound, wondering who is behind it.

There was only a delicate shout, the voice was clear but also contained a sharp force.

Immediately afterwards, a black flame flew out with a roar, and the flame burned extremely vigorously.

As if it had infinite power, the moment it flew out, it suddenly turned into a shiny black monster bird about ten feet in size.

This strange bird looked quite bizarre, its body as black as ink, its feathers gleaming with strange luster under the light of the fire, as if every feather contained mysterious power.

It simply spread its wings and moved extremely quickly, somehow crossing a distance of more than thirty feet in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the old man, and then pounced on him without hesitation.

The posture seemed to knock the old man to the ground in an instant, and it was menacing and exuded a fierce aura.

The old man in black robe was obviously no ordinary person. Although he had not turned around yet, he seemed to have known everything that was happening behind him with his powerful perception ability.

He just roared without thinking, and the roar was so powerful that it seemed to break through the sky.

One sleeve was swung backwards, creating a gust of wind as the arm swung, while the other hand quickly touched the top of his head with extremely skillful movements.

Suddenly, a small gray banner and a emerald green jade fan appeared behind him at the same time.

In an instant, the two treasures turned into a thick gray and green light halo. The light halo looked quite thick, as if it was indestructible.

The old man's figure was instantly submerged in it, as if he was wearing a layer of solid armor, trying to use it to resist the attack of the strange bird.

But what was unexpected was that an incredible scene appeared!

As soon as the big black bird swooped down onto the glow of light, it turned into a raging black flame.

The flame seemed to have life and instantly spread towards the glow.

The light that originally seemed to be different and able to resist attacks suddenly "puffed" away.

It turned into nothing like paper and disappeared completely. It was completely unable to withstand the invasion of the black flames.

Then, the old man's own protective aura was directly ignited by the black flames and instantly turned into a strange black color.

The black aura seemed to exude a dangerous and strange aura, as if it was possessed by some evil power.

The old man didn't even make a sound. Under the burning of the black flame, even his body and Nascent Soul quickly turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The whole process happened so quickly that people had no time to react and could only watch him being destroyed. This shows how powerful the black flame is.

Then, the black flame rolled into the air and turned into a big black bird again.

The big bird circled in the air, as if it had completed its mission, and flew back along the same path at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Only a cloud of black smoke remained, proving that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

At this moment, next to the body of the purple-robed man several dozen feet away, the space began to fluctuate. The fluctuation was as obvious as ripples on the water.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful figure appeared. It was the young woman in palace dress who had clearly left.

She just waved at the black bird flying in the distance. The movement was gentle but carried an invisible power.

The black bird suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke and sank into the bracelet on her wrist at an extremely fast speed.

It disappeared, as if it was taken into a mysterious space. The whole process was extremely natural. It was obvious that the young woman had complete control over the black bird.

The young woman in palace dress glanced coldly towards the place where the old man was buried in the distance. There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in her eyes, as if she was mocking the old man for overestimating his own abilities.

Then she glanced at the corpse that was strangely floating in front of her, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face. That smile was full of sarcasm, as if all this was within her expectations.

"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nether Corpse Valley who can't even deal with my spiritual birds dares to follow me stealthily!"

"However, the corpse transformation technique of the Nether Corpse Valley is quite magical. This temporarily transformed body is just right for me to borrow for use."

The young woman in palace dress finished talking to herself and as she opened her mouth, a black light as big as a fist flew out.

The black light flashed with mysterious light and moved at an extremely fast speed. It instantly sank into the body of the purple-robed man, as if it had injected some special power into the body.

Then, the young woman clasped her hands together, her fingers flexibly changing into various gestures, and she began to mutter something.

The spell was obscure and difficult to understand, yet it exuded a mysterious aura, as if it was performing some advanced magic.

After a moment, a layer of black light suddenly appeared on the surface of the corpse, and the black light flashed with strange light.

The corpse was enveloped in it, but soon the black light disappeared in a flash. The whole process was quite magical.

Immediately afterwards, the big man moved his body, landed steadily on the ground, and stood in front of the young woman.

But at this moment, his eyes were dull and lifeless, like a puppet without a soul.

Allowing others to control him, it is obvious that he is being controlled by the young woman using special means.

The young woman in palace dress flipped her hand, and the blood-red round bead appeared again, emitting a faint red light in her hand, revealing a mysterious aura.

She raised her hand, and the round bead seemed to be pulled by a force and shot towards the big man at an extremely fast speed, reaching the big man's mouth in the blink of an eye.

The purple-robed man opened his mouth woodenly and swallowed the bead into his stomach in one gulp. There was no hesitation at all during the whole process, as if it was a pre-set program, and he completed the action mechanically.

Seeing this scene, the young woman showed a strange smile on her face and moved her mouth a few times, but no sound came out, as if she was silently conveying some instructions.

Almost at the same time, the big man in front of him suddenly showed an expression similar to that of the young woman. Then, he suddenly spoke in the same voice as the purple-robed big man when he was alive:

"Yes, yes. As long as there are no cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, they should not notice the abnormality of this body. A little distraction is enough to deal with everything at the moment."

The voice sounded exactly the same as the one from the purple-robed man before, if someone didn't know the truth.

I'm afraid it's impossible to tell that this is not the same person anymore. This shows how wonderful and sophisticated this young woman's methods are.

The young woman giggled, the laughter was crisp but carried an elusive meaning.

Then, her figure flashed and disappeared again as if she had merged into the surrounding air.

Only the purple-robed man was left standing there motionless, like a sculpture.

Standing there quietly, the whole scene seemed quite strange, with an air of mystery.

After an unknown amount of time, the big man's eyes suddenly flashed, and there seemed to be a hint of spirit in his originally dull eyes.

Then he raised his legs and walked away. His movements seemed a little stiff, but he was fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dense forest.

As if carrying out a mission, the area soon returned to its original tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Only the silent forest was left, swaying gently in the breeze, as if telling the story that had just happened.

At the same time, in the wooden house where Mrs. Fang was, Yan Yun had already heard everything the other party had said.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face and his brows were slightly furrowed. He was obviously thinking about the pros and cons of the matter, and constantly weighing in his mind whether to agree to the other party's request.

"From what Madam said just now, she wants me to help Qin Xianshi and others go to a monster's lair and get a spiritual herb called 'Seven-Leaf Yin-Blood Ganoderma'."

"But the only passage leading to this spiritual herb has been set up with a gold restriction by those monster beasts. It requires a body cultivator with thick skin and great strength to break this restriction. Is that right?"

Yan Yun spoke slowly, with a hint of caution in his tone.

I want to confirm the specific circumstances of the matter again. After all, this is not a trivial matter and it concerns my own safety.

"Brother Yan is right! Although we can break this restriction by force with our cultivation, if we use our magic power."

"It is very likely that the guarding monster will discover it in advance and swallow the spiritual herb first. Therefore, we can only find mortals without magical powers to quietly break the ban."

"Of course, Qin will never let Brother Yan take risks in vain. He will definitely reward him handsomely afterwards."

The man in brocade robe said this with unusual sincerity. He looked at Yan Yun sincerely with a look of expectation in his eyes.

I hope Yan Yun can agree. After all, they really need the help of a body cultivator like Yan Yun.

"Thank you very much?"

Yan Yun's eyes flickered a few times, and it was obvious that he cared a lot about this so-called generous reward.

He wanted to know what kind of benefits the other party could give and whether it was worth taking the risk.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of our sect's Nine Mysterious Jade Pool?"

"The water in the depths of this pool has incredible and strange power. It is not very useful to us cultivators, but it is extremely useful to mortals who practice body refining techniques."

"It can stimulate the whole body and help it break through a bottleneck."

"Of course, this effect only works once. It will be useless if you soak it again."

"Therefore, many body cultivators are on good terms with our sect, including many mid- to high-level body cultivators."

"As long as you agree to help us get the elixir, we brothers will sign a petition to ask for the next soaking opportunity. What do you think, Brother Yan?"

The man in brocade robe said expectantly that he felt that the opportunity of Jiuxuan Mingyutan should be very attractive to Yan Yun.

After all, it can help break through the bottleneck of body refining techniques, which is the dream of many body refining practitioners.

"Nine Mysterious Jade Pool! This is the first time I've heard of it."

Yan Yun's eyebrows twitched, revealing a hint of hesitation. He thought to himself that he had never heard of this place before.

I didn't know whether what the man in brocade robe said was true or not, so I was still a little hesitant and didn't dare to agree easily.

"You seem to be from a very far place, so it's not surprising that you don't know this. After all, the Jinyu Sect isn't a very big sect."

"But all the nearby body cultivators know about this. Just ask others and you'll know whether it's true or not."

The man surnamed Qin said with a smile, trying to dispel Yan Yun's doubts and make Yan Yun believe that what he said was true, so that Yan Yun would agree to help.

Yan Yun fell silent again after hearing this. After a while, he asked in a deep voice:
"Just help break the gold restriction. I don't need to do anything else?"

He thought to himself that if he only needed to break the ban and didn't have to worry about other things, then the risk would be relatively smaller, so he could consider it.

"Of course. I asked Brother Yan to help me deal with this gold restriction. I will leave the rest to my fellow apprentices."

"Once the beast tide breaks out, the number of ordinary beasts near the monster's lair will definitely decrease greatly, and it will be much easier to sneak into the monster's lair."

"The only pity is that Anyuan City was breached too early. I'm afraid the number of monsters in the cave has not decreased much."

Seeing that Yan Yun was interested, the man in brocade robe said happily that he felt that Yan Yun would most likely agree to the question.

So I was so happy that I quickly explained the situation to Yan Yun in detail so that he could make up his mind.

When Yan Yun heard this, his thoughts began to race again.

To be honest, if there was no so-called Jiuxuan Mingyutan, and if there were other benefits, Yan Yun would never have gotten the Yinxuezhi for these youngsters.

This kind of spiritual herb that is useful to Jindan cultivators has long lost its appeal to him. After all, he has his own cultivation goals and pursuits.

But it can help him break through the bottleneck of body refining techniques. This is a not-so-small benefit that can save him more than ten years of hard training.

This is a great temptation for him who is racing against time and wants to master the Vajra Sutra as soon as possible.

Moreover, a mere gold restriction is a piece of cake for someone like him who is half an expert in formations to break, even without using any mana. He is very confident in his attainments in formations.

"Okay! As long as I can be convinced that after helping you get the Yin Blood Ganoderma, I can really enter the Nine Mysterious Jade Pool once, I will agree to this." (End of this chapter)
