Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 113 Soul-Eating Rat

This is an old man in linen with a shriveled face.

His skin is slightly gray, and his figure is obviously quite tall, but his figure looks a little rickety.

"We sincerely welcome this senior brother to our village."

The old man led the people in the tribe and bowed to the green figure in front of him.

Although the cyan figure looks young, the old man is still very respectful.

In the Five Elements Concept, seniority is determined by cultivation, or in other words, this is the case in the entire cultivation world.

Old age does not necessarily mean respect, but advanced cultivation certainly does.

Even though he was an octogenarian, in front of Luo Yan, his cultivation level was low and he could only bow his head and look down upon him.

This is why this tribal old man calls Senior Brother Luo Yan. He was also a member of the sect decades ago.

The classification of disciples in the Five Elements Temple is very simple. Generally, there are only ordinary disciples, outer disciples, and inner disciples.

Among them, the ordinary disciples are mostly in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, and there are many of them.

The outer disciples use the late stage of Qi refining as the limit. As long as their cultivation qualifications are not particularly bad, they work hard and practice diligently, there are still many disciples who can improve their cultivation to the late stage of Qi refining before the age of sixty.

The number of people is relatively objective.

As for those disciples who can build foundations, there are relatively few.

At this time, it mainly depends on their personal talents. Those who are younger, willing to compete with other sect disciples, and have good strength will automatically become inner sect disciples, and those whose vitality begins to decline will become elders.

Based on the above division of inner and outer gates, the internal name of Five Elements View is given.

Cultivators at the same stage are treated as brothers and sisters, regardless of age.

Those whose cultivation level is one level higher are collectively called elders.

"Is this the demon elimination mission you reported?"

"Where is the mission card?"

Luo Yan watched the old man take out a jade plaque engraved with the Five Elements Concept script from his arms, with the word "general affairs" on the back.

It is a token issued by the General Affairs Hall.

After confirming that it was correct, he put it away.

"Tell me the specific situation."

The old man lowered his head and responded: "To inform this senior brother, that little thief comes to the spiritual field every night to eat the elixir. Even if I stand in the spiritual field, I have never seen it. I can't say anything. Too much information to come.”

"Furthermore, the situation at the scene is a bit complicated, and I may not be able to explain it clearly for a while. I may need to trouble you to move to the scene to take a look."

"This is my youngest son. He will take you to the spiritual field in the back mountain." The old man did not exchange too many greetings with Luo Yan.

He has dealt with these disciples in the sect too many times, and he is well aware of the nature of these people, and they all want to finish the matter quickly and then go back to practice.

Therefore, Luo Liba Suo and taking them directly to the scene can actually bring a certain good impression to them.

A burly man wearing animal skins walked out from behind the old man. His hair was combed into several thick braids. The muscles on his body were strong and he felt that his whole body was filled with an explosive sense of power.

Luo Yan saw this, and for some reason, the word "physical cultivation" appeared in his mind.

In his perception, this burly man's cultivation level was only at the first level of Qi refining, and he was just entering the world of cultivation.

The external aura looks very powerful, with the aura of a ferocious beast, but in reality it is like a hollow balloon that bursts with a single poke.

This burly man had just secretly looked at himself in the crowd. After being caught by Luo Yan's gaze, he immediately lowered his head.

"Senior brother, please come with me."

Luo Yan let Linghe rest where he was, and casually set up a small Sumeru Five Palace Magic Formation around it to prevent people in the tribe from approaching Linghe.

Once an outsider touches the formation, he can detect it immediately.

The burly man could not forget the scene just now when he looked at the outer disciple a few more times out of curiosity, and then he was noticed, and then he was struck by the talisman light in his eyes, as if he was struck by lightning.

With just an indifferent glance, his courage, fearless of tigers, leopards and wolves, collapsed in an instant.

He felt a little disappointed for a moment. He used to be so high-spirited when he was in the sect.

When I was young, I just joined the sect. In the large courtyard at the foot of Fengguan Mountain, I was talking with a group of friends about the outer disciples. It was just that they were older than them in practicing Taoism.

As time goes by, I will definitely be able to become an outer sect disciple.

I never thought that cultivation requires too much spiritual root qualifications.

He wasted ten years in the branch view, and could not even get past the second level of Qi Refining.

Those friends who were wasting time at the foot of the mountain with him, now nearly twenty years later, the highest level of cultivation is only the third level of Qi Refining.

He can't even get over the hurdle in the middle stage of Qi refining!

Let alone catching up with the outer disciples.

The burly man had complicated eyes and walked in front without saying a word.

Perhaps it was because he suffered a huge blow in Fenguan and lived in the wilderness after returning, so he was incompatible with the people here.

He looks down on ordinary people who are not even good at cultivation. What he likes to do most every day is go hunting in the mountains.

This resulted in his current taciturn character.

Moreover, Luo Yan's gaze just now made him feel uneasy, and he mistakenly thought that he had offended this outer sect brother who had come from afar, causing the burly man's body to be tense at all times.

It was obvious that he seemed very embarrassed when facing Luo Yan.

Perhaps because of his nervous state of mind, the burly man walked very fast, seeming to have completely forgotten that there was an outer disciple following behind him.

But no matter how fast he moved forward, the sect disciple behind him could always stay about twenty steps behind him.

After a stick of incense. "Is it here?" Luo Yan's cold voice sounded.

The burly man stiffened and nodded subconsciously.

Luo Yan and the others came to a low-lying mountain col, surrounded by green trees and no ancient trees in the sky.

Only a faint mist filled the air.

More than ten acres of spiritual fields have been cultivated here. There is a trace of aura overflowing here, and there is a simple illusion formation outside.

Used to prevent wild animals from entering.

However, under Luo Yan's eyes, it was easy to see directly through the fog and see the scene inside.

"Senior brother, there is a magic formation here, please follow me."

Before the burly man said the word "come", he saw this outer disciple from the sect walking straight in, walking on the field every step of the way.

Those psychedelic vision formations seemed to be nothing in his clear eyes.

Every move reveals a strong and confident demeanor.

The burly man saw this and hurriedly followed.

More than half of the Lingtian is planted with green Linggu seedlings. The ends of the seedlings are filled with green ears, and the green waves of the grain stand upright, which is very gratifying.

In the center, the area with the most spiritual power, there are hundreds of first-level, middle- and low-grade elixirs planted.

But at this time, it seemed that most of it had been destroyed by something, and the remnants of the elixir roots scattered around could still be seen.

Almost all of them only focus on the best bits.

And because these elixirs are not yet fully mature, it is useless even if they are picked up.

I can only stay in the spiritual field like this.

In the middle of the spiritual field stood a man whose face looked very similar to that of a burly man. He looked a little weathered.

Luo Yan glanced at it lightly and didn't pay much attention.

He stepped forward and randomly picked up a small piece of elixir rhizome on the ground, with clear teeth marks on it.

It does look like the behavior of some kind of small animal.

The tooth marks left on the elixir were too small. A larger monster would not have left such a strange mark.

After thinking for a moment, the spiritual power in Luo Yan's body was running, and a blue light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, this spiritual field turned into a black and white grid, and the sky and the earth instantly lost color.

In his sight, the traces in the spiritual field were very messy, with human footprints everywhere.

It spreads all the way to the outside of the formation, some deep, some slightly shallow.

The deeper ones are the newly made footprints.

Putting aside these, the most conspicuous thing is the small gray footprints in the center of the spiritual field, densely packed with four toes and five toes interlaced.

If Luo Yan remembered correctly, most rats have four toes on their front feet and five on their hind feet.

This matches the traces at the scene.

But what made him feel a little strange was that there were no footprints of this little thing on the outside of the spiritual field, as if it suddenly emerged from the ground instantly.

Based on the above observations, it is not unreasonable that the suspect given by the General Affairs Hall is a soul-eating rat that can escape from the earth.

No wonder their spiritual fields were mostly destroyed by the fire, and they were unable to do anything about this little thing.

A group of people who were only at the first or second level of qi refining probably didn't even master a few techniques, so how could they possibly deal with monsters that knew how to escape from the earth.

"Did it come every day during this period?" Luo Yan asked.

"Yes, we sent many people to guard it every day, but it still succeeded."

"This thing seems to have come directly out of the soil." The burly man was stunned and responded hurriedly.

This period of time has made them anxious. Those things are not afraid of people.

And every time, he would emerge from the soil, steal a small portion of the elixir, and then leave.

If this continues, these elixirs will be destroyed by it.

When the time comes that there are less elixirs handed over to the sect, they will be held accountable.

"If you have anything going on, please go back first. I'm here to watch you today, so you can go back and have a good rest." He glanced at the burly man with a tired look on his face and said.

Obviously, they have been tortured a lot since this little thing that gnawed on the elixir appeared.

Luo Yan took a look at the elixir in the spiritual field and saw that there was still some intact elixir left.

With the bold character of this little thing, I guess he will still come tonight.

He didn't believe that this guy could hold back with so much 'delicious food'.

When he saw that they did not leave, Luo Yan pointed to the open space next to him and motioned for them to stay there first.

Luo Yan then took out a layer of fluorescent powder from the storage bag and sprinkled it specifically on the area where the elixir grew.

This is the specially made revealing powder he made with the help of the chip on the way here.

As long as a creature steps on it, faint fluorescent footprints will be revealed.

This layer of fluorescence can only be seen by Luo Yan himself.
