In the great world of martial arts, you use the Tao of Talisman to rule the ages

Chapter 38 The thief is myself

"What could this rock be?"

Chen Lin squatted down and observed.

After the strange stone in front of me condensed and took shape again, it still looked like a blue wave.

The cut below is smooth, and the overall shape is like a blue pagoda, or a miniature mountain peak, with a natural spire.

At first glance, the aura is compelling and the appearance is extraordinary.

He tried to reach out and touch it, but the result was that it scattered into water splashes all over the ground, and after a moment of rest, it regained its pagoda appearance.

Not even the top sharp corner is missing.

Think for a moment.

Chen Lin took out a clay pot containing animal blood from his backpack. The blood inside was close to condensation at low temperatures and became very viscous.

Try to use the outer wall of this pot to touch the strange stone in front of you.

The result was a grunt.

The stone was pushed and rolled in a circle, but did not turn into water splash again.

Chen Lin pinched his chin, suddenly feeling enlightened.

"So, this thing can only be touched with earthen objects, otherwise it won't even be possible to pick it up."

"Is it okay to use magic?"

Then he tried to wrap his palms with mana and reached for the stone.

It turned out to be picked up smoothly.

It feels very strange in the hand. It looks like a stone, but it feels like holding a ball of water, soft and soft.

He even felt that he could poke his fingers inside with a little force...

puff!
  "Uh... no, did it really go in?"

Chen Lin looked at his finger in surprise. Half of it had been hidden in the strange stone. It felt that it was quite viscous and completely liquid.

He quickly pulled it out and took out the liquid inside, which stuck to his fingers and emitted wisps of spiritual energy.

The small sharp corners on the stone disappeared and seemed to turn into liquid on his hand.

"Is this some kind of natural spiritual fluid?"

In the world of cultivating immortals, the effect of spiritual liquid is similar to that of spiritual stones. It is also helpful for cultivation. As long as it is swallowed, the spiritual energy inside can be absorbed, which can save a lot of time of breathing in and out.

Chen Lin licked his fingers and confirmed his thoughts.

This is really some kind of ectoplasm.

"But the spiritual energy content here is a bit low. Drinking this thing is not as good as taking two more breaths when I practice."

"No, it's because my qualifications are too good. If this thing appears in the world of immortal cultivation, it will definitely kill the heads of those apprentices, not to mention the casual cultivators in Laoshanfang."

"And this stone is more than just spiritual liquid..."

Chen Lin lowered his head and found that the 'spire' that had just disappeared from the strange stone was slowly recovering.

This is actually a stone that can automatically absorb spiritual energy and then convert it into spiritual liquid?
  If someone from the world of cultivating immortals gets this thing, I am afraid that I will be able to switch from a waste material flow to a medicine flow immediately.

This is where the real cultivation of immortality by mortals begins.

The road to Heaven must be just around the corner!

"But this is the martial arts world!"

Chen Lin looked at the remaining spiritual liquid on his finger, and suddenly an idea flashed, and he remembered the "Fundamentals of Talismans" he had read in the world of immortality last time.

He took a breath:
  "The spiritual ink used in the talismans also has spiritual requirements. Spiritual liquid is the best, and there are jade liquid, gold ink and other things on it..."

"In the world of cultivating immortals, I only use ordinary cinnabar spiritual ink, and I have never experienced what it feels like to use spiritual liquid to draw talismans.

Changing my thinking, the three basic materials of talismans, talisman paper, spiritual ink, and talisman pen, the pile I have now is actually inexhaustible spiritual ink! "

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Dangdang twice poured out the animal blood in the clay pot and scraped it clean.

Chen Lin carefully put the strange stone in.

It turned out to fit just fine.

"Hey, God is really helping me!"

He straightened up and looked up at the original location of the strange stone. A stalactite was hanging down, at least twenty meters above the ground:

"Case solved."

"The big snake probably instinctively felt the benefits of this strange stone, so it chose to settle here." "It's just that it can't reach it and can't climb up, otherwise it would have broken down long ago."

Judging from the traces all around, the big snake must have tried here many times, and even the sharp stones protruding from the cave wall were smoothed by it.

Traces of blood flowed and froze here, and the ferocious smell of snakes still lingered around.

The thief is myself!
  Chen Lin chuckled and put the pot back behind his back.

The big snake and the strange stone were just accidents.

He has not forgotten why he came here today.

"What on earth was that strange beast I discovered yesterday?"

"It can't be a big snake. If it's not at home, it can only be some other strange beast."

He turned his head and looked in one direction.

Over there is the extension of the cave hall, which gradually becomes lower and lower, and the terrain continues downward, and it will be dark again not far away.

The big stuff we found yesterday should be not far from this direction.

He lit up a cloud-moving talisman again and walked slowly.

The search for people and Qi talismans still found no life.

On the contrary, soon there was a faint sound of rushing water ahead...

There were some hoofed animal footprints on the ground, stepping directly through the ice and onto the hard soil below.

Chen Lin squatted down and observed for a while, then followed the footprints to find them.

Until I found a messy trace between the two big rocks next to it, as if some large creature often slept here.

There is also a bunch of black bristles around the stone.

He picked it up and took a look, immediately petrified on the spot:
  "Is this boar hair?!"

"Is this really the den of the Ghost-toothed Pig?"

"How did that thing get into the ground?"

Chen Lin's eyes widened.

This thing was very strange, but he couldn't help but not believe it.

Because the farther he went, the lower the terrain became. As he went downhill, there were more and more footprints of Ghost Tooth Pig.

The sound of waves lapping on the shore became more and more obvious.

Until I stood in front of a puddle of biting ice water, the shore was covered with footprints made by the ghost-toothed pig both above and below the water.

He finally believed it...

"This is really the nest of the ghost-toothed pig!"

"This should be a dark cave, which leads all the way down from the mountains dozens of meters high, and directly leads to the bed of the ice-free river outside. The pig can swim and dive. It usually forages outside and dives directly when it is full. Go back to the nest..."

"No wonder the hunters on the ground can't find this guy. Its nest is underground. How can it be found in such an ordinary location?"

Only when the water level of the frozen river outside is low and the hole on the other side is exposed in the river bed can the hunters discover this place.

This place is amazing!

……

After waiting in place for a while, there was still no trace of Ghost Tooth Pig.

Chen Lin knew that now was probably not Ghost Yazhu's rest time.

Normally wild boars rest during the day.

But the ghost tooth pig seems to be the other way around. It goes out to forage during the day and returns to its nest in the afternoon or evening.

He detected it in the evening yesterday.

"Go up now and come back this afternoon."

I guess it's almost noon now.

It's still early.

Compared with descending the cave from above, going up from the cave passage is more difficult.

By the time Chen Lin climbed out of the ice cave again, it was already noon outside.

The wind at the entrance of the cave was still blowing randomly.

He gathered back his loose hair, lowered his head and thought about when to come in the afternoon, and quickly walked out of this hillside with strange winds all year round...
