Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

After arriving at the place, Lin Chen set fire to all the weeds, burning them to ashes.

After this clearing, the dilapidated dance platform finally revealed its full appearance.

It was an open temple hall, very small, with three steps, a terrace, and then the main hall.

The group walked directly up, their eyes fixed on something covered in dust displayed in the main hall…

“Phew…”

Mo Fan blew a breath, discovering that this thing was a wooden fish. What was strange was that the wooden fish should have been smooth originally, used to knock and produce sound, but the arched cover was covered with纹痕 (wen hen) patterns. The patterns intersected regularly, and the small squares formed by the intersections also contained strange characters, which didn't seem like Japanese, but more like ancient magical symbols.

Mo Fan felt very guilty about Zhao Manyan's incident. Along the way, Mo Fan told everyone about the girl he had encountered earlier.

Lin Chen didn't expect the inertia of the plot to be so great. The girl Lin Chen encountered was also encountered by Mo Fan. Seeing the current situation, Lin Chen also gave up on Baxia. It was highly likely that Baxia would be obtained by Zhao Manyan.

“Why is there a wooden fish here?” Mo Fan wanted to reach out and take it, but was shocked back by the wooden fish's restriction.

“It's actually a restriction, let me take a look!”

Nan Jue was very knowledgeable about magical artifacts. In many ancient ruins found by the military, Nan Jue deciphered a lot of useful information and handed it over to the military.

“This is an extremely advanced magical artifact. Every Soul-grade and above Soul-grade magical artifact has a certain spirituality, and powerful magical artifacts can possess souls. According to the clues provided by Mo Fan, that girl should be a demon spirit born from this vessel. She hooked Zhao Manyan into this vessel!” Nan Jue explained.

“It seems that if you want to save Zhao Manyan, you need to enter this wooden fish and rescue Zhao Manyan's soul, and you can't damage the wooden fish itself. Otherwise, Zhao Manyan's soul will inevitably be damaged along with the wooden fish!” Lin Chen said.

“Wait, do you mean you're not going?” Mo Fan asked in confusion.

Lin Chen explained, “This wooden fish won't let us in, so we can't get in!”

Lin Chen was a little helpless. Lin Chen naturally didn't want to miss the Monarch-level Baxia. He originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and take a chance, but he found that when he just wanted to get close to the wooden fish, the wooden fish began to resist him. Even Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu had the same feeling. The difference between Lin Chen and the other two was that Lin Chen and the others had awakened Martial Souls.

Subconsciously, Lin Chen looked at Ai Jiangtu, but Ai Jiangtu's expression was as usual, which made Lin Chen look blank and completely clueless.

“Soul-grade magical artifacts have self-preservation awareness and won't allow anything that it feels is dangerous to approach. It seems that there is something on you that makes it feel fear!!!” Nan Jue said, looking at Lin Chen and the other two curiously. Her eyes were full of curiosity, as if she wanted to see through Lin Chen's secrets.

“The problem now is how do we enter the wooden fish to save Zhao Manyan?” Mo Fan asked.

Nan Jue said, “Let Jiang Shaoxu hypnotize you, and then I can send your souls into the wooden fish. But you must remember that if your souls die in the wooden fish, that is real death, so you must be very careful after entering!”

“Okay, Mo Fan, I'll go with you!” Ai Jiangtu said. As the captain, his sense of responsibility was self-evident. Now that a team member was in danger, Ai Jiangtu would naturally not care about his own safety.

“Okay!”

After a while, Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue sent Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan's souls into the wooden fish, while Lin Chen and the other four guarded the two's bodies outside.

“Can I study the magical artifacts on you that even the wooden fish fears?” Nan Jue asked again, looking at Lin Chen and the other two.

Lin Chen shrugged. He also wanted to know what was going on.

“You're thinking too much. I still don't understand what's going on. Could it be that the wooden fish thinks I'm too handsome?” Lin Chen said with a helpless expression.

“Come on, stop being so narcissistic. If you don't want to say it, then don't, why make such an absurd excuse!” Nan Jue said bluntly!

While Lin Chen was puzzled, Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu also looked blank.

The three quietly walked to the side, and the two girls asked the questions in their hearts.

“Ai Jiangtu also awakened a Martial Soul, why can he go in?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, “I don't know either. Because of the existence of the Martial Soul, I don't even pay attention to magical artifacts. I don't have any decent magical artifacts on my body except for those used for cultivation!”

“Could it be because of the Spirit World?” Mu Ningxue asked after pondering for a moment.

Lin Chen nodded lightly and said, “Perhaps… I'm not sure! Now that you say that, I feel like it's very likely!”

If they couldn't figure it out, they wouldn't think about it anymore. For the three of them, this wasn't an insurmountable obstacle.

The three guarded Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu's bodies while chatting casually.

Seeing Lin Chen and the other three talking secretly behind her back, Nan Jue suddenly felt that her previous request was a bit presumptuous. Everyone has their own secrets, how could she make such a low-level mistake.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have explored your secrets!” Nan Jue walked to the side of the three, saying with a face full of apology.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, “We didn't blame you, you were just a little too curious!”

Seeing the three's indifferent expressions, Nan Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and her goodwill towards this small team increased by another point.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu suddenly woke up, but their condition was not very good.

“How is it?” Nan Jue asked anxiously!

Jiang Shaoxu also asked curiously, “Did you encounter any danger inside?”

“Inside, we saw a tragic love story…”

After the two sorted out their thoughts, they roughly described what happened inside.

“If what you said is true, then Zhao Manyan should be fine! Let's go back!” Nan Jue said.

“Can this wooden fish be taken away? This is a treasure!” Mo Fan said enviously.

Nan Jue shook her head and said, “I can't break the protection restriction on it, I can't take it away. Otherwise, those monks would have taken it away long ago, how could they have left it here?”

At this point, the matter was considered to be over. The group returned to the temple to rest. Early the next morning, everyone wanted to leave this evil temple as soon as possible. No one knew what danger would befall them if they stayed any longer!

“Mo Fan, let me tell you, I had a very long dream yesterday, related to the back mountain of the temple. The things in the dream were too complicated, so I won't tell you about them one by one. In short, it seems like there is a destiny in the dark…” Zhao Manyan secretly walked to Mo Fan's side and said.
