Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"This Ghost Mountain Range is so vast, how are we going to find the Demon Tiger?" Looking at the boundless Ghost Mountain Range, Zhang Yan felt a headache coming on.

This Ghost Mountain Range is just too big.

Its area is many times larger than that of the Tianmu Mountains.

If we search every day, it could take an unknown amount of time.

“It’s simple, let’s go find someone first.” Gu Jingsong said, turning around and quickly leading Zhang Yan into the Ghost Mountain Range.

"Actually, the demon tiger we're looking for is relatively easy to find. After all, it's not very strong, and it likes to eat people, so it usually operates on the outskirts of the mountains."

"Living on the periphery?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan nodded slightly, "Indeed."

The Ghost Mountain Range is completely enveloped by that crimson mist, making it difficult for the monsters inside to escape.

Only outsiders can easily come in.

Therefore, if those demonic tigers want to eat people, they can only live near the edge of the mountains.

In this way, they can use their accomplices to lure people from outside in.

After all, the changgui had already died once, so it didn't count as a life anymore, and those scarlet mists were of no use to them.

This is why Gu Jingsong said it's easier to spot the demon tiger from the outer perimeter.

however.

Again.

This Ghost Mountain Range is just too big.

Even if Gu Jingsong were a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be difficult for him to quickly circle the entire Ghost Mountain Range.

the most important is.

Although Gu Jingsong looked down on the monsters in the Ghost Mountain Range.

However, the demonic beasts in this Ghost Mountain Range also include giant demons at the Nascent Soul stage.

One or two, maybe it doesn't matter.

If he continues to swagger around the Ghost Mountain Range like this, he'll definitely be finished.

Because of the layer of crimson smoke outside, the demonic beasts in the Ghost Mountain Range all hate humans. If they were to join forces, even Gu Jingsong would be outnumbered.

Not to mention the burden of Zhang Yan.

So it's better to take it easy.

Ok.

Gu Jingsong wasn't afraid of the monsters here, but rather felt the need to protect Zhang Yan.

Therefore, this is not a problem.

……

"Let's go, there's a group of people over there, let's go take a look." They hadn't been flying in the air for very long.

Gu Jingsong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he spoke to Zhang Yan.

"it is good."

Zhang Yan and Gu Jingsong quickly approached the group.

Just dropped.

The group of more than a dozen people immediately became highly tense.

The leader appeared to be at the Golden Core stage of cultivation.

Upon seeing Zhang Yan and Gu Jingsong, he quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, seniors. May I ask what brings you here?"

The leader looked at Gu Jingsong with a wary gaze.

This is the Ghost Mountain Range.

It is a hunting ground.

And the prey in the hunting grounds is not limited to monsters.

To some extent, humans are also a kind of prey.

Humans hunt each other.

This is a common occurrence.

In particular, given Gu Jinsong's high cultivation level, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators were completely overwhelmed, so they were naturally filled with vigilance.

Zhang Yan even noticed that the other person's hand was always inside their sleeve.

I don't know what they're preparing.

It might be something like a talisman or charm for protection.

This is, after all, the Central Plains.

Since these people dared to come to the Ghost Mountain Range, they must have some equipment that could save their lives.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. I am an elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect." Seeing how nervous these people were, Gu Jingsong quickly waved his hand and spoke softly.

"From the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

Gu Jingsong then took out a token.

The dozen or so cultivators present immediately showed relaxed expressions.

Since they are cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect, there is basically no danger for them.

This doesn't mean that the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect are all good people who wouldn't kill and steal treasures.

The main point is that if the other party intends to kill and steal treasure, there is no need to reveal their identity as a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"I've come to you to ask for some information. If it's useful, there will be a reward." Gu Jingsong put away his token and asked them, "Do you know where there are demon tigers around here?"

"A demonic tiger?"

Upon hearing Gu Jingsong's words, everyone present involuntarily frowned.

"I wonder if you're asking about those demonic tigers that can control the 'Changgui' (a type of spirit beast)?" the leading cultivator asked after a moment's thought.

"Of course, you know information about the Demon Tiger?" Gu Jingsong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked.

"The demon tiger was actually quite famous in the Ghost Mountain Range, but now they are almost extinct." The leading cultivator looked at Gu Jingsong curiously as he spoke: "Senior, it must have been quite a few years since you came to the Ghost Mountain Range, right?"

“That’s right, I was still in the Golden Core stage when I first came to the Ghostly Mountain Range.” Gu Jingsong didn’t hide anything and nodded slightly.

"That's right. Because the demon tiger can control the ghosts, it often lures and kills the people around the Ghost Mountain Range."

Therefore, the sects surrounding the Ghostly Mountain Range have organized several campaigns to hunt down the demon tigers, and now the demon tigers are practically extinct in the Ghostly Mountain Range.

"Senior may not have been to the Ghost Mountain Range for too long, so he may not be very clear about it."

The Golden Core cultivator looked at Gu Jingsong with a hint of ingratiation as he spoke.

"Are they going to become extinct?"
"I see." Upon hearing this, Gu Jingsong nodded quickly.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

Several hundred years have passed since he reached his current cultivation level, from the Golden Core stage.

It's understandable that so many things have happened.

However, in doing so, the Ghost Pearl would be lost.

At this point, Zhang Yan even considered giving up.

But Gu Jingsong chuckled and said, "You said it yourself, it's almost extinct but not really extinct. Did you get any other information?"

"Hehehe, you really can't hide it from your senior. We do know some information, but we're not sure, so we don't dare to tell you."

"Otherwise, if we waste your time, senior, we would really be in a terrible position." The Golden Core cultivator said softly, his eyes flashing.

"Alright, just say it. If you do, this is yours." Gu Jingsong chuckled and tossed out a talisman.

"what?

This……

"Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior." The Golden Core cultivator immediately smiled upon seeing the talisman casually tossed over by Gu Jingsong, then said obsequiously, "This news is just my guess; I've only heard about it, it might not be accurate."

You can see it.

This Golden Core cultivator is still very cautious.

Several restriction words were added to this message.

"Speak freely, it's none of your business anyway." Gu Jingsong waved his hand and frowned slightly.

He didn't have a good feeling about this Golden Core cultivator.

They were dragging their feet and weren't efficient at all.

But he could understand.

After all, a mere Golden Core cultivator would naturally have to be cautious when encountering a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Otherwise, you might not only fail to gain any benefits but also get into trouble. "It is said that deep within the Ghost Mountain Range, there is a demonic tiger, but that demonic tiger's strength is very likely already at the late Nascent Soul stage."

Ordinary cultivators are no match for them.

Moreover, that demonic tiger has many accomplices, and with these accomplices acting as eyes and ears, capturing it is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

The Golden Core cultivator thought for a moment and then immediately revealed all the information he knew.

"They went deep inside?" Gu Jingsong's expression was rather unpleasant.

Deep within the Ghostly Mountain Range, there are quite a few Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts.

Although these Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts are not easy to deal with on ordinary days.

However, they are quite united when it comes to matters concerning humanity.

After all, high-level demonic beasts, especially those at the Nascent Soul stage or above, all possess some degree of intelligence.

They are aware of their current situation.

"Moreover, the stronger the demon tiger is, the stronger its control over the changgui will be. So, if it is a nascent soul stage demon beast, it is indeed possible that it is hiding in the center of the mountain range and controlling the changgui to continue to lure humans."

She will come and devour the humans once they enter the Ghost Mountains, then return to the depths of the mountains.

In that case, it would be virtually impossible for humans to detect each other.

Gu Jingsong also understood why this demonic tiger had not been discovered yet.

There's a reason for that.

They're very clever; they don't reveal their true colors.

Moreover, due to the presence of cougars, they are indeed difficult to detect.

"Alright, in that case, let's go look for it." After listening to what the other person said, Gu Jingsong gently patted the other person's shoulder.

Then he turned and left with Zhang Yan.

The two walked a long way.

At this moment, Zhang Yan finally spoke up and asked, "Why don't you just tie them up and interrogate them?"

"Um?

"You figured it out?" Gu Jingsong was clearly stunned after hearing Zhang Yan's words. He didn't expect that Zhang Yan could actually figure it out.

“They must be changgui!” Zhang Yan asked without hesitation.

“Indeed, they are indeed changgui.” Gu Jingsong chuckled. “Moreover, just as they said, there is indeed a Nascent Soul stage demon tiger, otherwise it would be impossible for it to control a Golden Core stage changgui.”

As Gu Jingsong said this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

This demonic tiger.

Really abominable.

After killing the human cultivator, he even went so far as to manipulate the cultivator's soul.

This behavior made him feel very uncomfortable.

Even death cannot bring liberation.

They may even be manipulated by the other party.

"This demonic tiger is indeed despicable." Although from the demonic tiger's perspective, killing and eating people is its natural right.

However, from the perspective of the human race...

Then the other party would be truly despicable.

can only say.

The butt determines the head.

……

“They are all accomplices, so even if we capture them, it will be useless and will only alert them. We should do as they say and go into the mountains to find the demon tiger.”

Gu Jingsong said to Zhang Yan with a smile.

"I remember there should be a connection between the 'Changgui' and its host, and if we go there on our own initiative, wouldn't we be in danger?"

After all, you've already revealed your true strength, and for that demon to still dare to lure you over can only mean that the demon tiger is probably not afraid of you at all.

Zhang Yan said to Gu Jingsong.

"It's alright. We also know he's trying to seduce us." Gu Jingsong chuckled, but the smile on his face was somewhat strange.

In summary, he doesn't seem like a good person.

Although Gu Jingsong is on Zhang Yan's side.

But he still wanted to use that phrase to describe the other person.

That's so disgusting.

He could hardly believe that he saw a lewd expression on the face of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
can only say……

The other person is really down-to-earth!
"But do I still need to go?" Zhang Yan asked Gu Jingsong after thinking for a moment.

After all, with his current strength, he would have been nothing more than cannon fodder in the past.

It might even do more harm than good.

"Of course, you absolutely have to go. Otherwise, what if they find you're missing and the demon tiger refuses to come out?"

Gu Jingsong smiled and continued, "Don't worry, you're my precious darling. Even if something happens to me, I won't let anything happen to you." Gu Jingsong said very seriously.

“额
......"

Hearing what the other person said, Zhang Yan could only pretend he hadn't heard it.

He believed that he was a precious gem.

But Zhang Yan definitely didn't believe the other party's claim that it was more important than his own life.

After all, in his view, nothing could be more important than his own life.

Moreover.

How long has he known Gu Jingsong?
Is it more important than one's own life?

impossible.

That's absolutely impossible!

"If you don't believe me, that's fine." Gu Jingsong saw through Zhang Yan's thoughts, then reached out, took out a jade pendant, and handed it over.

"Here you go. Keep this jade pendant with you at all times. It can defend against attacks from those at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and the moment you are attacked, it will teleport you back to the Heavenly Dao Sect."

Therefore, your safety is guaranteed!

When Gu Jingsong handed the jade pendant to Zhang Yan, a look of pain appeared on his face.

You can tell.

The value of this jade pendant may far exceed Zhang Yan's imagination.

After all, something that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find painful to part with...

That value...

Moreover, this thing is indeed very powerful.

It was able to defend against attacks from the Dharma Aspect Realm. Of course, most importantly, it could also teleport people to the Heavenly Dao Sect when attacked.

That's damn good.

This is definitely a life-saving artifact!

With this thing, wouldn't it mean that we could act with impunity throughout the entire Central Plains?
After all, the highest level of cultivation currently active in the Central Plains seems to be only at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

As for those in the True Self Realm, they are either asleep.

Either he's in seclusion.

They were never born.

Moreover, Zhang Yan did not believe that those big shots would make a move against him.

after all……

In their eyes, Zhang Yan might not even be as good as an ant on the roadside.

Ordinary people would never even notice an ant.

Not to mention attacking these ants.

“So, let’s go and meet that demonic tiger.” Gu Jingsong said, leading Zhang Yan into the depths of the Ghost Mountain Range as instructed by the group of ghosts.

Throughout the journey, Gu Jingsong made no attempt to conceal his figure; in fact, one could say he deliberately exposed himself to the other party's view.

Zhang Yan wasn't worried at all at this time.

After all, if Gu Jingsong could casually produce such a precious item, then his strength must be even greater. (End of Chapter)
