"The person behind him is definitely not low in cultivation. If he can help out on the trip to the Tibetan Wind Valley, it will be a big help. As for safety, as long as he doesn't rush to the front and face the ghosts, with his talent in talismans and With that weird movement technique, self-protection is safe," Bai Jiangfeng said.

"If that's the case, I really have to let him take the risk. Regarding this mission, before it is actually implemented, try to keep a low profile as much as possible, just in case." Baihecheng pondered.

While the two were talking, there were bursts of "booming" sounds outside the house, and a thunderstorm that crushed the city for half a day finally tore a hole and poured down.

In the small courtyard, Shen Luo looked at the white light flickering from time to time among the dark clouds in the sky, as if he was a hardworking old farmer, staring at a golden field, his eyes were full of joy.

The task he completed some time ago allowed him to earn a lot of fairy jade, and he bought a lot of talismans and spiritual materials from Lubaotang. He suffered from the bad weather and there was no thunderstorm, so he couldn't draw the thunderbolt talisman, so he could only keep trying. Draw other talismans.

In the end, he consumed more than 20 Ziyun talisman papers before drawing a flying talisman, which caused him pain for several days.

Today, after finally catching up with a thunderstorm, he immediately took out the green frost paper and brush ink, and began to draw the rising and falling thunder talisman.

I have been busy working until the evening, when the sky is getting dark and the thunderstorm has subsided, the sinking work of drawing symbols stopped.

Of the 72 pieces of blue frost talisman paper, nearly [-] pieces were used, but only two thunderbolt talismans were successfully drawn. In terms of success rate, it has improved a lot compared to before.

Although Shen Luo was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, he was quite relieved in his heart.

Early in the morning two days later, Shen Luo was meditating and adjusting his breath, when he suddenly received a message from Ma Mian, asking him to meet up outside the south gate of the city, without mentioning the location or content of the task.

Although Shen Luo was full of suspicion, he had no choice but to stop his practice, left the White Mansion, and hurried to the south of the city.

As a result, as soon as he left, Bai Jiangfeng arrived at his small courtyard, and no one answered his shouts. After asking the guards in the mansion, he knew that Shen Luo had gone out.

Bai Jiangfeng originally came to inform him that he would set off with the team at noon tomorrow to perform a mission in the Tibetan Wind Valley, but he didn't expect that Shen Luo had just left, so he was in vain.

Chapter 0249 Yin Lingdan

Shen Luo quickly left the south city gate and came outside the city.

Outside the city gate, along the road, there were many farmers and traveling merchants who had not been able to enter the city, carrying loads and pushing carts, and set up stalls on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of groceries, fruits and vegetables.

Shen Luo glanced around, and soon saw a grass shed not far away, with a white-faced scholar inside, holding a black pottery bowl with a broken corner, as if drinking tea .

He quickly walked over, sat down opposite the scholar, asked Xiao Er for a tea bowl, and also poured a bowl of tea.

It's just that he just took a sip, and immediately wrinkled his face, and sprayed it out with a "poof", only feeling a bitter taste like mold in his mouth, which was very uncomfortable.

"Senior, can you drink this kind of poor tea?" Shen Luo asked in surprise, looking at the complacent look on Hookhun Ma's face.

Ma Mian had a gloating smile on his face, obviously he knew what it was like for a long time, holding the broken bowl in his hand, he sent Shen Luo to look at it.

A smell of alcohol immediately rushed into Shen Luo's nostrils, he hurriedly begged for a bowl, and after drinking it, the taste in his mouth was diluted.

"Why did you ask me to meet here this time? Could it be that the mission this time is outside?" Shen Luo paused before asking.

"Zangfeng Valley, do you know where it is?" Ma Mian asked with a glance into the distance.

"Hidden Wind Valley? Where is the mission this time?" Shen Luo asked in surprise after hearing the words.

"According to my investigation, there have been frequent occurrences of ghosts and ghosts in Jianye City recently, and the root cause is likely to be there. So I plan to go around and go into the valley to have a look. If ghosts are really entrenched, I will kill them all at once. Get rid of it." Hooking the horse nodded and said.

"It's not a good place there! If I remember correctly, the government's ghost-hunting task list ranks first, which is to clear the evil ghosts in the Hidden Wind Valley. It has been so long that no one dares to go there. Take over this task." Shen Luo frowned.

"With me here, what are you worried about? This is probably the last time I will see you." Ma Mian gave him a blank look and said.

"That's true... Tell me first, how can I help?" Shen Luo said with a hey.

"Boy, do you know? The wind in Hidden Wind Valley before was not the wind of Fengshui, but the sharp edge." The soul-hunting horse face did not directly answer Shen Luo, but changed the subject.

"You really can't trouble me! I have paid attention to this task before, and I have also read some local chronicles. I found that the reason why it is called Zangfeng Valley is because it used to be an important point guarding Jianye, and it has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. , There have been many tragic battles in history, and every time there are many bones and blood flow." Shen Luo said with some complacency after hearing the words.

"That's right. There are many lonely souls and wild ghosts lingering in this kind of ancient battlefield ruins, and there are too many grievances. It has always been a place of great evil. If the wind of heaven and earth cannot cleanse the evil spirit, it will breed ghosts over time. In addition, Jianye City has never been Both the government and the common people are used to treating this valley of Zangfeng as a mass burial, and a large number of dead bodies have been hastily buried here, which exacerbates the risk." Hunhun Mamian nodded and said.

"Senior, do you mean that the ghost trouble in the Tibetan Wind Valley originated from this?" Shen Luo asked.

"According to what I know, about nine months ago, the entire Tibetan Wind Valley was suddenly shrouded in gray mist, and there were occasional bursts of strange noises, and then people living in several nearby villages began to disappear frequently. The government has done so several times They sent people to investigate, but in the end they never came back." Hooking Horse Mian took a sip of tea and continued.

"No wonder the government pays such a high reward for this task. It seems that they want to use the hands of other cultivators in Jianye City to clean up the Valley of Tibetan Wind." Shen Luo suddenly realized.

"It doesn't matter what the government has in mind. Right now, the underworld also thinks that the existence of this place violates Yin virtue, so I need to deal with it as soon as possible. The situation over there is a bit complicated, and I need your help, so this favor, will you help or not?" Ma Mian put down the black pottery tea bowl and asked.

"There must be a lot of ghosts in that place. Senior wants me to use Thunder Talisman to help you clear up some little ghosts, so that you can concentrate on dealing with the big ones?" Shen Luo asked after turning his mind.

"That's right. Your Thunderbolt Talisman, even against high-level ghosts, has miraculous effects." The soul-hunting horse looked at Shen Luo approvingly, and nodded.

"Of course I want to help, but I am only at the fifth level of Qi Refining and my mana is really limited. I can still use the small thunder talisman, but the more powerful thunder talisman can only be used once at most. I can't help you, and I will become a burden to the seniors. Otherwise, how about I draw more small thunder charms for you?" Shen Luo sighed and said.

"I am the body of the yin god, and I am born to resist this yang thunder law. If you don't go, even if you borrow a thunder talisman from me, I can't move it." The soul-hunting horse face said a little speechlessly.

"Then why don't you wait for me for another ten days and a half? I'm currently stuck at the peak of the fifth floor. After breaking through the sixth floor, among other things, the Thunderbolt Talisman should be able to activate twice, and I'm sure I will enter the valley with you." It's a battle." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.

After hearing this, Hooking Ma Mian did not speak immediately, but frowned, turning the tea bowl gently in his hand, as if hesitating for something.

After a while, he suddenly frowned suddenly, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said:

"Forget it! You won't be honest if you don't give me some sweetness. I have a yin elixir here, which is made of rare spiritual materials such as Huangquan water essence and other shore pollen. It can quickly improve the practitioner's cultivation base. With you After subduing the cultivation base now, it only takes seven days at most to break through."

"There is such a panacea?" Shen Luo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said in disbelief.

"I have no experience!" Hooking Mamian said angrily.

"Hey, although it sounds a bit overkill, but since it helps the senior to complete the task, the junior naturally dare not refuse." Shen Luo said hastily with a hey.

"Hey, it's not just overkill, it's a reckless waste of money. Forget it, it's cheap for you..." Hooking Ma Mian sighed and said.

After finishing speaking, he took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Luo.

With a smile on his face, Shen Luo quickly stretched out two hands, took the bottle over carefully, and pulled out the red cloth cork.

As soon as the bottle was opened, a sulfur-like smell emanated from it. Shen Luo sniffed it, and said with some disgust: "This Yin Ling Pill doesn't smell like a panacea, you must be lying to me, right?"

"Give it back to me if you don't want it." Hooking Ma's face sank, and he pretended to be angry.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously! Let's find a place and let me retreat for a few days." Shen Luo quickly capped the bottle, put the porcelain bottle in his sleeve, and said with a smile.

"Come with me." Ma Mian said, put a few copper coins on the table, got up and walked to the official road.

Shen Luo also quickly got up and followed.

Chapter 0250

The two walked for about a mile without saying a word, away from the gate of the city, Ma Mian stopped suddenly.

"Why don't you leave?" Shen Luo came to him, wondering.

"Changing the road." Hooking Horse Face said with a mysterious smile.

Shen Luo glanced around, and it was clear that there was only one path under his feet, change the path?What way to change?

When he was wondering, he saw a yellow talisman in the hand of the soul-hunting horse face, and suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, grabbing his shoulder.

"Walk."

Hearing Ma Mian's low voice, Shen Luo suddenly felt that the ground under his feet became as soft as mud. Before he could react, his whole body sank into the ground under a layer of yellow light.

"The technique of escaping from the ground?"

Shen Luo was astonished in his heart, but his body was dragged by the ecstatic horse's face, and he ran wildly underground, no matter whether the soil or rocks in front of him, they couldn't stop them even a little bit, but made way for them by themselves.

At the same time, the soil under the two of them rushed forward like water, leading them forward at an extremely fast speed, which was several times faster than running on the ground.

When Shen Luo was still admiring the magic of Ma Mian's technique of escaping from the ground, the two had already arrived at a cave underground.

The size of the cave is not small, there is an underground river flowing through it, and there is a line of crack above the head, from which a blurred sky light shines, illuminating the bottom of the cave with a light several feet wide.

"Okay, you can retreat here. It was agreed in advance that after seven days, no matter whether you break through or not, you must immediately follow me into the Valley of Hidden Wind." Looking at Shen Luo, the soul-hunting horse said in a deep voice.

"Of course!" Shen Luo assured with a solemn expression.

As he spoke, he took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and poured out a yellow elixir, only the size of a longan nucleus, which exuded a strong and pungent sulfuric smell.

He closed his breath, raised his hand and threw it, swallowed the elixir into his stomach, immediately embraced Yuan with both hands in front of him, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, adjusting his breath.

The elixir in the abdomen was quickly transported and turned into a warm current, which began to flow in the dantian.

At first, Shen Luo felt warm and comfortable, but not long after, the warm current began to merge with the mana in his dantian, and the combination of the two was like adding fuel to the fire, and it became scorching hot immediately.

Shen Luo let out a muffled groan, and immediately clenched his teeth, pinched the magic formula with both hands, and urged the scorching air with all his strength, driving the mana in his dantian to rush towards the meridians around his body.

Bright veins that are almost visible to the naked eye emerged on its body surface, and wisps of heat began to come out from the top of its head.

Hooking Mamian watched from the side, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself:

"This kid seems to have mediocre aptitude, but he is so proficient in the way of mana movement. He doesn't seem to be a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining. I thought that at least [-]% of the potency of this Yinling Pill would be wasted by this kid, but now it seems that it may not be so. "

How did he know that Shen Luo in the dream was already a great monk who had already reached the out-of-body stage, and he was naturally very proficient in the path of mana circulating in the body. In reality, the cultivation is not fast, and it is more due to this low-quality body. It's just a drag.

Seeing that Shen Luo was in good condition, Hooking Ma Mian felt relieved and went to the side to meditate cross-legged.

Shen Luo was hot all over at the moment, he really didn't understand why such a fiery pill was called Yinling pill?

In fact, although the Huangquan water essence and Bian pollen in this yin elixir are yin in nature, their efficacy is very strong. The medicinal power released by them, in addition to the tonic power in the usual sense, also has a powerful boost. help.

It is precisely by virtue of this medicinal power that fuels the flames, he forcibly pushes the mana that has fallen into the body, rushing up the meridians against the trend, and piercing through the acupoints that were not opened up one after another.

However, Shen Luo didn't have any dharma veins condensed now, and all the meridians in his body were limited in width. This force forcibly impacted in it, and it was like countless small knives scraping inside, the pain can be imagined!

Finally, Shen Luo couldn't bear it any longer, and let out a cry of pain for the first time.

Ma Mian at the side was awakened by the cry, and looked towards Shen Luo, only to see that his body was shrouded in a layer of light, shrinking and relaxing in light and in darkness, his appearance was a bit strange.

He frowned slightly, but he didn't intervene. At this moment, he could only look at Shen Luo himself.

Shen Luo's meridians were not only being tested, even the sea of ​​consciousness was a little dizzy from the impact of that force, but he was holding on to a wisp of divine thought in his heart, running the nameless exercises, guiding the mana to follow the correct path.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and the light of the sky above Shen's head gradually turned from bright to dark, from twilight to starry sky, from night to covering the sky to dawn projection.

Three days later, when the first ray of morning sun reflected on Shen Luo's body from the crack above his head in the morning, his eyes suddenly opened, and he let out a soft drink, and an aura suddenly released from his body, causing a burst of smoke and dust.

Accompanied by that, there was a long and smooth roar.

Shen Luo turned over and stood up, shaking his arms, all the dust around his body was scattered. After closing his eyes and feeling it for a while, he found that he had not only advanced to the seventh level of Qi refining, but also not far from the eighth level.

"Good boy, I was mistaken before, but it only took you three days and nights to directly break through two realms!" Hooking Mamian came forward and asked with surprise on his face.

"This... I'm not very clear. The main reason is that the effect of the elixir given by the senior is far beyond expectations." Shen Luo scratched his head and said after hearing the words.

Shen Luo's words were not false, because he himself really didn't know why he was able to break through so quickly, but he had some guesses in his heart when he thought of the practice in his dream.

In reality, his aptitude is definitely not good, even worse than ordinary cultivators. The meridians in his body are not as natural and smooth as in the dream, and the speed of mana circulation is naturally much slower, so the speed of cultivation will also be slower.

However, because of the realization of practice in the dream, he was spared the most difficult step for ordinary people to comprehend exercises, which made his practice speed increase a lot.

However, the lack of his own conditions still greatly restricted his entry.

In addition to the rather strong spiritual power contained in this yin elixir, it is like a bridge grafted between cultivation comprehension and physical limitations. It can break his physical limitations in a short period of time and force mana to flow in his body at a high speed. Running, thereby speeding up his practice speed.

"Boy, what are you planning over there?" Hooking Ma asked, seeing Shen Luo in a daze.

"Oh, I just want to know, senior, do you still have this Yinling Pill? Anyway, there are still three or four days left before the seven days. If you can upgrade to one realm and two realms, it will be even more foolproof to enter the Tibetan Wind Valley." When the time comes, senior only needs to move his mouth and say where to chop, and my thunder talisman will fall there." Shen Luo said with a sincere smile on his face.

Chapter 0251

"What do you think this yin elixir is, kid? I've been heartbroken for several months just to give you one, and I want more? There's no way." Slightly twitched twice, scolded.

"I didn't say I wanted it in shame. If senior can sell it, I'll save money to buy it." Shen Luo still didn't give up and said.

"Giving you one for nothing this time is already breaking the rules, as for more, you don't even think about it." Said with a wave of the Haunting Horse Face Sleeve.

"Where is this given for nothing? Isn't it the price to go to Zangfeng Valley with you next?" Shen Luo didn't speak anymore, and slandered in his heart.

But having said that, from the bottom of his heart, he was quite grateful for the soul-hunting horse face.

"Senior, is there really no other way to get this Yin Ling Pill?" Shen Luo asked seriously.

"It's not that there is no way at all." Hooking Ma Mian said after a little hesitation.

"Senior, please explain clearly." Shen Luo was overjoyed and said hastily.

"Do you still remember what I mentioned to you last time, the special missions in the underworld that require monks above the Yangjian Soul Concentration Stage to be eligible to participate?" Hooked Mamian asked.

"Of course I remember, you said that this kind of monks can get some special benefits in exchange for completing tasks. Could it be that Yinling Pill is one of them?" Shen Luo asked.

"Through the task, you can indeed exchange for pills, and not only Yinling pills, but also other higher-level pills. In fact, there are many other benefits, such as the consumable psychic contract mentioned earlier. , you can summon other Yin soldiers and ghost generals in the underworld to help out, and for example, you can be allowed to enter some ghosts controlled by the underworld..." Hooking Ma Mian said.

"These are the benefits only for monks in the soul condensing stage. I'm still far behind." Shen Luo was overjoyed at first, and then a little disappointed.

"Have you heard of the ghost market?" Hooking Ma Mian asked back.
