Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing immediately stopped Gu Yang. His intuition told him that doing so might lead to unpredictable consequences.

He asked Gu Yang to hide in the bushes, while he carefully began to erase the spiritual imprint on the storage ring.

This brand is indeed wrong. It is more difficult to remove than any mental brand I have seen before.

Hu Qing found the source of the mental imprint and peeled it off bit by bit, revealing the solid core. Then all his mental power poured in and impacted that core.

"Crack!"

The core couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered directly. At the same time, a human-shaped shadow suddenly flew out from the storage ring.

He glared at Hu Qing, his eyes filled with anger, and roared:

"Who are you? How dare you kill the heir of my Wang family!"

Hu Qing was shocked. The younger one was killed, and the older one came. And judging from the momentum of this clone, he must be in the Duanchen period.

His body was tense, ready to respond to any possible attack at any time. If he failed, he would simply abandon the puppet and escape with Gu Yang.

I hope this secret realm can weaken his strength a little, giving him some time to hide.

However, the light and shadow did not attack him, but turned into a mark with black air and flew to the surface of Hu Qing's body.

Hu Qing felt a cold force invading his soul, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

The power roamed in his body, as if searching for something.

Hu Qing gritted his teeth and tried hard to resist the invasion of this force.

If he cannot expel this power from his body in time, his soul may be damaged, which is his foundation.

Gu Yang was watching Hu Qing nervously in the bushes. He was now facing great danger.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, ready to rush out to help Hu Qing at any time.

But looking at Hu Qing's appearance, if I rush out now, I might disturb Hu Qing and put him in an even more dangerous situation.

Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of Hu Qing's forehead and his face turned pale.

Black lines began to appear on the surface of his body, and those lines moved on his skin like living things.

The golden elixir in Hu Qing's body rotated rapidly, crushing all the black air on his soul to prevent it from being polluted.

Soon, all the black air in the body disappeared, leaving only some horizontal and vertical black stripes on the surface of the puppet's body.

Hu Qing tried to erase them with his spiritual power, but the stripes were extremely stubborn and stuck firmly to his skin.

After trying for a long time, the black stripes didn't change at all, so Hu Qing gave up. It didn't affect him anyway.

Even a toe can guess that the main function of these stripes should be tracking. Fortunately, Gu Yang was not asked to remove the mental imprint.

When you are teleported out of the secret realm, put the puppet into the spirit pet bag and see how the old thing finds the murderer.

Gu Yang walked over at this time and was relieved to see that Hu Qing was not seriously injured.

He quickly walked over to Hu Qing and asked with concern, "Ah Qing, are you really okay? What exactly did that just now?"

Hu Qing shook his head and pointed at the black stripes on his body and said:

“This spiritual imprint must have been left by an elder of the Wang family. Anyone who tries to erase the spiritual imprint on the storage ring will definitely get stained with these damn black lines.

Luckily, this thing isn't harmful, so we'll just track it and leave a mark. Then, you can put the puppet in your pet bag, and it won't be a problem."

After hearing this, Gu Yang finally let go of his worries and asked curiously:

"Is your foresight so strong now? You can even detect this."

"I don't know either. This thing is passive now. It can only avoid some basic damage. It is useless in battle." Hu Qing looked at Gu Yang helplessly.

The wind was very strong at night and almost blew out the bonfire. Gu Yang took out two pieces of firewood and added them in.

The flames danced and reflected on Hu Qing's face, making the messy black stripes look even more hideous.

But at this moment, there was excitement in the eyes of both of them. Now they could finally take a look and see what treasures were hidden in this storage ring.

Gu Yang carefully placed the storage ring in his palm, fearing that there might be other mechanisms inside.

He took a deep breath, then separated a trace of his mental power and probed into the interior of the storage ring. Hu Qing also curiously separated a trace of his mental power to go deeper.

The internal space of the storage ring is surprisingly large, more than fifty cubic meters, and is filled with all kinds of items, like a small treasure house.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang's spiritual power gently brushed over these items, and their mood became excited.

"This Wang Fengming is truly a fortune-giving boy. The treasures in this storage ring are even more than we imagined."

Gu Yang exclaimed, with a hint of excitement in his voice that was hard to conceal.

Hu Qing nodded, his eyes swept over these items, and he was amazed in his heart.

"We have to search carefully, maybe we can find some treasures that can be useful to us."

The two began to rummage through the storage ring. Their mental power was like two nimble hands, taking out items one by one and placing them on the ground in front of them.

Among these items were precious elixirs, rare minerals, and some strange items they had never seen before.

Suddenly, Hu Qing's mental power touched a cold and soft object. He took it out and found that it was the head of the black tiger guarding Yang Lingzhi.

The tiger's eyes on the head are still wide open, as if telling of its power in life.

The cut on the neck was smooth, with burn marks all around it, and the blood had long since dried.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

It seems that after they left, the black spirit tiger was eventually killed by Wang Fengming and his men.

Hu Qing put the black tiger's head aside and continued to search in the storage ring.

He found some more pills, most of which were fourth-grade, and the only fifth-grade pills were the last two Zhengqi Pills.

Although the quantity is small, these pills are still a considerable fortune for them.

In addition, there are various spiritual medicines. Although the quality is not high, the quantity is large and can be taken to the sect to sell for a good price.

Gu Yang found six large wooden boxes in the corner. When he opened the boxes, the glittering gold coins came into view, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

There were two small boxes next to it, and Gu Yang opened them as well, thinking that there were still silver coins inside, but unexpectedly they were all spirit stones.

He counted them and found that there were more than sixty high-grade spirit stones and several medium-grade spirit stones.

The Wang family is indeed wealthy, with just one young master carrying so much money.

It took the two of them a long time to count all the belongings, and their mood gradually calmed down from their initial excitement.

These belongings were enough to cover their expenses for the period, and there was even some left over.

Hu Qing put the last piece of clothing aside, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Now we have really made a small fortune. We don't have to worry about food and drink for the time being."

Gu Yang also smiled slightly, his eyes swept over these treasures, and he was very satisfied.

Gu Yang stood up and prepared to collect the scattered items on the ground one by one and do a final inventory.

Suddenly, a pitch-black bamboo tube fell out from a pile of debris and landed at Gu Yang's feet.

He bent down and picked up the inconspicuous black bamboo tube.

The surface of the bamboo tube is smooth, obviously having been rubbed for a long time.

Gu Yang's heart moved. He remembered that he did not notice this bamboo tube when he was counting the items.

It is like a treasure forgotten in a corner, waiting to be discovered by the right person.

Gu Yang carefully opened the bamboo tube, revealing an ancient map with yellowed paper covered with markings.

Gu Yang's heartbeat quickened, his eyes quickly swept across the map, and soon found that the location of Yang Lingzhi was circled in red.

His eyes became focused. Every mark on the map seemed to have a different meaning, and every line was pointing the way.

"Could this be the map of the Nanliu Secret Realm?"

Gu Yang talked to himself, with a hint of excitement in his voice that was hard to conceal.

He looked at the map and found that the terrain near Yang Lingzhi was surprisingly similar to what was depicted on the map.

His fingers slid lightly across the map, and every time he passed a mark, he felt more certain.

At the same time, Hu Qing was picking up Wang Fengming's sword and studying it carefully.

The sword body emitted a faint cold light, and the hilt was carved with exquisite patterns. It was obviously a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

Hu Qing held the hilt of the sword, feeling the warm touch from the sword body. He could feel the fire power contained in the sword.

However, the fire attribute was not his forte, and after fiddling with it for a while, he finally gave up.

"Although this sword is good, it is not suitable for me."

Hu Qing shook his head and decided to take the sword back to the sect, perhaps he could sell it for a good price.

He turned around and was about to hand the sword to Gu Yang for safekeeping, but saw the map in Gu Yang's hand.

"what is this?"

Hu Qing walked over curiously, and his eyes were also attracted by the marks on the map.

Gu Yang looked up at Hu Qing, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes:

"Ah Qing, this is the map of the Nanliu Secret Realm. Look, the location of Yang Lingzhi is here. Doesn't the surrounding terrain look familiar? We are here."

Hu Qing took a closer look, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

I didn’t expect that the Wang family had a map of this place, but it makes sense, the Wang family has been here for who knows how long.

They must have grasped the resources here long ago, and maybe the Fang family and gang members also have them.

He then looked for his next target on the map, where the resource information was marked quite well.

The red cross means that the resource has been collected, the red circle is an unoccupied resource point, and the skull represents danger.

These symbols were quite easy to understand, and the two of them searched for a long time but still couldn't figure out what they wanted.

"Ah Qing, these are all minerals and spiritual medicines, and the Lingliu River is right in the center. It's so hard to choose."

Gu Yang felt dizzy after reading it. He handed the map to Hu Qing and said with his eyes closed.

Hu Qing took a rough look and found that the resource requirements were not very large, but there was one place that was very interesting.

He patted Gu Yang with his hand, then slid his finger across the map, finally stopping at a mark - Thunder Mountain.
