Chapter 168: Lady Bones

After leaving the Yinsha Forest, Chen Luo began to mobilize the evil magic power in his body. His own aura also changed little by little to become the same as that of the evil magic land. This way, he would not be as conspicuous as before.

Three hundred miles to the west, there is a gathering place for evil cultivators, called Baiguling, which is a city controlled by Madam Baigu.

After entering Baiguling, Chen Luo clearly felt that all kinds of evil spirits and resentments were becoming more intense. Even there was an indescribable energy in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The evil cultivation techniques here were obviously becoming more active, which aroused Chen Luo's interest in the evil cultivation techniques that Bai Su had traded to him.

Recalling Guoshan County in She Country and the main practice of his master Wuwei Zhenren, Chen Luo had a vague guess about the origins of his master.

Baiguling.

The entire range is surrounded by mountains, on which grow a large number of forests.

There was only one road left from here. Before reaching the pass, Chen Luo saw the mountaintops surrounded by thick gray fog, like wolf smoke.

The evil spirit is so condensed that it can be seen with the naked eye!

There is a wooden tower at the checkpoint, on which a large group of ordinary warriors are patrolling. These warriors are wearing feather clothes, like barbarians, with black and white feathers on their heads, and bone swords on their backs. Occasionally, there is some dark green light flashing on the swords. They are obviously vicious magic weapons, specially used to deal with immortal cultivators.

Chen Luo walked in through the checkpoint like an ordinary person.

There were no difficulties encountered during the process. Everyone here was very alert and almost never talked to strangers. Chen Luo also met a few cultivators on his way here, but these people were in a hurry to come and go. Once someone approached, their first reaction was to take out their magic weapons and be on guard.

When arriving in an unfamiliar place, the first step is naturally to inquire about information and familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment.

Chen Luo bought a lot of information at the Shanyin Pass exchange meeting, which included a news outlet for White Bone City. Following the clues left by Madam Xuegu, Chen Luo easily found the corresponding store in the city.

A butcher shop.

The butcher shop was very deserted. There were two pieces of unsold meat hanging in front of the stall, and no one knew what kind of creature they were.

A butcher with a face full of fat sat behind the stall, looking at the passers-by with a cold gaze. The look in his eyes was like he was looking at moving pork, which made people shudder.

"Buy meat."

Chen Luo walked to the front of the stall and threw out two spirit stones.

His current appearance had been modified using the method of the casual cultivator Wan Ming, and with the evil aura emanating from his body, his demeanor and temperament were no different from those of the people in the city.

"How much?"

The butcher took the spirit stone and weighed it in his palm. Then he looked Chen Luo up and down and asked.

"I want all the local pork from White Bone City."

Before Chen Luo came here, he bought a lot of information and also absorbed the "brothers" of the Black Wind Cave Master, so he knew the jargon here very well. Local pork means local information, and the local pork of White Bone City means buying all the information in White Bone City.

"This amount of money is not enough."

The butcher grinned, this is big business.

"At least this number."

He gestured with his hands outstretched.

"Fifty spirit stones?"

Chen Luo frowned. Information like this that can be sold repeatedly should be sold at a low profit but in large quantities.

"It's five thousand!"

The butcher looked grim, expressing his dissatisfaction with Chen Luo's ignorance.

“So expensive?”

Chen Luo looked at the butcher and took a closer look at his head.

Quite round.

"If you are poor, don't buy meat! Go find those low-class rats and buy rat meat. It's cheaper there."

The butcher looked disdainful and sat back in his stall. This was the White Bone City, and with the White Bone Lady's intimidation, he wasn't worried about his safety at all. How could someone open such a big "butcher shop" in the city without someone behind it?

"Have one."

Chen Luo took out five sparkling spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them on the table. These were five top-grade spirit stones, with the contribution of Elder An. He was not short of money, but he was not used to being cheated.

"That's more like it."

The butcher opened the drawer with satisfaction, felt around inside with his greasy hands, then took out a black bone and threw it to Chen Luo.

"Both money and goods are cleared."

After finishing his business, the butcher ignored Chen Luo.

He had just checked Chen Luo's cultivation, but couldn't sense it, which meant that his cultivation was stronger than his, at least in the late stage of Qi Refining. Strength in exchange for treatment, evil cultivators believed in this the most, so the butcher would naturally not make trouble for himself.

After buying the bone tablets, Chen Luo did not stay here. He found an empty house and pushed the door open and walked in.

There are many similar houses in Baiguling.

I don’t know whether the owner left or died, but no one in the city cares.

In the room.

Chen Luo crushed the bone tablet and absorbed the information inside.

Soon, general information about the White Bone City over the past hundred years came to his mind.

Although the butcher was a bit shady, the things he sold were indeed reliable. No wonder Madam Xuegu and the Lord of the Black Wind Cave all looked for him to trade. Originally, Chen Luo was going to kill him and steal his brain, but now it seems that keeping him alive might be more effective, and they can continue to come to him to buy information in the future.

The Black Wolf City that Ning Chenye mentioned does exist.

But that was four hundred years ago.

Four hundred years ago, this was the territory of the demon cultivator Black Wolf King. Later, Lady White Bone successfully built her foundation, killed Black Wolf King with an evil spell, and transformed Black Wolf City into the current White Bone City.

For the next four hundred years, this area was Lady White Bone's territory, and anyone who challenged her died.

"Ning Chenye and the woman in Yinsha Forest lived for at least four hundred years."

Chen Luo secretly memorized the place called Yinshalin.

When he becomes stronger in the future, he will definitely go back to Yinsha Forest to find out what is going on. There are many secrets in Yinsha Forest that have not been solved, including the identity of the strange man covered with black hair and the woman who runs the inn.

"We have also found clues about the main ingredients of the Yang Yuan Pill."

As soon as he arrived, he found out about one of the three magical pills that Elder An had been obsessed with until his death.

You get what you pay for. The information the butcher sold him included the main ingredient for refining the Yang Yuan Pill, the 'Heart Yuan Stone'.

This thing is a special mineral, which is extinct in the Seven Kingdoms area and only exists in the White Bone City.

However, even in the White Bone City, the price of Heart Essence Stone is very expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

No wonder Elder An was unable to refine the Yang Yuan Pill until his death. Madam Bai Gu didn't even have enough Heart Yuan Stones for herself, so how could they have ended up in the Seven Kingdoms area?

Without the strength to build a foundation, it is impossible to exchange for resources of this level.

"I just don't know if this White Bone Lady is easy to deal with."

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes.

The Heart Essence Stone is in the hands of Madam White Bone. If you want to exchange it for something, you must greet this evil demon who has occupied White Bone City for four hundred years.

It has been more than four hundred years, and the White Bone Lady’s life span is almost exhausted.

The life span of a foundation-building cultivator is 500 years. If he does not break through to the Jindan stage, he will still be dead after 500 years. When it comes to life and death, there is nothing in this world that cannot be negotiated. Moreover, he is now also an "evil cultivator". His pure evil methods cannot be faked. He will not be expelled by the cultivators here like the Immortal Wuwei did in the past.

The next morning.

Chen Luo pushed the door open and walked towards Madam Bai Gu's cave. He was too lazy to go to the Qi Refining Realm Exchange Meeting anymore. The level was too low and he couldn't find anything good even if he went. Except for a little information that he could buy if he was lucky, everything else was worthless and a sheer waste of time. For Chen Luo now, the most important thing was not the information, but turning the "information" in his hands into real strength.

The street was not long and it only took a few moments to walk through it.

Behind it is a winding mountain road, and there are some buildings halfway up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, there were obviously fewer people, not even patrolling. In the eyes of everyone in Baigu City, the most dangerous place in the entire Baigu Ridge is Baigu Cave. Madam Baigu is the strongest, and she doesn't need anyone to protect her at all. The lady doesn't trust anyone either. Anyone who approaches without her permission will be killed by her and refined into a bone puppet.

After walking along the steps for a while, the evil aura on the mountain gradually became thicker. The evil aura that was seen outside before and shrouded Baiguling was emitted from here.

The further you go, the stronger the evil spirit becomes.

Gray withered grass, broken steps, and bones lying on both sides. Each cold skeleton tells of the evil of the master of the mountain.

Snap

A white skeleton suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Luo's ankle. The other white bones around him also sat up, and each of them had a trace of evil spirit on its body.

"Don't waste time on such petty tricks."

Chen Luo raised his hand, and a lotus of strong wind appeared in his palm. The strong wind began to rotate with him as the center, and the evil mist around him was stirred and scattered by the strong wind, and the skeletons on the ground fell down in groups.

The power belonging to the foundation-building cultivator dissipated, breaking the bones on both sides of the road like mowing grass.

After doing all this, Chen Luo continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

If you want to meet Madam White Bone, you naturally have to show your corresponding strength.

The weak have no say.

Baigu Ridge is not very high, and Chen Luo reached the top of the mountain without walking too far. There is a platform near the cliff, with a stone table and several stone benches in the middle. A group of skulls are placed on the stone table, arranged very neatly. Opposite is a cave, with two skeletons hanging on both sides of the cave. One of them looks like a beast, with a very large body, nearly five meters long. The other one is only the size of an ordinary person, and should be a human skeleton.

The auras of these two skeletons are both strong, and they were both powerful foundation-building masters when they were alive.

Chen Luo put on gloves, walked forward and touched the two skulls with his hands. Now that he had seen them, there was no reason to let them go!

Surprisingly, no brain was found.

"These two were two powerful enemies I met when I was weak. They were both cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage when they were alive."

A skull on the stone table suddenly spoke.

When Chen Luo turned around, he saw a large number of white bones flying out from the evil fog all around him. These bones gathered together and condensed and changed little by little before his eyes.

Eventually, it turned into a woman covered in blood.

It is the owner of Baiguling, Madam Baigu!

"No one has been here for nearly two hundred years. Are you the third challenger?" As Mrs. White Bone showed up, all the strong evil spirit gathered around her. Countless dead souls and resentful ghosts surrounded her, with a terrifying aura.

The middle stage of foundation building!

Chen Luo could tell the other party's cultivation level with just one glance. His spiritual awareness was close to the late stage of foundation building, so he still had this advantage.

"I just came to make a deal with my lady."

Chen Luo took a step back and easily avoided the attack of the foundation-building skeleton next to him. As expected of a great foundation-building master who had dominated Baigu Ridge for four hundred years, he attacked as soon as he met him, without any shame at all.
