This talent that can supplement the power of the soul can make Shen Lin far surpass others in the second step of cultivation. This is the aptitude at the spirit refining level, and only those who have completed the nine steps of spirit refining can recognize this physique.

When Chen Luo was practicing and training his disciples with peace of mind.

Another ship arrived at the dock in Xiachuan County. Unlike previous merchant ships, this ship is bigger, its bow is like a dragon, and its hull is also engraved with strange patterns. When the big ship approached, all the boats at the dock subconsciously moved out of the way.

As if afraid of it.

This boat has soul!

Two martial artists dressed in black jumped off the boat. There were two rows of young martial artists standing on the deck behind him. They were like soldiers, standing neatly on the boat, as if their feet had taken root. No matter how the boat sways, it remains motionless.

"Finally found some clues."

The leading martial artist walked down from the boat and his eyes fell on the stone steps that had been smashed by the coffin not long ago. The woman in black who was following him walked over and stretched out her index finger to pick up some dust from the broken part of the stone.

bass!

A ball of blue flame appeared at his fingertips and quickly burned all the stone fragments, leaving only a flickering breath.

This is the smell of a corpse!

"Bring the man up."

The female martial artist crushed the aura in her hand and shouted coldly.

Soon someone dragged a bruised and battered figure off the boat. The figure was covered in blood, and his breath was weak. Even the circulation of spiritual energy in his body had been cut off.

"Is this the place?"

The female warrior spread out her palms, and the aura that she had crushed before reappeared like flames.

"Hey! It's right here. Go in if you have the guts."

When the bruised and battered man saw this breath, the expression on his face suddenly became crazy. This man's name is Lai Shu. He is the most famous tomb robber in the Ancient God Sect's sphere of influence, and his cultivation level is in the early Nascent Soul stage. Lai Shu was originally just an ordinary casual cultivator. During an adventure while exploring ancient ruins, he acquired a martial arts technique, and from then on he could no longer stop. Relying on tomb-robbing techniques, he obtained a large amount of resources and continued to thrive until he reached the Nascent Soul stage.

For a casual cultivator to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage can already be considered a legend.

Lai Shu also thought so, so he chose to establish his own sect and become the ancestor. Similar small sects are numerous in the territory of the Ancient God Sect. If Lai Shu can persist, he can become a legend. It’s a pity that it’s difficult to change one’s nature. After being an ancestor for more than a hundred years, the old habits of a rat have come back.

When the sect's resources were exhausted, he returned to his old business and began a new round of grave digging. Unexpectedly, he hit a wall this time and dug up the tomb of the ancestor of the Huashen family.

Then comes the chase.

The sect that Lai Shu spent hundreds of years to build was razed to the ground by the Huashen family, and he himself was hunted down and killed. When he was in despair, he met two noble people.

To be precise, one person and one turtle.

These two people pulled him back from the brink of death and accepted him as their disciple. After that, he began to serve these two predecessors. Master Turtle calculated the tombs, and he was responsible for digging.

The excavation took three years.

In three years, Lai Shu dug more than a hundred graves. Many of the owners of these graves were famous people in the world of immortal cultivation, and some of them still had relatives who were still alive. No one paid attention to them at the beginning, but as the crimes became more frequent, the whereabouts of Lai Shu and Tomb Robber Turtle were discovered.

They spent half a year planning this ambush. In order to deceive the cunning tomb-robbing turtle, they also invited people from the Tianji family. It was thanks to this trick that the thief was caught, but unfortunately the tomb-robbing turtle escaped.

"I would have gone in even if you hadn't told me."

The female martial artist Yuwen Ling threw the rat aside, and after making sure that she was in the right place, she prepared to catch the man. These unscrupulous tomb robbers actually dug up her great-grandfather's grave. They simply did not take the Yuwen family seriously. When she went out this time, the ancestor gave her a death order, asking her to capture the mastermind behind the scenes and bring him back to the Yuwen family to be sacrificed alive in front of the grave!

"Let me do it."

The male martial artist in front stopped Yu Wenling's actions and walked to the door.

Like Yuwen Ling, the male martial artist’s ancestors were also dug up, and the ancestors of his family who were dug up were three generations of ancestors. This person is extremely important to the male martial artist's family, especially the martial arts techniques buried with his bones, which are the core of their Ding family and involve the most core secrets of their Ding family's body-building techniques.

So no matter what, he would not let Yuwen Ling take the person away, because the order he received was to leave no one alive.

In addition to the two of them, there were several other families whose ancestral graves were dug up by this group of tomb robbers. However, those people went to chase the tomb-robbing turtle, and only the two of them arrived here first.

Ding Jian raised his hand, and ripples of fist power exploded in his palm.

boom! !

The wooden door shattered, revealing a huge hole. Ding Jian walked in first, and Yu Wen Ling behind him quickly followed.

Both of them are the current rulers of the family, and are powerful men in the middle stage of the Earth-type Divine Transformation Realm.

The Rat was caught by them with their own hands. They also fought against the escaped Tomb Robber Turtle, who was a powerful earth-type god-transforming warrior like them. The mastermind behind this who could subdue these two men must have very high cultivation level. At the very least, he is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and possibly even in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

If it is the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it would be fine. Ding Jian and Yu Wen Ling would be able to deal with it. But if they were in the later stage of Spirit Transformation, the two of them would need to join forces.

"Formation?!"

After taking just two steps, they felt something was wrong.

The courtyard, which was clearly visible from the outside, strangely enlarged dozens of times after entering. The rockery and pavilions inside have become extremely complex. The lanterns hanging on the corridors seem to be alive. The maids on the canvas look at them strangely, which makes people feel creepy.

"If you come here uninvited, you are a thief and you should be killed."

Before the two could say anything, a row of figures in black servant uniforms suddenly jumped out from the darkness of the corridor next to them. These people were holding blood-red swords in their hands and were as fast as lightning. Before they finished speaking, they had already reached the middle of the corridor.

Dozens of blood-red long swords chopped down densely like a sword array.

"A trifle!"

Ding Jian shouted loudly, and a fierce aura burst out from his body. The shadow of a python several tens of meters long appeared beside him, and its thick scales kept flipping, blocking the bloody long sword outside.

After a series of clinking sounds, all the bloody swords fell into the air.

"Python power."

Ding Jiandan turned his hand over, formed his five fingers into claws, and grabbed hard in front of him. The python's body instantly spread out, and its tail swept away all the figures surrounding them like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. The powerful force smashed all the surrounding corridors and rockery into powder.

The rubble exploded, and the ripples swept back and forth like a python's tail, creating a water-like wavy vacuum zone around the two people.

The power dissipated, the python shadow disappeared, and the scattered power waved like a whirlpool and returned to Ding Jian's body.

Also rolled back were some miscellaneous items. One of the round things rolled from the outside to the inside and hit Ding Jian's calf.

"puppet?!!"

Looking at the wooden head rolling to their feet, both of them felt a bad feeling in their hearts.

When did tomb robbers become so greedy?

There are puppets and formations, how can we fight them? If you have the ability, why don’t you just go and rob them? It’s not like the matter of losing our ancestors can’t be discussed.

Similar thoughts popped up in the minds of the two people at the same time. If they had known that the person behind the scenes had such ability, they would definitely not have taken the initiative to approach him.

"It seems like I'm in big trouble."

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Ding Jian's forehead.

A puppeteer and a formation master, even the ancestor of the Ding family would not dare to provoke such a person. The same thing happened to Yu Wen Ling next to her. The situation got out of control from the moment she entered the door.

"Get out of here first!"

The two people who sensed the danger decisively chose to retreat.

Half a minute later, the two looked at the same scene around them, and the cold sweat on their foreheads became more and more obvious. Just now they tried to break the formation by brute force, but failed.

This formation is like a living thing. No matter how many times they destroy it, it will recover quickly. This recovery speed is no longer something that ordinary formation masters can achieve.

"Senior, we have no ill intentions."

Yuwen Ling gave up trying to escape and spoke loudly to those around her.

She believed that the senior would be able to hear it, because she herself was also a formation master, although only at the second level, but she knew better than anyone how terrifying formation masters were.

"Did you guys hurt the rat?"

A voice suddenly sounded. The moment they heard the voice, the expressions of both of them changed. Ding Jian recovered immediately, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he thought of a good idea.

"I can compensate you, Senior."

"Me too."

Yuwen Ling also reacted.

An expert who is proficient in formations and puppets is of infinite value to a family like theirs. In comparison, the "small matter" of digging up the ancestors can be ignored. As long as the cooperation is good, the subsequent losses can be compensated.

boom! !

Before they could wait for any follow-up response, they suddenly felt a loud bang coming from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a turtle covered in flames fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the formation. The collision made a loud bang, which even illuminated the sky of Xiachuan County. Circles of circular formations lit up from the ground, and complex formation patterns flowed within the golden veins, forming a layered composite formation.

Trapped, killed, illusion, dead, extinct

All the imaginable formations appeared outside at this moment. Such a grand move stunned Ding Jian and Yuwen Ling who were trapped in the formation.

Fourth-level formation.

They are all fourth-level formations! Under the cover of these fourth-level formations, the entire Xiachuan County is like a tortoise shell, protected inside and not affected by the outside world at all.

"So many formations? How many resources do they require?"

"Could it be some Taoist senior who lives in seclusion?"

Both of them were Divine Transformation cultivators who were in charge of a family. Naturally, their vision was not comparable to that of a casual cultivator. They could tell at a glance the cost of the formation outside.

"After hiding for three years, I finally found you."

With one foot standing above the formation, the Ancient God Sect cultivator dressed in black looked down with a grim expression. This person was none other than the physical cultivator of the Ancient God Sect who had previously recruited people to join his gang in the market town.
