After wasting so much time, the buffer period for killing Ke Zhenbei is almost used up, and there is also the enemy behind who wants to kill Lingxuzi. These are the things to be faced next, and before hiding in the dark, these are the troubles to be solved.

Lingxu Cave Heaven.

The day after Chen Luo returned to the mountain, he announced that he would open the gates of the mountain and recruit disciples.

Less than half a month later, seven people caught Lingxuzi's eye and became Lingxu Dongtian's disciples. These disciples were different from Lu Chen and Zhong Yan, as they were all casual cultivators and already had extremely high cultivation levels.

Six out of the seven people are Return to Void cultivators.

The six great returning masters' apprenticeship caused a great stir. Zhong Yan also expressed strong opposition to the seven disciples of unknown origin. She believed that these people had ulterior motives and came to the mountain gate with a purpose. However, Lingxuzi suppressed them. So far, Lingxu Dongtian had nine disciples.

In the next half month, these seven disciples gradually accepted some third-generation disciples.

In less than two months, the number of people in Lingxu Dongtian increased to more than 100, and some businesses previously run by outsiders were gradually taken over by them. The lower-level immortal cultivation families went through several rounds of reshuffles, and all the interests within Lingxu Dongtian were redistributed.

At midnight, the moon is at its zenith.

Chen Luo lit a stick of incense in the back mountain of Lingxu Cave Heaven, and silently chanted "eternal night" several times in his heart. After about ten breaths, the ground where the bamboo incense was inserted melted like liquid.

The token hanging around his waist lit up and projected a breath onto the ground.

Click, click, click.

The sound of the mechanism turning was heard.

The bamboo fragrance blended into the ground, and the surrounding shadows spread out like a tide, forming a vortex in the middle. The originally solid bluestone ground, under the influence of these rotating black air, turned into a downward spiral channel.

"Dear guest, please."

A hoarse voice sounded from behind.

Chen Luo looked back and found a little old man about three inches tall standing in the shadow of the corner. The old man was leaning on a cane, with a rosary on his head, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and wearing a black short shirt with a big "night" embroidered on the chest.

Seeing Chen Luo looking at him, the old man showed a weird smile on his face and stomped his crutch lightly on the ground.

"After the time has passed, we have to wait until the next time."

"interesting."

Chen Luo chuckled, turned and walked up the stairs.

During the time since he came back, Chen Luo had been waiting for revenge from the Ancient Sword Sect and the people behind the Yangji Master. Unfortunately, the two parties seemed to be tripped up by something and did not come to find him for half a month, which made him wait until the opening of the Eternal Night Valley.

Gurgling

His feet were covered in a layer of black liquid and his whole body began to sink rapidly.

After a brief feeling of weightlessness, Chen Luo stood still and found himself in an unfamiliar inn.

The living room was made entirely of black wood, including wooden floors, wooden walls, wooden tables, chairs, and even the lampshades on the tables. Standing in the inn, Chen Luo could clearly feel the inn moving. The frequency of this movement was very slight, and normal people could not detect it at all.

"A distinguished guest."

A voice was heard, and he looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was the old man who had picked him up outside before.

But now the little old man has become the size of a normal person. Although he still looks a little short, he is no longer as weird as before.

"I am Mu Yin, the old man, and I am the guide of the Eternal Night Valley."

Noticing Chen Luo's gaze, the old man raised his head, revealing the clearly visible wood grain on his face.

This little old man turned out to be an extremely rare Xuanyin wood monster.

Evernight Valley was able to recruit such a great demon who had lived for who knows how many years as a guide demon, so one could imagine their background. This made Chen Luo a little interested in this trip to Evernight Valley. If he was lucky, he might be able to buy the secret of the Soul Chasing Mirror here.

"How long will it take?"

Chen Luo withdrew his consciousness. The Mu Yin standing in front of him was not his real body. As the guiding monster of Yongye Valley, he naturally could not receive only Chen Luo.

Just now, Chen Luo clearly saw two more people in the main hall of the inn.

The two men, like him, were covered in a thick layer of black fog, which could not be seen by the divine sense. This was the protection mechanism of the Evernight Valley. They used this method to attract customers, so that people who came here to trade could sell anything without worrying about being tracked. Even if they were mortal enemies, they could still trade with each other in the Evernight Valley without knowing it.

To be able to achieve this, the master of Eternal Night Valley must be no ordinary person.

At least stronger than Chen Luo at this stage.

"It will only take half an hour. You can go over and rest for a while. Here we have the Wood Spirit Wine sold in Evernight Valley. A pot only costs three low-grade spirit stones."

Mu Yin introduced Chen Luo very politely and personally led Chen Luo to a seat to sit down.

Chen Luo glanced to the side and found that every person who came in was followed by a wood guide. The old man used the characteristics of the wood demon to spread out countless branches. All the wood guides walking outside were branches he had separated.

"This top-level Xuanyin wood demon must have an extraordinary brain."

Sitting in the guest seat, Chen Luo looked at the densely packed Mu Yin clones and couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

It is difficult for spiritual creatures in heaven and earth to transform into demons.

Chen Luo now has nearly 1,200 brains in his hands, and there is only one brain of a spiritual creature, the Stone Mother Goddess of the demon clan. In order to obtain this brain, Chen Luo almost turned over all the ancestral tombs of the demon clan. In the end, it was the ancestor of the Stone Spirit Clan who protected it well, so he got it.

The Mu Yin in front of him is different, he is alive!

"Is this your first time in Evernight Valley, fellow Daoist?"

A dark figure suddenly sat down next to Chen Luo. Because of the black air, Chen Luo couldn't tell his identity, and even his voice was distorted.

"How do you know?"

Chen Luo looked at the other person, and his idle brain suddenly became active, and he began to analyze the identity of this woman.

"The breath is gentle, and the spread of black gas is lower than ours. It should be the level of transformation of the spirit."

"He is not a human. The black energy cannot cover up the evil energy in him."

'A female demon!'

The man didn't know what was in Chen Luo's mind, but waved his hand towards the counter. Soon, a Mu Yin clone took a wooden wine jug and placed it on the table in front of the two.

"Only people who come here for the first time would be so curious about Mu Yin. People who know his background would stay away from him."

"oh?"

Chen Luo became interested.

Anyway, there is still some time, so it is a good opportunity to chat with this person. He has been observing the bodies differentiated by Mu Yin and did not find anything abnormal.

"The Xuanyin tree was born from the spirits. I don't know how many people it has eaten to grow to this size."

"Where in the world of immortal cultivation does one not eat people?"

Chen Luo asked back. This sentence made the figure sitting opposite him stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

"Fellow Daoist, you are an interesting person. I wonder what you want to buy when you go to Evernight Valley this time? Maybe you and I can trade in advance."

"Just wandering around."

Naturally, Chen Luo would not tell the other party the whole story.

"That's a pity." Seeing that Chen Luo was unwilling to reveal the truth, the figure didn't waste time. After saying hello, he stood up and left his seat. Not long after, he sat down in another seat and started chatting with the other party.

He looked like he was looking for someone.

It seems like they are communicating with each other through secret codes.

There were many people like him, and Mu Yin didn't care about their actions at all. As long as they were willing to spend spirit stones, they would be his honored guests.

Boom

When Chen Luo finished the drink in his glass, the tightly closed door next to him suddenly opened.

A cold wind blew in from outside.

"Dear guests, we have arrived." Mu Yin stopped what he was doing and spoke to everyone in the room.

Seeing this, everyone stood up and walked out through the door.

Walking out of the gate, a gust of cold wind blew along the long street. Outside was a bluestone path, with dark stone houses on both sides, each one like a lonely grave in the wild. Red lanterns were hung on the doors of the stone houses, with various different words written on them.

Some of them have words like "Dan" and "Fu", which can tell what is sold inside at a glance. But some of them have words like "Shadow", "Secret", "Absolute", etc. There are very few people at the door, and if you don't go in to see, you have no idea what kind of business these stone houses are doing.

Turn around.

Chen Luo saw a strange tree that was so huge that it was beyond his comprehension.

This strange tree is like the root of a demon. It is not a regular trunk or branches. Instead, it has strange vines that are distributed like blood vessels. These vines are interspersed in the black fog. The gate they walked out of before was on a vine.

Looking back, there were countless similar vines, and there was no end in sight.

"Xuan Yin tree demon."

Retracting his gaze, Chen Luo began to observe the street in front of him.

After leaving the gate, no one greeted him. The exchange meeting in Yongye Valley was completely different from what Chen Luo remembered. It was more like a host providing a venue. Chen Luo walked around the street and finished walking through the area in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

There are thirty-two stone houses in total.

There were people in each stone house. Chen Luo had been into the two stone houses called "Dan" and "Zhen". The things sold in them were all related to elixirs and formations. The contents were extremely rare, and Chen Luo had never even heard of the names of several elixirs.

During the time he transformed into Lingxuzi, Chen Luo had already read all the inheritances in Lingxu Cave Heaven, and his knowledge and experience were no less than Lingxuzi himself. It was conceivable how rare the elixir was that he didn't even know its name.

"puppet"

Chen Luo stopped in front of a stone house with the word "Kui" written on it.

Unlike the stone houses of elixir, equipment, talisman, and formation, there were very few guests in front of this stone house. The lanterns at the door were not as colorful as those in the previous stone houses. There were several holes in the paper on them. The blood-red light shone through the holes, leaving a black track in front of my eyes, which lasted for a long time. (End of this chapter)
