Chapter 532: The Forgotten Mansion



Above Li Shiming's head, Mu Lei Yuanying flew out and waved at the Sky Thunder Hammer. The Sky Thunder Hammer flew into Mu Lei Yuanying's small hand.

When the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer entered Mu Lei's Nascent Soul's little hand, the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer also became smaller, as small as a toy.

He chose the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer as Mu Lei Yuanying's natal magic weapon. When the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer entered Mu Lei Yuanying's hands, it turned into another energy state.

Mu Lei's Yuanying played with the Heavenly Thunder Hammer for a while before turning around and returning to Li Shiming's body.

Li Shiming now has two natal magic weapons, but only one of them can be made visible, that is the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer. The other natal magic weapon, IBMz15, is the natal magic weapon of the Fire Thunder Yuanying, which is in a completely energized state, and is not an offensive or defensive natal magic weapon. It is completely integrated with the Fire Thunder Yuanying.

He took six mustard seed rings from the golden corpse. Although the six cultivators were all independent cultivators, they were all cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage after all. Maybe they had some good things.

Speaking of Nascent Soul cultivators, through the battle between the golden corpse and the Nascent Soul cultivators, he also discovered the weaknesses of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

The combat power of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is divided into two levels: one is the normal state, and the other is the Nascent Soul Dharma state.

Generally speaking, a Nascent Soul cultivator in an ordinary state is sufficient to cope with normal situations. Even if he encounters a strong enemy, the spirit of the Nascent Soul stage allows the Nascent Soul cultivator to have enough reaction time to stimulate the Nascent Soul Dharma Image to fight the enemy.

However, facing enemies like the Golden Corpse or the Phantom Dragon, the weakness of the low defense of the early Nascent Soul cultivators would be exposed.

Among the several talents of the Golden Corpse Nanming, extreme speed is only one of them. His strongest attack ability was not used in the last battle.

Because there was no need at all. With the extremely fast speed and the full force of the golden corpse, an early Nascent Soul cultivator under normal circumstances would not be able to withstand this attack.

Perhaps when the Golden Corpse Nanming encounters an early Nascent Soul cultivator from a large sect, he will need to use the attacking magical power of 'Nanming Lihuo', just like the Phantom Dragon did not use its most powerful poison.

As he was thinking, he separated out his spiritual consciousness into six parts, each of which entered into one of the six mustard seed rings.

"How poor!" He sighed while shaking his head as he explored.

Come to think of it, although there are abundant resources in Dongqi Continent, most of these resources are controlled by major forces. It is already the limit for a casual cultivator to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how can he get more resources?

"Huh!" At this moment, the six spiritual senses also discovered something unusual.

He took out six broken pieces of jade tokens from the six mustard seed rings.

When the six broken pieces of jade token were merged together by his spiritual sense and injected with spiritual power, the jade token turned into a complete jade token.

A map appeared on the jade token, pointing to a location, and at the same time a piece of information was transmitted to his consciousness.

It turned out that this jade tablet was the remains of a senior cultivator. Li Shiming had also explored this kind of remains when he was in the Northern Shu Continent.

It’s just that the levels of the abandoned mansions in the Northern Shu continent are very low, and the big sects are hardly interested in them. Relatively speaking, abandoned mansions are a source of resources that only independent cultivators would like.

The reason is simple. Every Nascent Soul cultivator in the Northern Shu Continent has a background. Even if they have a cave dwelling, it will not appear somewhere in the wild. It will either be within a sect or at an important resource point.

There are very few abandoned mansions in the Northern Shu Continent, even caves of Jindan-stage cultivators. Most of them are the abandoned mansions of foundation-building cultivators.

Of course, for the independent cultivators in the Northern Shu Continent, even the remains of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be extremely valuable.

Compared with the abandoned palaces of the Northern Shu Continent, the map in front of Li Shiming records the abandoned palace of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. This level alone is far different from the abandoned palaces of the Northern Shu Continent.

Li Shiming became a little interested. He withdrew his spiritual power and the jade token turned into six pieces again.

It can be seen that the six Nascent Soul early stage cultivators originally planned to explore this abandoned mansion, but were attracted by the thunder tribulation of the Sky Strike Thunder Hammer and lost their lives.

Anyway, the tide of spirit beasts in the sea will last for a long time, so it doesn't matter if we delay a little. It's better to go and take a look at this abandoned mansion first.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward, and the location on the map had been analyzed by his natal magic weapon IBMz15 through the drone satellite system.

Before leaving, he went to pick up the Phantom Dragon.

Several hours later, Li Shiming was hovering above a forest, staring at the pool of water below.

If the calculation is correct, then the pond is at the location recorded on the jade plate.

Several spiritual senses swept over the pool of water, and his expression changed slightly.

He did not sense the aura of the formation, nor did he sense the aura of space. Either he had found the wrong location, or the method used by the other party could block the scanning of spiritual consciousness.

He landed beside a pond. Although the pond was not big, it was extremely deep. After his spiritual consciousness entered it, he found that after ten meters below the water surface, he encountered rocks.

The source of the water in the pool comes from the cracks between the rocks. The spiritual consciousness continued to go down along the cracks and explored for more than 40 meters. After encountering several forks, it finally found the deepest part.

The water source of the pond actually comes from the mouth of a stone lion, behind which is a stone door.

Li Shiming smiled. The method used by this senior cultivator was quite good. He used the method of cultivating immortals to form a pool of water to conceal the location of his cave.

If no one knew there was a cave here, who would deliberately explore the source of a pool of water? This seemingly unconcealed method, but extremely capable of controlling people's hearts, has allowed the cave to be preserved to this day.

Li Shiming activated the "A World Away" and crossed the pool and the cracks in the rocks in one step, and came to the stone lion.

Looking at the stone gate, he wondered what the purpose of this abandoned mansion was and whether it would be dangerous.

Some of the tombs of monks are in the abandoned mansion. When the monks’ life span is about to end, they will seal themselves in the cave.

Some are cave dwellings where cultivators left their inheritance. Most of these inheritances will leave some means to give their descendants the opportunity to come and obtain resources for cultivation.

Some are traps. When Li Shiming explored the cave of the Six-fingered Sound Demon, that was a trap set by the Six-fingered Sound Demon in order to find a suitable person to take over his body.

No matter what the function of the abandoned mansion in front of him was, now that he was in front of it, he would always explore it.

He used his 'Divine Eyes' to check the stone door, and found no traces of mechanisms or formations on it. This stone door could only be opened with brute force.

"Nanming, open the stone gate!" Li Shiming would not do it himself, he released the golden corpse and gave the order.

The defense of the golden corpse Nanming is higher than his. The golden corpse's own defense is almost equivalent to a fourth-grade defensive magic weapon. It is usually used as a shield for monks to resist enemy attacks.

The golden corpse came to the stone gate. Its three-meter-tall body was no different from that of a human. Even the fangs on its face had become much smaller. It was believed that it would soon be no different from a normal human.

It pressed its hands against the stone door, exerting all its strength. The stone door made a teeth-grinding friction sound and slowly opened.

As soon as the stone door was opened, a stream of spiritual energy gushed out.

Li Shiming's eyes lit up slightly. Even if there was nothing good in this cave, this source of spiritual energy was enough to make up for his busy schedule.

The source of this spiritual energy is most likely produced by the Nascent Soul level spiritual vein. This is not compared with the Nascent Soul level spiritual vein of the Northern Shu continent, but the Nascent Soul level spiritual vein of the Eastern Qi continent.

After pushing open the stone door, the golden corpse stood there waiting for new instructions.

Li Shiming and the golden corpse walked into the cave side by side, with the Phantom Dragon hiding beside him. With such strength, he would definitely be able to crush the enemy unless he encountered a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

And according to what was written on the jade tablet, the owner of this abandoned mansion was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. No matter how powerful the means he left behind were, they could not be as powerful as those of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The first place we arrived at was the hall, where there was only a pot of fourth-grade spiritual tea tree of some value.

This fourth-grade spiritual tea tree was planted in a jade basin. The jade basin itself was a fourth-grade spiritual object, and the spiritual soil inside was even more extraordinary, which allowed the fourth-grade spiritual tea tree to survive without anyone taking care of it.

Not to mention the value of the fourth-grade spiritual tea tree, this jade basin and the spiritual soil inside are worth studying.

There is an aisle after the hall, on the wall of which is engraved a spiritual practice called 'Qing Tao Huan Jing'.

Li Shiming was a little surprised that the owner of this place was so generous as to record a spiritual skill on the wall. If a group of cultivators really came in, wouldn't every cultivator get the 'Qing Tao Huan Jing'?

Thinking about the original explorers of this abandoned mansion who were six cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage, this "Qing Tao Huan Jing" might really be left for all the cultivators.

His life treasure IBMz15 recorded the "Qing Tao Huan Jing" technique, but he himself had no interest in the "Qing Tao Huan Jing".

He himself possesses the 'Human Reincarnation Sutra', a spiritual skill that is much more advanced than the 'Qing Tao Illusion Sutra'.

The 'Qing Tao Fantasy Sutra' can be engraved on a wall, but in order to engrave the 'Humanity Reincarnation Sutra', the wall must be at least several thousand meters long.

After walking through the corridor, we came to a room decorated like a tea room. This room was extremely luxurious.

A tea table and wooden chairs made of fourth-grade spiritual wood, plus a set of fourth-grade tea sets.

There are also six portions of fourth-grade spiritual tea stored in the fourth-grade tea jar. If the fourth-grade spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming himself is not counted, its quality can be considered top-grade.

Also, there was a piece of paper left on the table.

'This tea is Qing Tao Spirit Tea, it has miraculous effects when used with the Qing Tao Magic Sutra!'

Li Shiming smiled faintly, not caring about whether it had miraculous effects or not. With a wave of his hand, he collected all the spiritual objects.

When he returns to the sect in the future, he can put this set of fourth-grade tea sets in his cave and use it to entertain important guests.

Going further inward, there is a huge space with six treasure cabinets placed in six directions, and each treasure cabinet contains a fourth-grade magic weapon.

Li Shiming stopped, his eyes flashed, and he saw the layout of this space clearly.

"What kind of luck do I have? I encounter traps every time I explore the ruins!" Li Shiming muttered to himself.

The Emperor of the Underworld was also extremely unhappy. Ever since he had problems with his cultivation, he wanted to be reborn and needed a perfect body to possess.

To this end, he laid an elaborate plan. He originally thought that six monks would come, and he would use various methods to guide the six monks to fight each other. The one who survived in the end would be the body he chose to possess.

Now that Li Shiming is the only one here, all the things that the Emperor of the Underworld had carefully arranged are of no use.

However, when the Emperor of the Netherworld investigated Li Shiming, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Li Shiming was extremely young. He was not even a hundred years old but was already in the Nascent Soul stage. Such aptitude was the best even within the major sects.

The body of the Nether Emperor had long since perished, and his current state could be said to be that of a ghost.

As a cultivator of the major demonic sect Yanri Sect, the secret magic techniques he practiced had extremely strange effects on the soul. As long as he stayed in a pre-arranged environment, his soul could continue in a ghost state for hundreds of years.

Moreover, he still retained a certain combat capability in ghost state, which was his greatest confidence.

Li Shiming found something wrong, but he was not too worried. He was studying the layout of this space.

The formation alone was enough to attract him. The formation here was completely aimed at the soul, and he didn't understand the effect for a while. Even his own magic weapon IBMz15 could not find a similar formation.

He thought that as long as he didn't enter the space, there would be no danger standing at the door.

Once he analyzes the function of space, he can find a way to solve the problem.

But just as he was observing, the temperature in the space dropped significantly, and a black and gray shadow flew out from nowhere and flew towards him.

Li Shiming had been maintaining his 'divine vision', and he saw the black-grey shadow clearly, and a human face formed in front of the black-grey shadow.

"A fourth-grade ghost!" He couldn't help but take a breath and said in shock.

It's not that he has never seen a fourth-grade ghost. In the cave of the powerful Zhai Ge, he has seen many fourth-grade ghosts.

At that time, he relied entirely on the power of the Heavenly Ghost to avoid being tracked by the fourth-grade ghost.

Unlike the fourth-grade ghost in the cave, when he saw the face of this fourth-grade ghost, he knew that this fourth-grade ghost had the same intelligence as humans, and might even be a human cultivator.

Just as he turned around and wanted to use "A World Away" to leave, a wave of energy covered the entire cave.

His "World's End" could not pass through the cave, so he could not use his divine power to leave the place.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. Although the fourth-grade ghost was extremely terrifying, he was not without the ability to fight.

No cultivator is willing to fight against a fourth-grade ghost, unless they have practiced a technique that targets ghosts. Otherwise, many attacks will not have any effect on a fourth-grade ghost, and even if they do have an effect, the effect will be reduced to a certain extent.

Of course, the fourth-grade ghost is not invincible. Buddhist techniques and thunder cultivation can restrain the fourth-grade ghost to a certain extent.

Li Shiming is a thunder cultivator. After getting over his initial panic, he decided to fight when he had no way out.

In fact, he would not fight with the fourth-grade ghost at this time unless it was absolutely necessary. Although he had practiced for several years and stabilized his realm, he was still at the bottom in terms of foundation among the early Nascent Soul stage.

The aura of this fourth-grade ghost is at the mid-fourth-grade level.
