Lan Hua was speechless as she looked at the arrogant and domineering evil spirit.
"Didn't the sect leader say that the evil spirit was destroyed? How come there's still one left?"
"What a rip-off!"
Four tentacles rushed towards her, and Lan Hua quickly dodged them, creating four deep craters on the spot.
As Lan Hua dodged, she summoned the Piercing Bow and unleashed attacks from all directions.
Four enormous arrows of light pierced the night, shooting towards the evil spirit from four directions.
The evil spirit let out a low growl and extended four more tentacles, striking the four light arrows.
boom...
The invisible arrow of light was incredibly powerful, instantly shattering the four tentacles, sending bits of flesh falling into the stream.
The green liquid floated up and polluted the stream. The fish and shrimp in the water could not withstand the pollution and quickly floated to the surface.
The evil spirit let out a miserable cry, and then a miracle happened: the four tentacles grew out rapidly.
Lan Hua was stunned. This evil spirit was too terrifying; its regenerative ability was truly astonishing.
Suddenly, Lan Hua noticed a scar on the evil spirit's body.
The scar was very fresh and hadn't disappeared yet.
Lan Hua then realized that this evil spirit was the same one that Elder Yang Chen had injured before. After escaping, it had been hiding in the stream to heal its wounds.
Injuries caused by a Danxia Realm expert are not easy to heal, which is why they leave scars.
Before Lan Hua could think further, the evil spirit roared and more than ten tentacles lunged at him, determined to pierce him through.
The evil spirit had previously wanted to devour Lan Hua until not a bone was left, but now it only wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
Lan Hua used the Flowing Light Step to retreat rapidly, causing the numerous tentacles to miss their target.
"Taste my Black Iron Rune Arrow!"
Lan Hua nocked an arrow and drew her bow, unleashing a powerful strike. The talismanic arrow once again pierced the darkness, instantly penetrating the evil spirit's body.
The talisman arrow carried a plume of green liquid into the stream, splashing water, but it did not cause any real harm to the evil spirit.
Just as Lan Hua was wondering what was going on, a tentacle burst out of the water and slammed heavily onto Lan Hua's back.
Lan Hua spat out a mouthful of blood, her internal organs felt like they were on fire, and she was in extreme pain.
"What a cunning evil spirit! When did those tentacles hide in the water?!"
Just as he was preparing to retaliate again and blow the evil spirit's head apart, a deep voice rang out.
"You audacious evil spirit, how dare you trespass on Twin Sacred Mountains!"
"Destroy them!"
Several figures flew rapidly toward the stream, presumably because an elder or protector had noticed the battle taking place there.
Lan Hua fired another arrow, blocking the attacking tentacle, and quickly darted into the nearby woods.
His identity cannot be exposed yet. Although he suffered a great loss at the hands of the evil spirits and wanted to take revenge, he had no choice but to leave.
Lan Hua concealed her presence and ran back to her dilapidated little house.
"hiss!"
Lan Hua gasped, a sharp pain shooting through her back.
The evil spirit's attack nearly shattered Lan Hua's bones; fortunately, he was physically strong, otherwise he would have broken several ribs.
Lan Hua sat down cross-legged and used the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique to begin healing herself.
The news of the evil spirit's reappearance spread throughout the entire Immortal Talisman Sect. By the time everyone gathered at the stream again, the evil spirit had already been destroyed.
The entire stream was filled with dismembered bodies and green liquid, and it reeked of a foul stench.
Although the evil spirit had a strong ability to regenerate, it could not withstand the siege of many experts, and its big head was quickly blasted apart.
Early the next morning.
Lan Hua went to work in the kitchen as usual. Although his internal injuries had healed, his external injuries had not yet healed, making the work quite painful.
"Old Li, have you heard about what happened last night?" Lan Hua wanted to find out what was going on.
"Are you talking about the evil spirits appearing in the back mountain again?"
Old Li said, "That back mountain is too far, I didn't go. I heard that the evil spirit suddenly appeared and fought with someone from the sect for a while, but that person has disappeared without a trace!"
"The entire sect is searching for that person right now!"
Lan Hua felt ashamed and silently prayed, "Please, please don't come after me!"
"Who could be someone so powerful?"
Old Li laughed and said, "Who knows? Anyone who can fight an evil spirit must be at least a sect protector-level expert, but those protectors all seem to have denied it!"
Lan Hua knew that after this battle, the chaos caused by the evil spirits should have been completely quelled, and the next step would be the trial of the consciousness space.
"Old Li, do you know about the Consciousness Space Trial? How do you enter the Consciousness Space?"
Old Li nodded. "I know a little bit. It seems you need a Concentration Talisman to enter!"
"Concentration Talisman!"
Lan Hua had never heard of this talisman before, and whispered, "Old Li, do you think our kitchen can also send someone to participate in the trial?"
Old Li chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? We're not talisman masters, we won't give you a Concentration Talisman!"
Lan Hua was speechless. "Looks like I'll have to find a way to get the Concentration Talisman!"
Everything was fine that day.
There were no more reports of evil spirits harming people, and the entire Immortal Talisman Sect was preparing for the Consciousness Space Trial.
The next day at noon, Lan Hua took the opportunity of delivering lunch to find Lu Yu.
"Brother Lu, how are you today?"
Lu Yu was truly terrified of Lan Hua, and her voice trembled with tears as she pleaded, "Brother Hua, please save me!"
"I've been sleeping longer and longer these past few days. Am I going to fall asleep and die soon?"
Lan Hua gave an awkward smile and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. Besides, we're at least related as fellow disciples, so you won't die!"
"A mind-concentration talisman, do you know what it is?"
Lu Yu nodded. "That's essential for entering the consciousness space!"
Lan Hua was overjoyed, "Then do you have a Concentration Talisman?"
"some!"
Lan Hua stretched out her hand and snorted, "Giving you this Concentration Talisman would be a waste; you might as well give it to me!"
Lu Yu was taken aback, then said, "I'm afraid not. This Concentration Talisman was a gift from my elders, and it has already merged with my soul!"
"Even if I wanted to give it to you, I couldn't!"
Lan Hua said dejectedly, "This Concentration Talisman isn't a physical talisman at all!"
He had assumed that the Concentration Talisman was a physical talisman issued by the Immortal Talisman Sect, nothing more than a talisman, but he was wrong to think it was an invisible talisman.
Back in the dilapidated house, Lan Hua looked dejected. She tried to rob Lu Yu, but failed.
Without the Concentration Talisman, he couldn't enter the consciousness space, so how could he improve his cultivation and defeat Zhou Kai?
"Hmm? This Concentration Talisman was drawn by an elder. Old Man Helian said that he was once a member of the Immortal Talisman Sect!"
"Perhaps he knows how to draw the Concentration Talisman!"
Lan Hua took some time to visit the secluded cave in the back mountain, carrying roast chicken, liquor, and lamb skewers.
"Senior Helian, I've come to see you!"
"Hua boy, you're here! It's been quite lively on the mountain these past few days. What happened?"
Lan Hua placed the food in front of Helian Kuang, then sat down on the ground.
"I heard it was an attack by evil spirits, but thankfully they were all wiped out!"
Helian Kuang was taken aback. "The evil spirit... has appeared again? And the time it spends appearing seems to be getting shorter and shorter!"
Lan Hua noticed that his voice was trembling and his complexion was not good, and knew that this old man might have experienced a battle with evil spirits.
After eating a chicken leg, Helian Kuang calmed down and snorted, "What brings you here today?"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "I heard that the Consciousness Space is about to open, and I want to go in and take a look!"
"The day of mental trial has come again! How time flies!"
"Did you come here to ask me for a Concentration Talisman?"
