And coincidentally, all three of them were array masters.
“I won’t leave until I find them. You can go find the Ghost Path and leave now. Why stay here? It’s very dangerous here if we drag this out until night,” Ji Lanying reminded her.
Ji Lanying couldn't understand why Chen Zhou would help her find her two junior brothers. Did he have ulterior motives? Or...?
So Ji Lanying simply asked the question, hoping to dispel her concerns.
However, Chen Zhou said, "I can stay and help you. What's in it for me?"
Hearing what she wanted, Ji Lanying breathed a sigh of relief. If all she needed were treasures, as an array master from an array master sect, she certainly had no shortage of such things.
"What do you want?" Ji Lanying asked.
Chen Zhou thought for a moment, unsure of what he wanted, and then asked, "What do you have?"
"I have array diagrams, soul artifacts, and all sorts of treasures. In short, I probably have everything you can think of."
Ji Lanying spoke up, her face filled with pride. She was a Fusion Stage expert; these treasures were easy for her, weren't they?
Chen Zhou doesn't know what he needs most right now; it seems like he doesn't need anything at all, so he doesn't know what to take from Ji Lanying.
At this moment, Elder Ren said, "We need the True Enlightenment Pill."
Transformation and Consecration Elixir?
Chen Zhou had never heard of this thing before, so he immediately asked Elder Ren, "What is this?"
"You are currently in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and you may break through to the Enlightenment stage at any time. Everyone who breaks through to the Enlightenment stage needs a pill to suppress the true qi in their body, which can greatly increase your chances of breaking through. This True Transformation Enlightenment Pill has such an effect."
The transition from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Enlightenment stage is a watershed moment among the four realms of Core Formation, making advancement the most difficult. If you successfully advance, your subsequent cultivation will be much smoother.
Master Ren explained that this was enough to demonstrate the importance of the Transformation and Enlightenment Pill.
Chen Zhou nodded, having gained a preliminary understanding of the pill, and immediately said, "I only need one Transformation and Enlightenment Pill."
"Transformation Pill? That makes sense. You're already in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and you could break through to the Enlightenment stage at any time. That's exactly what you need most. I happen to have one left here; I gave the rest to my two junior brothers."
As she spoke, Ji Lanying took out an antique box from her storage and handed it to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou took the box and slowly opened it. Inside, a round pill sat quietly, surrounded by a ring of true energy that moved slowly.
This is the Transformation and Enlightenment Pill.
"Yes, this is the Transformation and Enlightenment Pill," Elder Ren affirmed.
Chen Zhou then put the box into his storage ring.
“So now we are officially partners,” Ji Lanying said.
Chen Zhou nodded. Since he had accepted Ji Lanying's gifts, he should naturally help her. It would be truly unreasonable for him to accept her gifts and not help her properly.
"I just used my true energy to survey the surrounding area and discovered a problem." Having gained some benefits, Chen Zhou naturally wanted to make the most of them.
"What's the problem?" Ji Lanying asked immediately, afraid that she might miss something. Her true energy had just recovered, and the next steps should be much easier. She wanted to find her two junior brothers this afternoon, whether they were alive or dead.
Moreover, while searching for people, we must also find the true location of the ghost realm.
If they focus solely on finding the person and neglect searching for the Ghost Path, then both she and Chen Zhou will be trapped here.
This is definitely not a place where you can spend the night; things won't be that simple once night falls.
"There seems to be the aura of that dark figure here." Chen Zhou expressed his true feeling. Chen Zhou himself had also absorbed the dark figure, so he was now extremely sensitive to the aura of dark figures. He had only detected a slight trace of the dark figure's aura when he realized something was wrong.
"Where is it? Have you found anything?" Ji Lanying asked quickly, her heart filled with excitement.
Chen Zhou slowly shook his head, carefully sensing the aura from before. What puzzled Chen Zhou was that this aura disappeared in an instant.
It existed for only a moment.
Could it be that the dark figure has become invisible?
Chen Zhou had paid special attention to this characteristic of the shadows beforehand. These shadows would become invisible every now and then, and each time they became invisible, their aura would completely disappear.
The fleeting aura that appeared just now was probably lost because the shadowy figure went invisible.
Just as Chen Zhou was convinced of his own idea, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared behind Ji Lanying!
It happened almost instantly. Chen Zhou was just about to tell Ji Lanying his thoughts when the dark figure suddenly appeared!
Moreover, Chen Zhou recognized the shadowy figure immediately upon seeing it. Wasn't it the same shadowy figure that had kidnapped Zhu Yuande and Zhu Yuancheng?
"careful!"
As soon as Chen Zhou saw the dark figure, he immediately changed his mind and shouted. But as soon as he finished shouting, the dark figure grabbed Ji Lanying. Before Ji Lanying could react, two dark shadow claws appeared on her shoulders and gripped her tightly.
Ji Lanying's arms instantly lost consciousness, and only her legs were kicking wildly.
Under Ji Lanying's control, streams of true energy surged from her body and struck the dark figure.
The purple true energy, like Chen Zhou's true energy, merged perfectly with the black shadow, and the black shadow was not harmed by the true energy.
Having finally encountered such a good opportunity, Chen Zhou was naturally unwilling to let it slip by. He immediately began to churn the true energy within his dantian, and a powerful suction force appeared in Chen Zhou's dantian.
