The air was filled with yin energy, and shadows of souls, some broken and some illusory, were floating aimlessly.

Outside the wandering soul shadows, there are platforms, each with a puppet sitting cross-legged.

There are eight directions on the platform, and there are thirty-six puppet runes in each direction, including suona rune men, gong rune men, etc. The most important one is the salvation rune man.

All these talisman masters have already learned the "Duling Sutra".

Now that the remnant soul has been captured, everything is ready.

As for fellow Taoist Yunlan who contributed the "Sutra of Saving People", he has been released by Shen Lian.

What kind of opportunity was this? It was just a fleeting dream of a Jindan cultivator who self-destructed his remaining soul.

As for the fact that he accidentally ran into a group of second-level Red Sun Poison Scorpions after he went out, it had nothing to do with him.

I can only say that Fellow Daoist Yunlan has very bad luck.

Shen Lian was a good person to the end. He watched Fellow Daoist Yunlan's real soul smoke fly up before he helped him to be completely freed.

That's fine.

The divine consciousness enveloped the Cave of Merit. Shen Lian sensed this group of wandering souls aimlessly and began to let the puppet talisman man's salvation team practice.

As long as it works, he can then expand the scale.

All we need to do is give the angel a specially made small cave to carry these residual souls.

The angel-repairing angels will gather the remaining souls, but it is up to the leader himself to perform the task of salvation.

Under Shen Lian's control, the puppet talisman man who had been prepared long ago began to practice, and the "Soul-Saving Sutra" sounded from the talisman man's mouth. The entire cave was gradually shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.

The originally aimless soul became a little irritable after being provoked, and began to run around randomly.

The soul shadow with a relatively complete soul body seemed to be summoned first. The entire soul body flickered and twitched violently, and strands of translucent soul threads were drawn out from the soul body.

"Why!

“Hey hey hey…”

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian, who was watching the changes in the cave, was dumbfounded.

This is not right.

Stop! However, when his mind controlled the puppet to stop, more and more residual souls in the cave were attracted, and the entire soul body began to pull out the soul thread.

In the process of being extracted, these soul threads, which belong to the original breath of the living beings, dissipated little by little under the baptism of the "Soul-Saving Sutra".

Because the remnant soul was too weak, the extracted soul threads almost all dissipated into the void when their original aura was eliminated, leaving only a few thin soul threads floating in the air.

These threads are translucent, and the unique aura of destiny belonging to these living beings has almost dissipated. They can be used to refine and enhance soul power.

The confused Sect Leader Shen, who was outside the confused cave, twitched the corner of his mouth.

"This is really the Scripture of Soul Conversion. After all this time, this is the method of salvation. I..."

“Grass is a plant!”

Shen Lian had not expected this sudden change, otherwise he would not have been in such a confused state.

This move is really a big one.

I thought I was doing good deeds in accordance with the will of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that all of it ended up in my hands, without any waste.

He carefully studied the "Duren Jing" again. Yes, that's right. The whole book is very mysterious. It is definitely about saving the souls of the dead. How can it be such a method of salvation? Shen Lian was a little hurt.

After working on it for so long, this is what is produced.

He had originally been thinking about becoming bigger and stronger and reaching new heights, but now he's at a loss. If he had known, he would not have sent Fellow Daoist Yunlan away first.

But what’s the point of saying all this now, Fellow Daoist Yunlan’s soul smoke has already risen.

…

Half a month later.

Dian Cang Mountain.

Shen Lian quietly sneaked into the Qiutian Dao stronghold deep in the mountains. After Yun Lan was killed, I believe that the higher-level Qiutian Dao practitioners already knew about it.

He has read the "Duren Jing" many times, so this kind of problem should not have occurred.

Within the formation barrier, there were many stone towers standing in rows. The entire environment did not become disturbed by Yun Lan's death. Everything was still the same as last time.

Except for the stone tower in the middle, monks can be heard reciting the "Soul-Saving Sutra" in the other stone towers around. These monks are dressed in linen clothes, like ascetics, with firm eyes.

In each stone tower, there is a three-foot-long incense burning, and the fragrant mist emitted by it covers the head of each monk who is reciting.

The last time he came here, Shen Lian noticed that there were restrictions connecting the outer stone towers and the middle stone tower. The "Soul-Saving Sutra" recited by the monks would be transmitted to the largest stone tower in the middle through the restrictions.

The stone tower in the middle leads directly to the highest point, and in the dim place at the highest point, there is something like a honeycomb hanging, with dense holes absorbing the free soul threads.

The last time he came, the monks here had not started the salvation ceremony, otherwise he would have noticed it long ago.

"Well, my efforts were in vain."

After carefully observing this stronghold again, Shen Lian quietly retreated. He wanted to summon a thunderbolt to fall and destroy his place.

"How can such a profound scripture lead to such a despicable thing?"

Although they had left Dian Cang Mountain, Shen Lian was still scratching his head. This was too weird.

Seeking the Heavenly Way is about eliminating karma and miasma, pacifying heaven and earth, bringing down the Dao fire to the world, and ascending to the fairyland together. This is a clear guideline.

If one simply wanted to purify the residual soul as a resource for cultivation, there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

It's really strange.

However, this is not certain. The bigger the signboard, the easier it is to attract monks. Add to that the incense and the "Soul-Saving Sutra", and it's a perfect three-piece set.

Grass.

After leaving Dian Cang Mountain, Shen Lian was really hurt.

Another attempt to liberate the remaining soul failed.

After much thought, I decided to refine the third-grade superior quality Dragon-Transforming Pill first, as the day I promised to give Qiushan the pill is approaching.

That is, why hasn’t the Taoist priest at Sanlin Temple claimed the title of Lord Bu Tian Ling yet?

This is the best healing elixir below the fourth level, and Shen Lian attaches great importance to it.

He found a remote town as his place to stay, opened up a heavily guarded cave, and began to study the mysteries of the pill refining process.

…

Among the mountains, in a small mountain village hidden in the jungle.

In the early morning, ordinary people started their day's work.

Under a stone house at the northernmost edge of the village, a spiritual light restriction is looming, blocking the prying eyes of outside monks.

Within the restriction, the ten-zhang-sized cave was empty, with only a pale-faced female cultivator sitting cross-legged in the middle. She was wearing a black gauze skirt.

"Um."

A muffled groan came from her mouth, and Li Yang wished she could dig out the piece of flesh on her shoulder.

The old toad in Canglan Mountain was so poisonous that her Nascent Soul power was constantly corroded by the toad poison, and the healing pills had long been used up.

"Damn old toad."

There was a flash of fear in her eyes. Li Yang also understood that if she had not revealed her identity as a banished immortal, she would have died long ago. The poisonous wounds on her body were also a lesson given to her by the old toad.

Looking at the empty medicine bottle in front of her, she poured out a bunch of communication jade talismans from her storage ring and began to search through them, occasionally picking up one and pondering over it.

She was at her weakest at this moment, and if she wasn't careful she would attract the attention of others.

Even though he was a banished immortal from the Banished Immortal Tower, in this remote place, there were still people who dared to take her as a snack.

Monks are best at eliminating all traces, and can completely wipe out even your soul and ashes.

In this era, most of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth is concentrated in the area close to the center of the Great Cultivation World. As the southernmost part of the Great Cultivation World, the Tiannan Cultivation World is definitely a marginal area.

It is said that a long time ago, there were other immortal cultivation realms in the south of Tiannan, but they have all been destroyed. Perhaps there were still small immortal cultivation realms composed of cultivators in scattered areas, but they had long since disappeared.

Faced with the resource-scarce marginal areas and the rare emergence of high-level five-spiritual-roots talents, there are only five exiled immortal envoys in the Exiled Immortal Tower, and she is in charge of the Tiannan Central Continent and is theoretically the leader of these five people.

But it’s a pity that all Nascent Soul cultivators have some circles, and as they are also in the early Nascent Soul stage, other people don’t really respect her.

Especially decades ago, that old pervert from the Southern Continent brought back a female five-spiritual-roots seedling and received a reward from the headquarters. He already had a tendency to suppress her.

In addition to internal problems, there are also some forces that secretly do not obey the Exiled Immortal Tower, and she has encountered the problem of dirty tricks more than once.

This situation is not uncommon in many immortal cultivation continents throughout the entire immortal cultivation world. Some forces even have to give some face to the Exiled Immortal Tower. Even if they cannot take over the Exiled Immortal Tower, it is still easy to get rid of a few Exiled Immortal Envoys.

Li Yang picked up the communication jade token in her hand. She now needed to ask for help to obtain healing resources. Every jade token here represented the Nascent Soul circle she interacted with, covering several continents near the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.

But most of the monks behind the jade talisman saw her identity as a banished immortal envoy. She could still communicate with such people when she was not injured, but greeting them now would only bring danger to herself.

There are not many fourth-grade healing pills in the entire Tiannan cultivation world. She used to have two fourth-grade low-grade Wantong Qiuyu Pills on her, but after refining them, they could only barely stop the pain.

She had purchased these two elixirs from a large-scale auction in Central China decades ago.

Spiritual medicines above the fourth level are not exhausted in the Central Continent, but they are all controlled by the large sects. And there is not a single fourth-level alchemist in the entire southern cultivation world.

There is nothing else to say. Alchemists are made from spiritual medicines. It is already very difficult for independent practitioners to obtain high-level spiritual medicines from outside to practice.

The alchemists trained by the sect can't even make enough fourth-grade elixirs for their own use, so how can they be allowed to flow outside?

In the past, the banished immortal envoy seemed very powerful, but in fact, Li Yang was also very uncomfortable. There were resources at the headquarters, but they could not be exchanged without merit.

Finally, Li Yang's hand fell on a jade talisman with blood patterns.

Behind this jade talisman is a Nascent Soul elder from Rakshasa Valley.

As a demonic sect, Luosha Valley had long ago begun another way of gathering resources. Since spiritual medicines were becoming increasingly scarce, the pills made by fourth-level alchemists were no longer enough.

All creatures in the world are resources, so let’s try another way to get those resources.

The blood and flesh essence pills refined by Luosha Valley using secret methods are no secret in Tiannan and several nearby major cultivation circles. Everyone is also refining it, but the amount is more or less, and the quality varies.

Although the essence of flesh and blood refined from the sacrifice of living creatures has more blood and filth compared to elixirs, it can at least improve one's cultivation and be used to repair injuries.

Although she had chosen the contact person in her mind, Ke Liyang was not in a hurry to contact him.

Instead, he quietly recuperated from his injuries and waited until five days later.

A figure flashed into the small mountain village like a stream of light and prostrated himself at her feet.

"Greetings, my Lord."

This is a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

"What's going on outside recently?"

The Jindan cultivator began to narrate, recounting what had happened in the nearby area. However, just as he was about to finish, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, and his sea of ​​consciousness was torn apart by a powerful divine thought.

There was horror in his eyes. He didn't know why Li Yang would kill him.

Li Yang did not care about the monk's state of panic, but instead flipped through the memories in his sea of ​​consciousness bit by bit.

Very good, just as described before, this subordinate did not lie to her.

She casually stabbed her slender fingers into the Jindan monk's chest, and quickly sucked his blood dry.

Why not directly find out the situation outside through communication? The main reason is that there is a risk of communication being intercepted. At the moment, Li Yang doesn't trust anyone.

She is just a subordinate, and there are many people outside who want to crawl at her feet.

The next moment, Li Yang disappeared from the cave. She activated the communication talisman only after she moved to another place.

"Friend Li, it's been a long time since we last met. I thought you had died in Canglan Mountain."

Not long after the communication talisman was activated, a hoarse voice was heard.

Li Yang frowned. It was true that good news never travels far, but bad news travels far and wide. Fortunately, she had hidden here in advance.

"Fellow Daoist, you want the fourth-level flesh and blood essence to heal your wounds, right?"

The hoarse voice in the jade talisman sounded again, "That's easy to say."

"Mr. Mu, just tell me what conditions you need."

Seeing that her injuries were exposed, Li Yang did not try to hide anything.

"No conditions are needed. The fact that Fellow Daoist Li still remembers me, Lao Mu, at this time shows that our friendship has been established. We just need to pay the normal price."

Mu Laogui's laughter sounded faintly, "How do you want to receive the goods, fellow Daoist?"

"I can go get it myself. It just so happens that your Luosha Valley has started a new round of harvesting. I prefer fresh ones."

Li Yang chuckled. One of her dead subordinates had told her before that several sects in the nearby area were engaged in a melee, which had also affected several large secular areas.

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Laogui’s laughter stopped.

After a few breaths, a sound was heard.

"Daoyou Li is really well prepared. My sect noticed the action just now. Then Daoyou Li, just wait for the good blood and flesh longevity cream on the table to be ready. I will definitely not let you down."

…

Inside the cave.

The scorching air rolled in and the rich aroma of medicine filled the air.

In the center of the cave, spiritual light surged in the colorful alchemy furnace, continuously emitting bursts of brilliant spiritual light, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard from the furnace.

Shen Lian had been sitting in front of the alchemy furnace for thirty-three days. There were only three days left before the furnace could be opened to take out the pills.

ps: No update in the afternoon, I took a day off. I was fine yesterday, but when I woke up today, my throat was sore and I felt uncomfortable all over. My body is really terrible after the orgasm. This happened just as the temperature dropped.
