Chapter 387: Deceived by the Golden Core Monk
The caravan does not have flying boats. The entire team travels on foot. They can only fly at low altitudes in safe sections of the road. No one dares to fly high because no one knows when a space crack will appear.
Listen to the leader's reminder.
Shen Ping couldn't help but look up into the sky. His powerful spiritual sense could detect the fluctuations of space cracks that appeared and disappeared in the distance. In this area, even he didn't dare to teleport at will. These space cracks did not all lead to the Canglan Demon Realm. Some would directly lead into the black fog Jedi.
Yingyue beside her was wearing a simple pink and white corseted embroidered skirt and a cloak on her head that covered her stunning face, but her charming and tall figure still attracted the attention of some monks.
"My husband, the strongest of these cultivators is only at the Jindan stage. If a demon cultivator appears, his cultivation level will not be that high."
Shen Ping nodded secretly, "We can just blend in with the caravan, there's no need to cause any trouble. When we get to the quarry beach, find a cultivator and use illusion to test the other party's will."
"Yes, husband."
Yingyue was very happy that Shen Ping took her with him. After all, her husband had many wives and concubines, some of whom had been together with him since childhood. The relationship between them was not something that her appearance could make up for.
After five days of traveling without any danger, some monks who went to the quarrying beach for the first time inevitably lowered their vigilance. On the sixth day, a few unlucky guys were sucked into the space cracks while flying.
Although Shen Ping was able to notice it in advance, he did not give too many warnings. These guys deserved it. Even he, a Mahayana master, flew at a low altitude, unlike them who were seeking death.
Yingyue followed closely beside Shen Ping.
During this period, there were no ignorant monks.
Ten days later.
There was still half a day's journey to the quarry beach, but unexpectedly we encountered a robbery repairman.
"Take out all the storage magic weapons. We won't harm your lives. We are only here for your wealth."
There were four robbers, two of them were Jindan human cultivators, and the other two were from other races, also at the Jindan level. There were six Jindan cultivators in the caravan, but these robber cultivators had already set up trapping and killing formations here. If they really fought to the death, the Jindan of the caravan might be fine, but the remaining foundation-building cultivators would definitely be in danger.
Shen Ping looked at these robber cultivators with great interest. They were good at hiding and the leader of the caravan didn't even notice them, so they were tricked.
"A few fellow Taoists."
"Our caravan often travels this way. Since you set up an ambush near the quarry beach, you must have come out of the quarry beach. It is inevitable that we will take this road again in the future. We will see each other sooner or later. How about this, each of us pays 500 spirit stones and goes our separate ways? "
The leading late Jindan cultivator stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Five hundred spirit stones? Humph, who are you going to send? One thousand each!"
There were a total of twenty-three cultivators in the caravan, with more than twenty thousand spirit stones. This was a considerable amount of spirit stones in the remote western area of the Dark Abyss, and even the poorer golden elixirs could not afford that.
Therefore, these words made the six Jindan cultivators frown, and the foundation-building cultivators looked even uglier. If they really wanted to take it, they could do so, but the loss would be considerable. A piece of medium-quality silver-veined evil wood from the quarrying beach was worth six hundred spirit stones in the market.
Yingyue smiled and transmitted her voice: "My husband, I guess they will fight in the end. The mana aura of these Tribulation Cultivators is ordinary, and their foundation is average. On the contrary, the leader has a solid foundation. If they really fight, some of the foundation builders may die, but these Tribulation Cultivators will definitely not get away with it."
Shen Ping didn't have much experience with this kind of scene, but he also agreed that some foundation-building cultivators would die. Most cultivators were selfish, and the Jindan in the caravan didn't care about the lives of the foundation-building cultivators. It would be a conscience of theirs if they didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"Husband, do you want me to help?"
Yingyue asked.
Shen Ping thought for a moment and said, "Just don't kill anyone, just consider it a good deed."
"Yingyue understands."
The two of them communicated with each other.
The leader of the caravan and the other several Jindan looked at each other, and as their eyes met, they had already discussed a countermeasure. They first pretended to agree, and then after taking out the spirit stones, they suddenly attacked, obviously preparing to break through the formation and sweep away the other foundation-building spirit stones.
Boom! All kinds of magic weapons flashed at once.
The fluorescent lights of the trapping array and the killing array were trembling continuously, and were broken by the caravan's golden elixir in just a few breaths.
The four Tribulation Cultivators also had their guard up, but they did not dare to fight with the Golden Core Cultivators and focused on taking care of those who were in the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Cultivation Cultivator ...
Come back to your senses.
They didn't realize that they had encountered a master, so they didn't dare to stay any longer and fled away.
At this time, only Shen Ping, Yingyue, and those weak foundation-building cultivators who did not have time to escape were left in the broken formation. Although these cultivators did not know why the four Tribulation cultivators fled, they vaguely guessed something. They looked at Shen Ping and Yingyue who were standing calmly in place, and hesitantly came over to salute one after another, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."
Shen Ping waved his hand casually, "Has anyone of you been to Quarry Beach?"
Soon a female cultivator stepped forward and said, "I've been there before, and we'll be there in half a day."
"Lead the way."
With this female cultivator leading the way, the group soon arrived at the Quarry Beach. After everyone left, the female cultivator volunteered to take the opportunity to bow and said, "Two seniors, I am quite familiar with the Quarry Beach. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me."
"No need."
The female cultivator was somewhat disappointed and had no choice but to leave.
"He is a smart young man."
Yingyue smiled and said, "If she can form a bond with her husband, her path of cultivation will be much smoother."
Shen Ping nodded without comment, then narrowed his eyes and looked away.
Tsk tsk.
When it enveloped the entire Quarry Beach Market, he immediately felt waves of evil spirits mixed with vengeful spirits constantly permeating his consciousness, but this kind of evil spirit was too weak for him.
Yingyue also felt it soon. She said in amazement, "This place is indeed special. The impact of this evil spirit is not strong. If you live in this environment for a long time, your will and consciousness will be tempered. Moreover, the evil spirit that permeates the environment should be the source of the birth and breeding of the Silver-veined Evil Wood."
Shen Ping looked towards the area in the middle of the market town and said, "Let's go and find a cultivator with the strongest evil spirit to ask about the situation."
With their cultivation level, they could easily sense the cultivator with the strongest evil spirit among all the cultivators in the market town. Even when they arrived at his residence, the other party still had no idea.
"Late Jindan stage."
"There are no Nascent Soul cultivators in this market, so the late Golden Core cultivators should be the strongest."
Yingyue looked at the gray-haired old man.
Shen Ping said calmly: "Although there are silver-veined evil trees here, the cultivation environment is extremely bad, and there is also the impact of evil spirits. It is difficult for foundation-building cultivators to practice here, and Yuanying cultivators will naturally not come. Okay, start asking."
Yingyue nodded, her eyes showing a slight wave of emotion.
The white-haired old man who was sitting in meditation was immediately caught in the illusion cast by Yingyue.
"Where is the source of the evil spirit in Quarry Beach?"
"In the Chaos Forest, there are a lot of space turbulence and rubble, and the impact of the evil spirit is very strong. Even Nascent Soul cultivators find it difficult to get close. I was lucky enough to go in once, but I could only stay on the edge and couldn't get close to the depths..."
The gray-haired old man knew everything and told it without any resistance at all.
Yingyue smiled and said, "Husband, it seems that the cultivators here do not have strong wills."
Shen Ping rolled his eyes. How could a Jindan resist the illusion cast by the Lianxu level? "Ask him if he can go in again?"
Yingyue asked quickly.
The gray-haired old man said, "We only have a 60% chance of success. It's very dangerous inside. If you are in the wrong position, you will be attacked by the turbulent space."
"Sixty percent sure... Let's give it a try and let him lead the way."
moment.
Shen Ping and Yingyue followed the white-haired old man and left the quarry beach, walking along a suspended stone road towards the Luankong Forest.
The Black Fog Jedi is a void space with islands formed by various stones inside. The stone road becomes narrower as you go deeper into it. It was originally a road used by monks from the quarrying beach to go out and look for piles of silver-veined evil wood, but no one dares to go there anymore when you get deep into it.
Come to the end.
The gray-haired old man said, "The front is the black fog and the void. We must prepare enough magic power recovery pills before entering."
"Keep going."
Flying on a magic weapon.
The two could clearly feel that the impact of the evil energy around them was becoming stronger and stronger, and the space became unstable. After flying for two cups of tea, the white-haired old man's magic power was exhausted. This was because Shen Ping brought him with him. If the white-haired old man relied on himself, he might not be able to last even half a cup of tea.
After restoring mana.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The three continued to move forward.
They continued to move forward in this way for five days, stopping and resting. A large number of rocks appeared in front of them, and each rock was several kilometers wide.
"This is a rocky area, where the silver-veined evil wood grows the most, but few cultivators dare to come in..."
Shen Ping and Yingyue knew the reason. In the past five days, they had encountered no less than a hundred spatial turbulences, which were extremely fast and difficult for ordinary Jindan cultivators to avoid.
Step on the boulder.
The two soon saw evil trees that looked like towering giant trees. The surface of each tree was filled with a strong evil aura. Even if one's spiritual consciousness came into contact with them, one would feel dizzy. Those with a slightly weaker will be directly attacked by the evil aura and turned into walking corpses.
Once they become evil puppets, they will be controlled by the evil spirit. After walking for half a day, they saw several unlucky evil puppets. However, the strength of these puppets was very ordinary. Shen Ping did not need to take action. Yingyue could easily solve them.
"Before the rocky belt is the chaotic sky forest. There are more spatial turbulence in this area, like a jungle. There are also spatial vortices in it. Only by entering a specific spatial vortex can you reach the source of the evil spirit."
The gray-haired old man spoke as he searched.
And layers of red lines appeared in Shen Ping's pupils. Through the pupils of the sea beast, he quickly locked onto a space vortex from a large amount of space turbulence. The energy of evil spirits near it was the highest, and it could even affect the refining of emptiness.
At this time, the white-haired old man set his sights on another space vortex. Although the evil spirit near this vortex was also very strong, in addition to the evil spirit, there was a very dark aura.
If it weren't for the eyes of a sea beast.
Shen Ping was completely unaware of this dark aura.
"Are you sure it's this vortex?"
After avoiding many spatial turbulences along the way, the three of them stood in front of the spatial vortex, and Shen Ping looked at the white-haired old man.
The old man with lace nodded repeatedly.
Puff! Shen Ping waved his hand and a ray of magic power surged out, directly cutting off one of the arms of the old man with lace, "Are you sure now?"
Yingyue beside him was startled, then realized something and stared at the gray-haired old man, "You can actually resist my illusion?!"
The gray-haired old man screamed and shook his head, "Senior, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
There was no trace of the controlled expression he had before.
This made Yingyue look a little unhappy. "A cultivator in the late Jindan stage actually relied on his willpower to resist the illusion. This place is really strange and special."
"Husband, if it weren't for you, we would have been deceived by him."
Shen Ping nodded, "Tell me, what's inside this vortex?"
“It’s a demon spirit!”
"As soon as you enter, you will be attacked by a large number of evil spirits. Even a Divine Transformation cultivator will not be able to escape."
The gray-haired old man dared not hide it any longer.
Shen Ping was quite surprised and asked: "Why aren't you afraid of the evil spirit?"
"I, I was lucky enough to get a ten thousand year old silver-veined evil wood in the rocky area. It can help me resist the attacks of the evil spirits."
Yingyue sneered and said, "This old guy must have cheated other cultivators before."
Shen Ping became interested. "The fact that I can resist your illusion shows that the evil spirit here can really sharpen my will. Continue to lead the way."
This time, the white-haired old man did not cheat again, but took Shen Ping and Yingyue into the vortex with the most intense evil spirit.
brush.
Step into the vortex.
It was as if the space had changed, and the scene in front of me suddenly became bright, no longer a dark void.
Buzz~ Meanwhile.
Waves of strong evil energy swept over from afar.
Yingyue frowned, "The evil spirit here can already affect me."
The gray-haired old man said quickly, "A normal Jindan Yuanying who comes in will die. I was able to resist it with the help of the ten thousand year old silver-veined evil wood. After that, I have been tempered here for hundreds of years, and my will has transformed... The further in we go, the stronger the impact of the evil spirit becomes. Even with the ten thousand year old silver-veined evil wood, I can only go a few feet away."
Listen to this.
Yingyue walked forward ten feet before her body began to shake and her face showed a hint of pain.
Shen Ping raised his hand and pulled him back, letting him sit cross-legged and rest first, while he continued to move forward. Just as the white-haired old man said, with every ten feet he walked, the intensity of the evil spirit's impact would increase, but it would not affect him.
Ten feet.
Fifty feet.
A hundred feet away.
At this distance, the evil spirit continued to impact his spiritual sea of consciousness like a sharp knife, causing the entire sea of consciousness to vibrate.
He gritted his teeth and kept walking.
After walking another ten feet, the impact had already infected his sea of consciousness, but it had not yet reached the limit of his endurance. However, Shen Ping stopped, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and used his spirit to resist the impact of the evil spirit.
When Yingyue, who had had a good rest, saw this scene, she knew that her husband was going to temper his will here, so she simply took the white-haired old man back to the edge of the vortex and wait.
Time passes by little by little.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Ping walked forward another five meters. He could clearly feel that his will was constantly improving, which made him look happy. This time he went directly to the limit of what he could bear. The strong impact made his sea of consciousness on the verge of collapse, as if he was facing the pressure of the consciousness of the strange beast.
