Chapter 324 Two million!
Who would have thought that this evil cultivator was quite wealthy. Five million spirit stones were nothing. There were countless treasures and elixirs in it. The most important thing was that there were nearly a hundred books. Needless to say, those were the skills that the evil cultivator had devoted his entire life to studying.
Zhong Ling'er threw the storage ring into her sea of consciousness, asking Lao Ji to decipher the evil cultivator's magic as soon as possible, especially to find out the secrets that might be hidden in the woods.
After a while, Lao Ji's anxious voice sounded in Zhong Ling'er's sea of consciousness.
"Zhong Ling'er, don't go into that forest. It's a formation set up by evil cultivators. It's called the Soul-Snatching Formation. As soon as you go in, your soul will be separated from your body, and the evil cultivators will extract the vitality in your body to prolong their lives. When the body is dead, the soul has nowhere to rely on, and can only stay in the formation for them to use."
"Moreover, this evil method is very vicious. The souls of cultivators contain the merit power of the good deeds they did in their lifetime. They extract this merit power for their own use, which can temporarily improve their cultivation. The souls they have used are damaged and can no longer enter reincarnation."
Zhong Ling'er asked hurriedly, "Is there any way to break this formation?"
"Only those who practice the evil cultivation technique can enter the formation. There is no other way."
Zhong Ling'er said disdainfully, "Don't be so absolute. What do you mean there is no other way? At worst, I can just blow up this forest with a divine thunderbolt."
The Will of Heaven said hurriedly, "Yes, this is a good idea. I always did this in the past. Whenever I found any evil ways, I would directly strike them with lightning. If one lightning doesn't work, I would use two. Basically, nine lightning strikes would be enough to solve the problem."
Old Ji was speechless. Canghai ran over, holding the storage ring and said, "Qingxuan said he urgently needs the spiritual stones in it. If you don't want anything, then they will all belong to me."
Zhong Ling'er waved her hand and let him take it. She felt that she had suddenly turned from a wealthy woman into a working girl. All the money she made just passed through her hands, and in the blink of an eye, everything was gone. She had to work three jobs desperately to earn more money.
Qingxuan has slept for nearly ten thousand years. Now she is full of energy and is concentrating on helping Canghai evolve the small world. She needs everything urgently and is so scared that she doesn't dare to put her treasures in the Canghai Pearl. But Canghai doesn't leave her any private money and all her storage rings have to be handed over, making her look almost poor.
Zhong Ling'er left her sea of consciousness with a bitter face. Seeing that one of the four evil cultivators was knocked down again, she immediately rushed over happily to get the storage ring. However, the evil cultivator was not dead. He turned over and pounced on Zhong Ling'er viciously, as if he was willing to take her down with him even if he died.
Zhong Ling'er was so scared that she used space magic to disappear instantly. As a result, when she appeared behind the evil cultivator, she saw the evil cultivator rushing into the woods.
It seemed that the other evil cultivators had also reached a consensus and instantly retreated into the woods.
"Look, their aura has changed. I said they weren't going through the tribulation, they've only reached the fusion stage."
"They must have used evil methods to improve their cultivation. Now that the time is up and they can't escape, they can only retreat to the woods to defend themselves."
"Should we go in? There must be something strange in this woods."
"What's strange? They are already at the end of their strength. Let's attack together."
Zhong Ling'er immediately shouted, "You guys go ahead, I won't go in, but if you need me to rescue you, remember to pay me two million spirit stones."
Many people got angry.
"Zhong Ling'er, don't ask for spirit stones all the time. After all, you are a direct disciple of Taiqiong Sect."
"Yeah, don't keep threatening us with asking for money. We are not scared of that."
Zhong Ling'er pouted, "You all know that I'm a direct disciple of the Taiqiong Sect. Don't you know that the Taiqiong Sect is very poor? And if you want to go in, just go ahead. You have money anyway, so a few million spirit stones are nothing to you."
Many people shut up. What do you mean by "a few million spirit stones are nothing"? Even the next head of the family, Xuanyuan Hongyuan, only gets 10,000 spirit stones a month. With his status, he can even advance some expenses, but the maximum will not exceed 500,000. Not to mention the other small families or the children of the side branches. Many of them have never even seen a million spirit stones.
So everyone talked, but it was as if they had nails under their feet and they didn't move at all. What a joke. They had already invested one million spirit stones, and if they had to pay another two million, the family (sect) would not help them pay. The thought of a debt of two million was terrifying.
Zhong Linger stepped forward to study the evil cultivator's formation. Just as she saw some clues, she felt a chill on her wrist and the copper-scaled snake came back quietly.
"Xiao Tong, I thought you eloped with the Ghost King and left me alone?"
The copper-scaled snake was very anxious, "Quick, come with me to rescue the Ghost King. You can only go alone. Something has happened to him."
Zhong Ling'er immediately said to everyone, "I think there are some problems here. I'll go and look for them. Don't move. I'll be back soon."
Zhong Ling'er turned around and ran, but after running two steps, she still felt uneasy, so she turned back and said, "Remember, next time I help you, you have to pay two million spirit stones."
After emphasizing this, he felt relieved and ran out.
Many people were dissatisfied, especially when they saw the evil cultivators in the woods recover and began to provoke them, they even had the urge to rush in and fight.
The evil cultivator shouted, "So you don't dare to enter the woods? Then just surround them. I'll treat you like a group of guard dogs."
The monk cursed, "Come out if you dare. I don't know who was beaten like a dog just now!"
"You guys can't beat the four of us and you still have the nerve to say that? I'm not stupid."
"Hey, the evil cultivator actually tried to talk to us about fairness. Do you think you deserve it? Beating you would make our hands dirty."
The two sides started a war of words. The evil cultivator would never come out even if he was beaten to death. Going out would be seeking death.
The monks just opened their mouths without moving, because the two million life-saving money allowed them to maintain basic sanity. Several times, they took a step forward but retracted it when they thought of the two million.
The two sides argued for nearly an hour and used swear words three times, but neither could convince the other, so they both shut up tacitly, sat down cross-legged and started staring at each other.
Bai Luochen couldn't help looking in the direction where Zhong Ling'er left. The junior sister had been gone for too long. Did she encounter any difficulties? Should he go look for her?
Zhong Ling'er was really in trouble at this time. She was called upstream by the copper-scaled snake, and after passing through the sea of flowers in Wangchuan, she came to a cave.
The Ghost King's hands and feet were handcuffed to the wall with iron chains. His eyes were red and he kept roaring. It was obvious that he had lost his mind.
"Is he going to be possessed? Did you lock him up?"
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, the copper-scaled snake came down from Zhong Ling'er's wrist, and its body expanded to the height of a person before answering Zhong Ling'er's words.
"He was injured by the Sky Demon, and the demonic energy entered his body. He would go crazy every once in a while. Now the demonic energy is about to enter his heart meridians, and he is not far from becoming a demon. But it was not me who tortured him, but himself."
