Mortal Seeking Immortal

While the spirit beetles were devouring the flesh and blood of the Magic Tail Scorpion, Ye Zhou came to the place where the two monks had fallen, picked up the storage bags and magic weapons they left on the ground, and plundered all the useful things in the storage bags. .

"The disciples of the great sect are just extraordinary. Their wealth is far beyond that of ordinary casual cultivators."

From the storage bags of these two people, Ye Zhou obtained almost 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones, a pile of spiritual grass and spiritual plants, and some jade slips of martial arts.

Swish!

Ye Zhou chopped the storage bag into pieces with satisfaction.

Just as Ye Zhou was preparing to return the same way, his eyes inadvertently crossed the lake not far away, and he had a doubtful thought in his heart: "Haven't monsters since ancient times chosen to live in places with strong spiritual energy? The spiritual energy here is so thin, this god Why is the Phantom Tail Scorpion guarding here? Is there something in the lake worthy of its protection?"

Since ancient times, the birth of heavenly materials and earthly treasures has always been accompanied by monsters. There shouldn't be any rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures in this lake, right?

Ye Zhou quickly released his spiritual consciousness and swept around. After seeing that there was no trace of anyone else around, Ye Zhou carefully escaped towards the lake. Looking at the extremely deep lake that could isolate people from the exploration of his spiritual consciousness, Ye Zhou patted the storage bag. , releasing Koyama who was practicing in the Hyakki Banner.

As soon as Xiao Shan came out, he stood respectfully in front of Ye Zhou and saluted: "Master."

Ye Zhou ordered: "Go and check what's in the lake."

Xiaoshan took the order and turned into a black shadow and dived into the lake. Ye Zhou waited patiently on the shore.

Time passed quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the swarm of spirit beetles released by Ye Zhou had devoured all the flesh of the Magic Tail Scorpion, and then happily flew to Ye Zhou's side.

Ye Zhou took a cursory glance at the spirit beetle swarm and found that after devouring the flesh of the magical tail scorpion, the spirit beetle swarm's overall cultivation level improved a little. Ye Zhou thought to himself: "It seems that this monster meat is really effective against spirit insects." It’s a great supplement. If you have the chance, you have to kill more in the secret realm.”

With a thought in Ye Zhou's mind, all the spirit beetles suddenly got back into the insect bag on Ye Zhou's waist.

At this moment, Ye Zhou heard a sound of water coming from behind him, and something came out of the lake.

Ye Zhou hurriedly turned around and saw Xiaoshan flying towards the shore with a bunch of dark things in his arms. He said excitedly: "Master is wise, there really is a treasure in this lake!"

Ye Zhou quickly stepped forward to check and saw that the pile of black things in Xiaoshan's arms were oval black eggs the size of a palm. In addition, there was a jade slip.

Ye Zhou's pupils couldn't help but dilate after seeing the pile of black eggs, and his breathing became rapid at the same time: "This...could this be the eggs laid by the magical phantom-tailed scorpion?!"

Ye Zhou reached out and took out a black egg, and used his spiritual consciousness to look inside. Sure enough, he found a mini version of the magical tail scorpion exuding vitality. This young magical tail scorpion seemed to have just been Formed, not yet conscious.

A joyful smile appeared on Ye Zhou's face: "It is said that some monsters are very weak when giving birth. For the safety of themselves and their offspring, the monsters will choose a safe place in advance to give birth and protect the offspring from hatching from the eggs. This can explain why the magical tail scorpion stays in this place with thin spiritual energy."

Ye Zhou used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine each egg, screened out the bad ones, threw them to other spirit insects in the insect bag to make food, and carefully put the remaining eggs of the magical tail scorpion into the insect bag. .

Then Ye Zhou took the jade slip from Xiaoshan's hand, and his spiritual sense penetrated it to examine it, and his face suddenly showed a look of joy.

This is actually a profound skill from the ancient times called "The Secret Scroll of Six Ren All Things" that can hide the aura and appearance. With this skill, even if you meet a high cultivator, you may not be able to see the clues.

Moreover, this technique is applicable to both human and ghost cultivators. After ghost cultivators learn this technique, they can hide the ghost energy around them and become like ordinary monks.

Ye Zhou immediately made a quick rubbing of the jade slip and handed it to Xiao Shan, asking him to comprehend the technique as soon as possible in the Hundred Ghost Banners.

If Xiaoshan can hide the ghost energy around him, Ye Zhou can take him with him at any time in this dangerous secret realm. He doesn't have to worry about Xiaoshan revealing his identity as a demon cultivator. He can also fight against the foundation-building Dzogchen monks. One more means of coping.

Xiaoshan took the order and immediately returned to the Hundred Ghost Banners with the rubbed jade slips to practice. Ye Zhou also started to rush towards the central area while seriously meditating on the "Liu Ren Wanxiang Secret Scroll". He had to hurry before entering the inner secret realm. Learn this technique.

Fortunately, his soul is powerful and he can multi-task without affecting each other, which is difficult for ordinary monks to do.

…

Three hours later, beside a wide and fast black river in the secret realm, a thin young monk with an ordinary appearance and dark skin who was at the 10th level of qi training carefully walked to the river.

After standing still, the young monk vigilantly released his spiritual consciousness and scanned the surroundings. After not noticing the aura of other monks, the monk then turned his attention to a clump of purple-black grass growing by the river in front of him.

"I didn't expect to encounter the Nine Yin Guiyuan Soul Condensing Grass here. This grass is of great benefit to ghost cultivators."

The monk murmured in his mouth, bent down and stretched out his hand to pick the purple-black grass. Unexpectedly, a dead tree trunk floating in the river suddenly shot up from the river, exuding a wave of early foundation building. With his aura, he rushed towards the monk with his teeth and claws bared, intending to devour the monk in one bite.

If it had been any other Qi-training monks, they would have been so frightened that they would have backed away, but this monk's expression did not change, he just waved his sleeves and said: "Go!"

A golden light shot out from the monk's sleeve, and the moment it came into contact with the 'dead tree trunk' in mid-air, it shot into the 'dead tree trunk'.

In a moment, the 'dead tree trunk' that had been rushing towards the monk ferociously suddenly swung its body wildly in the air, as if struggling to death, and screamed in pain from time to time.

The next moment, the 'dead tree trunk' fell heavily at the monk's feet with a 'boom', and the life force in its body was completely cut off.

Looking closely again, the 'dead tree trunk' was clearly a three-meter-long ugly monster with a long mouth and thick armor on its back. Because the black and gray thick armor on its back was uneven, like a dead tree, it often used this as a cover to ambush other monks or monsters passing by the river.

The next moment when the monster's breath was cut off, the golden light that had penetrated into the monster's body came out from the monster's forehead with a swoosh sound, turned into a beetle and landed on the monk's shoulder.

The monk gently reached out and stroked the beetle on his shoulder: "Xiaoyuan, you did a good job."

The beetle rubbed the monk's fingers intimately, as if it was acting coquettishly, and then hugged its round belly after swallowing the monster's inner elixir, and flew into the monk's sleeve with a swoosh sound to take a rest.

It turned out that this monk was Ye Zhou, who had learned the "Six Ren Wanxiang Secret Scroll" and changed his breath and appearance.

Ye Zhou picked the Nine Yin Guiyuan Ninghun Grass growing by the river, took off the thick armor on the back of the monster, cut off its sharp claws, and slapped the insect control bag on his waist, releasing a group of spirit beetles to devour the monster's body completely.
