Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

On the land outside the city,

The monstrous beasts had mouths filled with countless rows of circular arranged fangs, which made Lin Xiu feel nauseous and almost triggered his trypophobia.

Each one was over ten zhang long, like stone pillars standing outside the field, seemingly having some kind of blood relationship with earthworms.

Are they the sandworms from science fiction movies?

Fortunately, Ji Ning reminded him in time. Otherwise, if he had casually landed on them, he would have been torn to pieces by these fangs in an instant.

Looking at the blue gas constantly emanating from their mouths, it is feared that the toxicity is not low, so he immediately took a high-grade detoxification pill.

At the same time, he silently thanked a Fellow Daoist who contributed the storage bag.

Six years ago, it was something he could only hope for but couldn't obtain. Now, he already had seven or eight of them on him.

"Just a mid-stage Nascent Soul stage demonic beast, it seems they are not the reason for the extinction of the secret realm's giant beasts."

Although ants can kill an elephant, it also depends on the situation.

In this place, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators are stopped at the entrance. How could they be reduced to such a state by earthworms that haven't even reached the Foundation Building stage?

His heart sank. It is feared that there is something extremely dangerous in this city. Ji Ning was able to hold on until now without dying, who knows what means she used.

He fired several "Ice God Talismans" in succession, each one accurately thrown into the mouths of these large earthworms, instantly freezing them. Lin Xiu stepped on the city gate.

"The Mansion of Qing Yuan?"

He looked at the half-opened city gate, which emitted a strange red light. He took out a voice transmission talisman.

"Hey, I'm going in!"

"Don't come in!"

"I must come in, tell me what to be careful of!"

"It's too dangerous here. Go find Hong Jie and ask her to invite my father."

"How long will that take? Look at your life talisman, it's almost crushed into powder. It's better to go in and investigate the situation!"

"Don't!"

"Tell me, what dangers are there inside?"

...

After a long time,

Ji Ning's voice transmission talisman,

"If you don't come in, then get lost! └(＞o＜)┘"

These two people were used to bickering for a long time. Even in such a life-or-death moment, they could still chat about trivial matters and turn it into a scene where Ji Ning urged Lin Xiu to enter the city.

Lin Xiu was covered in talismans, wearing three sets of robes.

"Don't rush, I'm ready!"

"Damn it, the number of times is up, but I still have questions!"

The talismans made of white jade in his hand turned into powder and dispersed in the wind.

Voice transmission talismans have a limited number of uses, and his was relatively low-level, so it crashed due to insufficient payment!

Lin Xiu took a deep breath and stepped through the crack in the city gate.

He casually threw a low-grade Law Weapon inside to observe. After seeing that the Law Weapon was unharmed, he dared to step into the city.

Behind the gate, a fresh white bone reflected a horrifying red light in the crimson space, causing Lin Xiu's legs to tremble.

This was the fear of the "Yin Gan Water" in this place.

From Ji Ning's explanation, this thing specifically contaminates the Law Weapons, talismans, and spiritual energy of cultivators, making it the natural enemy of cultivators.

If even a little is stuck, even third-grade robes and treasures will turn into tattered rags and scrap iron.

As for the transformation of people into white bones, it is naturally the work of a different kind of spiritual energy.

And the reason he waited for so long was that this thing would shrink dramatically every few hours, reducing its range to the trunk of the giant tree in the center of this city, so that other areas of the city would not be completely covered by it.

"Qingtong!"

Lin Xiu stepped on the flying sword, not daring to fly too high or get too close to the ground, and could only slowly push forward along the street towards the trunk of the giant tree.

This is a typical ancient architectural style city, although it has long lost its red walls and green tiles, the buildings enveloped in countless vines and wild grass still show its former prosperity to people.

Lin Xiu carefully avoided the strange spiritual energy floating in the air, and there were scattered skeletal remains in every corner, both old and new.

Those who arrived here not long ago were naturally accidental Independent Cultivators who had accidentally found their way here. They thought they had found a great treasure, but they didn't expect to walk into a human hell.

"A group of fools with water in their brains, pitiful!" Without hesitation, he collected their storage Law Weapons and couldn't help but sigh.

On the path of cultivation, bones pave the way, and only a few people can truly reach the Ascension stage.

Lin Xiu was extremely cautious and finally arrived at the largest mansion in the city, with the trunk of the giant tree that covered the entire city rooted here, blocking out the sky.

Countless crimson liquid turned into fine threads, almost forming a blood rain, enveloping the entire mansion, giving the sensation of facing a hellish ghost palace, eerie and sinister.

Lin Xiu stood far away and casually threw a low-level Law Weapon.

Instantly, these fine raindrops seemed to sense something and changed from a straight down state to countless curves, instantly devouring the Law Weapon.

"Yin and Gan Water!"

This thing is actually the resin of this demonic tree, extremely similar to the techniques or artifacts used by the demonic sect to corrode and defile other people's Law Weapons. It's unknown how Ji Ning managed to enter it back then.

"Heh, no matter what method you use, aren't you still trapped inside, half-dead and waiting to die?"

He silently mocked someone in his heart and took out a huge pill furnace!

This pill furnace was completely black, and its style was no different from the ordinary ones. It was a free donation from a Fellow Daoist.

Lin Xiu used the most basic alchemy technique, injecting a strand of pill energy into the pill furnace.

"The Water Refining Method!"

To deal with this kind of water attribute substance, besides using earth-based Law Weapons that counteract it, one can also use metal vessels with water attributes.

Lin Xiu didn't find any good earth-based Law Weapons among those storage treasures, and he didn't dare to take the risk with inferior ones, so he had to try this compromise method.

This pill furnace might be a collection of that Fellow Daoist, after all, no alchemist would run to the dangerous Thousand Despair Mountains to find death. It's more secure and profitable to stay at home and make pills.

With a soft drink, the scene just happened again. Countless "Yin and Gan Water" seemed to be summoned and all rushed over, making way for the open space in front of the mansion.

At the same time, these things didn't directly corrode the pill furnace, but were all contained in the smoke hole above the furnace, turning into a pool of mercury-like liquid that kept growing.

The effect was good, at least all the "Yin and Gan Water" in front of the mansion was sucked in.

Lin Xiu didn't dare to delay and used spiritual energy to support the pill furnace above his head like a large umbrella, quickly passing through the temporarily safe space in front of the mansion.

"Crack!"

Almost as soon as he stepped into the mansion, the pill furnace made a cracking sound, and Lin Xiu immediately threw it out.

"It's too scary, such a thick furnace wall only lasted less than a breath."

Lin Xiu stood under an octagonal gate with lingering fear, and was stunned by the scene in front of him when he looked up.

Countless giant snake bones almost covered the road ahead, and even the smallest snake bone was thicker than his entire body!

Judging from their size, they were probably at least second rank, and some were almost reaching the level of a fourth rank demonic beast!

Is this a snake's nest?

A flash of insight came to his mind.

"Perhaps it really was!"
