Chapter 239 Poison Scheme

"It makes me laugh, senior. My wife was frightened by a rat spirit when she was a child, so even after she has entered the path of immortality, she still has some shadow of this kind of spirit."

The middle-aged man looked at the woman beside him and explained with some embarrassment.

Cui Ning looked indifferent, as if she wasn't interested at all, and just motioned for the middle-aged man to continue.

The man looked respectful. After this period of cultivation, his spirit has recovered well. Although he is only in the Qi refining stage now, he may not have the opportunity to step into the foundation building again in the future.

"As Xiao Xiao said before, there is a swamp three hundred miles to the west. It is said that there is a lot of poisonous fog and miasma there, and the corpse gas in it is strong.

"Ordinary immortal cultivators can't travel through the past at all, but the seniors have profound cultivation and amazing magical powers, so there must be no problem. And on the other side of the swamp, legend has it that it is the "Ghost Valley" place"

Hearing this, Cui Ning's face suddenly showed joy: "Are you so sure, fellow Taoist?"

"To be fair to seniors, juniors also heard the rumors accidentally, but nine times out of ten they are correct."

The man coughed a few times, and then said: "Actually, if my husband and I hadn't been too low in cultivation, we would definitely have taken the risk. After all, practicing in such an environment of corpse energy is not a good thing for ghost cultivators like us.

It’s of great benefit.”

When he said this, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes, while the woman lowered her head and twisted her hands together, looking uneasy.

Cui Ning then asked some questions about the specific location of the swamp, then ended the conversation, and then flew towards the west with a green light all over his body.

Looking at his back, a trace of hesitation flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but was soon replaced by a ruthless look.

…

Thinking of the previous behavior of the couple, Cui Ning showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

In the past, once a potential danger was discovered, Cui Ning would run as far as he could, but this time is different from the past. With his magical power, he could calmly leave even if he encountered an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.

With such confidence, I naturally don't need to be as careful about everything as before.

It's better to go and take a look. Although we can infer from the strange expressions of the couple that there should be something wrong with the so-called swamp and "Ghost Valley", now is not the time to delve deeper. If you want to know the truth or falsehood, go directly to a place.

That's it.

On the other side, the couple still stayed under the dead tree and did not leave. The bodies of some corpse vultures scattered around also showed that there had been a battle here before.

The man sat cross-legged and made a spell with each hand, his whole body flashing with spiritual light.

This time, I used the magical power recorded in the ancient jade tube, which really caused endless troubles.

Apart from anything else, his cultivation has dropped to the Qi Refining stage. When he thinks of this, the man's heart bleeds.

Although there may be opportunities to rebuild the foundation in the future, we don’t know how much time and resources it will take.

But fortunately, he was able to save his life, which is a blessing in misfortune.

But not far from where he was meditating, the female cultivator was in a daze, with a slightly uneasy look on her face.

In this way, about a cup of tea passed.

The man exhaled softly, slowly opened his eyes and tried to stand up.

Seeing this, the female cultivator hurriedly helped her and said, "Husband, are you feeling well?"

"How could it be so fast?" The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked at his wife and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Although your cultivation level has dropped to a big level, your life is not in danger."

"Yes." The woman responded softly, with a forced smile on her face: "With my husband's qualifications, I will definitely be able to rebuild and return to the foundation-building stage."

After saying this, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Mei'er, is there anything you haven't said yet? Are there any secrets between our Taoist couple?"

The man frowned as he looked at the female cultivator. They had been Taoist couples for decades and were already familiar with each other's personalities. He knew the other party had something to say just by looking at the woman's condition.

"Husband, what I don't understand is why you tricked that senior into going to the swamp. You clearly know that there are terrible corpse demons there..."

The woman raised her eyes and looked at the man blankly, with a hint of dissatisfaction evident in her tone.

"Mei'er, I have no choice but to be a husband." The man sighed: "You and I, husband and wife, were caught by the corpse demon and a restriction was planted in our bodies, so we can only obey its orders. Moreover, this senior has extraordinary skills. If

If we can kill that corpse demon, you should know clearly what the consequences will be if we disobey in the slightest."

The woman bit her lip, and after a while, she whispered:

"But no matter what, this senior saved both of our lives. It's okay if we don't repay him. If it ends up costing his life, then we will really repay a kindness with a grudge.

"Yes, the corpse demon ordered us to lead the human monks into the swamp for its cultivation, but we can trick others into going there without letting the seniors..."

The man's face turned red. Naturally, he had selfish motives in doing so.

This person has mediocre qualifications for cultivating immortals, but he is jealous by nature. He has practiced hard for nearly a hundred years before he finally succeeded in building the foundation. I am afraid that there is no hope for the golden elixir in this life, so he is very jealous of high-level monks, but he only does a good job on the surface.

I am also working hard, so why do those people have such great magical powers?

It was this somewhat twisted mentality that allowed him to repay kindness with hatred and trick Cui Ning into going to the swamp.

When he thought that the high-ranking Golden Core monk would die in the hands of the corpse demon because of his own scheme, not only did he not feel any guilt, but he was secretly happy.

Of course, he would not tell his beloved wife about this dark psychology, but instead showed a helpless expression on his face:

"Meier, I don't want to be my husband, but you also know what the corpse monster ordered.

"Every three days, at least one cultivator must be sent to it, and we have been out for more than two days, and there is only half a day left before the final deadline.

"If we really delay the time, the restriction left by the corpse demon will break out. You also know what it feels like after the attack."

When her husband mentioned the restriction, the female cultivator's face turned pale, as if she had thought of something terrible, and then she stopped talking.

After all, most immortal cultivators are selfish. Although she doesn't want to harm Cui Ning, she can't care too much when it comes to her own life.

After that, neither of them continued to speak, but remained silent tacitly.

Although Cui Ning has made great progress in cultivation, he is not the kind of adventurous and radical person. Since he knows that there are weird things in the swamp that the other party said, he will not jump into the trap foolishly.

First of all, we still need to find out the information clearly. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles.
