Chapter 695 Selfishness
The sky is getting dark and twilight is rising.
At some point, a layer of white cold air filled the grassland, and a bone-deep cold penetrated Tianling Gai directly from the soles of the feet.
Yunli cheered up and came.
She stood up and was about to put away the chair when she caught a glimpse of an ugly face next to her right foot. The face was pale and swollen, the big black lips seemed to be poisoned, and the eyes were black and blue, as if someone had punched her.
The scary thing is that only half of the nose is left, and the other side seems to have been eaten away by insects.
Realizing that someone was looking at it, his eyes rolled up to look at Yunli, but he used too much force and rolled out of his eye sockets and fell to the ground.
Yunli: "..."
What the hell? She kicked her up and kicked her face away. She raised her eyes and found that the environment had changed.
This is a forest, with gray-white trees standing upright, with branches intertwined, but not a single leaf; the ground is hard wasteland, and everything is withered, as if summer has suddenly entered winter.
Through the intertwined branches, you can see a red moon hanging in the sky. Under the dim blood-red light, the withered woods cast countless mysterious shadows.
"Sand... rustle..." A strange whisper sounded, the sound was high and low, far and near.
Shi Liang, the only golden elixir male cultivator who entered the Purgatory Valley, crossed his arms and exclaimed, "What kind of place is this? It's so scary."
Yunli lowered his eyes and saw a fat female ghost sitting at his feet.
She reminded: "Look at your legs."
"What's wrong with my legs?" Shi Liang screamed, jumped up, kicked the female ghost away, tore off the ghost's intestines and threw her away.
Others also jumped up one after another, their weapons floating in the air, their scalps numb as they looked at the ghosts sprouting like mushrooms on the ground.
Have they fallen into a ghost nest?
Ghosts are Yin, so when dealing with ghosts, the fire attacks are not effective, so everyone makes secrets and uses elixir fire to burn all nearby ghosts.
No, the fat female ghost did not disappear. At this moment, she was standing behind Shi Liang, her body almost completely overlapping with his.
Yunli spun her feet, came behind Shi Liang, and penetrated the female ghost's body with a fire magic spell.
"Ah——" A short and sharp scream resounded through the forest, and everyone's consciousness was aroused, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
Shi Liang groaned and staggered a few steps. Following his movements, everyone discovered that there was something like a rope behind his back, connecting him to the female ghost's belly.
Yunli suddenly thought of the intestine from before!
No, that's not the intestines, that's the umbilical cord!
This is not a fat female ghost, but a pregnant woman. The baby ghost in her belly is sucking Shi Liang's blood and vitality.
Spiritual fire arose from his fingertips, he swung it out and suddenly cut off the umbilical cord. Along with the shrill cry of the baby, the spiritual fire rushed into the belly of the female ghost.
Although these spiritual fires were not the heavenly fires of Nirvana, they were more powerful than other people's fire magic. The two ghosts screamed and turned into ashes.
Snap!
A bean-sized, black and white bead fell to the ground.
"It's a soul pearl!" Xu An from the Ghost Sect shouted in surprise.
His younger brother Xu Yuan was also a disciple of the Ghost Sect and obviously knew the bead. Without saying anything, he quickly used the object control technique to pick up the bead.
The excitement of the two brothers made the others realize that it was a good thing, and they couldn't help but feel a little sour.
Different from them, the two brothers of the Xu family of the Ghost Sect were not forced to die because they had no hope of advancing. They came to take a chance.
Wei Lin raised his eyebrows: "Soul beads?"
"According to the records passed down by our ancestors, certain ghosts will leave soul beads after death, similar to the demon pills of demon cultivators. They are the crystallization of the ghost's cultivation. Our special skills can be used to practice."
Hearing this, the others became less upset and secretly made some small calculations. The ghost sect monks not only practiced with spiritual energy, but also absorbed Yin energy and death energy, and were very evil.
This soul pearl is of no use to them. If they get it later, they can sell it to the Xu brothers and make a small profit.
The Xu brothers are also human beings, so they immediately said: "Fellow Taoists, the soul pearl is of great use to us. If you can get it, our brothers are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
"Brother Xu, please be polite. We have experienced life and death together and have a close friendship. As for the Soul Pearl, of course I will keep you close to me first."
The implication is that if the price is not right, they will wait to sell it to other ghost sect monks.
Wei Lin had a dark look on his face when he heard this. He was discussing the distribution of the soul beads before he got them. He was really arrogant.
He said: "Okay, let's go quickly."
This forest is not big, so if you go out early, you might be able to find some clues.
No one had any objections, Yu Qi was about to leave, but Xu Yuan was about to put away the soul beads when he inserted a hand sideways to stop him.
Yunli said softly: "Let me see."
Xu Yuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to speak. He glanced at Xu An subconsciously, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the soul bead.
Wei Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, did the Xu brothers hide something?
He didn't give it for a long time, and others also saw some clues, and their eyes gradually changed.
Under the probing gazes, Xu Yuan was a little nervous, calmed down, raised his eyes to look at Yunli, tried to blur the matter with a smile, but saw something in Yunli's eyes that could not be discussed.
He tightened his palm, slowly opened it, and then silently handed the soul pearl to Yunli.
Yunli held the soul bead and examined it, half-smiling but not smiling: "Can only ghost sect monks use it?"
Xu Yuan's face turned red with embarrassment, but Xu An had a strong heart and calmly defended: "There is only a small amount of soul power in the soul bead, and more is cold ghost power. If other monks accidentally incorporate it into the body, the meridians will be disordered at least, and it will go wrong at worst.
Possessed."
Yunli said meaningfully: "I didn't expect the Gui Sect to be so wealthy. In your eyes, the source of the soul is just a small amount of soul power."
Everyone was in an uproar. Soul power can be used to repair spiritual consciousness, and its effect is much faster than elixir spiritual planting.
The origin of the soul is even more precious. If the human soul is compared to a big tree, then the origin of the soul is the original seed, which is the foundation of the soul.
Generally speaking, the soul origin of every living being is fixed and elusive. I have never heard of anyone being able to solidify the soul origin.
How can such a treasure be purchased as a spiritual stone?
Yunli said the last four words extremely slowly, which made Xu An's scalp tingle. He felt a sharp coldness in her tone.
If this matter is not handled properly, the lives of his two brothers may be in danger. He tilted his head slightly with a puzzled look on his face: "What is the origin of the soul?"
Yunli's eyes were cold. She didn't want to waste any more words with him and drove him away directly: "You two are very capable and don't need to act with us. Please leave on your own."
She doesn't mind helping these people within her ability, but she will never work as a thug for free.
"Fairy Yun, we..."
Xu Yuan was anxious. They were just low-level ghosts now. They were still capable of protecting themselves, but there were many dangers ahead. Without Yunli to hold the line, their hope of survival was extremely low.
