Although he has confidence in his soul level, Chen Lin is not careless. He raises his perception to the highest state and is always on guard against abnormal situations.
He didn't send his spiritual thoughts too far. When he felt that the intensity weakened, he immediately stopped extending, and then changed the position of his body to expand the scope of exploration.
In the following time, the three of them wandered around the space on the first floor.
Half an hour later.
While he was concentrating on sensing the situation detected by his spiritual sense, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly came to his mind, causing Chen Lin's expression to change.
This is the innate ability that gives an early warning!
He immediately used his secret technique to cut off the extended spiritual thoughts!
Then I saw a black thread as thin as a hair, slowly appearing in the void, as if it had lost its target.
Chen Lin felt relieved. The opponent really needed to rely on his spiritual thoughts to become invisible. Once his spiritual thoughts were cut off, he could no longer hide his figure.
Even so, it frightened him.
If it weren't for the innate ability to warn him, he wouldn't have felt the intrusion of this thing at all, and his concealment ability would be truly terrifying.
You must know that he is always tense and dare not relax at all.
Chen Lin retreated sharply, staring closely at the thin black line, in case the other party had other means.
Originally, he thought that his spiritual sense was strong enough and he would definitely be able to sense the ghost when it came out. Now it seems that being overconfident is not a good thing.
But he is not acting recklessly. Even if the opponent really follows his spiritual thoughts and enters his body, he can be eliminated with the protection of the Thunder God Sword. Innate power is the nemesis of all weird things. It is precisely because of this trump card.
Only then would he agree to serve as a lure to lure the ghost out.
It's just that killing and capturing alive are not the same thing. If you want to refine ghosts and increase their soul strength, you can't use dead ones. You still need Lu Xiaoyi to capture them alive.
At this time, Lu Xiaoyi had already taken action.
As soon as Black appeared, she took out a fist-sized crystal, and when activated, it bloomed with dazzling light.
He didn't know what kind of energy this light was. Chen Lin didn't feel it at all, but he saw that the black line seemed to be frozen, becoming extremely stiff and unable to hide his figure again.
Then Lu Xiaoyi walked to the bottom of the black thread easily and comfortably, waved her hand, took the black thread into her hand, and quickly wrapped it around her.
Soon, the thin thread was pulled out of the void bit by bit, and wound into a tight ball.
Lu Xiaoyi cut it off with black thread, put it into a special box, and began to continue winding it. When all the black thread was pulled out, he got another ball of thread of about the same size, which was also put into a box.
The whole process went smoothly, as if it had been done countless times.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt that this was definitely not the first time that the other party had captured this kind of roving silk. He was so skilled, and the crystal seemed to be a treasure tailor-made for capturing this kind of thing.
This made him curious about the other party's identity. If he specialized in the soul path, he could contact him to see if the other party had a way to advance to the true soul.
"Okay, you're done!"
Lu Xiaoyi put away the crystal, came to Chen Lin, and handed him a box.
Chen Lin took the box in his hand, checked it, and was about to open it.
"Don't!"
Lu Xiaoyi immediately stopped him.
Then he explained: "This is a spirit-sealing box, specially designed for small underworld creatures. The wandering silk inside has been rejuvenated at this moment. If you open it and let it invade your body, I don't care."
Chen Lin frowned and said, "Then if you want to refine this thing, what should you do?"
Lu Xiaoyi shrugged, "Then it depends on your own methods. I'm just reminding you that if you don't have the relevant secret skills, I can provide them to you, but I will charge you half of the traveling silk as a reward."
"hehe."
Chen Lin sneered, ignored the other party, and opened the box directly.
One end of the black thread inside immediately bounced up and went straight towards his body.
But immediately, a jet-black light shot out from his fingertips, hitting the thin black line.
The thin black thread suddenly softened and shrank back, its breath became extremely weak, and it trembled slightly.
When Chen Lin saw this, he showed a satisfied look. As expected, the Soul-Destroying Finger was also very restrained on this object. This would be much easier to handle. Otherwise, if he had to use the Thunder God Sword to suppress it, he would be really afraid of destroying it in one go.
In this way, if he encounters this object again, he can also use the Soul-Destroying Finger to capture it.
Then, Chen Lin directly grabbed the black thread ball, then threw the box to Lu Xiaoyi, took out one of his own spirit-sealing bottles and stuffed the thread ball into it, sealed it and put it into the space bag.
Seeing this set of tactics, Lu Xiaoyi and Zhang Zhenqian were shocked.
Especially Zhang Zhenqian, I feel like he is a waste.
"Ahem, it seems that both fellow Taoists have restraints on ghosts, so we can continue exploring with confidence. The entrance to the next level is in front of us. Let's go directly to the fourth level!"
Zhang Zhen coughed dryly, covering up his embarrassed expression, and then spoke.
Chen Lin thought for a while, looked at the other party and said, "Do you want me to help you get that spiritual herb, Daoist Fellow Zhang? What kind of spiritual herb is it that makes Fellow Daoist miss you so much?"
The ghosts here pose little threat to him, and it is not known who took away Mu Shengyuan's storage bag. If the spiritual grass that the other party wants to take is very rare, and he can share some with him, he can go and take a look.
Otherwise, he would have to act alone.
Lu Xiaoyi also looked over, obviously having the same idea as Chen Lin.
Zhang Zhenqian hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "Since the two Taoist friends asked, I won't hide it. What I want to get is the Soul-fixing Flower!"
Lu Xiaoyi suddenly became energetic and his eyes shone brightly.
Chen Lin didn't have much reaction.
The soul-fixing flower is indeed a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Its function is to temporarily stabilize the origin of the soul so that it will not collapse. It is useful for refining defensive soul treasures or practicing the secret technique of soul separation.
Of course, its biggest role is to help monks advance to the Void Refining Realm!
When a monk is promoted to Void Refining, his soul needs to be broken up and reorganized. The origin is the easiest to collapse. It is much safer to have the Soul-fixing Flower. The qualified god-transforming monks will prepare this when they are promoted.
But this thing is of little significance to him, because his soul has already reached a certain level of strength, and the stability of its origin exceeds the stability range of the Soul-fixing Flower, so it would be a waste to use it.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin said: "It turns out to be the soul-fixing flower. I heard that this flower has a very long growth cycle, and there is only one flower at a time. I will not participate. The two Taoist friends can share more."
"After saying that, his body swayed and disappeared."
This straightforward move made Zhang Zhenqian and both of them stunned.
As a monk in the late stage of spiritual transformation, it is really unexpected that he could be so calm or even completely uninterested after hearing the news about Soul-fixing Flower.
"Hehe, where did you invite this person? He is really mysterious. You must introduce him to me in the future. I am very interested in this friend!"
Lu Xiaoyi saw Chen Lin leaving, smiled at Zhang Zhenqian, and said.
Zhang Zhenqian thought for a while and said: "You are right, it is indeed very mysterious. I didn't see it before. I thought it was just an alchemist who was good at refining alchemy."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Xiaoyi and said, "Did Fellow Daoist Lu see who took Mu Shengyuan's storage bag?"
It is now certain that Mu Shengyuan's death was an accident and was not assassinated by one of his own people, but the other party's storage bag was definitely not taken away by the wandering silk ghost.
"What, you doubt me?"
Lu Xiaoyi's eyes widened and he glared angrily.
Zhang Zhenqian shook his head, "I don't doubt you, not even the people in our team doubt you. After all, everyone is invited, and I still know a little bit about everyone's character."
After a pause, he solemnly said: "But if it wasn't us, it means there are other monks here. After all, ghosts generally don't touch monks' storage bags."
Lu Xiaoyi nodded.
"What you said is right, and if it was really taken away by a ghost, the situation would be even more serious, which means that the ghost has a very high intelligence level, and the strength of such a ghost is terrifying."
As she spoke, she pointed upward and said: "I think it is more likely to be a high-level ghost. The method of making the exit disappear is not something that ordinary monks can do."
Zhang Zhenqian took a breath.
He also had such a guess, so he tried his best to persuade everyone to unite.
Unfortunately, the persuasion failed.
"No matter what, the soul-fixing flower needs to be taken out. It should be enough with the help of fellow Taoist Lu. This flower has seven petals in total, and I only need three."
In order to prevent the other party from retreating, Zhang Zhenqian took the initiative to make concessions.
Lu Xiaoyi glanced at the rock wall at high altitude and said: "No problem, since I can't get out now, let's go get the Soul-fixing Flower first. But don't expect me to protect you. You can only take care of yourself when you are in danger." .”
…
The fourth floor of the underground cave.
Chen Lin's figure fell from high altitude, looking a little embarrassed.
I don't know what changes have occurred in this cave. The number of ghosts and ghosts has become very small, but every time they appear, they are very strange, completely different from Zhang Zhenqian's previous introduction.
In comparison, the traveling silk ones are considered ordinary.
He was unlucky and met several on the second and third floors.
The others were destroyed by him using the Soul-Destroying Finger and the Thunder God Sword, but at the end of the third floor, he encountered a ghost in a jar. It was very difficult to deal with. He tried his best to destroy it but was unable to eliminate it.
The other party kept pestering him, which made him exhausted.
"Hey, young man, don't run away, just follow me. That's great."
As soon as Chen Lin stood firm, a black jar appeared out of thin air, and a small, withered head emerged from the mouth of the jar to look at it, making an excited shout.
There is a copper coin stuck on the forehead of this head, which emits a twinkling light as the tone of voice fluctuates.
A mysterious force emanated from the copper coins, causing Chen Lin's body to fly towards the jar uncontrollably!
