Chapter 85: Extreme Yin, Soul-Breaking Slope

Through communication with Chu Yi and comparing it with the map in the jade slip, Lin Zhangqing finally obtained his exact location.

Now he had to set off in the direction of the Wanzhu Forest. It just so happened that the closest place to here was the Jiyin Mountain, the production place of Golden Silk Lotus, one of the three main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Without a word, he set off straight for the destination. With Chu Yi watching from above, Lin Zhangqing was not afraid of anyone coming to ambush him, and his marching speed was still very fast.

Suddenly, he received a warning from Chu Yi that there was someone in the front left, also moving toward the Jiyin Mountain, not far from Lin Zhangqing, only seven or eight li away.

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and decided to ignore him. However, he first put on the Hidden Spirit mask and changed the color and style of his clothes.

He took out a mirror and looked at it. It was the appearance of an ordinary person with a slightly pale face, with no prominent features, a very ordinary appearance, the kind that wouldn't attract attention in a crowd.

This was exactly what Lin Zhangqing wanted. From now on, there was only Gao Deshuai in this Secret Realm. After tidying up, he continued to move toward the destination.

After moving forward for more than ten li, he received another warning from Chu Yi. Seven or eight li ahead, there was a group of thirty or forty Red-Tailed Monkeys. Lin Zhangqing didn't want to provoke them, so he adjusted his direction slightly.

That brother just now had already entered the territory of that group of Red-Tailed Monkeys, and a battle would soon break out. However, Lin Zhangqing had no interest in being the fisherman.

Now, collecting the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pill was the most important thing. He didn't know when he would find such an opportunity again, so he couldn't waste time.

This journey consumed more than three hours. By avoiding five waves of demon beasts and seven batches of cultivators through Chu Yi, he finally arrived at the Jiyin Mountain. He didn't dare to delay time and immediately began to search for Golden Silk Lotus, instructing Chu Yi to help search as well.

With his spiritual sense fully open, he kept searching within a range of 240 meters around his body, moving rapidly along the way, and finally discovered two mature Golden Silk Lotuses next to a fallen and withered big tree, with five half-grown seedlings beside them.

There was no hesitation; he collected them all, let Chu Yi watch the surroundings, and Lin Zhangqing transplanted these seven Golden Silk Lotuses quickly and professionally.

They were temporarily placed in the spirit plant bag, and would be transferred to the space in a unified manner later. Now he had to seize the time to find more Golden Silk Lotuses.

Slightly covering the traces of transplantation, Lin Zhangqing started again, sweeping and searching all the way. His luck was quite good, and he found another place with three mature ones and four seedlings. He didn't dare to waste time and started transplanting directly.

At this time, Chu Yi warned that someone was approaching the Jiyin Mountain rapidly. Lin Zhangqing let it continue to watch. It was impossible to give up this place just because someone came; at the very least, he had to search more than half of it before leaving.

He didn't waste time and continued to search. At this time, Chu Yi prompted that there was a Golden Silk Lotus about one li to the right front. Lin Zhangqing immediately rushed to the destination.

When he arrived at the place, he saw that there were seven mature Golden Silk Lotuses, and the number of seedlings reached nineteen.

He hurriedly released the Purple Crystal Scorpions, let them spread out around to protect himself, and then started transplanting. After working for two quarters of an hour, he finally finished everything and put them into the spirit plant bag.

With the harvest of so many Golden Silk Lotuses, it was basically enough to cultivate them continuously in the future, so he didn't intend to look for them anymore and prepared to rush to the next place.

It was a pity that Lin Zhangqing wanted to leave, but others didn't agree. Just after receiving Chu Yi's warning and wanting to avoid it, he was still discovered by a Heavenly Star Sword Sect cultivator. The person rushed straight toward Lin Zhangqing at high speed and soon blocked Lin Zhangqing's path.

Lin Zhangqing simply didn't leave and adjusted the Purple Crystal Scorpions to lurk in the direction of the person. After the person arrived in front of him, he said to the person: "This fellow Daoist of the Heavenly Star Sword Sect, no one has come to this place yet, and many Golden Silk Lotuses can still be found. Let's not waste each other's time, how about that?"

The person shook his head and said: "Leave the storage bag and spirit plant bag on your body, leave a dharma artifact for self-defense, and get out quickly!"

Lin Zhangqing sighed softly. It was truly hard to persuade a ghost who was looking for death with kind words!

With a thought, the Purple Crystal Scorpions launched an attack. The Heavenly Star Sword Sect cultivator issued two shrill screams in succession, then his whole body twitched violently, and soon he fell to the ground motionless. The Golden Thunder Sword in Lin Zhangqing's hand passed through his forehead with a "swish."

Actually, when the person blocked Lin Zhangqing just now, Lin Zhangqing intended not to make a move if he could avoid it, but it was a pity that the person still insisted on looking for death! He collected the storage bag and spirit plant bag of the person, and of course, the dharma artifact that fell to the ground, and then cremated the corpse with a fireball technique. After confirming that there was no one around and no omissions, he started to set off for the next destination.

The distances to the two places ahead were about the same. One was the Soul-Breaking Slope that produced Tianhun Grass, and the other was the Heavenly Fragrance Valley that produced Purple Heart Fruit. He thought for a moment and decided to go to the Soul-Breaking Slope to find Tianhun Grass first!

After all, as long as he found the Purple Heart Fruit tree, he could also cultivate a Purple Heart Fruit tree himself by cutting off a section of the root.

After deciding, he moved straight to the destination. Chu Yi had been providing warnings for Lin Zhangqing in the sky. Along the way, it took another two or three hours, and he still avoided demon beasts and cultivators, otherwise, it would have taken longer.

Just as he approached the Soul-Breaking Slope, the sky had already darkened.

If it were someone else, they might wait until tomorrow morning to enter and search, but others were afraid of the wandering ghosts and evil spirits here, but Lin Zhangqing was not afraid. His thunder-lightning dharma artifacts and spiritual artifacts were not a joke, especially since they were more damaging to soul bodies.

He summoned the Heavenly Thunder Shield and the Thunderwood Sword, and while the sky was not completely dark, he entered the Soul-Breaking Slope shrouded in fog.

As soon as he went in, his spiritual sense was fully open, and he searched for Tianhun Grass all the way. He also swept across groups of Yin energy, but as long as they didn't come to find trouble with him, Lin Zhangqing wouldn't provoke them either.

After searching for a while, he finally made a discovery: a Tianhun Grass, with two seedlings on the side, but an evil ghost in human form was actually entrenched beside the mature Tianhun Grass.

That evil ghost roared immediately when he saw Lin Zhangqing approaching, wanting to scare Lin Zhangqing away, but how could Lin Zhangqing be afraid of an evil ghost equivalent to the Qi Refining mid-to-late stage? He injected spirit energy into the Thunderwood Sword, let the Thunderwood Sword emit that kind of thunder-lightning aura, and then the wooden sword slashed out. The evil ghost turned into a gray-black Yin energy and rushed straight toward Lin Zhangqing's face, with very fast speed.

Just in time! With a thought, a thunder-lightning shield floated in front of Lin Zhangqing. The evil ghost wanted to avoid it after discovering the shield, but the shield appeared too suddenly, and it was too late. It hit the thunder-lightning shield directly and issued a shrill scream.

And the thunder-lightning shield issued a "zi-zi" sound. The evil ghost was melted by more than half, and then turned into a Yin energy wanting to escape outward, but how could Lin Zhangqing let it succeed?

Thunder light flashed on the Thunderwood Sword, and it slashed in the center of the Yin energy. After a more shrill scream, the Yin energy dissipated, and only a gray-black bead was left at the scene. Lin Zhangqing's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the Yin Soul Bead?

He carefully picked it up and observed it. He could feel a cold energy inside, which was exactly opposite to the energy attribute of thunder-lightning. He would put it away first! He found a jade box, put the bead in it, and put it away.

His spiritual sense was fully open to cover the surroundings, and then he began to carefully transplant these three Tianhun Grasses. Soon, the transplantation work was completed. After covering the traces of transplantation, he set off to continue searching for Tianhun Grass.
