Chapter 464 Relics
The mountain breeze blew slowly.
The branches and leaves rustled.
But it made the canyon even quieter.
Lan He stood there motionless, looking at the woman in palace dress in front of him in silence.
At this moment, he was even a little confused, and didn't know what to say for a while.
When they first met just now, he came up and cursed, thinking that he wanted to arouse the other party's anger, and it would be best to make people angry from the heart, and they would fight without saying a word.
This was a done deal, confirming their sins and successfully completing the task that Mr. Wei personally instructed.
No matter from which angle you look at it, you can't find any fault with him.
The result was completely beyond Lan He's expectations.
This young lady from Qiuyue Palace was so disrespectful that she didn't play according to his plan.
She gave money first, and then followed his advice without any backbone, which immediately disrupted the lines he had prepared in advance.
More importantly, this group of people actually turned around and left without a trace of stopping.
Instead of being sweet-mouthed and treacherous, being humble on the surface, and then turning around and killing in secret.
"Wait a minute!"
Lan He saw that the group was about to leave, and the boss behind didn't come over for some reason. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and stopped the people with a low shout.
"You..."
He fell into thought, considering what to say.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to say more, we understand, we all understand."
The woman in palace dress looked around, "You all have no eyesight, right? Take out all the valuables on you quickly, don't keep this gentleman waiting for a long time!"
Clatter!
Lan He had a blank expression and lowered his head slightly.
Looking at the dazzling pile of things in front of him.
Looking at the bag of chalcedony that was almost submerged.
Don't say it, facing such a scene, he didn't know what to do.
"You guys are making it difficult for me to deal with it."
Lan He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a puzzled expression on his face.
The woman in palace dress spoke softly, "Whatever you find difficult, we can change it immediately, until you feel comfortable and satisfied."
Lan He couldn't help but twitch his lips, "In my opinion, you should not be corrupted by wealth and power, but why is it like this when it comes to you?"
The woman lowered her eyes and bowed again, "I'll say something that may make you feel a little wrong. If wealth and power really cannot be corrupted, then what's the use of wealth and power for us."
At this point, she secretly glanced at the distance, "If power really cannot be bent, then you and... wouldn't it be in vain?"
"What you said makes some sense, but not much."
Suddenly, a gentle male voice sounded, mixed in the wind and quietly transmitted.
Then the ornaments dingdonged softly.
The woman in palace dress straightened her clothes and knelt down slowly with her slender body.
"Your Excellency is right. I have no reason in front of you."
"Because your reason is the greatest reason."
She put her hand on her forehead and touched it to the ground, her body tense and motionless.
Silently, the mountain wind rose again.
It was not the bleak coolness that blew.
It was filled with corrosive and burning breath.
Along with it came the increasingly clear and gentle voice.
"If I want to kill you, is it still the greatest reason in your eyes?"
The heart of the woman in palace dress was pounding, and a drop of crystal sweat flowed down her cheek, but it was evaporated before it hit the ground and disappeared without a trace.
She didn't dare to look up, "Your Excellency is a divine magician, and what you say is golden words. Naturally, I dare not disobey, nor can I question it."
Wei Tao stopped in front of her and looked back at Lan He who was standing solemnly with his hands down.
He suddenly laughed, "Elder Lan, what you said just now is right. It is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."
After a moment of silence, he continued, "So in Elder Lan's opinion, what should we do next?"
Lan He's mind was racing, and sweat began to break out on his back in an instant.
After a few breaths, he tried to calm his tone and said carefully, "In reply to your words, according to my subordinates, what we should do next depends on how sincere these spiritualists from Qiuyue Palace can be."
Wei Tao glanced at the pile of things in front of Lan He and nodded slowly, "It is a great virtue to correct mistakes as soon as you know them. I think her attitude of confession is quite good. Basically, she took the initiative to admit her mistakes, which can give them a chance to start a new life."
When these words came out, Lan He was slightly startled.
A confused and puzzled expression appeared on his face.
He hesitated for a moment before he dared to ask tentatively, "Please forgive my dull mind. I need your advice, should we send them to start a new life now?"
A few steps away, the woman in palace dress breathed a sigh of relief. She was stunned when she heard Lan He's question.
Even her body began to tremble violently. If she hadn't been holding herself up, she would have collapsed to the ground immediately.
There were also sobbing and low sobs from other Qiuyue Palace spiritualists.
It sounded fearful, desperate, miserable and helpless.
Wei Tao did not respond.
He carefully observed the pile of treasures, and didn't care about things like the Jade Marrow Spirit Plate. He just focused his eyes on two of the brocade bags.
After opening the brocade bags, he frowned slightly, and seemed a little absent-minded.
He didn't realize that the atmosphere in the field had become stagnant.
Not to mention that everyone was trembling with fear, waiting for his answer.
Time passed by little by little.
Silently, the corrosive and scorching breath came again.
It enveloped a large area of the canyon, baking everyone so hard that it was difficult to breathe.
Sweat flowed and soaked all the clothes.
Then it was quickly dried, turned into steam and rose slowly, and then disappeared without a trace.
So wet and dry, dry and wet again.
Not long after, everyone, including Lan He, looked bleak and extremely weak.
Several Qiuyue Palace disciples with poor cultivation had even fainted and were on the verge of life and death.
Swish...
Suddenly a cool breeze came.
It blew away all the corrosive and scorching breath.
Another thunder sounded and exploded above the canyon.
Then the wind quickly grew stronger, attracting dark clouds in the mountains, which were thick and low to the naked eye.
It brought a lot of water mist and moisture.
And more and more spiritual meaning.
Pah! ! !
A bean-sized raindrop fell from the sky.
Then heavy rain poured down, covering a large area of canyon forests.
All kinds of vegetation stretched their bodies and tried their best to absorb the sudden moisture and spiritual energy.
The branches and leaves that were almost dying under the erosion of the scorching breath became lush and green.
The spiritual rain fell, bringing vitality.
It also pulled the disciples of Qiuyue Palace back from the brink of life and death.
The woman in palace dress secretly exhaled a breath of turbid air and tried her best to calm her breathing, "Thank you for your help, so that we can avoid death."
Pah!
A brocade bag fell in front of her.
"What's your name?"
Wei Tao asked in a gentle tone.
"My name is Yuelong, and I am the disciple of Qiuyue Palace Master."
"Qiuyue Palace, I have seen a description in intelligence materials. It means spring flowers and autumn moons, and most of its spiritualists are named after flowers and moons. It is a well-known force."
"But this is not the point. I am not interested in your identity.
What really makes me curious is the spiritual arts you practice and the thing I just found."
Wei Tao nodded, and a ball of soft, golden soil appeared in his palm. "This is what I found in the brocade bag. What is its name and what is its use?
In addition, you can carry such soil and seeds with you. Are you a spiritual plant master?"
The woman in palace dress looked up and quickly lowered her head.
"To answer your question, I am indeed a spiritual plant master, and I am good at the secret art of gathering and consolidating spirits.
The spiritual soil in your hand is the secret art of gathering and consolidating spirits, which condenses more spiritual energy in a specific soil, so that it can be used to plant spiritual plants that require high spiritual power."
"Spirit gathering, soul consolidation."
Wei Tao closed his eyes, and the spiritual soil in his palm disappeared quietly.
He was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "I want to learn these two spiritual arts, can you teach me?"
The woman in palace dress secretly exhaled a turbid breath.
The heartstrings that were tense to the extreme suddenly relaxed.
At this moment, when she spoke again, she even cried with joy, "I am willing to communicate with you about spiritual arts, it is a great honor for me."
"That's it, we can talk while walking next."
Wei Tao nodded, and glanced at Lan He next to him, "For the tracking of other spiritual masters, Elder Lan should not relax either. What we want is to grasp both hands, and both hands must be strong."
………………
……………………
Boom! ! !
The burning corrosive breath descended.
It enveloped a large area of dense forest in an instant.
Several spiritualists who were walking in it disappeared without any resistance.
It even caused a forest fire, and the fallen leaves and branches burned fiercely, reflecting the red sky under the night sky.
Then there was thunder and heavy rain.
All the fires were extinguished, leaving only a little ashes to blend into the soil, becoming a good fertilizer for other vegetation to thrive.
A little further away.
Yue Long held her breath and waited silently.
Although it was not the first time she had seen such a scene, she was still trembling with fear, and her mind was almost blank because of fear.
In the past few days, she followed behind and wandered in the mountains.
Watching him and the elder Lan, they accurately found other spiritualists again and again, and then persuaded them to leave as soon as possible.
And after the elder Lan spoke sweetly, basically every persuasion ended in failure.
Then there was almost no scene of spiritual arts confrontation, and teams of spiritualists disappeared without a trace.
As for where they went and what fate they would face, she was no longer curious about it after being beaten and scolded by other spiritualists for helping to persuade them. She could only express understanding and respect.
The wind gradually died down and the spiritual rain stopped.
A figure came up silently.
"My lord."
Yue Long suddenly came back to his senses, immediately collected his thoughts, and bowed.
"Spirit Gathering Technique, I practiced it according to your instructions, but I feel something is wrong."
Wei Tao thought slowly and said, "Can you help me see what went wrong, or should it be like this."
"Is there a problem with the Spirit Gathering Technique?"
Yuelong's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously muttered to herself, "It shouldn't be, I've always followed..."
She didn't finish her words.
She became dazed without any warning.
Even her eyes were a little absent-minded.
Yuelong opened her mouth slightly, staring at the golden halo in front of her, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
But the next moment, something even more surprising happened.
Swish!
A second halo appeared silently above the pale golden halo.
Then the third, the fourth...
In the end, there were nine haloes superimposed on each other, looking like a cylinder suspended in the void.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Wei Tao waved his hand, and the nine haloes disappeared together.
"I practiced the art of gathering spirits, but ended up with a bunch of spirit gathering rings. It's really confusing.
Of course, this is not the point. What really puzzles me is that I used the art of gathering spirits to absorb and introduce spiritual energy. I was planting trees well, but after practicing it deeply and turning it into a spirit gathering ring, I couldn't use it to plant spirit trees.
Such an unexpected development, isn't it a waste of my hard work?"
Yuelong listened silently, and only came back to his senses from his absent-minded state at this time.
"This, this is the spirit-attracting divine ring..."
"What the adults just showed is very likely a divine art that was lost in the Great Destruction."
She tried to calm her surging emotions, and even her voice trembled when she spoke again.
Is this the talent for becoming a divine magician! ?
Just learning some of Qiuyue Palace's spirit gathering techniques, he was able to deduce another kind of divine art that had long been lost! ?
The key is how long it has been.
From the time she started teaching to the formation of the spirit-attracting divine ring, it was less than two days at most.
This person was able to create a cylinder with nine rings in one breath, and threw the cylinder at her face.
No wonder the palace master once lamented that the gap between people was sometimes so big that even the feeling of despair could not arise, and they were almost two completely different life forms.
"Soul-drawing divine ring, a divine art?"
Wei Tao closed his eyes and immediately opened the status bar interface.
Name: Soul-gathering Art.
Progress: 300%.
Status: Breaking the limit by 20 stages.
Description: Mutually confirmed with the Qi-drawing and Body-tempering Method, this technique has been greatly evolved and improved.
He was sure that she must have seen it wrong.
After all, the status bar would not lie. Since the name was still the Soul-gathering Art, it must be the Soul-gathering Art.
At most, it was the Soul-gathering Art after alienation and improvement.
But right or wrong.
These were not what he really cared about.
As long as he could find a way to open these Soul-gathering Rings correctly so that he could continue to use them in planting trees, everything else was not so important.
Yue Long fell into deep thought, "Regarding the use of the Soul-Attracting Ring, I have only seen a few words in the palace books, and I can only understand a little bit.
But if you only need to use it to plant spirit trees, there is a way to try it."
The days and nights rotated, and time passed quietly.
It was another dark and windy night.
Wei Tao walked alone in the mountains with a few people.
After a period of search and trial, the whole mountains seemed to become much quieter.
Except for the spiritualists who entered the ruins early and a few fish that escaped the net, most of the greedy people had been pulled into the cave heaven by him to be used as manure to plant trees.
With the nourishment of the Soul-Attracting Ring, which is stronger than six sections, the seedling of the God Tree finally got rid of the predicament and began to grow and develop at a faster speed.
The ruins also changed their appearance.
Not only did the area expand again, but the buildings inside became more and more real, no longer the illusory appearance on the verge of collapse at the beginning.
More importantly, with the growth and development of the seedling of the sacred tree, and with the appearance of the hometown town in his memory, his connection with this cave heaven domain has become closer and closer.
Just like the one he opened up through his own practice, from the sky to the ground, and everything inside, almost all of them are marked with his unique spiritual imprint.
In this process, he has explored in depth more than once, using various methods to find the backup plan left by "Zhang Ji" in the ruins.
But every time he got nothing.
Especially with the accelerated development of the seedling of the sacred tree, the roots that formed the Jialan sacred pattern spread all over the ground, and the redbud vines stretched out from the crown and sank upward to explore the bloody sky, which confirmed that the divine magician really disappeared, without even a trace of mark left.
There is no love without reason in the world.
There is also no hatred without reason.
If you want to get something, you must pay accordingly.
So, Wei Tao thought about it for a long time and didn't understand what the purpose of the divine magician was.
Only when there is no relationship, will the gift be a great gift to the Cave Heaven Realm.
The sound of water dingdong, flowing happily.
Wei Tao stopped beside a mountain spring.
He casually threw a piece of spiritual soil on the stone, and then looked in the direction of the downstream of the spring.
In the far distance, the end of the sight.
Under the dim moonlight, there stands a village with a not small area.
In the deep mountains and old forests, a deserted village suddenly appears.
There is also spiritual mist rising, covering the streets and houses, which looks half-hidden and looming.
"This feeling is actually possible to be the remains of a divine magician."
"The divine magician's cave heaven performance basically corresponds to the level of the immortal who ascended to heaven."
"Then I am a little curious now. I also have a cave heaven domain in my hometown town. Can I be considered a genuine immortal cultivator?"
"Think further, if I face a divine magician in good condition, what kind of confrontation will it be?"
Wei Tao retracted his gaze and bent down to scoop up a handful of spring water.
Sensing the rich spiritual power contained in it, his heart suddenly moved.
The corrosive and burning breath quietly appeared.
The nine-wheeled spirit gathering ring sank into the water silently.
The next moment, the dingdong sound of water disappeared.
The mountain spring was cut off for a moment, and then it returned to normal and continued to flow downstream.
Time passed bit by bit.
Wei Tao's eyes were half open and half closed, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a rock beside the spring.
I don't know how long it will be.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the darkness on one side.
There, a person appeared at some point.
The man wore a bamboo hat and was covered in a black robe. His voice was a little ethereal, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"How dare you touch my spring water, intercept and absorb the spiritual power in it, and almost ruin my plan!"
Wei Tao frowned slightly, "The spring water is in the mountain, it is not anyone's private property. How dare you say that this is your spring water, you really committed the great sin of greed."
