Chapter 14 Strange Little Tree
Two days passed in a flash.
Xiao Lin looked at the Mu Yuan Gong beside him with a thoughtful expression. According to the Mu Yuan Gong, if you want to control the weapon, you must have the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, it only mentioned one sentence, and there was no method of practicing the control weapon, which made him very depressed.
In this case, even if he could go further and cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he could only walk to Wuyin Xiancheng. The journey of tens of thousands of miles is in the Tianlu Mountains. The dangers along the way can be imagined.
From another book, Xiao Lin knew that in the depths of the Tianlu Mountains, after going deep into the Tianlu Mountains, there would often be monsters. Although these monsters were not high in rank because they were still on the periphery of the Tianlu Mountains, that was relatively speaking. They were very deadly to a Qi Refining rookie like him.
The only thing that comforted Xiao Lin was that the basic spells recorded in the Mu Yuan Gong [Wood Thorn Technique] [Wood Spirit Shield] could be learned as long as they cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining, which would give him more self-defense means.
With a sigh, he took out the jade box from his arms and opened it. He pinched the seeds with his fingers and brought them to his face.
Just now, he deliberately compared the jade box containing the seeds with the jade box containing the Lingwu grass, and was surprised to find that the two seemed to be very different. The box containing the seeds was obviously not real jade. Not only was there a faint colored halo inside, but it was warm to the touch, while the jade box containing the Lingwu grass was slightly cool to the touch.
"What on earth are you?" Xiao Lin took the seeds, thought about it, and suddenly threw the seeds into his mouth, and then bit them hard, as if biting on a piece of iron, which made Xiao Lin's teeth hurt.
And there was a faint smell of grass and wood after entering the mouth, but after turning it over and over in the mouth for a long time, there was still no change.
A loud "boom" suddenly came from outside, followed by the entire cave shaking violently, which made the seeds in Xiao Lin's mouth slide directly into his throat, which scared Xiao Lin a lot.
He hurriedly grabbed his throat, trying to spit out the seed, but what made him speechless was that the acid water he vomited came out, but the seed seemed to disappear, and he couldn't spit it out no matter what.
After working hard for a long time, Xiao Lin gave up completely. In his opinion, the seed was impervious to water and fire, and it must not be an ordinary item. Even if he swallowed it into his stomach, he would definitely be able to excrete it later. But the thought of picking the seed out of the excrement was a bit disgusting.
Xiao Lin was very curious about what the vibration just now was. He got up and went to the entrance of the cave, pulled away the vines outside, and looked around. After looking for a long time, he found nothing. He looked at the young boy again. The man was lying on his back on the ground, his face was already pale, and he looked like he was dead.
The reason why Xiao Lin did not bury the young boy as agreed was that he was worried that the young boy had a trick up his sleeve. If it was bad for him, he would not have the slightest resistance. Now three days have passed, and looking at the young boy's face, it is obvious that he is no longer alive.
Xiao Lin flew down the cave and looked around, but there was still no doubt. This made Xiao Lin a little doubtful. Was the vibration just a normal earthquake?
Shaking his head, Xiao Lin came to the open space on the side, dug a big hole with a thicker branch, and then came to the young boy. He saw that the young boy was still staring with his eyes, with an expression of death.
Xiao Lin sighed, and then went to drag the body, but when his hand just touched the young boy's shoulder, a green light suddenly flashed and rushed into his body through Xiao Lin's arm.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin screamed, covered his head and fell straight down.
"Boom." Xiao Lin felt as if his brain was rolling with thunder, but then he found himself in a strange place. In front of him was a strange land of only about ten square meters. Ten square meters around, it was pitch black. Xiao Lin came to the edge with some strangeness and reached out to touch it gently.
"Eh" Xiao Lin couldn't help but let out a surprised sound. In front of him, there was a shield that separated this ten square meters of land from the darkness outside.
"What is this place?" Xiao Lin looked around curiously. Suddenly, he saw a green plant growing in the middle of this ten square meters of land. This plant was very strange. It only had a half-foot long straight branch. At the top of the branch, there was an oval leaf. The branch was like jade, crystal clear, and the leaves were green. There was a crystal dew on the leaf.
"What... what is this place? What did you do to me?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Xiao Lin was so scared that he almost jumped up, but then a murderous look flashed across his face.
"I buried the body for you, and you actually want to harm me?" Hearing the voice, Xiao Lin knew that the owner of the voice was the young boy. He had been on guard against this trick, so he deliberately delayed for three days to bury his body, but he didn't expect to be tricked.
Xiao Lin saw a fist-sized ball of green light floating at the edge of the field, trembling and terrified.
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly looked down at himself. He found that his body and limbs were intact, and he was relieved.
"This... can't be blamed on me. I used the forbidden technique that damaged my essence, and at the cost of my life span, I forced the primary spell Wood Thorn Rain to be cast. My body collapsed. Only by finding a complete body and taking over a new body can I continue to practice and achieve the great path."
"So you want to take over my body?" Xiao Lin was extremely angry. He had been extremely careful, but he still missed a step. If he hadn't come to this strange place, he might not be himself now.
"The world of cultivation is originally the law of the jungle. Low-level cultivators are used as wedding clothes by high-level cultivators. This is a very common thing. Now that we are all trapped here, we should stop fighting and think of a way out."
"Go out? I'll kill you first." Xiao Lin roared, and used his Qinggong to pounce on the ball of light. The magic power cultivated by the Dry Water Sutra was poured into his fist, making his fist flash with green light.
The light ball was obviously startled, and after a tremor, it flew to the side, but for some reason, the light ball kept dodging Xiao Lin's fist around the edge of the small piece of land, and did not dare to go inside.
After chasing the light ball for half an hour, Xiao Lin stopped. The young boy was now just a spirit body, that is, the initial condensation of the cultivator's soul, invisible and intangible, and Xiao Lin could not catch up at all. In the process of chasing, Xiao Lin also found that the light ball seemed to be very afraid of the sapling in the middle of the small piece of land, and never dared to get close.
"As long as you let me out, I will not only tell you a few spells passed down by my parents, but also give you all the materials and spirit stones that my parents left behind and I hid in the Wuyin Fairy City. I only ask you to help me find a suitable body for me to take over and be reborn."
"Humph, you still want to deceive me, dream on." Xiao Lin knew that he could not do anything to the light ball, so he simply sat cross-legged next to the sapling and adjusted his breathing.
Xiao Lin was also very curious. Where exactly was the place in front of him? How did he come here with the young boy's soul? And it seemed that he was transmitted in his body.
"As long as you promise to let me go, I will give you the recipe for refining the Zhuo Ling Dan left by my parents. You should know that this recipe was accidentally obtained by my parents from a relic. It was for this recipe that they lost their lives. The reason why I was looking for Lingwu grass in Shuiyun Valley was because Lingwu grass was the main ingredient for refining Zhuo Ling Dan. The other auxiliary herbs are not difficult to find. Once the Zhuo Ling Dan is refined, it can make our Qi Refining cultivators advance by leaps and bounds. Even stepping into the peak of Qi Refining is not impossible."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin just opened his eyes and looked at the light ball coldly, and then closed them again. He was fooled once, even if the young boy brought him a fairy weapon, he would not believe it.
Two hours later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes. The consumption of chasing the light ball before was completely restored. He looked at the sapling in front of him and fell into deep thought.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the leaves of the sapling trembled slightly, and the dew on the leaves rolled a few times, but what surprised Xiao Lin was that no matter how it rolled, the dew was always on the leaves, as if there was some attraction sucking it.
Seeing the leaves tremble slightly, Xiao Lin didn't feel anything unusual, but the frightened voice of the young boy came from the side: "I will tell you the location of my parents' treasure now. The map is in the interlayer of the last page of the Mu Yuan Gong I practiced. I only ask you to let me out, and I can give you anything."
As if he saw something that made the young boy extremely scared, he told Xiao Lin all his secrets without waiting for Xiao Lin to react.
Xiao Lin showed a touch of surprise on his face. He looked at the sapling, then looked at the light ball, and his face was full of doubts, but he still didn't react, just looked at the sapling with interest.
Not long after, the young boy found that no matter how he tempted Xiao Lin, the other party was unmoved, and then began to beg bitterly, but Xiao Lin remained indifferent.
After another half day, Xiao Lin saw the small leaf tremble again, and then the soul light ball of the young boy flashed with green light, and then dimmed a lot. In this half day, the light ball has shrunk by more than one third, and the voice of begging for him is also weak, and it seems that it will be interrupted at any time.
Xiao Lin showed a trace of realization on his face. He finally understood that this sapling seemed to be able to devour the soul of the young boy. No wonder the young boy has been hiding in fear and dared not to go in.
After thinking this through, Xiao Lin no longer paid attention to the young boy who begged desperately, but began to think about how to get out.
This space is not big, and the sapling does not seem to have any effect on him, but the problem is that he does not want to stay here all the time.
