Chapter 143: The Ghostly Desert

Seeing this, Xiao Lin's face relaxed slightly.

The reason why Xiao Lin listened to the monk surnamed Wang's long chatter was not because he had the leisure time, but because he was extremely afraid of the monk surnamed Wang's Fire-Splitting Pearl. Although he estimated that the probability that the monk surnamed Wang still had the Fire-Splitting Pearl was not high, it was not impossible.

Xiao Lin still remembered the miserable state of the strangely dressed woman. If the strangely dressed woman was replaced by himself, even if he could save his life by all means, he would inevitably be seriously injured. Naturally, he did not want to take this chance, so he acted as if he was moved.

In fact, it was to let the monk surnamed Wang relax his vigilance, and he controlled the black scale shuttle to attack him from behind, and it was indeed successful.

He happily collected the storage bag left by the two people, but the storage bag of the strangely dressed woman turned into ashes along with the Fire-Splitting Pearl, which made Xiao Lin's face full of regret.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin first dug out the fire scale fruit with stems and roots, put it in a jade box and put it in the storage bag, then found a rock, hid behind it, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate his breathing.

After this battle, although he had the Great Rejuvenation Pill to replenish his mana, his mana was also seriously depleted, especially the series of attacks that killed the cultivator surnamed Zhao at the end, which made his mana in his dantian only one tenth of it.

In his current state, if he rashly left the Yellow Wind Cave, if he met other cultivators on the road, they would definitely suspect that he had picked the purple spirit flower and would kill him. At that time, he would be in real danger with his mana seriously depleted.

So he chose to restore his mana to its peak state first, and on the other hand, he hid on one side to see if there were other cultivators hiding in the Yellow Wind Cave. Moreover, Xiao Lin had not yet finished searching the Yellow Wind Cave, so he would be unwilling to leave just like that.

This Yellow Wind Cave is one of the most likely places to have Purple Spirit Flowers recorded in the three-layer map of the ruined cave that Xiao Lin obtained. Now that he has come in, he will not be content with an incomplete search.

Three hours later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, felt the flowing mana in his body, and smiled. During the three hours of regulating his breath, his spiritual consciousness has been in a scattered state, and during this time, no other cultivators have entered this Yellow Wind Cave.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, this Yellow Wind Cave may only be known to the cultivator surnamed Zhao, the woman in strange clothes, and the cultivator surnamed Wang. He stood up and quickly flew into the cave. Although no other cultivators have come in for the time being, as time goes on, someone will definitely come in here.

As long as he was discovered, no matter whether he had picked the purple spirit flower or not, the other party would never let him go. In fact, if it were Xiao Lin himself, he would definitely attack the cultivators coming out of the Yellow Wind Cave. After all, the purple spirit flower was related to his own path of cultivation, and there was absolutely no reason to give up.

Xiao Lin once again summoned the Green Gold Shield and the Void Spirit Shield, and then held the Seven Blades in his hand and continued to search along the lake. The spiritual energy in the Yellow Wind Cave was indeed much richer than outside. Along the way, Xiao Lin saw a lot of Lingwu Grass and Qingyuan Grass and several other first-level spiritual herbs.

Qingyuan Grass is the main herb for refining a first-level spiritual pill of Gufu Dan, which can regulate internal injuries of internal organs. Although it is not cheap in the Immortal City, it is still more common than Yunling Pill. After all, the demand for this kind of healing spiritual pill by cultivators is relatively much less.

Xiao Lin naturally had no interest in refining, but continued to search directly. The first-level spiritual herbs had no appeal to Xiao Lin at the moment. The area of ​​the spiritual wood space was limited. In addition to the rejuvenation flower, which could be used to refine the Great Huiyuan Pill and continue to be planted, the rest of the first-level spiritual mist grass had been harvested by him long ago.

Xiao Lin frowned, and had searched along the lake for more than half, but still did not see the shadow of the purple spiritual flower, which made his face gloomy. If he could not pick the purple spiritual flower in this Yellow Wind Valley, the next location would be farther away, and there would probably be a lot of danger along the way.

Half an hour later, Xiao Lin returned to the entrance of the cave he came in with an ugly face. He searched the entire lakeside. In addition to the fire scale fruit he had obtained before, he did not find a second-level spiritual herb. It seems that there is no purple spiritual flower in this Yellow Wind Cave.

This made Xiao Lin feel a little disappointed. He came into the Yellow Wind Cave with great hope, but in the end he returned empty-handed. He was really unwilling to accept this. But after a little thought, he took a deep breath and his face gradually returned to calm.

The reason why the purple spirit flower is precious is that its number is extremely rare. If it is really so easy to pick, it would be strange. After thinking this through, Xiao Lin carefully entered the cave and flew out.

Soon, Xiao Lin returned to the Yellow Wind Valley. In addition to the whistling wind, there were no other cultivators in the Yellow Wind Valley. Xiao Lin looked up into the distance, with a firm expression on his face, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew away into the distance.

Senluo Lingtan is the second most likely place for the existence of purple spirit flowers recorded on the broken map of the third floor of the underground cave obtained by Xiao Lin. It is located in a remote corner in the north of the third floor of the underground cave, covering an area of ​​about a hundred miles. Xiao Lin did not want to come here at first. Although purple spirit flowers may exist in Senluo Lingtan, it is also one of the several dangerous places on the third floor of the underground cave.

After a long time, Xiao Lin looked at the dark wasteland in the distance, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. The wasteland in front of him was Senluo Lingtan. According to the records on the broken map, there was a spirit pond several feet in size in the center of Senluo Lingtan.

Within ten feet around the spirit pond, countless spirit flowers and grasses grew, and the edge of the spirit pond was also the most likely place for purple spirit flowers to grow. However, it was extremely difficult to enter the spirit pond, because there were a large number of ghosts living in the Senluo Ghost Desert outside the spirit pond.

According to rumors, these ghosts were the souls of the monks who fell in this cave, and were called Yinluo ghosts. This Yinluo ghost could not be considered a monster, so its strength could not be measured by a monster, but there was a brief introduction to this Yinluo ghost in the map Xiao Lin got.

The Yin Luo ghost has an icy attribute and is good at using the ghost claws. It is especially proficient in the transformation of reality and illusion. Once it penetrates the body, the three souls will be drawn out. No matter how high the cultivation is, the body will be destroyed. The only nemesis is the fire and thunder attribute spells, or the magic tools of these two attributes.

Since Xiao Lin embarked on the road of cultivation, he has not encountered a real ghost. He is also unwilling to contact such ghosts instinctively. After all, he has been scared by the old people in the village with a few ghost stories since he was a child.

But he did not get the purple spirit flower in the Yellow Wind Cave. At present, the closest to him is the Senluo Spirit Pond. Even if he is unwilling, he can only bite the bullet and go.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin took a deep breath, cast the Xuyuan Spirit Shield to protect his whole body, and then jumped towards the dark desert in front of him.

As soon as he entered the Ghost Desert, Xiao Lin felt a chill coming over him. Even with his physique as a cultivator, he felt uncomfortable. With a thought, the mana in his body spread out, forming a light green eggshell-shaped spiritual shield to protect his whole body, and the chill gradually dissipated.

Xiao Lin flew around while carefully paying attention to his surroundings. At the same time, his spiritual awareness spread out, covering the surroundings, and his nerves were also tense.

Xiao Lin didn't see a single tree along the way. The surroundings were covered with thick cold fog, and there was no grass under his feet. There was only dark soil that emitted bursts of rancid smell.

Moreover, the entire Ghost Desert was as silent as a dead place. This dead silence made Xiao Lin more cautious. At the same time, a light purple fist-sized fireball was burning in his palm, ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.

After going 20 to 30 miles deep into the Ghost Desert, Xiao Lin saw withered branches. These branches were charred, but in Xiao Lin's opinion, they were not caused by lightning strikes, because the branches were all rotten.

But they were not completely rotten, and there was a fishy smell in the coldness. In addition, in this large forest of withered branches, there was also cold fog, which shortened Xiao Lin's vision by half, and he could only see a few feet away.

Suddenly, Xiao Lin felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of his neck. He was shocked and instinctively rushed forward several feet. At the same time, he turned around and threw the lavender fireball in his hand.

"Sizzle." The fireball passed through a distance of several feet and hit a withered branch directly, then exploded. The scorching flames directly burned the withered branch clean, and also dispelled the coldness within a few feet.

But Xiao Lin's eyes swayed left and right, with a look of doubt on his face.

Just now, it seemed that something was approaching him, but he could not see anything as far as he could see. It was still dark and cold.

Xiao Lin took a deep breath and suddenly leaped towards the depths of the Senluo Ghost Desert at a very fast speed. At the same time, nine fist-sized lavender fireballs appeared around him. These nine fireballs were not fired by Xiao Lin.

Instead, he controlled them to rotate around him through his spiritual consciousness. In Xiao Lin's opinion, since the Yinluo ghosts were afraid of spells with fire and thunder attributes, he could at least prevent them from getting close by using fireballs to protect his body. In order to pass through the Senluo Ghost Desert as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to use the Great Perfection of Wind Controlling Technique.

The surroundings were still dead silent. Xiao Lin could only hear his own panting, but there was no other sound, which made him inexplicably agitated.

Suddenly, Xiao Lin stopped and his face turned ugly. It turned out that a corpse was lying a few feet in front of him. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it should be a casual cultivator. The clothes on his body were very complete, and even the bag on his waist had not been touched.

The reason why Xiao Lin was sure that it was a corpse was because the face was extremely pale and the eyes were wide open, as if he saw something extremely terrifying at the moment of death.

Xiao Lin walked forward slowly with a gloomy face. After walking a few feet, another corpse appeared in front of him. The death was exactly the same as the previous one. The face was pale, the eyes were wide open, and the face was full of fear.

Soon, there were as many as four or five corpses around Xiao Lin, which made Xiao Lin's face paler. These people were obviously a small team, but they were completely wiped out in this Senluo Ghost Desert.
