Chapter 289 Return to the Southern Wilderness
Wan Jin and He Wuya had chased for hundreds of miles, but still didn't see anyone, which made them wonder.
"Could that person have found a place to hide?" Wan Jin's face was a little ugly, and he secretly sighed in his heart that he was unlucky. Why did he have to do such a job?
If we continue to chase him without thinking, when will it end?
"If the other party is a Jindan cultivator, his escape speed may not be slower than ours? We are really confused in our pursuit, and we don't even know what realm the other party is in. If we continue to chase him like this, I guess there will be no results in the end."
"Yes, in this endless primeval forest, even if the other party finds a place to hide, can we search it inch by inch?" Wan Jin said depressedly.
"How about this, let's chase for another thousand miles. If we still don't find that person, we will go back and report." After thinking about it, He Wuya said.
Hearing this, Wan Jin naturally agreed with both hands. According to his original intention, he wanted to go back immediately.
The two were about to speed up their escape again and go all out to chase, when suddenly a thick black light appeared in the sky. Seeing this black light, the two of them immediately turned pale.
The two saw at a glance that this escape light was only possible for a Yuanying old monster, and within this radius of ten thousand miles, it seemed that only their Uncle Qishan and the poisonous dragon could be there.
Needless to say, this thick black escape light would never be Uncle Qishan, and the result was obvious.
"Hehe, old man Qishan, I didn't kill you personally, but I met your two disciples, so just consider it as a little interest for me first."
As the words were spoken, a black light fell from the sky and shot towards the two.
Wan Jin and He Wuya looked at each other and saw the desperate expression on each other's face. Without thinking, the two separated in two directions and flew away with all their strength.
I just hope that one of them can buy some time for the other to escape the murder of the poisonous dragon.
Although they also know that this hope is very slim.
"Ah~~" He Wuya had just flown out for hundreds of feet when he heard Wan Jin's screams from afar. He immediately felt his heart and soul shattered, and he was so scared that his soul was about to fly away. The magic power in his body was madly poured into his magic weapon.
At the same time, he hoped that the poisonous dragon would show mercy and not take his life away.
Obviously, Hei Lin had no such mercy. After the poisonous dragon black flame spear caught up with Wan Jin, he was almost powerless to resist and was pierced through the chest by the poisonous dragon black flame spear. Even his soul was burned by the black flame and turned into ashes.
The poisonous dragon black flame spear did not stop at all, turned in a direction, and then turned into a black light and flew towards He Wuya.
When he felt the cold breath coming from behind him, a look of determination flashed on He Wuya's pale face. He suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out a yellowish golden pill, which swelled against the wind and grew to the size of a basin.
Then he whistled and shot at the poisonous dragon black flame spear.
A yellowish-brown spiritual light suddenly burst out, covering an area of several dozen feet. The Poison Dragon Black Flame Spear was actually blocked by the explosive force and stayed in the air, floating unsteadily.
"Huh?" A surprised voice came from a distance: "You actually chose to self-destruct your golden elixir to fight for a glimmer of life for yourself. You are also a ruthless person. I will spare your life for the time being if I chase that person. Anyway, without the golden elixir, you are also a useless person, and it is even worse than death, haha!"
A voice came from the distant sky, and the Poison Dragon Black Flame Spear slightly turned its direction, then turned into a black light, and followed Hei Lin closely.
Thousands of feet away, He Wuya stood in the air with a dejected face. Without the golden elixir, he was destined to have no achievements in this life. Not only that, in a few days, his realm would fall to the foundation-building stage, and he would even be inferior to the average foundation-building cultivator.
Most of the cultivation of a golden elixir cultivator is concentrated in the golden elixir. Without the golden elixir, he is indeed a useless person as Hei Lin said.
With a light sigh, He Wuya drove the magic weapon and flew towards the direction of Ziri Immortal City in a lonely manner.
......
More than a month later, Xiao Lin looked at the huge immortal city in front of him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"It is indeed the Nanhuang Immortal City. It seems that the map purchased from Sihaiju is indeed useful." Xiao Lin muttered to himself, and then pressed the escape light. After landing, he had turned into a black-faced strong man in his forties.
Although Xiao Lin changed his appearance through the illusion mask, he did not hide his cultivation. Therefore, after sensing his foundation-building cultivation, the city guards immediately respectfully let Xiao Lin into the city.
Xiao Lin entered the Nanhuang Immortal City and went straight to the north of the city. Soon he came to a three-story attic.
Looking at the three words [Bai Fu Ju] on it, Xiao Lin smiled. He entered the attic, came to the counter, rented a high-level cave for ten days, and then came to the mountain behind under the guidance of the waiter.
The waiter took Xiao Lin to a remote canyon. The canyon was not big, only a few acres in size. A wooden house was built near the bottom of the canyon. This wooden house was the entrance to the cave.
After sending the waiter away, Xiao Lin took out a token, opened the wooden house, and walked in. As Xiao Lin disappeared into the wooden house, the original small canyon also disappeared, replaced by a lush bamboo forest.
After passing through a corridor of several dozen meters, Xiao Lin came to a cave. This high-level cave had three secret rooms, one for rest, one for meditation and cultivation, and another for alchemy, which was actually connected to a ground fire.
The price was also a little higher than the high-level cave that Xiao Lin rented last time, but this little bit of spiritual stone was nothing to Xiao Lin.
After entering the cave, Xiao Lin climbed onto the bed without saying a word, covered himself with a clean and fresh quilt, and fell asleep.
The next day, it was not until almost noon that Xiao Lin woke up from his sleep. The mental fatigue brought by many days of running around was swept away. He got out of bed in high spirits and came to the practice room.
Sitting upright on the futon, Xiao Lin supported his chin with his hand, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
After changing the direction of escape, he roughly identified the location of Nanhuang Xiancheng based on the map purchased from Sihaiju, and then headed straight for Nanhuang Xiancheng.
Xiao Lin originally planned to return to Dancao Mountain, but after getting rid of the Yuanying ancestor's spiritual lock, he chose to change his escape route in order to prevent the Yuanying ancestor from catching up with him.
After all, he knew very well that with the escape speed of the Yuanying cultivator, even if he practiced the secret art of burning, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Yuanying cultivator.
And once he was within a hundred miles of him, he would be locked by his spiritual sense again. Xiao Lin was almost certain that he would never escape.
Only by changing the escape route and making the Yuanying cultivator unable to figure out his specific direction could he ensure that he would not be approached by him within a hundred miles, so he chose the direction of Nanhuang Xiancheng.
First, he was familiar with Nanhuang Xiancheng, which was conducive to hiding. Second, Nanhuang Xiancheng was the territory of Guxuan Sect. Once the transformed demon cultivator entered the territory of Guxuan Sect, the Yuanying ancestors of Guxuan Sect would not sit idly by.
Xiao Lin had thought about taking a detour to Nanhuang Xiancheng and then returning to Dancao Mountain, but he was not sure whether the transformed demon cultivator was still searching for him.
The other party was already familiar with his breath. Once he was within a hundred miles, he would most likely lock onto him again with his spiritual sense.
However, Xiao Lin did not plan to practice in seclusion in Nanhuang Xiancheng at first. There was no guarantee that the Yuanying cultivator would not pass by here. Once he arrived here, Xiao Lin believed that the Yuanying cultivator would definitely release his spiritual sense to search for him.
Then he would really be unable to escape.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin showed a worried expression on his face. He wanted to return to Dancao Mountain, but he was worried about running into the Yuanying cultivator on the way. If he stayed in Nanhuang Xiancheng, there was no guarantee that the other party would not pass by here.
So he began to struggle and was hesitant to make up his mind.
Then Xiao Lin thought of the green light that illuminated him in Ziri Immortal City. The green light actually echoed the formula of the first chapter of Bu Tian Jing in his body, and Xiao Lin was almost certain that the old Yuanying monster was coming for him.
And it was very likely related to the statues that he, Tao Ling, and Xiao Yishao found in the cracks in the mountains. The other party was deliberately trying to catch him. Could it be that there was something on him that could be of great help to Yuanying cultivators?
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin couldn't figure it out. In the end, he simply gave up thinking about it, took out a Shuiling Pill from his storage bag, put it in his mouth, and began to practice.
In the next few days, Xiao Lin stayed at home and practiced in the cave, although Xiao Lin was still a little uneasy, worried that the Yuanying ancestor would chase him to Nanhuang Immortal City.
However, after thinking for a few days, he decided not to leave Nanhuang Xiancheng for the time being, and he used the Illusion Mask to cover up his own breath, although he also believed that the effect of the Illusion Mask to cover up his breath would probably be useless even when facing a Jindan cultivator, let alone a Yuanying cultivator.
Xiao Lin used the Illusion Mask to cover up his breath, more as a psychological comfort.
Xiao Lin renewed his lease for another three years, and then completely closed himself off in the cave. In addition to taking the Water Spirit Pill to practice the Mysterious Qi Cold Flame Art every day, he spent the rest of his time comprehending the Ghost Hiding Secret Art and the Burning Magic Secret Art.
Time passed quietly during Xiao Lin's retreat, and soon three years had passed.
One day, Xiao Lin opened his eyes from his meditation, and felt the majestic mana rolling like thunder in his body. Xiao Lin showed a satisfied smile on his face. After three years of retreat, his Mysterious Qi Cold Flame Art finally entered the fifth level, completing the fifth mana tempering.
As long as he completes one more mana tempering, he can start trying to return to the origin for the second time. Once the return to the origin is successful, he can go one step further and enter the late stage of foundation building.
During these three years, what made Xiao Lin most happy was that he finally understood the practice method of the ghost hiding secret technique, and now he can perform this secret technique.
