Chapter 480 Lake Bottom Lair
"Not good, Zou Jingyang is proficient in Yimu Lei Guang Shuo and is good at wood-attributed Lei escape. We have been fighting with the two demon monks before. It is hard to guarantee that he will not sneak into the Dragon Island and sweep away all the treasures." Ji Dongliu suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but exclaimed.
His words immediately reminded Xiao Lin and others, and they couldn't help but change their colors. Then they greeted each other and turned into four escape lights, shooting towards the Dragon Island.
After two cups of tea, Xiao Lin and others came to the top of the Dragon Island. As soon as they flew over the Dragon Island, Xiao Lin and others' faces turned ugly.
On the lake below, a corpse was floating, with its face up to the sky, its face pale, and its eyes staring, as if it was dying.
This person was Shen Feichen who was recuperating on the Dragon Island.
Shen Feichen did not die in the mouth of the Mirage Double Winged Dragon, nor did he fall in the fight with the two Six Dao Kui Demon Palace demon cultivators. Instead, he died on the Demon Dragon Island. It must be said that this was really a disaster for this person, which made people sigh.
Xiao Lin and others hurriedly pressed the escape light and landed on the lake. Xiao Lin casually threw a millstone-sized fireball at Shen Feichen's body, burning his body to ashes.
After Xiao Lin thought for a while, the star ring on his hand flashed, and a formation flag and several formation plates appeared in his hand. Xiao Lin muttered something in his mouth. After a while, he shook his hand and waved it. Several formation flags and chessboards went in all directions, and soon disappeared one after another.
At this time, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, looked at the people with doubts on their faces, and said: "In my opinion, there is a high probability that someone has entered the lair of the Mirage Double Winged Dragon, so I set up the Five Elements Locking Demon Formation. In this way, as long as the person who killed Fellow Daoist Shen is still under the lake, it will be difficult for us to escape."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is still thoughtful." Ji Dongliu understood it after a slight turn of mind. In his opinion, with Xiao Lin's means and combat power to kill the two demon cultivators, it seems unnecessary to have any tricks with him and the others.
After doing all this, a spiritual shield appeared on each of the four people to protect their whole body, and then they sacrificed a defensive magic weapon and sank into the lake.
Under the lake, it was pitch black. With the four people's Jindan stage, the magic power injected into their eyes could only see a distance of several feet.
What surprised the four people was that the lake was extremely deep. After diving for hundreds of feet, they finally reached the bottom of the lake. The three of them did not know the location of the nest of the Mirage Double-winged Dragon. Even the treasures in the nest of the Mirage Double-winged Dragon were only heard from Zou Jingyang, but they had never seen them in person.
Fortunately, the area of the lake was not large. After turning around for a while, they found a huge dark cave in a stone forest. After looking at each other, Xiao Lin pointed to a Qingluan Ice Sword beside him, and the Qingluan Ice Sword immediately turned into a dark green spiritual light and shot into the dark cave.
After diving dozens of feet deep, they found that the location of the cave began to bend. After entering another hundred feet, they suddenly felt that the terrain suddenly went up. After dozens of feet, they actually walked out of the water and came to the belly of a mountain.
The belly of the mountain is very colorful, with colorful ice crystals everywhere. These ice crystals are just some very ordinary jades. For ordinary mortals, they are precious jewelry materials, but for cultivators like Xiao Lin, they are no different from ordinary stones.
"Soul-reading grass? It's really soul-reading grass?" Looking at the side of the cave, near the rock wall, there are more than a dozen lush green grasses flashing with green light, and Ji Dongliu's face is full of excitement.
Xiao Lin also saw these lush green grasses. The whole body of the soul-reading grass is like a translucent jade, with a straight main stem. On the main stem, a tender leaf grows every inch.
According to rumors, this Soul-Reading Grass is born from the gathering of soul fragments scattered between heaven and earth. Every hundred years, it will have an extra leaf. Among the dozen Soul-Reading Grasses, only one has eight leaves, seven have seven leaves, and the remaining ten or so have only grown between two and five leaves. It can be seen at a glance that they are all in the seedling stage of Soul-Reading Grass.
Soul-Reading Grass can be used to refine the top-level Soul-Condensing Pill among the third-level elixirs. The greatest effect of the Soul-Condensing Pill for cultivators is that it can temper their own souls and increase the success rate by at least 20% when breaking through bottlenecks. However, this success rate is only effective for cultivators in the Golden Core Stage.
If a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage takes the Soul-Condensing Pill, he will be unable to be replenished, which will cause his soul to be turbulent and his soul to be unstable. In this case, he is very likely to go astray. As for cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage, this Soul-Condensing Pill has no effect on their huge souls, and naturally cannot increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.
For cultivators in the Jindan stage, there are three major bottlenecks in the process of cultivation: the middle, late and great perfection. For cultivators in the early Jindan stage, the Soul Condensing Pill has a 20% success rate. And in the middle Jindan stage, in the process of breaking through the late Jindan stage, if the Soul Condensing Pill is taken, the success rate can be increased by at least 10%.
This was enough to drive Xiao Lin to take this risk, and this Soul Condensing Pill was also a great temptation for Ji Dongliu, Zhuo Wanqing and Che Lanxin.
Ji Dongliu and Che Lanxin, like Xiao Lin, were both in the middle stage of the Golden Core, while Zhuo Wanqing was only in the early stage of the Golden Core. Only after entering the Golden Core stage could they truly understand the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck at each level.
This success rate of one or two percent was enough to make countless Golden Core cultivators desperate for it.
Looking at the Soul Reading Grass in front of them, Ji Dongliu and his wife and Che Lanxin all showed excited expressions on their faces. As long as they could refine a furnace of finished Soul Condensing Pills, it would be enough for them to have a high probability of making further progress in the future.
After entering the Golden Core stage, the bottleneck of each small realm is a huge gap. Only relying on one's own hard work can achieve it, unless one has amazing qualifications, like those evil talents of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots. For more than 99% of ordinary cultivators, in addition to hard work, they also need some opportunities to break through and advance.
For example, Xiao Lin only broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core after accidentally obtaining a "Small Fortune Pill" from the Silent Spirit Palace. Otherwise, even if he practiced hard until today, he might not be able to enter the middle stage of the Golden Core.
After the excitement, Ji Dongliu and the other two did not pick them, but cast their eyes on Xiao Lin, obviously looking for Xiao Lin's opinion. Since they were sure that the two people from the Six Paths Kui Demon Palace had all fallen in Xiao Lin's hands, the three of them had already regarded Xiao Lin as the captain and followed his lead.
This made Xiao Lin, who always liked to keep a low profile, helplessly smile bitterly in his heart and silently assumed the responsibility of the captain.
"These mature soul-reading grasses, two plants each for the three Taoist friends, and the rest belong to Xiao. What do you think of this distribution plan?" Xiao Lin said after a little thought.
Hearing this, Ji Dongliu, Che Lanxin and the other two could not help but show surprised expressions on their faces. In their opinion, among these soul-reading grasses, only seven mature soul-reading grasses are valuable. The rest of the soul-reading grasses are useless. Maybe they can be sold to the sect for cultivation, but in terms of value, they are completely incomparable with the seven mature soul-reading grasses.
"How can this be? We have already taken advantage of enough. After all, it is mostly due to Xiao Daoyou that we can enter the nest of the mirage double-winged dragon. In this way, we only need three mature soul-reading grasses, and the remaining four, Xiao Daoyou and Dao Daoyou each have two. How about it?" After thinking about it, Ji Dongliu took the initiative to speak.
"How about this, the eight-leaf soul-reading grass belongs to you and your spouse, and you can select two seven-leaf soul-reading grasses. The remaining four seven-leaf soul-reading grasses will be divided equally between me and Xiao Daoyou. Of course, those soul-reading grasses that are not old enough will also belong to Xiao Daoyou. How about it?" Che Lanxin also said her own plan.
After hearing Che Lanxin's plan, Ji Dongliu and his wife naturally agreed. After all, the probability and quality of refining soul-condensing pills with eight-leaf soul-reading grass are better than those with seven-leaf soul-reading grass.
After hearing Che Lanxin's compromise plan, Xiao Lin frowned and thought for a while before nodding, agreeing.
After agreeing on the distribution plan, Che Lanxin rushed towards the soul-reading grass, intending to pick them.
At this time, Xiao Lin suddenly shouted angrily, and Che Lanxin felt a chill coming from the side. Almost instinctively, the golden bead beside her flashed a golden light curtain, wrapping her in it.
A blue lightning suddenly flashed, illuminating the dark mountain belly. At the same time, Ji Dongliu next to him roared, and Xiao Lin also saw a blue lightning bead lightly shooting towards Ji Dongliu and his wife.
He was the only one who was not attacked, but Xiao Lin did not sit still. He opened his mouth slightly, and three Qingluan Ice Swords shot out immediately. After the blue lightning tore the golden light curtain in front of Che Lanxin, they shot towards a dark corner on the right side of the mountain.
Che Lanxin opened her mouth slightly, and two balls of golden light shot out without hesitation, entangled with the blue lightning, and the blue lightning also showed its true form, which was a slender magic flying sword like lightning.
"Zou Jingyang, you are really shameless." Xiao Lin's cold voice sounded, and the Qingluan Ice Sword shone brightly, revealing the figure of Zou Jingyang in the dark corner.
But at this moment, Zou Jingyang looked at him with a weird smile on his face, which made Xiao Lin instinctively feel something was wrong.
At this time, the scenery in front of him changed, and the next moment, he appeared in a busy desert.
