Chapter 508: Yin Fire Stone, a Fish that Slipped Through the Net (Combined Chapter)

After fighting for a while, seeing that the Yin Qi of the Jindan Ghost King suddenly increased and he wanted to turn into a ghost and escape, Song Qingming, who had been prepared, immediately cast a spell to control the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and released the purple light magic in the mirror to firmly control the Ghost King, who had turned into a ghost mist, in mid-air, making it difficult for him to escape.

The Jindan Ghost King saw that his method of escaping was no longer effective, and was also panicked. He was forced to show his body again and fell into Song Qingming's siege again.

Before Song Qingming came, he knew that he had to deal with the Jindan Ghost King, and he also made some preparations. With a slight movement of his hand, he took out the magic weapon "Mobai Sword" that he had just sacrificed and added a few second-level ghost-exorcising talismans that Song Xinyu brought from the sect to it.

With the blessing of the talisman, the "Mobai Sword" in Song Qingming's hand, which was originally black and white, immediately had a layer of golden light, and the momentum was instantly strengthened.

After seeing the powerful "Mobai Sword" appear, the Jindan Ghost King immediately showed some fear, but at this moment he had no way to escape, so he could only bite the bullet and frantically urge the Yin Qi in his body to roll towards Song Qingming.

The two fought in the air for about an incense stick of time, and finally Song Qingming relied on his own powerful strength to easily kill the opponent, ending this battle without suspense.

The sword shattered the ghost king's soul. After the soul of the Jindan Ghost King completely dissipated between heaven and earth, Song Qingming confidently controlled the "Mobai Sword" and took the last egg-sized black ball that fell from him into his hand.

This black ball was the ghost pill on the ghost king just now. Although the value of this thing is not as good as the demon pill on the monster, it is also a very useful rare spiritual object.

The ghost pill of the Jindan Ghost King is condensed from the pure Yin Qi between heaven and earth. This thing is also a good material for refining various Yin attribute magic weapons or pills.

In addition, the biggest function of the ghost pill is to refine the golden elixir corpse puppet. This kind of spiritual object can be equivalent to the incarnation technique of the Yuanying cultivator. The corpse puppet with better quality can even have the combat power no less than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, and is much more powerful than the general puppet beast of the same level.

Although Xiaoyao Sect does not have the skill of refining corpse puppets, many sects in the cultivation world have inherited this skill, and there are also sects near the Floating Cloud Mountains that focus on this skill.

After getting this ghost pill, Song Qingming was in a good mood. He was able to get this spiritual object, and his efforts in this battle were not in vain.

After putting away the black sphere in his hand, Song Qingming hurriedly took out the "Phantom Boat" and turned back to the entrance of the cave.

When Song Qingming arrived, he found that Song Qingyu and the other two who were guarding the entrance of the cave were desperately intercepting the ghosts who wanted to escape from inside. Because Song Qingming and the Golden Core Ghost King left one after another, many low-level ghosts also wanted to run out from inside.

Seeing that Song Qingyu and the other two were busy because more and more ghosts ran out of the cave, Song Qingming quickly cast a spell to help them kill the ghost cultivators gathered at the door.

"Seventh brother, did you catch the ghost king?" Seeing that Song Qingming came back safely, Song Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Well! It's just a ghost with no intelligence, how could it escape from my palm? You two are not injured!"

Song Qingyu smiled and shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, this minor injury will not affect your daily practice. You will recover after a few years of nursing. Seventh brother and sister-in-law are still in there, let's go and meet them!"

After Song Qingming nodded slightly, he took Song Qingyu and the other two directly into the cave, and soon found Huang Siyuan and others who were still fighting fiercely with several foundation-building ghosts.

With the participation of Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator, and the "Mobai Sword" killing all around, these foundation-building ghosts were soon vulnerable and turned into a burst of Yin Qi and disappeared between heaven and earth.

After eliminating all the ghost cultivators who entangled Huang Siyuan and others, Song Qingming led everyone into the depths of the cave, and soon found a place full of various bones.

"This is Yin Fire Stone, Brother Qi, come and see, there are a lot of Yin Fire Stones here." Song Qingyu, who was walking in front, saw a stone with a trace of white fire in the middle of the bones, and hurriedly shouted to Song Qingming beside him.

When everyone heard Song Qingyu shouting, they hurried forward and saw a piece of "Yin Fire Stone" piled in the middle of these bones, and they all showed a look of shock.

Seeing these "Yin Fire Stones" in front of him, Song Qingming finally understood why there were so many ghost cultivators gathered here, and why a Jindan ghost king was born.

"Yin Fire Stone" is a special ore that exists in the dark underground. Because the Yin Fire attached to the ore is very strong, it is also a high-level ore that can be used to refine magic tools. So many "Yin Fire Stones" gathered here, and it is easy to form a Yin Spirit Land over time. It is no wonder that the Golden Core Ghost King can be cultivated in the cave.

"Husband, there are so many Yin Fire Stones. It seems that there is a Yin Fire Stone vein underground. How should we deal with this place?" Huang Siyuan looked at Song Xinyu on the side and asked Song Qingming softly.

Seeing these "Yin Fire Stones", Song Qingming also fell into deep thought. It was not until he heard Huang Siyuan's question that he came back to his senses and shook his head and said, "This place is deep in the Yunwu Mountain, and there are monsters everywhere. Even if it is really a mineral vein, it is not so easy to mine. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Don't make it public after you go back."

Hearing Song Qingming's reminder, the people who entered the cave put away their smiles and nodded in response.

"Seventh Brother is right. Let's not worry about these Yin Fire Stones for now. The most urgent thing is to find where Changze is. This child has been trapped here for so long. I'm afraid the situation will be a little bad. Let's disperse and look for him to see if he is here!"

Hearing Song Qingyu's reminder, everyone came back to their senses. The original purpose of everyone coming here was to find Song Changze. They quickly left this place of bones and began to look around. It was just a little strange that everyone turned around in this cave for several times, but still didn't find Song Changze.

In this ghost cave, in addition to the dark place leading to the deepest part, there are several small branch caves along the way, but they are all dead ends after reaching the end. Everyone checked and found no other exits or secret rooms.

Just when everyone returned to the land of bones and met up, and some were at a loss, Song Qingming calmly took out the magic weapon "Qingliu Sword" on his body, gently cut his finger, and squeezed out a trace of blood from it.

"Husband, what are you doing? Why do you want to hurt yourself?" Seeing that Song Qingming actually used his magic weapon to deliberately hurt himself, Huang Siyuan, who was somewhat puzzled by Song Qingming's intention, immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

Song Qingming smiled and explained: "This time when I went to Wu, I learned a secret technique of finding people from an old friend. It's just right to see if it can be used. You don't have to worry. I just took a little of my own blood to cast a spell."

Hearing Song Qingming say this, Huang Siyuan and others suddenly realized it and stood aside carefully waiting for Song Qingming to cast a spell to find people.

This time in Wu, he met Wang Mengxiao, who had helped find his third brother Song Qingze many years ago. In his spare time, Song Qingming used some spiritual objects on his body to exchange for the "Bloodline Soul Seeking Technique" that he was very interested in back then.

Faced with this small request from Song Qingming, the guest elder of the sect, Wang Mengxiao agreed on the spot. After all, it was just a secret technique on his body, and it was not a very important thing. Wang Mengxiao was naturally very willing to use it to please Song Qingming, the elder of the sect.

After taking out a drop of his own blood, Song Qingming immediately took out a piece of yellow talisman paper and put it in his hand, and then began to cast a spell. It was not until the talisman paper in his hand lit up with spiritual light that Song Qingming dripped the blood he had just taken out onto the talisman paper.

Not long after, a burst of fire suddenly ignited, and the talisman paper in Song Qingming's hand slowly turned into ashes, and then a puff of green smoke came out.

After carefully looking at the green smoke, Song Qingming, according to the instructions, led everyone to the outside of a cave closer to the cave entrance. Looking at the cave in front of him that showed no abnormality, Song Qingming's face showed a slight solemnity.

"Uncle Qi, I just checked this cave carefully and found nothing unusual." Seeing Song Qingming's eyes fixed on the cave, Song Xinyu hurriedly asked.

"It doesn't matter! We'll know if there is any situation after going in and taking a look."

After leading a few people directly into the cave, Song Qingming quickly walked to the end of the cave according to the guidance of the green smoke left by the talisman in his hand, and was finally blocked by a boulder that seemed to be naturally formed.

According to the direction guided by the "Bloodline Soul Seeking Technique", Song Changze should still be behind the boulder, but the end of the cave is completely devoid of roads as Song Xinyu said, and everyone can't see from the surface how people hide behind the stone.

After carefully looking around the boulder, Song Qingming suddenly remembered something, his face changed and he shouted loudly to the front: "Don't get close to there, come back!"

Hearing Song Qingming's warning, Song Xinyu and Huang Siyuan, who were checking the boulder, hurriedly stepped back. Just as they were about to move away from the boulder, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared above the boulder, and a black vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, sucking Song Xinyu and Huang Siyuan directly over.

"Be careful above!"

Huang Siyuan and the others, who felt something was wrong, hurriedly propped up the magic shield to resist the suction, but found that with their foundation-building cultivation, it was still difficult to resist the huge suction, and their bodies were still slowly sucked over by the black vortex.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, who had no time to think about it, hurriedly flew forward and lifted the two of them and retreated, pulling Song Xinyu and Huang Siyuan back again.

After Huang Siyuan and the other person returned to the original place and the crisis was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they turned around and looked again, they found that the dark vortex above the boulder suddenly disappeared again.

Song Qingming looked at the boulder and frowned, saying: "There should be an ancient formation here. Everyone be careful and don't get too close."

"It's actually an ancient formation. Brother Qi, are you sure you can break it directly?" Song Qingyu asked anxiously.

Hearing that the ancient formation was blocking the road ahead, everyone showed a hint of surprise on their faces. No wonder Song Xinyu didn't see any clues when he came in to search.

The ancient formation is different from many commonly used formations now. Not only Song Xinyu, but even Song Qingming, a second-level upper-grade formation master, didn't see anything wrong with the boulder at first glance.

"Don't worry, I seem to have seen similar ancient formations. It shouldn't be difficult to break!" Song Qingming looked at the boulder in front with a complicated expression, and replied to Song Qingyu on the side.

This ancient formation is somewhat similar to the formation that Song Qingming helped Bai Yunhua repair in Xiaoyao Sect. Although it is obvious that this formation and the one in Bai Yunhua's hand are not the same formation, Song Qingming did see a lot of familiar runes that he had seen when he saw the formation running just now.

The power of the ancient formation is generally much greater than that of the current formation. If Song Qingming has not seen these runes, even if he can see this formation, it is difficult to break it.

Fortunately, he could identify most of the runes on it, and he could use the tricks of the formation master without spending a lot of effort to force the formation. Because of this, Song Qingming was somewhat confident that he could quickly break the formation.

After carefully exploring the ancient formation, Song Qingming took out the formation flag he was carrying and began to break the formation.

The level of this ancient formation was not very high, and it was about the same as the second-level top-grade formation that Bai Yunhua repaired that year. With the help of several people from the Song family, after finding the right method, Song Qingming only took half a day to successfully break the ancient formation in front of him.

As the spiritual energy in the ancient formation slowly dissipated, the boulder blocking the front of everyone turned into a white mist and disappeared directly.

"Okay! The formation has been broken, we can go in."

Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction at the front, and led everyone from the Song family through the hole originally blocked by the boulder and entered a semicircular cave.

After walking in and taking a look around, everyone soon found a figure lying on the ground with his back to them in a corner of the cave.

"Look, it's Changze!" Seeing that the man was wearing the unique clothing of the Song family cultivators, Song Qingyu hurriedly shouted.

"Don't worry, you wait here first, I'll take a look at the situation first. There may be ancient cultivation formations here, and there may be other dangers. Don't be careless."

After Song Qingming reminded everyone, he cast a spell to take out a second-level puppet beast from his body, controlled it to slowly approach the target, and a moment later, the Chifeng beast carried Song Changze, who was still unconscious, back.

"Fortunately, he's fine, but someone has planted a restriction in his body. He should be able to wake up after it is removed!" Song Qingming cast a spell to check Song Changze, and then smiled and comforted everyone.

Seeing that Song Changze was not seriously injured, Song Qingyu and others slowly let go of their worries that had been hanging for so many days.

"It's strange. There's no one else here. Who put the restriction on Changze? Could it be those ghost cultivators outside?" Huang Siyuan looked around and asked everyone about the doubts in her heart.

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Help Changze to remove the restriction in his body first, and then ask him directly to see if he knows what happened."

"That's good!" Song Qingyu responded, took out a talisman and pasted it on Song Changze's forehead, and began to cast a spell to break the restriction in his body. Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanli carefully held the formation flags in their hands and guarded Song Qingyu.

Seeing that they were already working on removing the restriction on Song Changze, Song Qingming was relieved and continued to control the Chifeng Beast, and began to search carefully in the cave.

The Chifeng beast that was searching the cave was brought back from the front line of Lu State by Song Qingming. It had been with him for a long time. Although it did not help Song Qingming much, it still did a lot of hard work in exploring the mountains.

The cave where Song Changze was trapped was not very large. It was only a dozen feet in radius and the edge could be seen at a glance. When Song Qingming and others came in, in addition to the unconscious Song Changze, there were several rotten monster corpses and a pile of messy broken bones in the cave.

These bones were of various sizes. They basically looked like the monsters that appeared near Yunwu Mountain and were left after decay. After searching among these bones, Song Qingming accidentally found a human skeleton that had already been broken.

In such a hidden place, plus there was an ancient cultivation array covering it, it was obviously not something that ordinary people could enter. This rotten skeleton was also very likely the owner of this cave.

Seeing the white bones everywhere in the cave, Song Qingming could probably guess that they were all sucked into the cave by the ancient cultivation array that was still running at the entrance of the cave, and were unable to escape and were trapped here to death.

What Song Qingming couldn't understand was that the bones in the cave were so decomposed that some of them had existed for at least a thousand years. It was really beyond his expectation that this ancient cultivation array could still operate intact after so many years.

Carefully walking to the side of the skeleton, Song Qingming glanced around and actually saw a purple cloth bag that was mostly pressed down under the skeleton.

"Is this a storage bag?"

Just as Song Qingming was attracted by the purple cloth bag in front of him, the skeleton on the ground suddenly raised his right arm and shot a green light straight at Song Qingming's forehead.

Facing the sudden green light, Song Qingming did not show panic on his face. He chuckled and the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" had already appeared on his forehead and stopped the green light, as if he had been prepared.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the green light immediately turned around and headed straight for the cave entrance where Song Qingyu and others were, trying to escape from the cave, but Huang Siyuan and others in front were also prepared, and the formation flags in their hands had formed a formation to block the cave entrance.

As soon as the green light rushed to the cave entrance, it plunged into the formation controlled by Huang Siyuan and others, and was then bounced back by the formation.

Before the green light could react, Song Qingming in the back had already snorted coldly and cast a spell with both hands. Several purple spiritual lights shot out from the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and directly trapped the green light in mid-air.

"Humph! I knew there was still a fish that slipped through the net." Looking at the green light trapped in mid-air, Song Qingming slowly showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

From the beginning of entering the cave, after discovering that Song Changze was under a ban, Song Qingming immediately knew in his heart that there must be someone hiding in the cave.

Before controlling the Chifeng Beast to search the cave, Song Qingming had already secretly sent a message to Huang Siyuan and others to guard the door, ready to form a formation to fight the enemy at any time.

Including when Song Qingming checked the skeleton just now, he also pretended to reveal a flaw. In fact, he had already secretly prepared to deal with it, just to lure out this ghost thing hidden in the cave.

After controlling the green light, Song Qingming discovered that this guy seemed to be a ghost cultivator, but the cultivation of this ghost cultivator was not very high, only at the peak of foundation building, and had not yet condensed a ghost pill.

"Fellow Daoist, please spare my life. I am also a miserable person. I was trapped here many years ago and turned into a ghost cultivator. Please spare me a way out. I am willing to give you all the spiritual objects in my storage bag." Seeing that Song Qingming was unfriendly and ready to cast a spell to kill him, this ghost cultivator unexpectedly took the initiative to speak human words.

Because ghost cultivators lack spiritual intelligence, like monsters, they generally have to cultivate to the late stage of Jindan to supplement their own spiritual intelligence before they can speak human words. Seeing that this ghost cultivator could speak before condensing a ghost pill, Song Qingming's face also showed a trace of surprise.

"Oh! Who are you and why are you hiding here?"

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. My real name is Wen Tianyang. I didn't mean to hide here. I was also a Jindan cultivator back then. I accidentally entered this place and was trapped here because I didn't understand the formation. Later, my soul couldn't escape into reincarnation for some reason, so I turned to practicing ghosts. I have been in this cave all these years, and I don't know how much time has passed."

The green light saw that Song Qingming seemed to believe what he said, so he hurriedly explained it again, and his tone showed a trace of the loneliness and sadness of a Jindan cultivator.

After hearing the other party's answer, Song Qingming's face remained calm and did not change. He then spoke directly: "I will ask you one last question. Apart from us, has anyone else ever come into this place of ghosts outside?"

"No, absolutely not! Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Although I can't get out these years, I still have a way to know some of the outside situation through the formation. The entrance to this cave is very hidden. Apart from these ghost cultivators with incomplete intelligence outside, no one else has been here in these years. If it weren't for you fellow Daoists who broke the formation and rescued me today, I don't know when I can see the light of day again."

"Haha! When did I say I would save you!"
