Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 85 Returning to Liyang Sect

"No?"

Xu Mu didn't notice the existence of the stone chamber under the strafing of his spiritual thoughts.

"Am I in the wrong place?"

Xu Mu flew high into the sky and looked around. There was only such an isolated island in a radius of ten miles.

"It can't be wrong! When I left, I checked with Mr. Lu several times, and the nearby sea area is not a dangerous place. There is a complete sea chart, and there is no similar place!"

Xu Mu landed on the island and looked around. He still had a clear impression of several scenes, and he was absolutely unmistakable.

But no matter how he looked with his divine sense, the interior of the island was empty, except for stones and mud, there was no stone chamber at all.

"Could it be that the stone chamber will disappear like the space crack?"

Xu Mu's face became more and more ugly, he was not reconciled, he took a subsidence amulet on his body, and got into the island.

Soon, he appeared in the stone room.

"This this……"

While Xu Mu was delighted, he was also quite shocked.

"When I left, I thought it was because my perception was weak, so I couldn't find the stone room."

"Unexpectedly, it actually has the effect of deceiving divine sense!"

He reached out and stroked the cold stone wall, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that it would have such a magical function.

It turned out that Xu Mu wanted to cut off a piece to have a look, but he was afraid of destroying its function. If it affected the space crack, he would really cry to death here.

"In any case, let's go back first! It's not too late to study when you have the opportunity!"

The primary goal is to return to the original area first.

"At first I thought this stone room was made by Xiao Yi, but now it seems that he doesn't have the strength!"

"Since it's not Xiao Yi, who could it be? Why did he give up here?"

The value of this space crack is self-evident.

Not to mention the ability to resell supplies on both sides, just being able to easily cross a million miles away is enough to make Yuan Yingqi's heart flutter.

The other party created the stone chamber, apparently to cover up the existence of the space crack and enjoy it alone, but now it is abandoned, it is hard not to make people suspicious.

"This crack in space, there shouldn't be any hidden dangers that I don't know about?"

Xu Mu's heart was suddenly covered with a haze.

But let him give up so easily, the priceless space crack, he is really not willing to part with it.

You must know that if his reselling plan is successful, the profits he gets every time are enough to make a Jindanqi feel excited, and if he continues to develop, the profits will only increase.

do?
Don't do it?

What danger?
Chaotic thoughts kept flashing in his mind.

At this time, above the sea.

Rays of light pierced the sky and landed on the island. The light spread out, revealing each and every one of the peerless beauties with unique auras.

The junior sister Bai who wanted to accept Xu Mu as the cauldron was also among them, at the end of the team.

The leader was a girl with waist-length hair and white clothes and white hair. Her face looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her eyes were so old that she seemed to see through the vicissitudes of the world.

The incomparably tyrannical divine thoughts emanated from the girl's body and swept around, but found nothing.

The girl in white frowned slightly, and the many Jindan female cultivators who followed behind her trembled in fright.

Only a woman with strange blue hair and watery eyes walked forward calmly.

"Master! We have been searching here for more than a year, and there is no trace of space cracks. The apprentice feels that the map is probably fake!"

After the blue-haired woman finished speaking, she stood aside.

All the female cultivators behind her raised their hearts.

For more than a year, they were ordered to search the nearby waters non-stop. It can be said that it was quite hard. If the white-haired girl was not too majestic, they would have given up long ago.

The white-haired girl closed her eyes, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said:

"go back!"

After finishing speaking, the white-haired girl glanced back, turned into a white rainbow, and projected towards the north, and all the female cultivators hurriedly followed.

That junior sister Bai paused for a moment, thinking of the excellent cauldron material, she hesitated for a moment, and finally she was afraid of offending the master, so she hurriedly turned into a light and chased after her.

……

I don't know how long it took, whether it was a day or half a day, a faint spot of light suddenly appeared in the originally empty stone room.

Xu Mu's mind was shocked, and he withdrew all his confused thoughts in an instant, staring at that spot of light with all his attention.

The spot of light continues to expand, like an invisible big hand, rendering it, revealing the forest scene with withered and yellow leaves.

The familiar scenery that caught his eyes made Xu Mu's heart inevitably excited.

When the light spot was enlarged enough to pass through a person's passage, Xu Mu couldn't wait to get through.

There was the familiar smell of grass and trees in the air, and the endless roar of insects and beasts in his ears. At this moment, his hanging heart finally fell down.

Although there are tens of thousands of guesses in my heart, there should be no problems, but before I really come back, my heart is still unavoidable.

Looking back at the space crack that was still expanding, he looked left and right, and finally decided not to pretend to be clever and arrange some concealment formations.

After destroying the cave he originally opened, Xu Mu looked around to make sure there was nothing missing, and then rushed towards the direction of Li Yangzong.

……

At this time, almost three months had passed since he set off from Liyang City.

When going there, Xu Mu spent more than half a month in order to avoid monsters and lack of strength.

At this time, Xu Mu returned home like an arrow, and with his strength greatly increased, it only took less than seven days to return to the area where Li Yangzong was located.

On the way, he also killed a fourth-order flying monster with no eyes.

The outline of Cuilingfang City had already appeared in his sight.

Xu Mu fell to the ground, removed the invisibility technique, put on an ordinary magic robe, and rushed towards Cuilingfang City.

He wanted to drop by to find out if any major events had happened to the Liyang Sect in the past two months, especially the battle between the Tianhe Sect and the Tongyou Sect.

"Huh? Why are there so few people?"

Just entering the outer area of ​​Fang City, Xu Mu noticed something unusual.

It's just autumn now, and it's still at the peak of hunting monsters, but there are fewer monks in Fang City than when the winter came last time, and all of them are frowning and full of pain.

"Isn't this place also affected by the war?"

Uneasy, Xu Mu hurriedly grabbed a passerby and stuffed a spirit stone in the past.

"Dare to ask my friend, is there something important happening recently, why are you all so frowning?"

"..."

The passerby who took the spirit stone showed surprise when he heard Xu Mu's question.

"I said friend, how long have you been in seclusion! You don't even know about ghost cultivators!"

"Ghost cultivator? What ghost cultivator? Fellow Daoist, can you explain in detail!"

Xu Mu's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling of uneasiness became even stronger.

Passers-by saw that Xu Mu's expression didn't look like a fake, so he opened his mouth to explain: "You always know about the battle between Tianhezong and Tongyouzong, right?"

"Know!"

Xu Mu nodded.

I thought, maybe there will be another oolong incident.

"Just over a month ago, Patriarch Tianhe led many Jindan masters and finally drove Tongyouzong to a desperate situation. In order to avoid being wiped out, the Yuanying ancestor of Tongyouzong made peace and agreed to cede half of the territory. 300 The mountain is closed every year!"

"It's just that Patriarch Tianhe didn't agree, he must be killed!"

Speaking of this, passers-by's tone contained a trace of complaint.

"Later, the Tongyou patriarch didn't know that the tendon was wrong, so he gave up the chance of reincarnation and transformed everyone in the sect into ghost cultivators! Including himself!"

"Although the strength of a ghost cultivator is not much stronger than that of ordinary monks, the means of escape and hiding are beyond the reach of ordinary monks!"

"Facing the cultivators of the Tongyou Sect who were transformed into ghost cultivators, the encirclement led by the founder of Tianhe was broken. Now the ghost cultivators of the Tongyou Sect have spread to all the areas under the jurisdiction of the Tianhe Sect. They come out every night to carry out assassinations. It takes less than a month. , Thousands of monks have died in the major sects, and even us casual cultivators are unlucky, who can be in a good mood under such circumstances!"

Xu Mu was extremely shocked.

He never expected that such a major change would happen in just two or three months.

If it is too much to say that the Soul Refining Sect's bloodwashing of the Qinghe Sword Sect, that day when Patriarch He slaughtered the Jindan Sect of the Devil Dao with the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, it would be tantamount to tearing his face and turning the table.

And Tong Youzong's current actions are tantamount to directly peeing in the pot.

Xu Mu also knew something about ghost repair.

There are indeed many benefits to becoming a ghost cultivator, such as hiding and escaping as passers-by say.

There is another name for ghost cultivation, called soul cultivation, which means only cultivating the soul but not the body.

Luo Lie, who lost his body at the beginning, can also be transformed into a ghost cultivator if he has the ghost cultivation technique.

Because ghost cultivators have no entity, they can change and distort at will, and do many things that ordinary monks cannot do, such as passing through walls, such as hiding in ground, such as hiding among vegetation, mountains and rocks.

Because there is no physical body, and no longer bound by wind resistance and gravity, the flying speed is faster.

It can be said that it has really been done, come without a shadow, go without a trace.

At the same time, without the physical body, there is no life limit. As long as the soul and body are not destroyed, they will live forever.

Ghost cultivators don't need to take pills, and they don't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. They can directly devour other people's souls to complete their advancement, which is a bit similar to Xu Mu's beast souls.

With so many benefits, there are almost no ghost cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals.

The reason is that its disadvantages are greater.

First, because ghost cultivators are too cloudy, they will be greatly suppressed by the sun during the day, and the weak ones will turn into green smoke on the spot.

Second, it is true that a ghost cultivator can easily advance by devouring the soul body, but at the same time he has to face the impact of consciousness in the opponent's soul body. If the soul body is swallowed too much, it will form a demon.

The number of demons faced by ghost cultivators is thousands of times that of ordinary monks.

Very few ghost cultivators can survive for hundreds of years under the erosion of demons. The so-called endless life span is just a joke.

Those ghost cultivators whose minds have been taken away by the demons have become evil worshipers that everyone in the cultivation world shouts and beats.

This is not the worst, the real reason why thousands of monks would rather die than go to the way of ghosts is because after practicing the way of ghosts, there is no turning back, either they become irrational evil worshipers, or their souls are scattered.

Ghost cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are even more unlucky, not only have to face the above problems, but also face the thunder calamity that occurs once every 300 years.

It is extremely difficult for normal Nascent Soul monks to fight against Thunder Tribulation, but for Nascent Soul ghost cultivators, it is almost like sending them to death.

Tongyouzong's actions like this are completely red-eyed, and they would rather die than drag Tianhezong into trouble.

"Oops! Nothing will happen to Yingying and the others, right?"

Xu Mu was suddenly filled with worry.

No longer in the mood to inquire carefully, Xu Mu released the flying boat and immediately rushed towards Liyang City at the fastest speed.

Looking at the flying boat going away and looking at the spirit stone in his hand, passers-by were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Fuck! That person just now couldn't be a great monk in the Foundation Establishment period?!!!!"
