Nine Tribulations True Immortal

Chapter 24 The Origin of the Old Man in Black Robe
This is a strangely shaped token, triangular in appearance, very hard in texture, and extremely smooth to the touch.And on the back of the sign were engraved some seal characters that he couldn't understand.

Qin Yuxuan instinctively felt that this token should have some origins, but now he couldn't understand what it was for, so he put it in his storage bag.

"Now that I have the weapon for attack, I still need a shield for defense. I remember that the white bone shield used by the old man in black robe is quite solid. It can withstand Ah San's desperate blow, and I don't know that it was hit by a thunderbolt. Did it explode..." Qin Yuxuan thought to himself.

So, he swung the shovel again and started digging where the black-robed old man was.

However, this digging really paid off. The iron grip made a "boom", as if a piece of iron plate had been dug out, and the bottom should still be empty.

"I remembered! When I first entered the cave hall, I saw the old man in black robe rising from the ground sitting on a chair. There must be another space underground in this cave hall!" Qin Yuxuan suddenly became excited.

He dug along the iron plate for another meal, and finally dug the hole leading to the ground.

Qin Yuxuan went to the entrance of the cave and looked down, but saw a small basement with beds, tables, chairs, bookshelves and other things inside.It seemed that it was the bedroom of the old man in black robe.

He was overjoyed, so he first threw a stone to test it out, and after confirming that there were no traps or restrictions, Fang cautiously entered the basement.

However, after coming down, Qin Yuxuan was a little disappointed after using his spiritual sense to probe for a while.Because it looks like a simple bedroom inside, and there are no treasures.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.Because he discovered that there was a diary next to the bed of the old man in black robe.

Qin Yuxuan immediately picked up the diary and read it like a treasure. After reading, he finally figured out the origin of the black-robed old man.

It turned out that the old man in black robe was named Cai Jin, and he was originally a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanshen, who loved alchemy.Although the aptitude of Lingqiao is not high, but because of his small achievements in alchemy, his cultivation speed is still much faster than that of ordinary casual practitioners.

About three years ago, Cai Jin fell off a cliff when he was out picking spirit grass, and was seriously injured. He had to recuperate under the cliff for a month.

But just when he was ready to leave, he accidentally discovered a hidden ancient monk's cave.

This cave was originally covered up by prohibition, so it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to find out.But after all, too much time has passed, most of the original ancient prohibition collapsed, so the entrance of the cave was exposed.

Cai Jin was immediately overjoyed, and cautiously entered the cave to search.After three days and three nights of exploration, he finally found the skeleton of the cave master and got his storage bag.

However, in the storage bag of this ancient monk, there are not many precious things.There are only a few cheat books and a few magic tools.Moreover, judging from the inner strength method "Netherworld Divine Art" recorded in the secret book, the owner of the cave is basically an evil cultivator, an evil heretic that everyone in the world of cultivating immortals shouts and beats.

For example, although the ten ghost banners are powerful, they need soul sacrifices to maintain their attack power.And when it is upgraded, it is not enough to use ordinary mortal souls. It needs the soul sacrifice of monks to change from ten ghost banners to more powerful hundred ghost banners.

In addition, the exercises recorded in these secret books are also very evil, such as ghost fire technique, ghost claw, Yin evil palm, etc., just by hearing the names, you can tell that they are not righteous exercises.

Although Cai Jin is only a casual cultivator, but because he is an alchemist, he is very clear about the rules of the world of cultivating immortals.Knowing that cultivating this evil technique will definitely become the target of public criticism.

However, although this evil cultivating method hurts the harmony of heaven, it progresses very quickly.According to the introduction of the "Netherworld Divine Art": If you practice this exercise at a suitable Yinling meridian, the growth rate of your cultivation base is more than three times that of ordinary five-element internal energy.Moreover, the success rate can be increased by more than [-]% when advancing to the condensate stage.

After seeing this, Cai Jin finally moved his heart.After all, with his two spiritual orifice cultivation bases, if he wants to cultivate to the Yuanshen Stage Dzogchen, he doesn't know that the Year of the Monkey is gone.Moreover, even if he reached the Dzogchen stage of Yuanshen stage, he is already old, and his hope of hitting the bottleneck of the liquid condensation stage is slim.

However, if a monk can advance to the condensate stage, his lifespan will immediately increase from about a hundred years old to more than 200 years old. Such a huge temptation made Cai Jin finally decide to take a risk.

Since few people in the world of cultivating immortals practiced the ghost art, Cai Jin easily found an uninhabited place where the Yin Lingmai was located, and then began to practice "Ghost Art".

At the same time, in order to practice the corresponding ghost spells, he began to hunt and kill those casual practitioners who were not as good as him.Use its living soul to sacrifice and refine the ten ghost banners.

Because he is more cautious, he only looks for casual cultivators who are alone.Therefore, although many monks disappeared nearby, no one found him.Make his cultivation base and strength grow day by day.

In this way, in just two years, Cai Jin was promoted to the late stage of Yuanshen, and began to prepare to hit the bottleneck of the liquid condensation stage.

He hunted and killed other low-level monks more and more frequently. Because there were too many casual monks missing nearby, many monks were afraid to go out alone because of fear.Even if there are casual cultivators who want to hunt monsters and dig spiritual grass, they only dare to go out in groups of five or more.In this way, Cai Jin's chances of winning the phone were greatly reduced.

But in order to break through the bottleneck of the condensation period, he couldn't give up halfway.

So, Cai Jin finally started to attack some disciples of Xiao Xiuxian's family.In just a few months, more than 30 disciples of more than ten small Xiuxian families disappeared in the area of ​​Xiushan and Youyang.

After such a major event, the heads and elders of the Xiuxian family finally lost their composure.They began to send people around to search for the whereabouts of their disciples.

With the deepening of the investigation and the exposure of various clues, all the blame was finally pointed at the alchemist Cai Jin who had improved by leaps and bounds.

However, at this time, Cai Jin had already retreated and started to attack the bottleneck of the liquid condensation period, and several cultivating families who were looking for him were in vain.

A year later, Cai Jin finally broke through the bottleneck and successfully hit the liquid condensation stage.And several ghost spells are also mastered.

When he came to Fangshi full of confidence to buy items, he was suddenly discovered by several immortal cultivators who had been looking for him for a long time, and wanted to ask him.

In fact, these cultivating families did not confirm that Cai Jin was the murderer, they just found out that their disciples had contact with Cai Jin before they disappeared.

However, Cai Jin, who has a guilty conscience, dares to accept interrogation. Seeing so many people surrounding him, he immediately wants to run away.

As a result, several elders of the cultivating family suddenly became suspicious, and they wanted to capture Cai Jin immediately.

But what they never expected was that this Cai Jin's cultivation technique was extremely strange. Although he had just advanced to the early stage of Congealing Liquid, he was not at all inferior in fighting against several monks of the same rank.The three monks at the early stage of liquid condensation and the three monks at the late stage of Yuanshen who besieged him died or were wounded, and in the end he broke through and escaped.

This result not only angered several cultivating families.It also attracted the attention of the nearby Shushan sect, a great sect of cultivating immortals.After they sent someone to check the wounds of the deceased, they concluded that this was an evil cultivator who had practiced the Ghost Dao Kung Fu and had to be eliminated.

So, led by a crystal-transforming monk from Shushan, more than a dozen monks from the liquid-condensing period formed an interception team, followed Cai Jin's aura, and finally surrounded him near his lair.

Although Cai Jin is much stronger than the monks of the same level, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot be the opponent of the monks of the crystal transformation period.

So, in this battle, he was finally severely injured and his legs were broken.If he hadn't fled desperately into a nearby high-level monster territory, making those monks dare not go deep, they would have been killed long ago.

Cai Jin was very lucky, because after he was seriously injured, his breath was weak, and he was not noticed by the high-ranking monsters, and he was finally retreated by the monks chasing him.

Although he healed his injury later and had his broken bones connected, he could no longer walk because of the severed meridians in his legs and feet.

In addition, he has too many enemies, and he is afraid that he will be besieged as soon as he goes out.He has been hiding in this cave and immersing himself in cultivation, feeding on nearby wild animals and wild fruits.Because he can refine elixirs, and this "Nether Art" is indeed advancing rapidly.It actually made him restore his cultivation base.

Therefore, Cai Jin planned to re-sacrifice the ten-ghost banner and upgrade it to a hundred-ghost banner, but he suffered from the lack of monk souls, so he had to stop there.

But just when he was about to give up, Marin, a casual cultivator who wanted to make a fortune, came to his hiding place by accident.

Naturally, Cai Jin subdued Marin with ease, subdued him with the Three Corpse Brain Pills, and asked him to lure some low-level casual cultivators into this cave so as to collect their souls...
