Fairy cage

Yu Lie and others were running, their Taoist instruments flashing, and they naturally understood the orders issued by several Taoist masters.

Only now did they vaguely know what had happened in the earth-shattering fight just now.

"Zi Hanzi, it turns out that the ancient cultivator was called Xi Hanzi, and the ancient cultivator also adopted a Taoist name!"

"Remnant Pill, is it the Great Pill of Shihanzi?"

In an instant, there was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and even the leading Taoist priests had their eyes flashing, with expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.

Several Taoist priests secretly thought in their hearts: "Although the assessment was carried out this time for a reason, hundreds of thousands of Taoist disciples were killed in one breath. The nine of us cannot escape the blame... But if we can find the residual pill, That’s different!”

Naturally, what they wanted was not to hand over the residual pill honestly, but to take it themselves. Especially among them, the two high-ranking Taoist priests, such as the Wa family Taoist priest and the Zhu family Taoist priest, have the brightest light in their eyes!

"There is this remnant pill, if you take it, you may be able to break through my barrier, and let me successfully prepare the great medicine, and the pill will turn you into a dragon or a tiger!"

Especially the Zhu family Taoist priest, who originally looked extremely embarrassed, but now he understands the situation after hearing the Taoist masters' decrees.

The Zhu family Taoist priest's face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy and hope.

In mid-air, the Taoist priest of the Zhu family looked back at the tens of thousands of Taoist disciples who were following him, with a fierce look in his eyes: "As long as I can find the residual pill, what happened today will be harmless to me, and the benefits will be greater than expected!"

As for how to collect the remaining pills, we naturally have to rely on these Taoist disciples. Otherwise, he alone, even if he is a sixth-grade high-ranking Taoist priest, will not be able to do all the work.

"But how to make these little Taoist disciples do their best to help me search for it, and to ensure that they don't pocket the benefits after collecting it, I have to use some means."

The Zhu family Taoist priest pondered in his heart, with a look of hesitation on his face, but in the blink of an eye, the cruel look in his eyes flashed again.

He stopped, looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "Don't rush back to the camp, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything."

When the Taoist disciples who were led by him saw the Zhu family Taoist priest stop, they all raised their heads and looked at him, not knowing why.

Soon, the Taoist disciples saw a warm smile on the face of the Zhu family Taoist priest. He looked at everyone and said:

"All the disciples are shocked by this big change. We have traveled thousands of miles now and are still far away from the camp. You can sit down and rest by yourself."

The Taoist priest of the Zhu family added: "By the way, you can line up and come to Pindao to receive some assessment subsidies. This world is extremely dangerous and ghostly, so this can be regarded as some support from the palace to you."

Many Taoist disciples had expressions of surprise on their faces when they heard this.

The other side.

Yu Lie and his party were walking with the Taoist priest of the Wa family.

After walking for a while, the Taoist priest of the Wa family also asked everyone to stop and have a rest.

"The journey is long and ghostly. Disciples, please take medicine and cast spells on your own and take a rest. Please pay attention to your safety. The world here has changed, and the danger is probably far greater than the palace expected. Even poor Taoists may not be able to protect you."

After the Taoist priest of the Wa family finished speaking, he found a huge stone, sat cross-legged on it, and meditated to rest.

Tens of thousands of Taoist disciples immediately loudly agreed: "Yes."

More than 30,000 people were scattered around, and because they were so close and their bodies looked tense, they were like 30,000 rats crawling on the rocks.

The remaining three and Wa Twelve were among the crowd, and they were no exception. They all hunched over and looked around nervously.

A barren hill appeared in their eyes. There were few plants in their eyes, and only some twisted trees grew occasionally.

Among them, Yu Lie nodded with a few people close to him, and he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to restore the energy in his body that was consumed by running and casting spells.

But soon, Yu Lie opened his eyes, frowned and took out a spirit stone from his sleeve, holding it in his hand.

Next to Yu Lie, Miaomu, who was also adjusting his breath, immediately said: "Why is the spiritual energy in this place so thin, like a land of extraordinary spirits?"

Yu Lie heard this and returned:

"Not only is the spiritual energy thin, but there is also a bad smell around. It seems that the Taoist palace's instructions are correct. If you stay in this world for a long time, you must take medicines such as exorcism pills. Otherwise, if you stay too long, your true energy and physical body will be damaged. Even the soul may be contaminated and impede spiritual practice.”

After finishing speaking, Yu Lie secretly sent a message to Miao Mu and Luo Sen: "In this world, it is best not to swallow the surrounding spiritual energy, and only draw it from the elixir and spiritual stone. If there is any deficiency, I will I brought a little more.”

The two women responded: "I understand, thank you Brother Lie."

"Okay, Langjun."

So the three of them immediately took out the prepared ghost pills and other medicines from their sleeves, and took one or more of them according to their respective physical conditions.

Yu Lie also took out an extra bottle of elixir and handed it to Wa Twelve. It turned out that Wa Twelve was also smart. He had already taken out a jade bottle from his belly pocket and poured it into his mouth like a jelly bean.

A trace of pure medicinal gas floated out, and Yu Lie, who was a practitioner of alchemy, heard it. Although he did not identify the specific elixir, he also found that its texture was excellent and could not be compared to the exorcism pill.

When Wa Twelve saw Yu Lie hand over the pill, he quickly thanked Yu Lie and waved his hand to indicate no need. He also held the jade bottle in his hand and shook it towards Yu Lie, as if asking Yu Lie if he wanted a few too.

Yu Lie looked at the pill bottle, which was still slightly stained with saliva, and shook his head slightly.

So the next moment, without thinking, Wa Twelve took out another jade bottle from his belly pocket and handed it to Yu Lie: "Here."

Yu Lie wanted to decline politely, but the jade bottle was already put into his hand by the other party, and he opened the mouth of the bottle by accident and sniffed it carefully.

At this moment, he raised his eyelids slightly and recognized the bottle of elixir: "Good guy, seventh-grade medicine, plague-changing elixir!"

This is the elixir that Yu Lie thought about preparing, but gave up on. It has the effect of resolving all eighth-grade and most seventh-grade toxins and miasma. After taking it, it can also form a medicinal gas in the human body and surroundings. Actively purify every breath of air and spiritual energy that the human body breathes.

This elixir cannot be refined by Yu Lie at present.

Yu Lie turned towards Wa Twelve, raised his hand seriously, and accepted the bottle of elixir.

This incident once again gave Yu Lie a deeper understanding of the treatment of children from wealthy families.

The seventh-grade plague-resolving pill was just something that Wa Twelve took out casually. If he could give it away, he would get a bottle of it. The other party must have something better in his pocket.

Yu Lie sighed in his heart:

"Even if something unexpected happens during this experience, as long as we no longer encounter the same danger as before, Wa Twelve should be able to get through it as easily as an outing."

Just when tens of thousands of people were taking a break.

The first danger they faced when they landed in this strange world came quietly.

This danger does not appear from the left or right of the ground, nor from above, nor is it a person or a living creature. Instead, jet-black auras suddenly emerged from the ground.

The strange black mist enveloped more than 30,000 people in the blink of an eye.

Even the Taoist priest of the Wa family suddenly opened his eyes and reacted when the black mist took shape.

He immediately scanned the surrounding hundreds of feet with his spiritual consciousness, a look of shock and trouble on his face:

"This is the soul-eating mist? What exactly happened in the world this time? The environment has deteriorated to such an extent. Why didn't the palace warn me!"

The Taoist priest of the Wa family immediately conveyed his thoughts with his spiritual consciousness: "Hurry into the air, don't move left and right, hold your breath and stare, and don't use magic on your own!"

But even though he had used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice, as soon as he finished speaking, there were waves of screams on the scene.

"Ah! What is this?"

"My blood vessel, my true energy!"

There was a look of panic, especially among those Taoist disciples who were reluctant to take elixirs to ward off evil spirits when they had just rested.

Their minds were immediately blinded, their eyes were black, and it was difficult to see. When they wanted to use their true energy to sense their surroundings, they were even more frightened, because once their true energy left their bodies, it was taken away by something.

Moreover, the thing also inserted its "tongue" into their bodies along their veins, absorbing the true energy in their bodies, and kept asking for it.

Fortunately, most of the Taoist disciples used talismans and other objects to quickly fly into the air and escape from the black mist that had just risen.

The remaining people are among them.

After all the Taoist disciples who could rush out rushed out, the Taoist priest of the Wa family just stood in mid-air with an embarrassed expression, repeatedly lowering his head to look at the ground and left and right. He had no intention of going into the fog and rescuing the remaining Taoist disciples.

Even the sixth-grade Taoist priests did not dare to enter the black mist. Naturally, Yu Lie and others did not dare even more. They just stayed aside, fearful.

After a while, seeing the black fog showing signs of dissipating soon, the Taoist priest of the Wa family explained in a loud voice:

"This is the soul-eating mist, as the name suggests. This mist can swallow spiritual energy, and it can most restrain spiritual things. If you want to cast spells, use charms and other objects in it, it is not bad. At most, within a few breaths, the charm The effect will be exhausted and disappear. But if you use the spell yourself, the soul-eating mist can invade your body and drain all your spiritual energy!"

When the Taoist disciples heard this, their faces suddenly became frightened, especially some of them looked at the blood vessels in their hands, their faces extremely ugly.

Because the "soul-eating mist" mentioned by the Taoist priests of the Wa family will corrode even blood vessels and destroy the spiritual essence in them.

Someone immediately shouted: "I dare to ask, sir, what should I do if I encounter this fog again?"

Some people said in horror: "Such evil things actually exist in the world. Isn't it just to restrain the practitioners of our generation?"

Yu Lie listened to everyone's discussion, pondered in his mind, and suddenly remembered the origin of the "Soul-Eating Mist".

It is said that in ancient times, 30,000 years ago to be precise, this kind of "soul-eating mist" was still everywhere in the world of mountains and seas. As the Taoist priest of the Wa family said, it specialized in restraining spiritual things, but if mortals walked in it, , it might be okay.

According to Taoist books, this fog is an environment naturally generated after the decline of the world. It is similar to miasma, evil and resentment, which is born underground and naturally pursues spiritual energy.

Without the protection and isolation of the formation, the more Taoists gathered, the greater the range and concentration of the soul-eating mist that could be aroused.

It can be said that this kind of fog is indeed the "natural enemy" of practitioners.

Of course, Yu Lie doesn't know how much of a restraining effect it has on high-level practitioners. However, he looked at the face of the Wa family Taoist priest and guessed that at least for a sixth-grade Taoist priest, the soul-eating mist was not something to be trifled with.

This made Yu Lie narrow his eyes slightly: "It seems that the experience in this world has increased the level of danger more than a little bit compared to the Dragon Court world."

And according to what he understood, the soul-eating fog was just a characteristic of the world's decline. In addition to this fog, there were other disasters that were even more harmful, but he didn't know if this world still existed.

Immediately, a thought came to Yu Lie's mind:

"Should Mao stay in the Taoist camp first, wait until he breaks through to the seventh-grade Taoist priest, and then complete those training tasks and find the remaining elixir of Xie Hanzi?"

Not long after.

Because most of the Taoist disciples were standing in mid-air, at least ten feet apart, the soul-eating mist subsided quickly and soon split into small pieces.

After the small patch of fog subsided, Taoist disciples with pale faces and dark eyes were suddenly revealed on the ground.

Only then did the Wa family Taoist priest stretch out his hand and cast a spell. Thin spiritual energy threads like fishing lines were released one after another, grabbing these Taoist disciples and hanging them high.

He shouted to everyone: "Have you rested enough? Let's set off again!"

Thousands of Taoist disciples were held by this man, as if they were hanging corpses, which was quite intrusive.

Among them, Yu Lie boldly approached these "corpses" and looked at them carefully. He found that the Taoist disciples were not dead. They could move their eyes, but they were all weak and unable to speak.

Falling into the soul-eating mist, all of these thousands of Taoist disciples have had their true energy drained out of their bodies.

Not even a single bit of it is left, and some people even suffer more trauma the more they struggle, and the spiritual energy fixed in the flesh and blood is sucked away, damaging the foundation of the physical body.

It can be said that after this experience, the better ones will have to lie down for seven or eight days before they can recover as before, while the bad ones may not recover for several years. This experience can be regarded as a complete waste.

If they hadn't been rescued by someone, wild dogs could kill them at this moment.

At least his life is saved now, so the situation is not too bad.

for the rest of the time.

Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples followed closely behind the Wa family Taoist priest and rushed towards the nearest camp without daring to rest for a moment.

After four full days and nights.

A high mountain just appeared in their eyes. There was a golden dragon energy hovering on the mountain, like a snake or an insect, emitting a golden light that was very different from the surrounding environment.

When the Taoist disciples saw it, they felt warm as if they were seeing the sun.

"We've finally arrived. We've been going round and round all the way. I thought it would take some more time."

"It seems that the Taoist court has planted a nail in this world. We have fallen here and have no place to stay."

Discussions rang out among the Taoist disciples, and everyone's faces showed excitement. Only the Taoist priest of the Nava family was not very happy after seeing the camp on the high mountain. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yu Lie paid close attention to the Taoist priest of the Wa family and noticed this.

Soon, when he got closer to the camp, he understood why there was not much joy on the face of the Taoist priest of the Wa family.

Because on the way up and down the mountain, there were Taoist disciples coming and going, and they were all looking at their group with caution.

These people were not the Taoist disciples of Qianzhou Dao Palace who arrived at this camp first. Most of their Taoist robes had a golden-red peach embroidered on their breasts.

That person was a member of the Taozhou Dao Palace. He had entered this world early, was safe and sound, and had already begun training!
