Chapter 205: Monks from the Outside World

Lin Changqing picked up the second jade slip, put it to his forehead and read it. The content of this jade slip was not very long, and he finished reading it in a short while.

The main content is a simple map, a list of names of markets, and some strange contact information.

There were only contact information but no contact persons, a total of twenty-five of them. To Lin Changqing, this felt like a secret organization that could not be seen in public.

But these are not the point. The point is the names of the markets on the list. He has never heard of any of them, and he immediately had a guess in his mind.

So in order to verify this guess, Lin Changqing took out the jade map slip that his grandfather gave him and carefully searched and compared it.

He really couldn't find the names of these twenty-five cities on his own map jade slip. There wasn't even a single identical one. When compared with that simple map, there was even less of a match.

The only explanation now is that this cultivator is not from any force within the six sects of Qingyun, and is most likely an outsider.

This aroused Lin Changqing's great interest. In fact, through the jade map given to him by his grandfather, he already knew the geographical environment of the six Qingyun sects.

To the northeast, east, and southeast of the six sects is the endless Qingyun Mountains. This place is the territory of monsters, among which there are quite a few fifth-level monsters, and there are probably also sixth-level monsters.

The south and west are surrounded by an endless sea of ​​monsters, and the north is a very vast grassland.

The fifty acres of alfalfa planted in Lin Changliu's inner space came from the northern grasslands, but that place was no longer within the sphere of influence of the six Qingyun sects.

It is ruled by another force, and the Tianxing Sword Sect borders that force.

Now Lin Changqing is wondering whether this monk came from the grassland or other more remote areas, and how he came here?
Then he picked up the third jade slip and placed it directly on his forehead to read it. There was more content in this jade slip, and it also answered some of Lin Changqing's questions.

The front part of this jade slip records Zhao Zihong's experience and insights in cultivation from the Qi Refining Stage to the Purple Mansion Great Perfection.

It also includes some problems encountered and the methods used to solve them, which may be of some reference value to Lin Changqing, but this is not the point.

The latter part is similar to a self-narration. The main content can be summarized as follows: the sect to which Zhao Zihong belongs, the Black Soul Sect, is one of the top sects in the Qixuan Continent.

There is a True Lord of Transformation of God in the sect, dozens of True Lords of Nascent Soul, and countless True Lords of Golden Core.

The territory ruled by this force is extremely vast, but because of its martial arts, it has always regarded the mortals under its rule as cattle and sheep, and the souls of cultivators from other sects as resources for its cultivation.

The situation changed because a Jindan Zhenren from the Black Soul Sect refined the great-great-grandson of a Huashen Zhenzun from the Hunyuan Sect into soul liquid, which eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Black Soul Sect.

This triggered a joint siege of the Black Soul Sect by various factions in the Qixuan Continent, which ultimately led to the destruction and expulsion of the Black Soul Sect. All of the Black Soul Sect's skills were banned, and some were even destroyed on the spot.

From a top force to a rat crossing the street, the disciples of the sect were hunted down by various factions. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The disciples of the Black Soul Sect fled in all directions.

Some simply changed their skills and transformed themselves, some stayed there from then on, and some even found ways to escape to other continents.

Zhao Zihong was being chased by someone. Later, by chance, he entered a dangerous place to hide, and found a huge magic circle in a secret place.

Zhao Zihong recognized that this was a long-distance teleportation array. With an idea in mind, he placed the top-grade spirit stone without thinking too much, then directly activated the teleportation and left, intending to use this long-distance teleportation array to escape from his enemy's pursuit.

Unexpectedly, this teleportation almost cost him his life, because this huge magic array was indeed a teleportation array, but it was an ultra-long-distance teleportation array across continents, and Zhao Zihong did not have any special long-distance teleportation token protection on him.

During the teleportation, he was injured by the space compression, and the two defensive magic weapons on his body were also damaged during the teleportation, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on until the end of the teleportation. But after arriving here, he was already seriously injured, and it was a rare space attribute injury. He consumed all the elixirs on his body to treat internal and external injuries, but there was no improvement.

In the end, he could only feel unwilling and left behind a rough record. Not long after, his injuries broke out completely and he died next to the inter-continental teleportation array.

These were roughly the contents of the jade slip. As for what that piece of black wood was, there was not a single record of it, which made Lin Changqing a little disappointed.

Maybe this is also his secret, just like Lin Changqing's secret, it will not be recorded in any form.

In fact, after seeing the things inside this storage bracelet, Lin Changqing himself had a bold guess.

It was obvious that Zhao Zihong had been in this place for a long time. From the fact that all the elixirs in the jade box had rotted and the pills had turned into dregs, it could be inferred that he had been dead for a long time.

Theoretically, the soul should return to reincarnation, but the black light just now, although it did not speak, made several screams, proving that it was the soul of a cultivator.

Therefore, the biggest possibility is that the black light is Zhao Zihong's soul, and that piece of black wood can protect Zhao Zihong's soul from extinction and can also penetrate Lin Changqing's seven layers of defense.

This proves that the piece of black wood has the effect of nourishing and protecting the soul. It is very likely the soul-nourishing wood, one of the three famous sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation.

The colors do match, but it looks quite thin, only slightly thicker than chopsticks.

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing was already a little impatient, but just in case, he still did not touch the black wood himself.

Instead, he released a purple crystal scorpion from the spirit beast bracelet and let it go over and pick up the piece of black wood first.

Then after a while, seeing that the Amethyst Scorpion was still alive and well, Lin Changqing prepared to take the piece of black wood and study it.

Suddenly he remembered that this thing had been worn by someone else and had been hanging on the corpse for so long. Lin Changqing couldn't help it and performed the water ball technique many times. After washing it seven or eight times in total, he finally felt it was clean.

I held it in my hand and looked at it carefully. It was black and heavy. Then I carefully brought it to my nose and smelled it. Fortunately, there was no smell.

It is only about two inches long, slightly thicker than chopsticks, and tied with a piece of translucent silk.

To be honest, I didn't feel anything special when I held it in my hand, so Lin Changqing decided to try wearing it around his neck.

Do it as soon as you think of it. After putting it on closely, Lin Changqing found a clean place to sit down, concentrated his mind and felt it carefully. Sure enough, an extremely weak purple energy was transmitted to the sea of ​​consciousness and absorbed by the soul.

But this energy is so weak that if you don’t observe it carefully, you might just overlook it.

But although it is extremely weak, it is continuous. There may be no change in one or two months, but after three or five years, it will definitely accumulate into a big change. It is like a silent influence, and the soul will become stronger without knowing it.

But this was not what Lin Changqing was thinking about. As for the elixir that could strengthen the soul, Lin Changqing had the Earth Soul Fruit, but he was not very interested in it. Lin Changqing had already thought of how to use this piece of black wood.

It is to be worn by newborn babies in the family to slowly nourish and strengthen their spirits and souls. In this way, if they have spiritual roots and can practice in the future, they will be one step ahead of others.

But before you have children, you'd better keep this thing with you. Maybe after a while, you can discover other secrets of this piece of black wood.

Even now, Lin Changqing is not sure that this piece of black wood is the soul-nourishing wood. But it doesn’t matter. The thing is already in his hands, and he will figure it out in the future.
