Chapter 141 Lihuo's death, Linglong Pagoda

In a mine dozens of miles away from Kuxiu Mountain, Chen An took out the spiral magic weapon and drilled down tirelessly.

The soil and gravel that were drilled out were also thrown into the mine pit nearby.

Not long after, as time passed, dirt and rocks flew everywhere in the long-abandoned mine.

Chen An also drilled to a depth of about five miles underground.

When we got here, streams of gray turbid air began to swirl around the bottom of the hole, like fog.

This is the foul air in the earth veins. Once it is contaminated, it is like a maggot in the tarsal bone and can pollute the body and magic power of a cultivator.

The turbid air in front of him was still relatively thin, so Chen An didn't care. He covered himself with a protective light shield and continued drilling.

But after drilling to a depth of about twenty miles underground, the dark gray turbid air from the earth veins rushed towards them, covering Chen An's protective spiritual shield without leaving a single gap.

"It's not a big problem."

Chen An took a quick look and increased the output of the spirit shield a bit. It was not because this place posed any threat to him, but it was better to be cautious because he could clearly feel that the deeper he went, the greater the erosion of the turbid air in the earth veins.

After resting for a while, Chen An activated his magic weapon and dug to a depth of thirty miles in one go.

The buried turbid air here is completely dark, and it has a certain corrosive effect on even the Nascent Soul level mana. Even if Chen An stays here, he needs to check the spirit shield from time to time to replenish its mana in time.

Otherwise, there is a risk of injury if you are not careful.

Moreover, the buried turbid air also has the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness, and the range that Chen An can detect deep underground is not large.

As the cave continued to go deeper into the ground, Chen An also used magic to reinforce the surrounding stone walls to prevent collapse and bury him in the cave.

But soon, he found that more than half of his magic power had been lost.

With nearly half of his magic power, although the erosion of the earth veins by the turbid air becomes stronger the deeper he drills, he can still barely reach the target depth by continuing to drill.

But in order to prevent any accidents, Chen An decided to go up and rest for a while. Otherwise, if there was any danger inside and his magic power was exhausted, he would be doomed.

After jumping out of the cave, Chen An looked around and saw that the mine, which was originally overgrown with grass and trees, was now covered with a thick layer of soil and gravel. It was completely unrecognizable from its original appearance, as if it had returned to being desolate.

Looking back at the pitch-black cave, Chen An went forward to check. The turbid air in the earth veins was sinking air, so there was no need to worry about it gushing out through the cave entrance.

However, he still cautiously waved his hand to set up a magical restriction.

After doing all this, Chen An jumped up, his body turned into rainbow light, and returned to the north mountain of Kuxiu Mountain.

During the time he was away, everything in Beishan was normal.

Chen Shuang was still in a corner of the spiritual field, sitting cross-legged beside Yu Linglong and practicing without interruption.

"Wang!"

The black-haired beast looked at Chen An with resentment and a face full of grievance.

Although it can now speak human language, it still prefers to communicate in the same way as before.

Chen An shook his head helplessly and said, "If you feel hungry in the future, go to the outer spiritual fields and find a spiritual herb to eat. But remember, don't steal the fourth-level spiritual herbs. If you eat them and damage your body, I won't care."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired beast's worry turned into joy, and it happily dived into the spiritual field. As soon as it turned around, it came out with a piece of Golden Crow grass in its mouth.

With Chen Shuang supervising the spiritual field, there is no need to worry about it stealing food.

After returning to the cave, Chen An took out a bottle of Yuanshuilu and took a sip.

He immediately started practicing his skills, silently restoring the magic power in his Dantian.

Deep in Black Wind Mountain.

A cold wind blew past, blowing up the dust on the ground and filling the area with sand and dust.

After a long time, the wind and sand gradually stopped, revealing the figures of more than a dozen monks here.

The two groups of people gathered together and kept exchanging the storage bags in their hands.

After a long time.

"The goods are fine. Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Zhan put away the storage bag in his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After the transaction was completed, the Yinmo Sect monk, who was dressed in black and had a murderous aura, said goodbye and left with his men without saying a word.

"This guy is so boring. Will he die if he says one more word?"

Chen Zhan curled his lips and complained in his heart.

Ever since the Black Wind Market and Yinmo City started cooperating, the two sides have been exchanging a batch of goods needed by the other party every once in a while, sharing what they have.

Over the past few years, the Black Wind Market has not only seen a huge increase in revenue and a new high in population flow, but has also collected a lot of rare treasures.

"Okay, let's go back quickly."

Chen Zishun reminded: "They are just following orders. The other party is a demon cultivator, even though he is Chen Fengshuo's subordinate, it is better to have less contact with him."

"What's there to be afraid of? Not to mention that Chen Fengshuo is also a member of my Chen family. With Elder Chen An here, what kind of waves can he cause?"

Chen Zhan's voice suddenly stopped. He suddenly looked sharply at the dense weeds not far away and shouted loudly: "Who! Come out!"

Chen Zishun, who was beside him, raised his eyebrows and threw out a talisman. A fire dragon about ten feet long roared out and swept over.

The fire dragon's tail swept past, and the flames spread, burning the tuft of weeds completely and turning it into ashes, revealing the figure of a female cultivator in palace dress who was lying unconscious on the ground, dying.

"I won't let you burn to death!"

Chen Zhan looked at Chen Zishun strangely and walked forward to check the situation.

"This is Ning Jianqin, the head of Tianyin Pavilion!"

Chen Zishun exclaimed. He had seen the other person from afar during the last Infant Formation Ceremony, so he naturally recognized him.

"A Jindan cultivator?"

Although Chen Zhan had never seen the other person, he had heard of this name.

The two looked at each other and took a quick look, and found that the woman's life force was extremely weak, with only one breath left.

The north mountain of Kuxiu Mountain.

"Wang!"

Chen An had just recovered his magic power when he heard a dog barking outside, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Elder, we have brought back the Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion."

Chen Zhan shouted and hurried into the cave carrying Ning Jianqin on his back.

"Picked it up?"

Chen An frowned slightly as he looked at Ning Jianqin, who was lying flat in front of him, dying and with a face as pale as paper.

Chen Zhan ran all the way here, breathing evenly, and told everyone what he saw and heard in Black Wind Mountain.

After learning what happened, Chen An frowned even more tightly: "Didn't she go to stop the Five Poison Demons? Did she fail to kill them?"

He muttered something, grasped the other person's wrist, and inserted a stream of magic power to check.

"The magic power has been consumed too much, the foundation has been damaged, and the five poisonous evil spirits have penetrated into the internal organs. It is difficult to cure." Chen An shook his head.

"What should we do then? Send her body to Tianyin Pavilion?"

When Chen Zhan heard Chen An's words, he was about to carry Ning Jianqin again.

"Nonsense, the person is not dead yet!"

Chen An hurriedly stopped her. He had a crush on this woman and wanted to save her. Of course, it was not a romantic crush, but he just admired her for her years of preparation to save her Taoist partner. But apart from that, he was more motivated by the Dream Crystal.

After pondering for a moment, he mobilized a powerful magic power, transferred it into the other person's body, circulated it through the five internal organs, and temporarily suppressed the five poisonous evil spirits.

He immediately took out a resurrection pill harvested from the sixty-year-old resurrection grass, and a perfect quality soul-replenishing pill, and flew them into the other person's mouth one after another with a snap of his fingers, mobilizing his magic power to dissolve the medicinal power.

The poisonous gas was temporarily suppressed, and the dried body was nourished. After a few hours, Ning Jianqin slowly woke up.

"Senior Chen, where is this? Have the Five Poison Demons and the Extreme Yin Patriarch come after us?"

Ning Jianqin's delicate voice sounded, and she looked around in panic.

Chen An explained, "It was my Chen family who rescued you from Black Wind Mountain. The five poisonous energy in your body has been suppressed. You are fine for the time being, but you must recover first before you can expel the five poisons. Otherwise, your life will be in danger if you wait too long."

"Thank you for saving my life, Master."

Chen An waved his hand and asked, "Didn't you cooperate with the two Nascent Souls to stop the Five Poison Demons? Why are you so seriously injured? Also, why did you mention the Extreme Yin Ancestor just now?"

Logically speaking, with the cooperation of the fourth and third level Nascent Soul cultivators, they can stop the fourth level Nascent Soul Five Poison Demons. Ning Jianqin has been preparing for many years. Although the sneak attack will not crush her, it should be easy to capture her.

Hearing this, Ning Jianqin's eyes were filled with sorrow, and tears flowed from her beautiful eyes: "I thought it was foolproof, but who would have thought that the Five Poisons Demon Woman would actually team up with the Ji Yin Ancestor to set up a plan to lure me over, just to kill the Lihuo Ancestor."

"Master Yuheng was seriously injured and fled, and Patriarch Lihuo died. I was far away, so I saw that the situation was not good when they were fighting, so I escaped. Although I was hit by the Five Poisons Demon Woman from a distance, I also used a secret method to escape successfully. I can be said to have saved my life. Unfortunately, I failed to save Zou Ang."

Chen An was surprised: "Li Huo is dead?"

Ning Jianqin sighed silently and said, "That's right, the Ji Yin Patriarch's injuries have not healed yet, but I don't know when he colluded with the Five Poisonous Demons and plotted to kill the Lihuo Patriarch. Judging from his tone, I'm afraid that his next step will be to turn around and plot against the Far East Six Regions!"

Chen An touched his chin and thought to himself that maybe Patriarch Ji Yin knew that he had defeated Xun Liang and Blood Crocodile one after another, and was afraid that he and Li Huo would join forces to fight against him, so he killed Li Huo first and planned to deal with him alone later.

This means that Ji Yin might come to Kuxiu Mountain someday.

Chen An sighed silently, why not just focus on practicing magic? You are already old and you don’t have to travel so far.

"You should recover first."

Chen An left a cold remark, then asked Chen Shuang to look after Ning Jianqin, while he took Chen Zhan out of the cave.

He ordered: "Go to Yinmo Sect and tell Chen Fengshuo to focus his energy on Jiyin Sect recently. If the other party makes any move, report it immediately."

"Yes!"

After Chen Zhan took the order and left, Chen An pondered for a moment and jumped to the mine cave.

Looking at the dark hole in the ground, he released the spiritual shield to protect his body and jumped down.

I took out the underground fire compass at the bottom, and the needle on it pointed to around five, which meant that the bottom of the cave was about five miles away from the underground fire.

With this little distance left, Chen An couldn't give up and planned to get through it in one go.

As the spiral magic weapon rotated, gravel at the bottom of the cave flew everywhere. When enough gravel had accumulated, Chen An put it into storage bags and went outside to scatter it in the mine.

With repeated trips back and forth, the needle on the Earth-Mars compass slowly approached zero.

Soon, Chen An dug to a depth of about forty miles. He focused his eyes, increased his mana output, and activated the spiral magic weapon, spinning it downwards with force.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a large amount of rock below collapsed, revealing a huge pit, and a wave of hot air rushed in wildly.

All I saw below was a sea of ​​red fire, and the rolling underground fire was like a series of fire dragons, gushing out violently.

“Finally it’s been connected.”

Chen An nodded with satisfaction. With the spiritual shield protecting him, the earth fire could not hurt him at all.

"what?"

Chen An discovered that there was a small cave a few feet away, which seemed to have been eroded by underground fire for many years.

He immediately activated the spiral magic weapon and quickly connected this place with the cave, saving him a lot of effort in digging.

Scanning the relatively spacious caves nearby, Chen An found a place close to the underground fire, took out the seeds of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma, lightly stroked it with his finger, and a crack appeared on the rock on the ground. Then he carefully planted the seeds.

This was not enough, he waved his hand and drew a ball of magma from the nearby underground fire and sprinkled it around the seeds, but did not touch the seeds, otherwise the cracks would be sealed and the seeds would die.

After finishing all this, looking at the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma that was slowly absorbing the earth's fire energy, Chen An felt that all his efforts were not in vain.

After checking the surroundings and making sure that there were no destabilizing factors that would affect the growth of the spirit seeds, he jumped out of the cave, sealed the cave entrance tightly with his magic power, and returned to Kuxiu Mountain.

He didn't know when the Ji Yin Patriarch would attack, so he had to prepare early.

However, there is the Ten Thousand Blood Killing God Formation on the mountain. Even if the other party comes, it will probably be a waste. Chen An is not worried.

After returning to Beishan, Chen An did not enter the cave, but instead came to Lingtian Yu Linglong.

"Go wait outside first."

After Chen An gave an order, Chen Shuang obediently stood up and walked out of the spiritual field.

This kind of thing happens every once in a while, and Chen Shuang has long been used to it.

Looking at the several Yu Linglong plants in front of him that were between three hundred and six hundred years old, Chen An's heart moved and he walked forward.

[Harvest a 300-year-old Jade Linglong and obtain the Lingbao Linglong Pagoda]

Jiyin Gate, in a hall on a thousand-foot-high peak.

"Ahem. Five Poison Fairy, thank you for your help before. You joined hands with me to kill Lihuo."

At this time, the old ancestor Ji Yin looked pale and sick. He sat upright in the main hall of his own sect, looking at the slim, beautiful and charming middle-aged woman in front of him. His expression was slightly frozen, showing a bit of unnaturalness.

"What are you thanking me for? Didn't we agree that this would become a joint practice with me? Why don't you admit it?"

The Five Poison Demon Lord glared at the older Ji Yin Ancestor in front of him with a look of impatience.

If it weren't for the other party's Nascent Soul cultivation level, the effect of one collection of essence would be far greater than that of a Jindan cultivator, and could help her break through the Nascent Soul bottleneck. Otherwise, she would look down on this wrinkled old man.

The face of the Ji Yin Patriarch turned stern, and he said hurriedly: "Fairy, you are joking. Now that Chen An has not been killed and Li Huo is dead, the matter has not really been accomplished yet!"

He shrank back unconsciously. It sounded nice to say it was dual cultivation, but to put it bluntly, it was just one-sided cultivation. It was beneficial to the other party's cultivation, but he was the one who suffered.

But in order for this to happen, he had to commit himself temporarily.

"Hmph, just remember this. If you regret it later, my Five Poisons will not be tolerated!"

"I, Ji Yin, will certainly keep my promise. Ahem, my injuries are not healed yet, so I will have to rely on the fairy when the time comes."

Ancestor Ji Yin couldn't help but cough twice, and his face became paler.

"You're quite sensible!"

The Five Poison Demon Lord's eyes flashed coldly, and demonic energy surged throughout his body. Seeing that the face of the Ji Yin Ancestor was sick, the disgust in his expression increased a little more. He then slowly stood up, twisted his slender waist, and walked out of the hall.

When she reached the door, she looked back and said, "Tell me as soon as you are ready. Don't make me wait too long."

After the other party left and confirmed that he had left the range of the Jiyin Sect, the Jiyin Patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, his complexion regained its rosy color, without any sign of illness at all.

"You fierce woman, you will be in trouble after I have finished refining the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet!"

The Ji Yin Patriarch cursed inwardly, and then a yin aura lingered in front of him, and a man with a cold face faintly emerged. He was quite similar to the Ji Yin Patriarch, but his expression was dull and there was no life at all.

This was the puppet body that he had condensed from the bodies of countless dead monks during his previous battle with the Six Regions of the Far East.

Unfortunately, it was only half completed, and even the soul had not been generated, so its power was really limited.

"Ancestor Lihuo is dead. I will quietly go to the northern sect of the Far East Six Regions and offer a blood sacrifice to the mortals and cultivators there. This puppet will be completely cultivated. By then, I can not only kill Chen An, but also that fierce woman. She is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which is just right for her to be the main soul of my puppet!"

The eyes of the old ancestor Ji Yin were cold and he glanced viciously in the direction where the Five Poison Demon Lord left. How could it be so easy to take the energy from the old ancestor?
They are just supporting roles on the ancestor’s road to becoming an immortal!

I, the ancestor, have planned everything, how could I fail?!
