Chapter 40: Haunted by Demons
Xiang Tian looked at the surrounding mist surrounding the entire mountain peak, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "What a Dantian Cave, I didn't expect that this place of alchemy was actually wrapped in Dan Qi, thereby improving the quality of the pill." ”
Those who can emit this kind of Dan Mist can only be effective if they refine a large number of earth-grade spirit pills, and the Imperial Soul Sect has been open for nearly 10,000 years, and it can be said that it can have this scale in such a long time.
In the middle of this mountain, it is a wide flat land opened up by the disciples of the sect, and in the middle of the flat land, there are several halls of different sizes, among which the most magnificent hall is the "Dantian Palace" cast with gold lacquer, which looks a little less elegant for cultivators and a little more secular luxury.
After Xiang Tian came here, he had to descend and walk into this Dantian Hall on foot.
"Hmm, dare to ask where this junior disciple came from, and what is the important matter of coming to my Dantian Palace?" Xiang Tian had just walked a few steps when a young man wearing the costume of a disciple of the outer sect of the Dantian Cave greeted him.
"This senior brother is polite, in the next Xiang Tian, he is the fourth personal disciple of the Netherworld Cave Netherworld Ancestor, and he came here today to conduct a Danshi assessment. Xiang Tian saw that the person who came was an outer disciple, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately returned the salute and said lightly.
"Assessing Danshi? Oh, no problem. This cave has set up a special Danshi assessment place, which will be held once a season, as long as the senior brother comes on time. The young man was slightly stunned, thinking that Xiang Tian had come to take the elixir on the orders of his elders, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a famous elixir.
"That's it! Dare to ask this junior brother, when is the next assessment time. And what are the precautions for the assessment of this Dan master, and please ask the junior brother to solve the doubts?" Xiang Tian calmed down, and immediately hugged his fists and said.
The disciple didn't hide it, turned over his hand and took out a wooden card, and handed it to Xiang Tiandao: "That's right, the next Danshi assessment will be twenty days later, supervised by Elder Yunwei of this cave, if the senior brother wants to participate, you can use this wooden card as a voucher." ”
"During the Danshi assessment, each assessment disciple will be assigned to an alchemy room separately for three days, as long as one furnace is refined, and finally the quality of the test will be judged whether to obtain the Danshi qualification. Of course, the materials for alchemy are all provided by the disciples who participated in the assessment. ”
"After passing, the overseer elder will take out one of the refined pills as a passing fee, and if they fail, they will not be allowed to participate in the Danshi examination again for one year. ”
"Oh, I see, thank you for telling me this junior brother, and I will take my leave first. Xiang Tian took the wooden card, immediately arched his hand, and then returned the same way.
After Xiang Tian returned to his cave mansion, he thought to himself for a while, and then came to the town boundary monument space.
"I really didn't expect that the assessment of this Dan Master would be so difficult, alas!" Xiang Tian walked to the medicine garden, looking at the spirit grass with the five elements attribute that had begun to grow, and his heart couldn't help but turn.
"If you pass the Dan Master assessment, I'm afraid you will have to use the Heavenly Blood Gel Pill to refine the Little Five Elements Pill. However, these spirit grasses have not yet grown, and they can't use the thousand-year-old spirit grass to attract people's attention, so they can only wait for a while. ”
After making up his mind, Xiang Tian looked around again, the stele spirit was now studying those rune prohibitions, and he didn't have time to take care of Xiang Tian. The latter didn't want to disturb the spirit of the stele, so he immediately dodged into the refining room again, and only after a long time did he retreat from the town boundary stele.
......
Three days later, a black mist flashed outside the city, and if others didn't pay attention, they thought it was just an illusion.
Within a moment, I saw that the black fog came straight to the periphery of the mass grave outside the Heavenly Wound City, and then the black fog disappeared with a bang, and was replaced by a young man in a black shirt and bucket trousers. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a mass grave, I am afraid that others would have thought that he was a young man next door.
"Huh! I didn't expect that I, Xiang Tian, would actually come here again. Xiang Tian looked at the familiar scenery around him, and sighed with some emotion.
At the beginning, his status was low, and he couldn't buy a flying magic weapon, so he took a carriage and spent half a month to come here. And now his identity is no longer what it used to be, and even his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi training, so he took three days to control the Hundred Ghost Flags and came here.
Looking at the sky before noon, Xiang Tian also knew that it was impossible for this ghost to be stupid enough to come out at this time. But don't forget, Xiang Tian now has a hundred ghost flags in his hands.
Although this hundred ghost flags are used in battle, after all, they belong to the ghost magic weapon, and they are also very sensitive to ghost things, and this ghost thing is only hidden in a mass grave, not evaporated in the world, so Xiang Tian can find out these ghost things one by one as long as he uses the ability of the hundred ghost flags to sense ghosts.
As for why he chose this time instead of acting at night, it was also because during the day, the ability of ghost creatures was greatly weakened, even if it was a ghost thing comparable to Xiang Tianxiu, the latter could easily capture it.
"Truly, a group of little ghosts, I still want to fight with your grandfather and me, see if I don't lock you in the town boundary monument this time, and turn all of you into my ghost servants. ”
Xiang Tian held the Hundred Ghost Banner in his hand with one hand, only to see that its mana was urged, and the Hundred Ghost Banner suddenly released a ghost mist, instantly enveloping the radius of ten zhang.
"Huh? It's really deep enough to hide. As soon as Xiang Tianfang urged the Hundred Ghost Banners, he felt that among the rocks under his feet, there was actually a dormant group of ghosts.
"Damn, it won't be such a coincidence!" Xiang Tian was also taken aback, he didn't expect this ghost thing to be dormant at his feet, if he came at night, I am afraid that he would have been attacked by this ghost thing a long time ago.
Because the mana of the Hundred Ghost Banners covered this place, the ghost thing also began to recover, and I saw this ghost thing slowly squirming, and then emerged from Xiang Tian's feet.
"Whew!" Xiang Tian took advantage of the fact that the ghost thing had not fully awakened, and immediately changed the law in his hand, only to see a black giant claw flash out of thin air from Xiang Tian's hand, and he grabbed the ghost thing in his hand.
At this time, the group of ghosts seemed to sense the aura of danger, and saw that the speed of its squirming accelerated rapidly, but where was Xiang Tian willing to let it succeed, he saw a flash of light on his chest, directly enveloping the group of ghosts.
"Close!" Xiang Tian shouted, only to see that the ghost thing entered Xiang Tian's body along the light of light.
Xiang Tianshennian moved slightly, and only then did he realize that there was a fist-sized ghost in the place where the soul was locked in the town boundary monument, and it was motionless there. Seeing this, Xiang Tian's face couldn't help but be happy, and he immediately put the soul bead that he had obtained from Luo Yi's hand into it.
The ghost creature seemed to smell the breath of extreme longing, and saw it quickly lean towards the soul bead, and then slowly fell silent.
"It seems that it is really convenient to have these hundred ghost flags! With this kind of ghost catching efficiency, the number of I caught this day will be more than the previous sum combined. Feeling the yin wind swirling around, Xiang Tian was not surprised, and immediately urged the hundred ghost flags and began to wander around the periphery of the mass grave......
Although Xiang Tian's current strength was only the sixth layer of Qi training, the strength of his divine thoughts was comparable to that of the ninth layer of Qi training. After learning the lesson just now, Xiang Tian also learned well this time, only to see him holding his breath and concentrating, secretly using his divine sense to probe every move around here.
With Xiang Tian's current divine thought strength, he could almost detect a radius of about 100 zhang in the Dao, and any clue would be detected by him. However, if Xiang Tianzhen did this, his divine thought consumption speed would be greatly accelerated, and because of the large area of detection, his energy would not be able to bear it.
After repeated experiments, Xiang Tian finally discovered that as long as he diffused one-third of his divine consciousness, then his consumption rate and recovery rate would remain in a relatively stable state. In addition, it still has to reserve some energy to grasp ghost things, so the range of divine consciousness it spreads out is only about 20 zhang in radius.
Sure enough, after this divine thought spread out, within the range of ten zhang shrouded by the hundred ghost flags, Xiang Tian immediately felt the fluctuation of three or four ghost things, as for the vicinity of ten zhang to twenty zhang, although without the help of the hundred ghost flags, Xiang Tian could not be sure whether there were any ghost things, but he could also prevent some unnecessary dangers.
Xiang Tian grabbed these discovered ghost objects one by one with the giant spirit claw, and then put them into the town boundary monument without looking at them.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiang Tian had already caught a lot of ghosts, looking at the surrounding yin wind, and the yin qi began to thicken, Xiang Tian did not continue to stay. If you can catch ghosts during the day and effortlessly, why risk doing such a thankless task at night.
As the surrounding yin qi continued to increase, I saw that its figure moved, but it was evacuated a few zhang away, and then it was a dodge, and he directly drove the hundred ghost flags out of this mass grave.
"Whew!" As the wind howled, a large number of ghosts began to emerge in this mass grave, and they roamed around slowly as always, roaring, or fighting and devouring each other......
After Xiang Tian got out of the mass grave, he directly entered the city of heavenly wounds. He looked around and saw that the shops around him had begun to light lanterns, and the roadside stalls were still lively, so he didn't stay too much at the moment, so he found an inn and stayed.
"Guest officer, please inside!" The little guy at the inn enthusiastically led Xiang Tian to the guest room, and waved him down without waiting for him to say anything.
After closing the door, Xiang Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, and after a while, he saw his figure blur and disappear in place.
"Phew, let's start checking out today's harvest. After entering the space of the town boundary monument, Xiang Tian glanced at the stone slab in front of him. The data above was still those, which also made the latter lose the idea of looking any further, and turned around and entered the cave in the town boundary monument.
"One hundred, two hundred...... Seven hundred, seven hundred five, seven hundred sixty-two. In one day today, a total of 762 ghosts were caught!"
Now in front of Xiang Tian, there is a black pagoda, the tower is about two zhang high, a total of three floors. In the center of it, the soul bead was suspended in it, and there were dense ghosts gathered around it, so they could only stay there honestly, not daring to move.
After Xiang Tian checked these ghost things, he didn't rush to train them into ghost servants, only to see that he flipped over with one hand, and a black wooden ring directly appeared in his hand, faintly flashing with a cold cold light.
Xiang Tian looked at this black wooden ring and muttered in a low voice, "Since the Ancestor gave me this 'Ten Thousand Ghosts', I haven't seen its power. Although there are not more than 10,000 ghosts here, it is enough to bring out the strength of this thing. ”
