The Rise of the Shen Family

Shen Ruiling found that the black fog around him had disappeared, so he stopped his lifeless dash. Then he turned around to see what was going on.

Shen Ruiling saw that his red sword and metal pieces fell to the ground, but the terrifying grimace had disappeared. The surrounding area has returned to its original state, except for some traces of fighting, the black lotus in the pool is still swaying its petals.

Shen Ruiling put away the magic tool on the ground, and found that the cracks on the metal sheet had repaired a lot, and the color became more and more strange, with bright red blood in the black, and a trace of black mist lingered in it.

Slowly approaching the water pool, he is now trying to find out if there is any relic of the man surnamed Chu left, and he has to rely on his map and marine artifact to escape from here.

It didn't take long for a corpse to appear in front of Shen Ruiling's eyes. At this time, the man surnamed Chu had a dark face and a face full of horror. You could see how panicked he was at the moment of death.

It is unknown why the man surnamed Chu left his body while the middle-aged scholar and the old man turned into blood mist.

Shen Ruiling found the map from the arms of the man surnamed Chu. The map marked the route from entering the outer sea, as well as the spheres of influence of some third-order monsters, and marked several small islands for people to rest and compare directions.

It can be seen that the person who left this map has spent a lot of time and can inquire about the sphere of influence of the third-order monsters. I am afraid it is a foundation-building cultivator.

Shen Ruiling found the storage jade box of the man surnamed Chu next to him. Although the soul of the man surnamed Chu was restrained, after all, everyone was dead, so there was no power to stop Shen Ruiling from opening it.

Inside the jade storage box, Shen Ruiling found a second-order talisman and several bottles of medicinal herbs, opened the caps and smelled them. The two bottles were Xuan Yuan Dan, which Shen Ruiling was familiar with.

Shen Ruiling opened another bottle, a fresh and refreshing feeling made Shen Ruiling comfortable for a while, and she felt light in her body.

"This should be the Xisui Dan."

Although Shen Ruiling had never seen it before, he recognized it with the instinct of an alchemist.

The rest are a few middle-grade spirit stones and an ancient book. It was the ancient book that attracted Shen Ruiling. Everything that happened here should be able to know the answer.

Shen Ruiling touched it and looked at it.

This book records that a base-building friar stumbled upon this place during an offshore expedition. Then he disturbed the black lotus in the water, and after a fight, he found that the black lotus had the strange supernatural ability to swallow people's souls.

After the Foundation Establishment cultivator escaped from the deadly battle, he returned to the sect to consult a large number of books, only to find this strange black lotus in an ancient book. It was only when the base-building cultivator knew its name "Nether Ghost Lotus".

"Nether Ghost Lotus... No wonder she has a grimace." Shen Ruiling couldn't help but murmured after reading this.

The base-building cultivator learned that the ghost lotus is a unique third-order elixir, which was extinct in the ancient times, and it was unexpected that he would encounter it by himself. The pill recipe left over from ancient times, the Six Yin Soul Pill, uses the lotus seeds of these strange flowers as the main medicine.

This pill can instantly make the cultivator of the Great Perfection of Qi possess the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator in the early stage of foundation establishment, and last for three hours.

You must know that the power of a foundation-building cultivator's spiritual consciousness lies in its ability to look inside. In this way, when building a foundation, you can better control the spiritual power, observe the changes in the body, and improve the success rate of foundation building.

However, the general Qi Dzogchen cultivator relies on a bit of spiritual consciousness generated during the Qi training period, and cannot penetrate into the body to observe at all, and can only control the spiritual power by relying on his own feelings, which increases the risk of foundation building.

The foundation-building cultivator was immediately overjoyed. Although he had already established the foundation, such a panacea could still be exchanged for a lot of spiritual stones.

However, the ghost attack of Nether Ghost Lotus is difficult to resist even if he has established the foundation. After rummaging through all the ancient books of the sect, he found that as long as three souls in the late stage of Qi training are swallowed by Nether Ghost Lotus, the attack effect of this flower will be weakened. , that's when it's time to take it.

But all three of them have to be extremely powerful souls.

It needs to be a bit higher than the strength of the soul in the late stage of normal qi training.

Of course, the three monks who practiced the Great Perfection of Qi are the most suitable sacrifices. The foundation-building monk also did the same. After obtaining the lotus seeds, he did not destroy the lotus root, and planned to let it grow again in a few hundred years. .

The cultivator later started a family, and wrote these secrets into the book, and left behind maps and pill recipes. He also hoped that future generations could obtain rare treasures like him, and the family could go on forever.

After reading so much, Shen Ruiling was really dumbfounded. He also knew that what the man surnamed Chu was plotting was the lotus seeds of this ghostly lotus.

But he himself only has the cultivation base of the Great Perfection of Qi, and he will definitely not go with three people who have practiced the Great Perfection of Qi. Maybe he has not trapped them himself, but was killed by them.

Therefore, the man surnamed Chu had no choice but to find three alchemists whose spiritual consciousness was stronger than the average late stage of Qi training. He seduced the three of them step by step, and even threw out treasures like Jiuzhuan Jinzhi. Find a cultivation base lower than your own,

It is even more painstaking management and the use of flower poison that controls people's spirits, which can make people hallucinate and make people mistake the ghost lotus in the water pool as a Jiuzhuan Jinzhi that can build a foundation.

But I didn't expect that Shen Ruiling didn't get hit, so he wasn't controlled by drugs, so he didn't rush to Nether Ghost Lotus without hesitation.

However, the man surnamed Chu did not find that there was one less sacrifice, thinking that he was done and ready to pick the ghost lotus. As a result, it was regarded as the third sacrifice, which weakened the attack of Nether Ghost Lotus, which also allowed Shen Ruiling to save his life in the next struggle.

The man surnamed Chu did not even think that Shen Ruiling would absorb poison, and he was not confounded and controlled by him. In the end, Shen Ruiling was cheap.

Shen Ruiling also had a look of excitement on his face. He had unknowingly got a great opportunity. Although he passed by the god of death every time along the way, the harvest was not cheap.

Shen Ruiling searched again in the sleeve of the man surnamed Chu, and finally found the boat-shaped magic weapon. Without it, Shen Ruiling might have stayed here for the rest of his life.

Just when Shen Ruiling was about to get up, a jade plaque exposed halfway outside attracted Shen Ruiling. When I took it out, it turned out to be an identity jade card.

"Outer disciple of Wuji Sect, Chu Su."

This person is actually a disciple of the Wuji Sect. The Wuji Sect is the same behemoth as the Qingyun Sect. Although it is only an outer sect disciple, Shen Ruiling does not know if he will be tracked down. If he is found, the entire Shen family may be wiped out. disaster.

But after thinking about it, this place is located in the outer sea, and even the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment period are reluctant to come in, so no one should know.

Shen Rui Ling hastily tidied up, put the ancient books close to him, and took away the spirit stone of the man surnamed Chu and a few bottles of medicinal herbs.

Come to the side of the water pool, control the magic weapon to get the lotus seeds of the ghost lotus. As soon as the lotus seeds were taken out, the petals withered and withered, and the whole plant slowly indented into the water again, and it was not known how many years later it would be born.

Shen Ruiling looked around again and found the storage jade box of King Gao and the two overturned pottery stoves in the Yu Chan orchid bush. After cleaning up, he walked towards the entrance of the cave and came to the woods outside. It's a ruined scene, but it's better than everything before, and it feels good to be alive.

Shen Ruiling also found a temporary hiding place not far from the entrance of the cave. com The man surnamed Chu hid here after he controlled the middle-aged scholar and the old man to jump into the pool, and only entered the cave when he thought everything was safe.

Shen Ruiling shuttled through the woods and headed for the beach.

At this time, in a cave house tens of thousands of miles away,

"I said don't disturb me when I'm in retreat," said an old monk, with anger in his voice.

"Reporting to the old man, there is news from the Promise Sect that Su'er's life and soul lamp has gone out." A middle-aged man said hurriedly.

"What? Isn't Su'er cultivating in the Promise Sect? What's going on?" As he spoke, a foundation-building pressure spread, but his old face turned even paler.

"Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine to continue talking."

"Su'er came back from the Promise Sect a few days ago and wanted to see you, but you said no one should disturb you during the retreat, so I stopped it."

"After he stayed at home for a few days, he went to Shanghai Shangfang, and there was no news until the news of his death just came." The middle-aged man said cautiously.

"Hurry up and send someone to Shanghai Shangfang to find out how Su'er died!" the old man shouted angrily.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I don't have much lifespan, but I can still clean up your line before I sit down. If you let me know that Su'er's death is related to the few of you, Don't blame the old man for being ruthless." The old man threatened.

After seeing the middle-aged man retreat, he slumped on the ground.

...

Of course Shen Ruiling didn't know all of this. At this time, he was resting in a tree hole, ready to set sail tomorrow.

Even with the map of the man surnamed Chu, Shen Ruiling didn't dare to be careless, and was ready to set off after recovering his strength.
