Chapter 47 Obtaining the Fire Cloud Pendant
Xiao Lin regained consciousness again and found that he had indeed entered the spirit wood space again.
He remembered the triumphant laughter in his ears: "Haha, I didn't expect that I had stayed in Huoyun Pei for five full years and finally made my mark. Huh? Where is this place?"
Xiao Lin was speechless as he looked at a group of red auras floating two feet away from him. It was shaking constantly and seemed very excited. After he got excited, he saw clearly the environment he was in, and he suddenly let out a cry. Sound of surprise.
"If I guessed correctly, you are Fu Rong, right?" Xiao Lin couldn't figure it out. His son died in his own spirit wood space. How could he stupidly set up this trap for himself and let him take it away? If he sacrifices himself, doesn’t this mean he is disrespecting his father? This made Xiao Lin really confused.
But Xiao Lin is not worried. In this spirit tree space, no spirit body can harm him. The strange sapling in the middle has the ability to swallow the soul. Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, the sapling in the middle stood on top of his head. The buds on the tree suddenly trembled, and Fu Rong's soul immediately exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost. He dodged the sapling far away and pressed against the light shield outside. If he had a body, he would probably be dead by now. His face was full of horror.
"This... what kind of place is this? How could that sapling swallow my soul?" Fu Rong screamed in horror.
"Who is fellow Taoist? How did you know that I am Fu Rong? Why do I appear here?" After Fu Rong was frightened, he seemed to see Xiao Lin. At this moment, Xiao Lin was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.
"It was your son who told me about your Fu family's treasure trove, so I came here." Xiao Lin said lightly.
"Fu Chuan? Where is he?" Fu Rong asked.
"He's already here in a state of disbelief."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Fu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly started to curse, scolding his son for nothing. This made Xiao Lin speechless. He didn't know what kind of hatred there was between the father and son, but there was One thing Xiao Lin knew very well was that Fu Rong in front of him had already understood that he had been tricked by his son Fu Chuan.
It is not difficult to understand this. Fu Chuan knew that his father's soul was hidden in the Fire Cloud Pendant, and after being transported into a strange space by Xiao Lin, he encountered a strange sapling that could swallow the soul, and before he died, He even told Xiao Lin where his treasure was hidden before. On the one hand, it was naturally to please Xiao Lin and hope to preserve his soul. On the other hand, he had evil intentions. If Xiao Lin really went to retrieve the treasure in the future, he would naturally If Fu Rong, who is hungry and unscrupulous, wants to seize the body, the fate will most likely be the same as his own. Even if he succeeds in seizing the body, he will be avenged, which can be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
Obviously, this Fu Rong was very smart and figured out the key to it all at once. Xiao Lin was certainly not stupid either. After figuring this out, his palms started to sweat. As expected, this cultivator in the world of cultivation did not As a person who is easy to do, if he is a little careless, he may die without knowing how he died.
"I have no grievances with fellow Taoist. Although my son has offended fellow Taoist, he has already died at the hands of fellow Taoist. Moreover, I have severed all ties with him and the relationship between father and son. We have no connection at all. Please tell me. Please let me go." After cursing for a long time, Fu Rong finally calmed down, and after analyzing the situation, he solemnly said to Xiao Lin.
"Oh? We'll talk about this later, but I'm curious about the deep hatred between you and your son Fu Chuan that makes him hate you so much." Xiao Lin had a playful expression on his face.
After a moment of silence, a voice came from the red light group: "This matter must be told to others. I am a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi refining, and my wife is an eighth-level Qi refining cultivator. My husband and I were accidentally plotted against each other during a trial in Chixia Fairy City, and my wife was completely destroyed on the spot. With the help of this fire cloud pendant, I finally escaped from the soul and returned to After that, the oil was exhausted and the lamp was on the verge of collapse. It happened that my son coveted my Fire Cloud Pendant and sneaked into the secret room. I was confused for a moment and even thought about seizing it, but he found out when I didn't want to. , which made my plan fail. After that, I begged him hard to find me a low-level cultivator with spiritual roots so that I could be reborn, but he kept telling me to wear the emissary formula of Huoyun. He threatened me in exchange for teaching me.”
"Blackmail?" A strange light flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes.
However, Fu Rong obviously didn't notice. He paused and continued: "That time I was plotted and all my cultivation was wasted. But I know that beast very well. After my body is destroyed, he will definitely kill me and seize the fire cloud." Pei's thoughts, although I should not have the intention to seize the body, but he will never trust me again after this incident. Even if I give him the formula, he will just kill him in advance. Keeping this secret can actually If I live longer, as long as I can survive, I will naturally have hope, and the road will not be cut off."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was speechless for a while. It was strange for the father and son to get along like this. For the sake of his own immortality, he would use a close relative as a wedding dress. This kind of thing Xiao Lin would never do.
"I don't know the driving formula for Huo Yunpei? Can you tell me?"
"This..." Hearing that Xiao Lin was also interested in the secret treasure, Fu Rong's tone suddenly hesitated, as if he was weighing the matter. After a moment, another voice came from the light group.
"Now that I've become like this, it's useless to keep this mantra. It's not a bad idea to give it to fellow Taoist, but can you agree to the next condition?"
"Conditions?" Xiao Lin frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, don't get me wrong. I have nothing else to ask for now. I just ask you to let me go. As long as I can leave here safely, I will give you the Fire Cloud Pendant and the driving formula to you. This Fire Cloud Pendant is mine." It was accidentally obtained from an ancient ruins, and it is not something from our Tianlu Mountains. The magic lies in some secret techniques. "
"Forget it, let me tell you the truth, it is impossible to leave here, but if you tell me Huo Yunpei's driving formula, I can retain your origin and re-enter reincarnation. Despite the theory of reincarnation, It's elusive, but at least there is a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, I won't bother to care about it, and I will just let you die here. As for the Fire Cloud Pendant, I will study it slowly when I have time." Xiao Lin said lightly. .
After a moment of silence, a sigh came from the red light ball: "Hey, it doesn't matter, a year of practice will be nothing more than a mirror in the end. Just follow what the Taoist said. I just hope that the Taoist will not kill my old servant of the Fu family. He has been with me for more than 40 years, and I hope he can spend his whole life here."
"Of course, I have no interest in killing mortals." Xiao Lin replied without thinking.
"Okay." After saying that, the voice stopped suddenly, and Xiao Lin also showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was listening to something?
Half a day later, Xiao Lin appeared in the secret room again. He still held the Fire Cloud Pendant in his hand, but there was a look of surprise on his face. It turned out that this magical weapon was not an offensive weapon. It is an auxiliary type of magic weapon that can absorb the energy and blood in the monk's body to increase the power of spells or increase the speed of escape, and the increase is twice as terrifying. When hearing this function, Xiao Lin still couldn't believe that there was such a perverted magic weapon in the world.
In other words, the power of the spells cast by Xiao Lin can be doubled instantly through the amplification of the Fire Cloud Pendant. Just thinking about it makes Xiao Lin feel incredible. However, this Fire Cloud Pendant also has a limitation. The level of spells decreases with the increase of spell level. Only basic spells increase by 100%, and primary spells increase by only about 60%. This is the conclusion Fu Rong came to through experiments. As for intermediate spells and even advanced spells, that's it. I don’t know, because Fu Rongke has never practiced spells above the intermediate level, so he naturally doesn’t know the amplification ability of Huo Yunpei.
This restriction is of course no problem for the current Xiao Lin. The cultivation of intermediate and advanced spells is still too far away from him. Having this Fire Cloud Pendant suddenly increases Xiao Lin's strength a lot.
The only thing that makes Xiao Lin regretful is that the activation of the Fire Cloud Pendant requires a lot of energy and blood. It consumes 10% of his energy and blood at one time. As long as a person's energy and blood is depleted by more than 40%, he will be defeated. It will endanger life. In other words, although this Huoyunpei is abnormal, he can only use it four times at most. If he uses it more than four times, he will commit suicide.
Despite this, Xiao Lin happily put the Fire Cloud Pendant into his storage bag. Although it was not used much, it could at least be used to save his life.
Xiao Lin looked at the shelf and picked up the last jade bottle. In the jade bottle was an elixir called [Tongmai Pill]. This elixir is used by secular warriors to practice martial arts to open up the meridians throughout the body. For warriors, It is said that if the meridians of the whole body can be opened, one can enter the innate realm, and one body of skills will be completely perfected, but it is of no use to Xiao Lin, because after he reaches the fourth level of Qi refining, all the meridians of the whole body have been opened, but he Still threw it into the storage bag.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin was silent for a moment. He suddenly came to the spiritual tablet again, looked at the spiritual tablet carefully, and then walked towards the outside of the stone chamber.
When he came to the stone room outside, Xiao Lin saw the old housekeeper still waiting inside. When Xiao Lin came out, he said nothing, but Xiao Lin looked at him with interest.
"What are you looking at, Master Immortal? Is there something wrong with my face? Haha." Xiao Lin looked at the old man, who looked a little unnatural. A smile appeared on his face and he said awkwardly.
"Haha, I don't know whether I should call you the old housekeeper? Or should I call you Taoist Fellow Chehuan?" Xiao Lin asked with a smile.
When the old man heard this, his expression changed and he replied with surprise: "Master Immortal is joking. I have been the housekeeper of the Fu family for forty years. My mistress died five years ago. Besides, the old man is a man."
"Man?" Xiao Lin sneered: "Of course you are a man, but unfortunately the spirit is not. I was not very sure at first, so I tried to challenge you. As far as I know, after Fu Rong came back from injury, he went directly into the secret room. The housekeeper doesn't know either. Fu Chuan has plans for Fu Rong, so he will naturally not reveal this matter to the housekeeper. The only reason why you know is that the car ring is not completely destroyed. Instead, he possessed the old housekeeper."
When the old man heard this, his face suddenly turned pale and bloodless, but after a while, he sighed softly: "Fellow Taoist is really thoughtful and discerning."
