Chapter 306: Moon Spring Lake
There are countless ghosts in the ghost forest. Over the years, they have become powerful. Many ghosts have developed their intelligence and can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy of the world to practice like monsters.
The ghost king is the most powerful among the ghosts. His strength is about the same as that of a cultivator in the state of mind. There is definitely more than one ghost king in the ten-mile ghost forest.
Of course, this is only during the day. If the ghost forest is full of yin energy at night, the ghost king will also increase greatly. At that time, ordinary people in the state of mind will not be their opponents!
If it were just like this, Lin Ziyu would not need to ask for help. With her own strength, she could force her way into the ghost forest and find a weaker ghost king to kill.
The trouble is that ghosts are not like monsters. They are almost immortal. It is difficult for ordinary magic and attack methods to cause harm to them.
Only the legendary thunder and fire techniques can have a restraining effect on ghosts.
Although Lin Ziyu practiced the Five Elements Secret and could perform any five-element magic, she was not sure to kill the ghost king.
Therefore, Lin Ziyu had to bring Duan Qing, who was practicing the Suzaku Transformation technique, with her. In terms of the power of fire-based techniques, the Suzaku Transformation was much stronger than the Five Elements Technique. The subtlety of the Five Elements Technique was that it encompassed the five elements and could be switched between them at will. The attributes of each element complemented each other. Although it was extremely powerful, it was not very suitable for the Ten-Li Ghost Forest.
The Suzaku Transformation was a simple and powerful fire-based technique, which was perfect for dealing with ghosts.
After listening to Lin Ziyu's explanation, Duan Qing felt relieved. If it was really as she said, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
His strength was more than enough to deal with ordinary Questioning Heart Realm. Since the ghost king's strength was not as good as the Questioning Heart Realm, the fire-based techniques had a restraining effect on ghosts. When the sun rose, the two of them would enter the Ghost Forest and kill a slightly weaker ghost king at random. It would be easy!
What's more, he not only knows fire-related skills, but also has been baptized by thunder and lightning for two years in the body of the giant Kun in the bottle. The power of thunder has merged with his sea water vortex, and he can call on the thunder power in his sea water when he attacks.
Under the dual restraint of thunder and fire, it must be more harmful to ghosts.
This Lin Ziyu is really good at picking people. So many people just happened to meet such a "master" as him, Duan Qing thought a little arrogantly.
At this time, night has fallen, and the two have to rest on the spot by the Yuequan Lake, and wait until the next day to enter the Ten Mile Ghost Forest.
Duan Qing sat on the stone beach, but he did not enter the state of practice. This Lin Ziyu is cunning and changeable, so it is better to be vigilant.
Yuequan Lake is a dead lake. In this huge basin, there is not even a trace of breeze, which makes the surface of Yuequan Lake exceptionally calm, just like a mirror, reflecting the full moon in the sky and the twinkling stars.
Such a picturesque scenery, but it's a pity!
Looking at the Yuequan Lake in front of him, Duan Qing sighed secretly. Water is the source of all living things. Most mortal cities are built by the water and accompanied by water.
It's a pity that this vast Yuequan Lake is not accessible to anyone because of the Ten Mile Ghost Forest.
Thinking about it, Duan Qing suddenly remembered Xiao'an City surrounded by mountains and water, and his dead parents. He felt a little sad, even though he could face everything calmly now, including his past.
But after all, they were his parents who gave birth to him and raised him. If he didn't even have any waves when thinking of his parents, then what was the difference between him and an animal!
Duan Qing quickly put away his thoughts. With nothing to do and unable to sleep, he simply took out the jade slip of alchemy he had just bought and began to study it.
"Daoyou Lu is really diligent!" Lin Ziyu obviously didn't want to practice. Bored, she looked around. Seeing Duan Qing take out the jade slip and sink into it, she couldn't help but sigh.
Duan Qing was interrupted, and glanced at Lin Ziyu lightly, not wanting to pay attention to this person, and then continued to observe the jade slip.
He had planned long ago to talk to this person as little as possible, so as not to say the wrong thing and be discovered by him.
Lin Ziyu smiled awkwardly, feeling so bored.
Humph! What's so cool about it? Look at your arrogant look, is the Shinto Sect so great? After all, this girl is also a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, okay! Lin Ziyu thought bitterly.
If it weren't for the third senior brother standing her up and not being able to find a capable helper for a while, she wouldn't bother to endure Duan Qing's anger.
"Hey, what is that!" At this time, Lin Ziyu suddenly found that there seemed to be something on the lake, and pointed to the front with some surprise.
Duan Qing thought Lin Ziyu was stirring up trouble, so he ignored it and continued to study his alchemy.
But after a while, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he raised his eyes and glanced at the Yuequan Lake in front of him, and found that there was really something!
A bulge could be seen faintly on Yuequan Lake, hundreds of feet away from the two of them.
It seemed... a bamboo raft! There was a person standing on the raft!
Duan Qing immediately became alert. How could there be other people in such a remote Yuequan Lake? Could it be another cultivator?
As the person got closer and closer, the two of them also saw the full appearance of the person.
The person on the bamboo raft was about thirty years old, dressed like a scholar, with a handsome face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. The whole person gave people a very friendly feeling.
At this time, he was driving the bamboo raft straight towards Duan Qing and the others.
Soon, the bamboo raft stopped in front of the stone beach.
Duan Qing frowned. Although this person looked harmless, his cultivation was only in the initial stage of the questioning state under his Qi-seeking technique, but looking at this person in front of him, he always felt unreal.
Although Lin Ziyu was not very old and rarely left the sect, she was very vigilant and stared at the weak scholar with caution.
Under the gaze of the two, the weak scholar looked straight at them, with a slight smile on his face. "You two Taoist friends must have come for the Ten-Li Ghost Forest!"
Duan Qing did not speak, but just glanced at Lin Ziyu calmly. This trip was all led by Lin Ziyu, so this matter should be left to her to deal with!
"Sneaky, who are you?" Lin Ziyu had a cold face and did not reply directly, but directly questioned the identity of the weak scholar.
"My name is Tang Tian, I am a casual cultivator, I don't know the names of the two Taoist friends?" The weak scholar did not mind Lin Ziyu's tone at all, and still kept a smile.
Knowing that this person was a casual cultivator, Lin Ziyu's expression eased a little, but still looked like a stranger. "Lin Ziyu, Taoist friend, why did you come here rashly?"
"It turned out to be fellow Taoist Lin. To be honest, I came for the ghost king in the Ten-Li Ghost Forest. If the two Taoist friends are also like Tang, can it be convenient to go together?" Tang Tian said warmly.
It turns out that she also came for the Ghost King!
The Ghost King's inner elixir is of Yin nature and is extremely rare. It is an excellent material for refining some special elixirs. It is much more precious than the inner elixir of exotic beasts and can be exchanged for a large amount of contributions in the Five Elements Sect.
She took the Ghost King's inner elixir to make up for the sect's contributions and exchange for the Five Elements elixir that can break through the Questioning Heart Realm.
In addition to the inner elixir, the Ghost King has no other value.
From this point of view, although this person did not say it clearly, he probably came to take the Ghost King's inner elixir.
