Chapter 307: Joining forces
There was just one thing she found strange.
The Shili Ghost Forest is located in a remote place and is not well-known in the vast expanse of land. There are also few monks who come here to use the method of refining the Ghost King's inner elixir. It is also a top secret in her Five Elements Sect. Others even took the Ghost King's inner elixir and Basically useless.
And as far as she knew, her Five Elements Sect should be the only one in the entire Middle-earth who could make elixirs with the Ghost King's inner elixir, and they had never purchased it from outside. Whenever they needed it, they would directly issue sect missions and send disciples to get the elixirs.
As a casual cultivator, how could this person know the value of the Ghost King's inner elixir? Even if he obtained the inner elixir, what would he do?
Could it be that someone in the sect leaked the secret?
Lin Ziyu couldn't be sure, and she didn't need to be sure. She didn't want to go with this person at all. With Duan Qing, who practiced the Suzaku Transformation Technique, it was enough for the two of them to deal with the Ghost King. There was really no need to bring someone else along.
Even if the other party was asking about his state of mind, he was just a casual cultivator. As a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, she really didn't take it seriously.
"The two of us have no intention of traveling with others. Fellow Taoist Tang, we should find another way out!" Lin Ziyu directly refused, while also indirectly acknowledging that the target was indeed the Ten Miles Ghost Forest.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the frail scholar Tang Tian, and then he quickly returned to normal and grinned. "If you two insist on traveling alone, I'm afraid this trip will end in failure!"
Lin Ziyu didn't want to pay attention to this person anymore, but after hearing what he said, she couldn't help but ask: "What do you think, fellow Taoist Tang, what do you mean by this?"
Tang Tian was not in a hurry to explain, but walked slowly off the bamboo raft and looked at the ten-mile ghost forest hidden in the darkness several miles away.
"The Ten Miles Ghost Forest is different from the past. There are only a few ghost kings left, and the remaining ones are all extraordinary in strength!" Tang Khotan looked solemn.
How can it be!
Lin Ziyu didn't believe what he said at all. The Five Elements Sect only issued a mission to obtain the Ghost King's inner elixir three years ago. Before leaving the sect, she checked the records within the sect and found that there was nothing unusual in the ten-mile ghost forest.
Moreover, new ghost kings will appear in the ghost forest every once in a while. Even after years of consumption within the sect, the number of ghost kings in the ten-mile ghost forest has always remained at ten. How could there be so many fewer ghost kings all at once?
"Fellow Taoist, are you kidding!" Lin Ziyu looked unkind and stared at Tang Khotan coldly.
Tang Tian stood with his hands behind his hands, not looking at Lin Ziyu, but always staring in the direction of the ghost forest ten miles north.
"I just went to the ghost forest once a few days ago, and almost died at the hands of the ghost king. According to my observation, there are only three ghost kings left in the ten-mile ghost forest, and the weakest among them is comparable to a monk in the middle stage of mind!" Tang Khotan's expression Looking back, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes.
Then his eyes fell on Lin Ziyu. "If fellow Taoist don't believe it, go and find out tomorrow!"
After saying that, he immediately returned to the bamboo raft and drove the bamboo raft away.
Lin Ziyu's expression changed suddenly, and finally she gritted her teeth and called out to Tang Khotan. "Wait!"
Tang Khotan stopped the bamboo raft and looked back at Lin Ziyu. "Did Fellow Daoist Lin change his mind?"
Lin Ziyu did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically. "Before that, I would like to ask fellow Taoist to explain clearly why he wants to obtain the Ghost King's inner elixir, and what kind of exercises he practices?"
If it is true that there are only three ghost kings in the ten-mile ghost forest, and all of them are powerful, then it will be difficult for her and Duan Qing to complete this mission alone. I am afraid they really have to join forces with this person!
But if she wanted to join forces with him, she had to figure out his purpose. If he had to take the Ghost King's inner elixir, then there was no point in joining forces with him. They both wanted the Ghost King's inner elixir. Who would give it to him first after killing him?
It is said that among the three ghost kings, the weakest ghost king can be compared to the middle stage of the asking state of mind. What if the other two are in the late stage of the asking state of mind? In this way, I am afraid that even if the three of them join forces, they will not be able to defeat the ghost king who is in the late stage of Wen Xingjing.
Therefore, under the premise that she could only kill one Ghost King, if the other party insisted on wanting the inner elixir, then even if she took some risks, she could only try her luck with Duan Qing!
However, if the other party can accept other conditions and give up the inner elixir, then joining forces is not impossible.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that this person is useful. If the exercises he practices are not beneficial to her, then there is no need to join forces. She must first ask clearly what exercises he practices.
Tang Tian didn't seem surprised at all that Lin Ziyu asked this question. As soon as he raised his hand, a red fire appeared out of thin air in his palm, flickering and flickering. "I heard that someone in the Five Elements Sect purchased the Ghost King's inner elixir at a high price in order to earn some spiritual stones, so I came here to try my luck."
There is actually someone in the sect secretly collecting the Ghost King's inner elixir!
Could it be that the decrease in the number of ghost kings of the Shili Ghost Forest Sect was due to this?
Lin Ziyu was shocked, but she didn't show it and nodded towards Tang Khotan. "The inner elixir of the Ghost King belongs to me, and I will also give my fellow Taoist 300,000 spirit stones as a supplement. If you can accept it, we will join forces."
What he said was categorical and there was no room for discussion.
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Lin Ziyu would insist on asking for the inner elixir, but he quickly came to his senses and smiled at Lin Ziyu: "That's great, I was just asking for the spiritual stone."
Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, this damn girl is really a little rich man! He opened his mouth and saw 300,000 spiritual stones. I should have rip him off again!
He didn't expect that Lin Ziyu would actually decide to join forces with Tang Khotan, who had an unknown origin, but he was not the one who produced the spirit stone anyway, so let her go!
If it is true, as the man surnamed Tang said, that the weakest ghost king in the ten-mile ghost forest is comparable to the middle-level ghost king, then there seems to be no harm in having one more person. Although he thinks that the two of them joining forces to deal with the middle-level ghost king will not be a big problem, but It's always good to be careful.
Things were settled, Tang Tian seemed to be in a good mood, jumped off the bamboo raft, and looked at Duan Qing with some curiosity. "I haven't asked for your name yet?"
"Lu Xuanping!" Duan Qing glanced at Lin Ziyu and replied lightly.
Except that Lin Ziyu gave him this name, he didn't say anything else.
"So it's Brother Lu!" Tang Tian immediately bowed.
Duan Qing felt a little strange in his heart. Tang Tian was at least in the middle stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, why was he so polite to others, and he was also on the same level as him and Lin Ziyu, who were in the late stage of Transcendental Realm!
Duan Qing couldn't figure it out for a while, and he was too lazy to think about it, and simply studied his alchemy jade slip again.
Lin Ziyu looked at Duan Qing with some resentment, and stopped talking, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes to rest.
This stinky boy is really stingy! I just said it casually at the time, and he still relied on this name!
…
In a higher place within a few miles of Duan Qing and the other two, a group of five people were crawling on the ground, secretly staring at Duan Qing and the other two by the Yuequan Lake.
Three of them were in the middle stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, and one was in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm. However, the four seemed to be led by the handsome young man in white clothes who was only in the early stage of the Questioning Heart Realm.
If Lin Ziyu was here, she would definitely recognize that the man was the fly that she hated so much, Wu Ziyi!
