"There is indeed something wrong down there, but if we go down hastily, we may be in danger..." Yinyue guessed what the other party was thinking and couldn't help but feel worried.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Mo Juren smiled, but he unhurriedly took off a spirit beast bag from his waist. After opening it, there was only a buzzing sound, but dozens of thumb-sized gold and silver beetles flew out one after another.
"This is..." Seeing the swarm of insects, Yinyue was startled for a moment. She suddenly thought of the one released from the opponent's hand when she came in before, but she didn't expect that there were so many of them.
Speaking of which, she only saw this insect today, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know what kind of spiritual insect it was? What abilities do you have?
This was naturally a gold-eating insect. After Han Li gave it to him, Mo Juren only planted the forbidden animal, and after it hatched, he put it all in the spirit beast bag and ignored it.
It's not that I don't pay attention to it, it's just that I don't have time. After all, it hasn't been long since the trip to Xutian Palace, but things happened one after another, and there was no spare time at all.
Even the two golden silkworms obtained in Xutian Temple were only occasionally taken out to feed some specially refined original blood of the same level. As for the higher level ones, they were worried that they would not be able to bear it, so they did not dare to try. Fortunately, the effect was pretty good, at least he was still alive and showed no signs of deterioration.
Speaking of gold-eating insects, although he only left 10,000 at the beginning, it was not a small number. However, the current level of evolution of this insect is not enough, and it cannot be used unscrupulously to avoid excessive casualties in special circumstances.
His hands immediately performed a strange magic formula, and with a slight scolding, dozens of gold-eating insects turned into golden and silver strange lights and submerged into the pond. Then, under Mo Juren's control, he began to penetrate deeper and deeper.
The Yuling Sect has conducted in-depth research on the driving of spirit insects. Mo Juren, who has obtained the true inheritance, has naturally mastered many secret techniques. He is currently using a special method of 'paying attention to the gods'. You can use the perception of the gold-eating insect you control to roughly understand some of the conditions below.
In terms of defense and vitality, Gold-eating Insects are definitely top-notch, and are extremely resistant to many complex environments. Even if the cold energy contained in the pond becomes more and more intense, it has no effect at all.
As it continued to deepen, the diameter of the pool had already exceeded one foot, and became larger and larger, until it exceeded one hundred feet, and it was already a huge space.
At this time, Mo Juren had already learned some information through the perception of dozens of gold-eating insects, especially the cold energy that seemed to have spirituality that he had sensed before, which became clearer and clearer at this moment.
"Monster?" Beside the water pool, Mo Juren frowned in confusion. From the induction just now, it looked like it, but he couldn't be sure.
Just as he was about to continue exploring deeper, he never thought that a sudden change would occur.
The 'monstrous beast' moved and seemed to appear, vaguely like an anaconda. It seemed to be extremely resistant to the gold-eating insect's penetration, and then swallowed it all in one bite.
Faced with this sudden attack, Mo Juren not only did not panic at all, but became more and more curious. As for the gold-eating insects, they are not so fragile that they can be swallowed but not digested.
He could feel that the cold energy increased several times in an instant, but it was unable to do anything to the Gold-Eating Insect. In just a blink of an eye, dozens of gold-eating insects tore out and regained their freedom.
However, this made Mo Juren a little surprised. It was too easy. The physical bodies of monsters are usually relatively strong, and they should not be able to break through so easily. It seemed as if what he was biting just now was not a real thing, but a ball of liquid.
"Interesting!" Mo Juren raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly there was a vague guess in his heart, and he continued to control the gold-eating insect to go deeper. And the monster didn't give up at all, and swallowed it in one gulp again.
As before, the gold-eating insect once again easily broke through the imprisonment.
Seeing this, the smile on his face grew stronger, and he was basically certain in his heart that the thing that attacked the gold-eating insect just now was most likely not a monster, but more like an energy body condensed from the pond water.
The infiltration of gold-eating insects continued, and the unknown 'monster' blocked them one after another. Even if it had no effect, they still did not give up. Even as the insect swarm went deeper and deeper, the 'monster beast' became obviously more urgent, and the frequency of attacks became higher and higher. Unfortunately, it was helpless to face the gold-eating insects, but it was still unable to do anything.
After a while, the insect swarm reached the depths of the pool smoothly. At this time, Mo Juren also sensed something that moved him through dozens of gold-eating insects.
"The aura of plants and trees, that's it!" Mo Juren finally understood everything, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable joy. In the next moment, he jumped straight down.
The water in the pool is extremely cold, and if it weren't for his physical strength and his powerful magical power, it would be really difficult to stop him. But apart from these, there are no other dangers.
After confirming this, he dived very fast, with a depth of only a few hundred feet to his left and right, and in the blink of an eye he had already reached the depths of the pool.
At this time, with his eyes flashing, he finally saw everything. He saw a rather strange elixir floating in an area in front of him.
The main body is not big, only about half a foot, and the thickness is close to a baby's forearm, but the long whiskers below are up to five feet, and they are densely scattered in the pond.
There are several extremely beautiful purple-black flowers growing at the top of the elixir. They are constantly flashing a dark purple brilliance at the moment, which looks particularly mysterious in the depths of the dark and ink-like bottom of the pool.
"Nine Nether Mysterious Water Ginseng!" The moment he saw the elixir, Mo Juren could not help but exclaim. This was the last of the three spiritual ginseng that he had been looking for.
The jade slip left by Fairy Xuanyou didn't describe clearly, and it was still in the form of a seedling, so he didn't notice it early. But when he saw the mature plant in front of him, which was obviously more than ten thousand years old, he recognized it instantly. .
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
With this ginseng, plus the 'Xuanjing White Jade Ginseng' and the Jiuqu Spiritual Ginseng obtained previously, the main medicine of the 'Shenyuan Yingying Dan' has been assembled.
Once all the auxiliary ingredients are available, they can be refined immediately. According to Xu Qingcheng's introduction, the reason why this pill is called the 'Yingying Pill' is because it has incredible magical effects on the monks' Yuanying and can improve the quality of the Yuanying, so that the monks can practice in the future. Get twice the result with half the effort.
With such a miraculous elixir, it is no wonder that the other party was so impatient when he saw the Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng. No one else would be calm.
Thoughts surged in my mind, but only for a moment.
Without any hesitation, even though he was about to take it away immediately, he never thought that a ghost like a spiritual snake appeared in an instant and merged with the Nine Nether Mysterious Water Ginseng. Apparently sensing the approaching crisis, the spiritual ginseng that turned into a spiritual snake flashed with a faint light and disappeared in an instant.
"Innate Water Escape Technique! It's really extraordinary!" Mo Juren laughed, but he was not worried at all. Isn't it just Water Escape Technique? Who doesn't know it? The whole body also flashed with light, and he continued to chase after him.
One bad thing about the depths of the pool is that the extremely cold energy inside is too strong, causing the consciousness to be instantly frozen within a foot of the body, which is very restrictive.
The good thing is that it doesn’t require spiritual consciousness. As long as you use your spiritual eyes, you can basically catch some clues through the fluctuations in the pond water. Therefore, the possibility of Ling Shen evading his pursuit was extremely slim.
What the opponent really relies on is the innate water escape technique. Because it comes from instinct, its speed is as fast as lightning. It would be really difficult to catch up if you just relied on some ordinary water techniques or magic weapons.
However, Mo Juren is an exception. His water escape technique was not cultivated. It was inherited from the bloodline talent of the monster. It is no different from instinct. There is no need to use it. It is completely based on his heart.
Therefore, in the following time, the two escaping lights started chasing each other wildly in the pond.
In terms of speed, the two are similar, but Mo Juren cannot be stupid and only use the water escape technique. While chasing, he is constantly driving dozens of gold-eating insects to move together, chasing and intercepting them from different directions.
In this way, in just a moment, the spirit snake could no longer hold on, and a large crimson net suddenly appeared, trapping it instantly.
The spirit snake was obviously unwilling to give in. It continued to struggle and even opened its mouth to bite the network cable. Unfortunately, facing the fire-attributed web, it seemed to be restrained and could not break through. In the end, all I could do was watch the web quickly shrink into a ball.
As a burst of light flashed, the spirit snake could no longer maintain its transformed body and once again changed into its original appearance. Only the purple-black strange flower at the top kept flashing, as if accusing someone.
Mo Juren chuckled, took it into his palm, and then found a red jade box and put it in. At the same time, it was thrown directly into the Tianxiang Pendant. In this way, no matter how powerful it was, it would never be able to escape.
After handling everything and putting away the gold-eating insects, he was about to leave, but something suddenly occurred to him. He immediately fell to the bottom of the pool again, released his consciousness to the extreme, and walked around the bottom of the pool to search.
He had done some research and found out that the 'Nine Nether Mysterious Water Ginseng' had extremely strict requirements for the growth environment. If it could not be met, then even if it took a long time and sufficient spiritual energy, it would not be possible to grow to such an extent.
If his guess is correct, the cold energy contained in this pool of water is the key to it. This energy has lasted for more than ten thousand years and is still as strong as before. Obviously, it cannot be rootless and must have a source.
He couldn't help but be curious, what would happen? Anyway, there is no rush to leave at this moment. If you figure it out, you may gain something unexpected.
He searched extremely carefully, not missing almost every inch. Finally, the hard work paid off, and it took half an hour to finally find something.
Somewhere in the corner of the pool, a treasure mirror with a diameter of half a foot suddenly fell. It was purple in color and continuously exuded extremely cold energy.
Mo Juren's expression changed, and he immediately took it into his palm, but immediately discovered that the purple mirror seemed to have been severely damaged, and there was a clearly visible crack on it.
But even so, this mirror is by no means simple. When he subconsciously looked at the mirror, an extreme coldness appeared out of thin air in the sea of consciousness, as if the entire sea of consciousness was about to be frozen.
The "Dayan Jue" in the body was instinctively operating, and he woke up instantly. He quickly turned the mirror over, and the coldness slowly dissipated. However, one can still feel the sluggishness of the movement of spiritual consciousness.
His consciousness is so powerful, just one glance almost froze the entire sea of consciousness, which shows how extraordinary this treasure is. And the seemingly endless cold energy obviously comes from this treasure.
"What a pity!" But at this moment, Yin Yue's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Without waiting for him to ask, he continued,
"This mirror is most likely a famous spiritual treasure from ancient times. Unfortunately, I don't know why it was damaged. Its origins have been largely lost over the past countless years, and its power has been greatly reduced."
"You don't recognize this treasure?" Mo Juren asked back.
"I can't remember, probably because I have never seen this mirror before." Yinyue thought for a while, then sighed softly.
"Has a large amount of the origin been lost?" Mo Juren also saw this, but he was not frustrated at all. Instead, he smiled and said,
"Most of the lost origin should have been absorbed by the 'Nine Nether Mysterious Water Ginseng', so it is not a waste. As for this treasure, even in the current situation, it is still quite powerful."
Before he finished speaking, the light immediately disappeared and flew upwards at high speed. Soon, he rushed out of the pool and flew to the open space again.
Looking at the precious mirror in his hand that was still slowly releasing a cold aura, he did not delay and immediately took out an intermediate sealing talisman and placed it directly on the crack.
Unexpectedly, the talisman only lasted for a moment, and was suddenly stained with a strange purple color, and then turned into ashes.
Mo Juren looked slightly surprised, and took out more than ten sealing talismans again, and pasted them one layer at a time. This time it lasted longer, but unfortunately it still treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, and was quickly destroyed by erosion again.
Seeing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but frown. He couldn't just take it into the Ten Thousand Soul Gourd. Then the origin hadn't been revealed? A top-notch treasure will be scrapped sooner or later.
After thinking for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and the white light flashed again in his hand, revealing a special talisman. This talisman was not drawn by him, but one of the many talismans he obtained in Xutian Temple to seal the six demons.
He has checked it carefully and found that although it has been a long time, its effectiveness has not been completely lost and it can still be used. And its sealing ability is much stronger than the intermediate sealing talismans in his hand.
Sure enough, as the talisman was attached to the crack, the cold aura that was still leaking instantly disappeared, and even the entire mirror surface became dim.
Although there have been tests before, I am also prepared in my heart. However, Mo Juren was still shocked when faced with such an obvious effect gap.
The ancient talisman masters were indeed so terrifying, but these simple sealing talismans were far beyond what the current practice world could compare with.
As for those terrifying ancient jade talismans, not even ordinary talisman masters, even those top talisman masters who have reached the master stage, can refine them.
In the end, the inheritance of Fu Dao was broken. Not only the Tao of Talisman, but also the Tao of Formation, Alchemy, Weapon Refining, etc. The damage caused by that demonic disaster to the entire cultivation world is immeasurable.
Mo Juren sighed softly, but he could only sigh lightly and was unable to do anything. Fortunately, I got a lot of ancient talismans. I can learn more about them in the future, and maybe I can copy them all.
Putting away his thoughts, several sealing talismans appeared in his hand again, and he attached them to the mirror one by one, and then took out a jade box to put them in.
"There's probably no problem this time." Looking at the jade box in his hand, Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction and then put it into the Ten Thousand Soul Gourd.
Things here are over, and he doesn't plan to stay any longer. However, before leaving, he still found a place and put the bones of the 'Fairy Xuanyou' there, so that he could rest in peace.
A stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb, but no inscription was engraved on it. With a bow, Mo Juren left the stone palace without any further delay.
At the same time, somewhere in the dense forest, four figures are falling into despair...
