Chapter 229 Evil Ghost Cave

"The Fierce Ghost Cave? Is it the place where the family was severely damaged and two foundation-building elders died seventeen years ago?"

As the family inheritance elder, Yang Tianyou naturally knows many secrets, including the Fierce Ghost Cave.

However, in the family records, many situations of the Fierce Ghost Cave were briefly mentioned without detailed descriptions, so the information Yang Tianyou knew was very limited.

"Yes, our family discovered the Fierce Ghost Cave a hundred and twenty years ago. At that time, my father, Yang Canlang, the first ancestor, was in charge of the family."

A flash of memory flashed in Yang Haoyu's eyes.

"It was also during the cold wave, when the family was on a mission to Funiuguan, they discovered the Evil Ghost Cave by chance..."

As his ancestor told him bit by bit, Yang Tianyou also had a clear understanding of the Fierce Ghost Cave.

Fierce Ghost Cave, this is the name given to it by the Yang family. The meaning is very simple, because the cave is filled with a large number of unintelligent ferocious beasts, evil ghosts, and wandering spirits.

According to the detection of the Yang family, the Fierce Ghost Cave is a large-scale place where souls gather. Yin and evil spirits are permeated in it, naturally forming a strange Feng Shui formation.

If it were in a normal area, this place where souls gather would not be too dangerous, but it was completely different in Longgu County.

Because here, every sixty years, there will be a cold wave.

In just a few months, thousands of creatures died, including humans, monsters, vampires, spirits, barbarians, etc.

After their death, their true spirits became ignorant and escaped into reincarnation.

The souls are different, some are destroyed on the spot, and some are sucked away by the soul gathering place. Under the protection of the Feng Shui formation, these souls will not dissipate.

Either it gradually settles and merges with the stones in the cave, accumulating over time to form pieces of soul-gathering stones.

Or, nourished by the evil spirit, they form unintelligent wandering ghosts, wandering in the caves.

And under this strong evil spirit, vicious beasts will naturally be born and multiply here.

I don’t know how long it has been, a thousand years? Two thousand years?

The Fierce Ghost Cave has changed from a place where souls gather without danger to a dangerous place where danger and opportunity coexist.

There are a large number of soul-gathering stones and various Yin attribute spiritual objects here, as well as a lot of evil spirit crystals, which are all good things sought after by immortal cultivators.

However, in addition to a large number of treasures, the ferocious beasts and ghosts in the Fierce Ghost Cave are also extremely terrifying.

The Yang family has entered the Fierce Ghost Cave twice, one hundred and twenty years ago and seventeen years ago.

One hundred and twenty years ago, more than 20 family monks entered, led by the family leader Yang Canlang himself, as well as seven purple moon wolves.

However, in the end, only thirteen family monks came out alive, and only three Purple Moon Wolves were left.

The ancestors of the Yang family, Yang Haoyu's eldest brother Yang Haoqi, and third brother Yang Haozhi died among them.

Two of the five Purple Moon Wolf cubs that Yang Canglang obtained originally fell into the Fierce Ghost Cave, which was a heavy loss.

However, during this trip to the Fierce Ghost Cave, the Yang family got a lot of treasures.

Hundreds of soul-gathering stones and other spiritual objects were sold. After selling some of them, the spiritual stones obtained greatly enriched the family's heritage.

The remaining soul-gathering stones, thanks to the efforts of generations of family refiners, have become today's clan-suppressing magic weapon, the "Soul-Dang Bell".

It can be said that entering the Evil Ghost Cave for the first time is completely worth it.

Although many clan members were sacrificed, they also laid a solid foundation for the future development of the family.

However, according to the ancestors, the first time the family entered the Fierce Ghost Cave, they actually stayed in the outer area.

After all, at that time, the family was very weak, with only two foundation-building monks, the family head Yang Canlang, and her second brother Yang Haoli, the ancestor of the generation.

If you are weak, you don't dare to be careless. Just lingering on the outside will already cause heavy losses, let alone entering the inner domain?

So Yang Canlang gave up when he saw the opportunity. After getting enough benefits, he left the Fierce Ghost Cave and covered the entrance of the cave.

The second time I entered the Evil Ghost Cave was seventeen years ago.

This time, Yang Haoyu personally led the trip, accompanied by Yang Dang Mo, Yang Dang Xian, Yang Dang Kou, and Wolf Ancestor.

There are five people building foundations, two have combat power in the late stage of foundation building, two have combat power in the middle stage of foundation building, and one has combat power in the early stage of foundation building.

Coupled with the fifteen family Qi training monks, this lineup is quite powerful.

And with such strong strength, Yang Haoyu certainly doesn't just want to reap benefits from the outside.

She led her tribe into the inner realm.

However, three days later.

Yang Haoyu, covered in blood, rushed out of the cave with Yang Dangmo and Wolf Ancestor. As for the other clan members, they all died.

It was at that time that the Yang family was in trouble.

The death of two Foundation Builders and fifteen Qi Practitioners was not only a major blow to the family's strength, but also greatly curbed the family's development speed.

You must know that among the fifteen Qi Practitioners, several are ninth-level Qi Practitioners with good talents, and they are not over sixty years old, which is when they are in their prime.

In other words, the Yang family not only lost two ready-made foundations, but also lost several future foundations.

Even if we look deeper, the impact of that action continues to this day.

Take the thirteen Foundation-Building Pills that Yang Tianyou brought back from Funiuguan, for example. In a short period of time, the Yang family was unable to find any suitable clan members to take the Foundation-Building Pills.

Clan members who are talented and capable of breaking through the foundation building will have already broken through.

The remaining ones either have insufficient qualifications or insufficient age, and have not yet reached the perfection of Qi training.

Either he has cultivated enough, but he is already over sixty years old, and the probability of failure to break through is too high.

Among them, Yang Qiongye and Yang Dangkai were included.

They are all over seventy years old, and their energy and spirit continue to decline. Even if they take the Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of a successful breakthrough is only about 30%, or even lower.

Under such circumstances, even if they are willing, the family will have to think carefully before making a decision. After all, they are important members of the family. If anything goes wrong, it will have a very negative impact on the development of the family.

This temporarily put the Yang family into a rather embarrassing situation.

In the past, there were people but no resources.

There are resources now, but no one can use them.

It's all very frustrating.

Having said that, after entering the Fierce Ghost Cave for the second time, the family's vitality was severely damaged, but they did not get many resources for cultivating immortals, so they suddenly fell into a dilemma.

This situation continued until Yang Tianyou discovered the Dragon Valley Palace.

The family, which had made a fortune, finally recovered.

It was precisely with this spiritual stone that the Yang family survived the cold wave, and in a short period of time, it prospered and its strength far exceeded that of seventeen years ago.

The reason why Yang Haoyu wanted to enter the Fierce Ghost Cave again was because the family's strong strength gave her enough confidence.

But speaking of this, Yang Tianyou still couldn't understand why his ancestors wanted to enter the Fierce Ghost Cave. Could it be that there was some treasure inside?

When he had doubts, he asked directly.

Hearing this, Yang Haoyu sighed and said: "The second time we entered the Fierce Ghost Cave, we successfully entered the inner domain, where I found a large amount of ghost liquid!"

"Yin Soul Liquid?" Yang Tianyou's eyes fluctuated violently.

If the soul-gathering stone is a material used to practice weapons, the soul-gathering liquid is a spiritual liquid given to monks.

Its effect is simple, but extremely powerful, that is, it can greatly increase the monk's true spiritual strength.

The true spirit is the true core of a living being, and the so-called soul is just an extension of the true spirit.

The soul reincarnations rumored in the world are just the true souls entering reincarnation.

Because if a person is not out of his wits, he has not died at all, so how can he be reincarnated?

The true spirit carries several reincarnations, while the soul only carries one life.

For immortal cultivators, the strength of a true spirit is related to many things. The most obvious difference is how many natal spiritual objects it can carry.

The fundamental secret of why the natal spiritual object can use 30% of the consumption to activate a power that is not weaker than the magical weapon of the same level is that it is connected to the monk's true spirit.

Yang Tianyou's true spirit has been enhanced by the Jade Book of Heaven, and its strength is almost as strong as that of a golden elixir monk.

Therefore, in the foundation-building realm, he can carry more than ten second-level spiritual objects.

Yunhua is also a powerful true spirit, but she does not win by quantity, but focuses on the quality of her natal spiritual objects.

Her cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Golden Core, but her natal magic weapon, the Ice Soul Pearl, has already reached the third-level mid-level.

Not only that, she also has another natal spiritual object, which has also reached the third level of middle grade. It is an immortal sword, a cold moon sword that is made of black ice and is as cold as bones.

Yang Haoyu's purpose is very simple, to obtain a large amount of Yin Soul Liquid to increase the strength of the true spirit and make it reach the golden elixir level in advance.

Then based on the true spirit of the golden elixir level, the natal magic weapon Kun Tu Ding was promoted, making it a third-level low-grade magic weapon.

Use your natal magic weapon to nourish your body and make up for the shortcomings of your foundation.

In addition to the natal magic weapon, after the true spirit is promoted, Yang Haoyu can also practice a magical power - [Weapon Armor Divine Skill].

This is an incomplete magical power that can only be cultivated to the lower level of the first heaven, but for her, it is enough.

As long as he has mastered the rudimentary form of his magical power and has the support of the third-level magic weapon, Yang Haoyu is confident that when he breaks through the golden elixir, he will achieve the golden elixir in one fell swoop.

Ps: In this chapter, I am afraid that some book friends may not understand the difference between the real spirit and the soul, so I specially explain it as follows.

You can understand the true spirit as the true core of a person, which stores all the memories of this person's reincarnations. However, these memories are sealed before going through the tribulation and becoming an immortal. After becoming an immortal, you can clearly understand the past and present lives.

The soul is the carrier of a person's memory in this life. Once the soul is broken, the person is considered dead in this life.

However, his true spirit will not be damaged easily. Instead, it will carry the memory of this life and continue reincarnation from life to life until it is consumed by the power of reincarnation. If it has not become an immortal, it will be considered a complete disappearance.

Regarding the setting of reincarnation, we will talk about it later, so I won’t say more here.
