Chapter 202: Black Spirit Poison, Ancient Lingmiao Garden

On the road ahead, a burly man in a black robe blocked their way.

There was no aura fluctuation on this person.

At this moment, he stood there quietly like a sculpture.

He was wearing a black cloak.

When everyone used their spiritual sense to scan, they found that this black cloak actually had the effect of concealing the aura.

Even though everyone could clearly see the man in black robes, their spiritual thoughts could not detect his presence.

"Why is there someone else in the ancient cave?"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, feeling quite curious.

Their operation this time was very secretive.

Logically speaking, other people would not know the news easily.

However, the black-robed man in front of them blocked everyone's way, which was a bit strange.

"My fellow Daoist, we were the first to discover this ancient cave. Please leave as soon as possible."

Hong Qing's cold voice sounded.

The burly man in black robe who was blocking everyone's way didn't even move.

Still standing there quietly.

He actually turned a blind eye to the threat from a powerful person in the late stage of foundation building.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan became more curious.

After observing carefully for a long time, it was still unclear what Chen Xuan saw.

He actually walked quickly towards the front.

"Brother Chen!"

When Fairy Wuyun saw Chen Xuan walking alone, she quickly reminded him.

Chen Yurong hesitated for a moment and followed Chen Xuan closely.

Hong Qing and others did not make any comment.

He just stood there with a vigilant look.

Chen Xuan did not answer.

But when he walked in front of the burly man in black robe, the burly man in black robe still did not leave or speak.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan pointed his finger into the air.

boom!

A fireball the size of a head quickly landed on the burly man in black robe.

But the burly man in black robe still stood there quietly.

However, the black cloak on his body destroyed Chen Xuan's fireball technique in one fell swoop.

"This……"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

Soon, he casually put away the black cloak.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly that the burly man in black robe under the black cloak had already turned into a corpse.

For some reason, he just stood there quietly without moving.

If Chen Xuan had not had the courage to reveal the fact that he had died a long time ago, I'm afraid no one would dare to move forward until now.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen is really amazing. He actually saw through the fact that this person is just a skeleton."

Hong Qing laughed loudly and quickly appeared beside Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly but did not explain.

Just as Hong Qing reached out to take the storage bag from the skeleton, he was stopped by Chen Xuan.

"Friend Hong!"

Chen Xuan said with a serious look.

Hong Qing was slightly stunned, and a hint of vigilance quickly emerged from the depths of his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you mean? The black cloak on this skeleton has fallen into your hands. Why don't you let me take his storage bag? Do you want to keep it for yourself?" Hong Qing sneered.

Chen Xuan shook his head.

His eyes were very calm.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, the reason I didn't let you touch his storage bag is that I don't want to see you die here." Chen Xuan said.

Hong Qing's expression changed drastically.

A look of doubt emerged on his face.

"This...Fellow Daoist Chen, please don't talk nonsense. This is just a skeleton. Is it as powerful as you say?"

Hong Qing looked incredulous.

Chen Xuan did not explain, but pointed around the burly man in black robe.

There were many corpses around him.

In fact, some of the corpses were very close to the corpse of the burly man in black robe.

It seemed as if as long as he stretched out his hand, he could reach the storage bag of the burly man in black robe.

Hong Qing looked at it carefully for a long time, but still didn't understand its meaning.

Chen Yurong, on the other hand, seemed to understand something and looked at Chen Xuan with awe.

"Brother Chen, what you mean is that these corpses were coveting this man's storage bag when they were alive, and ended up dying here?" Chen Yurong said.

"Fairy Chen is absolutely right." Chen Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Hong Qing burst into laughter.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why do your words sound a bit strange to me? You were able to take away his black cloak and you were fine, but why did I lose my life when I took away his storage bag? Are you afraid that we will divide the things in the storage bag equally?" Hong Qing sneered.

Hua Shenglong, who had not expressed his opinion, also agreed with Hong Qing's words.

"Fellow Daoist Hong is right. Fellow Daoist Chen, are you going to wait until we leave here and then secretly take this storage bag away? If so..."

Before Hua Shenglong finished his words, he suddenly turned into a shadow and rushed towards the skeleton of a burly man in black robe not far from Chen Xuan.

This time, Chen Xuan not only did not stop it, but retreated quickly with caution.

Seeing this, Chen Yurong did not dare to be careless.

Follow Chen Xuan and retreat together.

Soon, Hua Shenglong grabbed the storage bag of the burly man in black robe.

Before he had time to check the contents of the storage bag, a black light suddenly shot out from the storage bag.

boom!

Although Hua Shenglong is in the late stage of foundation building, his combat power is also very good.

Faced with the sneak attack of the black light, this powerful cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage did not react at all and was pierced by the black light in the center of his eyebrows.

"what!"

Hua Shenglong screamed, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground quickly.

Hong Qing, who was not far away, was shocked when he saw this.

Back away quickly.

He waited for him to retreat more than ten feet before standing aside with lingering fear, staring at the storage bag in Hua Shenglong's hand.

"Everyone, did you see clearly what happened just now?" Hua Shenglong said in horror.

A powerful man in the late foundation building stage died in front of everyone.

The strong sense of crisis makes everyone dare not be careless.

At this moment, everyone's spiritual thoughts were pushed to the extreme.

They were afraid that a black light would suddenly appear and rush towards them.

"It's the black evil poison!" Fairy Dark Cloud said suddenly.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Black spirit poison!

One of the ten most terrible poisons of the ancient demon race.

Not to mention a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, even a cultivator in the Core Formation Stage would die if he touched it.

Moreover, there was a distinct blue light on the corpses of the immortal cultivators who were killed by the black spirit poison.

When Chen Xuan passed by the dead bodies just now, he had already noticed the cause of death of these people.

That's why he reminded Hong Qing not to take the storage bag.

Who would have thought that Hua Shenglong was so anxious.

I got my lunch box right at this moment.

"Brother Chen, have you known for a long time that these people died from the black spirit poison?" Fairy Wuyun said in surprise.

Chen Xuan nodded.

Soon, he said calmly, "Fairy, don't forget, I am an alchemist. How could I not recognize the Black Spirit Poison? It's a pity for Fellow Daoist Hua, he didn't believe me and died here in vain."

At this moment, there was a hint of awe in everyone's eyes when they looked at Chen Xuan.

In the past, in the eyes of everyone, Chen Xuan was just a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

Even though he is an alchemist, people don't take Chen Xuan too seriously.

But now, after experiencing the incident of the Black Spirit Demon Poison killing Hua Shenglong, everyone has completely treated Chen Xuan as an equal, as if he were a late Foundation Establishment powerhouse of the same realm as themselves.

Deep in everyone's hearts, the last trace of contempt for Chen Xuan was completely eliminated at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would probably have ended up like Fellow Daoist Hua." Hong Qing hurriedly thanked him.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "My fellow Taoists, when we continue to move forward, we must not run into these dead bodies. They also have a lot of black spirit poison on them. Although the toxicity of these black spirit poisons has weakened a lot due to time, it is still easy to poison immortal cultivators like us in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Everyone nodded carefully and continued on their way.

As for the black cloak that Chen Xuan put away, anyone could see that it was unusual, but no one raised any objections.

So, Chen Xuan put away his black cloak with peace of mind.

However, after experiencing this incident, Chen Xuan was very confused.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, when you, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, and Fairy Wuyun came here for the first time, didn't you take this road?" Chen Xuan asked puzzledly.

If these three people had really been to the ancient cave, they would definitely know about all the changes that happened here.

But when Hong Qing and the other two not only did not remind Hua Shenglong, they even seemed to know nothing about it, Chen Xuan felt that something was wrong.

"To be honest with you, Brother Chen, we didn't take this road when we came here last time," Hong Qing explained.

"Oh? May I ask if the road you took is far from here? If possible, we might as well take the road you took last time, so that our safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent." Chen Xuan said.

Hong Qing, Fairy Wuyun, and Qing Xuan shook their heads at the same time when they heard this.

Before Hong Qing could speak, Fairy Wuyun said, "Brother Chen, to be honest, the last time we were able to reach the depths of this ancient cave, we used a teleportation array to directly reach the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Unfortunately, the teleportation array ran out of energy after teleporting us once and could no longer be used. Otherwise, we would not have taken such a big risk."

Chen Xuan looked calm, but he was doubtful in his heart.

But he said nothing.

Follow the crowd and move forward.

However, little did they know that shortly after Chen Xuan and others left, Hua Shenglong, who had been poisoned, suddenly stood up straight.

His cold eyes swept around quickly.

A strong demonic energy rises from his body.

An extremely terrifying aura of the Jindan stage also emerged from Hua Shenlong.

"The bodies of these human ants are too weak. Unfortunately, I don't have much time left. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen such a weak body to inhabit them."

"For now, I'll just have to make do with it for now."

Hua Shenlong smiled coldly.

Soon, the figure disappeared from the spot and no trace was found.

An hour later, Chen Xuan and others appeared in front of an extremely huge protective formation.

On the light curtain of the formation, colorful lights kept flashing.

Waves of extremely pure medicinal fragrance continuously emanated from the light curtain of the formation.

Extremely rare spiritual medicines in the world of immortal cultivators in Linhe Prefecture are growing vibrantly in the medicine garden covered by the light curtain of the formation.

Chen Xuan glanced across the medicine garden, and immediately revealed a look of surprise that was difficult to conceal.

"Is this... the Ancient Lingmiao Garden?"
