Chapter 380: Strange Fog

The young man in black had a calm expression. He nodded to the old man and threw a bottle of white elixir to the person who was auctioning the animal bones: "This is a high-quality rejuvenation elixir. There are ten in total, which is enough to exchange for the animal bones of fellow Taoist." "

As this person appeared, there was a sudden silence in the place, and the old man from before even had an apologetic smile on his face and remained as silent as a cicada.

This person is a senior in the mana stage. How dare they fight? Besides, this place is in the spiritual world, and one mistake can lead to death.

The young man who was auctioning the animal bones looked stiff, but when he saw the elixir in the other person's hand, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he did not dare to hand over the animal bones without any hesitation.

All the foundation-building monks looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Ye Chunyang didn't say a word, threw the elixir to the young man, then put away the animal bones and walked out of the shop indifferently.

After finding a secluded place, he immediately called out Lingkun. This beast had been coveting this thunder-attributed beast bone for a long time, and immediately devoured it. The two-foot-long bone was swallowed into its belly in the blink of an eye.

Although it was not as pure as the Thunder Spirit Stone he had taken last time, Lingkun also showed satisfaction. Then he patted his belly and returned to the spirit beast bag to close his eyes and rest.

"There are many treasures in the spiritual world, so we can take this opportunity to find more supplements for our two spiritual pets."

Ye Chunyang touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.

The two spiritual pets need to absorb thunder-attribute spiritual power, and the other need to swallow demonic energy. Both of them are difficult to find outside, but the resources in the spiritual world are more than the outside world, which is a rare opportunity for him.

Lingkun has true spirit bloodline, while Xiaoqing is a mutated monster. The advancement of any spiritual pet can be of great help to him. Ye Chunyang naturally has to put more thought into this.

However, it is still important to follow Ju Ruhai into the ruins to find Pixiu. Without this beast, it is impossible to cross the sea of ​​fog and reach the inner layer.

Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang immediately closed his eyes and meditated, making plans for the next treasure hunt.

…

The next day.

At noon, on a hill a few miles away from the small town, two figures were standing and one was sitting. The man standing was an old man. He had his hands behind his back and looked into the distance with a slightly anxious expression.

The man sitting in meditation is a middle-aged man, wearing a cloud-top Taoist robe, with long hair disheveled, somewhat ethereal and fairy-like, but he is a genuine master of early magic power.

"Fellow Daoist Ju, the person you mentioned has not arrived after so long. Could it be that he broke his promise and broke the appointment?" After a long time, the middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged stood up and said with a hint of coldness.

According to what the old man said, there was a magic monk accompanying him on this trip, but they had been waiting here for two hours and still hadn't seen each other show up. The middle-aged man was already impatient.

"Fellow Taoist Juechen, don't be impatient. Ju can tell that that person is extremely concerned about entering the inner realm and will never break the appointment. I guess there is something delaying him." Ju Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hmph! I'm just a casual cultivator. Of course he would care if he had the opportunity to enter the inner layer. He just made me wait for so long. He thinks too highly of himself!" The Juechen Taoist priest snorted, very dissatisfied. look.

Ju Ruhai shook his head and said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Juechen, please don't underestimate this fellow Daoist Ye. We don't care whether this person is a casual cultivator or not. If he is really a casual cultivator, he can cultivate magic power and come here safely, and Is he a simple person?"

Taoist Priest Juechen frowned, his face showing deep thought, but his expression was vaguely disdainful.

In his opinion, casual cultivators have no family, no sect, no resources to back them up, and it is difficult to achieve success. As Ju Ruhai said, that person can cultivate magic power only by luck. He does not believe how much strength the other party has.

Ju Ruhai smiled bitterly.

While the two were talking, a ray of light suddenly flew from the sky. It was not very fast, and it was half-walking and half-stopping, as if it was watching something. It wasn't until he reached the sky above this small hill that the other party seemed to realize it and stopped, then landed straight down.

"Fellow Daoist Ju, you've been waiting for a long time." The figure fell down steadily, cupped his hands towards Ju Ruhai, and said with a smile.

"No matter where it is, I couldn't wait to come here a quarter and a half early, but Fellow Daoist Ye is very cautious, and he went to check it out before coming down."

Ju Ruhai said with a kind smile.

But his words made Ye Chunyang's heart feel cold. When he was in the sky, he did secretly detect it with his spiritual consciousness. However, after practicing the God Refining Technique, most people could not detect his spiritual detection, but Ju Ruhai was able to detect it with just one word. To be honest, it seems that this person is not simple either.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Ye Chunyang remained calm on the surface.

Ju Ruhai smiled as if nothing had happened and introduced him: "This is the elder of the Xuanqing sect, Taoist Master Juechen. He is a good friend of mine. I hope that the three of us can successfully catch Pixiu and enter the cave together." layer."

Following Ju Ruhai's gaze, Ye Chunyang took a look at this person. He was also in the early stages of his magic power, but his aura was restrained. He had obviously practiced some Qi-condensing techniques, making it impossible for others to detect the depth. If he hadn't had extraordinary spiritual awareness, it would have been difficult for him to feel it. reveal the other party’s true cultivation level.

He was secretly surprised that although Taoist Master Juechen's Qi Condensation Technique was not as good as his original Heavenly Scripture, it was still somewhat miraculous.

It seems that this person is no ordinary person.

After a flash of thought, he bowed his hands as usual and said "Nice to meet you."

This person glanced slightly, and was slightly shocked when he saw that the other party was so young, but he only returned the salute lightly and did not say anything.

Although he didn't reveal anything, Ye Chunyang could feel the arrogance in the other person's eyes.

Ye Chunyang frowned slightly. He thought it was Ju Ruhai who said during his introduction that he was a casual cultivator, and it was because of this position that he felt he was not qualified to be compared with him. However, Ye Chunyang didn't care about this. Originally, he concealed his identity in order not to attract attention, so The situation suited him just fine.

"Since you two are already familiar with each other, let's talk about the news about that ruins." Ju Ruhai looked at Taoist Master Juechen, and finally looked at Ye Chunyang, still looking like a kind old man, and said: " The ruins were originally an ancient sect called the 'Lingxu Sect', and Pixiu was their former sect-suppressing spirit beast. After the Lingtian Realm was sealed by the barrier, although the ancient monks were all destroyed, the formations in the sect remained. The traps are all still there, and they are divided into three levels. To find Pixiu, you have to go through the last level.”

"In addition, after countless years, Pixiu has become wild and untamed, and has become extremely ferocious. Even if we can find him, we may work together carefully, otherwise we will not be able to capture him, and we may even put our lives in the hands of the other party."

After a pause, he glanced at the two of them one last time and said, "Do you have any other objections?"

The Taoist Priest Juechen shook his head expressionlessly.

Ye Chunyang also said that he had no objection.

"Since the two fellow Taoists have no objections, let's set off immediately." Ju Ruhai put away his smile, shook one hand, and a sheepskin map appeared, "Back then, I sent my seniors to find out about the Lingxu Sect and then map it out. Come out and follow this map, we can not only shorten the time by nearly half, but also avoid ancient monsters and restrictions. "

While talking, Ju Ruhai passed the map to the two of them.

After Taoist Master Juechen, Ye Chunyang took the map and scanned it, feeling surprised.

Judging from the destination marked on the map, it is indeed not far from here. However, there are many red dots marked on the map, indicating danger. Only one road among them is safe. No wonder when asked yesterday about the location of the ruins, Ju Ruhai said easily that without this map, it would be almost impossible to safely find the ruins of the Lingxu Sect.

"Since you two fellow Taoists have seen the map, let's set off immediately." Ju Ruhai said, put away the map and took the lead.

Taoist Master Juechen didn't say anything, and Teng Yun followed him.

Ye Chunyang hung slowly behind him, looking unhurried and unhurried.

At the speed of the three of them, they arrived at the center of the southwest land in less than half a day's flight. However, as they went deeper, space storms would appear from time to time. However, the three of them were not ordinary people. They sensed them in advance and avoided them safely.

However, due to the fluctuations caused by the flight of a few people, some ancient monsters would occasionally be disturbed. When encountering these monsters, the three of them would kill them if they could, and avoid them if they couldn't. Moreover, there was a map left by the senior Ju Ruhai. Along the way, It was quite peaceful.

…

"Fellow Daoist Ye is very perceptive in this journey. He can sense in advance whenever there are ancient monsters. I admire you very much. I wonder which fairy mountain cave you practice in?"

Three days later, a group of people stopped outside a rolling mountain range. The Taoist Priest Juechen glanced at Ye Chunyang, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a joking tone.

"Fellow Taoist Juechen deserves the award. Ye is a loose cultivator and has no fixed place. He can sense the presence of monsters in advance. This is just due to the usual caution and intuition of casual cultivators."

Ye Chunyang chuckled and replied calmly.

Along the way, he had indeed relied on his extraordinary intuition to skillfully avoid some dangers several times. Although his original intention was to keep a low profile, he did not want to lose his life in vain, so he still had to use some necessary means.

However, it is not so easy for Taoist Master Juechen to find out his true identity.

Hearing these words, a trace of amusement flashed across Taoist Priest Juechen's eyes. He was about to say something more when Ju Ruhai's slightly surprised voice came from the other side.

"The mountain range in front should be the mountain gate of Lingxu Sect, but why..."

Ju Ruhai frowned slightly, with a look of uncertainty on his face.

Seeing his expression, Taoist Priest Juechen stopped probing Ye Chunyang and asked instead, "What? What's wrong?"

Ye Chunyang also became a little confused.

"Look, there are spiritual energy fluctuations in the deep mountain in front. It is obviously the mountain gate of Lingxu Sect, but it is just covered up by the illusory array." Ju Ruhai said: "If it is just an illusory array, that's it, but have you noticed it? There is a cloud behind the mountain gate. It is obviously not natural, but there is something fishy about it. "

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked along, and indeed saw a thick fog filling the air behind the mountain gate. Wherever they went, the mountains and forests were withered and the rocks were scorched black, which seemed to have extremely strong pollution power.

"Could it be some ancient prohibition?" Finding this place strange, Taoist Priest Juechen's face showed solemnity and said: "Fellow Taoist Ju, please take a look. Can it be mentioned in the map left by the senior of your sect?"

Hearing this, Ju Ruhai hurriedly opened the map and looked at it carefully.

Only Ye Chunyang stood aside without saying a word.

But there was a faint flash of something strange in his eyes...
