Chapter 279: The Cauldron of Enlightenment, the Foundation of Immortality
"Where is the ghost? Tell me, where did that ghost go? Didn't they say it was foolproof? It won't be lost even if you go to the ends of the earth?"
In a dead town with bones everywhere and ghosts wailing, a young man with a golden ring on his hair and a white robe stared at two grey-robed old men fiddling with a compass. His voice sounded like the howling of evil spirits and the roar of vengeful spirits.
"Why can't I find it now? Tell me, how did you promise me not to rush into it? But now, I can't even find its shadow."
"Young Sect Master, please be patient and give me some time. This Thousand Nether Soul-Seeking Compass is one of the fundamental spiritual treasures inherited by the Yin Soul Sect. We are not familiar with it yet, so we can't find the trace of the Yin Spirit."
"Waste, all of you are waste. That's not what you promised me at the beginning."
The sinister young man's voice returned to normal from the roar of the evil ghosts, but his originally white brocade robe was now covered with the hideous faces of evil ghosts. The original white robe suddenly turned into a gray robe, surrounded by blood.
"That ghost has the talent to become a ghost fairy at least. If I can get it, I can not only enter the realm of Dongxuan, but also inherit my father's position. But now, because of you, everything is gone. If I can't find it, I will throw you all into the Corpse Raising Hall."
"Young Master, please calm down and don't lose your mind because of greed. This is a taboo in cultivation."
A black-armored monk whose figure appeared and disappeared from time to time appeared behind the young man. His low and cold voice made the young man's anger subside a little. He turned around and looked at the black-armored monk who was haunted by the dead soul.
"Greed? Liya, tell me, don't you have greed?"
"Even saints have greed, but they must not indulge in desires. They need to restrain themselves and not lose their minds. Young master, have you forgotten why you promised not to take action against the ghost girl immediately that day, but instead marked her with the Qianyou Xunying Compass and waited and watched for the time being?"
There was only one figure, a man in black armor with not even much aura leaking out, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"Of course I remember. How could I forget? My mind is full of Nanbei now. Her voice, her smile, her every frown and every laugh are all engraved in my heart."
As he spoke, the young man in the grey robe and golden ring couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this scene, the two gray-robed old men who were fiddling with the compass beside him looked at each other, and immediately a meaningful look appeared on their faces.
For these unconventional monks who control corpses and ghosts, having sex with ghosts and beautiful corpses is absolutely normal.
After all, they are the Yinhun Sect, and deal with such things every day, so they are naturally affected by the qi and are different from the orthodox Xuanmen Sect. Otherwise, they would not be denounced as a unorthodox sect.
Their young sect leader is an expert in this field. The lustful ghosts and corpses he collects in the caves at the mountain gate are a stunning sight in the sect and are well-known.
None of them noticed the ghost girl flying in the sky that they met by chance that day. Instead, the young sect leader who was carrying the secret treasure of the sect noticed her existence and hurriedly chased after her.
They followed closely and were fortunate enough to see the being that was surrounded by immortal spirit. However, they soon discovered that the ghost girl was very different from ordinary ghosts. The dress she wore was definitely not an ordinary item. It was of extremely high grade and was suspected to be an immortal weapon.
Combining the fact that the other party's aura was completely different from the ghosts they had seen, plus the incredibly pure yin energy on her body, it was natural to infer that the origin of this ghost girl was extraordinary.
"Since the young master remembers, why should we blame the two elders? Now that the Qianyou Shadow-Seeking Compass has appeared, it still cannot locate the other party. This only proves that the decision we made that day was correct. Otherwise, the young master would probably be in great trouble at this moment."
"I know Nanbei's origins are extraordinary, but it is precisely because of this that I want her even more. Do you understand? The hundreds of ghosts I have collected in my lifetime are not even a fraction of what she has. Do you understand how I feel?"
Hearing this, the young man with his hair tied with a golden ring suddenly became excited. His robes turned white again. Many ghost shadows poured into his body, making his voice turn into the roar of evil ghosts again, which was awe-inspiring. However, the monks beside him had calm expressions, and it was obvious that they were used to it.
"I understand what the young master is thinking, but there are so many things in this world that can only be encountered but not sought after, as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river, does the young master have to seek them all?
The only thing the young master can do now is to calm his mind and use this incident to sharpen his heart. In this way, his cultivation of the body may be able to go a step further."
"I know everything you said, but I can't control it. I don't want to care about it. I just want to get the North and the South."
The young man's face suddenly became distorted, ferocious and ferocious, like a fierce ghost. He stretched out his hand, and his originally white palm was suddenly covered with a layer of blue-black color, and the fingertips became sharp, like ghost claws.
"As long as I can get her, I will pay any price, even if I have to pluck out my father's heart and give it to her, as long as I can win her favor.
I want to know now, Nanbei, where is she? Where should I go to find her. "
"Well, Young Master, if that ghost really has an extraordinary origin, it would have entered an extremely secret place by now. This is why the Qianyou Xunying Compass is ineffective."
An old man took a look at the compass in his hand, which was golden in color and dotted with many twisting and wriggling leech-like negative characters, and answered cautiously.
The reason why this magical weapon with tracking effect is considered the secret treasure inherited by the Yinhun Sect is because it is extremely simple to use and its effect is extremely terrifying.
As long as the compass is activated, all the ghosts with superior qualifications within a radius of 100 miles will appear on the compass and be marked one by one.
If one masters this item, and combines it with the method of controlling ghosts and practicing cultivation, any ghost cultivation sect can rise rapidly, and this is only its basic effect.
The second is that it can activate the power of the compass to mark some special ghosts, which is also amazing. It can track thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.
Even if they were in and out of the human world or the underworld, the Qianyou Xunying Compass could track them down. However, this time, the girl they met was too special. She actually made this magic weapon that had been passed down in their sect for thousands of years and was about to be promoted to an immortal weapon useless.
"I just want to confirm her location. If you can't even do this, then what use do I have for you?"
A dark blue color filled with a sense of death spread over the body of the young sect leader. His aura at this moment looked less and less like that of a living person. Instead, he looked like a hungry ghost that was ready to devour its prey.
“Young Sect Master, please calm down. You saw when we first used the power of the compass to mark the ghost, we were still able to determine her location.
It's only recently that I don't know where it is. In this case, I think we can wait for a while. She can't always stay in that secret place.
There will always be a time when it comes out. Once it comes out, we can immediately determine its location. Then, no matter what the young master wants to do, he can do it freely. "
Seeing this young sect leader who seemed to really want to tear them apart alive, an elder with white hair and beard, ruddy complexion, and a bit of an immortal look smiled and bowed, his expression was quite forced and unnatural.
They, the close elders who follow the young sect master, seem to have high status, but it is really torture to follow such a moody and unstable guy. If he goes crazy, he will really kill his own people.
"Then how long do I have to wait?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two elders froze, and they didn't know how to answer. How could they know this? They were not the ghost girl that she had been thinking about all the time. Who knows how long it would take? Maybe she would sleep in the secret realm for a hundred years.
"Young Sect Master, don't be anxious, calm down and concentrate. With your current attitude, what can you do even if you see that girl? Can you still rob her? The other party's origin may be extraordinary, not inferior to the Yinhun Sect, and it is very likely that she is the daughter of a ghost fairy."
The black-armored figure also spoke out to remind and advise at this moment.
"So what if she's the daughter of a ghost fairy? I'm the young master of the Yinhun Sect, and my ancestor was also a human fairy. Once I have the potential to become a fairy, even if she's the daughter of a ghost fairy, am I not worthy of her if I come to ask for her hand in marriage?"
When the young man heard this, his face was immediately filled with pride and complacency. His talent and qualifications were recognized by his ancestors, and he was appointed as the next leader of the Yinhun Sect. Not even his father could shake his position. On the contrary, once he broke through and condensed a third-grade golden elixir, he could kick his father down and sit on the position of sect leader.
But he was not very interested in the power of the sect, because he had long seen that the real power of life and death in the sect was in the hands of those ancestors. His father was the sect leader in name, but in reality he was just a manager.
No matter which ancestor is dissatisfied, he can ask his father to get out. Just like him, he was favored by an ancestor and was appointed as the next clan leader. His father, who seemed to be in a high position and had great power, didn't dare to say a word.
Naturally, he had no interest in such a cowardly sect leader. What he pursued was the path to becoming a human immortal who could stand proudly above all living beings, or even become a blessed earthly immortal who could eliminate disasters and misfortunes and live for more than ten thousand years.
Thinking of climbing to such a realm, it is essential to condense a third-grade golden elixir. But now he has a 90% chance of condensing a third-grade golden elixir. If it is a second-grade one, he has less than 30% chance. As for the first-grade one, there is no chance at all.
That was why he was so delighted when he first saw the ghost girl who called herself Nanbei, but became so crazy after she disappeared.
Because in his eyes, what he lost was not just a gorgeous ghost, but also his hope of condensing a first-grade golden elixir and achieving the path to human immortality. This was equivalent to the severance of his path.
A genius like him, although he has not yet squandered all of his talents, has also seen the end of his path and knows that if he relies solely on his talents, he can reach that step.
Precisely because he has such a clear understanding of himself, he is extremely eager for adventures and rare treasures that can raise the upper limit of his path. He encountered one not long ago, but he listened to the advice of the elders and protectors who accompanied him and put it aside for the time being. He was not in a hurry to act, but he almost lost it as a result.
"The young master has the appearance of a human fairy, so even if she is the daughter of a ghost fairy, she is a good match. If the young master comes to ask for marriage, even a ghost fairy will be extremely happy and will definitely not make things difficult for her."
The white-haired attendant elder was talking nonsense that even he himself did not believe.
The purpose of this young sect leader is too obvious. Anyone with a little knowledge can see that he wants to find a cauldron for achieving enlightenment. If she really is the legitimate daughter of a ghost fairy, it would be a miracle if she didn't get slapped to death if she ran up to ask for marriage.
Moreover, according to his private thoughts, the origin might not be as simple as the daughter of a ghost fairy, because the dress she was wearing was probably a fairy dress. What kind of ghost fairy could let his daughter wear a fairy dress? Even the ghost fairy himself might not have a fairy dress.
Among the three ancestors of their Yinhun Temple Sect, only one of them has a magic weapon, which is said to be an iron lock that can capture people's souls. However, an elder like him has naturally never seen it.
However, even if he had never seen him, he knew that among the three ancestors, the one who possessed the magic weapon had the highest status, surpassing the other two ancestors. He was the one who truly had the final say in the sect.
"That's right."
Another elder nodded repeatedly but could not say anything else. After all, his fellow Taoist had already said all the flattering words, so what else could he say?
"Nanbei, where is she? When will she come out of the secret realm?"
Even these flattering words did not calm the young sect leader's mind. He became more and more violent, with inhuman blue-black ghost patterns spreading across his body, cheeks, and limbs, and a bloody aura filled the air.
The young master, who originally looked quite handsome but had a somewhat sinister temperament, has now turned into a humanoid monster about ten feet tall, with horns growing on his head, bat wings growing on his back, and a long curved scorpion tail sticking out.
As for his white robe that had many ghosts appearing on it from time to time , it now turned into a heavy suit of armor and hung on his body, making the ghosts he transformed into look even more hideous and ferocious.
"The young master is indeed a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years in the Yinhun Sect. Before he was sixty years old, he had already cultivated the Green Ghost Battle Body to perfection. In the three thousand years of the sect's history, he is also a rare hero."
“I heard that when the Soul-Snatching Ancestor had not yet formed his golden elixir, he also cultivated the Green Ghost Battle Body to perfection. The young sect master’s talent can compete with the old ancestor when he was young. He will surely achieve similar achievements to the old ancestor in the future.”
The two elders flattered each other, even at the risk of committing the crime of usurpation. The man in black armor who appeared from time to time just looked at them silently without saying a word.
Buzz~
Suddenly, the compasses held in the hands of the two old guys trembled slightly, and a brilliant purple light appeared on it. The sudden change immediately made the blue-black ghost, who was almost going crazy, cast his eyes over.
The gloom and murderous aura that filled his eyes gradually dissipated, and what emerged was ecstatic madness.
"Is it Nanbei, did she show up?"
The ferocious and burly ghost looked down at the two stunned old guys. The two old guys looked at each other, and then forced a smile on their faces.
"Congratulations, Young Master. Congratulations, Young Master."
"Young Sect Master is truly blessed with great fortune. He is a man of great luck."
"Don't waste time, show me the way."
