Chapter 339 Ghost Cultivator
The Sha Yin Sect sent two people in the middle stage of foundation building, while the Gui Xuan Sect only sent one, which means that the strength of the Gui Xuan Sect’s person must be very strong.
"It's hard to take down these two people together. We can't take them down all at once."
He was fully capable of dealing with the two demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, but he was worried that if he couldn't take them down instantly, it would be very troublesome if the other party used some defensive or escape talismans. This was the case with the female demon cultivator he killed before. With the help of the power of the talisman, she was able to withstand several of his attacks.
This kind of powerful elder of the Demon Sect is not like an ordinary cultivator. He comes to this place far away from the sect, and brings his disciples to train, so he will definitely bring some self-defense items.
Moreover, if a battle broke out, the noise would be too loud. Knowing that there were powerful demon cultivators in the other foundation-building stage, they would definitely flee. This was not what he wanted to see.
"Go and see how the arrangements are at Guixuanmen?"
After looking around for a while, he quietly flew towards the direction of Guixuanmen’s camp.
After walking for dozens of miles, we arrived very quickly.
There are surging underground rivers all around here, so it is less hot and stuffy and more chilly than other places.
There was also a strange, cold fog floating around, covering an area of about a mile.
"Ok?"
As soon as he arrived, Lu Luan frowned, "Strange, these cold and gloomy auras are deliberately arranged."
With raging magma underground, this kind of environment is impossible. He saw the clue at a glance that the cold and gloomy air was created deliberately by someone.
He recalled the memory of soul searching in his mind and thought, "It seems that the man from the Ghost Xuan Sect is good at using Yin-cold magical powers. His strength will inevitably be suppressed in this underground. If this arrangement is made, he can maintain his strength."
"It seems we can't get too close."
He shook his head. If this was performed using a cultivation technique, then he would be easily discovered as long as he got close. After all, his cultivation was only at the middle stage of foundation building. Even if he had good hiding skills, he might not be able to avoid being discovered.
"Wait... the cold and gloomy air here seems..."
Just as he was thinking, Lu Luan seemed to feel something and his eyes changed. There was a very faint soul power in the air around him. Combined with the surrounding environment, it seemed that there was a powerful soul in the center of the front, spreading its power in all directions.
Because I deal with souls frequently, the feeling is slight but real.
"Could it be..." He realized something, and with a thought, he took out the magic seedling and held it in his hand.
When the silent sapling came out, it immediately emitted an ecstatic appetite. Its branches swayed, and thick white beard spread out from its roots like hair.
If not for being restrained by Lu Luan, these roots would have already spread deep into the cold and gloomy air.
After seeing Mo Ling Miao's reaction, Lu Luan nodded gently, with a look of joy in his eyes. He smiled and thought to himself, "It seems that the man from Gui Xuanmen is probably a ghost cultivator."
After saying that, he put it away. For the demon spirit seedling to be like this, there must be a huge soul body inside it, and there are also many ghost cultivators in the Guixuan Sect.
A ghost cultivator is one whose soul is fortunately not extinguished after death, thus condensing a ghost body, lingering around and continuing to cultivate. Of course, not every soul can become a ghost cultivator. If a cultivator is nearing the end of his lifespan, his soul will also be annihilated when he dies.
In fact, whether becoming a ghost cultivator or taking over another body when one's life is about to end, it is only a continuation of the original life and cannot increase one's lifespan, unless one is nourished by natural treasures or practices extraordinary skills.
"Although a ghost cultivator with the strength of the middle stage of foundation building is no match for me, it is not easy to catch it."
Although ghost cultivators have ghost bodies, they are not flesh and blood after all. They have unique characteristics of the ghost path, such as their strong movement speed and ability to penetrate rocks, just like loaches in the fields.
Even if they could take him down by force by direct action, it would definitely cause a lot of noise. Then, if the other demon cultivators knew that there were such powerful cultivators underground, they would definitely flee.
"It would be great if I had a formation plate at this time. The soul power of a ghost cultivator of this level is definitely stronger than that of someone in the late stage of foundation building. If I could catch it, just one of them would be enough to make the magic spirit seedling produce another magic spirit fruit." Lu Luan thought.
At this moment, it would be much easier if there was an array plate to act. As long as the demon cultivator could be trapped in the array, there would be no problem at all. He would be like a turtle in a jar, and he could be manipulated at will.
Although the Demon Spirit Seedling is specifically designed to defeat souls, it has no suppressive effect on ghost cultivators.
Lu Luan touched his chin, "The training time for these two demon sects will last at least ten days. If I go to buy one now, it's still in time." He muttered to himself, thinking in his heart.
After some calculations, if this was true, an array plate worth about eight hundred spirit stones would be enough. There were still some spirit stones left from Xiao Shen, plus some of his own family assets and those from the female demon cultivator, which would be enough to buy such an array plate.
Anyway, things like formation plates can be sold for spirit stones when they are no longer needed.
After thinking for a while, he decided: "Then go buy one."
After thinking about it, I felt that it was feasible. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was relatively safe. If I could capture the ghost cultivator, it would be worth it.
Moreover, with the formation plate, it would be much easier to capture other demon cultivators. If all the demon cultivators in the foundation-building stage underground could be captured, it would definitely be a huge fortune. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again.
Having made up his mind, Lu Luan temporarily stepped back, concealing his breath, and flew towards the exit.
In this underground environment, he can still move freely under the noses of the demon cultivators without being noticed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he left the abyss and flew into the forest.
"The nearest trading place is Falling Star City, but it's too small, and no store has the strength to produce a formation plate of this level all at once."
He was thinking that Falling Star City was a small place after all. At most, there were people in the middle stage of foundation building selling treasures. It was unlikely that they would have the kind of formation plate he needed.
"It's Shanghaomen."
He thought of the nearest immortal sect, which was a sect with similar strength to the Hengyun Sect.
"Let's go take a look first."
After saying that, he flew towards Shanghaomen.
He wanted to see if he could buy the formation plate from the surrounding immortal sects.
The mountains kept passing by below us.
If we can take down all those demon cultivators, we will have another trump card for entering the Falling Star Valley.
Sunset.
Among the mountains in the sky, a fairy gate vaguely appears before your eyes.
"Shang Haomen."
Lu Luan stopped, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and then he continued to fly.
Of course, these sects located at the border between immortals and demons always have large formations running, like the Zhengyang Sect, so as soon as you get close, there will be a force that blocks you out.
He is an outsider and certainly cannot enter without a special invitation.
Lu Luan stopped in the air, waiting quietly.
As expected, after a while, an old man flew in from the depths of the sect.
After seeing him, he frowned and asked, "Daoyou, what's the important matter that brings you to Shanghaomen?"
Lu Luan did not hide his cultivation level. After sensing that the old man's realm was the same as his, the old man's tone was quite humble.
Lu Luan smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, fellow Taoist."
After saying hello, he explained his purpose: "Daoyou, I came to your place this time to do business."
"trade?"
The old man looked at him in confusion.
"Well, I've been slaying demons in the east of the Barrens recently, and now I've encountered a tough situation, so I want to buy an auxiliary formation plate from your sect." Lu Luan nodded.
"East of the Barrens."
After hearing his words, the old man immediately showed a look of surprise. That place was the sphere of influence of the demon cultivators, and immortal cultivators rarely dared to enter.
"You are a guest, please go inside and take a rest first."
The old man spoke lightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, an entrance appeared in the sect protection formation, and then the two of them flew into the depths.
The other party has a good level of cultivation, so we naturally have to treat him with courtesy.
Lu Luan looked around. Like the Zhengyang Sect, it was divided into many areas. Disciples of different levels practiced in different areas. Of course, there were also low-level spiritual weapons standing on each hilltop to help disciples practice.
In a few breaths, they arrived at a pavilion on the top of a mountain. After they sat down, the old man waved his sleeves, and some hospitality items appeared. He smiled and asked, "What level of formation plate do you want?"
"Fellow Daoist, you also know that I am, after all, killing demons in the demon cultivators' sphere of influence. It is a job that is licking blood on the edge of a knife. The formation must have extremely strong concealment, and the fighting noise in the formation will not spread outside easily. It would be best if it can trap the demon cultivators in the late stage of foundation building." Lu Luan said slowly.
After hearing this, the old man stroked his long goatee, looked thoughtful, and said softly: "If the concealment is strong, then it will not give you much help in terms of attack power."
"That's not a problem, but does your family have this kind of array?"
Lu Luan asked. He is very powerful now. Generally, there are few people in the late stage of foundation building who can pose a threat to him, so the attack power provided by the formation plate is not too important to him.
"Yes, I have informed the master of my sect's formation hall to come. Fellow Daoist, you are here to eliminate the demon. If you are not satisfied, we will actively help you find it." The old man smiled.
Selling formation plates, talismans, elixirs, etc. to the outside world is also a way for sects to earn spirit stone resources. If there are people who want to buy, they will naturally be willing to sell.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Lu Luan cupped his hands.
After a while, a figure in a green shirt and white hair appeared outside the building.
This is a middle-aged man who appears to be in his forties. He has a cold complexion, an ethereal temperament, and an air of an immortal.
"coming."
The old man stood up and said, "Elder He."
"Fellow."
Lu Luan also bowed.
The visitor nodded slightly and came to him, "Elder Yun sent me a message that we only have one of the formation plates you want. Let's take a look first."
The visitor didn't say much nonsense. He opened his hands and a formation plate appeared in front of him, emitting a faint green light.
Then he pointed and said, "I spent a lot of effort to refine this array plate. I will use it myself. If you like it, seven hundred intermediate spirit stones will be enough."
Lu Luan stretched out his hand and grasped it, his brows furrowed, and he began to circulate his true energy to activate it. He saw the light on the array plate flashing violently. The next moment, with him as the center, all areas within a hundred feet around him were isolated by a mysterious force, like a dome.
"Yes, although it can't trap the demon cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, it is enough to deal with those underground."
After feeling the effect, Lu Luan nodded slightly in his heart, feeling quite satisfied.
But he still shook his head and said with some disappointment: "Although this array is good, it still can't trap a demon cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. Seven hundred intermediate spirit stones are not worth it."
“Fellow Daoist, the formation sealed in this array plate is called the Eight Directions Spirit Suppression Formation. It is good at isolating auras, but its ability to entangle is a bit weak. But as long as the formation is activated, even if you are fighting a fierce battle with a demon cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, people outside will not notice anything.” The middle-aged man introduced.
"Yes, with the help of this formation plate, Daoist friend can enter and exit the sphere of influence of the demon cultivators as easily as entering an empty space." The old man also said.
Lu Luan looked at the array and thought, "The isolation effect is indeed good. If a battle breaks out, people in the middle stage of foundation building will not feel anything unusual as long as they are ten miles away. If the fighting is smaller, they will not be able to detect anything."
Then he repeatedly pondered and tested the formation. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'd better go somewhere else to have a look."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist. I see that you like it very much. As for the price, we can negotiate," the middle-aged man immediately stopped him.
"How to say?"
Lu Luan asked in surprise.
What followed was naturally some negotiation.
After a while, seeing that the time was right, Lu Luan waved his hand, and some things appeared around him, including the corpse of the female demon cultivator and her collection, as well as a long sword. He said, "Daoyou, to be honest, these are the only things I have that are worth some spirit stones. See if you are willing to exchange them."
"The corpse of a demon cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building!"
When the two men saw the demon cultivator, they were horrified. Although the demon cultivator was dead, with their cultivation level, they could feel his strength when he was alive just by the remaining aura.
That person may not be able to be killed even if the two of them join forces.
Looking at the person in front of them, they had to re-examine his strength.
"Is this your weapon, fellow Taoist?"
The old man looked at the sword in the air in surprise.
"Yes," Lu Luan nodded. This was indeed his weapon, and it had been refined and recognized by its master. Now that he had a spiritual spear, he no longer needed it. Although erasing the relationship of recognition of the master would cause some damage to the sword, it was still valuable.
Seeing that he even took out weapons to exchange, the two knew that this was probably all he had.
The corpse of a demon cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building can be used to refine puppets and the like, and its value is not low. If you add up other miscellaneous items, there are almost 600 intermediate spirit stones.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and then said, "Since you are using the array plate to exorcise demons, I will exchange it with you as a token of my good will."
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist."
A smile appeared on Lu Luan's lips.
"Fellow Daoist, if you kill a demon cultivator in the future, you can sell his corpse to us. The price is absolutely fair." said the man.
"nature……"
Lu Luan did not stay long. After a few brief greetings, he took the formation plate and flew to the place where the demon cultivators were conducting trials.
If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.
Looking at the formation plate in his hand, he was confident that he could capture all the demons underground, including the ghost cultivator.
"Next, we need to capture the ghost cultivator first, and then deal with the other demon cultivators."
To him, a ghost cultivator with the strength of the middle stage of foundation building is more valuable than a demon cultivator of the late stage of foundation building.
