Chapter 493: Using a Method to Test the Heart of Tao

Yun Zhongjun immediately understood that the Great Witch Priest might have discovered his trace but was not sure, so he wanted to use this treasure to test him.

Otherwise, he could have done without such a unique magic weapon as the White Bone Soul-Killing Needle. After all, the witchcraft had undergone several generations of replacements in order to pass on its tradition. The White Bone Soul-Killing Needle series of magic weapons could be regarded as one of the predecessors of today's White Bone Magic Sect.

Yun Zhongjun didn't believe that the great witch priest didn't have other similar magic weapons, or updated magic weapons.

The purpose of choosing something so distinctive is essentially to test whether Yun Zhongjun is secretly watching.

But the High Witch Priest's method was an open conspiracy. Under normal circumstances, Yun Zhongjun would have no choice but to fall into the trap, because he could not possibly watch Cang Xuan and Long Gu being actually stabbed by the White Bone Soul-Killing Needle.

Once he gives this reminder, he will inevitably expose some of his own information.

After all, the High Shaman would choose to let Yixing go, which must mean that this guy is proficient in some infiltration techniques. Even reminders may not be effective, and Yunzhongjun will need to observe carefully and protect him.

"If you can't stop a thief, you can't stop him. If he keeps testing me, I won't be able to hide it completely no matter how capable I am. But as long as we add new people, we can add new variables to the original one."

Yun Zhongjun, who was clearly aware of this, decisively chose to remind Cang Xuan and Long Gu, asking them to prepare some countermeasures, and then find Lingshu Taoist, one of the Eight Immortals from overseas who first entered the Northern Wilderness.

As a fellow practitioner of Long Gu, although Lingshu has only condensed the fifth-grade Jade Sky Five Thunders Spirit Qi, his method of cultivation is called "Taishang Jade Sky Subduing Demon Secret Scroll", which is one of the most powerful thunder methods in the immortal way, and records many of the immortal way's first-class secret methods of subduing demons.

However, Lingshu's method of cultivation was incomplete. He only got the second volume of "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demon Secret Scroll", which recorded many methods of subduing demons, methods of refining weapons and treasures, and methods of setting up strange formations, but did not cover much about the core cultivation.

This is also the reason why Lingshu’s cultivation has never been high.

But no matter what, "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demon Secret Scroll" is the first-class method to subdue demons. It records the method against the White Bone Demon, which can greatly resolve the impact of the White Bone Soul-Killing Needle.

Yun Zhongjun thought about it and connected his mind to Chu Tai.

"Help Lingshu?"

When Chu Tai received the message from Yun Zhongjun, he was stunned for a moment. The magic of [One] took effect and merged him and Yun Zhongjun into one individual. Yun Zhongjun's memory returned to Chu Tai. He understood the cause and effect, and reached out to take the parts of "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demon Secret Scroll" collected from Jinhua Cave Heaven and Yantianzong Cave Heaven.

After gathering the information from the two together, Chu Tai recited "Yun Zhongjun" and summoned mist to cooperate with Yun Zhongjun. The two sides made hand gestures to attract a little spiritual light, and then a jade page condensed in the mist and fell into Yun Zhongjun's hands.

Holding the fragments of "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demons Secret Scroll" that he had just compiled, Yun Zhongjun blew a breath, and a thin mist wrapped around the jade page, which transformed into a phantom and appeared not far in front of Lingshu entering the Northern Wilderness.

Lingshu, who was riding the lightning all the way forward, plunged into it as expected. Before he could react, he felt a surge of hot air rising up.

Lingshu was startled and looked carefully, he saw flames rising from the sky in the distance and a strong aura of death rising.

"Hanba?" Lingshu called out the other party's origin, and saw twelve rays of spiritual light falling down, turning into a dark cloud canopy of hundreds of acres, trying to suppress the anger and death.

But the fire was extraordinary, and the deathly aura was also terrifying. After rushing into the dark cloud canopy, it stirred up the clouds. Even though the monks in the cloud canopy cast spells to try to balance the water and fire and harmonize the yin and yang in the cloud canopy, they could not stop the clouds from dispersing. The only thing to be thankful for was that the deathly aura in the fire was also dissipated along with the clouds.

At the same time, the cultivator also discovered Lingshu and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist, please lend a hand and help me suppress this evil corpse Hanba." But Lingshu did not act immediately. He had also been a cultivator for many years and had heard of many methods of plotting against people.

For example, they create a scenario where evil demons are born in a certain place, and then when kind-hearted people come forward to help, they team up with the evil demons to beat the kind-hearted people to death.

For example, if one knows that he is unable to suppress the evil, he may trick kind-hearted people into coming to help and then run away.

The list goes on and on.

The monk seemed to have seen Ling Shu's concerns and shouted, "Don't worry, I'm not an evil demon..."

The man had just said half of his words when the suppressed Hanba began to shake violently, and red flames mixed with black mist gushed out. That was the poisonous fire that was bred after the evil spirit of the earth nurtured the Hanba's body. Ordinary people who came into contact with it would inevitably be poisoned and quickly burned to death by the poisonous fire.

The monk obviously had no ability to defend himself and could only dodge left and right.

When Lingshu saw this scene, although he was still worried, he couldn't help but send out a few lightning bolts to help.

"Good thunder method!"

Seeing the lightning flashes falling, the monk was very happy and said loudly: "Daoyou, I think your method seems to be related to the "Great Jade Sky Subduing Demon Secret Scroll". I happen to have a fragment in my hand. If you are willing to help, I will give it to you as a reward. How about it?"

Hearing this, Lingshu became even more alert, and the man seemed to see Lingshu's concerns and handed the fragment in his hand to Lingshu first.

With just one glance, he realized that this thing was the rest of his practice method "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demon Secret Scroll". There were a few methods targeting internal and external demons, which could be considered as auxiliary methods for the practice method. It should be the middle volume, but after reading it carefully, he found that some of the content seemed to involve some of the practice methods in the upper volume.

'It looks like a collection of the "Great Jade Sky Subduing Demon Secrets" by a cultivator himself, but most of them are parts I don't have.'

Feeling slightly delighted, after writing down the contents, Lingshu returned the fragment and summoned the Tianguang Five Thunder Mirror.

It was a precious mirror made of a special material, like wood but not wood, like gold but not gold, with five-colored lightning patterns flashing on it. When it was shone on the drought demon, a flash of lightning fell, suppressing the drought demon's poisonous fire and death energy one by one, and cooperating with the cultivator to suppress the drought demon bit by bit.

During this time, Lingshu had been secretly holding the Five Thunders Heart Pearl, and his magic power surrounded the Yuxiao Five Thunders Demon Subduing Order. Once the monk encountered any mishap, he would immediately use the two magic weapons.

"Huh...finally succeeded."

After suppressing Hanba, the monk breathed a sigh of relief, expressed his gratitude to Lingshu, and asked him the purpose of his visit.

Ling Shu still showed some reservations and did not speak directly. The man did not ask further questions. After thinking for a while, he handed the fragment of "Taishang Yuxiao Subduing Demon Secret Scroll" to Ling Shu and said with a smile: "We agreed before that if you help me suppress Hanba, I will give it to you as a reward. Keep it quickly and don't be polite."

Upon hearing this, Lingshu instinctively wanted to refuse.

"This item is not an ordinary item. I can see that it has a deep spiritual aura. It is a top-quality spiritual material. I cannot take it."
