She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 10 Destruction

After having its power drained away, the evil ghost was no longer a threat.

To be precise, even the true spirit is about to collapse.

Its true appearance was that of a middle-aged man with a gloomy look. At this moment, he was clinging to the locust tree like a painted skin, with dull eyes and an illusory figure, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

In this state, it is no longer threatening at all. Even if no one cares about it, it will collapse on its own if left for a period of time.

But Xie Lian didn't know about this situation.

She still looked at the evil ghost clinging to the locust tree with fear, and after testing it for a long time, she was sure that this guy posed no threat.

"What on earth is it? It looks like a human figure, could it be a tree demon?"

Xie Lian withdrew his gaze, feeling as if he had survived a calamity.

The last time someone was beheaded at Caishikou, she had little choice and her participation was not enough, but this time, she could be said to have participated wholeheartedly. It was so thrilling that it makes people scared just thinking about it.

"Fortunately, the bronze tripod is reliable..."

Xie Lian wiped the sweat off his forehead thankfully and looked at the bronze tripod that was still “embedded” in the locust tree.

The bronze tripod was clearly in an abnormal state at the moment, and Xie Lian was unable to retrieve it remotely.

In desperation, he could only climb up the tree.

The old locust tree was very big, more than enough to bear her weight alone, and she could even lie half-way on its branches.

She wanted to reach out and take the bronze tripod back, but the moment her fingers touched it, a stream of icy cold air rushed into her body.

I shuddered subconsciously.

"What's happening here?"

Xie Lian showed an expression of disbelief.

This icy cool airflow, after entering the body, quickly spread to every part of the body.

It took only ten breaths at most for her to feel that her condition was different.

Not only was the previous fatigue swept away, but the whole person had a sense of emptiness and transcendence.

How should I put it? It's like taking a hot spring bath in an environment of minus thirty degrees Celsius. The feeling of comfort is indescribable.

"What kind of power is this? I feel like it is strengthening my body... but it is completely different from the feeling of the Qingyun Qi in the bronze tripod entering my body before!"

Xie Lian fell into deep thought.

There is a huge difference between these two forces.

When the cloud entered the body, there was no feeling, but the blood, flesh and meridians in the body seemed to be reborn. How to say it, it was like evolving to another level of life. This was the sublimation and transformation of the human body's essence.

But this icy cool airflow was a completely different feeling. It simply strengthened the body. It formed strands of "qi" in Xie Lian's body, flowing throughout the body, and then dissipated a lot of energy, which was absorbed by the body...

"The cloud of energy in the bronze tripod is definitely a divine object in the world. Not only can it bring me back to life, but it can also elevate my life level. In addition, it may have many other magical uses that I still don't understand... This icy breath is far inferior and cannot be compared with it. But to me, this icy breath seems to be the energy for cultivation that I have always dreamed of. Could it be the legendary spiritual energy? Unfortunately, I don't know how to cultivate yet, and can only watch this energy dissipate in my body..."

Xie Lian was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat disappointed.

She could feel that this cool air would definitely be beneficial to her spiritual practice.

Unfortunately, she had no practice method to circulate the energy, so she didn't know how to use it.

After the energy flows aimlessly in her body for a while, it will dissipate. Only a small part of it will be absorbed by her body, which has a strengthening effect to a certain extent.

But what you gain is hardly proportional to what you lose.

How could Xie Lian not feel regretful about this?
But in fact, she was thinking the wrong thing.

After her body was transformed by luck, although it was not as good as the legendary innate Taoist body, it could definitely be called a "Tao body".

This is an excellent physique for cultivation. If you enter a cultivation sect, you will be treated as a genius.

The so-called genius is naturally different from other people. Even if they do not know how to practice, after the energy enters their body, they can intercept and accommodate most of it by relying on their body's instincts.

It is just hidden in her limbs, bones, meridians and internal organs.

Just because she can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. As long as she masters the practice and puts it into practice, the energies will be immediately absorbed and utilized.

At most only 20% to 30% of them actually dispersed.

Xie Lian didn't know that most of the energy accumulated by the Yin Meridian over the years had been absorbed by the bronze tripod, and what was fed back into her body now was only the part transformed by the bronze tripod and the strands of energy that the Yin Meridian was still producing. That's right, the Yin Meridian was not destroyed, it was just that the energy accumulated over the years had been sucked dry, but it would still continue to produce energy, but it was unknown how many years it would take to reach its previous scale...

Although Xie Lian felt sorry for the dissipation of these energies, he did not get too sentimental. Even if these energies were dissipated in her body, they could still bring her some benefits.

Apart from anything else, the feeling of this energy entering her body made her feel unprecedentedly comfortable.

So she was too lazy to get down from the tree, so she just turned over and lay on the tree to rest.

Not long after, he fell asleep.

She had not gotten enough rest in the past few days and had just experienced a life-and-death crisis. Although her body was intact, she was mentally tired. In addition, the feeling of this energy entering her body was so refreshing that it was natural for her to fall asleep.

Little did she know that her sleep would cause an uproar outside.

……

The evil ghost was knocked down to the mortal world and the ghost fog naturally dissipated.

But it takes some time for such thick fog to dissipate.

Zhuang Mochen, who was wandering outside, was just an ordinary man with limited insight, and he couldn't notice anything for a while.

But taking advantage of the cover of night, the two city gods, determined to "die together", came with a large army, and they immediately discovered the changes in the ghost fog.

"Master Huang, look, this is the ghost fog created by the evil ghost. The power of the Yin Vein is so strong. When the ghost fog permeates the whole city, it will be the time of its maturity. What I said before was not an exaggeration. In this battle with the evil ghost, he is like a fish in water, but we are constrained. Alas, in this battle, you and I are really in danger of death. I only regret that I was not careful for a while and caused a disaster... Wait, why is this ghost fog dissipating?"

After seeing the ghost fog, the face of the Xiaoning County City God became even uglier. The speed of progress of this evil ghost was really incredible. After getting the seal of the City God, would he really become a big shot? When he thought of this, he was filled with remorse and felt ashamed. But just when he was about to say something, he was surprised to find that the ghost fog that gave her a headache was actually beginning to dissipate!

What's happening here?
The group of gods in the underworld were all stunned.

"This ghost fog is very helpful to the evil ghost, why would it dissipate on its own? Could it be that it knows we are coming and wants to lure the enemy in?"

The City God of Changxing County looked solemn.

"It's unlikely. As long as it occupies its lair and doesn't move, it will be invincible... And it's us who want to fight it, not it who wants to find us, so why would it lure the enemy?"

The City God of Xiaoning County frowned deeply, his doubts reaching their peak.

This sudden change not only failed to reassure them, but made them even more cautious.

So they immediately sent two teams of ghosts to explore.

The news we got was that there was no danger.

During this process, the ghost fog has dissipated by about one-fifth.

"His!"

The City God of Xiaoning County took a deep breath and kept talking.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"We will know the truth once we see it."

The City God of Changxing County was still very courageous. Without any hesitation, he stepped directly into the ghost fog, which was much denser than before, and walked towards the direction of the Zhuang family's old house.

"It's right here. The roots of the old locust tree in the yard are rooted in the Yin Vein, and the evil ghost is living in the locust tree!"

There was hatred in the eyes of the City God of Xiaoning County, a powerful enemy was right before their eyes!

"No need to say more, the City God's Office has its own gods, and the Yin messengers obey orders!"

The City God of Changxing County took a deep breath and said in astonishment.

"To enjoy the incense of the secular world, we should solve the difficulties of the secular world! Everyone, do your best to kill this beast!"

As he spoke, he took the City God's magic sword and rushed in first.

All the evildoers rushed into the Zhuang family's old house from all directions with the determination to die.

But the moment they entered the old house, they all fell into confusion.

What's happening here……
