Mortal: Intercept Xin Ruyin and copy everything!

Just as Nanlong Hou was about to explain, an old man in white clothes in the middle stage of Nascent Soul suddenly spoke and interrupted the conversation.

"When Master Cang Kun was besieged, he did not die. Instead, he only kept two puppets, concealed the truth, and finally escaped."

“The besieging monks had always mistakenly believed that they had killed Master Cang Kun, but they did not know the truth.

Having said this, the white-robed monk glanced at the monks present and continued:
“It was not until my fellow Daoist Nanlong and I discovered the place where he passed away that we learned about it from the information he left behind.”

"After he disappeared, this master broke into the Demon Valley and became the first person to survive."

Upon hearing the news, everyone present, including Han Li, except Wang Lin, was shocked.

They all looked at each other in confusion as to the authenticity of the news.

"Even if this is true, what does it have to do with Mulan Grassland?"

The dark-faced monk pondered for a moment, then asked with a sneer:
"Did Master Cang Kun really hide all the treasures he obtained in the Demon Valley in a secret cave there?"

"Although what Brother Bing said is not entirely correct, it is close to the truth."

Nanlong Hou stroked his long beard and explained calmly:

"According to the clues left by Master Cang Kun, he stayed in the Demon Valley for several years and passed away not long after he left."

"In my opinion, his death is closely related to the Devil Valley, but he did escape from the Devil Valley after all."

"It's possible that he left the Demon Valley with a lot of precious things."

At this point, Nanlong Hou's eyes moved slightly, looked at everyone, and asked:
"So, are you really willing to miss this opportunity to go to Mulan Grassland?"

Everyone was silent and thought carefully.

No one spoke for a moment.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the old man in white narrowed his eyes slightly, then slowly stepped forward and said:

"We have so many Nascent Soul cultivators traveling with us. If you are not willing to take even a little risk, then please leave now."

The old man in white shirt paused for a moment and continued, "We will look for other Taoist friends to go with us."

After hearing what Nanlong Hou and the old man in white said, Wang Tiangu, the old woman and several other cultivators looked hesitant.

At this time, Han Li beside Wang Lin couldn't help but ask:
"Han has one thing that I don't understand. Since you two already know the exact location of the treasure, why did you specially summon us here?"

"And they specifically emphasize that people with strong spiritual awareness are needed to participate. Is this place difficult to find, or is the opening of the cave related to this?"

Han Li calmly expressed the doubts that had been in his mind for a long time.

Listening to Han Li's question, Nanlong Hou smiled slightly and explained:

"Friend Han, don't worry. This is what I had in mind and I want to explain this matter in detail."

Having said this, Nanlong Hou and the old man in white looked at each other:
"The last time we quietly sneaked into the Mulan Grassland to explore the cave, even though the place was extremely secret, we still found it after a lot of trouble based on the information left by Master Cangkun."

"But unfortunately, there is an ancient magic circle outside the cave, which is extremely mysterious. We tried our best but still couldn't break the barrier and enter."

"Since we were in Mulan Grassland, we didn't dare to stay for long. We had to record the characteristics of this magic circle and return to Tiannan to consult various magic circle books and study the ancient magic circle."

“In the end, it was discovered that the restriction released by this formation was actually the long-lost “Tai Miao Divine Restriction”.

"Great Divine Forbidden!"

Wang Tiangu's face changed when he heard this and he looked quite surprised.

Although others had never heard of this name, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard the "Ten Ancient Taboos".

Obviously, this is not something that can be easily solved.

In fact, for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's spiritual power alone is strong enough to break through this restriction easily.

"I have long heard that you are a master of formations. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved. Even for such a rare ancient forbidden formation, you can understand its secrets!"

Nanlong Hou showed a look of surprise, exchanged glances with the old man in white shirt beside him, and then smiled and praised repeatedly.

"Brother Nanlong, thank you for your praise. I only know the name of this restriction, but I know nothing about how to break it."

Wang Tiangu seemed to have noticed something and quickly responded modestly.

Hearing this, the old man in white shirt smiled for the first time and then explained:
"To break this ban, one must either use brute force to gradually wear it down and force it to break it; or eight cultivators with powerful spiritual consciousness must use the magical power of spiritual consciousness transformation to lift it."

"However, it is not only difficult to crack it by force, but this ancient restriction is also extremely mysterious. Even if the two of us attack it day and night for several months, we may not be able to successfully open it."

"Moreover, how dare we display our magical powers wantonly on the Mulan Grassland? But if we use the powerful spiritual consciousness of fellow Taoists and the method of spiritual consciousness transformation, we can break this formation within a day."

At this point, everyone in the hall finally understood why Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt had summoned them here.

In the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul usually possess relatively powerful spiritual abilities, which are enough to help lift specific restrictions.

However, in this situation, the two middle-Nascent Soul cultivators clearly tended to limit the participation of other powerful cultivators in order to avoid a possible reversal of power.

After listening to these words.

Except for Wang Lin, all the cultivators present had eager expressions on their faces.

After all, this is a rare treasure obtained in the Demon Valley. If you can get one, it will be of great help to you.

Wang Lin looked at the deceived expressions on everyone's faces and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head.

Although treasures are good, you must be alive to get them.

These people are all cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage. If they break the restriction, Nanlong Hou and the other two will have evil intentions.

These people are no match for the two men of Nanlonghou.

After all, the two of them are cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so they can still kill a few people.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Wang Lin did not act any part, but put his hands behind his back and waited quietly.

After half a cup of tea.

After confirming that no one had withdrawn, Nanlong Hou finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He then made a condition:
"Let me make it clear in advance that if we really enter the cave, we will each pick one of the treasures inside first."

"The remaining treasures can then be divided equally. Do you have any objections to this, fellow Taoists?"

Wang Tiangu and other cultivators did not raise any objection to the conditions proposed by Nanlong Hou and his companions.

Given their cultivation levels and their status as initiators, it was reasonable for them to obtain more treasures, so they both acquiesced to this arrangement.

In order to avoid any further complications, everyone quickly reached a consensus and decided to make full preparations within two days before the end of the trade fair and then set off.

After swearing a solemn oath not to disclose the matter to anyone, all the participants left one after another.

Han Li stared at Nanlong Hou and the other man, frowned slightly, then turned and left.

Halfway.

"Brother Wang, I see that the two Nanlong Hous are full of confidence and have obviously made sufficient plans!"

Han Li frowned slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Listening to Han Li's words, Wang Lin smiled and nodded:

"The two of them are already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and they have made sufficient preparations, so they are naturally full of confidence."

"Are you worried that they will abandon you after you've done what you've done?"

Wang Lin's words touched Han Li's heart. Han Li nodded: "After all, the two of them are at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if the six of us work together, we may not be their match."

Listening to Han Li's worried words, Wang Lin chuckled and asked, "Since Junior Brother Han is so worried, why do you still want to participate?"

"Hey!"

Wang Lin sighed softly, and a hint of unspeakable hidden meaning flashed in his eyes:

"Junior brother has also thought deeply about this. Since entering the Nascent Soul stage, due to the lack of suitable elixirs to assist in cultivation, the progress of the Qingyuan Sword Art has been extremely slow."

"If I only rely on my own hard work, it will probably take two to three hundred years to cultivate to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. As for whether I can enter the middle Nascent Soul stage, it depends on chance and luck."

"Now that I have encountered such an opportunity, I naturally don't want to give it up."

Han Li originally planned to spend more than a hundred years in seclusion after the trade fair to practice secret techniques until he achieved some success.

At that time, he will leave the cave and travel around, looking for ancient relics and natural treasures, in order to find an opportunity to break through to a higher level.

Now that he was faced with a good opportunity to obtain the treasures of the Demon Valley, Han Li naturally did not want to miss it.

Perhaps this was an important opportunity for him.

Having said this, Han Li turned to look at Wang Lin:

"Senior Brother Wang is about my age and has a higher level of cultivation than me. There is actually no need to take this risk."

Wang Lin smiled slightly and glanced at Han Li without hiding anything, with a surge of aura around him.

The cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage was fully displayed in front of Han Li.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Wang Lin, Han Li's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Wang, you have made a breakthrough!!!"

Han Li pursed his lips, his eyes full of disbelief.

He originally thought that he had broken through to the early Nascent Soul stage and narrowed the gap in cultivation between him and Wang Lin.

But who would have thought that Wang Lin's cultivation would improve so fast.

After not seeing each other for decades, his cultivation has already entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"No wonder Senior Brother is so confident."

Han Li looked at Wang Lin and chuckled, "This way, you and I, two brothers, can be sure of a safe trip."

At this time, Han Li no longer had the worries he had before and became much more confident.

On the last day, Wang Lin chose to practice in the attic until the agreed time arrived.

As for Nangong Wan, Wang Lin asked her to wait here.

Why not let him go to Yanyue Sect? Of course, he knows that it is not safe there either.

Especially in the original novel, Nangong Wan had already made a secret plan in Yanyue Sect.

I can't protect Nangong Wan if I'm outside, so it's better not to let her stay there.

Afterwards, Wang Lin and Han Li went to a small hill a thousand miles south of Tiantian City to meet with Nanlong Hou and the old man in white.

It is worth noting that Nanlong Hou deliberately changed his clothes and appeared in a light yellow Confucian scholar's outfit.

In the next few hours, other participants arrived one after another, including Wang Tiangu and three others from the Ghost Spirit Sect, who appeared together.

Following an order from Nanlong Hou, eight monks quietly left Tiantian City and headed south to Mulan Grassland.

……

The city of Tiantian, located in the State of Yu, is not close to the Mulan grassland.

Although the Nine-Nation Alliance borders this grassland, there is a vast expanse of loess wilderness between them, stretching for nearly ten thousand miles.

This area has sparse vegetation and is filled with wind and sand all year round.

As such, it became the primary venue for battles and contests between the Nine Nations Alliance and the Mages.

Over the years, tens of thousands of cultivators have died on this land.

Even in normal times, this place is extremely dangerous.

Many monks and mages from both sides roamed here, some openly killing people to steal treasures, while others took risks to break through the bottleneck of cultivation.

Regardless of the reason, the cultivators who dare to set foot here are full of confidence in their own cultivation, which is far superior to ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Most of them are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and occasionally fights between cultivators in the Core Formation Stage occur.

When a Jindan-level cultivator appears, low-level practitioners usually quickly move away to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However, masters at the Nascent Soul level will not frequently appear in such small-scale conflicts.

Therefore, when Nanlong Hou led Han Li and others into the area, others did not pay much attention to it, as if this wasteland did not exist.

For a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, it only takes half a day to travel a distance of ten thousand miles.

So they were in no hurry to travel, but moved at a normal pace.

Nanlong Hou and the old man in white were responsible for leading the way, Wang Tiangu and three others followed behind, while Han Li and several other companions flew in the middle.

On the way, they met some low-level monks, but they did not disturb them. Instead, they flew silently over their heads.

About half an hour later, as they were flying in the wilderness.

The old man in white who was leading the way suddenly stopped, which confused Nanlong Hou and asked what happened.

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I didn't expect that with my joining, I would meet the mage just like in the original plot.

However, Wang Lin was still somewhat interested in the cultivation methods and magic weapons of these mages.

If there was a chance, Wang Lin would naturally not miss it and kill a few mages.

"There seems to be a strong wind blowing ahead, the situation is a bit unusual."

The old man surnamed Yun narrowed his eyes and spoke solemnly.

"Strong wind? Isn't it common to have a little wind here?"

Nan Longhou was slightly puzzled, and then he also released his consciousness to explore forward. He knew that the old man in white would not shoot without a purpose.

Han Li and the old woman and the others behind him also heard the conversation between Nanlong Hou and the other man. After looking at each other, they all took action.

Although they have not actually entered the Mulan Grassland yet, it is always better to be cautious.

They are all people with powerful spiritual awareness. Instead of listening to others' descriptions, it is more reassuring to explore it personally.

When Han Li and others released their spiritual sense to the front, a hint of surprise and confusion appeared on their faces.

"There's something wrong with this wind, not just a little bit. There's definitely something wrong with it. It's definitely not a naturally occurring strong wind!"

After the old woman withdrew her consciousness, she said with a gloomy face.

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.

I saw a strong yellow wind sweeping in, reaching a height of more than a hundred feet, and wherever it passed, sand and rocks flew, and dust covered the sky and the sun. (End of this chapter)
