Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 253 Withered Grass, Flower of Life and Death, Making a Move
"I've finally mastered the art of communicating with the underworld."

Chen Yushu glanced at the attribute panel and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Although he had cultivated this art of communicating with the underworld before, it was actually at the critical point of breaking through.

However, based on his previous experience, it would take him at least another day to cultivate it to the mastery level.

Now, it has been achieved ahead of schedule.

Ultimately, it all comes down to entering the Dao realm and reaching a constant level.

Feeling relieved, Chen Yushu finally turned his gaze to his surroundings.

A look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

Because whenever he appears, whether it's the evil-faced ghost, the red-haired corpse king, or the pig demon elephant, they will automatically stand around him, looking around warily.

of course.

It doesn't mean that they will all automatically stay here when he's not around.

During this period, they will gradually go out to forage for food.

Although most of them are undead creatures, they also have the instinct to forage for food. However, what they eat are other yin spirit creatures, which are soul crystals, soul essences and vital energy.

Of course, most of the time, they would still gather at the place where Chen Yushu had left, guarding it so that he wouldn't be without their protection when he came.

After all, it is indeed a relatively dangerous thing to be discovered by other powerful ghosts when entering or leaving the underworld.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Let's go and have a go at that flying blood zombie!

Seeing that they were all there, Chen Yushu did not hesitate and spoke directly.

Immediately, the three spirits and one person set off again, heading towards the direction where the Flying Blood Zombie was located.

The Flying Blood Zombie is located on a high mountain, surrounded by special red-leaf trees, and from a distance, it looks like an active volcano.

But there was no heat wave here.

Spirits rarely dare to survive in places with sweltering heat.

After all, ghosts and spirits are naturally inclined to prefer yin and fear yang. Those who can survive in such a state without being affected must be at least at the disaster level, or even the calamity level.

Moreover, even if such beings are not afraid of being burned by flames, they would most likely not like living in such an environment.

Therefore, this red-leaf tree is actually just a yin-attribute plant; it's just that its leaves are red.

However, beneath the red-leafed tree, Chen Yushu also discovered many spiritual plants and medicinal herbs.

The Withered and Flourishing Grass is a special Yin-attribute spiritual plant that contains both the power of life and death.

If used properly, it can increase the growth rate of the corresponding spiritual plant to a certain extent; however, if used improperly, it will cause the spiritual plant to wither and die quickly.

He is a medicinal herb grower, also known as a spiritual plant master in ancient times, and his spiritual plants are of great importance.

"It's a pity I don't know the method for adjusting the life and death power of this spiritual material."

Otherwise, if used to cultivate rare spiritual materials, its effects would be considerable.

Chen Yushu looked at the dense, withered and flourishing grass under the red-leaved tree. Some of them were extremely old, and some could be called grass kings, with an age of more than three hundred years.

This is almost the limit of the growth of this withered and flourishing grass.

As it continues to grow over the years, it will transform into a rare and precious treasure, its value immeasurable.

To know.

The reason why common precious medicines vary in price is mainly due to three categories, in addition to the variety of medicines.

These are respectively categorized as earth materials, spiritual materials, heavenly materials, and earth treasures.

Among them, earth materials are the most common. Although they contain spiritual essence and are extremely beneficial to ordinary people, martial artists, and cultivators, their actual help is not that great.

The precious ginseng that Chen Yushu's father sent away was of this level.

As for the local materials, their value is even higher.

The ages of these items are generally over 100 years but less than 300 years.

Materials aged between three hundred and five hundred years are considered spiritual materials.

"Heavenly materials" refers to medicinal herbs that are 500 to 1000 years old.

As for the Earthly Treasures...

It takes at least a thousand years of medicinal materials to produce such a product.

That's why there's the saying about rare and precious materials in the cultivation world.

This means that materials of the two grades, Heavenly Treasure and Earthly Treasure, are treasures that countless cultivators need to compete for and vie for.

The left and right sides are often incredibly mysterious.

Take this withered and flourishing grass for example. Its growth limit is three hundred years. If it reaches five hundred years or more, it will often undergo a transformation and bloom into a flower of birth and death.

Within the blooming flowers lies boundless vitality, capable of bringing the dead back to life, healing flesh and bones, and restoring even the most severe injuries to their original state.

The Flower of Extinction contains endless death energy, making it a treasure coveted by any departed soul.

Once consumed, it will cause their soul and body to undergo a transformation, giving their bodies and souls a special baptism, thus making their foundation and strength much stronger than ghosts of the same realm.

"So many withered and flourishing grasses."

There will always be a special king of herbs.

Perhaps there truly are beings that grow to their extreme, thus breaking through the limitations of life and achieving the state of a flower that blooms and fades?

Looking at the withered and flourishing grass covering the mountain, Chen Yushu couldn't help but show a solemn and expectant expression.

The somber atmosphere stemmed from the fact that since this place possessed the withered and flourishing grass that gave rise to life and death flowers, there was no doubt that the death flower must have been consumed by the flying blood zombie that occupied this place.

Undead creatures mostly act on instinct and are almost incapable of restraint. When they possess a treasure that is of great benefit to them, they will refrain from using it.

Therefore, if a withered grass that produces flowers of life and death truly grows here, it must have already been eaten by that flying blood zombie.

No wonder it made the evil-faced demon, the red-haired zombie king, and the pig demon so wary.

Having consumed the Flower of Destruction, its strength will definitely be much greater than that of other ghosts of the same level.

Even many evil spirits are inferior in terms of combat power.

And we look forward to it.

This is because the flower of birth and death is a companion flower of life; where there is a flower of birth, there must also be a flower of death.

If the Extinction Flower is something cultivators would avoid like the plague, then the Life-Giving Flower is equally terrifying to ghosts and spirits, possessing endless poison.

If the Flying Blood Zombie consumed the Extinction Flower, then the Life Flower would still exist in its original place, unpicked.

"If that's the case."

"I might very well obtain that blooming flower."

Upon thinking about this, Chen Yushu suddenly became somewhat excited.

It feels like I have another goal this time.

"Soon."

It should be just ahead!

A mental fluctuation emanated from the pig-demon elephant.

As Chen Yushu looked past a grove of trees, he clearly sensed that the spiritual particles not far ahead were much denser than in other places.

Clearly, that was the dwelling place of the flying blood zombie. Indeed.

As they crossed the mountain.

From afar, he saw a figure, its entire body crimson and its flesh almost entirely grotesque, appear before him.

On its body, there was a bunch of fleshy wings, which, although covered with some fur, were all red.

Its face was as ugly as ever, with eyes that were a human-like black, a pointed mouth and a long nose, which was quite peculiar.

"Tsk~!"

Chen Yushu and the others did not conceal their figures or auras.

The evil-faced ghost, the red-haired corpse king, did not know how to conceal his aura.

Therefore, the other party noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest immediately.

Then, the other party let out a warning shout.

Then, seeing that Chen Yushu and the others showed no intention of giving way, a red light flashed in its eyes, and its pair of fleshy wings suddenly spread out.

The next moment, it soared into the sky, rushing over like a bolt of lightning.

woohoo...

The speed was incredibly fast.

"Jie!"

Seeing this, the evil-faced demon let out a fierce roar and charged forward with its claws, which resembled two sharp knives.

The red-haired corpse king stretched out its arms and quickly rushed forward, thrusting its paws at the body.

The Red-Haired Corpse King, as a Corpse King, is not only incredibly skilled at burrowing underground, but also possesses a pair of incredibly hard arms that are its divine weapons. Once pierced by them, the damage is no less severe than that of the Evil-Faced Ghost's two swords.

Moreover, his claws contain a terrifying corpse poison. Any living being that comes into contact with it will be poisoned, not only rapidly infecting the opponent's body and soul, but also possessing a terrifying assimilative power.

Once assimilated, one will naturally be considered inferior and subject to its control and enslavement.

Like the many red-haired zombies Chen Yushu encountered in the other party's territory, many of them were not even the same type of creature as it, but they all possessed the same characteristics as it, and were all zombies assimilated by it.

The evil-faced demon and the red-haired zombie king charged forward almost simultaneously.

The pig-demon elephant, on the other hand, only let out a low growl.

A dazzling light flashed across its body, and almost instantly, a transparent defensive light wave formed around it and Chen Yushu.

It was the special defensive power that the Pig Demon Elephant had previously displayed: the Vajra Subduing Demon Shield.

Its strength is extremely high, its power is immense, and its fighting ability is incredibly fierce.

But as its owner, Chen Yushu would naturally choose to make the best use of it.

And it will naturally make use of this defensive capability.

Therefore, while ordering the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king to fight, he also immediately ordered the pig demon elephant to use this defensive ability.

Immediately afterwards, the pig-elephant, carrying a huge club, landed on the ground with a series of thuds, and joined the battle at that moment.

The long staff in his hand was like a golden cudgel that could sweep across the world. He swung it fiercely at the flying blood zombie.

As for Chen Yushu...

Naturally, I was not idle either.

Although he ordered the pig demon to use the Vajra Subduing Demon Shield to provide a comprehensive defense for his surroundings.

But he himself wasn't idle either.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he unleashed a spell: Seven-Colored Glazed Divine Light.

Once Chen Yushu reached a stable meditative state, he also discovered that the experience points he could gain each time he used it increased significantly.

The corresponding casting speed and power have been greatly increased.

Just like this seven-colored glazed divine light, it used to take him at least twelve breaths to unleash it.

Now, Chen Yushu used the Seven-Colored Glazed Divine Light, which is also at the beginner level, in just eight breaths.

He had already experienced this when he used the technique of communicating with the underworld before.

However, because he had just broken through from the beginner stage to the expert stage when he used the technique of communicating with the underworld, he didn't think much about it instinctively.

When he unleashed the Seven-Colored Glazed Divine Light, he immediately sensed a difference.

Seven-Colored Glazed Divine Light +9
Instantly, a layer of auspicious seven-colored light appeared on Chen Yushu's body, protecting him firmly.

boom!
Just then, the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired zombie king were already engaged in battle with the flying blood zombie.

The loud noise caused the surrounding red maple trees to vibrate, and countless leaves fell to the ground.

Then two figures were seen flying backwards even faster than they were rushing forward.

In just one exchange, both the evil-faced ghost and the red-haired corpse king were sent flying. The evil-faced ghost, in particular, had its soul slightly dissipated, with wisps of its soul essence leaking out, clearly indicating that it had suffered considerable injuries.

Looking at the red-haired zombie king again, its entire chest was caved in, unable to withstand the fierce attack of the flying blood zombie, and it suffered a serious injury.

Fortunately, at that moment, the attack from the pig-elephant arrived.

Huhu~
The enormous stick, like a towering pillar, was swung out with tremendous force.

With a flash of its fleshy wings, the Flying Blood Zombie vanished from its spot.

When it reappeared, it was already a zhang away.

However, the giant club of the boar demon elephant was too long and too big. Even though it flew more than ten feet away, the terrifying power contained in the club still swept over it, causing its body to tremble and fall down violently.

But it quickly regained its balance, and with a flash, it appeared directly beside the boar-elephant, striking out with a vicious claw.

sizzle...

Even with the incredibly thick defense of the boar demon elephant, a huge gash was torn open at this moment, and its soul essence dissipated.

Even this small amount of soul essence is insignificant compared to the terrifying body of the pig demon elephant.

But it was already injured and had not yet fully recovered. This attack made it instinctively tremble and a trace of awe flashed through its eyes.

It had fought the Flying Blood Zombie more than once before.

Of course, I know the other party's strength.

Even at his peak, he was no match for his opponent. Now, with his previous injuries still unrepaired, he is even less of a match for him.

For example, the same claw from the other party could only leave a few white marks on its body before, without breaking through the flesh.

But now, it has been torn apart... Besides the fact that his strength has not fully recovered due to his injury, the most fundamental reason is that the Flying Blood Zombie has become stronger again.

"Ow!"

The pig-like elephant let out a long roar and then swung its giant club again.

Seeing this, the Flying Blood Zombie was about to use the same trick again, employing its almost teleportation-like movement technique, when the Evil-Faced Ghost, who had just been knocked away, rushed over and blocked the Flying Blood Zombie's escape route in advance.

At the same time, the red-haired zombie king suddenly shot out from under the ground.

This directly sealed off the space below the flying blood zombie.

"Roar!"

The Flying Blood Zombie roared and swung its claws fiercely.
