The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 208 Choice
"Is this a Nascent Soul relic?"

Chen Jinshu stared blankly at the bone whip in front of him, lost in thought.

She was only two zhang away from the bone whip, but the pressure from this Nascent Soul level spiritual weapon was immense.

She felt that if she took a few more steps forward, she might be seriously injured by the bone whip, who might mistake her for an intruder.

"Yinshan Sparrow, is it this bone whip that draws your energy?"

She asked in a low voice, already holding the Azure Phoenix Pendant in her hand.

"Yes! This is it, but it's so powerful. It's making it hard for me to breathe."

Yinshan Sparrow spoke in a slightly somber tone.

"Senior Qingluan! Do you know the materials of the spiritual artifact ahead?" She quickly activated the Qingluan Mingbi.

The Azure Phoenix, now a spirit of the artifact, immediately materialized and sent its aura toward the bone whip in front of it.

It already knew the answer in its heart.

"It was made from dragon bones. It's just a pity that it's only a hair's breadth away from transforming into a real dragon. It should be a bone whip made from the spine of a dragon."

"Fire attribute, which matches your spiritual root attribute!"

“But this magical artifact is very powerful, and I can’t get close to it,” Chen Jinshu said with some distress.

"Things of this caliber naturally need to be recognized. As for how to obtain them, that's up to you."

After the Azure Phoenix spirit finished speaking, it immediately disappeared back into the jade pendant.

Chen Jinshu couldn't help but feel disappointed, as he had thought he could find a way to obtain this magical artifact.

Although she can't use this bone whip right now, she can use it when she breaks through to the Golden Core stage.

She came to the ruins on this adventure because she realized that relying solely on the Green Jade Harp would not be enough to deal with the enemy from all angles.

She needed a suitable spiritual weapon, and the bone whip in front of her was indeed as Qingluan had said, compatible with her spiritual root.

"Then let's try lotus petal birthmarks!"

She immediately communicated with the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead.

A moment later, the lotus petal birthmark gave her feedback, indicating that it could use its power to collect the item and allow her to slowly refine it.

However, in this way, the lotus petal birthmark can no longer help her refine her spiritual energy.

Upon learning of the consequences, she immediately abandoned her plan to use the lotus petal birthmark to collect the spiritual artifact.

It's simply not worth it. The lotus petal birthmark is crucial to her reaching the Golden Core stage within fifty years. Without its help, her cultivation speed would be much slower.

Spiritual artifacts can be searched and crafted at any time, but such heaven-defying items that purify spiritual energy are not something that can be obtained at any time.

The next moment, she thought of the Mysterious Female Furnace in her mind.

This precious furnace has an extraordinary origin; it might have miraculous effects.

She then began to communicate with the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace, and the result she received greatly surprised her.

The Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace can store this bone whip in the spiritual plant space to suppress it, helping her to slowly refine the spiritual weapon.

Moreover, it won't affect her normal access to the spirit plant space.

The only requirement for the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace is that it be fed with even more precious spiritual substances.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu agreed without hesitation. Feeding the treasure furnace to make it stronger would also indirectly enhance her own abilities.

She immediately used her mind to communicate with the treasure furnace in her sea of ​​consciousness. The treasure furnace was drawn in and immediately flew out from between her eyebrows, transforming into a huge alchemy furnace.

The moment the alchemy furnace emerged, its lid opened automatically, the furnace began to rotate, releasing a beam of green light that enveloped the bone whip, which was then effortlessly drawn into the furnace.

It transformed back into a tiny black dot and burrowed into the center of her mind between her eyebrows.

The moment the bone whip disappeared, the stone chamber where she was located shook violently.

A stone door opened ahead.

Once again, an empty stone chamber appeared.

Without saying a word, Chen Jinshu went straight inside.

As she walked in, another exquisite wooden box appeared in front of her, its patterns shimmering with an undeniable golden light.

"What is it this time?"

Instead of stepping forward, she activated her spirit vine technique to open the wooden box.

The moment the wooden box was opened, a burst of golden light exploded, and a brilliant golden fruit appeared before her.

Her breathing became rapid.

"It's actually the Golden Cicada Jade Fruit!"

The Golden Cicada Jade Fruit is the finest among the spiritual objects used to form the Golden Core, and its effects are even better than those of Golden Cores refined with many other spiritual herbs.

"Could this stone chamber be a series of trials, with only those who pass the first being able to continue and obtain the rewards later?"

However, the bone whip was clearly more valuable than the golden cicada fruit at the beginning, so the order is a bit off!

Chen Jinshu was puzzled, but she couldn't bear to leave such a precious spiritual fruit in front of her.

She tried to control the vine to lift the wooden box off the stone platform, but the box seemed to be embedded in the platform and wouldn't budge.

"What kind of test is this? Recognizing a master? That shouldn't be happening!"

Without further hesitation, she activated the treasure furnace to collect the wooden box.

The wooden box was eventually sucked away by the powerful suction of the treasure furnace.

"Run! Run! Let's see where you can run to!"

Before Chen Jinshu could even feel happy, Chu Ke's sinister laughter came from behind.

Her face immediately turned slightly pale.

I didn't expect them to find us so quickly.

The mechanisms here are well hidden. They couldn't find them at first because they didn't know there were mechanisms. But after she came in, there must have been traces left outside. The dust from the moving stone door and the centipedes with their keen sense of smell outside would have been enough to find her whereabouts.
She clenched her fists, feeling somewhat unwilling. She never expected that after escaping here, she would still perish here in the end.

A moment later, her eyes lit up strangely.

"She also has a spiritual plant space!"

Once she enters the space, as long as she doesn't leave on her own initiative, she will be completely undetectable.

She could lie and claim to have used a teleportation talisman.

The teleportation talisman can bypass many spatial restrictions, making it undoubtedly the best tool for escaping.

Of course she didn't have it. She had searched all the markets near the sect and asked her master. Such heaven-defying treasures were usually kept hidden away to protect their lives and were basically not circulated outside.

But Chu Ke and the others didn't know that she could easily use a high-level talisman to pretend it was a teleportation talisman and then hide in the space.

She could hide for hundreds of years without any problem. The space also contained spiritual energy and many spiritual plants. She could slowly cultivate and she didn't believe she would eventually be unable to defeat them.

"You really think you've got me cornered? How ridiculous!"

"Goodbye everyone! You've heard of the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman, right?"

Chen Jinshu took out a golden talisman from his storage bag, pretended to chant an incantation, and then with a whoosh, he directly entered the spiritual plant space.

The moment she disappeared, Chu Ke and the others were stunned, never expecting that Chen Jinshu would have a life-saving teleportation talisman.

Chu Ke stared ahead with a face full of resentment.

Chen Jinshu vanished without a trace; he couldn't think of anything other than a teleportation talisman. "Damn it! This place is no place to linger! That bitch will definitely tip us off once she gets out!"

Chu Ke immediately sensed something was wrong and said to the demonic cultivators behind him, "Take these people away immediately! This place is not a good place to feed the Demon Lord. One of them escaped; he must have gone to get reinforcements. We must leave as soon as possible!"

Chen Jinshu was somewhat surprised by the perspective evoked by the treasure furnace. He hadn't expected that her departure would give the remaining senior brothers a chance to survive.

Behind Chu Ke were about seven or eight fellow disciples, some of whom were already foaming at the mouth, indicating that they were deeply poisoned. However, without timely antidote, they were likely to die soon.

The others were in better condition and still showed signs of life, but they had fainted.

"Boss Chu, shall we continue exploring this cave? We didn't find anything when we explored it before; there might be more treasures ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ke's eyes lit up; these treasures rightfully belonged to him.

The high platform left empty by the senior was obviously filled with extraordinary treasures, and the thought of Chen Jinshu taking them away filled him with resentment.

"Keep searching. If we find a suitable treasure, we'll split it equally!"

"Thank you so much, Boss Chu!"

Although the Demon Lord can provide them with demonic energy to nourish their bodies and make them stronger, cultivation still requires many resources.

It can be said that without resources, one can hardly move an inch in the world of cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jinshu couldn't help but pray that his fellow disciples would come to their rescue as soon as possible.

We'll save as many as we can.

If we can see this wave of demonic cultivators wiped out, we might be able to earn some contribution points for our senior brothers.

Under Chen Jinshu's watchful eye, Chu Ke and her group continued their leisurely journey toward the cave ahead.

As the group approached the stone platform, the stone door in front of them opened again.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jinshu once again had the idea of ​​escaping.

These people are currently engrossed in searching for treasure, which presents her with an opportunity to escape.

However, she didn't know if there were any demonic cultivators lingering ahead or if there were centipedes or similar creatures, so escaping would not be easy.

……

Just as Chen Jinshu was racking his brains and struggling to make a decision, his senior brother Zheng Shaosi and others had already arrived at Guanghan Immortal City on a spirit ship.

They had notified the sect in advance, and the sect had replied that they had sent a Nascent Soul True Monarch to investigate.

It's just not that fast; it will take at least three hours.

Considering they had so much time, they took the lead in arriving at Guanghan Immortal City to investigate the situation.

When they first arrived in Guanghan Immortal City, they did not engage in any fighting. Instead, they discreetly approached the Golden Core Elder and informed him of the news that Chen Jinshu and others had been lured into danger by demonic cultivators.

This Golden Core elder came from the sect, so he is unlikely to be a demonic cultivator. The sect has conducted multiple investigations, and many fallen demonic cultivators have already been eliminated.

"It was my fault for not seeing Chu Ke's wolfish ambitions at the first moment. I don't know what you think, but I will cooperate with you for the time being."

"Should we find the demonic cultivators in Guanghan Immortal City first?" Xie Mofeng asked with a doubtful voice.

"No!" Huai Jingyi patted his feather fan and shook his head.

"Now that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, this will only put us at a disadvantage. It will allow those demonic cultivators to learn the news in advance, and it may even plunge the entire Guanghan Immortal City into crisis. You must know that when demonic cultivators are desperate, they are capable of anything. We cannot gamble with the cultivators who protect an entire city."

"I wonder what Fourth Senior Brother thinks?" Pang Zhuoqun asked.

"It won't take long for a Nascent Soul True Monarch to arrive. A Nascent Soul True Monarch's escape technique can travel tens of thousands of miles a day. It will only take three hours for him to arrive here."

"They're already on their way. Before that, we need to secretly find out the demonic cultivators' disciples. We need to act covertly and observe their movements. We can make our move when the Nascent Soul True Monarch arrives."

Furthermore, the guards at the city gates will also need to use the Demon-Spying Mirror. Once a demonic cultivator is confirmed, they will be immediately registered, and the True Lord will take immediate action!

Upon hearing this, everyone was very optimistic about the plan.

The only drawback is that it's unclear how long Chen Jinshu can hold out.

The fellow disciples were particularly worried at this time.

Although they haven't spent much time with this newly accepted junior sister, they would still feel bad if something happened to her.

Moreover, they were entrusted by their master to take good care of their junior sister, and now they had to make a vow.

The stone chamber inside the Yuan Ying site.

Chu Ke and the others had arrived at the third stone chamber, but no matter what they did, they couldn't remove the items from the stone platform.

This is a scroll enveloped in a golden aura.

The scroll exuded an aura that was at least at the late Nascent Soul stage, so it should be a cultivation technique.

Once they obtain this skill, it will be an opportunity for them to soar to great heights.

"Brother Chu, this array barrier is very thick and cannot be opened at all," the demonic cultivator said helplessly after trying countless times.

"Useless! You need me to do this little thing!"

Chu Ke cursed and immediately took out the barrier-breaking talisman.

As he chanted softly, several talismans quickly adhered to the surface of the golden barrier, and then, under his control, began to erode the barrier's restrictions.

However, the golden barrier was still too strong, and he controlled the talisman to devour it very slowly.

Watching this scene from inside the spiritual plant space, Chen Jinshu felt there was no rush to come out. Although these people were focused on breaking the formation, there was no guarantee that some cultivators might notice her coming out.

If she were discovered, it would be a catastrophe, and she still believed that her senior brothers would come to save her.

It just might not be that fast.

After thinking about it, she decided to send a message to inform them of the current situation.

As soon as she finished writing the book, the talisman vanished into the void.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of several senior brothers and sisters, which made them overjoyed.

Confirming that their junior sister was alright put their minds at ease.

……

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

After tireless efforts, Chu Ke finally managed to wear down the golden barrier.

He was quite satisfied with the acquisition of the technique.

Then the next stone chamber appeared.

However, he did not go in immediately, but weighed his options. He had already obtained a good opportunity, and there should be something even more precious ahead.

But then he thought of Chen Jinshu, who had already escaped, and wondered if he had already brought Xuanming Sect disciples to besiege him.

Thinking this, his heart began to pound.

"Boss, aren't we going to continue exploring? Why didn't you remind me! So much time has passed; those sect disciples should already be outside. What are we doing here! Let's go!"

Chu Ke looked at the opened stone chamber ahead with a reluctant expression, but still led everyone out of the stone chamber.

After learning about the situation, Chen Jinshu couldn't help but admire Chu Ke's vigilance.

Without hesitation, she immediately sent a message to her fellow disciples who were already lying in wait near the ruins.

Once Chu Ke and her group left, she appeared and continued exploring the stone chamber.

It would be foolish not to take the treasure. There are Nascent Soul cultivators making a move outside, and she'd only be watching anyway, so she might as well take something more practical.
