Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 88: Another incident. (Thanks to fellow Gou Dao immortal "Lin Lan'an" for the leader's reward!)
As soon as he finished speaking, the two ninth-level Qi training cultivators walking at the back instantly closed the stone door.

Boom!
The heavy stone door closed, cutting off the connection between this underground space and the outside world.

Before the mortals could react, someone immediately asked, "Immortal, Immortal Master, where is the elixir of immortality?"

The monk who was asked did not hesitate at all. He waved his long sleeves and stirred up a violent gust of wind.

call!
The dozens of mortals walking in front were like kites with broken strings, and were immediately swept into the abyss by the strong wind.

The next moment, the three alchemists sitting cross-legged in the square simultaneously cast a strange spell.

boom! ! !
In the dark abyss, a purple-black flame immediately rose.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The mortals who fell into the abyss let out extremely shrill screams.

At this point, other mortals finally realized that something was wrong.

"There's no elixir of life! There's no elixir of life! This is a scam!"

"You are not immortal masters! You are evil spirits!"

"Spare, spare my life..."

For a moment, curses and pleas for mercy were heard everywhere, and the crowd was in chaos and fled in all directions.

The four cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training remained calm and ignored the cries of these mortals. They immediately took action.

Strong winds followed one after another, and soon blew all mortals into the abyss like dry branches and rotten wood.

The screams resounded through the abyss, causing waves of echoes.

The three alchemists also had calm expressions. They just made hand gestures and started refining the elixir.

The four monks who brought the mortals down each occupied a position and guarded them.

Purple-black flames roared and rolled in the abyss, and all the mortals thrown in were quickly burned to death. The blood containing yang energy was extracted from the flames bit by bit under the stimulation of the magic formula.

But the screams below did not stop, but became louder and louder.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"what--!"

The shrill howls became more and more piercing. Although flames were erupting in the abyss and seemed to be rising into the sky, the temperature of the entire space was getting lower and lower.

The expressions of the four guardian monks suddenly became very solemn.

At this moment, a huge human face suddenly rose from the bottom of the abyss.

This human face filled the entire abyss. From the square, it seemed to cover the sky and the sun. It was made up of densely packed skulls, and was surrounded by a strong yin energy, like suspended black water.

The human face rose into the air, overlooking the monks in the square.

The four guardian monks did not hesitate and immediately cast a series of spells at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, dense array patterns emerged on the square, and countless pitch-black chains suddenly sprang out, crisscrossing each other like a huge net, spreading over the abyss and covering the terrifying human face.

Blah blah blah...blah blah blah...

The chains vibrated, and wisps of light from the formation continuously emerged. The human face struggled desperately and twisted in it, revealing an extremely ferocious expression.

Even though it was already firmly caught in the giant net of chains, it continued to rush upwards, pulling the chains so hard that the sound of metal clashing continuously erupted.

At the same time, the skulls that made up the human face opened their mouths and let out hysterical roars.

These roars reached the ears of the four guardian monks, and their faces suddenly twisted, their qi became disordered, and their yin energy became strong!
They quickly took out the [Quyin Pill] they had prepared in advance and swallowed it directly.

One of the monks in green robes frowned and said in a deep voice, "The things down there are getting stronger and stronger!" "If this continues, the next time I refine the elixir, or the next time after that, something might go wrong!"

Hearing this, another monk in a yellow robe sneered and replied, "Someone said something like this more than a decade ago."

"But now more than ten years have passed, and it's still like this!"

"Don't worry, with this Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Soul-Locking Formation, and the Evil-Suppressing Ritual at the center of the formation, even if all the mortals in this city were refined, nothing would happen!"

A monk in a dark grey robe said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless."

"The earth veins below here are connected to many villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the county. Every time I refine the elixir, those villages and towns will help share the negative energy here."

"But in recent years, many villages and towns below have been destroyed by ghost plagues."

"There are fewer and fewer villages and towns that can share the negative energy here."

"If this continues, something big will happen sooner or later."

The last monk in a navy blue robe shook his head slightly and said, "It's just a small county town on the border. As long as we successfully establish our foundation before this, we will be fine!"

"In the next period of time, we will increase the number of patrol personnel in the city."

"Also, arrange for more monks to take charge of the surrounding villages and towns."

"There are so many monks in the academy. Even if something goes wrong, it can be suppressed in a short time!"

As he spoke, the terrified human face in the abyss let out another shrill and piercing roar.

※※※

The underworld space.

Feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, Zheng Que nodded with satisfaction. He had reached the fourth level of Qi training!
Sure enough, with sufficient resources, the speed of cultivation improvement is fast.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that unfamiliar names began to appear on the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him.

"...Bao Hui. Birthplace: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 21 years, 1 month, and 9 days. Burned to death at midnight."

"...Qiu Sanniang. Birthplace: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 24 years, 8 months, 22 days. Burned to death at midnight."

"...Zou Yi. Birthplace: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 22 years, 11 months, and 1 day. Burned to death at midnight."

"...Ke Dalang...burned to death at midnight."

The names kept piling up, like a waterfall, all at the same hour! The same method of death!
Looking at this scene, Zheng Que's eyes widened instantly.

This situation is very similar to the one in Changfu Town!

Did Taiping County also encounter a terrifying ghost similar to the "Evil Shadow Play"?

This……

After returning to reality, leave Taiping County as soon as possible!

Do not!
If it's the same as the time in [Evil Shadow Play], the ghosts will be guarding outside the city, and it will be too dangerous for someone to leave the city alone!
We need to find more monks and leave the city together!
With this thought in mind, Zheng Que stared at the [Book of Life and Death] and began to wait silently.

Black energy was bubbling from his brows, continuously sinking into the [Book of Life and Death]. At this moment, time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly.

Finally, the last wisp of black air sank into the [Book of Life and Death], and the [Book of Life and Death] condensed into an imperial decree and struck him between the eyebrows.

Zheng Que felt a pain in his forehead and opened his eyes again. He saw that it was already early morning outside the window covered with mulberry paper.

Ku Lan was sitting on a stool not far away, still protecting the Dharma seriously.

It took him nearly a day to break through this time!
