Living in Yellow Maple Valley, I steadily cultivate immortality with a daily divination!

Chapter 134 An Unexpected Change! Elder Xinggong is puzzled! Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng!

Just as the ghost was about to harm Zi Ling, Lin Chuan intervened.

A golden sword light pierced through the air, carrying the power of the exorcising divine thunder, instantly cleaving the ghost in two!

The ghost let out a miserable scream and vanished into black smoke.

Zi Ling swayed and nearly fell. She gasped for breath and looked up at her savior.

"Zi Ling thanks you for saving my life, senior."

Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying a hint of relief at surviving a disaster.

"So you are the Purple Spirit Fairy, known as the most beautiful woman in the Chaotic Star Sea."

Lin Chuan smiled slightly, his tone carrying a perfectly timed hint of surprise.

He knew all along, of course, but he still had to pretend that he had just found out.

Just then, Yuan Yao, who had been following behind Lin Chuan, suddenly took off her black hood.

A stunningly beautiful face was revealed.

This woman has skin as white as snow, so delicate it seems to break at a touch, and long, jet-black hair that cascades down her shoulders like a waterfall.

The golden hair ring on her forehead added a touch of mysterious charm.

Her features are exquisite and aloof, making it difficult to look away once you see her.

Cold and aloof, with unparalleled elegance.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but glance at the woman a few more times when he saw her beauty.

A strange thought then arose in his mind:

Why is this woman taking off her hood at this time? Could it be because she glanced at Zi Ling a few too many times, and she... wants to compete with Zi Ling?

The thought only flashed through Lin Chuan's mind for a moment before he stopped thinking about it.

"Zi Ling, with your Foundation Establishment cultivation level, you should leave as soon as possible after the first level is over. The subsequent levels are beyond your capabilities."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he continued on his way with Yuan Yao.

Zi Ling was left standing there, watching his retreating figure, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

……

Because of Lin Chuan's large-scale hunting, the danger level of the entire Ghost Mist Land has dropped sharply.

Lin Chuan dealt with far too many of the powerful ghosts that would normally give cultivators a headache.

The remaining minor characters posed little threat to the later cultivators.

The cultivators who entered this place afterward passed through the Ghostly Vengeance Land with almost no difficulty.

Many people are wondering: Isn't the place of the haunted and wronged supposed to be more dangerous each time? How come it was so easy this time?

But despite the doubts, it's always a good thing to be able to pass the test easily.

……

As time passed, the exit of the Ghost Mist Land gradually became lively.

This is a place that resembles a garden.

Nearby, there are not only patches of exotic flowers and plants whose names I don't know, but also seven or eight exquisitely carved jade pavilions, standing gracefully and elegantly.

At this time, nearly a hundred cultivators had gathered in this area, and cultivators were still emerging from the exit of the ghost mist from time to time.

In two jade pavilions in a corner of the garden, the two Star Palace elders sat cross-legged.

As they watched the growing crowd, which had even exceeded one hundred people, their faces showed no joy, but rather deep sorrow.

"How could this happen?"

One of the elders frowned and muttered to himself.

"The number of people who have crossed the Ghost Mist Land this time far exceeds the usual number. This is strange. Logically, the Ghost Mist Land should become more dangerous and difficult with each crossing, so why is it that this time..."

"It seems someone did something in the ghostly fog."

Another elder said in a deep voice, "Most likely, some powerful figure intervened and cleared out a large number of ghosts from the Ghostly Land, reducing the difficulty of the challenge."

"Who is it? The Bearded Man? Wan Tianming? Or Ji Yin?"

"It's hard to say. But whoever it is, this isn't good news for our Star Palace. With so many people flooding into the later stages, even more people will gain opportunities. Those treasures should have been..."

"Hmm." The first elder nodded, his eyes flashing. "It seems we'll have to tamper with things in the next stage. We can't let so many cultivators who have gained opportunities in the Void Heaven Palace return alive."

"Let's start with the Ice and Fire Path."

The last few words were exchanged secretly via telepathy, unknown to others.

……

At the last moment, Lin Chuan and Yuan Yao came out of the exit one after the other.

The two pretended not to know each other and each found a corner to stand in.

The Soul-Crying Beast had already been put into Lin Chuan's spirit beast pouch.

Han Li saw Lin Chuan finally emerge from the crowd and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had Xuan Gu as an ally, he remained wary of that old monster. In comparison, his fellow disciple Lin Chuan was more trustworthy.

When Fairy Ziling saw Lin Chuan come out, she nodded slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

Lin Chuan nodded slightly in response.

Time passed by, second by second.

Finally, amidst the thoughtful gazes of the crowd, a blinding white light shone from the bare stone slab in the center of the garden!

All the cultivators' attention was immediately drawn to it.

Having experienced the initial situation, no one showed any surprise – the teleportation array to the second level was about to open.

After the white light dissipated, a teleportation array about ten feet in size appeared on the stone slab, exactly the same in shape and size as the one in the previous hall.

"This teleportation array is the only path to the next level, 'The Path of Ice and Fire'."

After speaking, the two Star Palace elders stepped into the teleportation array first, and disappeared in a flash of white light.

Immediately afterwards, those Nascent Soul stage monsters also set off.

Then came the Core Formation cultivators, who entered in twos and threes, one after another.

Lin Chuan didn't rush in.

He glanced at the vast world of medicinal herbs, a smile appearing on his lips.

Of course, I should take the reward before I leave.

……

A flash of white light, and Lin Chuan entered a separate little world.

Above us was a clear, azure sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. Below us stretched an endless expanse of verdant grassland, its waves undulating in the wind. In the distance, the outlines of towering mountains were faintly visible, and the sweet fragrance of wildflowers wafted through the air.

This is clearly a self-contained little world!

This is the reward for those who pass the first level. Many rare medicinal herbs grow inside. Those who do not wish to continue to the second level can return the way they came after collecting the herbs.

Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't return.

After gathering the medicinal herbs, he will definitely go to the second level.

Just then, a golden light appeared before their eyes.

Today's divination result: Very auspicious.

[The divination text reads: Today, if you fly south, you will encounter a mountain peak with ten tall trees growing side by side. On that mountain peak, you will find a Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.]

"Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng?"

Lin Chuan was taken aback.

He had seen this name in the original work.

It is an extremely rare elixir of nature, said to have miraculous effects on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The problem is that, in the original work, this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng seems to have been discovered by Xuan Gu.

If it really is the one that Xuan Gu discovered, then wouldn't I encounter Xuan Gu if I went there?

But the divination indicates great fortune...

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment.

I quickly figured it out.

If the divination indicates great fortune, then it is great fortune.

As for the Xuan Gu... so what if you encounter it?

With his current strength, coupled with his divine sense comparable to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, as well as the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords imbued with warding-off divine lightning, and the Void Shuttle and other life-saving trump cards, he is now in a formidable force.

Moreover, he obtained the Soul-Crying Beast, a spirit beast that is specifically designed to subdue evil spirits, in the Ghostly Vengeance Land. Xuan Gu's Xuan Soul Body was thus perfectly countered!

"Perfect, if we run into him, we'll test this old monster's abilities."

A smile appeared on Lin Chuan's lips as he transformed into a streak of light and flew south.
