Little Phoenix Fairy took a closer look, and her eyes showed surprise.
Because, the little snake did not emit any aura of life, it was actually a delicate puppet snake.
The puppet snake wandered in the air for half a circle, then raised half of its body, its head facing the Little Phoenix Fairy, and shaking了一下, it turned into a somewhat blurred face of an old man.
"It turns out to be a wisp of remnant soul, wanting to seize my body." Little Phoenix Fairy took a few more glances and recognized that the snake puppet was only attached to a wisp of remnant soul.
"That's right, I am indeed left with only a wisp of remnant soul. Even if I have the heart, I am powerless. Besides, you are a woman, and I don't want to become an androgynous monster."
"Hmph, then what is your purpose in trapping me?" Little Phoenix Fairy gave a noncommittal chuckle, without relaxing her vigilance.
Because this wisp of remnant soul seemed weak, but its soul power was not small. Its cultivation during its peak period must not be weaker than hers, and may even be several levels higher.
" Hehe, trapping you is also a last resort. I guess you also know that this place is the Hall of Lost Souls. There are not many cultivators who can enter this place. I don't know how long I have been asleep, but I have only waited for you. I also came here to treasure hunt before, but unfortunately fell to this point, leaving this wisp of remnant soul, because there is an old matter that has not been resolved."
The puppet snake wandered in the air for a circle and stated its purpose. "As long as you promise to help me fulfill my wish, I will naturally not pester you, and I will also grant you great treasures. Not to mention anything else, I have a deep understanding of this Hall of Lost Souls, and I have picked the Soul-Lost Fruit before. And all of my life's possessions can be yours..."
As he spoke, a scale on the puppet snake's back curled了起来, and two rays of spiritual light shot out.
Little Phoenix Fairy scanned vigilantly, and immediately judged that these two rays of spiritual light were not attacks.
In a flash, the two rays of spiritual light transformed into a green glittering ring and a yellow jade bracelet. Both of these items were very simple and rotating in front of her eyes.
" Storage ring, Storage jade bracelet." Little Phoenix Fairy immediately recognized these two items.
...
On the other hand, Zhang Ling had already returned to the main hall of the Hall of Lost Souls. He glanced at the huge jade carvings, and without hesitation, headed towards the left door opening.
According to Ruolan, the left corridor leads to the back mountain of this Immortal Mountain, where there is a specially built Treasure Sealing Tower, and the treasure she needs is sealed inside.
Passing through the door opening, in front of him was still a long corridor. The environment was similar to the right side.
The only difference was that the scenery on both sides of this corridor was a mess, with broken rockeries everywhere, and weeds growing wildly. There were also no illusion transformed cranes, auspicious beasts and other scenes.
This was obviously not right. Combining this with the fact that Miss Ruolan said she could not summon that treasure. Something may have happened here.
Zhang Ling perked up and advanced cautiously. Several flying swords surrounded him, paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times.
The journey was uneventful, and he soon passed through the corridor. After breaking through a layer of white light restriction with the black token, he arrived at a small platform, with several long mountain paths on both sides, all leading downwards.
This was the back mountain, but the cloud and mist were very heavy.
Many vegetation buildings could be seen, hidden within. Everything seen in the eyes was surrounded by a white cloud.
Even the thunder coming from the thundercloud above his head disappeared, obviously being shielded.
Zhang Ling tested it, and there was still a no-fly restriction in the back mountain. Even if he had a black token and could pass unimpeded, he could not fly.
He identified the location and followed a mountain path downwards. With the route map given by Miss Ruolan, Zhang Ling did not go to other places, but went directly to the Treasure Sealing Tower.
On the way, he also saw several spiritual fields, in which many spiritual herbs were growing. Zhang Ling paused slightly and collected all these spiritual herbs into his bag.
Unlike the several herb field he found in the front mountain, the quality of the spiritual herbs growing in the back mountain herb field was much higher. Most of them were three or four grade spiritual herbs.
Among them, there were also several five grade spiritual herbs, although many spiritual herbs grew in a mess due to being unattended for a long time. Many even withered.
But the number left behind was not small, and the age was more than six or seven hundred years old. There were also twenty or thirty thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Although most of the spiritual herbs, he himself had, there were also several kinds of spiritual herbs that had become extinct outside.
Like one of the five grade spiritual herbs, Rain Thunder Flower, was a water and thunder dual attribute spiritual herbs. Also, the four grade Snow Ginseng King, was a material for refining top-grade Qi and Blood Pill.
These were also great gains.
On the way, he also encountered several restrictions, but with the black token in his hand, he was spared a lot of trouble. It could be said that he was unimpeded all the way.
In a short quarter of an hour, Zhang Ling saw a cluster of buildings in the distance. He stopped and with a flash of his figure, leapt onto a huge stone pillar not far away, looking at it with flickering eyes.
The cluster of buildings covered a large area, located on a large square, with many houses scattered around. There were no tall buildings, not the magnificent palaces on the top of the mountain.
They were all low houses, as well as some three or four-story pavilions. The styles were also very simple, and many were built of stone materials.
It was more like a place for the disciples to practice.
However, a central area of the square had become ruins.
He stopped because that was the target location. Originally, in the center of the square, there should have been a black stone pavilion. That was the Treasure Sealing Tower that Miss Ruolan spoke of.
Now there was only a huge pit. This scene was obviously destroyed.
Zhang Ling's divine sense probed into that area, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be spiritual light flashing in the huge pit. After thinking for a while, he still walked towards that side.
He still needed to confirm whether the treasure was still there.
He cast the Wind Control Technique, lightly tapped his feet, and dashed out fifty or sixty zhang in a few leaps. In a moment, he approached the big pit in the center of the square.
When he got closer, Zhang Ling's senses became more acute, and he also noticed that the pit was surrounded by a layer of Yin Sha energy. There were many broken stones scattered around.
Reaching out, a black and gray boulder fell into his eyes. One end of this boulder still maintained its original shape, looking like the shape of half an eave.
Some golden patterns could still be seen on it, flashing with a faint spiritual light.
"The spiritual patterns on this seem to be Spirit Sealing Runes, and the material of this stone is not ordinary stone, it is actually Black Rock Jade." Zhang Ling muttered. He also grabbed a few broken stones and looked at them.
Then he created a gust of wind and swept all the gravel on the edge of the pit to the side. He saw the spiritual light under the big pit clearly.
It was a layer of dazzling spiritual light, covering the bottom of the pit.
With just one glance, countless afterimages seemed to appear in front of Zhang Ling's eyes, making it difficult to see what was under the spiritual light.
At this time, there was a soft thud under the spiritual light. The sound was not loud, as if someone had tapped a stone slab with their hand.
Zhang Ling squinted his eyes and came back to his senses. Looking at the dazzling spiritual light again, this layer of spiritual light turned into a cloud of colorful mist, slowly floating at the bottom of the pit.
When his divine sense probed into it, he noticed that the dazzling spiritual light was actually a glow emitted by an orange small cauldron.
The small cauldron was carved from jade, with many five-colored spiritual patterns on it. The lid of the cauldron was tightly closed, seamless. It was extremely beautiful, like a decoration.
The spiritual power on it was a bit special, and Zhang Ling immediately judged that it was not an ordinary treasure.
He reached out, wanting to grab this orange small jade cauldron, but the jade cauldron only vibrated once and then stopped moving.
Zhang Ling expressionlessly mobilized his spiritual power, and condensed a yellow light hand, tightly grasping the small jade top in the pit.
Striving to pull, the small jade cauldron was slowly pulled up. Judging from the weight he felt, the jade cauldron weighed tens of thousands of jin.
As the jade cauldron was pulled up, several clusters of spiritual light inside the cauldron were constantly vibrating.
Zhang Ling scanned with his divine sense and sensed that there were several clusters of spiritual power in the jade cauldron that did not belong to the jade cauldron itself. He realized that something seemed to be sealed inside.
Could it be the treasure that Miss Ruolan needed?
Thinking in his heart, he increased his strength again and directly pulled the jade cauldron out of the big pit.
However, without warning, a five-colored chain shot out from the pit, rolled up like a long snake, and directly pulled the jade cauldron back into the pit.
With a loud boom, the entire ground shook.
This scene was beyond Zhang Ling's expectations, and his face could not help but darken.
He snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he directly released a cluster of Heavenly Star Sand. With a rustling sound, countless sand and gravel sawed into two sand and stone palms, tightly grasping the jade cauldron in the pit.
"Rise"
He whispered in his heart, and the jade cauldron was directly pulled up several zhang high, away from the pit.
The five-colored chain was still attached to the jade cauldron below, forming a terrifying pulling force, and stalemated with it in mid-air.
Zhang Ling glanced at it and noticed that this chain was not a real chain, but was transformed by pure five elements spiritual power, with colorful runes flashing on it.
It looked like some kind of restriction, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
If the treasure that Miss Ruolan needed was placed inside, why would there be these restrictions hindering it?
Could he have guessed wrong? This jade cauldron was not placed by the Divine Light Master. It was someone else's method.
But this probability was not high. This was the Hall of Lost Souls, and this location was the location of the treasure that Miss Ruolan said. The most likely thing was that the Divine Light Master placed it.
However, the Treasure Sealing Tower that originally existed here was indeed destroyed.
There were also traces of fighting next to it, which may have been the changes that later cultivators made when they came to this place and wanted to take the treasure.
Zhang Ling was guessing in his heart. Suddenly, the jade cauldron, which was being pulled in mid-air, rotated like a spinning top. The original orange cauldron body also quickly turned gray-black.
It directly threw away the Heavenly Star Sand that was grabbing it, and the five-colored chain of the lower pendant was also torn off.
The jade cauldron broke free from its restraints and flew upwards into the air as if it had consciousness.
Zhang Ling quickly waved his hand and released a large amount of yellow sand, trapping the jade cauldron.
At the same time, the ground under his feet shook, the shaking feeling was strong, and cracks appeared on the ground.
In the big pit next to him, five-colored spiritual light flashed, and more than a dozen chains shot out again, seemingly wanting to pull the jade cauldron back again.
With a thought in Zhang Ling's mind, several grade flying swords slashed over. Cutting off these chains.
But these chains were transformed by spiritual power and instantly condensed into solid, wrapping around again.
But at this moment, with a loud boom, the jade cauldron trapped in the yellow sand actually exploded directly. A terrifying glow impacted the surroundings.
This scene made Zhang Ling's face change, and he quickly cast out a spiritual power into the Yellow Gauze Umbrella above his head, thickening the defense outside his body.
But the powerful impact still blew him backwards for more than ten zhang.
Stabilizing his figure, Zhang Ling saw several rays of spiritual light rushing out from the exploding jade cauldron. This scene was unexpected and caught him off guard.
...
After the jade cauldron exploded, there were a total of three clusters of spiritual light that flew out. They were a ray of green light, a ray of gray light, and a ray of black light.
Zhang Ling cast out a thick piece of yellow light, his hands suddenly upwards, wanting to grab all three clusters of spiritual light in his hands.
However, the green light flashed and turned into a green glittering flying sword, surrounded by blue-purple lightning. It directly broke through the restraint, and a ray of lightning shot straight into the sky.
The gray light was wrapped in a white ghastly bone flute, and a empty sound came from it, also turning into light and shadow, soaring into the sky.
These two treasures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only the black light was wrapped in a pitch-black round bead, which he grabbed in his hand.
Zhang Ling could see the two disappearing treasures, and muttered to himself with a slight frown. He did recognize the Lightning Flying Sword, it was the treasure that Miss Ruolan needed.
He was not surprised that it suddenly flew away, it may have been summoned by Miss Ruolan.
The White Bone Flute, surrounded by Yin Sha energy, seemed to be a Ghost Dao Magic Treasure. It also flew away, but he didn't know why.
As for the black round bead in his hand, Zhang Ling frowned even more after taking a look, it was just a Shadow-keeping Bead.
Similar to the silver Shadow-keeping Bead among the three treasures obtained in the ice coffin before, with the same restriction.
Looking at the broken jade cauldron again, it turned into a debris and fell to the ground.
Looking at this situation, the jade cauldron seemed to be a sealing treasure, sealing these three things inside.
Zhang Ling glanced at the pit again. The five-colored chains shot out from inside just now, not wanting the jade cauldron to be taken away by him, which was a very obvious restriction.
But unlike ordinary treasure-guarding restrictions, the five-colored chains did not seem to be aimed at foreign cultivators, but wanted to suppress the jade cauldron in place.
But why was this, Zhang Ling was a little confused. There were only three things in the cauldron, and two of them flew away. Among them, the Lightning Flying Sword was still the treasure that Miss Ruolan needed.
The Shadow-keeping Bead in his hand did not seem to have any problems. Could it be that the bone flute that flew away just now had a problem?
This thought popped into Zhang Ling's mind, and of course he immediately had another guess,
That was that Miss Ruolan was lying, and what this woman might need was not the Lightning Flying Sword, but maybe the bone flute.
This possibility was not small.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling's face darkened. If this girl was really cheating him, then things might not be right.
He didn't stay in place, and quickly headed down the mountain.
While acting, Zhang Ling was not idle, constantly observing the black Shadow-keeping Bead, planning to immediately break through the process above and check the information inside.
Maybe the information recorded inside could explain these situations.
...
