The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2818 Negotiations Show Sincerity

Chen Mo had just fought with the Jade Skull and found that its strength had increased again, which was actually not what he thought.

Previously, the Jade Skeleton had fought with the three innate masters, and its strength did increase as its soul and skeleton body became more compatible. However, this body was just a skeleton, and it would never increase to the strength it had when it was in seclusion at the beginning.

Moreover, his body has no flesh and blood, so many things cannot be recovered and used. Therefore, when his strength increased to be only slightly higher than Qian Ying, it did not increase any further.

His later strength increased simply by absorbing the saber-tooth tiger's soul and adding it to his own soul in order to increase his control over the skeleton, so his strength naturally increased again.

But this was achieved through the superposition of two souls, which increased his strength. Only then was he able to easily knock out the three innate old men.

Now, Chen Mo felt that when the Jade Skeleton was attacked by the Soul-Hunting Nail, it realized that this enemy hidden in the dark was a bit tricky, so he quietly used the power of soul consumption to increase his own strength, which made Chen Mo feel that the strength of this skeleton had increased again.

A flash of light flashed on the array disk, and it seemed that it was due to the suppression of the array in the cave hall, so there were signs of collapse. If the array disk collapsed, then the array in the cave hall would suppress Chen Mo, making him experience the double suppression of the skeleton attack and the array attack.

So, after Chen Mo retreated to avoid the attack of the toothed knife, he immediately swung the jade sword again and attacked the skeleton.

With the sound of clinking, the arms of the jade skeleton were able to withstand the impact of great force because of the consumption of soul power. With the serrated knife in both hands, they collided with the jade sword, but the arms did not break again due to the feedback force.

"Haha! Are you the one who took my ring?" At this moment, the jade skull finally saw Chen Mo's face clearly, and suddenly there was a series of rattling noises. The dark eye sockets were facing Chen Mo, making people feel as if there were a pair of dark eyeballs in those eye sockets.

However, there is nothing in there, just two holes. However, due to the lighting problem, the two eye sockets appear to be dark and deep.

Especially since the soul power of this jade skull is quite high, if ordinary people look closely at the two black holes - the eye sockets of the holes, they will lose consciousness for a moment, and this moment can definitely cause a person to fail in battle.

Fortunately, Chen Mo's soul power was not weak, and because the jade skeleton had just consumed soul power to repair its own injuries, and also consumed soul power to improve its own cultivation. Therefore, Chen Mo now looked like he did not lose consciousness because of his soul defense.

Although the Jade Skeleton's limbs were not very flexible, its thinking was not restricted. Seeing that Chen Mo did not lose consciousness because he was staring at his eyes, he knew that the young man in front of him either had a high soul or had defenses in his soul, otherwise he would not be like this.

Oh! I feel really frustrated.

If my body is still there and I have passed the threshold of life and death, do I still need to use the magic method of possession?

Unfortunately, he wanted to live, and he wanted to live well, and he wanted to enjoy everything. Therefore, he couldn't consume too much soul power, otherwise, if he consumed too much, there might be other accidents when he took over the body.

Even more, if the possession of another's body might not be successful, wouldn't that mean that you will disappear?

Besides, the soul power is consumed too much. Even after the possession is completed, it will take a long time for the soul power to recover.

As a cultivator, one naturally knows the importance of soul power. Only by ensuring that one's soul power is abundant can one recover one's strength in the shortest possible time and make further progress.

Chen Mo was knocked back by the toothed knife, but he did not react. This vibration would not hurt him, so he accelerated and attacked the jade skull again.

The jade skull had black holes in its eyes, staring at Chen Mo's jade sword. It waved the serrated knife with both hands and used the power of its soul to activate the rune circuits on the serrated knife, making it more solid and sharp.

The two serrated knives were two weapons that he had specially refined in the past, and they were made just in case. The materials used also took a lot of thought.

In fact, he had other weapons, but because he had closed the gate of life and death, he had lost his flesh and blood body, and only this skeleton body was left, so the weapons were placed in the storage ring. This was also the reason why the Jade Skeleton wanted to find the storage ring in a hurry. After all, it not only contained spiritual liquid, but also various elixirs, as well as his own weapons and other things. If it was lost, the loss would be absolutely huge.

Fortunately, these two toothed knives were originally the teeth of his pets, and they were always in the mouth of the saber-toothed tiger. He would only take them off when he wanted to use them. It was also because of an unintentional act at that time that he now had weapons to use, which was really a bit of God's will.

However, these two toothed knives also have a disadvantage, that is, they are not strong enough. Because their original material is the teeth of saber-toothed tigers. After being made into toothed knives, although a lot of things were added, the material itself is ordinary. Therefore, when facing Chen Mo's jade sword, he can only consume the power of his soul to activate the rune energy circuit on the toothed knives to enhance the strength, toughness, and sharpness of the toothed knives.

Otherwise, when the Jade Skeleton was fighting against the Xiantian trio, he would have cut off the Xiantian daggers in the hands of the three Lao Dengs when he used the toothed knife. As Chen Mo continued to attack, the sound of ding-dong-dong continued to be heard, but the more he attacked, the more uncertain Chen Mo felt. How could the strength of this skeleton in front of him continue to improve?

My strength has now reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but facing this skeleton, I still feel like I'm evenly matched. This is fucking ridiculous.

You know, when he was hiding in the dark before, he observed this jade skeleton and found that its strength was only equivalent to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Period. It was not very powerful, and it did not grow further after it reached the third level.

But now, he has reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and this is a problem.

If you want to defeat this skeleton, you have to use your trump card, but if you use it now, what if you fail to defeat the jade skeleton, then wouldn’t you be in danger?

A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and he needs to observe more. However, his formation disk reported that it had reached the critical point of collapse. If he could not stop the suppression of the cave hall formation, then the formation disk would collapse, and he would also face the suppression of the formation.

Damn it, what the hell should I do? Chen Mo was a little anxious.

Chen Mo felt uncomfortable, and in fact, the Jade Skull didn’t feel comfortable either!

After all, the Jade Skeleton has lost its flesh and blood, and now the only thing that can provide energy to the Skeleton itself is the power of the soul. However, after fighting again and again, consuming again and again, and improving its own strength again, and repairing its own injuries, the soul power is also gradually consumed. If it continues, then its soul power will definitely be consumed.

Besides, the young man in front of him is quite powerful and has reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. So if he wants to defeat him, the consumption of his own soul power will definitely be considerable.

Therefore, the jade skull was a little crazy. However, since the skull had no flesh and blood, it naturally did not show any expression. The black holes in the eye sockets did not mean anything, but they could be used to scare people.

Since he couldn't defeat Chen Mo in a short time, and he had to consume his own soul power to defeat Chen Mo, that was not what he wanted, and it absolutely couldn't be like this.

"Boy, since you are also a cultivator, can we talk?" After the jade skeleton blocked Chen Mo's jade sword, it retreated and said to Chen Mo who was about to rush up to fight. Although the voice was a bit noisy, it was still audible.

As a cultivator, he would have the skill of transmitting sound into secrets. But in this situation, there is no flesh and blood, only dry bones, so if he wants to use skills, he can only consume soul power, which is absolutely not okay, so he should save as much as possible.

Chen Mo naturally didn't know what the Jade Skull was planning. He looked at the Jade Sword in his hand, then at the Toothed Knife in the Jade Skull's hand, and was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the Toothed Knife in the Jade Skull's hand could actually defend against the Jade Sword's attack.

You have to know that the Jade Sword was given to him by Master Ye Shang. It was a refined magic weapon, but it did not cut off the serrated knife in the Jade Skeleton's hand. This means that the serrated knife in the Jade Skeleton's hand is definitely not a simple thing.

Now, this skeleton has stopped and wants to talk to me. What should I talk about? What is there to talk about?

Chen Mo frowned and asked, "What do you want to talk about? Hurry up and say what you want to say. Also, if you want to talk to me, shouldn't you be a little sincere?"

"Sincerity, what sincerity?" The jade skull had no brows to frown, and its two black holes~eye sockets stared at Chen Mo.

If Chen Mo didn't have the ability to see during the day, other people might feel scared when seeing this black hole, the eye sockets of the hole, and the dark environment in the cave hall.

"If you want to talk, then stop this formation. Otherwise, I don't think you want to talk to me about anything. It's just a delaying tactic." Chen Mo said.

And quietly, he threw a spirit stone into the array disk that was on the verge of collapse, allowing it to recover blood and continue to hold on. Of course, the spirit stone he put in was only a low-grade spirit stone, so it was just to let the array disk recover blood. If it continued to be suppressed by the cave hall array, it would naturally not last long.

The jade-colored skull stared at Chen Mo with its black hole~hole~eye sockets for a while, then nodded slowly and said: "Well said, let me show my sincerity."

The sound was a bit harsh, but it made Chen Mo feel a little relaxed. His formation was saved!

You know, the array plate is an important prop for setting up the array. He finally got a few array plates from the underground of Cambodia, and he would feel bad if one was damaged. So it was naturally very good to be able to keep this array plate.

Fortunately, Chen Mo controlled his expression, otherwise if the Jade Skull saw something, it would not be sincerity, but he would continue to fight!
