The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2959 A Powerful Backup Plan

Water of the Wraiths!

Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately thought of Lan Caijie, the mother and child ghosts, and the pills to repair the soul!
If a spirit or soul frequently uses the Soul Water, it will stabilize its soul, enhance its strength, increase its cultivation level, and even improve its aptitude if used to a certain extent.

Of course, Yin Soul Water is also the main ingredient in a soul-repairing elixir, which can accelerate the repair of the soul.

A stable spiritual soul is extremely important for cultivators. Once the spiritual soul becomes unstable, it will not only affect cultivation and prevent advancement, but may even cause a regression in cultivation level.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, once the soul is damaged, it is extremely difficult to treat. This is mainly because elixirs for repairing the soul are very rare and even very difficult to obtain.

The medicinal herbs that repair the soul are extremely rare. To obtain such herbs, one not only needs to pay a huge price, but also needs to have a certain background.

Therefore, in order to help Chen Mo understand this knowledge, Master Ye Shang not only focused on introducing knowledge related to the soul in the transmission jade talisman, but also emphasized the importance of protecting the soul.

Otherwise, one might not have finished learning much of the knowledge contained in the Transmission Jade Talisman, yet still know a great deal about the knowledge of the soul.

Therefore, upon seeing this Yellow Springs Spider Lily, I am determined to obtain this spiritual plant. Planting it within the Qiankun Pearl will not only provide a source for refining elixirs in the future, but also allow my spiritual body to cultivate and stabilize my soul, among other things.

I never expected there would be such a treasure underground in the canyon. It was definitely worth the trip.

However, to obtain this item, one must first eliminate all the numerous strange beast guards before them. Then, the remnant soul within the Yellow Springs Spider Lily pouch must also be destroyed.

Looking at the beast guards surrounding him, he smiled. These beasts were relatively easy to kill, but he didn't know how powerful that remnant soul was.

Of course, Chen Mo wasn't too worried. After all, it was just a remnant soul. As long as the strength wasn't too high, dealing with a remnant soul was easy.

Besides, he had already been in this underground space for some time and had killed thousands of strange beasts, but that remnant soul had not come out.

This also suggests that either the remnant soul does not exist, or the remnant soul is not powerful enough to be willing to come out.

However, if there is the Yellow Springs Flower, then there must be remnant souls. Otherwise, why would we plant such a spiritual plant here?
Chen Mo didn't think too much about it. He quickly used the Jade Sword to harvest the beast guards, and also used the Soul-Chasing Nails to kill all the beast guards in front of him as soon as possible.

Screams, the sound of air being torn apart, and the occasional explosions of the alien beast guards filled the air. The space, which had been quiet for many years, was now filled with a cacophony of sounds.

One by one, the beast guards were swiftly eliminated by Chen Mo. Even those that tried to unleash their attacks were mostly pierced by the Soul-Chasing Nails before they could react, dying a miserable death.

In less than half an hour, the number of beast guards had plummeted from tens of thousands to just over two thousand.

In fact, if it weren't for the Yellow Springs Flower growing in the center of the space, he would have taken out the Thunder Sword, which was half-used, and wiped out all the strange beasts in the space.

Although it only has half the energy, it's still enough to wipe out most of the alien beast guards here.

In this way, Chen Mo wouldn't need to spend so much time personally killing these troublesome alien beasts.

But just as Chen Mo was complaining and killing these alien beast guards, the Yellow Springs Spider Lily began to tremble, and its leaves made a rustling sound.

Chen Mo instantly distanced himself from the beast guards and retreated to the space wall. Behind him was a cave exit, allowing him to quickly escape should any danger arise.

After all, when facing unknown dangers, it's best to prepare an escape route so that if you find yourself unable to withstand the situation, you can simply run away.

As for dignity and such, nothing is more important than saving your own life.

Not only that, he even took out a lot of talismans, ready to use them to defend himself if things went wrong.

However, the beast guards did not give Chen Mo any opening. Although their numbers had been reduced to more than two thousand, they showed no sign of retreating and still pounced on Chen Mo, wanting to tear him to pieces.

At the same time, the black cloud floating above the Yellow Springs Spider Lily also began to collapse inwards as the spiritual pearl below trembled.

In just a few breaths, the entire black mist split into nine smaller black mists, and they continued to shrink.

As Chen Mo killed the beast guards that pounced at him, he thought that this situation must be because the remnant soul behind the scenes couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to show itself.
A series of roars suddenly came from the sky, and the nine small black mists gradually disappeared, replaced by the appearance of the nine-headed king beast.

With a roar, the beast guards who were attacking Chen Mo immediately retreated and quickly collected all the beast carcasses that Chen Mo had killed on the ground to the edge of the pool.

More than nine thousand alien beast bodies were gathered together and piled up into a large heap. The remaining nearly two thousand alien beasts stood beside this heap of alien beast bodies, looking up at the nine-headed king alien beast floating in mid-air.

Chen Mo was speechless when he saw the nine-headed king-level beasts; he hadn't expected there to be so many. If he had been attacked by nine king-level beasts earlier in the canyon, he probably would have fled long ago.

But now, hehe! The helmet and spear have already been placed in the Qiankun bag, so even if more of these king-level beasts come, it won't amount to anything.

After all, the strength of the king-level beast was still a bit inferior to his own, and he still had a powerful helmet and spear in his hand, so he couldn't possibly lose!

After considering it over, Chen Mo was no longer afraid. He took out his helmet and spear from his storage bag, prepared them, and flashed forward to a relatively open area, waiting for these king-level beasts to attack him.

Once these mythical beasts get within three meters of you, attack them directly with your helmet and spear.

What's frustrating Chen Mo right now is the spiritual consciousness suppression array contained throughout the valley. It's truly infuriating; he doesn't understand why such a restrictive array was placed in the entire valley, prohibiting flight as well. It's incredibly annoying.

If his consciousness were to return to normal and he were not prohibited from flying, then the nine king-level beasts floating in mid-air would be instantly killed if they showed their heads!
Unfortunately, he could only stand on the ground and watch how this nine-headed king-like beast would attack him.

Unexpectedly, the nine-headed mythical beast controlled itself, descended to a certain height, stood in the air, and opened its mouth to absorb the energy.

All the mythical beasts guarding the entire pool, whether dead or alive, turned into black mist and were devoured by the nine-headed king-like beasts. In an instant, all the mythical beasts on the ground were cleared away.

That wasn't all. The nine-headed mythical beast then sucked up the pool of water, drawing out all the Yin Soul Pearls contained within and devouring them.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo immediately complained, "Damn it, are these beasts going to transform?"

Before the words were even finished, the nine-headed beast began to swell, becoming even larger, its limbs and teeth becoming sharper. The spikes on its back also grew thicker!

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo didn't say a word and retreated first.

The ability to transform means its strength will definitely increase. Originally, the strength of this king-level beast was only slightly inferior to mine. After transforming, wouldn't it become equal to mine, or even surpass me?

If it were just one or two, it would be manageable, but there are nine of them right in front of us. We can't beat them, we absolutely can't beat them. It's best to retreat first.

Of course, he couldn't just turn around and leave. He still needed to observe the situation. If the nine-headed king beast's strength didn't increase after its transformation, then there was no need for him to retreat.

The flowers of the underworld are right before my eyes, how wonderful it is!

Although he was somewhat envious, he still had to play it safe. So, in a flash, he retreated towards the cave exit behind him.

Just then, a buzzing sound rang out, and the spikes on the back of the nine-headed king beast were instantly activated, flying towards Chen Mo.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo accelerated his retreat into the cave.

The sounds of "plop plop..." continued as sharp spikes pierced the spot where Chen Mo had just stood, but none of them hit him.

The ground instantly transformed into a forest of spikes, with each spike resembling an enlarged version of a spear, piercing the ground at an angle, leaving only the tips trembling.

Seeing that only the tips of the more than two-meter-long spikes remained, one could tell just how powerful and sharp those spikes were. After all, the ground was hard rock, yet it had been shattered by the spikes.

Damn it, it seems that retreating was the right thing to do. If I had stayed in the same spot and tried to fight back, I might have been in a very passive position.

There's even a possibility of getting injured.

Seeing that it had missed Chen Mo, the nine-headed king beast landed directly on the ground, walked a distance forward, and stopped at the entrance of the cave where Chen Mo had slipped into. It then used its spikes to attack the cave entrance in turn.

One after another, strange beasts stood in front of the cave, shooting spikes from their backs into the cave.

Chen Mo, who was originally standing at the cave entrance, had no choice but to retreat again upon seeing this situation, even retreating further away. Otherwise, he would have been attacked by the sharp spikes that had shot into the cave.

Damn it, how can there be so many mythical beasts?

If only I had one or two, or even three at most, how could I have nine? They really think too highly of themselves. Besides, before these mythical beasts transformed, their strength was slightly inferior to mine, but after transforming, their strength is definitely above mine.

With his golden helmet and spear, he could still find an opportunity to kill one or two, but now that there are nine heads, he really has no chance at all!

Chen Mo was speechless. The remnant soul hidden in the Yellow Springs Spider Lily was indeed very powerful, with a variety of tricks up its sleeve.

However, he really wanted to possess this Lycoris radiata flower from the underworld!

Damn it, how am I supposed to deal with these king-level beasts?

If he couldn't handle it, Chen Mo would have no choice but to retreat and abandon the spiritual plant.
