Chapter 544: Sudden Ghost Pulse (3000 words, please subscribe)
Five years passed quickly.

It's mid-winter this year.

A desolate land adjacent to the State of Yan and Chen.

Countless white snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, covering the entire ground.

There was also a biting cold wind that kept howling.

At this time, ordinary people usually stay at home behind closed doors to warm themselves up.

But at this moment, there was an old man with white hair, wrinkles on his face and a stooped back carrying an iron sword on his back, walking on the thick layer of snow on the ground in the cold wind.

What's even more strange is that there are traces of sharp, small sword-like gas lingering around the old man's body, scattering all the white snow falling towards him from the sky.

After an unknown amount of time, some sweat appeared on the old man's face. It was obvious that walking in the snow was a bit tiring for him.

Therefore, he found a small forest where he could escape the wind and snow, got into it, and sat on a relatively dry and flat place.

"This body is becoming more and more useless!"

"Calculating time, I only have 15 years left to live."

"We need to speed up the completion of... the secret technique of Star Gold Sword Dao!"

When he thought about this, a look of helplessness appeared on the old man's face.

This old man is none other than Ling Pengxing, who has been traveling away from the Ling family for about ten years.

After leaving his family, he has been traveling all the way north.

During this period, he traveled millions of miles with his extraordinary physical fitness and walking speed.

It's a pity that along the way, he also realized the sword move "Chu Yang" during his trip to Bailing Kingdom six or seven years ago.

Other than that, he gained nothing.

His swordsmanship also hit a bottleneck along the way.

Currently, there are only two secret techniques of Xingjin Swordsmanship created by him, namely "Bright Moon" and "Chu Yang".

At this moment, strange lights of various colors suddenly lit up in an empty wasteland a few miles away.

There were even some roaring sounds.

Ling Pengxing heard the movement and immediately looked over.

Because his cultivation has now dissipated, it is difficult for him to see clearly the scene several miles away.

However, based on experience, he could probably guess based on the unusual movements there that there were Qi Practitioners and the like fighting there.

If it were a monk in the foundation-building realm or a monster fighting, the movement would not be so small.

"It's been a long time since I fought a monk, and my swordsmanship encountered another bottleneck along the way."

"Now that we have encountered live targets, we can practice with them!"

After Ling Pengxing murmured to himself, he stood up and used a special breath-containing method that he had learned through the art of swordsmanship.

Then, his vitality slowly disappeared, as if he had turned into a stone. He also took steps at this moment, like a phantom, quickly rushing towards the place where the strange movement was heard several miles away.

In just a few breaths, he crossed several miles and arrived near the place of abnormal movement.

The strange place was indeed as Ling Pengxing guessed. The combatants did only have Qi training skills, but only one of them was a monk. The monk was wearing linen clothes, with an aura of mid-Qi training level 1, and kept attacking with an excited look on his face.

On the other side was a strange-looking, dark, eight-eyed monster that looked like an enlarged version of a spider monster.

"Ghost Spider?"

"Why are there such monsters that like to eat ghosts roaming this place?"

"Is there a ghost here?"

Ling Pengxing fixed his gaze on the spider with eight eyes at the battle site not far away, and murmured in surprise.

He looked around again, and when he saw that the surrounding area was deserted and he didn't see any ghosts or anything, and there were no mortals or traces of monsters in the unmanned village, he suddenly became confused.

"There are no ghosts, no humans or monsters providing souls for this monster to eat. How could this monster appear here?"

The ghost spider is an extremely rare monster. It is extremely difficult for this monster family to reproduce. Often, a female ghost spider can only reproduce one or two ghost spiders in her lifetime.

However, the strength of this demon is also very powerful. This demon has a rare method of attacking spiritual consciousness, which often has a great advantage in battle.

In addition, there are also some special things that this demon likes to eat. This demon especially likes to eat ghost food, followed by human and monster spirits. As for ordinary meat, this demon does not like to eat.

With so many thoughts on his mind, Ling Pengxing made up his mind.

Then, he took off the black iron sword from his back, held it tightly in his hand, and pointed the sword at the full moon hanging in the dark night in the sky.

In an instant, countless white moonlight powers poured into the black iron sword.

The next moment, the black iron sword trembled slightly, and a nine-foot-long sword light suddenly shot out from the tip of the sword. The powerful aura of the monk in the late stage of Qi training gave him a full blow.

Ling Pengxing also struck the sword at the middle-stage Qi-training monk not far away who was fighting the ghost spider.

Only then did the monk in the middle stage of Qi training notice the traces of Ling Pengxing.

But it was too late, the black iron sword carrying the sword light had already reached his face.Then, his head was easily chopped off.

The middle-stage qi-training ghost spider that was originally fighting against saw this scene and was filled with panic.

Its spiritual consciousness far exceeds that of monsters of the same level, and is comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of Qi training. It can clearly sense how powerful the iron sword is. Even if it is attacked by the iron sword, it will be difficult to If you survive, you will be killed easily.

Under such a lack of contrast, it didn't dare to stay here longer, so it quickly turned around and ran away.

When Ling Pengxing saw this, he did not stop the ghost spider. He just used the breath-condensing method and followed quietly behind the ghost spider.

Less than half an hour later, Ling Pengxing chased the escaping ghost spider for more than ten miles and entered a dense forest that was deserted and shrouded in clouds and mist all day long.

After going deeper into the dense forest for a while, the ghost spider disappeared into a small bush and disappeared.

Although Ling Pengxing lost his consciousness, he was able to detect that the ghost shadow had disappeared through his sword intent.

This thing surprised him. When he stepped forward and took a look, he realized that there was a deep underground hole in the center of the small bush that was about the same size as the ghost spider.

"This place is so hidden and deep in the wilderness. I think this place is the nest of the ghost spider."

After Ling Pengxing murmured to himself, considering that he had many protective magic weapons that could be used without using spiritual power, and was not afraid of the ghost spider, he followed suit, lying down and following the ghost spider. The hole, got in.

To his surprise, he followed the entrance of the cave about a hundred feet deep, but suddenly fell into a passage one foot high and half a foot wide.

Ling Pengxing took a look at the situation here, but found that the four sides of the passage were extremely smooth, as if the place had been dug out with a sharp tool.

It was very different from the small uneven passages on all four sides that he had penetrated into before.

"This passage is probably built with sharp instruments."

In addition, this underground passage is filled with a thin, aura-like black mist that contains special energy and has a cold feeling.

Ling Pengxing looked at the black mist around him. After thinking about it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is... ghost energy!"

"Looking at the lingering ghost energy here, there should be a ghost vein here."

"It's no wonder that the ghost spider was located here."

Speaking of this, Ling Pengxing spoke again in disbelief.

"I just didn't expect that rare ghost veins would appear in a place like this."

Ghost veins are extremely rare. Even the huge Yan Kingdom does not have one. It is said that ghost veins are more common only in the "Zhongzhou Cultivation World" where cultivation is prosperous.

And this vein can be said to be a special kind of spiritual vein, which is formed by the mutation of spiritual veins.

This ghost vein produces ghost energy, and it is difficult for normal monks to absorb this ghost energy into the body.

Only ghost cultivators like ghost spiders or ghosts can absorb ghost energy.

As for ghosts, most of them evolved from the souls of monks or monsters, which were introduced into the body by Yin Qi at specific times or other factors.

After Ling Pengxing came back to his senses, he followed the aura left by the ghost bead in the passage and chased forward.

As we gradually went deeper into the large passage, the ghostly aura around us became more and more intense.

In front of him, an open stone door also appeared.

The ghost energy in this passage spread out from the open stone door.

And inside the stone gate, there are some buildings like monk caves, which are extremely rich in ghost energy.

The ghost spider that Ling Pengyun let go before lay down on a black stone bed about one foot long and half a foot wide on the left side of the cave to absorb the rich ghost energy in the cave to practice.

When Ling Pengxing saw this scene, his expression showed a hint of surprise but also a hint of certainty.

"Looking at the intensity of the ghost energy here, the ghost veins in this cave should be around the second-lower grade."

"I didn't expect that the ghost vein here is of such a high grade!"

After Ling Pengxing exclaimed, his eyes were fixed on the black stone bed.

"The stone bed should be made of soul jade that is recorded in the family's classics as being beneficial to ghost cultivation."

"Looking at its grade, it should be around the first-level upper grade."

"Sure enough, this place was discovered by an ancestor, and that ancestor must have been a wealthy person. This place was probably later occupied by the ghost spider."

"Otherwise, when I arrive at the entrance of the cave, the ancestors will not show up all the time."

"I just don't know if the person who discovered this place first was a righteous monk who has practiced a special method, or a ghost cultivator?"

With doubts, he quickly stepped into the stone door.

By this time, because it was too close to the ghost spider, the ghost spider crawling on the black stone bed to absorb ghost energy and practice also noticed the arrival of Ling Pengxing.

However, before it could make any response, Ling Pengxing directly threw out a jade pendant that exuded the aura of the first-order middle-grade realm, transforming into a thick light curtain that trapped the enemy, trapping the ghost spider directly. .

But after that, he did not take action against him and killed him.
