Immortal Journey

Chapter 167
The smooth mirror-like amethyst ground reflects the light purple flower cups hanging in the air, the air is filled with a strong fragrance of flowers, people are scattered, and laughter circulates.

This is what Ren Ling saw when she came out of Shengmen. She stood in a corner, and the previous scene still echoed in her mind.

"You came."

The same words, different voices and in fact, Ren Ling looked up, and the person who was walking towards her was a man in a luxurious white robe, it was Ran Heng.

The look in the eyes under the mask was too familiar, Ren Ling nodded lightly, not surprised how Ran Heng found her in the crowd.

Ran Heng stood in front of Ren Ling. He entered the banquet hall through the maze much earlier. Although he didn't deliberately search and wait, he saw her the moment Ren Ling appeared out of nowhere.

Dissatisfied with her indifference and staying out of things, Ran Heng frowned slightly, and reached out to grab Ren Ling's wrist, "You... what is this?"

His eyes fell on the black gemstone ring on his index finger, his body shook suddenly, he pinched the black gemstone and looked at it for a moment, his eyes sharply caught Ren Ling, and he lowered his voice, "Where did this ring come from? Say! "

Ren Ling frowned, his wrist ached from being scratched by Ran Heng, "I have no intention of doing it by chance."

"I got it by chance?" Ran Heng slowly put his face close to Ren Ling's ear, "Do you know what this is? Do you know whose belonging it is? Got it by chance? Do you think I will believe it?"

"Believe it or not."

"You!" Ran Heng gritted his teeth, squeezed Ren Ling's hand close to himself, his eyes were full of complex emotions such as suspicion and shock, just when Ren Ling's hand was about to touch the tip of his nose, his big hand trembled and raised the other Hand cast a magic fire to Ren Ling's hand.

"What are you doing?" Ren Ling tried hard to withdraw his hand, but Ranheng held it firmly, and the turquoise magic fire crawled across her skin like a snake, which was a strange and cold feeling.

"Very good," Ran Heng stared at the jade hand that had been burned by the magic fire, and raised the corners of his lips, "But I haven't seen you for a while, and I even got the essence. Ren Ling, it seems that I underestimated you."

"What sorcerer?" Ren Ling frowned, seeing that Ran Heng put away the magic fire, he quickly withdrew his hand to wipe off the sticky feeling on it, "Master Ran, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Ran Heng didn't speak, but looked at Ren Ling with a sense of judgment. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Ren Ling, you'd better be as innocent and ignorant as you appear, otherwise, don't blame my ruthless subordinates."

"The mortals who have successfully passed through the maze are lucky enough to get the Body Shaping Stone," Ran Heng grabbed Ren Ling's hand again, his fingertips whirled slowly and coldly on the smooth skin, and whispered word by word, "And this Just the ring, are you lucky, or are you harboring evil intentions?"

"I really don't know what Master Ran is talking about."

Ren Ling met Ran Heng's gaze without fear, without too much emotion.

"Okay, I'll protect you again." Ran Heng said coldly, took her hand, and quickly walked out of the banquet hall, "Let's go back home!"

It was almost Yinshi when I returned to Ran's mansion, and as soon as Ran Heng entered the mansion, he asked someone to send her back to Xiaoyuan without saying a word to her.

The room was quiet. The three female cultivators glanced at her and continued to meditate. Ren Ling hurriedly climbed onto the bed, lay on his side and closed his eyes, pretending to fall asleep.

In less than an hour, Zhou Niang came, and she was not surprised to see Ren Ling, as if what happened yesterday had never happened, and she didn't mention a word.

Zhang Luo and a group of women left the small garden, walked through the mansion for a while, and came to a side hall, and brought them to the bead field through the teleportation array of the side hall.

Zhuchang is located in a mountain depression, and several areas are separated by walls made of stones, and the areas cannot be seen from each other.

Ren Ling and the others were taken to an area on the lowest edge. In a field about ten feet square, there were three large circular pools.The water in the pool was as bright red as blood, and there were already many women around the pool washing something, Zhou Niang led them to one of the open spaces, "Your work is very simple, you only need to pour the stone beads brought in into the pool, Repeat the steps and scrub five times."

After explaining and demonstrating the steps, Mrs. Zhou asked them to operate once before leaving the bead field with satisfaction, indicating that she would come to pick them up in the evening.

The female cultivators were overjoyed by the abundance of magic energy in the mountain depression, and discussed in low voices to complete the task at hand as soon as possible, so that they could practice in the mountain depression to absorb the rare magic energy.

Ren Ling silently washed the stone beads beside her. She found that the stone beads that needed to be cleaned were all waste beads that had exhausted their aura. After following the steps of cleaning, the surface of the stone beads did not seem to have changed much.

When everyone was not paying attention, Ren Ling quietly poked out a trace of spiritual knowledge and penetrated into the stone bead. After a while, he nodded in secret realization.

At noon, a consul came and took the five mortal women, including Ren Ling, to the temporary dining room. Ren Ling was pleasantly surprised to find that the master was also there.

"Master," Ren Ling walked up to Bai Feng and sat down beside Bai Feng, holding the small rice bowl in his hand, "I see you."

Bai Feng smiled lightly, and the meal in front of him did not move at all, "Are you still used to it?"

Ren Ling put the small rice bowl on the table, lowered his voice and told what happened in detail, skipping the part about Ran Heng's affection for her after being seduced by her.

Bai Feng pondered for a long time, he didn't expect that Ren Ling would be targeted by Ran Heng. Before he knew the exact intention of the other party, Ren Ling might be in danger, such as last night's magic palace dinner.

He insisted on entering the Ran Mansion because he had some unconfirmed discoveries. He wanted to lurk in the Ran Mansion for a while, but now it seems that it won't work.

"Master, look," Ren Ling stretched out his hand, "It's this ring, I can't take it off no matter what."

Bai Feng stared at the ring carefully for a long time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "Ling'er, try to see if you can take it off for Master, it may hurt a little."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Ren Ling shook his head, and stretched his index finger between Bai Feng's palms. Bai Feng's index finger and thumb gently pinched the ring, a golden light thinner than a hair protruded from his fingertips and circled towards the ring, many almost invisible Daowen drilled into the ring with the light, and Ren Ling suddenly felt that his index finger was burning like fire.

He stared at the ring without turning his eyes, and saw that the ring expanded and contracted for a while, as if there was an inner force pulling against the master's spiritual power, one ebb and flow.

Just when Ren Ling felt that his index finger was about to explode, Bai Feng suddenly withdrew his spiritual power, "The restriction in the ring is too strong for the teacher to undo. I am afraid it is at least the restriction set by the monks in the late Yuanying period. Ling'er, master When I go back, I will find a way to remove the ring for you, since the ring is effective in isolating demonic energy, it doesn’t matter if you wear it temporarily.”

Ren Ling nodded. The magic cultivator who gave her the ring was almost the most powerful monk she had ever seen. It would definitely not be easy to untie the ring, and there was no rush. His eyes fell on Bai Feng who was about to close the ring. He raised his hand and exclaimed, "Master, what happened to your hand?"

Just now, my eyes were focused on the ring, but I didn't notice a strange black line appeared on all five of Bai Feng's fingers. Ren Ling grabbed Master's hand and stroked his fingertips, "It's demonic energy, Master, this It’s demon energy, how could it be in your fingers?”

Bai Feng smiled lightly, and insisted on putting away his hands, "Small things are nothing to worry about. By the way, Master has found the way back."

Ren Ling's eyes lit up, "Master, is this true? How do we go back?"

"When the devilish energy spread from Juyou Valley to the realm of the Xuandao Sect, the devil cultivators invaded massively," Bai Feng said in a low voice, "They should be relying on the ancient teleportation array."

"The ancient teleportation array?" Ren Ling understood clearly, thought for a while, and asked, "Does Master know the location of the teleportation array?"

"In Juyou Valley." Bai Feng frowned slightly. Although the approximate location has been confirmed, it is not easy to go to Juyou Valley. The ancient teleportation array. You must be careful these days, don’t let people find out that we are from the Xuan Dao Sect, so as not to be hurt, you know?”

Ren Ling bit her lip and glanced at Master's hand hidden in her sleeve. Is it really all right for the devilish energy that has seeped into his hand?How did Master get so much information in just one day?In this place where the demons cultivated, and it was inconvenient for the master to use his spiritual power, it would be even more difficult to find out the news.

"Ling'er?"

Seeing no response from Ren Ling, Bai Feng called out again.

"Master, Ling'er will know."

Ren Ling looked down at the red baby ring on his wrist, and called softly in his mind, "Auntie Red Baby."

Red Baby responded quickly and asked Ren Ling what was the matter. Ren Ling thought for a while and said embarrassedly, "Auntie Hongying, can you lend Linger the red baby ring you lent to Linger temporarily?" Master? Master, he seems to be infested by demon energy, Linger is quite worried."

Red Baby seemed to be thinking, "What about you?"

"This black gemstone ring has the effect of resisting the invasion of evil energy. Ling'er should be safe. It's just that the red baby ring was borrowed from Auntie Hongying. Ling'er's request is too much."

"Hehe," the red baby smiled sweetly like a silver bell, "Girl Ling, after all, the ring was given by the demon cultivator, so it is still not suitable to take off the red baby ring. However, there is a way. The red baby ring can be divided into two parts. Second, the effect will be weakened, but it can still prevent the evil energy from invading the body. Just wait a moment, and Auntie will help you separate."

Ren Ling thanked her repeatedly in her heart, and after a while, she saw the red baby ring on her wrist split into two, turning into two thin red rope loops.

"Master," Ren Ling took off a red baby ring, and handed it over, "This bracelet can prevent the body from being invaded by evil spirits, one for Linger and one for Master."

Because the time for lunch was very short, Ren Ling hurriedly asked Bai Feng to put on the red baby ring, and followed the consul back to the field to continue working.

After three days like this, she would see Master every day at noon. Ren Ling noticed that Master's brows seemed to be getting haggard, but when he asked her, he always saw Master smiling confidently, telling her that the day to go back was not far away.

This afternoon, while washing the waste beads, Zhou Niang suddenly walked into the arena and took her away.

"Zhou Niang, you mean Master Ran sent me to see you?"

Ren Ling followed and walked towards the teleportation formation, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, Ran Heng had never looked for her these days, why did he suddenly say he wanted to see her again?
"Yes, I heard that it was the three princes who entered the mansion, Master Ran deliberately asked you to go."
