Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

"Lishan".

The constable responded.

What he said next surprised Xue Chen even more.

Today, Old Monster Yang of Lishan invited some miscellaneous and unorthodox sects to hold a secret trading meeting. At first, everything was fine, but the mortal maids outside the door waited for an hour without any movement, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and push the door open.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Old Monster Yang, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, and some miscellaneous sects and unorthodox practitioners in the mountains, all died and disappeared.

Moreover, their vital energy was completely drained.

The most terrifying thing is that none of them screamed before they died, and they all died on the chairs, without moving an inch!

Xue Chen was startled.

The other constables' expressions hardened.

"What exactly is Deng Hui trying to do? Not only did he kill the Taoist priest guarding the mortuary, but now he's starting to kill miscellaneous and unorthodox sects. Isn't he afraid that the people from Xuanqing Academy will come? The city of Tianhai County is only three to five hundred li away from Changping County!"

Xue Chen gripped the reins tightly, feeling immense pressure.

Then Xue Chen asked, "Does Daoist Cheng Xiu know about this?"

"I know. The magistrate sent someone to inform Daoist Cheng Xiu as soon as he learned of this matter. Daoist Chen Ye and the others must also be aware of it by now," the constable replied again.

Hearing this, Xue Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's find Daoist Cheng Xiu first, then go to Lishan. Deng Hui was able to kill Old Monster Yang and his group of miscellaneous and unorthodox sects silently, so his cultivation level must not be that of an ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. If we rush to Lishan, and he intercepts us on the way, we will have no chance of escape."

The words fell.

Xue Chen lashed the horse's rump with his whip.

Snapped--

The brown horse neighed, kicking up dust.

The clattering of hooves echoed in their hearts like heavy drumbeats, causing a vague unease.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Yesterday, Gu Qing did not return to Wufeng Temple, nor did he go to Fufeng Forest. Instead, he spent the night in Gu Family Village.

I enjoyed a rare moment of family warmth.

After all, who knows when I'll be able to go back again.

After leaving the remaining four ounces of Five Elements Divine Sand to his parents, Gu Qing returned to Wufeng Temple the following evening.

Upon returning, he first sent the Corpse-Eating Worms into Fufeng Forest and then subtly inquired about Deng Hui's affairs, but unfortunately, Li Fu knew very little about them.

However, the thought that the Corpse-Eating Worms had now reached the second tier calmed Gu Qing down considerably.

After leaving Fufeng Forest, Gu Qing went straight to the pharmacy, first going upstairs to pay her respects to Lu Xingzhi, and then finding Ding Xian.

As night fell, Ding Xian immediately led Gu Qing toward the back mountain of Wufeng Temple, but the further they walked, the colder Gu Qing felt. Even with only the first level of Qi Refining and a hundredfold Yin Body tempering, Gu Qing could still feel the chill seeping into his bones.

However, unlike the situation in Fufeng Forest, the yin energy in the back mountain of Wufeng Temple surged out from underground.

"Senior Brother Ding, why is the back mountain of the temple so cold and damp?" Gu Qing raised his hand and plucked a leaf that was frozen solid.

Click!

Just a quick pinch.

The leaves shattered into seven or eight pieces as crisply as shards of porcelain.

Ding Xian stepped into the dark forest, explaining as he went, "Because the back mountain of our Wufeng Temple is a shady place, and it's only at the second level. For us righteous cultivators, it's not a good place, but for you, junior brother, it's an excellent place for cultivation."

"Second-tier Yin Land..."

Gu Qing immediately recalled the information about the Yin Land.

The wondrous method of nurturing insects is recorded in the book, as is the true method of building a foundation for insects without return.

There are steps in the shady area.

Unranked burial grounds include cemeteries and mortuaries.

Entering the Yin land, one will find mass graves or places where the Yin energy of the earth veins surges.

The cemetery in Fufeng Forest is a first-class Yin land, and it is a high-quality first-class Yin land that combines the Yin energy of the tomb mound and the earth vein.

As for the second order.

Higher quality.

For unorthodox practitioners, although cultivating within this environment is detrimental to their own health, one day of cultivation can be equivalent to several days of practice outside.

"Since there is a second-level Yin land on the back mountain of the temple, why are there not many unorthodox practitioners in the temple?" Gu Qing asked casually.

Ding Xian laughed and said, "Because this land is used to grow yin and evil spiritual herbs, not for unorthodox cultivators to use for cultivation."

The words fell.

As Ding Xian walked, he entered a fog. Gu Qing paused for a moment before following him. After a few steps, he felt the token of the Sword-Bearing Daoist in his arms tremble. And with that tremor, the white fog in front of him gradually receded, and the secluded path in the forest suddenly opened up.

As far as the eye could see, rows of white lamps floated in the air, swirling with dense yin energy above the yin ground.

Within the shady area were fields of medicinal herbs.

As the moonlight fell, one could see that the fields were filled with all sorts of malevolent and purported medicinal herbs.

The tree bears fruit, but the fruit resembles a human head.

The medicine was like a snake, its branches and leaves constantly wriggling.

Gu Qing was horrified by all of this, and even saw a five-colored flower growing on a corpse.

"These are all yin and evil spiritual herbs supplied to Xuanqing Academy, and the Ghost Leaf you will cultivate in the future is also one of them. There are quite a few Daoist boys in the Yin Land tending to these yin and evil spiritual herbs. If you need them, you can just send them to do so."

Ding Xian added another sentence.

"Junior brother, don't worry. Cultivating Ghost-Covering Leaves is no easy task. Currently, only Master has successfully cultivated one. Of the three materials, you only need to cultivate one Ghost-Covering Leaf, and that will be enough."

That's all.

Ding Xian turned and bid farewell to Gu Qing, leaving in a hurry, seemingly unwilling to stay any longer.

……

As soon as Ding Xian left, Gu Qing looked around and his gaze fell on the young Daoist disciples who were tending to the Yin-evil spiritual medicine.

Upon hearing Ding Xian address Gu Qing as "Junior Brother," they all put down their work and bowed respectfully from a distance.

Gu Qing raised his hand in a simple response, and then took out the cultivation materials from the five corpse bags, but only took one set for now.

The first step in cultivating the Ghost Leaf is to plant the medicinal plant in a shady place, and then nurture it with yin methods to protect its germination and growth.

This step is extremely taxing on yin energy.

And once you start working, it takes all night.

Fortunately, Gu Qingyin's internal energy was sufficient, and being in a second-tier Yin land allowed him to recover his internal energy during rest.

But just after planting the medicinal herbs in the yin land, Gu Qing frowned as she sensed the immense yin energy beneath.

Because he sensed the aura of death again.

But this yin energy is rather strange.

They remained firmly buried underground, as if they were being pressed down by something.

however.

When Gu Qing tried to use his senses to explore further, his senses, which could originally detect an area of ​​ten feet around him, could only penetrate half a foot.

As he tried to go further, another powerful force blocked his exploration.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing immediately took out the Earth Yin Insect Nest Jar and, with a wave of his hand, made the Hollow Shovel Beetle burrow into the Yin Earth.

Although the soil in the shady area is hard, it cannot stop the piercing of the hollow stag beetle, which easily penetrates to a depth of more than ten feet.

Just then, the Void-Shattering Stag Beetle suddenly crashed into a stone wall. After pushing away the surrounding yin soil, densely packed secret characters appeared before his eyes. Through the Void-Shattering Stag Beetle, Gu Qing could clearly sense that it was they that were blocking his sensory exploration, and it was they that were suppressing the corpse energy deep underground.

"No, this isn't a stone wall!"

Gu Qing quickly controlled the Void Shovel Beetle to shuttle along the edge of the stone wall. After circling around and around, a stone coffin was transmitted to his mind through the Void Shovel Beetle's perception—a corpse was buried beneath the Yin ground!

"The corpse buried in this kind of stone coffin is probably not ordinary."

With anticipation, Gu Qing quietly controlled the Void Stag Beetle to search for a gap in the stone coffin, attempting to enter and explore it.

[Two chapters completed.]

Good night, everyone!
