At the same time, Shen Luo and Yan Wushi were flying in a certain direction.
Suddenly, Yan Wushi stopped Shen Luo and brought him down into a dark ravine.
"Such pure Baleful Yin Qi!"
Before the two of them reached the ground, they could already feel the Yin Qi below them. Gusts of Yin Qi rose from the ground like a fountain.
After landing on the ground, the two of them looked into the ravine and discovered that there were two foot-tall plants growing inside.
These plants had leaves but no flowers. The leaves were slightly wider and had jagged edges. They emitted a faint blue light, as if they were carved out of ice.
"Ghost Cut Grass … I didn't think there would be such a thing here." Yan Wushi was shocked.
Shen Luo didn't answer. He carefully counted the leaves of each Ghost Cut Grass and found that they were exactly the same. There were ten leaves in pairs. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in delight.
"It's not just the Ghost Cut Grass, it's the extremely rare Ten Leaf Ghost Cut Grass. This is a Yin type spiritual grass that only appears once in a thousand years. Some True Immortal level nourishing pills require this as an important ingredient to be made into medicine." Yan Wushi said happily.
"I didn't expect that you're not only proficient in refining tools, but also in refining medicine?" Shen Luo was surprised.
"I can't say that I'm proficient. I only know a little about it. In fact, refining tools and medicine have many similarities. This … this is a bit off topic. Shen Daoyou, these two Ten Leaf Ghost Cut Grass are of the same quality. Why don't we each take one? "Yan Wushi stopped talking and suggested.
Shen Luo naturally didn't have any objections.
The two of them dug out the spiritual herbs and stored them in jade boxes. They left and continued on their way.
After an unknown amount of time, the Yin Qi in the air suddenly became denser. The sound of thunder could be faintly heard.
Just as Shen Luo was wondering what was going on, he saw a palace-like building standing on the ground a few hundred feet away. The muffled thunder-like sound was coming from the palace.
Although it was called a palace, it was actually very dilapidated. The front hall and the back hall had been completely ruined. Only pieces of broken walls were left standing. The domed hall in the middle was still intact, but the entire dome had been blown away. It looked like an iron bucket surrounded by stones.
When the two of them got closer, they saw that outside the palace, there were dozens of Lunar Beasts roaring at the palace.
There were many half-bat Lunar Beasts standing on top of the broken walls. One of them seemed to have noticed Shen Luo's approach and suddenly turned its head to look at them.
Shen Luo had already concealed his aura and arrived at the other side of the palace.
The wall facing this side of the palace was more damaged. More than half of the entire wall had collapsed. Shen Luo saw the scene inside at a glance from the gap. He couldn't help but look serious.
Inside the main hall, a tall figure in a black robe was activating a golden bronze bell-like magic artifact, causing it to spin rapidly in the void.
Golden light burst out from the copper bell, and the surface of the bell was rippling with golden light. Hundreds and thousands of golden talisman patterns were reflected in the void, and they were like scriptures floating in the palace, forming a golden talisman formation.
Even though Shen Luo was far away, he could hear thousands of monks whispering and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the array.
Shockingly, at the center of the Golden Talisman Grand Formation stood a young general in golden armor with a golden wheel of light floating behind him. His entire body was covered in gold and red flame markings, and he wore a winged golden helmet with a crimson red crystal embedded in it. He seemed to be awe-inspiring and possessed an extraordinary aura.
If Shen Luo hadn't seen such an existence before, he would've mistaken him for an immortal warrior.
"Asura Puppet Ghost. There's such a thing here …" Yan Wushi also saw the clues and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's not an ordinary Asura Puppet Ghost. This guy's cultivation is probably at the mid-stage of true immortality," Shen Luo said.
He noticed that the Asura Puppet Ghost's forehead and cheeks were also tattooed. However, they weren't the same dark green tattoos he'd seen before. Instead, they were dark red. Although its eyes glowed red, its fierceness was restrained. It didn't reveal any sinister aura. It was clearly different from the one Shen Luo had encountered many years ago.
"That black-robed man doesn't look like a good person either. Look at the Dharma artifact he's using. Although it has a Buddhist scripture array, it's filled with an austere aura. There's no mercy or compassion in it. Moreover, his cultivation seems to be even higher than the Asura Puppet Ghost," Yan Wushi said.
Although Shen Luo heard this, he didn't take it to heart. His attention was focused on a corner of the palace. There stood a black stone tablet half the height of a man. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dark light.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, can I trouble you to support me here? I have something I need to verify," Shen Luo said.
"Brother Shen, these two guys aren't to be trifled with. There are so many Yin Beasts around. It's better to avoid trouble and not get involved." Yan Wushi saw a trace of greed in Shen Luo's eyes. He frowned and tried to dissuade him.
Shen Luo thought of the mysterious stone tablet and wasn't willing to listen.
"It's fine. I'll restrain my aura and go underground. I won't disturb them. Brother Yan, you just need to support me a little. There won't be any problems. If by any chance we are discovered, we can just turn around and run. In order to compete with each other, they will not give up on each other and chase after us, "Shen Luo said with a mischievous smile.
Hearing this, Yan Wushi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. After all, he still needed Shen Luo to go with him.
"Brother Yan, wait a moment. I'll be back soon." Shen Luo laughed and used the Earth Burrowing Art. His body instantly shrank into the ground.
Yan Wushi's gaze turned to the palace.
The black-robed man was fighting fiercely with the Asura puppet ghost. The latter was holding a pitch-black pestle that looked like it was carved out of black jade. The head of the pestle was engraved with mysterious runes. Every time it swung out, there would be the sound of wind whistling. Layers of violent ripples would appear in the void and disperse the golden runes that were coming closer and closer.
However, the black-robed man didn't seem to be in a hurry. He controlled the golden bell leisurely, causing the golden ripples to stack on top of each other. He used the golden runes to compress the Asura puppet ghost.
On the other side, Shen Luo had already activated the Soft Smoke Silk Robe when he went underground. He concealed his aura and quickly moved to the corner of the palace.
As soon as he got close, Shen Luo immediately felt the abnormality of the Devil Qi in his body.
He was overjoyed and hurried to the bottom of the black stone tablet. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the bottom of the stone tablet. He quickly channeled the Devil Qi in his body into the stone tablet.
As expected, this stone tablet was the same as the first one. It quickly absorbed Chi You's Devil Qi like a whale.
Not long later, the Devil Qi absorbed by the stone tablet reached its peak and stopped.
Shen Luo knew that the time was right. He immediately grabbed the stone tablet with both hands and pulled it down.
"Boom!" A muffled sound rang out.
The black stone tablet suddenly sank into the ground along with the collapsing earth and rocks.
