Soul Reaper Horse-Face raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything else. He took out a purple talisman and crushed it. A yellow light immediately enveloped the two of them and flew outside.
The two of them touched the wall and merged into it. They continued to move forward without any hindrance as if they were passing through water.
Shen Luo looked around with a surprised expression on his face.
This kind of underground movement effect, that purple talisman should be a talisman of the earth escape type.
He had seen it in the records of Mount Fangcun. The earth escape talisman was a high-grade talisman. It was very precious. He had always wanted to learn it, but unfortunately, he never got the chance.
"Senior Horse-Face, can you bring me to the place where the ghost was fighting in the passage? The ghost's opponent should be one of my enemies. I want to confirm that person's life or death …" Shen Luo suddenly thought of something and said to Soul Reaper Horse-Face.
"Okay." Soul Reaper Horse-Face cast a spell and changed the direction of their advance slightly. They went into the sealed passage.
After a few breaths, Shen Luo's vision blurred and he appeared in a hole dug out in the passage.
There were several charred marks on the walls and the ground of the hole. It seemed to be caused by a powerful fire element magic weapon.
A dried corpse was lying here. Although its appearance was withered, it was still recognizable. It was Chen Gang.
Shen Luo sneered. His gaze quickly moved away from the dried corpse and fell on the ground near it.
There was a yellow jade hoe, a dark red nine-ringed sword with a ghost head, and a small brass bell. They all emitted a trace of magic power. Obviously, they were magic weapons.
Especially the nine-ringed sword. Although no one was controlling it, it still flickered with dark red spirit light and emitted a strong spiritual pressure. It didn't seem to be inferior to the Five Great Mountains Seal.
Shen Luo was delighted and was about to take the three items.
A black gas flew over as fast as lightning and swept the three items away. They fell into the hands of Soul Reaper Horse-Face.
"Senior Horse-Face, you are an Emissary of Hell. Why are you snatching treasures from me?" Shen Luo put down his arms and said helplessly.
"Even though Hell does have some resources, there are countless Emissaries of Hell like me out there. There are too many monks and too little gruel. But Little Shen brat, don't worry, I won't take everything for myself. I'll only take this Black Gold Demon Head Scythe, and the rest will be yours. " Soul-Hooking Horse-Face chuckled and put away the saber. After that, he handed over the earthen yellow jade hoe and small brass bell.
Shen Luo looked at the Soul Hooking Horse-Face, sighed, and accepted the two items.
"Senior Horse-face, you said that you would only take the ghost head saber. Don't go back on your word."
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the side of Chen Gang's corpse and removed a yellow jade ring from his right thumb.
"A storage magic tool!" Soul Hooking Horse-Face was stunned, and then he slapped his thigh in annoyance.
Shen Luo ignored Soul-Hooking Horse-Face and continued to search Chen Gang's corpse. He didn't find anything else, so he stopped.
"Alright, Senior Horse-Face, let's go." He turned around and walked back with a smile.
Soul-Hooking Horse-Face snorted but didn't say anything. He grabbed Shen Luo and continued to flee.
… …
There was a flash of yellow light somewhere in the Yin Ridge Mountains, and Soul-Hooking Horse-Face and Shen Luo appeared.
"Senior Horse-face, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I might have had to rest here with these soldiers." Shen Luo let out a long breath and thanked Soul-Hooking Horse-Face again.
Although Soul-Hooking Horse-Face had stolen a supreme grade magic tool from him, if it weren't for Horse-face's help, he would have been doomed this time.
"Kid, you seem to be my lucky star. Every time I'm with you, there are benefits. This is for you. Remember to summon me if you need anything in the future. "Soul-Hooking Horse-Face said with a smile. He took out a black silk book and a spiritual contract.
After saying that, Soul-Hooking Horse-Face didn't allow Shen Luo to say anything else. With a flash, he disappeared into thin air.
Shen Luo still had things he wanted to say to Soul-Hooking Horse-Face, but it was already too late. He could only swallow his anger and put away the spiritual contract.
He turned to look in the direction of the ancient tomb. He didn't stay here for long. He waved his hand and took out the pure Yang sword embryo. He shot out of the mountain and quickly left the Yin Ridge Mountains.
He didn't go to Chang 'an City. Instead, he went in another direction.
A moment later, a huge river appeared in front of him. It was magnificent and boundless. It was like a divine dragon entrenched on the earth. It was majestic and imposing, showing off the splendor of the water.
However, the water in the river was slightly yellow. It was a bit of a fly in the ointment.
This river was the Yellow River, the second largest river in the Great Tang.
Shen Luo landed by the river. Looking at the huge river in front of him, his expression gradually turned serious.
Now that he had all the conditions, he could try to break through to the Soul Condensation Realm.
However, he didn't want to break through in Chang 'an City. If he succeeded, he was afraid that he would attract the attention of many people. The Yellow River was sparsely populated and filled with water vapor. It was more suitable.
With this thought, he flew into the river and used the Water Repelling Art to dive to the bottom of the river. Soon, he found a rather flat boulder at the bottom of the river.
He used his art to repair the boulder and made a platform on the boulder. Then, he sat down cross-legged.
Shen Luo's cultivation was getting deeper. The Water Repelling Art wasn't used to defend against enemies. Under the situation where he only needed to separate himself from the river, the mana consumed was negligible. He could use it for a long time. It was very convenient for him to cultivate in seclusion underwater.
However, he didn't start cultivating immediately. Instead, he took out Chen Gang's storage ring, the yellow jade hoe, and the small brass bell. He looked at them carefully.
The yellow jade hoe was a low-grade magic item that didn't look special. Its ability was quite unique. It could be used to break through earth and stone.
Shen Luo refined the jade hoe and slashed at the boulder below him.
With a crashing sound, a large piece of the hard rock was swept down.
He couldn't help but praise secretly. No wonder Chen Gang could dig out the blocked passage so quickly. It turned out that he had such a treasure.
He quickly put the jade hoe aside and took the small brass bell. The bell didn't look big, but it was quite heavy. It seemed to be made of brass. A dragon-shaped pattern was engraved on the surface of the bell.
Shen Luo played with the bell in his hand for a moment. He used the Nine-by-Nine Treasure Fusion Technique to investigate it. Soon, his face showed some excitement.
This small brass bell was a high-grade magic item with nine layers of enchantment.
He now had a top-grade magic item and four or five high-grade magic items. A high-grade magic item with nine layers of enchantment wouldn't make him lose his composure. However, this small brass bell was a defensive magic item.
Shen Luo had many magic items, but he didn't have a single pure defensive magic item. Only the green jade ruyi could be considered half a defensive magic item.
The materials needed for a defensive magic item were harsh. The total amount of materials needed was generally more than that for an offensive magic item. The refining process was more complicated. With so many factors overlapping, there were very few defensive magic items on the market. The price was also much higher than offensive magic items of the same grade.
In reality, his physical body was weak. It wasn't as tough as it was in the dream when he cultivated the Yellow Court Scripture. He had always wanted a defensive magic item to protect himself. Unfortunately, he couldn't get his wish. Now that he finally got one, and its grade was so high, how could he not be happy?
