"No matter what, I have already accepted the task of inquiring about the top mountain. Let's go find the Jade Fox Clan first. But before that, I still have to learn this white crane transformation technique. "After a while, Shen Luo muttered to himself.
After that, he took out the jade slip again, put his Spiritual Thought into it, and carefully explored it.
After finding that there was nothing special that he didn't understand, he held his breath and concentrated. While chanting, he channeled his Spiritual Thought and spiritual power at the same time according to the method recorded in the jade slip.
The transformation technique was different from the illusion technique. It was not a trick to deceive people, but it really changed the body, soul, aura, and soul. Therefore, it required the perfect combination of spiritual power, spiritual power, aura, and physical strength.
Originally, this ought to be an extremely difficult matter, but Shen Luo already possessed the body of a True Immortal, his magic energy was sufficient, and the strength of his soul wasn't weak either. Coupled with the fact that he cultivated the Yellow Court Scripture, his cultivation actually went extraordinarily smoothly.
After half an hour, Shen Luo stood up from the ground. He spread his arms left and right, shaking them up and down like a bird flapping its wings. He softly chanted the transformation spell, and then took a deep breath.
His body suddenly became light, and snow-white feathers grew on his arms. His body quickly shrank and changed, turning into a slim and elegant red-crowned crane with bright feathers.
He lifted his foot and took a step forward, but he only felt that his footsteps were a little unstable. He couldn't help waving his hands, trotting all the way forward.
Born as a human, Shen Luo had never paid attention to how birds flew in the sky. He used to fly with the help of spells. Now that he suddenly turned into a white crane, he didn't know how to fly for a while.
After running for a few times, he finally flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
Shen Luo's figure flew high in the sky, looking down at the ground. He could see his figure reflected on the water of the stream.
At first, because he wasn't used to it, he flapped his wings too hard and his legs didn't extend back, so his posture looked a little strange. However, after flying for a quarter of an hour, he adjusted himself continuously and became no different from a real white crane.
After he found the direction of Jilei Mountain, he didn't transform into his human form again. Instead, he just spread his wings and flew in that direction.
While passing through a forest, Shen Luo suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. Looking at the ground, he also saw a huge shadow covering his figure. He immediately understood what had happened.
He hurriedly leaned his body to the side, and two black and shiny hooks slid past his chest. A grey-black figure immediately brushed past him. The figure sank down slightly, and then flew up again. It circled high up in the sky, and then rushed towards him.
"Peregrine falcon …"
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and glanced downwards. Then, he dashed downwards like a javelin and plunged into the dense forest.
The peregrine falcon swooped down and chased him, and also fell into the dense forest.
However, when its body entered the forest, a water arrow suddenly shot out from below, brushing past its wings and shooting into the sky, instantly knocking off several of the feathers on its wings.
The peregrine falcon was frightened. It immediately flew out of the forest, straight into the sky, and spread its wings toward the distance.
After a while, Shen Luo's figure flew out of the dense forest and flew toward Jilei Mountain with a smile on his face. Although he was attacked by the peregrine falcon on the way, it was enough to prove that the White Crane Transformation Skill was really unique.
After flying for hundreds of miles, Shen Luo finally arrived near Jilei Mountain in the evening.
Dozens of miles away, Shen Luo could see a majestic greenish-black mountain range. He didn't rush into the mountain, but flew down to a place where he could vaguely see the light of a lantern outside the mountain.
After landing, Shen Luo found that it was a dilapidated town at the foot of the mountain.
Jilei Mountain was full of black basalt. Most of the houses in this dilapidated town were built with black stones, probably because it was close to the mountain. Outside the gate of the town, there was a stone gate, engraved with three big words that had lost its color: "Quarry Town".
Shen Luo suppressed his aura and picked up a wooden stick that was covered in moss from the side of the road. He wiped the dew and stains on it on his clothes and then limped into the town with the wooden stick in his hand.
Judging from the size of the town and the condition of the houses, this quarry town probably used to be prosperous. Until now, many doors were piled with stones as high as a person, covered with a thick layer of sand and moss. Obviously, they hadn't been touched for a long time.
Many houses on both sides had also collapsed, and there was a dilapidated and desolate scene everywhere.
Shen Luo walked all the way inside for a long time before he finally saw the light that he had seen in the sky. It was at the very center of the town, the largest and most magnificent courtyard that occupied the most space.
Although it was magnificent, it was only compared with the surrounding houses. In fact, there were only three courtyards. The first and the last two courtyards were still intact, but the house in the center had all collapsed.
As for the yellow light, it was coming from the last courtyard they entered.
Shen Luo walked to the front yard, held the copper ring on the door with his hand, and knocked several times, but there was no response.
"Is anyone there?"
Shen Luo shouted, but it seemed that he had no strength after a long journey, so his voice was low and timid.
No one in the yard answered.
Shen Luo increased his strength and knocked on the copper ring on the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened with a creak.
He frowned slightly, looked inside through the crack of the door, and shouted again, "Is anyone there?" Then he pushed the door open and walked into the yard.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps. A middle-aged man with a sallow face and deep eye sockets ran out of the ruins of the middle yard in a hurry.
When he saw a dirty young man coming in, the middle-aged man's face suddenly flashed a touch of disgust, and he shouted,
"Where did this unlucky guy come from? Why are you barging in?"
"My family was in trouble, and I fled all the way here. I haven't eaten a grain of rice for several days, and my stomach is really hungry. Seeing that there are still lights in the yard, I want to come in and see if I can get some food." Shen Luo sighed and said weakly.
"You still want to ask for food at this time of the year? Are you crazy? Get out of here … "The middle-aged man's deep eye sockets showed a faint color, and he said angrily.
"Uncle, you …"
Seeing that Shen Luo still wanted to argue, the man was even more furious. He picked up a piece of debris from the ground and wanted to throw it at Shen Luo.
"Stop …" At this moment, a clear voice called out to him.
Shen Luo tilted his body, looked around the middle-aged man, and looked back. He saw a young man in a black robe, whose face was as pale as paper, walking over.
