Chapter 55 Soul Split
Chapter 55 Soul Split
The old man in green robe opened the green gourd, and a group of gray moths flew out. A quick count showed that there were about fifty or sixty of them.
These moths fluttered their wings slightly in the air, with dots of fluorescent powder floating around their wings and the patterns on their wings also faintly mysterious. Everyone present was concentrating on observing them.
"I have cultivated my fog moth into a spiritual insect. It can release gray fog to conceal its body shape, and can also sprinkle fluorescent poison powder, which will dissolve the spiritual power in the body of the monks after being inhaled."
The old man in green robe began to introduce the magical uses of the spiritual insects, while pinching his hands together.
The moths on the field fluttered wildly, and gray mist was released, covering the figure of the old man in green robe.
Everyone present was surprised to find that although they could see it with their eyes, they could not sense the breath of the green-robed old man with their spiritual senses!
The black-robed Taoist nun couldn't help but praise: "Daoyou's spirit insect is truly extraordinary. It can actually isolate the aura, which is a life-saving skill at a critical moment!"
The hook-nosed man next to him snorted coldly: "It might be very convenient to use it for sneak attacks!"
The green-robed old man dispersed the gray mist, smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, it's just a trifle. If you provoke a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he can release his spiritual consciousness, and then you can't hide it."
Lin Shan repeatedly praised the green-robed old man for being so modest: "Being able to deceive the spiritual perception of a Qi training cultivator is already quite remarkable. What about the other ability to release poison?"
The old man in green robe smiled and said don't be anxious, then he made another gesture and the gray moths fluttered again, and pieces of gray fluorescent powder were scattered and landed on the table.
The old man in green robe indicated that everyone could experience it for themselves.
Lin Shan first looked around and saw that the black-robed Taoist nun and the hooked-nosed man were not very scared. They each took some powder from the table, put it under their noses and sniffed it, and their expressions did not change.
Lin Shancai also tried it himself. He took some and put it under his nose to sniff it.
He immediately felt that he seemed to be feeling a little mentally uncomfortable, and the spiritual power in his body disappeared slightly.
The black-robed Taoist nun spoke at this time: "Daoyou, I'm afraid that the spiritual insects will only work if there are enough of them, right? There are only fifty or sixty of them in front of us. I'm afraid that even if they use poison, they can only deal with those in the early stage of Qi training. If there are hundreds of them, I'm afraid they will be useful to us."
Lin Shan and the hook-nosed man on the side also nodded slightly, and looked at Master Huang and the woman in the bamboo hat on the side. The two of them also experienced the fluorescent powder themselves.
The woman in the bamboo hat was wearing a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but Master Huang seemed to be interested.
That’s right! Master Huang was moved!
This moth can hide its breath and release poison. For Master Huang, who is also in urgent need of means, it is natural that he is jealous.
The green-robed old man laughed sinisterly, "These fifty-odd fog moths were just bred by me, and they are all ownerless spirit insects. They only cost 20 spirit stones. If any Taoist buys them, he can drip blood to recognize the owner and then command them."
In addition, the green-robed old man changed the subject and looked at Master Huang meaningfully:
"Although this spiritual insect is generally toxic, its life-saving and hiding effects are amazing!"
The people in the field saw through it but didn't say anything, thinking that the green-robed old man wanted to take advantage of Master Huang, after all, you have the lowest cultivation and no means. I'm giving you a chance, do you want it?
If this gourd of spirit insects costs 20 spirit stones, you can buy a low-level magic weapon in the Xiuxian Market.
However, in terms of value it is definitely not as good as a magic weapon, but the old man in green robe is sure that Master Huang needs a way to save his life.
Afterwards, the old man in green robe followed the rules, collected the spirit insects, and passed the green gourd to everyone one by one for them to check.
The other three were obviously unmoved. Spirit insects needed to be accumulated in large numbers, and 20 spirit stones were too expensive for this number. The poisoning effect was only useful for the early stages of Qi training. The concealment effect could only conceal the breath, but the eyes could still see it.
It is of little use unless it is in a foggy day or in a forest.
When it was Lin Shan's turn, he took a look at a moth in his hand and found that the strengthening panel did not respond. It was also expected that living creatures were not within the strengthening range.
However, the green gourd in the other hand did react.
Quality: Acquired
Introduction: An ordinary gourd can be refined to raise a small number of spiritual insects (with a trace of soul hidden inside).
Enhancement required: 4 points
……
Lin Shan was somewhat surprised. He was just wondering how a gourd could trap a spirit insect. It turned out that it had been roughly refined by the post-natal period. But what about this soul division?
Lin Shan glanced at the old man in green robe, who had been staring at this side. When he saw him looking at him, he nodded and smiled at him.
Could it be that this old man is cheating?
Lin Shan sensed it himself and found nothing wrong, but the enhancement panel indicated that there was a "hidden soul." Lin Shan naturally did not doubt the judgment of the enhancement panel.
Could it be that the old man in green robe wants to take advantage of Immortal Master Huang?
Yes, Master Huang has such a low level of cultivation and a huge amount of money.
Lin Shan didn't know whether he should remind him or not. After all, Master Huang was one of their own. When they set out on the journey, the two of them would definitely take care of each other. They were part of a small circle within this small circle.
But if he brought it up in public now, saying that there was something wrong with the gourd, not to mention whether he would turn against the green-robed old man, the others would not be able to find out whether there was a soul in the gourd, and no one would believe him!
However, Lin Shan decided to give it a try. He played with the gourd in his hand and said, "This spiritual insect is not bad. I am very interested in it."
After saying that, he looked across.
The green-robed old man's face froze. He purposely sold only fifty or sixty of them, thinking that the people in the middle stage of Qi training would not look favorably upon them. He just sent them to Master Huang, but he didn't expect that this kid named Lin would also intervene.
Did he see something?
The green-robed old man couldn't help but become suspicious, but after a moment he denied his previous guess. The way he hid his soul was quite mysterious, and it would be impossible to discover it unless he was at the foundation-building stage or above.
This kid is such a troublemaker!
The green-robed old man muttered in his heart, but laughed dryly: "These spiritual insects are of little use to us mid-stage cultivators. It is better to give them to Fellow Daoist Huang for self-defense."
But apart from Master Huang and the woman in the bamboo hat, who else present is not a shrewd human being?
Since the green-robed old man wanted to earn spirit stones, it didn't matter who he sold it to. Why did he only like Master Huang?
At that moment, the black-robed Taoist nun and the hook-nosed man sat in their seats, deep in thought.
Lin Shan guessed the answer through his answer, and without saying anything more, he suddenly laughed twice! He almost scared the old man in green robe! Then he passed the gourd down.
Well, don’t ask, if you ask, I learned it from the nightingale.
After everyone looked around, although Master Huang was a little confused, he could not find any problems.
In the end, he bought it, and no one was surprised.
……
Next it was the turn of the woman in the bamboo hat. She took out the blue beads, and you could faintly see ripples of water inside.
"Water-repellent beads are low-level magical tools that can penetrate about three meters underwater. They are also immune to low-level water-related spells." The young voice of the woman in the bamboo hat was pleasant to the ear. Lin Shan couldn't help but secretly guess that she must be good-looking.
The others looked strange, immune to low-level water spells.
Isn't it possible that the water arrow talisman of the black-robed Taoist nun is antagonized by nature?
