I encountered many dangers this time, but the gains were also plentiful.
Not only did I acquire three decent treasures, two of which were ancient treasures, but that stone mirror is even more unusual and needs to be studied carefully.
I also collected a lot of Yin spirit stones and Ice spirit stones; these spirit stones alone make the trip worthwhile.
In addition, there are two demon cores. After examining them, he found that both demon cores contained dense Yin evil spiritual power.
These types of demon cores are different from the inner cores of ordinary demons and are referred to by cultivators as "ghost cores". They are rare and only produced in the bodies of some high-level half-demon, half-ghost special creatures.
If these two ghost cores are devoured and refined by the corpse bear, it is very likely to break through to a higher level. The purpose of this trip can be considered achieved.
There is also that special storage jade belt, which contains the wealth of a high-level cultivator.
Although he hasn't had time to check it yet, this person's identity must not be that of an ordinary cultivator. Zhang Ling is currently only thinking about quickly leaving this place to take stock of all his gains.
……
On the way, Zhang Ling was flying upwards, he thought that there were still many disciples of the four great families guarding outside the valley, and it would be troublesome to break through the formation.
Thinking of this, he also wondered if there were any other high-level cultivators in Waterlight Island. If he ran into these people, it would be difficult to escape.
Zhang Ling slowed down his ascent and stopped in mid-air. Then, he opened his mouth and a cyan small gourd spewed out of his body.
The small gourd was his natal magic treasure, the Two-Y儀葫蘆(兩儀葫蘆: Two-Y儀 gourd). The gourd quickly grew larger and transformed into a cyan gourd half a person tall.
Zhang Ling grabbed a gray storage bag from his waist and tossed it. The storage bag turned into a gray light and was sucked into the Two-Y儀葫蘆(兩儀葫蘆: Two-Y儀 gourd).
This storage bag contained a large number of Yin spirit stones and Ice spirit stones, which now being stored in the gourd, added an extra layer of security.
Then, spiritual light flashed from Zhang Ling's sleeve, and the stone mirror, small bell, stone magic weapon, and storage jade belt were all sucked into the gourd.
The Two-Y儀葫蘆(兩儀葫蘆: Two-Y儀 gourd) spun around and turned into a ball of spiritual light, merging into his body.
Zhang Ling sensed the gourd. The treasure fell into his dantian and slowly rotated without the slightest abnormality, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a considerable space in the Two-Y儀葫蘆(兩儀葫蘆: Two-Y儀 gourd) that could be used for temporary storage of items. He had thought of using this method before to collect treasures and avoid the four great families' inspection.
Ordinary storage treasures cannot be stored in another storage treasure, which seems to involve some kind of rule.
The space in the Two-Y儀葫蘆(兩儀葫蘆: Two-Y儀 gourd) seems to be real space, and anything can be stored in it, including storage bags.
This is somewhat similar to the legendary mustard space. It is said that in the ancient world, powerful cultivators directly intercepted space fragments to create storage treasures. That was truly great power.
Although the four great families had just sacrificed all the Foundation Establishment cultivators they had recruited, and there was no need to hide his cultivation anymore, Zhang Ling still put all the treasures into the gourd for safety.
As for how to pass through the formation outside the valley, he had a Forbidden Breaking Bead from Long Lao's storage bag. He thought that opening a gap in the valley's restriction and escaping shouldn't be a problem.
With this in mind, Zhang Ling quickly flew upwards.
Soon, he approached the cliff above. He took out the black Shadow Spirit Talisman again and patted it on his body. His figure suddenly became faint.
With the effect of this talisman, as long as he was careful, there was a high probability that he could leave the island without being discovered by anyone.
After all, the four old ancestors of the four great families were still under the ten-thousand- zhang cliff. Even if there were restrictions outside, at most, there would only be some Foundation Establishment disciples guarding it.
He had no scruples about dealing with Foundation Establishment cultivators.
A faint gray shadow flew up from the bottom of the ten-thousand- zhang cliff, circled in the air for half a circle, and then quickly flew away in one direction.
But the phantom that Zhang Ling transformed into only flew one or two li away from the cliff when it suddenly seemed to discover something and hurriedly stopped, hiding behind a withered tree.
Just as Zhang Ling hid behind the withered tree, a green light suddenly flashed in the sky ahead. A green light and shadow flashed past, its speed astonishing. In just one or two breaths, it crossed a hundred- zhang distance, from one end to the other.
Watching the escape light disappear into the sky, Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The green escape light was five or six times faster than his own flying speed. At least a Golden Core late-stage expert had such escape techniques.
Zhang Ling's face couldn't help but turn gloomy. It seemed that the outside wouldn't be peaceful either. It was likely that other high-level cultivators had arrived here.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, calmed his mood, and flew forward again. But suddenly, Zhang Ling sensed that the surrounding air had tightened a bit, and even the sound of the wind in the air seemed to have stopped.
This feeling was very bad. Zhang Ling quickly looked around and immediately discovered that in the sky twenty-odd zhang away behind him, there was a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. This person was looking at him.
This figure looked unremarkable, but he immediately sensed the powerful spiritual pressure on his body. It was even stronger than when facing a Golden Core late-stage cultivator.
Could it be…
Zhang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and his heart sank to the bottom.
"The kid is quite perceptive. You just came out of this Yin spirit vein place, didn't you?"
A somewhat old voice sounded in his ear, and Zhang Ling came back to his senses. He hurriedly bowed to the person and said politely.
"Greetings, Senior. Junior did indeed just come out of that Yin vein place. It's just that the Yin vein place has a strong Yin evil spiritual power, and many high-level demon ghosts have been generated, which are very powerful."
After Zhang Ling finished speaking, he looked nervously at the figure in the sky. This person also exuded extremely strong Yin evil power, and it was clear at a glance that he was not an ordinary cultivator.
This person might be a ghost cultivator or a demonic cultivator. Zhang Ling sensed a powerful spiritual pressure on this person, proving that he was at least a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator.
Facing this hooded man, Zhang felt a chill all over his body and a strong sense of crisis. If he faced a Golden Core late-stage expert, even if he couldn't defeat them, he would be confident of escaping.
But facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance.
There is a common saying in the cultivation world, 'All are ants below Nascent Soul.' This sentence speaks to the power of Nascent Soul cultivators. Every cultivator who can reach this realm is, without exception, a true expert.
Zhang Ling didn't expect to encounter this level of cultivator in this place, and he even ran into him head-on. This was the first time he had come into contact with a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he was extremely nervous in this situation.
Just as Zhang Ling was uneasy, the hooded man asked again. "Hehe, demon ghosts. Looking at your cultivation, it's not weak. Could it be that you can't even deal with a few demon ghosts?"
