In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages? Chapter 38

Chapter 38 The thief is me

 “What could this stone be?”

 Chen Lin squatted down and observed.

 After the strange rocks in front of me were condensed and formed again, they still looked like blue waves.

The incision at the bottom is smooth, and the overall shape is like a blue pagoda, or a miniature mountain peak, with a natural spire.

 At first glance, the aura is compelling and the appearance is extraordinary.

He tried to reach out and touch it, but it scattered into water splashes all over the ground. After a moment's rest, it regained its appearance as a pagoda.

 Even the top sharp corner is not missing.

 Meditate for a moment.

Chen Lin took out a clay pot containing animal blood from his backpack. The blood inside was close to coagulation at low temperatures and became very viscous.

 Try to touch the outer wall of this clay pot to the strange stone in front of you.

 The result was a grunt.

The stone was pushed and rolled in a circle, but did not turn into water splash again.

Chen Lin pinched his chin, feeling suddenly enlightened.

“So, this thing can only be touched with earthen objects, otherwise it won't even be possible to pick it up.”

 “Is it possible to use magic power?”

 He tried to wrap his palms with magic power and reached out to pick up the stone.

 The result was picked up smoothly.

 It feels very strange in the hand. It looks like a stone, but it feels like holding a ball of water, soft and soft.

He even felt that he could poke his finger inside with a little force...

 Poof!

 “Uh...no, did it really go in?”

 Chen Lin looked at his finger in surprise. Half of the finger had been hidden in the strange stone. It felt that it was quite viscous and completely liquid.

He quickly pulled it out, taking out the liquid inside with it. It stuck to his fingers and radiated wisps of spiritual energy.

The small sharp corners on the stone disappeared and seemed to turn into liquid on his hand.

“Is this some kind of natural spiritual liquid?”

 In the world of cultivating immortals, the effect of spiritual liquid is similar to that of spiritual stones. It is also helpful for cultivation. As long as it is swallowed, the spiritual energy inside can be absorbed, which can save a lot of time of spitting out.

Chen Lin licked his fingers and confirmed his thoughts.

This is really some kind of spiritual liquid.

“But the spiritual energy content in it is a bit low. Drinking this thing is not as good as taking two more breaths when I practice.”

“No, it's because my qualifications are too good. If this thing appears in the world of immortal cultivation, it will definitely destroy the heads of those apprentices, not to mention the casual cultivators in Laoshanfang.”

“And this stone is more than just spiritual liquid…”

Chen Lin lowered his head and found that the 'spire' that had just disappeared from the strange stone was recovering at a slow speed.

 This is actually a stone that can automatically absorb spiritual energy and then convert it into spiritual liquid?

If someone from the world of cultivating immortals gets this thing, I am afraid that he will be able to change his job from a waste material flow to a medicine flow immediately.

 This is where the real cultivation of immortality by mortals begins.

The road to Tianzun must be just around the corner!

 “However, this is the martial arts world!”

 Chen Lin looked at the remaining spiritual liquid on his finger, and suddenly an idea flashed, and he remembered the "Fundamentals of Talismans" he had read in the world of immortality last time.

 He took a breath:

“The spiritual ink used in talismans also has spiritual requirements. Spiritual liquid is the best, and there are also jade liquid, gold and ink on it..."

“I only use ordinary cinnabar spiritual ink in the world of immortality. I have never experienced what it feels like to use spiritual liquid to draw talismans.

 Changing my thinking, the three basic materials of talismans, talisman paper, spiritual ink, and talisman pen, the pile I have now is actually inexhaustible spiritual ink! "

 Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

 Pour out the animal blood from the original pottery pot twice and scrape it clean.

Chen Lin carefully put the strange stone in.

 It turned out to be just enough to hold it.

 “Hey, God is really helping me!”

 He straightened up and looked up at the original location of the strange stone. A stalactite was hanging down, at least 20 meters above the ground:

 “The case has been solved.”

"The big snake probably instinctively felt the benefits of this strange stone, so it chose to settle here." "It's just that it can't reach it and can't climb up, otherwise it would have broken down long ago."

Looking at the traces all around, the big snake must have tried here many times, and even the sharp rocks protruding from the cave wall were smoothed by it.

Traces of blood flowed and froze here, and the ferocious smell of snakes still lingers around.

 The thief is myself!

Chen Lin chuckled and put the pot back behind his back.

 The big snakes and strange rocks are just accidents.

 He has not forgotten why he came here today.

“What on earth was that strange beast I discovered yesterday?”

"It can't be a big snake. If it's not at home, it can only be some other strange beast."

 Turn his head and look in one direction.

Over there is the extension of the cave hall, which gradually becomes lower and lower, and the terrain continues downward. Not far away, it is pitch black again.

 The big cargo discovered yesterday should be not far from this direction.

He lit up a cloud-moving talisman again and walked slowly.

 The search for people and gas talismans still found no life.

 On the contrary, there was a faint sound of rushing water soon ahead...

 There were some ungulate footprints on the ground, stepping directly through the ice and onto the hard soil below.

Chen Lin squatted down and observed for a while, then followed the footprints to look for it.

 Until I found a messy mark between two large rocks nearby, as if some large creature often slept here.

There is also a bunch of black bristles around the stone.

 He picked it up and looked at it, and immediately turned to stone:

 “Is this boar hair?!”

“Is this really the nest of the Ghost-tusked Pig?”

“How did that thing get into the ground?”

 Chen Lin's eyes widened.

This thing is very strange, but he can't help but not believe it.

 Because the farther he went, the lower the terrain became. As he went downhill, there were more and more footprints of the Ghost Tooth Pig.

The sound of water waves lapping against the shore became more and more obvious.

Until I stood in front of a puddle of biting ice water, the shore was covered with footprints made by the ghost-toothed pig both above and below the water.

He finally believed...

 “This is really the nest of the ghost-toothed pig!”

"This should be a dark cave, which leads all the way down from the mountains dozens of meters high, directly leading to the bed of the ice-free river outside. The pig can swim and dive. It usually forages outside and dives directly when it is full. Go back to the nest..."

"No wonder the hunters on the ground can't find this guy. Its nest is underground. How can it be found in such an ordinary location?"

Only when the water level of the frozen river outside is low and the hole on the other side is exposed in the river bed can the hunters discover this place.

This place is amazing!

 After waiting in place for a while, there was still no trace of Ghost Tooth Pig.

Chen Lin knew that now was probably not Gui Ya Zhu's rest time.

 Normally wild boars rest during the day.

 But the ghost tooth pig seems to be the other way around. It goes out to forage during the day and only returns to its nest in the afternoon or evening.

 He detected it in the evening yesterday.

 “Go up now and come back this afternoon.”

 I guess it's only close to noon now.

 It's still early.

 Compared with descending the cave from above, going up from the cave passage is more difficult.

By the time Chen Lin climbed out of the ice cave again, it was already noon outside.

 The wind at the entrance of the cave is still blowing randomly.

He gathered back his loose hair and lowered his head to figure out when to come in the afternoon and quickly walked out of this hillside that was always windy...
