I'm a cannon fodder, and it makes sense to know XNUMX million points of skills, right?

Chapter 29 Open mind
"Don't fight it, the evil aura will corrode the magic weapon!"

Zhong Lingge didn't expect that the female cultivator she bumped into at random would have such evil objects in her hands. If she hadn't seen a lot of jade slips recently, she might not have been able to recognize them.

"The evil cultivator will use the soul-binding banner to trap the remaining souls of the opponent, allowing them to devour each other and strengthen the souls and magic weapons. This is only a first-level super-grade weapon and is difficult to destroy."

Lan Siyue, Hu Jiufei and Lin Xiaojiu retracted their hands without hesitation and retreated in different directions. Together with Zhong Lingge on the other side, they formed a situation that could be attacked and defended from all sides.

"Finally. Come out. Hahaha."

The remnant soul in the soul-binding banner is translucent black, with an evil aura like black smoke coming out of its body. Judging from the outline, it used to be a female nun.

Her reaction was a little sluggish. She spun around in circles several times, stopped and said in a hoarse voice:
"You guys let me out? In order to repay my kindness, I won't eat you this time. If we meet again next time, I won't be polite, sister -"

The remnant soul let out a harsh and unpleasant laugh, and his figure flickered on the spot for a few times, like a line of black smoke floating into the sky.As soon as she left, the soul-binding flag that fell on the ground lit up with a dark green flame and was completely destroyed.

"Why don't you eat us just to repay your favor? Just make excuses when you can't beat us." Zhong Lingge never picked up the Linglong Tower. The tower kept emitting a gray-white spiritual light in the fighting state, making the surrounding area as bright as day.

Lan Siyue held the spirit sword and looked upward with a frown. "Catch up and kill him?"

"Forget it, she will corrode the magic weapon, and she doesn't have a storage bag. It's not worth fighting this battle." Zhong Lingge added after saying, "If there is no carrier, she will soon be gone."

"That's fine." Lan Siyue nodded. She didn't care about the gain, but the corrosion of the magic weapon was indeed an obstacle. She only had one sword, and she would only use this one before casting her natal sword. Corrosion would be really troublesome.

"Friend Zhong Dao, have you seen the soul-binding flag in the jade slips? How long can she live without the magic weapon? Can she leave the secret realm? If she can get out, maybe I can too?" Lin Xiaojiu rubbed her hands. , round eyes full of expectation.

Zhong Lingge wanted to give her a definite answer, but unfortunately the content of the jade slip did not meet her expectations.

"Whether it's here or outside, if the remnant soul cannot find a monk to take over, it will dissipate sooner or later. The higher the realm, the longer it will live. She is the first level of perfection and should be able to maintain it for one or two hours. If she fails during this period, If you successfully seize the body, it disappears.”

"So that's it. We ghost cultivators can't seize the body. Hey, we can't learn from each other if we have different ways. Forget it, there will always be a chance to go out in the future."

Lin Xiaojiu pouted, her emotions written all over her face. She turned around and looked through the storage bag, not even excited anymore.

"However, I have an idea. Please listen to it and see if it's right."

Zhong Lingge's thoughts were opened by the soul-binding flag.

"The soul-binding flag can accommodate remnants of souls, so it should also be able to accommodate ghost cultivators who also have soul bodies. If there is a soul-binding flag that has not recognized its owner and has not been activated, can it be possible to pack up Fellow Daoist Lin and take him out?"

Hu Jiufei is well-traveled and well-informed, and he is also delicate and good at thinking. After hearing this, he felt that it was a feasible and good solution.

"Theoretically, it is indeed possible. Fellow Daoist Lin's soul is gentler than the monk's remnant soul, and it should be easier to store. But I don't know what will happen after entering the soul flag and taking it out. I have never heard of it in the lower realm. As a ghost cultivator, does this mean that the outside is not suitable for ghost cultivators to survive?"

Zhong Lingge had nothing to do about it.

"Yes, the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm is incomplete. If you leave the carrier, you may lose your soul. You can't let Fellow Daoist Lin stay in the soul flag all the time. It's better to practice in the secret realm, at least to advance."

Lan Siyue is not good at such detailed and divergent thinking. She can only be straightforward: "If there is a first step, you can try to take it first, and then we will talk about it."

"Yeah! Fellow Taoist Lan is right! Ghost life is long, and every step counts! If it is convenient for you to take me out, I will look at the outside world through the soul flag. If it is not convenient for you, I will just stay here. In the storage bag, when the secret realm opens next time, I’ll ask you for a trustworthy Qi refining period to bring me back here!”

Lin Xiaojiu is full of yearning for the outside world. If she hadn't opened the secret realm this time and met the three Taoist friends, she might have been able to settle for the status quo.But once she heard about the wider world and had a brief connection with the outside world, she couldn't resist the urge to know more. "As long as we ghost cultivators don't commit suicide, our lifespan is unlimited! I can afford it in a few decades! Three fellow Taoists, can you take me away? I promise not to cause any trouble to you!"

Lin Xiaojiu blinked her eyes, her translucent baby face was full of desire, cute and pitiful, making it difficult to refuse.

"Then let's look for the soul flag first." Zhong Lingge immediately moved and tipped the fallen female cultivator's storage bag to the ground. When it was poured out, everyone was stunned.

Hu Jiufei was the first to lament: "With thirty thousand low-grade spiritual stones, I still have the leisure to tangle with men. If it were me, I would have gone to the wealthy north to practice cultivation."

"It would be great if it could be used to make swords." Lan Siyue looked sad. In front of this pile of spiritual stones, her ten years of savings seemed like a joke.

Zhong Lingge quickly divided the spirit stones into three piles: "Don't be greedy, they are all yours now. Pack them up at ten thousand each, and the other spoils will be divided later."

She did not participate in this fight, and did not participate in the distribution according to the rules. She concentrated on looking for the unused soul flags.

"Huh?" Zhong Lingge pulled out a dusty flag. It had no sinister aura, and the spiritual aura was not strong.

Lin Xiaojiu was involuntarily attracted and circled around the flag, exuding an aura of joy.

"Friend Zhong Dao, let me try it with my soul consciousness."

Zhong Lingge nodded and handed the flag to her.

Lin Xiaojiu floated the small flag in front of him, probed into his soul for detailed sensing, and the smile on his face gradually brightened.

"There's a soul-nourishing atmosphere in here. It's very comfortable. I can go in!"

"Is it the soul-raising flag?"

Zhong Lingge did not expect that the seemingly inconspicuous flag turned out to be a soul-nurturing flag that was regarded as a treasure by Taoist, demonic and evil cultivators.

"Friend Zhong Dao, does the soul-nurturing flag have any magical effect?" Hu Jiufei walked over and couldn't see anything unusual about the little flag.

Zhong Lingge explained: "The souls of low-level monks are fragile, and their souls will dissipate quickly after being killed, but the soul-nurturing flag can bring in the remnant souls of low-level monks to nourish them. In theory, if the souls of low-level monks are nourished for a long enough time, they can return to wholeness. Have the opportunity to reshape your body."

"Isn't this a heaven-defying treasure? Is it more precious than a fourth-level spiritual weapon?!" Hu Jiufei was surprised and turned to look at Lin Xiaojiu, "Fellow Daoist Lin, maybe you can continue to practice inside!"

Zhong Lingge shook his head. "This is probably a defective product from practicing. It's not that heaven-defying. It can at most keep Fellow Daoist Lin alive, but I'm afraid it won't work for practicing."

"It's fine even if it's a defective product! I don't want spirit stones or other things, I just want this little flag to live in, okay?"

Lin Xiaojiu divided the [-] spirit stones given to her into three parts, looked at the three of them eagerly, and whispered a promise to show that she would not cause trouble.

"I will be obedient and will never run around! Oh, I can't run out either. Then I promise not to talk nonsense and be a mute ghost quietly. From now on, I will speak only if you let me speak. If you don't let me, I will speak. If I speak, I will"

"Okay, stop nagging about Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you think I'll take you with me?" Zhong Lingge held up her forehead. She was just taking a ghost on the road. It wasn't the first time she saw a ghost, so it didn't matter.
