Chapter 137: Contaminated Spiritual Essence, Talent Advancement

Bai Zhi had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that Jiuli Sect has two holy objects?"

Lu Ling's voice was still indistinguishable between male and female, and he said frankly: "To be precise, there was only one in the beginning."

"A hundred years ago, the only holy object was contaminated by the evil god and was on the verge of losing control. So the leader of Jiuli at that time split the only holy object into two at the cost of his life."

"The contaminated and out-of-control part was sealed to the bottom of the abyss, while the other part, although its spirituality was greatly reduced, no longer faces out-of-control and destruction."

"And I am part of that stability."

Bai Zhi tried hard to digest the information that sounded cold.

"The evil god... pollution? Who is he?"

Having experienced a strange resurgence personally, Bai Zhi was already prepared for the real existence of the evil god, but this was the first time he heard about the so-called "evil god pollution".

Lu Ling glanced at the tall figure dozens of meters tall and softly uttered two words:

"Deer Demon."

"Of course, this is just one of His identities...one of the identities in human cognition. Maybe He has other forms."

"The specific contaminated memory has disappeared since I was separated. I only remember that it was because the previous leader of Jiuli performed a certain ritual that this evil god was summoned."

"The arrival of the Deer Demon not only caused the death of the previous Jiuli Cult Master, but also some of the sacred objects sealed in the abyss were completely contaminated and turned into his 'shadow'."

Even Jiuli Dongtian can't escape the strange pollution... Bai Zhi's heart sank, and he became more and more worried about the future of the world.

But this worry was soon put aside by self-mockery... You can't even protect yourself. Still thinking about this?

Bai Zhi asked in a solemn voice: "What will this deer demon's shadow do to me if you don't take action?"

Lu Ling explained:

"Its body is actually still sealed in the stone pillar. Even though it looks very big now, it is actually a clone of Tao thoughts like me, built from the power of spiritual thoughts, so it cannot obliterate you. It can only corrode you with chaotic thoughts. Contaminate you."

"When your consciousness is completely contaminated and you lose control and become a walking zombie, you will trigger the rules of Ji Abyss and be sealed by the large formation in this square, just like these large and small stone pillars you see."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi was stunned. Dozens of hundreds of stone pillars in this square actually sealed monsters?

"The evil god's pollution a hundred years ago caused many existences that could not be dealt with in the Jiuli Sect, not only monsters, but also humans..."

"In each stone pillar, there is an out-of-control creature sealed. Only the Shadow of the Deer Demon is too powerful. Among the seals present, it is the only one that can interfere with the outside world with its thoughts."

"So, the shadow of the deer demon has become the eye of the Jiyuan magic circle. With it, even normal creatures will be sealed, because once they are contaminated by it, they will fall out of control and trigger the magic circle. "Bai Zhi concluded.

"That's right." Lu Lingxuying nodded.

"The crystals on these stone pillars you see are all spiritual essences that have been released by sealed objects within a hundred years. Because they are strangely contaminated, no one in the Jiuli Sect dares to use them to improve their cultivation." Lu Ling And added.

Bai Zhi thought, although these spiritual accumulations were strangely contaminated, he might not be able to capture them...

Lu Ling seemed to see through Bai Zhi's thoughts and reminded: "Although other people cannot absorb these spiritual accumulations, maybe you can..."

Speaking of this, Luling paused and added: "But you should evaluate the risks yourself."

Of course Bai Zhi understands that this is to remind him of the risk of "losing control", and he has not forgotten the strange purple light sleeping in his consciousness...

Bai Zhi said gratefully: "I see, but I have a question... Since Li Yuan intends to suppress me, why did you choose to help me?"

Lu Lingxuying was silent for a while and said: "You can understand that I am helping you because you have been infected with the Immortal Reincarnation Gu and have an important connection with the Jiuli Sect."

"Moreover, the leader's will sometimes may not lead the Jiuli Sect further."

Bai Zhi secretly chewed on the meaning of the other person's words. In Lu Ling's eyes, he obviously posed no threat to the Jiuli Sect, but what was more meaningful was the second half of the sentence...

Could it be that Lu Ling and Li Yuan have differences?

As a sacred object of the Jiuli Sect, you don't completely obey the leader?

As if he understood what Bai Zhi was thinking, Lu Lingxuying whispered: "Jiuli Sect has always inherited a concept, and that is the 'Tenth Person System'."

"The tenth man system...what is that?"

"If nine people look at the same information and come to the same conclusion, then the tenth person must object. No matter how unreasonable it seems, the tenth person must assume that the other nine are wrong and try to prove it." Deer Ling Xuying explained.

"The top decision-makers of Jiuli Sect include the leader and eight other elders, and I am the 'tenth person'."

Bai Zhi took a deep look at Lu Lingxuying.

It is incredible to be able to maintain one's independence when most people have the same idea.

But if this ‘tenth person’ is the nearly flawless Jiugong Deer Spirit, a sacred object of the Jiuli Sect, then it’s not that surprising.

"No matter what your reasons are for helping me, my gratitude to you will not change. At the same time, I have a merciless request, which is..."

"Can you take me out of here?" Bai Zhi asked tentatively.

"no."

Lu Lingxuying's answer was without any hesitation.

"It's not that I don't want to, to be precise, I can't do it. My magical power lies in the way of 'creation', and I am really powerless against the barrier." The Lu Ling phantom looked directly at Bai Zhi and added.

Suddenly, the Lu Ling phantom changed the subject:

"But I can give you another chance of creation, and restore the 'poison refining poison' in your body to a value close to its original value. This is also one of the purposes of leaving this phantom."

As soon as the voice fell, before Bai Zhi could react, a white light suddenly shot out from the center of Lu Ling's eyebrows and sank into the body of the demon spider.

Then the Lu Ling phantom slowly dissipated, and Bai Zhi's body began to breed miraculous changes.

Wait, if you leave, won't the Deer Demon Shadow lose control again?

Bai Zhi didn't have time to feel what Lu Ling did to him, so he hurriedly looked at the tall Deer Demon Shadow.

But he saw that the other party began to slowly retreat until he disappeared into the giant pillar behind him, leaving only a pair of giant horns pointing to the sky outside the giant pillar.

Ding! The system prompt came at this time:

[The talent ‘Poison Refining Gu’ is improved by the power of creation and advanced to the talent ‘Immortal Gu’]

Immortal Gu!? What does this have to do with the Immortal Reincarnation Gu?

The next moment, the characters of the talent analysis appeared in front of Bai Zhi.

[Immortal Gu]: A new awakening talent, which is repaired and advanced from the talent ‘Poison Refining Gu’.

Inheriting the characteristics of ‘Poison Refining Gu’; the body is indestructible if the soul is immortal; when the soul encounters a fatal attack, the original soul and memory can be retained and reborn in the eggs of the spider followers, but the strength of mental power and vitality will be greatly reduced.
