The black stone necklace floated into the air, and a soft light shone on the ghost.

The ghost immediately stopped moving and looked blank, as if it had no soul. It was obvious that it had entered an illusion.

"This black stone necklace is really terrifying. I originally thought that only human cultivators would be trapped if they entered, but I didn't expect that even ghost cultivators could not escape the formation." Murong Ruyin was very shocked.

"I didn't know which world this necklace was a magic weapon, but it was so powerful." Ye Xiong said.

The black stone necklace was quietly suspended in the air. Ye Xiong tried to take it back, but he knew that just as the ghost said, once the necklace is opened, it cannot be taken back unless the trapped person escapes from the formation or dies.

"It hurts, you're not going to have to wait here for a few hours and let the ghosts die of old age in the illusion before they can leave, right?"

According to the ratio of ten years in the illusion to one hour in the outside world, the ghost's appearance is only thirty or forty years old, and it will take at least another fifty years to die. In other words, Ye Xiong has to sit here and wait for five hours.

"Just wait, I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere anyway." Murong Ruyin said.

Ye Xiong held the black sword and said, "I have to try to see if external attacks can affect the black stone necklace when it is activated."

As the current owner of the necklace, Ye Xiong must know every function of the necklace. Otherwise, it will not be easy to control it in the future.

"Ruyin, stay away." Ye Xiong was afraid that she would be affected, so he ordered immediately.

Murong Ruyin walked out of the cave and stayed far away.

After she left, Ye Xiong struck at her with a sword.

The sword light struck the black stone necklace, and all the power seemed to have disappeared into the sea, leaving no trace.

Ye Xiong continued to strike, each sword more powerful than the last. Even if he tried his best, he still could not break through the black stone necklace. Its surface was like a black hole, absorbing all attacks.

"It's so evil."

Ye Xiong called Murong Ruyin back and told her what happened just now.

"The black stone necklace is obviously not from this world. It seems that it can't be broken with brute force."

Ye Xiong had no choice but to wait slowly. He couldn't leave such an important thing behind.

He walked to the bed, touched it, and found that it was full of dust. Afraid of staining Murong Ruyin's skirt, he took out a straw mat from the storage ring, spread it on the bed, and then said: "Sit down

Come here!"

This simple action made Murong Ruyin feel warm in her heart.

She walked over and sat down on the straw mat.

"Sit down too!" she said.

Ye Xiong also sat down, and the two of them sat side by side, quietly waiting for the illusion formation to end.

The two of them hadn't sat together so quietly for a long time.

"Ruyin, how long have we known each other?" Ye Xiong was at a loss for words.

"Almost three years. Although it doesn't feel that long, it feels like we have known each other for a long time." Murong Ruyin said.

Ye Xiong also feels this way. Some people who have known each other for more than ten years feel like they have just met; but some people who have known each other for only two or three years feel like they have known each other for a lifetime and have become life-or-death friends.

Obviously, this was the feeling between him and Murong Ruyin.

Ye Xiong recalled the process of getting acquainted with Murong Ruyin. From the beginning when the two had little interaction, to later they shared life and death together.

There were very few heart-to-heart talks between the two of them, and they were not as lively as he had with other women. It always felt like the moment they realized they liked each other was a matter of course.

It's not spectacular, but it's so real.

Ye Xiong couldn't help but stretched out his hand, took her hand and clasped his fingers tightly.

Feeling his strong fingers holding her hand, a ripple-like feeling arose in Murong Ruyin's heart.

Murong Ruyin was neither excited nor heartbeating, and looked very calm.

There was even a kiss between the two of them, and this holding hand was just a simple gesture between lovers.

If I had to describe a feeling, it would be the feeling of happiness.

The two of them chatted and chatted, and an hour later, the necklace fell from the air with a clatter.

The ghostly figure in the formation turned into a black mist and disappeared.

"Why did he die so soon? It's only been ten years." Murong Ruyin asked puzzledly.

"Not everyone has the willpower to live in an illusion for decades. Ghosts either encounter danger in the illusion, or they can't hold on and commit suicide in there."

Ye Xiong picked up the necklace from the ground and said, "Let's go!"

The two of them left the blocking cave and embarked on the road back to the Immortal Sect.

After returning to the Immortal Sect, Ye Xiong went into seclusion to practice, and Murong Ruyin also went into seclusion.

Now that spiritual practice has become the main task, personal relationships with children have been put aside.

On the mountain behind Xianmen, in the cave.

Ye Xiong sat cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, and his consciousness came out of the inner world.

The fire spirit was still in a deep sleep with no sign of waking up. He fought against the undead and severely damaged its vitality.

You can no longer rely on it, you can only rely on yourself.

Ye Xiong sorted out the exercises and spells on his body and thought about the next direction of practice.

Spells: Fiery Sword Formation (Second Level), Sword Shadow Technique, Red Flame Technique.

Footwork: Wind Step.

Body Protection: True Essence Body Protection.

Mental attack: Soul attack.

Physical Skills: Nine Transformations of the True Ape (First Transformation).

Kung Fu: Unnamed Kung Fu.

Low-level spells such as Sword Shadow Technique, Red Flame Technique, and Wind Step are no longer necessary for mission training. They cannot be upgraded, and their power is extremely small.

The Fiery Sword Formation has been cultivated to the second level. If you want to cultivate to the third level, it is simply impossible now. Not to mention the level is far worse, there is not even the material to make the sword. The Fiery Formation Sword of the third level is not the current black sword.

bearable.

The soul attack technique relies on soul power, so there is no need to refine it.

The only ones left that can be refined are the Nine Transformations of the True Ape and the Nameless Cultivation Technique.

Needless to say, the Nine Transformations of the True Ape are powerful. After Ye Xiong transformed, he directly defeated Chen Xiao, who was not far behind him in strength. However, the second transformation required the use of a spiritual medicine that Ye Xiong had never even heard of to temper his body.

, it is not achieved by simply relying on the fire spirit to forge the body.,

Now that Huoling has fallen into a long sleep, he can't even try to forge his body.

Ye Xiong finally discovered that there was only this unnamed technique left to practice.

He suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. His cultivation suddenly reached a bottleneck, and it was a bottleneck that had no direction at all.

The most fearful thing about practicing a skill is that there is no direction. With Ye Xiong's current state, no matter how many elixirs he takes, it will be useless. The remaining three elixirs of Wenxian Dan, Ten Thousand Years Stalactite, Bing Po and Meng Epiphyllum, are still

No news.

With no other choice, Ye Xiong could only recite the formula of the nameless technique passed down to him by the evil spirit and study it.

Although this technique only has a few thousand words, the text is unclear and difficult to understand. Ye Xiong wanted to break his head, but he didn't know what the formula meant.

At first, he heard from the evil spirits that this technique was very good, so he had no choice but to memorize it.

Unexpectedly, when he asked, even the evil spirit himself had not practiced this technique, he only knew the formula.

Ye Xiong studied for more than ten days, but he didn't even understand the first sentence, so he had to give up.

He felt like he was being cheated!

When we came out of the cave, it was early morning outside, and the air above the mountain was very fresh.

Since it is summer, Xianmen has not yet been closed by heavy snow, and everywhere is green.

"Hello, Master."

"Good morning, Master."

The disciples around him all said hello.
Chapter completed!
