Chapter 27 Songyang Cave
Ye Ling's calmness and indifference shocked Yun Wan of Fengchi Sect and left her feeling deeply frustrated.
Even her junior sister Xiao Rong couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly sent her a spiritual message: "Sister Yun, why did you use the soul-obsessing technique to seduce Medicine Master Ye? It seems like a failure! People are simply too lazy to talk to you. "
Yun Wan's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, and she also carried Ye Ling behind her back and sent a voice message to Xiao Rong's spiritual consciousness: "This person's healing skills are superb. If he can completely worship under my skirt, he will be used by me and driven by me from now on." , That would be great! It’s just that my soul-stirring technique didn’t work on him! Is it because he didn’t dress up well when he went out today?”
Yun Wan was worried and unwilling, so she deliberately stayed behind, took out a bronze mirror from her storage bag, hurriedly dressed herself up in the mirror, and then came forward to seduce Ye Ling in a charming manner.
It's a pity that Ye Ling turned a blind eye to Yun Wan's enthusiasm, and even looked at her with a strange expression under the veil of the bamboo hat.
Ye Ling didn't think that his charm was big enough to seduce beautiful women. He knew that he was ordinary in appearance, neither handsome nor powerful. From the disappointment of the two previous girls when they saw his true face in Lushan, he was completely disappointed. This can be concluded.
Adhering to his customary caution, Ye Ling sneered in his heart: "Yun Wan has repeatedly used the Fengchi Sect's charm skills on me, so there must be a purpose! I guess this kind of charm skills belong to the category of soul and mind attacks. I only need to use most of them. If your mind and soul are immersed in the Immortal Mansion Jade Pendant, she will not be able to seduce her soul and fall into her spell!"
Thinking of this, Ye Ling immediately put most of his mind into the Xianfu jade pendant hanging close to his chest, leaving only a trace of his soul in his body, not afraid of Yun Wan's charm.
Yun Wan almost tried her best and spent a lot of energy. Her eyelids hurt from her charming eyes. She still couldn't shake Ye Ling's mind. She couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she still needed help during this trip. With Ye Yaoshi's healing skills, no one can be sure that there are any dangerous beings in the cave.
Finally, under Xiao Rong's secret ridicule, Yun Wan gave up her attack on Ye Ling and became serious, like a lady.
Ye Ling watched the woman's actions with cold eyes through the gauze of the bamboo hat. Seeing how quickly she changed and the huge contrast between before and after, he couldn't help but be amazed at Fengchi Sect's secret technique of seducing souls.
"If my guess is correct, the person who falls under her spell will be infatuated at least, or become her puppet at worst. Everything will have to obey her command! Hum, fortunately, I am quite self-aware, She is determined and has the Immortal Palace Jade Pendant to hide her heart and soul. She cannot shake my true heart no matter what!"
There was a chill in Ye Ling's eyes, and he had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the world of immortality and the sinister nature of the human heart!
"So what about teammates? They're just people who are using each other for profit! When we actually go into the cave to hunt for treasure, let me be cannon fodder, and treat me like a stupid young man, hehe, I'm sorry! I It’s more important to save our own lives, we can fall out at any time!”
Ye Ling's thoughts were racing rapidly along the way and he basically remained silent, which made Yun Wan and Xiao Rong run into several weak points and were very unhappy.
As the three of them went deep into the dense forest of Songyang, Ye Ling found that the number of demon snakes and bears entrenched in the forest gradually became scarce. You can see the bodies of chopped-up monster snakes and monster bears everywhere. Apparently many monks have come here and almost cleaned up the depths of the dense forest.
Xiao Rong pointed to some towering ancient trees in the northeast and introduced to Ye Ling: "Here! The natural cave first discovered by the disciples of the Yun Cang Sect is under the big tree over there. When we left, there were already people gathering there. There are many monks!”
They could even vaguely hear the noise of people in front of them, so the three of them quickened their pace, pushed aside the bushes in the forest, and saw dozens of people in the middle or even late stages of Qi training under the towering old pines. The monks gathered here and were bargaining with the disciples of Yun Cang Sect.
"You are not allowed to enter until you hand over one hundred spirit stones! Those with cultivation levels above the eighth level of qi training are not allowed to enter!"
Ye Ling looked intently and saw that the legendary natural cave was located under a gentle hill behind ancient trees and pines. It was surrounded by the roots and leaves of ancient trees and pines. There were several Yun Cang Sect members all dressed in black. The elite disciples controlled the entrance of the cave and shouted at the monks who entered the cave.
What surprised Ye Ling was that among the dozens of monks gathered in the forest, there were a team of casual cultivators from Maple Bridge Town who did not have jade medals hanging on their waists; there were also disciples of Zhenbei Yuxu Sect who had jade medals hanging on their waists. They are five-color jade plaques that represent status; there are even disciples of the Nansheng Sect hanging with flame-shaped jade plaques!
Of course, apart from that, there were the most disciples of the Yun Cang Sect nearby, accounting for nearly half of them. They all hung cloud-shaped jade plaques. Ye Ling could tell their identities at a glance just based on the shape and color of the jade plaques.
"Among all the people who came here, I am the only one who is a disciple of Yaogu!"
Ye Ling quietly dispersed his consciousness and scanned the entire place. He found no disciples of his sect, not even a familiar face.
The arrival of Yun Wan and Xiao Rong made the monks in the forest shine. However, Ye Ling, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, was ignored by everyone.
"Recruit teammates! If you want monks who have reached the fifth level of Qi training, it is best to be a disciple of the Yuxu Sect who is good at spell attacks, or a disciple of the Nansheng Sect with strong attack power."
Yun Wan's clear voice reached everyone's ears, and many monks responded and rushed over to introduce themselves.
There was an elite disciple of the Yuxu Sect who was practicing Qi at the seventh level. He looked wretched. When he saw Yun Wan and the two beautiful female cultivators, his eyes were wide open. He wiped his saliva and ran over first, smiling flatteringly, "You two are the junior sisters of Fengchi Sect, right? I am not talented, but I am good at wood and thunder Taoist magic. I am willing to join the team!"
When Yun Wan saw his wretched appearance, she was a little displeased. She frowned slightly and said coldly with a straight face, "Your cultivation is too high. Don't do it! Humph, if you join the team, will you be the captain or me? We only want those who practice Qi at the fifth and sixth levels, and we won't consider others!"
The elite disciple of the Yuxu Sect was still unwilling, and smiled apologetically, "It doesn't matter, you can still be the captain! I am willing to follow and be the flower protector of the two junior sisters, hehe."
Yun Wan was so angry that her eyebrows were raised, but it was inconvenient to offend people in public, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart and refused coldly.
While Yun Wan was recruiting teammates, Ye Ling had been keeping an eye on the entrance of the natural cave. He saw the elite disciples of Yun Cang Sect bossing around and collecting the money to enter the cave. When he met someone with a cultivation level above the eighth level of Qi training, he would stop them without hesitation and would not let them enter the cave no matter how much money they paid.
Ye Ling was secretly surprised and turned back to ask: "Xiao Rong, Songyang Forest, like Changxi Plain, is a place for cultivators around Fengqiao Town to practice. It is not within the sphere of influence of Yuncang Sect! How could they occupy this cave? Didn't anyone come out to oppose it?"
Xiao Rong lowered her voice and sighed: "Pharmacist Ye, you don't know that this natural cave was discovered by a team of Yuncang Sect disciples who were practicing in Songyang Forest a few days ago. At that time, they went in to explore and two people died in succession, so they hurried back to report to the sect. Now, the cave in Songyang Forest has become the private property of their Yuncang Sect. Yuncang Sect sent a team of elite cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to guard it, and also spread the word to attract cultivators to come and search for treasures. They are responsible for collecting the money from the cave, one hundred spirit stones per person, and ten people are one thousand! It's really a profit!"
Ye Ling had also heard that the major sects around Fengqiao Town often competed for immortal cultivation resources. The relationship between the major sects is very delicate now. They seem to be at peace, but in fact, the open and covert struggles have never stopped!
Ye Ling pondered and said, "The elite disciples of Yuncang Sect have restricted the cultivation level of the cultivators who can enter the cave. Those who are above the eighth level of Qi training are not allowed in. The purpose is self-evident! They are afraid that the cultivators who come here have too high cultivation levels and plunder the treasures in the natural cave, which is beyond their control! Hehe, with only a team of elite disciples in the late stage of Qi training guarding here, aren't they afraid that there will be foundation-building cultivators coming to break into the cave?"
Xiao Rong patiently explained, "I heard that there is a powerful Yuncang Sect elder in the late stage of foundation building in the cave! Those above the eighth level of Qi training are not allowed in. These are the rules he set. Not to mention that other sect disciples dare not come here to make trouble, even their elders will not come here easily. After all, it was Yuncang Sect that discovered and occupied it first. As the saying goes, the first to strike is the strongest. Yuncang Sect has placed a late stage of foundation building elder here, so this cave is obviously under the jurisdiction of Yuncang Sect."
Ye Ling nodded and fell into deep thought. No wonder Yun Wan wanted to go back and inform the leader of Fengchi Sect about the situation in the cave, but was stopped by Xiao Rong. It turns out that there is a strong man from the Yuncang Sect who has established his foundation here! It is not worth it for Fengchi Sect to be at odds with Yuncang Sect for a cave whose details are unknown, so Xiaorong would try her best to persuade Yunwan to go into the cave to search for treasures and explore, and not to bother with those thoughts.
At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly felt a strange divine sense sweeping over, as if he had seen through him, which surprised him severely!
Ye Ling turned around suddenly, and saw a white-bearded old man in a green cloth robe, who looked like a young man with white hair and a bit of immortal style, looking at Ye Ling with a smile.
Ye Ling also used his divine sense to sweep over the old man in green clothes without hesitation, and saw that he was only at the fifth level of Qi training, and couldn't help but secretly surprised! Just now, there was a feeling of being seen through, and even the bamboo hat and raincoat that could resist the divine sense below the foundation building were useless. The cultivation of this old man was definitely not as simple as the fifth level of Qi training in front of him!
"Who are you?" Ye Ling asked in a deep voice, not disguising his doubts.
The old man in green did not answer directly, but smiled and took another look at Ye Ling's fisherman's outfit, sighing: "I am just a wandering cultivator, passing by Fengqiao Town by chance, and heard that there is a natural cave opened here, so I came here to join in the fun. Haha, the hat and raincoat on your body are very special! I guess you spent a lot of spirit stones to buy them, right?"
