Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Chapter 174 Human Skeleton

Ling Wanran took out a pill from her bag and fed it to Si Qianning. She looked up and saw that the monster had escaped. She frowned and said:

"Since the monster has escaped, let's go into the water and get the coffin out."

As long as they destroy the last foothold, they can leave.

"He actually ran away!"

Si Qianning wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and spoke in an unpleasant tone.

This was her first time to take real action since entering the secret realm.

As he thought about it, a dark color flashed across Si Qianning's eyes. He coughed lightly, and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

"The evil spirit has invaded your body. How do you feel now?"

Ling Wanran asked when she saw Si Qianning’s pale face.

"I felt a little uncomfortable in my chest just now, but I feel much better now. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ling and Fellow Daoist Luo." Si Qianning said, holding her chest and walking towards Bai Yue.

"Brother, why didn't you keep him just now? If you had taken action, you would have been able to keep him."

There are so many people here, and with their strength, they have a great chance of winning if they work together.

"Junior sister, you are being reckless." Bai Yue frowned and looked at Si Qianning disapprovingly:

"You shouldn't have been so aggressive just now. That monster can use evil spirits, and we can't use spiritual power, so we are already at a disadvantage. You are so aggressive. If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely lose."

Bai Yue was helpless. His junior sister was good in every other aspect except that she lost her rationality when it came to serious matters.

My uncle was also troubled by this, but he was never able to correct it.

"Brother, I understand. I will definitely not be so impulsive next time."

Although he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Bai Yue just twitched his mouth.

These words sounded very familiar to him.

In the past, whenever Junior Sister Si made mistakes and was punished, she would say this and admit her mistakes very sincerely, but then she would continue to make the same mistakes as before.

The main thing is to correct your mistakes as soon as you realize them, and do it again next time.

"Okay, next, you need to be calm. If you have anything to say, discuss it with me before taking any action."

Bai Yue coughed lightly and said, turning his face away so as not to look at Si Qianning's miserable appearance.

Si Qianning lowered his head and said nothing.

Several people not far away watched the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, looked at each other, and said nothing more.

The monster has already escaped, so the underwater coffin is naturally much easier to deal with. However, the most critical issue now is who will go into the water to get the coffin down.

"Don't any of you have water-repellent beads?" The cultivator of the Gu Clan said unhappily:

"You Dongyue monks love to refine some strange magical instruments. Is there no instrument that can avoid water?"

"Yes, our Southern Border monks just went into the water, and now it's your turn, the Eastern Yue monks."

"Tuda, you can't do this." Ying Chan said calmly. They were now cooperating, and it was obviously inappropriate for a family member to say such things.

"I……"

Tuda was scolded by his own saint, his face turned red, and he finally shut up.

"This fellow Taoist is right. Let's let the monks from the Imperial Gate go into the water." Su Jue said with a smile, closed his folding fan, and took something out of his storage bag.

"This is the black armor made by my elder. When worn, it is impervious to water and fire. It was originally used to prevent special situations, but now is the time to use it."

As Bai Yue spoke, he held the black bead in his hand and threw it into the air. The black bead cracked into two halves, and white transparent liquid flowed out and wrapped Su Jue.

When Luo Shan looked at the strange liquid, the word jelly came to his mind first.

This thing is too weird.

Ling Wanran also had a horrified expression, she turned around and saw Luo San's eyes twitching, and explained.

"Yumen is the most special sect among the three major sects in Dongyue. Most of the people in Wuji Sect are practicing magic, and most of the people in Wanjian Sect are practicing swords. Only Yumen is a sect that focuses on refining weapons."

"There are many sects in Dongyue that focus on alchemy, formations, and talismans, but Yumen is on par with Wanjian Sect and Wuji Sect. The main reason is that they have produced two ninth-grade peak weapon refiners."

A ninth-grade top weapon refiner can forge a pseudo-immortal weapon.

"Moreover, the cultivators of Yumen are different from most cultivators of Dongyue. Most cultivators only have one life-defining magic weapon, but the cultivators of Yumen can use two life-defining magic weapons when they are at the foundation-building stage. They can use four life-defining magic weapons for the golden elixir stage, six life-defining magic weapons for the primordial infant stage, and nine life-defining magic weapons for the spirit-transforming stage."

Ling Wanran said this, looking at Su Jue enviously.

The Imperial Gate monks were much more aggressive in their fighting skills than the sword and magic monks. When they started fighting, they would simply put on more than a dozen defensive magic weapons and then throw out offensive magic weapons all at once.

Generally speaking, if one wants to get rich by robbing, Yumen is the best candidate, but at the same time, he is also the most troublesome.

After all, you don’t know how many defensive magic weapons the other party has. Maybe before you can break his defensive barrier, he will smash you to death with the magic weapons.

"So that's how it is." Luo Shan understood, and labeled the monks from the Imperial Gate as heroic in his mind.

It seems that I need to make more friends with the monks in the Imperial Gate.

Su Jue was wrapped in a layer of jelly and went directly into the water.

The situation in the water was exactly the same as Luo San had described. Su Jue went down to the bottom of the water and saw the bronze coffin. After thinking for a while, he took out a soft silk thread from his storage bag, tied up the bronze coffin, and began to pull it up.

The soft silk stretched straight, and Su Jue tried hard but failed to pull it.

There is no choice but to go up alone.

When everyone saw Su Jue coming up and there was no one behind him, they all walked over to ask what was going on.

"The coffin is very heavy. I can't pull it up by myself." Su Jue said, looking at everyone.

"Do you have a long enough rope? I'll go down into the water and tie up the coffin, and you guys pull it up together."

"Yes." Gu Qingcheng heard this and took out a roll of transparent silk thread from her bag:

"This is ice silk."

"Ice silk? It takes the Ice King Gu ten years to produce only one inch of ice silk?"

Su Jue was shocked. This thing was extremely precious. Where did Gu Qingcheng find it? There was actually another volume.

Su Jue was a little envious.

"Exactly."

Gu Qingcheng nodded.

After getting a positive answer, Su Jue took the thing, looked at Gu Qingcheng with envy, and then went into the water.

Soon, Su Jue finished it. The people around him pulled the ice silk, and Su Jue under the water also pulled the soft silk with force.

The bronze coffin slowly floated up and soon emerged from the water.

They worked together to get the bronze coffin out. Everyone gathered around and began to look at the bronze coffin.

"This coffin is different from the ones we have seen before." Si Qianning said.

"Just open it and you'll know." Luo San took a few steps back.

Everyone thought that the coffin had to be opened anyway, so they started to open it.

"Hey, what's in this coffin is not the demon corpse." The bronze coffin was opened, and the scene inside stunned everyone.

"What is this?"

Ling Wanran took a step closer and saw a skeleton placed in the coffin. She was surprised and said:

"These are the skeletons of our human cultivators, but why are they in the demon corpse coffin?"

Ling Wanran was puzzled. After all, the coffins they had encountered before were filled with demon corpses. Now a human skeleton suddenly appeared. No matter how they looked at it, the attack seemed wrong.

"It's the skeleton of our sect's ancestor who entered the Land of Absolute Spirits." Bai Yue's expression turned cold, and he saw a jade token of the Wanjian Sect next to the skeleton.

The jade token's aura was dim and it had lost its spirituality.
