Chapter 227 Mysterious Sisters
On a hillside near Youfeng Mountain, a young man in green brocade stood in the wind.
The young man had a face like a silver plate, delicate features, and a refined temperament, which could be described as a handsome man.
He had one hand behind his back, and held an unfolded white folding fan in the other hand. This treasure fan was as white as snow and as warm as jade.
As his arm holding the treasure fan gently shook, a ray of emerald green spiritual light flashed from time to time on the treasure fan, and it was obvious that this fan was not an ordinary thing.
While fanning the treasure fan in his hand, the young man looked up at the Youfeng Mountain in front of him, which was towering into the clouds and rendered in ink. His brows were slightly frowned, as if thinking about something. This young man was Zhuge Yu, a disciple of the Tiangui Sect who participated in this evil ghost trial.
The treasure fan in Zhuge Yu's hand was called "Green Butterfly", which was a secret magic weapon passed down by the Zhuge family. Because of Zhuge Yu's genius performance in the family, this treasure fan "Green Butterfly" was given to Zhuge Yu by the ancestor of the Zhuge family.
Zhuge Yu participated in this evil ghost trial, carrying the expectations of the entire Zhuge family.
In order to help Zhuge Yu participate in this evil ghost trial, the elders of the Zhuge family specially took out a "green wood glow pill" for Zhuge Yu to take with him.
"Green wood glow pill" is a magic weapon of the wood element, a kind of artificially refined "fake pill". Activating this pill can enable the practitioner of Peiyuan realm to perform skills comparable to those of the real pill realm, such as pill killing.
In the first stage of the evil ghost arena competition, Zhuge Yu once used this pill.
The materials for refining this pill are extremely precious, and the probability of pill success is also very low, so it is extremely precious. Moreover, only the genius of cultivation who is born with wood attribute spirit veins can control this pill. Zhuge Yu is one of the few candidates who can control this pill.
Zhuge Yu's Zhuge family has always been famous for its cultivation of spiritual herbs and precious flowers. There are very few geniuses who are good at cultivation. Zhuge Yu not only has seven spiritual veins of wood attribute, but also has a natural wood spirit body.
His seven spiritual veins of wood attribute can only be regarded as superior qualifications, but compared with the disciples of the three major families who have eight or nine spiritual veins, it is a far cry.
But Zhuge Yu's natural wood spirit body is very rare. The wood spirit body is a special wood attribute cultivation physique. It can naturally communicate with all things of the wood element. It is more effective to practice wood attribute skills with half the effort, and the absorption of elixirs is much more effective than ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhuge Yu can be called a genius, and has become an elite disciple that the Zhuge family has focused on cultivating in recent years. He is highly expected by the ancestors and elders of the Zhuge family.
The reason why Zhuge Yu is unwilling to team up with others to participate in the evil ghost trial is also because he has the burden of the Zhuge family genius in his heart. He wants to prove that he is not worse than the genius disciples of the three major families.
Zhuge Yu was quite confident in his own strength. He had rejected Xu Yang's invitation to form a team before, and even did not form a team with other trial disciples. He went deep into the evil ghost road alone, and gradually searched the vicinity of Youfeng Mountain.
Along the way, Zhuge Yu killed several ghost beasts alone, but did not find a high-level ghost beast, nor did he get a high-level demon crystal, that is, the Nine Ghost Crystal.
"Just now, I used a secret method to sense the breath of ghost beasts from a distance, showing that there were many high-level ghost beasts in the direction of the black mountain opposite. Before, I searched many places but did not find high-level ghost beasts. I am afraid that the high black mountain opposite is the nest of high-level ghost beasts. If I continue to go deeper alone, if I encounter the siege of high-level ghost beasts, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with it?"
Zhuge Yu was thinking in his heart and hesitated.
As a genius of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Yu is two years younger than Xu Yang. He is a young genius and thinks highly of himself, but he is definitely not a reckless person.
"Let's cast a spell to test it out before making any plans." Zhuge Yu said to himself.
He raised his wrist and threw the white treasure fan in his hand into the air in front of him.
The treasure fan slowly rotated, hovering in the air like a white butterfly with its wings spread, which was very beautiful.
He pinched his fingers with one hand, and then a spell was cast on the treasure fan opposite.
The originally snow-white treasure fan suddenly became emerald green and crystal clear. Then, green light threads continued to flow out from the open fan of the treasure fan, like green raindrops falling on the ground under his feet.
With the infusion of the treasure fan's magic power, circles of green spiritual patterns splashed on the ground, and the spiritual patterns continued to spread around, like ripples in a mirror lake, getting farther and farther.
After a while, Zhuge Yu pointed his right hand at his forehead in the shape of a sword, activating the Zhuge family's secret perception method.
A green light flashed at his forehead, revealing a green vertical line about an inch long. As the obscure spell was chanted, the green vertical line in the center of the forehead gradually opened, revealing a strange emerald-like eye. Looking closely, the eye was not a flesh and blood entity, but a condensation of spiritual power.
As the treasure fan "Green Butterfly" rotating in the air opposite continued to inject green light into the ground under his feet, the distance covered by the green spiritual pattern it emitted even reached a radius of ten miles.
And the information on the grass and trees within this radius of ten miles was collected by Zhuge Yu in the "eyes" at the center of his eyebrows, "Within two hours, there were 25 low-level ghost beasts passing by, and two high-level ghost beasts passing by, heading towards the black mountains...".
At this moment, Zhuge Yu used the eyes transformed by "Green Field Spirit Trace" to see a situation that surprised him.
"Hmm? Two people actually entered my search range. They don't look like ghost beasts, but more like ordinary cultivators, but they are not trial disciples from the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and they are two female cultivators. Could it be that there are disciples from other sects here? Or are there some native cultivators living here?"
Seeing this, Zhuge Yu hurriedly made a complex hand seal with both hands, a green light flashed on his forehead, and the strange green eyes disappeared.
Stop urging the treasure fan "Green Butterfly" on the opposite side, and the green light threads on it suddenly stopped. With a wave of his hand, he took back the treasure fan "Green Butterfly" that turned back to snow-white.
Zhuge Yu looked at the direction where he had just discovered the two unknown female cultivators and took a breath of cold air, with a look of hesitation on his face.
Because just now the two female cultivators seemed to have noticed his existence and were looking in the direction where Zhuge Yu was. And Zhuge Yu clearly felt that the cultivation of the other two was higher than his, at least above the True Dan realm.
"If you meet a stranger in this evil ghost road, it is likely that he is an enemy. There is no guarantee of victory against two cultivators of the True Dan realm. Should I quickly send this message back to the Baitang master who presided over this evil ghost road trial? Or should I hide and wait for an opportunity to find out the details of the other party first?"
Just when Zhuge Yu was hesitating, the ground under his feet suddenly shook violently, and a domineering Yuanli was clearly transmitted from his feet.
"Oh no, they found my location so quickly."
...
At the foot of Youfeng Mountain.
Two young women who looked somewhat similar stood together.
They both wore clothes made of leopard-print animal skins. Although the craftsmanship of the tailoring was not as exquisite as the clothes worn by the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it was not sloppy. The two had long black hair tied neatly behind their heads like ponytails, neat and tidy.
They looked young, and their big eyes and round faces revealed the tenderness and cuteness of girls. But the skin on their exposed faces and arms was a healthy bronze color, shining with a healthy luster under the black sun, revealing the beauty of primitive wildness.
One of them wore a pair of snow-white wolf tooth earrings on the left and right earlobes. The other wore a string of pearl-like animal bone necklaces around her neck. Both of them wore a simple brass bell around their waists.
It seemed that they were not opposed to the light released by the black sun in the sky, and even enjoyed the sunbathing brought by the black sun. They chatted with each other on the hillside without shade, and smiled knowingly from time to time.
"Third sister, the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect have entered here for trials again. Should we go and see?" asked the girl wearing wolf tooth earrings.
"Fourth sister, I think you are not concerned about the trials of the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but the young and handsome guys in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, right?" The fourth sister wearing an animal bone necklace asked back, raising her eyes and showing a teasing look on her face.
"Please don't say the truth directly. The book says that women should be reserved. There is no other man in Youfeng Mountain except father. Oh, and there is my little brother." The third sister threw a coquettish look at the fourth sister and answered cheerfully.
"Hahaha." After hearing this, the fourth sister laughed out loud, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, exuding a sunny and healthy beauty.
"Why are you laughing foolishly?"
"I'm laughing at how you said the word reserved. Did you read too much in the past two days? Father has long said that men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. I am seventeen years old and you are eighteen years old. We are both old girls, and there are no other men in Youfeng Mountain. Of course, we have to go out and catch men to be husbands. I heard that the male disciples of Tiangui Sect are not only handsome, but also first-class in skills."
"Hahaha."
The two of them talked about the whispers between girls, and laughed at each other.
"Ding-dang-dang!"
At this moment, the brass bells on the waists of the two people shook at the same time, making a clear and pleasant sound.
When they heard the sound of the bell, their laughter stopped abruptly.
"The bell finally rang. This is the first time it has rang since my father gave me this protective copper bell. It seems that someone outside is using the skills to explore us here." The third sister said.
After hearing this, the fourth sister showed a strange smile at the corner of her mouth, and then said: "I think it is probably a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but I don't know if it is a man or a woman. If it is a woman, we will kill her. If it is a man? Hehe." As she spoke, she smiled triumphantly.
"Of course, snatch it back." The third sister answered first.
Sister, wait a moment, I will cast a spell to track the location of the person just now.
As she said, the fourth sister bent down, opened her hand into a palm, pressed it hard on the ground, and instantly injected an unparalleled spiritual power into the ground under her feet.
With a "hum".
The ground under her feet trembled.
After a while, the fourth sister stood up with a smug expression on her face. She pointed in a direction and said loudly, "I found it. The person who cast the spell just now should be ten miles to the south."
"Is it a man or a woman? Your method is too rough. Be careful not to scare him away." The third sister looked in the direction of the fourth sister's finger and said with a somewhat complaining tone.
"It should be a man. He can't run away." As she said that, the fourth sister showed a smug smile on her face, and her figure flashed and disappeared, leaving only a shadow in the original place.
"Haha. My sister, when it comes to snatching men, she is really not slow." The third sister said, and her figure turned into a shadow and chased away.
…..
Ten miles away.
Zhuge Yu found that his whereabouts had been discovered by the other party. He identified the direction, and with a flash of green light under his feet, he used the grass-walking body movement to run back along the way he came, like a panicked hare.
