Chapter 579: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots Recruiting Disciples and Corpses

Chapter 579: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots Recruiting Disciples and Corpses

A huge dark cloud with a human face appeared in the sky above the mulberry garden, making everyone in the garden look terrified.

"Is this the energy of a Taoist master?! A powerful elixir master!"

"He was able to break through my Sangdao formation so easily. This guy has really reached the Dancheng realm... I wonder what level of great elixir he has formed?"

Everyone in the Sang family was muttering to themselves, their voices and faces trembling.

Although they had anticipated that this scene might happen, they were still in disbelief when a powerful Dancheng-level expert really appeared in front of them. They did not expect that the Sang family had really offended a Taoist master.

Yu Lie looked at the huge face in the mulberry garden. His expression was also gloomy. He immediately withdrew his thoughts from the surroundings and no longer thought about the possible benefits that might exist under the mulberry garden.

After all, if he couldn't solve the problem of the Earth Puppet Master, no matter how great the benefits of the underground mulberry garden were, it would have nothing to do with him. If he could solve the problem, he could just dig three feet underground to search for it in the garden afterwards.

Yu Lie bowed to the face in the sky and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Taoist priest. Your magical power has greatly increased since you came out of retreat. I have nothing to offer you. I am sorry for the neglect."

Master Dikui ignored Yu Lie. He scanned Sang Island with his powerful spiritual sense, wanting to penetrate his spiritual sense directly into the mulberry garden.

But even though he had completed the elixir, his consciousness still could not penetrate the formation, so he could only snort coldly and reply:

"You youngsters, don't think that this formation can protect you! I want to see if you can still laugh next time."

Boom!

Dark clouds rolled over the top of the mulberry garden, and giant pythons condensed from the clouds suddenly jumped out from the clouds and attacked the mulberry garden from all directions.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone in the Sang family, the Sang Garden formation surged up, and indeed, it blocked those terrifying giant cloud pythons from the outside world. And with the flash of lightning, wisps of electric light counterattacked and tried to strangle the Master Dikui.

But before they could cheer up, another cold laugh suddenly rang out in the mulberry garden:

"Good good!"

The voice was still from the Earth Puppet Master: "I didn't expect that your Sang family would resolve the disaster on the island without my help. In this case, the spiritual roots on this island are also protected!"

This is because Master Dikui sensed the situation in the Mulberry Garden from the strength of the Mulberry Garden formation, and then concluded that the desertification disaster on Mulberry Island had been resolved.

These words immediately frightened the head of the Sang family and others:

"Damn it! This guy clearly knows that my Sang family's formation is stable, the disaster has been eliminated, and the strength has been restored, so why is he not anxious but happy... And how did he know that there are 'spiritual roots' on my Sang family island!?"

Yu Lie was listening to the cold laughter of the local leader, and his heart was moved.

The other party is a person in the Jindan stage and has long passed the stage of building the foundation. No matter how powerful his spiritual roots are, he will not be taken seriously by the other party.

"Unless the spiritual roots the other party is talking about are not referring to the 'spiritual roots' medicinal materials used by Taoists to build their foundation... but are referring to the precious spiritual plants in the world!" Yu Lie thought to himself.

His gaze once again fell on the tall and strange Lei Sang in the mulberry garden.

Any plant that contains spiritual energy can be named "spiritual plant", but among spiritual plants, there is a more mysterious existence.

These kinds of spiritual plants either have amazing medicinal effects, are very old, or have extraordinary spirituality. They are not comparable to ordinary spiritual plants. If they are planted in caves, they will often nourish the local energy, regulate yin and yang, or avoid misfortune and bring good luck, allowing Taoists to gain great benefits.

This kind of spiritual plant is named "spiritual root". To Taoists, its preciousness and value are directly equivalent to "fire".

In some ways, it is often more difficult to obtain spiritual roots than fire.

Because fire is just a kind of thing, ordinary Taoists only need one, and only a very few people can condense and fuse different kinds of fire like Yu Lie.

As for spiritual roots, no matter whether it is a Taoist or a sect, as long as they can be cultivated, they will become a resource and an output. Regardless of their quality, the more and more types they have, the better.

Therefore, most of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth in the world are collected by Taoist masters or large Taoist sects, and are basically out of reach for Taoists.

In an instant, Yu Lie's eyes lit up.

He originally just wanted to transplant a few Lei Sang trees from the Sang family into Zifu to improve the environment of Zifu. If it was impossible, he would just leave.

After all, although the Leisang spiritual plant is good, its value is just that, and it is not worth Yu Lie taking too much risk.

But if the Lei Sang in the Sang family's possession is of spiritual root level, then it would be worth taking the risk to obtain it.

Just as Yu Lie was daydreaming, the head of the Sang family hesitated for a moment and shouted:

"Master Dikui, you are joking. Where can we get spiritual roots on this island? However, if you are unwilling to retreat today, this island has its own powerful thunder array. Let you see it."

The man shouted, "Form a formation!"

Whoosh, whoosh! More than a dozen Sang family Taoist priests were marching around in the air, their sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Ink-colored lines appeared on their faces, and they bit out a mouthful of blood from the tip of their tongues. Their auras quickly connected with each other, and a trace of silver-white aura of lightning and fire descended upon their bodies, making their skin electrify, as if they were gods.

The head of the Nasang family even revealed his Yin God, a giant in silver armor, holding a huge hammer in his hand, and roared:

"Thunder Lord, help me!"

Thunderbolt appeared, and the silver-armored giant hammered the huge human face outside the mulberry garden to death.

But after it leaped away, the clouds and mist were easily dispersed by it, and it hit nothing.

The cold laughter continued to ring out in the mulberry garden:

"Foolish! Do you really think I will show up in person to fight with you?"

Roar!

Inhuman roars came out from the surrounding fog. These were zombies that were either black or red in color, with different auras.

There are hundreds and thousands of them, and the lowest ones are all upper seventh rank.

The zombies' Qi are also connected to each other, showing that they are not a scattered group of corpses, but a Taoist army.

Behind this zombie Taoist soldier, there was a skinny figure, riding on an open golden nanmu spiritual wood coffin, slowly appearing.

This beast was lying in the coffin, his face looked like a consumptive, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were sunken, as if his eyeballs were missing.

As soon as he appeared, he closed his eyes, stretched out his purple-red nails, and pointed towards the mulberry garden:

"My dears, listen to my orders. Destroy this garden, and leave no one alive. Then feast on blood and food to your heart's content!"

Roar! !

Violent roars came from all around the mulberry garden, mixed with shrill screams.

Because there were more zombies walking towards the mulberry garden from all directions, holding people from the Sang family in their hands and gnawing and sucking them as food.

This scene made the Sang family Taoist priests in the garden furious:

"You old thief! My Sang family will fight you till death."

As their roars rang out, magical weapons flew out one after another. The silver-armored giant who had just missed his target also pounced down and hammered towards the real body of the Earth Puppet Master.

But with a click, thick corpse energy protected Master Dikui's head and easily blocked the attack of the silver-armored giant.

A sarcastic laugh came from the mouth of the puppet master.

"A bunch of low-class families. I have my own Taoist soldiers to protect me. As long as the Taoist soldiers are not destroyed, you will never be able to get within ten feet of me."

Angry roars continued to come out from the mouth of the silver-armored giant.

The giant was dancing wildly, with many magical weapons whizzing around his body, helping him to deal with the Earth Leader.

Everyone in the Sang family tried to cut down the corpse qi or kill the zombies, but to little avail. They were unable to stop Master Dikui from striding towards the Mulberry Garden.

As a last resort, the head of the Sang family, with red eyes, said in a low voice in the mulberry garden:

"Master Yu, please stop looking and help our Sang family!"

It is said that from the moment Master Dikui showed up, Yu Lie didn't say a word except for the first sentence.

Because he found that the local leader didn't pay any attention to him at all. He didn't seem to recognize that Yu Lie was the culprit who killed his disciples, and thought he was just a junior of the Sang family.

Therefore, Yu Lie was willing to watch from the sidelines to see the true strength of Master Dikui.

Hearing the cry for help and seeing that the Sang family couldn't even break through the opponent's Taoist soldiers, Yu Lie was too lazy to continue watching.

He chuckled, flicked his sleeves, and crows flew out one after another.

A pill furnace that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and crying but not crying, also flew to the front of the formation, spewing out ghostly air from it.

Xiao!

After the Taoist soldiers form a formation, their Qi is difficult to break through, but if another Taoist soldier appears, the Qi of the two will restrain and offset each other, and the Taoist who is protected behind the Taoist soldiers can be exposed.

Originally, Yu Lie's three-eyed dragon crow Taoist soldiers, even with the blessing of the ghost energy of the ghost furnace, were unable to compete with the zombie Taoist soldiers of Master Dikui.

Fortunately, the head of the Sang family saw this and immediately activated the Sang Garden's formation, causing lightning and thunder all around, and silver snakes dancing wildly, suppressing the densely packed zombies.

The two sides joined forces and successfully suppressed each other's corpse qi.

This exposed the true identity of Master Dikui, and the head of the Sang family immediately mobilized the Yin God, drawing the thunder to pounce on him and kill him.

Cackling!

But at this moment, a skinny arm stretched out from the coffin, clung to the edge of the coffin, and a light gray energy surged in its hand.

With a slight wave of his hand, he knocked away the silver-armored giant who was rushing towards him with terrifying momentum.

The Earth Puppet Master suddenly opened his eyes, and he sat up from the coffin, laughing softly:

“Hehehe! Chief Sang, have you forgotten that I have already completed my elixir? Even without the protection of the Taoist soldiers, you can’t get close to me.”

The beast flashed and appeared in front of Sang Yuan. The true energy in his body surged, pressing on Sang Yuan's formation, trying to squeeze in.

The head of the Sang family and others were horrified and hurriedly took back all their Yin spirits and magic weapons to strengthen the formation to prevent it from being broken through by the Earth Puppet Master.

However, what they never expected was that the Leisang formation, which could deal with or even kill the Taoist Dancheng, did not even last a breath in front of the Dikui Master before it was penetrated by the opponent.

The other party stepped into the formation, raised his head, looked at everyone with scarlet eyes, and said with a sinister smile:

"The formation is indeed a good one. If it weren't for the guidance of your Sang family, I would have been blocked outside."

Everyone in the Sang family immediately thought of something:

"Damn it! It must be Sang Jiaxing's grandfather and grandson who leaked the key to our clan's formation!"

Among them, the head of the Sang family was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The main reason why he dared to wait for Master Dikui to come this time was because of the Mulberry Garden Thunder Array passed down from his ancestors.

As a result, this powerful thunder formation, before it could be used to its full potential, was only able to exclude the opponent's zombie Taoist soldiers, and was then seized by the Earth Puppet Master.

Without the obstruction of the formation, facing a Taoist master who has achieved the alchemy level directly, even if the opponent's zombie Taoist soldiers turned against them on the spot, the Sang family might not be able to survive!

Fortunately, after Master Dikui glanced coldly at the Sang family members, he did not rush to attack them. Instead, he rolled his eyes and looked at Yu Lie next to him.

The fierce smile on this beast's face became even more fierce, but his tone was not as harsh as when he called for war and killing the Sang family. Instead, he said:

"Boy, you are the one who killed two of my disciples one after another?"

Yu Lie frowned as he looked at the Master of Earth Puppetry who walked into the mulberry garden. He did not avoid the question. He nodded while recalling Crow Eight and Ghost Furnace outside.

The Earth Puppet Master laughed loudly:

"Very good, since you have killed two of my disciples, I will not ask for much, and you can compensate me by yourself, become my disciple, and serve as my servant.

If you are willing, I will forgive all the grudges, and from now on, this Sang Island will be under your command, which will be regarded as my gift to you as a disciple."

These words echoed in the mulberry garden, leaving the frightened Sang family members dumbfounded for a moment.

They never thought that the Master Dikui, who had previously shouted for the killing of Yu Lie, had a 180-degree turn in his attitude when he met Yu Lie today. He even wanted to accept Yu Lie as a disciple and take advantage of their Sang family.

All eyes were instantly cast towards Yu Lie, filled with surprise and doubt.

After hearing this, Yu Lie was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Master Dikui would play this trick.

But the next moment, the smile on his face turned into a sneer, and he said:

"Old man, do you want me to be your disciple, or do you want me to be your corpse slave?"

Now it was the turn of the Earth Puppet Master to be slightly stunned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Lie. The smile on his face became even wider, and the ferocious look on his face reappeared.

This beast said: "Master has something to do, and I will do the hard work. What is the difference between a disciple and a corpse slave?

"Come here, you evil disciple!"

With a whoosh, Master Dikui raised his hand and a wisp of Dan Qi split into thousands of strands, grabbing towards Yu Lie.

It turned out that after Yu Lie killed the two disciples of this beast in a row, he vaguely sensed some clues from the two corpses, so he tricked the other party just now.

The result was as he expected. The disciple of Master Dikui was actually the other party's corpse slave. He served as a servant when alive and a zombie after death.

This beast is now eyeing Yu Lie's body and wants to take it for his own use and refine it into a new zombie after the other party has formed a pill.

After all, forming a pill is a watershed. A Taoist weapon can be used as a support before forming a pill, but after forming a pill, it is of little use and can only be consumed.

Master Dikui plans to try a different approach in the future and train some elite companion zombies.

As soon as he saw Yu Lie today, he knew that Yu Lie had excellent bones and was a good material for being a zombie, so he must not miss it.
