94: Soul-Soothing Spirit
Lin Feng knew that Lan Yudao was deliberately feigning sleep. Lin Feng had previously promised Lan Yudao to leave Zhao Quan to her, but he hadn't expected this person to demand Possession as soon as he spoke, so he naturally refused his request. Now, this old monster was actually throwing a tantrum with him.
The Restriction here, due to the passage of too much time, had clearly loosened. For Lin Feng, with his current Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, forcibly breaking it would still be somewhat strenuous.
With Keen Observation and the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to examine, Lin Feng had a plan in mind. He slowly closed his eyes and began to mobilize the Spiritual Qi within his body, preparing to forcibly break these Restrictions. However, just as he was about to act, Lan Yudao's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Daoist Lin, hold on," Lan Yudao said. "These Restrictions are no small matter. If we forcibly break them, it might lead to unpredictable consequences."
Lin Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this. He indeed had no confidence in forcibly breaking these Restrictions; once he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, he stopped his actions and asked, "Then, according to Fellow Daoist Lan, what should we do?"
Lan Yudao pondered for a moment and said, "Although I am currently only in a Soul state, I have traveled extensively over the years and gained some insight. These Restrictions should have been set by that Golden Core powerhouse. To break them, we must find the correct method. Otherwise, it will only be a waste of Qi."
Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this. He knew that what Lan Yudao said was not without reason. So, he asked, "Then, does Fellow Daoist Lan know how to break these Restrictions?"
Lan Yudao said, "Although I don't know the specific method, based on my experience, these Restrictions are often related to the Immortal Cave master's Cultivation Technique or some special item. You might as well first carefully examine this Immortal Cave and see if you can find any clues."
Lin Feng felt that Lan Yudao's words made a lot of sense. So, he began to search carefully around the Immortal Cave. However, after searching for a long time, he didn't find any clues.
Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly noticed a carving on the Immortal Cave's main door. The carving looked very ordinary, but upon closer inspection, he found that it contained some mysterious runes.
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he immediately used his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to study it carefully. After some effort, he finally understood the meaning of those runes. It turned out that these runes were a special control method for activating Restrictions.
Following the runes' instructions, Lin Feng slowly injected Spiritual Qi into specific positions. The Restrictions on the Immortal Cave's main door began to slowly flicker, seemingly responding to Lin Feng's actions.
As the Restrictions flickered, the Immortal Cave's main door suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Lin Feng was delighted at the sight, knowing that he had found the key to breaking the Restrictions.
He continued to inject Spiritual Qi into other positions as indicated by the runes. The light on the Immortal Cave's main door grew brighter and brighter, and finally, with a roar, the Immortal Cave's main door burst open.
Lin Feng and Zhao Quan were both startled at the sight. They hadn't expected this Immortal Cave to be so mysterious, with even its main door hiding such powerful Restrictions.
The two cautiously walked into the Immortal Cave, only to find the interior spacious and bright, with various precious treasures displayed all around. Lin Feng was dazzled and couldn't help but inwardly congratulate himself for being able to find this place.
In front of these displayed treasures, a skeletal figure sat upright. In front of the skeleton was a Jade Box, which caught Lin Feng's attention.
Lin Feng walked up to the skeleton, extended his arm, and opened his five fingers. The Jade Box flew into Lin Feng's hand. After examining it for a while, Lin Feng found no special features and chose to open the Jade Box to look. Inside, a Jade Slip lay quietly.
Lin Feng picked up the Jade Slip and examined it carefully. He saw ancient runes carved on the Jade Slip, emitting a faint Spiritual Qi. This was the ancient Artifact Refining method he had been searching for.
His heart was filled with excitement, knowing that his trip had not been in vain this time. However, just as Lin Feng was excited about obtaining the Jade Slip, a green spectral light shot out from the skeleton in front of the Jade Box, rushing towards Lin Feng's forehead.
Lin Feng was greatly alarmed. There was actually a Soul within this skeleton, wanting to enter Lin Feng's Physical Body and Possess him. At this moment, Lin Feng's body tensed, and the protective shield formed by the Profound Moon Heart-Protecting Mirror only blocked it for a moment before being broken by the opponent.
This brief obstruction gave Lin Feng a chance to breathe. He retreated rapidly, simultaneously circulating the "Iron Bone Soul Forging Art." A faint green protective shield appeared on Lin Feng's forehead, guarding his head. The green shadow touched the green protective shield and was bounced away, pausing slightly. The green light was clearly hesitant.
Immediately after, the green light changed direction and rushed towards Zhao Quan. Zhao Quan, whose Cultivation had been Sealed by Lin Feng, was terrified and panicked. He knew he had no ability to resist and could only watch helplessly as the green light rushed towards him.
However, at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly made a move. He circulated his Spiritual Qi and shot out the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles, which Lin Feng had long since stopped using, towards the green light.
The green shadow was struck by the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles, only letting out a scream, and continued to rush towards Zhao Quan, entering his body in an instant. Lin Feng's Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles failed to kill that green remnant Soul.
At this moment, Zhao Quan's face twisted, and he rolled on the ground, clutching his head. This was the remnant Soul Possessing Zhao Quan, and Lan Yudao, seeing this scene, was furious.
He cursed loudly from within the Seal Jade Talisman. He hadn't expected that such a powerful Soul remnant would still be hidden in this Immortal Cave, and moreover, this remnant seemed to have taken an interest in Zhao Quan, wanting to Possess him.
This was the Physical Body he had painstakingly obtained from Lin Feng, now benefiting the remnant Soul before him. Lin Feng, at this moment, had no time to think much. He had previously placed several Restrictions on Zhao Quan, Sealing his Cultivation. At this moment, Zhao Quan was still fighting with the remnant Soul for control of his body.
Lin Feng's mind stirred, and he immediately activated those Restrictions, attempting to prevent the remnant Soul from Possessing Zhao Quan. However, the remnant Soul seemed extremely powerful; Lin Feng's Restrictions had no effect on it whatsoever.
The remnant Soul raged within Zhao Quan's body. Zhao Quan wailed in pain, his body constantly twisting. Lin Feng grew anxious at the sight. Once the remnant Soul successfully Possessed Zhao Quan, he would face a powerful enemy.
Just as Lin Feng was at a loss, he suddenly thought of Lan Yudao. Perhaps, Lan Yudao would know how to deal with this remnant Soul.
So, he immediately communicated with Lan Yudao. Upon learning the situation, Lan Yudao was silent for a moment, then said, "Daoist Lin, this remnant Soul is extremely powerful. With your current strength, you may find it difficult to deal with. However, you can try to use a certain Magic Treasure from that ancient Artifact Refining method to deal with it."
Lin Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this. He immediately took out the Jade Slip and studied it carefully. After some effort, he finally found a Magic Treasure that could deal with remnant Souls—the Soul Suppressing Bell.
