150: Chapter 150 Fellow Daoist, Please Wait
"I haven't been to Zezhou yet. Perhaps this place holds people with dense Luck. As long as their strength is far inferior to mine and they don't have any major background, I can take the Opportunity to harvest a wave of Luck and replenish the storage inside my fate-seizing jade pendant."
Lin Shen rapidly shuttled through the high altitude. After entering the Zezhou territory, he headed towards the location marked on the sheepskin scroll map.
At this moment, Lin Shen's appearance had already changed, and he even wore a mask that isolated Divine Sense prying. His original white robe had also been replaced with a black robe.
This was also out of caution for Lin Shen.
Once he encountered any Opportunity on the way or was spied on by others, under the condition of hiding his identity, he wouldn't need to have any scruples at all.
Moreover, because his identity was hidden, his blood fiend flying knife and soul-absorbing banner could also be openly taken out and used. Once he encountered someone blind, he could conveniently upgrade them.
...
Another seven days passed.
After seven days of traveling, according to the location marked on the sheepskin scroll, Lin Shen had already arrived at its vicinity.
This was a mountain range, and the surroundings were mostly swampy lands. Above many of the swampy lands floated some emerald-green poisonous mists.
The toxicity of these emerald-green poisonous mists was barely passable. Ordinary Cultivators at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Refining Cultivators simply dared not rashly pry into them.
However, for Lin Shen, a person whose spiritual and physical Dual Cultivation were both at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm, it had no major impact.
Furthermore, Lin Shen himself possessed a lightning-attribute Spiritual Root. Under the tempering of the terrifying lightning power within his body, even if some poisonous mist was occasionally inhaled, it would be obliterated and destroyed by that terrifying lightning power in an instant.
Flying rapidly toward the depths of this mountain range, Lin Shen searched around for any possible entrances into the Land of Leize.
At the same time, he released Elder Hun.
Fifteen years had passed.
The soul body of Elder Hun, who had been constantly raised inside the soul-absorbing banner, was directly more than twice as thick as before, but his entire spirit looked somewhat listless.
"Huhu! The outside air is fresh indeed. I've really had enough. You brat are like an ungrateful wretch—you look for me when there's business, and imprison me inside the soul-absorbing banner when there's nothing. Do you know how I spent these past ten-plus years? Every day I smelled that extremely pungent blood, and those I dealt with were all that bunch of unreasonable wicked souls. If you still didn't let me out, I feel like I'd go crazy soon!"
As soon as he was released, Elder Hun immediately absorbed the outside air. Even though some emerald-green poisonous mists drifted around, to Elder Hun, it was still vastly superior to the pungent blood stench and ghost qi inside the soul-absorbing banner.
"Didn't I just finish my secluded Cultivate? You know me; I'm someone who doesn't want anyone to disturb me during secluded cultivation, so naturally I had to wrong Elder Hun for a period of time!"
Listening to Elder Hun's complaints and thinking that I still need Elder Hun to help me do things next, Lin Shen couldn't help but smile and say, 'Furthermore, after nurturing inside the soul-absorbing banner for these ten-plus years, look at your current physical condition—isn't it much better than before? This is also of immense help for you to recover your past memories. If I were someone like Li Yifan, I'm afraid that after these ten-plus years, recovering even one-tenth of such progress would already be considered burning high incense!'
"Th-This is true!"
Hearing Lin Shen's words, Elder Hun suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.
In these ten-plus years, Lin Shen's soul-absorbing banner was just like raising Gu. Those souls at the Foundation Establishment Realm that he had previously swallowed in the Secret Realm constantly fought and devoured each other over these ten-plus years.
Whenever these Foundation Establishment Realm souls fought and devoured each other, there would be a large amount of residual soul qi for him to absorb. This also caused his overall soul body to grow quite a bit over these ten-plus years, and even his memories recovered somewhat.
However, the only bad thing was that being imprisoned for over ten years straight, apart from watching those soul evil ghosts fight every day, he practically lived like a year dragged on like a day, feeling extremely stifled and aggrieved.
"Look, you feel it is so yourself. When all is said and done, you should still thank me. It's just that I am a kind-hearted person, willing to let those soul qi nourish you. Otherwise, my soul-absorbing banner would definitely be of a higher Rank, and the evil ghosts cultivated out would definitely be even more formidable."
Hearing Elder Hun nod in recognition, Lin Shen's mouth couldn't help curling slightly upward as he rapidly shuttled through the high altitude and spoke.
"Er... Fine. Consider you brat painstaking. No business brings you to the hall—tell me, did you brat removing my imprisonment this time have any place where you need to use me?"
Knowing that he couldn't talk his way past Lin Shen, Elder Hun simply stopped speaking and instead asked him what Lin Shen needed him to do after lifting his imprisonment this time.
Having spent such a long time with the Lin Shen in front of him, he was extremely familiar with his personality.
If there wasn't an important matter he wanted his help with, or a place where he needed to use him, he wouldn't be so kind-hearted as to lift his imprisonment and specially release him to get some fresh air.
"I have a matter that I need your help to reference. I plan to use the treasure-seeking compass to search for some ruins or a Legacy."
"However, my most primary goal right now is wanting to enter an isolated space. This space is named the Land of Leize."
"Within my Chiyun Valley, there was once an Elder near here who accidentally entered this Land of Leize. I wonder if I can directly use the treasure-seeking compass to directly find the entrance to enter this Land of Leize?"
Seeing Elder Hun bring up business, Lin Shen didn't waste words with him either, directly stating the main purpose of his trip to the Zezhou territory this time.
After all, Elder Hun was previously the artifact spirit of the treasure-seeking compass. Compared to himself, he didn't know how much more he understood about the treasure-seeking compass.
Before preparing to use the moon essence to drive the treasure-seeking compass, it was definitely safer to ask him about it first.
Hearing Lin Shen's words, Elder Hun nodded slightly, a trace of nostalgic expression flashing within his eyes.
"According to some memories I've recovered during this period, this so-called Land of Leize, I seem to have heard of it before, but I really can't remember..."
Floating suspended above the soul-absorbing banner, Elder Hun rubbed his chin with a contemplative look, and finally only shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. I really can't remember. However, I can indeed guide this treasure-seeking compass. You only need to use a little bit of moon essence for a year or two, and I should be able to manipulate the treasure-seeking compass to help you locate some treasures that are not particularly precious inside the Land of Leize. That way, you can also find the entrance through them."
Regarding this point, Elder Hun still had a certain degree of confidence.
After all, over these ten-plus years, his soul body had recovered quite a bit, and the abilities he mastered had naturally increased a lot as well.
As long as the entrance of this Land of Leize wasn't too far away, he could borrow the functions of the treasure-seeking compass to locate some internal treasures and then find the entrance.
"That is wonderful! Let's get started quickly then!"
Hearing that Elder Hun could still do this, Lin Shen immediately beamed with joy, and he gained a bit more confidence regarding the trip to the Land of Leize.
Just as he intended to drive the treasure-seeking compass, a voice suddenly sounded from the front-left.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
