Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
The place he was at was very quiet. In some ways, it was similar to a closed door cultivation place.
Wang Lin's entire body was submerged in the water. As he cultivated, traces of weak spiritual energy slowly increased in the water. However, there seemed to be a thin layer on Wang Lin's body that prevented the spiritual energy from being absorbed.
Even if a sliver of spiritual energy entered his body, it would be blocked by the thin layer and pushed out.
As a result, as time passed, more and more spiritual energy appeared in the water prison.
Within the Fire Cloud Stronghold, even though it was night time, it was still brightly lit. The sounds of people enjoying themselves could be heard, and occasionally, the screams of women could be heard. At this moment, in one of the more luxurious pavilions in the stronghold, his safety was guaranteed.
The mosquito beast's roar immediately shocked everyone in the village. One by one, they raised their weapons and rushed over from all directions. However, they had only run a few steps when they saw the huge, ferocious creature that was like a small mountain. They all sucked in a breath of cold air and their legs became weak.
Some of the more timid people screamed and were scared out of their wits.
"Monster!!"
The bones in Wang Lin's limbs were still hurting. His eyes became cold and he immediately saw the man with the knife scar. He pointed at the man and the mosquito beast immediately charged out. This time, it didn't use its mouth and instead used its large body to ram into the man with the knife scar.
The man with the knife scar let out a miserable scream and turned into minced meat. Even the house behind him collapsed. The mosquito beast flew into the air and floated above Wang Lin. Its gloomy gaze swept across the area.
The burly man was sitting in the room. In front of him was an open brocade box.
Inside the box was a fist-sized luminous pearl that gave off a gentle light.
The burly man picked up the luminous pearl and carefully looked at it for a while. His eyes revealed a greedy gaze and he muttered to himself, "What a big bead. I can definitely sell it for a good price!"
After a while, he put down the bead and closed the box. Then his gaze fell on another item on the table.
It was a grey bag. The burly man picked it up. The bag was very light, as if it was weightless.
The strangest thing was that this thing didn't have an opening, which surprised the big man.
"What is this?"
The burly man pondered for a moment, and then shouted in a low voice. He used all his strength to pull, but no matter how hard he tried, even if the veins on his face bulged, he still couldn't tear the bag.
At that moment, all of the bandits put down their weapons. Their legs were trembling, and the shock on their faces was extremely intense.
At that moment, a person walked out from the crowd. This person was a scholar. Although his body was trembling, he forced himself to remain calm. After walking out, he bowed deeply and said with a trembling voice, "Celestial, please calm down, calm down, we didn't know your identity before, we really didn't know …"
Wang Lin stared at this person and asked in a deep voice, "What country is this?"
The scholar hurriedly said, "This is the northern part of Pilu State."
"Pilu … This is the northern part of the Rosefinch Continent."
Wang Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Dig open the dungeon here and let the water flow out!
How many days do you need? "
The scholar immediately said with a trembling voice, "Three days … No, one day, one day can be done."
Wang Lin nodded and said, "Let's begin!" He didn't say, "This … Could this be Heavenly Worm Silk?
That's right, it must be, or else why can't I tear it open? Legend has it that Heavenly Worm Silk is most afraid of fire. Hmph, I'll use fire to burn it and see! "The burly man's eyes flashed, and he picked up the candlestick at the side and placed the bag on it.
After a long time, there was no change in the bag. The burly man was startled, he didn't even feel any heat on the bag.
"Huh?
What is this thing? "
The burly man took out a long knife. He had spent a large amount of silver to have a craftsman forge it. It was extremely sharp and could cut a hair. At this moment, the long knife in his hand slashed down and landed on the bag.
After lifting it up, he looked at the bag and immediately revealed a shocked expression. He picked up the bag and looked at it carefully for a long time before laughing out loud, "Treasure, this is a treasure. If I put this thing on my chest, it will definitely save my life at a crucial moment. I didn't expect that ugly brat to have such a treasure on him. Unfortunately, there was only one. If there was more, I could think of a way to link them together and make a piece of clothing. That way, I wouldn't let the mosquito beast take action and would let it protect me."
The scholar heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and shouted, "Everyone, come and get to work. Dig this place open!"
The people of the village all moved, but at this moment, they were all extremely afraid. Their bodies trembled and they couldn't exert any strength, especially the 16 people who had brought back Wang Lin. They were almost scared out of their wits.
Wang Lin closed his eyes and quietly breathed in and out.
The mosquito beast circled in the air and landed next to Wang Lin. Its eyes revealed a fierce light as it swept across the people.
The people of the Fire Cloud Village all began to move. In the end, they used almost all of their strength to dig open the dungeon. A large amount of dirty water flowed out, but what was strange was that at the beginning, the water was dirty, but the more it flowed, the clearer it became. There was even a trace of fragrance coming out.
After a day, the water flow gradually became smaller. The people of the village all stopped and looked at Wang Lin in fear.
Wang Lin ignored them. With the help of the mosquito beast, he did it! "
He carefully put the bag close to his chest. Then his eyes lit up and he thought, "I wonder where that ugly brat got such a treasure. I need to go ask him."
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion. He went straight to the dungeon behind the village. Along the way, when the people saw this person, they immediately showed a flattering expression.
The big man quickly passed by and soon arrived at the dungeon.
There, two people were chatting. When they saw the big man, they immediately stood up and quickly said, "Greetings, boss."
The big man snorted and said, "Where did you throw the ugly brat that you brought back?"
One of the people immediately said, "In the northern room!"
"Open it!" The big man said.
The person immediately ran to the side and stopped in front of an iron net. He lifted the iron net and said with a smile, "Big Dang …"
His body sank into the dungeon from before. At this moment, the White Spoon Dungeon looked like a deep pool.
Sitting inside, Wang Lin closed his eyes and quietly meditated.
The mosquito beast was still guarding the side. Anyone who dared to go forward would pay with their life.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Lin didn't give any orders. The scholar hesitated and took a few steps back. Seeing that the mosquito beast didn't react, he let out a sigh of relief and quickly took a few more steps back.
The other people of the village followed suit. Soon, there was no one left.
Just as the people of the village were about to escape, Wang Lin's voice came from the deep pool.
"No one is allowed to go out!"
The scholar cried bitterly in his heart and quickly responded respectfully.
Just like this, the Fire Cloud Village became unprecedentedly quiet. There was almost no sound at all, as if it was a dead prison.
Before he could finish, his body suddenly trembled, and he fell down. A splash could be heard coming from within the iron net. Then, a young man with countless scars on his face floated out from within the net.
The young man's eyes were filled with coldness and monstrous anger.
The big man was startled. He stared at the person floating out and immediately reacted. His body trembled and he turned to run.
However, he had only taken two steps before an invisible hand grabbed him. He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he turned into a pile of flesh and blood.
The bag in front of his chest immediately flew up and landed in the young man's hand.
This young man was Wang Lin. Under his full strength, the spiritual energy in the water prison had finally broken through a gap, allowing his body to have a sliver of spiritual energy.
However, this strand of spiritual power was too little. After he flew out of the dungeon and killed two people, his spiritual power was almost gone. During this period of time, the travelers and escort companies in the vicinity were all astonished. The Eighteen Heroes of Flaming Cloud, who used to run amok in this area, had actually disappeared for two months in a row.
On this day, Wang Lin opened his eyes in the deep pool. His physical injuries had completely recovered, but his tea intent and seal hadn't weakened at all.
"In two months, I've only recovered to around the second level of Qi Condensation. The seal and intent are too overbearing. I need to find a place with more spiritual energy. It's a pity that my origin soul has collapsed and it's hard for it to stay in my body. I can't take out the heaven defying bead. Otherwise, with the heaven defying bead's spiritual energy, I would be able to recover a lot.
"However, I have top quality spirit stones, so I won't be lacking spiritual energy for a while. The most important thing now is to recover my origin soul and then take out the bead.
"However, this place isn't a spirit vein, but there is spiritual energy in the water. It's a bit strange!"
Wang Lin pondered for a bit. His body moved and he poured the remaining spiritual energy into his bag of holding.
"Mosquito beast!"
Suddenly, the bag of holding shined with a green light and a black light flew out. With a bang, it turned into a mosquito beast the size of a small mountain.
The eyes of one of the minions on the side were filled with terror. His body trembled and the smell of urine wafted out. His pants immediately became wet and he fainted from fright.
After the mosquito beast appeared, it let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire village. All the other sounds disappeared, leaving behind only the angry roar of the mosquito beast.
It was connected to Wang Lin, so when it saw Wang Lin's weak appearance, it became angry. Without waiting for Wang Lin's order, it pointed at the minions on the ground. Their bodies trembled and in the blink of an eye, they turned into bones.
After releasing the mosquito beast, Wang Lin let out a sigh of relief. He had used up all the spiritual energy in his body, but as long as the mosquito beast was beside him, he would sink deeper. Before, when he was cultivating, he was only floating and not completely sinking.
Now that his cultivation had recovered, he decided to find out what was going on. However, Wang Lin knew that his cultivation was too weak. He decided that if there was any danger, he would immediately summon the mosquito beast.
Soon, he sank to the bottom of the pool. The water was clear and he could see the bottom of the pool. Although the water was clear, the ground was dark and filled with a thick layer of mud.
