    Chapter Index

    Gushan Forest is very large, and it took about a week for them to search the outer circle. When they entered the middle circle, the number of low-level monsters they encountered was much less, but there were more spiritual grasses and spiritual plants. Many people came with the task of collecting herbs, so they began to collect herbs and fight at the same time.

    After the monsters become powerful, they rarely appear in groups, usually three to five, or a single monster. Relatively speaking, it is more suitable for training and for them to collect some monster materials, which delays some time.

    Another half month later, they had collected the middle circle and started to enter the inner circle. They had to be careful about the monsters in the inner circle. One or two of the monsters here would have reached the Core Formation stage. The monsters were strong. The beasts in the Core Formation stage could crush immortal cultivators at the same level. If they were not careful, there would be casualties in the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages. This was also the reason why they needed to lead the team at the Nascent Soul stage.

    Ran Zaizai said cautiously: “Change the formation. Those with high cultivation will stand in the outer circle, and the others will try to be in the inner circle!”

    She adjusted in time. Not long after entering the inner circle, they encountered a monster. This monster can make people fall into illusions due to its special ability. However, because of the few people on the periphery, the monster did not find a flaw in its attack.

    In the spirit of experience, Ran Zaizai used the sound of the piano to awaken their sanity at the end and injured the phantom beast. Although two female nuns were still injured due to the suffering they had experienced before, they hurt themselves and it was not serious.

    After Xu Changhuan comforted the two female cultivators, he asked them to rest for a while, then turned to Ran and said again: “Sister Ran, this monster is of normal mind, and the illusion it creates is very detailed!”

    “Well, I discovered it too, and it’s probably related to its strong mental power!” Ran nodded again. When she first entered the illusion, she discovered that the monster’s eyes did not appear red, so she suspected that it was related to its ability to create illusions. Therefore, she did not kill it directly, but kept her hand.

    Ran Zai observed it carefully again, and then put the body of the monster into the spirit beast bag.

    After that, after countless rounds of fighting, they finally collected the inner circle and reached the core area.

    Arriving at the core area, Ran Zaizai led a few people to quickly search the surrounding areas until they discovered the miasma forest.

    The forest is filled with miasma, and it is possible to pass through it only with the miasma-avoiding pill and the spiritual barrier. But now, after they have walked two-thirds, they feel an aura invading. This aura can swallow a small amount of spiritual energy, and it also makes people feel uncomfortable, like a sinister aura. Ran Zai thought again, this should be the problem of the monster riot.

    Fortunately, she’s upgraded purification technique was very effective against this evil aura, and she signaled to everyone: “Everyone come closer to me, and I will set up a purification barrier!”

    She made a hand seal, and white light emerged from her hands. With a wave of her hand, it turned into a white circle and enveloped them. The various auras that had made them uncomfortable before disappeared from their bodies and were blocked from the barrier.

    Purification barrier, the female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect directed her admiring eyes at Ran Zaizai.

    Xu Changhuan’s eyes were bright and he said carelessly: “Senior Sister Ran, this must be the secret inheritance of Lord Minghua, it’s so powerful!”

    Another pretty female cultivator in the alchemy stage nodded gratefully: “Well, I feel that the corrosive aura on my body disappeared immediately!”

    The two female cultivators in the foundation building stage who were on their first mission next to them couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Wow, Senior Sister Ran is so awesome!”

    Being praised, Ran Zaizai smiled brightly and said softly: “Practice hard and you will become better and better!” During this period of getting along, Ran Zaizai silently recognized them in his heart. Although they have different personalities, they are both hard-working and very cute.

    The team continues to move forward.

    Ran Zaizai’s consciousness extended far, and she discovered that there was a river spring in the miasma forest. Thinking that the monsters on the periphery would not approach the core area, she took everyone straight to the spring.

    When they arrived at the spring, they discovered that this well-like spring was emitting a faint gray mist strangely.

    Mu Siling, the daughter of the leader, guessed it at a glance. She raised her head and said to Ran again: “Senior Sister Ran, do you think it is the problem with this spring? It may be that the water here is polluted. Those monsters have become irritable and abnormal after drinking this water for a long time.”

    “Well, Siling is right!” Ran Zai used the probing technique again and saw that the gray mist in the spring, although thin, was the source of the evil energy. They slowly merged into the water and then circulated throughout the Gushan Forest.

    However, because it is too rare and thin after being integrated into the water flow, it is not as large as some harmful poisonous gases, so it is not at the source and cannot be detected at all. However, the monsters in the Gushan Forest have been drinking and sucking this breath for a long time, causing the monsters to lose consciousness and attack humans.

    The exploration technique penetrated along the entire bottom of the spring. No, there was no strange existence at the bottom of the spring that caused the source of the breath to appear. She checked around the entire spring and the surrounding area, but there was nothing there.

    Ran Zai looked puzzled again and said to the other Hehuan sect nuns: “Chang Huan, come with everyone to check this spring!”

    Xu Changhuan was the first to finish the inspection, and she was slightly confused: “It’s strange, why there is no breath penetration in Quan’s eyes!”

    Mu Siling also retracted her hand: “The gray mist exists only in the area around the spring!”

    Another female cultivator in the alchemy stage reacted: “Senior Sister Ran, don’t you think the problem is not the spring itself?”

    “Well, the breath that blends into the water is too thin. It will take about one to two years to make the monsters unconscious. Before that, the monsters here in Gushan were very calm, so there should be something else. Let me try to purify the spring first!” After saying that, Ran stretched out his hand again, and a strong white light flew out of her hand and went straight to the spring.

    The power of purification penetrated along the bottom of the entire spring, and then circled around the entire spring and the surrounding areas. The spring surrounded by gray mist immediately returned to its original clarity.

    Several female cultivators in the foundation building stage asked happily: “Is this purification completed? !!”

    Ran Zaizai frowned slightly and shook his head: “No way! Let’s wait and see!”

    Sure enough, after they waited for a while, gray mist appeared in the spring again.

    Ran Zai kept a straight face again, this time she secretly held the best spiritual stone in her other hand, and used the greatest purifying power to cover all the areas centered on the spring.

    Then a stick of incense time passed, and no gray mist appeared at the spring. Ran Zaizai did not relax. She, who was lacking in spiritual energy, took everyone out of the miasma forest to rest.

    After a long time, she and Xu Changhuan recovered their spiritual power and went into the miasma forest alone again to check the spring.

    After checking, Xu Changhuan also looked sad: “Senior Sister Ran, the gray fog has appeared again!”

    Ran stretched out her hand and tried twice more, but no matter how she purified it, there was still gray mist slowly seeping out of the spring.

    Xu Changhuan was puzzled: “This is the source. Why do those strange gray fogs appear again and again after purification?”

    “I haven’t found the reason either!” Ran Zai was very surprised. She didn’t find any traces of formations near the spring, nor did she find any other special aura. She even changed the shape of the spring, and even destroyed many surrounding environments, and there was no new discovery.

    So in the end she could only sigh to Xu Changhuan and said: “Purification may not work. I will seal it with the sealing formation first. As long as it no longer seeps out the evil gray mist, I will think of other methods after the sect is enlightened.”

    “Well, don’t be sad, senior sister. This is not a problem with your purification technique. Maybe sealing is the best solution for this weird aura problem!” Xu Changhuan comforted cautiously.

    “Well, let’s go?!” Ran Zaizai was just a little regretful. After two or three months of delay, only half of the sect’s mission was completed!

    The other female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were still very happy, because they had collected a lot of spiritual grass, spiritual plants, various demonic beast materials, and demon blood demon pills in their storage bags, so they decided not to use the teleportation array to return to the sect, but to go to the trade fair in Li City first.

    The trade fair was jointly established by several major sects in the mainland. It had elixir halls, weapons shops, auction houses, trading rooms, etc., and everything was available. Some of them wanted to exchange spiritual grass for some elixirs, some wanted to use monster materials to make weapons, and some wanted to exchange training resources. Ran Zai never wanted to visit the auction house, so she took a flying boat to Li City.
