"Boiling salt field of the Ba people?"
Li Yan heard this and frowned slightly.
"That’s right."
"Fast Ship Zhang" nodded: "There are many such places along the Yangtze River in Badong and Wushan, especially around Wuxi, where you can also see the hanging coffins of the ancient Ba people."
"There’s nothing extraordinary inside, occasionally you might find so broken pottery or tal, but they’re not valuable, so no one pays attention."
"This matter is not surprising."
Wang Daoxuan looked around, stroked his beard and said: "This place belonged to the ancient Ba Kingdom, near Wuxi, which is very likely the Wuxian Country ntioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"The Kingdom of Ba thrived on its salt, unprocessed and plain, it was their trade, not farming, they relied on the salt trade to live without worries, thus it was called ’salt of Ba’. Eventually, they perished because of it."
"The ’Fog Dwellers’ nest is in the salt field, it seems their roots are likely connected with the ancient Ba Kingdom..."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yan.
No need to say it explicitly, Li Yan imdiately understood his aning.
The most terrifying thing in this world is ti. Without ascension, it all ends in delusion, even those evil spirits are the sa.
To survive from the Barbaric Era until now...
They certainly aren’t ordinary specters!
"This matter cannot be taken lightly."
Li Yan pondered briefly and then said: "First, help the Zhang Family get through this calamity. Once we figure out the origin of that thing, we’ll make further plans."
Zhang Sibei was sowhat disappointed, thinking that since they were masters, they should directly slaughter the evil spirits. Why be so cautious?
But seeing "Fast Ship Zhang" obey Li Yan’s words, he couldn’t say much more, so he had people rebury the graves and return.
As for that Snake Spirit, it seed terrified, preferring to die than enter the village, darting into the grass and disappearing without a trace.
Returning to Jinyangping, it was already afternoon.
Looking at the Blade Mountain set up outside the door, Li Yan thought for a mont, then stepped forward, bowing to Xie Chengzu: "Senior, we discovered sothing..."
Xie Chengzu could be considered a local magician, willing to stay, partly out of stubbornness, but also with a good heart.
To prevent any accidents, Li Yan didn’t conceal anything.
"Old salt field?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Chengzu furrowed his brows even more: "What this ’Fog Dwellers’ are, even this old man does not know. The only thing we can do is try to communicate with them tonight and find out their origin."
"If anything happens tonight, it’s best to convince the Zhang family to move away as soon as possible. Whether to Qingcheng or Wudang, as long as they live at the foot of the mountains, those things shouldn’t disturb them."
"What you say, senior, is true."
Li Yan smiled slightly and tried asking: "Senior, I see you have a fine Divine Concealing Cloth, may I ask if you’d part with it?"
Xie Chengzu raised an eyebrow, eyes full of suspicion, "That thing, I also found it by chance, it is quite handy for ."
"If you really want it, just... give two thousand taels!"
Trading in Magic Artifacts is not a big deal, he gritted his teeth and quoted a high price, expecting to haggle.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan reached out imdiately, "Deal!"
"Old Sha, pay him!"
"Huh?"
Xie Chengzu was a bit dumbfounded, hesitated for a mont, and then nodded: "Alright, that thing is yours. As for that ’Du Huo Divine Coffin’, it’s no good item. Once it’s taken out, it loses its use, better to destroy it soon."
With Li Yan being so generous, he felt he might have lost out.
But he also couldn’t fathom the use of this item, it wasn’t very useful in his hands, better to exchange it for so silver to renovate the Ancestor Altar...
Back at the Zhang Family, everyone imdiately beca busy.
Wang Daoxuan took a compass, wandered around the front and back of the house, occasionally planting so red sticks, wrapped with red rope, and tying Yansheng Money on them.
Lv San pulled out the increasingly fat Rat One and Rat Two with a command, causing all the house rats in Jinyangping to beco restless, running all directions to monitor.
Sha Lifei and Wu Ba each prepared their weapons.
As for Li Yan, he ca to the box containing the "Du Huo Divine Coffin", without a second word, grabbed the dirty red cloth.
Instantly, a force surged into the Daluo Dharma Body.
Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, observing internally.
He saw the texture on the Daluo Dharma Body changing once again.
Originally, this treasure had a cracked greenstone texture, after repairs and enhancent, it had beco like ceramics.
But now, it had faint golden patterns appearing on it, sketching along the stand beneath, seemingly trying to outline a contour.
Unfortunately, the fortune contained within the Divine Concealing Cloth was too little, it only delineated two lotus petals before it lost its effect.
It was still increasing strength!
Li Yan felt inexplicably disappointed.
Not that it was bad, but there were no new changes.
The Daluo Dharma Body now had three transformations.
First is repair, second is enhancent, third is absorbing Divine Astral, increasing the power and length of the Divine Skills Soul-hooking Thunder Rope.
Perhaps, to further upgrade the Daluo Dharma Body, to bring about new changes...
The Divine Concealing Cloth had no more effect, that ’Du Huo’ aura revealed again, now felt even clearer, seemingly fragrant like dicine, yet carrying a chilling unpleasantness within.
Li Yan pondered a bit, then placed his hand back on it.
Such Treasure dicine also belongs to Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure.
But Treasure dicine is more suitable for healing and alchemy, for example, the Treasure dicine Yanling Grass they found, refined into Elixir by Wang Jingxiu, once ingested, could imdiately stop bleeding and heal injuries.
At critical monts, it can save lives.
He has the Daluo Dharma Body, but other companions would benefit from it.
And this one before him, directly destroying it would be sowhat a waste.
Li Yan was absorbing Treasure dicine for the first ti, and according to estimation, such a life forceful thing usually could be used to repair the Dharma Body.
Indeed, a wave of fortune flowed in, but the perfectly intact Daluo Dharma Body showed no change.
Li Yan furrowed his brows slightly, stopped imdiately, and took out a Soul-breaking Flying Blade, directly cutting open the coffin-like ’Du Huo’.
