Chapter 117: “Mind Reading”, “Yin Exploration”, “Eye of Insight”, “Rampant”

Ning Yan walked in the gloomy and dense forest, with a melancholy and sad expression.

Suddenly I looked up and saw six or seven elves, no more than one meter tall, standing in front of me.

wrong.

Elves don’t look so ugly.

It’s more like a goblin.

He rubbed his eyes again and looked carefully again.

All of these people had the bodies of children but the faces of adults.

In terms of appearance, almost all of them are elderly or middle-aged people.

Some people’s faces are covered with wrinkles and their skin is almost collapsing.

Ning Yan immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.

This is not an elf at all.

They are a bunch of dwarfs!!
Thinking of this, a hint of pity rose in his eyes.

A disabled person, instead of staying outside, came here to explore.

There must be some unknown reasons behind this.

Maybe it has something to do with their current body shape and condition.

Ning Yan was thinking.

Zhong Ronghao on the other side was about to step forward and grab Ning Yan.

However, when he was about to take action, Wei Huayong suddenly grabbed his arm and stopped him on the spot.

Zhong Ronghao looked puzzled.

Wei Huayong shook his head slowly at him.

He looked at Ning Yan, his eyes revealing a deep concentration.

Those who can come to the inner area of ​​Yin Jue Forest are definitely not ordinary people.

Not to mention that I was traveling alone.

Although he looks like he is at the peak of Qi Gathering, it is not ruled out that he has learned some strange secret method that can cause serious damage to violent Qi.

He even sacrificed himself to infect a large number of people around him, causing Baoqi to become seriously ill and die.

These have happened in the past.

Apart from this, no one can be sure whether he has other relatives, friends and companions.

What if he is not alone and is carrying something that can transmit signals? Once he is attacked, it is likely to cause more trouble.

Now that they have lost several people, they must act with caution.

Thinking of this, Wei Huayong immediately put on a smile, strode forward, and asked in a tone as friendly as possible:
“Excuse me, young man, do you know the map of this area? We are lost here and can’t find a way out.”

After hearing this, Ning Yan couldn’t help but ask:
“This inner realm is very dangerous. What are you doing here?”

Wei Huayong smiled slightly and immediately replied:

“We’re looking for cockroach mushrooms.”

“Cock-Crowing Mushrooms, what are you looking for cock-crowing mushrooms for?”

Wei Huayong was about to give his prepared explanation.

I never thought that Ning Yan would think to himself:
“I understand. You must be trying to cure your own illness and heal this dwarf body, so you need the cockroach mushroom.”

Hmm? It seems more reasonable than what I made up?
Wei Huayong thought for a moment and immediately nodded:
“Yes, yes, you are right, that’s it.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the people behind him and said with a bitter face:

“All of us have been drinking polluted water for years, so our bodies have never been able to grow taller, and we have always been this height as we age.

Fortunately, I just heard from a miracle doctor not long ago that the chicken-crowing mushrooms in the Yin Jue Forest can be effective for us, so we formed a team and came here to try to pick a few and cure all of our illnesses!”

A look of determination appeared on everyone’s face.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Huayong sighed again and said:
“What can we do? What can we do? The environment in Yin Jue Forest is complex and it is difficult to distinguish the surroundings. We just walked around here a few times and ended up losing our way. Let alone looking for the Chicken Crow Mushroom, we don’t even know where we are trapped.”

There was a look of sorrow on everyone’s face.

Ning Yan saw this and said with pity:
“This is really difficult for you. In order to treat your own illness, you have to bear such a huge risk.”

“Well, I happen to know the location of the Cockcrowing Mushroom, so let me take you there.”

Hearing this, everyone was immediately very happy.

Taking advantage of the time when Ning Yan turned around to lead the way, everyone followed. Zhong Ronghao approached Wei Huayong and asked quietly:
“Mountain Master, what’s the situation?”

Wei Huayong transmitted the message:

“Don’t worry. I just used the Mind Reading Technique. His mind didn’t show any abnormal fluctuations during the conversation. He was telling the truth. This man really knows the location of the Cockscreaming Mushroom.”

As everyone listened, they couldn’t help but show joy on their faces.

According to the map, there is a large mushroom forest on the road near the blood dragon mushroom, and the cockcrow mushroom grows in it.

This means that as long as they find the mushroom forest, they can quickly follow the route and reach the Blood Dragon Mushroom.

Wei Huayong originally thought that Ning Yan might not know the location of the Chicken-crowing Mushroom, and he was even prepared to ask about other products.

Unexpectedly, they knew the route to that place, which saved them a lot of time in searching.

After following Ning Yan for a while, everyone returned to the familiar route.

At this time, they could actually leave Ning Yan and follow the original route to the location of the Blood Dragon Ganoderma.

However, seeing that Ning Yan was still leading the way, Wei Huayong and others did not stop him.

But after moving forward for a while.

Seeing Ning Yan rushing into a bush, Wei Huayong frowned slightly and asked:

“Why are we going this direction? This doesn’t seem to be the direction of the cock-crow mushroom, right?”

Ning Yan listened and couldn’t help but laugh:
“I’ll take you on a shortcut.”

“Is there a shortcut?”

“of course.”

Ning Yan said loudly:
“We can go to the left, but we will soon run into a group of evil spirits. With our limited manpower, we may be able to deal with them, but it will also take a lot of time.

If you choose to take a detour from there, it will take even longer, so it’s faster to go my way.”

“Is that so?”

Zhong Ronghao and others looked suspicious.

The map they got did not mention the existence of a group of evil spirits near the route.

Wei Huayong then said:

“Listen to this little brother Ning, he definitely didn’t lie to us.”

Everyone understood instantly and nodded.

Soon, following Ning Yan through the bushes and a dense forest, they turned onto a familiar route.

Although I don’t know whether there is really any evil spirit on the road on the left, this shortcut is indeed a shortcut. Compared with the original road, it saves a lot of time.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel quite happy.

Wei Huayong looked even more smug.

After walking through two more areas, Ning Yan suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice:

“Ready to fight!”

Everyone was immediately very surprised, and Zhong Ronghao asked doubtfully:

“Fight? Fight what?”

“There is a group of evil spirits surrounding us. There are about a dozen of them. They are moving very fast, but their aura is not particularly strong. It is best to fight them on the spot and completely eliminate them, so as to avoid them biting us all the time.”

Wei Huayong didn’t have time to use the [Mind-Reading Technique] and didn’t know whether these words were true or false.

He, Zhong Ronghao, and another angry man all frowned slightly after hearing Ning Yan’s words.

In terms of perception, the perception of violent energy is far stronger than that of concentrated energy. Even if there is a slight movement in the distance, they can quickly detect it.

It stands to reason that if there really was an evil spirit attacking, as long as it wasn’t the type that attacked suddenly and silently like the Faceless Woman, they would generally be able to detect it in advance.

But now, clearly they didn’t notice anything, but this man at the peak of Qi Gathering said that an evil spirit was attacking.

Could it be that his perception is stronger than his anger?
Zhong Ronghao was about to question.

The next second, the three angry men all changed color.

Soon, even the remaining three people at the peak of Qi Condensation began to react.

As the ground shook slightly, more than a dozen monsters covered with human heads rushed into everyone’s sight.

“It’s actually [Hundred Poems]?!”

Everyone was quite surprised. They didn’t expect that Ning Yan could actually predict the arrival of the evil spirits in advance.

Compared to other evil spirits, Baishou is not particularly strong and can be easily killed by physical attacks.

Soon, under the hunting of the crowd, these dozen or so hundred-headed beasts all turned into light black smoke and continued to dissipate.

After killing these hundreds of heads, Wei Huayong looked at Ning Yan and asked curiously while practicing the “Mind-Analyzing Technique”:
“When I was choosing the route earlier, I was thinking, Brother Ning seems to be able to sense the location of the evil spirit, and it’s very far away?

Now you have learned about the arrival of this group of Hundred Heads in advance, could it be that you have practiced some kind of magic to sense evil spirits?”

Ning Yan thought about it, and replied with a little hesitation:
“I did practice a similar technique.”

Wei Huayong quickly asked again:

“Can you even sense an evil spirit like the Faceless Woman?”

Ning Yan nodded and said:
“I can definitely sense it.”

Previously, he had relied on the perception chapter “The Art of Exploring the Yin” included in “The Art of Swallowing the Sky with Nothingness” to accurately locate the lair of the faceless women.

“Can it sense any evil spirit?”

Wei Huayong asked with surprise. Ning Yan shook his head:

“There are countless evil spirits in the world, and new kinds are constantly being created. How can one detect all of them with just one spell?
In addition, this magic also has its flaws. It can only detect active evil spirits. It is difficult to detect those silent evil spirits, so you still need to be careful when using it. “

“That’s enough, that’s enough.”

Wei Huayong said with joy:

“I have a humble request. I wonder if Brother Ning could teach me this miscellaneous technique?

Of course, I won’t let you suffer a loss. I can exchange other spells with you. In this way, we can both master two spells and gain two abilities. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Ning Yan hesitated after hearing this:
“My book, The Art of Exploring the Yin, is not easy to learn. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to learn it.”

Wei Huayong was suddenly speechless.

Do you know what you are talking about?

If you, a Ju Qi, can learn it, how can I, a great Bao Qi, not be able to learn it?
He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:
“Could it be that Brother Ning doesn’t think highly of my magic formula?”

“No no.”

“Why not listen to my introduction?”

Wei Huayong said in a deep voice:

“My spell is called ‘Eye of Insight’. After practicing it, you can easily see the path of the vital energy flowing through other people’s bodies. Based on this, you can launch targeted attacks, which can greatly increase the chance of victory. This is not an ordinary miscellaneous spell.”

Of course, he didn’t say that the “Eye of Insight” used for trading had a loophole and would be restrained by the “Random Movement Technique” that disguised the operation of vitality.

A warrior who has practiced the “Eye of Insight” will die miserably if he encounters a warrior who has mastered the “Art of Chaos”.

After listening to Wei Huayong’s introduction, Ning Yan was somewhat moved.

And not just because Eye of Insight sounds really good.

Also, this miscellaneous technique can be fully combined with the “Jie Yuan Finger”, aiming at the core of the opponent’s vital energy circulation, and using finger techniques in a targeted manner, thereby greatly reducing the consumption of performing the “Jie Yuan Finger”.

Wei Huayong persuaded Ning Yan several times, and Ning Yan finally made a deal with the other party reluctantly.

The “Art of Exploring the Yin” that he gave to Wei Huayong was just a separate chapter and had nothing to do with the “Art of Swallowing the Sky with Nothingness”.

To be precise, the skills of “The Art of Swallowing the Sky with Nothingness” have a certain bonus effect on “The Art of Exploring the Yin”, so it is included in it.

The “Yin Exploration Technique” alone can actually be used for practice.

In order to show his sincerity, Ning Yan gave Wei Huayong the enhanced version of “The Art of Detecting Yin” that he deduced by himself. Not only did its perception range become four times that of the original version, but its sensitivity was also greatly improved.

According to Ning Yan’s guess, the original version should not be able to sense evil spirits like the Faceless Woman, which shows how powerful she is.

After exchanging their skills, Ning Yan led the way while secretly practicing “Eye of Insight”.

Just as Wei Huayong said, this film “Eye of Insight” does have the effect of insight.

But Ning Yan always felt that his insight ability was a bit low. Not only could he only see through people of the same level, but he was also easily deceived by outsiders.

So he made some slight modifications and improvements, plugged the loopholes, and greatly improved his insight, allowing him to see more and more details.

In addition, he can also see through higher-level warriors. Even if he can’t see them very clearly, it is much better than before when he was completely unaware of them.

After making the modifications, Ning Yan spent another twenty-seven steps to completely practice the “Eye of Insight”.

After a while, Wei Huayong, who had roughly read “The Art of Exploring the Yin”, frowned and asked curiously:
“Why does your book ‘The Art of Exploring the Yin’ seem a little inconsistent?

How can this vital energy travel such a distance between the acupuncture points in an instant?
With this running route, aren’t you afraid of damaging your internal organs?

Are you trying to trick me with some problematic magic?”

Wei Huayong looked extremely suspicious and immediately activated his “Mind Reading Technique”.

“What I gave you is the original chapter. I have already mastered it. How could there be any problem?”

Ning Yan said unhappily:

“I told you before that this technique is too complicated for you. I’m afraid you won’t be able to learn it at all.”

Wei Huayong knew that Ning Yan was not lying, and he immediately felt very conflicted, even unbelievable:

“It shouldn’t be.”

“How is it possible that you can learn it but I can’t?”

“That doesn’t make sense.”

“I still don’t believe it!”

Having said that, Wei Huayong began to practice according to what was written in the technique.

“The Art of Exploring the Yin” is not a purely static exercise, but can be practiced both static and dynamic.

It is not just something that can be practiced while meditating in a quiet room, it can also be practiced while walking.

However, not long after practicing, Wei Huayong felt his mind confused and his practice was not going smoothly. For a moment, he could not even complete one-fifth of the first cycle and was stuck on the spot.

“How could this be?”

“My talent can’t be this bad.”

“What went wrong?”

Wei Huayong was puzzled.

He didn’t believe that anyone who gathered Qi could succeed in cultivation, but he, a man with violent Qi, couldn’t even do it.

At this time, Zhong Ronghao behind him suddenly stepped forward and said:
“Mountain Master, this route seems a little wrong.”

“wrong?”

Wei Huayong came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and checked his surroundings.

Sure enough, this is very different from the route recorded on the map.

Wei Huayong immediately used the “Mind-Reading Technique” and asked Ning Yan:
“Brother Ning, are you sure this road can lead to the mushroom forest?”

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely get there.”

Ning Yan replied confidently.

“But why do I remember that there seem to be many dangerous evil spirits gathering on this road?”

“Dangerous evil? Impossible.”

Ning Yan thought about the map of Xiaoyuanmen, which marked some tree monsters growing on this road.

He had encountered that tree demon before in other places. It had no killing power at all and was very weak.

If that could be considered a dangerous evil, these people would be enough to crush it a hundred times.

Ning Yan put this thought behind him, smiled and said:
“You must have made a mistake. Come with me. I will take you to the mushroom forest.”

Wei Huayong nodded and said to the people behind him:
“We’ll go with Brother Ning.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, but all of them looked at Ning Yan’s back with a gloomy look.

They already knew that Ning Yan came for the Blood Dragon Ganoderma.

There is no doubt that this is their competitor.

Once you arrive at the mushroom forest, it’s almost time to take action first.

After walking forward for a while, Zhong Ronghao suddenly smelled a hint of blood.

He frowned slightly, looked around, and soon found the source:

“Master, why are you bleeding from the nose?”

“nosebleed?”

Wei Huayong wiped his nose with his hand, but said nonchalantly:

“It’s just a little nosebleed, it’s nothing.”

As he said this, he looked at Zhong Ronghao and others, and said excitedly:

“I know how to practice this skill now.”

“Once I have mastered it, I will teach you all of it!”

Zhong Ronghao was a little worried:
“How about we go out and practice some more?

Right now, it is more important to keep this place in the best condition possible.”

“It’s okay. I’m fine.”

Wei Huayong waved his hand and said:

“I have a lot of ideas in my head. If I don’t practice this ‘Yin Exploration Technique’ now, I might not be able to practice it after a while.”

Having said this, he continued to practice.

This time, even his ears began to bleed.

Soon they entered a dark forest.

From time to time, faint chirping sounds could be heard in the forest.

Zhong Ronghao listened attentively and felt that the sound was gradually getting louder and finally turned into a sharp whistle.

Zhong Ronghao’s face changed instantly.

When the other people around heard the whistle, their expressions also changed.

I saw that among the surrounding woods, a dozen trees suddenly grew faces.

They opened their mouths wide, and wave after wave of sharp and shrill whistles came out, bombarding everyone’s spirits.

“This is the Thousand Illusion Tree Demon! It can create mental illusions! Everyone, hurry up–!”

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Ronghao fell into endless illusions.

The same was true for the other people around.

Only Wei Huayong, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, was unaware of it and laughed loudly, but his laughter suddenly stopped.

Ning Yan walked for a while and suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned his head and looked at the few people in the distance who were stunned like puppets, and said in surprise:

“Huh? Why aren’t you moving? Hurry up, the mushroom forest is just ahead.”
