Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The strange fire can burn zombies, but the yin energy here is thick. Although it is not easy for the strange fire to burn the mountain, it also consumes a lot of spiritual power to activate it, which makes Jiang Xinxin dislike this strange fire very much.

Wei Ying, however, was amazed. “Ah Cheng, where did you get this strange fire? Judging from its properties, it should be Yang, so it is just right for restraining these zombies. If there is more strange fire, maybe even this mass grave can be burned down.”

This gave Jiang Xinxin a lot of ideas. Anyway, Wei Ying was the only one here. And although Wei Ying used to be nonchalant and talkative with women, when something really happened, he would keep his mouth shut and there would be almost no secrets that would be revealed from his mouth.

Jiang Xinxin directly contacted the system and asked Tiandao to provide a strange fire that could destroy the mass grave. It was not that she did not have a better and more suitable collection, but the things born in this world must always be more suitable for the environment of this world. Moreover, if she could really cultivate a strange fire that could destroy the mass grave, it would also be a great thing for the improvement of the rules of this world.

While waiting for the system to reply, Jiang Xinxin took back the strange fire and handed it to Wei Ying, saying, "Hurry up and refine and tame this strange fire. Don't worry about me. I have more here."

Wei Ying was immediately speechless. He took the flaming strange fire with a smile, but did not prepare to refine it immediately. "There is no rush for the strange fire. Let's talk about it after we get out."

Knowing that Wei Ying felt sorry for her, Jiang Xinxin did not object. As she watched Wei Ying store the strange fire into his dantian, she had a new idea: "Everything we have seen along the way, including the land under our feet, has been infected by yin and resentment, but these things are not completely useless. Why don't we bring some samples back and let the elders see if they can be used to refine weapons."

This mass grave was also a battleground for military strategists hundreds of years ago. Although it has experienced many wars, there are always many people living around it and the town is very prosperous. It was not until Xue Chonghai emerged as a rising star and established his sect in Yiling that Yiling became even more prosperous.

If Xue Chonghai had not suddenly come up with an idea to embezzle the Yin Iron and unify the world, the hundreds of immortal sects would not have risen up to attack and kill Xue Chonghai, and would not have broken the Yin Iron into pieces to suppress him.

However, the negative energy and resentment in this mass grave are so strong that Jiang Xinxin also suspected that there must be something wrong. Because if there was no human intervention, even if the negative energy in this mass grave was gathered because of the countless deaths and injuries among the hundreds of immortal families, if there was nothing to gather the negative energy afterwards, the negative energy here would not slowly dissipate, but it would definitely not become the deadly place it is today.

Coincidentally, Wei Ying also found something wrong here. He said worriedly, "Ah Cheng, I always feel that the ancient battlefield where Xue Chonghai was defeated is not enough to turn this area of ​​100 miles into a place of death in a few hundred years. So I think that maybe at the beginning, the yin energy here was so strong that it was easy for evil spirits to come here, but later someone must have secretly done something to this mass grave, which caused the yin energy and resentment around it to gather more and more."

Jiang Xinxin recalled the black iron flute that the Yiling Patriarch always kept in his hand in Jiang Cheng's memory, and immediately echoed Wei Ying, "I suddenly remembered that when this place was prone to attracting evil spirits at the beginning, the surrounding residents must have held some activities to pray for blessings. If it is said that a cultivator deliberately made this place a place of death, I think it is unlikely, because the lifespan of a cultivator is only about 70 to 80 years, and we have never heard of any family's children becoming prosperous by relying on this mass grave. Maybe the original residents of the surrounding area accidentally brought some things that gathered Yin inadvertently."

Although Wei Ying had said to Lan Qiren in front of the disciples of hundreds of immortal families that "spiritual energy is also energy, and resentment is also energy", he also believed that the predecessors must have experimented with resentment, but looking at Lan Qiren's performance at the time, it was obvious that no one had succeeded. So this mass grave might really be as Jiang Xinxin said, that the residents in the surrounding area in the past accidentally brought something that gathered yin in order to pray for blessings, which caused the yin and resentment to gather for a long time, thus forming the current deadly place.

However, it is useless to say anything now. Only Yicheng has people around the mass grave. Other towns have been emptied. It is unknown whether there are any records of residents praying for blessings hundreds of years ago. Of course, even if no similar records can be found, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying will still search this mass grave.

When the Breath-Suppressing Talisman was about to lose its effectiveness, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying left the mass grave first. The system didn't know what was going on. It took so long and no news came back. Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Wei Ying saw some anxiety on Jiang Xinxin's face and thought she was dissatisfied with the fact that she had gained nothing today, so he quickly comforted her and said, "Ah Cheng, this mass grave has been unsolved for hundreds of years. Although both of us have good cultivation, we can't say that we can pacify this mass grave in a day or two."

Jiang Xinxin also knew that some things could not be rushed, so she turned to Wei Ying and said, "There is a thatched hut ahead. Let's rest there tonight. You should also refine the strange fire quickly. We can go in and take a look tomorrow."

Wei Ying followed Jiang Xinxin's gaze and saw seven or eight small courtyards scattered at the foot of the mountain in front of him, but only one thatched house looked relatively neat. The other small courtyards were in ruins, which showed that this place must have been abandoned.

The hut looked like no one had lived in it for some time. The house was covered in dust and there were no necessary daily necessities. Even the pots in the kitchen had been moved away. Only a broken table with a sprained foot and a few broken benches were left. Fortunately, the thatch on the roof was not damaged and at least it could keep out the wind and rain.

Jiang Xinxin cleaned the house with a few dust-removing techniques, and took out pots, pans, and food from the storage bag. She hadn't eaten properly all day, and it was getting late, so she was really hungry.

After the meal, Jiang Xinxin quickly set up a protective formation for the thatched cottage and the yard, and urged Wei Ying to refine the strange fire overnight. She then protected Wei Ying and kept watch. Wei Ying was reluctant to see her work so hard, but he also knew that her arrangements were all for his own good, so he had to hurry up and refine the strange fire.

While Wei Ying was refining the strange fire, Jiang Xinxin was not idle either. She urged the system to reply quickly while taking out pen, ink, paper and inkstone to draw talismans. The breath-suppressing talisman was indeed useful, but it was consumed very quickly in the mass grave. She had to prepare more so that she could stay in the mass grave for a while longer.

In the second half of the night, Jiang Xinxin felt that she was fully prepared and focused on the movements outside. If it weren't for the protective formation, their thatched hut would have been torn to pieces long ago. In just over two hours, she saw nearly a hundred evil spirits. No wonder the people here had to move away.
