Lu Chen calmly sat down cross-legged, tore off his clothes, briefly bandaged the wound on his left arm that was still bleeding, and then issued the first unquestionable order to the two of them.

"Recuperate where you are and set off in a quarter of an hour. Wang Teng, you will guard the first half of the moment, Yang Xiong, you will guard the second half of the quarter."

The voice was not loud, but it carried the determination and indifference of someone who had been in a position of power for a long time.

Wang Teng Hearing his name, an extremely complicated struggle flashed across his face.

Let him be a guard?

This was unimaginable in the past.

But when his eyes touched Yang Xiong who nodded without hesitation and walked towards the cave entrance with a spear, the last bit of unwillingness in his heart was like a charcoal fire extinguished by cold water, leaving only a wisp of smoke.

The situation is stronger than the person.

In the end, Wang Teng suppressed all his emotions, gripped the sword tightly, walked to the other side of the cave entrance without saying a word, and stared vigilantly at the deep darkness outside the cave.

Inside the cave, Lu Chen slowly closed his eyes.

On the surface, he was adjusting his breath, but in fact, his mind had already sunk into the depths of the sea of consciousness. In front of that eternal bronze furnace, cold thoughts flowed out.

"System, detect the damage and repair it."

[Ding! Three serious bone fractures were detected in the arm bone of the host's left arm. The muscles and meridians at the shoulder blade were deeply eroded by the Yin evil force. Many internal organs were displaced and damaged due to the huge force of the vibration.]

[It is estimated that a complete restoration will take Demon Devil Lifespan:180 years. Is it repairable?]

Lu Chen's heart sank slightly.

That Rebirth Hall Xiangzhu's blow before his death was indeed extremely domineering.

If he hadn't been <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> perfect and his physical body was extremely tyrannical, that blow would have been enough to break half of his body.

In this crisis-ridden Myriad Souls Cave, any injury may be a fatal flaw.

180 years of life, buying a foolproof life, this deal is worth it!

Since the previous province Demon Devil Lifespan was invaded by Sha Qi, Lu Chen can no longer save it.

Besides, as he became more proficient in using the system, he discovered that there was an upper limit for converting Demon Devil Lifespan into longevity.

After more than 40 years of longevity, the redemption interface has turned black.

"Repair." He didn't hesitate at all.

[Demon Devil Lifespan:1296 years 180 years = 1116 years.]

[Fix starts...]

In an instant, a warm and majestic life energy surged out from the furnace of the system, like the Yangtze River bursting its banks, instantly flowing through Lu Chen's limbs and bones!

It was an indescribable feeling of relief.

There was a numb and itchy feeling in his left arm, as if countless warm little hands were gently smoothing the cracks on the bones, reconnecting and merging the broken bones.

The cold and stubborn evil force that invades the scapula meridian is washed away by this pure life energy, like ice and snow under the sun, quickly melting and purifying.

The internal organs that had been displaced by the shock were slowly returned to their original positions by a gentle force and regained their vitality.

During the whole process, Lu Chen's complexion turned from pale to rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breathing was steady and long, with no clues on his appearance, as if he had just settled into meditation for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, the light in his eyes flashed away.

He didn't say anything, he just calmly took out the two Storage Bag obtained from the Rebirth Hall incense master and his subordinates.

Divine Sense first probed into Storage Bag, who belonged to the middle-level congregation of Meridian Opening.

The space is not large, about three to five cubic meters, and there are scattered some healing elixirs, a few tokens recording information about the Rebirth Hall's several strongholds around Nanling Prefecture, and more than three hundred pieces of mid-grade Spirit Stone.

For today's Lu Chen, it is better than nothing.

He turned Divine Sense to the incense owner's Storage Bag.

This exploration revealed that even though Lu Chen had a calm mind, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The space of this Storage Bag is more than ten times larger, and the Spirit Stone inside are piled up into a small mountain. It is roughly estimated that the middle-grade Spirit Stone costs no less than two thousand yuan.

In addition, there are several bottles of higher-grade elixirs. The jade bottles exude a gleaming light, which is obviously not ordinary.

But what caught Lu Chen's attention the most was a thread-bound black booklet lying quietly in the corner.

He Divine Sense moved and took out the booklet.

On the cover, written in a font that looks like blood, are four twisted ancient characters - <Ghost-Raising Insights>.

Lu Chen turned over a few pages and his eyes gradually became solemn.

This booklet records in detail how the Rebirth Hall lineage captures, refines, and controls resentful souls, covering everything from the lowest wandering souls to powerful evil ghosts and even the legendary ghost king.

Among them, there are even more powerful methods of practicing sinister secret techniques such as [Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts] and [Ghost King Slash].

Lu Chen Although he scorned this Tao, he was impressed by the many methods on how to temper and use the power of the soul.

These methods are sinister and deceitful, but they point directly to the origin of the soul, allowing him to have many brand-new and analogous ideas for the use of his powerful soul power.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lu Chen pointed his fingers, and he felt that there seemed to be a foreign object in the middle layer of the booklet.

He carefully used his nails to pick apart the glued pages, and a folded and incomplete map made of some kind of animal skin fell out.

The strokes on the map are simple and seem to depict a mountainous terrain. In several locations on the map, there are several eye-catching red dots marked with cinnabar.

The location of one of the red dots is Nanling Prefecture Demon Suppression Division!

Next to the red dot of Demon Suppression Division, there are two small characters - Armory.

Lu Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

The target of Armory! Rebirth Hall is also Demon Suppression Division Armory!

Thinking back to what Captain Li once mentioned, the [Godslayer] broken halberd deep in Armory made even his heart palpitate...

An astonishing guess emerged in Lu Cun's mind.

At this moment, a quarter of an hour has expired.

Lu Chen put <Ghost-Raising Insights> and the map quietly into his arms and stood up slowly.

He moved his left arm casually, and the joints made a crisp sound. The movements were smooth and easy, as if he had never been injured.

This scene happened to be seen by Yang Xiong, who happened to be returning from a defense change. His big copper-bell eyes suddenly widened, and the depths of his pupils were filled with incredulity.

Such a serious injury can be healed in a quarter of an hour?

This... what kind of monster recovery ability is this?

He increasingly felt that the secret of the Lu Banner Sergeant he chose to follow was even more unfathomable than that of Myriad Souls Cave.

"Let's go."

Lu Chen spat out a word, without any unnecessary explanation, and walked deep into the cave first.

Based on the information Lu Chen obtained from the memory of the incense owner, the three people turned around and quickly arrived at the end of the cave.

Ahead, it suddenly becomes clear.

An underground river about ten feet wide, flowing endlessly, lay in front of them.

The river water was as dark as ink, as if it could swallow up all light, and a biting chill accompanied by a faint fishy smell hit the face.

This is the only way to the core area of Myriad Souls Cave - River of Forgetfulness.

Lu Chen jumped up and jumped onto the slippery rock wall by the river first, clinging to it like a gecko and swimming upstream.

Yang Xiong and Wang Teng follow closely behind.

The three of them are all Movement Method extraordinary people. They are walking quickly on this rugged and slippery rock wall as if they were walking on flat ground.

However, after they had traveled several hundred feet upstream, the roaring river in front of them suddenly became extremely gentle without any warning, and the water flow became stagnant, like an obsidian mirror that had been polished and polished, without any ripples.

In the center of this dead mirror, a dilapidated small boat with a black roof was floating silently.

On the bow of the boat, there was a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, with his back to them, holding a bamboo penny, motionless.

A breath that was colder, weirder, and more shuddering from the depths of the soul than the previous incense owner's Bone-Corroding Curse Poison, like an invisible tide, instantly enveloped the three of them.
