This valley originally had a name, but later it disappeared after Chen Man lived here.

According to the information Lu Mingheng knew, no one lived here forever before it was occupied by Chen Man, and it was just a third-level spiritual vein.

Logically speaking, some masters must not be too fond of the third-level spiritual vein, but at least for ordinary forces and cultivators, it is a very good territory, and no one should occupy it.

But the spiritual energy here is unusual, full of very strange power, and it is completely unconventional five elements spiritual energy. Normal cultivators have no way to practice here. For example, in the Qi Refining Period, let alone practicing here, if you stay for a little longer, you will be soaked in the body by this strange spiritual energy and die.

Even if you build the foundation or even the monk Qiming is here, it may not be a big problem, but if you practice, you will be at risk of sudden death.

The strange spiritual attributes here of course have attracted a lot of attention. Even some Jindan monks have explored this place.

Nothing was found.

Apart from the strange spiritual energy here, it is like a most ordinary valley, with no living creatures inside, whether it is plants, animals, or even insects that can be seen everywhere, it is not visible in this valley.

At the same time, people have not been able to find anything like treasures, rare materials, etc. here.

Since that's the case, I can only give up.

In the end, human monks could only be sure that because of the special spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a harmful spiritual energy was produced here, and there was nothing else valuable.

Gradually, no one paid attention to this place anymore. Occasionally, some unwilling explorers came over, either being killed by this strange aura, or finding nothing, and eventually leaving in shame.

This situation was not verified until many years ago when Chen Man found this place.

At that time, he was not very famous, he was just an ordinary casual cultivator.

At present, in the public information about Chen Man, he is said to be Mushui's double spiritual roots; but according to the information collected by Lu Mingheng over the years, it can be seen that this is very likely to be a false information. I don't know who released it, but it is not true.

Chen Man should have been a single spiritual root cultivator back then. Lu Mingheng did not find out what spiritual root it was, but it must be a very rare and special spiritual root. Chen Man, who was a casual cultivator back then, could not find any martial arts suitable for his own practice, and so he wasted a long time.

The information collected by Mingheng shows that Chen Man had resigned to many forces in the Wei Kingdom in his early career. He speculated that Chen Man hoped to find ways to obtain a suitable method for his spiritual root practice among various forces.

But it was obvious that he could not get what he wanted, so that he could barely complete the foundation building when he was nearly sixty years old - this was quite slow for a single spiritual monk.

But when Chen Man came to this strange valley, everything became different.

He regarded this place as his old nest - and he was indeed the only one who could enter and exit here freely without being influenced by the strange spiritual energy.

It was also since then that Chen Man's cultivation progress has made rapid progress, as if he had opened up the protagonist template of the waste stream. However, in less than thirty years, he became a monk Qiming, and then was promoted to the Golden Pill at the age of 150.

Of course, not no one has ever seen his adventure in the middle, but the final result is that those who have seen him will give up or end up being over. Chen Man not only survived well, but also made a name like "Ghost-faced God" and became a guest of honor in the Wei court, and eventually advanced to the Nascent Soul level.

Later, the spiritual energy intensity of this valley changed from the original level of only the third level to the current strength equivalent to the fifth level spiritual vein - but the intensity and range did not expand.

After collecting this information, Lu Mingheng naturally made reasonable speculation based on this information: the unknown rare spiritual roots that Chen Man possessed should be of the same kind as the original spiritual energy in this valley. Even there should be some kind of inheritance specifically targeting this unknown spiritual energy, and it was obtained by Chen Man.

After obtaining such a great opportunity, Chen Man embarked on his own path to prosperity.

Moreover, this place has become Chen Man's most suitable place for practice. After becoming the Golden Pill, and even becoming the Nascent Soul level later, no one dares to say anything more. Only this great monk with a strange personality, strange ability, and very powerful stays quietly here.

Ordinary people dare not enter the valley.

It’s not that Chen Man has something that he does not allow, he has never said such words. But after the concentration of spiritual energy in the valley rises to the fifth level, even ordinary Jindan monks will be injured by the ubiquitous thick and strange spiritual energy when they enter. Generally speaking, people who are not invited will not seek death to enter this valley. If there is such a person, Chen Man usually doesn’t need to take special action. The natural spiritual energy alone is enough to kill the rash ghost here.

Lu Mingheng, who came to the outside of the valley, did not bring any subordinates.

As the leader of the Jinyiwei spy lurking in the Wei State, he was able to mobilize some people. However, the masters in the ordinary sense are only at the grass-building level, but what is the use of foundation-building monks coming here?

Even, it’s useless to have too many people.

Of course, he did not dare to approach it rashly, or even enter the valley. The strange spiritual energy equivalent to the concentration of the fifth-level spiritual vein was circulated in some information, so Lu Mingheng dared not try it personally.

Moreover, even though he might be able to stay in it for a while with some magic weapons, he would not dare to go in. The ghost-faced god Chen Man has a large number of clones. Regardless of whether he is in his own nest, it would be normal to arrange a few clones to guard it next to him.

The clone of the master of the Dharma Activity Period... Although not every clone has the Dharma Activity and the strength level of the Nascent Soul, Lu Mingheng dared not take risks with his own body.

This time he came here just to observe whether there were any special changes in this Ghost Face God Valley. Because according to common sense, the high-level monks will cause more noise when they complete the initial stage of their breakthrough, which should have a profound impact on the surrounding environment.

There is no news. If there is really something that cannot be covered up, then he shouldn't have heard the news. This information should have been blocked by Chen Man himself or the official Wei State.

Since that's the case, I can only come and have a look.

He was worried before that there would be some special arrangements from the Wei Kingdom outside the Ghost Face God Valley. After arriving here, he was quite careful. But later he found that these were all redundant and he did not encounter any trouble.

He found a direction that was rarely visited and slowly approached the Ghost Face God Valley. His movement was very slow and he didn't dare to fly, so he just walked on the ground.

On the one hand, I am afraid of being discovered by the big noise, but on the other hand, I am afraid of the strange and strange aura that is blew up in the rumors. If I really get contaminated, there may be big problems.

In fact, there is no need to enter the valley. When Lu Mingheng approaches a certain distance, he can vaguely feel that some very special things are mixed in the spiritual energy that is wandering between heaven and earth. The amount is very small, and it is easy to miss it without careful perception. However, as he becomes closer and closer to the valley, this perception becomes more and more obvious.

At the same time, as his perception became more and more obvious, he also felt this spiritual energy, quietly eroding his body. After his skin touched this spiritual energy, he felt a little uncomfortable. Lu Mingheng could only release some spiritual power in a small amount to serve as a protection on his body surface.

But then, he soon discovered that such protection alone was not enough. The strange spiritual energy mixed in the air was rapidly corroding the spiritual energy used to protect his body.

In addition, he also discovered that these little bits of spiritual energy, mixed with normal spiritual energy, touched his body and infiltrated, eroding his meridians and the spiritual power in his body.

This level is very low, and the damage caused seems to be relatively mild for the time being, and it is not irreversible. It does not even require special treatment. You can recover after a break.

However, Lu Mingheng was still a little scared.

You know, he has not entered the valley yet. The strange concentration of spiritual energy is very low, but there are some in the air, and he still has to be perceived very seriously before he can detect it.

However, despite this, this power has shown a very terrible characteristic.

He could imagine why, even if the ghost-faced god Chen Man did not take action, there were very few people who could get out alive.

But... he had a vague feeling.

Why did he feel a little familiar with this strange spiritual energy?

But now, he still dares not confirm.

He continued to get closer. When he reached the edge of the valley, although the concentration had not risen to a sufficiently threatening level, it was able to confirm his previous guess.

This power is very similar to Lu Mingchao, who has now entered the Golden Pill Stage among the Nine Ancestors of the family.

These elders of the family have a good attitude towards him and value him more. From the patriarch Lu Chaoxi to Chaohe and then to Mingchao, he would often call him to come in front of him, give him some advice, ask about his current situation, or give him some things that are not too expensive but have a good effect on cultivation.

When he was with Lu Mingchao, he had felt more than once the special power possessed by this high-level monk who was his aunt.

It's really similar to the current one...

Could it be that the power here is the virtual spiritual energy? The natural spiritual root of the ghost-faced god Chen Man is the same as that of his aunt Lu Mingchao?

Of course, even if it is a 90% similarity, it is not dared to define it casually.

He just remembered this matter in his heart, which should be worth reporting.

After hesitating for a little, he walked straight into the valley.

The ghost-faced god seems to be very concerned about his residence. There are neither prohibitions nor any mountain gates or other things.

Of course, the strangeness in this valley is suspected to be a virtual spiritual energy, and it is the best forbidden method in itself.

Outside the valley, Lu Mingheng noticed the existence of the suspected virtual spiritual energy, but the intensity could not threaten him; but just as he entered the valley and walked through a certain limit, the impact of this virtual spiritual energy on his body suddenly became stronger. The feeling that the skin was eroded, the meridians were eroded, and the spiritual power in his body was eroded, became many times stronger in an instant than outside the valley.

Lu Mingheng's face turned a little blue. On the one hand, he was very uncomfortable by the empty spiritual energy, and on the other hand, he was also trying hard to fight this erosion, constantly consuming his spiritual power.

He quickly evaluated his current state and probably had a clear idea in his heart.

This virtual spiritual energy is terrifying and has a strange attribute, but to put it bluntly, it is just the spiritual energy that naturally permeates here. No matter how rich and strange it is, it is essentially uncontrollable, and the spiritual energy itself does not mean malicious or proactive attack.

In this case, as a monk of enlightenment, he was able to protect himself in a short period of time and would not have any major problems.

He estimated that he could withstand about an hour in the same way - the premise was that he would not encounter more accidents.

But in fact, he didn't need to be in the valley for so long.

He took out two things from his storage bag. One of them was a small white porcelain bottle with empty inside. The other one was a Bagua ritual.

These two things are functional magic tools.

Ming Heng picked up the small porcelain bottle, closed his eyes, and activated the magic weapon of spiritual power. On the surface of the small porcelain bottle, some tiny light blue runes appeared.

After a while, he opened his eyes and put the white porcelain bottle into his storage bag again.

This object can absorb the free spiritual energy in the air and block it in the bottle. It is a small thing that can be used for alchemy. Lu Mingheng used this little thing to collect some spiritual energy in the valley. He would attach his own feelings to find a way to pass it back to Yan State.

He was not sure if this was a virtual spiritual energy, he felt it was very similar. But Lu Mingchao, who was a virtual spiritual energy himself, would definitely be able to make a more accurate judgment.

Then, he took out the Bagua ritual plate.

If collecting the spiritual energy in the valley and judging its attributes is a temporary intention, then using this dashboard to trace the changes in the spiritual energy in the valley over the past period of time is his main goal of this trip.

If Chen Man really breaks through the Dharma image, then his special spiritual roots will definitely require him to break through here. Moreover, breaking through the Dharma image requires the support of a large amount of external spiritual energy. If this matter has really happened in the valley, then tracing the past spiritual energy changes can be found as evidence.
