As expected, the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land also knew that they could not be exposed to the extreme yin energy for long.
Thus, she had already prepared a special resting place for them.
That place was not only fortified with barrier forces but also contained a treasure specifically designed to suppress the extreme yin energy, making it impossible to feel the yin energy within that area.
After settling the people of the Red Robe Holy Land, the leader began leading Chu Feng deeper into the underground world, where the cold grew increasingly intense.
“Zhuanghong, go back,” the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land suddenly said, turning to Yin Zhuanghong.
“What?” Yin Zhuanghong was somewhat surprised, as her master rarely kept things from her.
Not allowing her to follow now felt as though something was being hidden from her, which caught her off guard.
“I said, go back,” the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land reiterated firmly.
“Yes.” Yin Zhuanghong dared not defy her master and turned to leave.
“Little friend Shura, please.”
After saying this, the leader continued to guide the way.
But as they proceeded, Chu Feng began to feel uneasy.
Ahead, not only was the frost thicker and the cold more intense, but the deeper they went, the darker the space became.
Chu Feng knew where he was heading.
If this place were a coffin, then Chu Feng was walking into it.
As Chu Feng had anticipated, when he reached the very centre of this place, even with his cultivation, he felt a chill and had to use martial power and barrier techniques to resist the extreme yin energy.
But that wasn’t the main point. The focus was on what appeared before Chu Feng.
There stood a massive table, covered with materials.
With one glance, Chu Feng could tell what kind of item these materials could be used to create.
They were materials related to souls.
These materials could stabilise a person’s soul and be used for healing.
At the same time, they were a deadly weapon, capable of seizing and destroying souls.
They had two extreme functions.
But whether used for healing or killing, the amount required would not be large.
Yet, the quantity on the table was tens of thousands of times more than what would normally be used.
“Little friend Shura, I’ll trouble you with this. Please fuse these materials into this.”
The leader of the Red Robe Holy Land handed Chu Feng a jar.
The jar looked somewhat worn, even bearing cracks that had been repaired, but it exuded an ancient aura, a treasure from ancient times.
Most importantly, Chu Feng could sense that the jar emitted the aura of living beings, likely crafted from the ashes of creatures.
If Chu Feng focused, he could even hear faint wails coming from the jar.
It was as if countless innocent souls were trapped within it.
Of course, it wasn’t that the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land had imprisoned people inside, but rather that the jar itself carried this kind of aura.
In ancient times, this jar was likely already like this.
Though Chu Feng didn’t know the jar’s exact purpose, he felt there was something sinister about it.
At this moment, Chu Feng recalled something.
Previously, the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land had spared no expense to make a bet with the Secret Cave Group Saints.
What she wanted was something called the Yin-Yang Soul-Locking Rope.
That day, to obtain the Yin-Yang Soul-Locking Rope, the leader had even been willing to wager the Red Robe Holy Land’s treasured artefact.
Later, Chu Feng had asked the Secret Cave Group Saints about the purpose of the Yin-Yang Soul-Locking Rope.
From them, Chu Feng learned that it was used to bind souls and, according to legend, could even bring the dead back to life.
Thinking back to this setup, which had been absorbing extreme yin energy for tens of thousands of years, resembling a coffin.
And considering the function of the Yin-Yang Soul-Locking Rope.
Along with the materials before him and this sinister jar.
All of this made Chu Feng feel that what the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land was planning might be something rather terrifying.
“Little friend Shura, what’s wrong? Is this task difficult for you?” the leader asked suddenly, noticing Chu Feng’s distraction.
“No, fusing them isn’t difficult, but these materials are somewhat special, so I’m a bit curious. May I ask, Senior, what you plan to do with them once they’re fused?” Chu Feng asked.
“Some things are not convenient to share with you, little friend. It’s best not to ask too much, as knowing others’ secrets may not always be a good thing.”
As she spoke, the leader’s face darkened, her gaze carrying a hint of threat.
It was as if, should Chu Feng press further, she might kill him on the spot.
To be honest, in that moment, even Chu Feng felt a twinge of panic.
“Hahaha!!!”
But suddenly, the leader burst into laughter.
“I was teasing you, little friend. Don’t take it seriously.”
“Rest assured, I’m using these materials to save someone, not to harm anyone,” she said to Chu Feng.
“Senior, you really scared me just now,” Chu Feng said, shaking his head helplessly. He hadn’t expected the leader to have such a playful side.
Afterwards, Chu Feng helped her fuse the materials.
“Little friend Shura, thank you so much for today.”
Watching the fused materials boil like water in the jar, the leader was filled with gratitude.
Though this was a simple task for Chu Feng, she knew that fusing these materials was no easy feat.
If it were an ordinary snake-patterned holy-robed spiritualist, they likely couldn’t have done it.
“Senior, actually, I have a question,” Chu Feng said.
“What is it, little friend Shura? Just ask,” the leader replied.
“Senior, do you know where I can find spiritual spring water?”
“Or rather, where can I buy spiritual spring water?”
Chu Feng asked.
Spiritual spring water was something that could enhance mental strength.
Though Chu Feng had received the inheritance of the Demon-Slaying Great Emperor and obtained a gem that could help him break through to the dragon-patterned holy-robed spiritualist level, he found that even his mental strength struggled to comprehend the gem.
Thus, Chu Feng wanted to use spiritual spring water to boost his mental power.
However, spiritual spring water was extremely rare, something one could only hope to encounter by chance, and Chu Feng needed a large quantity.
So, he asked the leader of the Red Robe Holy Land, hoping the overlord of the Reincarnation Upper Realm could offer some help.
