Xuan Root is exceedingly rare, one in a hundred miles, and Spirit Root is even rarer, one in a thousand miles.
Ah Piao saw that Xin Lin had no root inside her body, but at Xin Lin's insistence, Ah Piao still passed on the Spiritual Formulas of the Ghost Escape Technique to Xin Lin.
A dead horse is treated as alive - it is better than waiting for death in place.
A quarter of an hour later, Xin Lin had memorized the Spiritual Formulas by heart.
She chanted it silently a few times, ensuring that nothing would go wrong.
"I will demonstrate first. Ghost shapes are endless, esc—ape!"
Ah Piao disappeared from Xin Lin's sight.
Xin Lin also began to silently chant the Spiritual Formulas, concentrating her mind and focusing her consciousness, recalling what Ah Piao had said.
True Qi resides in the Dantian, Spiritual Power is born in the Sea of Consciousness.
When you feel a mysterious fluctuation in the Sea of Consciousness, that's Spiritual Power.
She murmured once and opened her eyes, only to find herself still in the same spot.
Not giving up, she tried again and again, but still remained in the same place after three or four attempts.
"Back where you came from, you better just leave the cave,"
Ah Piao couldn't wait for Xin Lin any longer and returned.
Xin Lin was not discouraged; there was still some time before dawn.
She repeated the Spiritual Formulas over and over, but could not feel even a trace of the fluctuation of Spiritual Power in her mind.
"Release the Wolf Mastiffs into the cave; that little thief must already be dead."
Elder Yuan's voice sounded at the right moment.
Outside the cave, Elder Yuan patted the head of the Wolf Mastiff. He was cautious, wanting to check on Xin Lin's fate and also to make sure the Corpse King in the Copper Coffin was still suppressed by Yin Sha.
A dark shadow rushed into the cave, and the figure of the large Wolf Mastiff leaped into view.
Seeing Xin Lin, it bared its teeth, and with a sudden leap of its limbs like a small mountain, it pounced towards Xin Lin.
The Wolf Mastiff was only inches away, and the violent, bloody smell from its body made Xin Lin nauseous.
Her eyebrows tightly knotted, she suddenly felt a cool sensation in her abdomen rising.
Something in her mind seemed to "ding," and the well-memorized Spiritual Formulas slipped from her mouth, and Xin Lin suddenly vanished.
The Wolf Mastiff, caught off guard, crashed into the mountain wall, stones tumbled down, and it staggered dizzyingly.
"She actually succeeded? But she clearly doesn't have a Spirit Root?"
Ah Piao was shocked, having prepared to collect Xin Lin's corpse, but the next moment, Ah Piao gasped in a breath of cold air.
Deep within the Ghost Cave, an uneasy roar full of Yin Sha echoed.
"I knew it; Heaven has eyes, I cannot be so unlucky."
Xin Lin succeeded with the Ghost Escape; she secretly rejoiced.
The moment her feet touched the ground, Xin Lin suddenly heard a sharp howl that hurt her eardrums.
It was a twisted face, with nothing in the eye sockets, a red tongue hanging at the corner of the mouth, limbs as thin as sticks, exuding an ominous Dark Evil Qi.
Several Yin Sha pounced towards Xin Lin.
In Xin Lin's heart, a myriad of grass-mud horses raced by.
She meant to use Ghost Escape next to the Copper Coffin, but somehow ended up in the midst of Yin Sha without being careful.
Being hungry all night, the Yin Sha in the Ghost Cave were already restless and irritable. The moment they smelled a living person, Xin Lin was like a drop of oil in a pot of boiling water, setting off all the Yin Sha in the Ghost Cave.
They howled and surged from all directions.
Xin Lin's scalp tingled as she ran.
"I forgot, if you're not Skilled with the Ghost Escape Technique, you might end up in the wrong place."
Ah Piao circled overhead Xin Lin with a sorrowful face.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"I forgot."
"Why are they all chasing me?"
"You look tastier."
Xin Lin was so dejected she almost suffered internal injuries, scanning over the densely packed Yin Sha, she dodged east and west. She could evade momentarily but not forever; the number of Yin Sha seemed to be increasing instead.
