Chapter 1001 Crossing the Wasteland
The two bypassed Taiyin Peak and continued northward.
The ride was uneventful, but there were a couple of things worth mentioning.
For example, I met an iron-faced owl.
Among the sixth-order monsters, the iron-faced owl is quite strong. It is gray-green all over, but its head is black, and it has no mouth, eyes, and nose. It looks like it is wearing an iron mask, so Hence the name.
In Taiyin Mountain, iron-faced owls are extremely rare and well-known, because of its powerful strength, it is not only physically strong, but also spiritually powerful. I don't know how high it is, even the cultivators of the transformation of the gods dare not provoke, but the monks of the Yuanying realm almost run away when they see it, so they are also called black impermanence and life-threatening birds.
But even Tie Mian Xiao, who had claimed the lives of countless monks, could only persist for ten breaths under Zhou Shu's sword.
Tie Mianxiao's demon pill is very valuable. There is a saying in the world of cultivating immortals that "one pill becomes a baby".
There are also sharp claws and iron masks, which are also rare sixth-order materials, and they are not too far from the best.
Another example is the discovery of a ghost spring.
The ghost spring was originally a spiritual spring, but due to the incorporation of too many souls, the spring water gradually turned black, and the dead energy and spiritual energy were mixed together, inseparable.
But for Zhou Shu, the ghost spring is very valuable. In the puppet art he obtained, there are two kinds of powerful puppets, both of which need to use ghost spring water.
Compared with the spiritual springs everywhere, ghost springs are hard to come by, and cannot be formed without a great chance, not to mention this ghost spring in the Taiyin Mountains, which is as high as the sixth level, not to mention, at the bottom of the ghost spring, Zhou Shu also found two ghost orchids.
The ghost orchid condensed from the soul is also an extremely rare spiritual item, but only a few people with special physiques can use it.
Zhou Shu can't use them, but their value is extraordinary, they can be regarded as the best among the sixth-order spiritual objects, and those who need them will definitely pay unimaginable prices.
Passing through the Taiyin Mountains all the way, there is an endless wasteland in front of you.
Seeing the sun that they haven't seen for decades, both of them couldn't help but stop, feeling the sunshine around them, feeling refreshed for a while.
"It's finally out, my son."
"Um."
Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel pretty good, there is no rush when we get out, we can take it easy."
After traveling for a few days, the wasteland still had no end in sight.
Except for the weeds and shrubs that are seen from time to time, the rest of the place is full of withered yellow and boundless.
"My lord, is this Xiangru Wasteland?"
"Yes, Xiangru Wasteland occupies most of the southern part of Dongsheng Prefecture. Although there is a lot of spiritual energy here, there are more impurities, so it is not suitable for immortal cultivators to practice, but it is a paradise for monsters. Here, you may encounter sixth-order monsters. Even seventh-order monsters."
Zhu Xiaorou's heart tightened, "Oh, then we have to be careful."
Zhou Shu smiled and said confidently, "It's okay, we were lucky to meet each other. Speaking of which, I still hope to meet the seventh-order monster."
"Young master, don't say it so easily, that's the seventh step."
Zhu Xiaorou curled her lips, "Xiaorou doesn't want to see it, it's really scary."
"Don't worry, the seventh-level monsters are no longer ordinary monsters, and they will not easily attack immortal cultivators. At this stage, most of the monsters have turned into humans. As monsters, they are very close to human immortal cultivators. Begin to understand the principles of heaven, and will no longer regard immortal cultivators as mortal enemies, and they are all about to cross the catastrophe, and they only want to practice, how can they have the time to deal with us?"
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, and continued, "However, there are some exceptions, such as those with extraordinary talents, with the blood of ancient beasts and beasts, or those who are beasts and beasts themselves, they can survive the calamity even without transforming, so they They don’t learn from humans, and they don’t know how to change form. They have always maintained the nature of monsters, or in other words, they have maintained their dignity as divine beasts. This kind of monsters are indeed very unfriendly to cultivators.”
Zhu Xiaorou nodded, "That's right, there are still some seventh-level monsters that are not good to us humans. In short, you must be careful."
"It would be even better if we could meet those aliens."
Zhou Shu smiled subconsciously, with a lot of anticipation in his eyes, which seemed to glow with excitement.
Zhu Xiaorou glanced at him, but was speechless.
It's a pity that things didn't go as expected, until they passed through the Xiangru Wasteland, and didn't encounter any seventh-order monsters. This result made Zhu Xiaorou very happy, but Zhou Shu was a little disappointed.
But not for nothing.
The fifth-order monsters, the two used them to practice, killed many, and obtained many rare materials.
There are also some sixth-order monsters, all of which are shot by Zhou Shu. It can be said that he got a very good return without any effort.
Of course, there will be no shortage of spirit flowers, spirit grass, etc. Zhou Shu's spiritual sense plus the skillful use of earth spirits and wood spirits are not as good as Xiaogun, but it is not difficult to find some hidden treasures.
It's not surprising that he didn't meet the transformed monsters and monster races.
First, compared to the bottom of the sea, it is much more difficult to transform monsters on land. There are too many immortals, and they regard them as mortal enemies. Monsters have no way to fight against them. It is not so easy to transform into a stable form. Otherwise, the Sea Clan would not be independent from the Monster Clan and become a separate race. The blue is better than the blue. As far as the transformed monsters are concerned, the number of the Sea Clan is many times larger than that of the Monster Clan.
Second, most of the transformed monsters will gather together to form large and small groups, or they will encounter a bunch, or they will not encounter any of them.
At the end of the wilderness, the ground became more and more barren. Before, we could see some weeds and short trees, but now we could hardly see anything.
The wind and sand are all over the sky, and most of the yellow land is sandy.
"My lord, are we almost reaching the boundless desert?"
Zhu Xiaorou wondered softly, after all, she has spent a lot of time in Dongsheng Prefecture, and she is quite familiar with it.
Zhou Shu nodded, "Well, the past is the Boundless Desert. Afterwards, we have to prepare to turn west. When we pass through the Boundless Desert, we will reach the Daqin Mountains, and after passing through the Heavenly Sword Gate, we will be Cihangzong."
"My lord, we can see Yangmei now."
Zhu Xiaorou said softly, showing a lot of joy.
She knew enough about Zhou Shu, and she had thought clearly before becoming a Taoist couple. Since both of them became Taoist couples, they would accept everything from Zhou Shu, including Zhou Shu's other Taoist couples. He also understood that Zhou Shu would not let anyone down.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is normal for the strong to have many Taoist companions, especially in Chongyang Palace where Zhu Xiaorou lives. Many people have several Taoist companions, and the master of Chongyang Palace is no exception. companion.
Of course, it's only one-sided, and there won't be a situation where both Taoist couples have other Taoist couples.
"She left the customs not long ago, and now she has reached the state of transformation."
Zhou Shu looked into the distance, and unconsciously smiled, "It's really unexpected that Yangmei will be the one with the highest cultivation base among us."
Indeed, no one would have guessed that the little girl back then is now a cultivator of the God Transformation Realm, less than a hundred years old.
