Chapter 400 Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Liquid

Looking for Mudongtian.

A large settlement somewhere.

"Welcome the envoy."

On the outskirts of the settlement, more than a dozen dark brown spirits were bowing respectfully to a man with emerald green skin.

Those who live underground are all lower-class spirits, and their skin color is dark all year round. Only the upper-class spirits who live on the treetops have emerald green skin color, which is very distinct from each other and easy to identify.

Generally speaking, upper-class spirits live on the treetops and rarely go underground. The only time they come underground is to collect offerings from various underground tribes, and they usually come only once a year.

"How is the harvest this year?"

The upper-class spirit in charge of emerald green stood in the field with his hands behind his back. Facing the bows of many lower-class spirits, there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

The aura around him was also much stronger than those of the lower-class spirits. He exuded a little pressure all the time. The internal breath he exhaled and breathed interacted with the heaven and earth. If measured by Daxuan's martial arts realm, he would be a five-organ realm existence.

Five-organ realm.

This is one of the standards for becoming a superior spirit.

Unless you are born on the tree canopy and are born as a superior spirit, otherwise, if the inferior spirits born underground want to leave the ground and climb the tree canopy, then practicing to the level of the five-organ realm is the most basic condition.

"Reply to the envoy, this year's harvest is slightly worse than in previous years. Only twenty earth spirit fruits were harvested."

The old spirit who was the head of the settlement knelt down respectfully to the superior spirit in response.

As he said.

Then a female spirit in the settlement came over respectfully holding a wooden tray, and saw that the wooden tray was piled with spirit fruits only the size of a baby's fist, with a little green luster.

The Earth Spirit Fruit is a spiritual fruit that can only be cultivated underground with the help of the root system of the Xunmu tree. The cultivation process is extremely tedious and complicated. Even in large settlements, at most 20 to 30 fruits can be harvested each year, and basically all of them must be paid as tribute.

"Well, it's a little less."

The Spirit Man Clan envoy frowned slightly, looking at the Earth Spirit Fruit piled on the wooden tray, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

He cast his eyes on the many inferior spirits in front of him, and was about to criticize them, but suddenly thought of something, shook his head slightly in his heart, and then slowly said: "Since the harvest is poor, let's just leave it this year, and you will pass the test."

"But you all have to be careful next time, it's almost time for the evil demons from outer space to descend. If you encounter evil demons, do everything you can to pass the news as quickly as possible!"

The Spirit Man Clan envoy said with suppressed eyes.

This sentence immediately changed the faces of many low-level spirits nearby. The old spirit who was in the lead also had a trembling look and said, "Are those evil demons... coming again?"

"It will probably be soon."

The spirit leader responded calmly, then reached out to take the wooden plate and put away the earth spirit fruits one by one.

In fact, he didn't care much about the lives of the low-level spirits. Even if some of these settlements were slaughtered by those evil demons from outer space, it would not be a bad thing for the spirit people. It could naturally eliminate some useless low-quality spirits and save some survival resources for the spirit people to feed their high-level spirits.

It was precisely because of this that every hundred years, when the evil demons invaded, the various areas on the tree canopy would strengthen their vigilance, and some settlements near the edge would even temporarily evacuate and relocate to gather at larger nodes, while the underground would not change.

At most, like him, they would give a notice in advance and would not spend a lot of effort to specially relocate and protect these spirit settlements living on the periphery.

After taking away all the earth spirit fruits.

The spirit envoy's eyes became calmer. After glancing at everyone, he walked away without saying much nonsense.

"See you off, envoy."

The old spirit and many other spirits were worried, but they didn't dare to say much. They all bowed and sent him off, and then quickly began to discuss how to deal with the invasion of evil spirits.

...

The green-skinned spirit envoy walked through the underground caves.

In previous years, when he came to such a remote place to collect offerings, he would stay and enjoy for two days. Although he didn't look down on these low-level spirits, it was rare to run so far, so it was reasonable to enjoy for a few days. However, it was a crisis recently. This peripheral area was full of dangers. He didn't know when he would run into those aliens who invaded this world, so he wouldn't stay for too long.

But.

Just after he passed through a wide passage, he suddenly stopped.

He stared ahead with his green eyes, and his pupils shrank visibly. He saw a figure in front of him. Whether it was the skin color or the appearance, he was completely different from the spirit people. Although he could not sense the breath of the other person, he broke out in a cold sweat.

A person from outside the sky!

When he collected the earth spirit fruit just now, he clearly asked the people of the tribe. There was no abnormal situation recently. How could a person from outside the sky suddenly appear here and block his way forward? !

The spirit envoy almost did not think about it. The whole body was instantly glowing with green light. A breath of internal energy was mobilized, and the whole person seemed to turn into a fish swimming in the world, and he was about to shuttle and escape.

But.

Before he took a step.

He saw the figure opposite him standing with his hands behind his back, a glimmer of light in his eyes, and the power of the nearby heaven and earth suddenly solidified, and a terrifying pressure permeated. Almost in an instant, the spirit envoy was oppressed to kneel on the ground!

"With this appearance, are you a high-ranking spiritual person?"

Chen Mu casually glanced at the spiritual envoy in front of him. He had also heard about the fact that the spiritual people were divided into upper and lower clans and was not surprised. However, he was a little surprised when he met the upper clan spiritual people underground. .

He was still following Yan Hong and others, and he had just arrived at the large settlement. However, when Yan Hong and others took action, he noticed some unusual signs in the fluctuations between heaven and earth, so I followed him all the way, and sure enough I caught a different character.

The words are spoken.

But Chen Mu did not let the spiritual envoy answer. Instead, he just stepped in and with a simple stroke of his fingertips, the pocket carried by the spiritual envoy was torn open, revealing one of the emerald green fruits. .

"Hmm, is it really the Earth Spirit Fruit?"

Seeing this pile of green fruits, Chen Mu did not show any surprise.

The Earth Spirit Fruit is a unique product of Xunmu Cave Heaven. It is also a kind of heaven and earth spiritual creature. It is quite similar to the Earth Element Green Lotus Seed. After swallowing it, it can enhance the understanding of heaven and earth.

certainly.

This is not the most critical thing. The most important thing is that the Earth Spirit Fruit happens to be one of the spiritual objects used together with the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid. It can increase the effectiveness of the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid. Although he does not have the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in his hand yet, But it was only a matter of time to get some. Being able to get some Earth Spirit Fruits in advance would naturally be a harvest for him, and the trip was not in vain.

After putting away all the earth spirit fruits, Chen Mu looked at the spirit envoy, only to see that he was suppressed and kneeling on the ground, trying to struggle all the time. There was even more hatred in his eyes, and he spoke with difficulty. Talking about something.

"……die."

Although Chen Mu couldn't understand human language, he could still roughly tell that the other party was cursing.

"Tell me where there is Xunmu Spiritual Liquid nearby, and I might be able to spare your life."

Chen Mu asked lightly to the other party. Although he didn't understand the language, his words went straight into the other party's ears. With the cultivation and realm of this spiritual envoy, it should not be difficult to understand his words.

However, after hearing Chen Mu's words, the other party didn't react much. He still looked at Chen Mu with hatred in his eyes and kept repeating the previous few curse words in his mouth.

boom.

When Chen Mu saw this, he didn't bother to torture him. With a casual squeeze, the power of the nearby heaven and earth squeezed inward. With a bang, the spiritual envoy was crushed into powder and turned into dust and scattered on the ground. No bones or blood were left behind.

After killing the spirit envoy, Chen Mu stepped forward with a calm expression, and his figure quickly disappeared into the cave. He returned all the way, and after a while, he returned to the previous settlement of the spirit people.

now.

The whole settlement was in a mess, with corpses of spirit beings everywhere.

This large settlement, with about a thousand people living together, was naturally defenseless against the attacks of Yan Hong and many other masters, and was completely wiped out almost instantly.

At this time, Yan Hong, Yan Zhengyang and many other masters were gathering in the center of the tribe, and they saw an extremely thick Xunmu root system running across the place, penetrating the cave from bottom to top.

This extremely thick Xunmu root system, which is thick enough for several people to hold it together, has many chiseling marks on its surface. It was obviously destroyed by Yan Zhengyang and others, and it penetrated for about several feet.

Yan Hong stood right in front of the crack, inserted a hand into the crack, closed her eyes, and the Yuan Gang and inner energy around her body were constantly surging, as if competing with the thick Xunmu roots. What are you wearing?

About a moment later.

Uh-huh!

Yan Hong pulled her palm out of the broken root system of Xun Mu.

A small ball of emerald green spiritual liquid appeared in her palm, exuding a little bit of fluorescence. With only a rough perception, she could sense the rich vitality and rich spiritual power of heaven and earth contained in it.

Xunmu spirit liquid!

Looking at the small ball of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in his hand, Yan Hong finally showed a smile on his face.

Only this kind of extremely strong and very special root system node can extract the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid from it. Now that I have arrived at Xunmu Cave, I have finally had my first harvest.

And the extremely thick Xunmu root system, which she refined and extracted the Xunmu spiritual fluid, was obviously dimmed at this time, and became dull, especially near the cracks that were dug, it showed a... Some signs of dryness.

"Not bad."

Yan Zhengyang looked at the small ball of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in Yan Hong's hand and couldn't help but smile a little, saying: "This portion is almost two taels."

Although Xunmu Spiritual Liquid is quite precious, it is not calculated in drops, but in pounds. However, having two ounces of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid is considered valuable. Most of the people present, The required amount of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid is only about two or three kilograms.

This group alone meets one-tenth of a person's needs.

However, if it is spread out and evenly distributed to everyone, it will not be too much, or even slightly less.

"Your Highness, I see that as we pass each settlement one by one, the harvesting efficiency is really too slow. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Spirit Human Race has not yet reacted, and we will split up for a round, and then reunite when we are about to go deep into the hinterland."

After a moment of pondering, a grandmaster suggested to Yan Hong.

The Xunmu Cave has only been opened once in more than a hundred years. This is basically the first time for everyone to step in, so they are naturally more cautious. However, they have not encountered any trouble or danger along the way. It is also quite easy to collect the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid. There are people Not satisfied with efficiency.

After all, there are nearly 20 masters present. It will take a long time to get enough Xunmu Spiritual Liquid if they continue to explore like this. It is better to split up temporarily and sweep an area at the fastest speed.

After all, we are still on the outskirts of Xunmu Cave Heaven, and the only threat here is the old ancestor of the Spiritual People. If we split up temporarily, the possibility of running into the old ancestor of the Spiritual People is not great.

As soon as this proposal came out, others immediately agreed.

Yan Hong held the ball of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid, but he hesitated for a moment, looked at Yan Zhengyang, and said:

"What do you think, Mr. Yan?"

"Although there are risks, we can give it a try."

Yan Zhengyang responded after a brief thought.

There are more than one or two masters entering Xunmu Cave Heaven. There are hundreds of people in the team. At this moment, I am afraid that some people will directly kill to the treetops and attack the settlements of those superior spirit people to compete for Xunmu Spiritual Liquid.

Although the Spiritual Ancestor is dangerous, he is only one person after all, and he cannot split himself up. Now they are underground and on the periphery, and their actions are all deliberately concealed and restrained, so the possibility of attracting the Spiritual Ancestor is indeed not great.

If they are moving above the treetops, it is indeed better not to disperse, but there is no need to be too vigilant underground for the time being.

"Okay."

Yan Hong nodded slightly after hearing what Yan Zhengyang said, looked at the people in the field, and said: "If you want to act separately, you can do so for the time being, and return here to reunite in two days."

They entered Xunmu Cave Heaven. Even if they were well hidden, two days would be enough for the Spiritual People to react. By then, the situation would become much more dangerous, and then it would be best to reunite and act together.

"Okay."

After hearing Yan Hong's words, someone immediately responded, and then did not hesitate to delay, and fled into the distance in a flash.

Chen Mu came a little later, but he also heard the previous discussion, but he did not react. Instead, he cast his eyes on the ball of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in Yan Hong's hand. After a brief observation, he asked Yan Hong for a portion.

Yan Hong did not refuse. With a light stroke of her fingertips, she separated a small portion and dropped it on Chen Mu.

"Xunmu Spiritual Liquid..."

Chen Mu stared at the spiritual liquid in his palm. After a brief inspection, he opened his mouth slightly, separated a drop from it and swallowed it into his stomach, and quickly digested it. He was not in a hurry to use this little bit of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid to temper his body, but temporarily measured the effect.

While digesting this drop of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid, he called up the system interface and took a look.

The effect is indeed good. According to the increase in experience, only about ten kilograms of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid is enough for him to temper his Qiankun Wuti to the perfect level. If he has some earth spirit fruits in his hand, the demand will be less.
