Chapter 173 Purple Bodhi, Poisonous Fog Descends, Either on the Ground or Underground

“Look for more.

If we can't find it, we won't be too demanding. We can look for it for another day at most.

One day later, the first poisonous fog came. If we haven't found it yet, we set off for Jiuchong Mountain.

There is definitely a fourth-grade spiritual plant there.

Even if you can't monopolize it, if you can pick tea leaves that are one to two thousand years old, it will be considered a worthwhile trip. "

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xishan really spoke and said with excitement.

“Then why don’t we go there now?

Wouldn't it be a pity if we were late and all the Enlightenment Teas were picked? "

At this time, Qu Ying couldn't help but ask.

“You can’t pick it now.

That Earth Demon Bear is not a vegetarian.

At least five early-stage foundation-building monks need to join forces to dare to fight.

Even if it passes now, I can only wait..."

Liu Xishan obviously had a plan in mind, he shook his head and said: "Generally speaking, the foundation-building monks who enter the Divine Wind Valley have a tacit understanding.

That is to treat the five days before the first poisonous fog as a period for collecting treasures.

During this period, no matter which team they were in, they tried their best to collect all kinds of spiritual materials, spiritual treasures, and foundation-building spiritual objects.

After the fifth day, when the poisonous mist comes for the first time, you will consider going to the places where the fourth-grade spiritual plants are located, which is the core of the spiritual veins in the four major regions.

Because any area where a fourth-grade spiritual plant is located will be guarded by a certain number of powerful monsters.

Generally speaking, they are the most powerful monsters in each region.

For example, the earth demon bear in Jiuchong Mountain, the bloodthirsty wolf in the black jungle, the purple ink poisonous mango in the poisonous fog swamp, and the flying condor in the Yellowstone territory.

The weakest of these monsters are those in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm or above.

Fighting alone, no Foundation Establishment monk can be his opponent. "

As Liu Xishan spoke, his eyes suddenly froze and he looked in a distant direction.

Only then did he look away, with a look of confusion on his face.

Zhou Changwang escaped quietly and sighed in his heart. The perception of the Foundation Establishment monk was really sharp. He just subconsciously set his eyes on the other party and was noticed by him immediately.

Fortunately, he had been maintaining breath-containing techniques, invisibility techniques and other methods, so he was not exposed.

"It turns out that those Foundation Establishment monks have long understood the situation in the Divine Wind Valley.

We know that spiritual plants of fourth grade and above can only be found in the spiritual vein cores of the four major regions. "

After leaving, Zhou Changwang's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

But think about it, he himself can understand the art of ranking, find dragons and point acupoints, and use the mountain and river topography map to see the spiritual structure of the entire Kamikaze Valley. Naturally, other people can also do it.

Not to mention, such a hunt in the Kamikaze Valley happens once every ten years and has been carried out ten times.

"However, in the spiritual core of this black forest, there is actually a bloodthirsty wolf that is above the middle stage of foundation establishment.

It seems that it is not that easy to successfully obtain the possible fourth-grade spiritual plant.

Not to mention, fifty years ago, a fourth-grade spiritual plant, the Divine Power Fruit, was born here, and it was taken over by Ye Yanxiu, the owner of Kamikaze Valley Square City.

In fifty years, there is no guarantee that a fourth-grade spiritual plant will be born again here..."

Zhou Changwang was calculating in his mind, but his face didn't change much.

He didn't have much hope for this.

When encountering foundation-building monsters on the road, they try to avoid them as much as possible. Naturally, they will not fight monsters that are above the middle stage of foundation-building because of fourth-grade spiritual plants.

That's not taking a chance, that's seeking death.

He still adhered to his previous ideas, exploring the terrain along the way, checking the direction of the earth's energy, and observing the spiritual vein nodes...

Pieces of third-grade spiritual plants were also collected by him.

"Um?

The aura here is obviously much richer.

It seems that I have entered the center of this black forest, the core area of ​​the spiritual veins. "

The moment Zhou Changwang stepped into a certain area, he sensed something was wrong around him and immediately understood.

This is the core area of ​​the spiritual veins of the black jungle.

He followed the direction of the influx of earth energy, observed the direction of the spiritual veins, and after judging the new spiritual vein nodes, he approached it carefully.

After dozens of breaths passed, his eyes lit up.

"Third grade spiritual plant, Purple Bodhi.

This is a good thing to enhance qi and blood and strengthen the physical strength.

This Purple Bodhi takes three hundred years to grow, fifty years to bloom, and fifty years to bear fruit. It takes a full four hundred years to fully mature.

This purple bodhi tree has already produced bodhi fruits, and there are nine bodhi fruits in total. It has grown for almost 380 or 390 years.

There is only more than ten years of growth time left before maturity. "

Zhou Changwang muttered, his eyes naturally searching for the companion monsters around him immediately.

Under the derivation technique, he sensed the source of the danger earlier, so he soon discovered the traces of the monster beast.

"Foundation-building monster, black leopard!"

Even though the other party was hiding very deep, he happened to be hiding on a big tree.

The tree was completely black, even the leaves were black. It was the most common black fir tree in this dark forest, but Zhou Changwang could still see through the opponent's concealment at a glance.

“It’s a little tricky.

The foundation-building realm monster is not as easy to deal with as the first-level high-level monsters. "

Even though he said this, Zhou Changwang did not give up.

If you can't fight, run away.

Although this black-striped leopard is also a foundation-building realm monster, in his opinion, it is still weaker than the blue-eyed poisonous Yanmang he killed before.

…

The black leopard was hiding among the black fir trees as usual, lying there leisurely and very comfortably.

As the top hunter in Kamikaze Valley, it has no worries about going hungry.

Every day, it only needs to hide in the treetops and carefully hide itself, and countless fools will see the purple bodhi tree and quickly approach here.

And every time this time, it only needs to pounce down, and it can basically have a full meal without going out to look for food again.

The only thing that made it a little distressed was that the poisonous fog had dissipated again.

Whenever this happens, there will be a group of hateful guys coming to disturb its life.

I remember that last time, a group of people came over. The leader was so difficult that they were all injured and it took them several years to recover.

Fortunately, the group of people turned into its snacks in the end, giving it a very satisfying meal.

The smell, just thinking about it, makes me miss it a bit.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up.

Someone is coming?

Did he know that Mr. Bao was hungry and came here to deliver food?

But why is this person a little strange? He's jumping up and down, a little abnormal.

No matter, let’s have a full meal first.

Without any hesitation at all, it rushed out and slapped the man hard with its claws.

puff!

The figure was instantly shattered into pieces and turned into a ball of yin energy.

The black leopard was immediately confused. Isn't it a human?

Then the next moment, it went dark and couldn't see anything. Instinctively, it moved and rushed to the side. However, it only felt its body sinking, as if a huge weight fell on it, and then it felt that it had hit the ground. He was trapped in a cage and was locked in it.

Boom!

The next moment, endless thunder and lightning quickly struck it.

"Roar!"

The black-striped leopard roared angrily, and with a wave of its claws, it shattered the cage. Just as it was about to escape, it saw three flying swords rushing towards it in a zigzag pattern.

Bang!

Its body paused, and the endless pressure came again, and then its eyes went dark again, and then the familiar cage landed.

Then it suddenly raised its head, sprayed out from its mouth, and endless wind blew out of its mouth instantly.

Sure enough, in the void, endless thunder and lightning crashed down again, colliding with its strong wind.

It was just that it guarded the top, but failed to guard the bottom. Three flying swords flew across its body quickly.

Bah, bah, bah!

Mars is everywhere!

Its fur is so tough that if a normal flying sword falls on it, even the fur will be difficult to break.

However, two of the flying swords were very sharp.

puff! puff!

One slashed its throat directly, and the other stabbed it hard along its ears.

Suddenly its raised head suddenly dropped.

The next moment, it felt pain in its eyes again, and then fell into endless darkness.

died!

quick! quick! quick!

Zhou Changwang took advantage of the situation and jumped down from a big tree, with a look of surprise on his face.

He also didn't expect that this time he killed the great demon of the Foundation Establishment Realm so smoothly.

First, he used the magic talisman to summon a hairy zombie to attract the opponent's attention, and then took the opportunity to use the Black Sky Technique, Gravity Technique, and Dungeon Technique. Xiao Wu Xing Qian Lei Technique, Xiao San Cai Sword Technique...

Every spell can be said to be extremely fast, and it can always play its due role just right.

So much so that the black-striped leopard fell and died in his hands without even noticing his figure.

"Maybe I'm stronger than I thought?"

Zhou Changwang muttered, and followed the same pattern, peeling off the black leopard's demon pill and fur, and then used the spirit-stealing technique.

One can, two cans, three cans...

A full five jars of monster spirit liquid were extracted by him.

After using the fireball technique to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces, Zhou Changwang came to the purple bodhi tree.

"Five purple bodhis are only one step away from maturity.

However, judging from the marks on the fruit tree, this Purple Bodhi tree should have originally produced nine Purple Bodhi trees.

Unfortunately, four of them were picked in advance and eaten secretly.

If my guess is correct, it should have fallen into the mouth of this black leopard. Otherwise, although its fur is tough, it cannot be penetrated by my high-grade magic weapon flying sword. "

Although Zhou Changwang felt a little regretful, he also knew that this was inevitable.

Although in fact the monsters also know that this purple bodhi must have the best effect after it is mature.

But Purple Bodhi grows there, exuding an alluring fragrance every day. How can ordinary monsters endure it?

This black-striped leopard was able to leave behind five Purple Bodhis, which was already very rare and valuable at this time.

“The tree is three hundred and eighty-seven years old, and it is only thirteen years before it matures in the four hundred year period.

It is quite fast to cultivate. "

Zhou Changwang calmed down and quickly used the annual ring technique.

Then, without any hesitation, he quickly poured the demonic beast's spiritual fluid that he had just extracted from the black leopard's flesh into the Purple Bodhi Tree.

While pouring in the spirit liquid of the monster, he also cast a spell to increase the growth ring time of the fruit tree.

One year, two years, three years...

Soon, the age of the Purple Bodhi Tree was increased to more than 390 years.

Then three hundred and ninety-one years, three hundred and ninety-two years, three hundred and ninety-three years...

“Sure enough, the longer the growth rings last, the more monster spirit liquid needs to be consumed.

The demonic beast spirit fluid just extracted from this black leopard was not enough. "

Zhou Changwang quickly took out some more monster spirit fluid and poured it into the fruit tree.

Then, as he used his last annual ring technique.

Buzz~!

The growth ring time of the Purple Bodhi tree quickly exceeded the limit of three hundred years and reached the four hundred year ring time.

Immediately afterwards, the power of endless essence was quickly poured into the five purple bodhis growing on the fruit tree.

Immediately, the five purple bodhis turned completely into pure purple, became big and round, and were filled with alluring fragrance.

At the same time, auspiciousness descended, and pure power of creation was immediately born in the void and spread around.

Zhou Changwang quickly ran the Pure Yang Five Elements Skill crazily, quickly absorbing the pure power of creation, and then summoned his spirit dog Xiao Heizi and the spirit insect Golden Armor King Feichan to enjoy the power of creation together. of baptism.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Suddenly, Zhou Changwang's heart moved and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Almost instantly, he saw a group of people rushing towards this side in the distance.

Zhou Changwang also knew the leader and had dealt with him.

It is the young boss Ye Ping'an, the son of the boss of Kamikaze Valley Shop City.

Next to him was a Foundation Establishment monk who was also a member of the Ye family. It was said that he was Ye Ping'an's second uncle and the younger brother of the shop owner Ye Yanxiu, Ye Qianyuan.

In addition to these two people, there are seven or eight people who either belong to the Ye family monks or some strong casual cultivators who follow Ye Ping'an, and all of them are very strong.

Obviously, they were all attracted by the auspicious aura generated by the mature Purple Bodhi.

At this time, when they saw the five purple bodhis growing on the fruit trees, their faces showed excitement. One of them, Ye Pingan, shouted loudly and said: "I am Ye Pingan, the son of the owner of the workshop. If you are willing to give these five If you offer Purple Bodhi, I will accept you and let you work behind me.

He also recruited you to serve as a worshiper of the Ye family and enjoy all the benefits of cultivation. "

Zhou Changwang ignored them, reached out and quickly picked out all five purple bodhis, quickly put them into a jade box, and sealed them with a sealing talisman.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and quickly put away the spirit dog and the golden-armored king Feichan, and then used the divine movement technique to the extreme, quickly turning into a spiritual light, and quickly ran into the endless dense forest.

"Stop! Stop!"

Seeing this, Ye Pingan suddenly became angry and shouted sharply.

"How brave, where can you run?"

Foundation Establishment Realm monk Ye Qianyuan's expression also changed. He threw his flying sword and his whole body immediately jumped up.

Then he quickly chased in the direction of Zhou Changwang.

However, the Black Forest lives up to its name.

There are many trees and dense shrubs here.

Zhou Changwang's speed is already extremely fast. He casts three spells at the same time: Breath Condensation Technique, Invisibility Technique, and Earth Evasion Technique. As long as the opponent's consciousness cannot lock him, even the Foundation Establishment monks will find it difficult to track him. superior.

Therefore, after a while, Ye Qianyuan turned back and sighed: "Let him run away."

"Second uncle, it's not your fault.

I also saw his speed, it was indeed extremely fast.

If the second uncle didn't fly with a sword, he might not be able to catch up.

It's normal to run away.

However, even though this man covered his face with a straw hat, a magic weapon, for some reason, he always gave me a sense of familiarity.

Maybe, seen before? "

Ye Ping'an waved his hand and said with relief.

Although he was interested in the Purple Bodhi and hoped to use the Purple Bodhi to enhance his physical strength, it was not necessary.

As the son of the boss, he has many similar treasures to strengthen his body, and he is also not short of various resources.

It's just that the treasure that appeared in front of him disappeared all of a sudden, which made him a little unwilling.

That's why he focused his attention on that figure. It felt vaguely familiar.

I just recalled it carefully, but I still couldn't recall it.

“In the city, any strong person will always show up.

This person is at the ninth level of Qi training. He is not weak in strength and is so fast. He is most likely a strong monk we know in Fang City.

It's familiar and quite normal.

Moreover, even if he is an unknown hidden strong man.

But just now we have seen two of his spiritual pets, a black spiritual dog, and another one that seems to be a spiritual insect, the golden armored king Feichan?

With such characteristics, we can quickly identify this person once he appears again in the future. "

Ye Qianyuan looked calm and spoke.

"Second uncle is right.

At that time, when I stand in front of him again, I really want to know what his reaction will be. "

Ye Pingan smiled slightly, his face full of confidence.

…

"Accept? Follow? Become a worshiper of the Ye family?"

Zhou Changwang's figure emerged from the ground, with a sneer on his face.

When he first appeared in the black market as Master Fenghua, the master of talisman making, the young master Ye Pingan made such a promise, but he rejected it at that time.

Coming again now?

It seems that this is his usual trick.

If it were an ordinary monk, he might be moved.

After all, it is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Becoming a Ye family worshiper means that you can almost be successful in the market of Shenfeng Valley.

However, Zhou Changwang did not care. His strength and means all depend on his own efforts.

No matter what kind of force he joins, as long as he can practice in peace, it makes little difference to him.

Then, Zhou Changwang did not stay there for long. He used geomancy again, the secret method of finding dragon points, and observing the spiritual veins and earth energy.

Soon, he found another spiritual vein node.

It's just a pity that someone got there first.

Then the second place, the third place...

"The spiritual vein nodes around the core of the black dense forest spiritual vein have almost been plundered by others.

Now there is only..."

Zhou Changwang's eyes flickered, and after thinking about it, he still approached.

After an incense stick.

Zhou Changwang hid on the top of a big tree and looked far away at a valley ten miles away.

A huge monster with a height of two feet and extremely agile limbs suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bloodthirsty wolf!

A monster in the middle stage of foundation building!"

Zhou Changwang looked at the other party. Even if he just stood there, he gave people a sense of shock.

Moreover, there were many wolf monsters around it.

Obviously, they were all led by it and occupied a large area around it.

"If the fourth-grade spiritual plant was really born around its nest, there is no need to think about it. It is impossible to get it.

Unless, as Liu Xishan said before, at least five cultivators above the foundation building stage joined forces..."

Zhou Changwang just watched from a distance and knew that it was impossible for him to snatch the so-called fourth-grade spiritual plant under the other party's nose.

To snatch food from the tiger's mouth, it depends on what kind of tiger it is.

In the end, don't let yourself get the food but instead give the other party a human snack...

"Diyin Lingzhi, Bicolor Flower, Root of Mother Earth, Tianhe Lingguo, Flower of Darkness... three kinds of foundation-building spiritual objects, and two third-grade spiritual materials.

That is to say, there are five third-grade spiritual materials around the bloodthirsty wolf's lair..."

While watching, Zhou Changwang also used the spiritual eye technique to continuously explore the spiritual materials around it.

He almost didn't miss any corner, and changed his position from time to time.

Finally confirmed.

"There is no fourth-grade spiritual plant!"

I don't know whether it is fortunate or regretful.

In this way.

I feel relieved.

Without a fourth-grade spiritual plant, he naturally doesn't have to take risks to provoke this bloodthirsty wolf.

In fact, this is also the thought of most of the cultivators who watched from afar.

They hid in the distance early and observed everything around them.

After discovering that there were no fourth-grade spiritual plants, they naturally retreated.

This includes the Qingyuan Sect group that Zhou Changwang met before.

Zhou Changwang also planned to leave.

His eyes then moved away from the foundation-building monster.

Then, because he was standing at a relatively high position at this time, he happened to see the route he had taken all the way from Jiuchong Mountain.

He saw the locations of the spiritual vein nodes that he had marked and picked spiritual plants.

"If each spiritual vein node is a base point of the array, then the location of the true eye should be the core of the entire black dense forest.

It is the most likely place for the birth of fourth-grade spiritual plants.

But why, from my position, the array eye of the entire black dense forest, or the center of the spiritual vein, is not the location of the bloodthirsty wolf's nest?"

Zhou Changwang was stunned.

Since he learned the array, mastered the geomancy, found dragon points, and obtained the map of mountains and rivers, he understood one thing more.

That is, everything has rules.

The extension and direction of the spiritual vein will follow a unique rule.

Its real core area must be the place where countless earth energy and spiritual energy converge.

It is the absolute center of the entire spiritual vein.

But he used his spiritual eyes to look at it at this time. According to the direction of the surrounding ground energy and spiritual energy, the center of the entire black dense forest, although very close to the lair of the bloodthirsty wolf, is not there.

To be specific, it is at least ten miles away.

Although they belong to the core area of ​​the spiritual vein, they belong to the two poles of this area, belonging to two extremes.

"Where is the real node of the core of the spiritual vein?

The gathering place of ground energy, spiritual energy, and the power of creation?"

Zhou Changwang observed, compared, and calculated.

It is correct to calculate from any direction.

With a thought in his mind, he did not hesitate and hurriedly approached that direction carefully.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Changwang saw a group of people standing in an open space from a distance, and his heart sank, "Oh no.

Were they discovered by others first?

And it was Ye Ping'an, an old acquaintance of the Ye family."

Zhou Changwang's face immediately became ugly.

But soon, he found that this group of people gathered here, just a coincidence.

In other words, they actually saw something, but after searching around, they found nothing.

At this moment, the wind and clouds suddenly changed.

A huge wave of wind suddenly swept in from a distance.

Then, endless poisonous fog quickly spread and quickly enveloped the entire Shenfeng Valley.

Even the sky darkened several times in an instant.

Ordinary cultivators could only see thirty feet at most.

"The first wave of poisonous fog is coming!"

Everyone's heart sank.

Some people took out the detoxification pills quickly and swallowed them.

Zhou Changwang hid on a tree, used the invisibility technique to the extreme, and silently swallowed a detoxification pill.

His condition was much better than others. Under the spiritual eye technique, the impact was not great, and it was clearly visible hundreds of feet away.

"Let's go to Jiuchong Mountain."

"Fifty years ago, the owner of the shop took away a fourth-grade spiritual plant here. It is impossible for a second plant to be born so soon.

Instead of wasting time here, it is better to rush to Jiuchong Mountain first and seize the fourth-grade earth treasure, the thousand-year enlightenment tea."

"Okay! Let's go!"

...

Suddenly, only one person called out.

A group of people from the Ye family immediately began to respond.

So, they quickly left under the leadership of Ye Ping'an and Ye Qianyuan.

After confirming that they had gone far away and there were no other cultivators around, Zhou Changwang took advantage of the situation and came to the place where they had stayed before.

"From the records in the three books of mountain and river topography, dragon-seeking and geomancy, this is indeed a place where the earth's energy condenses, and it is the place where the spiritual energy of the entire black dense forest gathers.

But why, not only does it not grow any spiritual plants, but even the spiritual energy is not abundant.

It is even worse than some ordinary spiritual places..."

Zhou Changwang carefully explored the surroundings, sensing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around him, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Could it be that the records he got from Zhao Shanhe were wrong?

But the three-grade spiritual plants he harvested before were not fake.

They were all put into his storage bag.

"If it is not on the ground, then is it underground?"

Zhou Changwang quickly guessed, and without hesitation, he directly used the earth escape technique.

He saw a flash of spiritual light on his body, and then his figure paused.

Then the next moment, his figure disappeared and sank into the ground.

"The spiritual power is consumed so quickly, and the soil here is so hard?"

As soon as he escaped into the ground, Zhou Changwang soon made a discovery.

That is, the consumption of his spiritual power was beyond his imagination, just like walking through the extremely hard spiritual energy ore, which was very difficult.

But he was not surprised but happy.

The more unusual it was, the more it could prove that there were secrets hidden underground.

He quickly walked underground and soon made a discovery.

"Rhizomes, many rhizomes.

Thick and strong.

And the range is very wide.

Most importantly, I finally found the problem.

It turns out that the spiritual energy and earth energy here have all been absorbed by these rhizomes.

No wonder the spiritual energy above is not obvious..."

Zhou Changwang's eyes immediately showed an extremely pleasant surprise.
