Chapter 67 Sixteen Days

"It was one of the monsters that besieged us that day." Mr. Wu's face suddenly darkened.

"Get rid of it quickly, don't attract more monsters." Taoist Jingquan threw the golden iron ball without hesitation.

At the same time, Gu Xiuyun also danced with his right hand, condensing sword energy with his light-refining fingers.

For some reason, his sword energy seemed to be deflected, and one of them landed on the golden iron ball. The sword energy was extremely powerful, and the iron ball hit the towering ancient tree in the distance.

Peng!

The ancient tree shattered, a big hole was blasted out of the tree trunk, and the monster beast that had not even opened the Heavenly Pass had died under Gu Xiuyun's sword.

Taoist Jingquan mobilized his spiritual power to summon the golden iron ball back, but at this moment, the three of them saw cyan light emitting from the trunk of the ancient tree.

"That's...the wood spirit bead?" Wu Lao's eyes suddenly lit up, he walked up quickly and took out the oval-shaped green bead from the trunk, "What kind of luck do we have that we can find it even if we smash an ancient tree to pieces? Wood Spirit Pearl?"

Although the value of the Wood Spirit Bead is not as high as that of the Purple Qi Ganoderma, it is still a rare treasure. It takes thousands of ancient trees to produce just one Wood Spirit Bead.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, now is not the time to appreciate the spirit beads. Let's hurry up!" Gu Xiuyun urged.

"Okay, okay." Mr. Wu smiled.

The three of them continued walking deeper into the dense forest, and this time they did not encounter any monsters again.

But Wu Lao and Taoist Jingquan didn't notice that there was a hint of pride in Gu Xiuyun's eyes.

It was a coincidence that they met the monster next to the ancient tree containing the Wood Spirit Pearl. It was of course the result of Gu Xiuyun's calculations.

There are many monsters in the forest at the moment. Those monsters don't even hide their breath, and even roar from time to time. It is not difficult to detect the traces of the monsters. Gu Xiuyun only needs to deliberately control the footsteps of the three people and cooperate with the whereabouts of the monsters to create A chance encounter is not impossible.

Of course, this requires Wu Lao and Taoist Jingquan to completely trust them and let him lead the way. Otherwise, no matter how big the plan is, it will be nothing if they don't obey.

After walking for nearly a stick of incense, everyone arrived at the top of Zhima Cave.

They quickly dug out the tunnel and drilled all the way deep into the ground.

"Hey, we've only been away for an hour, and the number of juveniles in the cave has actually decreased by nearly 40%."

Wu Lao looked surprised when he saw many purple young mushrooms scattered on the surrounding stone walls. "I'm afraid that mushroom has been hiding nearby, observing our every move."

"It is said that the wisdom of the Thousand-Year Zhima is no less than that of the human race. It seems true." Taoist Jingquan nodded slightly, "Old Wu, you are good at the secret method of searching for Zhi. Can you find the location of the Thousand-Year Zhima?"

"Fellow Taoist Jingquan is too flattering to me," Wu Laolian shook his head, "In addition to not being able to fight with people, the thousand-year-old Zhima is no less capable than the Sixth Level Demon in terms of magical power. Want to find it? Unless this Zhima The horse was greedy again and took the initiative to run into my spiritual leaf altar."

The last time, Wu Lao used the spirit leaf altar to attract purple spirit ganoderma, but it ended up attracting the greedy Millennium Zhima, so that most of the spirit leaves in the altar were stolen.

This incident also made Wu Lao regretful. He only regretted that he had not set up a wire mesh trap earlier and allowed the thousand-year-old Zhima to escape.

"Friend Wu Dao, the thousand-year-old Zhima has always been difficult to capture. Even the masters in the Douxiao Realm are helpless, so why should we force it?" Gu Xiuyun said with a faint smile, "Besides, there are endless treasures in this world. In addition to the thousand-year Zhima, there are many more. Rare and rare treasures, such as the Wood Spirit Bead that Fellow Daoist Wu just obtained, is a treasure. Speaking of which, I have never seen a Wood Spirit Bead."

"What Fellow Daoist Gu said is, Mr. Wu, take out your Wood Spirit Pearl for us to see. I have been practicing for many years and have never seen a Wood Spirit Pearl. I have only seen descriptions of this kind of Spirit Pearl in classics." Taoist Jingquan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly urged Mr. Wu to take out the spirit beads for everyone to appreciate.

Wood Spirit Pearls are rare in the world, and few can be found in the eight cities of Chu County. Therefore, the four people present have never actually seen Wood Spirit Pearls.

Mr. Wu chuckled and said, "As promised in advance, I discovered this orb. I want you to appreciate it and not to snatch it."

"It's just a Wood Spirit Pearl. Although it's rare, it doesn't have much use. Why do you want to steal it?" Taoist Jingquan rolled his eyes. "Don't be stingy. Take it out for us to see."

Mr. Wu took out the spirit bead from his chest, shook it twice, and suddenly put it in Gu Xiuyun's hand, "You want to see it, but I won't let you see it. Fellow Taoist Gu, I'll let you appreciate it first."

As soon as the Wood Spirit Pearl touched Gu Xiuyun's palm, a spiritual light that no one could detect poured into the body. Immediately afterwards, the Life Star Pearl began to repair quickly.

With the fourth life

The star bead was repaired, and the weak life force surged out of the star bead and merged into Gu Xiuyun's body.

He gained eight days of longevity.

"It's true. Every time a life star bead is repaired, the life span will be doubled. Calculated in this way, the next life star bead can increase the life span by sixteen days." Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly.

This number is very small, but don’t forget that there are hundreds of Life Star Beads embedded in the soul. If they can be doubled every time, the life span added by the Life Star Beads will be more terrifying as time goes by. As long as twenty , it will reach an incredible number.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. If the life star chart really has such power, how could it collapse?"

After the fourth Life Star Bead was repaired, it broke away from the shackles of the soul and floated over the sea of ​​consciousness, occupying one side with the other three Life Star Beads.

After adding a life star bead, the starlight in the sea of ​​consciousness became more intense, which made Gu Xiuyun's somewhat stagnant soul transformation speed up a little faster.

Before Gu Xiuyun had time to rejoice, he suddenly felt his heart tremble, and the rules of heaven and earth surged again.

"Here it comes again!"

Gu Xiuyun looked up at the sky, and the invisible sky knife was hanging above his head. After hesitating for a moment, it dissipated.

"It seems that I didn't violate the taboos of heaven," Gu Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I didn't take the initiative to ask Wu Lao to give me the Wood Spirit Pearl. I just said that I had never seen the Wood Spirit Pearl. There is no absolute causal relationship between the two."

It can be seen from this that the taboos of heaven are not so strict. As long as they are not violated, the thief heaven will not punish them.

"I don't know what Peng Zu did that year to make the heaven so angry. Not only did he punish him, but he also brought disaster to the Tianming clan for generations." Gu Xiuyun thought of the curse of the Tianming clan, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

From his test, it seems that the heaven is kind. As long as it is not against the heavenly rules, it will not punish you. But Peng Zu actually angered the heaven. What taboo did he violate?

After the fourth life star bead was repaired, the fifth life star bead began to tremble, and a picture was transmitted to the depths of Gu Xiuyun's soul.

It was a fiery red stone covered with patterns. The stone rose and fell in the magma, emitting luster from time to time.

"Sunstone, this is much easier." Gu Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
