Chapter 829: Broken Gears

The number of copies is two different worlds, although generally speaking, the creatures in the two worlds are relatively similar, but if you really have to think about it carefully, there are actually many things that are different.

For example, in the medicine field in front of him, Jiang Ning could recognize the elixir and counted it on one hand.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to recognize these medicines, but after absorbing the time energy left behind after the dissipation of those time demons, he simply used the power of time on his body to prop up a shield and carefully walked into the medicine field.

Jiang Ning thought very clearly, the medicine field was borne as a reaction force, and within the range where those drugs were located, there was an extremely fast time flow rate, if he went in like that, he was afraid that he would lose his longevity every minute and every second.

In order to verify this conjecture, Jiang Ning casually took out a rope from Xiaotianxia, tied a rope sleeve at the end, if the power of time is not strong, the rope can naturally withstand it, and when the time comes, he will use the rope to cover the medicinal materials and take them from the air.

If the power of time is very strong, then the rope will be damaged in a short time, and at that time, he can judge how long he can hold up the time barrier according to the strength of the power of time.

Only by judging how long the time barrier can hold on, can you determine the next route and the number of medicinal materials that can be collected.

Unfortunately, the side effects of time stopping were even more serious than Jiang Ning had imagined, and when he threw the rope into it, the rope immediately decayed.

Jiang Ning simply changed to a chain weapon that he had snatched in the hands of others in the early years, and that weapon was at least the level of a medium-grade spiritual weapon, whether it was hardness, endurance, or toughness, it was much better than the previous rope.

After throwing it in again, he barely took out the farthest herb, and the spirit weapon chain had already rusted and broken.

"This time acceleration ratio is really big enough!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh.

Although his body now contains some power that can be counteracted by the power of time stopping, Jiang Ning knows that even if he walks in, he won't be able to hold on for long.

After roughly estimating the strength of the time force in his body, Jiang Ning came to a conclusion:

Without consuming his own longevity, if he enters this medicine field, he can only hold on for ten breaths at most, and after ten breaths, his longevity will begin to detract, if he does not come out within a quarter of an hour, his longevity will be halved, and if he does not come out for two quarters of an hour, he will die directly.

But the medicine field is so big, there are so many medicinal materials in it, although his speed has accelerated a lot now because of the Tasha practice method, but after all, the overall strength is still suppressed by this world, and the speed in the original world cannot be fully exerted, so it is impossible to collect all the medicinal materials inside, so the final thing for him now is not how to collect all those medicinal materials, but how to find the best route in the shortest possible time, and collect as many of the most precious medicines in the medicine field as possible without harming his longevity。

After all, although Jiang Ning was in the original world, Shouyuan could almost be counted in 100,000 years, and if he made a further breakthrough, it would not be impossible to count even millions or even tens of millions of years, but he didn't know if his Shouyuan could be so long in this new world, after all, the Heavenly Dao rules of the dominant world were no longer the Heavenly Dao rules of the original world, and although his strength was extremely strong in the original world, it should be nothing in the inner world of this giant scorpion palace。

Therefore, although Jiang Ning knew that the source of life in his body was extremely strong, but in the case of not being able to fully confirm how much his lifespan was, Jiang Ning did not dare to waste his lifespan to take medicine.

Fortunately, although there were many medicinal herbs here that he didn't know, let alone know their functions, Jiang Ning could still clearly feel the difference in the strength and weakness of the life energy in those herbs.

Although life energy is not the only criterion and absolute criterion for judging the strength of the effect of medicinal herbs, at least the medicinal herbs with strong life energy should be relatively old in general, and the year of medicinal materials is also a standard for measuring most medicinal herbs.

Standing in place and observing the medicinal field in front of him for about an hour, Jiang Ning roughly identified the eight medicinal herbs that he thought were the most powerful in life, and decided to collect these eight plants first when he entered the medicine field later.

The reason why they were selected was because the life energy of these eight herbs was in the most powerful column of the medicine field, and secondly, because the position of these eight herbs was probably on a broken path, so that if you enter from the left and come out from the right, it will take relatively little time.

Although there are still some medicinal herbs in the medicinal field that contain a higher amount of life energy than some of the eight plants selected by Jiang Ning, their distribution locations are relatively scattered, if you want to take one of them, then it will waste a lot of time to turn around and take the other one, and when the time comes, the medicinal materials that can be obtained will be much less, in Jiang Ning's opinion, even if it is just one less plant, it is a little more than worth the loss.

Just when Jiang Ning was fully prepared and was about to start acting, he suddenly noticed that in the lotus pond on the west side, as if something was breathing slowly and rhythmically, his heart jumped, and all his attention was attracted to it.

He poured all the star power into his eyes, although his eyes were swollen and painful, but because of the foundation of the green electric pupil, there was no danger at this moment.

With the support of these energies, Jiang Ning's eyesight increased greatly, penetrating the surface of the water, and reaching all the way to the place where the water flow and the silt met below.

It was a short milky white lotus root.

Compared with the length of the normal lotus root, the small short lotus root in front of him is only the size of Jiang Ning's palm at best, and it seems to be completely no different from the other lotus roots in the lake, but every once in a while, the lotus root will beat slightly.

Before, when he didn't notice it, Jiang Ning didn't feel anything unusual, but when his eyes really fell on the lotus root, the lotus root seemed to come to life, rhythmically and regularly relaxing, contracting, and between the cycles, there seemed to be a powerful force overflowing, and there was not even a trace of any other lotus flower within three zhang of the underwater surroundings, not even a trace of a water weed.

"This is the real good thing!" Jiang Ning thought in his heart.

But he soon fell into deep thought.

Although there is the effect of the power of time on the medicine field, there is no one on the lotus pond on the west side.

In order to confirm this, Jiang Ning also deliberately took a spiritual weapon from Xiaotiandi, and used the sword technique of the splitting sword to manipulate and fly to the surface of the lake, the result was that there was no change at all on the spiritual weapon, so it was determined that there was no effect of the power of time in the lotus pond, but now, when he called the power of time to carry out the exact induction, he found that there was a faint, almost imperceptible power of time, which fell directly from the time gear, drew an arc, and landed on the truncated lotus root in the water。

Although the power of time is very faint at first, if you taste it carefully, you feel heartwarming.

In order to confirm his guess, Jiang Ning took out a spirit weapon and moved the sword to the area where the power of time was acting, but he didn't expect that the flying sword, which was also a medium-grade spirit weapon level, immediately turned into debris and dissipated on the lake.

"The power of time here is more than ten times stronger than the strength of all the time power in the medicine field combined, even if I only stay in the water for a breath after breaking in, the barrier of this layer of time power on my body cannot completely block the time power outside, which means that if I want to get that short lotus, I must lose a part of my longevity!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning hesitated a little.

He wanted the short lotus, but Shou Yuan didn't want to waste it, so Jiang Ning's attention was once put back into the medicine field.

However, there was a voice in Jiang Ning's heart that kept telling him that the value of the short lotus root in the lotus pond was probably higher than the value of all the medicinal materials in the medicine field combined.

It was a difficult but happy choice to sacrifice a part of Shouyuan, get the short lotus root, or safely take out the eight herbs with strong vitality from the medicinal field.

However, Jiang Ning didn't hesitate for too long, so he decided to seek wealth and danger, and went into the water to get the short lotus root.

The abnormal loss of longevity, for cultivators, as long as there are enough medicinal materials, it can be replenished, maybe in the current world, Jiang Ning does not know what medicinal materials can replenish life energy, and there is probably no time to go out to find medicinal materials, but in his original world, he is still very proficient in medicinal materials and pharmacology. After going back, I am afraid that the strength will come to the Dao and Realm in an instant, and when the time comes, the world will be as big as it can go, and it is not easy to find a few medicinal herbs that can restore vitality?

The reason why Jiang Ning hesitated before was not because he cared about the loss of Shouyuan, but because he was afraid that after entering, his Shouyuan would not be enough to support him to come out, and he would just put his life in it at that time.

The short lotus root is precious, but the small life is gone.

Therefore, Jiang Ning carefully calculated, in the lotus pond, the place covered by the power of time is only a small piece of the short lotus, which forms an arc from top to bottom, as long as you pay attention to your own trajectory after falling asleep, before touching the short lotus, try not to let yourself fall into the scope of the power of time, when picking the lotus, only use one hand to reach into that area, and wrap all the time power on your body in that hand, you should not encounter too much trouble.

Jiang Ning jumped into the water and dived along the edge of the lotus pond until he saw the short lotus root in the center, and then cautiously swam in the direction of the short lotus.

The whole process went smoothly, and the expected bad obstacles didn't happen once.

It's also a lotus pond, but in this lotus pond, obviously there is no big fish that can mutate.

Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and reached into the area shrouded in the power of time.

In an instant, Jiang Ning gathered all the time power in his body on the palm and wrist of his right hand.

The two diametrically opposed temporal forces dissolved each other in the fierce collision, and Jiang Ning's hand had already firmly grasped the short lotus.

A feeling of flesh and blood immediately spread from the short lotus, as if it had been a part of Jiang Ning's body a long time ago.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be stunned because of this mysterious feeling, but Jiang Ning didn't, he had already thought about it when he reached in, no matter what kind of feeling he had after catching the short lotus, he would catch the short lotus root from the range of the power of time as soon as possible.

However, it was at this critical juncture that a mutation occurred.

The short lotus root seemed to not want to leave the range of the power of time, and it trembled violently, Jiang Ning couldn't hold it for a while, and his nails were fiercely embedded in the epidermis of the short lotus, but it was only in a state where he didn't get out of his hand, and it was not enough to grab the short lotus root out of the scope of the power of time.

The acceleration force that descended from the gears was endless, but the power of time and time on Jiang Ning's body was extremely limited, and it had been decreasing sharply since the probe entered the range of the power of time, which made his heart extremely anxious.

Gritting his teeth, the power of time was divided into two, and the other part was transferred to his left hand, Jiang Ning probed his hands into the range of the power of time, grabbed the short lotus, and wanted to forcibly pull it out.

However, at this time, all the lotus roots in the lake pond moved, and an extremely fast speed appeared beside Jiang Ning, turning into a large net of vines and enveloping his body.

Jiang Ning's hands remained unchanged, but his body leaned back slightly, borrowing his transcendent comprehension of the flowing clouds and crossing the moon body method, and with the help of the changes in the fluid in the water as the help of his body, he dodged several attacks in a flash.

However, because his mind had been disturbed by the attacks from the outside, Jiang Ning still couldn't pull the short lotus root out of it.

This time, those aquatic plants and lotus roots seemed to have eyes, and they no longer attacked Jiang Ning's body in vain, but leaned straight over and wrapped around Jiang Ning's immovable arms.

Jiang Ning naturally couldn't let these aquatic plants succeed, and above his head, the power of the second natal star was immediately transmitted, and with the power of the Warm Heart Divine Tree Ice Flower Fire, in a short period of time, the surrounding lake was directly frozen along with those aquatic plants.

Just for a short pause, Jiang Ning's arms suddenly exerted force, forcibly tearing off the connection between the upper and lower parts of the short lotus, and pulling it out of the range of the power of time.

At this moment, the power of time on Jiang Ning's arms has disappeared, and under the washing of the force of acceleration, the clothes on Jiang Ning's arms have already decayed, and even one of his arms has been affected by the acceleration of time, and has become a little withered.

If it weren't for Jiang Ning's endless infusion of life energy into those arms, I am afraid that these hands would have been wasted.

After succeeding, Jiang Ning immediately broke the ice, a vertical leap, came to the edge of the lotus pond, he was not in a hurry to think about how to deal with this short lotus, but flashed back to the small world, at the moment when his strength was restored, he threw the short lotus into the ice lake, and used the power of the world to control the cold ice to freeze it in the very center.

As for himself, he sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusting his mind and stimulating the life energy in his body, dividing it into two and injecting it into his withered arms.

In less than half an hour, Jiang Ning's arms had already returned to their original state.

With a slight wave of his hand, the power of the world of the small world flew in front of Jiang Ning with the elixirs, spirit grasses and spirit fruits that could replenish longevity growing everywhere on the small world.

Jiang Ning opened his mouth and inhaled, and the life energy in those spirit herbs and elixirs turned into a green stream of light, which directly drilled into his mouth.

"Whew!"

Jiang Ning stood up, his face was still slightly pale, and he said to himself with a slight palpitation: "My God, just under the coercion of the light flow of time, I insisted on half a breath without protection, and I lost three thousand years of longevity, short lotus, short lotus, short lotus, you must make it back for me, otherwise this sword immortal will lose a lot this time!"

Jiang Ning glanced back at the direction of the ice lake, and did not rush to move the short lotus, turned around and disappeared into the small world, returning to the garden.

It was only half an hour, but after coming back, the scenery in the garden greatly startled Jiang Ning.

The force of time turned into rays that scattered haphazardly across the garden.

Some are the force of time stopping, some are the force of acceleration, the place where they were shot by the force of time stopping was fine, and there was no change, but where they were shot by the force of acceleration, the stones turned into powder, the trees withered, and the walls were mottled.

After evading the ray attack in a fluttering manner, Jiang Ning looked up at the time gear above his head.

Only then did I find that the gears that were originally put together now seemed to be propped apart by something, and they were cracked by a sledgehammer, and the wooden teeth that originally fit perfectly have now fallen off and become a single gear, and some of them even broke directly.

And the power of time that was shot out just now was emanating from those collapsed gears.
