Chapter Twenty-Four: A Medicine King
In the sky 100,000 miles above the underworld, the thin but resolute figure of a young man appeared here, and directly above his head was a huge land suspended in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The land surface covers the entire underworld, like the ceiling of an attic.
In front of his line of sight was a huge sinkhole with a radius of more than 100 meters, and the five-colored essence was swirling in the sinkhole, and this sinkhole ran through the two worlds of the human world for a total of 100,000 miles.
After glancing at the spirit monkey crashing out of the huge sinkhole that ran through the two realms, he didn't hesitate for much, and quickly rushed into the sinkhole with his thin body under his feet.
In the sinkhole, there is no imaginary dark scene, but the five-color luster surrounds the sinkhole, and shuttles through it, like a variety of 'time and space tunnels' that often appear in movies.
After all, the 100,000-mile stratum is not something that can be reached overnight, and it is estimated that it will take about half a month for the thin body to travel through this five-colored luster like a 'time tunnel'-like sinkhole, and he already feels a little exhausted, the pores of his whole body are closed, and his energy is greatly lacking.
Probably because he has a physical body, he even feels a little hungry and unbearable in his abdomen, perhaps because of the reunion of Hui Yuandan's physical body, so that he will not feel weak when he walks through the 'tunnel' without eating three meals a day like ordinary people, but after consuming too much physical strength, it will still make him feel a little unbearable in his abdomen.
Touching the flat and somewhat concave lower abdomen, he sighed, such a depth of the human stratum really made him feel a little difficult to cross over like this.
He suddenly remembered that the 'Ancient Emperor' was accompanied, and with the blessing of the 'Ancient Emperor' power, he could cross the Underworld Continent in just a few breaths, and the distance between the 100,000 miles of heaven and earth in the Underworld was even more blessed by a mysterious power, and his body passed directly through the void as if he had opened the void, without consuming any extra energy.
Although the person who gave him a ride to rescue himself from the crowd did not show up, he knew that the mysterious power must be the Turtle Immortal, and only this old man could easily rescue him from the powerhouses who stood at the peak of the two realms of the underworld and demons.
"Grandpa, wait, I will definitely be the existence standing at the top of this world, and the next time we meet, I will not disappoint you!" ”
At this moment, his heart couldn't help but stir up waves again, this is a desire for strength, but also a commitment to the old man, and also the old man's expectation of him, in his heart has regarded this respectable old man as his elder, and the first person in this world to be really good to him.
He continued to travel in the direction of the Human Continent for almost a day and a night, at this time his stomach was really a little hungry, a soul body could not eat, drink or replenish energy all year round, and he was already a human race with a physical body at this time, but he could not go without eating during this long journey.
So, he had to slow down his progress and try to keep flying upwards while searching for medicinal plants that had no food for him.
Fused with the memories of the 'Ancient Emperor', he knew that there were some mysterious plants and rare medicinal herbs that could grow in the depths of the underground where there was no light for tens of thousands of miles, and if he was lucky, he could find these mysterious plants or medicinal herbs in this underground world, and these plants had extremely pure energy, which was enough to make him hungry and recover his tired body.
"Hey, I knew it would be like this, I should have asked my grandfather for some dried fish and other dry food, and I didn't have to go to such great lengths to find something to eat in this dark underground world."
The young man's body left the sinkhole 'tunnel' and penetrated into the black earth, constantly searching in the underground world where there was no sunlight for ten thousand years, because he found that this underground world was not all soil and rock, and there were also many holes that were isolated from the gap between the soil and the rock, and these holes were large enough to hide an adult, and there were even some naturally formed caves, except for the black that could not be seen in the cave, there was still enough space for him to grope inside.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and he really found a plant with a fruit shell similar to the length of a Bodhi seed, the plant grows in the gap between a rock and the soil layer, this kind of plant that grows in the dark underground world is generally very strong, and it is impossible to pull it out of the rocky soil without a bar.
It took a lot of effort to pull the plant out of the rocky soil, and it had to be said that the root system of this kind of plant was stronger than any plant he had ever seen in his previous life, and the part of the surface layer exposed outside the rocky soil was less than a quarter of the rhizome, and the rhizome was very thick and tough, otherwise his strength would have been enough to tear the rhizome in the soil.
The reason why he uprooted a large part of the whole plant was because he felt that he was looking for a needle in a haystack to find such a plant in this dark underground world, and it was extremely difficult to find this plant, and he didn't want to waste even a little bit because he was so hungry.
And part of the reason is that, since the 'ancient emperor' himself learned, most of the essence of this plant growing in this kind of environment is in the rhizome part, and the fruit is only the seed used by this kind of plant to propagate and continue life, and to a certain extent, it is not as high as the nutritional value on the rhizome.
I grabbed this plant, which seemed to look strange to the touch, removed the rhizome, soil and skin, and rattled like eating an apple when I bit it, but the taste was a little bland, only a trace of sweetness came from the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.
This may also be the reason why he is eating a little bit now, and he has no time to taste it, otherwise he can definitely taste the roots of this plant and refuse, it is still the taste of any fruit he has eaten in his previous life.
Of course, those ordinary fruits naturally can't be compared to the rhizomes of the Hidden Spirit Grass that has pure energy in this world, and if such a complete Hidden Spirit Grass is placed in an outside auction house, it will be copied to an unimaginable sky-high price.
After eating all the rhizomes of the whole plant, he faintly felt a pure and subtle energy dissolving in his body, and the feeling of hunger in his stomach was obviously much better.
He pinched the stems and leaves he was holding in his other hand and the two or three hard fruits on them, these stems and leaves that grew on the rhizomes were not very long, and he could barely cover them with a slap.
Without hesitation, he sent the stems and leaves into his mouth, but he was just sending these fruits into his mouth, but he couldn't bite through the hard husks no matter how much he bitten, so he had to give up and throw the fruits into the hole created by the plant that had just been pulled out of the rocky soil.
I have to say that the energy of this plant that I don't know what it is called is indeed not to be underestimated, although the energy contained in the stems and leaves is not enough to compare with the energy contained in the rhizomes, but it is also a source of nutrition for him to provide life needs.
The energy provided by the plant dissolved in his body, so that his spirit was shocked in vain, and he returned to his previous look, and the energy rich in this plant alone made his physical and mental power return to a full state, but perhaps because he had been hungry for too long, there was still a feeling of not being full in his stomach, although this feeling was much better than before.
"There will definitely be."
Since he could find a mysterious plant in the depths of the earth that had not seen the light of day for 10,000 years, he believed that there should be similar plants in the vicinity of this plant, and only by eating the rhizomes, stems and leaves of these plants would he be able to continue his journey in a full state.
Of course, it's always good to be extra prepared in case you need it.
Continuing to grope in this invisible underground world, he found that the place he was in at this time was a natural cave, every inch of the rock wall opened inward, and he didn't even have to fly, he landed firmly on the rocky ground under his feet, stepping on the rock and groping towards the inward cavern.
About five steps away from him, he finally touched a similar plant again on the rock wall of his tentacles, and with great effort, he pulled the plant out of the soil between the rocks, and cleaned the soil from the rhizome in the same way, and ate it, and the stems and leaves were also eaten by him without waste, although the energy of the stems and leaves was not enough for the rhizomes, but they were also able to nourish his body.
Although the two plants are less than five steps apart, it is extremely rare to find them in this dark cave, and you can only find them by putting your hands on the rock wall and groping up and down through the sense of touch.
As he walked deeper and deeper into the cave, he found almost eleven or twelve of these plants again, and they all ate them in the same way, and the fruits of these plants were also abandoned by him in the hole of the stem.
For some reason, when the fifth plant was eaten by him, he no longer had that feeling of hunger, and his mental state had returned to his previous peak, but there was always a feeling in his body that seemed to be very hungry for the pure energy brought by this plant.
Even though he was in the lower belly of a dozen plants, he did not feel the swelling in his abdomen, as if these plants had all turned into pure energy to nourish his body when he was in the lower belly.
Through pranayama, these pure energies in the body are operated, and these energies begin to circulate among the limbs and bones in the body, and it seems that his body is constantly tempered and strengthened, with a sense of pleasure similar to 'breakthrough'.
"There are many types of cultivation in this world, and these types are differentiated according to race, I am a human race, and the cultivation of the human race needs to be quenched first, and then the qi is concentrated, and the rebirth pill is gathered in the body, so that the ability to vaporize can be achieved, and finally the road of cultivation is truly embarked."
"I really didn't expect that this plant still has the effect of quenching the body, it seems that before I reach the human realm, I will be able to break through the quenching realm and reach a higher level of qi gathering.
In the fusion of the memories of the 'Ancient Emperor', he already knew the general cultivation methods and methods of the different races in this world, and the quenching effect of the energy contained in these plants also made him a little overjoyed, there are many plants in this world that have the quenching effect, but he didn't expect to be met by himself so soon, and there are obviously a lot of them along the way, which also strengthens his search for this plant.
But he didn't know that the effect of this 'Hidden Spirit Grass' flew so far, in addition to quenching his body, it could also allow him to improve his cultivation of gathering qi.
Of course, this is also because he can't see the name of this plant and can't judge it by groping, if he can see it, he will definitely be able to find the answer through the memory of the 'Ancient Emperor'.
Continuing to go deeper, there were about seven or eight more plants that were the same as those before and after he was eaten, and there were about twenty-one or two plants in total, and his cultivation had already broken through the quenching body and entered a more intensive qi gathering stage, and he seemed to have made a few turns in this cave, and came to a bigger and deeper place.
"I really didn't expect that this plant still has the effect of gathering qi, it's really earned!"
I thought that this plant had the effect of quenching the body, but I didn't expect that after eating this plant, he not only broke through the nine layers of quenching in one fell swoop, but the energy that was constantly circulating in his body was constantly gathering in his body, and he knew that when these energies were completely gathered in his body, he could condense the pill of rebirth, so as to turn the gas into solid, and truly embark on the cultivation path of the human race in this world.
When his body broke through the nine layers of quenching his body, he had already planned to return the same way to continue his journey after he had eaten enough, and went in the direction of the human world, and after discovering the effect of the mysterious plant's qi gathering, he also temporarily dismissed the behavior of preparing to return the same way, and continued to go deeper and explore more of this plant.
Finally, groping all the way in the cave, as he went deeper and deeper into it, the space in the cave became larger and larger, until he reached another break point in the rock wall that his hand touched, like a passage mouth, and then there was no cave passage wall leading to here, and the front was as black as ever, in such a cave environment, if there were other passages, he was likely to be completely lost, and he could not return the same way.
Faced with such an environment, it suddenly made his heart hesitate, after considering the pros and cons, he still decided to return the same way, he didn't want to get lost in this dark cave tens of thousands of miles deep underground, stay for a lifetime, he still has his Jingxiu future to go.
Although having the power of chaos makes him equivalent to having an immortal body, if he stays in this dark underground world for decades, even if he will not starve to death, he will suffocate to death, and the hunger from his stomach before makes him exhausted his energy, if he is in this state all year round, then he might as well die.
And just as he was about to grope his way back to the rock wall, a faint glow in the distance pierced his eyeballs, attracting his attention, and when he saw the source of the light, suddenly, his pupils shrank, his breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat seemed to be still.
"It's ,,,,,"
"Medicine King!"
