Chapter 12: The Fallen Forest
Some time ago, Duan Yongyuan, who came to the Tang family on a blind date, was the apprentice of Elder Tianxin. Zhao Yingyan, Yue Yilan and Duan Yongyuan are collectively known as the "Three Young Heroes of the Dan God Sect", and they are the three youngest and most talented alchemists of the Dan God Sect.
The school of the Danshen Sect is divided into three parts, namely: the outer gate, the inner gate, and the elder's house.
Every year, a hundred people who pass the re-examination will become the outer disciples of the Danshen Sect. The outer protégé is taught by the alchemist of the Danshen Sect.
Outer protégés will only become inner protégés if they have obtained the alchemy apprenticeship qualification. Inner protégés are taught by alchemy masters.
Once an inner protégé becomes an alchemist, he can go to the elders' house to continue his studies. In the House of Elders, it is taught by the head or elders themselves, and the House of Elders is the highest institution of learning in the Danshen Sect.
The Danshen Sect is full of talents, and it is not only the head and the three elders who are the alchemy masters. There are more than dozens of alchemy masters in the Danshen Sect, and the cultivation of the alchemy masters is uneven, and some alchemy masters only have the Chu Yuan Realm.
Only when you become an alchemy grandmaster and break through to the realm of returning to the void realm can you be eligible to run for the elder or head.
In short, after such layers of screening, there are very few people who can finally go to the elders' house, and they are the elite of the elite.
The House of Elders directly manages the two major industries of the Danshen Sect, namely Lihe Garden and Dan Garden.
Lihe Garden is the place where the Dan God Sect cultivates all kinds of strange flowers and spiritual objects, and the Dan Garden is the place of alchemy.
The three elders of the House of Elders, Tianshi, Tianyan and Tianxin, have a division of labor.
Elder Tianshi is responsible for managing the Lihe Garden and Dan Garden, Elder Tianyan is responsible for cultivating talents for the Danshen Sect and the annual enrollment and qualification assessment, while Elder Tianxin is in charge of the procurement of raw materials, the export of Lingcao Lingdan, and diplomacy.
Of course, in addition to managing their respective areas of responsibility, the three elders must regularly teach and accept apprentices in the Elders' House to inherit the art of alchemy.
After reading the strategy, Tang Zixi had a general understanding of the overall situation of the Danshen Sect.
Although something very unpleasant happened in the place where he signed up on this day, Tang Zixi still had some expectations for Dan Shenzong. After all, this is an alchemy holy place that has been passed down for thousands of years.
At the end, the guide also gave a friendly reminder and introduced a good place to pass the time.
At the foot of Zhengyang Mountain, there is a mysterious forest. Legend has it that 10,000 years ago, a meteorite once landed deep in this forest.
Meteorites carry a foreign substance that can release special energy and form a unique magnetic field. For this reason, this forest is also called the Meteorite Forest.
For thousands of years, many animals and plants in the forest could not adapt to this energy and gradually became extinct, and the animals and plants that could adapt to the environment to survive have mutated, and after continuous reproduction, many new species have appeared.
Some plants and animals are highly toxic, while others have the miraculous effects of breaking through the realm, prolonging life and nourishing skin. The Fallen Forest has become a picking paradise for alchemists.
But this is heaven and hell at the same time.
Because 10,000 years have passed, the material in the meteorite has not degraded, and the entire forest is covered with magnetic fields. This magnetic field will not only isolate all information, but also deter and harm living beings, and the deeper you go in the forest, the greater the effect of the magnetic field, and the more difficult it is for ordinary people to set foot on it.
Countless people who come to hunt for treasure can only stop at the outskirts of the forest, and few dare to set foot in the depths of the forest.
Tang Zixi was thinking, anyway, there were still five days before the retest, so it was better to go to the Falling Forest for a walk.
Since he was a child, Tang Zixi has liked to go to Shenmeng Mountain alone to explore, pick all kinds of rare spirit grasses, and then take them to Tianbao Pavilion to sell them, and use the money in exchange to help make up for the family. Today, she doesn't have to worry about life anymore, and this feeling is still undiminished.
Perhaps, with the help of the Divine Book, she will be able to find something like the Dragon Pattern Eight Immortal Fruit and the Mixed Yuan Five-Leaf Ginseng!
Tang Zixi put the registration strategy into the space ring and left the inn and walked towards the Falling Forest.
There are many people who come to explore the Meteoric Forest, and in addition to tourists, there are also people who have signed up this time.
Just in case, before stepping into the Fallen Forest, Tang Zixi quietly activated the Divine Book and unfolded an invisible shield. Even if the Fallen Forest had the deterrence of the magnetic field, it would not be able to hurt her through the shield.
The plants in the Fallen Forest grow larger than the plants of the average primeval forest. Animals and plants have also become much larger, mosquitoes are like dragonflies, cockroaches are the size of a palm, mice are as big as cats, and everything is magnified. This is probably the reason why the meteorite's magnetic field caused the creatures to mutate!
In short, this eerie place is not for timid girls.
Tang Zixi's appearance happened to be the kind of girl who was so beautiful that she needed protection, so someone accosted her.
"Little girl, it is very dangerous for you to be alone in the Fallen Forest, if you don't travel with me, I have a lot of strength, and there is absolutely no problem in protecting you. A man walked over and smiled.
This big man's head looks like a bull, and his big nose also wears a nose ring, a typical bull's nose, with a fierce face, but the realm is not high, that is, the Linghai Realm is only ninefold!
Tang Zixi felt that this person was a little familiar! Suddenly I thought about it, today at the registration office, after the middle-aged man was knocked unconscious, he was dragged away by the bull's nose in front of him!
Niu Bi is Wang Weiren's subordinate.
Even if Niu Bi is a person from the Danshen Sect, how could Tang Zixi trust a stranger?
"This big brother, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't like restraint and just want to explore alone. Tang Zixi politely refused.
When Niu Bi heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and said fiercely: "Little girl, don't toast or drink." When I signed up today, I saw it all, the jade slip in your hand turned purple, give me the jade slip as a reward, and then I will protect you to walk this forest, otherwise whether you can leave here alive is a very serious problem. ”
Well, Tang Zixi finally understood the intention of this bull's nose, it turned out to be a robber!
She was a little strange again, isn't robbery generally about robbing property? What is the use of this bull's nose robbing the jade slip? And the people of the Dan God Sect, what is the use of robbing the sea selection jade slip of the Dan God Sect?
However, no matter what the robbery is, Tang Zixi will never give in.
Tang Zixi sneered: "This big brother, don't talk more than half a sentence, it seems that we have nothing to talk about, goodbye!"
Tang Zixi finished speaking and left.
"Little girl, don't want to escape!" Seeing Tang Zixi ignoring him, Niu Nose was anxious, and he picked up his palm and slashed down at the back of Tang Zixi's neck.
Although Niu Bi's realm is the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and Tang Zixi only has the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, it does not mean that Tang Zixi will be afraid of him.
Tang Zixi didn't dodge or dodge, pretending not to know.
Niu Bi thought that he could hit it with one blow, but when his palm was about to touch Tang Zixi, his whole person was knocked away by an invisible force!
Tang Zixi's whole body was covered by the shield of the divine book! Whenever he was attacked, the shield would shatter the power of the attack, thinking that Xiao Dan's golden armor was blasted to pieces in the first place.
The divine book can even break the golden armor, not to mention this mere bull's nose.
The poor cow's nose flew upside down, and he screamed in pain, and his whole body was bruised and bruised.
Why didn't the bullnose turn into pieces like the gold armor? It turns out that the shield of the Divine Book has a feature, the greater the force of the attack, the greater the rebound.
The golden armor is a nine-fold dao weapon, and the power that rebounds from the past reaches the god realm of one heavy, shattering the golden armor with one blow.
The palm of the bull's nose is the ninefold of the Spirit Sea Realm, and the Divine Book counterattacks with the power of the Returning Sky Realm.
In short, this divine book will save power.
The strength of the Returning Skyclave Realm beat the bull's nose badly, but it didn't take his life.
The cow's nose was not seriously injured, which was related to his strong physique.
At this moment, Niu Bi was scared, knowing that this seemingly weak Tang Zixi was not simple at all.
"Little girl, I'll let you go for the time being! I'll settle accounts with you later!" Oxnose got up in a panic and ran, and suddenly he couldn't even see a shadow.
Tang Zixi sighed, obviously he had to grab a handful of sand when he fell, he was talking about people like Niu Bi.
Tang Zixi didn't plan to pursue it, Niu Bi had already learned a lesson, I believe he wouldn't trouble himself again for the time being, right?
However, the Dan God Sect left a shadow on Tang Zixi again. Wang Weiren made a ruthless move, at least for the sake of defending the face of the Dan Divine Sect, but this bull's nose actually did the bad thing of robbery......
Niu Bi is Wang Weiren's subordinate, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, it seems that this Wang Weiren is not a good man and a woman.
Along the way, Tang Zixi saw that there were indeed many mutated plants in the Fallen Forest. However, the divine book in her mind never responded, that is, this plant is not very useful, and maybe it is still poisonous.
Plants that did not react to the divine book, Tang Zixi did not plan to pick them.
After walking for half an hour, Tang Zixi didn't gain anything, but at a turn, he met two people who looked familiar.
Under a dead tree, a man and a woman are happily picking Ganoderma lucidum. Those reishi mushrooms are golden, and the mushroom cap is the size of an umbrella, which is very exaggerated.
The young man and woman looked very similar, and they seemed to be two siblings. The man is handsome and docile, the woman is cute and sweet, and both have white skin, and the color of the pupils is very pale and maroon.
Tang Zixi was very surprised!
Isn't this Chu Mengbai and Chu Mengying, two brothers and sisters?
It's just that Chu Mengbai and Chu Mengying are cute rabbit demons with red eyes and white ears! Although these two people in front of them look exactly like those two brothers and sisters, their appearance is normal human beings.
The brother and sister were also startled when they saw Tang Zixi, and the boy smiled and asked, "Are you Miss Tang?"
Knowing that his surname is Tang, it seems that it is really them.
"Mengbai, Mengying, this world is so small, I didn't expect to meet you here, we are really fateful. By the way, what do you look like?" Tang Zixi asked curiously.
"Shhhhhh Miss Tang, aren't you the same transfiguration?, why are you so careless?" Chu Mengbai reminded Tang Zixi nervously.
"Yes, thank you......" Tang Zixi smiled sweatily.
When I went to the demon world to practice, I changed into a fox demon, presumably the two brothers mistakenly thought that they were pretending to be humans to sneak into the world of the human race, right?
