Chapter 398: Leaf of Wind and Thunder
When he saw the Thunderbird again, Shang Xia had already confirmed that he was currently on the verge of an advanced fourth-order alien bird.
And when Shang Xia noticed that the wind blowing from the mountain gate was not only containing some kind of wind evil, but also accompanied by some kind of thunder, he understood the reason why the thunderbird and the tribe inhabited here, and also understood the original cause of the ancient tree leaves under the mountain cliff with the power of wind and thunder.
But what surprised Shang Xia was that the Thunderbird was flying in the wind at this time, not only chasing the thunder that suddenly appeared in the wind, but also absorbing the wind evil.
In other words, the Thunderbird is now smelting a kind of wind and a kind of thunder at the same time.
You must know that not long ago, when Shang Xia saw the Four Evil Fellow Practitioners from the advanced formula deduced from the Four Square Tablets, he still felt incredible.
And right now, the example of Thunderbird being an advanced fourfold heavenly double evil practitioner is vividly displayed in front of his eyes.
Shang Xia looked at Ren Huan, who was walking in front of him, since this person had been able to detect the wind blowing in the mountain pass before, then he could naturally also detect the thunder in it now.
Shang Xia could confirm that this person was definitely not a disciple of Tongyou Academy, but if he was able to enter the Two Realms Battle Domain, it would at least prove that he was undoubtedly a Youzhou martial artist, and there must be a certain way in Tongyou Academy.
Since this is the case, Shang Xia is not worried that he will leak the news that there is some kind of wind and thunder here, so the process of Thunderbird's advancement here will naturally not be easily disturbed.
In fact, although the Thunderbird has not advanced to the fourth order now, it has a huge group of people to rely on, and even if it is an idle fourth-order existence, it will not dare to provoke him easily.
Moreover, some of the wind and thunder contained in the wind are not complete, but need to be collected for a long time before they can be used.
This alone determines that even if this place is leaked out, it can only fall under the control of the Tongyou Academy or the four major clans and the Changbai Holy Land.
However, in fact, Tongyou Academy is now able to claim ownership of this place.
Just as Shang Xia's thoughts diverged, the two of them had already traveled to the bottom of the cliff inhabited by the mutated swift clan against the fierce wind like a knife.
At this time, Shang Xia could barely see under the cliff on the left side of the cliff, an ancient tree with deformed and dwarf trunks and knotted branches, but scattered with palm-sized leaves, under the cliff on the left side of the cliff.
What interested Shang Xia was that although the location of this ancient tree was as far away from the mountain gate as possible, the wind there was still fierce, which was why the ancient tree was deformed and short, but the nearly 100 leaves on the treetop were not moving in the wind.
However, when Shang Xia's gaze looked back at the outside of the mountain gate, his expression couldn't help but change.
Although Shang Xia had been wandering in the remote places on the edge of the Two Realms War Domain during this time, he had never seen what the edge of the Two Realms War Domain was.
But this time he saw it!
Not far from the mountain gate is a gray void, where you can't see the edge or perceive any substance, giving people a deep and boundless feeling at the same time, but also making people shudder.
The wind outside the mountain gate comes from this gray void, and the occasional flickering thunderbolt always rises and falls, as if there are invisible huge mouths in the depths of the void, constantly swallowing the wind and thunderbolts.
Although Shang Xia was extremely interested in exploring this void, he knew that with his current cultivation, it was far from enough to come into contact with this mysterious place.
I don't know if my cultivation will be qualified to enter this gray void after advancing to the Quadruple Heaven.
However, Shang Xia knew that the ancestors of the Five Heavens were absolutely qualified, otherwise it would be impossible for Kou Chongxue to sneak directly into the Two Realms Battle Domain from outside the boundary barrier.
When Shang Xia turned his attention back to the ancient trees under the cliff, the two of them had already come close against the strong wind of the mountain pass.
It's no longer in the direction of the mountain pass, and the wind is much less, at least when the two of them talk normally, they can already make each other's voices clear.
However, at this time, Shang Xia noticed that the True Yuan in his body seemed to be a little more mellow than before.
Isn't it under the strong wind of this mountain gate, and there is also the effect of tempering the true essence of the martial artist?
This thought flashed through Shang Xia's mind, and he had already decided to mention the effect of wind power that might help the True Yuan Tempering after reporting the location of this place to the academy.
You must know that after a martial artist has advanced to a new realm in cultivation, the reason for the lack of control of the origin in the body is usually one of the biggest dangers faced by a martial artist.
One of the direct effects of deepening the tempering of the original vitality in the martial artist's body is to help the martial artist improve the degree of control over the origin in the body.
From this point of view, the importance of this mountain gate tuyere may also be due to the thin wind and thunder contained in the strong wind.
"This ancient tree contains a total of one hundred and thirteen leaves with the power of wind and thunder, of which forty-three can be picked and used to make third-order rune paper, and the rest will probably take some time to grow. Hey, congratulations to your academy, you have found a resource point that can supply spiritual materials for a long time. ”
Ren Huan's voice attracted Shang Xia back who was distracted.
Ren Huan knew very well that if it was just an ancient tree whose leaves could be used to make rune paper, he might still be able to cooperate with Shang Xia to conceal the existence of the ancient tree.
However, the existence of the Thunderbird Clan, as well as the value of the mountain gate, was not something that the two of them third-order martial artists could steal at all, and it was inevitable to report to the academy.
Shang Xia said with a smile: "It is inevitable to report to the academy, but now these wind and thunder leaves belong to you and me." And afterwards, the academy will inevitably have a reward, plus he is also a third-order talisman master, and a part of the wind and thunder leaves picked here will inevitably fall on the lower head, and then it will be necessary to use the power of Brother Ren to make rune paper. Of course, Brother Ren will not contribute in vain. ”
When Ren Huan heard this, a ray of light flashed in his small eyes, and he patted his chest with a smile and said, "It's wrapped around me." ”
In a few simple words, a cooperation agreement was reached between the two, and Shang Xia had another channel to obtain rune paper outside the academy, and Ren Huan could not only get paid, but also improve his skills in making rune paper with the help of the materials provided by Shang Xia.
At this time, Ren Huan was already picking the ripe leaves of wind and thunder on the ancient tree.
Picking the leaves of Wind and Thunder obviously also requires certain means, not only to not hurt the origin of the ancient tree in the process of picking, but also to keep the picked leaves of Wind and Thunder as intact as possible.
Shang Xia thought to himself that he didn't have such means, so he could only watch Ren Huan constantly busy around the ancient tree alone.
But at this time, Shang Xia looked at the branches of the ancient tree
On a whim, I couldn't help but walk to the ancient tree, picked up a suitable branch and dragged it, and felt the toughness in it.
Ren Huan couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Shang Xia's movements, "What is Brother Shang doing?"
Shang Xia sighed, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I just want to see if the branches of this ancient tree are suitable for making a longbow." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Huan's face looked a little unpleasant.
Even if the grade of this ancient tree is not in the fourth order, it can be regarded as the highest level of the third order, and it can naturally be used to make the bow arm of the longbow, but in that case, it will inevitably damage the origin of the ancient tree, and the vitality of the ancient tree will be greatly damaged, and only God knows if it can grow a few leaves of wind and thunder at that time.
Shang Xia also understood that what he said was extremely inappropriate, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Brother Ren, don't take it seriously, I'm just going to take a look, take a look, heh!"
Ren Huan's face turned slightly pale, and he thought for a while: "This ancient tree is not easy to grow, and in such a special place, there is no possibility of going further in the future, giving birth to the possibility of making a fourth-order rune paper Wind and Thunder Leaf." Brother Shang Tianzong is a genius, he is already a third-order talisman master at a young age, and it is inevitable to advance to the fourfold heaven in the future, and it is natural to become a fourth-order talisman master. I don't think Brother Shang should want to lose a spiritual treasure that can supply fourth-order rune paper materials for a long time, right?"
Shang Xia's expression was solemn when he heard this, and he said, "Naturally, I don't want to." Brother Ren rest assured, it's just a whim. ”
Ren Huan nodded, turned around and continued to pick suitable Wind and Thunder Leaves.
However, Shang Xia had some regrets in his heart, because he had a low-grade iron tire longbow in his hand, he had also dabbled in archery before, and he had made some progress after practice.
However, the longbow of the lower grade sharp weapon grade seemed to be a little less powerful for him now, and now that he was about to advance to the Fourth Heaven, the iron-tired longbow would be even more unsuitable at that time, so Shang Xia had the idea of replacing it with a higher-grade longbow.
It's just that it's not easy to make sharp weapons, high-grade sharp weapons are even more difficult, and high-grade longbow sharp weapons are even more difficult.
Not to mention anything else, it is extremely difficult to find the materials used to make high-grade longbow sharp weapons.
Just when Shang Xia was a little idle, thinking about whether to go back to the tuyere to temper the true element in his body against the strong wind, suddenly a clear sound came, and the thunderbird swooped down from the top of the cliff, and after falling on Shang Xia's shoulder, he bowed his head and handed him a ball of furry things.
"It's ...... Swallow velvet of mutant swifts?"
Ren Huan's surprised tone came from the side, and when Shang Xia looked up, he saw that his expression was full of envy.
Shang Xia smiled: "Brother Ren knows this?"
Ren Huan glanced at him and said, "That is the main material used to weave the Qiankun bag, and the space inside the most inferior Qiankun bag is also one zhang square, but it needs at least three taels of swallow velvet." And Brother Shang, I only think there are about one or two of this ball of swallow velvet in your hand. ”
Shang Xia smiled and carefully put away the ball of swallow velvet in his hand.
Ren Huan didn't know that Shang Xia originally had three taels of swallow velvet in his hand, which was enough to weave the smallest Qiankun bag.
In fact, when the Thunderbird took the mutated swift flock to settle in Pinxin Peak before, the academy also collected some swallow velvet, but the number was very small, and then it was forced to interrupt because of the matter of planning the origin of heaven and earth.
The cloud of swallow velvet in Shang Xia's hand now should be the result of the Thunderbird leading the tribe to inhabit this mountain cliff.
