The Duchy of Rainforest, part of the Glory Federation, is also the southernmost principality of the Federation.

The mountains and forests are barren, the grass and trees are frosty, and the cold is pressing.

The sleet that fell from the sky and flowed down through the cracks in the dense canopy, shimmering with crystalline light.

Ye Changsheng stepped on the soft soil, walking forward, whenever the rain and dew in the air reflected the brilliance, he would stop and quietly admire.

When everything is silent, the rain and snow fall and make a shuddering sound, which makes the surrounding tranquility even more peaceful.

Unconsciously, the night was closed, and the last trace of afterglow cast by the canopy disappeared into Ye Changsheng's eyes.

In the depths of the dark forest, rainbows slowly appeared.

It was a tall fern with long, stretched leaves, from the inside of which colorful dots of light shined.

Ye Changsheng smiled happily: "Sure enough, it's a rainbow fern, and after reverse processing, it is the best matte coating." ”

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out his black carving knife and walked over to a rainbow fern and gently cut off the slender leaves.

In the past few days of travel, Ye Changsheng has collected a large number of materials, most of which are related to sword casting.

Fortunately, after his demon space was upgraded again, the space was doubled, and he was still wearing a space ring, so that all kinds of materials could be fitted.

These materials may not be precious, but being able to observe their living conditions and pick them by hand is the best supplement to experience and knowledge.

In ancient times, because of the inconvenience of transportation and the limitations of communication, swordsmiths often had to trek through mountains and rivers to the north and south of the river in order to collect materials for sword casting.

Parts of plants, animals, ores, whetstones, charcoal, charcoal, all kinds of auxiliary materials, are all within the range of the swordsmith's collection.

At that time, the swordsmith was also a master gatherer.

Ye Changsheng advocates the ancient method of forging swords, so he naturally has to go through such an experience.

After harvesting the twelve best rainbow leaves, Ye Changsheng collected some pure cold dew from the other leaves and put them into a jade bottle.

The cold dew in the primeval mountain forest is soaked in spirituality, and Changsheng plans to bring it back for experiments, perhaps to make a concoction of water attributes.

Call!

A giant python more than ten meters long, wriggling its bucket-like body, suddenly jumped down from a tree and hovered over Ye Changsheng's body.

The giant python had used this move to strangle an enemy ten times stronger than it, but this time it was just dealing with an unsuspecting human, and it didn't feel any surprises.

However, it was wrong, its slippery snake skin was imprisoned by a powerful force before it even touched Ye Changsheng's body.

Time seemed to have been frozen, the giant python's bloody mouth, the letter that spit out could not be retracted, the snake's tail hung upside down on the branch, and the huge body became a relief.

Ye Changsheng took out the black carving knife and poked it on the colorful snake skin of the giant python, poking here and there, full of curiosity.

Since ancient times, snakeskin has been a good material for making sword scabbards.

The snakeskin has a natural pattern that adds to the beauty of the scabbard, the snakeskin is extremely tough and can protect the sword, and the snakeskin can also block water vapor and prevent the sword from rusting.

Especially in the humid southern zone, long swords made of metal are prone to rust, so it is even more necessary to have anti-rust treatment.

The giant python that attacked Ye Changsheng was obviously the king of this area, although it was not a demonic beast, it already had attribute spiritual power, and the snakeskin was also extremely tough.

Ye Changsheng observed for a moment, carefully cutting off a small piece of snake skin.

Take out two metal marbles from the storage space, one of which is wrapped in snake skin and stuffed into your waist bag.

Probably after this evening, he could see the effect of snakeskin against rust and moisture by comparing the rust of the two marbles.

The giant python, which was in great pain, suddenly regained its freedom, swooped up the branches, and crawled away in a blink of an eye.

Ye Changsheng flew up to the branches of the ancient tree, sat down cross-legged in the yoga posture of "snake dance".

The original intention of traveling is to feel all things in the world and enhance the experience of life.

So along the way, Changsheng prefers to meditate in a natural environment rather than enter the realm of the gara.

Even if he didn't deliberately cultivate, Changsheng could clearly feel that his cultivation and realm had improved significantly.

Under the mystery of the "Snake Dance", the whole body of Changsheng relaxes, and the bones and muscles automatically sit and adjust slightly.

Body, mind, and spirit, the three reached a mysterious balance, and Ye Changsheng and the branches under him merged into one.

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight swept across Ye Changsheng's forehead, Ye Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.

More and more sunlight is shining through, and the whole world becomes transparent and vibrant.

Ye Changsheng felt it quietly for a moment, and floated down from the branches.

The bones of the whole body made a crackling sound, and the meridians flowed with incomparably pure spiritual power.

The three hundred and sixty-one spirit cores in the body exude a warm light, and after reining in the brilliance of the past, they also have a calm temperament.

The unprecedented stability of the energy system also made Ye Changsheng's state of mind stable.

Ye Changsheng sensed the changes in his heart and was overjoyed, his current cultivation should have been promoted to the middle level of the True Martial Realm.

The cultivation of the True Martial Realm is a process of continuous condensation and growth of the energy system, and every advancement is the inevitable result of the energy becoming stronger, and it does not require too much realm comprehension.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the cultivation of Wuxu and the Demon Bell to skyrocket from a half-step supreme to a half-step innate in just two years.

Changsheng can't compare with those two perverts, and he can't compare with him.

According to his estimates, in about a year, he can advance to the high level of the True Martial Realm, the Transformation Realm, the Peak, and then become a half-step supreme.

This speed is already very fast, of course, provided that the spirit stones he cultivates can keep up.

After cleaning his clothes with spiritual power, Ye Changsheng took out two metal marbles from his waist bag.

The marbles wrapped in snake skin, without the slightest trace of rust, were as bright as new, and the marbles that were not wrapped in any were already wrapped in a damp black layer.

Ye Changsheng was surprised, the anti-rust effect of snake skin was beyond his expectations.

Since it's a good thing, it's natural to put it away.

The divine sense was opened, and Ye Changsheng instantly locked on the location of the giant python.

With a flick of his wrist, he summoned the Anemo Bow, and two arrows were snapped on the bowstring, and he let it out.

Aggressive!

The arrows flashing with blue light were nailed deep into a towering ancient tree, along with the tail and head of the giant python, and also nailed to the trunk.

Collected the arrows, skinned them, took out the snake gall and swallowed it.

Briefly handling the snakeskin, Changsheng carried his bow and arrows, and walked briskly towards the depths of the dense forest.

There are still three days left before the rendezvous with the magic bell.

Three days is enough time for Changsheng to collect more materials, and maybe one day, he will also become a master gatherer.
