Chapter 297: The Holy City (Part 2)
Out of the heavy wood city, soon into the wilderness. In the past, Tang Rui would definitely fly with his sword, but now he was not in such a hurry, because he had other things to do.
At the beginning, in the secret room of the King of Instruments, he had read through the ancient books that recorded the star stones, and he was familiar with the general distribution of various star stones. Since he was determined to refine weapons for his eight brothers, he naturally paid special attention to Xingshi. And this wild place, because there are few people, is the place where high-grade star stones are most likely to appear.
In addition to the star stones, there are also many rare medicinal materials that also grow in the wilderness. A few days passed, and a lot of medicinal materials were collected, and a few low-grade star stones were found, but not a single high-grade star stone above the third grade was found.
The king once said that "high-grade star stones can not be found", Tang Rui finally realized at this time, this looking for star stones is like finding a good partner, the more anxious it is, the more difficult it is to encounter, it can only be determined by fate. At the beginning in Qinghe Town, he was not hopeful, but he accidentally found Topaz, and now he is looking for it, but he finds nothing.
Thinking of this, his heart became more comfortable, practicing soul arts and talismans during the day every day, and alchemy and refining tools at night, and no longer bothered about finding nothing.
And so it went on for a few more days. On this day, Tang Rui practiced soul art wholeheartedly and forgot the hour, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Hearing the sound of his stomach, he suddenly realized that it was noon, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he looked at Xiaotian on the side, and he was already hungry.
"It's time to forage for food. Tang Rui thought, and finally stood up, Xiao Tian saw this, as if he knew something, and his eyes shone brightly. The little tail swaggers left and right, and it is very cheerful.
Although it is sparsely populated in the wilderness, the delicacies of the mountains are everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that there were still things to do, and it was a little lonely for another person to stay here, Tang Rui would really be happy to live his life here.
He took Xiao Tianjing to the grassy place, and after walking for a while, Xiao Tian's ears suddenly moved, and then he rushed forward and disappeared into the grass. Tang Rui had a smile on his face. The body is like electricity, and it follows closely.
There was a low hissing in his ears, and Tang Rui leaned forward to take a look. I can't help but be overjoyed, Xiaotian has become a big dog, and it is pressing a fat rabbit under its paws at this time. Although Tang Rui has a high level of cooking skills, he is an amateur when it comes to catching prey. Fortunately, there is Xiaotian, an excellent hunter. He can enjoy the game in the mountains every day.
If you want to roast a rabbit, you have to set up a grill first, not far away is a small forest, there are many broken branches on the ground, Tang Rui walked over to pick up some, there are still a few stones missing, he saw a lot of gravel scattered near the stone wall, so he walked over and wanted to pick up some to use.
He had just walked to the stone wall when he suddenly noticed something strange in his body. There was a look of surprise in his calm eyes: the sensations of his body told him that there were star stones here.
Tang Rui picked up one of the large pieces of rubble, and the stone got closer to him. The more intense the fluctuations in his body. Such a strong feeling was definitely not something that ordinary star stones could trigger, and even he began to doubt his good luck, he actually found another star stone of not low grade. Whether it was the red tooth and topaz found before, they were all sandwiched in an inconspicuous-looking stone, and this star stone was no exception, if it weren't for his star stone sensing power, he would never have thought that this inconspicuous stone in the large piece of rubble would hide a rare star stone. The King of Instruments once said that the higher the grade of the star stone, the higher the spirituality, the deeper the hiding, which is indeed true. Low-grade star stones can still be found according to the approximate distribution of those books, but high-grade stars can only be found without a trace, and can only be found with luck and patience.
With a flash of sword light, the mountain stone immediately cracked, and a dark green star stone was revealed. The star stone saw the light of day again, as if it was awakened, a faint green light flashed, and then a cloud of green gas gushed out, as soon as this green gas came out, the surrounding grass and trees immediately began to grow wildly, as if they had been enchanted, and the small sapling, which was originally only calf high, actually grew into a towering tree in an instant. Towering trees rose from the ground, these trees were so close that their branches were intertwined, Tang Rui was in the center, as if he was in a thorn bush, and the rapidly growing branches were like sharp knives, forming a forest of knives, surrounding him.
"Soul Terror!"
Tang Rui froze his mind, his eyes froze, and an invisible pressure swept from his body, and the green qi gushing out of the star stone was immediately frightened, and they drilled back into the star stone one after another. As soon as the green disappeared, the trees immediately stopped growing. Tang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, his face softened slightly, and he cautiously withdrew from the sword forest. Although the power of the high-grade star stone is tempting, it is really not easy to submit, if you are not careful, you may even have to take your life, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Ze was injured and almost died last time, he would not have sacrificed his life again and again. This soul deterrence is naturally a kind of soul art, which can exude a deterrent power from the whole body, which is wider and more powerful than the soul pressure, and Tang Rui can only work with such a blow after many days of practice.
Tang Rui picked up the star stone and looked at it carefully, this star stone shone with a faint green luster, and the texture on it was very similar to the annual rings, seeing this texture, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little. The record in the book of star stones came to his mind: "Heavenly wheel, wood is a second-grade star stone." It has an amazing growth power, enough to turn a desert into a forest in an instant. ”
It took so many days to find a high-grade star stone, but Tang Rui was already satisfied. Convinced that good fortune would not follow, he hastened his pace, and at dusk he finally flew out of the wilderness.
Out of the wilderness, he headed westward, and gradually there were people along the way, but Tang Rui kept going straight forward for a moment, and flew half a sound, he finally stopped, and his tired eyes shone brightly. In front of him was a huge circular city, and in the middle of the city was a large palace-like building, which Tang Rui knew was the temple that everyone admired in the Nine Great Cities. This large circular city is also called the Holy City because of the existence of the temple.
In the center of the temple is a huge circular high platform, that is the god platform, and the Nine Great Sect Shrine Martial Arts are held here.
Tang Rui had seen a map, the nine great cities of Heavenly Fire, Thunder, Quicksand, Imperial Wind, Amaterasu, Heavy Wood, Tianshui, Tianyin, and Zijin were approximately enclosed in a large circle, and the Holy City was in the center of this great circle. When the temple was fighting, the nine major sects set off at the same time, and they could reach the holy city almost at the same time, because the distance from each sect to the holy city was almost the same.
Tang Rui was going to return to Tianhuo City from Chongmu City, and he happened to pass through the Holy City on the way, he originally wanted to come and see it, plus when he left the Chu family, Master Xuxuanzi had told him to go to the temple to talk about it, and he had to come.
