The backpack space was limited, so Zhao Sheng picked and chosen, chose and chosen, and finally decided to put the nine most valuable elixirs, including Chihuo Zhi and the thousand-year-old elixir, into it.

Other elixirs, he didn't plan to take away.

Because carrying them will affect the flexibility of his body.

In such a dangerous place, sometimes a little slower movement can be fatal.

Zhao Sheng hasn't brought "hope" back yet, so naturally he won't lose a big deal because of a small one.

Just when he was busy digging for the elixir, a fishy smell suddenly rolled over in the clouds, Zhao Sheng was shocked, his body fell, and he rolled over, and pounced on the hiding place that he had already seen.

As soon as he hid himself, there was a flapping of wings overhead. He glanced out, and what had landed on the slope was the blood-winged lizard he had seen earlier.

The blood-winged flying lizard looked badly injured, with dark red horns and scales, numerous wounds on its body, and a languid expression, but it seemed to have come here with a strong purpose. After landing, instead of looking around, he directly found a tree root, stretched out his front paws, and dug down along the root.

It happened to be the place where Chihuo Zhi grows, and Zhao Sheng was not afraid of this demon bird discovering it, and he had a strong curiosity in his heart.

The blood-winged flying lizard had sharp claws, and soon dug several feet deep, revealing the soil layer below, and this guy took out a handful of soil with great skill, swallowed it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.

Maybe this "soil" really has medicinal effects, after swallowing this thing, the flying lizard actually lifted its spirits, and with a crank, spread its wings, fanned out a strong wind, and flew away.

Eating dirt?

Zhao Sheng jumped out of his hiding place and ran to the layer of soil dug by the flying lizard, and when he looked closely, there were sparse rhizomes left in the deep pit, and the soil was dark brown.

Other than that, nothing unusual was noted.

Zhao Sheng felt very strange, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil from the pit, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

Hey?

There is a faint fragrance emanating from the soil, and the smell is really light, that is, Zhao Sheng's nose is more sensitive than that of a dog, so he can detect it.

He tried to lick the dirt from his hand, and the taste was extremely bitter.

A thought suddenly came to Zhao Sheng's heart: "This... Could it be the legendary medicine mud? ”

Legend has it that when the elixir is not picked, it will wither and die naturally, and after thousands of years of corruption and weathering, it will turn into soil with medicinal properties, and after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, layers of medicinal soil will gradually generate a kind of "medicinal mud" that can accelerate the growth of the elixir.

This medicinal mud contains some medicinal effects and can be swallowed as a elixir, but it is far less "ripening" than its "ripening" properties.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng was extremely excited and began to quickly dig around on the slope.

After an hour, the slope becomes potholed. At this time, Zhao Sheng stood up with a mixed expression.

At this time, he found that this slope was not all medicinal mud, in fact, there were only traces of medicinal mud within a foot of the roots of dead trees.

It's just that he found another thing that shocked him very much.

There are no large trees on this slope, but there is a remnant of the root system of a large tree.

According to the results of the excavation, the dead tree roots protruding from the ground are only the tip of the iceberg, and most of the roots are buried under the soil and rocks, stretching in all directions, not only completely occupying the entire slope, but even spreading to the surrounding cliffs.

Zhao Sheng couldn't imagine how such a huge tree could grow in such a shady place, and what kind of behemoth it would be if such a big tree with such a root system still remained!

For some reason, the tree has broken and probably fallen into the bottomless abyss, and most of the remaining roots have also died, but a small part remains, creating a unique ecosystem here, and the dead roots have also turned into pieces of medicinal mud, which have become nutrients for the growth of countless elixirs in this slope.

With such a strange thing as medicinal mud, Zhao Sheng spent another hour and used the dug medicinal mud to carefully smear the nine elixirs tightly.

This not only ensures that the efficacy of the medicine is not lost, but also prevents the unpredictable danger caused by the spread of the medicinal fragrance.

As he was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, turned back to the slope, cut off a small piece of the root that looked more "fresh" with his dagger, and put it in his backpack.

After leaving the slope, Zhao Sheng began a long journey of pathfinding.

Tianzhu Mountain has the advantage that as long as you climb sideways, you will always turn to the other side of the mountain.

In fact, Zhao Sheng did the same.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Sheng finally broke free from the Death Treasure Land, and saw the sun and the sea of clouds again.

By this time he was covered in bruises and ragged clothes.

No one knows what hardships he went through during this period. And for this experience, Zhao Sheng was also silent and avoided talking about it.

……

A few months later, on the bank of the Lishui River, a roar suddenly came from the ancestral hall of the Zhao family's manor:

"Kneel down for Lao Tzu!"

Zhao Sheng looked at his son angrily, and his angry brain hurt.

Poof! Zhao Cheng, who looks like a tiger with a bear's waist and an unusually delicate appearance, knelt down for his father very simply.

"Dad, I know it's wrong!"

"Phew, you know what a fart! Over the years, I have told your mother bitterly about you many times. Where have you changed? ”

"After cultivating for decades, you can only cultivate to the third level of Qi refining. And your daughter-in-law is just a five-spirit waste root, but she is already a fifth-layer realm of qi refining. A four-spirit root is not even as good as a waste spirit root.

Come on, did you secretly give her the Lingyuan Pill again. ”

Zhao Sheng, who is already past the age of antiquity, still speaks like a bell, full of energy.

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and when he copied the rattan of the family law, he slapped his son's head and face.

Zhao Cheng has been promoted to the innate realm, and his body is rough and thick, so he doesn't care about the pain of flesh and skin.

While kneeling and being beaten, he defended: "Dad, you also know that I can't sit still since I was a child, and I doze off as soon as I cultivate. Anyway, it's a waste for me to take Lingyuan Pill, so it's better to give it to Qingqing. ”

Zhao Cheng said that the Qingqing in his mouth was named Han Qingqing, and he was born with a waste spiritual root.

Well, her father is Han Xuanwu.

It is said that more than ten years ago, after Zhao Sheng and Han Xuanwu escaped death from Fu Yanqing's men.

Zhao Sheng is nothing, but Han Xuanwu has been lucky because of this.

Because he promptly informed the Ziyang Sect that the demons of the Earth Flame Palace had killed and disguised themselves as disciples of the Ziyang Sect, and set up a bureau on Tianzhu Mountain to kill people and seize treasures

Therefore, he was able to worship the Purple Yang Sect.

Later, because of his high cultivation talent, he was accepted as a disciple by a monk in the late stage of foundation building. Since then, it has been out of control.

It only took more than ten years to rapidly improve from the sixth layer of gas refining to the ninth layer of gas refining.

Back then, Han Xuanwu was very grateful to Zhao Sheng for saving his life, and visited him many times.

The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and in the end, Han Xuanwu married his daughter to Zhao Cheng, and the two families simply became in-laws.
