Su Chen used the Wood Concealment Technique to merge with a towering ancient tree in the dense jungle, constricting his aura and hiding his body in the jungle.

His wood concealment technique had reached a level of proficiency, and there were almost no flaws. Not only is it impossible to distinguish the appearance, but also the divine mind cannot be searched.

Even if there was a foundation building monk passing by a few zhang from the side, it was difficult to find that there was a wood-type immortal cultivator hidden in the ancient tree.

For a long time, Su Chen didn't dare to make the slightest movement.

The whole dark and deep forest was silent. A little light leaked through the dense treetops, reflecting the green and eerie atmosphere in the mottled old vine forest.

There are only a few poisonous insects and moths, flying in the air. Maybe it's because in the secret territory of Wushan, the aura is too rich and abundant. So much so that the spirit insects here are generally larger than the outside world.

Su Chen wasn't sure if that scream was killed by the demon beast, or was he killed?

After a few hours, Su Chen estimated that the murderous monk or demon beast might have left this jungle.

But he still didn't let his guard down and showed his figure. Instead, he carefully controlled a wild spirit butterfly and flew over from the treetop branches of the towering ancient trees to investigate the situation.

The wild spirit butterfly flew thousands of feet away and came to a hundreds of feet near the green water park. In the center of the water pool, there is a thousand-year-old three-color spiritual lotus floating, blooming three-color lotus, the wood-colored lotus is verdant, the red lotus is like a flame, the water-colored lotus is clear and blue, and the lotus is swaying. One of them has already been contracted with lotus seeds, which exudes a strong aroma.

Around Shuibo, some unknown demon beast white bones can be seen everywhere, emitting phosphorescence.

A disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect who chose to go on the road alone and was dressed in white obviously found this thousand-year-old three-color spiritual lotus here and wanted to pick it.

As a result, the corpse fell in this shallow puddle.

Before he died, this disciple had a look of fear on his face, and he struggled with a magic weapon flying sword in one hand as if he wanted to stand up, but unfortunately he only let out a scream before he died.

His hands, feet, and face were covered with jet-black hues, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of demon snake or demon insect, piercing his body shield and piercing his body.

The magic weapon flying sword in this person's hand has not been taken away, and a Sumeru ring on his finger is still there. This is confirmed from the side.

"The thousand-year-old three-color spirit lotus, this is a third-order high-grade alchemy medicinal material for alchemy, and the 'three-color lotus seed pill' can be taken by Jindan monks, and it is worth more than forty or fifty thousand spirit stones! Otherwise, it would not be possible to survive until now, and there are still lotus seeds. ”

Su Chen's expression was shocked.

According to the rules of the battle, the spiritual objects obtained by the Zhuji monks in the secret territory of Wushan are allowed to be taken away by themselves. It can also be regarded as an additional harvest, which is very beneficial to future cultivation.

For the vast majority of Foundation Builders, there was almost no possibility of obtaining ten Mystic Spirit Fruits. But if you can find a large number of spiritual objects, it is also a great harvest.

Therefore, some monks in the middle stage of foundation building have given up competing for spiritual fruits, and instead collected these valuable thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the secret territory of Wushan.

"In this way, it's probably a false alarm! I'm afraid this person wanted to pick three-color spirit lotus seeds, but he was poisoned by the demon beasts lurking in the water!"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment.

Of course, without looking through the body carefully, it cannot be completely ruled out that he killed him. Perhaps the killer is still lurking nearby, waiting for someone else to come and find out.

Su Chen was thinking about whether to wait a few more hours, if no one showed up, he would go over and pick the things left by that person, as well as the three-color spirit lotus.

The thousand-year-old three-color spirit lotus is worth more than forty or fifty thousand, and the magic weapon on the monk's body is probably not less than tens of thousands of spirit stones, and here it is one hundred thousand spirit stones that can be obtained. The group of Mithril Spirit Devouring Flying Ants he raised were so edible that he could barely save many spirit stones in the past few years.

Su Chen was about to leave, when he suddenly pricked up his ears and heard a slight movement again.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

However, I saw that three monks in the late stage of foundation building, an old man and two middle-aged monks, came together silently and arrived near this water.

They had heard the screams before, and had been dormant for a long time, but there was no movement, and then they came to investigate the situation. Found the dead and the tricolor lotus in Mizuzawa.

"It was actually Senior Brother Wang Ren who died, he was a master in the late stage of foundation building, and it was not a problem for one person to have two or three monks of the same level! Senior Brother Li, you see how he died!"

"The wound was on the soles of his feet, and it was likely that he wanted to pick the three-color spirit lotus, but he was stabbed in the foot by the poison hidden in the water, and died of poisoning. ”

The two middle-aged monks talked in a low voice.

But another old man was more cautious, and directly used a flying sword to cut open the deceased's poisoned foot, and unexpectedly dug out a three-inch-long poisonous nail from the wound.

"Bone Erosion Soul Chasing Nail! This is made of filth and poison, soaked for decades! It is a sharp weapon for breaking the gang and breaking the armor, and it is actually this kind of evil thing!"

The old man was startled and exclaimed in a low voice, his expression couldn't help but be shocked.

This is clearly a murder by someone. If the autopsy is not carried out carefully, it is likely that it is believed that it was killed by poison. Moreover, the use of this kind of yin damage vessel is almost the same as that of a demon monk.

The faces of the two middle-aged men also changed.

Most of the foundation building monks will take care of the feelings of their fellow disciples and will not easily kill them. But as soon as he entered the secret realm of Wushan, he found that someone had died, and this murderer was a little too unscrupulous.

Moreover, the perpetrator neither took away the deceased's magic weapon, nor did he pick the three-color spirit lotus, obviously the purpose was simply to eradicate the competitor, and killing one person would leave one less competitor.

"It seems that in this battle, some people are merciless in order to compete for the spirit fruit, and they want to fight to the death!"

"We can't have the kindness of a woman, we should be ruthless! Otherwise, we will become someone else's prey sooner or later! Let's go, go to the center of the Wushan Secret Realm! There are many dangerous places over there, and the spirit fruit is easier to find. ”

The three of them looked shocked and couldn't help but be ruthless.

They didn't touch the relics of the corpse and the three-colored spirit lotus in the center of Mizuzawa, and left quickly and decisively.

Those artifacts are very troublesome things, and if they are seen, maybe the family of the deceased thinks that they killed them.

And if you want to get the three-color lotus, I'm afraid that you will have to fight with the powerful demon beasts lurking in the water and consume your strength. Their target was the Spirit Fruit, and this kind of distraction to fight demon beasts was obviously unwise.

...

Su Chen looked through the wild spirit butterfly in the treetops, and when he saw the scene just now, he shivered and was stunned for a while.

That senior brother actually died under the Bone Erosion Soul Chasing Nail.

It seems that he has underestimated the danger of this year's battle for spiritual fruits. The so-called brotherhood of fellow disciples is still unable to resist the great temptation of becoming a Jindan monk.

He pondered for a long time, but did not rush to the most lively central area in the secret territory of Wushan like the three of them just now.

At the outskirts of the Wushan Secret Realm, Su Chen found a giant tree of several zhang to dig out a tree hole, laid down a simple shielding formation, and lurked directly, without immediately going to the central area to search for the whereabouts of the spirit fruit.

From the Sumeru ring, he took out the huge golden vitality peach that Zhuang Luyi had lent him.

Before entering the Wushan Secret Realm, he did not take this Vitality Peach to promote cultivation.

In fact, the reason is also simple, purely to make the other more than 200 mid-to-late stage foundation building monks feel that he is just a sixth-layer foundation building monk, and it is impossible to grab the spirit fruit, and there is not much threat.

Those who really have the strength to win the spiritual fruit are all the top monks of the ninth layer of the foundation building. The cultivation is high, the magic weapon is high, and the spell is strong, and it surpasses other foundation building monks in almost every aspect.

If he took this Vitality Peach in advance, directly cultivated to skyrocket, and stepped into the realm of the ninth layer in the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop, I am afraid that many monks would be shocked, and beware of him, treating him as a thorn in the side.

This is the reason why Su Chen has not taken the Yuanqi Peach for a long time.

But now, he is already in the secret territory of Wushan, and he must eat the Yuan Qi Peach as soon as possible to enhance his cultivation. Otherwise, as a sixth-layer foundation building monk, he is not optimistic among the many mid-foundation building monks.

Su Chen took a big bite of the vitality peach, and the vitality was as thick as juice, which melted into the abdomen and was quickly absorbed by the body. Without going through the transformation of the spiritual essence, the vitality surged to the Mud Pill Palace.

This Yuan Qi Peach was indeed abundant, many times stronger than what he had eaten before.

After Su Chen ate the Yuan Qi Peach in three or five bites, he immediately meditated cross-legged and absorbed these Yuan Qi with all his might.

In just a few hours, he absorbed all the vitality in his body, and inhaled all of it into the Zhihai Spirit Mountain to raise his Qinglian Yuan Shen.

Su Chen looked at Lingshan and was shocked and ecstatic to find that after his Qinglian Yuan Shen had eaten his full vitality, the Qinglian petals opened three pieces one after another, and soon opened to the ninth petal.

A wood-based lotus flower of the Qinglian Yuanshen is in full bloom!

The blue light is lifelike, the light is bright and dazzling, like a priceless treasure in the world.

Su Chen couldn't help but open his eyes, and looked at it carefully over and over again, greatly excited.

It's too fierce!

It is simply advancing by leaps and bounds, and in one fell swoop it has stepped into the peak realm of the late stage of foundation building.

Jiang Laozu gave Zhuang Luyi this huge vitality peach, even if the early Jindan monks took it, they could also upgrade to a level of cultivation. Not to mention him, a mid-foundation monk!

Su Chen's Yuan Shen advanced by leaps and bounds, and he exploded close to the third order, but he felt that his body had not been tempered and improved enough, and he was very inconsistent with the peak realm of Yuan Shen Foundation Building, and he was strongly uncomfortable.

It's like a toddler who suddenly has great strength, but he doesn't have enough self-control, and he accidentally smashes things when he staggers. The body's tempering and control often need to be practiced for many years to be effective.

Su Chen simply retreated in the giant wood tree cave for half a month, and cultivated in a small space.

He gradually adapted to the nine-layer cultivation realm and body coordination in the foundation building period.

On this day, Su Chen opened his eyes after meditating, a ray of divine light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up suddenly.

Build the foundation of the nine-layer pinnacle!

Among the more than 200 foundation building monks, his cultivation is at least within the top tens. As for magic weapons, spells, spiritual pets and many other aspects, he was not afraid of other monks at all.

This vitality peach was borrowed by him from Zhuang Luyi at a high interest. After he concludes the golden pill, he will return Zhuang Luyi's double vitality peach.

It's time to go all out and compete for the Spirit Fruit!

In this battle for spiritual fruits, he is bound to win!

From a beast control bag, Su Chen released a huge Jindan-level blue ice flash butterfly several feet.
