Chapter 36: The Beginning of the Treasure Hunt

When he knew that he was going to go to the wilderness to practice, Yu Zheng spent more than three months looking through the various classics about the wilderness in the Giant Sword Gate.

In the next half a day, Yu Zheng explained to Chang Shan and the others in detail some of the things that needed to be paid attention to in the wilderness experience, as well as the details of the earth attribute treasures he was looking for.

After talking about what he was going to say, Yu Zheng asked everyone to recall what he said, and closed his eyes.

Although the speed of the giant sword's flight was fast, because Juque City was too far away from the wilderness, it took the giant sword half a month to fly to the edge of the wilderness.

When they reached the edge of the wilderness, the middle-aged man who controlled the giant sword controlled the giant sword and fell to the ground.

After everyone got down from the giant sword, the middle-aged man stood in the void, and after sweeping around everyone's faces, he said in a deep voice: "As long as you can safely reach the Black Water Swamp more than 30,000 miles and 2,000 miles due south within a year, you will be considered to have completed this experience." What you will gain in the process depends on how many opportunities you encounter and how much effort you have put in. ”

After saying this, the middle-aged man did not summon the giant sword that he put away, and the yellow light on his body flashed, and he turned into a yellow light and flew away, flying faster than the speed of the giant sword flying before.

After the middle-aged man flew away, all the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect greeted each other and dispersed with their attendants.

Seeing that the other disciples of the Giant Sword Sect were all walking quickly towards the depths of the Giant Sword Gate with their attendants, and Yu Zheng walked very slowly, and it seemed that he had no intention of moving forward quickly, Wan Ziming couldn't help but speak: "Senior brother, why don't you seem to be in a hurry at all?"

Yu Zheng withdrew his gaze from the depths of the wilderness and said with a smile: "Why should I be in a hurry?"

"This ......"

Wan Ziming hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say what he wanted to say.

Seeing this, Yu Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Among the hundred senior brothers who came to the wilderness to experience this time, I am the only cultivator who has cultivated the power of the earth. If there is a treasure in front of me that suits me, it will be a little more difficult, and they will not waste time in taking it. ”

Hearing Yu Zheng's explanation, everyone nodded with a clear face.

The most marginal part of the Wild Lands is a low, hilly terrain, not very high, but very numerous.

Before Yu Zheng and the others reached the nearest hill, the cultivators who had separated from them before had already disappeared between the mountains.

There are no special trees on the hills at the edge of the Savage Lands, but much of the grass growing underground is unique to the Savage Lands.

Most of these grasses are food for poisonous insects, and poisonous insects are often hidden in the grasses.

The poison of most of the poisonous insects on the edge of the wilderness could not hurt the lives of Chang Shan and the others, but after everyone entered the mountain, they still tried to avoid the places where that kind of grass grew.

After climbing three mountains in a row, Yu Zheng suddenly stopped in front of a small valley.

Seeing that Yu Zheng stopped, Chang Shan glanced at Che Yonglu beside him, and then looked towards the place where Yu Zheng's eyes were indicated.

Yu Zheng was looking at a tree, a ghost locust tree that looked very ordinary.

Walking in front of the ghost locust tree, Yu Zheng peeled off a piece of dry and cracked bark, pointed to the small white dot on it and said, "This is anteater mink droppings!"

Hearing Yu Zheng's words, everyone noticed that there was a small white spot on the ghost locust tree in front of them.

The area of the small white dots is not large, and it is not too clear, if it were not for Yu Zheng's reminder, everyone would not have noticed these small white dots at all.

"Senior Brother Yu means there is an anteater nearby?"

Yu Zheng nodded, took Wan Ziming's words and said: "Anteaters generally live in places with relatively large ant nests, and on the edge of the wilderness, the ants in the most common mountains are the yellow-veined black ants that feed on black-hearted grass. If there are yellow-striped black ants in this area, there must be patches of black-hearted grass. ”

After everyone glanced around, Lu Qian answered: "Senior Brother Yu shouldn't be looking for black-hearted grass!"

"Not bad!"

Yu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "In the vicinity of patches of black heart grass, there are generally jujube trees. ”

Fire dates cannot be used for alchemy, and they are not considered elixirs, but long-term use of fire dates can make a cultivator's true essence more refined.

Since jujube trees are difficult to transplant, the value of a jujube is no less than that of a century-old ginseng.

If everyone finds a few jujube trees, it will be a big harvest.

"Blackheart grass is a small black grass that is two or three fingers high, and it usually grows in patches and is easy to find. Everyone looked for it separately, and whoever found the jujube tree belonged to whom. Half an hour later, we'll meet here. ”

"Yes!"

The crowd answered, and they scattered.

Chang Shan searched alone for about a quarter of an hour before he found a patch of black heart grass.

After discovering the black-hearted grass, Chang Shan glanced around, but he didn't see the jujube tree, so he concentrated on looking for it in the middle of the black-hearted grass.

After a while, Chang Shan's eyes lit up, and he bent down and twisted a yellow-veined black ant in the black-hearted grass.

The yellow-veined black ant is not much bigger than a common ant, but its strength is not small, and although its pincers cannot pinch Chang Shan's fingers, it can also make him feel a clear sense of pain.

"This little thing has a lot of strength!"

Muttering to himself, Chang Shan's eyes flashed with dark golden brilliance, and he used the secret method in the "Soul Sutra" to suck out the soul of the yellow-veined black ant in his hand.

Urging the secret method, Chang Shan used his Yuan Shen power to suck the soul of the yellow-veined black ant into his left eye.

After the yellow-veined black ant entered Chang Shan's left eye, Chang Shan's left eye saw countless black shadows around him, and these black shadows were the special aura of communication with the same kind exuded by the yellow-veined black ant.

The secret method that Chang Shan used was the same as the secret method he used last time when he used the sable to eavesdrop on the conversation of Gao Yi and others, and it was all spiritism.

Now, Chang Shan used this spiritism to find the yellow-veined black ants, and in the depths of the wilderness, when those southern barbarians used this spiritism, it was usually to avoid poisonous insects.

Seeing countless black shadows at once, Chang Shan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, he was not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly suppressed the feeling of discomfort in his heart.

"If there is a jujube tree in the vicinity, it can only be in the middle of that grass and vine. ”

Thinking about it, Chang Shan walked to the grass vine not far away, and opened the grass vine with the coiling dragon stick in his hand.

In the middle of the vines, Changshan saw two jujube trees more than three feet high. The jujube tree is dark red throughout, but the jujube on the tree is fiery red. On the two jujube trees, more than 20 fire dates were borrowed from each one, and there were as many as 53 in total.

Chang Shan carefully observed the situation inside the grass vine with the power of the primordial spirit, then moved to the edge of the grass vine and picked all the fire dates on the two jujube trees.

Three fire dates can almost buy a spirit stone, and fifty-three is seventeen or eighteen spirit stones.

Getting seventeen or eighteen spirit stones so easily is definitely a good start.

"I don't know what the jujube tastes like?"

After Chang Shan picked up a jujube and swallowed it, he put the remaining jujube in his hand into a storage bag.

The jujube also has a little sour taste, but compared to the ordinary jujubes that Changshan ate when he was a teenager, the jujube has no jujube core, and after biting into it, the mouth is filled with a very unique sweetness.

After eating two more dates in a row, Chang Shan went to other places to look for them.

With the help of the yellow-veined black ant soul in his left eye, two or three hundred zhang away, Chang Shan could know where there were large yellow-veined black ants in front of him, and then he could also know where there was a large area of black-hearted grass in front of him, and his speed of finding the jujube tree was naturally much faster than others.

When Chang Shan returned to the place where they had been separated, he found a total of nineteen jujube trees and picked nearly five hundred.

The people did not inquire about each other's gains, and when they had all arrived, they continued to move on.

For most of the next half a month, every day, everyone will have some harvest to a greater or lesser extent. In fact, compared to these gains, the biggest gain of everyone was to learn a lot from Yu Zheng how to find treasures.

With the harvest, everyone was naturally very happy.

On this day, everyone had no new harvest, but He Sanchuan was very unlucky to be bitten by a scorpion.

In the Savage Lands, most of the poisonous insects would not take the initiative to attack cultivators who had entered the Savage Lands to train. He Sanchuan was bitten by a scorpion, but because when he was picking a century-old white grass root, his hand accidentally touched a poisonous scorpion hidden under the white grass root.

He Sanchuan had an antidote pill on his body, but his pill failed to help him get rid of the scorpion poison in his body, not only that, even the antidote elixir that Yu Zheng took out failed to poison the scorpion in his body.

Seeing that He Sanchuan's face was already covered with dead gray, everyone's hearts were cold, and the joy in their hearts because of the harvest in the past few days disappeared without a trace.

"Senior Brother Yu, what should I do?"

When Wan Ziming spoke, everyone turned their eyes to Yu Zheng.

"I'm trying to help him stay alive with True Yuan, and whether he can escape this catastrophe depends on his creation. ”

Yu Zheng took a deep breath, sat cross-legged behind He Sanchuan, pressed his hand on He Sanchuan's back, and slowly infused his true yuan into He Sanchuan's body.

Half an hour later, when Yu Zheng's face turned pale because of the excessive consumption of True Yuan, the dead gray on He Sanchuan's face finally receded.

Seeing this scene, everyone let out a long breath.

Opening his mouth and spitting out a large mouthful of black blood, He Sanchuan opened his eyes.

After sweeping around everyone's faces, He Sanchuan turned his head and arched his hand at Yu Zheng and said: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, if Senior Brother Yu has a place to be in the future and go to the soup and fire in the future, you will not hesitate." ”

"Senior Brother He is serious!"

Yu Zheng replied with a smile, looked up at everyone and said, "Senior Brother He and I need to recover, please protect the Dharma for us for a while." ”

"We will pay close attention to the movements around us, so you can just cultivate with confidence. ”

Wan Ziming replied, and everyone nodded in unison.

More than three hours later, when Yu Zheng and He Sanchuan recovered, everyone continued to walk forward.

With the lessons of the past, everyone was obviously more cautious in the process of traveling.
