Chapter 257: Inquire about the news
The lack of spiritual energy on the earth, not only is the cultivation environment extremely poor, but even the spiritual fruit elixir has lost the environment on which it depends, but there are always exceptions to everything, for example, some cultivation relics, the original location is relatively special, and it is possible to retain individual spiritual fruit trees, but the quality is not as good as before.
For example, in Su Hongye's Cave Mansion, Chen Cheng got the elixir and the magical little tree at the beginning, although the little tree was alive, it did not grow up, and when the small tree was transplanted to the Linglong Heavenly Mansion, it began to grow strongly, and it bore fruit smoothly, which is the reason for the lack of spiritual energy in the outside world.
Chen Cheng can find individual spirit fruits and still talk about the past, others can't find it because the opportunity is not enough, and if he can't get it, it doesn't mean that others can't, but if he takes out a bottle of spiritual liquid, it won't make sense, so this kind of anti-heaven treasure is best to hide quietly, and this kind of ordinary thing is enough to make Lieshan Jin feel shocked.
Among the items that have auxiliary effects on cultivation, the things that Chen Cheng can't look down on are all incredible treasures in the eyes of others, so when he opened the jade box and revealed the spirit fruit inside, even if it was as strong as Lieshan Jin, he couldn't help but be moved, and looked at Chen Cheng suspiciously, waiting for him to announce the answer.
Dare to take out these fruits, Chen Cheng is not afraid that others will not believe it when he says it, he has already thought of a statement, "These are all accidental gains I obtained in the primeval forests of Africa, but most of them have been taken by me, and now there are so many left, I hope that the predecessors will not dislike it!"
"What? Africa, how can there be such a thing there?"
It's not that Lieshan Jin doesn't believe what Chen Cheng said, but this answer is too unexpected, and since ancient times, monks have only appeared in Huaguo. Africa is a foreign race, and I have never heard of the appearance of cultivation resources, Chen Cheng's words are really unbelievable.
Chen Cheng smiled lightly. Put the lid of the jade box on the table, take out an apricot-sized spirit fruit from it and hand it to Lieshan Yuheng, who was watching, "Sister Yuheng, can you taste it and then evaluate the efficacy of this spirit fruit?"
Let's not talk about whether the spirit fruit is good or not, at least it looks very tempting, although the Lieshan clan has a lot of elixirs. It also produces the Spirit Valley, but it grows so big, and it is the first time that Lieshan Yuheng has seen the Spirit Fruit. To say that he didn't want to eat it must be a lie, seeing Chen Cheng handing it to himself, he wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, so he turned his head to look at her grandfather. She waited for her grandfather to speak, so she could make a decision.
"Take it. Just taste what it tastes like. ”
As soon as Lieshan Jin's voice fell, Xiao Yuheng had already neatly taken the spirit fruit from Chen Cheng's hand, and regardless of whether it needed to be cleaned or not, she took a bite directly, after all, she was a child, and the fragrance of the spirit fruit was extremely attractive, how could she stand the temptation of deliciousness.
A small spirit fruit made Xiao Yuheng reveal her true nature, looking at her hurried posture, where is there still a girl's reserve. Lieshan Jin and Chen Cheng also watched her movements funny, and happily waited for the evaluation.
Seeing that Chen Cheng did not answer his own question. Instead, he took the spirit fruit out for his granddaughter to try, and Lieshan Jin understood that it must have another intention, and he also waited patiently to hear what was going on.
Lieshan Jin quickly got feedback from his granddaughter, watching Xiao Yuheng clench her shoulders, squint her eyes, and grinned: "Hey, it's so sour......! It's still bitter! But there is a ...... There is a small amount of Reiki ......"
"Haha......" The granddaughter's exaggerated expression made Lieshan Jin laugh, he naturally knew that although the taste of some spirit fruits was not delicious, but the medicinal value was great, if it was rich in spiritual energy, it could be used for alchemy, and there would be no such embarrassment that was difficult to swallow.
"It's so unpalatable! I don't eat it! I don't eat it...... Chen Cheng, you deliberately manipulated me, right?" Hearing his grandfather's laughter, Lieshan Yuheng swallowed the spirit fruit in the air in pain, and pointed at Chen Cheng with an angry face.
Chen Cheng still had a smile on his face, this was a joke at most, he didn't mean to be tricky, and then explained: "Although this spirit fruit is not delicious, it is extremely suitable for you, and others have little effect after eating it, but you are different, the medicinal effect of these spirit fruits will at least shorten your cultivation time by half a year!"
"Really, you can't lie to me!"
"I don't believe you will test it now, but this thing is really difficult to swallow, you can chop it up and mix it with honey to take it, and every time you take it, you should quickly meditate, refine the medicinal effect, and you will immediately find its wonderful use. ”
After Chen Cheng finished explaining, Lieshan Yuheng glared at him in disbelief, gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a lot of determination, "Okay! You wait here, I'll try, if you dare to lie to me again, see if I don't ...... See if I don't ......."
"Okay, Chen Cheng wouldn't lie to you as a child, go!" Seeing that his granddaughter's words were not like words, Lie Shan Jin hurriedly stopped.
After Xiao Yuheng picked up most of the remaining spirit fruits, pouted and ran out, Chen Cheng put away his smile and said seriously: "The reason why Sister Yuheng was allowed to test the medicine is because these spirit fruits have one thing in common, that is, the aura contained is extremely limited, but the medicinal effect is very sufficient. ”
Chen Cheng's words made Lieshan Jin not understand for a while, what this had to do with the question he asked before, he was puzzled in his heart, but there was no trace on the surface, and he waited patiently for Chen Cheng to continue.
"The cultivators cultivate spiritual fruits, and the value is measured by the amount of spiritual energy contained in them, as well as the internal efficacy, so the spiritual fruits that have always been found are directly taken in taste, and used as alchemy, and the sour and astringent ones are used as alchemy, and it is precisely this reason why these fruit trees can be preserved......
Under Chen Cheng's detailed explanation, Lieshan Jin finally understood what he meant, it was not that there were no spiritual fruits in other places, but that once good things were discovered, they were transplanted to Huaguo by the monks, so everyone mistakenly thought that only Huaguo produced spiritual fruits, and other places would never appear.
And these spirit fruit trees, even if they were discovered at the beginning, it is estimated that no one will be able to take a fancy to them, because it can't absorb too much spiritual energy, but it has been preserved in its original place, and it is also quite special to think about coming to that place, which is also the reason why Chen Cheng has been hiding there to cultivate.
Chen Cheng not only found an excuse for the origin of the spirit fruit, but also gave a brief explanation of his whereabouts in the past few years, and at the same time, Lieshan Jin did not inquire about the specific location, so that the set of lies prepared by Chen Cheng was useless.
He wanted to say that he felt that the aura there was strong, and he could finally build a foundation after a few years of cultivation, but after building the foundation, he found that all the good places were destroyed by himself, and even a few spirit fruit trees were not spared, no need to elaborate on it, a lie is a lie after all, and it can't withstand careful scrutiny, if someone has a heart to find fault, he will definitely be able to find the loopholes in his words.
After the two chatted casually for a few more words, Chen Cheng finally got the topic to the right point, the main purpose of his visit this time was to verify the integration of the small enchantment sect, and the previous nonsense was just to bring the relationship between the two closer.
"Senior, early this morning, when I went to the small enchantment, I learned about the integration of the sect, the seniors knew that I had broken through retreat in the past few years and had not gone out, so I really didn't know the slightest bit of news, I don't know if the seniors could tell me the specific process at that time?"
Hearing Chen Cheng's question, Lieshan Jin frowned slightly, his eyes staring at the bonsai tree in the small courtyard through the gate, but his mind was thinking about where to start.
Although the Lieshan clan lives in seclusion in the outside world, they are a member of the cultivation realm after all, and the inside story is very clear, he has also heard that the person who spread the news of Dragon Bone Ridge in the first place is the female disciple of Chen Cheng and Zhang Wei, Liu Zizai and Ma Yun have always held a grudge against them, but they are not just going to bother to find such a small person as Chen Cheng.
In Lieshan Jin's opinion, with the current scale of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the power of all sects has been integrated, as long as Chen Cheng lives on the earth, it is not difficult to find him, but Liu and Ma don't want to spend this energy for a Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng should be glad for this.
In fact, Chen Cheng wants to hide, there are too many hiding places, Qinling Cave Mansion, overseas islands, and the Extreme North Secret Realm are all places that others can't find, Lieshan Jin can't imagine that he has so many opportunities, others have never even seen what the ruins look like in their lives, Chen Cheng has not only been there, but also has all of them in his own hands, and others just want to go in and have no chance.
After a long time, Lieshan Jincai sighed and said: "Liu Zizai is hiding too deeply, everyone didn't expect him to be alive, let alone what treasures he got in Dragon Bone Ridge, it didn't take long for him to achieve Jindan in one fell swoop......"
Lieshan Nishiki recounted the events that had happened in the past few years in the small enchantment while reminiscing, mentioning that Liu Zizai's breakthrough of Jindan caused a vision of heaven and earth, and the scene at that time Lieshan Nishiki is still vivid, and it is said that his breakthrough not only disturbed the high-level leaders of Huaguo, but even the United States felt panic.
Chen Cheng had never seen with his own eyes how much heaven and earth vision would be caused by breaking through the Golden Pill, but from the movement of his breakthrough to build the foundation, it should be extremely spectacular, this may be the only monk on the earth who has broken through the Golden Pill in the past two hundred years, of course, it will cause unnecessary panic.
But why didn't Liu Zizi break through the small enchantment, and had to go to the outside world to show off? He still didn't ask this question in the end, and it is estimated that Lieshan Jin did not know the reason, and it was also not the focus of his attention.
After Liu Zizai broke through, Xiu Wei began to implement the integration plan as soon as he was stable, and no one agreed to it at first, but after he showed his strength once, all the sects obediently gave up resistance and chose to compromise.
There is only one result of the rebellion, that is, the destruction of the door, from the demise of the Longmen faction, it can be seen that Liu and Ma are ruthless, it is better to die than to live, even if there are one or two bloody elder sect masters, the change of the overall situation is still useless, and the integration process is surprisingly smooth, which is also something that Lieshan Jin never expected.
Maybe Liu Zizi's pace was too big, and his thoughts were too impatient, after he cleaned up a few heretics, he used the excuse of integrating resources to achieve the goal of occupying the cultivation resources of various sects.
At this time, there was an accident, I heard that the Jindan monk who lived in seclusion overseas made a move, injured Liu Zizai, and warned him to leave, which slowed down the whole process, and no one saw the specific process, it was just speculation, as of now, the resources of each sect are still in the hands of the original master.
