Chapter 36: The Fruit of Life
Jiang Shengcai's promotion can be said to be a matter of course because of his strong enough accumulation, and it only took half a day to complete the gorgeous transformation from a junior qi practitioner to an intermediate qi practitioner, don't underestimate the improvement of this level, no matter how much true qi has increased by three times, the most important thing is that he can finally perfectly manipulate the two spiritual weapons he obtained, and his combat effectiveness has increased by at least five times.
According to the map, Zheng Dong took Jiang Shengcai to grope and sneak all the way towards the whispering forest, but after traveling for a while, both of them felt that something was wrong, because the forest was quiet.
The reason why this place is called the Whispering Forest is because the aura in the forest is too strong, and many plants and trees have been cultivated into spirits under the influence of the aura, and they communicate with a special kind of spiritual fluctuations, and people walk in it and are inadvertently disturbed by these fluctuations, as if they feel someone whispering in their ears.
Last time, Zheng Dong and the others fled in a hurry and were on the edge of the forest, and they felt a little whisper of the grass and tree spirits, but this time they had been walking in the forest for two hours, and their spirits were in a high degree of tension, and as a result, they didn't even touch a demon beast, even if the communication of the grass and tree spirits in the forest disappeared, in the feeling of the two of them, it seemed that they had entered not a forest full of life, but a dead place where everything was silent.
"Zheng Daoyou, the situation here is really too weird, it's better for us to withdraw and observe for a while, and then how to act, after all, there are still two months before the Sealing Spirit Realm will be closed. After being promoted to the fourth order, Jiang Shengcai's perception became more acute, and the heavy crisis grabbed his heart like a giant claw, making him not only retreat.
"The way of cultivation is to fight with the heavens and people, to find that glimmer of life in a crisis, if you encounter danger, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will form a habit, step by step, step by step, you will watch yourself being chased by others step by step, and finally insulated from the avenue. Zheng Dong looked at Jiang Shengcai and said these words very calmly.
Jiang Shengcai froze there, Zheng Dong's words were like a sharp sword, cutting his cowering heart in half, he now knew how big the gap between himself and the other party was, the other party could advance to the third order of qi cultivation at the age of less than thirty, and the talent of martial arts was on the one hand, and the more important thing was that the other party had a strong heart.
"Zheng Daoyou is right, since you choose to cultivate, you must have an indomitable heart, otherwise it is better to go to the store with Wang Jinyou, I Jiang Shengcai is only in his early fifties this year, and after advancing to the fourth order of Qi training, Yangshou is at least one hundred and twenty years old, and the time of sixty or seventy years may not be able to impact the foundation, and he has retired for half his life. ”
After Jiang Shengcai finished saying this, the momentum on his whole body suddenly changed, and the unstable aura that had just advanced had been consolidated a lot, this enlightenment made his Dao heart more clear and clear, and he seemed to have a feeling in his darkness that as long as he didn't fall halfway and gave another ten years, he had a great deal of confidence in impacting the seventh order of qi training.
The location of the wood attribute innate spirit treasure recorded on the map is still more than fifty miles away from Zheng Dong's current location, although it is not the center of the low forest, but it is also very deep, since there is an abnormal situation in the forest, the monsters and spirits in the forest have disappeared, and the two of them simply changed their previous caution and accelerated the progress of the line.
Half an hour later, they finally came to the destination of this trip, but the sight that touched the eyes made the hairs of the two of them stand up, a huge ancient tree, the diameter of the trunk is not more than a mile, like a dark green city wall, the tree is nearly 10,000 feet high, the crown of the tree is like a huge umbrella covering the sky and the earth, so that the people who see it can't help but sigh with tears in their eyes and sigh at the greatness of life.
What frightened Zheng Dong and the others was not the giant tree but the huge figures located under the tree, as well as those huge figures between the trunks, at a cursory glance, there were thousands of demon beasts gathered in front of them, of which one-third of the high-level demon beasts were above, and there were dozens of top-level demon beasts, the most eye-catching thing was that there were six humanoid demon beasts on each side, and no other demon beast dared to approach within a hundred zhang of the body, and the faint momentum on the body seemed to be stronger than the peak demon beast that the Flame Mountain had encountered before, obviously they were also quasi-demon generals.
This formation in front of him is not said to be Zheng Dong and the two of them, even a strong person who builds the foundation of the Great Perfection has to flee here, once he is besieged, he can only die of exhaustion, only after being promoted to Jindan, the inner cycle is repeated, and the world is endless, and the outside world is sympathetic, and from then on, the immortals are separated, and no matter how many low-realm creatures are, they are like ants, and they cannot pose any threat to the monks above Jindan.
The two of them held their breath and retreated four or five miles backwards in a row, convinced that they would not be noticed by those demon beasts, so they stopped, Zheng Dong suddenly frowned and said: "Strange, let's not talk about why these demon beasts gathered here, just say that the towering ancient tree, it is said that it should be seen even if it is a hundred miles away, why let's withdraw ten miles, the ancient tree disappeared, and it seems to be hidden by the entire forest." ”
Zheng Dong seemed to be talking to himself in doubt, but in fact he was asking the prison spirit hidden in his body, and he believed that the prison spirit like a great encyclopedia of cultivation should solve his doubts.
"It's normal not to see that tree, because a radius of ten miles just happens to be the coverage of its domain, and it is precisely because of the cover of the domain that as long as you are in the law of the Sealed Spirit Land, you will not see it. The prison spirit really didn't disappoint Zheng Dong, and said the mystery in one mouth.
"Domain? I remember you said that the domain is the sign of the strong in the Dharma phase, and within its realm, the strong in the Dharma phase can even change the laws of heaven and earth, and truly achieve the law of words, just like a god. Zheng Dong asked in disbelief.
"What's so strange about this, the grass and trees are also living beings, and there are not a few who have always attained the Tao, but compared to **, it is more difficult for them to be promoted, and it takes longer, of course, it can't be compared with the Terran monks, this ancient tree is at least 100,000 years old, born in the Middle Ages, if it is not for the catastrophe The laws of this realm are broken, it is not surprising that it is cultivated to the void. ”
"If that's the case, this ancient tree should be regarded as the demon king of this realm, could it be that those demon beasts were all summoned by it?
"Don't worry, that tree can only be regarded as the shell of a big demon strictly speaking, although the realm still exists, but the soul is gone, in fact, even if it is not, you have nothing to worry about, for example, if you suddenly see two ants crawling in your house, and then crawl away, will you follow to see, or take any means to deal with these two ants. ”
The words of the prison spirit made Zheng Dong completely speechless, thinking that he was not like an ant in front of the Faxiang True Monarch, even the remnant soul of the Ghost Spirit True Monarch, if he didn't feel the fluctuations in the space of heaven and earth, he would not have intersected with himself, and he made a mistake in his subjective consciousness this time, and he treated himself too much as a dish.
"Zheng Daoyou, it seems that most of the demon beasts in the Whispering Forest are concentrated here, what is the wood attribute innate spirit treasure you want to obtain, it won't be the towering ancient tree. Jiang Shengcai looked at Zheng Dong with a complicated expression and said, the time flow of thought exchange is very fast, Zheng Dong answered with the prison spirit, the outside world has actually just passed a breath.
Zheng Dong was just about to open his mouth to answer that he didn't know, and the voice of the prison spirit came from his mind again: "I know what this wood attribute innate spirit treasure is, it is not the soulless tree demon, but the fruit of life it produces." ”
"The fruit of life?" Zheng Dong said unconsciously in his mouth in confusion.
"That's right, look at the age of that tree, I'm afraid it must be 100,000 years old, it must have been handed down from the Middle Ages, and what can make so many demon beasts gather here must be the fruit of life, if I can get one or two of them, it will no longer be a dream for me to hit the foundation building period." Jiang Shengcai heard Zheng Dong's self-talk, and immediately said with a sudden realization, even if his face was wrapped in bandages, he could still see that he was very excited from his bloodshot eyes.
"Listening to Jiang Shengcai's words, it seems that there is more than one life fruit, my understanding is right! What is the use of life fruit, Jiang Shengcai heard it, and even ignored those terrifying demon beasts. Zheng Dong ignored Jiang Shengcai, who was a little out of control, and asked the prison spirit directly, it has almost become his habit to ask the prison spirit about something!
"The fruit of life, as the name suggests, is a fruit that contains a huge vitality, according to the different races of living beings, after swallowing the fruit, it will increase different yang lifespan, generally speaking, the human monks eat it, and the vitality will rise for about sixty to eighty years, and if the demon race eats it, the life span will rise by two hundred to five hundred years. ”
"In addition, the fruit also has a beneficial intellectual effect, after swallowing, it can make the Dao heart clear and greatly enhance the cultivation comprehension, similarly, this effect on the demon race is greater than that of the human race, because the wisdom of most demon beasts is limited than that of the beasts, the fruit of life only those ancient trees that are more than 10,000 years old will grow, and grow once every 10,000 years, the number of growth is related to the age of the ancient tree, basically one increase every 10,000 years, taking the ancient tree in front of you as an example, if it is 100,000 years old, there are ten ripe fruits this time. ”
"Ten pieces? Could it be that these ten life fruits are all wood attribute innate spirit treasures, is it just that I only need to get one of them. Zheng Dong asked the prison spirit excitedly, after all, snatching a spirit treasure is not the same as snatching a tenth of the spirit treasure.
"Don't be happy too early, remember what I said, if you want to get the ability of small supernatural powers, the spirit treasures you collect must be in the top ten in the primary level, and the ordinary life fruit is equivalent to the ordinary wood attribute spirit treasure, fortunately, this ancient tree should be 100,000 years old!"
"In addition to the ordinary life fruit, the ancient tree of more than 100,000 will also produce a fruit king, whose effect is three times that of the ordinary life fruit, and the life fruit king ranks seventh in the ranking of the primary innate five elements spirit treasure. Prison Ling's merciless words broke Zheng Dong's luck mentality.
