The years when I explored the fairyland

A few days later, in the forest and sea of ​​trees,

Chu Zhou held a long knife that he took out from his stored magic weapon and drew out streaks of light.

Although there is no sword energy, the blade is still chopping melons and vegetables.

I saw the vegetation blocking the road broken, vines flying, and a trail carved out.

Outside Chu Zhou's body, there was more aura rising. Although it was not completely released, the suppressed vast energy was like an oven roasting, and even the temperature of the surrounding air increased a lot, intimidating all parties.

As a result, on the trees, in the grass, and in the soil, densely packed snakes, insects, rats, and ants seemed to have encountered natural enemies and ran away frantically for their lives.

But even so, Chu Zhou still had a stinky face, and the long knife in his hand was swinging faster and faster, leaving an afterimage.

If you look closely, you can see that his free left arm is hung around his neck with a piece of white cloth. There are two clear blood holes on his forearm.

Although it didn't look big, the surrounding skin was a strange dark purple color, and tiny blood vessels were swollen and squirming at a slight rate.

He, the master of Xuanzhen Palace, a cultivator of both immortality and martial arts, a world-famous golden elixir monk, unexpectedly fell on a poisonous snake in this secret realm.

The venomous snake was no more than the thickness of a little finger. It was green all over and was hidden among the vegetation. It could easily be ignored if you weren't paying attention.

Then, while Chu Zhou wasn't paying attention, it gave him a bite.

Although after reacting, Chu Zhou directly gave it a head, severed limbs, and crushed its head in a three-combination package.

But the poison had already penetrated deep into Chu Zhou's body.

What made Chu Zhou even more helpless was that the toxin was very strange. It was not a conventional biological poison, but something like a nerve agent, causing his body to become paralyzed, convulsed, and uncontrollable.

Chu Zhou tried several methods of forcing poison, but to no avail.

The effects of Qi, blood, strength, and even mana are extremely poor, and can even be said to be useless.

In the end, he struggled to use a spell - the Spring Breeze and Rain Curse, to contain the spread of the poison, but even so, the injury on his arm could not heal for a long time.

This matter made Chu Zhou very unhappy. In this world, if he didn't say he was invincible, then that would be considered a no-no.

But when I arrived in the secret realm, I was really defeated one after another, and I lost my temper after being dealt with.

Moreover, he had to admit that after getting used to the high-to-high way of rushing to reach the goal, he switched to walking slowly on the ground.

Especially in this forest, like a mortal, having to go all the way through thorns and thorns, it's really not a good experience.

The ancients said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. At this moment, Chu Zhou had a different experience.

Furthermore, this forest seems ordinary, but in fact, every distance is the territory of a spiritual beast.

Chu Zhou stepped in rashly, and those with a good temper would roar and intimidate; those with a bad temper would start fighting directly.

Although Chu Zhou was not afraid, he also killed three to five spiritual beasts of various types along the way. Their bones and flesh were basically put into the temple of the five internal organs of him and the old Confucian scholar, and their fur became a collection of magic weapons.

But this feeling is still not good. No matter how strong he is, he doesn't want to keep fighting like this. It will be endless and annoying.

Simply, he later found a way to take the initiative to reveal part of his aura and show his strength.

In this way, anyone who thinks he is weaker than him will almost never appear in front of him, and even those snakes, insects, rats, and ants will run away.

As for those who feel they are stronger than him, they are not all brainless. Spirit beasts are actually very smart. As long as Chu Zhou communicates with others through gestures, it means that he is just passing by and can avoid part of the battle.

For the rest, those spiritual beasts that can't turn their brains around, just kill them directly, and there's nothing to say.

Of course, despite all the disadvantages, there is also one good thing, and that is that there are really many treasures here!

Chu Zhou's minor is Ling Zhifu, and he actually has a relatively deep understanding of vegetation. In theory, anyone who is contaminated with the spiritual power of heaven and earth can be called a Ling Zhi!

The spiritual power of heaven and earth supports this world and exists in every corner. It can be said that spiritual power also exists in every plant.

Therefore, although spiritual intelligence is rare in this world, there are not many spiritual plants, and there are also many that can be used to make elixirs.

This is also one of the things that Qingjing Lao Dao has to do.

He needs to study the elixirs, screen the spiritual plants, determine their medicinal properties, and then find substitutes bit by bit.

The final formula needs to be practiced and tried many times before the effect is finally determined.

Not to mention the difficulty of refining alchemy, the preliminary work is already very cumbersome!

In fact, most of the useful spiritual herbs and elixirs do not generate heat by themselves, making them look extraordinary at a glance.

They also have to follow the laws of evolution to survive and reproduce. How can they be like a luminous body that attracts bees and butterflies?

However, are there any elixirs that look extraordinary at first glance?

Of course there are some, they are all good treasures that have reached a higher level, and can even take the path of being a plant, tree, spirit, and monster. They are so-called treasures of heaven and earth!

It can be said that any one of these natural treasures can turn decay into a magical effect.

If it is used to make elixirs, as long as there are no mistakes, a real great elixir or even a magical elixir can be produced.

Or, swallow it directly, the effect is not bad!

This is recorded in "Ling Zhifu" and "Basics of Alchemy", but in the modern world, this kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure is so rare that it is almost non-existent. Chu Zhou has never seen it anyway.

But in this secret realm, in this sea of ​​forest trees, there really is one!

The surprisingly poisonous little green snake was guarding a small tree, similar to a bonsai, with three glowing red fruits on it.

The fruit is about the size of a longan, and its skin is like dragon scales. There is a red haze flowing on the skin, and it itself exudes a delicate fragrance.

Just one whiff makes me salivate and I want to swallow it!

However, Chu Zhou was still cautious. He did not dare to eat it directly. Instead, he picked it and kept it in a jade box and put it in a storage ring.

Chu Zhou collected a total of three types of the same natural and earthly treasures, all of which were different and had their own characteristics.

Obviously, only an environment full of inspiration can give birth to truly good babies!

In addition, Chu Zhou also began to observe the plants and trees. With the help of Ling Zhifu's knowledge, he discovered that compared to the poverty of the outside world, there were really many good things here.

Just talking about the most common and precious ginseng in the outside world, he found dozens of ginseng, many of which were used as medicine for more than a hundred years.

Even, with his eyesight, he found some traces of movement, which showed the existence of the Scrophulariaceae that could move freely.

There is no doubt that this is a treasure trove for alchemists. If an old Taoist priest came here, he would probably go crazy with joy.

Chu Zhou was a little crazy at first. He dug a lot, but after seeing more, he got used to it.

In this way, day after day, walking after walking, he led the old Confucian scholar forward. When he was hungry, he ate animal meat to satisfy his hunger, and when he was thirsty, he drank rootless water to quench his thirst.

And every two days, he would fly into the sky, condescendingly determine the direction.

The so-called "running to death at Wangshan Mountain" is really not too accurate. The palace complex looks very eye-catching, but it is really far away from the road.

Finally, after spending nearly ten sunrises and sunsets, they were finally out of this forest sea of ​​trees.

Chu Zhou clearly felt that the strength of the surrounding spiritual beasts was weakening, and almost no one dared to appear in front of him.

The old Confucian scholar walked a few steps forward, arrived in front of Chu Zhou, and asked, "Are we finally leaving the sea of ​​trees?"

“A day’s journey at most!”

As he said that, he turned around and glanced at the old Confucian scholar, and saw that this elegant scholar had a tired face, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person looked depressed.

The old man does not rely on his muscles and bones for strength, even the land gods. The old Confucian scholar suffered much more than Chu Zhou.

"You said that the palace on the hill is real?"

"What I saw with my eyes cannot be false. However, I have taken a careful look at it these few times I have ascended into the sky. I don't think I saw anyone?

By the way, are there any humans surviving in the secret realm? "

The old Confucian scholar said: "Theoretically, there should be, at least it is recorded in ancient books, and there are also records of these famous palaces.

The ones I can name are Yuehua Palace, Huahai Palace, Red Lotus Palace, and Spring and Autumn Palace. They are almost all palaces of the Supreme Immortal, and each has its own special role! "

"Does the Red Lotus Palace you are talking about have anything to do with the Pure World Red Lotus Society?"

"It's okay to say that there is, but the Red Lotus Heaven in the Jingshi Red Lotus Society transaction actually refers to the Red Lotus Palace.

According to what I heard when chatting with the ancestor of Honglian, the Red Lotus Palace was built on a fairy lake, and all kinds of lotus flowers were planted in the lake.

The younger ones include five-leaf, seven-leaf, and most are nine-leaf, and the top-quality ones include twelve-leaf and thirteen-leaf!

Every summer, the red lotus blooms, the karma fire burns on the fairy lake, the sky and the earth merge, and the water and fire correspond, which is a wonderful scene.

The same is true. On the day when the red lotus blooms, the supreme immortal will hold a Dharma assembly in the Red Lotus Palace and invite a group of ancient immortals to come here to talk about mysteries and Taoism, both ancient and modern. "

"Nine-leaf red lotus?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhou felt inexplicably familiar. The old Confucian scholar seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Yes, as you think, there are only a few inherited in the Jingshi Red Lotus Society, and the same is true, every time. Great masters of martial arts are born in every generation.

In fact, we, the great sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, will more or less have treasures left behind by the ancient immortals, as well as some secrets that are unknown to outsiders. "

Chu Zhou asked again: "So, you land gods are like this too?"

The topic changed a bit abruptly. The old Confucian scholar pursed his lips tightly and said after a long while: "This is our secret!"

"What if I have to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it?"

The old Confucian scholar's face was tangled and ugly. After a long time, he said softly: "I can't tell you the specifics, but I can also tell you that the reason why we people can extend our lives and break through the limits of martial arts masters is also the same as the ancient immortals. The treasure left behind has something to do with it.

However, this kind of breakthrough does not come without a price. In fact, the price is very heavy! "

Chu Zhou opened his mouth to ask again, but the old Confucian scholar quickly interrupted: "I won't say any more, even if you kill me directly, I won't say another word.

Director Chu, I have lived long enough. Although I am afraid of death, you have to believe that I have my own persistence! "

Chu Zhou smiled and didn't care: "Okay, let's get down to business. Do you know what kind of palace is on this hill?"

"I don't know. There aren't many records in ancient books, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or false. However, I think it shouldn't be difficult to determine, as long as we get closer."

"Then what are you waiting for? Keep on going!"

——

That's what they said, but the two of them actually stopped walking not long ago, because the sky was already dark, and because the old Confucian scholar's physical strength could not keep up.

They built another bonfire, took some stored animal meat, and began to barbecue.

In fact, the storage magic weapon has no function of preservation, but Chu Zhou has a magic weapon that cannot be used. It is troublesome to use, the speed is slow, and it is not good for fighting, but the wisdom of heaven and earth is not completely impossible to mobilize.

He used a freezing technique to seal the animal meat. It could be stored for a long time and could be thawed when eating.

After another delicious meal, they rested early and stayed silent all night until dawn. They had a hasty breakfast and started on the road again.

We have reached the edge of the forest sea here. The trees are much sparse and there are not so many vines clinging to them. Their journey seems to be very smooth.

Until the afternoon, when the surrounding trees became more and more scattered, Chu Zhou took out the walnut boat again, wanting to climb up and take a closer look.

This time, the old Confucian scholar also came up, and the flying boat climbed up little by little, until after several hundred meters, the distance could be seen more clearly.

Looking at it now, the hill is just a hill. It is clearly a peak. There are palaces stretching on it, which are dozens or hundreds of miles away.

Among them, there are more jagged rocks and misty clouds, which are more majestic and show the spirit of an immortal.

Of course, this is nothing. What is even more impressive is that there seems to be a continuous curtain of water hanging down from the sky, tightly covering the entire palace.

It was clearly a mountain-protecting formation, and it was a mountain-protecting formation that had disappeared for unknown reasons.

And above the water curtain, there are three big characters that are really radiating light. At a glance, the simplicity accumulated by the years comes to your face!

"What's that?"

Chu Zhou asked unconsciously, but he turned his head slightly and saw that the old Confucian scholar had an excited face and his whole body was trembling.

"Old guy, are you okay? If you want to die, why don't you die on my flying boat?"

"That, that, that is..."

"What?"

"Spring and Autumn Palace! That's the Spring and Autumn Palace!"

The old Confucian scholar could no longer maintain his rationality and said loudly: "Spring and Autumn are like the years. Time passes by like a world apart. Even the supreme immortal has to sigh!

Therefore, he built the Spring and Autumn Palace, where he planted countless exotic flowers and herbs for the purpose of refining medicine. "

"Here, this is the medicine garden and the alchemy room of the Supreme Immortal!"

"There must be a life-extending elixir here. As long as I take one, my purpose of this trip will be achieved!"

"I see!"

Chu Zhou suddenly realized that it was just a coincidence, but at this moment, his ears twitched slightly and he lowered his head to look down again.

Being so high up, he already has a clear vision, and with his eyesight, he can see even more clearly.

Then, he saw a child walking through the woods. He was extremely fast and as agile as a monkey, constantly dodging tree branches and running wildly into the depths of the forest.

But his speed is still not enough, far from enough!

Behind him were several people, all of whom were grown men, armed with various weapons.

Some of them are agile and can keep running around among the trees; others are strong and powerful and can run rampant without stopping.

As they ran, they made all kinds of noises, and kept shouting "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo could  so  that  the  children  in  front  of  them  could  not  stop  at  the  moment!

The old Confucian scholar finally discovered the movement below, and he said in surprise: "Human? It's a human! There really is a human race living in this secret realm!"

Chu Zhou also smiled. After entering the secret realm for so long, this smile made him the happiest: "It's good that someone is alive. As long as someone is alive, we can find out more information."

"What do you want to do?"

"It's outrageous for a group of big men to chase and kill a child. Of course we have to take care of it!"

Chu Zhou stretched out his hand and said, "Go down and have a look at the situation!"

"By the way, old Confucian scholar, do you understand the ancient language? If you can't communicate, it will be troublesome!"
