Chapter 17: Seeking Spirits and Treasures, Finding the Forest by Knowing the Waterfall
While on the road, Wei Zhong's eyes flashed with golden runes, and the surrounding scenery suddenly had different colors.
Some were as dull as gray stones, while others were of various colors, with different depths.
This is exactly the effect of the Soul Seeking Technique.
[Soul Seeking Technique·Mastery (68%)]
In less than two years, Wei Zhong has mastered this technique from entry level to mastery. In a short period of time, he has gone through a level that many cultivators cannot reach in decades.
Soul Seeking Technique, strictly speaking, is a special spell that condenses runes in the eyes. Activating this rune can glimpse the surrounding spiritual energy. The more spiritual energy there is, the darker the color.
Glancing at a touch of light red on the edge of the cliff, it is the fire attribute spiritual fruit commonly seen in these mountains and rivers, the Yanjiang Fruit.
The taste is bitter, but the spiritual energy contained is not bad, and it is quite good for making wine.
Wei Zhong has already picked a large piece and stuffed it into his storage bag.
Therefore, he did not stop when he saw this fruit on the road, and continued to rush towards his destination with the cloud lifted up.
On the way, Wei Zhong had seen several rays of light, all of which seemed to be heading towards the direction of Wuling Cliff.
‘It seems that there are too many cultivators coming in. ’
Wei Zhong sighed and continued to look at the road. He could only hope that he could find the ‘Jade Marrow Ganoderma’ first with his spiritual advantage.
As they got closer to the direction of Wuling Cliff, the rays of light gradually increased. There were seven or eight people, most of whom were disciples of Qingmu Sect wearing blue and white Taoist robes, gathering together.
There were few figures of independent cultivators.
“Could it be that Qingmu Sect knew what treasures there were, and the news left by the last batch of entrants?”
Wei Zhong
turned and used the breath-concealing technique to follow these cultivators of the sect in the forest and the rocks below.
At the same time, halfway through the journey, he found that there were independent cultivators who had the same plan as him.
It was a pity that their tracking was a bit rough, and the movements they revealed were quickly discovered by the disciples above.
“Brother, there are independent cultivators following us.”
The disciple behind said to the leading cultivator of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
The ‘Qingchuan Secret Realm’ not only has the ‘Jade Marrow Ganoderma’, ‘Thousand Knot Flower’ and ‘Golden Ginseng Essence’ needed to refine the foundation-building pill, but also has various spiritual medicines needed to refine other pills.
Therefore, not all the cultivators who entered the secret realm this time came for the foundation-building.
Among this group of inner disciples, there is only one who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the others are at the seventh or sixth level of Qi Refining.
After discussing for a while, the few of them stopped their escape light and said directly to the people behind them:
“The fellows who are following us, can you show up and talk?”
Seeing that their whereabouts were broken, the three of them showed up.
With a lot of spiritual pressure, they were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The hearts of the Qingmu Sect disciples sank slightly, and the leader spoke first:
"You all came for the foundation-building spiritual medicine. Unfortunately, we don't know where the foundation-building spiritual medicine is. Can you please stop following us?"
An old man with sunken eyes among the casual cultivators laughed and said:
"We are not following you, but just on the way."
The other two casual cultivators also echoed.
The eyes of several young Qingmu Sect disciples seemed to be flaming with fire, and they were about to fight. But they were stopped by the leading disciple.
"Don't worry, although we have more people, our realm is not as good as theirs, and we can't beat them."
"Then, senior brother, what about the spiritual medicine?"
"Let's go to the nearby gathering place first. There should be a senior brother of our sect who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Invite him and make plans together."
"For now, this is the only way!"
After communicating through voice transmission, several people quickly came to a conclusion.
Although the contribution will be divided into a part by them, there is nothing they can do.
Several casual cultivators have been following, and they can't collect the key spiritual medicine.
Wei Zhong watched the confrontation between the two men from below. The disciple of Qingmu Sect kept communicating with them, knowing that if he followed them, he would suffer no good consequences.
So he secretly changed his direction and headed towards the suspicious resource point marked on the intelligence map.
Behind him, the inner disciples turned their light and ignored the three casual cultivators behind them.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, are we still following?"
The old man with sunken eyes answered:
"Follow, why not? What if those people are bluffing? Wouldn't we miss a precious spiritual medicine?
And with the cultivation of you and me, who else in this secret realm can take us down?"
Then the three of them turned into light and continued to follow. The difference was that after being exposed this time, the three of them no longer hid at all and followed behind those disciples openly.
······
As if the cultivators he met just now were a coincidence, Wei Zhong did not meet other cultivators on the rest of his journey.
'Wu Ridge Cliff' is a very large area, not a cliff, but a series of mountains.
This area is named because it is located on a high peak and is covered by clouds.
The fog blocks the view of the distance, and even the spiritual consciousness is almost useless here, and it is difficult to extend out of the body.
At this moment, in Wei Zhong's eyes, even the clouds in the air have a bright color, and the concentration of spiritual energy in this area is extremely rich.
No wonder there are spiritual objects like "Jade Marrow" growing here.
It's troublesome to find it, Wei Zhong casually cut off the head of the demon snake sticking out from the cracks in the mountains above his head.
There are even more demon beasts in this area than in other places.
Wei Zhong searched for spiritual objects along the cliff, one mountain after another, and various spiritual lights flashed in his eyes. After searching for a while, he found a lot of ordinary spiritual medicines, but he didn't see the shadow of "Jade Marrow".
‘Alas, it is not a good idea to keep searching like this. If we keep searching like a headless fly, we will probably not get anything until the secret realm time is over.’
‘Jade-marrow Ganoderma’ is an ordinary Ganoderma that grows on rotten spiritual wood. It has undergone a transformation because it absorbs the essence of spiritual wood. The jade in its stem is the essence, so it is named chalcedony.
It should look like white jade in my eyes.
And rotten spiritual wood, I have never seen it after searching for so long. At most, it is a spiritual plant as thick as a hemp stalk.
‘I don’t know how those sect disciples found it.’
Wei Zhong searched everywhere and suddenly heard the sound of water. Following the sound, he actually found a waterfall in the mountains.
The waterfall is not big, only two feet wide, but such a small waterfall carries abundant spiritual energy.
It emits various colors of halos on the rocks below.
‘Such abundant spiritual energy, if you practice here for one day, it may be equivalent to ten days in the outside world. ’
Wei Zhong was a little envious, but he knew that this was not the time to practice.
Approaching the waterfall, two tree trunks grew on both sides, diagonally inserted into the waterfall.
‘Sure enough, it is a spiritual tree. ’
Wei Zhong was delighted and went up along the waterfall. The mist became thicker.
He could barely see the trees in the distance.
When he walked forward, he realized that it was a spiritual forest.
‘I found the right place! ’
Wei Zhong held the magic sword in his right hand tighter, and held the black ball in his left hand at the same time. His whole body was tense, ready to activate the golden body technique at any time.
With extreme caution, Wei Zhong stepped into the forest.
