This is a lake with a very wide area. At first glance, the waves are sparkling, reflecting the light cast by the two moons in the sky, which makes it look a bit weird.
Moreover, there are no aquatic plants in such a huge lake, and there are no plants even within a thousand meters of the shore.
But in such a lake, there is a lotus root growing in the center of the lake, with only two leaves, swaying.
A stalk sticks out of the water, with a flower bud on it, waiting to bloom.
"What kind of elixir is this? It looks extraordinary."
"Of course it's extraordinary. I've seen it in an ancient book. It's called a nine-orificed lotus root. The lotus root has nine orifices that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It has only two leaves and one flower, which implies the truth that two are born, two begets three, and three begets all things.
When the lotus blooms, it will produce nine lotus seeds, each of which is priceless."
"How can it be so valuable?"
"This...it's not mentioned in the book."
"Depend on......"
Some people were standing on the shore of the lake, discussing quietly.
Some people say that this is a "nine-hole lotus root", which is very precious, and the lotus seeds it produces are even more magical. But what is its use and how valuable it is, but they say they don't know, and they don't know if they really don't know.
Still don't want to say it.
Suddenly, someone else arrived.
"Someone is here again."
"Hey, the person who came this time is not weak. He is actually a sixth-grade golden body master. He seems to be from the Wu family of the ancient family. He is a master of the Wu family, named Wu Qian. Yes, that's him. I
I saw him once from a distance, but I didn't expect him to come too."
"So what, the sixth level is probably useless..."
This time, a sixth-level master came, who was considered an absolute master among the people around this place. He came from the Wu family, an ancient family. He was tall and graceful. Every step he took was like teleporting.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the edge of the lake.
Wu Qian glanced around, then smiled lightly, suddenly kicked off the ground, and rose into the sky, intending to cross the lake and pounce on the nine-hole lotus root.
No one stopped.
The next moment, the lake water parted with a splash, revealing its broad back, like a colubrid swimming in the water.
Suddenly, the back left the water.
A ferocious head poked out of the water. Its head was a dragon's head with its majestic horns. Its body was also covered with jagged scales and shimmering luster.
This is a dragon, which is already 70-80% similar to a real dragon. It opened its mouth, let out a dragon roar, and bit Wu Qian.
"What?"
Wu Qian was shocked. He didn't expect there would be a dragon here. He slapped a palm in the air and used the force to fly back. At the same time, he punched the ferocious dragon's head with his other hand.
boom!
With a loud noise, the dragon was sent flying backwards and fell into the lake with a loud bang, splashing water dozens of meters high.
However, Wu Qian also felt uncomfortable. When the dragon fell into the water, it twitched its tail, sending Wu Qian flying back to the shore, and his whole body sank into the earth and rocks.
Even with the physical defense of the Golden Body Realm, Wu Qian couldn't help but vomit blood.
"Sure enough, even the sixth level is still not enough."
"That's a dragon. A real dragon. It's 70-80% similar to a real dragon. How can the sixth-level realm be able to compete with it?"
"Yes, we should be lucky that this is just a dragon. If it were a real dragon, even if it were a ninth-level dragon, it might not be enough to see."
People whispered.
This lake is very strange. There are no aquatic plants, not even the shore, and there are not many aquatic animals in the lake. It is very different from ordinary lakes.
There are no aquatic plants because, based on the center of the lake, all the spiritual energy of the entire lake, including the thousand-meter range on the shore of the lake, has been sucked away by the nine-hole lotus root.
Without spiritual energy, there would naturally be no plants.
The absence of aquatic animals is due to the existence of the dragon, which has been here for who knows how many years. The animals in the water are either eaten by it or escape.
There have been people who wanted to get close to the Nine-aperture Lotus Root before. Although the Nine-aperture Lotus Root is not mature yet and is just a bud, they can't wait and want to pick it first.
As a result, they encountered a dragon. Three of the five people died, and only two escaped and spread the news about the Nine-Aperture Lotus Root.
After that, more and more people came, and some people tried, but all failed without exception.
This spiritual root of heaven and earth has its own spirituality and will attract terrifying creatures. Most of these elixirs are guarded by terrifying creatures.
What's more, this is an extremely precious nine-hole lotus root, so it's not surprising that it is protected by a dragon.
"puff......"
The master of the Golden Body Realm broke free from the large pit of earth and rocks. The golden color on his body receded and his breath was a little sluggish, but when he glanced at the people, they immediately shut their mouths.
After all, this is a sixth-level master. Although he is no match for the dragon, he is not something they can provoke.
"Hmph." The master of the Golden Body Realm snorted coldly, his eyes still looking fieryly at the swaying nine-hole lotus root.
This is a treasure that is enough to make even sixth- and seventh-level masters fight for it.
...
After a while, someone else arrived.
"Look, those are members of the Liu family. One is a sixth-grade, one is a seventh-grade, and two are fifth-grade. Gee, this lineup is too strong."
"Over there, is that Vice Principal Wu of the Capital Martial Arts Academy?"
"It's true. I heard that Vice Principal Wu had a battle with Liu Kequan, a seventh-level master of the Liu family, and injured Liu Kequan. Is it true?"
"The two did have a fight. It seemed that the Liu family wanted to deal with Ning Chen. Liu Kequan was indeed injured, but Vice Principal Wu didn't seem to get any advantage."
People from the Liu family and Vice Principal Wu arrived almost immediately, which immediately aroused people's attention and discussion.
Vice-Principal Wu narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Kequan from hundreds of meters away. Liu Kequan snorted in displeasure with a cold face.
"He is defeated." Vice Principal Wu smiled.
The two sides did not fight again because they had already fought each other last time. Vice Principal Wu had a slight upper hand, but he could not defeat Liu Kequan, so another fight was of little significance.
In fact, the reason why Vice Principal Wu approached the Liu family and had a fight with Liu Kequan was not to kill Liu Kequan, but to make the Liu family fearful. He was telling the Liu family, if you dare to deal with Ning Chen
, will anger me.
More and more people are coming...
In addition to the masters of the sixth and seventh levels, there are also many fourth and fifth level masters, but not many people pay attention to them.
So much so that no one noticed that a group of uninvited guests had arrived - members of the Samurai God Cult were hiding in the crowd and did not attract attention.
The third fat man's eyes wandered around, looking for Ning Chen, but he couldn't find Ning Chen. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, they have been here for a while.
From other people's mouths, the third fat man heard a lot about Ning Chen, mainly because Ning Chen was very active during this period and could always do things that would make people's jaws drop.
What about the great defeat of Liu Zhan, the genius of the Liu family, what about the fourth-level realm being comparable to the fifth-level realm, what about climbing the thousand and eighty steps after entering the land of inheritance, how about one person killing two fifth-level masters in a row...
.The three fat men were numb after hearing this.
But now the Liu family has a sixth-grade and a seventh-grade.
The Third Fatty couldn't help but worry about Ning Chen. Even if Ning Chen could kill a fifth-level master, he would definitely not be able to defeat a sixth-level or seventh-level master.
What's more, it's not just a Liu family.
The Samurai God Sect is also keeping an eye on Ning Chen. One of the three tasks of the Samurai God Sect entering the secret realm this time is to kill Ning Chen.
Of course, it is not easy to kill Ning Chen by relying on several fifth-level protectors from the Samurai God Sect. But yesterday, San Pang accidentally overheard the ninth divine envoy of the Water Ministry talking to the Water Ministry protector. It seems that the Samurai God Sect also sent higher-level protectors.
People of high rank came to support.
I don't know whether the person coming is the sixth or seventh grade. In short, the third fat man hopes that Ning Chen will not come and that he will not be targeted by these high-level warriors.
