"How is that possible?" Before Cao Wushang could speak, Cao Rong was shocked and said, "Hufa Yuan, with your strength, you may not be able to capture him?"
"Shut up, haven't you defeated that kid who only has the Nine-Star Infinite Realm?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded coldly by Cao Wushang, who was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm useless, please."
Punishment?'
"Punishment? How do you want me to punish you?" Cao Wushang glanced at his unfulfilled son expressionlessly, snorted coldly, and continued:
"You have to know that Qin Zong of the Tianjian Sect, Long Xiao of the Lingxu Valley, and Zhao Zichuan of the Five Poison Sect who are the same age as you have all broken through to the Lingtian realm. I will give you one year. If you haven't broken through yet,
In the Spiritual Heaven Realm, I will throw you into the Blood-devouring Cave."
After hearing the previous sentence, Cao Rong's expression was normal, but when he heard the three words "Blood-devouring Cave", his whole body shivered, and his face turned pale and he said: "Please don't worry, father, the child will definitely be born within a year."
Breaking through the spiritual heaven realm within."
"Yes." Cao Wushang nodded indifferently, looked at the old man surnamed Yuan, and asked, 'Hufa Yuan, tell me, what is the ability of that kid to escape from your hands?'
"Yes." The old man surnamed Yuan hurriedly told the story of the fight with Lu Chen and how Lu Chen escaped.
"He actually cultivated Jianao?" Cao Rong said in surprise, but looked at his father Cao Wushang and quickly shut his mouth.
Cao Wushang's indifferent expression also showed a hint of surprise and a hint of interest:
"Interesting, with a mere cultivation of the Nine-Star Wuji Realm, he has cultivated the Sword Art. This kind of swordsmanship talent is probably extremely rare in the entire Zhongzhou."
"Indeed, before this, my subordinates have only heard of one person, Lu Chen, a disciple of the Tiantian Sword Sect Lingjian Zun."
The old man surnamed Yuan nodded, and suddenly had a thought, and said: "Master, I heard that the Spirit Sword Master was imprisoned by the Tianjian Sect because of his fault, and his disciple Lu Chen was expelled from the sect. What do you think?
Could it be him?"
"Although I have never seen these two people, Tianjian Sect is far away from our demon-challenged land, so it is unlikely that he is this guy. However, no matter what, I still sent people to investigate some of these people to see if anyone has seen them.
Son." Cao Wushang ordered.
"Yes." The old man surnamed Yuan nodded hurriedly and waved away this thought.
After a moment of silence, he continued: "By the way, Master, Fengtian Chamber of Commerce and Jinge Chamber of Commerce have agreed to join forces with us to enter the Tianyuan Mining Area. Do you think we have made preparations in advance?"
"I have already arranged this matter, but you still need to recruit a group of casual cultivators for the sect leader. The sect leader needs them as a pathfinder," Cao Wushang said.
"I will take care of it immediately." The old man surnamed Yuan bowed and said.
Seeing Cao Wushang wave his hand, he hurriedly retreated.
"Father, my son has also gone to retreat to practice." Cao Rong said.
"Go ahead, remember, you are the young sect leader of the Blood Flag Sect, and you will also be the sect leader of the Blood Flag Sect. You will never be able to do it without strength." Cao Wushang waved his hand and said.
"I understand, kid." Cao Rong gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and bowed back. He swore in his heart that he would break through the spiritual realm, find Lu Chen, kill him, and wash away this shame.
"Rong'er, I hope you won't disappoint your father this time." Cao Wushang looked at his son Cao Rong's retreating back and whispered to himself.
As a father, he naturally hopes that his son will be stronger than himself.
…
Outside the Ziji Mountains, a thin young man appeared, it was Lu Chen.
After half a month of traveling, he finally arrived here again.
Looking at the majestic and magnificent Ziji Mountains, Lu Chen could not imagine that there were many dangers in it, and that even a strong person in the life and death realm like his ancestor Lu Jie would perish in a forbidden place like this.
However, in order to find the Sun Essence Stone, Lu Chen could only take the risk.
After a little hesitation, he entered the Ziji Mountains.
The Ziji Mountains are so big that they span millions of miles and can be entered from all directions. Fortunately, Lu Chen has entered it once before and knows that it is a place where the Sun Essence Stone is suspected. It is really easy to get lost.
But even so, Lu Chen was still cautious.
Entering the Ziji Mountains, Lu Chen heard the roars of beasts coming from all directions. It was deafening and he had to use his spiritual power to block out some of the sounds.
Then, he walked through the mountains step by step.
After all, there are too many ferocious beasts here. Even in the periphery, there are also ferocious beasts in the middle and late stages of Xuantian Realm. It would be even worse if you encounter ferocious beasts in Lingtian Realm.
The only good thing is that you can see Ganoderma lucidum almost everywhere.
However, with Lu Chen's current level of cultivation, ordinary elixirs would not have much effect on him, so he only collected elixirs of grade five or above.
Considering that he did not have many elixirs on his body, Lu Chen called Ling'er out.
After Ling'er came out, she looked very happy looking at the majestic mountain peaks, the green deep forests, and the gurgling streams.
Lu Chen had to remind her that this was the Ziji Mountains. The little girl calmed down, blinked her big eyes, and looked cautious. After all, she had been to the Ziji Mountains once and knew how dangerous this place was.
Then, she began to search for the elixir. After her cultivation reached the middle stage of Xuantian Realm, her sense of smell improved a lot, and she could smell the fragrance of the medicine even from dozens of miles away.
Therefore, with the help of the little girl, Lu Chen obtained no less than ten plants, including a sixth-grade elixir.
Of course, Lu Chen also killed many ferocious beasts for this reason.
With his current strength, he can guarantee his own safety as long as he does not encounter ferocious beasts above the Spirit Heaven Realm.
If he hadn't gone to the place where the Sun Essence Stone was suspected, Lu Chen would have really wanted to search for the elixir with Ling'er and make a fortune.
"Ho ho ho."
At this moment, a shrill roar of beasts suddenly came from the other side of the mountain. Lu Chen looked over and saw no less than ten figures, including several spiritual heaven realm beings among them.
They are hunting a ferocious beast called the one-horned silver wolf.
"Hey, he's from the Wuhong Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Chen suddenly saw two familiar people there, one was the white-haired old man, Deacon Wang, and the other was the treasure appraiser, Protector Li.
This made Lu Chen's expression change, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
After that auction, not long after leaving Tianhong City, he was chased by Lingxu Valley Long Xiao and others. If Wuhong Chamber of Commerce did not leak his whereabouts, he would not believe it at all.
Therefore, Lu Chen already had a grudge against Wuhong Chamber of Commerce.
However, now that he has not cultivated enough and needs to look for the Sun Essence Stone, it is better to stay away from them.
"Ling'er, let's go."
He immediately took Ling'er to avoid these people from Wuhong Chamber of Commerce.
"Oh." Ling'er hurriedly followed Lu Chen.
At the same time, Protector Li and Deacon Wang from the Wuhong Chamber of Commerce also discovered Lu Chen and others.
"Wu Shan Protector, there are two people over there." The white-bearded old man, Deacon Wang, said to an old man in purple shirt, "Look, do we need to take action?" As he said this, the old man made gestures with his hands.
Wu Shan, the old man from Yishuan, glanced at Lu Chen and the other two, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, but then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's pack up and go to meet the elders of Wuchang."
"Yes." The white-bearded old man nodded hurriedly.
Soon, they packed up the body of the one-horned silver wolf on the ground and left.
Two days later, Lu Chen and Ling'er arrived in front of two towering mountain peaks.
These two peaks are thousands of feet high, standing east and west, glowing with large flames, and waves of scorching heat sweeping out.
And among the two peaks, there is still a striped network flashing. Some are complete, shaped like a long snake, spanning the mountains; some are incomplete, shaped like the mouth of a ferocious beast; some are shaped like a giant python circling.
in mid-air.
These are naturally those prohibitions.
Seeing so many restrictions, Lu Chen still felt a numb scalp even though he had initially entered the threshold of restricted practice.
However, in order to find the Sun Stone, he still had to take a risk.
To be on the safe side, Lu Chen said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, you go back to the spirit beast bag first."
"Sir, you have to be careful." Ling'er said sweetly, and then entered the spirit beast bag.
Lu Chen's heart warmed up after hearing this. He looked at the storage bag at his waist and shook his head, then entered the two mountains.
The jungle in the mountain is dense and can be as tall as a person. If he were outside, Lu Chen could fly high into the sky, but unfortunately in the Ziji Mountains here, flying high into the sky would be the same as courting death.
Therefore, he could only walk step by step between the two mountains.
Suddenly, bursts of hissing sounds reached his ears.
"What?"
Lu Chen's expression changed, and he looked around, but saw nothing. He frowned slightly, and immediately raised his defensive shield uneasily.
However, he also felt that he was a little too worried. After all, the Ziji Mountains were not only extremely dangerous, but also weird.
Besides, he is wearing an intermediate heaven-level treasure armor. Unless he is a being at the spiritual heaven level or above, it is really difficult to hurt him at all. If you want to kill him head-on, it will be even harder.
With the defensive power of the Heavenly Intermediate Treasure Armor, I am afraid that only those who are at the early stage of Tongtian Realm or above can seriously injure him.
This was one of the reasons why Lu Chen dared to enter the Ziji Mountains to search for the Sun Essence Stone before he had broken through to the Xuantian Realm.
But at this time, the hissing sound became louder.
"Hey, what is that?"
Lu Chen moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, he discovered a bright light in a jungle outside the two mountains.
This light is very bright, with a little purple light mixed in it.
"Purple Ganoderma?"
Lu Chen walked in and took a look, and immediately saw clearly the true nature of this ball of light. It was a Ganoderma lucidum.
However, when he saw that these Ganoderma lucidum were growing on a huge, rotten purple tree that weighed several kilograms, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise: "Is this a purple wood Ganoderma lucidum?"
There are many kinds of Ganoderma lucidum, and Purplewood Ganoderma is one of them. The reason for its name is that it grows on an extremely rare purple wood.
This purple wood is extremely hard and is said to be immortal for thousands of years. It is an excellent material for refining weapons.
In addition, after the death of this tree, over time, it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it will be able to produce purple wood Ganoderma lucidum.
This kind of Purple Wood Ganoderma is only a sixth-grade elixir, but it can be used as a preparation for several seventh-grade elixirs and even eighth-grade elixirs.
Therefore, the value of a purple wood Ganoderma lucidum is even 20 million Ganoderma lucidum. If it falls into the hands of an alchemist who needs to refine an eighth-grade elixir, it is impossible to sell it for 30 to 40 million spiritual crystals.
Lu Chen didn't expect to encounter this thing when he arrived, which really surprised him.
However, he was not in a hurry to pick it, because elixirs like these were guarded by vicious beasts.
Don't know where this beast is?
Lu Chen looked around and found no sign of the ferocious beast, which surprised him.
After using his spiritual power to scan around and find no trace of the ferocious beast, Lu Chen walked up cautiously, holding the Long Yuan Sword in his right hand and reaching for the Purple Wood Ganoderma lucidum with his left hand.
But at this moment, a green light suddenly shot up from the purple wood that had been dead for who knows how many years. It was very sharp and made a sneer.
