The Xuanyuan Dynasty had one capital, three states, nine states, and twenty-seven prefectures, with a vast territory and beautiful mountains and rivers.
For the three tasks Chen Zong accepted, he chose the optimal route and completed them one by one.
The first task is to pick the holy medicine Hanming Essence, which is used to make elixirs.
The Essence of Hanming is located in Hanming Mountain, and usually grows in caves. How to find it depends on the individual.
Hanming Mountain is a mountain in Mingyuan Dao. Chen Zong can directly reach Mingyuan City in Mingyuan Dao through the Void Gate of Void Temple, which can save a lot of time.
Leave Mingyuan City and go straight to Hanming Mountain.
Hanming Mountain is a huge mountain range that stretches for more than a million miles. As soon as you step into the boundaries of Hanming Mountain, you can immediately feel the temperature drop. The deeper you go, the deeper the chill. Ordinary people simply cannot do this.
If you survive in this environment, you will be frozen to death in just a few breaths.
But this kind of chill is nothing to Chen Zong.
While marching deep into the mountain, Chen Zong understood the fusion of the 40% and a half step sword intent and the 40% and a half step fire intent.
Once the fusion is successful, its own strength will break through the limit again and become even more powerful.
"Now, without borrowing the power of the Shura clone, I may be able to fight against or even kill ordinary first-level Saint Realm early stagers." An idea filled Chen Zong's mind.
As for whether this is the case, I am not sure. After all, my strength has indeed improved a lot, but it is not a lot.
According to the prompts on the mission, Chen Zong quickly started searching.
There are many caves in Hanming Mountain, which are called Hanming Cave. Almost every Hanming Cave will produce Hanming Essence.
It’s just that over the years, many Han Ming Essences in Han Ming Cave have been taken away by people. Although they can regenerate, it takes time. It often takes a hundred years to produce one Han Ming Essence. Over time, Han Ming Essence
The marrow is getting less and less and becoming more and more precious.
The earliest Han Ming Essence could be obtained almost everywhere, and its value was not high at all.
As for finding the true essence of Han Ming now, the difficulty has increased more than a thousand times, and its value has increased not only ten thousand times, but tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand times.
Even so, there are still many cultivators who will enter Hanming Mountain, just to find the essence of Hanming and sell it, so that they can get a lot of wealth for their own cultivation.
Chen Zong walked out of a cave. It was an abandoned cave. However, Chen Zong also went in to try his luck to see if it was the right time for Han Ming's Essence to regenerate, but unfortunately he didn't.
Chen Zong was not discouraged. This was just the first cave. There were many more caves in Hanming Mountain.
Keep looking.
One!
Two seats!
Three seats!
Chen Zong searched one after another, but failed to find the true essence of Han Ming.
However, this mission is an intermediate Xuan-level mission. It rewards 600 Xuan Yuan meritorious deeds and 100 Earth Yuan Pills. It is very valuable, so it is normal that it is difficult to find.
Chen Zong searched patiently and searched more than a dozen caves, but still could not find the true essence of Han Ming.
When Chen Zong walked out of a cave again, he met three cultivators.
These three practitioners are two men and one woman, one is middle-aged, one is young, and the woman also looks like a young man.
When he saw Chen Zong, the young man's eyes were wary, while the young woman stared at him, as if she wanted to see through Chen Zong. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and then he restrained himself and revealed a smile.
"Friend, it seems that you are also here to find the true essence of Han Ming." The middle-aged man greeted with a smile.
Chen Zong nodded.
"I see that this is your first time, my friend, to look for the essence of Han Ming." The middle-aged man said again, which made Chen Zong a little surprised. How could you tell?
As if he could see the surprise in Chen Zong's heart, the middle-aged man smiled again and said: "My name is Yuan Huan. I am a marrow seeker. I have rich experience in searching for the true essence of Han Ming. I can see such a cave at a glance.
Determine whether Han Ming Essence has been produced."
Yuan Huan pointed to the cave not far away and said.
His words are not false. He has indeed been in Hanming Mountain all year round, looking for the essence of Hanming to sell. Therefore, he has accumulated rich experience over the years. Although he cannot say that it is 100% correct, he can still be seven or eight
The accuracy rate of success.
"If you are willing to pay some price, I can take you to find the true essence of Han Ming." Yuan Huan stated his purpose.
Chen Zong took a deep look at Yuan Huan and then smiled slightly: "What price?"
With extremely keen perception, Chen Zong could sense that this person was not as kind as he appeared, or at least, his purpose was not so pure.
However, the other party does have experience in finding the true essence of Han Ming, which will be helpful to him.
As for if the other party has any bad intentions, Chen Zong is not afraid. After all, the cultivation of these three people is only at the semi-saint level.
At the semi-saint level, Chen Zong has no fear. No matter what happens, he still has the Shura clone available. The Shura clone is much stronger now than before.
Strength is confidence and the source of self-confidence.
If you have strength, you should be fearless. Of course, fearlessness is not only related to strength, but also to character. Some people lack character. No matter how powerful they are, they are not confident enough and are timid in doing things.
Chen Zong doesn't know how.
"Not many, ten Earth Yuan Pills." Yuan Huan said with a smile: "If you find Han Ming's true essence under my guidance, you will have to pay me another hundred Earth Yuan Pills."
Yuan Huan's asking price is not small. Of course, compared with the value of Han Ming Essence, it is not too much.
"Okay." Chen Zong directly took out ten Diyuan Pills and gave them to the other party. This was a deal.
Yuan Huan took the ten Earth Yuan Pills, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, which was then restrained and undetectable.
"Follow me." Yuan called, but as for the two young men, a man and a woman, he did not make any introduction, and the two people did not speak, as if they were mute.
If the other party doesn't speak, Chen Zong will certainly not pay attention.
It has to be said that Yuan Huan is really very experienced. After several observations of some abandoned caves, he was able to draw conclusions as to whether they contained the essence of Han Ming, which saved Chen Zong a lot of time.
Immediately, Yuan Huan stopped in front of a cave and observed carefully. Immediately, his face became slightly solemn, and a touch of joy flashed in his eyes.
"There is a high probability that there is Han Ming's true essence in this." Yuan Huan said in a low voice, secretly a little excited.
For people like them who are looking for marrow, it is actually not that easy to find the true marrow of Han Ming. Of course they will be very excited if they can find a copy.
As for why they didn't sell it themselves, there are other reasons, such as not having enough strength to keep the Han Ming Essence.
Chen Zong's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that there was Hanming Essence, but he was not in a hurry to rush in.
"Let's go." Yuan Huan said immediately, taking the lead to step out and step into the cave. Chen Zong also entered it, and then the young man stepped out and walked into it. The moment he walked in, he turned back
He glanced at the young woman and indicated with her eyes.
The young woman nodded imperceptibly, and soon after walking into the cave, she did not go deep immediately, but quickly arranged to seal the entrance of the cave, forming a barrier of light that rippled like water waves.
With this layer of barrier, you will be blocked whether you are entering or exiting.
After finishing the arrangement, the young woman immediately walked into the cave.
As the marrow seeker Yuan Huan continued to go deeper, Chen Zong could feel that the terrain continued to go downwards and the temperature in the air became lower and lower. Many ice slag could be seen on the walls and roof of the cave, giving off an astonishing chill.
Practitioners at the Foundation Establishment Realm would find it difficult to move in such a place.
However, Chen Zong still didn't feel any discomfort. Even if the temperature doubled, it would not affect Chen Zong at all.
"We're almost there." Yuan Huan whispered, unable to suppress the excitement in his tone.
When they were more than a thousand meters deep, Yuan Huan stopped, and Chen Zong also stopped and stared ahead. There was a small pit, and inside the pit was a pool of black liquid, which was very thick.
Gives off an astonishing chill.
The essence of Han Ming!
Chen Zong's eyes suddenly lit up, he took a step forward, and appeared in front of the Han Ming Essence like a wind. He directly took out the jade bottle and sucked it in, immediately absorbing the Han Ming Essence into the jade bottle.
In this way, as long as you bring this Han Ming Essence back to Xuanyuan Palace and hand it over, you can get 600 Xuanyuan Merits and 100 Earth Yuan Pills.
It doesn't matter to Chen Zong whether he has the one hundred Earth Yuan Pills, he can have them or not, but the merits of the six hundred Xuanyuan Pills are what Chen Zong really needs.
Immediately, Chen Zong took out one hundred Earth Yuan Pills and handed them to Yuan Huan, which was the price agreed upon before.
Take yourself to find the essence of Hanming. After obtaining the essence of Hanming, you will have to pay another price of one hundred Earth Yuan Dan.
Yuan Huan took the hundred Earth Yuan Pills and put them away immediately. A strange smile appeared on his face, and he quickly backed away. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the light suddenly surged, criss-crossed, spread in all directions, and blocked it directly.
The speed was extremely fast, even if Chen Zong was vigilant, he was still a little slower and was enveloped in it, like a cage.
"What does this mean?" Chen Zong didn't panic at all, but asked lightly.
"This is the formation disk. The formation inspired by the formation disk is called Dragon Imprisonment Formation. As the name suggests, even a real dragon will be imprisoned." Yuan Huan changed his previous kind look, with a cold look on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became
sharp.
At the same time, the young man and woman appeared next to Yuan Huan at the same time, staring coldly at Chen Zong in the Prison Dragon Formation, and kept looking at him, with a sneer on his face.
"Hand it over." Yuan Huan's voice was low and erratic, with a bit of greed: "Hand over that bit of Han Ming essence, hand over all your wealth, and I will spare your life, otherwise..."
Needless to say, Chen Zong also knew what it meant, and it was nothing more than taking his own life.
"The essence of Han Ming is here with me, as you can see, and there are many Earth Yuan Pills in my Najie." Chen Zong said with a smile on his face, through the Dragon Prison Formation.
The light stared at Yuan Huan: "If you want it, come and get it yourself."
Yuan Huan was very vigilant. He could vaguely tell that Chen Zong was at the semi-saint level, not the holy realm, so he dared to attack like this. However, he didn't know how strong the opponent was, so he couldn't be too vigilant.
"Boy, don't take any chances. Under the Dragon Prison Formation, even if you enter the Saint Realm, you won't be able to escape." The young man spoke for the first time, his voice as sharp as a knife.
