Chapter 251 There is someone in the depths of the peach blossom
In the dark, moonless mountains, the mountains are empty and the valleys are quiet. From time to time, the low roars of wild beasts come from the darkness, making the night seem more mysterious.
A faint bonfire was burning gently in the woods, reflecting the dancing shadows of the trees on both sides, moving left and right, twisting incessantly.
The two figures resting against the tree trunks were none other than Zhuo Mufeng and Hu Lai.
With the help of false sleep, Zhuo Mufeng's consciousness could not wait to enter the third level gate of power and martial arts.
Ever since he obtained the black jade seeds, Zhuo Mufeng would come to the medicine garden to study it carefully whenever he had the chance. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the four-star medicinal materials.
For people at the bottom of the world, they only know that four-star medicinal materials are rare treasures that can only be found in a hundred years. However, what they are and what characteristics they exhibit, few people know because of the lack of information channels.
Even "On Jianghu" published by the Shengwu Alliance did not introduce this in detail.
Although whether you can get four-star medicinal materials depends on luck, for the top forces in the world, they have the most resources and power, so the probability of discovering four-star medicinal materials will be higher.
In order to prevent interference and influence from lower-class people, it is understandable that the news is blocked.
For countless years, the very few information about four-star medicinal materials and even five-star medicinal materials in the world were spread by some unreasonably lucky casual warriors who were lucky enough to obtain them.
Of course, a large part of it is still the fabrication of later generations and cannot be true.
If he hadn't been hanging out with the Sanjiang Alliance, Zhuo Mufeng wouldn't have known the inside story.
After learning about the situation, he made some insinuations, but he actually learned the origin of the black jade seeds from Yu Tianci, who was very concerned about him.
According to Yu Tianci, the black jade seeds should be the young species of the four-star medicinal material "Han Tao Qihuan Ye".
According to legend, the seven-ringed leaf of walnut has seven petals. It is actually a kind of flower, but it got its name because it resembles a blade of grass.
The most special thing about this flower is that it takes 133 years for the seeds to mature, and then the flowering and fruiting time is very short, only five to ten years.
Each petal of the mature seven-ringed walnut leaves has an incredible effect. It is even more exaggerated to say that once swallowed, the person who enjoys it will be brought back to life, and their vitality and blood will not decline from then on, and they may even live forever.
Zhuo Mufengquan listened to it as a myth. There is no immortality in the world, but there is no wind without waves. From this point, it can be seen that the effect of the seven-ringed walnut leaves must be extremely amazing.
Now that its seeds have fallen into his own hands, he paid for them with his own life, and he can verify them in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but feel happy again. He looked at the black jade seed in his hand and wished he could see it sprout and bloom immediately.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't put the black jade seeds into the medicinal soil.
Now his martial pillar value is not far from 100,000 points, and a little impatience will ruin the big plan. Anyway, the maturity of the black jade seeds does not happen overnight. It is better to wait until the martial pillar value exceeds 100,000 points before cultivating it.
After playing with it for a while, Zhuo Mufeng put down the black jade seeds, and his consciousness left the third level gate of power. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark surroundings, and began to practice silently using the Dragon Roar Qi.
Since spending a lot of star-grade medicinal materials to temper his bones and body in Tianfu, Zhuo Mufeng's physical qualifications have improved to a higher level, and the speed of practicing internal skills has also increased, far better than in the past.
It can only be said that the effect of the medicinal soil is too terrifying. It has transformed the two-star medicinal materials to the extreme, and is only a hair away from the three-star level.
Even the eldest lady of the Sanjiang Alliance like Wu Yuanyuan cannot temper her whole body with so many extreme two-star medicinal materials like Zhuo Mufeng.
It can be said that at this moment, Zhuo Mufeng's physical qualifications have already entered the ranks of quasi-geniuses. With his unremitting hard training, the Dragon Yin Qi has shown signs of breakthrough.
He wanted to improve at once, so that he could reach the Star Bridge Realm faster and become a first-class master in the world.
Looking at the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there are only a handful of first-rate masters who are seventeen years old. In many places, a master of this level is enough to be treated like a guest of honor and respected by everyone.
Among the forty-three heroes on the Elite List, only thirty have reached the Star Bridge Realm, and among them, only seventeen are under twenty years old.
Zhuo Mufeng is very much looking forward to becoming the eighteenth person. Then he will see what Wu Yuanyuan's expression is.
…
Early in the morning, Meng Jiuxiao and others had enough rest. After washing up, they checked out of the inn in Meijian Town and prepared to set off back to Sanjiang League.
But when gathering people, they discovered that Zhuo Mufeng and Hu Lai were missing.
"Lao Meng, we have checked everything, Hua Zhi and the two are missing."
He Dingbang, the "Golden Feather Flying Peng" who is the best in Qinggong, walked through the entire Meijian Town and still couldn't find Zhuo Mufeng and he couldn't help but look suspicious.
Others were also surprised and even a little worried.
Last night, Zhuo Mufeng said he wanted to go out for a walk, but no one cared about it. Unexpectedly, everyone was gone during this walk. Could something have happened?
Because of someone's infatuation with the eldest lady, everyone subconsciously ignored the possibility of him leaving without saying goodbye.
Meng Jiuxiao said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have agreed to let Brother Hua join the Sanjiang Alliance. This matter cannot be taken lightly. Let's go look for it separately."
Meng Jiuxiao quite admired Zhuo Mufeng, mainly because he was loyal enough. A few days ago, he had recited all the martial arts he had received from the six sects and handed them over to the Sanjiang Alliance.
Based on this alone, Meng Jiuxiao could not ignore Zhuo Mufeng's safety.
Who knows, for Zhuo Mufeng, two-star martial arts and one-star martial arts have no effect on him except for exchanging martial pillar values, so he is happy to use them as favors to maintain Hua Zhi's personality.
When everyone was about to search separately, Wu Yuanyuan took the lead and said, "There's no need to search anymore."
After a pause, Yu Tianci's eyes flickered and he looked at Wu Yuanyuan: "Miss, what do you mean?"
Wu Yuanyuan snorted secretly, thinking to herself that that bastard who hides his head and shows his tail will certainly not be able to go back with you, otherwise his identity will be revealed.
But she didn't want to blow things up, otherwise it wouldn't be good for her, so she had to endure her unwillingness and lied on behalf of Zhuo Mufeng: "He came to me last night and said that after much thought, he decided to give up joining the Sanjiang Alliance."
Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.
After the initial shock, Yu Tianci took a deep look at Wu Yuanyuan, not knowing what he meant: "This is Brother Hua's wish, how could he give up suddenly? Everything happens for a reason."
Hearing something in his words and staring at herself, as if he was implying that she forced Zhuo Mufeng to leave, Wu Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Uncle Yu, what do you mean by this?"
Yu Tianci said calmly: "It's not interesting. He is just a wandering cultivator. He is a low-level person who only deserves to wallow in the rain at night. It's his fault. He has no self-awareness."
After saying that, she walked away without giving Wu Yuanyuan a chance to refute.
Meng Jiuxiao and others looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at the eldest lady's face which was red with anger, but they all understood and did not speak.
Luo Ji chuckled and said, "What's going on with Lao Yu? He has such a good relationship with the boy named Hua. Recently, he often refutes the eldest lady's face for him."
Yin Xiangfeng sighed: "Old Yu didn't do it for Huazhi, he just thought of himself. He has stories, but it's a pity that I don't have wine."
Snapped!
Meng Jiuxiao slapped Yin Xiangfeng on the head. Seeing that the eldest lady's expression was extremely ugly, she shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you get on your way."
Now that the eldest lady has said that Zhuo Mufeng is resigning, even if Meng Jiuxiao feels a little regretful, what can she say? It is better not to question the eldest lady in person.
What's more, from Meng Jiuxiao's point of view, leaving is not a bad thing for Hua Zhi, otherwise it would be very sad to see the eldest lady get married one day.
Only Barong and Fang Xiaodie had twitching expressions on their faces, and they were really aggrieved for Miss Wu. It was obviously that person's fault, but in the end it was Miss Wu who took the blame, so where could they explain it.
"What are you two doing standing still? Do you want me to hire a sedan to carry you?"
She was full of evil fire and had no way to vent it. When she saw Barong and Fang Xiaodie still winking at each other, Miss Wu became angry on the spot and shouted viciously.
"Miss, we will leave immediately."
The angry woman did not dare to offend her, so Balong and Fang Xiaodie followed suit and quickly clasped their fists respectfully and followed the footsteps of Meng Jiuxiao and others.
"Zhuo, I must make you look good!"
Wu Yuanyuan, who was alone, gritted her teeth, cut off a stone pillar on the roadside in the town with a sword, and then walked away angrily.
At the foot of a few steps on the outside of the stone railing, several Baotou women were washing clothes by the river. When they saw this, they all scolded her. This girl was so disgusted that she was more fierce than a tigress. What man would dare to marry her home?
…
It took more than half a month to go from Meijian Town to Gusu City at a fast pace. Zhuo Mufeng was certainly not in a hurry and walked slowly along the way, admiring the local customs and customs along the way.
It's a pity that Hu Lai didn't change his stubbornness. After digesting the two-star medicinal materials and breaking through to the fifth level of Vajra, he completely put aside martial arts. Every time he settled in a town, he would crawl into the hooks of a brothel.
After Zhuo Mufeng tried to persuade him several times to no avail, he didn't bother to pay attention.
On this day, the two of them settled in a small town called Taohua Town.
This town is full of peach blossoms. As the breeze blows, the pink swaying and scattered on the bluestone road, the light fragrance is fragrant. There are dots of lantern fire on both sides of the road, and the bright moon is reflected in the water mirror under the stone arch bridge.
, sparkling.
Martial arts training emphasizes the combination of work and rest. Zhuo Mufeng was fascinated by the night view of Taohua Town. After dinner, he couldn't help but wander around and quietly feel the tranquility.
While walking, at some point, he reached the end of the town, turned the corner of the alley, and saw a dense peach blossom forest in front of him. This kind of scenery is not uncommon in Peach Blossom Town.
What is really strange is that there is a winding path in the middle of the peach blossom forest. You can faintly see the mottled lights through the peach blossoms, and the smoke is curling up, as if someone is boiling water and cooking.
This should be a peaceful scene, but there are faint and mysterious fluctuations coming from it. If Zhuo Mufeng hadn't improved his internal skills recently and had a clear mind when he walked in, it would have been impossible to detect it.
