Not long after, Nangong Yuling only saw a withered old tree with a diameter of five meters exposed among the shattered Gobi desert. She couldn't help but look puzzled and said:
“This desert is extremely desolate, with not a single blade of grass growing. How could an old tree fall here?
Looking at the growth rings of this old tree, I am afraid it has a life span of thousands of years, but it is a pity that a thousand-year-old tree cannot withstand the ruthless devouring of life by this desert."
"Hey, did you come all the way here just to find this old tree?"
Han Jiulin didn't answer when he heard the words. He only leaned down and cut off a palm-sized piece of bark from an old branch. He then put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He suddenly laughed and said:
"I didn't expect that it would be so effortless to find it after breaking through the iron shoes! I almost gave up looking for you, but you appeared in front of me again. What a chance!"
"What are you having fun with?"
When Nangong Yuling saw Han Jiulin suddenly smiling stupidly at the bark of the tree, he couldn't help showing disgust, feeling that his cheap cousin not only had a bad character, but also had some brain problems.
Han Jiulin seemed to see what Nangong Yuling was thinking, and then said lightly: "This is the transcendent spiritual wood."
"Spirit...Spirit wood!"
Although Nangong Yuling didn't know what the otherworldly spiritual wood in Han Jiulin's words specifically meant, since there were two words called spiritual wood, it must be something special.
In the Shenwu Continent, the value of spiritual trees is extremely high, far higher than black gold and spiritual stones, and such a huge spiritual tree can be said to be priceless.
Han Jiulin said: "However, this transcendental spirit wood is not high in the ranking of all spiritual trees. One pound of transcendental spiritual wood can only be exchanged for about thirty taels of profound gold."
"You alchemists are really used to grabbing money from ordinary cultivators like us. You can sell thirty profound gold per kilogram, but that's not enough for you! What's more, such a large transcendental spirit tree costs at least tens of thousands of kilograms.
Heavy!"
Nangong Yuling said angrily.
Han Jiulin said: "You are right, but the value of this extraordinary spiritual tree does not lie in the spiritual wood itself, but in the bark of this spiritual tree."
Nangong Yuling said: "Can this broken bark be more valuable than this spiritual tree?"
Han Jiulin said: "It's not a question of whether it's worth money or not. It's that the bark of this transcendent spirit tree can help us cultivators in the transcendent realm make breakthroughs faster, so the value of its bark cannot be measured by money."
When Nangong Yuling saw such a large extraordinary spiritual tree, she was naturally tempted and whispered to Han Jiulin:
"Cousin, although you were the first to discover this otherworldly tree, but as the saying goes, whoever sees it has a share, shouldn't you also share a share with me?"
Han Jiulin said: "Miss Nangong, although I am indeed related to you by blood, we are not actually familiar with each other. Do you understand?"
Nangong Yuling was so angry that she gritted her teeth after hearing this, but knowing that she couldn't defeat this cheap cousin, she could only say bitterly: "You are really shameless enough to swallow such a huge spiritual tree!"
"Miss Nangong, considering that you and I are related by blood, I will refine a transcendent elixir in the future, which can be discounted by half."
Han Jiulin quickly cut off a few pieces of bark from the transcendental spirit tree, looked at Nangong Yuling, and then said.
"No need!"
Nangong Yuling was so angry at the moment that she didn't even think carefully about how much profound gold this senior alchemist could save her at half the price of the elixir.
When Han Jiulin saw Nangong Yuling's flat refusal, he naturally had no intention of forcing it. Anyway, even if she didn't want the transcendent elixir, there were enough people to buy it at a high price. She had good intentions and didn't accept it, so what could she do?
So Han Jiulin immediately summoned the "True Essence Pill Furnace" and added several precious elixirs to refine the elixir. Although he was already a senior alchemist at this time, this transcendent elixir still belonged to the category of intermediate elixir.
Therefore, the refining process is also extremely smooth.
Not long after, the fragrance of the elixir emerged from Han Jiulin's "True Essence Pill Furnace".
Nangong Yuling's anger gradually subsided at this time, and he smelled the fragrant elixir gas in the "Zhenyuan elixir furnace". He couldn't help but feel moved, so he lowered his face and asked Han Jiulin: "Hey, this transcendent elixir is
How much black gold do you sell for one grain?"
"Don't talk, there's something going on!"
Han Jiulin looked solemnly into the desert to the west and made a gesture to signal Nangong Yuling not to continue speaking.
Nangong Yuling looked in the direction of Han Jiulin, and then sent spiritual energy into his eyes, and then he could clearly see the situation dozens of miles away.
As the yellow sand was flying, dozens of spiritual beasts were seen running forward from the desert. Each of these spiritual beasts had different shapes and looks, but they all looked extremely fierce.
Although they all have different appearances, they all have one strange thing in common, that is, the dark bodies of these spiritual beasts all exude murderous intent, and their backs are covered with special expansion plates, and they also wear battle armor.
Armed with all kinds of powerful weapons.
Nangong Yuling couldn't help being surprised when she saw this situation, and asked Han Jiulin: "How could such a large number of spiritual beasts suddenly appear in this uninhabited desert?"
Han Jiulin shook his head, and then said: "It's just because they came here following the elixir, and I was careless for a moment.
They are not spiritual beasts, but humans!"
"What?"
Nangong Yuling couldn't help but shrink her pupils when she heard this, as if she had thought of something.
Han Jiulin said: "I didn't expect that in this vast desert, your wild beast fighting camp could track you down. It's really powerful."
"We have heard that Han Jiulin is the number one genius in the imperial capital. I originally thought it was just an exaggerated rumor, but now that we have seen you, we have underestimated you.
You are able to detect our traces so keenly even from such a long distance, your first genius is really extraordinary."
A red flame python and tiger spoke to Han Jiulin.
"Who are you exactly?"
Nangong Yuling stared at the red flame python and tiger and asked.
After the six-meter-long red flame python tiger heard this question, its bones vibrated, and its spiritual energy fluctuated greatly. Then it turned into an extremely strong middle-aged man, with blazing eyes.
Staring at Han Jiulin, he said:
"I am the commander of the Wild Beast War and Massacre Camp—Lan Yongzhen."
Everyone in the Canglan Empire knows that the two most powerful troops in the empire are the Shenwu Dragon Knights and the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knights. The Canglan Empire also relied on these two troops to conquer countless civilizations.
But few people know that there is an extremely ferocious third type of military force in the empire - the Wild Beast Battle Battalion!
If the Shenwu Dragon Knight and the Shenwu Xuanxiang Knight are both special troops bred specifically for large-scale wars, then the Wild Beast Battle Battalion is a secret force specially established to target the sects and families within the Canglan Empire.
