The four rule fragments refined by the Cauldron Spirit are relatively small, only as big as a pearl, but they are very pure, and there is only one rule among them.
Compared with those previously sold in Imperial City, which were large in size but contained complex rules, this was undoubtedly much more specific.
After three months, Zi Chen has penetrated ten miles into the secluded forest. Wherever he passed, all the trees were cut down. However, it won't be long before new trees will take shape here, so it is impossible for outsiders to follow Zi Chen's steps in. impossible.
After clearing an open area, Zi Chen signaled the dragon soul to protect him. The alchemy continued to refine the tree marrow, while Zi Chen refined the four rule fragments.
Among the four parts, two represent strength, one represents agility, and one represents speed.
Zi Chen first refined the power fragments and became familiar with the rules here through the power fragments.
Three days later, the two fragments representing the rules of power were completely refined. Zi Chen spent another day getting familiar with them. When he drew his sword again, Zi Chen was able to transform two sword lights with one sword.
In just three days, Zi Chen's power nearly doubled. Of course, this power is still very different from the outside world.
The subsequent agility and speed only allowed Zi Chen to gain a little bit, and the effect of growth was minimal.
The new batch of spiritual crystals was successfully refined, this time there were thirty-five pieces, and Zi Chen only provided ten copies of the marrow.
In addition to the thirty-five spiritual crystals, Zi Chen also unexpectedly received a small rule fragment, which was about the size of a fingernail, but it was a rare life rule.
After refining the rules of life, you will have a higher understanding of life. During this period, it will also be of great use in restoring your vitality.
This was an unexpected surprise, so Zi Chen began to search for more tree marrow in order to obtain more fragments of the rules of life.
Zi Chen worked very hard, and it seemed that because of the frequent strikes, Zi Chen's understanding of the rules of power was one step closer. He felt that his power would be able to turn into three swords with one sword in a short time.
During this period, trees fell down one after another, and parts of the tree marrow were taken away by Zi Chen. Through the refining of the alchemy cauldron, Zi Chen obtained more and more fragments of the rules of life.
The more tree marrow the Danding can refine at one time, the greater the success rate of successfully condensing the rules of life.
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.
The battle between humans and alien races continues, attracting more and more powerful people, but it has nothing to do with Zi Chen.
Outside the secluded forest, the alien race has been very successful in encircling and suppressing humans, but most of those who died are weak ones. Those who are truly strong continue to make the alien race suffer big losses one after another.
In Zi Chen's sight, a large tree dozens of meters high appeared. Every leaf on its body was shining, which was considered a natural defense.
"Uh-huh."
Zi Chen stepped forward with the sword without hesitation, and slashed out in the blink of an eye.
Large pieces of flying branches were cut off, and the sword light fell on the tree, leaving three deep marks.
After slashing out with the sword, Zi Chen immediately retreated. He knew that the sharp effect had been activated, but the opponent's defense was very high.
The big tree felt pain, let out a scream, and launched a fierce attack towards Zi Chen. The branches extending out one after another were like spiritual snakes. They could quickly detect the direction of Zi Chen, and then attacked towards Zi Chen. Chen launched a fatal blow.
The long knife in Zi Chen's hand accelerated the speed of the dance, and every blow was sharp. One branch after another was cut off, but these branches seemed to be cut endlessly, almost silently.
"puff."
He kept killing like this for who knows how long. When Zi Chen killed until there was no branch around, he stepped forward and cut off the big tree, and 90% of the 10% strength in his body had been consumed.
He successfully dug out a tree crystal from the heart of the tree, but the light of the tree crystal became very dim.
"It's true." Zi Chen sighed. He knew that he had reached the limit of depth. If he went deeper, the rewards and efforts would become a huge inverse ratio.
The quality of this tree crystal is much higher than that of the spirit crystal, and fragments of the rules of life can be condensed from it. Unfortunately, Zi Chen's combat power is limited. Every time, he has to wait until the tree crystal has almost exhausted its life force before killing him. What you get are only high-quality spiritual crystals, and rarely you get the rules of life.
Moreover, Zi Chen needs to spend a lot of time and energy every time he kills a plant, which is really not worth the gain.
So, Zi Chen decided to return. Of course, on the way back, Zi Chen would kill some tree pith and get some life fragments.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since he summoned the alchemy cauldron. Zi Chen's strength has increased a bit, and his understanding of the rules of life has deepened. In addition, the biggest gain is the tens of thousands of spiritual crystals on his body.
While going out, Zi Chen suddenly heard loud shouting and looked around. He saw humans killing trees and collecting sap.
The opponent's strength is already at the mid-seventh level, and his shots are clean and neat, and he kills trees in the most energy-saving way. Even if he is injured in the process, he must try to use the least amount of energy.
Every time he got a piece of sap, the other party would gently pick it up and keep it carefully.
Zi Chen looked at the opponent for a full quarter of an hour, and within that quarter of an hour, Zi Chen saw the opponent make three moves and get three pieces of sap.
He still had less than 10% of his energy, but Zi Chen didn't see him absorb even a drop of tree sap.
Soon, Zi Chen understood why.
The human city fell and they couldn't get the supply of spiritual crystals. They had to find a way on their own. Although there was sap in other places, the amount was much less than in the mysterious forest.
So Youlin is the best place.
Sure enough, Zi Chen found traces of several more humans next, and they all came for the sap.
Zi Chen shook his head and walked towards the outside world. His next direction would be the Desert of Death.
As for the life and death of these people... Zi Chen suddenly felt something in his heart, and felt that since he had the ability, he should do something at this moment.
These people are still alive today. They are undoubtedly real strong men. Their purpose of coming to the battlefield in the extremity is to experience and strengthen themselves, which is different from those scum.
After pondering for a while, an idea emerged from the bottom of Zi Chen's heart.
So, Zi Chen took out three weapons again and walked towards the outside world.
If you want to help others, you must have the ability to help others, otherwise you will die in vain.
Zi Chen released powerful evil energy from his whole body and walked straight towards the outside world.
During this period, not only the trees were alarmed, but also some strong men who carefully collected the sap.
"Uh-huh."
Dozens of trees launched an attack on Zi Chen, and all kinds of branches roared towards him. Zi Chen unsheathed the long knife in his hand, and the light of the three swords scattered in all directions, cutting off those branches and cutting off the nearby trees.
In the blink of an eye, Zi Chen got more than a dozen pieces of tree marrow.
From a distance, some human monks saw this scene, and their pupils couldn't help but shrink. This move seemed fierce, but it consumed a lot of money. In everyone's eyes, Zi Chen was at a loss.
It has been too long since human cities fell, and the alien hearts placed on everyone's bodies have become pure decorations, while every drop of tree marrow has become something like a treasure.
Compared to Zi Chen's recklessness, they were more careful in their attacks because weapons would be damaged and energy would be consumed.
Zi Chen walked forward without any scruples, and directly took out a spiritual crystal and began to absorb it.
When everyone saw the spiritual crystal in Zi Chen's hand, their eyes widened. Of course, some people's eyes fell on Zi Chen's storage bag.
Perhaps, there are more spiritual crystals in the storage bag.
Such a wanton display of wealth caused a fierce murderous intention to reverberate in the forest.
The other humans who were still hunting trees all set their sights on Zi Chen and began to follow Zi Chen from a distance towards the outside of the forest.
Zi Chen seemed not to notice the murderous intentions around him, and walked straight towards the outside world, killing everything that stood in his way.
By the time he reached the outside world, Zi Chen had already consumed five full spirit crystals. Five spirit crystals might not seem like much to everyone in normal times, but at this time, five spirit crystals were enough to make everyone fight for their lives.
In their eyes, a human who consumed five spiritual crystals but received less than four hundred sap would undoubtedly suffer a huge loss. But on the other hand, this human being must have countless spiritual crystals in his body.
Finally, Zi Chen walked out of the forest and walked towards an open area.
At the same time, some more humans walked out of the secluded forest, and the number was no less than ten. Most of them were in the middle stage of the seventh level, and the rest were in the late stage of the seventh level. As for the early stage, there was no one.
After coming out, Zi Chen took out a piece of animal skin, wrote two words on it, then wore it with a spear and hung it there.
From a distance, everyone saw two words on the animal skin.
"trade."
When everyone saw those two words, confusion immediately appeared on their faces, and then they slowly approached.
Although the humans in front of them have the early stage strength of the seventh level, the energy in the opponent's body is at the tenth level, but the energy in their bodies is only the second level at most.
Zi Chen was carrying a dragon thorn on his back and a long knife on his waist. He stood there quietly without any defensive movements.
A group of monks finally came closer. After seeing the things placed on the ground in front of the humans, their pupils couldn't help but shrink again.
The spiritual crystals on display turned out to be spiritual crystals. According to visual inspection, the number was over a hundred.
For a time, the bright spiritual crystal became everything in everyone's eyes. Their breathing gradually became rapid, the rationality in their eyes was about to disappear, and thick greed emerged from their eyes.
"bass."
At this moment, there was a clear sound of unsheathing, and three shining sword lights appeared.
A chill arose in the hearts of everyone, their expressions changed drastically, and they moved straight back.
The sword light almost passed along everyone's forehead. The long-lost feeling of death made their hearts tremble. The reason they were about to lose returned again, and the greed in everyone's eyes turned into deep fear.
Looking at Zi Chen again, in addition to fear, there was also deep confusion in their eyes.
Zi Chen sheathed the sword, with a smile on his face. He glanced at a dozen people. He was very satisfied with the establishment of power just now, and then introduced directly: "Everyone, please introduce yourselves. My name is Zi Chen. I come from Shun. Tianfu, I am a...alchemist."
