Shennong Sequence

Chapter 99: Hundred Years of Change, Blood Tree
You know, there are densely packed shelves on both sides of Master Sun’s door key space of more than 30 square meters!
On each shelf, there are many pots like this one that can shrink spiritual plants.

By comparing them this way, it seems that this master has a lot of treasures and is quite wealthy!

Sun Zhengxuan finished planting the blood cattail tree. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Yun's eyes, which seemed to have entered a money nest!
"Hey, your eyes are moving, stop staring at that pot. Besides, this pot is called a magic pot, and it only has one effect, which is to shrink the spiritual plants so that they can be planted in a small space without being restricted by the place."

"Well, besides the blood-sucking vine, you have four other spiritual plants in the field. I will give you five magic plant pots."

"But remember, this thing is not cheap and is quite fragile, so be careful not to knock it or drop it..."

Zhao Yun immediately nodded to show that he understood.

Not only did he collect 102 Star-blasting Bamboos on the ground, he also collected 5 French planting pots.

It’s a great harvest!
Then Zhao Yun looked curiously at the strange palm-sized tree planted in the blood mud, which was full of dandelion-like flowers.

"Master, what kind of seedling is this? Why is there only one of them in such a big pot?"

Sun Zhengxuan then explained:
"This thing is a mutation of the dandelions that can be seen everywhere in the mountains."

"Dandelion leaves wither in autumn and winter, leaving only a long rhizome buried in the ground, storing nutrients for rooting and sprouting next year."

“But my dandelion has undergone a huge change. Its leaves did not wither in the first winter, but became even crisper.

After maintaining this for several years without withering, it absorbed a decade of climate change power and began to grow a hard trunk on top of the herb!"

"After another hundred years, the blood cattail tree miraculously absorbed the power of a hundred-year climate change, and completely transformed from a herb into a tree."

"This is a metaphor for the special power of climate change between heaven and earth. This time, this dandelion has changed into a strange state. Of course, we can call it the Blood Dandelion Tree now."

"I plan to use it as my ritual spiritual plant during this advancement."

Ritual spiritual plant, as introduced in the book Zhao Yun had read before.

As a farmer-cultivator, every time he has an advancement ceremony, he has a unique spiritual plant that can be bound to the cultivator's level and advance together with him, forming a harmonious whole.

Their first choice is the innate spiritual object that contains the unique power of the laws of heaven and earth.

After binding this kind of law spiritual plant, the farmer cultivator can use the ritual spiritual plant to comprehend the laws contained in the spiritual plant, laying a solid 'law' foundation for the later stages of practice!

In addition, equally important is the life-saving ability of the ritual spiritual plants!

If the life-preserving ability of the spiritual plant is not strong enough, then no matter how high its cultivation level is, there will always be times when it will argue with others, and it may be hit by a club at any time.

This blow from the club made him die immediately...

Nakhon's great strength, financial resources, potential, etc. are all useless!
Therefore, saving your life should be the top priority!
Then, there are other special categories, such as various attribute abilities, some extreme combat power, the creation of special environments, or some spiritual plants that can grow very special fruits.

According to Master Sun, the blood cattail tree in front of Zhao Yun evolved step by step from an ordinary dandelion, and was tempered through the mysterious changes of nature.

Then, the possibility that the blood cattail tree contains the laws of heaven and earth is very small.

This blood cattail tree is related to the climate change of heaven and earth, and its most powerful ability is probably to save lives.

However, since Master Sun wanted to use the blood cattail tree as a ritual spiritual plant, Zhao Yun could not continue to ask about the abilities and characteristics of the blood cattail tree.

At most, it would be just a reminder to let Master Sun make more preparations to see when he can be promoted to the next level. Before that, maybe he could find other better spiritual plants?
Everything is possible, which is the most wonderful thing in the world.

"Master, when are you going to advance to the next level? If you have enough time, you can continue to search for more and better spiritual plants. Who knows, you may find even better ones."

"Indeed, the world is vast and the creation is boundless. No one can predict when a more exotic species will appear again. But this blood cattail tree is now the first choice for the spiritual plants in my house."

Afterwards, Sun Zhengxuan took Zhao Yun out of the key space and asked about Zhao Yun's current progress in cultivation, and whether he had read carefully the books given to him that introduced various knowledge about the world of cultivation.

“Master, you know, I have a good talent. As long as I have the right technique, I can get started quickly!
As for me, I have also gained enlightenment in the art of nourishing the earth's energy, so I have digested more of the power of the Tao above my Dantian, and now I have refined sixty-one magical powers."

"puff!"

When Sun Zhengxuan heard what Zhao Yun said, he turned around and spat out the spiritual tea he had just drunk.

"What the hell are you talking about? It's only been five days since you entered the realm, how come you digested the power of the Dao so quickly?"

"Also, the speed at which you are gaining mana is almost equivalent to the speed at which a serious entry-level cultivator accumulates mana in half a year."

"Also, do you know how long it takes to cultivate a magical power in the old way?"

How could Zhao Yun know so much?

"Master, from beginning to end, I have never met a person who practices the old way, how can I know so much?
Besides, I, your disciple, am gifted and my training speed is fast. Wouldn't it be a great honor for you? I remember that when you were eating and drinking with me in the No. 2 fat pig prison, you were very happy for others to say good things about me, your disciple, right? "

Indeed, if you have a talented apprentice, you will have a bright face wherever you go.

However, it would not be nice to be told directly by the disciple, and it might even be a little embarrassing! ?
Sun Zhengxuan felt that Zhao Yun was a little too proud.

"Look at how proud you are. An old-fashioned monk follows the rules and regulations. If you don't rely on any external forces, it would take a year of hard work to cultivate a magical power."

"Of course, eating natural treasures, meditating on the mysteries of the Tao, sitting on a famous mountain or a large river, in a place with rich spiritual energy, with various spiritual crystals to use and high-level skills to choose from... and other behaviors will also greatly speed up the accumulation of mana."

"But in the most common case, without any resources, one line of magic power is a year of hard work. You are equivalent to the hard work that those people who practiced hard in the old law period could accumulate for sixty-one years!"

"However, it takes a year for people to accumulate one ray of magic power. Slowness has its advantages: you can use it as you wish, gather and disperse as you wish. One ray of magic power can produce the same effect as your crude use of three or five ray of magic power."

(One mana = 10 mana)
"But the speed of cultivation of the new method is, after all, fast! Not many people are willing to let their descendants learn the old method..."

Zhao Yun loved to listen to his master talk about the world of cultivation.

Not only can you broaden your horizons, but you can also position your progress in practice.

"Master, my mana condensation is not that fast.

After I just entered the rank, I slept in the horse prison for more than a day; I also had two days to go home; and when I became the commander of the military farm, I also needed to spend time practicing the 'earth energy nourishment' technique..."

Sun Zhengxuan rolled his eyes. Zhao Yun's speed in digesting the power of Taoism was the fastest he had ever seen in his life!

The only time I had seen such a person in the Divine Capital Academy was when I was there, and no matter how hard I tried, I could never catch up with him. In this border state of Beiliang, I had never seen anyone who cultivated as fast as Zhao Yun.

"Okay, stop talking, kid. The more you talk, the more it hurts my heart. Go, go, go back to sleep. I'm tired of just looking at you..."

Zhao Yun just told the actual situation, but was driven out by the ashamed and angry Master Sun.

It’s so uncomfortable!

Also, when he was in Master Sun's room just now, Zhao Yun had already thought about it. Although he had now entered a higher level, he knew very little about the prices of various extraordinary items.

It's like going to the market and seeing good things, but not knowing the price, and it's easy to get cheated.

So, this is a weakness.

Zhao Yun just forgot to ask his master where he could find some of the prices of these extraordinary items.

However, when he walked out of the stable, Zhao Yun remembered Li Zhiguang, who was in charge of the logistics warehouse.

Logically speaking, the treasure house in the garrison seems to be in that warehouse!
It seems like there should be a preview table of various price exchanges, right?
And if there is one, Zhao Yun will have to go and take a good look at it when he has free time.

Not to mention knowing the prices of various treasures at once, just knowing the prices of the most basic materials roughly gives you a range, so you won't be an ignorant price novice who is out of touch with the real world.

However, it's pitch dark now and it's night time, so it's definitely not a good time to go look for Li Zhiguang in the warehouse.

That's rude!

Then, Zhao Yun returned to his room No. 24, Room B, took out the door key, and cancelled the anchor point of the space gate on the other side of the blood field.

Then he repositioned the anchor point of the space door on the wall of his house, turned the door key, opened the space door, and walked in.

With a surge of mental power, he found the white bone finger.

However, there seemed to be some blood stains on the white bone fingers.

Zhao Yun took another closer look under the candlelight. It turned out that the blood color on the white bones was not stained by the blood mud, but the white bones were absorbing the bloody evil spirit in the blood mud!
Furthermore, a small blood-red area was rendered on the white bone finger.

In addition, when the white bone finger saw Zhao Yun walk into this space, it instantly became nervous and took various precautions against Zhao Yun.

"You little sneak, you are quite spiritual. But it's a pity, I have a feeling that my final calamity of entering the Dao is getting closer and closer to me. I have no choice but to ask you, little weirdo, to help me practice!"

Although this white bone finger is quite peculiar, it can absorb blood evil from the blood field and seems to be very spiritual. It can also blow out black mysterious wind, which looks very magical!

But, after all, it is not completely controlled by the power controlled by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun also didn't want to keep an uncontrollable pet.

So with a thought, the black evil wind surging from his mouth and nose gushed out, filling the entire door key space.

The white finger bones were forced to insert into the blood mud, twisting and drilling into the soil little by little in order to avoid the attack of the black evil wind.

Zhao Yun came here to refine this incomplete little ghost that came from nowhere, so how could he let it run away in this closed space?
Zhao Yun injected his magic power into the Black Evil Wind again, and in an instant the power of the Black Evil Wind was increased by another 30%.

In this way, the mysterious wind released around the white finger bones will be no match for the black evil wind that covers the entire space!
Even the mysterious wind released by the white bone finger was swallowed up bit by bit by Zhao Yun's black evil wind!
This is in line with the sacrificial method of the "wind" in the black evil wind.

"It is the source of consuming different winds, which can help the growth of the Black Evil Wind."

Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to kill the sneaky white bone finger.

Instead, he was constantly forcing the white finger bones to either release the mysterious wind or the Yin Qi...

Squeeze out every last bit of value from those white finger bones!

Continuously, he strengthened his black evil wind.

In addition, during the battle with the white bone finger, there was another thing that Zhao Yun overlooked.

However, Zhao Yun had already remembered it at this moment.

That is, these blood muds not only contain majestic blood and spirituality, but also hide a kind of evil spirit that comes from the death of blood, which can also be called blood evil, or blood evil spirit.

And this blood evil, after being sacrificed and refined, can also enhance the power of the black evil wind.

Similarly, if the blood evil in the half-meter-deep blood field in this key space could be completely absorbed by the black evil wind.

Because there is no interference from the blood evil, the quality of the blood field can be further improved, turning the blood field into a treasure field!
After the white bone finger exploded five times, the black wind it exhaled became even more subtle. It was no longer possible to fight against the majestic black evil wind exhaled by Zhao Yun.

At this moment, the white finger bone was already at the end of its strength!

But the white bone finger was quite smart and it just bent its finger, as if it was submitting to Zhao Yun, or asking for mercy.

But Zhao Yun remained unmoved.

All the black evil winds in this space rushed towards the white finger bones. Their spirituality was tempered and devoured bit by bit. Their bones also gradually turned dark and gray under the blowing of the mighty black evil winds, until the white fluorescence completely dimmed.

Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded into ashes.

However, due to the strange nature of the Black Evil Wind, a small group of sneaky origin left at the original place was swept up and wrapped by the Black Evil Wind.

Zhao Yun also took advantage of the situation to push his magic power and added it to the black evil wind. He refined and absorbed the essence left by the white finger bone bit by bit.

Zhao Yun could also feel that the overall soul-stirring power of the Black Evil Wind had increased by about 10%.

At the same time, when the white finger bone was destroyed, a small blood-red light ball fell on the spot.

Zhao Yun picked up the blood-red ball of light with a yellow cloth.

"Only two origins?"

"It seems that this little sneak is either really small, or it is because I have been letting the Black Evil Wind devour the little sneak's Yin Qi and Xuanfeng, causing the so-called source deficit?"

Zhao Yun looked at the yellow cloth again and found that his accumulated origin points were: [Origin: 45 points].

In addition, although the origin points can increase the progress value at a one-to-one ratio, it is not cost-effective.

It would be most beneficial to accumulate some origin points and recover from the injuries on your body.

Then look at the skill description of Black Evil Wind on the yellow cloth:
[Skill 4: Black Evil Wind (Beginner)]

[Progress: (278/400)]

[Effect: Chilled body, bone-melting and soul-destroying]

"Just by devouring a little sneak, the progress value suddenly increased by 238. It is a big step closer to the next realm of Black Evil Wind's cultivation!"

Afterwards, Zhao Yun took back half of the Black Evil Wind and reduced the output of mana.

I looked at the white finger bones and the last bit of ashes scattered on the bloody soil.

Zhao Yun took a shovel, turned over the bloody soil, and buried the ashes underneath, adding fertilizer for the future growth of this spiritual plant.

Finally, Zhao Yun focused his gaze on the twenty-square-meter and half-meter-high blood-colored soil, and the floating bloody aura.

The bloody evil energy is a negative force, which can have poisonous, distorting, and lethal effects on living things.

Therefore, from the perspective of yin and yang properties, this blood evil energy has a special damaging effect on any plants planted on it, including special spiritual plants such as the blood-sucking vine.

From this perspective, the blood evil in this blood field really has no need to exist.

Zhao Yun spread the half of the Black Evil Wind that he had just left over on the surface of the soil in the blood field.

The bloody evil aura emanating from the blood field was refined bit by bit.

Capture it and then refine it.

Formed by the power that belongs to Heishafeng himself.

Gradually, I don’t know whether this bloody evil energy is of high quality, or whether the origin left by the white bone finger has some strange effects.

When the blood evil merged into the black evil wind, the black evil wind was tainted with a hint of black and red aura.

But in Zhao Yun's perception, this mutation of the Black Evil Wind further intensified its ability to freeze the body, melt the blood, and cause heartbreak and even evolved into a little bit of the magical power to turn blood and fester.

However, maybe because the amount of refined blood evil is small, the power to turn blood into pus is still a little weak.

For ordinary creatures without the protection of supernatural powers, the black evil wind only needs to blow gently to turn them into blood and pus.

Then the blood and pus will be reabsorbed by the Black Evil Wind, which can also enhance the power of the Black Evil Wind.

As for those who possess extraordinary powers and are slightly stronger, for example, after reaching a certain level, they have magic power, blood, etc. to protect their bodies.
