Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 132 Passing the Assessment and Gaining a Lot

Wan Xu was still desperately using his sword energy in the sea buckthorn bushes.

Try your best to cut off the vines that are entangled with Li Zhenqian.

However, his protective true energy had been entangled by more sea buckthorn vines around him, almost crushing it.

"If this continues, I'm afraid Wanxun and Li Zhenqian will also end up like this..."

"Facing this seabuckthorn monster that has cultivated for five thousand years... there is not much difference between the middle stage of foundation building and the complete stage..."

Lin Chen frowned.

An ordinary sea buckthorn monster is just a small plant and poses almost no threat.

But right now, this large area of ​​seabuckthorn monsters is probably all one...

If you want to kill this seabuckthorn monster, you must destroy its roots...

But by that time, I'm afraid Li Zhenqian would have already turned into nutrients for the sea buckthorn monster.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer held back.

Taking out the demon-slaying sword, Lin Chen took a step forward several dozen feet and stood side by side with Wan Xun.

"Friend Wan, don't panic... let me do it!"

After saying that, Lin Chen grabbed Wanxun with one hand and threw him dozens of feet away, out of the range of the sea buckthorn monster.

"Friend Xu!" Wan Xun steadied himself and looked at Lin Chen who was swallowed by the sea buckthorn vines, feeling panic in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm sure!"

Lin Chen shouted.

Then the protective true energy suddenly burst out, shaking away the surrounding sea buckthorn vines.

Afterwards, he held the demon-slaying sword in his hand, attached his body's protective true energy to the sword, and strode forward.

The endless sea buckthorn vines almost wrapped Li Zhenqian into a mummy.

But Lin Chen was not at all panicked, and he raised his sword and slashed.

The five thousand year old sea buckthorn vines are invulnerable to damage by metal or stone, and are impervious to water or fire.

Not to mention ordinary weapons, even the best magic weapons would be difficult to cut.

But under the blade of the Demon-Slaying Sword, it was easily cut like tofu.

"Good knife!"

Lin Chen found it more and more convenient to use and was delighted.

At this moment, he was already under the blessing of the power of Zhulong, and his physical strength was rapidly consumed.

But physical fitness has almost doubled.

Lin Chen rushed directly in front of Li Zhenqian, and then the blade swung.

Miso miso miso!
There was a flash of knife light, and the dense sea buckthorn vines were all cut off and scattered all over the ground.

The unconscious Li Zhenqian could be exposed at any time.

Seeing more and more vines coming up, trying to swallow Li Zhenqian again.

Lin Chen sneered and said, "Can a mere demon plant turn the world upside down?"

He grabbed Li Zhenqian and threw him dozens of feet away.

"Friend Wan, catch it!" Lin Chen shouted.

In the distance, Wanxun hurried forward, caught Li Zhenqian with both hands, and slowly put him on the ground.

He placed his hand under Li Zhen's nose and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still breathing but had been severely poisoned.

Looking up at Lin Chen in the seabuckthorn monster bush, Wan Xun's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Brother Xu!"

I saw a vast number of sea buckthorn vines, rising several feet high like waves.

The area within a radius of several dozen feet seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​brown-green vines.

In the waves, Lin Chen was quickly swallowed up and his figure disappeared.

Wanxun was anxious and hurried forward to help.

But the group of sea buckthorn monsters quickly retracted into the desert soil like tentacles.

In just a few breaths, the sea buckthorn monsters that originally looked like a green ocean were hidden under the desert, leaving only a bare expanse of mud and sand.

Lin Chen also disappeared along with the Seabuckthorn Demon...

"Brother Xu!"

Wanxun looked at the empty space in front of him and found it hard to believe.

"Brother Xu, you actually saved Junior Brother Li... but we just met by chance..."

Wan Xun called out a few more times, but there was still no response from Lin Chen, and he gradually became discouraged.

"Even a strong man like Brother Xu would have little chance of surviving against such a powerful monster..."

Wanxun's eyes were filled with sadness, but he was afraid that the sea buckthorn monster would make a comeback, so he quickly fled the oasis with Li Zhenqian in his arms.

He knew that with his strength, he was no match for the sea buckthorn monster.

After escaping from the oasis, Wanxun hid outside the oasis and watched for several hours.

After not seeing Lin Chen come out for a long time, his eyes became more desperate, but he had no choice but to leave and head towards the north of the desert.

……

At the same time, deep underground in the oasis.

A brown light flashed around Lin Chen, making it seem as if he were walking on flat ground even on the sandy and muddy ground.

Looking around, you can see dense and intertwined sea buckthorn vines.

Like tentacles, they were wriggling crazily underground...

"Oh, if we were on the ground, there would be nothing we could do to you..."

"But in this underground place, you brought yourself here!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly, using the earth escape technique to walk quickly underground.

The spiritual consciousness spread out like a tide, and the roots and vines of the sea buckthorn monster were sensed clearly.

After a while...

"Finally found...the root of the sea buckthorn monster!"

Lin Chen was delighted and quickly rushed towards the root of the sea buckthorn monster.

This huge sea buckthorn monster has vines that are impossible to kill and grow very fast.

If you want to eradicate it, you have to destroy the roots and severely damage it from the source...

In just three or two steps, Lin Chen approached the rhizome of the sea buckthorn monster.

The sea buckthorn monster seemed to have sensed the threat and frantically drove its vines towards Lin Chen.

But deep underground, there is the resistance of the soil after all, and the vines are far less flexible than on the surface.

Lin Chen held the demon-slaying sword in his hand and slashed it down!
He cut off a piece of root that was as thick as an arm and covered with fluff.

The rhizome of the sea buckthorn monster is equivalent to its brain and heart!
Starting with the rhizomes, the vines in the soil, like a swarm of demons dancing wildly, became uncontrollable and were buried in the soil, losing their vitality.

"Tsk tsk, a five thousand year old sea buckthorn monster! This stem... has such a strong vitality!"

Lin Chen murmured and put the rhizome into the nano bag.

"As long as the root of the seabuckthorn monster is not dead, it can continue to grow and reproduce... If we can tame it and use it in battle, I'm afraid it will have the strength of a Jindan stage!"

"If I didn't master the earth escape technique, I'm afraid this sea buckthorn monster would be impossible to kill..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

He turned his head and looked at the other sea buckthorn vines buried in the ground, which were so densely packed that they were countless.

The big ones are more than ten feet long and as thick as thighs, while the small ones are three feet long and as thick as arms.

This vine is an excellent material for refining weapons.

It is hard to be invaded by water or fire, and hard to be broken by metal or stone. It is extremely strong!

Not to mention the best magic weapons, even treasure weapons can be refined!
“This time it’s really a success!”

Lin Chen simply stayed underground and collected the vines of these sea buckthorn monsters.

After working for several hours, he finally collected all the vines into the purple jade gourd.

These vines alone filled up more than half of the gourd...

After finishing all this, Lin Chen broke out of the ground and returned to the oasis lake.

After looking around, Wanxun and Li Zhenqian were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"The rest of the journey depends on you all... There are still many good things in this ruins!"

Lin Chen first spent half a day picking all the spiritual herbs by the lake.

These tens of thousands of magical herbs are all five thousand years old.

Including first and second level spiritual medicines, and even a small number of third level spiritual medicines...

If it weren't for the protection of the sea buckthorn monster, these magical herbs would have long become food for the strange birds in the sky and other monsters.

After picking the spiritual herbs, Lin Chen released Long Ba and Feng Jiu. "You two, go search the ruins of the ancient town over there..."

"As you command, Master!"

Long Ba and Feng Jiu quickly entered the ancient brick and stone house in the ruins to search.

Although this ancient cultivator town seemed to be quiet, Lin Chen didn't know whether there were any threats there, so it was most appropriate to let the two puppets investigate.

Lin Chen held the instrument and shared Long Ba and Feng Jiu's perspective.

After a long time, he made sure there was no danger before entering to investigate.

It would be an exaggeration to call this ancient town a town.

There are only a dozen or so blue brick houses, and the tables and chairs inside have long been weathered over thousands of years.

After searching for a long time, Lin Chen only found a few pages of ancient books, and even the words on them could not be seen clearly.

After spending half a day exploring the entire ancient house, Lin Chen still found nothing.

"All this time wasted, and nothing happened?"

Lin Chen's face looked a little ugly.

"Alas, five thousand years have passed! Not to mention those objects and ancient books, even the magic tools would have been weathered away... especially in this desert area..."

As Lin Chen was talking, he suddenly realized something.

"Wait, since all the ancient books in the house have weathered away... why are these ten or so brick houses still there?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at these brick houses.

He pulled a brick from the roof and held it in his hand.

As soon as Lin Chen picked up the bricks and tiles, he felt something was wrong. The bricks and tiles seemed too heavy. A palm-sized brick weighed nearly 100 kilograms.

So Lin Chen took it in his hand and squeezed it hard.

As a result, the brick and tile did not break, but only left a very deep thumb mark.

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly widened.

You know, with his current strength, he can easily crush even a mid-grade magical weapon, let alone bricks and tiles?

"Hiss... Could it be that the materials used to build these stone houses are all second-level or even third-level ores?"

Lin Chen only felt his heart pounding.

The ores in the world of immortal cultivation are much richer than the exotic metals in the world of high martial arts...

For example, the first-grade spiritual mineral, cold iron stone, can be found everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation.

But in the world of high-level martial arts, it is a noble second-level exotic metal.

The second-level ore, Hundred Years Iron Essence, is considered a fourth-level exotic metal in the world of high-level martial arts!
In front of Lin Chen, the dozen or so brick and tile houses that were about ten feet high were obviously much more advanced than the cold iron stone, at least on the same level as the hundred-year-old iron essence...

"Wow, if these are all fourth-level exotic metals, how heavy would they be!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath without any hesitation.

Start demolishing the house!

From the brick roof to the walls, and then to the ground... they even dug three feet into the ground to find the foundation of the house!

Lin Chen did not leave any stone untouched and put them all into the nano bag.

In the end, not even one storage bag could hold it!

Lin Chen used three nanobags to pack all the stones.

Lin Chen put the nano bag into the purple jade gourd again, looked back, and smiled with relief after making sure that no piece of land was left behind.

……

After leaving the oasis, Lin Chen headed north.

After walking for about three more days, the desert behind us gradually became farther away.

Green grass and big trees began to appear in front of me.

After walking forward for a while, Lin Chen found a bluestone floor under his feet, surrounded by walls covered with mysterious patterns.

After a shake, the surrounding vision changed.

"Hmm? Does this count as... leaving the Black Sand Ancient Country?"

Lin Chen looked back, but the desert had disappeared.

Looking around this space again, there are several people who passed the second level assessment earlier than Lin Chen.

Jiang Liqian, Ghost Eye Boy, Wanxun and Li Zhenqian...

and also……

"Friend Xu!"

Not far away, Li Tianhan greeted Lin Chen.

The bald monk also looked very comfortable, and passing the second level did not seem to be difficult for him.

When Wanxun and Li Zhenqian heard the voice, they immediately showed joy on their faces.

"Brother Xu! You are still alive... that seabuckthorn monster..."

Lin Chen smiled and said:

"I used some life-saving trump cards and barely escaped..."

Wanxun and Li Zhenqian nodded after hearing this, unable to conceal the excitement in their eyes.

After Li Zhenqian woke up, he heard that Lin Chen died in the oasis to save him. He cried heartbrokenly and felt extremely guilty.

"Brother Xu is truly a man of high moral character!"

"If there is a chance in the future, I will treat you as a distinguished guest when you come to my Changchun Gate!"

Wanxun said with a bow.

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely visit you!"

Lin Chen is the seventh cultivator to pass the assessment of the Black Sand Country.

After all, other cultivators are different from him. They treat monsters as materials along the way and even want to dig deep into the ground to find treasures.

Most monks are thinking about passing the level quickly.

……

Another day passed.

About thirty monks came into this space one after another.

At the same time, that cold voice was heard again around.

"The second round of assessment is over. A total of 42 people have passed this round of assessment..."

"All monks who pass the assessment can choose to take the reward and leave the ruins, or choose to participate in the third round of assessment."

"The monk who leaves will be rewarded with a Golden Yuan Pill..."

As the words fell, several passages appeared in the space for leaving the ruins.

At the same time, the monks around were all shocked.

"Golden Yuan Pill! The reward for the second level test is actually the Golden Yuan Pill!"

"Hiss... This trip was not in vain! Hahaha, after having this pill, I will have hope of forming a pill!"

"..."

Not only were the other cultivators around shocked, even Lin Chen's heart was quite moved.

What is Jinyuan Dan?
This is a treasure that can increase the probability of forming a pill for a foundation-building cultivator!

Rumor has it that one Golden Yuan Pill can increase a cultivator's chance of forming a pill by 30%...

The recipe of this pill has almost been lost, and each Jinyuan Pill is worth thousands of gold.

If you use real money to buy it, you may not be able to buy it even with 100,000 spirit stones!

After hearing about the rewards for the second level, most of the monks on the scene were quite interested.

Although they came here for the third level of Golden Yuan Gong, the cultivators knew their own strengths very well.

With this Jinyuan Pill, there is a chance to form the pill. If you delay any further, your life may be in danger.

Li Zhenqian is very self-aware.

He walked to Lin Chen's side, bowed and said:
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for saving my life so many times. If you have time in the future, please come to the Li Mansion in Yanlai City to meet me. Zhen Qian will definitely treat you as a guest of honor!"

"Alas, but I know my own strength... I am lucky to pass the second level, so I won't ask for more... I will leave early this time."

Li Zhenqian's eyes were filled with regret. Such a heaven-defying opportunity might only come once in his lifetime.

But he also knew that if he continued to try the third level, he would probably die...

"Then Fellow Daoist Li, please leave for now!"

Lin Chen also bowed.

Li Zhenqian knew when to advance and when to retreat. It was a great opportunity for him to obtain the Golden Yuan Pill...
