The Ancient Holy Body thinks I'm too extreme!

Chapter 83 Strengthening Source Stones? Even Source Masters are no match for me! Goddess King of the Jiang Family pays respects to Jiang Taixu! (45)
Although both were in seclusion for cultivation, Ye Fan had to go far away to cultivate due to the Golden Sea of ​​Bitterness.

We met again, but it was only for a little over an hour before we had to part again.

The two seemed to have already gotten used to it, and each said goodbye with care.

The young marshal's army rested on the spot and occupied this place to begin their seclusion and recuperation.

Zhang Kun also unearthed a cave, and soon, a five-story silver pagoda appeared in his hand.

It was like a bottomless pit, already filled with nearly 30,000 units of energy.

Half of it is the source area of ​​this plunder of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

The other half was obtained by cutting down mountains and destroying temples and small sects over the past six months.

Also.

There were also new discoveries—

Origin Stone!

In addition to Originium, this raid on the Originium region of the Yao Guang Holy Land also yielded Originium!
These source stones are of all shapes and sizes, ranging from small pebbles to large millstones, and some even weigh over a thousand pounds.

As Zhang Kun's thoughts shifted, fifty or sixty source stones appeared before him, neatly arranged on the ground.

"According to ancient records from the Northern Regions, tens of thousands of years ago, during the ancient era, an unparalleled beauty was unearthed, who emerged from the divine source."

Zhang Kun recalled the rumors about these Originium stones in the original work, and gently stroked them with his palm.

"Perhaps it is these kinds of rumors that have made the jade gambling industry so prosperous, attracting all kinds of cultivators."

"Speaking of which, Master Yuan has to pay to gamble on stones, and he also needs to develop a good eye, otherwise he will lose money."

"It's better to be a bandit; it's a risk-free business!"

Zhang Kun chuckled and gently patted a palm-sized stone in front of him, saying, "Open whichever source stone you want!"

The words have fallen!

Click!
As Zhang Kun slapped down, the stone fell directly to the ground.

In that instant, a blinding light burst forth, and the dense spiritual energy could not dissipate it at all.

A treasure has been found!
Good start!

Zhang Kun raised an eyebrow and placed the dazzling ball of light in his palm.

[Strengthen the alien ancient insect source? Required strengthening time: 1000 years]

……

Just then, a black line of information appeared on this radiant, mysterious, rice-grain-sized source.

"This is the origin of ancient insects!"

Suddenly, Jiang Jiang, who was sitting alone at the cave entrance as a protector, spoke softly:

"It feeds exclusively on primordial sources and its entire body is imbued with primordial essence. It is a special kind of spirit insect, worth about thirty catties of pure primordial essence."

“When I was in the Jiang family, someone used this to cultivate.”

Hearing this, Zhang Kun shook his head and sneered. As expected of a family from ancient times, they are truly wealthy and powerful.

Of course, refining rare and precious materials for one's own use is only feasible in the early stages of cultivation.

Once you reach the third secret realm, it becomes very difficult to rely on external things anymore; at that point, you must attain enlightenment.

Once you reach the third secret realm, the only way to improve your cultivation is through enlightenment; there are few other shortcuts.

This is also why Zhang Kun didn't allocate much of the resources to Jiang Jiang.

"Originium is indeed unreliable!"

Soon, Zhang Kun opened seven source stones in succession, all of which were empty, containing only the outer layer of stone.

Having lost interest, he lightly tapped his finger and opened all the source stones in front of him one by one!

Suddenly.

Five or six streams of rich spiritual energy, no weaker than that of the ancient insect source, soared into the sky.

They are all of different origin!
The strengthening process can take thousands of years, or even thousands of years.

Zhang Kun once suspected that if it took a thousand years to strengthen it, it might become a 'divine source'!
He soon discovered that enhancement information could appear even before the Originium was activated!
Depending on the time required for enhancement, the longer the time, the greater the probability of the source appearing; it's almost guaranteed to appear every time!

"This……"

Zhang Kun smiled and said, "In the art of gambling on stones, I'm afraid Master Yuan is no match for me!"

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Fan earnestly sought advice from an old man about knowledge related to the source.

The old man in front of me, known as Master Zhang, was a descendant of Yuan Tianshi, whom I met by chance after he broke through in seclusion.

At that time, the other party was leading a dozen or so young men, wandering around the mountains in search of the source vein.

Ye Fan witnessed the opponent's extraordinary source techniques.

Master Zhang also realized that Ye Fan was no ordinary boy and wanted to get help to get rid of the bandits Chen Da Hu Zi and his gang in Shizhai.

Ye Fan has been in Shizhai for a few days now, and his understanding of the source has improved a lot. He needs to continue learning.

Upon reaching the other shore, Ye Fan deeply realized just how terrifying the bottomless pit that was the Ancient Sacred Body truly was.

For each advancement to a higher realm, everything required needs to be multiplied tenfold.

He made a preliminary estimate that to reach the Great Perfection of the Nine Transformations of the Other Shore, it would require more than a hundred catties of Source!

If it were the first realm of the Daoist Palace Secret Realm, he would need a thousand catties of source energy, calculated at ten times the normal amount.

Even in the Northern Region, most small sects don't have this many resources. If this were ten times the amount needed to cultivate the second realm of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, Ye Fan almost fainted; it was simply terrifying!

He simply couldn't bear it; it was beyond reason. Once the astronomical figures that followed were calculated, even the Holy Land would probably be spitting blood.

"I must obtain the 'Book of Origin'!"

Ye Fan's face turned green every time he thought about the cultivation ahead.

Without the Source Book, the bottomless pit of the Ancient Sacred Body could never be filled!

He must become the Source Master that Master Zhang mentioned; only in this way can he obtain a large amount of Source.

Of course, Ye Fan also understood that there was another way.

However, Zhang Kun's method was not suitable for him.

In his view, the risk was too great.

Only someone as extreme as Zhang Kun would be so arrogant and domineering, running rampant in the northern region.

"It seems that no matter what, I have to take the risk and not touch anything inside Purple Mountain. I must get the Origin Book out no matter what."

Ye Fan gazed at the purple mountain near the stone village, his expression serious.

He learned this from Master Zhang.

A thousand years ago, the Zhang family's Yuan Tian Master entered Zishan, and the "Yuan Tian Book" may have been lost there.

Also.

He had recently been wandering around Zishan and discovered something terrifying—

Zishan is growing!
I'm growing taller every day!

Suddenly, shouts of people and neighing of horses came from outside the stone village, causing panic among the villagers.

"Chen the Bearded Man is here, with dozens of men, he's going to wipe out our village!"

"Quickly hide! The bandits are coming, they're all armed, they're going to massacre our village."

Many young and middle-aged men organized the old and young to hide, and then rushed to the village gate with sharp knives.

Ye Fan and Zhang Wuye came over together and saw that the young and strong men in the village were all very tough.

Seeing the bandits approaching, they showed no fear and were all prepared for battle.

"You guys behave yourselves."

Uncle Zhang and several other old men rebuked these hot-blooded young people.

Outside the stone village, dust billowed into the sky, and dozens of riders arrived in the blink of an eye, shouting and neighing.

"sister!"

Just then, a simple-minded young man from among the village's able-bodied men suddenly ran out, excitedly shouting:

"Uncle Zhang, it's my sister! My sister is still alive!"

Ye Fan was taken aback. He recognized this simpleton; his name was Lei Bo.

The other party had said that his sister had been kidnapped by Chen Dahuzi's gang of bandits.

When the topic of this came up, Er Lengzi cried his heart out.

But now, Er Lengzi's sister has returned alive...

"Wait, isn't that... Old Zhang's henchman?!"

Ye Fan was dumbfounded.

As the bandits drew closer, Ye Fan saw the familiar faceless masked knight!
We met again not long after we parted.

What a wonderful coincidence!

"Lao Zhang?!"

"leaf?"

Zhang Kun, riding on the strange beast, looked at Ye Fan, who had appeared at the gate of the stone village opposite, and was quite surprised.

But what surprised him even more was—

Lei Mei is actually the older sister of the simple-minded Lei Bo!
This reminded him of Er Lengzi's sister's experience, which seemed to coincide with Lei Mei's!

The only difference is——

Er Lengzi's older sister is an ordinary person, but Lei Mei is a cultivator at the Dao Palace realm!
wrong!

Er Lengzi, and even Er Lengzi's sister, are not ordinary people!

The original text mentions that in his later years, the Zhang family patriarch disappeared for a period of time and returned with two babies...

It possesses immense strength, capable of lifting an adult.

Their blood is silver, their foreheads glow, they have double pupils, and they have many other unusual features.

Not human, but an ancient creature!

These two descendants lived in Shizhai and gradually took on human form.

One's surname is Wang, and the other's surname is Lei!
Clearly, something must have happened that caused Lei Mei to revert to her ancestral bloodline when she jumped into the river to survive.

In the original story, the two simpletons, Lei Bo and Wang Shu, awakened their bloodlines and, after taking a nap, directly became cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm!
Thinking of this, Zhang Kun turned around and looked at a tall mountain in the distance.

Then she looked at Jiang Jiang beside her.

Perhaps, it's time to meet the Jiang family's God King...
