My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 113 The Power of Nirvana
On the top floor of Fuyuan Restaurant, a large table of delicacies was placed on the table, but Zhou Xing did not start immediately, but waited for Shen Yuanxiang to explain the reason.

Shen Yuanxiang didn't hold back, and said: "A few years ago, our Shen's Chamber of Commerce obtained an ancient treasure map. After continuous exploration, it cost a lot of manpower, material resources and even a few lives. Finally, we found the treasure in the northeast grassland. .”

"The forces of the Tianying Gang entrenched on the grassland penetrated every corner of that area. In the end, the news of the treasure leaked out, and the Tianying Gang was the lackey of King Zhou. This group of aristocratic families seemed to be hungry people who smelled of blood. The wolf pounced on it immediately, wanting to share the treasure."

"But this treasure is unusual. It can change the fate of our Shen family. I won't compromise on anything. The Zhou family and the Ke family don't know what the treasure is. I learned a lesson a long time ago, huh..."

"But I also knew that the secret would leak out sooner or later, so I tried every means to find the royal family. The eldest princess discussed with me personally, and directly sent Commander Lin to help me settle today's matter, which also showed the royal family's attitude."

"For the royal family to stand up for our Shen family with a clear banner, the treasure... is a middle-grade spiritual vein and a medicinal garden with countless precious medicines!"

Zhou Xing was shocked. It is said that there is only one low-grade spiritual vein in the entire Daqi, which is one of the foundations of the founding of the Daqi. These years have been close to exhaustion, and there are not many countries in the northern part of Qingzhou who have spiritual veins. They must surpass countries without spiritual veins.

This treasure is enough to cause a bloodbath in a hundred countries, and make the royal family go crazy!
"But what does this have to do with me? Why did you tell me so clearly?"

Shen Yuanxiang said solemnly: "You must think that spiritual vein is a real treasure, but in fact, those precious medicines may be more precious than spiritual veins!"

Could it be that there is a holy medicine?

Zhou Xing's eyes widened, and it was actually more precious than a middle-grade spiritual vein.

"It is speculated that the spirit vein is used to support the medicine garden. To be precise, it is a spirit tree in the central area of ​​the medicine garden."

"Spiritual tree? Why is the spiritual tree so precious?"

"I'm not sure," Shen Yuanxiang said with a frown, "but I have consulted countless materials and guessed that the fruit that grows on that spiritual tree can improve the quality of a cultivator's spiritual root!"

"Isn't the spiritual root born?"

"It's innate, but it doesn't mean that it can't be improved through the day after tomorrow. I've traveled all over the world and heard rumors about it. The royal family definitely has records about it, but they just don't want to disclose it easily."

Shen Yuanxiang paused, and then said: "There is a strange spiritual pressure in the central area of ​​the medicine garden, and the stronger the strength, the stronger the pressure will be. We finally determined that if we want to reach the spiritual tree and pick the fruit, we must be extremely talented—— Only young geniuses with extremely high-quality spiritual roots can do it!"

"Although the royal family gave us the Shen family a chance, our Shen family doesn't have such an arrogance, so I came to you and your master to cooperate."

"Vice President Zhao is a role model for us civilians. It is thanks to his promotion that we can get to where we are today. Therefore, the first thing I think of when excluding those aristocratic families this time is you."

Zhou Xing showed gratitude, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "Is the royal family monolithic? Can they suppress so many families at the same time?"

Shen Yuanxiang opened his mouth, and after a while, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down...

When Zhou Xing returned to the academy, he immediately told Zhao Chen about the matter, and the latter was also greatly shocked, and immediately began to think about it, carefully considering suitable candidates.

A total of ten people competed, six from the imperial family, and only four from the Shen family. Zhou Xing must be one of them, and the other three were hard to choose. There are more than a dozen such students in the entire Wucheng Academy.

He has heard that there are differences between spiritual roots of the same grade, but even he can't tell the difference.

The children of the aristocratic family were not within the scope of consideration, after much deliberation, he decided to add Xiao Yuanfeng, Dongfang Yue and Nie Hai.

I have to say that this session is indeed the strongest in these years. Apart from Zhou Xing and Xiao Yuanfeng, Dongfang Yueneng and Zhou Wang's daughter are also very rare. As for Nie Hai, it is another vice president, Nie Qi. His grandson, who has the seventh-grade water spirit root, is a little older, and his realm is much higher than the first three.

Three days later, Zhao Chen secretly brought four people to join Shen Yuanxiang, who only brought Shen Dafu, the less people who knew about it, the better.

When they left Jilin City, the royal family was already waiting. Two golden-winged eagles, flying spirit beasts nearly ten meters in length, crawled at their feet. Among them, Zhou Xing knew the eldest princess, the second prince, and Zhou Ruoyin.

The two sides exchanged a simple greeting, and the eldest princess smiled and said, "The journey is quite long, and the golden-winged eagle can travel to the destination as soon as possible."

The golden-winged vulture spread its wings and flew high, sitting on its back. Zhou Xing was a little uncomfortable at first, but under Zhao Chen's reminder, he relaxed his mind and used his spiritual power to dissolve the air currents coming from all directions. He soon enjoyed it, a kind of A sense of freedom arises spontaneously.

Shen Dafu was next to Zhou Xing, and introduced: "The young man in the purple robe is Chu Guining, the grandson of Chu Xing, the vice president of the Royal Academy, who has a seventh-grade earth spirit root; the haggard-looking man with all white hair is King Qikang, Possesses a rare seventh-rank Yinling root; the woman in a green dress beside the eldest princess is the third princess Qi Liqing, who has a seventh-rank wood spirit root."

Zhou Xing took a rough look at the person on the other golden-winged vulture, then turned his gaze away and asked, "Who is that old man with white hair and childlike face at the front?"

Shen Dafu was about to say "I don't know either", Zhao Chen turned his head and said, "He is the royal family enshrining Master Zhang Yunfeng, he is the former emperor's sworn brother, a fifth-rank alchemist, and his strength has also reached the celestial phenomenon."

Both Zhou Xing and Shen Dafu showed surprise in their eyes, and the latter said with a trembling voice: "He is the only fifth-rank alchemy master in Daqi!"

Alchemists are also divided into nine ranks, the fifth rank can be called a master, the sixth rank can be called a master, and the next level is a holy alchemist.

The Golden Winged Vulture can travel thousands of miles a day. After two or three hours, everyone arrived at a prairie two thousand miles away. Below it was a crescent lake about a kilometer long from north to south.

Descending to the lake, Shen Dafu said: "The depth of Crescent Moon Lake is extremely uniform, about ten meters, and there are no spirit beasts in the lake, so ordinary warriors can swim in it..."

Zhang Yunfeng interjected: "The aura here is extremely thin, which seems quite strange. It seems that the medicine garden that was provided with spiritual veins was taken away. The old man can't wait to see it."

Shen Dafu did not delay, leading everyone into the water from the northern tip of the crescent moon, scraping away the thick mud at the bottom of the lake, revealing a round bronze plate, he took out a phoenix-shaped jade pendant, and put it into the groove on the bronze plate In the process, strange ripples appeared on the bronze plate, and then gradually became transparent.

"You can go down."

Shen Dafu jumped into it by setting an example, and the others immediately followed.

After jumping down, it was pitch black. Zhou Xing only felt himself falling rapidly. He estimated that he had fallen five to sixty meters. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then his whole body became light, and he landed on the ground safely.

Looking around, the area of ​​this area is only about ten miles in radius, and the height is nearly 50 meters. There is a huge unknown orb embedded in the hard rock above, like a small sun, providing light for this place.

Zhou Xing hadn't stepped out yet, when Zhang Yunfeng came down from behind, his eyes sparkled, and he rushed towards the medicine garden in front of him like a ghost.

When Zhou Xing and others passed by, he only heard Zhang Yunfeng jumping up and down in the medicine garden, looking at it, smelling it, calling out the names of the elixir one by one: "Perilla leaf, Vitex, Qingping... this is light." Cigu, my God..."

How can Zhang Yunfeng still have the image of a superior person at this time, the whole person looks crazy, the princess Qi Yuejun can't stand it anymore, walked up to Zhang Yunfeng who was lying on the dirt, and said helplessly: "Grandpa Yunfeng, these elixir I won’t be able to run with long legs anymore, let’s see the Ascension Tree first.”

"Yes, the Ascension Spirit Tree," Zhang Yunfeng got up from the ground, "this is something comparable to the holy medicine!"

Everyone came to the central area of ​​the medicine garden. The three spiritual trees were in the shape of a triangle, about five meters apart from each other, and took root quietly in the middle. Two of them were smaller, less than two meters high. There is a tree that is about ten feet high, and it bears twice as many spiritual fruits as the small tree.

The three spiritual trees were all bare, without a single leaf, and there were few branches. Only fist-sized spiritual fruits hung on the trees.

Zhang Yunfeng and Zhao Chen released their spiritual power to test, but they were immediately countered by a huge force of counterattack. The two strong men in the Celestial Phenomena Realm were full of spiritual power, and they took several steps back to stabilize their figures, and they all looked dignified.

Zhang Yunfeng said slowly: "The Ascending Spirit Tree is a very peculiar kind of spiritual tree. In fact, the three trees in front of me have all grown up, and the spiritual fruits on the tree are fully mature, but the gap between them is visible to the naked eye."

"If it's just a low-level spiritual root, you can take a piece of Ascending Spirit Fruit to raise your spiritual root by one rank. If you are a fourth- or fifth-rank spiritual root, you need the Ascension Spirit Fruit that grows on a taller tree. As for you, Unless you are at the top of the seventh rank, it is almost impossible to upgrade to the eighth rank, because the ascending spirit fruit is only effective for the first time, after taking it, it will become an ordinary fruit for you, and it may not be very good. tasty."

Hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed, thinking that their spiritual roots could reach the eighth rank in one fell swoop, comparable to the founding emperor of Daqi.

"Now is the time for you ten juniors to perform, prepare to break in."

Everyone didn't move, their eyes kept scanning the others.

Zhao Chen suggested: "Ten of you choose your own starting place around a radius of 50 meters, and then follow our instructions to start at the same time."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then took action, Qi Ming went straight to the nearest place to Zhang Xu Gaosheng Spiritual Tree, Xiao Yuanfeng, Nie Hai, Qi Liqing, Qi Kang and Chu Guining also walked near Qi Ming.

Dongfangyue and Zhou Ruoyin aimed at a small tree, while Zhou Xing and Qi Yuejun aimed at another small tree.

Zhou Xing looked at Qi Yuejun in surprise and said, "I heard that the eldest princess is already at the Heaven Martial Realm, so why come to fight with me?"

Qi Yuejun smiled and said: "It's not about the realm here. After all, I'm just a weak woman. The quality of spiritual root is also the bottom of the seven ranks. How can I compete with others?"

"Can you tell the quality of spiritual roots of the same grade?" Zhou Xing suddenly stared at Qi Yuejun's sapphire-like eyes, but he didn't dare to stay, and immediately looked away.

Qi Yuejun pursed his lips and smiled, instead of answering directly, he put his soft body close to Zhou Xing, exhaled and said, "I believe that Xing, you will definitely be able to raise your spiritual root to the eighth rank this time, and become a master in the future." Don't forget Yue Jun, the strong man who stands up to the sky and the ground."

"Si..." Zhou Xing had goosebumps all over his body, and quickly distanced himself from Qi Yuejun.

At this time, Zhang Yunfeng and Zhao Chen announced the start, and ten people stepped into the spiritual pressure area at the same time, and a huge oppressive force immediately enveloped everyone.

Zhou Xing sank all over, his steps were unsteady, he staggered, and immediately adjusted his limbs to stabilize.

He wanted to try to mobilize his spiritual power, but found it really difficult to do so. Looking inside his body, the Thunder Tree and Lei Dan in the dantian space seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't see clearly. The origin of the practitioner's spiritual power was locked. , the small amount of spiritual power that originally circulated throughout the body was also extremely stagnant.

This is all psychologically prepared, Zhou Xing no longer thinks about it, and walks forward with all his strength.

At the beginning, the 30 meters was relatively easy. Although the spiritual pressure gradually increased, the ten people walked over quickly, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom. After passing the 30 meter line, the spiritual pressure in the depths increased a lot, and the gap between the ten people will appear.

Qi Yuejun's breath gradually became disordered, and his slightly thin and delicate body seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, trembling, and he was already one body behind Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing's footsteps were heavy, his legs were as if filled with lead, and the strength of his feet could crush ordinary rocks, but they could only leave shallow footprints on this compact land.

He stared at the Ascending Spirit Tree in front of him with a firm gaze, but the further he walked, the more he couldn't straighten his body. Every time he took a step, all the muscles in his body had to exert strength at the same time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move and could only be crushed on the ground.

In the last five meters, the spiritual pressure suddenly increased by an order of magnitude, like a mountain pressing down on the top, even Zhou Xing was crushed to the ground, his bones creaked, as if they would shatter at any moment, and only his limbs Together, they supported their bodies with great difficulty, trying not to let themselves become like dogs gnawing mud.

"Damn it, I can't resist it at all. How can I pick the Spiritual Fruit?" Zhou Xing clenched his teeth, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qi Ming and the others who had different goals, and found that they, like himself, couldn't make any further progress.

Zhang Yunfeng outside the spiritual pressure area frowned and murmured: "It shouldn't be, even a genius with a seventh-rank spiritual root can't get close. If his own spiritual root has reached the eighth-rank high, the effect of this ascending spirit fruit will be negligible." .”

Just as Zhou Xing was kneeling on the ground with difficulty, he suddenly felt a little itchy on his knees. This is... the injury is healing itself?

With the knee as a support point, under the huge spiritual pressure, Zhou Xing immediately felt the severe pain caused by the shattered kneecap. Without the ability to use spiritual power, he could not move even if he retreated to the depths.

Now the injury is actually healing on its own, and it seems that the power of Nirvana is at work again. Zhou Xing calmed down and sensed strands of strange energy emerging from the depths of his body, within his bones and blood, rushing towards the wound. The stored Qi, blood, spiritual power and other powers are rapidly being consumed.
