Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 292 0291: The wooden spirit bead is formed; dialogue with the Ringwraith!
After the same test, Shentu Li breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the three rays of light flashing from the spirit stone. He consoled himself:
"It's good that I don't have four spiritual roots. I'm considered average, not as good as the best but better than the worst. Now I can practice the skills directly."

Next, Ji Lin said, "Let me do it."

Ji Lin's martial arts talent is better than Shen Tu Li's, he has five spiritual bones, but after knowing this, Ji Lin was in a bad mood. After the spiritual root test, when he saw that he actually had two spiritual roots, his previous depressed mood was swept away, and he couldn't suppress his smile and laughed on the spot.

Cheng Zongyang still looked at him calmly, then looked at Yu Wenlin.

But Yu Wenlin did not test the spiritual bones, but directly tested the spiritual roots.

Cheng Zongyang glanced at him and understood what he meant, so he handed the spirit stone to him.

The result was the same as Shentu Li's, with three spiritual roots as well, and was also average.

This also made Yu Wenlin feel relieved. As long as they were not five spiritual roots, it would be fine. Otherwise, with their age and lack of resources, it would be hopeless to build a foundation.

After Cheng Zongyang took away the spirit stone, he said to them, "Three, the test is over, and you all know your spiritual root attributes. As for the choice of immortal cultivation method, it is also written in the booklet. You can choose according to your spiritual root attributes.

Secondly, you can each have one of the other rooms for now, but the room on the far left of the first floor is my study, which is protected by a formation, so don’t get close to it unless necessary, otherwise I have the right to terminate the rental cooperation and the rent you have paid will not be refunded.

Finally, you should register your residence to avoid being driven out of the city by law enforcement officers later."

The three of them clasped their fists in greeting, expressing their understanding.

Next, Cheng Zongyang ignored them and returned to his study alone.

The three of them each carried their own spirit stones back to their rooms.

In the study, Cheng Zongyang placed the three parchment scrolls on the bookshelf and then left the Cheng Mansion.

Next, Cheng Zongyang started to go to the market stalls to buy various first-grade martial arts. This type of martial arts covered the five elements and the three wonders, and you could bargain when buying from the stalls.

There are many types, but Cheng Zongyang doesn't care, as long as they are real and cheap. After all, this kind of skills are printed in batches and brought to Yufeng Fairy City, so that independent practitioners can buy them in the future.

Three days passed like this again.

During these three days, Cheng Zongyang visited all the market stalls in the South District, and even went to the market stalls of independent cultivators in the West District, and bought a total of forty-three cheap first-grade immortal cultivation techniques.

The five elements and three wonders are all covered.

At the same time, he also bought a lot of elixir recipes, elixir seeds, etc. that were suitable for consumption during the Qi Refining Period.

This is all in preparation for farming in the wilderness world.

Bulk purchasing meant that a large amount of spirit stones flowed out of his hands. When they were not enough, he would use the points earned from the sale of spirit rice, ice essence, fire essence, and red blood pills to purchase three foundation-building pills, which he then sold quietly and secretly through three black markets in different locations, in exchange for a higher amount of 150,000 spirit stones.

Things are still more valuable on the black market.

Although he was being followed during the period, Cheng Zongyang was able to avoid it well by making use of the wilderness world.

Finally, after Cheng Zongyang got the news from Luo Dingran, he had to stop his plan to purchase some supplies.

There was nothing else that forced him to stop - the remaining three temples had been found!

So, on the fourth night, he hurried back home and told Yu Wenlin and the other two that he would go into seclusion for a few days before opening the formation and letting his spirit enter the wilderness world.

Market hut.

Luo Dingran had been waiting, and when he saw Cheng Zongyang appear, he bowed and said happily:

"Sir, we conducted targeted searches based on the clues you gave us before, and we found everything!"

"This third temple is located in a place named Qingcheng Mountain after identification. It is also an abandoned village you found after expanding your territory. It is not surprising that there is an abandoned open-pit iron mine at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. There are many houses in the abandoned village, so it should be a large village. The temple is near the mine."

"The village where the fourth temple is located is located in an area named Beiyin Mountain after identification. At the top of the mountain is a geothermal area. The pool at the top of the mountain is a hot water pool, and there is a temple next to the pool."

“The location of the fifth temple is not in a dense forest, but in a place called Bapan Mountain. There is a special place there with a towering tree that is taller than ordinary mountains and has extremely thick branches. The temple is inside the tree, which was expanded by someone and the statue was placed inside.

There is indeed a village nearby. But the giant tree is dead. And through distance detection, each village is more than a kilometer away from each other. "

Cheng Zongyang laughed loudly and said quickly: "Let's go, break the formation and get the spirit pearl!"

The five spirit beads were one thing, but the main thing was to have gathered all the statue soul crystals, which meant that he had at least fifteen minutes to talk to the Ringwraiths!

Next, under the guidance of Luo Dingran, they took three third-level formation-breaking talismans purchased from the outside world and went to Beiyin Mountain where the fourth temple was located.

At the location of the fourth temple protected by a formation, Cheng Zongyang saw that it was the same as the second temple, with servant statues guarding the gate.

This means there is one more soul crystal.

No nonsense, start breaking the formation!
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Zongyang brought all four statues of the fourth temple back to the market hut.

At the same time, the mole beast went more than 100 meters deep into the top of the mountain and found the fiery red Fire Spirit Pearl near the magma area!

Still unformed.

Cheng Zongyang then went to the third Mount Qingcheng, dug out the Golden Spirit Pearl, and took away three statues without servants.

As for the fifth one, Cheng Zongyang was also extremely shocked when he saw this super giant tree in front of him, which was towering into the clouds and had a base diameter of about seventy or eighty meters.

"It must have taken more than a thousand years for a giant tree like this to grow to this size. Maybe it has even become a spirit, right?"

Through identification, Cheng Zongyang knew that the death of this giant tree was related to the wood spirit bead in the temple.

The wood spiritual energy sucked away the wood spiritual power of this giant tree.

It was not unlike what he had guessed, the giant tree had indeed become a spirit, but it was confined inside the tree by the power of the Shintoists. In order to prevent itself from being sucked dry and dying, the giant tree continued to absorb more spiritual energy from the surroundings, eventually forming a balance.

But something unexpected happened in the end. The giant tree had no spiritual power to absorb, and its own power was sucked away by the Wood Spirit Pearl.

When Cheng Zong found the wood spirit bead in the center of the tree roots, he discovered that the wood spirit bead had actually taken shape!
It is also the only one of the five spirit beads that has taken shape!

【Wooden Spirit Pearl】

Introduction: The Wood Spirit Bead is a wood spirit bead made by using the wood essence of the mother spirit of the Heavenly Spirit Tree through a sophisticated formation. It is not a treasure that is born naturally. It contains extremely abundant wood spirit power. It takes a hundred years to reach the first grade and a thousand years to take shape. It accelerates its formation by absorbing the essence of the four thousand year old Heavenly Spirit Wood. It can continuously release wood spirit power to supply its own cultivation and quickly heal any external injuries. It can be combined with the other four spirit beads to form the five elements spirit vein. Grade: Earth Treasure (formed)

Function: Endless life (within the Five Elements Spiritual Veins Array)
Points: 500 million
-
Looking at the slightly different introduction and the quota of five million points, Cheng Zongyang's heart began to beat fast.

"This one is worth five million, and the other four are worth six hundred thousand, which makes five million six hundred thousand. There are eighteen soul crystals, and each one is worth seventy-five thousand, which makes one million four hundred and forty thousand! My God, everything in the Three Lords Temple alone is worth seven million four hundred and forty thousand! My God!!"

He was really tempted by this amount of points!

With these points, he can buy more things to fill up the fairy city.

But when he thought about the fact that the fairy city needed the five elements of spiritual veins to enhance the five elements of spiritual energy, and needed to communicate with the Ringwraiths and increase their abilities, he gave up the idea of ​​selling it. At the same time, he also realized that his previous thoughts were a bit naive.

Five million is the price of a Earth Treasure Grade Spiritual Pearl. If five of them were purchased...

Cheng Zongyang immediately ran out of ideas.

As for the grade of the earth treasure, it is already a higher grade than the ninth grade, but it is not yet at the grade of immortal weapon or innate spiritual treasure.

The ninth rank can still be classified as a man-made treasure, but the treasures above the ninth rank can be called half-created by heaven and earth, and half-born and raised spiritual treasures. Their power and function far exceed the ninth rank.

This can be seen from the effect of the Wood Spirit Pearl.

Endless life means that as long as you are within the Five Elements Magic Array, the wood spiritual energy can be continuously supplied.

"Too powerful!" Cheng Zongyang suppressed the idea of ​​selling it.

Back on the fourth floor of the market hut, Cheng Zongyang looked at the nine statues of the Three Lords and the two clay statues of the mountain god's servants lined up in a row. He no longer hesitated and peeled off all the soul crystals on their brows one by one.

As the pressure came and went, Cheng Zongyang got used to it.

He looked at the fifteen soul crystals of the Three Lords statues and the three soul crystals of the Hebo Mountain God and fell into deep thought.

The questions he wanted to ask had basically been sorted out before, so there was nothing to worry about. The only thing he had to worry about was whether these eighteen soul crystals would be enough.

"Sir." Luo Dingran asked from the side: "Do you have any concerns?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said, "No. I've waited for so long, and now that I've reached this point, there's no need to worry."

So, Cheng Zongyang came to the first floor, put the eighteen soul crystals on the counter, and said, "Ringwraith, there are eighteen soul crystals in total. If I make a sacrifice, do I have eighteen minutes to talk?"

Soon, the Ringwraith responded: [Yes]

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly sacrificed all the soul crystals to the Ringwraith.

The next moment, all eighteen souls disappeared, and soon after, a prompt box appeared.

-

The soul crystal sacrifice is successful, and the market hut will receive new power replenishment, and the hut will be updated. The update time is 24 hours. It is expected to be updated in minutes. During the update, the purchase column, consignment column, decomposition column, and analysis column functions are suspended. The rest of the functions remain unchanged.

Update countdown——17:55
-

Looking at the prompt, Cheng Zongyang also knew that the eighteen minutes was the delay time given by the Ringwraiths, so he didn't waste any more time and immediately asked: "First, let me tell you about the overall situation of this wilderness world. Why are there so many races? What is your status here?"

The Ringwraith responded without hiding anything:

[I don’t know what this world was like originally. I only know that when I was born and assigned this world, it was like this now.

Later I learned that this world is called the 'Realm of All Races' and it was owned by a being like me before. It acquired creatures of various races from other worlds and developed them here.

This situation should have been discovered by other species of the same kind, which resulted in the destruction of all living things in this world and the devouring of their own kind. It is not known whether this was the case.

But how this world was in the past does not affect the present. Now, as my abilities improve, my control over this world becomes more comprehensive, and we still complement each other. 】

After listening to the Ringwraith's rather informative speech, Cheng Zongyang quickly wrote down some key points and asked solemnly:
"So this is why you were noticed after joining the Jade Stone Market, and the connection was cut off, or even the function was directly disabled?"

[Yes, no matter whether this world is as I guessed or not, I will not allow this possibility to occur. ]

Cheng Zongyang quite agrees with this point. If it is really the owner of another system who wants to destroy the owner of this world, then disconnecting before having the power to protect himself is the best option.

He pondered for about half a minute, analyzing the relevance of some questions in his mind at a high speed, and then asked: "According to all the clues discovered at this stage, there are far more Shinto things than immortal things. In some remaining books and information, there are also things about Shinto gods and beliefs, such as the soul crystals, He Bo, Di Jun, etc. that were sacrificed to you. Is this world dominated by Shinto?"

[According to the information I know, immortal cultivators and Shintoists coexist and compete with each other. They are the two most powerful racial forces. As for the beastmen, demons, elves and other various races, they are all races of other levels.]

Cheng Zongyang quickly wrote down the main points again. He was like a reporter interviewing, asking questions according to the established content.

"Do you know anything about the Five Elements Spiritual Pearls? They say it takes a hundred years to become a first-grade pearl, and a thousand years to be formed. Except for the wooden spirit pearl, the rest are of the fifth grade. Does this mean that the changes in this world happened five hundred years ago?"

The reason why he had this question was because the spiritual power of the heaven and earth in the martial arts world outside had weakened and disappeared, which seemed to have happened hundreds of years ago. It was also because all the immortal cultivators disappeared and no longer cared about the affairs of the martial arts world that the aristocratic families rose up, and there were also disputes among countries and the current situation.

So, he had to relate to this issue in this way.

Similarly, this also involves the question of the relationship between the wilderness world and the outside world.

【The Five Elements Spiritual Pearl is not used by Shintoists to arrange spiritual veins, but to be refined into divine weapons after they are formed. These are weapons of Shintoism, not divine weapons of the human world. But for cultivators, the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins can be guided and utilized through the Five Elements Spiritual Veins Array, such as forming artificial spiritual veins. It emits sufficient five elements of spiritual energy. And according to what I know, the time when the world changed is indeed about five hundred years.

As for the connection with the outside world, it does exist. According to some remaining records, the last time I was like this, as you said, when the system is fully functional, it should have a connection with the outside world, similar to an entry and exit channel.

The immortal cultivators from the outside world entered this world, bringing with them the immortal cultivation system. There were immortal cultivation things in the outside world. Later, something happened in the wilderness world, which indirectly led to the destruction of the spiritual energy and spiritual veins outside, thus losing the foundation for cultivation.

Of course, this is just my guess. Perhaps the owners of this so-called Ten Thousand Races Realm are not just two generations, but there are more "predecessors". And I am just the latest one. 】

Cheng Zongyang frowned: "The Ice and Fire Immortal Cultivation World has an ancient history, it seems that the development of immortal cultivation in the outside world has not been short. Obviously, there should be more than five hundred years of preaching. Of course, your later guess is not impossible. If you die unexpectedly in the future, this wilderness world may be taken away by the existence that created you and distributed to a new system."

[So my understanding and control of this world is far from enough. If there is really a channel connecting to the outside world, then there should be channels to other worlds. If so, what I knew before was not correct. The creatures in this world were not absorbed or created by the system, but there are channels leading to different worlds here. They came here, thus forming a situation of competition among different races. ]
