Chapter 216: Treasure hunting in Daofeng Mountain, powerful people gathering in front of the gate of Dongtian! (6K)

[From now on, entry and exit of Shiyang Cave Heaven will be strictly controlled. Any soldiers entering or leaving Shiyang Cave Heaven must report to the military community.]

[All members of Shiyang Dongtian, except for the explorers, are not allowed to leave Yangcheng without permission. ]

[All treasures obtained through exploration must also be handed in. 】

[The birthplace of the blessed land of the cave, there are many dangers, explorers please proceed with caution...]

Zhao Xing looked at the prohibitions and rules on the ground mirror and couldn't help but frowned: "How come the prohibition was issued in ten days? It's earlier than I thought."

He remembered that the spiritual outburst in the Ten Yang Cave Heaven in his previous life should have started in the second half of the month.

Moreover, at the beginning, the military community did not react so quickly, and the ban was only issued after many people came in.

Confirming the birthplace of the blessed land is also a matter of caution.

But now, it has come a little earlier, and it seems to have been prepared.

"The experience of the previous life cannot be used as a complete reference. Fortunately, I have the help of Old Liu and I made preparations early, otherwise I would only be able to watch helplessly now." Zhao Xing said inwardly.

"Zhao Xing, have you seen the news?!" A figure flew over from a distance and landed on the Qilin Flying Boat. It was Xia Jing and Chen Shijie.

This is the [Inverted Peak Mountain Range], and the surrounding mountains are floating upside down in the sky.

Zhao Xing and his four companions arrived at the Daofeng Mountains in advance, under the pretext of "exploring the celestial phenomena in the Daofeng Mountains."

This project assignment was submitted by Zhao Xing himself.

"I saw it."

The ban has been issued and strange phenomena have occurred frequently, which will attract everyone's attention.

"I didn't expect that the Shiyang Cave Heaven would be upgraded. It looks like it will produce large-scale spiritual beauty and great treasures!" Xia Jing was very excited.

Chen Shijie's face was also beaming. He never thought that he would encounter such a good thing.

"Don't be too happy yet. The cave is upgraded and the world will undergo drastic changes. We must always be on guard against danger during this process." Zhao Xing said, "Where are Brother Ji and Long Xiao?"

"On the way back." Xia Jing said.

They didn't come here for tourism. After arriving, they naturally searched everywhere to see if there were any treasures.

However, as soon as the strange phenomenon occurred, Zhao Xing sent a message asking them to come back quickly.

Because the initial stage of the cave's upgrading is also accompanied by unknown dangers, it is only after it stabilizes that it can be explored extensively.

Zhao Xing knew everything about this, so he asked Xia Jing and Chen Shijie to explore it together. With a wizard and a warrior, their ability to deal with emergencies would be greatly improved.

Ji Ziyun is a sorcerer and Long Xiao is a swordsman, the same principle applies.

"Okay, wait until they come back..." Before he finished speaking, a loud noise was heard.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunder exploded in the sky twenty miles away!
"Kakaka~"

The thunder was so thick that its diameter exceeded 20 meters. It was like a pillar of lightning! It instantly split a floating mountain below.

"Boom!"

The mountain cracked in the middle, and then the entire mountain began to burn, and the mountain quickly deformed and squeezed.

In the end, an active volcano suspended in the air was formed!

"Boom~~~~"

A terrible pressure was brewing in the sky.

"Which direction are they heading?!" Zhao Xing fiercely grabbed Xia Jing, "Are they over there?"

"Yes." Xia Jing's voice was a little trembling. It was too late to notify them now. He could only hope that they would get away soon.

"go!"

Zhao Xing immediately drove the Qilin Flying Boat, opened the barrier, and rushed in the opposite direction of the active volcano in the sky.

"Oh!"

I thought it was a volcanic eruption, but I didn't expect that a quarter of an hour after flying out, the entire mountain exploded!

"boom!"

First, a circular shock wave quickly swept through the surroundings, shattering many mountains.

Immediately afterwards, a mushroom cloud rose, and a large amount of rocks, flaming, splashed in all directions.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Huge rocks with a diameter of twenty to thirty meters were emitting flames and splashing around. The power was so terrifying that each boulder was comparable to a full-strength attack from a fifth-grade warrior.

Zhao Xing and his men had already hidden behind several mountains. Because there was an obstruction in the sky, they were not affected.

But this phenomenon still shocked the three of them.

"I have never seen such terrifying divine power." Xia Jing's eyes were full of shock.

"Thunder splits the mountain, mountain explosions tear the sky apart. It is truly beyond human control." Chen Shijie felt even more deeply.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Xia Jing glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Shijie said: "He is gaining enlightenment. Si Nong originally controls the power of heaven and earth. Now that he has seen the power of heaven with his own eyes, he naturally has many feelings."

Xia Jing nodded and asked, "Then why are you..."

As soon as he asked the question, Xia Jing knew he had said the wrong thing.

Chen Shijie was also a little melancholy: "I am not as talented as him, I just feel it slightly."

"Ahem... sorry." Xia Jing was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. People should know themselves." Chen Shijie said. "But this is indeed a great opportunity. I will watch it a few more times, and maybe I will make a breakthrough."

At this moment, Long Xiao rushed over according to the direction given.

"Fuck, did you guys see that? Such a huge thunder, it blew up the mountain!" Long Xiao flew down on his sword, shouting.

"Luckily you ran fast, otherwise you would have to eat the feast."

"Long Xiao, where is my cousin?" Xia Jing asked.

"Oh, Prince Ji, he's in another direction and will be back soon. You don't have to worry about him." Long Xiao came over and looked at Zhao Xing sitting cross-legged on the ground and asked curiously, "Old Chen, what is he doing?"

"He is comprehending the Dao." Chen Shijie explained, "Si Nong originally controls the power of heaven and earth. He just observed and felt something. I guess he is comprehending the volcano method or the thunder method."

"Oh, then why didn't you figure it out?" Long Xiao looked innocent.

"Cough cough..." Xia Jing almost choked.

Chen Shijie: “…”

Old Chen was also speechless. Xia Jing stabbed him just now, and you stabbed him again?

"I'm not as talented as him, okay?"

"Hahahaha, sorry..." Long Xiao laughed to hide his embarrassment.

Hearing this hearty laughter.

Ji Ziyun, who was looking for a position above the mountain, suddenly landed and said, "Cousin, General Chen, General Long, are you all right?"

"fine."

"That's good." Ji Ziyun's eyes fell on the ground. Seeing Zhao Xing's eyes closed and brows furrowed, she thought something was wrong with him and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Brother Zhao?"

Chen Shijie: “…”

Xia Jing: “…”

"I'll go observe the surrounding environment." Chen Shijie's mouth twitched, and he stood up and left.

Ji Ziyun’s mind was full of question marks. What on earth was going on?

"He's fine, and so are we." Xia Jing changed the subject, "Cousin, have you and Long Xiao found any strange places?"

Ji Ziyun thought for a moment and said, "At first I didn't see anything, but later on, strange phenomena appeared in the heavens and the earth, and then there were strange sights everywhere."

"A group of strange beasts with grass on their heads were leaping between the floating peaks."

"There were flames flowing in the water, and there were fruit trees that looked like babies. Long Xiao and I separated because we were chasing after those strange phenomena separately."

"Baby tree?" Xia Jing asked in confusion, "What kind of strange plant is this? How come I have never heard of it? Cousin, did you get anything?"

“No.” Ji Ziyun said regretfully, “When I got closer, I felt thunder striking the mountain, and then the strange tree withered instantly, turning into a pile of yellow dead vines.”

"Brother Ji, what you saw might be the sixth-level plant 'Illusionary Demon Vine'." Zhao Xing opened his eyes and stood up. "The Illusionary Demon Vine can emit a fragrance that can cause people to have all kinds of hallucinations, usually the desires and longings in their hearts."

"Brother Ji saw the 'Ginseng Fruit Tree', which can prolong life. Perhaps Brother Ji had this illusion because he had not seen the elder for the last time."

Ji Ziyun was surprised and said, "There is such a plant? Shiyang Cave is really magical."

Zhao Xing said: "Human warriors who want to advance from the Earthly Evil Realm to the Heavenly Gang Realm must use the Nine Heavenly Gang Winds to train their bodies."

"When breaking through, strong winds raged for a hundred miles, and the blood and energy roared like a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl."

"Even when humans upgrade, the commotion is so big, let alone the upgrade of the cave heaven?"

"We're going to see all kinds of magical things, some good and some bad, and we need to be careful."

Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun nodded. Chen Shijie came over and asked, "What did you realize?"

Zhao Xing said, "I have made some progress in the Volcano Technique and have reached the sixth level. As for the Thunder Technique... why do you look a little pale?"

Chen Shi walked away expressionlessly: "I'm angry."

"???"

Zhao Xing was full of questions, not knowing what was going on with this old man.

Just when he was about to ask, he heard Long Xiao's voice shouting from behind: "Come on, everyone, there is a treasure!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xing was shocked. Chen Shijie, Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun also took off immediately and flew towards a forest.

After flying three thousand meters, they saw Long Xiao and Shanmao squatting in front of a fallen tree.

While waiting for Zhao Xing to wake up from enlightenment, Long Xiao was bored, so he took Aotian Miao for a stroll in this nameless mountain.

Before they had left the flying boat far, they saw a towering tree lying on the ground.

It was emitting a faint purple light all over its body, and even after falling down, it was still five or six meters tall and nearly a thousand meters long.

Many purple Ganoderma lucidum grew on the tree trunk, as well as many green small trees with some bright fruits on them.

"Meow~" The mountain cat saw Zhao Xing coming over and wagged its tail to ask for credit. I discovered this first!
"What kind of tree is this?" Ji Ziyun and Xia Jing looked at Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing. There were so many exotic flowers and plants, sacred trees and fairy branches in the world that they couldn't recognize them all. They had to ask professionals about this.

"It's the giant spirit tree!" "The health-preserving tree!"

Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing spoke almost at the same time. Others were confused, so Xia Jing asked, "What kind of tree is this?
Chen Shijie smiled and said, "There is no difference. I said the scientific name, and Zhao Xing said the common name. The common name of the giant spirit tree is the health-preserving tree."

Zhao Xing said: "You are more rigorous."

Long Xiaoke didn't care: "Don't say so much, I just want to ask if the small tree fruits and Ganoderma lucidum on this tree can be eaten?"

"Yes." Chen Shijie said, "The giant spirit tree itself does not bear fruit, and is not of much use when alive. It is only useful after death."

"The giant tree stood for a thousand years after its death. After it fell, it became a hotbed for exotic flowers and fruits. At this time, no matter what seeds drifted onto its trunk, they would quickly bloom and bear fruit, breaking through the shackles of growth and completing the transformation."

"Most of the ganoderma and fruit trees growing on it are edible, and taking them can prolong life, increase vitality, and strengthen qi, blood, and bones."

Long Xiao suddenly realized: "It's a tool tree."

"You're right." Zhao Xing looked around: "The sudden changes in the world have accelerated the growth of the giant tree, causing it to quickly enter its death period. There are at least two good things growing on it that can be taken."

"But there are also many poisonous ones, which take up a lot of nutrients."

"Old Chen, the effect of this giant tree has been accelerated, but there is still at least one day left. We should quickly eliminate those poisonous seeds and maximize the benefits."

"Okay." Chen Shijie immediately flew out, one person moving from the treetop and the other moving from the tree foot.

"Huh~" The two of them quickly cut off the poisonous seeds on the tree trunks, leaving only some useful plants.

The level of the giant tree is level six, but the nurturing effect of its trunk after death is far beyond Zhao Xing's use of the Moment of Origin.

Because the Giant Spirit Tree is only level six, but it can grow level six exotic flowers and plants in a very short time!

After working for an hour, the two stopped.

Waited for another two hours.

Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing harvested the ripe fruits and Ganoderma lucidum and returned to the middle of the tree trunk.

Finally, six purple Ganoderma lucidum and eighteen fruits were obtained.

Since the creatures bred by the giant tree broke the shackles of the original species, Zhao Xing didn't know what they were called.

We can only judge the general effectiveness of these things by [Five Elements Observation] and [Heavenly Eye Method].

"Meow~" The mountain cat saw the good stuff, sniffed it, and wanted to eat it, but was pulled back by Long Xiao.

"Zhao Xing, you divide it." Long Xiao said.

Before setting off, it was agreed that all benefits would be distributed by Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing would have the right of first choice.

"Brother Xia, you try the poison first." Zhao Xing picked up a purple fruit with a smile and handed it to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing practiced the gluttony method, and his resistance to poison was very high. This was also the role of a warrior among the scouts - to test poisons.

Through Xia Jing's refining process, Zhao Xing activated [Five Elements Observation] to further judge the efficacy.

"Okay, it's my turn to eat it." Xia Jing took the fist-sized fruit without hesitation and ate it all in three or five bites, leaving no core at all.

Because the skin and core of some fruits are the essence, it is hard to say.

Anyway, I have already reached the fourth level of gluttony, so I am not afraid at all.

After eating, Xia Jing's eyes lit up: "What a good thing! My energy and blood increased greatly, and a piece of golden bone transformed into my left arm."

Zhao Xing kept his eyes on Xia Jing, looking through his body and found that a bone in Xia Jing's left arm was originally of [Silver Bone] grade, but now it has transformed into light gold.

"No discomfort?"

"No."

"I'll take the second one." Zhao Xing immediately ate the fruit. He had a panel and could also sense its effect.

Of course, for this kind of unknown thing, let Xia Jing test the waters first.

[You have taken the 'Unknown Fruit' (Level 3), your energy level has increased by one level, and your life span has increased by years.]

[The bone of your right index finger has transformed from 'iron bone' to 'silver bone'. ]

Two records appeared on the panel.

"One fruit can upgrade one level and increase lifespan by three years? It can also cause bone transformation?"

The effect is unexpectedly good.

It should be noted that Zhao Xing is now in the Tiangang realm, and the improvement of his Juyuan rank is gradually slowing down.

It is several times more difficult to upgrade a Ju Yuan from the forty-third level to the forty-fourth level than from the first level to the forty-third level.

The same is true for life span. Zhao Xing’s extra life span has now increased to 160 years.

Increasing your lifespan means improving your destiny.

This kind of fruit can last for three years, which is quite strong.

The third effect is also very good. Si Nong is a wizard, and his physical constitution is not as good as that of a warrior at the same level.

For example, Xia Jing is also a sixth-grade physique, but his physique is 'half gold bones and half silver', and his blood and energy are like the sea, circulating endlessly.

Poison resistance, endurance, and recovery are much stronger than other professions.

For someone like Si Nong, if he had not received special training, normally he would have to reach the fifth rank to have the physique of a sixth rank warrior.

So Zhao Xing is now just a man of 'iron skin and bones', but Xia Jing already had such a body during the reserve training.

Why is there such a difference? Because Zhao Xing practiced the secret books such as Jieqi Ling and Hou Tu Gui Yuan.

Xia Jingxiu's secret books include "The Gluttonous Food Method", "Qinglong Body Strengthening Technique" and "Seven Souls Mixed Yuan Gong".

Although they all utilize vital energy, the methods of cultivation are different, causing different professions to go in different directions.

"It's not poisonous. Everyone take one first." Zhao Xing said. "After you eat it, let me observe the effects."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Ji Ziyun immediately took the nameless sixth-level fruit one after another.

After a while, the three of them finished taking it and looked at Zhao Xing.

"Brother Ji, the effect you have is the worst. It's probably because you have taken too many similar treasures before, and the magic you practice seems to conflict with this fruit."

"You won't have to eat the second one. In the next round, if we find treasures that suit you, we'll give you more. Is that okay?"

Ji Ziyun nodded: "Okay, since the effect of the medicine is weak, I won't waste it. I'll listen to you."

"Xia Jing, take the second one and let me see."

Xia Jing followed his instructions and ate the second fruit.

This fruit has a good effect on warriors. After Xia Jing ate the second one, he still transformed a second golden bone.

Zhao Xing had his third eye open, and he could see that Xia Jing's luck pillar had changed slightly, which meant that his destiny had also increased.

Afterwards, Zhao Xing took the second pill himself, followed by Long Xiao and Chen Shijie.

After three rounds, Xia Jing's effect weakened, so he stopped after the third pill and did not take it again.

Long Xiao and Chen Shijie ate the fourth pill. Because they didn't have a good life when they were young, their foundation was weaker than Xia Jing's. So the effect only weakened after they ate the fourth pill.

Zhao Xing also ate four pills, but the effect weakened after the fourth one. His level of Ju Yuan did not increase, and his life span only increased by 0.5 years. However, his thigh bone transformed again.

"I took exactly sixteen pills, and the effect was maximized." Zhao Xing said with a smile.

"Meow~~" Aotian Meow looked aggrieved, how could you forget me?
"Be good and let the uncles eat first. There are plenty of treasures this time." Long Xiao rubbed Aotian Miao's head.

Zhao Xing said: "Don't feel wronged. There are still some fifth-level fruits on the tree. I will pick some to fill your stomach."

Zhao Xing and his companions have high standards. During this explosion of spiritual energy in the cave, they plan to only eat the sixth-level ones. In fact, they still have a lot of fifth-level ones. This is to avoid the accumulation of any resistance or toxins in the body.

"I'll go, you divide the Ganoderma lucidum." said Chen Shijie.

"Alright."

Just as Zhao Xing was searching for treasures in full swing, a large number of flying boats and warships gathered at the entrances of Shiyang Cave.

"What? You're not allowed in?!"

"Do you know who my father is?"

A bloated man in fancy clothes shouted at the soldiers guarding the gate at the bow of the boat: "My father is Marquis Wucheng! He was conferred the title in the 325th year of the Dingxin calendar. How dare you stop me from entering a small Ten Sun Cave Heaven?!"

The fat man in fancy clothes shouted, "Open the Xuanmen, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The soldiers guarding the pass were wearing masks and their expressions could not be seen. They just pointed their sharp spears forward.

As the man in fancy clothes took a step forward, the soldiers immediately gathered their blood and energy and stabbed him mercilessly.

"What?!" Behind the man in fancy clothes, a wizard quickly pulled him back.

After retreating to a safe distance, the spear condensed by the bloody war stopped moving forward and was retracted.

"Assholes! Assholes!" The man in fancy clothes was so frightened that he fell to the ground. "You assholes, you bastards!"

"Sir, stop cursing." The mage behind him helped the dandy boy up. "They set up a formation without even explaining why they disagreed. This ban must be of a very high level. We should find out more about it first."

"I came all the way from Yangtai County, but I can't even get in the door?" The young man in fancy clothes was still furious. "Check, who gave the order?!"

With so many aristocratic families and nobles present, it was naturally easy to get the news.

Soon, the son of Marquis Wucheng found out where the ban came from.

"Sir, I have checked it out. It was King Luohou, King Lingde, and King Tianyan of the military world who jointly issued the ban."

"The nine entrances to the Shiyang Cave are all strictly guarded. Entry and exit are strictly controlled. Now many people are blocked outside." The butler next to him reported.

"What? The third king gave an order?" The prince of Wuchenghou finally came to his senses.

King Lingde is nothing, but King Luohou is very famous!

King Tianyan is even more mysterious.

Even if Wu Hou came in person, it would be difficult to say anything at this time.

"What should we do? Is there any way to get in?" The prince of Wuchenghou was anxious, as his father only had a few years left to live.

In this era, life expectancy can probably be calculated, and there is a fixed number of years one can live according to one's rank.

His father, Wucheng Hou, had lived for over five hundred years, and had only been dead for about twenty or thirty years.

The eldest son of Marquis Wucheng seems to be useless, but in fact... he is also useless.

Because his father had suffered on the battlefield and he had a son in his old age, he didn't want his son to suffer. Now, he, the prince, has only the strength of a Disha realm.

"Before the Marquis set out, he said that if we encounter any obstacles, we can go to Marquis Mingwu in Shiyang Cave to deliver a visiting card," said the butler.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me just now!" The Prince of Wucheng glared at the butler.

The housekeeper remained silent. Handing over this visiting card was not a simple matter. Marquis Wucheng paid a huge price! It was pitiful that the parents in the world were so heartbroken. This prince had no idea what his father had done. He just thought that this was a casual visit and he could get some benefits back.

But in this state, even if he goes in, can he really transform himself and support the family business as the Marquis wishes?
The butler watched the prince run to a nearby flower boat to show off and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
