Chapter 450 Ruby Spiritual Soil, the Fallen Demon King

The vast sunset waves are undulating, and the mountains and ridges stretch endlessly.

A round of sunset half-hung the distant mountains, and the red glow filled the earth, spreading like a blazing raging fire, burning and blooming, eternally bright.

As soon as Lin Shan stepped out of the black hole, he was shocked by the wonders of heaven and earth that came to him.

Stand still in the sky and look around.

The mountain peaks look majestic and majestic in the afterglow, some winding like giant dragons, some like divine turtles lying on their backs, and they are all different in different shapes and forms.

The ancient rocks have been carved by wind, frost, and turbulent water erosion, forming yellow dividing lines, which together form the magnificent and mysterious colorful Danxia.

The maple forest is as red as fire, spreading in the late autumn of October.

The setting sun is as thick as blood, radiating thousands of miles across the horizon.

A dim white moon has already hung high in advance, waiting for its turn on the eve of night.

"What place is this?"

Lin Shan was blown by the strong wind from the top of the mountain, and his robes were rustling all over his body. The white area was also dyed golden red, and his face was covered with eye-catching red light, which contrasted with the sunset in the sky. I almost thought I was about to gain enlightenment!

Turning around and looking behind him, he saw that the black hole in the starry sky had long since disappeared.

There is a fresh smell in the air, and there is also a primitive smell, which is somewhat similar to the original cliff forbidden land.

He is no longer the young boy he once was. He has experienced so many ups and downs and can immediately guess.

I was afraid that I had accidentally bumped into the Luosong Mountains.

In this world of cultivation, humans and monsters are generally in balance. This is the consensus of all forces.

It is recorded in Yunchuan Academy that wherever there are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, wherever the radius exceeds five thousand miles, which is usually said to be tens of thousands in diameter, and inaccessible places, there will be groups of monster tribes.

Not to mention the large mountain ranges like the Luosong Mountains that run through the north and south of the Song Dynasty and divide the east and west!

There are countless monsters lurking inside, and in large proportions, there are certainly no shortage of monsters. There may even be some old human monsters living in seclusion.

His trip to the natal magic weapon was over, and he was actually ready to return. However, he had inexplicably entered such a strange area, and he couldn't help but feel a haze in his heart.

For the primitive mountains, I am actually quite in awe deep down in my heart. Who knows what kind of dangers there may be hidden inside.

But let's make peace with what we have come. Now that the virtual star disk can be used again, we can always go out in one direction.

He thought about it, but still felt uneasy about the sapling of the ancient phantom tree.

The black hole transmission channel was obviously a misplaced transmission. The positions coming out one after the other were completely different, and I couldn't keep up with the ancient phantom tree.

Especially when he faintly heard someone talking, he felt even more uneasy.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for him, because he had already prepared for a rainy day, so he directly took out the summoning flag and used the summoning magical power. Even the ten thousand-year-old spirit had to be summoned back by him!

"Shua!~"

An emerald green passage appeared beside me, and the ancient phantom tree was running, plunging in without warning.

The moment he was about to hit Lin Shan, he was firmly against him.

The little sapling was flapping around with more than a dozen legs, as if it was at the critical moment of being chased and escaping. When it saw the forest behind the mountain, its eyes widened and it looked confused.

On the other side of the summoning vortex channel, several voices also came from the same time.

"Huh? What is this?"

"I don't know!"

"It looks like a teleportation channel. Should we follow it?"

"Follow, just follow, you're afraid of a bird!"

"Yes, we finally found an ancient phantom tree, which is perfect for us to follow along the road and follow it to find the red jade spiritual soil!"

"Once we can find it and bring it back, we will definitely be able to please the old man Jianjia Demon King, and maybe he will reward us with an old reed spike!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, for a being like Demon King Jianjia, even a reed ear that falls from its body in season is an incredible treasure!"

"Brother Tiancenti, rush!"

"Let's go~"

Three "bang bang bang" sounds were heard immediately from the other side. The force was not small, but the teleportation channel was not open to the opposite side, and non-summoned creatures could not get through at all.

I could hear three muffled groans over there, and it was obviously very puzzling. Why could I pass through the Phantom Ancient Tree, but I couldn't?

This is strange!

People over there began to study the transmission channel, but Lin Shan closed it without hesitation, not giving those people a chance to peep.

From the conversation just now, he seemed to have heard some key information.

Looking at the small sapling that was still struggling in his hands, it was rushing towards the distance. The eagerness and excitement overflowed on his face, and Lin Shan couldn't help but believe most of what those people said.

The red jade spiritual soil is presumably the source of excitement for the ancient phantom tree.

Maybe before I caught it, the sapling often ran there to play, so as soon as I came back, I hurriedly rushed there, hoping to run there to replenish nutrition.

After all, Lin Shan has bald it all over the years!

Something that even the Jianjia Demon King is interested in must be a great tonic for the Ten Thousand Years Spirit. It looks like this should be better than the green mud and jade soil that I found for it.

Lin Shan touched his chin and thought for a while, then let go of his hand.

The sapling of the Ancient Phantom Tree happily jumped out with its legs, seduced by its instinctive desire, and could not care about anything else.

Lin Shan followed behind. He also wanted to see where this guy was going. At the same time, he was also very interested in the red jade spiritual soil. He thought it was time to come, so he walked with the little sapling.

It’s not too late to collect the spirit soil with the child first, and then find a way to leave.

Along the way, over mountains and ridges, the sapling was kicking a dozen legs low in the sky, not taking any moonwalk, but running straight in one direction.

The purpose is very clear, and Lin Shan behind will not chase him again.

Until the sun completely set and it was getting dark in the evening, I finally found a red swamp in the tall pine forest.

It's really hard to see from the outside, and it's easy to overlook. After all, many places are covered by fallen leaves. It's the same color as the mountains and lush forests, and most people passing by will miss it.

If the ancient phantom tree hadn't come down to look for it, he wouldn't have noticed it and would have passed by in a flash.

The young sapling slowed down its pace and cautiously walked on the swamp. From time to time, it stopped and stretched out its roots to explore the swamp at its feet. After tasting it in its mouth, it continued to move forward.

After walking intermittently for another quarter of an hour, we finally came to the remains of a giant pine that had broken and rotted, with only its roots exposed.

The remains of this pine tree are so large and abstract that they should cover an area of nearly 100 meters wide and cannot be hugged by hundreds of people!

But now only the charred tree roots are left, as if they had been struck by lightning, having already destroyed all life.

Lin Shan felt solemn in his heart. This ancient pine tree was definitely a great spirit when it was alive. Unfortunately, it encountered a thunder disaster. It must have been to overcome the disaster, but because the tree itself was naturally restrained by thunder, it died.

"It's a pity, it's a shame."

He was still sighing, while the sapling walked around in a circle step by step. Especially when he saw that a lot of red mud had rotted in some places on the edge and gave off an unpleasant smell, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Then he stood up without hesitation and jumped into the deep hole in the center of the roots of the dead tree.

No sound came from inside. The sapling of the Ancient Phantom Tree couldn't speak either. It just relied on instinct and limited IQ. After discovering that the outer ring failed, it jumped inside to look for it.

Naturally, Lin Shan couldn't let it leave his sight alone, so he had no choice but to follow it.

During the descent, the outside sky was originally vague, but now it was completely dark, sinking deeper layer by layer, and a rotten and moldy smell filled the tip of the nose, which made people feel uneasy.

I couldn't see my fingers, and I didn't know how big the deep hole was.

At a certain moment, I felt that my feet could touch the ground, and then I walked forward in the dark, waiting for the saplings left and right, as if sensing something.

Lin Shan knew that they were now wandering among the roots of the ancient pine, and that the ancient phantom tree was relying on its talent to find spiritual soil that was still alive.

During this period, the two of them explored one by one and found that each root of the ancient pine stretched for an average of more than ten miles. The shorter ones were a few miles, and the longer ones were close to a hundred miles!

You can imagine how huge and powerful this ancient pine tree would have been if it were still alive.

Could it be that the thunder catastrophe this guy has overcome is a breakthrough in the Nascent Soul stage, a catastrophe of the Yuanshen?

After walking through a long root, turning around the ninety-eight-turn corridor, and arriving at the end where no one visited, the sapling finally found its first target!

It jumped over excitedly, pulling on its calves, and stayed there as if it wanted to take root on the spot.

This is the root of a dead tree. Are you serious about digging here?

Lin Shan frowned and walked forward, and found that the face of the little sapling was peaceful and quiet. He was enjoying himself with his eyes narrowed, as if he was being served by a technician on the bed in his previous life.

Um?

Is it really that cool?

He bent down, stretched out his hand to push aside a layer of soil, and grabbed a handful of dark red gravel underneath. The reinforced panel moved and appeared directly in front of his eyes.

【Ruby Soil】

Quality: Ruby Spiritual Soil

Introduction: A special soil formed by irrigating the earth with its own grass sap after the death of the plant and tree spirits in the Nascent Soul stage. It can nourish other herbal plants to grow vigorously, shorten the growth cycle, and even assist in spiritual awakening. It also has the effect of accelerating the ripening and evolution of vegetation, spirits and monsters.

Strengthening requirements: 128 points

Lin Shan polished his palms, feeling the mysterious power hidden in the friction between the handful of tiny particles, and the doubts in his heart were gradually solved.

The grade of this red jade spiritual soil is obviously one level higher than the green mud jade soil in my hand.

When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, the auxiliary effects of opening your soul and increasing your wisdom will be added.

The key is ripening and evolution!

Plants, trees, monsters, and other creatures are the same in that everyone evolves through cultivation and transforms into a higher level, and the same goes for humans.

But one thing is different about them, that is, they can be ripened!

To put it simply, if there is a treasure land like red jade spiritual soil, it can accelerate the accumulation of years of a plant spirit monster, but it will not be counted into its lifespan.

The sapling of the Ancient Phantom Tree is probably like this. It is very likely that it secretly ate a lot of red jade spiritual soil in the past, so it entered the ranks of ten thousand year old monsters early. In fact, its age is not ten thousand years at all.

In other words, in the past few decades after being caught by Lin Shan, it can be said that he has not advanced but retreated. He has been cutting branches back and forth, and he has been bleeding blood continuously for decades. Who can bear this?

None of the top ten tortures in the world are as cruel as this!

Fortunately, it was ignorant and submissive, and since it was just a tree, it didn't know how to cry out for pain or humiliation, so it was imprisoned and resigned to its fate.

Now that I'm back in a familiar place, I feel like I was riding a rocket upwards. It's so exciting and free!

It's a pity that reality has dealt a cruel blow!

Lin Shan did not hesitate, squatted down directly, facing the ruby spiritual soil below, and began to move it into his pocket. When he encountered good things, he would naturally put them in his pocket.

The sapling of the Ancient Phantom Tree was so furious that it jumped three feet high, its mouth twisted with anger!

"Sit down."

Lin Shan didn't even raise his head. While he was still moving, he told the little kid to be quiet.

The reason I work so hard as a porter is not to give you a home. The ruby spiritual soil I get will eventually have to be placed in the spirit beast ring.

The sapling of the Ancient Phantom Tree sat down and watched eagerly as he removed all the spiritual soil under his feet. In fact, it wasn't much, and he finished it in a few or two.

It rushed back to the spirit beast ring to take root, but was blocked by Lin Shan.

"Why are you anxious? Keep looking. No matter how much you find, they won't all be yours in the end. Move them all to your home and keep them for later."

As soon as these tempting words came out, the little sapling ran away without saying a word.

Lin Shan followed slowly.

This ancient pine has a well-developed root system and is intricately connected to the left and right. It forms an underground kingdom of its own. It is indeed a hard-to-find treasure.

Then I stomped around and found three more places with soil watered by spiritual blood.

When they exited one root passage again and were about to continue exploring the next one, there was sudden movement above their heads and the sound of wind blowing.

"Poof!"

Three figures also fell from above.

It's just that these uninvited guests seemed unfamiliar with this place. They stood up one by one and looked around in surprise.

"What the hell is this place?"

"Brother Tiancenti, are you sure your tracking technique is effective? Don't lead us into the pit!"

"Nonsense, I came here just by relying on my senses. You can't be wrong! The ancient phantom tree must be here!"

"What is it doing down here? Could it be that the red jade spiritual soil that Demon King Jianjia needs is here?"

"I can't tell, but it seems that the body of a grass demon king who failed to overcome the tribulation may contain the lifelong wealth left by this demon king."

"Huh???"

I don’t know which one made this guess, but it immediately woke up the other two!

Then my heart skipped a beat!

In the place where the Demon King fell, there is a high probability that the Demon King’s treasure will be left behind. This is a good thing that falls from the sky. Whoever happens upon it will not be excited!

Coincidentally, the saplings of the Ancient Phantom Tree were still running around in the passage, and they immediately attracted the attention of these three people, who immediately roared.

"Who?"

Two searchlight-like gazes suddenly lit up and shot forward, reflecting the backs of a person and a tree.

The one named ‘Tian Centi’ shouted: “Yes, that’s the Phantom Ancient Tree, my tracking sensor comes from there!”

Three figures flashed past and chased after them. All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Lin Shan turned around in shock and looked at where he came from. Can these three be found across the summoning channel?

He immediately realized that the sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree might have been traced before.

This time they met on a narrow road and were completely blocked, but he didn't even know who the other party was.
