Chapter 36: Firestick
Huanling Mountain is beautiful, with solitary peaks standing tall, lush trees, green bamboos and steep mountain walls.
The morning mist is as fine as silver silk, covering the heaven and earth like a gauze. A curve of green water is like a green jade belt running around the forest, and the distant mountains are invisible.
On the top of Huanling Mountain, there is a pagoda-like palace. The building has flying eaves and towers high into the sky. Under the dim light of the early sun, it seems to reflect the brilliance like glass crystal, which is ethereal and unreal.
Zhang Zheng stood in front of the glazed pagoda, looking up at the five-story eaves. The corners of the eaves were like sparrows spreading their wings, flying high and far away.
This is the Treasure Pavilion...
The most precious existence of Wanxuan Sect possesses rare and rare treasures that are hard to find in the world. Even the powerful Nascent Soul are fascinated by and coveted by them.
Only then did Zhang Zheng realize how big a reward Wanxuanmen had given her.
Perhaps this reward is far less valuable than the Fire Summoning Seal, but if the Fire Summoning Seal falls on her hand, it will only cause a violent storm. Although this reward is heavy, it is far from the level that will bring her a bloody storm.
Comparing the two, the slightly inferior reward in front of her was more popular with her.
The Treasure Pavilion is unguarded, and is replaced by an invisible and ferocious restriction that kills people. If someone breaks in without a token, the moment the restriction is touched, it will turn into nothingness and disappear into ashes.
Zhang Zheng carefully attached the token to the ban. The next moment, the token turned into fly ash, and the ban opened a tunnel that only allowed one person to pass through.
With excitement in mind, Zhang Zheng solemnly and respectfully stepped into the Zhenqi Pavilion.
It is as if a child has entered the mysterious world of cultivation for the first time, and the unknown and magnificent world is right in front of her eyes. The ignorant child is in a surging mood, trying to reach out to touch the wonder, but her little hand she extends is trembling with excitement.
The dizziness disappeared, and Zhang Zheng was already in a vast white mist, with purple and white stars appearing and disappearing, as if he was in a mysterious starry sky.
Taking a step forward, the starlight instantly turned into a dazzling shadow, flying rapidly behind.
so……
Where is the treasure?
After recovering from the mysterious charm, doubts occupied my mind.
Could it be these looming stars?
Zhang Zheng mobilized his movements and took several leaps, trying to catch the starlight.
"Whoosh..."
For a time, in the vast galaxy, countless meteors and fire showers passed by in one stroke. The stars were spinning upside down, and the light was so bright that it was so dazzling and eye-catching.
For a long time, Zhang Zheng was out of breath and almost dead from exhaustion.
Taking a deep breath to calm down her mood, she stared at the stars in front of her with broken eyes. They seemed to be close in front of her eyes, but in fact they were far away in the horizon.
Could this rare pavilion be teasing her?
How about choosing the treasures you promised?
It was as if a treasure mountain had fallen in front of her eyes, within reach, but no matter how much she jumped, she couldn't touch it.
It can only be viewed from a distance, not toyed with.
However, after a moment of frustration, Zhang Zheng regained his fighting spirit.
Now that you have entered the Treasure Pavilion and the treasure is right in front of you, there is no reason to give up easily.
She didn't believe it anymore. She had lost the Fire Summoning Seal, Nirvana and other treasures that were difficult to find in the world. Now she couldn't find even one treasure.
Thinking like this, Zhang Zheng closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated rapidly. Under the guidance of his spiritual consciousness, it turned into a prison net lurking around him.
With lightning speed, the prison net rushed out and shot straight towards the starlight.
The prison network is faster, and the starlight is faster.
The faster the stars shine, the faster the prison net becomes, and the wider it becomes, making it airtight.
The spiritual energy is consumed rapidly, and the spiritual whirlpool circulates more and more intensely, seeming to drain out all the stored spiritual energy in one fell swoop.
Zhang Zheng had been completely distracted by the rapidly escaping starlight in front of her. Her spiritual energy was exhausted, so she ignored the stinging pain and turned to activate the vortex of vitality of her seven orifices without hesitation.
The seven orifices of the small whirlpool are extinguishing and extinguishing, one at a time, and the milky white vitality is slowly sucked out of the whirlpool.
The moment the energy of life overflowed from his body, Zhang Zheng felt that the air suddenly became stagnant, and all the twinkling stars disappeared, as if he had fallen into a dark and boundless ink pool, with nothing in it.
An inexplicable thought guided Zhang Zheng to draw the energy of life out of the body, continuously exploring the outside world, and overflowing into the boundless darkness.
The milky white vitality gradually blooms in the ink pool, just like white flowers blooming one after another, pure and beautiful.
His eyes fell on the edge of darkness. I don't know how long it had passed, but Zhang Zheng felt that the vitality in his body was almost drying up.
At the far edge, a purple-gold starlight dragged a long flame tail and galloped towards Zhang Zheng.
Driven by the mysterious force, Zhang Zheng raised her hands and slowly stretched them out in the direction where the starlight was coming.
"Bang——"
Stars bursting into pieces fell silently and rapidly, annihilating themselves in the darkness.
Zhang Zheng turned his gaze to the starlight he held in his hand. The light had dissipated, revealing the essence of the strange object.
A black wooden stick with thick arms!!!
This strange thing... is really jaw-dropping and impressive!
Maybe it's just ugly on the outside, or maybe it's domineering on the inside?
Thinking like this, Zhang Zheng hit and beat with the wooden stick, and even used it as a staff...
An hour later, Zhang Zheng, who was in high spirits, finally died down, feeling as if she was dead.
The broken wood has a dark appearance and rough bark, and is very similar to the fire sticks used for cooking.
No matter how you look at it, this stick seems to be just an ordinary stick.
Zhang Zheng shook the fire stick unwillingly. She was sure that this stick was anything but ordinary.
How can the treasure that can be stored in the Treasure Pavilion be a broken stick?
Of course, there is another reason why she is so convinced, which is that she is a dignified monk in the late stage of Qi training. Although she is not said to be able to lift mountains, she can definitely carry a cauldron.
But even if she tried her best to break it off, burn it with fire, soak it in water, and chop it with a knife...
No matter how the wind blows from east to west, from north to south, this stick will remain firm and motionless.
But if you have a treasure in your hand and you can't master the secrets or use it, how is it any different from burning a fire stick!
At least the fire stick can make a fire! This broken stick can't even light a fire!
Dots of starlight reappeared after she got the wooden stick, restoring the mysterious and mysterious scenery of the universe and galaxies.
Zhang Zheng was disheartened. After putting the fire stick into the storage bag, he left the Zhenqi Pavilion with a sudden thought.
…
Outside the Zhenqi Pavilion, the forbidden water patterns rippled, and the next moment, a beautiful woman with soft jade and delicate flowers slowly stepped out from the forbidden area.
The woman's body is surrounded by aura, which is solid and pure. She is a foundation-building monk. Judging from her aura, the spiritual platform she built is by no means ordinary.
Tan Ying lightly dusted the fluttering hem of her skirt, and a satisfied smile appeared on her soft face.
But she underestimated the Wanxuanmen Treasure Pavilion. There were still some good things in it.
The bright red tongue lightly licked her thin lips, and Tan Ying squinted her eyes with contentment, like a fox enjoying after a full meal. Her expression was charming and charming, but also made people feel scared for no reason.
Looking back at Zhenqi Pavilion, she turned around and left down the mountain, her eyes full of aftertaste.
I really want to hurry up...
After Tan Ying left, the Zhenqi Pavilion was quiet for only a moment. There was a sudden sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, startling a flock of birds, and destroying the quiet fairyland beauty.
Undoubtedly, the culprit who disturbed the tranquility was Zhang Zheng who came out of Zhenqi Pavilion.
She climbed up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her dress, spat out the weeds she accidentally ate, and felt quite complicated.
Just let her get a useless fire stick, and the way it came out was so embarrassing, he actually threw her out directly.
She gouged out Zhenqi Pavilion harshly. She was stingy, narrow-minded... and worthy of being despised.
…
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Zhang Zheng went directly to the mission hall, preparing to take on a mission to earn some spiritual stones and merit points to enter the library pavilion.
Unfortunately, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
There are two types of tasks in the mission hall, with respective corresponding cultivation requirements.
A type of low-level tasks, mainly used for the trials of monks in the Qi Refining Stage, with extremely low rewards, not even half of the rewards for the same tasks in the outer sect;
Another type of high-level mission, which can be accepted by monks of foundation building and above, has rich rewards, but the corresponding risk factor is also extremely high.
Zhang Zheng glanced at the one or two points of merit behind the low-level tasks, and the meager reward of a dozen spirit stones. It would take hundreds of them to barely make up the entry fee for the library!
Zhang Zheng naturally cannot waste time on these meaningless and tedious tasks. If he has that time, he might as well practice and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible.
