Chapter Thirty-Six: Disputes Between Chu, Zhao, and Qin
[69 Book Bar - www.] Lanyue City is located at the border between Gunzhou and Shiwanda Mountain. Although it is close to the "treasure basin" of Shiwanda Mountain, there are no special products or large veins of spiritual materials, so there are no
What big force is willing to move in? As a result, the level of cultivation in Lanyue City is very backward. Even the three major forces that control it, Chu, Zhao, and Qin, do not have many Yuanying stage monks. And even these Yuanying-stage monks
Infant monks are often old people who will never make breakthroughs in their lifetime. You must know that for those sects in the earthly immortal world, ordinary Yuanying monks are just qualified to be included in the inner sect.
That’s all.
Among the three families of Chu, Zhao, and Qin, the Chu family has two Nascent Soul stage monks, so it is the strongest. The Zhao and Qin families each have one Nascent Soul stage monk, and because the two families are similar in strength, no one can do anything.
Who, so when facing the Chu family, the two families often unite to fight against each other.
There is an old saying that goes well, you rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. But for the three families of Chu, Zhao, and Qin, this statement is obviously very nonsense, because they rely on hundreds of thousands of mountains filled with high-level demon clans.
For the three families of Chu, Zhao, and Qin, although there is no threat outside the Shiwanda Mountain, there are too few resources to supply cultivation. And the central area is too dangerous, and even the three Yuanying-stage monks united do not dare to enter it easily.
Under such circumstances, the three families generally rarely enter the central part of the Shiwan Mountain. They only rely on generations of tribesmen to search the outer areas for many years, and rely on sporadic resources to practice and reproduce. However, over the years, these three families have accumulated
They have made a lot of money, and they have also found some "good things" through their own explorations.
The Chu family found a small vein of refined iron and could obtain a small amount of refined iron every year. It was by relying on this, which to the Earthly Immortal World was just the lowest-grade weapon refining material, that they traded with Duobao Xuan in exchange for improving their cultivation.
of elixirs, the Chu family only has two Nascent Soul stage monks.
The Zhao family and the Qin family jointly discovered a tea tree that could produce a small amount of the best Dahongpao tea.
Dahongpao is actually a tea tree that does not contain spiritual energy and can only produce ordinary tea leaves. However, the tea tree found by the Zhao and Qin families does not know why. Although the yield is not high, it contains a certain amount of spiritual energy. Taking this tea for a long time
Tea is also of great benefit to cultivation. With this patch of tea trees, although the two families cannot surpass the Chu family, the combined strength of the two families is not inferior to that of the Chu family.
Originally, these three families were two opposing groups, and although they often had frictions when each had their own support, they would not lead to life-and-death conflicts.
But life is so helpless, and unexpected events often happen when you are unprepared.
It is said that this day happened to be the day when the top-quality Dahongpao could be picked. According to the usual practice, an elder from each of the Zhao and Qin families went to pick it at a secret location. The two set out from the gathering and hurried to the middle level of Shiwanda Mountain with
The destinations in the outer buffer area are all smooth sailing.
But as soon as they entered the formation used to protect the tea garden, the two of them were dumbfounded when they saw the situation inside. They could only see the tea trees and some ordinary plants that had not been cleared away, and they were all as green as dry firewood.
, the entire tea garden has no trace of life, it just looks like a firewood garden.
Ouch! That’s not bad!
As the elders of the two families, they naturally understand the significance of this tea garden to the family. It is not only the capital for the two families to thrive and grow, but also the basis for the two families to continue to challenge the Chu family. Seeing the appearance of the tea garden, the two young people
After half a hundred years, the figure who was like a god in the eyes of mortals collapsed on the ground and burst into tears without any image. This cry was filled with grief, heartbreaking, and unadulterated.
However, the two of them were monks after all. Although their cultivation levels were not high and they were only at the Golden Core stage, their character was far from ordinary people. After crying loudly to vent their anger, the two of them quickly calmed down. After that, the two of them began to act separately. Zhao
The elders of the Qin family are responsible for going back and informing the two families about the situation here, and asking the two families to come to find out the situation. The elders of the Qin family are responsible for guarding the place to ensure that there will be no more accidents in the next period of time.
further destroying the tea plantations.
In fact, logically speaking, there is no need for the elders of the Qin family to stay, because with the protection of the formation, the tea garden cannot be found outside the tea garden. Although this formation is relatively low-level, due to the hidden terrain, the tea garden is owned by two families.
In the hundreds of years since then, there has never been any unexpected situation at all. Moreover, the formation was still there when the two came, so it also shows that the changes in the tea garden can only be caused by problems with the tea garden itself, ruling out the possibility that the tea garden was damaged by external forces.
possible.
But at this time, the two of them were already frightened. They dared to take any risks. They only hoped to do their best to protect the scene, hoping to find a way to save the tea garden after the large forces arrived. At the very least, they also needed to find clues about the changes in the tea garden.
Keep it.
But this accident is an accident, and it is always so unexpected. For the elder Qin to stay like this, it has left a blessing for him.
Hiding in the formation, the Qin family elders were not only sad but also confused about the changes in the tea garden. I thought back to the time when the two families discovered this tea garden and saw that the Dahongpao, which was originally an ordinary product, miraculously was able to brew.
In order to protect this area of tea trees, the two families considered arranging clan members to guard the place and take care of the tea trees from time to time. However, the strength of the two families was limited.
It was impossible to send any decent disciples. Furthermore, if they sent people over, the news would be leaked and the location of the tea garden would be exposed. Secondly, the tea trees in this area were originally just ordinary tea trees, so the two families tried their best at that time.
I can't find the reason for its mutation. In this way, sending someone to take care of it may be counterproductive. Then the tea leaves that are originally rich in spiritual energy may become ordinary again after being taken care of. Wouldn't that be true?
Big joke.
After all kinds of considerations, the two families finally decided not to send anyone to look after and protect this place. They just used the first batch of top-grade red robes they obtained to exchange for a protective formation from Duobao Xuan. Then they just let it go and did nothing.
This tea garden was self-sufficient, and people were only sent here every time when the tea leaves were ready to be picked. At first, the two families had some speculations about this decision, but in the next few hundred years, nothing unexpected happened. This tea plantation
It has been growing well here. The output of the top-quality Dahongpao has also been very stable, once every three years, and each time it is about three or four pounds.
Why did all the tea gardens that were picked well last time suddenly wither and die this year? The elders of the Qin family fell into this myth and could no longer extricate themselves for a while.
Suddenly, a very special fragrance came from the garden full of withered tea trees. How special? The fragrance itself was very ordinary, just like ordinary grass. But as soon as he smelled this fragrance, Elder Qin
I feel that the true energy in my body is running much faster.
This is amazing. You must know that due to the innate qualifications of cultivators and the limitations of acquired skills, the speed of the true energy in the body is generally relatively fixed. Normally it is one speed, and when meditating and practicing, it is another speed.
Speed. If the speed is accelerated, it also means that the speed at which the technique condenses true energy and absorbs spiritual energy is also accelerated.
In other words, smelling the aroma can help speed up cultivation.
For a time, the elders of the Qin family could no longer care about much. When such a fragrance came, it clearly meant that there was a magic medicine in this tea garden. Although I didn’t know what kind of medicine it was, at least it could speed up cultivation.
. Now that there is no one around here, this is my opportunity. As long as I can get the elixir before the large army arrives, I can hide it from the enemy. By then, relying on this elixir, I might be able to do it.
There is a possibility of being promoted to the next level. In that case, it will not be difficult to fight for family status or to protect oneself in this crisis of losing one's foundation.
Thinking like this, he immediately took action and began to follow the aroma to its source. Since the tea garden was not big, only about ten acres of land, Elder Qin quickly found the source of the aroma.
.Looking at the mature elixir in front of him, he almost went crazy with joy.
"The Fruit of Jin" can also be called the "Forbidden Fruit".
He is really familiar with this spiritual medicine. He knows clearly that his Yuan Ying ancestor relied on it to advance. This spiritual fruit has an extremely miraculous effect, that is, before the stage of transformation, regardless of the
Practitioners of any level can advance to a higher level without disaster or calamity as long as they take it. Remember, it is without disaster or calamity! In other words, if you take it to advance to Jindan or Nascent Soul,
They all don’t have to go through a catastrophe.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. If it is used to advance, the user's cultivation will never be able to go further. This is also the reason why it is nicknamed "forbidden", so in some families or forces with a little bit of foundation,
Here, it is absolutely prohibited to use it to advance.
However, this disadvantage is completely indifferent to Elder Qin. Because he knows very well that with his own qualifications, if he practices normally, he will never be able to advance to the next level in his life. Speaking of taking 10,000 steps back, even if he
If you can advance to the next level, you will not be able to face the calamity that follows. Therefore, this "fruit of advancement" is your only hope.
Carefully putting away the "Fruit of Jin", Elder Qin began to have endless daydreams. Thinking that things that he could only fantasize about at ordinary times would be realized one by one in the near future, he felt that the world was so beautiful and the opportunities in life were great.
It's so incredible.
But within a quarter of an hour, he could no longer continue his reverie. He began to become extremely irritable, always feeling that the "Fruit of Jin" would be discovered, and he felt uneasy no matter where it was hidden. In fact, he felt that the "Fruit of Jin" would be discovered.
He is absolutely clear that this "Fruit of Jin" is now hidden in his storage bag, and the traces left by the growth of the fruit have been carefully erased by himself, so that others cannot find it. But people are like this sometimes, and for
No matter how well you hide your extremely important things, you will feel uneasy. You will feel that no matter how well you hide them, they will be discovered.
Feeling restless, Elder Qin made an extremely bachelor decision, which was to take the "Jin Fruit" immediately. In his mind, since he was worried about it, he might as well just eat it now. This way
On the other hand, even if a large force arrives, the rice is already done and nothing can be changed. Even if the Zhao family has any opinions or is angry and wants to go against themselves, I think the ancestors from my family will stand on their side.
What's more, the destruction of the tea garden is irreversible. Adding a Nascent Soul monk will also be a happy event for the next crisis.
Several hours later, when the two Yuan Ying ancestors finally led a large force to arrive here, they were shocked to see the scene inside the formation. The two Yuan Ying ancestors briefly inspected the tea garden, and then combined with Elder Qin
In the current state, I immediately understood the whole story. It was also clear that the reason why this tea garden can make Dahongpao, a mortal product, rich in spiritual energy and make people improve their cultivation after drinking it, is because there is a "Jin's Fruit" in it.
existence. When it gathers spiritual energy and grows, this ordinary tea tree is also contaminated with spiritual energy. But now that it has reached the mature stage, it will violently absorb spiritual energy at once and use it to condense fruits. Therefore, the surrounding tea trees
These plants with spiritual energy have naturally become its nutrients.
As expected by Elder Qin, the ancestor of the Zhao family immediately became furious and wanted to kill him on the spot. At this time, the head of the Zhao family and the ancestor of the Qin family quickly stopped him.
Next, naturally, the two families began to plan how to eliminate the Chu family. Because the two families had no way out, and without resources, they could not compete with the Chu family. If they did not take advantage of the fact that there was now one more Yuanying monk than the Chu family, they would temporarily
