Ascension Through Generations

An hour passed quickly, and the thick fog showed no sign of dissipating.

At this time, Zhao Sheng suddenly had a frightening thought. He seemed to be involved in the "Treasure Land of Death".

At that time, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The sunny side and the shady side of Tianzhu Mountain are two completely different worlds.

Tianzhu Mountain is too high and too big, and the sun cannot reach its shady side. As a result, the shady side of Tianzhu Mountain is hidden in thick fog all year round. The brightness is extremely low during the day. It is difficult to see the scenery several feet away at noon, and it is even more difficult to see at night.

For this reason, there are large areas of unexplored "wild territory" on the shady side of Tianzhu Mountain. This is a paradise for elixirs, spiritual plants, monsters and beasts, and is also the burial place for thousands of herb collectors. .

It is unknown, mysterious, and extremely dangerous, but it contains countless natural and earthly treasures.

"The Treasure Land of Death" is the joking name given to the shady side of Tianzhu Mountain by countless herbal collectors, which fully expresses the complex emotions of love and fear for it.

The boundary where Zhao Sheng is located is undoubtedly an unknown corner on the shady side of Tianzhu Mountain.

After getting out of danger, Zhao Sheng unknowingly climbed another several hundred feet of the mountain wall. During this process, there were many difficulties and dangers, not to mention the poisonous beasts. As the mountain got higher and higher, the air became thinner and the temperature also increased. The descent is extremely fast. Ice is everywhere on the mountain wall and the surface is slippery. If your hands slip, you will fall into the sea of ​​clouds, and you will not be able to control your life or death.

He finally found a gap to rest and take a breather.

The cold here is biting, and it feels a bit like winter.

But for Zhao Sheng, the most difficult thing is not the temperature, but the fear.

The most useful senses of human beings are the eyes and ears, and most of the external information is collected by them.

The thick fog "sealed" Zhao Sheng's eyes and ears, and the world became extremely "deadly silent." From a little further away, nothing could be heard or seen clearly.

Without the sense of sight and hearing, and knowing that they are in an extremely dangerous place, most people will instinctively feel fear, and Zhao Sheng is no exception.

He knew more clearly that the night here was far more lively than the day, and the number of ferocious beasts swimming in the sea of ​​clouds was at least 50% more than on the sunny side. There are even some behemoths, wandering in the higher and deeper sea of ​​clouds, releasing a little pressure, which can make him, a mortal, hold his breath.

In fact, Zhao Sheng had already consciously entered the fetal breath state, and his spiritual nose power was working at full strength, always smelling danger in the mist.

Because the dark side world is more dangerous, bloodier, and more elusive. The ferocious beasts here are always wandering around, seemingly searching for something, which leads to frequent conflicts.

In just two hours, four or five extremely brutal fights took place, each ending in the tragic death of one party or even both parties. The bloody smell filled the air, mixed into the clouds, and became part of the unique ecology here.

Only then did Zhao Sheng understand why this place was called the "Treasure Land of Death". Without the unique spiritual consciousness of foundation-building monks, it would be difficult to survive even if Qi Refining Dzogchen entered this place. Ordinary herb collectors can't even survive a day here.

But soon, this dense foggy world showed Zhao Sheng the meaning of the treasure land.

After half a day, he climbed up a slope recessed into the mountain wall.

The slope is extremely steep at the bottom, but slightly gentle at the top. It is recessed along the mountain wall by about tens of feet. The vegetation on the slope is dense, which is very abnormal. This place is usually hidden under thick fog and does not see sunlight. Except for some bryophytes, it should be difficult for plants to survive.

But when he thought that this was Tianzhu Mountain, Zhao Sheng was immediately relieved.

As soon as he stepped onto the slope, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sneeze.

The medicinal smell in the mist is too strong, like hundreds of elixirs growing together, with more than a dozen different aromas mixed together, making people unable to help but get hooked upon smelling it.

The most intense flavor among them is undoubtedly the purple qizhi flavor.

That must be Zi Qizhi.

Zhao Sheng would definitely hear it wrong, although he couldn't understand why Ziqizhi could grow in a place without sunlight.

But he believed in his nose and his decades of experience in collecting herbs.

At that moment, Zhao Sheng became energetic and cautiously began his exploration journey.

The more unfamiliar the place, the more careful you need to be, especially the "wild" areas that no one has set foot on for millions of years.

Fortunately, there are no large creatures on this slope, only some small poisonous insects such as ghost centipedes and turtles.

Facts have proved that Zhao Sheng's nose is more sensitive than a dog, and this is indeed a rare treasure garden of elixirs in Tianzhu Mountain.

As far as the eye can see, there are blood sword grass, strange spirit branches, dragon-weary fruits, heartless flowers, golden essence seeds... One after another, valuable elixirs are growing wantonly under trees, grass, and in the cracks of stones, and each one is huge in size. Strong and strong, the medicine has a very long life.

Of course, the most common ones are low-grade purple sesame that are white and tender or indigo.

Huh,

Zhao Sheng suddenly let out a cry of surprise, his expression ecstatic.

To his right, on a dead tree root two feet away, there was a strange Ganoderma lucidum as big as a basin and as red as fire.

Red fire mushroom? !

Zhao Sheng rushed over and touched the Zhizhi cover with his hand. The unique burning sensation of the red fire Zhizhi made him realize that he was really lucky.

This is really a red fire mushroom that can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.

Seeing the dense circles of medicinal lines on the surface of Ganoderma lucidum, Zhao Sheng's rock-steady hands started to tremble slightly.

After careful counting, there are a total of 830 circles of medicinal lines, which means that the medicinal age of this Red Fire Seed Seed is more than 800 years old, which is enough to be exchanged for a high-grade Foundation-Building Pill.

There are high-grade and low-grade elixirs. Taking a high-grade foundation-building pill will give a cultivator a success rate of more than 30%, while a low-grade foundation-building pill will have a success rate of less than 10%.

30% foundation building success rate!

One can imagine how popular high-grade foundation-building pills are in the world of immortal cultivation.

Stable!

The Zhao family's decision to become an immortal cultivating family is settled!

This was the first thought that came to Zhao Sheng's mind.

He never imagined that he would have the opportunity to exceed the goals he set in life.

With this red fire sesame, Zhao Cheng was already halfway through the gate of foundation building.

Of course, he must first cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Thinking of Lao Ba's usual behavior, Zhao Sheng wished he could fly back immediately and slap him twice.

If you practice martial arts, wouldn’t it be great to cultivate immortality?

It was just that I was beaten and scolded! This damn kid still doesn't get enough food and salt.

Zhao Sheng suddenly thought of Han Xuanwu. Could it be that the reason why he fell in love with Lao Ba was because he and Lao Ba had similar personalities?

Sometimes too much happiness can become trouble!

There are a lot of elixirs growing on this slope, and most of them are very old. Those that are more than a hundred years old can be seen everywhere, and three plants that are more than a thousand years old have been found.

One of them is the Thousand-Year Blood Sword Grass, which is a natural wooden magic weapon. After a little refinement, it can become a good spiritual weapon flying sword.

There is also a nine-section ink jade tree with a temperature of 1,200 years, and a thousand-year-old gold essence seed.

It is worth mentioning that he discovered another red fire mushroom, but it was only 680 years old.

Zhao Sheng has no regrets about not discovering the Millennium Purple Qizhi.

In fact, no one has ever found Ziqizhi on the dark side of Tianzhu Mountain.

This is because the Ziqi Zhi, which has lasted for more than a thousand years, has developed spirituality and has the inherent characteristics of "turning into mist when encountering clouds, escaping when encountering earth, and melting when encountering wood".
