Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

More than a hundred people from the dung-picking team stayed, and they all looked at Henry Zhang excitedly.

"Fortunately, I signed up. This time is a chance and an opportunity." Everyone in the dung-picking team was secretly grateful.

Henry Zhang looked at the people left behind. The young ones were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones were thirty or forty years old.

Most of them are at the first level of Qi Refining, and only seven or eight people are at the second level.

He was familiar with many of the young people here. They used to collect dung together when they were in Temple Street.

"Temple Master, let's go to the edge of the Black Forest to pick up dung. It will take seven or eight days to go back and forth. I'm afraid it's not cost-effective." Zhang Dawu was familiar with Zhang Xuan and was the first to raise the doubts that were weighing in his heart.

"Who said we have to go to the edge of the forest to pick up dung?"

"Could it be that the main temple is going to the depths of the Black Forest, where there are late-stage or even second-order monsters?" A person stood up and said.

"What? Are you scared?" Henry Zhang asked with a calm expression.

"That...that's not the case."

“And we’re not walking there either.” Henry Zhang continued.

"If you don't walk there, how can you get there?"

"Rent a flying boat."

"It costs at least 50 spirit stones to rent a flying boat at a time, which costs even more." Zhang Dawu scratched the back of his head. He could not understand the temple owner's operations more and more now.

"The place we are going to is extremely far. If we walk there, it will take at least more than a month."

"Ah..." Everyone was shocked.

It takes more than a month to get there, so how far is it?

Almost already deep in the Black Forest.

"As far as I know, except for the Qingyun Sect's caravan that shuttles through the depths of the Black Domain Forest, not many people dare to go so far." A second-level Qi Refiner said.

"Yes, I can only say that what we did this time is extremely dangerous. Those who want to quit now can quit." Henry Zhang said with a solemn expression.

Several people hesitated for a while and chose to leave.

They originally wanted to live a stable life with Henry Zhang, but they didn't expect to venture deep into the Black Forest.

Even if the opportunity is great, I am not willing to take such a big risk.

Everyone was born as a spiritual farmer, so naturally most of them wanted stability.

After a group of people left, there were only seventy or eighty people left in the dung-picking team.

"Okay, let me tell you the purpose of this trip. We are going to the Misty Blackpool to obtain the Blackpool Mud."

As soon as Henry Zhang's words hit the ground, they exploded in the crowd again.

"Blackpool Mud? Can't we buy slag? Why do we have to travel a long distance to get Blackpool Mud?"

"Last time, more than 90% of the descendants of Temple Street perished just because of the beasts in the fog barrier. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if we went directly to the foggy black swamp?"

…

Henry Zhang went to Mysterious Blackpool mainly because he wanted to obtain the beast-marked bones.

He already knows the wonderful uses of Dao Tu.

It must be opened with animal pattern bones.

The barrier beasts in the Mysterious Blackpool are the main way to obtain beast-marked bones.

Therefore, it is imperative for him to confuse Kurosawa.

"This trip to Blackpool is indeed dangerous. If you want to quit, you can quit now." Henry Zhang glanced at everyone.

A few more people left.

Only forty people were left in the same place.

At this time, Zhang Dawu said resolutely: "Temple Master, we are all willing to put our lives and property in your hands, just tell us when to set off."

Henry Zhang looked at these people, all of them were at the first level of Qi refining.

"We'll leave tomorrow, and now I'll hand out some supplies."

Henry Zhang waved his hand, and a bunch of things came out of the storage bag.

"Each person is distributed 5 kilograms of first-order mid-grade spiritual grain, 2 kilograms of monster meat, 5 first-order mid-grade talismans, and 20 first-order low-grade talismans."

When everyone heard about the supplies distributed by Henry Zhang, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Did everyone distribute so much together, or just one person?" Zhang Dawu thought he heard wrong and wanted to make sure again.

"It's everyone, but everyone must keep it confidential." Henry Zhang emphasized again.

"Temple Master, don't worry. From now on everyone will be looking after you. Finally, you have a job and it will be kept strictly confidential."

Everyone received the supplies one by one.

Unexpectedly, the temple owner took out so many things at once and distributed them to everyone.

A first-level mid-grade spiritual valley was something I couldn’t even imagine before.

The temple owner suddenly gained 5 pounds.

The value of monster meat is slightly higher than the first-level mid-grade spiritual grain, 2 pounds per person.

This treatment is too generous.

The most precious ones are these talismans.

A mid-level first-level talisman can resist mid-level first-level monsters.

With this talisman, there is no problem at least escaping for your life when encountering a mid-level first-order monster.

Everyone’s faces were filled with joy and they expressed their gratitude to Henry Zhang.

At this time, although Henry Zhang looked calm, he was still experiencing bouts of physical pain.

However, these investments are necessary.

Everything is to obtain the animal pattern bone and open the Tao map.

Moreover, he is currently on the second level of body refining, and ordinary monster meat has negligible benefits for him, so he can only eat body refining monster meat.

That's why I took out all the ordinary monster meat obtained in the secret realm and divided it among everyone, leaving only the body-refined monster meat.

As for these talismans, although they are precious, they are of little significance to a monk like him who is on the second level of body refining and has two puppets to protect his body.

He had too many first-level mid-grade spiritual grains in his hand, leaving only a small part and giving out the rest to everyone.

Of course, he also wanted to exchange all these things for spiritual stones.

However, even Baipinge was unwilling to "sell the stolen goods" for him, and he was helpless.

If the elders of the clan found out that he had so many things on him, it would probably not end well.

He simply distributed them directly to the dung-collecting team to enhance their strength.

Everyone was from Temple Street, so they could be trusted to keep secrets.

As for the fifty or sixty magic tools he obtained in the Fairy Cat Secret Realm, he didn't dare to take them out and share them with everyone.

Each of these magic tools had a source.

If the strong branches of the Zhang family knew that the magic tools of the elite children who fell in the Fairy Cat Cave Secret Realm were in his hands, he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.

Next, he went to a flying boat rental shop in the inner ring.

After bargaining, the shop owner finally agreed to a price of 80 spirit stones to send them to a place 5,000 miles deep into the Black Domain Forest.

He had the map of the Black Barrier Lake given by Wei Ruyan.

The place where the flying boat stopped was only a few hundred miles away from the Black Barrier Lake.

He wanted the flying boat to send them directly to the Black Barrier Lake.

But the flying boat owner said that this was the deepest part of the Black Domain Forest that their flying boat could enter.

It would be too dangerous to go further. I'm afraid no boat master would be willing to transport them no matter how much money they are offered.

The next day, the members of the dung-collecting team gathered together, all of them were heroic and eager to fight.

They had left enough cultivation resources for their families.

Even if they died outside this time, they would say "it's enough".

When they saw a huge flying boat parked in front of them.

The whole Temple Street came to see them off.

Dozens of people boarded the flying boat under the gaze of everyone.

"Let's go."

Zhang Xuan gave an order, and the boat master drove the flying boat away.

This was the first time for most people to ride a flying boat.

"It's so fast!"

"Faster than the wind!"

"The flying of the foundation-building ancestor is just like this!"

Everyone looked down and felt that everything was new.

"Look, look, we're in our Temple Street." One person exclaimed.

Everyone, including Zhang Xuan, looked down.

After the relocation of Temple Street, the houses had been demolished.

The entire Temple Street and the surrounding area were encircled by a magic circle.

"Why did the family use a magic circle to encircle this area?" One person was puzzled.

"Who knows? Maybe they are afraid of the invasion of monsters or barrier beasts."

Looking at the magic circle below, Zhang Xuan was also confused.

This is a first-level high-quality magic circle, which is very valuable, and it consumes a lot of spirit stones to operate.

How could the family invest so much in this wasteland?

Zhang Xuan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After all, some things are not what they, the bottom ants, should care about.
