Emperor of Nine Suns

At that moment, Chu Chen seemed to go back to the time when he entered the depths of the "One Hundred Thousand Mountains" in southern Xinjiang to obtain the "Purple Gold Blood Ginseng". The primeval dense forest deep in Southern Xinjiang is as tall and majestic as this forest, but I didn't expect that besides Southern Xinjiang, there are such ancient and vast forests in this world.

Under these towering ancient giant trees, a famous medicine palace student held various spiritual shovels in his hand and carefully explored around.

Strictly speaking, "Quan Soul" is actually a special kind of "Earth Spiritual Vein".

Some spiritual veins where the spiritual veins of the earth gather, twist, and intersect will automatically form a "spiritual eye" similar to a spring because they absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and moon from the entire world for tens of millions of years.

The origin of this tangible and intangible "spiritual eye" accumulated over many years is the "spring soul".

Therefore, when collecting spring soul, you cannot directly use shovels, spades and other tools to dig. You must use a special "spiritual shovel" to collect it completely without damaging the spirituality of the spring soul.

Therefore, it can be said that all Medicine Palace disciples who enter the "Lingquan Forest" must prepare a "Spiritual Shovel".

"I didn't expect... this Lingquan Forest would be so lively!"

Looking at the busy scene of people coming and going in front of her, Tang Rou sighed slightly. Only monks who have reached the peak of the Xuquan realm and are about to enter the Lingquan realm have the opportunity to enter the secret realm of the Lingquan Forest. .

Just looking at so many people digging for spring soul in this Lingquan Forest, you can imagine how many powerful people there are in the entire Medicine Palace... When practicing in such a place, the pressure is really everywhere.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are so many students at the peak of Guangxuquan realm. How many students from other realms are there in total, I can't even imagine. No wonder Yaogong is known as the strongest in the world. It is not unreasonable to be one of the largest forces, huh? There is actually a garrison hall set up by the Medicine Palace here."

He said, and the two hurriedly walked forward. Near the entrance of Lingquan Forest, a simple hall stands under several giant trees.

This is the main hall of the Medicine Palace stationed in the Lingquan Forest. It is mainly responsible for the transactions and exchanges between the Medicine Palace disciples in the Lingquan Forest to collect spring souls, as well as the supply of some materials, elixirs, equipment, etc.

Like gunpowder, spring soul can also be traded. After a spring soul is dug out, it can only be stored for a maximum of three hours before it slowly dissipates on its own.

Therefore, many Medicine Palace disciples often need to exchange them for corresponding Medicine Palace contribution points or other materials after collecting spring souls that they do not like.

At this time, the importance of garrisoning the main hall is reflected.

Disciples who enter the Lingquan Forest for the first time can receive a "spiritual shovel" specifically for collecting spring soul for free as long as they report in the assistant hall. In addition, all other supplies need to be purchased with contribution points.

Next to the Assistant Hall, many disciples sat on the ground and set up stalls, forming a large-scale small market. Along the way, Chu Chen found that the most popular items sold at these stalls were "spiritual shovels" for digging spring souls and some "quan souls" that were not of high quality.

These two items can be said to be the most frequently used items in the entire Lingquan Forest. In addition, they are mainly some elixirs, food, etc.

"Come and take a look at my spiritual shovel. It is made of ancient deep-sea immersed silver. It is warm and delicate, and easy to use. It allows people to collect the spring soul they want in the first time! Now it is only sold for 5,000 contribution points. …”

"Look at my spiritual shovel. It's made of red blood mixed with copper, and there's a ten-thousand-year-old cat's-eye gem on it! Once this spiritual shovel comes within a foot of the spring soul, it will automatically light up. It's an incomparable tool for collecting spring soul. What a treasure! Sold at a low price!!..."

"Thirteen thousand contribution points, no bargaining! The ancient saint Gui Guzi left a supreme secret treasure! The golden light shovel made from the branches of a golden ancient tree that has been polished for ten thousand years only sells for half an hour!!"

"Snow Dragon Watching the Moon Shovel, 20,000 contribution points, vomiting blood, sale..."

…

Along the way, the monks at the stalls were selling their spiritual shovels hard. Chu Chen couldn't help but shake his head. In fact, the importance of the spiritual shovel was not that high. A good spiritual shovel just feels a little smooth to use when collecting spring soul.

As for those people's boasts about increasing the success rate and being able to directly detect the various supernatural powers of the spring soul, they simply don't exist! It's like eating with a pair of chopsticks. Bamboo chopsticks, silver chopsticks, and gold chopsticks all have the same purpose when actually eating. The difference only lies in the psychological effect of the user.

Therefore, these high-priced spiritual shovels, which often cost thousands or even tens of thousands of contribution points, are actually not worth that much at all. They are just gimmicks for stall owners who want to make huge profits.

Therefore, Chu Chen did not look sideways along the way and did not look at the surrounding stalls at all.

But Tang Rou next to him was attracted after hearing those incredible magical effects, and couldn't help but stepped forward and pulled his sleeve:,, "Don't you buy one of these good spiritual shovels?"

"Uh... haha, actually, as for the spiritual shovel, we can just use the ordinary spiritual shovel distributed by the Medicine Palace." Chu Chen smiled and shook his head when he saw this, "Whatever shovel you use, it doesn't matter."

"How can it not get in the way? A good shovel is equivalent to a good weapon. Everyone has only one chance to enter Lingquan Forest, so you must seize it! Is your contribution not enough? If not, I can lend it to you for the time being... I think the Snow Dragon Watching Moon Shovel and the Golden Ancient Tree Shovel are good, I'll go buy them." Tang Rou waved her hand slightly, with a hint of solemnity on her plain face. , walked towards the stall.

This girl takes it seriously...

Chu Chen smiled bitterly and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her sleeves, shaking his head helplessly: "Just listen to me on this matter, those shovels are useless, spending money on those things is just a waste... Don't worry, Even with an ordinary spiritual shovel, I can help you dig out the best spring soul."

It is said that women's money is the best thing to earn. Chu Chen now feels that the person who invented this sentence is too smart.

Um? …

Seeing Chu Chen's solemn expression, Tang Rou's eyes shifted slightly. At that moment, the girl's eyes seemed to have a slight ripple. She nodded silently and followed Chu Chen towards the garrison hall of the Medicine Palace.

When I arrived inside the garrison hall, I found that it was even busier inside than outside.

There are many Medicine Palace disciples selling and trading with each other holding balls of bright light in their hands. Those light balls are the "springs" naturally formed by heaven and earth.

In the Medicine Palace, even a mouthful of the lowest and most inferior "Third Grade Quan Soul" can be sold for a high price of at least 30,000 contribution points!

The springs produced in Lingquan Forest are generally divided into three grades from low to high, namely third-grade inferior springs, second-grade spiritual springs, and first-grade divine springs. The third-grade spring soul is the lowest and most elementary spring soul, without any attributes or abilities.

The second-grade spring soul is a relatively mature spring soul. This kind of spring soul often has the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, etc. After being transformed into the body of a monk, it can greatly enhance the "spiritual spring" condensed by the monk. "The power itself is worth several times more than the inferior spring soul.

As for the legendary first-grade divine spring, it has not appeared in the secret realm of Lingquan Forest in Medicine Palace for a long time.

Every time the divine spring is born, it will cause great turmoil in the entire Lingquan Forest. For monks, a first-grade divine spring is an elusive treasure. Once any monk with mediocre talent successfully integrates a divine spring, he will surely become the overlord of a party in the future. It can be said to be a treasure that defies heaven.

According to legend, there are higher-level spring souls above the first-grade divine springs. Those spring souls even have the limitations of a single attribute and thus have multiple attributes and some mysterious and unpredictable talents.

Of course, that's just a legend. Lingquan Forest has not seen such a super-level spring soul for hundreds of years.

At this moment, almost all the people doing business in the Assistant Hall were third-grade Izumi.

The reason is very simple. The quality of the secondary spring is not even as good as the spring spirit cultivated by the monks themselves. Therefore, any disciple with some talent in cultivation would rather condense the spring soul by himself than use the third-grade secondary spring.

Therefore, it is more practical for most people to sell them in exchange for some Medicine Palace contribution points.

"Chu Chen, how many springs do you think we will dig?" Tang Rou asked expectantly.

"I won't tell you this yet. You'll find out later when you follow me." Chu Chen smiled slightly. ()
