Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 46: Discovering an Opportunity, Soul Condensing Dew!

In the next moment, after leaving the convoy.

Jiang Yuan silently recited in his heart.

【Yes!】

【Successfully consumed 81 strands of Luck Power!】

Then, a prompt suddenly appeared in his eyes.

【Twenty miles southeast from here, there is a towering ancient tree, beneath which lies the Soul Condensing Dew.】

Jiang Yuan looked at this prompt in front of him and couldn't help but feel delighted.

Just as I expected!

In such a dangerous place like the Blackwater Marsh, there must be treasures of heaven and earth where few people have set foot.

But what is Soul Condensing Dew?

Judging from its name, it should be related to the soul. Could it enhance the strength of my soul?

However, judging from the amount of Luck Power consumed, the effect of the Soul Condensing Dew must be excellent.

Its quality should be higher than the hundred-year-old spirit medicine I obtained last time.

While Jiang Yuan was moving quickly, he pondered in his heart.

On the other side.

Old Ma raised his hand and said, "Young Master has given the order, we will rest here!"

"Great! Finally, we can rest!" someone exclaimed, quickly finding a clean spot and sitting down.

Some people took out water bottles to drink, while others started eating dry rations.

At this moment.

Shu Xiaoxiao sat alone on the carriage, curling her legs up and taking a short nap.

Although it was tough to accompany Jiang Yuan on the escort, she was very happy.

When they left Lin'an County before, Jiang Yuan had said that she could wait obediently in Lin'an County for his return.

Because being on an escort journey, enduring hardships and sleeping rough, would definitely be tough, especially for a young girl like her.

But when Shu Xiaoxiao heard this, she firmly shook her head.

She said, "I'm not a rich young lady, just a farmer's daughter and the young master's personal maid. What hardships can't I endure?"

Moreover, since she was the young master's maid, how could she leave the young master alone and enjoy a comfortable life in the county?

On the other side.

After a while.

Jiang Yuan stopped on a slightly damp ground.

There were large and small puddles everywhere, and some places even resembled swamps.

The surrounding soil was pitch black, hence the name Blackwater Marsh.

Looking at this scene in front of him, Jiang Yuan was filled with confusion.

It should be roughly in this direction, so why can't I see the towering ancient tree mentioned in the prompt?

According to reason, this shouldn't be the case!

Then he looked at the prompt again.

Twenty miles southeast, towering ancient tree.

With my speed, it's impossible to miscalculate!

It should be somewhere nearby.

And even if it's called a towering ancient tree, it should be extremely obvious.

But why can't I see it?

He was instantly filled with doubts.

Then Jiang Yuan climbed up a nearby tall tree and looked around, but he still couldn't see the towering ancient tree mentioned in the prompt.

Just as he was searching the ground in all directions.

Suddenly, as if crossing through time and space, the scene in front of him changed.

A towering ancient tree suddenly appeared in front of him, with branches spreading wide, reaching a length of about twenty zhang.

Could this be the formation recorded in ancient texts?

Blinded by one's own preconceptions, unable to see Mount Tai!

Jiang Yuan's expression became serious, and he quickly retreated.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed again.

The towering ancient tree disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black puddle.

Seeing that he had returned to the same place, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I can enter and exit.

It doesn't have a trapping effect.

Then, Jiang Yuan walked forward again, and the towering ancient tree appeared in front of him once more.

Just as I thought!

It's probably the legendary illusion formation!

Fortunately, it's not too profound. Otherwise, with my knowledge, I probably wouldn't be able to enter this illusion formation in my entire life.

I wouldn't have discovered this opportunity.

However, when he saw the countless white bones and some animal carcasses that had just died but hadn't decayed yet on the ground, he instantly understood.

Perhaps it's not that this illusion formation can't be more sophisticated, but the person who set up this illusion formation needs the corpses of countless beasts to feed this towering ancient tree.

If the illusion formation can block outsiders, how could there be a gathering of countless beasts?

In the next moment.

Jiang Yuan condensed the true meaning of martial arts, sweeping through a range of several dozen zhang in front of him.

Everything was calm and peaceful, except for the rustling sound of tree branches swaying.

It seems there are no major problems, Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

Then he stepped into the range of the towering ancient tree, his feet stepping on the scattered white bones, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

After a moment, he arrived under the ancient tree.

Underneath the ancient tree, in the tree hole, five droplets of dew-like liquid gathered.

These five droplets of dew were particularly strange, like water droplets, but they couldn't merge when they collided with each other.

Above the dew, there was already one droplet that had condensed more than half, looking as if it was about to fall.

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, realizing that this might be the Soul Condensing Dew mentioned in the clue.

The scene before him made it clear.

The scattered white bones under his feet were ultimately for the purpose of condensing those few droplets of Soul Condensing Dew.

This place was most likely a place created by humans.

Used to collect the produced Soul Condensing Dew.

Fortunately, there was only an extremely ordinary illusion formation here. If it were more complex...

With his current knowledge, he would have no chance of obtaining the Soul Condensing Dew in this place.

Then, Jiang Yuan broke off a branch from the nearby treetop.

He then reached into the tree hole and used a leaf to scoop up a droplet of Soul Condensing Dew.

Throughout the entire process, he remained extremely focused.

Ready to retreat at any moment if something unexpected happened.

But in the end, he found that he had been overly cautious.

Everything was calm, without any unexpected occurrences.

As for that droplet of Soul Condensing Dew, it had already appeared in front of him.

Rolling on the green leaf.

In the next moment, Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and poured the droplet of Soul Condensing Dew into it.

As soon as the Soul Condensing Dew entered his throat...

That droplet of dew disappeared in an instant.

A strong chill rushed from his throat to his spiritual platform.

Jiang Yuan shivered, carefully sensing the changes inside his body.

In an instant, a coolness appeared at his brow.

It seemed as if the dust in his spiritual platform had been swept away, and the distractions in his mind disappeared without a trace.

He became indifferent, without joy or sorrow.

After a full half an hour...

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

As expected, it enhanced the soul and had the effect of changing the Innate. It significantly increased his vitality and spirit.

Even his own soul seemed to have been strengthened.

Looking at the remaining droplets of Soul Condensing Dew in front of him, Jiang Yuan felt great joy.

Such a precious treasure was extremely important to him at the moment.

It could greatly shorten the time he spent in the Nurturing Spirit stage.

The consumption of Luck power was well worth it.

Then, Jiang Yuan continued to take out the remaining droplets of Soul Condensing Dew from the tree hole.

One by one, he poured them into his mouth.

With each droplet digested, Jiang Yuan felt that his soul became more solid, and his essence slightly improved.

His vitality and spirit continued to increase.

When the last droplet of unformed Soul Condensing Dew was poured into Jiang Yuan's mouth...

He suddenly shivered, as if something was breaking out of his body, and the essence of his soul underwent a qualitative change.

At this moment, his vitality and spirit reached their peak, overflowing.

This meant that at the eighth level of Body Tempering, he had reached an extreme peak state.

To continue to improve, he could only break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering.

"I can finally prepare to break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering!" Jiang Yuan murmured to himself, a hint of joy in his eyes.

The Nurturing Spirit stage, as Sun Zhi from the Sunset Sect had said, had indeed been a long struggle for him.

If it weren't for condensing the perfect true meaning of martial arts, combined with Su Xin's qin music to temper his vitality and spirit, and now obtaining the Soul Condensing Dew, this precious treasure...

This stage would have been even more difficult for him.

But everything he gained was worth it.

Because he knew very well that at the eighth level of Body Tempering, the strength of one's vitality and spirit was incomparable.

Ning Buqi was a good example.

Although he was at the ninth level of Body Tempering, his vitality and spirit were easily suppressed by Jiang Yuan's true meaning of martial arts.

In Jiang Yuan's understanding, this was the difference in physical strength.

A strong physical body naturally nurtured a stronger vitality and spirit, with a higher limit.

Just like in his previous life, how could a weak and sickly body have strong vitality and spirit?

Martial artists naturally had a full spirit.

The physical body and vitality and spirit were inherently interconnected and inseparable.

With a strong physical body, one could naturally nourish the vitality and spirit.
