Chapter 10: Unlucky Star
Elder Han dug out the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass along with its mother soil with trembling hands that looked like expired black chicken claws, and carefully placed them in a jade tripod.

In order to obtain this elixir, he searched for more than ten years before he found it. Yunfeng Ridge was not easy to find. It was located at the bottom of a deep abyss thousands of meters deep and was extremely dangerous. Most cultivators did not dare to take risks easily. This was already a relatively deep area of ​​the original ruins.

Then, he planned for almost two years, and now he has finally succeeded, and he also got a mutated golden centipede as a medicine inducer.

Jiang Ming glanced at the old man's useless appearance and calculated with his fingers that he would not live more than two years.

This is his fate. Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with Jiang Ming.

"Hey, old man, what have you thought about? Have you decided to go to the Western Desert with me for further studies? With your wisdom, you are more suitable for the ancient Buddha."

Jiang Ming looked at Elder Han and invited him sincerely.

"Thank you for helping me, but unfortunately, I am dying and will not have the blessing to go to the Western Desert with you to see Mount Xumi."

There was no way Elder Han would agree to Jiang Ming's bad idea. In his current condition, he could live for three more years at most. If he could successfully refine the longevity elixir, he might be able to live two more years. He traveled all the way from the East Desert to the West Desert with Jiang Ming, and died on the way.

"That's such a pity. Go and do your work. I will study your volume of Dao Pattern Basics for a while and return it to you when the time comes.

By the way, where are you from? Do you have a fixed contact address? "

Jiang Ming took the animal skin book and said as he flipped through it.

"I am the elder of Lingxu Dongtian. You can call me Fellow Daoist Han. Our Lingxu Dongtian is affiliated with Yaoguang Holy Land. If you dare to come to me, then come!"

Elder Han was more afraid of Jiang Ming than anything else, and the tone of his voice at this time was more of bluffing.

Now he just wanted to run away and bring back the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Herb safely.

As for the ancient book on animal skin, Jiang Ming was unwilling to give it to him now, so he would just feed it to the dog. He didn't believe Jiang Ming's lies that he would give it back to him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old fellow’s figure was directly wrapped in the faint green rainbow light. He flew at a low altitude and quickly flew towards the direction of Lingxu Cave Heaven outside the original ruins.

"Friend Han, you might as well shave your hair. When your life extension is finished, I will invite you to the Western Desert."

Looking at the ghostly figure of Elder Han, Jiang Ming shouted.

Elder Han, enveloped in emerald green light, staggered and nearly fell from the sky.

The cultivation method of this world, the Mingquan monk, can fly on the rainbow. It turns out that the whole person is wrapped in this rainbow light and can fly in any posture?
For example, you can fly sideways, standing, upside down, lying down, or in some elegant or silly poses.

The rainbow light that one controls is related to the method one practices. For example, when his master flies, the rainbow light he controls is purple.

And this Elder Han is like an old monster, or an old mountain ghost, dark and gloomy, really speechless, and it is obvious at first glance that he is not a good person.

After a little thought, Jiang Ming had already arranged the next plan, "Well, next, get a spiritual medicine, and then break through the seventh level of Qi training."

Elder Han is an unopened gift package of his. To open the gift package, it would be best if his favorability with him could be slightly increased to over 50.

Now, this guy's favorability towards him must be below 30, and he is more wary and fearful.

Let’s start with Elder Han and experiment with the correct way to use the Tianshaguxing system.

There is no waste system, only waste hosts.

This was the information he got from his memories of Earth in his previous life, and it seemed to make sense.

There's no point in complaining, he has no way to control the system.

It is better to find a way to enjoy the benefits it brings, or to squeeze the true value of the system and drain the system dry.

Before leaving, Jiang Ming put away the animal skin book, transformed into the Six-Eared Macaque again, and began to use the Six-Eared Macaque's talents to observe the Meteorite Phoenix Ridge. Before leaving, he took a closer look. This place is so special, what if there are some rare treasures left behind!

Zhu Yan's seventy-two transformations are really useful.

The next moment, a 1.68-meter-tall ape with thick hair all over its body, each hair of which was golden, appeared. Its eyes shot out golden rays and it began to observe the entire Yunhuang Ridge.

after a little while.

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up. A thousand meters underground, right where the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass was located, he found a blood-red stone, only the size of a thumb. It was this stone that emitted a ray of blood light from time to time and gave birth to the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass.

This is normal. Since the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass was born here, there must be some reason.

However, once a cultivator's spiritual consciousness passes through the ground, it will be restricted. Even for a cultivator of the Divine Bridge, the range of spiritual consciousness exploration is limited, only two hundred to three hundred meters.

The range of the Divine Bridge monk's spiritual awareness is approximately four hundred to six hundred meters.

For the monks on the other side, that is eight hundred meters to one thousand two hundred meters.

However, due to the influence of the ground, the monks from the other side may not be able to explore it so clearly when they come here.

Moreover, this blood-colored stone is itself covered by a layer of strange substance.

change!
Jiang Ming used his 72 transformations and turned into a pangolin. He disappeared from the spot in an instant, and used the pangolin's earth escape talent to go underground and come to the stone. So that's it. This is a source stone. For some reason, it cracked into a gap as thin as white paper and as small as fine sand.

This source stone is as big as a millstone and looks like a piece of troubled times buried underground. There are many such stones around, but there is a blood-red stone as big as a thumb inside.

This is not phoenix blood red gold, nor is it nine-sky red jade. It should be a drop of dried phoenix blood crystal. However, it is unknown how much time has passed and the spiritual power has been lost seriously.

Moreover, the fallen phoenix was not as powerful as imagined. It was estimated that it was an ancient relic with phoenix bloodline.

Even so, this drop of blood crystal is much more precious than the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass, and the cultivators in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm will snatch it when they see it.

Jiang Ming's heart moved. It seemed that this time his natal sword had successfully transformed. With this drop of phoenix blood crystal and the wisp of Gengjin Qi he had just swallowed from the golden centipede's body, the success rate of his natal sword's transformation had reached ninety-nine percent.

Next, in order to be on the safe side, he only needs to get a rare treasure from this primitive ruins and refine it, and he will definitely be able to break through.

He just forgot to borrow some Hundred Herb Liquid from his good friend Elder Han.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a Life Spring monk you just saved. I will randomly reward you with a Nine-Leaf Phoenix Spirit Herb, which has been automatically stored in the host's Sea of ​​Bitterness."

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded.

Hiss, the bad luck, the unlucky star, the disaster star, the reputation is well-deserved, this is too poisonous.

Jiang Ming felt completely numb. Just now, out of kindness, he saved three wandering cultivators, but now one of them is dead.

what happened?

Could it be that Elder Han, that sinister and vicious old man, has some other tricks up his sleeve?
Fortunately, two were still alive.

It's all his bad luck.

I don't know whether the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Spiritual Herb determined by the system is the same species as the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Herb that Elder Han treasures and regards as his life.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a Life Spring monk you just saved. I will randomly reward you with a 300-year-old Jade Snake Orchid, which has been automatically stored in the host's Sea of ​​Bitterness."

Jiang Ming: “——”

It’s none of his business. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.

Fortunately, there is still one alive. Why don’t you hide? You are so seriously injured, can’t you find a place to heal first?

Jiang Ming was really worried about this generation of independent cultivators. They had already escaped, so couldn't they just continue to live well?

"Congratulations to the host for killing a Life Spring monk whom you just saved. I will randomly reward you with a Jade Snow Lotus Fruit, which has been automatically stored in the host's Sea of ​​Bitterness."

All dead!
What a sin, you dog system, look at what you have done, is it necessary to be so cruel?
That old bastard Elder Han must have left a backup plan. He was worried that the news about the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Divine Grass would be exposed, so he killed people to silence them.

Jiang Ming sat deep in the earth, summoned his natal sword, and began to build a temporary stone chamber. He was not in a hurry to go out now as he had enough resources for cultivation.

After doing all this, Jiang Ming adjusted his state and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. By the way, he took out the animal skin scroll of the basic Taoist patterns and continued to study it.

About an hour later, Jiang Ming reached his best condition.

Then, Jiang Ming took out the spare animal skins and monster blood he had on him, engraved two talismans on them, and pasted them around the stone chamber, making it look like it had turned into ordinary stone.

With his attainments in talismans, once these three talismans were pasted up, even the Taoist monks passing by would not be able to see through them.

This is because his cultivation is too poor and he cannot engrave more profound talismans.

As for the book on Taoist Pattern Basics, Jiang Ming has already finished reading it.

For him, it is easy to get started, just like a modern PhD in classical Chinese going back to ancient times to study classical Chinese. Although he will not understand it all at once, as long as he studies it for a period of time, he will be able to grasp it thoroughly.

Then, Jiang Ming looked at his natal sword. There was an extra golden thread in it, located in the very center of the sword. With the daily refining, it slowly devoured other gold-based treasures, and could strengthen the Gengjin Qi bit by bit.

Then, Jiang Ming took out the 300-year-old Jade Snake Orchid and ate a similar 100-year-old Jade Snake Orchid. The second time he ate it, Jiang Ming ate it directly as if it were a white radish.

In the previous life, Jiang Ming, who was at the same level, would definitely not dare to do this, as he might explode and die.

But now, he took a third of the Jade Snake Orchid in one bite and felt the sweetness in his mouth, along with the fragrance spreading through his mouth and nose.

In fact, the entire stone chamber was filled with refreshing fragrance. He finally understood the specific meaning of the word "rich and fragrant". It was much more delicious than the century-old jade snake orchid.

The taste and moisture of the Jade Snake Orchid gave him an excellent experience. The medicinal power entered his stomach and immediately flowed to every part of his body. He felt that all the sweat pores in his body were dilated.

His whole body seemed to be enveloped by the essence of heaven and earth. He felt as if he was floating in the air, as if he had turned into a spirit snake, flying and swimming in the spiritual world. His internal organs were all nourished by wisps of tiny essence, and the glow of the sky was flowing.

Jiang Ming knew very well that having too much energy was not a good thing, but he felt comfortable only because of his special physique. If he were an ordinary cultivator, he would be feeling the pain of his body being torn apart.
