I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 257 Frozen Guard
Nie Jinghong pondered for a moment, finally took a look at the medicine garden enveloped by the magic circle, and turned around decisively.

"Let's go! Meet the captain first!"

The quasi-immortal weapon is of great importance. Even if you swear the oath of inner demons in front of him, the other party is still afraid that the person who swore the oath will have his soul searched.

Especially when facing the Cangming Dynasty of Zhongzhou, which had coveted the Moon Worshiping Dynasty for thousands of years ago, even the slightest clue could lead to the disaster of annihilation.

"Zhenren Huang, I just suddenly saw that the other person is a disciple of Guzhu City, and he is a treasure hunter who has been with An Ruoxi all year round. It is not convenient for his identity to be revealed, so I did not explain the reason to you. Please forgive me!" Zhenren Mu only looked at it at this time. I sincerely apologize to the real person Huangshi behind me.

Regarding his words, Li Jizhou believed [-]% of them based on the situation in the medicine garden at this moment. However, he still retained a bit of distrust in his heart and just nodded slightly.

"Huang Zhenren, where is your puppet?" Nie Jinghong looked at Huang Shizhen at this moment and asked.

"The puppet was stained with the blood of the disciples of Lone Bamboo City. I was worried that it would be sensed by those three people, so I put it away." Master Huang Shi said a little uneasily.

Nie Jinghong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jin Jiao's body again, feeling deeply afraid of Huang Shi's puppet.

"Don't worry, Zhenren Huang. If it's just this matter, I will talk to Nie Qingyuan in person. But... if it involves the matter of quasi-immortal weapons, even Zhenjun Guzhu can't do anything."

"Huang, take note of Master Nie's kindness!" Master Huang Shi saluted solemnly.

"Let's go. Let's meet up with the captain first. As for how to deal with possible crises, I can't make up my mind."

After finishing speaking, Nie Jinghong took the lead, followed by the other three, heading towards other directions of the imperial city ruins.

Three hours later, the 14-member team gradually gathered around ten people, leaving only Master Tongshan, Master Duobao, their Taoist companion Fairy Nishang and Master He who were not found.

"I'm afraid the four of them have already penetrated deep into the central palace complex!" During these three hours, Nie Jinghong has been leading everyone to search around, but has not dared to go deep into the central palace complex.

"Master Nie, what happened? Why do we have to gather in one place?" The yellow-faced female cultivator who was just found was slightly dissatisfied.

During the time she came here, she had discovered many treasures here.

Harvesting three middle-grade spiritual weapons and one high-grade spiritual weapon alone was a moment of excitement.

And after entering for so long, the only crisis encountered was the ancient people frozen in ice.

Although those ancients were very powerful, they would soon grow old, decline, and eventually turn into dust.

So, don't worry too much.

Even if you just pay attention to the ice crystal sculptures that may be frozen ancient people, and don't touch them, you will have almost no worries.

She still has great expectations for the treasures here.

"Yes, I'm not sure how long the ruins of this dynasty can last. It's better for us to find the treasure as soon as possible." Several others also had some objections.

Nie Jinghong frowned slightly in response to everyone's doubts, and finally looked at Zhenren Mu.

Zhenren Mu immediately repeated what he had said before.

"..." For a moment, everyone looked shocked.

After they all teleported in, they carefully explored the place, so they didn't know that anyone else had entered here.

Moreover, most people still don't know much about the Moon Worshiping Dynasty, and they have never thought about anything related to the level of quasi-immortal weapons before.

"Fairy Huaiyu..."

"Since this is possible, we'd better leave as soon as possible!"

"Leaving before you get it may avoid suspicion."

Facing the most talented disciple of True Lord Lone Bamboo, everyone became panic-stricken.

"Impossible! Zhenren Nie has already shown up, and the other party already knows that we have entered this place. As long as you are willing to know the secrets of the Moon Worshiping Dynasty, even if she thinks that we don't know it for the time being, it is inevitable that we will not find any clues when we get out. , thus doubting it.

Please ask yourselves, if you were her, what would you do in this situation? "Zhenren Mu stood up immediately.

Seeing this, Li Jizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the scars on his face.

It's hard to tell whether he was out for revenge and wanted to plot against An Ruoxi in advance with everyone, or whether he was really planning for everyone's life and death.

However, in this scene, even if he had a plan in mind, it was already a conspiracy.

After all, what she said was true!

After Mu Zhenren finished speaking, everyone fell into silence again.

There seems to be only one way in front of everyone - strike first!
"Find the captain first!" In the end, everyone decided to find Duobao Zhenren first.

After all, Duobao, who usually looks smiling, is the most powerful person in the entire team!
at the same time,

In the Medicine Garden Array, An Ruoxi and the other five people became increasingly anxious.

"What's going on? Why are there more and more guards?" An Ruoxi's apprentice blocked an ice pick with a higher-grade spiritual weapon and looked at An Ruoxi with some embarrassment.

An Ruoxi, who was at the peak of his golden elixir and had the second-grade Lingbao Cold Marrow Sword in his hand, was able to attack the Frozen Guards with ease. However, there were only two Frozen Guards in the first place, and if they were delayed for three hours, they would almost die on their own.

As a result, now, there are more and more frozen guards in the medicine garden.

"Uncle An, there are already eighteen frozen guards!" Master Shui Mo was already a little overwhelmed and fled in panic.

"Follow me and break out quickly. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Wait three hours before entering again!" An Ruoxi glanced at the menacing medicine garden guards and finally ordered helplessly.

"Boom~" The cold marrow sword exploded with a shocking blow, and a cold light instantly froze several guards in front.

This ice seal is completely different from the previous ice seal.

"Crack!" Just three breaths later, ice shards flew, and the frozen people shattered into countless debris as the ice crystals collapsed.

Li Jizhou took a breath of cold air as he looked through the shadowy vision lurking not far away and looking for possible frozen guards.

This kind of power is too terrifying.

I'm afraid everyone in Hong Tian's team won't be able to withstand a single blow.

However, fortunately, Li Jizhou clearly felt An Ruoxi's blow, and his aura suddenly dropped.

Obviously, this level of attack is too expensive for her at the peak of her golden elixir, and she may not be able to sustain continuous attacks.

Looking at the remaining frozen guards, they turned a blind eye to the shocking blow and still rushed forward without fear of death.

An Ruoxi frowned slightly: "Leave quickly. These guards have passed through the ice. Although they appear to be alive after being unblocked, the actual sea of ​​consciousness has dried up. Only the mana in the Dantian and the consciousness before the ice remain."

After hearing this, the other four people in Lone Bamboo City quickly ran towards the cracks in the magic circle.

After a while, under the protection of An Ruoxi, all five people exited the magic circle.

The Frozen Guards chasing behind them all rushed to the crack in the formation and stopped going out. They just stared at the five people outside and repeated the same words.

Seeing this, Li Jizhou smiled slightly, controlled the shadow to restrain all his aura, and quickly wandered around the medicine garden.

"Pfft~" Another basin-sized ice crystal shattered.

An elixir is revealed.

"Chalcedony? And it's been thousands of years!" The moment he saw the elixir, Li Jizhou's breath froze.

This turned out to be a fourth-level elixir, and it was the main ingredient of Huaying Dan.

"Wow~" After the ice crystals shattered, the chalcedony mushroom began to grow crazily.

"Huh~" Li Jizhou breathed out and stared at the changes in Chalcedony Zhi.

Some fourth-level elixirs can last for tens of thousands of years.

However, this chalcedony mushroom is more than 1000 years old, and Li Jizhou is not sure whether another tens of thousands of years will turn it into powder.

The reason why he just chose this relatively small ice crystal to unblock was because he wanted to find a seedling.
In this way, it is more likely to survive thousands of years safely.However, at this moment, it still cannot be measured by size.

"Stop~stop!" Finally, under the blessing of years, the entire rhizome of Chalcedony Mushroom began to wither, and the fruit on the top had reached its peak medicinal properties.

If you stop now and pick it, it will be the main ingredient for refining the Huaying Dan!
"Poof~" However, it was a pity that it had reached the peak of its medicinal age, but suddenly withered completely in the next moment, and finally turned into a pile of fly ash.

Li Jizhou sighed secretly and hurriedly controlled the shadow to search again.

After just three hours of fierce fighting.

Most of the elixirs in the medicine garden have been affected. The ice crystals were broken into pieces, and fly ash was scattered all over the ground. It was a mess.

"Pfft~" Avoiding the ice crystal that might be the frozen guard, the shadow once again came to a foot-high frozen crystal block.

With a slight touch of mana from his finger, the ice crystal shattered.

A small seedling comes into view!
"This is?"

The sapling had obviously just been planted, and it was just a bud. With Li Jizhou's knowledge, he could not fully understand it for the time being.

"Wow~" The ice crystal shattered, and the power of time added to it, and the seedlings began to grow wildly.

What was originally a small bud grew vigorously in an instant.

One section becomes two sections,

Sprouting, blooming, fruiting...

"Jiuqu Lingshen!" Suddenly, Li Jizhou's eyes widened when he saw the fruit!

Jiuqu Lingshen, the third-level longevity fruit.

Even if you swallow the third-level longevity fruit when it is full year old, your life span will increase by 20 years.

If it is refined into a third-level longevity pill.

Twice the genuine product, three times the top quality, four times the premium product!
With Li Jizhou's alchemy skills and the blessing of the characteristics of the annual rings in refining the longevity elixir, there is basically no problem with two top-grade pills and one exquisite pill.

This is 200 years of life!

"簌~" The power of time is still blessing, and the entire Jiuqu Spiritual Ginseng is swinging wildly.

However, Li Jizhou was not worried at all at this moment.

Life-extending fruits absorb the power of time, the more the better.

After a while, Jiuqu Lingshen returned to calm.

At this moment, the entire Jiuqu Spirit Ginseng has completely grown from a small seedling into a thousand-year-old medicinal tree.

There was more than one spiritual ginseng on it, three in total!

Three spiritual ginsengs are equivalent to 600 years of life in Li Jizhou's hands!

At this moment, Li Jizhou in Lone Bamboo City could not calm down.

The biggest problem right now is how to take it out safely!
The shadow puppet cannot use the storage bag. Only the puppet can transplant it into the jade bottle unscathed without revealing it and taking it away with others.
-
The puppet Huang Shizhen followed his teammates and slowly walked into the central hall of the Moon Worshiping Dynasty.

"Copper Mountain!"

Suddenly, a torn corpse not far away made Nie Jinghong at the front scream in surprise.

Everyone was immediately on alert and looked around carefully.

I saw a mess around Tongshan's torn corpse, with rubble and debris scattered on the ground. It was obvious that he had gone through a fierce battle.

"Tongshan's body refining can withstand a late-stage attack from the pill formation, but it ended up being torn apart!"

"Who is it?"

After everyone observed carefully, in addition to the aura of Tongshan, there were two other auras at the scene, one of which was Master Duobao.

The other aura was very unfamiliar and astonishingly powerful.

Li Jizhou frowned slightly. He was afraid that the loud noise he and Zhenren Mu heard when they were outside happened here.

Duobao Zhenren possessed several spiritual weapons in the late stage of elixir formation. Although Tongshan's cultivation was insufficient, his body refining was extraordinary. Under such circumstances, Tongshan was killed by him in such a brutal manner, which shows his strength.

Obviously, Duobao Zhenren cannot be his opponent!

"It must be those people from Lone Bamboo City!"

"Such methods and power can only be achieved with the peak of the Golden Core or the blessing of a spiritual treasure!"

"Don't be too arbitrary! An Ruoxi should have been in the medicine garden just now!"

"It's useless to talk more. Find the captain first and then talk!"

Everyone was talking about it, and finally Nie Jinghong restrained Tongshan's body and led everyone to pursue Duobao Zhenren's aura.

Li Jizhou hesitated slightly as he controlled the puppet, then glanced in the direction of the medicine garden in the distance, then frowned slightly and followed.

At this moment, the guards of the medicine garden gathered at the crack in the formation, and the puppets could not get in even if they passed.

In addition, An Ruoxi and five other disciples from Lone Bamboo City were still standing guard outside, waiting for the frozen guards to disappear.

"Huh~ Captain's aura escaped? And he didn't find the aura of the man who killed Tongshan chasing him." Everyone followed Duobao's aura to track,
After just entering the periphery of the central palace, they headed east again.

"With his temperament, how could he give up the central palace?"

"I'm afraid he senses something terrible!"

Everyone took a deep look inside the central palace, suppressed their inner greed, and finally chased out again following Duobao's aura.
-
"Uncle An, Senior Brother Liuhuo's soul card is broken!" Among the five people from Lone Bamboo City who were waiting outside the medicine garden, Master Shui Mo was suddenly startled and hurriedly took out a broken soul card from his storage bag!

Master Shui Mo is thoughtful and steady in his work. He is the general manager of the treasure hunting team in Guzhu City.

The soul cards of all the treasure hunting teams in Lone Bamboo City are controlled by him.

"Master Nephew Liuhuo..." An Ruoxi's expression suddenly changed and she took the soul card, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Who can kill Senior Brother Liuhuo? Senior Brother Liuhuo has entered the late stage of Jindan, and he has received a first-grade spiritual treasure from his master..." The other people were all shocked.

Before An Ruoxi joined them, Master Liuhuo was the number one fighting force.

Although his talent is not as good as An Ruoxi's, he still has the fire element of heavenly spiritual roots, and his understanding is extraordinary, which makes Nie Qingyuan of Guzhu City very happy.

Nie Qingyuan regarded it as a way to make up for his regrets.

He even gave the first-grade spiritual treasure given to him by True Lord Guzhu to True Lord Liuhuo.

"Xiaoyun, you stay here. If anyone else comes, tell me that this place has been taken over by me, An Ruoxi, so they can't come near!" An Ruoxi pondered for a moment and said in a cold voice.

She was determined to win the medicine garden, and she wanted to win it as soon as she entered the place.

Compared with the Guanghan Seal and Guanghan Jue under the underground palace of the Central Palace, the priority here is higher.

Here is the opportunity for her to turn into a baby!She even has the supreme destiny to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven!

As for the Guanghan Seal and Guanghan Jue under the Central Palace, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, because no one else can take it away except her!
"Master, don't worry. I just heard from Brother Shui that only Hong Tian's team broke in, and there was no one else. I believe that the people in Hong Tian's team are self-aware!" Disciple An Ruoxi nodded.

"Yeah!" After saying that, An Ruoxi and Master Shui Mo headed towards the direction of the soul card induction.

Seeing this scene through the shadow, Li Jizhou was instantly delighted.
