I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 399: Forty-nine Mysterious Grass, Refining Golden Eyes!
"boom!"

The huge stone tiger, which must have weighed an unknown number of pounds, was completely out of breath at this moment. It fell to the ground with a loud bang, immediately raising a huge cloud of dust.

But Gu Yuan didn't care about these. He exerted his magic power and all the smoke and dust dissipated. Then he stretched out his hand and made a slash. The sharp sword energy lingered on his fingertips and directly cut open the belly of the stone tiger with seals.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The thick stone belly was cut open, and three streams of light with colorful colors suddenly flew up, trying to escape.

Not only that, there were also several blue-gray streams of light that trembled slightly, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into flying stone chips and disappeared without a trace, without taking off.

"return!"

But how could Gu Yuan let these three streams of light go as he wished? He stretched out his hand and clenched it. The heavy magic power enveloped his body and directly caught the three flying streams of light.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After being caught, the three streams of light were still unwilling to give up and continued to struggle, trying to escape. However, Gu Yuan simply increased his magic power slightly, and the three streams of light seemed to be bound by a force of thousands of pounds and could no longer move.

The light gradually dissipated, revealing the real body, which was actually three square stone seals with colorful seal characters engraved on the bottom!

Stone pattern seal!

The things that fell from the belly of the stone tiger with seals after its death were the condensation of its magic, except that these three stone seals, with colorful light flowing, did not have the slightest demonic aura. Instead, they seemed to be natural and full of mystery.

"It really is a pity that the tiger ate my vine's heart!"

When Gu Yuan saw the three stone seals, all of which were emitting colorful light, he could only sigh helplessly.

The stone tiger was originally a ferocious beast, without any intelligence, so it probably swallowed the seven-colored vine heart whole. Its vague wish was to "become stronger", and then the magic of the seven-colored vine heart was stimulated. It was unknown what had changed, but the three "stone seals" in its belly were upgraded, and the stone tiger also gained some intelligence.

However, a bird in the hand is worth more than a hundred in the forest. Good steel should be used on the blade.

To upgrade the Three Stone Seals and improve spiritual intelligence, and to have everything, it is destined that neither the Three Stone Seals nor spiritual intelligence will be too strong.

The wishing vine is not yet that strong.

If I were to make a wish myself, it would be completely different.

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan sighed again.

However, now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much, and the most urgent task is to refine these three stone seals into "external seals" to make up for the losses.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan did not delay. He stretched out his hand and directly shot out a ball of green fire, which landed on the three stone seals.

The stone seal trembled, as if conveying a feeling of unwillingness, but in the blink of an eye it was ruthlessly devoured by the fetal fire, and Gu Yuan's mark was forcibly imprinted on it.

"Bluestone Treasure Bottle Seal!"

"The seal that invites disaster!"

"The Hoop Technique Three Elements Seal!"

The fetal fire flowed, and in the blink of an eye Gu Yuan understood the use of these three stone seals.

The first is the "Bluestone Treasure Vase Seal" that the stone tiger used on the ferocious bird. This seal is the core seal condensed by the stone tiger's continuous swallowing of rare treasures and precious stones over the years. It can summon the shadow of the treasure vase outside the body. It cannot be harmed by any fourth-level magic or spiritual treasure. It has the ability to be indestructible by thousands of magics. The stronger the magic power, the stronger the protective ability of this seal.

The seal of disaster was the reason why the ferocious bird suddenly attacked Gu Yuan.

This seal can transfer the hatred of the enemy cultivator to others and forcibly change their minds, but it can only be used on people with low intelligence or extremely low spiritual power.

To Gu Yuan, it was quite useless.

As for the final [Three Elements Seal of the Hoop Method], which was the "Stone Ring" that attacked Gu Yuan in the end, this seal could summon a phantom of a stone ring, smash it towards the enemy cultivator, ignoring most of the defenses, and go straight into the cultivator's Dantian, locking up one third of the cultivator's magic power.

However, this seal has a flaw. Once the stone ring is shattered by the opponent's magic, one third of the seal's magic power will also be shaken for a short period of time, making it difficult to use.

It's a double-edged sword.

"Looking at it this way, only this [Bluestone Treasure Bottle Seal] can be used..."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly and sighed.

But all this was expected.

When the Wishing Vine is used in this way, it is naturally impossible to promote anything too mysterious.

"Fortunately, I still have this stone tiger robe and this fierce bird as compensation..."

Refining the stone seal was only a matter of a blink of an eye. Gu Yuan did not go into deep refining, but just performed a rough refining. Then, with a thought, he directly lifted up the corpses of the two ferocious beasts, turned into a rosy glow, soared into the sky, and flew towards [Qiaoshou Mountain].

The stone coat of the stone tiger with seal patterns is a precious treasure. It can be made into robes to avoid the detection of divine thoughts. To be honest, it may be more valuable than these three stone seals.

There was also that ferocious bird, whose eyes were like gold and stone, and even after death they were still shining with golden light, which never went out, and there were even Taoist seals flowing.

This is the "strange eye" that can see through the stone tiger's investigation. Gu Yuan has a feeling that this eye is not an ordinary thing.

However, he really didn't know the origin of this ferocious bird, so he didn't dare to act rashly. It would be better for him to return to [Qiaoshou Mountain] and make use of the "foundation" of the fifth-level sect.

……

……

Qiaoshou Mountain.

Qin Yun and the others were filled with spiritual thoughts. They killed the ferocious beasts and monsters that blocked their way, while collecting and plundering the spiritual herbs and orchids in the mountains.

But there were some distracted looks on their faces, especially Qin Yun, who looked into the distance and raised her head frequently.

Tiger-Striped Cliff was not very far from here. Although separated by the Eagle Stream Mountains, the roars of ferocious beasts and the sounds of fighting could still be vaguely sensed by the few people.

Gu Yuan must have been fighting with the ferocious beast.

They had already seen Gu Yuan's methods, but the Yaoyuan Mountain behind the Golden Bridge was not as dangerous as the Southern Realm. If something went wrong, it would be all over.

They didn't think that a Jindan cultivator alone could leave this place.

"Search carefully, why are you in such a hurry? This is the first dangerous mountain after the Golden Bridge. How can it be difficult for you, Master?"

“Work hard!”

The heart-eating insect was not at all panicked. It stood on the twisted branches of an ancient tree and directed several people to work.

"Shh!"

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed from a very far distance, as if it appeared out of thin air, and landed in front of several people.

"master!"

Seeing this, the heart-eating insect slid down the ancient tree and approached with a flattering smile.

"boom!"

The glow faded, revealing Gu Yuan's figure. The bodies of the stone tiger and the ferocious bird also fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"Imprinted Stone Tiger?!!"

"A fourth-level beast?!"

Seeing Gu Yuan return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were shocked to see the dead beast on the ground.

How long has it been since he killed two ferocious beasts?
One of them is a fourth-level beast? Just after entering the Dao fetus, its combat power is so strong?
But when I think of the scene in front of me where the person in the Golden Core state killed the Dao Fetus, everything seems to make sense again.

"The stone tiger with seals is a species of fourth-level fierce beast. If you refine the stone seal in the belly of this beast, you can obtain the magic out of thin air!"

"What a great trick!"

"This beast stone coat is also a treasure. I can serve the master and do this hard work!"

Master Ziyun first praised immediately, and then volunteered.

After the seal stone tiger dies, the stone clothing can be peeled off, but this animal was born with a stone body, and the stone clothing is inseparable from it. If you want to take the clothing from the stone, you need to use up your magic power bit by bit, which is indeed a hard job.

"I'm determined!"

Gu Yuan nodded slightly and was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice.

"Four-Nine Mysterious Grass!"

"It's the Four-Nine Mysterious Grass!"

Gu Yuan turned his head and saw Qin Yun pointing at the Taoist seal in the eyes of the ferocious beast with excitement, showing a look of surprise.

Bai Xuyang seemed to have noticed something, but when he saw Qin Yun had already spoken, he sighed slightly, retracted his steps, and said nothing more.

"Do you know this bird?"

Gu Yuan's heart moved and he asked Qin Yun.

"Brother Daoist, this ferocious bird is just an ordinary fourth-tier ferocious bird, the Fiery Golden Eagle. The reason why it has changed into this appearance must be because it has devoured the Forty-Nine Mysterious Grass!" Qin Yun stared at the ferocious bird's immortal golden eyes and said with certainty.

"Four-Nine Mysterious Grass..."

Gu Yuan had never seen the name of this grass in the Taoist scriptures, but it was vaguely recorded in the blood bat's memory. It was a rare treasure, but its specific effects were vague.

"The Four-Nine Mysterious Grass is a truly rare treasure. It takes a thousand years to get a seed. After swallowing this seed, the flesh of humans and great monsters can undergo a mysterious transformation and achieve a mysterious physical power."

"This demon must have swallowed the first seed of the mysterious grass, and its head changed into a human head, and it also gained magical powers of the eyes, which is why it still has an immortal golden glow after death."

"If it can swallow a second mysterious seed, its wings will turn into human arms and it will gain another magical power. If it can swallow a third seed, its torso will turn into a human body and it will gain a third magical power. If it can swallow a fourth seed, it will completely transform into a complete human body and become a human."

"By then, not only will you be able to obtain the four magical powers, but you will also be able to obtain an indestructible body, which will be terrifyingly powerful."

"Unfortunately, the Forty-Nine Mysterious Grass can only produce one seed every thousand years, and after each mysterious seed is picked, the second seed will grow. In other words, if you want to eat all four seeds, you have to wait for four thousand years!"

“So far, I have never heard of a great monster that can obtain the Forty-Nine Mysterious Transformations, but being able to obtain one seed is also the good fortune of this vicious bird.”

"This golden eye must be the magical power that this bird gained after being devoured. It has been a short time since the bird died. Brother Dao can take this eye and refine it with fetal fire. Maybe you can obtain the transformation of this eye and enhance your own body!"

"Unfortunately, if humans swallow it, the effect of this grass will be even stronger..."

Qin Yun explained quickly and used her magic power to copy in the air, showing Gu Yuan the effects and pictures of [Four-Nine Mysterious Grass].

"There is such a strange herb here?"

Gu Yuan was also amazed when he heard this.

Four magical powers and a body of diamond, it sounds extremely tempting.

But a waiting period of four thousand years is too long.

While Qin Yun was explaining, the Heart-Eating Bug had already trotted forward, dug out the "golden eyes" from the ferocious bird's eyes, and trotted over to present them to Gu Yuan.

Its eyes were dug out, but there was no blood in them, as if two golden gems were embedded in the eye sockets of the ferocious beast.

It shines brightly, with the rhythm of Tao flowing, mysterious and inexplicable.

"Do you know when this vicious bird devoured the Four Nine Mysterious Grass?"

Gu Yuan held his eyes as hard as gold and stone, feeling the constant flow of Taoism within them, and asked again.

"I really don't know about Qin Yun, but judging from the degree to which her golden eyes are moistened by demonic energy, she must be quite old."

Qin Yun shook her head slightly.

"Brother, do you want to find the trace of the Four-Nine Mysterious Grass? Look for the second seed?"

But Qin Yun immediately understood what Gu Yuan meant.

"I just missed a great opportunity, I need to find a way to make up for it!"

"Wait for me here! I'll go take a look first."

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered, and then he said something to a few people and prepared to escape.

"Brother, wait a minute. There are many rare treasures here. Why don't you take me with you? I can help you pick up the missing treasures!"

Qin Yun seemed to remember something and spoke immediately.

"Well, just come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves, and then, with the sound of the piano, he turned into a ray of light, flashing at a high speed, and left [Qiaoshou Mountain].

……

……

Eagle Valley Mountain.

The mountain is extremely steep, with cliffs thousands of feet high and deep valleys everywhere, making it difficult for birds to fly over, making it extremely dangerous.

There is also a group of ferocious eagle monsters in the mountains, hiding in the clouds and mist, in groups. They will peck at any living creature passing by, which is very ferocious.

But a ray of light passed through the layers of clouds, ignored the group of eagles, and landed directly in front of a huge cave at the top of the cliff.

The cave was filled with a foul stench, accompanied by a strong evil aura.

But seven feet away on the left side of the cave, there was a cloud of spiritual mist lingering, emitting a faint fragrance that dispelled all strange smells around.

Beside this spiritual mist, there are three extremely ferocious eagle monsters, who seem to be guarding this place.

"boom!"

But a ray of light came at an extremely fast speed and directly killed the three eagle monsters, and then the figures of Gu Yuan and Qin Yun appeared.

"It really is the Four-Nine Mysterious Grass!"

"This vicious bird has moved its nest in front of this grass!"

Gu Yuan's mind surged, he looked around, and then showed joy.

It was unknown what the ferocious bird wanted to do by going to Tiger-Striped Cliff, but it should not be too far away from the Cliff. Gu Yuan followed the remaining evil spirit and explored all the way, and soon found the bird's nest.

And everything was just as Qin Yun said, this ferocious bird really did have the Four-Nine Mysterious Grass!

"call!"

After making sure that there were no other fourth-level ferocious beasts on the mountain, Gu Yuan blew a breath and slightly dispersed the fog outside the grass.

In an instant, a three-foot-tall strange grass, golden all over, as if made of gold, quietly appeared.

This strange grass looks like a golden bamboo, with a total of four sections. At this moment, a thumb-sized jade-colored grass seed on the second section is quietly emitting spiritual light and continuously solidifying.

The spiritual mist outside the black grass was blown away by Gu Yuan. The jade-colored grass seeds seemed to be startled and suddenly stopped moving.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan hurriedly withdrew his magic power, restored the spiritual mist outside the black grass, and stopped looking at it.

"The seed jade light appears, and the spiritual mist lingers around. This 49 Mysterious Grass is about to condense the second Mysterious Seed!"

It was just a quick glimpse, but Qin Yun had already seen everything inside and immediately shouted in surprise.

"Brother Dao, what a great opportunity!"

"In at most one month, this jade seed will mature!"

That's true!

Seeing this, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of understanding.

On the illustration of [Four-Nine Mysterious Grass] that Qin Yun showed, there was a sentence: "The mysterious seeds are about to mature, and the fragrance lingers, which can be smelled a hundred thousand miles away. Magic cannot stop it, and it can attract thousands of beasts to fight for it."

When this Four-Nine Mysterious Grass matures, there will be signs within a thousand miles, and it will surely attract competition.

Combined with the slight intelligence in the ferocious bird's eyes, Gu Yuan roughly understood what the ferocious bird was thinking.

The vicious bird had eaten a black seed, so it knew there would be a fight, so it took action in advance to cause trouble for Shi Hu, or it wanted to kill Shi Hu and take the stone seal in his stomach to increase its strength.

Otherwise, generally speaking, a ferocious beast will not leave its nest to cause trouble for other ferocious beasts in the same realm.

Knowing this, Gu Yuan followed and followed to find out what was going on.

Sure enough, he guessed it right.

"Giving these mysterious herbs and vines to these mindless beasts is truly a rare treasure from heaven, and it is rightfully mine!"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves, renovated and cleaned the ferocious bird's cave, and then sat down leisurely in it, ready to wait for the black grass to mature and get the jade seeds.

The wishing vine was swallowed whole by the stone tiger, making him make a wasted trip without getting any rare treasure. He would definitely not miss this Sijiu Xuancao.

Not only that, Gu Yuan plans to stay in Yaoyuan Mountain for some time to make good use of the stone liquid and the Xingtian Seal to collect treasures.

Without Guangxuzi's disciples picking up the treasures, all of them would have fallen into the stomachs of ferocious beasts. What a pity!

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Gu Yuan set up a simple restriction, then took out the eyes of the ferocious bird, stimulated the fetal fire, and prepared to refine it.

The Forty-Nine Mysterious Grasses can bring you supernatural powers of the physical body, and the techniques are natural and extremely extraordinary. Even after death, the rhyme of Taoism will be indestructible. As long as you can refine it as soon as possible, you can obtain its rhyme.

This golden eye can see through the disguise of the stone tiger, it must be extraordinary!

"boom!"

The green flame surged, and the golden "Eye Stone" was continuously refined. Wisps of evil spirit dissipated, and then transformed into the purest Taoist rhyme.

"Shh!"

At some point, the golden eye suddenly exploded, turning into a stream of golden liquid, accompanied by inexplicable seal characters, and suddenly drilled into Gu Yuan's eyes.
