Chapter 425 - 171: Fairy Qingqiu, New Discovery, Grade-4 Spirit Plant 4
"Moreover, the cultivation process is rather discreet, making it suitable to learn and master at this time."
Zhou Changwang compared and quickly collected the Jade Scroll recording the Water Refining Technique, then focused on watching ’Black Heaven Technique.’
"Black Heaven Technique is actually a type of Magic that can block a cultivator’s Perception.
Once cast, it can make a cultivator’s eyes unable to see, further distorting the opponent’s Spiritual Sense and Divine Sense, obscuring the five senses, thereby disrupting the cultivator’s ability to fight the enemy.
Of course, the power is related to the opponent’s cultivation level.
The higher the cultivation, the faster one can break free from the effects of this Magic.
However, if I can cultivate this Magic to the Realm of Perfection, it is estimated that even Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators will be affected.
It would allow me to gain a greater advantage in battle."
Once Zhou Changwang thought about it, he knew that the effect of this Magic was significant and naturally would not give up cultivation.
"Ninety-five Dharma Rune structures, only thirty-seven overlap with the Dharma Rune structures I have mastered... If it were before, it would really take a day or two to master this Magic and reach the Entry Level.
Nowadays..."
Zhou Changwang muttered to himself, his Spiritual Sense lightly moving, and the Spiritual Power within his body was quickly mobilized.
One Dharma Rune, two Dharma Runes, three Dharma Runes...
Zhou Changwang used his Spiritual Sense to continuously draw, quickly drafting fifteen Dharma Rune structures.
Until the seventeenth, a slight error occurred, and the Magic casting failed.
Then, the second time, nineteen.
The third time, twenty-five.
The fourth time, thirty-three.
...
Zhou Changwang kept trying and kept failing.
Until the thirty-seventh attempt.
Buzz~!
The Magic was successfully cast.
Zhou Changwang pointed forward.
A sphere of pitch-black Magic mist suddenly emerged.
Black Heaven Technique (Entry Level 1/100)
After glancing at the Attribute Panel, Zhou Changwang’s face involuntarily showed a satisfied smile.
Immediately, he did not idle and started practicing continuously.
Once, twice, thrice...
The following morning.
Zhou Changwang emerged from the cave in high spirits.
Having walked not far, he immediately spotted a Blood-Eyed Demon Rabbit.
This was a Tier One Initial Stage Demon Beast.
Zhou Changwei did not hesitate, casting a Black Heaven Technique.
Black Heaven Technique +2
In an instant, the Blood-Eyed Demon Rabbit felt a sudden darkness, unable to see, and became extremely panicked, frantically fleeing and jumping around.
Boom~!
Then it quickly collided with a large tree, making a loud crash.
Unexpectedly, it directly died by crashing into the tree stump.
"This is truly..."
Zhou Changwang found it both amusing and frustrating.
He didn’t mind and used the Spirit Seizing Technique to extract two or three bottles of Demon Beast Spiritual Liquid, followed by a Fireball Technique to burn it clean.
Three hours later.
Zhou Changwang just found a Spirit Vein Node, and soon discovered a line of cultivators who had just dealt with the Demon Beasts around the Spirit Vein Node.
In the team, there were even several Spirit Plant Masters swiftly transplanting a Third-Grade Spirit Plant.
"Are they Qingyuan Sect disciples?"
Zhou Changwang paused, recognizing the leader as Liu Xishan, the cultivator leading the Qingyuan Sect team.
And among the crowd, he quickly recognized two elite Qingyuan Sect disciples, Qu Ying and Zhao Yuzhi.
Due to previously considering joining the Qingyuan Sect, he had paid more attention to Qingyuan Sect disciples, and recognized these cultivators.
"Indeed, there are plenty of good things in Divine Wind Valley.
Over the past few days, we have gained as much as eight Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.
Other Third-Grade Spirit Plants are also numerous.
It truly counts as a fruitful harvest.
Just a pity, there are no Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants."
At this moment, someone remarked with a sigh.
"Most spirit veins around Divine Wind Valley are no more than Third Grade.
The chances of birthing Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants are indeed much lower.
Only the spirit vein core areas are likely to produce Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants.
For instance, the center of the Black Forest, the ninth peak of Ninefold Mountain, the swamp lake in Poisonous Mist Swamp, the Yellow Stone Mountain in Yellow Stone Territory.
These places might produce Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants.
Besides these places, the most likely place to birth numerous Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants and even Fifth-Grade Spirit Plants is the Poison Demon Cave.
A hundred years ago, Martial Uncle Qi Heng ventured into Poison Demon Cave and reportedly saw a Fifth-Grade Spirit Plant, Blood Jade Spirit Flower, there.
Sadly, it harbors immense terror that even Martial Uncle Qi Heng couldn’t manage..."
Following that, the leading Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator spoke, filled with longing.
"Shall we head to the spirit vein core of the Black Forest to see if we can obtain a Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant?"
Then, someone asked.
"Seek indeed we must.
But honestly, don’t get your hopes too high.
Because at the start of each Divine Wind Valley hunting, major forces rush to the four main areas to find Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants.
Among them, the Thousand-Year Enlightenment Tea tree of Ninefold Mountain, guarded by the Earth Demon Bear, remains secure.
Since Enlightenment Tea needs a century to grow before harvesting.
Thus, no one has targeted it thus far.
This time, it happens to reach the hundred-year mark, surely many cultivators will head to Ninefold Mountain.
But the Earth Demon Bear, which was a Mid Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast a hundred years ago, is undoubtedly stronger now.
Trying to snatch Enlightenment Tea from it isn’t easy.
As for other spirit vein cores, people visit them each time. Last time I heard someone found a Burial Celestial Flower in Yellow Stone Territory.
This Burial Celestial Flower seemed to be taken by Qingyuan Sect’s Elder Taibo.
Reportedly, Elder Taibo rewarded the cultivator with a Foundation Establishment Pill and invited the lucky one to join Qingyuan Sect as a formal disciple."
"I know about this.
That senior’s name is Lu You, reportedly just a Loose Cultivator before.
But I heard Elder Taibo awarded him a Foundation Establishment Pill, which he has used.
Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed in Foundation Establishment.
Just saved his life because of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This year, he turns sixty.
Probably hopeless in Foundation Establishment in his lifetime, can only pursue Qi Cultivation until his end."
The elite disciple named Zhao Yuzhi promptly added, apparently well-informed on the details.
"Hence.
Fourth-Grade Spirit Plants aren’t easy to find.
Every time someone searches, not every time someone finds.
Moreover, I’ve heard that fifty years ago during the Divine Wind Valley hunt, the Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant Divine Fruit in the Black Forest was taken by the current Divine Wind Valley Marketplace Workshop Master.
Within merely fifty years here, it’s unlikely one can find a new Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant."
Then Liu Xishan spoke again.
Upon hearing this, other Qingyuan Sect disciples showed regret on their faces, couldn’t help but say: "It’s truly a pity.
I was hoping, if luck prevails, obtaining a Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant would be a windfall."
"Who wouldn’t want that?
However, with the substantial gains, the journey surely was worthwhile."
One of the cultivators commented with satisfaction.
Indeed.
Along with Liu Xishan, their group comprised only eight cultivators, yet had obtained eight Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object seedlings.
Almost one per person, with a value of at least ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stone each.
Not to mention other gains, naturally satisfied.
