Chapter 128: Many Creations in Immortal Mountain

Sacred objects are hard to come by, especially tea which can bring peace of mind and enlightenment, which is even more coveted.

Even for an ordinary cultivator, eight or nine pieces of enlightenment tea leaves can help him attain enlightenment once. For a cultivator with good talent, only two or three pieces are often enough to help him attain enlightenment once.

After a cultivator enters the Four Extremes Secret Realm, he needs to attain enlightenment in order to break through the realm. At this moment, enlightenment tea becomes extremely precious. It is a good thing that cannot be bought with money.

Ye Fan and others in front of him have all reached cultivation levels above the Four Extreme Secret Realms, and they all need enlightenment in order to quickly break through the realm.

Looking at the plucked-out ancient tea tree of Wudao, it still exudes an extremely mysterious aura, as if it has stirred up all the laws of heaven and earth, giving people a very special feeling.

Seeing this, Li Heishui, with green eyes, suggested: "Why don't we just dig it away?"

Tu Fei's eyes lit up as well, and he agreed deeply: "Yes, that's a good idea."

Ye Fan had once dug the divine root of the Nine Wonderful Immortal Elixir in the ancient forbidden area, so he immediately volunteered and said, "I'll dig it."

Pang Bo, who had always stood by Ye Fan, stepped forward and said, "I'll help you."

The big black dog was stunned when he saw this and said, "Are you locusts? How can you be more determined than me? Picking off the leaves is fine, but you want to dig out the roots too. This is too much."

Seeing this, Li Zhi moved faster than all of them. He appeared in front of the Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment, stretched out his hand to stop them, and said, "Stop, do you guys want to kill everyone? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Young Taoist priest, what are you doing?" Li Heishui looked at Li Zhi with confusion. He thought Li Zhi was brave enough, but he never thought why he was so timid now.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Li Zhi explained: "If you dare to move this old tree, believe it or not, the powerful beings in the center of Immortal Mountain will definitely sense it, and the immortal medicine living in other places will also be frightened and run away. Don't even think about encountering any good fortune next time."

"There are other elixirs of immortality in the mountains?" Tu Fei asked in surprise.

Li Zhi said: "Of course there is an elixir of immortality, it depends on whether you can resist the greed in your heart."

The big black dog came up to Li Zhi and asked, "Little Taoist priest, do you know anything?"

Li Zhi said: "Do you think that the Void Emperor left a way out in the Immortal Mountain because he was bored? Let me tell you the truth. According to my observation, the way out left by the Void Emperor leads to most of the lucky places outside the Immortal Mountain. As long as everyone is careful and does not alarm the mountain guards, the luck you can get will be far beyond your imagination."

"There is such a good thing, how come I didn't know about it?" There was some confusion in the big black dog's eyes.

Ye Fan also asked curiously: "Li Zhi, is everything you said true?"

Li Zhi just said: "I am a professional."

Ye Fan understood the meaning behind Li Zhi's words in a second, and then said to everyone: "Since we have picked the enlightenment tea leaves, let's go."

Li Zhi turned around and said to the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree: "Young people are ignorant, I hope Senior Tea Tree will not blame you."

After saying that, he poured another bottle of magical spring water into the roots of the Wudao ancient tea tree.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Afterwards, everyone left the area where the Wudao ancient tea tree was located.

Little Nannan rode on Heihuang's back again and led the way for everyone.

Pang Bo approached Li Zhi and asked, "Boss Li, is that old tree really intelligent?"

Li Zhi said: "All immortality pills have intelligence, but the broken world has made their intelligence ignorant, but it does not mean that they cannot communicate. Where do you think the enlightenment tea I asked you to drink just now came from? I exchanged it with Senior Tea Tree with my sincerity."

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Li Heishui, who was standing next to him, said to Li Zhi with shining eyes: "Little Taoist priest, did you get another big harvest?"

Tu Fei also said: "No wonder you, little Taoist priest, were indifferent when we were picking those unripe tea leaves. It turns out that you have already obtained a lot of ripe tea leaves."

Ye Fan also looked at Li Zhi curiously, wanting to know how much ripe tea leaves he had obtained.

Based on his understanding of Li Zhi, the harvest would definitely be more than the tea leaves on the trees, otherwise it would be impossible for them to not pick a single leaf before they arrived.

Li Zhi smiled without saying anything, letting them guess for themselves.

Only the big black dog looked back at Li Zhi from time to time. No one knew what he was thinking. In short, he was very quiet along the way.

Soon, they discovered that the road that Xiao Nannan pointed out actually led to the central area of ​​Immortal Mountain, and everyone began to wonder.

"This is obviously heading towards the center of the Immortal Mountains. Are we looking for a way to survive, or are we seeking death?" Tu Fei said with a pout.

Li Zhi looked at the surrounding environment and breathed a sigh of relief. The ancient tea tree of enlightenment did not run into the depths of the Immortal Mountain. It seemed that the headless knight who was guarding the peace of the Immortal Mountain was not alarmed.

Finally, after crossing a mountain, everyone saw a black river rushing through the mountains.

On both sides of the river, there are black mountains, majestic and shrouded in mist, which look extremely mysterious. These mountains are the kings of mountains and the emperors of mountains. Each mountain is hard to find in the world, as if people have seen the mountains and rivers of the Hades.

The black water was surging and roaring, but there was not a trace of life in the water, which made people feel uneasy.

The big black dog walking in the front exclaimed: "River of Styx, there really is such water in this world."

The legendary Styx is a large river in the underworld. It actually appeared in the Forbidden Zone of Life, making them even more worried about the dangers of the Forbidden Zone of Life.

"Look, there is a spring there, it's scary yellow." Li Heishui pointed to a spring pool with yellow water next to the Styx and said.

"Is this Huangquan?" Ye Fan was shocked, then he remembered that there were professionals around him, so he turned to Li Zhi and asked, "Li Zhi, what do you think?"

Only then did everyone realize that there was someone following them in the team.

At the same time, they did not realize that as long as Li Zhi did not speak, his presence seemed to be very low and they would not think of him first.

"Yes, with the little Taoist priest here, we don't have to be afraid of the ghosts in the underworld." Li Heishui also spoke, as if he just remembered that Li Zhi was still by his side.

Pang Bo frowned, as if wondering why he didn't think of Li Zhi just now.

The big black dog looked at Li Zhi and said, "Little Taoist priest, what secret method have you practiced? Why does your image become blurred in my mind whenever I don't pay attention to you?"

Li Zhi said calmly: "It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning."

Being in the forbidden zone of life, Li Zhi was much more careful than Ye Fan and the others. Except for the days when he practiced under the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, during the rest of the time, Li Zhi put into practice all the methods he had learned to conceal his breath. He even managed to use the artistic conception of the crying and laughing ghost face pattern that he had just learned from the ancient photos of the ruthless emperor.

This is to ensure that his breath will not be captured by the existence in the Immortal Mountain.

Then, Li Zhi pointed at the Styx and Yellow Spring in front and said, "Someone is experimenting with the method of immortality. They have artificially transformed a region filled with only death. The Yellow Spring and the Styx over there form a terrifying terrain called the Yellow Spring Life and Death Map, but it is not used to kill people, but to breed immortal life. You must have heard of a saying that the end of death is life, and the end of life is death. Life and death are actually two sides of the same coin and can be transformed into each other."

Tu Fei looked confused and asked Li Zhi, "Little Taoist priest, what do you mean by this? Can people keep dying and coming back to life, and then dying again?"

The others also showed a hint of curiosity.

Li Zhi said, "You can think so. But the premise is that you can transform the life and death energy in your body into the ultimate life and death energy. Then, you can live when you want and die when you want. There must be immortal vitality in the Yellow Springs Life and Death Map in front of you. Look for it, and maybe you can find a stunning fortune that is not inferior to the immortality medicine."

After saying this, Li Zhi opened his Eye of Life and began to observe the area.

Soon he saw several strange little grasses in the Yellow Spring Pool. The death energy contained in the grasses was extremely overwhelming, but at the same time, there was an astonishing vitality entangled with the death energy. Moreover, the vitality was so strong that it was not weaker than the vitality contained in the immortal medicine fruit.

At this moment, Pang Bo, Tu Fei, Li Heishui and others exclaimed, "The immortality elixir, look, there really is an immortality elixir."

The big black dog was even drooling.

Only Ye Fan used the source technique to observe the surrounding mountains and rivers, and determined that it was a dangerous place and could not be visited. He shouted to Pangbo and the others, "Wait, don't move."

In the Yellow Springs Pool, a black magical herb slowly emerged, with a strong aroma that made people unable to extricate themselves and wanted to rush over immediately. It was shaped like a secluded orchid, with crystal dots, as if carved from black jade, flowing with intoxicating brilliance, sinking and floating in the Yellow Springs, with the aura of the Great Dao flowing on its leaves. A strong medicinal fragrance came over, and taking a deep breath made people feel refreshed, as if they had undergone a sacred baptism and were about to ascend to heaven.

The three people and the dog all looked at Ye Fan, waiting for his explanation.

Ye Fan said, "That's not the immortality elixir, but the netherworld grass. After taking it, your body will turn into a rotten corpse, but your consciousness will be immortal. When the God King was resurrected, three old monsters who had lived for four thousand years were born, breaking the lifespan limit of only two thousand years for the most powerful. They accidentally entered the Immortal Mountain and survived by taking the netherworld grass in the Yellow Spring Pool."

"It's such a pity! I thought I could get a mature elixir of immortality. I could eat it when my lifespan dries up in my old age and live another life." Tu Fei said with a look of regret.

Pangbo and the big black dog also had regretful looks on their faces and kept cursing.

Li Heishui asked Li Zhi, "Little Taoist Priest, what do you think?"

Li Zhi said: "The netherworld grass is probably the amazing fortune bred here. The vitality inside is extremely special. It can be used to refine amazing divine pills, greatly improving our soul essence, making the soul strong and immortal. At least it can double the lifespan of the powerful."

The signs of a cultivator's lifespan running out are often the exhaustion of his soul, which leads to the exhaustion of his physical body, and finally death.

However, the bodies of some powerful monks are immortal even after death.

Therefore, when the soul becomes strong, the life span of the cultivator will be extended accordingly.

In the world of cultivation, it is easy to maintain the vitality of the physical body, but it is extremely difficult to maintain the vitality of the soul.

The vitality within the Nether Grass has a miraculous effect on the soul. It is a very rare magical medicine that can directly act on the soul.

Ye Fan asked: "Li Zhi, are you sure you can resolve their side effects?"

Li Zhi said confidently: "It didn't exist before, but it exists now."

The big black dog immediately said, "What are you waiting for? Pick it up quickly."

Li Zhi shook his head gently and said, "No hurry, wait a little longer."

"Is there more than one Nether Grass here?" Li Heishui said with his eyes lighting up.

"There should be three mature Nether Grasses in the Yellow Springs Pool. Now only one is floating up to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. The other two will float to the surface soon." Li Zhi said.

Afterwards, they stayed near the Styx and the Yellow Springs Pool, waiting for the other two Nether Grasses to appear.

It was also the first time that Li Zhi encountered something that gave birth to life in the dead air, so he naturally had to treat it with caution.

The real effect of the Nether Grass is probably beyond his imagination.

Unlike the Holy Spirit Flower, the Nether Grass is not artificially grown, but a special magical medicine bred in the Yellow Springs Pool.

As long as we can eliminate the dead air that corrodes its flesh and retain the purest vitality, we can refine a peerless elixir that will be of great benefit to the soul.

The vitality in a plant of Nether Grass, after being refined into a magic pill, is enough to directly elevate the soul origin of a powerful person to the soul origin level of a great king, which shows its nourishing effect on the soul.

Everyone knows how many benefits a powerful soul has.

Sure enough, after waiting for more than half an hour, another two Nether Grasses emerged from the Yellow Springs Pool.

Looking at the three Netherworld Grasses that were as black as jade orchids, everyone had different opinions on how to pick them.

Pangbo and Big Black Dog proposed to force their way across the River Styx.

Li Heishui and Tu Fei suggested using magic to pick it up from a distance.

Only Ye Fan was constantly observing the terrain around him, trying to find a safe path in this extremely dangerous place.

Seeing this, Li Zhi said, "Let me do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared beside Li Zhi. Then, ignoring the deathly aura in the Styx and the Yellow Springs, he strode over and even reached directly into the Yellow Springs pool to fish out the three Nether Grasses.

Then he returned to Li Zhi quietly, and Li Zhi took out three dark green boxes and sealed the three Nether Grasses.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Tu Fei, Li Heishui and Big Black Dog all looked at Li Zhi's guardian warriors in horror, because they sensed that the Yin energy on the guardian warriors was even more dense and pure than the Yin energy in the Styx and the Yellow Springs Pool.

Li Zhi had no intention of explaining to them. He waved his hand and took away the guards.

The little girl sitting on the big black dog's back blinked her big eyes and said innocently, "That sister is so cool."

"Young Taoist priest, what happened just now?" Li Heishui asked.

"Let's continue on our way." Li Zhi had no intention of explaining and directly reminded everyone to continue on their way.

On the way, Li Heishui approached Li Zhi and said, "Master Li, after you refine the nether grass into a magic pill, can you give me one? We are in the same boat and are friends in life and death."

The big black dog's eyes lit up as well, and he said, "Little Taoist priest, you see, I have already paved the way for you in the Immortal Mountain. You must not forget me when the time comes."

The little girl riding on the black emperor's back also had her eyes brightened and said, "Little brother, are you going to make something delicious? Nannan wants to eat too."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Since I see someone has a share, Nannan will naturally have one too."

After removing the death energy from the three Nether Grasses and supplementing them with other spiritual herbs, they should be able to be used to refine six to nine magic pills.

However, if he wants to refine nine magic pills without wasting any medicinal power, he needs the help of Doctor Wang.

Otherwise, with Li Zhi's current level of alchemy, he could probably only refine the lowest six pills, or even less than six.

The group walked forward for a few more miles, and the grass and trees around them gradually became sparse, and the rocks became more numerous.

Soon we entered a large rocky cliff. The land in front of us became dry and hard, and there were only a few trees.

Continuing to walk further in, under a black stone cliff, everyone discovered several ancient caves dug by humans.

At the entrance of the cave, there are obvious traces of knife hacking and axe chopping, and it is full of the breath of time. It seems that this cave was dug out by monks a long time ago.

Everyone became cautious.

"There is a skeleton there." Soon, they found a skeleton as crystal clear as jade in front of an ancient cave. They didn't know how many years had passed, but there was still a luster flowing on the bones, which looked extremely mysterious.

"This man must have been a peerless master when he was alive, otherwise he wouldn't have left behind jade bones. He entered the Immortal Mountain most likely to extend his life, but unfortunately he died here."

"There is a golden token and an ancient scroll beside him, which are not decayed." Tu Fei has a good eye and immediately discovered the abnormality under the jade bone.

Afterwards, little Nannan led the way, and everyone walked to the ancient cave. The big black dog pounced on it directly, and without saying a word, wanted to take the token and the ancient scroll for himself.

"Dang!" The big black dog grabbed the golden token with its big paws. It was shining brightly but also freezing cold. Endless murderous intent filled the air. It was so frightened that it threw the token to the ground.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the word "kill" with murderous aura was engraved on the palm-sized token.

The killing intent alone was enough to make everyone feel overwhelmed, as if their minds were being torn apart. The killing intent was so strong that it seemed to be stained with the blood of millions of lives, filled with a demonic force.

After seeing the token, Li Zhi frowned, feeling quite unhappy. It seemed that out of his love for life, he instinctively disliked things that were too murderous.

Little Nannan didn't seem to like that thing either, and came straight to Li Zhi.
