Chapter 112 Treasure Hunt in the Secret Realm 1

Zhong Cai immediately patted Wu Shaogan on the back and exclaimed excitedly, "Old Wu, look! What's that?!"

Wu Shaogan also saw it and said with some surprise, "A Starlight Pearl Fruit Tree?"

Zhong Cai's eyes lit up, and she urged, "Old Wu! Closer! Let's go quickly!"

Wu Shaogan and he were in perfect sync; almost as soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Shaogan had already flown over there.

In a flash, the two arrived in front of the small tree, only a little over two feet away.

At this point, it becomes much clearer.

·

The entire sapling was enveloped in a beautiful halo, and the sapling itself seemed to be made of gemstones, revealing a hard texture and reflecting a jewel-like brilliance.

The branches spread out, also of similar texture, winding and stretching out, with a faint beam of light hanging from each bend.

At the very bottom of the beam of light hung a fruit that resembled a star.

The shimmering light was dazzling.

·

Zhong Cai held up her fingers and quickly counted: "One, two, three, four... Old Wu! There seem to be more than two hundred!"

Wu Shaogan's expression relaxed, and joy flickered in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "A-Cai, two hundred and thirty-seven."

Because he had already nurtured his soul consciousness, he could see everything clearly with just a sweep.

Zhong Cai beamed with joy, practically wanting to dance with glee!

·

The Star Glow Pearl Tree is a rare and precious natural treasure, similar to a precious medicine. It grows and matures easily, but it is very difficult to reach a point where it can be harvested!

Once it produces fruit, it begins to exist as a precious medicine. As time goes by, the fruit's medicinal age increases, which also becomes a way to judge its quality.

Regardless of its grade, the Starlight Pearl Fruit Tree possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even if it is forcibly breached, it will most likely self-destruct, disappearing from the trunk to the fruit.

Unless, of course, the impact was so great that the Starlight Pearl Fruit Tree had no time to react and had already lost all its protection.

Just like now.

Because of the falling stars, they descended one after another, streaking across the sky quickly, and when they landed on the ground, they were exceptionally swift, with an extremely terrifying impact.

This caused the Starshine Pearl Fruit Tree's defenses to break, but the tree and the fruit themselves remained intact.

Moreover, it was very fortunate that it was not destroyed during the stabilization of the outer realm—perhaps also because its growing location was very clever, and many shocks from all directions were blocked by other obstacles.

·

All thoughts are fleeting.

Zhong Cai nudged Wu Shaogan and said, "Let's pick them quickly!"

Wu Shaogan naturally had no objection, and so he carried Zhong Cai on his back and squatted down in front of the fruit tree.

then……

Wu Shaogan moved with lightning speed, picking at least a dozen Starlight Pearls in every breath.

Zhong Cai stretched out her arms from both sides and quickly weaved through the many branches.

·

In just a short while, all the fruit was picked.

At that moment, the Starlight Pearl Fruit Tree suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, radiating bright starlight.

In an instant, the entire sapling turned into endless points of light and vanished into the wind.

·

The Starlight Pearl Tree is naturally formed by the stars themselves and cannot be transplanted.

Once all the fruit on the tree has been picked, it will re-integrate into the stars.

Even after many years, the same tree will never grow again in the same location on the same star.

·

Zhong Cai enthusiastically collected the fruit and said, "The Starlight Water we just collected was a top-grade level three, which is very close to level four! The Starlight Pearl Fruit is actually level four, and look, there are a few more that are close to level five."

He was counting and packing at the same time.

"There are 231 level-4 Starshine Pearls. The remaining six can be considered level-4, but they could also be considered level-5."

"Old Wu, look!"

Wu Shaogan naturally followed Zhong Cai's suggestion, looked at each item one by one, and said with a smile, "Although the grade is slightly higher, they are all resources that are very suitable for A Cai's cultivation, so let's not sell them."

Zhong Cai snorted, "Of course."

Although he is only at the Palace Opening stage now, he can still absorb starlight water in small amounts and slowly, so his progress will definitely be rapid!

Keep the rest and use them when the time is right!

·

When practicing the Five Elements and Five Stars Scripture, the main purpose is to replenish the Qi of the Five Elements, which requires the use of Five-Colored Elixir.

This technique also requires communicating with stars of the corresponding attributes and replenishing the corresponding stellar power—this must be done simultaneously after matching the five secret techniques.

However, if one wants to cultivate one or two secret techniques, one must either use only the power of the five elements to perform the techniques, or one needs to supplement with the power of stars that have no attributes, so as not to cause an imbalance of the five elements.

Of course, if you want the secret techniques to be powerful enough, you need to replenish more non-elemental star power—once you have all five secret techniques, you can also replenish star power of the five elements at the same time.

·

Zhong Cai did not replenish her Star Power earlier precisely because she wanted to find suitable resources in this secret realm.

They've only been in the secret realm for a short time, and their wishes have already come true.

The Newborn Secret Realm is rich in resources, and he wishes he could save up enough resources to reach the Palace Building Realm all at once!

·

The two had only been in the secret realm for a short time, yet they had already acquired so many treasures imbued with the power of non-attribute stars, which undoubtedly made them very happy.

Then, Wu Shaogan, carrying Zhong Cai on his back, continued to wander around the floating island.

Zhong Cai climbed a little higher and pointed around: "Old Wu over there! Are those star stones over there?"

Wu Shaogan's brow twitched slightly, and he quickly left.

There is a surviving, standing meteorite, about the height of a person.

Its width is about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and it has a somewhat jagged, rocky appearance.

But both of their attention was focused on the breach in its center.

The opening was so small that it could only be described as a slit as if it had been cleaved by a sword. The inside of the slit was pitch black, and only very occasionally would a glimmer of starlight flash through it.

Zhong Cai was lucky, but also had a sharp eye, which allowed her to capture that starlight in an instant.

Otherwise, the two might have simply regarded it as a broken meteorite and looked around to see if any exotic flowers or plants were growing there.

·

The two moved closer.

The starlight in the crack and tear was very faint, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed present.

Wu Shaogan took a slight step back, and a hard bow appeared in his palm.

It was the Sun-Shooting Bow.

It is also the strongest and most durable bow in Wu Shaogan's possession at present.

Zhong Cai held his breath: "Old Wu, be careful not to get hurt."

Wu Shaogan knew that A Cai was just worried and confused, so he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, A Cai."

Zhong Cai lay quietly on Wu Shaogan's shoulder, not moving an inch.

·

"Bang! Crack! Boom!"

Wu Shaogan raised his bow and brought it down, the front of the hard bow already knocking off a lot of gravel, which he then kicked away.

Zhong Cai's eyes were fixed intently on the surrounding area.

As Wu Shaogan's pace quickened, so did the progress.

Before long, the outer shell of the entire broken meteorite was peeled off, gradually revealing the vast expanse of brilliance deep within.

Zhong Cai's eyes widened.

Without the obscuring outer shell of the meteorite, the beauty of the star stone can no longer be concealed!

It was a silvery-purple stone about the size of a human head, crystal clear, as if countless starlight were emanating from it.

When this star stone was placed on the ground, it truly looked like an extremely small star, making people feel happy at first sight and wishing they could take it home and hide it away.

Zhong Cai felt just that way. At that moment, he propped himself up halfway to touch the star stone.

Wu Shaogan found it amusing and moved even closer.

Zhong Cai scooped up the star stone in one go!

In an instant, a rich stellar energy enveloped his entire body, giving Zhong Cai a beautiful hue.

Of course, because Zhong Cai was on Wu Shaogan's back, Wu Shaogan was also bathed in the glow.

Zhong Cai couldn't help but chuckle: "Old Wu, you've turned purple!"

Wu Shaogan tilted his head slightly, looking at A Cai's pale purple hand draped over his shoulder, and chuckled, "A Cai, you're the same. What did you say before? All purple?"

Zhong Cai immediately slapped his shoulder in an annoyed tone, and at the same time, she put away the star stone.

"You're the one who's all purple!"

Wu Shaogan continued carrying Zhong Cai on his back, casually saying, "I'm happy to be all purple with A-Cai."

Zhong Cai laughed.

"Okay, I'm willing too."

Wu Shaogan's smile deepened.

·

This Star Stone is a level 5 resource.

The resources the two found were increasingly valuable, each one more so than the last.

There are many types of star stones, some with specific attributes and some without.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were so happy and so eager because the Star Stone happened to be attribute-free.

Another rare and precious material has been discovered that can enhance the power of the stars!

This is not for sale either.

Because Zhong Cai needs the power of the stars, most of the resources he acquired this time should be useful to him.

Therefore, these are all resources that need to be accumulated and will not be sold.

·

Next, the two explored the entire floating island.

Along the way, we also picked some rare herbs with star attributes, but most of them were not very high level.

The vast majority are level two or three, but at the very least they can support the refining of level two pills.

These are indeed resources suitable for Zhong Cai's use.

·

Seeing that they had nothing left to gain, the two decided to look for another place.

At this moment, Wu Shaogan, carrying Zhong Cai on his back, stood on the edge of the "island".

Zhong Cai looked around and felt very relaxed.

"Old Wu, let's take a look over there."

Wu Shaogan nodded, took off, and flew away.

Yes, by flying.

White and red flames occasionally burst forth from the ground in the outer secret realm.

If you were to walk on the ground and lose focus even slightly, you could easily be burned by these flames.

Zhong Cai's observation was very cautious. He happened to see several places randomly burst into flames, which either emitted a scorching crackling sound or burned a small patch of meteorites, stardust, flowers, and grass nearby to ashes.

That's terrifying.

Zhong Cai estimated that it should be at least level three or four in intensity.

They certainly have enough defenses, but there's no need for them to be frightened, is there? If Old Wu were to carry him and jump around when those flames appeared, wouldn't that be a bit strange?

Zhong Cai couldn't help but recall some images, and then she shook her head with a strange expression.

·

Wu Shaogan flew swiftly, his movements still incredibly fast.

Every now and then, streaks of light would flash by, or fragments of rock would burst forth like a shower of flowers... all of which were obstacles for the two of them.

Looking down at the surrounding area, the two discovered many signs of digging and harvesting.

Clearly, the other cultivators also gained a great deal, acquiring a considerable amount of resources.

Although there are too many people coming in, at least for now, there aren't many conflicts between them—because the newcomer's secret realm is rich in resources. Instead of fighting with others for a few measly things, it's better to take a few more steps and get more!

Zhong Cai put his arm around Wu Shaogan's shoulder and said, "Old Wu, let's go a little further in."

Wu Shaogan responded, "Okay."

Thus, Wu Shaogan seemed to transform into a streak of light, and had already advanced several hundred miles.

This location is already quite far from the edge of the outer secret realm. If the mountain range were still there, it would have been closer to the central area.

Therefore, the cultivators outside could no longer see their traces with their naked eyes.

At the same time, soul sense is also useless—various strange powers intertwine in the Meteorite Secret Realm, creating obstacles everywhere. It's okay to use soul sense to look around, but it's almost impossible to scan a large area.

·

Wu Shaogan, carrying Zhong Cai on his back, appeared in a place that resembled a canyon.

The two looked up and soon saw the top.

Zhong Cai murmured, "It's like a ball being split in two."

Wu Shaogan nodded in agreement.

·

Indeed, the so-called canyon really looks like a perfectly round meteorite that has been sliced ​​open very smoothly, with a very smooth middle, almost like a mirror.

The "mountain walls" on both sides are round, but upon closer inspection, they are just like normal rocks, with uneven surfaces.

The canyon's "mirror-like walls" are covered with a thin, pale purple, cotton-like layer.

At first glance, it looks as inconspicuous as a light veil.

·

Zhong Cai, however, still noticed it with her sharp eyes.

Wu Shaogan understood it was time to go over after being patted on the shoulder by Zhong Cai.

The two stood in the middle of the canyon.

Zhong Cai peeked out and stared intently at the "cotton wadding."

In order to avoid being unable to recognize what the resources are once they enter the secret realm, the two have already brushed up on a considerable amount of related knowledge.

Naturally, after taking a few more glances, Wu Shaogan recognized him.

The two spoke almost simultaneously: "Stardust."

Zhong Caile laughed: "Finally, a resource that can be sold has appeared."

Wu Shaogan laughed and said, "That's because there are plenty of them all over the mountainside, so there's more than enough to go around."

Zhong Cai: "You're right."

Then, the two of them remained in their current state and began collecting Stardust.

·

Why did Zhong Cai say this thing could be sold?

Because it is a material that can be refined into precious armor!

Stardust is essentially stardust formed from the collision of meteorites and the subsequent tempering process. Due to a series of wonderful coincidences, it forms this flocculent substance.

When using it as the main material to craft a mystical garment, the more of it you put in, the higher the grade of the garment will be.

However, since its own level is only around level five, it can only be used to refine a level five garment at most by investing one hundred catties of it. As for what grade of level five it is, that depends on the craftsman's skill.

The stardust from these two mountain walls is enough to forge two level-five garments. If the quality isn't satisfactory, you can try a few more times!

·

While quickly storing the Stardust into the ancient city's resource library, Zhong Cai kept muttering, "We'll give some to our two masters after we leave. Although the grade is much lower, the finished products will definitely look beautiful!"

Wu Shaogan: "Good idea."

Zhong Cai added, "I think Master Sang will definitely like this kind of material. As for Master Jiang, he may not be so demanding in this regard, but he can give it away as a gift!"

Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "A-Cai is right."

Zhong Cai continued, "We two definitely need to get matching outfits. Just thinking about it makes us look so stylish. When we deliver things to Master, we can ask him to help us find a craftsman."

Wu Shaogan nodded: "Given Master Sang's personality, he will help." His eyes were gentle as he said softly, "I also want to wear matching outfits with A-Cai, so we'll look like a pair of Daoist lovers."

Zhong Cai smiled and said, "That's right!"

With just a few casual words from the two, most of the stardust had already been collected.

Zhong Cai was a little surprised: "It's already over two thousand jin now."

Wu Shaogan consulted with him, saying, "How much do you think we should give to the two masters?"

Zhong Cai said, "Five hundred catties per person. That way, if Master isn't satisfied with the first batch, he'll have several more chances to refine more!"

Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Ah Cai has thought of everything."

Zhong Cai said proudly, "That's right!" He then pondered, "Even if neither of us can be satisfied at once, a few hundred catties each should be enough. After we finish picking, we'll have about a thousand catties left, and it'll be easier to sell them all."

Wu Shaogan: "Hmm."

Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "Old Wu, what do you think? Should we sell the refining materials directly, or find some time to make other Starry Sky Treasure Garments and sell the finished products?"

Wu Shaogan pondered, "Selling the materials directly is easier, but turning them into treasure armor will fetch a higher price."

Zhong Cai was also hesitating about this, so she said, "Why don't you pick one?"

Wu Shaogan said, "Why don't we wait until we've finished searching the secret realm before making a decision?"

Zhong Cai suddenly realized: "Let's see how much of the resources we can get to sell in the end. If we get a lot, we'll sell them directly. If we get a little, we'll try to sell them for a high price."

Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "A-Cai is clever."

Zhong Cai and he praised each other: "Old Wu is also very clever."

The two worked without stopping, and soon all the stardust and shimmering light were collected.

Just as they had estimated, in addition to the two thousand catties they and their masters would need, there were more than three thousand three hundred catties left over.

What a bumper harvest!

·

Wu Shaogan, with Zhong Cai in tow, searched the surrounding area several more times.

This time, we found some rare medicinal herbs of level two or three, and then picked them all.

They are like plucking feathers from a passing goose; they won't let go of even the smallest resource.

During this period, there were times when the two of them gained nothing.

There was nothing there, just around a crater.

A lot of new soil has also appeared in the meteorite crater.

The surface of the crater was pitted and uneven—not by the star itself, but by human hands.

Zhong Cai sighed, "This is really exploiting the people."

Wu Shaogan nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "The craftsmanship is not bad."

Zhong Cai was surprised by Wu Shaogan's response and chuckled.

·

Not long after, the two also found a meteorite crater.

This place was clearly untouched by human hands, and was surrounded by bright starlight, forming layers of light bands that intertwined in a delicate, wispy fashion.

Wu Shaogan cautiously stopped in his tracks.

Zhong Cai squinted to observe—what kind of power did this band of light contain? If they went over, would there be any danger?

If they are going to search for treasure in the meteorite crater, they will inevitably encounter these bands of light.

With a thought, the girl puppet appeared beside Zhong Cai.

Wu Shaogan instructed, "Go and test the power of the light band."

Zhong Cai also said, "Let's also see how the speed and pattern of the light band are."

The puppet girl was following the instructions of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan, so upon hearing the command, she immediately rushed off!

It was so fast that neither Zhong Cai nor Wu Shaogan could see it clearly.

·

The puppet girl was incredibly agile, weaving through the bands of light, sensing their patterns and speed.

The light band couldn't keep up with the puppet girl's movements at all, and it looked as if it was being teased by her, its "hands and feet" helpless and sluggish.

Then, the puppet girl seemed to have made some judgment, and left the range of those light bands. Instead, she stretched out her palm and quickly moved through and retracted it within the light bands.

It seemed as if some force struck the invisible defense, preventing the puppet girl from sustaining any damage.

The puppet girl retreated swiftly, immediately returning to Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's side.

·

Zhong Cai immediately asked, "How is it?"

The puppet girl spoke in a rigid voice, enunciating each word clearly: "The power of the light band is between level four and five, with effects such as burning and explosion. Those who have awakened their enlightenment or are illuminating their light will die if they touch it."

"Its speed is between that of a cultivator who has attained enlightenment and one who has attained illuminating power. If a cultivator who has attained enlightenment has sufficient profound energy and possesses powerful movement techniques, they can escape."

"The movement of the light band is irregular, and its frequency fluctuates. One must react immediately the moment it appears. If the practitioner is careful, they may be able to perceive it immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai immediately understood why no one was digging here anymore.

It's very simple. Because this place is very strange, if a cultivator who has been consecrated and illuminated is not careful, they will be swept by the light band, and if they are swept by it, they will definitely die.

It's possible that cultivators have come to explore before, but most of them either managed to escape by chance or died inside.

·

However, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan are allowed to enter.

Zhong Cai laughed and said, "Our defenses are now officially effective."

Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "A-Cai is right."

Then, Wu Shaogan, still carrying Zhong Cai, quickly entered the light band.

Although it has been confirmed that the level seven defense is definitely not a problem, Wu Shaogan will also take this opportunity to practice dodging with Guang Lai.

As one of the best in the Enlightened Realm, you should really try this "life-or-death escape"!

·

Wu Shaogan did not rush into the meteorite crater, but instead continued to move through the band of light while carrying Zhong Cai on his back.

Zhong Cai lay on Wu Shaogan's back, also sensing the speed of these light bands and trying to understand some of the mysteries of the stars—yes, it didn't matter that he wasn't fast enough, as Wu Shaogan trained and cooperated with him, his mind could run fast enough!

And so, at least fifteen minutes passed.

Wu Shaogan expended a lot of energy, but he did make some progress in his movement techniques, almost reaching the fastest speed that the Enlightenment Realm could sustain.

If you would like to add more...

In order for the physical body to withstand it, the physical body must be tempered.

Zhong Cai was already feeling dizzy and disoriented, so she quickly patted Wu Shaogan on the shoulder.

Wu Shaogan leaped into the crater with Zhong Cai.

Zhong Cai let out a breath.

His comprehension had just reached its limit—in fact, he didn't know exactly what he had comprehended; he had only vaguely gained some insights, but at his current level, he couldn't fully see them clearly.

When he takes another step forward, perhaps in a moment of enlightenment during his cultivation, Zhong Cai will fully understand.

Right now, we've just accumulated some foundation.

·

Once the two reached the crater, they were safe.

The dangerous band of light does not enter the crater, but remains within a specific range.

It can be considered a checkpoint that naturally forms after the secret realm stabilizes. It is used to prevent resources from being arbitrarily seized, and also to test the strength of cultivators who intend to seize resources.

Zhong Cai wiped away a cold sweat and said, "Old Wu, my armlet is almost on fire!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shaogan couldn't help but lift Zhong Cai up a little, carrying him even closer to his body.

Zhong Cai quickly said, "I'm fine. Even if the armlet level isn't enough, I'm still wearing my protective robe."

Wu Shaogan certainly knew, but knowing didn't prevent him from having that subconscious reaction.

Zhong Cai also asked with concern, "Old Wu, what about you?"

Wu Shaogan said, "I was attacked three times."

Zhong Cai's eyes lit up: "Only three times?"

Wu Shaogan said calmly, "It's still a bit too much."

Zhong Cai didn't think so. After all, Lao Wu was only fast in the Enlightenment Realm, but the speed of the light band was almost level four. Moreover, Lao Wu had to be able to immediately detect the appearance of the light band, which already caused a slight delay... Even so, he only got hit three times, which was already very impressive!

Seeing that his old man was actually going to reflect on his actions, Zhong Cai immediately said, "Hey, old man, are you mocking me?"

Wu Shaogan was taken aback.

Zhong Cai retorted unreasonably, "You only won three times, while I've won countless times. Why are you being so stubborn? What are you doing if not mocking me!"

Wu Shaogan: "..."

Zhong Cai said arrogantly, "Don't you dare laugh at me!"

What else could Wu Shaogan say? Was it normal that he couldn't avoid the Palace of Rebirth?

He understood Zhong Cai's intentions, so he immediately reflected on his actions.

"I understand, A-Cai. I won't make fun of myself anymore."

Zhong Cai was finally satisfied.

"That's right! Quick, let's walk towards the meteorite and go find the treasure!"

Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Okay! I'll listen to A-Cai."

Then, Wu Shaogan flashed around and approached the meteorite even faster.

·

This meteorite is very large, at least several tens of feet in diameter.

The closer the two got, the more they realized their own insignificance.

Zhong Cai looked up, but could not see the top of the meteorite.

The entire meteorite exuded a strange power, with a slight burning sensation.

Zhong Cai reached out and pulled a vine-like thing from a crevice at the bottom of the meteorite.

"Starlight vines can be juiced."

Wu Shaogan chuckled and asked, "Ah Cai, do you want a drink?"

Zhong Cai said matter-of-factly, "This stuff is level three, so it's definitely not for me to drink."

Wu Shaogan: "..."

·

Perhaps because it faintly echoes the band of light, many starlight vines are growing in the crevices of this meteorite.

Starlight Vine is a unique and precious medicinal herb available in various grades. Its juice, when extracted and mixed with other precious herbs, can be used to make various medicinal soups with different effects.

All these formulas have one fundamental function: body tempering.

Cultivators primarily focus on their Dao Palace, Yuan Soul, and Companion Treasures. Once they reach a certain level, as long as their Yuan Soul remains intact, their flesh and blood can regenerate. Therefore, most cultivators refine their bodies as their cultivation level increases, without deliberately honing their skills.

The stronger one's physical body, the higher the potential for improving one's agility.

No matter how much they improve, cultivators who have awakened their spiritual power can never reach the speed of cultivators who have attained enlightenment. They cannot advance to a higher realm; at most, they can only get very close to cultivators who have attained enlightenment, which makes them somewhat useless.

In most cases, if one hones their movement technique to the limit of that realm, they will already surpass countless other cultivators of the same realm.

However, there will always be those who refine and polish it.

In battles between some of the most gifted individuals, a slight difference in speed can determine the victor.

...However, time is limited. Even many of the most talented individuals are only the fastest within their own realm, not those who surpass it, because they spend more time improving their secret skills and learning more secret techniques to increase their combat options.

·

Starlight Vine is an indispensable ingredient in many body-tempering decoctions and is an important component of the "Star Tempering" series.

If it is a level three vine, it is suitable for cultivators who have been enlightened.

Of course, this thing is definitely not meant to be "drunk".

It can only be soaked, not eaten...

·

To ensure his physical body wouldn't collapse, Wu Shaogan was at the fastest level of enlightenment, with a faint but ever-present opportunity for improvement. However, he always suppressed it with his powerful control because the timing was inappropriate.

He will definitely work on his physical fitness when he goes back this time.

Although there might not be enough time, Wu Shaogan would have spent some time figuring out the purification talisman anyway... He could easily multitask, drawing the talisman he already knew by heart while soaking in the medicinal soup.

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan joked with each other as they walked around the meteorite.

They decided to dig up all the starlight vines!

These vines all grow in the crevices of the meteorite, but not in every crevice. Furthermore, their souls are affected by the power of the stars and cannot penetrate deep into the meteorite, so the two of them have to search with their naked eyes, which is quite troublesome.

Fortunately, both of them were lucky.

After picking the level 3 vines, I found level 2 vines a few steps later.

Wu Shaogan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah Cai, it seems we can 'drink' together now."

Zhong Cai snorted: "Then you should thank me for keeping you company."

Wu Shaogan chuckled: "Yes, yes, I am extremely grateful."

Zhong Cai listened and laughed.

In fact, he also decided to work on improving his physical body.

Besides wanting to increase his speed, another reason is that he will definitely be dealing with wood and fire all year round in the future. If his physical body is stronger, he won't feel so hot when the wood and fire are released!

·

The two of them spent more than an hour just searching for the starlight vines around the bottom of the meteorite.

Then, Wu Shaogan carried Zhong Cai and grew ten feet taller, continuing to explore the many gaps.

Starlight vines need space to grow. They are like serpents, their bodies winding and coiling inside the meteorite. But no matter what, they are still plants and need a certain amount of space to stretch their bodies.

Therefore, the distance between each vine usually needs to be more than one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Of course, there could be exceptions, or perhaps the vines are intertwined and stretch outwards from top to bottom.

However, for the two of them, it would definitely be more convenient to follow this method.

·

After walking about ten or so feet, the two circled the gap but found no more starlight vines.

Zhong Cai reached out and touched the surface of the meteorite, his expression shifting slightly: "Old Wu, it seems the power inside has changed."

Wu Shaogan nodded: "It's no longer suitable for the growth of starlight vines."

They both laughed and said almost simultaneously, "That should have given rise to other kinds of resources."

·

Both of them were quite satisfied with the number of starlight vines.

Basically, for every ten feet of meteorite distance above them, they could find more than ten vines.

I currently have a total of 165.

Fifteen of them are level two vines, ninety-eight are level three vines, forty-five are level four vines, and seven are level five vines.

If used for body tempering, it can easily allow you to progress through several realms in a row, which is more than enough.

Moreover, once they've finished using them, both of them should have developed a resistance to this series of herbal decoctions.

We need to switch to a new type.

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan slowly searched for new resources.

From the surface of the meteorite, it is no different from the previous one; there are no vines growing in the crevices, and nothing else is visible.

Zhong Cai carefully placed his palm on a certain part of the meteorite's surface, slowly probing in with his profound energy, following the touch to search for a certain trajectory.

Wu Shaogan did the same thing.

Enveloped in Wu Shaogan's profound energy, Zhong Cai searched quickly and carefully.

Wu Shaogan's profound energy is more extensive and more precise in its manipulation, while Zhong Cai's profound energy is more sensitive to treasures that can be used in medicine.

Working together makes it more efficient.

As the two continued their exploration, Xuanli suddenly sensed something unusual.

Zhong Cai immediately said, "Old Wu, over here!"

Wu Shaogan responded, "I'll dig up the surface."

Zhong Cai thought for a moment and then took out a dagger.

This dagger is level four.

Wu Shaogan took the dagger and began to draw a mark in the direction indicated by the Xuan power.

Enclose that area.

Zhong Cai took a deep breath, very alert.

Wu Shaogan twisted his wrist, and the dagger pierced through with a "thud"!

Then, he slowly dug away the outer layer of stone, and small stones fell down in a flurry.

Zhong Cai could feel that the temperature inside was gradually rising.

But this isn't surprising; the interior of a star naturally contains heat...

·

About fifteen minutes later, Wu Shaogan had cleaned up all the meteorite fragments in the circle he had drawn.

The resources that the two had discovered were now laid out before them.

It was a fiery red stone.

It seemed to possess no stellar power, but rather pure, fiery power.

Zhong Cai carefully examined it.

What is this...?

Wu Shaogan also observed carefully, and at this moment, he released a little bit of his soul power.

Since the resources have already been exposed, the stellar power within the meteorite has little impact, and the soul's essence can be probed out slightly.

The soul's thoughts enveloped the fiery red stone, and vaguely, it felt as if there was another layer of stone shell.

Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment and said, "A-Cai, let's try removing another layer."

Zhong Cai thought for a moment and agreed, "Old Wu, be careful and don't get hurt."
