Ning Yuan didn't know that in the face of the alien beast royal family's plan to summon the true god to descend, Zhang Tao had already proposed a final alternative plan when everyone could not discuss a feasible and implementable plan. That is, all the true gods of the Dragon Kingdom would lower their cultivation level and become pseudo-gods, enter the cave space, and assist the Dragon Kingdom's ninth-level peak powerhouses to destroy the alien beast's altar and kill the ninth-level peak powerhouse of the alien beast royal family who presided over the altar summoning.
At this moment, he was taking the three brothers of the Xue family, running quickly across the territory of the strange beast's lair, heading towards his destination, where a thousand-year-old demon plant was located.
This was the place he had accidentally discovered when he was at the peak of the ninth level of cultivation while escaping from the pursuit of the alien beast royal family.
Feeling the aura emanating from the demonic plant, he did not dare to approach and chose to turn around and continue to flee. Because those exotic beast royals had been wanting to hunt him down, they did not discover the demonic plant. Moreover, later, those exotic beast royals who were hunting him were surrounded and killed by him and the human strongmen.
So, even though several years have passed, if nothing unexpected happens, this evil plant should still be here and will not be discovered.
Even if they were discovered, ordinary warriors or strange beasts would not dare to provoke him easily.
Now thinking back to the aura I felt at that time, the cultivation level of this thousand-year-old demon plant is at least above the peak of level nine, below the True God realm.
Therefore, with such strength, ordinary people would not dare to easily try to steal the treasures from it.
Especially the life essence of demonic plants!!
It is said that only demonic plants that have cultivated for thousands of years can condense the essence of life in their bodies. An ordinary person only needs a drop to instantly reach the level of a fifth-level warrior.
Regardless of what kind of talent it is, it's a pity that such natural treasures are extremely rare. Even if they are condensed by demonic plants, there are only about ten drops a year.
Therefore, if the other party's lifespan is only about a thousand years, apart from the materials of his own body which have some value, there should not be much of the most valuable life essence.
However, it is a thousand-year-old demon plant after all, and every branch and leaf on it is of incredible value. Even if it is sent to the merit place for exchange, it can be exchanged for a huge amount of merit.
Moreover, Ning Yuan learned from Qin Ming's cultivation, which included a system for making talismans. The bark and leaves of the thousand-year-old demon plant were top-quality materials for refining high-level talismans, and the trunk was also top-quality material for refining spiritual weapons.
In the hands of a cultivator, even wood can be refined into a sharp weapon that can take lives.
He collected his thoughts and looked back. The three Xue brothers had been left hundreds of feet behind him, but they were still trying hard to hold on. They did not choose to give up, nor did they call Ning Yuan to take a rest.
This perseverance alone made Ning Yuan very satisfied.
However, think about it, the three brothers were able to reach the peak of the ninth level of cultivation together. If they didn't even have this little bit of perseverance, it would be impossible for them to achieve such an achievement, let alone be favored by the cabinet elder Zhang Tao and be recruited as his subordinates to do things for him.
Therefore, these three people must have something outstanding.
If he is really a fool, he will not be able to make a name for himself in the underground cave battlefield.
Another half hour passed.
Ning Yuan stopped and waited for a while. Then the three of them caught up with him, panting.
Xue Tian's head was covered in sweat, and his armor was also soaked with sweat.
“Huff…Huff…”
"My Lord, are we…are we there yet?"
When he came up to him, Xue Tian took a few deep breaths before asking.
"No, it will take a few more hours. You have already consumed too much of your internal energy. Hurry and replenish it!"
"Otherwise, if we encounter a strange beast, how will you fight and protect me?"
"I'm going to grab some food. You guys stay here and recover your Qi first!"
Ning Yuan said softly.
The territory of the underground cave nest is very vast. Even Ning Yuan suspects that all the underground cave battlefields are actually connected, but they cannot be crossed because of insufficient cultivation.
Therefore, Ning Yuan originally planned to investigate carefully this time.
However, now that the Great Elder Zhang Tao has sent people to look for him and asked him to return to the human base city to discuss important matters, he can only put it on hold for the time being. It will not be too late to enter and investigate after Zhang Tao's affairs are dealt with.
With his current level of cultivation, there is actually no danger whether he is outside or in the underground world.
"How can we let the adults handle such a trivial matter? Leave it to me!"
"Second brother, third brother, hurry up and recover your Qi. I'll go get some food!"
Xue Tian gave instructions to Xue Di and Xue Ren, then looked around, chose a place deep in the dense forest, and charged straight in.
Seeing this, Ning Yuan did not refuse.
Instead, he sat quietly on the ground, took out a pot of liquor from his storage ring, and drank it in small sips.
Xue Di and Xue Ren were also shocked by his magical skills, but they did not dare to ask questions. They could only choose to pretend that they had not seen it. Instead, they seized the opportunity, sat on the ground, crossed their legs, practiced their skills, and began to recover their true energy.
Just as they were recovering their true energy, Ning Yuan's spiritual consciousness swept across their bodies. With his powerful spiritual consciousness, he could see clearly the martial arts they were practicing.
"Yes, it's actually the advanced Lieyang Gong. If I remember correctly, this technique can be exchanged at the Merit Office and is worth 50 million Merit points. And it can only be exchanged for the first three levels. To cultivate to the sixth level, the next three levels require 100 million Merit points."
"Tsk tsk, these three brothers are really rich. I wonder if they exchanged this technique themselves or if it was given to them by the Great Elder Zhang Tao."
"However, compared to the weakened version of the Star Method I modified, it's still much slower."
"Even the Ancestral Dragon Technique practiced by the Qin Ming family is much faster than theirs."
"If they pass the test, I can consider teaching them the Ancestral Dragon Technique!"
Ning Yuan watched them practice and thought secretly in his heart.
Xue Di and Xue Ren, who were sitting on the ground at this time, did not know that an enormous opportunity was about to come to the three brothers. It depended on whether they had the luck to pass Ning Yuan's test.
An hour later.
The three brothers' true energy was mostly recovered, Ning Yuan was full and satisfied, and they set off again.
The speed did not decrease but increased, becoming one point faster again.
The true energy that the three brothers had just recovered was being consumed at a terrifying rate.
His face turned pale.
However, they had already determined in their hearts that Ning Yuan was a powerful person in the pseudo-god realm, so they did not dare to stop halfway and choose to give up. Moreover, they had no qualifications to give up. Without Ning Yuan's order, no one dared to leave without permission.
In this way, it was not until late at night that Ning Yuan stopped, looked at the towering mountains in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm finally here. I'm back. I hope you won't let me down and can give me some more life essence. It will be worth it for me to waste so much time and travel such a long way to come find you..."
