Chapter 214 of 9o1o: On the Ancient Wilderness
"Second Uncle, what should we do? The Xu and Lin families are teaming up. And the others are also..." Li Lizheng said anxiously as he watched the Xu and Lin families team up.
He was still somewhat disheveled, but he felt his blood boiling. His chance to turn things around had arrived—a demon seed! A divine object that grants immense power! If he could obtain a demon seed, or even a high-grade one, he would no longer be someone in the awkward position within the Li family.
Wang Chengzhou's heart was also filled with complex emotions. As he watched the green-white cloud disappear on the horizon, a flash of jealousy crossed his eyes. But he also understood that this was something that couldn't be forced.
The verification of bloodlines was likely decided fifty years ago when the five old men were rescued, which explains the appearance of the five giant rocks. This cannot be changed; the current opportunity lies in finding the demon seed.
However, the demon seed actually grew from a demon vine, and that demon vine could also attack. Moreover, the elders actually avoided the powerful demon vine. Wang Chengzhou felt immense pressure.
The road ahead is fraught with peril. Whether or not one can obtain the demon seed depends on luck. If one encounters a decaying demon vine, that would be ideal. But if not, one will have to face a life-or-death ordeal. From this moment on, one's fate is no longer in one's own hands.
Unless... he learns to give up and has his memories erased. But he won't accept that!
"No. There are enough of us! If we really encounter a powerful demonic vine, we'll only be going to our deaths. It has nothing to do with the number of people. As long as we're the only ones, any opportunities we encounter will be ours." Wang Chengzhou said, raising an eyebrow.
When Li Lizheng heard his second uncle say this, he thought it made sense. Everyone was just a mortal, even the guards around him. They couldn't escape the arrogance of mortals. In front of the demonic vine, more people meant more attention, and they would just be going to their deaths.
Wang Chengzhou was indeed very bold in this idea. He didn't want to share the fruits of his labor with other families. Although it involved taking extra risks, opportunity and danger go hand in hand.
Sure enough, Xiao Ruonan shared the same idea as Wang Chengzhou. This woman actually had the audacity to choose a team from the Xiao family for the expedition.
This left Zheng Haixing, who had also intended to join the team, feeling utterly rebuffed. Zheng Haixing was interested in pursuing the proud and arrogant Xiao Ruonan, and he was also very outstanding. But just now, Xiao Ruonan encountered the icy and graceful Xuan Qingying. This ignited a fervent passion within her, making her yearn for the world of plant cultivators and aspire to become a woman as excellent as Xuan Qingying. Her standards for a partner rose even higher; the person she could fall for had to be one of the best among the younger generation of plant cultivators!
She directly ruled out Young Master Zheng. Young Master Zheng was just an ordinary person after all—that was Xiao Ruonan's thought. This woman was truly somewhat insane! She was as capable as any man, having trampled many men underfoot.
Xu Ming and Lin Hongwu formed a team. The two of them discussed that when they encountered a demon, they would take turns deciding who would belong to it, in the order of odd or even. This solved the allocation problem.
In this way, the Xu and Lin families formed one group, the Li family formed another, the Xiao family formed a third, and the Zheng family formed a fourth, making a total of four groups.
No. Zhang Guodong broke away from the Li family's group on his own. He walked to the side and sat down cross-legged, clearly not intending to team up with any of them.
After Yi Qingban flew away, Zhang Guodong was deeply shaken and his blood was boiling.
Using the demonic vine plant to aid in cultivation and becoming a plant cultivator doesn't seem to conflict with his possession of the Peach Blossom Spring Space; in fact, they seem to complement each other.
In Peach Blossom Spring, he tempered his flesh and blood with the mutated Five Elements Fist. He had already broken through to the eighteenth time, but even after breaking through to the twentieth time, he still couldn't compare to Xuan Qingban. The soul pressure generated by that level thirty-two plant cultivator made him realize the enormous gap between them. It was as different as heaven and earth.
Therefore, this greatly impacted Zhang Guodong.
He decided to embark on a journey to find the demon seed as well, to see just how this plant cultivator had become so powerful. After all, there's never a bad thing to become stronger.
He planned to consume the brain bead he had obtained after these people left, to see if it could further enhance his strength. Even a slight increase might be enough to save his life in the upcoming ancient wasteland.
No one knew that he possessed nine brain beads, three large and six small. That was more than any other group of people had.
"Just now, Fairy Xuan said that the Brain Bead is for consumption to improve physical strength. I think we should consume it first!" After the team was formed, Xu Ming took out a small Brain Bead, gritted his teeth, and said to Lin Hongwu.
He had two more beads in his arms, one big and one small, but he didn't dare try the big one first. He'd start with the small one.
Lin Hongwu possessed a brain bead given to him by Lin Xian. Yi Re took one out and, after some hesitation, Xu Mingda, who had been suspicious, took it. Lin Hongwu immediately sat down cross-legged, but he underestimated the power of this small brain bead.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a tremendous force exploded from his brain, his meridians bulged as if they were about to burst. Lin Hongwu couldn't help but scream in agony. The pain was in his bone marrow, in his head, and it came too suddenly. Lin Hongwu slammed his head against the ground with a thud, and his forehead instantly bled profusely.
"Quick, hold the young master down!" Seeing that things were going badly, the captain of the Lin family guards immediately pinned Lin Hongwu down.
But the screams were so terrible that they made Xu Ming and the others, who were about to take the brain bead, tremble. So this is how painful it would be to take the brain bead.
What about taking brain beads?
The image of the three boys' miserable state flashed through Wang Chengzhou and Li Limin's minds again. If they had actually taken larger or smaller brain pearls, they probably would have been burst.
A moment later, Lin Hongwu's screams finally stopped. His voice was terribly hoarse, as if he had been pulled out of the water, and even more so, soft and limp like noodles.
But we finally made it through.
"I'm better now. Although I'm weak, I feel much better! I just need half a day of rest," Lin Hongwu said, still shaken. His voice was terribly hoarse. He had just suffered quite a bit of pain.
Seeing that Lin Hongwu was unharmed, only temporarily weak, everyone gritted their teeth and swallowed a small brain bead. Before swallowing, however, they reminded those around them to hold him down.
Zhang Guodong was dumbfounded.
The transformation of this body was so drastic? He was also impressed by these people's eagerness to become stronger, as they swallowed the brain without hesitation.
He had planned to swallow the large brain bead directly, but upon closer inspection, he decided to play it safe and start with the smaller one.
Zhang Guodong was far stronger than anyone else present, but caution was never a bad thing. A chorus of screams erupted from the scene.
"Huh!" To Zhang Guodong's surprise, Xiao Ruonan gritted her teeth, her body trembling with pain, and didn't utter a sound. However, her originally fair face looked even more pale.
Zhang Guodong couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect. This woman was indeed extraordinary! She outshone many men.
Half a day later, the power of the group that had undergone the brain bead transformation returned to their bodies, making them feel two or three times stronger than before, with inexhaustible strength.
Lin Hongwu was the first to flip and jump up, his agility astonishing even the guards. This demonstrates the significant effect of the brain bead on conductor modification.
"Haha. It really is a good thing! It's a pity that this thing is so torturous." Lin Hongwu said happily. He felt his strength had increased by three times, but the pain was also considerable.
"Young Master Song, Young Master Zheng, Miss Xiao, and what about you?"
"Not bad. We can leave right away!" Xu Ming and the other men stood up excitedly, stretching their arms and legs. That "powerful" feeling was fantastic! Xiao Ruonan, being the only woman, appeared more reserved and aloof, simply nodding in agreement.
"It's getting late, it seems we'll have to wait until tomorrow to set out!" Xiao Ruonan casually reminded them. Then she walked towards her own troops, preparing to set up camp.
Everyone looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the green moon was about to set below the horizon, and the sky was indeed getting darker. Furthermore, time seemed to pass much longer here than outside; this one night would likely allow everyone's bodies to further strengthen.
After all, there were still some brain pearls that hadn't been taken.
I'm so happy. I completely forgot about the time.
As night fell and darkness fell, the crowd dared not leave the square, so they gathered together.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one. Despite the transformation of the first brain bead, which greatly enhanced their physical strength, the power of the second brain bead was still considerable. Its howling and wailing kept everyone else awake.
