Kong Ju's luck was not very good today. He flew for half a day with his virtual vision always open. Apart from a few first-grade spiritual medicines, he did not encounter the Starlight Huairou Grass.

"Bad luck!" Kong Ju muttered to himself.

Shangguan Yuzhou, who was nearby, noticed the lack of interest on Kong Ju's face and roughly guessed the reason for his low interest. He smiled and comforted him, "It's said that the central area of ​​the lake, the area where the dragon's body sank, has the most Star Mang Huairou grass."

"We should be there in two days."

Shangguan Yuzhou's consolation was very effective, and Kong Ju thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Yeah, that's right." After responding, Kong Ju's virtual soul still did not close its vision and continued to spy on the ground from high above.

Anyway, this pupil technique passed down from the Yuxian period does not consume much spiritual energy.

With Kong Jue's current strong spiritual power, there is no problem for him to keep going for a whole day and night.

The two flew for about another hour.

The sun is already high in the sky.

Suddenly, Kong Ju, who was standing on the back of the puppet, had an idea and controlled the puppet to stop flying forward.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards a swamp area less than thirty miles to the left front of them.

In his virtual vision, he could clearly see a faint green spiritual energy fluctuation floating up into the sky from under the swamp.

That kind of spiritual energy is different from the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth, and it contains rich life force.

But if you close the virtual soul vision, you can't see anything.

Shangguan Yuzhou noticed something was wrong with Kong Ju and stopped in the air not far in front of him. He turned his head and asked softly, "Junior Brother Kong Ju, what did you see?"

"It's the fluctuation of the spiritual medicine." Kong Ju answered Shangguan Yuzhou while his eyes never left that area.

Then he added: "The fluctuation is very strong, it doesn't look like a second-grade spiritual medicine."

"Could it be the third rank?" Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes lit up immediately.

The third-grade spiritual medicine is used to refine the third-grade elixir.

Even within the Cangwu Sect, there are not many third-grade spiritual medicines in stock, and each one is the apple of Elder Zhou Shangxiang's eye.

It is conceivable how precious the third-grade elixir is.

"Very similar!" Kong Ju did not say anything certain, because he had never seen a third-grade elixir.

"No matter whether it is true or not, let's go and take a look." Shangguan Yuzhou is already ready to go.

His decision was approved by Kong Ju. Even if it was not of the third grade, the fluctuation of that spiritual medicine was probably of the best quality among the second-grade spiritual medicines. Now that he had encountered it, there was no reason to give up.

The two of them immediately changed direction and headed towards the swamp area.

The figures of the two people continued to descend as they approached their destination, and the speed at which they passed caused strong air fluctuations in the mountains and forests along the way.

Finally they landed in this swamp where the air was extremely humid.

The mud and sand here are very soft, and it is easy to step into it when you step on it.

Fortunately, Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou have strong cultivation bases, and they only need a little help to gain a foothold.

"Where is it!" Shangguan Yuzhou looked at Kong Ju.

The latter's eyes were already fixed on the edge of the swamp, where it connected to the nearby mountains.

There was a three-meter-wide black cave filled with swamp water and a lot of duckweed floating on it.

Without asking any more questions, Shangguan Yuzhou already knew that the cave was most likely the source of the spiritual medicine's fluctuations, and he took the lead.

Kong Ju looked around and made sure that there were no other cultivators around before he followed slowly.

There was no trace of the elixir outside the cave filled with water, so it was obviously inside the cave.

Shangguan Yuzhou was about to step in, but Kong Ju grabbed his shoulder.

The former gave the latter a questioning look.

Kong Ju just shook his head, staring at the pool of swamp water which was not particularly clear.

At such a close distance, he could even smell the slight rotten odor coming from the swamp water.

"It's not that simple. There may be danger inside." Kong Ju used the word "maybe", but after his luck had transformed, he had the ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune, and he clearly sensed the existence of danger in the cave.

Although it was not very strong, it was dangerous, so he stopped Shangguan Yuzhou.

"Junior Brother Kong's worries are not unreasonable. All high-quality spiritual medicines are accompanied by magical beasts." Shangguan Yuzhou tilted his head and thought about it, and gave a speculation that he thought was reasonable.

However, there was no sign of fear on his face, and he said confidently: "But even if it is a Shenglun monster, we can kill it. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"That makes sense."

Shangguan Yuzhou persuaded Kong Ju, and after weighing the risks and benefits, he immediately decided to take the risk.

"Let's go and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of illusory armor like scales appeared on Kong Ju's body.

The art of wearing cold clothes and worshipping snow.

Shangguan Yuzhou also used his sword energy to protect his body.

After all preparations were completed, Kong Ju used puppet refining as the vanguard.

Plop! With two splashes of water, the two men plunged headfirst into the swamp.

The bottom of the cave was larger than Kong Jue had imagined. There was a winding waterway inside that led to an unknown area.

Moreover, the swamp water in the cave was extremely turbid and the light was extremely dim, which seriously affected Shangguan Yuzhou's vision.

Fortunately, Kong Ju had the spiritual awareness cultivated through the Jinming Spirit Refining Method, which could cover an area of ​​seventy feet around him.

And with the guidance of the virtual soul's vision, he can handle this harsh environment with ease, without worrying about being caught off guard by sudden attacks.

The two of them went deeper into the waterway. After about half an hour, they had traveled dozens of miles.

The process was uneventful.

Until they saw a ray of light coming from the top end of the waterway.

"We're here!" The two looked at each other tacitly.

Kong Ju controlled the puppet to rush forward first.

After confirming that there was no danger, he and Shangguan Yuzhou swam out of the area behind the waterway.

Crash!

Accompanied by splashing water.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou broke out from the water.

"This waterway is really long." Kong Ju sighed slightly, then turned his gaze to this hidden area.

This is a huge space similar to a basin, with a circular geographical shape.

Some of them look like dents caused by meteors.

The strange thing was that he and Shangguan Yuzhou had never seen such a place when they were flying high in the sky.

"It should be an independent space opened up by some powerful person." Kong Ju thought secretly.

He looked at the environment of the basin again.

The vegetation inside is extremely lush. A weed that can be seen everywhere in Qinghu Fudi has grown to more than one meter tall here.

The entire basin is full of lush greenery.

In addition, the spiritual energy in this space is much richer than that outside Qinghu blessed land, which is why the vegetation here is so lush.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

His eyes fell to the center of the bottom of the plate.

An extremely conspicuous towering ancient tree stands in the center.

That ancient tree was several times taller than the one Kong Jue had snatched the first Star-Maned Huairou Grass from.

Almost a thousand feet high, the treetops block out the sun.

The bark on its strong trunk is green and scaly, just like the scales of a dragon.

The land around the ancient tree is surrounded by a clear spring, making it look like the center of this space.

When Kong Ju saw the ancient tree, his expression instantly became extremely strange.

Because the source of the spiritual energy of the elixir that he saw through his virtual vision was exactly that ancient tree.

"Is this the elixir?" Shangguan Yuzhou seemed to have guessed something. He pointed at the exaggeratedly large ancient tree with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Even if it's not a magical medicine, this ancient tree has a history at first glance." Kong Ju coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

As thick-skinned as he is, he naturally would not be ashamed because of such a small matter. Instead, he said seriously: "This space is not simple. Go and take a look. Maybe you can find unexpected gains."

Shangguan Yuzhou shook his head and muttered, "I'll keep my mouth shut until I die."

Kong Ju pretended not to hear and walked forward.

Not to mention, he discovered quite a few magical herbs along the way, and even two plants of Star-Maned Comforting Grass.

Moreover, the medicinal power of this Starlight Huairou Grass is much better than that of the outside world.

"You see, this trip is not in vain, right?" Kong Ju put two stalks of Star-Eye Huairou Grass into the Qiankun Bag, and did not forget to smile at Shangguan Yuzhou.

The latter simply ignored it and walked to a position closer to the center of the basin.

But he didn't dare to go too deep.

He still remembered Kong Ju's warning and was afraid of a sudden attack.

After all, this place doesn't look simple at first glance.

Kong Ju collected some elixirs and followed along. He and Shangguan Yuzhou stood at the edge of the giant tree, looking at the towering tree with a look of emotion on their faces.

"This ancient tree is probably thousands of years old."

Shangguan Yuzhou nodded, indicating his agreement with Kong Ju's words, and suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Kong Ju, do you recognize this spiritual tree?"

Kong Ju frowned and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. He replied casually, "It has been too deeply affected by the dragon's evil, and it has lost its original appearance. Who can tell?"

"Even if it was a tree chopped for firewood, it would be unrecognizable after growing this big."

After saying this, Kong Ju looked around with vigilance again, thinking to himself, "I clearly sensed that there is danger here, could it be that my perception was wrong?"

Kong Ju had no idea until he mentioned the miscellaneous trees he chopped for firewood.

Among the endless branches of the giant sunny tree, a cluster of branches trembled.

At the moment when the branch shook.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

"There's danger!"

With their current level of cultivation, they have become extremely sensitive to danger.

The two of them did not make any unnecessary movements. They subconsciously used their respective abilities and prepared to leave the spot.

Shangguan Yuzhou pinched his fingers to make sword gestures, and sword energy covered his whole body.

Kong Ju used the Youxu step. With the help of the Youxu step, his figure became illusory and he was about to disappear on the spot.

The response speed of the two was considered top-notch in the Yanglun realm, but they were still a step slow.

Puff!

Two vine-like objects suddenly emerged from where they were standing and wrapped around their legs.

The terrifying force directly imprisoned them.

Feeling the terrifying force transmitted to his body by the vines on his legs, Kong Ju secretly thought that something was wrong.

At the same time, the bronze halberd was already in his hand.

"Roar!" The sound of a dragon's roar resounded throughout the basin. Kong Ju's body was submerged in spiritual power. He was about to transform into a white dragon and fly into the sky to break free from the control of the vines.

However, the vines that were wrapped around his legs looked ordinary, but there was an indescribable aura surrounding them.

It just shook lightly, lifted Kong Ju up and hung him upside down in the air, and then directly dissipated the spiritual power that he had gathered with great difficulty from his body.

At the same time, the vines also directly dispersed Shangguan Yuzhou's sword energy, making it impossible for them to condense.

With just two simple moves, they suppressed the two men's spiritual power to the point where they were unable to move.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou joined forces and were able to kill Lian Shenglun.

But now they were being treated like toys. The disparity in strength made these two geniuses who rose from Wudong feel very disappointed.

"It's over!" The two looked at each other and saw deep shock and despair in each other's eyes.

"Let's fight!" Kong Ju gritted his teeth and prepared to use the Soul-Calming Bell to make a desperate effort.

A playful female voice suddenly came from the towering tree.

"Who do you say is the stray tree for firewood?"
