Ascension Through Generations

The space in the backpack was limited, so Zhao Sheng picked and picked, and finally decided to put the nine most valuable elixirs in it, including red fire mushroom and the thousand-year elixir.

He did not intend to take away the other elixirs.

Because wearing them would affect his body's flexibility.

In such an extremely dangerous place, sometimes moving a little slower can be fatal.

Zhao Sheng hasn't brought "Hope" back yet, so naturally he won't lose the big because of the small.

While he was busy digging for the elixir, a fishy smell suddenly rolled over from the clouds. Zhao Sheng let out a startled cry, slumped, rolled, and rushed towards the hiding place that he had already spotted.

As soon as they took cover, there was the sound of flapping wings above their heads. He glanced outside, and what landed on the slope was the Blood-Winged Flying Lizard he had seen before.

This blood-winged flying lizard looks seriously injured, its dark red horn scales are in pieces, there are countless wounds on its body, and its expression is dispirited, and it seems to have a strong purpose in coming here. After landing, he did not look around, but directly found a tree root, stretched out his front paws, and dug down along the root.

That happened to be the place where the Red Fire Zhizhi grew. Zhao Sheng was not afraid of the demon bird discovering it, and he had a strong curiosity in his heart.

The Bloodwing Flying Lizard's claws were sharp, and it quickly dug several feet deep, revealing the soil below. This guy took out a handful of soil with great skill, and swallowed it directly into his mouth, without even chewing it. .

Maybe this "soil" really has medicinal effects. After swallowing this stuff, the flying lizard became energetic. With a loud cry, it spread its wings, fanned out a strong wind, and flew away.

Eat dirt?

Zhao Sheng jumped out of his hiding place and ran to the soil dug by the flying lizard. He looked carefully and saw that there were scattered rhizomes remaining in the deep pit and the soil was dark brown.

Other than that, nothing unusual was found.

Zhao Sheng felt strange. He reached out and grabbed a handful of soil from the pit, put it under his nose and smelled it.

Huh?

There was a faint aroma emanating from the soil. The smell was really light. Zhao Sheng had to have a nose more sensitive than a dog to detect it.

He tried to lick the dirt in his hand, and it tasted extremely bitter.

Zhao Sheng suddenly had a thought in his mind: "Could this be the legendary medicinal mud?"

There has been a theory of medicinal mud in the world of immortality since ancient times. It is said that when no one picks the elixir, it will naturally wither and die. After thousands of years of decay and weathering, it will turn into soil with medicinal properties. After countless tens of thousands of years of accumulation, a medicinal mud will be formed. Stacking layers of medicinal soil will gradually produce a "medicinal mud" that can accelerate the growth of elixirs.

This kind of medicinal mud contains some medicinal effects and can be swallowed as an elixir, but it is far inferior to its "ripening" properties.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng was extremely excited and began to dig around on the slope quickly.

An hour later, the slope became bumpy. At this time, Zhao Sheng stood up with a mixed expression.

At this time, he discovered that this slope was not all filled with medicinal mud. In fact, there were only traces of medicinal mud within a foot of the roots of dead trees.

But he discovered something that shocked him.

There are no big trees on this slope, but there is a remaining root system of big trees.

Judging from the results of the excavation, the dead tree roots protruding from the ground are just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the roots are buried under the earth and rocks, and extend in all directions, not only completely occupying the entire slope, but even spreading to the surrounding cliffs. .

Zhao Sheng could not imagine how such a huge tree could grow in such a dark place, and what a giant tree it would be if it still had such a root system!

For unknown reasons, the big tree has been broken, and it may have fallen into the bottomless abyss. Most of the remaining root system has died, but a small part remains, creating a unique ecosystem here. At the same time, The dead roots also turned into pieces of medicinal mud, becoming nutrients for the growth of countless elixirs on this slope.

With such a rare thing as medicinal mud, Zhao Sheng spent another hour using the dug out medicinal mud to carefully apply the nine elixirs tightly.

This not only ensures that the efficacy of the medicine is not lost, but also prevents the spread of the medicinal fragrance from causing unpredictable dangers.

Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, turned back to the slope, used his dagger to cut off a small section of the tree root that looked more "fresh", and put it in his backpack.

After leaving the slope, Zhao Sheng began a long journey of finding a way.

One good thing about Tianzhu Mountain is that as long as you climb sideways, you will always go to the other side of the mountain.

In fact, Zhao Sheng did the same thing.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Sheng finally broke free from the place of death and saw the sun and sea of ​​clouds again.

By this time, he was covered in cuts and bruises and his clothes were in rags.

No one knows what hardships he went through during this period. As for this experience, Zhao Sheng also kept silent and avoided talking about it.

…

A few months later, by the Lishui River, a roar suddenly came from the ancestral hall of the Zhao family manor:

"Kneel down for me!"

Zhao Sheng looked at his dissatisfied son with an angry look, and his head hurt with anger.

Plop! Zhao Chengliao, who was tall and muscular but had an unusually delicate appearance, simply knelt down in front of his father.

"Dad, I know I was wrong!"

"Bah, you know you are wrong! Over the years, your mother and I have spoken sincerely about you countless times. How have you changed your mind?"

"After decades of practice, you can reach the third level of Qi refining. And your wife is only a five-spirit waste root, but she is already at the fifth level of Qi refining. A four-spirit root is not even as good as a waste spirit root.

Tell me quickly, did you secretly give her the Lingyuan Pill again? "

Zhao Sheng, who is already over seventy years old, still speaks with a loud voice and full of energy.

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He picked up the family cane and slapped his son on the head and face.

Zhao Chengliao has been promoted to the innate realm, his body is rough and thick, and he doesn't care about the pain in his flesh.

While he knelt down and was being beaten, he defended: "Dad, you also know that I have been unable to sit still since I was a child and dozed off whenever I practiced. Anyway, it is a waste for me to take Lingyuan Pill, so I might as well give it to Qingqing."

The Qingqing in Zhao Cheng's mouth was named Han Qingqing, who was born with a waste spirit root.

Well, her father is Han Xuanwu.

It is said that more than ten years ago, Zhao Sheng and Han Xuanwu escaped from death at the hands of Fu Yanqing.

Zhao Sheng was fine, but Han Xuanwu got lucky because of it.

Because he promptly reported to the Ziyang Sect that the demons from the Earth Flame Palace killed and disguised themselves as Ziyang Sect disciples, and set up a trap on Tianzhu Mountain to kill people and seize the treasure.

Therefore, he was able to join the Ziyang Sect.

Later, he was accepted as a disciple by a late-stage foundation-building monk because of his talent in cultivation. From then on it was out of control.

In just over ten years, he was rapidly promoted from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

At that time, Han Xuanwu was very grateful for Zhao Sheng's life-saving grace and visited him many times.

The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and finally Han Xuanwu betrothed his daughter to Zhao Cheng, and the two families simply became in-laws.
