Longevity starts with learning

"The secret realm... should have appeared in the world..."

As he walked along, Chu Mu had such a judgment in his mind.

Based on what he saw along the way, this was a certainty.

With such a rich spiritual energy in the secret realm, if it had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, most of the trees, flowers and plants in front of him would probably be rare treasures that are rarely seen in the outside world.

Although it is extremely difficult for plants to break through their own growth cycle, it is nothing more than a matter of probability.

Under the huge number, it is inevitable that they will appear.

In an environment that has been isolated from the world for a long time, under the law of the jungle where the fittest survive, it is inevitable that they will appear everywhere.

After all, if a tree that exceeds its own growth cycle appears in the forest, it will inevitably occupy the growth space of other plants.

Other plants, if they can survive, can obviously only be spiritual plants.

In front of him, although there are spiritual plants that exceed their own growth limits among the flowers, plants and trees, they are only individual cases, not common.

There are no signs of destruction and mining in this forest.

This is undoubtedly not in line with common sense.

Unless, this secret place has appeared in the world before, and a large number of immortal cultivators have descended...

Thinking in his heart, Chu Mu looked at the tree in front of him. Compared with other nearby trees, this one is much thicker, and the bark texture is also much more delicate.

Under the coverage of the divine consciousness, it seems that the fluctuation of its spiritual energy can be clearly sensed.

"Cangtong tree..."

After a little recognition, the name of the tree has emerged in his mind.

The Cangtong tree has a wide range of uses, but in the world of immortal cultivation, its most common use is to make boats.

It is worth mentioning that the Cangtong tree itself is a cultivated spiritual plant. Its normal growth cycle is about 30 years, and then it is a reincarnation of 30 years. With each reincarnation, the value of the Cangtong tree becomes more and more rare.

The most precious Cangtong wood is the wood in the innermost ring of the Cangtong wood ring, which is usually called the wood heart.

In many markets, most low-level flying boats are made of this wood heart as the main material.

The age of the tung tree in front of him was at least a hundred years old, and it had already crossed several growth cycles. In the outside world, it was obviously a rare treasure for him.

Chu Mu touched his arms and took out a piece of storage talisman from the pile of storage talismans that he had prepared at great expense. The Minghong knife appeared, and in just a short breath, the tung tree in front of him shed its skin and turned into a round wood like jade.

"One hundred and fifty years..."

He identified the annual rings, then cut the heart of the tung tree into several pieces and threw them into the storage talisman.

Looking at the surroundings, most of them were some spiritual plants of young age, and some secular materials.

The judgment in his heart has become more and more certain.

Out of the valley, there are mountains, which are quite similar to the terrain of the former Jade Emperor Valley.

However, outside the Jade Emperor Valley are secular mountains, and outside this valley...

The emerald dragonfly is suspended, and the picture taken by the photo stone is clear and flowing.

The surrounding peaks are all very clear.

But in the mountains...

There are many monsters...

Chu Mu looked back at the quiet valley, and his heart trembled.

The valley was peaceful.

The valley was full of monsters.

What does this prove?

It proves that there must be an extremely powerful monster in the valley, which shocked all the monsters outside the valley.

And Wangcai was in the valley just now, but he didn't notice it...

In other words, the monster left temporarily, or was it good at hiding its breath?

"So, someone is preparing to kill this monster, or is there any treasure in it?"

Chu Mu thought silently, the world of monsters is obviously the naked law of the jungle.

Monsters with strong cultivation and strong combat power occupy the best spiritual veins and the places with the richest spiritual energy, and the places with the richest spiritual energy are obviously the most suitable environment for the growth of natural treasures.

In addition, monsters are extremely sensitive in instinct. If there is a treasure in that place, the monster instinctively feels that the treasure is good for itself, so it will naturally guard the place where the treasure is and wait for the treasure to mature.

Therefore, the saying that monsters guard the treasures of heaven and earth is also widely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation.

Chu Mu subconsciously looked back at the end of the valley, and was a little moved. If the monster really left temporarily, then...

Monsters are full of treasures!

Flesh, bones, fur, and even souls are all top-grade spiritual materials.

And the treasures guarded by monsters...

A monster that can occupy the valley alone and make other monsters dare not approach it is obviously not a first-level monster.

Can the treasures needed by a high-level monster be ordinary?

"Boom!"

"Roar..."

While Chu Mu was thinking, at the end of the valley, accompanied by a roar, a soul-stirring roar followed!

"Woo woo woo..."

Wangcai slightly bent his front legs and stared at the end of the valley. When he whimpered, his body trembled a little.

Fear...

Wangcai's emotional fluctuations were very clear.

In the field of vision, there was only a faint flickering light, and a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy seemed to be perceptible.

The distance was too far, and it was difficult to see the specific situation, but it was obvious that at the end of the valley... there was a fight, and among them, there was a monster...

Chu Mu raised one hand, and the two emerald green dragonflies around him flew to the left and right, towards the place where the noise came from in the valley.

"Wangcai, come here."

Chu Mu shouted in a low voice, and quickly followed the way he came, heading towards the valley.

Wangcai followed closely behind, one man and one dog, restrained their breath, and finally hid in the forest on one side of the valley exit.

The distance was still far, and it was difficult to see the situation clearly with the naked eye, but it was within the range of the bamboo dragonfly's spiritual sense.

At this moment, two emerald green dragonflies, one on the left and one on the right, both stayed on the treetops, blending with the color of the treetops.

Whether it was the naked eye or the spiritual sense, it was difficult to detect the existence of the dragonflies.

In Chu Mu's spiritual sense, there were two heavenly eyes, one on the left and one on the right, monitoring the pool at the end of the valley.

All the scenes, through the monitoring of the bamboo dragonfly, were reflected in his mind very clearly.

At this moment, the most conspicuous thing at the pool was a dark giant snake with a very shocking visual effect.

The giant snake hovered above the pool, and just the part of the snake body raised up was more than ten meters high.

Around the pool, dozens of immortal cultivators seemed to be in some kind of formation, besieging the giant snake.

There were constant roars and radiant lights. Facing the methods of the immortal cultivators, the giant snake was obviously not used to them and looked extremely stiff.

But the majestic aura of the giant snake proved beyond doubt that it was a second-level monster.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary second-level monster.

Chu Mu looked at Wang Cai, who was trembling beside him, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Wang Cai had faced foundation-building masters before. In the Shuitianfang market, in the surrounding black markets, and even when he entered the secret realm, he had never been so afraid of the powerful mid-stage foundation-building masters.

Obviously, it was unlikely to be due to cultivation, but... bloodline?

So, this giant snake had an extraordinary bloodline...

Chu Mu looked at the dozen immortal cultivators who were besieging the giant snake. Their uniform water-blue robes clearly showed their identities.

Donghu... Xie family!

The fluctuations of the magic power in the fight were very clear, and the cultivation of the people present was almost clear at a glance.

Every member of the Xie family has perfected their Qi training, and there are even several immortal cultivators among them, whose physical training is obviously not bad.

Nine immortal cultivators formed a formation to fight against the giant snake. Each of them has a magic weapon, which is both offensive and defensive.

Outside the formation, there are three immortal cultivators wandering around, obviously ready to make up for the shortcomings of the formation at any time.

Outside the formation, there is another immortal cultivator sitting cross-legged, with his eyes slightly closed, and a beast skin talisman has been suspended in front of him.

Chu Mu is obviously not unfamiliar with beast skin talismans.

He also has a talisman!

Although the terrifying momentum on the talisman is far away, it can be vaguely sensed through the bamboo dragonfly's peeping.

And the man is still frantically infusing magic power into the talisman, and the power of the talisman is still increasing, waiting for the moment of complete explosion.

Although the giant snake was not very adaptable to the fighting of immortal cultivators at first, the instinct of the monster beast was obviously to adapt.

The powerful body of the second-level monster beast was almost invincible.

The magic attacks only left a shallow white mark on the body of the giant snake. Only the rampage of the top-grade magic weapon could leave a few blood marks, but it was obviously far from being fatal.

And the giant snake's body moved casually, which was like a mountain falling on its head.

The broken corpses on the ground clearly proved the strength of the giant snake.

Chu Mu could see clearly that if the formation formed by the nine people was not strong enough to bind the giant snake in the pool, the group of Xie family cultivators would probably have been wiped out at the beginning of the battle.

The battle situation in the field was undoubtedly very clear.

The Xie family cultivators bound the giant snake with the formation, and the talisman treasure was accumulating power in the back. All their hopes were obviously on the talisman treasure.

If the talisman can do its best to seriously injure the giant snake, or even kill it instantly, the cultivators of the Xie family will have a chance to survive.

Otherwise...

Chu Mu estimated the distance and began to wonder if he should stay away from here, so as not to get himself into trouble.

It was a bit mysterious whether such a terrifying second-level monster could escape.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred above the pool.

The giant snake, which had been fighting with its monster body, showed its fangs, and then spit out a mouthful of scarlet venom.

The place affected by the venom was corroded in an instant. The original nine-person formation, under this mouthful of venom, three of the cultivators, including the people and the magic tools, were all corroded cleanly.

Although the Xie family cultivators wandering behind filled in the position in time, the formation that had originally entangled the giant snake steadily was obviously completely out of control under this sudden change.

The giant snake roared, its body stretched out over a hundred meters, and its tail swept across. The nine cultivators who had been holding on were like nine sandbags, flying backwards one after another.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the floating talisman seemed to have finally accumulated enough power, accompanied by the man's low shout.

A silver giant sword also suddenly took shape and fell from the sky, like a magnificent power, the sword pointed directly at the rampaging giant snake...
