Chapter 132 Passing the Test and Gaining a Lot

Wan Xu was still desperately using his sword energy in the sea buckthorn bush.

He tried his best to chop the vines that entangled Li Zhenqian.

But his body-protecting true essence had been entangled by more sea buckthorn vines around him, almost crushing the body-protecting true essence.

"If this continues, I'm afraid Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian will also end up like this..."

"Facing this sea buckthorn monster with 5,000 years of cultivation... There is not much difference between the middle stage of foundation building and the perfect stage..."

Lin Chen frowned.

An ordinary sea buckthorn monster is just a small plant, which poses almost no threat.

But at present, this large area of ​​sea buckthorn monsters is probably all one plant...

If you want to kill this sea buckthorn monster, you must cut the grass and destroy its roots...

But by that time, I'm afraid Li Zhenqian has already turned into nutrients for the sea buckthorn monster.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer held back.

Taking out the demon-slaying knife, Lin Chen stepped out dozens of feet and stood shoulder to shoulder with Wan Xun.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, don't panic first... let me do it!"

After saying that, Lin Chen grabbed Wan Xun with one hand and threw him dozens of feet away, leaving the range of the sea buckthorn monster.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!" Wan Xun steadied himself and looked at Lin Chen who was swallowed by the sea buckthorn vines, and panicked.

"Don't worry, I'm sure!"

Lin Chen shouted.

Then the body-protecting true essence burst out suddenly, shaking away the surrounding sea buckthorn vines.

After that, he held the demon-slaying sword, attached the body-protecting true essence to the demon sword, and strode forward.

The sea buckthorn vines almost wrapped Li Zhenqian into a mummy.

But Lin Chen was not panicked at all, and the sword fell with his hand.

The five thousand year old sea buckthorn vines are hard to be hurt by gold and stone, and are not invaded by water and fire.

Not to mention ordinary weapons, even the best magic tools are difficult to cut.

But under the blade of the demon-slaying sword, it was easily cut like tofu.

"Good knife!"

Lin Chen became more and more comfortable with it, and he was happy.

At this moment, he was already under the blessing of the power of the candle dragon, and his physical strength was rapidly consumed.

But his physical fitness was almost doubled.

Lin Chen rushed directly to Li Zhenqian, and then the blade swung.

Swish, swish, swish!

The knife flashed, and the dense sea buckthorn vines were all cut off and scattered all over the ground.

And the unconscious Li Zhenqian was exposed at any time.

Seeing more and more vines rushing up, trying to swallow Li Zhenqian again.

Lin Chen sneered and said, "A mere demon plant, can it still turn the world upside down?"

He grabbed Li Zhenqian and then threw him dozens of feet away.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, catch it!" Lin Chen shouted.

In the distance, Wan Xun hurried forward, caught Li Zhenqian with both hands, and slowly put him on the ground.

He put his hand under Li Zhenqian's nose, and was relieved to see that he was still breathing, but was deeply poisoned.

Looking up at Lin Chen in the sea buckthorn monster bush, Wan Xun widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Brother Xu!"

I saw a lot of sea buckthorn vines, rising several feet high like waves.

The area within dozens of feet seemed to have turned into a brown-green vine ocean.

And in the waves, Lin Chen was quickly swallowed up and disappeared.

Wan Xun was anxious and wanted to help.

But the sea buckthorn monster group was quickly retracted into the desert soil like tentacles.

In just a few breaths, the sea buckthorn monster group that was originally like a green ocean was hidden in the desert, leaving only a bare piece of mud and sand.

Lin Chen disappeared with the sea buckthorn monster...

"Brother Xu!"

Wan Xun looked at the empty everything in front of him and couldn't believe it.

"Brother Xu, you actually saved Junior Brother Li...but we just met by chance..."

Wan Xun shouted a few more times, but still didn't see Lin Chen respond, and gradually became discouraged.

"Even a strong man like Brother Xu, facing such a big monster... I guess it's hard to survive..."

Wan Xun's eyes were full of sorrow, but he was afraid that the sea buckthorn monster would come back, so he quickly fled the oasis with Li Zhenqian in his arms.

He knew that he was no match for the sea buckthorn monster with his strength.

After escaping the oasis, Wan Xun hid outside the oasis for several hours.

After not seeing Lin Chen come out for a long time, his eyes became more desperate, but he had no choice but to leave and headed all the way to the north of the desert.

...

At the same time, deep underground in the oasis.

A brown light flashed around Lin Chen, making him feel like walking on flat ground even in the sand and mud.

Looking around, there were dense and intertwined sea buckthorn vines.

Like tentacles, they were madly wriggling underground...

"Hehe, if it was on the ground, there was really nothing I could do to you..."

"But in this underground, you came to me yourself!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly, performing the earth escape technique of the earth escape technique, and walked quickly underground.

The divine consciousness spread out like a tide, and the roots and vines of the sea buckthorn monster were clearly sensed.

After a moment...

"Finally found... the roots of the sea buckthorn monster!"

Lin Chen was delighted and quickly rushed to the roots of the sea buckthorn monster.

This huge sea buckthorn monster has vines that are inexhaustible and grows fast.

If you want to eradicate it, you can only destroy the rhizomes and hit it hard from the source...

In three or two steps, Lin Chen approached the rhizomes of the sea buckthorn monster.

And the sea buckthorn monster seemed to have sensed the threat, and frantically drove the vines towards Lin Chen.

But deep underground, after all, there is the resistance of the soil, and the flexibility of the vines is far less than on the surface.

Lin Chen held the demon-slaying knife, and the knife fell!

A section of the rhizomes, as thick as an arm and covered with fluff, was cut off by him.

The rhizomes of the sea buckthorn monster are equivalent to its brain and heart!

The rhizomes were taken, and the vines in the land, which were like a group of demons dancing wildly, became uncontrollable and lost their vitality buried in the land.

"Tsk tsk, a five thousand year old sea buckthorn monster! This rhizome... What a strong vitality!"

Lin Chen murmured, and put the rhizome into the nano bag.

"As long as the rhizome of the sea buckthorn monster is not dead, it can continue to grow and reproduce... If it can be tamed and used in battle, it may have the combat power of the Jindan stage!"

"If it weren't for my earth escape technique, this sea buckthorn monster would really be unkillable..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

He turned his head and looked at the other sea buckthorn vines buried in the land, which were so dense that they were countless.

The big ones were more than ten feet long and as thick as thighs, and the small ones were three feet long and as thick as arms.

This vine is an excellent material for refining tools.

It is difficult to be invaded by water and fire, and it is difficult to break gold and stone. It is extremely strong!

Not to mention the best magic tools, even treasure tools can be refined!

"I'm really rich this time!"

Lin Chen simply stayed underground and collected the vines of these sea buckthorn monsters.

After working for several hours, he finally collected all the vines into the purple jade gourd.

These vines alone filled up more than half of the gourd...

After finishing all this, Lin Chen broke out of the ground and returned to the Oasis Lake.

Looking around, he could no longer see Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian.

Lin Chen shook his head and said:

"The rest of the road depends on you...There are still many good things in this relic!"

Lin Chen first spent half a day picking all the spiritual medicines by the lake.

These tens of thousands of spiritual medicines are all five thousand years old.

Including first and second-level spiritual medicines, and even a small number of third-level spiritual medicines...

If it weren't for the protection of the sea buckthorn monster, these spiritual medicines would have become food for the strange birds in the sky and other monsters.

After picking the spiritual medicines, Lin Chen released Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

"You two, go search the ancient town ruins over there..."

"Yes, Master!"

Long Ba and Feng Jiu quickly entered the ancient brick and stone house in the ruins to search.

Although this ancient cultivator town looked quiet, Lin Chen didn't know if there was any threat in it, so it was more appropriate to let the two puppets go to explore.

Lin Chen took the instrument and shared the perspective of Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

After a long time, he was sure that there was no danger before entering to explore.

This ancient town is exaggerated to call it a town.

There are only more than a dozen blue brick houses, and the tables and chairs in the house have long been weathered over thousands of years.

After searching for a long time, Lin Chen only found a few pages of ancient books, and even the words on them could not be seen clearly.

After spending half a day exploring all the ancient houses, Lin Chen still found nothing.

"I wasted so much time, and there is nothing?"

Lin Chen looked a little ugly.

"Alas, five thousand years! Not to mention those objects and ancient books, even the magic tools must have weathered away... Especially in this desert area..."

Lin Chen was talking, and suddenly realized something.

"Wait, since the ancient books in the house have weathered away... Why are these ten brick houses still there?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at these brick houses.

He took a brick from the roof and put it in his hand.

When he took the brick, Lin Chen felt something was wrong. This brick seemed too heavy. The palm-sized brick weighed nearly 100 kilograms.

So Lin Chen took it in his hand and squeezed it hard.

As a result, the brick did not break, but only left a very deep thumbprint.

Lin Chen's eyes widened immediately.

You know, with his current strength, even a medium-grade magic tool can be easily crushed, let alone bricks?

"Hiss... Could it be that the materials used to build these stone houses are all second-level or even third-level ores?"

Lin Chen only felt his heart pounding.

The ores in the world of immortal cultivation are much richer than the exotic metals in the world of high martial arts...

For example, the first-level spiritual ore, cold iron stone, can be seen everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation.

But in the world of high martial arts, it is a noble second-level exotic metal.

The second-level ore, hundred-year iron essence, is considered a fourth-level exotic metal in the world of high martial arts!

And in front of Lin Chen, these dozen brick and tile houses that are more than ten feet high are obviously much more advanced than cold iron stone, at least the same level as hundred-year iron essence...

"Wow, if these are all fourth-level exotic metals? How heavy would they be!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath without any hesitation.

Start to demolish the house!

From the brick and tile roof to the wall, and then to the ground... He even dug three feet into the ground to dig out the foundation of the house!

Lin Chen didn't let go of a single stone and put them all in the nano bag.

In the end, one storage bag couldn't even hold it!

Lin Chen filled three nano bags to put all the stones away.

After putting the nano bag into the purple jade gourd, Lin Chen looked back and smiled with relief after making sure that no land was left behind.

...

After leaving the oasis, Lin Chen headed north.

After walking for about three days, the desert behind him gradually became farther away.

Green grass and big trees began to appear in front of him.

After walking forward for a while, there was a bluestone floor under Lin Chen's feet, and the walls were covered with mysterious patterns.

After a while of shaking, the surrounding vision changed.

"Hmm? Does this count as... leaving the Black Sand Ancient Country?"

Lin Chen looked back, but the desert had disappeared.

Looking at this space again, there are several people who passed the second level assessment earlier than Lin Chen.

Jiang Liqian, Ghost Eye Boy, Wanxun and Li Zhenqian...

And...

"Xu Daoyou!"

Not far away, Li Tianhan greeted Lin Chen.

This bald monk also looked very comfortable, and it seemed that passing the second level was not difficult for him.

After hearing this voice, Wanxun and Li Zhenqian were immediately delighted.

"Brother Xu! You are still alive... That sea buckthorn monster..."

Lin Chen smiled and said:

"I used some life-saving trump cards and barely escaped..."

Wanxun and Li Zhenqian nodded after hearing this, and their excitement was hard to hide.

After Li Zhenqian woke up, he heard that Lin Chen was buried in the oasis to save him, and he cried heartbroken and felt extremely guilty.

"Brother Xu is really a man of high moral character!"

"If you have the opportunity in the future, come to my Changchun Gate and I will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest!"

Wanxun bowed and said.

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit you!"

Lin Chen is the seventh cultivator to pass the assessment of the Black Sand Country.

After all, other cultivators are different from him. They treat monsters as materials along the way, and even want to dig three feet into the ground to find treasures.

Most cultivators are thinking about passing the level quickly.

…

Another day passed.

About thirty more cultivators came to this space one after another.

At the same time, the cold voice came again.

"The second round of assessment is over, and there are a total of 42 people who have passed this round..."

"All cultivators who have passed the assessment can choose to take the reward and leave the ruins, or choose to participate in the third round of assessment."

"The cultivators who leave will be rewarded with a Jinyuan Pill..."

As the voice fell, several more passages appeared in the space for leaving the ruins.

At the same time, the cultivators around were shocked.

"Jinyuan Pill! The reward for the second round of assessment is actually Jinyuan Pill!"

"Hiss... This trip is not in vain! Hahaha, after having this pill, there is hope for Dan!"

"..."

Not only were the other cultivators around shocked, but even Lin Chen was quite moved.

What is Jinyuan Pill?

This is a treasure that can increase the probability of Dan formation for foundation-building cultivators!

It is rumored that one Jinyuan Pill can increase the chance of a cultivator forming a pill by 30%...

The recipe of this pill has almost been lost, and each Jinyuan Pill is worth thousands of gold.

If you spend real money to buy it, you may not be able to buy it even if you spend 100,000 spirit stones!

After hearing the rewards for the second level, most of the cultivators on the field were quite tempted.

Although they came for the third level of Jinyuan Gong, the cultivators still know their own strengths.

With this Jinyuan Pill, there is already a chance to form a pill. If you wait any longer, your life may be in danger.

Li Zhenqian is very self-aware.

He walked to Lin Chen's side and bowed:

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for saving my life many times. If you have time in the future, I hope you can come to my Yanlai City Li Mansion to get together. Zhenqian will definitely treat you as a guest of honor!"

"Alas, but I know my own strength... I am lucky to pass the second level, and I will not ask for more... I will leave early this time."

Li Zhenqian's eyes were full of regret. He may only have one chance like this in his life.

But he also knew that if he continued to pass the third level of the test, he would probably die...

"Then Fellow Daoist Li, please don't pass for now!"

Lin Chen also bowed.

Li Zhenqian knew when to advance and retreat. It was a great opportunity for him to get the Jinyuan Pill...
