The Gobi Desert is sinking, and news that the aphrodisiac liquid in the ancient ruins has merged into the underground river quickly spread in northern Jingzhou.

Although Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce sent a large number of disciples to occupy various wellheads and ponds, there are still many fish that slipped through the net. Everyone knows that this is a great thing, and ordinary people call it sacred water, which is used by every household. Tibetan.

The Canglang Sect and the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce divided their forces into two groups, collecting fairy liquid from the underground river below it, guarding the wellheads and reservoirs that lead directly to the underground river, and searching for privately stored spiritual liquid from house to house. , those who are found to have hidden possessions are often exterminated.

For a time, everyone was in danger, and most of them took the initiative to hand over their private belongings.

Tang Ning returned to Niutoushan and found that a dark green spiritual liquid was gushing out from a deep cave in the mountain, mixing with the clear water, and the color was extremely weird.

Jingbei Mansion is not far from Zuoyi County, and Niutoushan is located at the junction of Zuoyi County and Lipo County. But he didn't expect that the green spirit liquid would flow here. He was about to put the pond water into storage. In the bag, she suddenly saw a three-foot-tall round object slowly floating out of the water. It looked like an egg shell of some kind of animal. Tangning quickly picked it up and held it in her palm.

There was just a cracking sound, and the eggshell shattered in his hands. A small head protruded from the eggshell, squeezing it left and right. After struggling hard, the whole body broke out of the shell, and it was a pure white little head. The snake, only three inches in size, jumped from his palm to his shoulder, crawled around his neck, and spit out its scarlet tongue from time to time.

Tangning looked at the eggshell in her hand and fell into deep thought. When the eggshell emerged from the bottom of the water, there were two possibilities.

One is an egg laid by a big snake at the bottom of the tunnel, which floats to the surface due to the impact of the spiritual liquid in the underground river.

Both, this eggshell was originally hidden under the ruins, and followed the spiritual fluid into the underground river and drifted here.

If this is the case, then this little snake is most likely a spiritual beast.

Tang Ning thought for a while and decided to ignore it for now. She put a pool of spiritual liquid into a storage bag and returned to the cave to start studying the efficacy of this spiritual liquid.

He took out a clear dew grass seed from the storage bag, buried it in the ground, poured some of the ghostly green liquid from the dry well, and waited for a long time, but there was no change in the clear dew grass seed.

At first, he thought that the amount might not be enough, so he poured some more, until he poured as much as a copper basin. The spiritual liquid soaked an area of ​​one foot around, but no change was seen.

It seems that it is not a matter of quantity, he thought to himself, and at night, he poured some spiritual liquid into the Qinglu grass seeds.

For a period of time after that, he stayed at home and concentrated on studying the effects of this spiritual liquid, pouring some spiritual liquid in the morning, noon and evening every day.

After half a month, the seeds of Qinglu grass finally sprouted.

Tang Ning looked at the bud and held her chin in deep thought. The little white snake was swimming around his neck. The little guy was extremely energetic and tireless. It circled around him all day long, either on his neck or on his neck. Wandering between arms.

Sometimes Tang Ning took the trouble to grab it and put it on the ground. It immediately jumped up and jumped into his palm.

Obviously, this little guy is definitely not an ordinary white snake. Ordinary snakes do not have such energy, nor can they leap with such strength at such a size. There is no doubt that this little guy is a spiritual beast, and it is most likely something sealed in the ruins.

Because there has never been any precedent for the existence of spiritual beasts in the Xingang land, there have never been any signs of demonic snake activity in Niutou Mountain.

He has been working in the herbal medicine department for more than 20 years, and he knows the growth cycle of clear grass very well. Generally, it takes about two months for clear grass seeds to sprout. Now it only takes half a month to grow. It should be this ghostly green spirit liquid. effect.

This spiritual liquid does have the effect of catalyzing vegetation, but compared with the green spiritual power in one's own body, the effect is vastly different.

As for the wild vegetation outside that has been soaked in spiritual liquid, it is easy to explain. Grass and trees have no spiritual power, so the effect is significant. Just like the green spiritual power in one's own body, the higher the grade, the stronger the spiritual power concentration of the elixir and grass. The effect is weaker.

Just one Qinglu grass can't explain anything, and more comparisons will be needed. Tang Ning took out various medicinal herb seeds and buried them in the ground, pouring the spiritual liquid on them every day to observe their changes.

While he was intoxicated with soul fluid research in the cave, the Canglang Sect and the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce were searching the counties in northern Jingbei, especially Zuoyi County. Almost the entire county was razed to the ground, every household was driven away, and the old man was carried on the wild road. After Fuyou escaped from Jingbei, the Canglang Sect and the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce sent people to guard each intersection and search one by one. Anyone who was found hiding the spiritual liquid would be exterminated at every turn.

For a time, corpses were everywhere in the land of Jingbei. This lasted for about a year. The two families dug up and down the ground in Jingbei and searched for them, and finally left.

On the second day after Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce left, Qianyizong and Baoxing Chamber of Commerce arrived and took over the territory of Jingbei.

Tang Ning was practicing in the main room with his eyes closed when a transmission note floated in front of him. He opened his eyes and took the transmission note. Knowing that Zhao Bao was here, he left the cave.

"Tang Immortal Envoy, your noble ancestor Zhou Mao has arrived and is waiting for you in Jingbei Mansion." Zhao Baoying stepped forward and said.

Zhou Mao came in person? Tang Ning was slightly shocked, knowing that there must be something important, so she drove the flying sword to the mansion with Zhao Bao.

"Are the people from the Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce still in Jingbei?" Tangning asked on the way.

Zhao Baodao: "We all evacuated the day before yesterday. Today, several Dharma boats from Guizong and Baoxing Chamber of Commerce came to take over their manpower."

Tang Ning returned to Jingbei's mansion, but she saw that the mansion was in dilapidated condition, with huge potholes and broken walls everywhere, creating a desolate scene.

"People from the Canglang Sect came here to search before, but they haven't had time to renovate it yet," Zhao Bao said.

Tang Ning nodded, feeling quite emotional in his heart. Along the way, he had seen the land of Jingbei where people had changed. There were hungry people in the wilds, corpses everywhere, and the county and city were also in ruins.

Fortunately, the Canglang Sect still calls itself the authentic Xuanmen sect. Such behavior is no different from bandits and thieves in the world. The so-called Xuanmen is just the law of the jungle.

"Tang Immortal Envoy, Senior Zhou is in the hall." Zhao Guang walked forward quickly and said.

Tang Ning walked quickly to the inner hall and saw Zhou Mao sitting on the main seat, with two disciples, Gao Huan and Zhou Wen, standing behind him.

"Disciple Tang Ning has met Master Zhou." Tang Ning stepped forward and saluted.

Zhou Mao nodded with a smile on his face: "Master Tang, your intelligence has contributed greatly to the excavation of ancient ruins. The sect has specially ordered me to come and declare that the bitter cold in the north of Jingbei is not good for practice. You should not stay any longer and come back." Let the sect go! The sect will have another reward later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Huan stepped forward and handed him a piece of paper, which read: Tang Ning, a disciple stationed in Jingbei, has made meritorious service by reporting intelligence. In view of the bitter cold in Jingbei, he is transferred back to the mountain gate to report on his duties.

The seal of Qingxuan Palace is stamped underneath.

"I don't know who will take over as the chief of Jingbei. Disciple heard that the sect sent people to Jingbei, but why is that ghostly green spirit liquid?"

Zhou Mao smiled and said: "Of course I am here for the spiritual liquid. As for the one who takes over your position as the head of Jingbei, it is me."

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Zhou Mao would take over as the head of Jingbei. How could this be possible? With his level of cultivation...

But after thinking about it, I immediately understood the key. Because of the existence of the green spirit liquid, Jingbei is now a hot spot, and of course it needs a person with a decent level of cultivation to guard it.

Although the Canglang Sect and the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce have been searching here for more than a year, some of the spiritual liquid that flows into the underground river always slips through the net. Even if only a small part is left, it is enough to feed the Qianyi Sect and the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. Home.

"I dare to ask my uncle, what is this green spiritual liquid? It actually has the effect of catalyzing the growth of vegetation."

"This green spiritual liquid is called Lingxian Liquid. It is a rare treasure in the world. It is a liquid formed by the long years of precipitation in the land with beautiful spiritual veins. It absorbs the essence of the sun, moon, vegetation, and the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins. Its essence It is the essence of plants and trees with strong spiritual power, which can promote the growth of plants and trees, and its spiritual liquid is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower."

Tang Ning's heart moved. This spiritual liquid is divided into grades. Could it be that the green spiritual power in her body is a higher grade of ghostly green spiritual liquid, but it has just changed from liquid to gaseous state?

"I wonder what grade the spiritual liquid that is so popular in various parts of Jingbei belongs to?"

"What the ancient ruins hide is the original ecological aphrodisiac elixir, which is naturally a low-grade one. To sublimate it into a medium-grade one, a large amount of low-grade elixir needs to be obtained through refining and purification. The same is true for high-grade ones. After refining and purification, the elixir has a catalytic effect on vegetation. They cannot be compared."

"Uncle Master, in recent years I have often heard people mention that ancient ruins are buried under the desert Gobi. What exactly are these ancient ruins?"

"Ancient ruins refer to the ruins left by ancient monks during great catastrophes. They generally contain more important materials."

"The catastrophe, is it the invasion of monsters?"

"No, it's another calamity. As for what kind of calamity it is, there are different opinions. We only know that every great calamity will completely destroy an era of cultivation. Whether it is a monk or a great demon, all practitioners will fall into a state of stagnant cultivation. , it is said that after the great catastrophe, the entire spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become extremely thin, so there are rumors that the great catastrophe is a catastrophe descended from heaven. In order to punish the monks for uncontrollably destroying the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, a catastrophe was sent from heaven, and all the spiritual energy and spiritual objects of heaven and earth were destroyed. Take it away until the spiritual beings in this world know your mistakes and work hard to improve, then you can return the aura and spiritual beings."

Catastrophe? This is the first time Tang Ning has heard about this. People are born, old, sick and die. Monks who pursue immortality are going against nature. Naturally, they want to plunder the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. If this is really a punishment from heaven, so many monks have pursued immortality throughout the ages. What is the meaning of immortality? .

Zhou Mao saw that he was silent and said: "There are countless mythical legends in the practice world, and they may not be true. It is useless to think about it. You can still concentrate on your own practice. You have been doing well in Jingbei these years. Although you are here, Although we are in a remote place and our spiritual energy is thin, we have not delayed our practice. After returning to the sect, we must intensify our practice and strive to establish the foundation as soon as possible."

"Yes." Tang Ning responded. He had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining two years ago. If he could break through the ninth level when he was transferred back to the sect this time, he would be able to prepare for foundation construction.

"If there is nothing else, just pack up and set off! You don't have to worry about the handover of Jingbei affairs."
