Chapter 141: Growing a Sun Wukong?

Beiyu, as the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland, was unexpectedly desolate.

Vast stretches of the area were uninhabited, and everywhere was desert; the crimson earth looked as if it had been stained by fresh blood.

Yet, upon this barren and infertile land, the most precious Source Stone used for cultivation could be unearthed, capable of stirring the heart of everyone in Beidou; every major Holy Land and Desolate Ancient Family had once stationed personnel here, specifically to mine Source Stone in this region.

Every famous sect under heaven had powerful forces here: the Desolate Ancient Ji Family, the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family, the Yaochi Sacred Land, the Central Plains Imperial Clan...

Every single name here was an existence that sounded like thunder to the ears.

They purchased various types of Source Stone in large quantities in the Holy City year-round, just to obtain the rare treasures within.

Not only to obtain the Source within, but also to obtain the most cherished and ancient items inside.

After all, the Abyss could seal everything about a person within it, allowing one to live on forever in that state.

One could not only dig up Medicine King, Peerless Divine Weapon from the Source Stone, but also dig up living people.

Especially since the Holy City was near the Taichu Ancient Mine; as one of the Seven Forbidden Lands of the Eastern Wasteland, the mystery of the Taichu Ancient Mine also exceeded the imagination of many figures.

Every year, unimaginable treasures flowed out from it, and one could even dig up peerless beauties and supreme divine weapons from the Source Stone.

The Holy City was filled with endless legends and tales.

Some people became rich overnight here, directly digging up peerless rare treasures, and then becoming a peerless expert.

There were also supreme experts who went bankrupt here, spending all their Source and family wealth, yet failing to dig up a single treasure, and thus left in decadence.

Here, there were countless myths of wealth and also countless painful memories of peerless figures.

This was the most longed-for city, and also the region that made people feel the most fear and unease.

"It lives up to its name as the Holy City."

Having arrived here via a cross-region teleportation through the Demon Race's field, Zhang Xuan looked up at the palace complex that never fell above the Holy City, and let out a low sigh.

That was the location of the most luxurious inn in the Holy City; yes, just an inn, not a so-called Daoist temple.

The value required to stay and lodge there was measured in Source.

"Truly, the gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between a person and a dog. At this time, Ye Fan is still being hunted for a fist-sized Source, and here, such a large amount of Source isn't even enough to qualify for a night's stay in this Heaven Grade Number One Inn."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed, and just because he took an extra look, Kongque Wang, who was by his side, had already taken the initiative to say: "That inn also has property belonging to my Demon Race, and there is a guest room always kept reserved. If Senior needs to rest, we can go over now."

At this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt the disparity in life, and felt even more that his previous actions and behaviors were quite reasonable.

Ye Fan had offended too many figures in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, the world where the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven was located, and wanted to flee to Beiyu; not only did he need to change his appearance, he also had to give gifts to a bunch of people to achieve his goal.

And when Zhang Xuan wanted to get things done, he only needed to give an order to the Demon Race by his side, and naturally, someone would arrange everything for him perfectly.

Everything was just that simple and direct.

"No need, let's go take a look at the Stone Workshop of the major Holy Lands first."

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "As for checking in, we'll talk about it tonight."

There were too many treasures here in Beiyu; Zhang Xuan felt very tempted just thinking about it.

Of course, the most numerous and precious treasures were, without a doubt, the Source Heaven Master inheritance in Purple Mountain, as well as the Wushi Sutra left behind by the Wushi Dadi.

However, Zhang Xuan did not have much desire for the Wushi Sutra, nor was he very eager for that Source Heaven Book.

Actually, he did want it quite a bit, but that Purple Mountain was too terrifying.

Zhang Xuan felt that if he went there himself, there was a high probability he would be done for.

Now that his life was going quite well overall, there was no need to go to Purple Mountain and bring bad luck upon himself.

"Anyway, someone will definitely enter Purple Mountain in the future. Ye Fan will absolutely go in and get it, and when the time comes, I'll just trade for the Source Heaven Book from his hands. Except for a figure like Ye Fan, other people going into Purple Mountain are basically courting death."

With such a powerful force by his side, and possessing the most supreme scriptures under heaven, Zhang Xuan had no intention of taking risks at all.

He did not lack much on the path of cultivation; overall, there was simply no need to take too many risks.

If it were to temper himself, there would be a reason to take risks, but he was unwilling to go to Purple Mountain for something ethereal that would not be of much help to him.

"Let's go to the Dao Yi Sacred Land first!"

Zhang Xuan's goal was very clear: first, get the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword from the center of the Nine-Orifice Stone Man's brow.

If he remembered correctly, it was in the Heaven Grade Stone Garden within the Dao Yi Sacred Land.

Although that Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword was small and could not be used as a fundamental heavy weapon, Zhang Xuan could use it to build a model in advance, and after collecting enough top-tier materials in the future, we could continue to add to it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"In terms of wealth, I am much better off than Ye Fan, but when it comes to obtaining these top-tier divine metals under heaven, I am lacking quite a bit; wanting to obtain them requires great effort and cost."

In this regard, Zhang Xuan truly could not compare to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan could obtain the Myriad Things Mother Qi Source Root in the early stages, which was the top-tier material under heaven, and later the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, as well as a small portion of Phoenix Blood Red Gold left over from the Great Emperor's weapon forging in the Taichu Ancient Mine...

When it came to these top-tier materials under heaven, Ye Fan really did get a whole bunch.

"However, I couldn't stand living a life as miserable as Ye Fan's. The current situation is quite good. Not to mention anything else, in the Kunlun mountain range of Beidou, there is still a material capable of completely forging a Great Emperor Weapon."

"Now I will first build a model embryo; in the future, even if I can't get the top-tier materials elsewhere, going to Earth to take out that material will be enough for my cultivation."

And not long after arriving at the Holy City, Zhang Xuan had already carefully marked the top-tier materials that Ye Fan had unearthed in the Holy City, as well as those with obvious characteristics.

"Ye Fan not only unearthed the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword here, but also the roots of a Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine and the Qilin Undying Divine Medicine..."

"It's a pity that the Source Stone characteristics of that Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine are too inconspicuous; it's just said to be a very huge stone, also in the Dao Yi Sacred Land, but there are still many big stones in the Dao Yi Sacred Land. Without obvious markings, it is truly difficult to unearth..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan turned to ask Kongque Wang beside him.

"I wonder how much Source Stone you brought to this place this time, Kongque Wang?"

If he remembered correctly, any stone in the Heaven Grade Stone Garden cost thousands or tens of thousands of catties of Source. If Ye Fan had had this much Source in the early stages, it would have been enough for him to die a thousand times.

"Currently, I only have dozens of fang of Source with me. After all, at my level, I don't really need Source. If I'm near the Holy City, I need to mobilize it; I can probably mobilize up to a hundred fang. If more is needed, I can also use some materials to trade for it, but it will take some time."

Kongque Wang was very humble. After being shocked by Zhang Xuan many times in a row, he did not speak as arrogantly as he used to.

And Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment after hearing his reply. Source was usually measured in catties, and often even one catty of Source was extremely precious.

And when measured in fang, one fang was about ten thousand catties. Dozens or hundreds of fang meant that Kongque Wang could produce hundreds of thousands or millions of catties of Source at any time.

Zhang Xuan heard this, and although there was not much movement on his face, he was already exclaiming in his heart.

Over a million jin of Source is already a very large sum of wealth nowadays.

But thinking about it carefully, Kongque Wang has been famous for hundreds of years and has cultivated for nearly two thousand years; accumulating enough treasures over such a long period of time can be considered reasonable.

It is just that his cultivation realm is not considered very high right now, but this point is also reasonable.

Because of the post-Desolate Ancient Era, cultivation in Beidou today is extremely difficult; it is very normal for figures who have cultivated for thousands of years to only reach the Immortal Third Realm, and there are even those who have not reached Saint.

Even Jiang Taixu, who was extremely brilliant and talented in his later years, shocked the entire Beidou, and made the Great Saints of the Ancient Myriad Tribes marvel, spent thousands of years cultivating to the Saint or even Saint King realm.

Jiang Taixu was a figure capable of contending on the path of the Emperor and breaking through an ancient path.

If it were not for suppressing the Dark Turmoil, Jiang Taixu would not have died early.

Perhaps in the future, it is truly possible for him to achieve Alternative Enlightenment, and then, following Ye Fan, ascend to the heavens and directly become a Great Emperor.

"If that is the case, then it is interesting; I will probably need to spend a sum of Source."

Zhang Xuan is not polite to Kongque Wang; in any case, he will give Kongque Wang a corresponding return, rather than taking Kongque Wang's things for nothing.

He has already thought of the items to give Kongque Wang in return.

In the Chat Group, Qingdi has likely been stimulated by that Fengyun Wuji from the Taigu period during this time and has gained a lot of motivation; he has now uploaded all the formulas for things like the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid to the Chat Group.

When the time comes, Zhang Xuan will directly give this formula to Kongque Wang, which will definitely make Kongque Wang very motivated.

The Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid from the Eternal Ancient Star can allow a person's bloodline to be continuously optimized and evolved into a powerful physique, and it also possesses incredible power during the early stages of cultivation.

As long as the third-level Bloodline Optimization Fluid is used, it can directly allow a person to make continuous breakthroughs in cultivation in a short period of time, and it is very easy to reach the peak of the Immortal Second Realm and touch the Zhan Dao Realm.

If one can refine the fourth-level Bloodline Optimization Fluid, it can even directly allow a person to break through the Severing Dao and touch the Saint Realm.

It can be considered one of the top treasures in this world; it is a Bloodline Optimization Fluid derived from the formula of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill passed down from the Mythological Era, and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is said to be able to extend the life of a peak Great Emperor by two thousand years.

Using such an item to exchange with Kongque Wang, Kongque Wang would definitely be eager for it.

After all, although Kongque Wang is called a King, he has not reached the realm of a true Severing Dao King and is still considered a top powerhouse within the Immortal Second Realm.

With the help of this kind of Bloodline Optimization Fluid, it is very likely that he could touch the Severing Dao level, but to succeed in Severing Dao, he would still have to rely on himself.

"My Plantation, or rather my Farm, is a Tier 8 spiritual land where all kinds of spiritual herbs can be planted, but up until now, I haven't planted any Undying Divine Medicine."

"If there is a chance, I must try my best to get an Undying Divine Medicine to plant inside; I hope there is a chance this time."

Zhang Xuan's eyes are bright, and he has a lot of desire for that Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine.

After all, that is the top Undying Divine Medicine that grew alongside the Emperor; although records say only the roots remain, with only a pair of feet, it seems very difficult to keep alive.

But Zhang Xuan is not worried at all; with the Chat Group as a great trump card, he feels that as long as there are roots, it is possible to grow it, and it will definitely be able to survive.

After all, later on, this Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine was grown alive by that Heavenly Emperor.

Zhang Xuan feels that the Plantation should be able to grow that Undying Divine Medicine alive.

Thinking of that Undying Divine Medicine, Zhang Xuan was suddenly stunned again.

"Undying Divine Medicine can be buried in the soil and kept planted, then let it take root, sprout, and grow; the Holy Spirit also possesses this characteristic."

"Moreover, the Holy Spirit is even more special; after being buried underground for millions of years, once it is born, it is a perfect-level existence that can confront a Great Emperor head-on. In a sense, can such an existence be considered a creation, and can it be planted in the ground?"

Once this thought emerged, Zhang Xuan's entire eyes lit up.

Undying Divine Medicine can mature in ten thousand years, and after it matures, a Great Emperor can live for another ten thousand years after consuming it; it is the top treasure in the world.

And the Holy Spirit requires a longer time, needing to grow in stone for millions of years to become perfect; once it is dug out midway and this process is interrupted prematurely, it will not be perfect and can only have partial flesh and blood.

Most of the time, the majority of the body is stone; once it is born prematurely, there is no way to improve its cultivation.

But if it could be planted in the Plantation, with the Plantation's ability to accelerate growth, the Holy Spirit's growth time would be greatly shortened, and a Holy Spirit could be grown in a very short time.

In that case, it would simply be the top item in the world.

Whether it is used to cultivate the Indestructible Heavenly Art or to use the methods in the Eight-Nine Profound Art to refine this existence into an external avatar, there is no problem at all in terms of the whole.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Xuan is a little impatient.

A Holy Spirit born of heaven and earth, and it is being raised by him.

If it really works, he will possess a top-tier trump card.

Perhaps in a short time, he could go to the Kunlun mountain range to explore a bit and directly take out the top-tier materials for forging a Great Emperor Weapon from the Kunlun mountain range.

There would be no need to be as miserable as he is now, trying every possible way to collect materials and running around everywhere.

"Growing a Monkey from the Plantation, this is truly interesting."

Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had the urge to immediately go to the Stone Workshop of the Dao Yi Sacred Land to buy that stone man.

As for opening the stone in public, there is no need; in any case, no one has ever had this requirement.

Even if it cannot be grown, taking out the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword is enough.
