Chapter 229

He actually had quite a few Heaven-Mending Fruits on hand; he himself had four Heaven-Mending Fruits, and there were another six in the storage bag of that Spirit Sea Stage Gu Cultivator.

That Spirit Sea Stage Gu Cultivator had gone crazy after seeing the Heaven-Mending Fruit and slaughtered the Western Land geniuses wantonly.

It was just that he had encountered Long Xuan too early; otherwise, if he had faced Long Xuan last, all the geniuses of the Western Lands would have been killed by him.

So he now had a total of ten Heaven-Mending Fruits on hand, enough for him to squander.

Borrowing the power of his clones, he had spent three months in the Soul Study, which was equivalent to nine months outside.

Because he didn't need hand speed in the Soul Study and writing was just a matter of a thought, his real time livering Gu formulas was equivalent to over a year outside.

So after such a long time, he had finally livered out the "Heaven-Mending Pill Formula".

After his research, the pill formula using the Heaven-Mending Fruit as the main material would become pills of different grades due to the addition of secondary materials of different grades.

That is to say, if the secondary materials of the Heaven-Mending Pill were all Grade Two Spirit Medicines, the Heaven-Mending Fruit would waste its medicinal power because of the trash materials and be downgraded to a Grade Two pill.

A Grade Two Heaven-Mending Pill could only repair the aptitude of Essence Refining stage Gu Cultivators and was ineffective for realms above the Essence Refining stage.

If the secondary materials of the Heaven-Mending Pill were all Grade Ten Spirit Medicines, then the Heaven-Mending Fruit would exert most of its medicinal power and be refined into a Grade Ten pill.

However, Grade Ten Spirit Medicines didn't grow in this world, and even if they could grow, with Long Xuan's current realm, he couldn't refine Grade Ten pills at all.

So he could only waste heaven's gifts and use a large amount of low-grade materials to reduce the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Fruit.

Now that the Grade Two Heaven-Mending Pill formula was complete, his next task was to find the materials on the Heaven-Mending Pill formula and refine the Heaven-Mending Pill as soon as possible.

But now the difficulty came; he couldn't return to his large medicine garden at all, and he hadn't carried many spirit medicines when he went out this time, causing him to only be able to gather one main material for his pill formula now.

In the past, whatever materials he needed, he only had to take a massive amount of contribution to the Long Clan and exchange, exchange, exchange.

Now that he was trapped outside and couldn't return home, the matter of collecting materials had truly become a difficulty for him.

Don't ever think that Grade Two spirit medicines are easy to collect.

Rare varieties don't distinguish by grade; refining a heaven-defying pill like the Heaven-Mending Pill, how could the materials be so easy to collect?

Ordinary Grade Two spirit medicines are easy to collect, but rare varieties of Grade Two spirit medicines are not so easy to encounter.

And refining the Heaven-Mending Pill requires over ten thousand types of materials, among which over three hundred types of rare spirit medicines are needed.

These three hundred types of rare spirit medicines, even in the Long Clan Treasure Pavilion, would be difficult to collect completely.

He would need to go to the Task Hall to post a massive number of tasks and offer high-price rewards for a long time before he could collect them completely.

So the matter of collecting Heaven-Mending Pill materials had truly become a huge difficulty for him now.

After Long Xuan sighed, he took two seeds out of his storage ring and played with them in his hands like treasures.

During these three months, whenever he had time, he would research these two seeds, attempting to crack the secrets of the seeds.

And don't say, the two seeds that Li Laodao had never researched a result for had actually had their secrets accidentally discovered by him in his hands; Long Xuan was immediately overjoyed.

Perhaps because of the mutual repulsion of existences of the same level, ever since he put the Heaven-Mending Fruit and the branches of the Heaven-Mending Tree into his storage ring, the auras of these two seeds had suddenly fluctuated violently.

After discovering this anomaly, he immediately took the seeds out to check. When his soul power perceived the situation inside the seeds, he suddenly discovered that he had arrived in a vast, strange world.

This world had abundant spiritual power, soil, water sources, flowers, grass, and light.

It was just that although this world was large, it was ultimately limited, like a huge floating island, surrounded by a gray world, a void.

Long Xuan was completely stunned to see this scene. He immediately thought of an existence as famous as the Heaven-Mending Tree, one of the Ten Great Divine Trees of Heaven and Earth, the World Tree, which ranked second.

These two seeds seemed to be seeds of the World Tree. He had also seen the records in a certain secret classic of the Long Clan; it was precisely in this book that Long Dan had learned about the Heaven-Mending Tree, thus having this mission.

Rumor has it that the seeds of the World Tree form a world of their own; inside every World Tree seed, a vast world is contained.

This vast world can contain living things; here one can breathe, can sleep, here there is sunlight, and abundant spiritual power; people can move in directly to survive, and can cultivate inside.

As storage spaces, storage bags and storage rings cannot contain living people, and all living things that can move and spatial equipment cannot be contained.

And the World Tree seed not only has a huge space, but can also store anything, including spatial equipment that storage bags cannot store.

Then one can imagine just how great the use of this World Tree seed is.

First, it can allow all members of a clan to move in and survive; once a disaster of clan extermination is encountered, everyone can run in, avoiding a crisis of clan extermination.

For individuals, the effect is even greater: mobile medicine garden, mobile ranch, mobile insect room, mobile fish pond...

If one can carry these things with them, then one can imagine the help to a person.

It is simply too convenient; he only needs one small seed to contain all his family wealth, including his boundless large medicine garden, farming while carrying it.

Long Xuan's breathing quickened; in front of this treasure, he simply couldn't remain calm.

He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. No matter how cautious Li Laodao was, in the end, didn't he still lose? This time he had even lost his shit.

The value of these two seeds is more than a hundred billion? One must know that the spiritual power inside these two seeds is abundant, more than ten times that of the outside world; it is a natural cultivation holy land. In front of this treasure, any clan would go crazy.

And this Li Laodao actually sold it to him at such a low price. I don't know what expression he would have if he knew that the thing he sold at a low price was actually the legendary World Tree seed, and what he kept in his hand was just a dead seed; I'm afraid even his intestines would turn green with regret.

Hahaha... refreshing! Simply too refreshing!

Long Xuan revealed an extremely smug smile.

However, at this moment, another huge difficulty was placed in front of him, making him anxious.

He urgently needed to go home, plant this World Tree seed, let it grow into a towering tree, and bear more World Tree seeds.

Here he didn't have superior spirit soil; he had only been allocated one-fourth of the superior spirit soil in the Imperial Garden of the Black Wind Kingdom, which was not enough to plant a tree at all.

Moreover, he wanted to plant two divine trees, the Heaven-Mending Tree and the World Tree, at the same time, so the superior spirit soil was even less enough to divide.

Although he could also look for other superior spirit soil here, or look for materials to configure it himself, this required time, and the time required was not short.

One must know that the two divine trees, the Heaven-Mending Tree and the World Tree, are unique attributes of the world; once these two trees die, they will randomly refresh in the world.

So he must plant these two divine trees at the fastest speed; once his hands are slow and these two divine trees have already been born in other places, then he could work himself to death and never dream of planting these two divine trees again.

He was now racing against time; how could he not be anxious?

But now it was useless for him to be anxious; the Straw Gu was disabled, so he could only let nature take its course.

Time flew by, and another three days passed. Long Xuan stopped his footsteps in front of the city gate of a large city called Tianyue City.

This huge city was simply too prosperous, its prosperity even surpassing Black Stone City, and it was bustling with noise and excitement inside.

So after seeing this city, Long Xuan immediately decided to come to this city to collect materials for refining the Heaven-Mending Pill.

At this time, his injuries had already recovered to the point where he could walk, not needing anyone to support him. After he paid eight hundred lower-grade spirit stones to the guards in front of the city gate, he entered the city.

I have to say, it was a bit expensive.

However, the more expensive the city entry fee, the more it proved that this city was prosperous, and the materials inside were likely very complete.

In fact, after he had walked for such a long time, he had already entered the Gu Cultivator world.

At this time, the land under his feet was within the scope of the Xuanyue Empire. The Xuanyue Empire was a neighboring country of the Great Yin Dynasty; the two countries had equivalent strength and were in a hostile relationship.

And Tianyue City was the main city of Tianyue Prefecture of the Xuanyue Empire, with strong experts like clouds inside, naturally incomparably prosperous.

If they didn't use high city entry fees to raise the threshold for entering the city and block a large number of poor scattered cultivators outside, this city would likely have been squeezed to bursting long ago.

Once he entered the city, Long Xuan was stunned by the prosperous scene inside.

A world with a country is different; the laws are sound, and all systems are standardized. This is a world with order, and there is little chaos. Scenes like a large group of Essence Refining stage Gu Cultivators fighting in the streets of Black Stone City are difficult to happen here.

Because Black Stone City is where the strong are respected, and the rules formulated are used to constrain the weak.

And the laws formulated in places with countries are used to constrain the strong; even a Gu King cannot kill wantonly in this city and have nothing happen.

Moreover, the Xuanyue Empire has a currency called Moon Coin, but it doesn't circulate with other countries, so spirit stones are also common here; he won't become a pauper here.

Long Xuan certainly didn't plan to stay in the Xuanyue Empire for long, so he didn't plan to exchange for a large amount of Moon Coins here; Moon Coins are waste paper in other regions.

He didn't have time to appreciate the prosperity here and immediately looked for channels to trade spirit medicines. After the spirit medicines were in hand, he would leave this city as soon as possible.

He was simply too weak now, and staying in Tianyue City, where strong experts were like clouds, truly gave him no sense of security, even if the laws of this city could constrain a Gu King.

Habitual, he subconsciously looked for the Qian Clan Merchant Association in the city. After discovering the target, he immediately walked toward the target.

The Qian Clan Merchant Association is a large cross-region merchant association; one can find traces of the Qian Clan Merchant Association in many regions and many cities. Even Long Xuan didn't know just how large this Qian Clan Merchant Association was and how many regions it was spread across.

At this time, on a huge high platform, a fat man with ten spirit rings on his hands sat in the center of the high platform, rich and imposing, with a face full of arrogance.

And a long cloth hung on the high platform, with the four characters "Treasure Hunting Assembly" embroidered on it, attracting countless onlookers to watch, and the scene was extremely lively.
