Chapter 334

After this Ice Source Jiazi Dew was strengthened, its efficacy naturally changed as well.

Name: Ice Plain Bingyuan Shenlu.

Tier: Third-tier top-tier.

Function: A single drop can instantly fill a water or ice attribute dantian (limited to the Golden Core Stage), and it can increase the lifespan of all Golden Core Stage cultivators with "severed wisdom" by one hundred years.

He Pingsheng looked at this function for a full three or four breaths before realizing that the strengthened Ice Plain Bingyuan Shenlu was different from the original.

Before strengthening, a single drop of this stuff could fill a water or ice Golden Core Stage dantian; this point had not changed.

The change was that after strengthening, a single drop of divine dew could increase the lifespan of Golden Core cultivators of all attributes by one hundred years.

Before, it could only increase the lifespan of cultivators with water or ice Linggen.

Now, without the restriction of 【Water or Ice Linggen】, any Golden Core cultivator of any Linggen can use it to increase their lifespan.

And the length of the lifespan had also changed; before it was sixty years, now it is one hundred years.

An increase of forty years.

Not bad, put it away.

As for the meaning of the two characters 【Severed Wisdom】, He Pingsheng also knew.

He had seen it in those cultivation archives; so-called "severed wisdom" means the path to immortality is cut off.

Some cultivators, in the process of cultivation, suddenly find themselves unable to improve their cultivation base.

For example, at the third layer of the Golden Core Stage, no matter what heavenly treasures they eat, or what cultivation techniques or divine abilities they practice, they cannot improve their cultivation base by even a single bit.

Even top-tier spirit pills won't work.

Swallowing heavenly treasures that can break through bottlenecks is also of no avail.

This situation is called 【Severed Wisdom】.

As the name implies, severed wisdom means one's wisdom roots are severed, the path to immortality is severed, and it ends here.

In the entire cultivation world, no matter what cultivation base a cultivator has, one day they will encounter this situation of severed wisdom.

Unless you can cultivate all the way to ascension.

It's just that for some people, severed wisdom comes early, arriving during the Qi Condensation Stage.

For some people, it just comes a bit later.

That is the only difference.

For example, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, in reality, ninety percent of people cannot reach the true bottleneck period; they get stuck at levels like the sixth, third, or eighth layer.

And for these cultivators who have no hope for the Great Dao, how precious is a drop of spirit liquid that can increase lifespan?

They are often willing to exhaust their entire family fortune to pursue it.

He Pingsheng put away the spirit liquid!

The people around him gradually began to stir.

One by one, they were rubbing their hands and fists, looking up along the cliff.

He Pingsheng knew this was because the Earth Dragon Ditch was about to open.

What is inside the Earth Dragon Ditch?

Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus Root.

At least thirty percent of the cultivators who came here were aiming for this black and white lotus root.

For some people, obtaining the black and white lotus root means they can receive the imperial family's reward of a 【Blood Jade Purple-Skin Date】, thereby breaking through the bottleneck of the eleventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

For some princes, obtaining the black and white lotus root can win them prestige, win them respect within the imperial family, and accumulate their foundation in the Emperor's heart.

And so on.

So one can imagine!

Once this Earth Dragon Ditch opens, countless cultivators will rush toward the 【Black Mud Pool】 where the black and white lotus root is located at the very first moment.

Therefore, how to seize the initiative is very important.

After all, the first one to reach the black mud pool has the highest probability of obtaining the black and white lotus root.

How can one seize the initiative?

It's very simple: first, start earlier than others; second, be faster than others.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

The roars of various demonic beasts shook the valley.

Many cultivators took out their trump cards at this time: spirit beasts.

Flying is not allowed here, but that doesn't matter; if one can ride those extremely fast spirit beasts, that is also fine!

He Pingsheng looked around; some were riding white fierce tigers, others were riding cyan lions.

Still others were sitting directly on top of giant pythons.

It could be said that everyone was showing their own unique skills.

He Pingsheng could only do his best.

He had 【Gold-Pattern Cloud-Stepping Boots】 on his feet, and his body was also blessed with the 【Meteor Talisman】 which doubled his speed.

At this moment, He Pingsheng also quietly revealed his previous appearance, the one he had when he fought the Ninth Prince.

After all, when the golden light bursts from his feet later, others might be able to tell who he is.

So there was no need to hide it.

He could just hide his figure after obtaining the black and white lotus root.

Rumble...

Just at this moment, the last dragon ditch finally opened.

A black vortex appeared on the colorful light membrane.

Thousands of cultivators jumped up like locusts, climbing toward the mountain!

He Pingsheng was naturally no exception.

At this time, it was impossible to have any hesitation.

Even being slow by a single breath would be a sign of disrespect to the Xuanhuang Black and White Lotus Root.

Bang...

Bang, bang, bang...

Golden light erupted from under He Pingsheng's feet.

He was almost the first to dive into that vortex.

"It's him..." The Thirteenth Prince stared tightly at He Pingsheng and said, "Attack him!"

Bang...

Bang, bang, bang...

Under the Thirteenth Prince's feet, he was also wearing boots that could accelerate; the speed of these boots was not slow, only a tiny bit slower than He Pingsheng's.

Seeing He Pingsheng rush into first place, he became anxious and waved his hand, sending a fire dragon roaring toward He Pingsheng.

It was impossible for He Pingsheng to ignore it.

He had no choice but to stop for a moment and block it with his power.

However, this block caused him to immediately fall into a quagmire.

Behind him, dozens of imperial disciples wearing moon-white Daoist robes were all attacking He Pingsheng crazily.

In the short term, He Pingsheng was completely unable to escape.

Dozens of imperial disciples were like dozens of dog-skin plasters.

And at this moment, the Thirteenth Prince had long since swooshed into the first position.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Soon, hundreds of people around him overtook He Pingsheng.

Let alone competing, facing the attacks of dozens of imperial disciples, He Pingsheng could only retreat while fighting.

It took a full half-stick of incense's time to completely shake off these imperial disciples.

"Damn it..." After crossing the mountain range and looking at the massive Earth Dragon Ditch before him, He Pingsheng almost wanted to vomit.

According to the map, in this last Earth Dragon Ditch, the black mud pool where the black and white lotus root is located is not at the very end of the ditch, nor in the middle, but right in the first half!

If running at full speed, it would only take about an hour's journey.

I actually wasted half a stick of incense's time?

"Go..."

He Pingsheng swallowed a drop of Golden Bee Jinfeng Shengjiang to replenish his dantian, and then his whole body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

His speed was indeed the fastest.

It was four times that of an ordinary person.

It was just that being beaten to the punch by others made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, four times the speed was indeed very fast, and as he ran forward, those imperial disciples gradually scattered one by one and could no longer pose a threat to He Pingsheng.

In the valley, the vegetation retreated rapidly.

One cultivator after another was overtaken by He Pingsheng's rapid speed.

It was just that running at four times the speed, He Pingsheng's consumption was also enormous.

But with the Golden Bee Jinfeng Shengjiang in hand, he was not afraid.

Consumption is just consumption.
