Chapter 285 - 273: Mao Yuheng (1/3)
Nascent Soul Realm experts are few and far between in this world!
Another seven days passed, and Zhou Heng had not encountered any abnormally strong opponent of the Nascent Soul Realm level. There weren’t that many peerless experts for him to stumble upon, yet minor dangers were incessant. Every flower, every blade of grass, and every tree he encountered often harbored intense poisons or malevolent energies, making even him furrow his brow.
Sometimes Feng Lianqing rode the Big Gray Wolf along with him and Ying Mengfan, but more often, she preferred to lazily gamble in the Nine Mystic Trial Tower with Xiao Huoshui and the other two girls—over the days, she had accumulated a considerable amount of debt, her eyebrows knitted as if they could tie knots.
Zhou Heng calculated the distance; the location where the Nine Suns Vitality Grass grew was not within the inner parts of the Death Forest. If the center of the forest were to be used as a reference point, marking out five concentric circles to its outermost boundaries, then that location would be in the fourth circle, far from the center of the forest.
The first layer is said to be where Divinity Transformation Realm experts are buried, containing their unequaled legacies. Unfortunately, even Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestors could only venture as far as the third layer, and Divine Infant Realm Old Ancestors the second layer, leaving no one able to reach directly to the first layer!
This baffled the people of the world. Who then could obtain the legacy if it was meant for other Divinity Transformation Realm peerless experts? But since they were already of the Divinity Transformation Realm, they naturally followed their own paths, aiming to leap through the nine heavens and become immortals. Why would they need another legacy at that stage?
Zhou Heng was lucky; he actually dug up a Crystal Red Jade Ginseng, roughly seven hundred years old, a truly nourishing treasure!
He was never stingy with his people and immediately had all the women come out from the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, distributing a slice to each of them; even the Big Gray Bear got a piece, which it gleefully slurped up, then stared eagerly at the piece belonging to Feng Lianqing.
If one person were to consume the Crystal Red Jade Ginseng, it could save a regular martial artist seven hundred years of arduous cultivation. However, the higher the cultivation realm, the lesser the effect, especially for someone like Zhou Heng with an unusually vast Dantian space. To him, it merely added about ten days of strenuous cultivation.
While the effect was minimal on him, for someone like Nangong Yuerong, who was of a relatively lower realm, the results were excellent. She was just a whisker away from a breakthrough.
