Palm fairy garden

As the formation slowly opened, a wave of heat rushed over.

"This is."

Su Ming looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

Compared with the scene of the fairyland resort in the secret territory in the early days, the forbidden area is actually a sea of ​​flames.

In the eyes, boundless flames surged surging.

Su Ming looked as far as the eye could see, and from time to time, he could see thunder flashing through the sea of ​​flames.

"Follow me!"

Jiang Yan warned again, and immediately turned into a ray of light and flew into the sea of ​​flames.

Seeing this, Su Ming followed closely behind and also flew into the sea of ​​flames.

As the core area of ​​the secret realm in the beginning, this forbidden area has been shrouded by formations all year round.

In the entire Xianxia faction, except for the head teacher, no one can open the formation to protect the forbidden area.

Unless some disciples betrayed the sect and chose to attack the forbidden area to guard the formation.

However, almost [-]% of the high-level monks of the Xianxia Sect gathered in the secret territory of the early days. No matter who dares to do this, it is tantamount to courting death.

"Crack-"

A purple lightning suddenly exploded less than ten miles away from Su Ming's Dunguang.

The lightning struck at such a close distance, coupled with the intense heat emitted from the sea of ​​flames below, the Taoist robe on Su Ming's body was scorched until it smelled burnt.

Ahead, Jiang Yan concentrated on changing the route.

If you observe carefully, you can find that every time Jiang Yan changes his route, he happens to avoid the purple thunder and the raging pillar of fire.

Obviously, the large guard formation around the forbidden area is only one of Dao Qinglian's defense methods.

The cruel environment in this forbidden area is its real means of defense.

Judging from the power of the purple lightning that fell from the sky just now, not to mention the golden core stage monks, even the Nascent Soul monks would be turned into fly ash in an instant if they were hit head-on.

In such a desperate situation, I am afraid that even the cultivators of the transformation stage would not dare to rush in at will.

Seeing the desperate environment along the way, Su Ming couldn't help but become more curious about the Dao Qinglian who grew up in it.

What kind of magical treasure can grow in such a desperate situation.

After half an hour.

The two carefully avoided the Pillar of Fire and the Purple Thunder, and finally came to a boundary like a magma hell.

Jiang Yan cast the light on a dark mountain.

"Look, that's Daoqinglian."

Su Ming followed closely behind, and also landed on the pitch-black mountain. He looked in the direction of Jiang Yan's finger.

Sure enough, in the magma hell, a blue lotus quietly suspended in the air.

The root of this green lotus is connected with red flames. The red flames are rooted in the magma hell, and seem to be providing nutrients for the green lotus.

"Feeding on magma, such an overbearing Dao Qinglian."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan shook his head: "This is not ordinary magma, haven't you noticed? This sea of ​​fire is much calmer than the surrounding sea of ​​fire."

Su Ming took a closer look and found that, as Jiang Yan said, the magma hell in front of him was exceptionally peaceful.

It's not like the sea of ​​flames outside, it's a pillar of fire and a thunderbolt, and if you're not careful, you will die in it.

"This sea of ​​fire seems calm, but it is actually more dangerous than the surrounding sea of ​​fire."

Say it.

Jiang Yan flicked his fingers, and saw a small stone on the mountain suddenly flew towards Qinglian on the road.

But when the stone flew into the air, the red flame root system under the Dao Qinglian was pulled out of the sea of ​​flames.

The next moment, this red flame root system directly pulled towards the high-speed flying stone.

"laugh--"

The speed of this red flame root system is incomparably fast, even with Su Ming's late-stage Jindan spirit, he couldn't see how it made a move.

When he searched with his spiritual sense, the stone flying towards Qinglian on the Dao Dao had already been burned into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming woke up with a start.

It turns out that Dao Qinglian's defense is not two layers, but three layers.

Compared with the guarding array in the forbidden area and the surrounding sea of ​​flames, Dao Qinglian's own defense methods are truly terrifying!
Su Ming himself has manipulated Guang Yuanzi more than once, and he has even fought against the body cultivator of Huashenqi.

But just now, the power of this Dao Qinglian attacking the stone in front of him is even more terrifying than the physical training of the transformation stage!
A mere Xianxia faction has such background, not to mention the Holy Land Cave Heaven, which has a deeper background than him.

It's no wonder that Wanxin Sheng, who clearly has the inheritance from the upper realm, dared not go directly to the Holy Land to snatch the Bixinmu tree.

Even if the Dao Qinglian has such power, does the Bixinmu tree have any means of protecting it?

If so, how terrifying it would be!
Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the background of these great forces.

At the beginning, when he witnessed the Xianxia Party's destruction of Lingbao Mountain, he thought that the so-called Holy Land sect was not worth mentioning.

But thinking about it now, Lingbao Mountain may not have a trump card, but Lingbao Mountain's trump card is very likely to disappear with the fall of Lingbao Mountain's head teacher.

Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately suppressed his underestimation of the Holy Land sect.

The background of the Holy Land sect is so terrifying, but that day Jianshan, as a sect with the inheritance of the upper world, must not have no background at all, right?
Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately put away the idea of ​​letting Guang Yuanzi take the inheritance of Tianjian Mountain by force.

Su Ming looked at Dao Qinglian again.

This time, he looked more carefully, and Su Ming discovered that there were actually three lotus seeds growing on this green lotus.

"Headmaster, are these lotus seeds Qinglian's heart?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded: "That's right, these three lotus seeds are the heart of Qinglian. The lotus seeds of Daoqinglian condense once every thousand years. If they are all full, it will take 6000 years."

"Six lotus seeds!"

"Ah."

Jiang Yan nodded, "The lotus seeds in the heart of the green lotus have three functions. If they are all full, there are three that can directly improve the monk's cultivation base. With your current cultivation base, if you take this kind of lotus seeds, it is very likely that you will reach the sky in one step and break through. To the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"Then, what about the effects of the other two lotus seeds?"

"The effect of the second kind of lotus seeds is to enhance the perception of the Dao law. Taking this kind of lotus seeds can make monks in the late Yuanying period realize their epiphanies once, but each monk can only take one of this lotus seeds in his lifetime.

If this kind of lotus seed is full, it can condense into two pieces, "

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan paused, "I took one of this kind of lotus seeds back then. As for the third kind of lotus seeds, it can awaken a kind of spiritual root for mortals or monks!"

Originally Su Ming was still shocked by the efficacy of Dao Qinglian, but when he heard the third function, Su Ming couldn't help frowning.

Let mortals awaken their spiritual roots, what kind of ability is this?
Perhaps for mortals who can't practice, this effect can be called a miracle, but for monks who already have spiritual roots, the effect of this lotus seed seems a bit tasteless.

May I ask which monk in the world does not have spiritual roots?

Besides, the fewer spiritual roots a monk has, the faster his cultivation speed will be. Wouldn't it slow down his cultivation speed if he added one more spiritual root?

Seeing Su Ming's expression, Jiang Yan immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Now you must think that awakening the spiritual root has no effect on monks, right?"

Hearing this, Su Ming nodded and admitted, "It's true."

"You'd be wrong to think so,"

Jiang Yan shook his head, "The spiritual root of a monk has never been said to be useless. The reason why we usually look at single spiritual root monks is because single spiritual root monks have an advantage in cultivation speed when their cultivation level is low.

For sects with few resources, it is definitely more cost-effective to train such monks than to train Duolingen monks.

But this situation will change with the continuous improvement of monks' cultivation. "

Jiang Yan paused, "The reason why monks with single spiritual roots practice fast is because the impurities in their spiritual roots are extremely low, but it is also because of this that when monks with single spiritual roots practice to the late stage of Nascent Soul, they will not Only one law of the Dao can be comprehended."

Hearing this, Su Ming's heart was shocked: "Master, you mean."

"Yes, you heard me right,"

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "The advantages of a monk with a single spiritual root will disappear with the promotion of the monk's cultivation to the stage of transformation.

Perhaps because his spiritual root has less impurities, a monk with a single spiritual root has a higher understanding of a single five-element law, but it is almost as difficult for him to comprehend other laws of the Dao.

At this time, monks in the transformation stage often use the method of sacrificing the outer spiritual roots to solve the problem of comprehending other Dao laws. "

"Outer spirit root?"

A puzzled look appeared on Su Ming's face.

"It's a clone!"

Jiang Yan explained with a smile, "Cultivators in the transformation stage have already been able to differentiate their spiritual thoughts, they only need to integrate the differentiated spiritual thoughts into their avatars, and they are not much different from the deity.

In this way, this avatar can comprehend other Dao laws that the deity cannot comprehend, but you should be clear about the cost of doing so. "

When Su Ming heard this, he didn't know how precious this third lotus seed was.

If a cultivator in the transformation stage wants to cultivate an outer spiritual root, he has to cultivate it again and cultivate it to the late Yuanying stage and even the stage of transformation.

The resources, energy, and time spent during this period are simply astronomical.

All of this is just to comprehend one more law of the Dao!
But with the lotus seeds of the third Dao Qinglian, there is no need to painstakingly refine any external spiritual roots.

Just take this lotus seed and let the deity directly awaken another spiritual root.

but
This lotus seed didn't seem to be of much use to Su Ming.

It is very difficult for other monks to refine the avatar, but for Su Ming, the more difficult part is that the materials are difficult to find.

Su Ming himself has three spiritual roots of earth, fire and metal.

Because Guangyuanzi's root is bixin wood, it is more in line with the law of wood, so Guangyuanzi's spiritual root should be wood spiritual root.

As the puppet avatar of the Silver Sacrifice of the Void, Chun Yangzi, if he is promoted to the late Yuanying stage in the future, there is a high probability that he will be in line with the law of space, that is, the root of the void.

In this way, Su Ming has already mastered five spiritual roots, one of which is the relatively rare ethereal root!
In the practice world, the spiritual roots that most people have are one or more of the five elements, but besides the five elements, there are other spiritual roots.

This kind of monks with spiritual roots other than the five elements are collectively called monks with different spiritual roots by the practice community.

Such as thunder root, light root, ethereal root and so on.

Of course, the probability of a cultivator with a different spirit root appearing is even lower than that of a cultivator with a (single) heavenly root. At least Su Ming has never encountered one before.

Seeing that Su Ming lacked interest in the third kind of lotus seeds, Jiang Yan didn't care.

Not to mention Su Ming, even Jiang Yan himself failed to comprehend a law of the Dao to the level of understanding.

The third lotus seed is useless to Jiang Yan, let alone Su Ming who only has Golden Core stage.

Explain to Su Ming about Dao Qinglian.

Jiang Yan didn't say any more, he just sacrificed a golden wishful stick, and muttered: "Go!"

next moment.

The golden Ruyi flew towards Qinglian on the road.

Strange to say, Daoqinglian, who was still aggressive before, turned a blind eye to the golden Ruyi flying towards it.

Soon, the golden Ruyi knocked on the petals of Dao Qinglian.

"Clap!"

With a muffled sound.

A lotus seed flew straight out of the lotus pod of Daoqinglian.

This lotus seed is the same color as Dao Qinglian, its whole body is blue.

As soon as the cyan lotus seeds flew out of the lotus pod, they were wrapped in golden Ruyi and flew back into Jiang Yan's hands.

Jiang Yan put away the golden Ruyi, handed the green lotus seed to Su Ming, and said, "Take it."

"Yes."

Su Ming took the blue lotus seeds, he didn't dare to look at them more, and directly put them into the Qiankun ring.

Seeing that Su Ming put away the Qinglian Heart, Jiang Yan continued: "Before taking it, if you can raise the Soul Realm to the Nascent Soul Stage, you will be sure to raise your cultivation level to the Nascent Soul Stage.

You are now at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, and you are only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage. How to choose, you can decide for yourself. "

"Yes, Headmaster!"

Su Ming nodded with a serious face.

"Go, let's go out."

After all, Jiang Yan flew directly out of the forbidden area in Dunguang.

Su Ming didn't dare to neglect, followed closely behind, and flew out of the forbidden area together.

After half an hour.

Following the fluctuation of the light curtain guarding the formation in the forbidden area, two rays of light flew out from the formation.

It was Su Ming and Jiang Yan.

"Take Qinglian's Heart as soon as possible, Master Gongyang's time is running out."

After flying out of the forbidden area, Jiang Yan said such a sentence with a complicated expression, and it turned into a ball of white light and disappeared completely in place.

"Congratulations to the head teacher."

Su Ming bowed his hands in the direction where Jiang Yan disappeared, then raised his head, turned into a ray of light and left the place.

After leaving the forbidden area.

Su Ming directly left the secret realm in the early days, and returned to Mingcai Peak where he and Gong Xiaocai lived without stopping.

Ming Caifeng.

Su Ming's escape light stopped in front of the palace in front of the dojo.

The moment he set foot on Mingcai Peak Dojo, a spiritual warning suddenly rose.

The next moment, Su Ming's spiritual consciousness directly enveloped the entire Mingcai Peak.

"Come out."

Su Ming said coldly.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Ming.

This figure is none other than Gongyang Xun's disciple, Yu Wenming.

At this moment, Yu Wenming's face was no longer calm and indifferent as before, and a haze lingered on his brows.

Only from his expression, Su Ming could feel the soaring resentment from the other party.

"Vice-principal Yu."

Su Ming bowed his hands to Yu Wenming.

When Yu Wenming saw Su Ming, he didn't talk nonsense immediately, and directly stretched out his hand and said, "Su Ming, hand over Qinglian's heart."

"Vice-principal Yu, are you trying to rob him?"

"Su Ming, you are a smart person, why are you pretending to be crazy here!"

Yu Wenming said with a sullen face, "With your current foundation and prestige in the sect, even if you can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, you will not be able to secure the position of the master of the Taoist Academy!

It's better to give me this opportunity, I promise you, when I become the head teacher of Xianxia Sect, I will definitely let you be the head of the Taoist Academy! "
