Start with a space

Ahead was the edge of a dark forest.

Each tree is like a towering pillar, at least three hundred feet high.

The lush green leaves, layer upon layer, seem to form a vast green sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

"Wow, the trees here are more lush and taller than those in the Endless Forest!"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked around and saw what seemed to be an endless sea of ​​forests in front of him. He was slightly startled and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then, Zhang Xiaoshan took a deep breath and felt refreshed. His eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

The concentration of spiritual energy in this air is more than fifty times higher than that in the Endless Forest! I just took a breath of this spiritual energy and my whole body felt extremely comfortable!"

"Sir, we are now only at the edge of the Dark Forest."

Cangshui Zhenren smiled slightly and said slowly: "If you go with me to Black Wood City, the concentration of spiritual energy there will be more concentrated than here.

Of course, the concentration of spiritual energy in the depths of the Dark Forest is far higher than this."

"This is really a great place to practice!"

Wang Yi also nodded and said with emotion: "When Master Cangshui talked about how good the Dark Forest was, I was a little skeptical.

Seeing it with my own eyes now is truly astonishing!"

"Yes, this is indeed a nice place." Zhang Xiaoshan nodded slightly and said.

"Sir, since you are so interested in this place, how about coming with me to Blackwood City as soon as possible?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan looked slightly excited, Master Cangshui quickly made a suggestion with a smile.

"Okay, let's go to Heimu City and go directly to your Cang family." Zhang Xiaoshan said after a little thought.

"Yes!"

Zhenren Cangshui immediately responded and said yes.

Then, the three of them took off into the air, with Master Cangshui walking in front to lead the way, and they flew quickly towards the direction of Heimu City.

Zhang Xiaoshan was moving quickly along the edge of the vast forest, looking around.

The surrounding forests were lush and green.

Moreover, along the way, he also saw many low-level spiritual herbs, and even some first-grade spiritual herbs.

What was particularly surprising was that on the way, Zhang Xiaoshan actually discovered some second-grade spiritual plants, which surprised him.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaoshan picked some second-grade spiritual plants from time to time and planted them in the Shenmu Tower.

Three days later, Zhang Xiaoshan followed Master Cangshui to the vicinity of Heimu City.

I saw a huge city standing in front of me, like a giant dragon, stretching for four or five hundred miles.

When we arrived at the entrance of Blackwood City, we saw people coming and going in an endless stream.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked around and saw that everyone of the people coming in and out exuded a powerful aura, and many of them were actually cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Wow, the streets are full of foundation-building cultivators. This is too scary!"

When Wang Yi saw this scene, he couldn't help but shout in surprise.

He knew that in Lingmu Sect, the foundation-building monks were all core disciples. He did not expect that at the entrance of Blackwood City, there were foundation-building monks everywhere.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at this scene with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then, Zhang Xiaoshan said to Cangshui Zhenren: "Cangshui, take me to your family. I am going to practice in seclusion."

"Okay." Master Cangshui nodded quickly in response.

Master Cangshui took Zhang Xiaoshan and Wang Yi for a leisurely stroll in Heimu City, and then slowly came to the gate of a huge mansion with magnificent momentum and vast area.

"Master Cang is back!"

"Master Cang, you are back."

As soon as the three men stepped into the courtyard, seven or eight people from the courtyard quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully and spoke.

Cangshui Zhenren nodded slightly, then said loudly to the cultivators in the palace in front of him: "

Everyone, be quiet, I will introduce you to it."

As he spoke, Master Cangshui pointed to Zhang Xiaoshan beside him and said solemnly: "This is the distinguished guest I invited. From now on, whenever you see him, you must address him as Master Zhang."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

Immediately, a group of monks in the mansion bowed repeatedly and shouted to Zhang Xiaoshan in unison.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded calmly.

Afterwards, Master Cangshui waved his hand gently, and the group of cultivators in the mansion dispersed and went about their own business.

Soon, Master Cangshui led Zhang Xiaoshan to a house in the deepest part of the mansion.

Inside this house and around the courtyard, there were lush and verdant flowers, plants and trees. What was surprising was that every flower and plant was a first-grade spiritual herb.

Moreover, a wonderful formation was carefully laid out around this house. Wisps of spiritual energy floating in the air slowly gathered into the courtyard as the formation quietly operated.

"Sir, this house is where I usually practice. Since you want to retreat, it is most suitable to practice here."

Master Cangshui said with a smile on his face.

"You are thoughtful." Zhang Xiaoshan nodded slightly and said.

However, in reality, when Zhang Xiaoshan was practicing, he didn't care whether the concentration of spiritual energy in the air in the house was good or bad. He only needed to enter the space bead to practice.

"Sir, I have set up a first-grade spirit gathering formation around the place where I practice in my house. The spiritual energy in the air can automatically gather in my courtyard. The speed of my practice here is twice that of outside the house."

Cangshui Zhenren looked very proud and said, "If you practice here, I believe your practice speed will be much faster."

"The cultivation environment here is hundreds of times better than the Lingmu Sect where I am." Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

"Of course." Master Cangshui replied with a smile.

"Master Cang, the five hundred mature second-grade spiritual herbs you requested and the five immature third-grade spiritual herbs are all in this wooden box."

At this time, a young monk came over quickly with a huge wooden box in his hands and spoke.

"Sir, I have brought you the spiritual herbs you requested. I wish you can cultivate to the early stage of Nascent Soul as soon as possible."

Master Cangshui nodded, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and said with a smile.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, since this Cangshui Master has 500 mature second-grade spiritual herbs, I believe he may have some unripe second-grade spiritual herbs in his house."

At this time, Master Bai in the Shenmu Tower sent a message to Zhang Xiaoshan: "By the way, ask him if he has any seeds of the second-grade spiritual herbs. If he does, please come. I will plant them all in the Shenmu Tower."

"Cangshui, you did a great job." Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, looked at Master Cangshui and said with a smile.

"It is my duty to do things for you, sir." Master Cangshui said respectfully.

"Cangshui, since you were able to send 500 mature second-grade spiritual herbs, I guess you still have unripe second-grade spiritual herbs and second-grade spiritual herb seeds in your house, right?"

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment and spoke.
