Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 763 Nine-Leaf Black Lotus

There are many carrion-eating insects in this cave. More than a dozen of them appeared within just a few miles, but their strength is average.

Wherever Chen Yunhao and his two companions passed, the swamp became bustling with activity. Many poisonous insects began to eat carrion worms.

You should know that the poisonous insects here advance by devouring other poisonous insects.

In particular, the carrion worms are the highest-level creatures in this swamp. The energy contained in their bodies is a feast for other poisonous insects and an opportunity for promotion.

The three of them walked through four or five caves without stopping, and finally came to a slightly smaller cave.

“This is it…!”

Cai Lingyun looked around, but his brows were furrowed.

The cave is not big, only a hundred miles in radius, and they can see it clearly with their spiritual sense.

Chen Yunhao also released his spiritual sense and scanned it. The cave was so small, and the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus was a spiritual object, so it was impossible not to notice it.

"Could it be that someone else got there first?"

Zhao Yuyang shook his head.

"We can search the surrounding caves again. Maybe the monk's memory is inaccurate!"

Chen Yunhao made some suggestions.

Since we have come all the way here, it might as well look for it a little longer.

"Let's search separately and meet back here later...!"

Cai Lingyun thought for a moment and said.

Chen Yunhao looked at Cai Lingyun and Zhao Yuyang, one going east and the other going west, but he was walking slowly towards the north. They came from the south and it was impossible for them to go back.

The three of them chose their directions randomly, and Chen Yunhao was no exception.

The passages in the cave are interconnected, with large caves inside small caves. Even in the northward direction, there is more than one passage, at least three or five.

When Chen Yunhao was about to randomly choose a passage to enter, the voice of the weapon spirit came from his mind.

"Enter from the far right...!"

Chen Yunhao didn't even stop for a moment. He turned in the air and entered from the rightmost passage.

This passage is very narrow, barely enough for a person to pass through sideways.

But behind the passage is a larger cave. After entering, you can clearly smell a faint fragrance mixed in with the fishy poisonous gas.

As soon as he passed through the passage, Chen Yunhao felt a little alert.

Just as he had guessed, the mud below suddenly splashed up high, and a scavenger worm as big as two of his men rushed out of the mud.

This turned out to be a combined carrion beetle, the most powerful carrion beetle they had seen since they came in.

According to common sense in the world of immortal cultivation, there will always be monsters guarding any natural treasure.

In this underground world, monsters are rare, so the only creatures left are carrion-eating insects.

Nine-leaf black lotus, one leaf is one thousand years, nine leaves are nine thousand years, which is not much different from ten thousand years.

Once it truly reaches ten thousand years, this carrion worm will swallow the nine-leaf black lotus, and its strength will leap from the fusion stage to the Mahayana stage.

Of course, this is only divided according to the strength of human cultivators, and the actual division is somewhat similar to that of Qinchong.

Even if the carrion beetles were to combine their strength, they were still no match for Chen Yunhao.

This scavenger was very fast. Its huge head was a giant mouth full of fangs. The mud splashed into the air, and its huge mouthparts were already in front of Chen Yunhao.

Chen Yunhao's expression was calm, but there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

He raised his hand and a flash of sword light appeared, as if it were an illusion, so fast that it was astonishing.

The sword light flashed silently across the head of the carrion worm, as if a ray of light passed through its body, without any blood or flesh flying, as if the light was illusory.

But only Chen Yunhao knew that his attack was fatal.

This was his first time using the Wentian Sword. If Zhao Yuyang and Cai Lingyun were there, he would not have dared to use it.

This sword was just a shadow of sword light, but its effect was much stronger than his Sky-Breaking Sword.

The carrion worm, which had achieved the state of fusion cultivation, stopped moving forward at that moment.

After the sword light completely disappeared, the huge head of the carrion worm began to emit blood, then it split into two and fell into the mud.

If it weren't for the Wentian Sword, Chen Yunhao would have to spend at least a lot of effort, but now it is so simple, which shows the importance of having a sharp weapon in hand.

As Chen Yunhao scanned with his spiritual sense, he found a stone mortar a few hundred feet away on the right. There was a pool of spiritual liquid in it, and a black lotus was floating in the spiritual liquid.

It was the legendary nine-leaf black lotus, black from head to toe, including the roots and tendrils.

When light shines on the black lotus, it seems to be absorbed, especially when it is hidden in the corner, it is as if it is invisible and cannot be found.

However, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus could not be hidden.

Chen Yunhao's mind moved, and he summoned the Qin Chong, asking the Qin Chong to help him test it out.

Although Qinchong is not used much nowadays, Chen Yunhao is still cultivating it vigorously and is not stingy with all kinds of good things.

Therefore, after hundreds of years, the strength of the Qinchong has become roughly equal to that of the human race, which is equivalent to the middle stage of the fusion.

However, the body of the qin insect has become even smaller. Now it is less than half a meter long and as thin as a forearm. It is even more inconspicuous, just like an ordinary flower snake.

But if someone underestimates it, they will definitely suffer a great loss. The strength of the Qin insect is much stronger than that of human cultivators of the same level.

I saw the lyreworm flying slowly over the mud. The mud below was quiet. Even the poisonous insects wandering around or eating the carrion bugs stopped moving and dared not make a sound.

This is the kingly style of the Qin insect, the top existence among all demon insects, enough to intimidate all demon insects in the world, including all kinds of poisonous insects in the swamp.

Only then did Chen Yunhao slowly fly to the side of the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus. Without bothering to look at it carefully, he put his two fingers together into a sword shape, drew a circle in the air, and directly dug out the huge stone mortar where the Nine-Leaf Black Lotus was located.

This thing came into his hands first, so naturally he wanted to make a copy. He wouldn't eat it all by himself.

The Nine-Leaf Black Lotus has very strict requirements for its growing environment. Although Chen Yunhao dug it up with its roots and stems, neither his own Spirit Island nor the Qiankun Tree Space met the requirements here.

Therefore, he would have to think of another way to preserve it. It would be best if he could continue to let it grow for about ten thousand years, which would be of great use to him by then.

As soon as he entered the space, Chen Yunhao used the ancient mirror to copy a nine-leaf black lotus and put it in a spirit box.

They returned to the place where they had just parted along the same route. Cai Lingyun and Zhao Yuyang had not returned yet. They must have gone to explore caves farther away.

Chen Yunhao just waited quietly there. Although this underground environment was unique, it could only produce one nine-leaf black lotus at most, no more.
