Chapter 453: Step by Step (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
There seems to be a natural barrier between the inner and outer layers of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which has never been a substantial barrier for cultivators or monsters.
But once you cross the dividing line between the inside and the outside, the various naturally existing factors are very different between the inside and the outside, such as miasma, toxins, spiritual power, etc.
"Cough cough cough" Fang entered it, the thick miasma entered his mouth and nose, and he immediately coughed violently, and a deep red color appeared on his face uncontrollably.
Before Sun Mingsheng officially entered here, he had refined a second-level high-quality elixir specially used to expel and restrain miasma in order to be on the safe side.
In the past cultivation career, Sun Mingsheng had also encountered miasma of different concentrations several times. Usually, this high-quality elixir was enough to use, and he could enter and exit freely under the condition of ensuring his own safety.
But he never expected that today when he entered the miasma, the effect of this elixir specially used to expel miasma was greatly reduced.
The slightly sweet miasma entered his mouth and nose, and he felt dizzy for the first time.
"The effect of this miasma is comparable to some poisons. The entire depth of the Ten Thousand Mountains is full of this level of miasma? How much combat power can it exert?"
Suddenly entering this unfamiliar environment, Sun Mingsheng inevitably had some self-doubt.
The erosion around the monks, these miasma seemed to have a natural attraction to this strange visitor, and the light shield formed by the mana could only barely last for a short time.
Sun Mingsheng went forward with all his strength, and after half an hour, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was slightly relieved after leaving the range of the miasma.
These miasma seemed to be the first test for strange monks to enter this place, and their area would not expand arbitrarily.
In just half an hour, Sun Mingsheng's mana in Dantian was consumed by one-third, and there were countless wounds of different shapes and sizes all over his body.
"In order to win, you must first consider defeat. This time, when you enter the second-level area deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, you still need to be cautious and take every step carefully."
After the miasma, Sun Mingsheng had a deeper understanding of this unfamiliar area.
Therefore, he did not rush forward, but took out the jade slips he had traded with the Soul Refining Sect and read them in detail and comprehensively, trying to have a preliminary understanding of this place.
In the jade slips provided by the Soul Refining Sect, the situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was only a rough division. Some relatively detailed understandings were all from the areas that had been explored before.
The areas specially marked as dangerous were exchanged by the sect at the cost of blood, which was a factor that Sun Mingsheng had to avoid and stay away from.
After all, Sun Mingsheng came here just to find some opportunities to seek the opportunity to condense the golden elixir in the future, but he did not break into it knowing that he would be defeated and give up his life in vain.
Therefore, he had already carefully planned this trip early, so he would naturally not act rashly as before.
As for the first target, he also had a target in mind. According to the information on the jade slip obtained from Fang Yiquan of the Soul Refining Sect, there is a spiritual mountain suitable for ginseng growth about three to five thousand miles away from him.
Ginseng is very abundant in the cultivation world, and the consumption is also huge, especially some high-year ginseng is in short supply.
This ginseng mountain is full of spiritual power, with towering trees of different shapes and types. There are a large number of rich spiritual springs flowing down from the top of the ginseng mountain as a supplement.
Therefore, under the cover of layers of rotten leaves near the roots of some big trees, a large number of ginsengs of different ages are growing quietly.
According to the records of the Soul Refining Sect, there are quite a few spiritual ginsengs of about 500 years old on the ginseng mountain, and those of about 1,000 years old can be seen frequently, and those of about 3,000 years old can be seen occasionally if luck is good.
An elder of the Soul Refining Sect once picked a spiritual ginseng of 8,000 years old here, and after refining it, he achieved a leap in cultivation.
Of course, spiritual ginseng is important to cultivators, and is one of the important spiritual objects that are indispensable in the process of cultivation promotion, but it is also equally important to monsters.
Moreover, there are no special requirements for the type and grade of monsters in refining spiritual ginseng, and its medicinal properties are also gradually improved without causing too obvious impact on the monster's body.
Therefore, there are also many second-level monsters living on the Ginseng Mountain, and compared with other locations, there is no fixed rule for the types of monsters here. It is possible to encounter monsters of different grades and types at different locations at any time, which is a big test for the cultivator's ability to cope with it.
"If you can get enough spiritual ginseng, it will have a significant auxiliary effect on the assistance and promotion of cultivation after direct refining, and it will play an important role in consolidating the foundation of cultivation and impacting the ninth level of foundation building in the future."
Sun Mingsheng has a lot of interest in the Ginseng Mountain. On the one hand, it can be used as a trial to enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and on the other hand, the role of ginseng is naturally beyond doubt.
Two days later, Sun Mingsheng restored the mana in his dantian to its fullness, and set up a powerful array of talismans under a relatively hidden bush as a backup option just in case.
Obviously, after the cruel lesson of the dragon snake incident, his vigilance is obvious, especially when he is in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment.
At present, Sun Mingsheng is at the outermost edge of the second-level area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Once he encounters a strong enemy, it is also the best escape route.
According to Sun Mingsheng's plan, starting from here, as he continues to move deeper into the second-level area, he will arrange some array flags or arrays according to the changes in the environment at a fixed distance.
In addition, Sun Mingsheng will leave a small number of second-level black-striped ants lurking nearby as a warning at each array.
After the loss of almost annihilation in the last battle, under the erosion of this sense of crisis, the queen ant has successfully promoted to the second-level middle grade.
With the supplement of a large amount of blood food, there are now more than a thousand second-level low-grade black-striped ants and a black-striped ant colony with a number of more than 30,000, forming combat power again.
This time, when going to the second-level area for exploration, these black-striped ants can be used again. Whether it is exploration or combat, they can play an excellent role at critical moments.
Three days later, a mountain that stood upright like a sword appeared in front of Sun Mingsheng. If there were no spiritual streams flowing around the mountain, he would not be sure that this was the famous Shenshan Mountain.
According to his imagination, this should be a slowly rising spiritual mountain with fertile soil, dense trees and shady trees. The actual situation of the spiritual mountain standing upright in front of him is completely different, and he was naturally stunned.
