Half a day later, the medicinal herbs in the medicine field became much sparser and the ground was a little bumpy.
Zhao Sheng carefully placed the last red fire ganoderma into the storage bag.
Then, he took out the elixir seeds that he had prepared long ago, carefully scattered them in the empty space of the medicine field, and finally covered them with soil.
After doing these things, Zhao Sheng suddenly found himself facing another difficult problem.
What should we do with the Jade Blood Tree?
His storage bag had limited space and he couldn't take it with him.
Killing the chicken to get the eggs?
Zhao Sheng would never do such a stupid thing.
As long as the Jade Blood Tree is alive, it will produce a steady supply of Jade Blood.
Steady and steady progress is the best way to go!
Zhao Sheng thought about it for a while and decided not to touch it for the time being.
Not only that, Zhao Sheng also temporarily gave up the idea of extracting the blood.
Extracting the green blood will inevitably greatly affect the growth of the treasure tree.
At this time, Zhao Sheng had already developed greater ambitions in his heart.
If you wait until the next life.
Thinking of the wonderful future, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but smile.
Time is always on his side.
After resting for a while, Zhao Sheng took out a pickaxe from his storage bag and slowly walked to the pile of rubble on the mountain wall.
Bang bang bang!
With bursts of digging and knocking sounds, Zhao Sheng began his journey of digging a hole.
The spiritual vein must be hidden inside the mountain.
What Zhao Sheng needs to do now is to dig a passage leading to the spiritual vein.
After digging for a while, Zhao Sheng suddenly stopped what he was doing and his expression became a little shocked.
There are actually thick tree roots growing inside the mountain wall?
It looks like the remaining roots of that incredibly huge mysterious giant tree.
And looking at the direction of the tree roots, it seems to be growing towards the spiritual vein.
In order to verify this idea, Zhao Sheng took the initiative to dig into the mountain along the direction of the tree roots.
Two days later, Zhao Sheng had dug a tunnel three meters deep and one meter high.
Standing at the end of the tunnel, Zhao Sheng could feel a slight increase in the concentration of spiritual energy around him.
Although it is very small, it can be distinguished.
As it turned out, his guess was correct.
As the excavation went deeper, Zhao Sheng discovered to his distress that the tree roots in the mountain had become denser and often hindered his excavation.
Despite this, Zhao Sheng carefully avoided these tree roots.
Because the tree roots here not only look more "fresh" than those on the slope, but also exude a hint of vitality.
This made Zhao Sheng extremely surprised.
A certain thought he had in his previous life came to his mind again at this moment.
…
A month later,
Zhao Sheng crawled out of the cave passage covered in dust and dirt, and poured the gravel in the storage bag onto the huge pile of stones next to the cave.
After a month of continuous excavation, the tunnel had grown to over a hundred feet long. However, there was still no trace of the spiritual vein, though the concentration of spiritual energy had increased significantly, almost matching that of the core of the Longli Lake spiritual vein.
Various signs indicate that this spiritual vein is of higher grade than the Longli Lake spiritual vein, and it may even be a second-grade spiritual vein.
After dumping the stones, Zhao Sheng was about to return to the cave, but suddenly he heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from the clouds above his head, like the muffled thunder that kept exploding during a rainy day. The thunder sound came from far away and was oppressive.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Sheng looked surprised and had a vague sense of foreboding.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a series of fine crackling sounds coming from the mountain wall, as if something was freezing.
In an instant, Zhao Sheng felt the temperature outside drop sharply, and then he saw frost quickly condensing on the mountain wall.
As a sharp whistle suddenly passed by his ears, a cold current rushed down from the fog above, brushed past Zhao Sheng's scalp, and instantly hit the mountain wall.
In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of white frost condensed near the mountain wall.
The temperature of the cold wave was extremely low, and the chill penetrated Zhao Sheng's bones and marrow, making his face numb and his hands and feet frozen stiff.
Zhao Sheng's face turned pale when he saw this, and he cried out in shock: "Oh no! This year's cold wave has come early."
At this moment, the surrounding fog began to become turbulent, and countless cold cyclones suddenly descended from the sky, constantly stirring the surrounding fog.
The temperature dropped sharply again.
Zhao Sheng saw countless white ice chips suddenly appear in the fog and fall down, looking very much like ice and snow.
But he knew very well that this kind of ice chips was far "colder" than ice and snow.
As the temperature dropped to freezing point, the concentration of fog around dropped sharply.
Zhao Sheng suddenly found that his vision had never been so clear.
But he wished this had not happened.
Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky, but saw that the end of his sight was occupied by endless white.
What frightened him was that a white line emerged from the upper sea of clouds, extending from top to bottom and from left to right to an unknown extent.
The white cold wave was boundless, crushing everything with overwhelming force.
Given the height of Tianzhu Mountain, it is not uncommon to have cold winds and cold waves, which is a reflection of the unique climate of Tianzhu Mountain.
But every year when the cold wave comes, there are always signs of it, and it is never as sudden as it was today.
The weather was very cold and the air should have naturally cooled down, but the cold currents from Tianzhu Mountain were known for being chaotic.
Amidst the disturbance of cyclones in the sky, countless cold currents between heaven and earth transformed into bone-piercing "ice spears", piercing for thousands of feet and whistling back and forth with the surrounding clouds and mist.
It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine such a grand vision unless they see it with their own eyes.
This is a natural disaster!
It cannot be stopped by human power!
Just when Zhao Sheng wanted to hide in the cave, the monsters and ferocious birds living in the area also sensed the coming cold wave.
These beasts and birds, which were usually fearless and ferocious by nature, seemed to be very afraid of the cold wave. They fled, some jumped down, and some hid in the cracks in the rocks.
No matter which option you choose, you must avoid this natural disaster.
In the blink of an eye, the number of living beings in Zhao Sheng's sight had decreased by more than half.
But there were also a small number of unlucky people who did not have time to avoid the front of the cold wave and were swallowed up by the cold wave while they were halfway through their escape.
"Something's gone terribly wrong!"
"This is a huge problem!"
Also in Tianzhu Mountain, but on the sunny side, countless herbalists looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, their faces changed drastically and their hearts were shocked.
Most cultivators are very superstitious.
Most people firmly believe that the Tianzhu Mountain cold wave would not come earlier than expected for no reason, and it would come three months earlier than expected.
It must be a strange omen. And some great change must have happened in the sea of clouds above Tianzhu Mountain.
Maybe a great disaster is about to happen, or maybe a new secret realm is about to emerge!
On the other side, in the sloping medicinal garden, Zhao Sheng was quickly cleaning up his mess.
At this time, the surrounding fog was blown into ice particles by the cold air, dancing wildly in the wind, exuding a suffocating chill.
The cold wave advanced at an extremely fast speed, and countless monsters engaged in a frenzied killing spree in order to fight for their lives.
Before entering the cave, Zhao Sheng turned around and looked up. At a glance, he saw the sky full of blood, flesh, scales and feathers flying. Countless monsters and birds, big and small, were fleeing and fighting in the air, and the roars of beasts and the cries of birds resounded through the sky.
Bang!
Zhao Sheng quickly brought a large pile of rubble and blocked the entrance of the cave.
The cave soon became pitch black.
Boo!
After a slight sound, a fist-sized fireball suddenly appeared in Zhao Sheng's palm.
The fireball instantly illuminated the cave.
With light, people will instinctively relax.
Listening to the faint whistling and roaring sounds coming from outside the cave, Zhao Sheng's nervous mood surprisingly calmed down.
He quickly built a fire to combat the cold surroundings.
