"This... Hey, that's not right! Could this be the legendary mountain dragon?!"
In the Mountain Dragon Cave, Zhao Jinjian ignored the tree roots that filled the cave, and his eyes were fixed on the huge mountain dragon remains, his expression extremely shocked.
He ran over eagerly and touched the rough petrified hide of the mountain dragon with his own hands, his expression instantly becoming one of deep regret.
"What a pity! It would be great if it were still alive!"
Zhao Sheng, who was standing nearby, heard this and was filled with resentment. He thought, "If Shanlong were still alive, the three of us would have died long ago."
Zhao Xuanjing, however, didn't pay much attention to the mountain dragon. He was young and had never heard of its fame. Instead, he was very interested in the spirit earthworms that were burrowing in and out.
He ran over happily, picked up a piece as thick as his arm, played with it in his hands, shook it and touched it, having a lot of fun.
"Uncle Qi, what is this? Why does it look like an enlarged earthworm? Also, the spiritual energy here is so rich! It's much stronger than Taiwu Mountain."
Zhao Sheng explained: "Xuan Jing, this is a spirit earthworm, which is a close relative of the earthworm."
The spirit earthworm is gentle and non-aggressive by nature. No matter how Zhao Xuanjing plays with it, it seems to feel nothing and instead becomes closer to him.
Zhao Sheng was puzzled when he saw this, and thought to himself that it might be because of their similar attributes.
Zhao Xuanjing has three spiritual roots of earth, gold and wood. He mainly studies "The Art of Infinite Thick Earth" and his earth-based spiritual power is extremely pure.
After Zhao Xuanjing's reminder, Zhao Jinjian suddenly realized that the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave was extremely high, comparable to the spiritual orifice of a second-level spiritual vein.
He looked ecstatic and couldn't help but excitedly said, "Ancestors, please bless us! There is hope for our Zhao family to rise again!"
Although Taiwu Mountain is good, it can only support foundation-building cultivators at most. However, this cave is enough for immortal cultivators to practice all the way to the Golden Elixir realm.
More importantly, this spiritual cave is unique to the Zhao family, unlike Taiwu Mountain, which is a rented spiritual vein. They have to worry about being driven away every hundred years.
What does this represent?
Zhao Jinjian knew it very well.
This is the Zhao family's last resort, meaning that even if the family declines or even falls to the brink of extinction, as long as this spiritual cave is not exposed, the Zhao family will rise again sooner or later.
It was not until then that he suddenly understood why Chonghe had repeatedly made all kinds of unreasonable actions in the past decade or so.
"Chonghe, you are awesome!"
Facing Zhao Jinjian, who was so excited that he was talking incoherently, Zhao Sheng smiled without saying a word.
As early as the day he discovered the Mountain Dragon Cave, he had decided to make it the Zhao family's secret residence and also the most core secret base of the Anbu.
And Zhao Xuanjing was the leader of the current Anbu whom he had spent ten years to select.
In the past few years, he made countless preparations for this day.
At this moment, Zhao Jinjian suddenly asked eagerly, "Chonghe, do you still have the Shanlong Dragon Ball?"
"Huh?!" Zhao Sheng's face turned red when he heard this.
Dragon Ball? He seemed to have forgotten to dig it out.
…
Three days later,
Zhao Jinjian grabbed handfuls of spiritual soil and carefully spread it evenly into the medicine field.
Half of this spiritual soil is the excrement of spiritual earthworms, and the other half is obtained by crushing some tiny fragments of mountain dragon remains.
After being awakened by Zhao Jinjian three days ago, the three Zhao Shengs used magic swords and magical tools to dig out the remains of the mountain dragon. It took them two days to carve a passage in the mountain dragon's body, and finally found a stone ball more than one meter tall in its abdomen.
The stone balls are the dragon balls, but unfortunately most of them have turned to stone.
Zhao Sheng carefully peeled off the dragon ball layer by layer, and finally got a topaz bead as big as a head.
A blessing in disguise.
There was still a faint yellow light rising and flowing from the bead, which meant that the last bit of the mountain dragon's essence still remained inside.
Boom!
Bursts of loud noises and explosions came from the caves on the mountain wall.
A moment later, Zhao Sheng came out from inside, walked to the edge of the broken ground, opened the storage bag, and poured a pile of rubble into the abyss.
A day ago, the cave began its second round of large-scale renovations and upgrades. A large number of cave buildings, including training rooms, rest rooms, quiet rooms, talisman making rooms, alchemy rooms, storage rooms, etc., were all to be opened up.
Zhao Sheng calculated that it would take about a month to complete the development of the Zhao family secret residence.
However, he planned to entrust the important task of opening up the cave to Zhao Xuanjing.
But he and Zhao Jinjian have more important things to do.
Zhao Sheng tapped his feet lightly, and his body floated up and flew to a concave area three meters high on the mountain wall.
This depression has been dug more than four meters deep into the mountain wall. The rubble on the ground has been cleared away, revealing the uneven yellow-white wooden cross-section. A closer look reveals that it is covered with densely packed circular growth rings.
This is actually a huge wooden stake with a diameter of more than four meters.
"Fourth Master." Zhao Sheng shouted to Zhao Jinjian from afar.
After hearing this, Zhao Jinjian straightened up, brushed off the broken spiritual soil in his hands, and replied, "I'll be right there."
After saying that, Zhao Jinjian leaped up and flew over a distance of six feet in the blink of an eye, landing next to Zhao Sheng.
"Chonghe, are you sure?" he asked with concern.
Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "At most a 10% chance, but it's enough to take a gamble."
Zhao Jinjian looked at the huge tree stump and recalled the unimaginably thick tree roots in the cave, and he fell silent.
If it works.
He couldn't imagine what kind of rare treasures would be born.
Zhao Sheng took out a bottle of Zixia Yulu and handed it to Zhao Jinjian.
He then took out the Small Zhoutian Talisman Plate, which was shimmering with dazzling light and a halo of light. Seventy-two eighteen-fold Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Talismans and nine second-level Sweet Rain Talismans were prominently displayed on it.
Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Fourth Master, let's do it!"
Um,
Zhao Jinjian nodded, and a red rainbow sword appeared in his hand.
The next second, a red sword light burst out from the Chihong Sword and instantly sank into the tree stump.
Snap!
With a slight sound, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the tree stump, which was only three inches long.
As early as a day ago, the two were shocked to discover that the material of the tree stump was different and was harder than they had imagined.
Even with Zhao Sheng's cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining and holding a top-grade magic sword, he couldn't hurt it at all.
From this point alone, the two knew that this tree stump could at least be used to refine spiritual weapons.
But unfortunately, using it to refine spiritual weapons is a waste of resources.
Bang,
Snap!
The sword light swirled up and down, and Zhao Jinjian slashed out nearly a hundred times in a row, finally creating a crack more than a foot deep in the wooden stake.
"alright."
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng hurriedly stopped Zhao Jinjian.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinjian took a step back and made room, while watching Zhao Sheng's subsequent actions intently.
Zhao Sheng walked to the crack, waved his hand and took out the piece of spiritual peach branch from the spiritual plant bag.
In the dim environment, the branches of the spiritual peach tree are shining with green light, and their delicate and beautiful appearance makes them look even more full of vitality.
Zhao Sheng carefully inserted the lower end of the peach branch into the crack.
Then, he quickly took out another bottle of Zixia Yulu and poured it into the crack.
After emptying the bottle, he saw that it was not full yet, so he poured another half bottle.
Until spiritual waves rippled in the cracks, vitality surged, and mist condensed and rose up uncontrollably.
Zhao Shengcai took a step back, his eyes fixed on that place, not missing any unusual thing.
