Lu Ping quickly retreated from the golden zone. Judging from the current situation, it was just as Liao Hu said — Lu Ping could only stay in the golden zone for an hour at most, and this didn't include the possibility of being attacked by the poisonous beasts.
Lu Ping rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. He put Samling into the range of his earth energy, then let Samling inject his own demon spiritual energy into the "Water Curtain Heaven Flower".
Samling was very familiar with Lu Ping's Fa Li, so it was easy for Lu Ping and Samling's Fa Li to fuse into the earth energy.
Lu Ping stepped into the golden area again and found that the golden mist was still corroding Lu Ping's earth energy. But at the same time, the mist that came into contact with the earth energy was also weakened. At this time, three demon spiritual energies appeared in Lu Ping's earth energy and wrapped the weakened mist into Samling's mouth, which was then absorbed by Samling.
In this way, Lu Ping's Fa Li consumption was greatly reduced. Lu Ping felt that he could last for eight hours in the golden area.
Lu Ping confidently entered the golden area. Just as he advanced a few dozen feet, he saw a skeleton lying on the ground. The skeleton had been turned over by someone. It seemed that Liao Hu had gotten here before him.
The skeletons found in the inner layer had already been corroded by the poisonous mist. But this skeleton had been corroded by far more poisonous mist than the inner layer, yet it was still intact. Obviously, this was the skeleton of a Core Forging Master. It seemed that Liao Hu had obtained some kind of treasure.
Lu Ping continued forward and collected 24 rare thousand year spirit herbs in a row. This made Lu Ping very excited, but at the same time, he wondered why he didn't encounter any poisonous beasts guarding the spirit herbs!
Lu Ping secretly became vigilant. He held the talisman that his teacher, Liu Xuanling, gave him tightly in his hand.
Lu Ping followed the directions on the map in the jade slip and found the Golden Nut Fruit Tree on the other side of the golden area. No wonder someone could find this fruit tree. It turned out that it was on the other side of the core area. Presumably, the person who found it couldn't enter the core area.
Strictly speaking, the Golden Nut was not a spiritual herb that could increase one's cultivation. The biggest use of the Golden Nut was to increase the strength of one's bones.
A cultivator's magic power was carried by their bloodline, but the bloodline was carried by the cultivator's fleshly body. When a cultivator absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would also cleanse the cultivator's fleshly body, making it stronger and able to carry even more magic power.
It could be said that a tyrannical body was an important aspect for a cultivator to consolidate their foundation. It played an important role in helping a cultivator to break through realms and progress further on the path of cultivation. Legend had it that Laozu, who was in the Dharma phase, placed great importance on the strengthening of his physical body. As for the exact reason, Lu Ping did not know.
In order to strengthen the fleshly body, cultivators in the world of cultivation came up with all kinds of training methods. However, most of the methods could not compare to the natural cleansing and strengthening of the body after the spiritual energy entered the body.
Cultivators could only work on elixirs, but there were very few elixirs that could strengthen the fleshly body. However, the Golden Nut was one of the few spiritual fruits that could strengthen the fleshly body. If it was combined with dozens of 500-year-old spiritual herbs and 1,000-year-old spiritual herbs to refine the Golden Nut Pill, the effect would be even stronger.
The Golden Nut Fruit Tree was only three feet tall. There were thirty-six Golden Nuts on it. This kind of fruit usually matured once every hundred years. However, the Golden Nut Tree would only start bearing fruit when it reached 3,000 years of age.
Lu Ping plucked twenty of the matured Golden Nuts. Then, he used the Qinghan Sword to cut open the ground within a radius of ten meters from the root of the tree. He then opened the Thousand Bell Millet magic tool and transplanted the entire Golden Nut Tree into the magic tool. Fortunately, the Golden Nut Tree was only resistant to poison and did not need such a toxic environment. Otherwise, Lu Ping would really have a headache.
After taking care of the Golden Nut Tree, Lu Ping let out a long sigh. His main mission in the Golden Fallen Canyon was completed. What was left was to take advantage of the time when his protective aura could still last and harvest as many spiritual herbs as possible in the core area.
Lu Ping's excitement only slowly calmed down when he saw a skeleton lying in front of a spiritual herb.
From the posture of the skeleton, this person should have been harvesting the spiritual herb in front of him when he was alive. Lu Ping had never seen this spiritual herb before, but from the aura it emitted, this spiritual herb should be more than 3,000 years old.
A spiritual herb that was 3,000 years old was used to refine the elixir that Laozu of the Dharma Phase used to cultivate. There were a total of eight spiritual herbs like this behind this one.
Lu Ping forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart.
This skeleton was obviously the body of a Core Forging Enlightened Master. The skeletons that Lu Ping had encountered before were mostly in a running and fighting posture. Only this skeleton died suddenly without any resistance. What caused this Enlightened Master to suddenly die while harvesting spiritual herbs?
Lu Ping carefully turned the skeleton over with the Qinghan Sword and found a silver storage bracelet on the left wrist of the skeleton.
Lu Ping's face lit up with joy. He used his magic power to draw the bracelet over. When he held it in his hand, he saw a big "Liao" character carved on it. It was exactly the same as the "Liao" character on the jade token that Liao Hu gave to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping remembered Liao Hu's expression. Could it be that Liao Hu went deep into the core area to find this skeleton?
Lu Ping used his divine sense to explore the storage bracelet, but found that the bracelet was sealed with divine sense. Although the owner of the bracelet was dead, it would still take Lu Ping a lot of time to erase the seal formed by the divine sense. After all, divine sense and divine sense were not on the same level. The former was a talent that only Enlightened Masters had.
Lu Ping looked at the nine three-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in front of him, but he did not dare to pick them. Lu Ping thought for a long time. Suddenly, he patted his head and took out a puppet monkey from his storage ring. This was the gift that Seventh Senior Sister Fan Zihua had given him in Chong Hua Mansion.
Lu Ping pressed a middle-grade spirit stone on the forehead of the monkey. At the same time, he connected a trace of divine sense with the monkey. The monkey suddenly moved in a crooked manner. Lu Ping manipulated the monkey to familiarize himself with it. Then, he slowly commanded the monkey to move towards the unknown spiritual herbs.
When the monkey arrived in front of the spiritual herbs, it began to dig the soil at the roots of the spiritual herbs under Lu Ping's command. Suddenly, a black fog rose from behind a rock behind the nine spiritual herbs. It silently floated around the monkey's body. A small "Puchi" sound was heard. Countless small holes appeared on the monkey's body. A burst of black smoke quickly rose from the monkey's body. In a short moment, the monkey puppet was corroded, leaving only a wreckage.
Lu Ping looked at the black fog that returned to behind the rock. There was a pondering expression on his face. After a while, he seemed to think of something and exclaimed in a low voice, "Blood-melting Mosquitoes! Blood-melting Mosquitoes! Is there a Ten Thousand Poison Liquid behind the rock? "
The expression on Lu Ping's face was complicated. It was difficult to distinguish between fear and surprise.
