Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few wind-breaking sounds rang out at the same time, and a few figures flew out of the Super Yuan Mountain as fast as lightning.
Every single one of them was at least at the peak of the nine-star level. Their speed was extremely fast as they quickly left the Tai Yuan Mountain and headed towards the Hong Yuan Mountain.
In the Taiyuan Continent, there were many mountains. The Taiyuan Mountain was the first, and the Hongyuan Mountain was the second.
However, the Primordial Mountain was rich in Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. It was a rare cultivation place, especially the Primordial Seven Mountains. Because of the terrain and people, it was eventually taken over by the Primordial Heavenly Sect and became the location of the sect.
On the other hand, the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect was extremely tyrannical. They directly treated the Super Yuan Mountain as their territory. Other forces were not allowed to set up their sect, not even an ordinary encampment.
In terms of land area, Hongyuan Mountain was ranked second in the Taiyuan Continent. However, in terms of cultivation environment, it was ranked last.
It was said that a thousand years ago, Hong Yuan Mountain was not only the second largest, but also the second largest cultivation environment. It was occupied by a famous large Sect at that time and became the location of the Sect. That Sect flourished for a time and was only slightly inferior to the Tai Yuan Heavenly Sect.
However, after a great battle, the Sect fell apart and was directly destroyed. The Great Origin Mountain was also destroyed, and a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was lost, turning into a place lacking in Spirit Qi.
As time passed, the cultivation environment of the Hongyuan Mountain became worse and worse. Even the demonic beasts were unwilling to stay here and migrated in large numbers, not to mention the martial artists. In the end, they were abandoned.
However, in the past few years, someone had accidentally discovered the Blood Spirit Essence Stone in Hongyuan Mountain.
The Blood Spirit Essence Stone was a special treasure born from the boundless Blood Qi. It could strengthen one's Blood Qi, assist in the cultivation of some Cultivation Methods, refine pills, and even be used to refine weapons.
In short, the Blood Spirit Essence Stone had many uses, but its production was low, which led to its high price.
This time, because there were people who needed them, a mission to collect Blood Spirit Essence Stones had been posted on the mission board. According to the grade of the Blood Spirit Essence Stones, the reward was different.
A low-grade Blood Spirit Stone was worth 100 merit points, and a mid-grade Blood Spirit Stone was worth 500 merit points. As for a high-grade Blood Spirit Stone, each piece could be exchanged for 3,000 merit points.
As for top grade blood spirit stones, no merit points were given. That was because even high grade blood spirit stones were extremely rare, let alone top grade ones.
The mission of collecting blood spirit stones wasn't a solo mission, nor was it a group mission. Rather, it was a mission that anyone could accept. Because of the high merit points reward and the time it would take to get back and forth, many people chose to take this mission. Since the reward was proportional to the effort, many people chose this mission.
From Super Yuan Mountain to Hong Yuan Mountain, with everyone's speed, it took them two days to arrive.
"What a thin Spirit Qi. It's almost impossible to sense much of it."
"This is also the reason why Hongyuan Mountain was abandoned. It's hard to imagine how intense the great battle a thousand years ago was."
Chen Zong didn't say anything, but the expression that flashed across his face showed his inner turmoil.
It was a wasteland!
At first glance, there were only stones and sand. It was difficult to see any trees, let alone grass.
This was simply a place where not even a blade of grass grew.
If one looked closely at the ground, they would find traces of brown hidden in it. It was like the color of dried blood.
"The Spirit Qi here is thin. It's only slightly better than the Eastern Continent," Chen Zong thought to himself. Such a place was indeed not suitable for building a sect, nor was it suitable for martial artists to cultivate.
Without stopping, they went deeper into Hong Yuan Mountain.
There were many peaks in Hong Yuan Mountain. Chen Zong and the others had only set foot on one of them.
However, the situation of each peak was similar. It was barren and barren.
Half a day later, the group stopped at a remote and hidden peak. Under the guidance of the guide, they found the entrance to an incomparably hidden cave.
"Brothers, according to our agreement, I'll lead the way here. After that, we'll enter the cave to search for blood spirit stones. Whether or not we can find them will depend on our own abilities." The young guide turned around and cupped his hands with a smile. "I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, the young man didn't have any intention of entering the cave. Instead, he left.
He was only responsible for leading the way.
Of course, he didn't lead the way for free. Instead, he was given 100 merit points as a guide fee.
A guide fee of 100 merit points was naturally not low. In fact, it could be considered expensive. However, the young man promised that he knew of a cave that produced blood spirit stones. As long as their luck wasn't too bad, they would at least gain a few pieces.
However, they were all core disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect. If they deliberately deceived them, the consequences were not something they could bear. Unless they didn't want to live, they wouldn't deliberately deceive others.
"Let's go." As soon as one of them finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and rushed into the cave.
The second and third person, Chen Zong, also stepped into the cave.
In the blink of an eye, all five of them had entered the cave.
About ten breaths later, a figure suddenly flew over from a distance. Standing at the entrance of the cave, he looked inside. It was the person who had led Chen Zong's group of five.
A look of pity appeared on his face. He clenched his teeth and felt tormented inside.
Immediately after, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, all the pity was replaced by ruthlessness.
"Don't blame me. I didn't want to do this, but for my survival and my future, I can only ask you to die."
After saying that, the young man turned and strode away. This time, he really left because he was sure that the five people who had entered would not be able to come out alive.
The cave was very dry. As they went deeper, the temperature gradually rose. Vaguely, everyone felt that their blood and Qi flowed faster than usual.
This feeling was most obvious to Chen Zong. First, his perception was better than the others. Second, his blood and Qi were stronger and purer.
From this point, it could be generally said that there was something related to blood and Qi inside. Perhaps, it was the so-called blood spirit stones.
The five people were extremely fast and their footsteps were very light. It was almost impossible to hear their footsteps.
As they walked, six forks appeared in front of them. The five people couldn't help but stop.
"In my opinion, why don't we split up? This way, we can find the blood spirit stones and avoid unnecessary conflicts," one of them said immediately.
This was a good idea. After all, everyone was looking for the blood spirit stones and didn't want to have unnecessary conflicts. Of course, if there was no other choice, they would still fight.
There were six forks, enough for five people to take one each, and there would still be leftovers.
Chen Zong chose a fork at random. The deeper he went, the drier it became. The restlessness of his blood and Qi became more obvious.
The moment he walked out of the fork, a red light flashed in front of Chen Zong's eyes. It was like an illusion.
This was the corner of a fork. It was connected to two other forks. He didn't know where it led.
Chen Zong didn't think too much at this time because his eyes were attracted by a red light on the cave wall.
He reached out and grabbed at the wall. Before his five fingers could touch it, the wall was torn open and he grabbed something shining with a red light. It was a blood-red stone about the size of a duck's egg.
The moment the blood-red stone entered his hand, Chen Zong clearly felt his blood and Qi become more restless. It was as if the stone in his hand had a great attraction to his blood and Qi.
"Blood spirit stone!"
Yes, this was a very valuable blood spirit stone. However, Chen Zong carefully examined it and found that there was only a circle of dark red lines on the stone, indicating that it was only a low-rank blood spirit stone worth 100 merit points.
With a flip of his hand, the blood spirit stone was stored in his Virtual Ring. He looked at the two forks and chose to go forward.
There were many forks in this cave. Not long after, Chen Zong came to another turn. This time, he didn't find any blood spirit stones.
About a few minutes later, Chen Zong stepped into a huge cave, and there were no more forks in the road.
Wisps of red light flickered on the walls of the cave. They were blood spirit stones.
His hands reached out, and his Qi was like a sharp blade cutting through tofu. He easily broke through the hard cave wall and took out a total of five blood spirit stones. They were all low-rank blood spirit stones worth 500 merit points.
After calculating, Chen Zong had gained 600 merit points, and this wasn't the limit. The profit was quite good.
Going back to the original forks, he chose another one.
The cave was like a maze, tangled and complicated. Chen Zong constantly chose forks, going back and forth until he reached the end of the path. From time to time, he would find low-rank blood spirit stones.
Unknowingly, the number of blood spirit stones he had collected had reached 20, each worth 2,000 merit points.
In front of him, a red light flickered. Chen Zong narrowed his eyes, and his blood and Qi became more and more turbulent. The source was the red light.
Taking a deep breath, the heat in the air also entered his body. Chen Zong's figure flashed and he quickly rushed forward. Not long after, he rushed out of the fork.
His heart was beating faster than usual, and his Pure Yang blood and Qi flowed more than 50% faster. Chen Zong's skin was red and hot, and his whole body seemed to be filled with tyrannical power.
This was a huge cave. It covered an area of at least tens of thousands of meters and was nearly 100 meters high. The ceiling of the cave was covered with upside down dark brown stones. They looked like crisscrossing canines, densely packed, and made people unconsciously feel a chill in their hearts.
At the center of the cave, there was the largest sharp stone. The other sharp stones around it leaned towards it as if they were worshipping it. Directly below this huge sharp stone, there was a blood-red pool. It was dozens of meters wide and calm, like a huge blood-red gem.
After Chen Zong scanned the area, he stared at the blood pool. He could feel the astonishing blood and Qi fluctuations from it. It was the first time in his life that he had seen something that made his heart beat faster and his blood and Qi flow faster. It was also the blood pool.
"If a Blood and Qi realm martial artist stepped in, they would probably reach the limit of the Blood and Qi realm in a short time. Who knows, they might even reach the great perfection of Blood and Qi realm through brute force." Chen Zong couldn't help but wonder.
He couldn't help but shake his head. The blood and Qi fluctuations in the blood pool were too tyrannical. If a Blood and Qi realm martial artist stepped in, they wouldn't be able to withstand it at all. They would explode and die.
Even a True Martial Realm martial artist wouldn't benefit from it. On the contrary, they might even lose their lives.
