They advanced all the way into the Meteorite Plains. Once they left the protective layer, the meteor shower above their heads poured down in a not too dense manner, smashing holes all around them.
As far as the eye could see, there were meteors falling endlessly.
This was the first obstacle a Xiantian cultivator had to face before entering the next stage of cultivation.
It was also a matter of life and death!
This was the reason why the high martial arts academies required students who graduated from the high martial arts academies to go to their respective high schools independently or in groups — to quickly adapt to the living atmosphere, living environment, and living conditions that Xiantian cultivators had to face!
If there were external help, such as parents or hiring powerful cultivators to escort them, it would only cause them to develop a sense of dependence and misjudge their ability to survive. After the protective layer was removed, they would be in danger.
Just like what could be seen now, the entire Meteorite Plains was like a battlefield filled with smoke and fire. Cannonballs were unceasingly falling. Even though they were not particularly concentrated, their destructive power was not lacking. They were truly capable of killing people.
It didn't matter if it was an ordinary person or a weaker cultivator!
If they encountered a large meteor shower with meteorites containing strange materials, even an expert would be smashed to death!
Naturally, there were roads on the Meteorite Plains, and they were relatively safe.
However, these roads were formed by an alliance of many large merchants who used this road all year round. Every certain distance, someone needed to hold up a protective layer to protect the passage. Over time, a special economic method was formed on the road: toll fees!
After all, they were protecting this road from being smashed by meteorites. At the same time, they were providing a great convenience that didn't need to worry about their lives.
As long as they passed through this road, they would naturally be safe. Therefore, everyone was very willing to pay the toll fees, and there were few disputes.
However, Zuo Xiaoduo and Li Chenglong obviously didn't plan to take the safe road.
Their choice was to jump all the way through the wilderness.
This was a path of cultivation, but also a path of tempering.
The Hidden Dragon High Martial Arts Entrance Training Tool on their bodies had already been opened.
This Entrance Training Tool would faithfully record all the situations that they encountered along the way!
If their lives were really in danger, they could also take the initiative to press the emergency call button. Naturally, the teachers of the Hidden Dragon High Martial Arts Entrance Training Tool would come to their aid.
However, no matter how much of a genius or monstrous a student you were, from the moment you pressed the emergency button, you would lose all the privileges you originally had in the High Martial Academy and become the most ordinary student!
"Swollen, you claim to be erudite and knowledgeable. Do you know what's going on with the meteor shower that keeps falling from the sky?"
Zuo Xiaoduo asked with a smile as he slapped away a meteorite falling from the sky.
"I really don't know the exact reason. There are too many guesses about this."
Li Chenglong sighed and said, "A more reliable guess is that there was a world-ending battle in the past. Several powerful people in the starry sky fought in the starry sky, causing the universe to collapse and the Milky Way to collapse. This caused the endless rain of stars to return to the origin of the yuan qi, resulting in such a scene... But at least in my opinion, this statement is not accurate. How could there be a battle that lasted for tens of thousands of years? Not to mention a meteor shower that can last for tens of thousands of years! "
"There must be some other reason behind this."
Li Chenglong continued to dodge the meteorites. As he moved forward in a snake-like manner, he said, "I'm more inclined to believe that... in the distant starry sky, there's a planet that's millions of times bigger than our continent that's constantly splitting..."
"During the process of its fission, its star fragments form a huge number of meteorites that fall continuously, eventually forming a meteor shower."
Li Chenglong said.
"Why do you think this way? Although the previous statement wasn't officially recognized, it's still the most mainstream one, right? "Zuo Xiaoduo asked curiously.
"The main reason I agree with the latter statement is because of the falling Jade of Astral Souls..."
Li Chenglong said, "After so many years, although the quality of the Jade of Astral Souls varies greatly, as long as the meteorites contain the Jade of Astral Souls, the basic composition is the same."
"You must know that the difference is only limited to the difference in quality, but the essence and composition factors are basically the same. It can already be concluded that they came from the same planet."
Li Chenglong said, "What's lacking now is just that there's no concrete evidence."
Zuo Xiaoduo was silent for a long time. Then, he said, "Your argument seems reasonable, but it's easy to refute. You must know that there are also Astral Souls on our continent that contain Astral Souls Jade. Moreover, the composition is exactly the same as that of the meteorite belt. What do you think? "
Li Chenglong said, "That's another matter. I'm more inclined to the second statement, but it's not necessarily accurate."
Just as the two of them were discussing heatedly, a whistling sound suddenly appeared in the sky.
Sensing the aura, the two of them quickly jumped to the left and right. Then, with a loud bang, a meteorite as big as two millstones combined slammed into the ground with a scorching aura.
Immediately, a big hole was smashed into the solid ground. It was a few meters wide and very deep.
The surrounding ground shook uniformly. Everything on the ground within a radius of dozens of miles jumped up.
At the same time, a dense spiritual energy rushed towards them.
"This piece is quite heavy."
Zuo Xiaoduo glanced at it and jumped down. He directly grabbed the big rock and threw it up, ignoring the temperature that could turn an ordinary person into ashes.
With a bang, the meteorite fell to the ground again, but it didn't cause any more damage. Zuo Xiaoduo moved, the Cat Spirit Sword in his hand. The sword flickered with a red light. It was infused with the Flaming Sun Scripture. He brazenly slashed down.
The boulder was split open from one side like a piece of tofu.
"Damn!"
Li Chenglong was shocked.
This huge meteorite weighed at least tens of thousands of kilograms. After about three feet of its surface was cut open, a large piece of green Astral Souls Jade was hidden in the middle.
"The harvest is not bad."
Zuo Xiaoduo held the sword and cut the entire piece of Astral Souls Jade into a large square as if it was tofu. "All of them are of medium quality. It's a small harvest. When I reach Hidden Dragon, I can use this as a mattress. "
Li Chenglong's eyes immediately turned red.
This was a large piece of Astral Souls Jade the size of a calf. It was a medium quality Jade of Astral Souls!
Looking at it … it was at least twenty thousand kilograms, right?
Putting the market price aside, just the appearance of such a complete piece would only increase its value by several times!
This was a windfall that fell from the sky and landed directly in Zuo Xiaoduo's pocket.
"Why didn't I see it?"
Li Chenglong was depressed. He felt that he had acted too late. If he had acted earlier, he would have been able to get a share of the loot.
Ever since Li Chenglong had teamed up with Zuo Xiaoduo and the others, he had gained a lot from every experience. His wealth was much greater than before. However, as his cultivation continued, he would need to consume more and more resources every day. He might not care about small amounts of money, but such a large piece of medium quality Jade of Astral Souls Jade was still quite tempting.
"You don't have to be so tempted. With your vast knowledge, you will understand many things if you think about it carefully. I was able to obtain such a harvest because I have many convenient conditions. These conditions are all things that you don't have …"
"The meteorite falling from the sky is in itself a stroke of luck. However, if you want to turn this luck into reality, you need to meet many conditions. First, you need to grasp the meteorite in your hands and deal with it as quickly as possible. Do you have that much strength? Are you able to withstand the heat of the meteorite? "
Zuo Xiaoduo dealt with the meteorite carefully and threw it into the ring. "The reason why I was able to obtain the Jade of Astral Souls was because of my strength, Flaming Sun Divine Skill, and my Cat Spirit Sword. These three are indispensable. Don't you know that the meteorite's heat will carbonize a large part of the Jade of Astral Souls?"
Li Chenglong's mind raced and he immediately figured it out. However, he still sighed. "Even if you are right, you have a lot of wealth now. I don't even have a single strand of hair. Moreover, I have to be insulted by your poisonous mouth … How could I have been so blind to follow you? I regret it so much!"
"You regret it?!" Zuo Xiaoduo snorted. "It's not too late to get lost now. We have only just reached this stage!"
"…"
Li Chenglong did not want to talk anymore.
"Swollen, when are you going to pay me the money you owe me?" Zuo Xiaoduo thought of his space ring again.
"I don't have money!"
Li Chenglong was furious. He said fiercely, "I don't have money, and I won't give you my life! Speaking of which, this is such a huge windfall. Are you really not going to share half of it with me? "
"F * ck … I can't even shut your mouth when I asked for money!" Zuo Xiaoduo screamed.
"Tsk, with your character, if you don't want to keep it all to yourself, why would you deliberately bring up a debt that you can't even get back?"
Li Chenglong's eyes were full of disdain.
What he was trying to say just now was that the windfall that fell from the sky was all yours. I didn't do anything, so why should I get a share?
However, the item was already in Zuo Xiaoduo's pocket. To ask him to take it out and share it again … Li Chenglong felt that even Li Zhangming, who could control dreams, would not dare to have such a dream.
Next, Li Chenglong began to pay attention to the falling meteorites and the possible spiritual herbs in his field of vision.
It had to be said that once Li Chenglong's knowledge was fully activated, his harvest would only be more than Zuo Xiaoduo's.
The two of them quarreled as they walked forward, neither of them giving way to the other.
"Why should you take half of what I found? Did you do anything? You want to reap without sowing? You must be blind!"
"Brothers are close. It's reasonable to share half when we meet."
"Then why didn't you share half of the Jade of Astral Souls with me?"
"Brothers are close. Why would I take what others like? Besides, that piece is too complete. It's a pity to cut it open."
"You could have just given me the whole piece!"
"Do you have that much storage space in your space ring? Don't you want the other things in there? "
"… No. Then you can share half of the money with me."
"Brothers are close. Don't talk about money. It hurts our relationship."
"…"
