…

After sending the two people away and watching them go away, Xu Junming closed the courtyard door and returned to Dihuang Mountain.

The Earth Emperor's Cave Heaven is still expanding due to the Phoenix Egg's ability to absorb spiritual energy from the underworld as it becomes more and more powerful.

At the same time, the spiritual veins in the cave of Dihuang Mountain are also growing with the expansion of the cave.

The spiritual energy within the entire cave has become increasingly dense.

Under the strong spiritual energy, the children in Chongshan Academy are practicing faster and faster.

As long as you work hard enough, even if you don't rely on pills, you can advance to the innate level in three to five years.

Of course, mana is only one aspect of practice. Other basic knowledge, such as alchemy, weapon refining, talisman painting, beast control, and puppetry, require a long period of study.

Arrive at the backyard of Chongshan Residence.

The ten-foot-sized turbidity spring, nourished by sufficient spiritual energy, creates more and more spiritual spring water.

In contrast, the white lotus growing in the spring water, although brightly fluorescent and full of aura, still looks like a flower.

However, it can be seen through the bronze mirror that the 'Innate Taisu Creation Qi' in these four lotus flowers is getting stronger and stronger, and there are already six paths.

The fairy willows east of Zhuogou Spring are also full of vitality and no longer look like they are dry.

Thousands of silk ribbons sway in the wind.

The emerald-like willow leaves are made up of the same color, and the rich aura of armor wood is refreshing.

Xu Junming took out the jade bowl given by Qiu Yangzi.

He casually removed the seal on it, and under the pull of magic power, a tree stump nearly three feet long, thicker than a washbasin, and thick black flew out.

The rich 'qi of innate Taisu Jiamu' in this tree stump is certainly a good material for refining spiritual treasures.

But in comparison, the seven cyan cocoons above the size of an adult's fist are the real good things.

Insect cocoons can block spiritual prying eyes, so Qiu Longzi and Qiu Yangzi only think that these insect cocoons are ordinary spiritual insects.

But Xu Junming's bronze mirror can reveal all the secrets.

The wisp of innate Taishi Sword Qi in the larvae represents their identity as 'immortal species'.

"It is stated in the classics of Maoshan Scripture Pavilion that there are three main types of spiritual insects that contain innate sword energy in their bodies: sword butterflies, stegosaurus beetles, and heavenly sword mites!"

"Among them, the sword butterfly is the most precious and rare. I just don't know if the ones hatched in these seven cocoons are sword butterflies?"

He shook his head slightly.

Even if it is not a sword butterfly, but the most common 'Heavenly Sword Mite', it is still an immortal species, and compared to the Water Spirit Pearl, it is still a huge profit.

Xu Junming felt happy after picking up such a big leak.

With a casual move, more than a dozen drops of turbid spring water fell into the tree stump.

As if a long drought was followed by a burst of rain, the vitality in the wooden piles was quickly activated.

Visible to the naked eye, a bud sprouted from the top of the stump, then quickly branched out, and soon grew into a small tree about two feet tall and green all over.

This tree has long and narrow leaves and steep branches, like a sharp sword reaching into the sky, exuding a majestic aura.

At the same time, a trace of the innate Taishi Jiamu spiritual energy also emerged from scratch, slowly growing out of Xiao Shushu's heart.

"This is the Iron Sword Spirit Tree!"

Xu Junming's eyes widened instantly.

The advantage of being a disciple of a major sect, in addition to having a backer, is that you can broaden your horizons through the sect's collection of books.

In the Maoshan Sutra Pavilion, there are thousands of books that record all kinds of strange flowers and species, spiritual insects and fairy roots, demons and gods from ancient times to the present.

The Iron Sword Spiritual Tree is the spiritual root, or fairy root, recorded in a book called "Ancient Spiritual Roots".

This kind of spiritual tree is made of extremely hard material. Even the most common iron sword spiritual tree can be compared to an immortal treasure after some training.

The older the Iron Sword Spirit Tree is, the harder the material is, and the more powerful the spirit treasures it produces will be.

However, although the Iron Sword Spiritual Tree is good, looking at it like this, it will take countless years to grow into the spiritual root he wants.

On the contrary, it is another point recorded in the ancient spiritual root records.

Sword butterflies like to live around the Iron Sword Spirit Tree and feed on the juice secreted by the Iron Sword Spirit Tree to grow.

"It is indeed a sword butterfly. Judging from the appearance of this cocoon, it should be the most common 'jade sword butterfly'."

Xu Junming stared passionately at the seedlings of the Iron Sword Spirit Tree and the seven cocoons in front of him.

"Today's leak was really too big."

Holding the wooden stake, he grabbed seven drops of turbid spring water and gave one drop to the seven cocoons one after another. He quickly felt that the vitality inside the cocoons became stronger.

The rich spiritual energy is sucked in and supplies the sword butterfly larvae to grow.

Unlike spirit beasts, spirit insects have weak souls and almost no rebellion.

And they are generally powerful, making them the most suitable choice for spiritual pets.

After admiring it, Xu Junming tossed it casually, and the tree stump, carrying the spiritual roots and seven insect cocoons, fell into a rock depression on the east side of Zhuogou Spring, near the water's edge.

Xu Junming had gained a lot. Although he didn't know where the Changchun Sword Sect got this treasure, he was looking forward to the details of this world.

"I really wonder what kind of amazing treasures are hidden in the Chongyang Cave?"

Compared to the Changchun Sword Sect, Chongyang Dao, which had dominated the Dayong practice world for many years, undoubtedly has a richer accumulation.

But soon Qiu Yangzi's warning echoed in his mind.

With a frown on his face, Xu Junming stretched out his hand and an oval-shaped shield flew into his palm.

Then he took off the light, left Dihuang Mountain, and flew straight towards the Xuanjing Si Yamen.

It was not his first time to visit the towering octagonal tower.

The guard of the Xuanjing Division who was in charge of guarding saw him coming and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Meet Master Chongshan."

"Is your envoy Xiao Zhen here?"

"Here, I'm reporting for the real person."

"No need, just go find her yourself."

"Please come in, real person."

After Xu Junming nodded, he walked upstairs to the top floor and knocked on the door.

After a while, there was a "squeak" sound and the door opened.

Xiao Hongge appeared in front of her, wearing a red waist-length dress, long hair hanging down her shoulders, a beautiful face, graceful temperament, and full of mature womanly aura.

Xu Junming has seen her completely different outfit several times.

But every time it's a little surprising.

Too.

No one would be able to adapt to the sudden transformation from the heroic Hua Mulan to the beautiful and generous daughter of the king.

"It's rare for a real person to visit you."

Having said that, turn to one side.

"Please come in."

Xu Junming looked calm and stepped in.

After the two sat down near the window, Xu Junming took out the shield he brought with him and put it on the table.

"This is the magic weapon you asked me to refine last time, and I have already refined it."

"If it's just this matter, I'm afraid the real person won't come to visit in person?"

For more than four years, their Xuanjing Division asked Xu Junming to refine the magic weapon, but they always took the initiative to pick it up. He never came to deliver it to them once.

The only time was when Xu Junming used the price of refining magic weapons to take away three large cave-level rainbow grass from their Xuanjing Division Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Obviously, this time he came and had other requirements.

Xu Junming smiled lightly and said nothing nonsense.

Just take out the Chongyang Jade Order that you got from the red jade demon fox and put it on the table.

"How could you have the Chongyang Jade Order?"

"It came by chance."

Xiao Hongge picked it up and played with it for a while, then looked at the man opposite.

"Speaking of which, what do you want?"

We have known each other for many years and understand each other fairly well.

She was used to Xu Junming's "equivalent exchange" way of doing things.
