The treasures of heaven, materials and earth that are born or exist in the wilderness are extraordinary things and have their own visions.
Once revealed, there will immediately be competition.
But in the wilderness in front of us, there are strange phenomena in all directions, and they are all different and none are repeated.
"A treasure land, a real treasure land."
"How can the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Wanfa Sect be willing to hand over such treasures? Are they so sure that we will obediently hand over the collected items and be the ones searching for the gods?"
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I'm afraid there is something fishy hidden in it."
"The eighteen examiners from the Wanfa Sect said that at least half of them will be reduced in this second major exam. Is this place really that dangerous?"
…
There is no fool who can pass various county and provincial examinations and come to Dadu to take the exam.
In the blink of an eye, everyone could see something was wrong.
As a result, no one acted rashly, but gathered together in a tacit understanding, while carefully moving deeper, while using their own magic methods to peek at the location of the precious lights, and to detect whether there was any terrible danger hidden inside.
Ge Xian also mingled among the candidates and made no move.
Next up!
Everyone spent half an hour of burning incense safely, without noticing anything amiss or encountering any attacks.
In particular, each of them has cast some spells that can predict dangers and predict future good or bad fortunes.
The results are the same.
Safe and sound!
Good luck!
This made all the candidates vigilant and happy at the same time.
Finally, some candidates did not know that they had seen a rare treasure, and they could not resist the temptation at all. They could not hold back and left the team without saying a word, heading towards the location of the treasure they were peeping at.
If someone takes the lead, the rest will follow.
Hundreds of candidates dispersed like birds and animals, quickly choosing their bearings, most of them walking alone and escaping in the blink of an eye.
This also means that the second major exam has officially begun.
Even second-generation nobles such as Yuan Dayong, Yelu Yufeng, and Xie Dezhen who "formed cliques" also chose to go alone.
On the first big test, they can work together because cooperation is beneficial.
But this time, it's very different.
It is no longer the troublesome and dirty work of "containing evil spirits and monsters", but the search for spiritual food treasures consistent with chance and blessing.
In such a treasure land, everyone only believes in themselves. Without special factors, they will not form alliances with others.
Speaking of which, Yuan Dayong, who had been clamoring before to kill Ge Xian once he got the chance and allowed by the rules, did not do that after entering this ownerless wilderness.
He just gave Ge Xian a hateful look before leaving, and then he revealed his body as an ape demon and leapt away among the mountains.
The reason for not seeking revenge is simple and crude.
He can't beat him!
Although the two did not compete against each other in the first major exam, Ge Xian stole the show.
Back when this salesman spy was still in the foundation-building realm, he could take advantage of his carelessness and defeat him, making him famous in one fell swoop.
Now he has truly reached the [Mortal Mortal Realm] with extraordinary bloodline, and the appearance he shows is so terrifying that he can easily subdue powerful evil spirits like [Hundred Gu God] and [Nightmare Spider Queen].
Yuan Dayong was also self-aware. He knew that if he fought with him again, he would never gain any advantage, so he simply avoided his sharp edge.
Of course, I was still unconvinced and sneered secretly:
"snort!"
"Tuotuo has completely offended His Majesty and the concubine Huan. His generals will also rebel. Sooner or later they will end up with the bones in the grave."
"When Tuotuo loses power, let's see how I deal with you."
…
Ge Xian did not act rashly, but looked at the two girls.
Bai Fugui seemed to have just finished sensing the secret method, and now he said: "It is indeed a sign of great good fortune. There are so many blessings here, it is unbelievable. I even had an illusion. If I did not suppress the auspicious Qi in my body, there should be something right now. Many precious foreign objects have come to surrender to me.”
After the transformation, the pretty young woman also obtained some secret skills, but it was not to predict good or bad luck, but to sense the presence of filth. She also said: "There are so many filth and evil things here, but I don't know why, they all seem to be in deep sleep and not active." .”
The feedback from the two women was similar to Ge Xian's own perception.
This vast and unclaimed wilderness!
At first glance, there seems to be nothing strange about it, only the precious light and auspicious mist that can be seen everywhere, which is fascinating.
But if you look closely, you will find that this seems to be "another world".
Although he is in the earthly world, he seems to be independent from the outside world. Mountains, plains, swamps, rivers... all kinds of land are no different from what you usually see outside, but they all have a clear feeling of emptiness, as if they are just a skin, and there is no unknown existence wrapped inside.
Once everyone wakes up, what kind of changes will happen.
Ge Xian even wondered: Without the isolation and protection of Wanfa Divine Serum, there would be no need for other dangers here. The omnipresent invisible malice alone could kill all the candidates in the field.
Taking a deep breath, Ge Xian said slowly:
"Since the eighteen examiners said that the number of people here will be reduced by half, there must be a serious danger."
"I can't predict it now, I'm afraid it's far beyond the level of all candidates."
"I can only take one step first and watch the next step. Two sisters, follow me closely."
When Ge Xian finished speaking, his two hands had already stretched out, each holding the soft catkins of Bai Fugui and the pretty young woman.
The two girls blushed instantly.
Ge Yin Ge Xian held hands, and his face showed a look of joy and contentment without shame, and he even smiled, which showed that he was in a good mood.
But his reasons were indeed impeccable, so he had to let him go.
No matter what the intention of the imperial court and the Wanfa Sect to jointly establish the [Wanfa Search God Division], the test questions on the surface are very correct. For example, the reason why this second major test is to collect spiritual food seeds and blood food treasures. It is to save the world that is now starving and to let the common people have food to eat.
Believe it or not, but the test questions are true.
However, most of the hundreds of candidates are now searching for "treasures from the sky", and they go everywhere in the ravines and deep valleys where the treasure light shines.
Although Ge Xian had treasure addiction, it did not occur at this time.
Therefore, he did not follow the trend of searching for secret treasures. Instead, he took the two girls and took the initiative to go to those places with lush vegetation. Such places were most likely to hide some extraordinary spiritual food seeds.
"The so-called [spiritual food] is a special type of food that is very different from ordinary food such as ordinary rice and wheat that have low yields and cannot adapt to bad lands."
"Nowadays, there are two types of spiritual food that the Great Yuan Dynasty can supply, namely Tai Sui millet and spiritual rice. Although both have wonderful uses, the output of these two foods has been shrinking in recent years, and they can no longer feed the people of major provinces. The common people... especially most of the production has been divided up by the high officials and nobles of the court, and it is not the turn of the common people."
"If we could find other spiritual food here, we could save many people."
"The key to this second big test is the spiritual food. Even if you hand in other treasures, you won't get any good reviews."
…
When Bai Fugui finished speaking, the three of them were standing in front of a small plain.
The visions emitted by the flow of treasures are mostly precious light and divine light.
As for spiritual food, it is Ruiwu.
In front of them was the first place shrouded in auspicious fog that the three of them had seen through detection. When looking at it from a distance, I saw clouds of five-colored mist floating over the plain, which seemed to be spiritual. They were playing and playing with each other, and some pleasant crisp sounds came from the breeze.
However, when the three of them came closer and saw clearly what it was, Bai Fugui, who had originally been hopeful, immediately showed a look of disappointment.
Apart from some weeds and flowers, the rest of this small plain is filled with clusters of rather bizarre dwarf trees, about the height of an eight-year-old child, growing densely.
There are five kinds of fruits on each dwarf tree, and all three of them know that they are the common five grains: rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot.
Swaying and shining, the fragrance is fragrant.
Ge Xian and the pretty young woman were both stunned by this scene.
Although everyone knows that this kind of unowned wilderness where "extraterrestrial objects" often come, there must be many strange and weird things.
But I didn't expect that there is such a strange tree.
"No wonder there are so many auspicious clouds and mist. It turns out that they are born from the vision of a good harvest."
"If the yield of this product is good, it should not be difficult to feed the people."
Just as Ge Xian was exclaiming, Bai Fugui poured cold water on him.
"This is the [Five Grain and Human Face Tree]. It is both spiritual food and not."
"In fact, there is not only this unowned wilderness outside the capital city, but also the lands nearby. The imperial court and Wanfa Sect have also organized many explorations and explorations. Occasionally, this kind of spiritual food has been found in other wild lands. "
“The five-grain human face tree ripens five times a year, with a yield of one thousand catties per acre and a complete supply of grains. It can be regarded as a first-class spiritual food.”
"But the fatal thing is that once this thing leaves the ownerless wild land related to [the outer worlds], it will instantly change into a different appearance. It will no longer produce grains and spiritual food, but will become a kind of drama. Poison pods, with faces of pain on them, are found in both men and women, old and young, and they contain extremely troublesome poison that is difficult to get rid of.”
"The Wanfa Sect has also tried to solve it, but failed many times and had to give up this spiritual food completely."
"I thought this wild area outside Dadu was special, but I didn't expect there to be a tree like this."
"By the way, this tree is not ownerless. They are guarded by a group of spirits called [Grain People] in various wild places. They usually sleep underground. Once foreign enemies come to intrude on the spiritual food, they will It will wake up, crawl out, and throw poisonous dung balls at the enemy in an attempt to drive them away."
"Those fecal balls are extremely poisonous and have a strong smell. They cannot be washed away for a year after being contaminated, and even magic cannot be used to remove them."
"Oops...are you really awake?"
Before Bai Fugui finished speaking, the three of them were all aware and their expressions changed.
Sure enough, a large number of small mounds of soil rose up from the ground beneath the clusters of dwarf trees ahead, and then emerged from the ground one by one, naked, white, white, strange little people about a foot tall, with pig heads and bodies. There were so many of them, Easily broke 100,000.
Their sense of smell was extremely keen, and they instantly locked onto the three people who had just arrived at the edge of the "tree field".
With great tacit understanding, they dug behind their backs at the same time, and actually pulled out a colorful and smelly black and yellow mud ball. Then they all shouted "Five Grains~Five Grains" and started throwing attacks at the three of them.
Suddenly, the three of them felt that the sky was darkening, and a terrorist attack was about to fall.
"Walk!"
Although among the three, there is a pretty young woman who is good at cleaning up the filth and suppressing the auspiciousness of the impure things.
But Ge Xian was not willing to let her face such a scene.
He dragged the two girls, revealed his Dharma body, and fled in embarrassment.
…
Ge Xian didn't know whether the other candidates' treasure hunt and food hunt went smoothly. Hundreds of candidates were scattered in this boundless wilderness, and soon they were completely separated. Even the three of them, Chang Broken Skull, Baihua Monk, Wu Zao, and Tushan Xiaoxiao, were all separated for a while. No one can be found.
However, Ge Xian guessed that the treasure hunting candidates would be much more successful.
If someone like him specializes in collecting spiritual food, his experience may not be pleasant.
The first time I looked for the Grain Face Tree, it was unfortunate enough that I was almost drowned by the guardian spirit with a dung ball.
Subsequently, the three of them found other spiritual food several times with the guidance of Xiangyun Ruiwu.
But it was just that they were all useless, and they were all similarly expelled and hunted.
For example, a kind of spiritual food called [Fairy Fungus] grows in a very vast old forest of dead trees. The trees are all over the ground. The fragrance is so fragrant that the greedy insects will swarm after smelling it... According to Bai Fugui, this Mushrooms are indeed the best spiritual food. They can be planted as long as there are dead trees. There is no need to fertilize or patiently take care of them. They can continue to grow by just watering them randomly. Cut off a crop and it will grow back three days later. The cycle is endless and enough to feed you. Multiple people.
As for the drawbacks?
Completely different from the Grain Face Tree, the Immortal Fungus can leave the unowned wilderness, but once it comes into contact with the scent of the world, the fungus will be alienated. Not only does it taste like wax, but it cannot be digested by mortals.
What it looks like when you eat it is what it looks like when you excrete it.
However, some monks with powerful stomachs, such as the Taotie Spirit Demon, can absorb it, but it won't taste good.
This fungus is also protected by spirits. It is a kind of small insect called "scorch borer". It is so small that it is almost invisible to the naked eye. They carry the spores of the fairy fungus on their backs and try to plant the spores into any intruder. inside the body. If the three of them hadn't run so fast, they would have been used as cultured meat and left in the dangerous old forest.
The three of them had experienced this kind of encounter several times.
Although there are not very powerful spirits such as "Grain Miner" and "Scorch Borer", if Ge Xian is willing, he can kill them all with a single burst of Baisha Divine Light.
However, this place is dangerous and hidden, and Ge Xian is unwilling to cast spells if it is not necessary, so he has to flee many times in a state of embarrassment.
But after all, he, Ge Xian, is holding hands with two auspicious people, so he won't be unlucky for long.
Good luck finally came.
Only this time, what the three of them were looking for was not spiritual food, but another type of thing that could feed many people, the so-called blood food.
It was at this moment that there was a "big mountain" in front of them.
It is better to say that it is a mountain than a motionless, extremely fat beast.
What he saw was a plump toad that was as big as an ordinary city, with horns on its head. It seems to have been roasted, it is all red, and it is always exuding a hot aroma. It is a pure oil aroma. After anyone sniffs it, his mouth will secrete saliva like crazy, and the gluttons will rebel.
Bai Fugui saw it from a distance, his face finally showed joy, he lowered his voice and said quickly:
"That's [Long Live Toad], a kind of blood food."
"You can cut off its flesh and blood at will, and as long as it doesn't leave the earth, it can grow back its flesh and blood indefinitely."
"The meat is plump and full of energy. If you eat three to two kilograms of flesh and blood, an ordinary person will not have to eat any more food for a month."
"It's a pity that the side effects are also serious. People who eat its flesh and blood will be transformed into toad people, and they can only recover after being completely digested."
Hearing this, Ge Xian was about to be disappointed.
But the joy on Bai Fugui's face didn't fade away, and he continued to speak again.
ps: There is also.
