Not long after, a yellow light burst out of the ground, it was Mo Juren who had returned.
As he expected, the attempt failed. Not to mention collecting it, he couldn't even move it.
In this way, he had to admit the fact that this thing was obviously not something he could get his hands on now. Moreover, without the assistance of the Five Elements Order in the Sea of Consciousness, he would not even be able to enter there.
It's not that I'm depressed, I'm just a little depressed. No one else would be happy to enter Baoshan and come back empty-handed.
But that's all. He is not the kind of person who can't take it up or let it go. The opportunity is there. What's his will eventually belong to him, and it's useless if he doesn't force it.
Moreover, there is nothing we can do for the time being, and it will not be too late to come back when we are strong enough in the future.
In addition, it is still unclear what the colorful hills are. I also need to check the information carefully when I go back, maybe I can find the information, and maybe even the method of collecting it.
There is also the mysterious octagonal formation, which is obviously derived from ancient relics and has also been copied. Maybe Xin Ruyin can do some research when she returns to Tiannan.
"Master, have you gained anything?" Seeing Mo Juren return, Han Li, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to ask. It can be seen that he is also somewhat curious in his heart.
"It's hard to explain in one sentence." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but did not hide anything and briefly revealed the following situation.
After hearing this, Han Li was immediately shocked. Is there really a treasure? Moreover, thousands of feet below the seabed, the terrifying mysterious magnetism, the unknown ancient caves, etc., are not simple at first sight.
It's just that even Master can't do anything, which is really unbelievable.
"Okay, let's let this matter go for now." Putting away his thoughts, Mo Juren did not continue to dwell on the impossible. He looked up at the sky and continued,
"Things here have come to an end, and it's time for us to leave."
"Which target will master choose next?" Han Li naturally had no objection and asked proactively.
"How about Wanmu Island?" Mo Juren thought for a while and directly said a name. However, after hearing this, Han Li's expression suddenly changed and he quickly said,
"If the disciple remembers it correctly, Wanmu Island is vast, with lush vegetation, countless dense forests, and countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. The environment is extremely complex. It is a paradise for wood-type monsters. Just living in it Among them, there are two level six wood attribute monsters, and there are countless level five or below..."
"Tell me what you think?" Mo Juren naturally knew this and asked immediately.
"Disciple just thinks that we don't need to take such a risk immediately. We can try to hunt down some fifth-level monsters first, and after accumulating a certain amount of experience, it's not too late to hunt for sixth-level monsters. And, with all due respect, disciple, here in the southern sea area There are also some sixth-level monsters, so Wanmu Island is not a suitable choice."
After listening to Han Li's suggestion, Mo Juren couldn't help but ponder slightly. He chose Wanmu Island after careful consideration. The reason is very simple, it is the sixth level wood monster on the island. And these two are also the only two wood attribute monsters in the southern sea.
Of course, there is also the western sea area, where there are also level 6 wood attribute monsters. It's just that the potential of the bloodline is much lower, which doesn't satisfy him.
As for the east and north, ethnic wars are about to break out, so naturally they are not within his scope of consideration.
However, Han Li's suggestion is not unreasonable. Time is not urgent anyway. Take advantage of this trip to hunt some level five monsters and bring back a huge amount of supplies.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and decided: "Forget it, I'll do as you say."
After a moment, the green boat rose into the sky, flew through the air in a certain direction, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past four years, Mo Juren and Han Li not only traveled back and forth in the southern seas, but also in the western seas, hunting monsters. The harvest was pretty good. They hunted more than 70 level 5 monsters, and even level 6 monsters. Also hunted five more.
Among them was a level six monster in Ten Thousand Wood Island. It was considered lucky that one of them was going out alone and was lured into the formation by the two of them to kill it.
In addition, the blood and souls of level six demon beasts with fire and earth attributes have also been gathered. At this point, there is only one level six metallic monster left. As long as one more is hunted, this trip to sea will be complete.
Unfortunately, there are no level six metallic monsters in the southern and western seas, only one level five.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Most of the monsters in the sea have water attributes. The other four attributes are relatively scarce, and metallic ones are relatively rare.
Of course, there are enough monsters here, so you don’t have to worry about not finding them. Just like the northern sea area, the information in the jade slips has clear records that there are two level six metallic monsters living there.
It’s just that the northern seas...
Four years have passed, and I don’t know if the Ice Deer Clan and the Frost Wolf Clan have gone to war. What’s the outcome? If it's over, it's a good time to go and find out.
In fact, hunting more than seventy level five monsters in four years, plus five level six monsters, is already a bumper harvest. If other monks who came to the outer sea knew about it, they would definitely be envious to death.
However, compared with Han Li's first trip to sea in the original destiny line, there is still a big gap. It only took the other party five years to hunt down more than a hundred level five monsters, as well as many level six monsters.
You know, the other party is a person, but now there are two people together, the difference is almost double.
The reason for this situation is also very simple. Although the jade slips given by Ling Yuling contain a large amount of information about the activities of level five to level seven monsters, it does not mean that they will definitely be able to find the other party.
They might have gone out foraging for several months and not come back, they might have left their nest and moved elsewhere, they might have been killed by other forces in advance, etc. In short, the probability of accurately finding the corresponding monster according to the information on the jade slip is only 30%.
That's not all. The open sea is so big that the time spent on the journey is not short. As a result, the harvest of the two of them was a little lower.
Mo Juren was naturally dissatisfied with such results.
However, Han Li was different. He acted quite contented. Especially when he followed his master, he did not feel any fear in his heart. The entire hunting process was also very relaxed, comparable to going on vacation at sea.
Moreover, the master was extremely generous and directly gave him 50% of the harvest. This was a large amount of money, so there was nothing he could not be satisfied with.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
In the western sea, on an island, a 'thousand-eyed demon' had just been hunted. Mo Juren, who was standing aside to rest, looked at Han Li, who was happily harvesting the demon beast's materials, and couldn't help but feel a slight twitch in his heart.
Why does this expression look like that of a silly boy, and why is he so successful? If you knew that I didn't exist, you would have gained more, and I don't know if you would still be so happy?
If you think about it carefully, this also has a lot to do with yourself. Firstly, because he was by his side, the other party didn't have any pressure and almost didn't worry about anything. Secondly, because of the flapping of his butterfly wings, he didn't notice the existence of 'Neon Clothes Grass', and that's why it disappeared. More to look forward to.
This won't work. I won't be able to stay here long, and the other person still needs to walk the road ahead. Don't let it take detours because of your own reasons.
"Master, it's done." But at this moment, Han Li came over happily after dealing with the Thousand-Eyed Demon.
"You are getting more and more skilled at dividing monster corpses." Mo Juren joked with a smile. As the saying goes, if something happens, the disciple will do his duty. Basically, Han Li is responsible for such trivial matters. The more times he does it, the more he will do it. Worked out.
"It's okay. It's mainly because we have hunted enough monsters. This Thousand-Eyed Monster is already the third one, so we are more familiar with it." Han Li naturally heard the ridicule in his master's words and smiled shyly. laughed.
"It took me, master and disciple, four years to hunt down more than seventy level five monsters. Five level six monsters, how can we call them too many?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly.
"Isn't this enough?" Hearing the master's words, Han Li couldn't help but be a little confused, and thought to himself, the master's appetite is too big, and this is not enough?
After thinking for a while, he continued,
"The main reason is that the information about the monsters is not fixed and changes frequently, so it takes too much time. Moreover, the monsters are distributed all over the sea, and it is troublesome to travel."
"Yes, it would be really trouble-free if there was something that could attract the monster beasts so that we don't have to bother looking for them one by one." Following the other party's words, Mo Juren said with a twinkle in his eye.
"It's impossible to attract monsters, right?" Han Li couldn't help but be startled.
"There really is a kind of spiritual grass that has such miraculous effects. It once caused a sensation in the Sea of Stars. Unfortunately, some harsh conditions made it difficult for it to work, so it became unpopular." Mo Juren continued nonchalantly. As he spoke, he succeeded in attracting Han Li's attention. Especially when he heard the word "lingcao", his curiosity increased and he asked,
"Really, what kind of spiritual grass?"
"Do you still remember that special island we passed two months ago?" Mo Juren did not answer immediately and asked instead.
"Master is referring to the one where countless elixirs grow?" Han Li nodded slightly. When they were on their way two months ago, they passed by a strange island. It was not large, but it was lush. Especially in a certain area on the island, there are a large number of spiritual grasses growing, with more than a hundred species, some of which neither of them have ever heard of.
The only fly in the ointment is that the vintage of Lingcao is not high, so it doesn’t have much picking value. However, this just met Han Li's needs. The last thing he worried about was the age of the spiritual grass, so he was extremely happy and collected a lot.
However, why did the master suddenly mention that small island? Could it be that the spiritual grass that can attract monsters as mentioned before is on that small island?
Sure enough, the next moment, Mo Juren turned his palm and revealed something, which was a strange spiritual grass. Single stem, thirteen leaves, only one inch tall.
The thirteen leaves of this grass are not unfolded, but are all rolled into a cylinder, which makes it particularly special.
But what's even more magical is that it is completely white and exudes a dull glow, making it look extremely dazzling. It doesn't look like an ordinary grass, but seems to be something from the fairy family.
"This is the magic grass." Mo Juren handed the spiritual grass in his hand to the other party, and then continued,
"Nishang grass, also known as 'demon lure grass', is a strange spiritual grass that is extremely attractive to monsters. It can only grow in brightly colored places. If it is ordinary soil, it will basically not survive for a day or two... "
"Look at its thirteen leaves, one of which unfolds every hundred years, and it emits a strange smell. This smell is of no use to humans, but it has an extremely strong temptation for monsters.
As long as they smell this smell, within a certain range, the monsters will rush over and devour it. Moreover, the older the neon grass is, the farther the smell spreads, and the higher the level of monsters it can attract..."
"A monk at the Nascent Soul stage once accidentally discovered this grass in the deep sea, just as it unfolded its eleventh leaf, and witnessed with his own eyes the scene of dozens of sixth- and seventh-level monsters snatching it... Later, the news spread Opened, it immediately caused a huge sensation..."
"Unfortunately, the timing of the expansion of the blades of this grass cannot be accurately controlled, and coupled with some of its weird characteristics, it will eventually become a somewhat useless existence..."
Mo Juren explained in a leisurely manner, his expression not changing much. However, what Han Li heard from the side was like a bomb, which instantly exploded his heart.
This 'Neon Clothes Grass' sounds as if it was specially created for him. Controlling the age of the spiritual grass and the time when the leaves unfold is simply a piece of cake for him.
The experience of hunting monsters in the past four years left a profound impact on him. Not to mention the accuracy of the monster information provided in the jade slips, the time spent on the journey alone is a headache.
However, with this grass, it is different. You can completely avoid the pain of running around. You can stop at one place and set up numerous formations in advance, waiting for the monsters to fall into the trap.
Moreover, the information provided in the jade slips is incomplete, not only due to accuracy, but also limited in scope. In some unexplored areas further into the deep sea, the number of monsters is even greater...
In short, with the help of this grass, hunting monsters will become extremely simple.
However, this method also has a disadvantage, that is, it requires strict confidentiality. After all, it requires the use of a mysterious vial, so it can only be done alone.
As for Master, it’s not that he is unfilial or ungrateful. However, human nature cannot stand the test. Faced with such a treasure, how many people in the world can remain unmoved?
If the master needs elixir, he can help to ripen it. If there are any other difficulties, he will not hesitate to do his best to help.
However, he didn't want to try exposing the existence of the mysterious vial, which was an extremely risky act. If he tried wrong, the price would be too heavy and he couldn't afford it.
"Did Master pick this neon grass on the previous island?" Han Li looked at the white grass in his hand and asked again.
"Yes!" Mo Juren nodded, but sighed softly,
"There were a lot of seedlings of neon grass growing there. I saw that they were very beautiful, so I picked one. However, even though it has such a miraculous effect, it is still useless, which is a pity."
I stopped talking about this topic and immediately changed the topic,
"What are your plans next?"
"I..." Han Li was startled for a moment. Didn't he continue to hunt monsters? Why did the master suddenly ask this question? Is it possible that you don’t plan to continue?
"Of course the disciple will follow the master. What are you going to do next?"
"I plan to return to Binglu Island first, and then I may go to the northern seas."
"Northern Sea!" Han Li's expression suddenly became solemn and he said doubtfully,
"The Ice Deer Clan and the Frostwolf Clan have probably started a war. When you get there..."
"It has been more than 20 years since I came out, and I don't know what the situation at home is like. I can't delay it any longer. I will wait until I go to the northern sea to deal with some matters, and then I will prepare to return to Tiannan." Mo Juren was naturally not so anxious, and just gave With a reason and a simple purpose, Han Li would definitely be eager to try it after learning about the existence of Nishang Grass. However, since he, the master, doesn't speak up, it's hard for the other party to bring it up on his own initiative.
Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to take the initiative to give a step for the two of them to part ways.
What's more, most of the purpose of this trip to the sea has been completed. He only needs to hunt one more level six metallic monster to complete his merits, and there is no need to stay in the open sea.
"I see." Han Li suddenly understood. Indeed, Master's roots are all in Tiannan, and it would be inappropriate for him to come out for too long. Even if it was him, why wouldn't he be concerned about it? Caihuan, Wan'er, and all his relatives were all people he cared about, and he even had the idea of going back with his master.
However, reason told him that staying was the best choice. In the Chaos Star Sea, both resources and freedom are far beyond comparison with Tiannan.
Moreover, at this time, he was just an ant in the foundation-building stage. What was the use of going back? Was he living a mediocre life hiding under the wings of his master?
This was not the result he wanted.
"There are many dangers in the northern sea area. Do you need help from my disciples?"
"I'm just dealing with some small things, I can do it myself." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but suddenly a milky white jade slip appeared in his hand, and he handed it to the other party and said,
"Before I leave, I don't know if we can meet again. Here is a piece of information that involves many rare elixirs that are around 400 years old. I will help my master collect them in the days to come."
"Master, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by the disciples." It was just a matter of collecting elixirs, which was really a piece of cake for Han Li.
"That's it, my master is not around, so take care of yourself..."
After giving a few instructions again, Mo Juren no longer delayed, summoned the green boat, turned into a ray of green light and flew directly through the sky.
"Master, take care of it." Han Li shook the jade slip in his hand and whispered softly. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something again, and then looked at the 'Neon Clothes Grass' in the other hand, and couldn't help but feel a trace of fire in his heart.
