Chapter 20: Borrowing the Northern Territory Lu Zhou's figure traveled through the universe as he inspected his own pure land. After just a moment, he lost interest. It's because this universe looks vast, but it is empty and white. There is nothing else except the pure land where little Nannan is. Lu Zhou held the bronze Buddha statue in his hand and took out the Qiankun Pearl. Then, the Qiankun Pearl turned into a black hole again. Lu Zhou controlled it and collected the five-colored cloud flame. Like Ye Fan, he wanted to use the five-colored cloud flame as his trump card. Soon, a vacuum appeared near him. In a short period of time, most of the colorful cloud flames in the seventh layer of fire were taken away by him. Seeing this, Lu Zhou stopped. Then, he did not leave here immediately, but held the quasi-emperor forbidden weapon in his hand, stepped on the secret of the word "Xing", and kept shuttling back and forth in this fire area. He even went deep into the ninth level of the Fire Realm. When he got there, he saw another small crack on the quasi-emperor forbidden weapon, so he did not go any deeper.
He wanted to see if he could pick up any valuable treasure here. Unfortunately, he saw nothing but some human-like dust and waste. Just like that, Lu Zhou left the Fire Region. He went to the capital of Jin State, where he asked some monks about the location of Xiaoyao Gate. And it was confirmed from their mouths that as long as some price was paid, one could pass through the domain gate of Xiaoyao Sect and go to the Northern Territory. After learning the news, Lu Zhou rested in the capital of Jin State for a day and then went straight to Xiaoyao Gate. With his current speed and full effort, he could reach Xiaoyao Gate from Jin State in just a few days. Xiaoyao Sect is the second most powerful force after the Holy Land and is on par with Taixuan Sect. When Lu Zhou arrived at the Xiaoyao Gate, he found that there were already thousands of people waiting outside the gate. They are all monks who want to try their luck in the Northern Territory. The temptation of the source to the monks is too great. Lu Zhou waited with them for a while, and then several cultivators walked out of Xiaoyao Gate. The leader was a middle-aged man with a sallow face and unsteady steps. He spoke to the cultivators who wanted to pass through the Northern Territory. "I think everyone knows the rules, so I won't say much. If you want to borrow my way, just come forward." As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were waiting came forward one after another. Some people took out some of the instruments they had refined themselves, some took out some materials for refining instruments, or spiritual medicines and fruits, etc. Some were able to pass, while others were rejected after a round of ridicule. Some people begged desperately, but got the coldest response.
Lu Zhou watched all this quietly. When it was his turn, he took out two jade boxes from his arms and opened them. The jade box contained the black jade lotus seeds and green jade snow lotus fruits that he obtained when he signed in at Yuding Cave Heaven and Jinxia Cave Heaven. The middle-aged monk with a sallow face pondered for a moment and spoke to Lu Zhou. "Although the grades of these two spiritual medicines are low, fortunately they are both 500 years old and can be used to refine some longevity pills. You have passed." Three days later, Lu Zhou came to the outside of Xiaoyao Gate again, and entered Xiaoyao Gate together with more than a thousand people who had passed in the past few days. Led by the middle-aged monk, they headed towards the place where the domain gate of Xiaoyao Gate was located. As soon as he entered Xiaoyao Gate, Lu Zhou devoted part of his mind to immersing himself in the system to check. Sure enough, as one of the most important sects in the Eastern Wilderness, the Xiaoyao Sect has naturally met the system's sign-in requirements. Lu Zhou immediately signed in silently in his heart. [Ding! The host has successfully signed in to Xiaoyaomen. The host has obtained 20 small medicine king-level purple gold ginsengs, which have been stored in the host's Qiankunzhu! ] Lu Zhou's heart moved, and he saw twenty ginseng-like medicinal herbs floating in his Qiankun Pearl, which were radiant with purple-gold light. Just two 500-year-old spiritual medicines were exchanged for 20 small medicinal kings and a ticket to cross from the southern region of the Eastern Wasteland to the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland. Lu Zhou felt that this wave was not a loss, but a big profit! He mobilized the power of heaven and earth to wrap the twenty purple ginsengs to prevent their medicinal properties from being lost. Not long after, Lu Zhou and his party were led to a valley. The terrain here is open and there is a huge altar built, which is the place to open the domain gate. They climbed onto the altar one after another, and an elder from the Xiaoyao Sect placed the large amount of source under the altar into the altar room. "Everyone, the destination of this domain gate positioning is Yuancheng, which is 30,000 miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine. I wish you a safe journey!" After the Xiaoyao Sect elder finished speaking, tremendous energy fluctuations emanated from the altar, divine light shot up into the sky, and then the domain gate was opened, the space was torn apart, and a void passage was constructed. Nothing unexpected happened, and Lu Zhou and others all jumped into the void passage. They began to cross the void. The Northern Territory is vast, and the land here is desolate and empty. The soil is red, and there is no sign of life. Lu Zhou feels as if he has returned to the desolate Mars. There is a dead atmosphere everywhere here. In the distant sky, there stands a city, that is Yuancheng! Lu Zhou followed those people and headed towards Yuancheng. After entering the city, he discovered that this Yuancheng indeed allowed him to sign in. It is worthy of being a city standing outside the Taichu Ancient Mine. "Sign in!" Lu Zhou walked on the streets of Yuancheng, looking around Yuancheng while silently signing in in his heart.
[Ding! The host has successfully signed in to the source city. The host has obtained a portion of the blood essence of the ancient holy body, which has been stored in the host's Qiankun Pearl! ] 'Um? ' "The blood of the ancient holy body?" Lu Zhou became interested. He turned around and left Yuancheng, randomly picked a direction, and flew for dozens of miles. Finally, he stopped in a bare rocky mountain and casually dug out a cave. He entered the stone cave and then immediately entered the Qiankun Pearl. Then he saw a ball of crimson blood, about the size of an adult's fist, floating in the sky. There was a surging blood energy rushing into the sky, dyeing the nearby area deep red. Lu Zhou hurriedly mobilized the power of heaven and earth to seal this ball of holy body's essence and blood to prevent the energy contained in it from escaping and being lost. But at this moment, Lu Zhou realized that a wisp of holy blood essence turned into a blood thread and floated towards the green lotus rooted in the Holy Spring of the Empress. It was the Green Lotus that was absorbing the blood and essence of the holy body. After a period of growth, the green lotus that withered and then turned into a lotus seed and sprouted again has now grown to two inches tall. A small lotus leaf has grown on its thin branch. Lu Zhou is looking forward to the lotus seeds it will produce. But at this moment, after it absorbed that trace of holy body's essence and blood, it suddenly began to grow wildly. In just a few breaths, it grew from two inches high to one foot high, and also sprouted a second lotus leaf. Seeing this, Lu Zhou thought about it and decided to peel off a drop of holy body blood from the holy body blood, and then turned it into blood mist, which enveloped the green lotus. After only a short while, Lu Zhou saw the green lotus blooming, emitting a blue cloud all over the sky, with vigorous life energy rising from the green lotus. Then, the green lotus grew wildly as if it had taken a tonic. In just a few breaths, it grew to three feet high and produced three lotus leaves as big as cattail leaves. The lotus flower as big as a human head also blossomed with a "pop" sound. Its twelve petals opened up, revealing the lotus platform it was wrapped in. On the lotus platform, there were three mature lotus seeds that were emitting green, red and golden light! Thank you [Never See You Again] for the 100 points and monthly tickets! (End of this chapter)
