The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Qin Jun and the others set out. They left the management of Shashen City to the disciples of You Fenghuang and the Southern Ming Holy Sect. If they encountered any trouble, they would naturally ask the strong members of the Southern Ming Holy Sect for help. Qin Jun was not worried about the city being taken over by the Southern Ming Holy Sect after they left. He could always snatch it back.
They didn't put in too much effort anyway. They would just collect spirit stones monthly from now on.
Sitting on Lei Zhenzi's cloud, Qin Jun played with a small white bottle containing three large Yan Dan pills. Each pill could help him increase his cultivation by a hundred years. He had wanted to use them before, but had been holding back. Three hundred years of cultivation might push him to the peak of the Void Transformation Realm, but not break through. As for why he couldn't, according to the system, his talent was average.
Indeed, his talent was nothing special. His previous life was known for being a waste. Although it was largely due to his lack of learning and skills, his innate talent was also mediocre. He had the most common Five Elements spiritual root.
"Sigh, I envy that kid Yan San. Single spiritual root talent, and it's even the rare Wind spiritual root. His progress in cultivation is simply astonishing," Qin Jun sighed.
Yan San was now under the tutelage of Guan Yu. Qin Jun had originally wanted to send him to one of the three major sects of the Great Qin Kingdom, but Guan Yu had refused, saying that the three major sects were not worthy of him.
As for the divine and demonic beings under Qin Jun, they were not interested in taking disciples, not even the Wind spiritual root geniuses.
Compared to Qin Jun, any single spiritual root genius was insignificant.
"What is there for Your Majesty to envy? Although Your Majesty has the Five Elements spiritual root, your talent is an existence that only appears once in a thousand years," Liu Bowen smiled. Qin Jun could only smile wryly at this.
One's own family knows one's own hardships. How could he have strong talent? He was a cheater who had hacked the system.
"Never mind, I'll keep it. It will come in handy for the next time I cultivate the Undying Holy Body," Qin Jun shook his head and then put the small white bottle into the mythical space.
By the third level of cultivating the Undying Holy Body, he no longer needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his body. He needed other special energies, such as heavenly thunder and mysterious fire, which were hard to come by.
"Oh, right, System, didn't I have a random lottery chance? I almost forgot. Let's start the draw now!"
Qin Jun said in his mind, indifferent to the random draw. He didn't lack resources now, only time, and he had a group of subordinates. If he hadn't just taken out the Yan Dan pills, he would have almost forgotten about the draw.
"Ding! Start the random draw..."
As long as it's not something useless.
Qin Jun thought to himself as his thoughts drifted to the Death Valley.
The Death Valley was nearly three hundred miles from Shashen City.
For Lei Zhenzi's cloud-riding technique, three hundred miles was just a matter of moments. It wouldn't take long for them to reach the Death Valley.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Rejuvenation Pill!"
Rejuvenation Pill?
Qin Jun had the system bring it out directly. He had heard of the Rejuvenation Pill. As the name suggests, it is a pill that keeps youth forever, and it has an irresistible appeal to female cultivators.
Well, there's only one!
Qin Jun looked at the black pill in his palm and thought, then directly threw it into his mouth.
Tsk tsk, I also want to experience the feeling of not aging. I can't afford to lose this handsome face!
Qin Jun thought smugly. Daji and Xiao Li didn't need the Rejuvenation Pill anyway. Zhu Yanqing and You Fenghuang weren't rich and powerful, so let them buy it themselves.
"Your Highness, what pill did you just take?" Li Cunxiao asked curiously.
"Rejuvenation Pill," Qin Jun shrugged and said, causing everyone to twitch their mouths.
A man taking a Rejuvenation Pill?
And Qin Jun was very young...
...
They encountered no trouble along the way, and soon they saw the outline of the Death Valley.
Looking down from above, the mountains were bare, making the valley look desolate when combined with the desert. The Death Valley was a gap between the mountains, crisscrossed with various plants and trees, resembling a rainforest. If you looked closely, you could see the figures of cultivators.
"Hey, how are you going to contact the Abyss Gate branch next?" Qin Jun turned to Mogu Jie and asked. Mogu Jie, who was in a daze, shivered when he heard the question, then stammered, "I don't know..."
Damn it!
Are you kidding me?
Qin Jun's face immediately turned unfriendly, but seeing Mogu Jie trembling in fear, he lost interest in getting angry. So he turned to Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, and Li Cunxiao and asked, "Can you use your divine sense to locate the position of the Abyss Gate branch?"
At least Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong were both Golden Immortal-level powerhouses, so it shouldn't be difficult.
Yuan Hong frowned and said, "I tried just now, but it's not working. There's something wrong with this Death Valley."
"Yes, it seems like there's some kind of restriction," Lei Zhenzi nodded.
The so-called restriction was actually a kind of defensive formation, more advanced than a formation. A formation required a medium, while a restriction only needed spiritual power or mana to be cast. Those who could cast restrictions were very powerful. At least Qin Jun couldn't cast restrictions because he had never studied them.
"Let's land first!"
Qin Jun pondered and said, they could just conduct a carpet search.
Not long after, the group landed at the mouth of a gorge in the Death Valley. The grass underfoot was slippery, and although it was daytime, the sunlight was blocked by the trees and flowers on the surrounding slopes, leaving only a few beams of light to shine through the cracks, making the gorge somewhat dim.
Qin Jun took out the Soul-summoning Bell, causing Liu Bowen and the others to twitch their eyes again. It was another ghostly item.
"Jing jing jing—"
Qin Jun lightly shook the Soul-summoning Bell, causing Liu Bowen to look dazed for a moment, while the others, with their profound cultivation, were unaffected.
Soon, Heibai Wuchang slowly emerged from behind Qin Jun, making Lei Zhenzi and others alert, and even leaving Mogu Jie dumbfounded.
How much strength and hidden cards does Qin Jun still have?
Mogu Jie thought in horror that if he could start over, he would never take on the task of destroying the Qianyue Kingdom.
"Heibai Wuchang, help me search for a group of people. Their aura is similar to this guy's, all demonic cultivators," Qin Jun ordered Heibai Wuchang. He did not introduce Heibai Wuchang to Liu Bowen and others, as the emperor had to balance the relationships between various factions under his command. Although these gods and demons were loyal to him, it didn't mean they all saw each other as family. There might be conflicts in the future.
Heibai Wuchang glanced at Mogu Jie, nodded, and disappeared on the spot.
Throughout the process, Heibai Wuchang did not speak, leaving Liu Bowen and others with a mysterious impression.
"Let's wait here for a while," Qin Jun smiled.
At this moment, Yuan Hong suddenly frowned and said, "Someone is coming!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jun subconsciously turned to look, but before he could see the figure, he heard a somewhat familiar voice: "The way of heaven is boundless, the Buddha's teachings are endless..."
Following the voice, they saw Sang Liang, the old monk, sliding down the mountainside, causing leaves to fly in all directions.
Qin Jun's mouth twitched. How come it's this old guy again?
Midnight bomb! Blasting the immortal cultivation party to death!
