1862: C1862 Gift

C1862 Gift

After tasting so many samples and finding nothing wrong, the Mutated Ironwire was speechless.

"I can only taste it myself."

"Master, if you're worried, summon a few more beasts and let everyone eat a bit."

"This is cheating. I'm afraid Lord Shennong will be unhappy."

Mu Chen could do nothing about it. He reached out his hand and picked an unknown grass from the side and put it in his mouth to chew.

The bitter taste was even more exaggerated than the yellow lotus, causing his facial features to twist together.

Snot and tears could not help but flow out. He was simply in a sorry state.

He staggered back to the front of Lord Shennong.

"I don't know if the herbs are poisonous or not, and I don't know how long they can last. But before I die, I should be able to see the true face of the Earth Book, right?"

"You don't even care about your own life anymore?"

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I can't avoid it. If Master Shennong really wants to harm me, I can't escape no matter what."

Shennong's gaze was somewhat meaningful.

He had a pretty good personal relationship with the Dragon Clan's Great Prophet. Naturally, he wouldn't harm this direct disciple.

Thinking back, when he tried all kinds of herbs, he couldn't make up his mind about some varieties.

He might as well take them to the Prophet and let him analyze them.

This seemingly cheating method allowed Shennong to escape several fatal threats.

When Shennong found out that Mu Chen did not have much to do with Yun Wuya, he wanted to teach him this book. It was just a test of his courage and judgement.

A ball of golden light flashed in front of Mu Chen, and the ancient scroll slowly opened. This was the legendary book.

The flowers, plants, ores, and crystals that were nurtured by the earth were all recorded in it.

Even the areas where the environment was extremely dangerous and no human martial cultivators had stepped foot in were described in detail, immediately attracting Mu Chen's attention.

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things."

"I've lived on Earth for so many years, but I haven't noticed the many mysterious places mentioned in the book."

"Martial artists have very strong goals. Very few people can enjoy the scenery like me, enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers, and taste the flowers and plants."

"Senior's breadth of mind and vision are truly admirable."

It was a pity that he had only flipped through a few pages.

He felt all the qi and blood in his body crazily surge into his head, causing his eyes to glow with a golden light, and he felt dizzy and weak.

In the end, he lay unconscious beside the scroll.

Wan Mingzhu was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly ran to Mu Chen's side to measure his breath and pulse.

He was still breathing, but she didn't know how long he could last.

"I beg Lord Shennong to be magnanimous and spare his life."

"Who said Mu Chen would die?"

"If you want to make a request, then go and walk around the garden. The rules here will never change."

"Otherwise, just stay by the side and watch the show."

The whole family business was on Wan Mingzhu's shoulders. She couldn't risk her own life for this man who had nothing to do with her.

Time passed by.

The blood in Mu Chen's body finally calmed down, like the tide of the ocean.

The desire in his mind was completely washed away, causing him to fall into an unprecedented state of clarity.

After recovering his senses, Mu Chen immediately stood up.

He cupped his hands in gratitude.

"I will accept Lord Shennong's gift."

"Such a heavy gift is really worrisome. What should I do to repay you?"

As the saying goes, one who survives a great disaster will have good fortune in the future.

Mu Chen did not think that his luck was very strong. He thought that Lord Shennong had done it on purpose.

"The trouble caused by the warriors of the Undead Clan is not enough to cause the entire space to fall. I don't want to clean up the mess. I hope you can take care of it before the situation becomes worse."

"I will do my best."

Other than the Earth Book, Shennong took out another crutch and handed it to Mu Chen.

This was carved from the root of a special plant, which could play a great role in future battles.

Finally, he set foot on the road home.

Mu Chen used the beast bone scimitar to split open a long and narrow spatial crack, and took Wan Mingzhu back to Earth by a shortcut.

Landing steadily in the outskirts of the capital, Mu Chen could no longer suppress his curiosity.

With a wave of his hand, he threw out the Lapis Lazuli Pagoda.

"What do you want to do?"

"There are a few tables of seedlings of ancient plants stored in the pagoda. Go in and compete with them. At the same time, test the effects of the walking stick and the Earth Book."

The size of the glass tower became bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, it had risen by dozens of meters.

Mu Chen gently pushed open the door and walked in with Wan Mingzhu.

Inside was a very special independent space that could store all kinds of weapons.

The sapling that was dug out from the Kunlun Mountains floated not far away.

Sensing the fluctuations of Mu Chen's aura, they immediately began to tremble violently, causing the emerald leaves to fall and turn into sharp daggers that shot at the two of them.

"Whoosh, whiz, whiz..."

"Whoosh woosh woosh..."

Before the leaves could hit their target, the walking stick in Mu Chen's hand also extended out a crooked branch.1

The walking stick emitted a strange absorption ability. The leaves and petals were stuck to it just like that, as if they were grown by it.

"Interesting."

"I don't need to infuse any spiritual energy into it to launch an attack on my own, and it can even completely restrain these ancient plants."

Mu Chen was very satisfied, and the few sapling in the distance also noticed that something was wrong.

They rampaged around in an attempt to escape from the battlefield, but unfortunately, the inside of the pagoda was a completely sealed space.

The branches on the walking stick continued to split and grow. In the blink of an eye, it went from one branch to hundreds.

They swept toward the saplings.

The branches were everywhere. People couldn't tell which side they belonged to.

Along with the ear-piercing sound of friction, the ancient saplings were actually forcibly torn apart. They were also stuck to the walking stick and lost their consciousness.

"As expected of a gift from Lord Shennong. Its power seems to be even more powerful than my Son of Heaven Sword."

"The stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility."

"In my opinion, Lord Shennong wants to use your power to get rid of these bad guys."

Only a peaceful environment could guarantee the profits of these large business families. Wan Mingzhu hoped that Mu Chen would make a move as soon as possible.

The two of them stayed in the pagoda for a while before returning to the capital in a hurry.

...

Ever since those powerful criminals had infiltrated the Korean peninsula, peaceful days had never returned.

They had split up and hid in the deep mountains and forests, plundering the nearby villages and factories. The wealth they had accumulated was enough for them to live a life of luxury.

The officials in charge of security and order sent troops to encircle them, but they were all killed.
