"Zhao'er, you have a big heart, but your current accumulation is not enough for you to condense the magical power you want."
Zhang Shen smiled.
If he hadn't had the help of the system, he wouldn't have been able to condense the magical power of "body control".
The name of his magical power is simple, but it is not inferior to the "Eternity" that Li Zhao wants to condense.
Li Zhao nodded, she understood the difficulty.
"Master, I don't want to give up."
Zhang Shen nodded.
"It's a good thing to have the spirit, just follow me."
It just so happened that Zhang Shen was planning to tell Li Zhao some secrets.
With a wave of his hand, a ball of light wrapped around the two of them and sank into the ground.
Li Zhao was puzzled. Underground
A moment later, Zhang Shen took Li Zhao into the underground cave.
There was light inside, and pearls sparkled on the top of the cave.
The spiritual energy in the cave is rich, several times richer than that of the Ancient Alliance.
There was even a small pool of spiritual water formed by spiritual energy in the cave.
As soon as she entered here, Li Zhao's eyes widened. She didn't expect that there would be such a place under Shanshuiju.
Looking more closely, this empty underground cave was actually filled with magical flowers and herbs.
The quality is not low, the lowest one is of true elixir quality.
Some of the aura emitted made Li Zhao tremble.
“That’s a Dharma-level spiritual object!”
Li Zhao was shocked, "Master, where exactly is this place?"
"This is the secret place I built, and everything here is my treasure."
Zhang Shen landed in the cave and walked into the medicine garden, with Li Zhao following behind him.
"These spiritual flowers and herbs are all acquired by chance over the years. It's just that it's not convenient to take them to the outside world."
Li Zhao nodded wildly. No, once the spiritual flowers and herbs here were taken to the outside world, it would definitely cause an uproar. With the current strength of the Ancient Alliance, they would not be able to withstand it and would be attacked by everyone!
She was secretly shocked that her master was so lucky to have obtained these treasures.
At the same time, she also understood why her master, who was born in the Zhang family of Hongyuan City, could get to where he is today as a member of a small family. How many people can compare with such opportunities and luck
Although her idea was a bit distorted, it was much easier to accept than the actual situation.
"Master, I want..." Li Zhao's heart was pounding. There were so many good things here that made her salivate.
Looking at the storage bag that I thought was full of things, I just felt that I was such a poor bastard.
She was not greedy and just wanted to pick a few magical flowers and herbs here to use as treasures in her storage bag.
"What's the hurry?" Zhang Shen said with a smile.
He didn't mind his disciple's mentality, as anyone would be like this.
It's fine as long as you don't lose your sense of proportion.
Zhang Shen led Li Zhao forward. She felt very uncomfortable looking at the spiritual herbs and fruits she passed by.
Zhang Shen didn't stop until he reached an iron tree.
"Don't even think about other spiritual creatures now. They are not suitable for you."
"It would be a waste if you eat it."
"On the contrary, this is the spiritual object that suits you best right now." Zhang Shen said, pointing to the three iron flowers on the iron tree.
Iron tree? Li Zhao looked over and was very confused. This was just the most common spiritual object. Compared with ordinary wood, it only had the characteristic of being as hard as iron. However, this kind of iron wood rarely had a congenital grade or above, and most of them were acquired grades.
The one in front of us is a rare innate grade iron tree, but what’s so special about it
Li Zhao looked at Zhang Shen in confusion.
Zhang Shen pointed his finger and a stream of magic power fell on the inky black iron flower.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous golden restriction on the iron flower dissipated, and a desolate and unyielding aura spread out.
"What is this?" Li Zhao's eyes were attracted, and the scent emitted by the iron flower made her feel longing.
Zhang Shen said: "Iron trees are very common low-level spiritual trees in the Great Wilderness. Few are above the innate level. The iron flowers on them will wither ten years after blooming."
“But the three iron flowers on this innate iron tree have been blooming for hundreds of years and have not yet withered!”
Zhang Shen sighed: "They were meant to bloom for only ten years, but they have been in full bloom for hundreds of years, still struggling not to decay."
"Just like us warriors, we fight against all things and fight for our lives with heaven and earth."
"Zhao'er, how similar is the eternity you seek to their refusal to succumb to fate?"
As he spoke, Zhang Shen stretched out his hand, and an iron flower swayed. Its roots were firmly stuck in the branch of the iron tree and refused to fall off, but it was still unable to twist Zhang Shen's body and was absorbed by his magic power.
“If you refine it and absorb the will to survive that has accumulated within the flower for hundreds of years, you will have enough foundation to condense the eternal magical power.”
Li Zhao took the iron flowers and was excited, but when she looked at the iron tree with only two iron flowers left, her heart paused. Her excitement seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water and she calmed down.
"After struggling for hundreds of years, you still can't escape the fate of being picked off?"
As if she had realized something, her breath became sharper.
"I will never be plucked like this iron flower!"
Zhang Shen nodded, "This is the second thing I want to tell you."
"Even if your heart desires something, don't forget to sharpen your claws."
"Only when you have power can you pursue what your heart desires!"
Li Zhao solemnly kept this matter in mind.
She knew the importance of strength in the past, but this time she understood it a little better.
Walk from the medicine garden to the center of the cave, where there is a small building, the Wu Building.
It contains all the inheritance that Zhang Shen sorted out from the small blessed land bottle.
It is not at the same level as the skills and martial arts he selected and placed in the Ancient Alliance's Inheritance Hall.
"Zhao'er, this martial arts building has four floors, which store martial arts books of four grades: acquired, innate, true elixir, and Dharma."
"The martial arts within it are very comprehensive, from the simplest to the most advanced, from the lowest to the highest, everything is included."
"With your current cultivation, knowledge, and experience, you can already read the classics here and absorb their essence to plan and perfect your martial arts path."
Showing the underground cave and even the heritage of Wanshan Sect to Li Zhao was not just a sudden idea of Zhang Shen.
He had planned this a long time ago.
She was kept from knowing these things in the past because Li Zhao was still immature and might accidentally expose the matter after knowing it.
Now Li Zhao has even comprehended her own original magical powers, which has proved her potential and maturity.
Someone you can trust with secrets.
"Zhao'er, this is the real foundation of our Ancient Alliance. We must not expose it to the public."
"Until we have enough power, we can't even reveal it to Li Wu, my uncle, and Xue Ling."
Zhang Shen warned.
Li Zhao looked proud and solemn.
The fact that the master told her such an important thing showed his trust in her.
The solemnity comes from carrying such a big secret, which is indeed a bit stressful.
I was afraid that I would reveal my true identity by accident.
Zhang Shen handed Li Zhao a token, with which he could freely enter and exit the underground cave from Shanshui Residence.
If you rush in rashly, you will only be enveloped by the dense
The barrier was blasted into pieces.
Having reaped a lot, Li Zhao temporarily put aside the affairs of the law enforcement team and concentrated on narrowing the last gap and bringing his cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of the innate realm.
For this reason, she temporarily stayed in Shanshuiju, practicing and absorbing iron flowers, while going in and out of the underground caves to read the classics of the acquired and innate levels of the martial arts building.
Although these two levels are no longer of much use to her, they can still enhance her a little, especially in terms of understanding. She is becoming more and more familiar with these two realms.
However, Li Zhao, who kept going in and out of the underground cave, did not know that what she saw was only half of the cave.
She did not see the other half, which was the gathering of all the miscellaneous energy produced by the earth veins.
If she had seen it, she would have known how important this underground cave was.
This place is connected to the remnants of the earth veins deep underground, and has become the source of spiritual energy in the area governed by the Ancient Alliance.
Even the remaining branch of the connected earth vein is slowly recovering and growing stronger under the care of the small blessed land bottle.
The earth veins themselves have the ability to repair themselves, but the Endless Wilderness was hit too hard, so the recovery is slow. With the help of the small blessed land bottle, the speed of the earth vein recovery has increased.
Of course, due to the level of the small blessed land bottle itself, only the remaining branch of the earth vein under the place where the ancient alliance is located benefited from it.
On the contrary, when Li Zhao entered a semi-secluded state, Zhang Shen was so quiet that he wanted to move around. Instead of staying in Shanshuiju, he walked around the area under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Alliance.
The territory controlled by the Ancient Alliance now is not small.
It has long expanded from the original radius of one thousand miles to the current radius of about five thousand miles.
The population under his command exceeds 200 million.
Coupled with Zhang Shen's policy of training civilian warriors, warriors were born under his command in an endless stream.
The power is growing day by day.
No wonder the forces around the Ancient Alliance are wary of it.
With such a rapidly developing and powerful neighbor around, anyone would feel uneasy.
However, Zhang Shen is not ready to deal with the three surrounding forces.
The most important thing now is Li Zhao's breakthrough. Before she breaks through, they can still survive.
The day when Li Zhao broke through the True Dan realm was the beginning of another round of expansion for the Ancient Alliance.
"Alliance leader, what are we going to do?" Zhang Xue asked, a little puzzled. He touched his head and asked, he didn't understand, why should they come out when they were living well in the mountains and rivers
Although Shanshuiju was uninhabited, Zhang Xue didn't care much about it. He didn't have much pursuit for prosperity and enjoyment.
"Of course, I want to come out and live an ordinary life." Zhang Shen held a strange black wooden stick with a dark luster flashing on it.
“The longer you live in the mountains and rivers, the further you are from ordinary people.”
"I also want to see whether the people under me are implementing the policies I set, and how much corners are cut and what should be revised." Zhang Shen's tone was calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent.
He knew very well that his orders could not be executed 100%, but as long as they did not cross the line in his heart, he would not be too harsh.
He was well aware that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
But there will inevitably be people who cannot control their greed and cross that line.
This is what happens to people that law enforcement teams catch every year.
"Oh, I see." Zhang Xue touched his aching head. He was honest and simple, not stupid, and could understand what the leader meant.
"Then leader, where are we going?" Zhang Xue asked.
"Of course I have to go through them all. It won't take long. One or two years will be enough."
Zhang Shen said calmly.
According to his calculations, Li Zhao would almost have a breakthrough by this time.
By then, the ancient alliance, which has been cleansed, will be suitable for outward expansion.
