Everyone was startled, and then laughed.
Yu Qiu Jing was "burying the hatchet" with Chen Xi. He was just looking for an excuse to drink.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Since you said so, I will risk my life to accompany you."
Yu Qiujing snorted coldly: "In terms of strength, maybe I'm not as good as you, but when it comes to drinking skills, you have to be more careful!"
Everyone laughed again.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is indeed no deep hatred between Yu Qiujing and Chen Xi. There is only some minor friction between the two at best.
Of course, most of these small frictions were caused by Yu Qiu Jing, and he had already suffered a lot because of them. It was obviously very wise for him to choose this opportunity to settle the old feud with Chen Xi.
After all, whether it was defeating the joint efforts of Yue Ruhuo and Jin Qingyang, or repelling Zhai Jun with a sword just now, or confronting Luo Shaonong, these many facts have proven that Chen Xi is anything but ordinary.
Facing such a peerless figure who rose like a comet, as long as Yu Qiu Jing was not stupid, he would not continue to fight against him.
However, it obviously requires great courage and courage to let such a proud man from an ancient clan in the Imperial Domain bow his head.
What Yu Qiujing did made Chen Xigao look at him.
No matter what, whether it is Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, or even other cultivators in their camp, they are still happy to see such a scene.
…
This small episode passed in an instant, and soon everyone focused on Zhuan Yushui.
Zhuan Yushui had stood up now and changed into clean clothes. Except for his pale and transparent face, it was impossible to tell that he was on the verge of death just now and was seriously injured and dying.
This is the strength of the God and Demon Body Refiner. As long as the thought is still there, he can recover quickly and his life-saving methods are the best in the world.
However, he may not be able to fully recover from his injuries in a short period of time.
After all, he was too seriously injured in the previous duel with Zhai Jun. If it were any other cultivator, he would have been killed countless times.
"What happened?" Le Wuhen asked.
Zhuan Yushui has always been a taciturn character. Hearing this, he simply said: "The battle for the root of the Dao."
"It's more than that."
One of the monks spoke excitedly. He and the other two followed Zhuan Yushui. Just now, if Zhuan Yushui had not fought to protect him, they would have been killed by Zhai Jun.
Of course, in the end, thanks to Chen Xi's timely rescue, they were truly spared.
According to the introduction of this cultivator, Zhuan Yushui and his party accidentally discovered an ancestral source group here. What made them particularly excited was that this was an ancestral source group containing four seventh-grade monarch-level Tao roots. !
But just as they ingested these four seventh-grade Dao roots, they ran into Luo Shaonong, Zhai Jun and his party. Inevitably, a fierce battle broke out.
In the end, Zhuan Yushui fought to the death and was able to save only one seventh-grade Dao root, while the other three were all taken away.
After hearing this, the expressions of Le Wuhen and others suddenly darkened. They were simply being bullied!
That is the seventh-grade ancestral root!
It can be said that it is something that can only be found, and each one is extremely rare. But now, three of them were snatched away by Luo Shaonong and the others, and Zhuan Yushui and the others almost died because of it. How can this not make people angry
"Hmph, this matter must not be let go. Since they dare to do this, we must retaliate with tooth!" Yu Qiujing was the first to hold back and said angrily through gritted teeth.
"Yes, we must take back those three seventh-grade Dao roots!"
Other cultivators also spoke one after another. They have been looking for the ancestral Tao roots these days, but the number of Tao roots they obtained is not only scarce, but also none of them have reached the seventh grade. Now they heard that there are three seventh-grade Tao roots in their own camp. It would be strange if he didn't feel angry when his Daogen was taken away.
"No, we haven't obtained enough Daogen yet. It's not appropriate to confront Luo Shaonong and the others at this time."
Le Wuhen pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "Firstly, if a war starts at this time, it will definitely affect our search for the Daogen. Secondly, it is also because our real goal is to obtain the ninth-grade emperor-level Daogen from the original ancestral source. If we start a war in advance at this time, I'm afraid that other forces will take the opportunity to invade. After all, we and Luo Shaonong are not the only ones who entered the ancestral land this time."
This is reasonable and reasonable, and although everyone is extremely unwilling to accept it, they can only accept it.
Indeed, the war with Luo Shaonong and the others at this moment will definitely be extremely brutal. It is no exaggeration to say that even if they can finally recapture the three seventh-grade Dao roots, both sides will suffer heavy losses.
Such a result is something that none of them can bear.
"Don't worry, as long as they are still in this ancestral land, we have a chance to get Daogen back."
Chen Xi said from the side, "Even if revenge is not possible at this time, when the original ancestor appears, we and Luo Shaonong will inevitably meet. By then, all hatred can be settled."
When everyone saw Chen Xi saying the same thing, they immediately understood that they could only choose to endure it at this time.
…
Next, after a brief discussion, everyone made a decision not to divide into groups to act. This would also prevent something like what happened to Zhuan Yushui and the others from happening again.
More importantly, as time goes by, there are more and more cultivators in this ancestral land, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. At this time, it is really not suitable to act separately.
Without wasting any more time, everyone immediately started taking action again.
On the way, Chen Xi also learned that the previous three teams of Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, and Yu Qiujing also encountered a lot of competition and fights, but in the end they all survived without any danger. Unfortunately, the Taoist team gained The number of roots is very few.
On the contrary, he, Tao Dong, and Wei Zifu have obtained the largest number of Dao roots.
However, there are still nearly ten days until the initial ancestral source appears. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they are not worried about not getting the ancestral source. It is just a matter of grade.
Five days later.
Chen Xi and his party were standing next to a seventh-grade ancestral source. Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, Yu Qiujing and others all looked helpless.
There was no way, they were a step too late, and this was another empty seventh-grade ancestral source!
During these five days, they did not encounter any major dangers. The journey was peaceful, and after gathering together, with their power, other cultivators did not dare to confront them.
However, they only obtained a handful of six Dao Roots along the way, four of which were fifth-grade Dao Roots, two sixth-grade Dao Roots, and not even a seventh-grade Dao Root.
It's not that they haven't encountered the seventh-grade ancestral origins, but when they discovered it, the roots of these seventh-grade ancestral origins had already been climbed by others.
The current situation is that among their group, except for Chen Xi, Le Wuhen, Shen Tu Yanran, and Yu Qiu Jing, the other cultivators have each obtained a Dao root, either the sixth grade or the fifth grade. It also satisfied them.
Zhuan Yushui already had a seventh-grade Dao root.
Only the five of them, Chen Xi, had been searching hard for the Taoist root of level seven or above but could not find it, which made them feel a little anxious.
It seems that not long after, the initial ancestral source will appear. If then, there will be no time to obtain other roots.
In other words, there is not much time left for them to obtain the Daogen!
"Damn it. There are at least three hundred cultivators who have entered the land of ancestral origin this time, making the competition increasingly fierce. Finding an ancestral origin that no one has picked is simply harder than climbing to the sky." Yu Qiu Jing was a little irritable.
"Despite this, there are still some areas that have not been explored yet. This also means that we still have a chance, so we don't have to be so anxious." Le Wuhen comforted with a smile.
"Of course I know this truth, but I'm worried that when we arrive, other cultivators will have already arrived first." Yu Qiu Jing said depressedly, "The number of seventh-grade Dao roots is already scarce. If we continue like this, how can we get there?"
Shentu Yanran said deeply: "If it doesn't work, we will go find Luo Shaonong!"
"Looking for him?" Yu Qiu Jing was startled, and then asked in surprise, "You mean, we are going to take back those three seventh-grade Dao roots?"
Shentu Yanran shrugged and said, "Besides doing this, is there any other way?"
Chen Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I want to go searching alone."
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
Le Wuhen immediately spoke: "Chen Xi, this is very dangerous."
Chen Xi smiled and said, "I understand, but it's not that easy for others to cause trouble for me."
Seeing that Chen Xi had made up his mind, everyone stopped trying to persuade him.
"Then take the Shenluo Bei and notify us immediately if you encounter any danger. Remember, you must return before the original ancestor appears at the latest." Le Wuhen warned.
"I see."
Chen Xi nodded, then his figure flashed and floated away.
"Chen Xi, isn't he planning to kill people and seize treasures alone?" Yu Qiujing joked.
"He would not do this unless he met his enemy." Shentu Yanran was thoughtful, and she was somewhat confused about Chen Xi's thoughts.
"Let's act quickly. Time is running out. I hope we can all get a seventh-grade Dao root before the initial ancestral source appears." Le Wuhen took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
The current changes in the situation have made them all dare not expect to obtain an eighth-grade king-level Dao root. This shows how fierce the competition is in this ancestral land. Even top-level gods like them find it extremely difficult and retreat. Ask for the second best.
Uh-huh!
At the same time, Chen Xi's figure flickered in time and space, whizzing straight towards due north.
These days, as the time when the initial ancestral origin appears gets closer and closer, that vague call appears in his heart again.
Until now, this call had become extremely clear, lingering in his heart all the time, which made Chen Xi unable to sit still.
He was not sure what this call meant, whether it was danger or opportunity, so for the sake of everyone's safety, he just said goodbye to everyone and chose to go alone!
