We advanced all the way to the Meteorite Plain. Once we left the protective layer, the meteor shower above our heads poured down in a not-too-dense manner, leaving holes all around us.
Looking out, all you can see are meteors falling continuously.
This is the first hurdle that an innate cultivator must face when confirming to enter the next stage of practice after achieving success in cultivation.
It is also a matter of life and death!
The reason why high-level martial arts schools require students who have graduated from martial arts schools to go to their respective colleges independently or in groups is because of this—to help them adapt more quickly to the living atmosphere, living environment, and living conditions that innate and higher-level martial artists need to face!
If there is external help, such as parents or hiring powerful practitioners to escort, it will only make the person concerned feel dependent and misjudge his or her own survival ability. After the protective power fades, he or she will be in danger at any time.
As you can see now, the entire meteorite plain is like a battlefield covered in fire and smoke, with shells constantly falling. Even though they are not particularly dense, the lethality is real and can actually kill people.
Whether ordinary people or weaker practitioners!
If you encounter a large-scale meteor shower containing meteorites containing exotic materials, even an expert can be killed!
There is naturally a road on the Meteorite Plain, and it is a relatively safe passage.
However, these passages are formed by alliances of many large merchants who travel along this road all year round. Every certain distance, someone is needed to put up a shield to protect the passage. Over time, a special economic method has been formed on the road: tolls!
After all, they are protecting the road from being destroyed by meteorites, and at the same time they provide great convenience without having to worry about life safety.
As long as you pass through this road, it will be safe, so everyone is always willing to pay the toll and there are rarely any disputes.
But Zuo Xiaoduo and Li Chenglong obviously had no intention of taking the safe passage.
What they chose was: jumping all the way through the wilderness.
This journey is both a practice and an experience.
The two of them had already opened the training equipment exclusively for Qianlong high-level martial arts students.
This entrance examination training device will faithfully record all the situations the two encounter along the way!
If your life is really in danger, you can also take the initiative to press the emergency call button, and naturally a Qianlong Gaowu teacher will come to help you soon.
However, no matter how talented or talented you are, from the moment you press the emergency button, you will lose all the privileges you originally had in Gaowu Academy and become an ordinary student!
"Zhongzhong, you claim to be well-versed in history and the four poles, but do you know what is going on with the meteor shower that keeps falling from the sky?"
Zuo Xiaoduo asked with a smile as he slapped away a meteorite falling from the sky.
"I don't know the exact reason. There are too many speculations about this."
Li Chenglong sighed and said, "A relatively reliable guess is that there was a world-destroying war back then. Several powerful stars fought in the starry sky, causing the universe to collapse and the galaxy to shatter, causing endless star rain to return to the source of Yuanli, resulting in such a scene... But at least in my opinion, this statement is not accurate. How can there be a decisive battle that can last for tens of thousands of years? There is no meteor shower that can last for tens of thousands of years!"
"There must be some other reason."
Li Chenglong dodged meteorites and walked forward in a serpentine manner, saying, "I am more inclined to believe that... in the distant starry sky, there is a planet that is tens of millions times larger than our continent and is constantly fissioning..."
"During the fission process, the star debris formed a huge number of meteorites, which fell down continuously and eventually formed a meteor shower."
Li Chenglong said.
"Why do you have such an idea? Although the previous statement has not been officially recognized, it is the most mainstream statement, right?" Zuo Xiaoduo asked curiously.
"The main reason why I agree with the latter statement is that the fallen Star Soul Jade..."
Li Chenglong said: "Over the years, although the quality of Star Soul Jade varies greatly, as long as the meteorite contains Star Soul Jade, the basic composition is the same."
"You have to know that the difference is only in quality, but the content and composition factors are basically the same. It can be concluded that they come from the same planet."
Li Chenglong said: "What we lack now is just a lack of concrete basis."
Zuo Xiaoduo was silent for a long time, and said: "Your argument seems reasonable, but it is also easy to refute. You must know that we also have Star Soul Jade in our Star Soul Continent. And the composition is exactly the same as that brought down by meteorites. What do you think?"
Li Chenglong said: "This is another matter. I am just more inclined to the second view. This inference is not necessarily accurate."
Just as the two were discussing heatedly, a whistling sound suddenly appeared in the air.
Under the influence of the Qi, their minds raced, and they jumped away quickly to the left and right. But after a loud bang, a meteorite as big as two millstones combined, smashed heavily on the ground, carrying a hot breath.
Immediately, a big hole was smashed into the solid ground, which was several meters wide and very deep.
The ground around them shook in unison, and everything on the surface within a radius of dozens of miles jumped up.
At the same time, a strong spiritual energy came towards him.
“This piece is quite large.”
Zuo Xiaoduo took a look and jumped down, grabbing the big rock directly with his hand, completely ignoring the temperature that was enough to burn an ordinary person into ashes, and threw it up casually.
With a loud bang, the meteorite fell to the ground for the second time, but did not cause greater damage. Zuo Xiaoduo moved, and the Spirit Cat Sword came into his hand. The sword body flashed red, and it was the infusion of the Yan Yang Sutra. He chopped down the sword fiercely.
The big rock was split from one side like tofu.
“Oh shit!”
Li Chenglong was startled.
This huge meteorite, which is estimated to weigh tens of thousands of pounds, was revealed after about three feet of the surface was cut off, revealing a large and complete piece of green Star Soul Jade hidden in the middle.
“It’s a good harvest.”
Zuo Xiaoduo took the sword and cut the entire piece of Star Soul Jade into a large square piece as if cutting tofu: "All of them are of medium quality, which is a small harvest. When I get to Qianlong, I can use this piece as a mattress."
Li Chenglong's eyes turned red.
This is a huge piece as big as a calf, and it is made entirely of mid-grade Star Soul Jade!
Judging from these... there must be at least 20,000 kilograms, right
Putting aside the market price, the value will only double just because it is in such a complete state!
This was like a windfall falling from the sky and directly into Zuo Xiaoduo's pocket.
"Why didn't I see that?"
Li Chenglong felt depressed, thinking that he had acted too late. If he had acted earlier, he would have been able to get a share of the pie.
Although Li Chenglong has gained a lot from every training since he teamed up with Zuo Xiaoduo and others, and his wealth has changed a lot, but as the practice continues, more and more resources are needed every day. He may not care about small amounts of money, but he is still quite envious of such a large piece of mid-grade Star Soul Jade.
"Don't be so envious. With your knowledgeable mind, you will be able to figure out many things if you think carefully. I can achieve this because I have many convenient conditions, and these conditions are not available to you now..."
"A meteorite is falling nearby. This is a fortune in itself. However, if you want to cash in on this fortune, many conditions are required. First of all, you must grasp the meteorite in your hands as soon as possible and deal with it as quickly as possible. Do you have such great strength? Can you withstand the heat of the meteorite?"
Zuo Xiaoduo handled it carefully and threw it into the ring: "The reason why I can successfully obtain the hidden Star Soul Jade is that the strength, the Yanyang Divine Art and my Spirit Cat Sword are indispensable. You must know that with the firepower of the meteorite, a considerable part of the Star Soul Jade will be carbonized, right?"
Li Cheng's mind raced, and he figured it out in an instant, but he still sighed: "Even if what you said is all right, you are making a lot of money now, but I have nothing, and I have to be scolded by you... Why did I let my heart be blinded by greed and go with you in the first place? I regret it now!"
"Regret it?!" Zuo Xiaoduo snorted, "It's not too late to get out now. It's just the beginning!"
"… "
Li Chenglong didn't want to talk anymore.
"Zhongzhong, when are you going to pay me the money you owe me?" Zuo Xiaoduo thought of his space ring again.
“No money!”
Li Chenglong was furious and said fiercely, "I don't have money for you, and I won't give you my life! Speaking of this huge piece of windfall, are you really not going to give me half of it?"
"Damn... asking for debts can't even shut you up!" Zuo Xiaoduo screamed.
"Tsk, considering your character, if you didn't want to keep it all for yourself, would you deliberately bring up a debt that you can't even get back at this time?"
Li Chenglong's eyes were full of contempt.
I just talked about a lot of theories, but what I meant was that this windfall is all yours. I didn't contribute anything, so why should I get a share of the profits
But the stuff was already in Zuo Xiaoduo's pocket, and he wanted him to take it out and redistribute it... Li Chenglong felt that even someone like Li Changming who could control dreams would not dare to have such a dream.
Next, Li Chenglong turned his attention to the falling meteorites and the possible elixirs within his field of vision.
It has to be said that once Li Chenglong's extensive knowledge is fully unleashed, he will gain more than Zuo Xiaoduo.
The two of them kept arguing as they walked forward, neither of them giving in.
"Why do you take half of what I found? Did you contribute anything? And yet you want to get something for nothing? I think you must be blind!"
"Brothers have a good relationship, so it is reasonable and logical to share the money when we meet."
"Then why didn't you give me half of the Star Soul Jade you just harvested?"
"We have a good relationship as brothers, how could we take away someone else's favorite thing? Besides, the piece is too complete, it would be a pity to cut it in half."
"You can just give me the whole piece!"
"Does your space ring have such a large memory space? Don't you want the other things in it?"
"… No, then you can give me half of the money from the sale."
"Brothers have a good relationship. Don't mention money. It will hurt feelings."
"… "
