Xuanyuan Dynasty, one capital, three provinces, Kyushu and 27 prefectures, the territory is vast, and the mountains and rivers are splendid.

The three tasks that Chen Zong took were selected to advance on the optimal route and completed them one by one.

The first task is to pick the essence of the elixir, which is used in alchemy.

The essence of the cold underworld is located in the cold underworld mountain, and generally grows in the cave, how to find it, it depends on the individual.

Cold Immortal Mountain is a mountain within the Ming Yuan Dao, and Chen Zong can directly reach the Ming Yuan City of the Ming Yuan Dao through the Void Gate of the Void Temple, which can save a lot of time invisibly.

Leave Mingyuan City and go straight to Hanming Mountain.

The Cold Underworld Mountain is a huge mountain range, stretching for more than a million miles, as soon as you step into the boundary of the Cold Underworld Mountain, you can immediately feel the temperature drop, the deeper the depth, the deeper the cold, ordinary people simply cannot survive in this environment, and they will be frozen to death in just a few breaths.

But such a chill was nothing to Chen Zong.

While marching deep into the mountains, Chen Zong comprehended the fusion of the four-step half-step sword intent and the four-step half-step fire intent.

Once the fusion is successful, its own strength will once again break through the limit and become stronger.

"Now, if I don't borrow the power of the Shura clone, I may be able to resist or even kill the ordinary early stage of entering the Holy Realm. A thought permeated Chen Zong's mind.

As for whether this is the case, I am not sure, after all, my strength has indeed improved a lot, but it is not a lot.

According to the hints on the task, Chen Zong quickly searched for it.

There are many holes in the Cold Cave, which are called the Cold Caves, and almost every Cold Cave will produce the true essence of the Cold Underworld.

It's just that after so many years, many of the cold and dark essence in the cold and dark caves have long been taken away by people, although they will regenerate, but it takes time, and it often takes a hundred years to produce a point of cold and dark essence, and over time, the cold and dark essence is becoming less and less, and it is becoming more and more precious.

The essence of the cold underworld in the earliest days was available almost everywhere, and its value was not high at all.

As for now if you want to find the essence of the cold underworld, the difficulty has increased by a thousand times and thousands of times, and its value has increased by more than ten thousand times, but tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand times.

Even so, there are still many cultivators who will enter the Cold Netherworld Mountain, just to find the true essence of the Cold Netherworld, and sell it, so that they can get a lot of wealth for their own cultivation.

Chen Zong walked out of a cave, which was an abandoned cave, but Chen Zong also went in to try his luck to see if it was the right time to encounter the regeneration of the cold and dark essence, but unfortunately it didn't.

Chen Zong was not discouraged, this was only the first cave, and there were many caves in the Cold Underworld Mountain.

Keep looking.

One!

Two seats!

Three-seater!

Chen Zong searched one after another, but he didn't find the true essence of the cold and the underworld.

However, this task is a Xuan-level mid-level task, rewarding six hundred Xuanyuan meritorious deeds and one hundred Diyuan Dan, which is very valuable, and it is normal to be difficult to find.

Chen Zong searched patiently, and searched for more than a dozen caves, but still did not find the true essence of the cold and the underworld.

When Chen Zong came out of a cave again, he met three cultivators.

The three cultivators were two men and one woman, one was middle-aged and the other was young, and the woman also looked like a young man.

When he saw Chen Zong, the young man's eyes were vigilant, and the young woman was staring, as if she wanted to see through Chen Zong, and the middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he was immediately restrained, revealing a smile.

"Friend, it seems that you are also here to find the essence of the cold underworld. The middle-aged man greeted with a smile.

Chen Zong nodded.

"I can see that my friend, this is the first time you've come to find the essence of the cold underworld. The middle-aged man spoke again, which made Chen Zong a little surprised, how could he see it?

As if seeing the hint of surprise in Chen Zong's heart, the middle-aged man smiled again and said: "My name is Yuan Zhao, I am a marrow seeker, and I have rich experience in finding the true essence of the cold underworld. ”

Yuan Zhao pointed to a cave not far away and said.

His words are not false, he does haunt the Cold Underworld Mountain all the year round, looking for the true essence of the Cold Underworld and selling it, therefore, over the years, he has accumulated a wealth of experience, although he dare not say that it is 100% correct, but he can also have a 70% or 80% correct rate.

"If you're willing to pay some price, I can take you in search of the Essence of the Cold. Yuan Zhao stated his purpose.

Chen Zong glanced at Yuan Zhao deeply, and then smiled slightly: "What price?"

With his extremely keen perception, Chen Zong could feel that this person was not as kind as he appeared to be, at least, the purpose was not so pure.

However, the other party does have the experience of finding the essence of the cold and the underworld, which will help him.

As for the other party's bad intentions, Chen Zong was not afraid, after all, the cultivation of these three people was only at the semi-saint level.

At the semi-saint level, Chen Zong is fearless, no matter how bad he is, he still has a Shura clone available, and the strength of the Shura clone is now much stronger than before.

Strength is confidence and the source of self-confidence.

Strength, when fearless, of course, fearlessness is not only related to strength, but also related to the heart, some people are not enough, even if the strength is not enough to be confident, do things timidly.

Chen Zong will not.

"Not much, ten Diyuan Dan. Yuan Zhao smiled and said, "If you find the true essence of the cold and the dark under my guidance, you will have to pay me another hundred Diyuan Pills." ”

Yuan Zhao's asking price is not small, of course, compared to the value of the true essence of the cold underworld, it is not very much.

"Yes. "Chen Zong directly took out ten Diyuan Dan and gave it to the other party, this is a transaction.

Yuan Zhao took the ten Diyuan Pills, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he was instantly restrained and invisible.

"Come with me. Yuan Zhao said, as for the two young men, a man and a woman, he didn't make any introductions, and the two didn't speak, as if they were dumb.

If the other party didn't speak, of course Chen Zong wouldn't pay attention to it.

I have to say that this Yuan Zhao's experience is really rich, and some abandoned caves can be concluded after a few observations by him, whether there is the true essence of the cold and the underworld, which has saved Chen Zong a lot of time.

Immediately, Yuan Zhao stopped in front of a cave, and after a careful observation, his face was slightly solemn, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Nine times out of ten, there is the essence of the cold and the underworld. Yuan Zhao said in a low voice, secretly a little excited.

For people like them, it is not so easy to find the essence of the cold and the underworld, and of course they will be very excited to find one.

As for why they didn't find themselves and sell it, there were other reasons, such as not having enough strength to keep the cold essence.

Hearing the essence of the cold and the dark, Chen Zong's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't rush in.

"Let's go. Yuan Zhao immediately said, and took the lead in stepping out of the cave, and Chen Zong also entered it, and then, the young man also stepped out and walked into it, and the moment he walked in, he glanced back at the young woman, and his eyes signaled.

The young woman nodded imperceptibly, and immediately, after entering the cave, she did not immediately go deeper, but quickly arranged it, sealing the entrance of the cave, forming a barrier of light like rippling water waves.

With this barrier, both entry and exit will be blocked.

After arranging, the young woman immediately walked into the cave.

As the marrow seeker Yuan Zhao continued to go deeper, Chen Zong could feel that the terrain was going down, the temperature in the air was getting lower and lower, and a lot of ice slag could be seen on the cave walls and the top of the cave, exuding an amazing chill.

Foundation Realm cultivators would find it difficult to move in such a place.

However, Chen Zong still didn't feel any discomfort, even if it was twice as low as the temperature, it couldn't affect Chen Zong in the slightest.

"It's almost there. Yuan Zhao said in a low voice, and the excitement in his tone could not be suppressed.

About a thousand meters deeper, Yuan Zhao stopped, Chen Zong also stopped, staring ahead, there was a small pit, and there was a puddle of black liquid in the pit, very thick, exuding an amazing chill.

The essence of the cold!

Chen Zong's eyes suddenly lit up, he took one step, and his body appeared in front of the cold essence like the wind, and he directly took out the jade bottle and sucked it, and immediately absorbed the cold essence into the jade bottle.

In this way, as long as you bring this piece of the cold essence back to Xuanyuan Palace and hand it in, you can get six hundred Xuanyuan merits and one hundred earth yuan pills.

It doesn't matter if Chen Zong has the 100 Earth Yuan Dan, he can have it or not, but the 600 Xuanyuan meritorious deeds are what Chen Zong really needs.

Immediately, Chen Zong took out one hundred Earth Yuan Dan and handed it to Yuan Zhao, which was the price he had said before.

After taking himself to find the true essence of the cold underworld and obtaining the true essence of the cold underworld, he will have to pay the price of another hundred Yuan Dan.

Yuan Zhao took the hundred Yuan Dan and put it away directly, and immediately a strange smile appeared on his face, and he quickly retreated, and at the same time waved his hand, and suddenly the light was agitated, criss-crossed, and spread in all directions, directly blocked.

The speed was extremely fast, even if Chen Zong was vigilant, it was a line slower, and he was shrouded in it, like a cage.

"What does this mean?" Chen Zong didn't panic in the slightest, but asked lightly.

"This is the array disk, the formation inspired by the array disk, called the Prison Dragon Array, as the name suggests, even a real dragon will be imprisoned. Yuan Zhao changed his previous kind appearance, the corners of his mouth hung a touch of coldness, and his eyes became sharp.

At the same time, the young man and woman appeared next to Yuan Zhao at the same time, staring coldly at Chen Zong in the Dragon Prison Array, constantly looking, and a sneer also appeared on his face.

"Hand it over. Yuan Zhao's voice was low and fluttering, with a bit of greed: "Hand over that bit of cold essence, hand over all your wealth, and I will spare your life, otherwise it will ......."

Needless to say, Chen Zong also knew what it meant, it was nothing more than asking for his own life.

"The essence of the cold and the underworld is here, you have also seen it, and besides, there are many Earth Yuan Pills in my Na Ring. A smile appeared on Chen Zong's face, and he said without hesitation, staring at Yuan Zhao through the light of the Imprisoned Dragon Array: "If you want, take it yourself." ”

Yuan Zhao was very vigilant, he could vaguely see that Chen Zong was a half-saint, not a saint realm, so he dared to do this, but the strength of the other party was not clear, so no matter how vigilant he was, he couldn't be too vigilant.

"Boy, don't be lucky, under the dragon prison formation, even if you enter the holy realm, you can't get out. The young man spoke for the first time, his voice as sharp as a knife.
