Therefore, Zhang Lingwu could only refuse to enter the Black Rock Mountains.
"Without Zhang Lingwu, wouldn't there only be four people entering the Black Lava Mountains? There were many ferocious beasts among them. One less person meant one less strength.”Murong Ting frowned and said.
In the depths of the Black Rock Mountains, there were ferocious beasts. The strength of the ferocious beasts was not something that ordinary martial artists could fight against. Even the weakest ferocious beast was stronger than most Pre-Sky Realm martial artists. There were even powerful ferocious beasts that could even fight against Inborn Realm experts!
If ordinary martial artists dared to enter, that was an act of courting death!
"Oh right, didn't you say that Duzhen injured Zhang Lingwu and prevented him from entering the Black Rock Mountains? In that case, he must be stronger than Zhang Lingwu, right? Then why don't you ask him if he's willing to follow our team into the Black Lava Mountains!”Murong Ting's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since Zhang Lingwu was injured by Qin Hao, then Qin Hao must be stronger than Zhang Lingwu. If he was willing to enter the Black Lava Mountains, he could make up for the loss of his combat strength.
"Alright, I'll ask him if he's willing to enter the Black Lava Mountains.”Butler Liu nodded. Indeed, he had witnessed Qin Hao's strength at that time. That terrifying explosive power was simply inhuman!
Steward Liu immediately left the city lord's mansion and took a carriage to Tianyuan Martial Arts Dojo.
"Butler Liu wants to see me?" Qin Hao was practicing his fist technique in the martial arts field when he received the news that Steward Liu wanted to see him. He was surprised. He didn't know why Steward Liu wanted to see him, but he decided to meet him.
In a living room of Tianyuan Martial Arts Dojo, Qin Hao met Butler Liu.
"Master Duzhen, you look even better after not seeing you for a month," Butler Liu said with a smile.”
Qin Hao was not used to such polite words. He asked curiously,"May I know why Butler Liu is looking for This Penniless Monk?”
Hearing this, Butler Liu's expression became serious. He asked,"Do you know about the Black Rock Mountains?"
"Black Rock Mountains? The Black Lava Mountain Range where the ferocious beasts reside?" Qin Hao was a little surprised when he heard that.
There were ferocious beasts and demons in this world. Although they were very far away from ordinary people, the Black Rock Mountains were deep mountains and forests occupied by ferocious beasts. It was extremely dangerous!
Any ferocious beast was a monster with thick skin and flesh that was invulnerable. Most of the Pre-Sky Realm warriors were not enough in front of ferocious beasts. Qin Hao did not know why Steward Liu would find him and ask about the Black Rock Mountains.
Butler Liu also went straight to the point,"To tell you the truth, the City Lord of Fenghua City is getting old, and his health is deteriorating. He wants to obtain a spirit herb that can prolong his life so that he can have a chance to sit in a higher position in the future.”
As soon as he said this, Qin Wu immediately understood.
To be an official in the Great Xia Dynasty and hold a high position, one did not necessarily have to be skilled in martial arts. One could also be promoted with outstanding talent. For example, the City Lord of Fenghua City, Murong Ting, was like this. Although he did not have martial arts, he held a high position.
Murong Ting was getting on in years, and his energy was not as good as before. However, he had not lived long enough, and he also had the idea of taking another step forward. Therefore, he naturally wanted to extend his life. Everyone wanted to live longer!
In this world, there were elixirs that could prolong one's life, but these elixirs were very precious. Usually, they would be bought immediately when they appeared on the market.
Murong Ting thought of sending a group of warriors into the Black Rock Mountains to help him pick the spirit herbs that could prolong his life. The places where the ferocious beasts resided were places where no one could go, and it was very likely that there were natural spirit herbs growing there!
As long as she could extend her lifespan, Murong Ting would have a chance to sit in a higher position!
"Steward Liu wants me to enter the Black Rock Mountain Range and help the City Lord pick heaven and earth spiritual items that can extend his life?”Qin Hao frowned. He understood what Butler Liu meant from his words.
Steward Liu nodded slightly." That's right. Our City Lord has organized a team of experts. There are five peak Houtian experts, and one of them is even on the Terrestrial Rankings. Zhang Lingwu had originally decided to go, but he suffered an incurable injury during the last battle with you. He had no choice but to give up.”
"Zhang Lingwu is seriously injured?" Qin Hao was really a little surprised. When he fought with Zhang Lingwu, he thought that they were on par. He didn't expect Zhang Lingwu to be seriously injured at that time. He just endured it and didn't show weakness. No wonder he agreed to compensate so easily. It turned out that he didn't have the strength to fight with Qin Hao anymore, so he could only admit defeat.
Steward Liu continued," Of course, we didn't let you enter the Black Rock Mountains for nothing. Our City Lord's Estate will provide backup for you. In addition, if anyone can bring back a spiritual item that can prolong the City Lord's life, the City Lord will give you a Xiantian Pill as a reward!”
"Xiantian Pill?"
Hearing that, Qin Wu's face also revealed a shocked expression.
The difficulty of a warrior advancing from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm was that he had to absorb the Xiantian Qi and integrate it into his body. 90% of the peak Houtian realm would be stuck for many years.
As for how to absorb the Connate Qi? He had to first raise his cultivation to the peak of the Postliminary Realm, then slowly find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, slowly sense and cultivate. Only then could he possibly absorb a wisp of Innate Qi from the void that could transform himself. This was also the reason why many warriors at the peak of the Postliminary Realm had to travel around the world in order to find a suitable place to cultivate and absorb Innate Qi!
At the right time, at the right place, one's cultivation base would reach the peak of the Postliminary Realm. One would have to absorb the Innate Qi and meet various conditions to advance to the Innate Realm!
This step usually took a lot of time. For example, the master of Tianyuan Martial Arts School, Wang Tianyuan, was an expert on the Earth Roll. He had left for seven to eight years in order to break through to the Innate Realm. He was most likely still looking for a place with Innate Qi outside.
As for Mount Tian Long and the secluded places of the Dao Sect, they were all places with beautiful mountains and rivers. There was Connate Qi there, but it could not be given to outsiders. After all, if one absorbed a wisp, one would lose a wisp. This was the foundation of the rise and fall of a sect!
As for the Xiantian Dan, it could save a lot of trouble. The Xiantian Dan contained a wisp of Xiantian Qi, which could be directly absorbed by martial artists!
For warriors at the peak of the Postliminary Realm, the temptation of the Xiantian pill was unimaginable.
"Only one Xiantian Dan?" Qin Hao frowned slightly. He noticed what Steward Liu said. Whoever brought back a heaven and earth spiritual item that could extend the City Lord's life would be able to obtain the Xiantian Pill. In other words, only one out of five warriors who entered the Black Rock Mountain Range would be able to obtain the Xiantian Pill.
Butler Liu smiled bitterly." There's no other way. The Xiantian Pellet is a priceless treasure. Even the City Lord has to spend his own merit points to exchange for one from Dynasty's treasury.”
Xiantian pills were something that could not be measured with silver. In fact, no one would sell them at all. As for refining Xiantian pills, it was not something that ordinary people could do. Only the Grand Xia Empire and some of the major sects had the ability to refine them.
Murong Ting, the castellan of Fenghua City, had to spend all the merit points he had earned from governing Fenghua City over the years to exchange for a Xiantian pill. One was already the limit!
