New Chapter: The World Is So Vast
"Be careful, don't let the other families take advantage of the situation," said the burly man with slightly dark skin. This time, the Good Fortune Garden was being managed by their group, so naturally they would take the lion's share.
The purple-haired woman spoke up, "Actually, to avoid hurting our feelings, I suggest that we divide up the areas in advance, each keeping to our own interests and taking what we need."
She felt that it was better to arrange things in advance to avoid conflicts and bloodshed among the families after the event started.
The black-haired young man nodded. "That makes sense. I want that Star River Flower. I've been researching the Myriad Stars Array recently and trying to inscribe it on my right hand. I need this kind of rare item."
He agreed and stated what he needed.
"Your appetite is too big. Everyone knows that the Star River Flower is a rare flower. You want an entire flowerbed?" the burly man with slightly dark skin said disapprovingly.
The black-haired youth said, "We can discuss it. Let's first state what each of us needs, and then try to exchange and allocate resources to compensate the others."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Let me state my demands. What I desire most is that Void Golden Lotus." The purple-haired woman smiled, the black markings on her fair forehead glowing, making her look extremely alluring.
In the garden, Wang Xuan, through the Dao Control Banner, vaguely heard the discussion of several people in the giant palace in the void, and he was truly moved. Putting aside the Star River Flower, which he didn't know how precious it was, the Void Golden Lotus alone was absolutely priceless.
Back then, when he and Wu Tian raided the True Saint's Backyard, they only obtained a Void Golden Lotus, which was one of the main ingredients for brewing "Imperial Dao Medicinal Wine".
He looked serious; this place was no ordinary place!
He silently pondered that it was fortunate that he hadn't attacked the Silver-haired Man, Wei Bo, earlier because he was wary that this place might be a secluded True Saint Dojo, thus avoiding alerting the enemy.
Wang Xuan took a deep breath and told himself that the world was so big and the garden was so vast, he wanted to go and see it!
Inside the magnificent palace, the old servants remained silent, letting the young men and women argue and discuss.
The burly man with slightly dark skin spoke up, "Since you've all stated your demands, there's no need for me to hide it. I want that 'Blood Dao Tree'."
"But it's not fully ripe yet. Wouldn't it be a waste to pick it too early?" the fair-skinned, purple-haired woman questioned.
The burly man said, "There are so many mad beasts and ferocious creatures. This time, we have prepared too much. We can let them fight each other. They are all rare and unusual creatures, and they are all very powerful monsters from various places. I think we can use their blood to water the 'Blood Dao Tree' and make it ripen earlier."
The Silver-haired Man, Wei Bo, who had been relatively quiet and deep in thought, nodded in agreement and said, "Mad beasts and monsters are all disposable items. Taking some blood is fine. Even the blood of the fiercest 'beast' that you want me to bring back is no problem. It's just a straw dog."
"Wei Bo, Brother Webb. What do you want?" The burly, dark-skinned man returned the favor by asking about his request.
Wei Bo was dressed in modern clothes, with short, silver hair that was glistening with every strand. His eyes were deep-set but bright and piercing. He said, "I want the Primordial Chaos Divine Mud."
However, as soon as he said that, the expressions on everyone's faces darkened.
The burly man who had just been about to report back to him also had a cold expression and said, "Wei Bo, what are you saying? You want to monopolize a treasure-level artifact? What a joke! Other artifacts, even if rare, can be negotiated and exchanged. But the Primordial Chaos Divine Mud is non-negotiable!"
The black-haired youth said with a stern face, "Who wouldn't yearn for Primordial Chaos Divine Mud? It can be used to refine a Dao Body that can grow, even stronger than a true body. Who would be willing to give it away? If you want it, you'll inevitably have to fight me!"
Wei Bo spoke up, "You've misunderstood. I don't want to keep it all to myself. As you know, I practice the Twin Truth Scripture, which only require a portion of the Primordial Chaos Divine Mud. Therefore, I won't go into a bloody battle to fight for it. Whoever wins, just share some with me."
"You're withdrawing... from competing for this rare item? That's negotiable!"
The world is so big, Wang Xuan couldn't wait. He had heard that there were many species here and wanted to see what they looked like and broaden his horizons.
He quickly put his plan into action and was already on his way.
A great black river flowed silently. He traced its source and came directly to a region of black mountains, where the melting black ice and snow from the mountains converged to form the river.
His target was the Black Gold Orchid Grass on the black mountain. He overheard the people talking about how amazing this orchid was, with the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, and it had wonderful uses for Supernatural Being.
When he saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked. The orchids, with their flowing Dark Light, grew on the black snow mountain, containing a vigorous primal life force.
"It matches up!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
On the Floating Boat Pure Land of the Chaotic Space-time Sea, he obtained six medicinal formulas from the descendants of the fallen true saints. One of them was a medicinal wine that could help people practice the Dao-imperialized.
The second prescription is for Bone Strengthening Chapter, explicitly stating that it can strengthen the Imperial Dao Bone. This prescription includes a picture and description of the plant in front of us, which matches.
"One of the main medicinal ingredients!" Wang Xuan was shocked, and then overjoyed. He never expected to encounter such a rare plant in this place.
Clearly, those people didn't know much about the Black Gold Orchid Grass; its value was far more astonishing than they had mentioned!
The medicinal wine hasn't shown its power yet, so most of it has been stored away. Once it's aged enough, even if he's Super Peerless or even reaches the level of a superhuman, he can use it.
Therefore, he didn't drink much, not wanting to squander his resources too early; good steel should be used where it's needed most.
Now, he has encountered the second prescription, one of the main ingredients for strengthening the Imperial Dao Bone, which excites and excites him.
Even his hostility and Killing Intent towards the silver-haired youth, Wei Bo, lessened a bit. The other party had "captured" him here with a treasure, and he had actually discovered this main medicine, which was incredibly amazing.
"When I settle accounts with you, I won't skin you alive, I'll just beat you to death," he muttered to himself as he climbed the mountain.
The so-called black ice and snow actually contain strange and extraordinary substances, and it is in this environment that Black Gold Orchid Grass can grow.
Wang Xuan acted quickly, harvesting all the mature plants and leaving only some seedlings.
"Help me cover up and don't leave any trace of me. Even if a powerful person tries to track me down, they won't be able to find out," Wang Xuan communicated with the Dao Control Banner.
"You still want to settle this peacefully?" Dao Control Banner in surprise. As the number one weapon of destruction in the Mother Universe, it didn't have a very good temper.
"Peace is the most important thing in all things. Let's try not to alert them. I'm worried that these families are involved with the True Saint from beyond this world. If we stir things up here, who knows what kind of Supreme Being we might provoke? It's completely unpredictable," Wang Xuan sighed.
Ultimately, it's because he's not strong enough and needs to restrain himself.
He felt that it was best to keep quiet and make a fortune at this point, rather than causing trouble and making a big fuss.
As for the scores that need to be settled, we'll find an opportunity to deal with them later.
"Moon Valley, this place is truly beautiful," Wang Xuan exclaimed. They then moved to another spot. The entire valley was serene, with rising mist and haze that resembled a gentle, round moon rising in the circular valley.
There was a grove of Moon Tree here, but all the ripe, silvery fruits were gone. He left only some unripe fruits behind, and then left without a second thought.
"The Good Fortune Garden is very large." Wang Xuan estimated that it was at least eight million square kilometers. If it were placed on a planet, it would be a very large land area.
This place is vast, and all sorts of strange things are hidden and growing. He can't just sweep across it all to search for them. He should first follow the areas mentioned by those young men and women and collect some important Rare Strange Item.
He discovered a dazzling flowerbed on a wide, flat area, as if countless stars had fallen from the sky and gathered into a small sea of stars, its fragrance intoxicating.
"Is this the Star River Flower they were talking about? This is a good thing. I'll study how to use it when I get back. It's definitely a rare and precious item." Wang Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and picked all the mature plants.
High in the sky, inside that giant palace, several young men and women were still arguing and discussing, deciding on territory and the ownership of various strange objects.
Wang Xuan heard it through the Dao Control Banner, as if he were there himself.
At this moment, he seemed to be following a map, calmly and steadily picking up the rare items along the way.
"This is... Dragon Bone Vine?!" Upon arriving in a mountain range and seeing what this so-called miraculous vine was, he was excited once again, his blood boiling. This was another main ingredient recorded in the prescription for strengthening the Imperial Dao Bone!
This patch of Dragon Bone Vine covers a considerable area. The vines are winding and give a sense of power. The overall color is pure white, like the bones of an Old Dragon climbing towards the sky.
"Fate is unpredictable. This Karma Thread isn't as bad as I imagined. This fork in the road isn't bad either." Wang Xuan felt relieved, and was even quite satisfied at the moment, quickly collecting the Dragon Bone Vine.
However, with a sudden hum, his joy turned to sorrow as he was engulfed by a white light. He couldn't dodge it; it was fine elsewhere, but his face was exposed and he couldn't block it.
"!" He was in excruciating pain, covered his face with his hands, and instantly ran dozens of miles away. His face was covered with large bumps, quickly swollen, and even turned black.
He was shocked and furious. Even someone as powerful as him couldn't defend against it and didn't have time to activate the killing formation before being stung by a mysterious poisonous bee.
"It actually managed to pierce my face?" He could hardly believe it. He tore off a snow-white venomous bee, about the size of a fingertip, from his face. The stinger at the end of its tail gleamed coldly.
"A strange poisonous insect, Dragon-Eating Bee? It can hide in the void by nature. Am I having the worst luck in eight lifetimes, or am I lucky?" After his indignation, he showed a look of surprise.
This is a strange insect whose strengths are stealth and extreme venom. Moreover, as the mature body continues to molt, its stinger gradually becomes indestructible. A swarm of poisonous bees can devour a dragon; this is not a joke, but something that can really be done.
In an instant, Wang Xuan's body turned black. This extraordinary toxin was terrifying; if the dose was large enough, it could knock down a true dragon.
Wang Xuan's vision went black. He sat on a large blue stone and remained there for a full quarter of an hour before the black aura on his face disappeared.
"This is my luck being compensated for after my bad luck," he muttered to himself. This Dragon-Eating Bee and its hive are also one of the main ingredients in the Bone Strengthening Chapter.
"No wonder the Dragon Bone Vine and the Dragon-Eating Bee Nest are drawn side by side on the prescription. This strange insect makes its home near the Dragon Bone Vine. It's a pity I only found out after I was beaten up." Wang Xuan rubbed his face and walked back. Half an hour later, the huge bump on his face and the terrifying swelling slowly subsided.
Having survived this ordeal, he became much more cautious and was not stung again upon his return, successfully collecting the rare item.
Next, Wang Xuan rushed from one place to another, as if he were attending a series of events, visiting one rare and precious place after another.
Of course, this Good Fortune Garden is too large and has a wide variety of species. It is impossible for him to visit all the places by himself. When collecting some rare items, he needs to be very careful, which takes quite a long time.
In fact, he never intended to steal the light; he just wanted to get all the "favorites" of those young men and women, picking the rarest ones first.
After all, there will be a grand event later, with people from all ethnic groups and religions participating. Some young people will likely be qualified to enter the Good Fortune Garden to seek their fortunes. Let's leave some for those who come later.
The Blood Dao Tree, though a prestigious name, had a pungent, bloody odor that Wang Xuan found unpalatable when he arrived nearby, so he ultimately refrained from taking action.
Finally, he found the location of the treasure, inside a large mountain. If he hadn't overheard the conversation with those people, he probably wouldn't have discovered it.
"This place... is truly extraordinary!" Wang Xuan exclaimed, opening his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to gaze intently.
Inside the mountain, the Five Elements Divine Light flowed, the Yin and Yang energies rose and fell, and time was slightly distorted, making space intermittent and difficult to approach.
All these sights, and extraordinary substances, emanate from a swamp, originating from a formed lump of clay.
"This is the Primordial Chaos Divine Mud? No wonder it has such a name. It possesses the power of the five elements, flows with the Yin and Yang energies, and has the condensation of time factors and the vaporization of spatial power. It has reached the extreme of nine substances and is called Primordial."
In the mud pit, the formed mud is divided into nine colors, and a sacred aura of Supernatural Factor rises from it.
Wang Xuan stared at it and discovered that the lump of mud was actually beginning to take on a human shape, which was quite strange. Why would it look like this after it took shape?
Soon, on some stone walls inside the mountain, he saw the inscriptions left by his predecessors. That person had discovered this place by chance and waited for a long time, but the creation had not matured and the Primordial Chaos Divine Mud had not been conceived, thus missing out on the supreme treasure.
"Such a high evaluation?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.
That man died here, carrying endless regret.
In order to wait for the Primordial Chaos Divine Mud to mature, this person was reluctant to leave. This garden is periodically closed and opened. Once it is closed, those who remain cannot endure it and will be wiped out by the super magic array.
"He was one of the people left behind from the last grand gathering." Wang Xuan looked at the skeleton, dug a hole and buried it, then used the Dao Control Banner to wipe away the writing on the stone wall.
"Hmm, there are more words?" His Spiritual Heavenly Eye discovered that there was another incantation inside the rock wall of the mountain.
In an instant, he was shocked and overjoyed. This Primordial Chaos Divine Mud was truly extraordinary, worthy of being a rare treasure. He felt that this trip was well worth it!
