Chapter 321 What the giant black python is guarding must be something good.
The entire underground area began to shake.
Zhong Lingxin shouted again, "Stop!"
With Zhong Lingxin shouting "Collect!" several times, the Immortal Stone Mine was finally barely moved into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
The entire mountain began to shake and collapse.
Zhong Lingxin affixed a Vajra talisman to herself and charged upwards against the collapsed mountain peak.
Huge boulders crashed down on her, causing her to groan several times, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.
She dared not linger, and charged upwards with all her might.
When the light appeared before her, she tore up a teleportation talisman without thinking and ran away.
Perhaps she has a special connection with the river.
In that instant, she moved into a large river.
Having experience falling into the river and sinking to the bottom, Zhong Lingxin conjured two flippers and quickly swam to the bottom of the river.
While swimming, they also released the Nine-Story Pagoda, taking in all the river water, fish, shrimp, and crabs from the river.
Her nine-story pagoda is missing a celestial river.
Just as she was pouring water into the Nine-Story Pagoda, she saw a red light flashing in front of her.
She hurriedly slipped into the nine-story pagoda and quietly sank to the bottom of the river.
A giant python was seen quietly swimming over from not far away.
The giant python clearly sensed something amiss, but upon approaching, it saw nothing.
It sensed something was wrong, and its huge body churned violently at the bottom of the river, creating towering, turbid waves.
The python stirred the river several times, but it still couldn't see anything at the bottom.
It was still uneasy, so it stayed quietly at the bottom of the river, watching its surroundings warily.
Ahead lies the Red Jade Tree, which it has guarded for a hundred years; it is its hope for advancing to the fifth rank, and it must not be lost.
It knew that every hundred years, immortals would come and steal their resources.
It also eats several immortals every time this happens.
But not this year. It has to protect its red jade tree and has no choice but to let the immortals go.
Zhong Lingxin recognized the giant black python as soon as it swam over.
She has landed at the Blackwater River, the boundary between the middle and inner perimeters.
She was originally at the boundary between the inner and outer perimeters, but now she's been moved to the inner perimeter, which has spread quite far.
Legend has it that the Great Black Python is a peak fourth-tier celestial beast.
She carefully assessed the situation. She had just reached the Celestial Immortal stage, which meant she was one major stage and two minor stages lower than the Black Python. Moreover, they were currently underwater, making it the Black Python's home turf.
Forget it, I'll just stay hidden and find a chance to slip away.
The giant black python churned the riverbed into a murky mess, and Zhong Lingxin, hiding in the Nine-Story Pagoda, could see nothing. She could only drift along with the ebb and flow of the river.
After a long time, the giant black python finally stopped churning the river.
Zhong Lingxin could barely see a glimmer of light at the bottom of the river.
She followed the gaze of the large black python.
Wow, the red light ahead is flashing even brighter now.
Moreover, the black python's eyes became noticeably excited, and drool from its mouth mingled with the river water and floated down.
That flashing red light must be something good!
Unfortunately, she can't see it now.
She dared not move, for fear that any movement would startle the giant black python.
She calmed herself down and decided to wait for the giant black python to make a move, then follow it, capture the flashing red light into the Nine-Story Pagoda, and then teleport away.
It was quiet all around; there wasn't even a fish swimming in it.
Apart from the water flowing slowly, the entire river was completely still.
Finally, the red light flashed even more intensely.
The large black python raised its head and looked around, then rolled around in the river several times, raising the turbid waves high into the sky.
It was still not satisfied and wanted to conduct another reconnaissance mission.
Unbeknownst to it, Zhong Lingxin took advantage of the turbulent waves to control the Nine-Story Pagoda, causing it to rise from the riverbed and swim dozens of feet towards the direction of the red light. It landed in a groove in a rock.
This time, she could see the red light ahead clearly.
That was a red jade tree, a fifth-tier immortal plant that was about to grow into a red jade tree.
Red Jade Tree, a great material for body tempering.
Zhong Lingxin was worried about the materials needed for body tempering.
Ever since she ascended to the Immortal Realm, she has used the Immortal Cleansing Water to temper her body once in the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
Later, he never managed to collect all the elixirs for body tempering.
Her "skyrocket" (a euphemism for a sexual act) hasn't been performed for a long time due to her physical condition.
Now, she has a magic stone mine with plenty of magic stones to collect materials for body tempering.
Now that we have the main material for fifth-order body tempering, tempering the immortal body to the fifth order is no problem.
Seeing that there was no movement around, the large black python felt a little relieved and swam several dozen feet toward the direction of the red light.
Its python head landed right next to the nine-story pagoda.
As soon as Zhong Lingxin turned her head, she could see the large black python's excited eyes and its constantly flicking tongue.
Perhaps it's because we're too close.
Zhong Lingxin felt that the black python's eyes were huge and ferocious, and its tongue was bigger than her whole body.
The large black python swam forward for about ten feet, then retreated and looked around.
At this point, it dared not go any further.
The reason is that when the Red Jade Tree is about to grow to maturity, the shimmering red light is like needles of light, and if you get too close, it will hurt you.
Zhong Lingxin also knew that the red light of the Red Jade Tree was harmful, which is why she controlled the Nine-Story Pagoda to fall here.
As the red light flashed again, the red jade tree was completely red.
Soon, soon.
It will be fully grown when the leaves of the red jade tree also turn red.
The large black python began to curl up.
As soon as the Red Jade Tree grows up, it leaps out quickly and swallows the Red Jade Tree whole.
Just then, a commotion arose on the river.
It turned out that the immortals who entered the secret realm saw that half the sky was illuminated by red light, and they knew that there was a treasure in the river, so they rushed over.
Several immortals, relying on their celestial treasures for protection, flew directly into the river and dived to the bottom.
The giant black python was furious.
It wasn't even thinking about eating the immortals anymore, yet the immortals still wanted to steal its Red Jade Tree!
With a tumble, turbid waves surged into the sky once more.
The immortal swimming in the river immediately flew up and shouted, "Big Black Python, Big Black Python is guarding here."
"No wonder the river was so quiet. I was wondering if the big black python was dead."
"Don't even think about it. How could the big black python possibly die? It's the tyrant of this Blackwater River."
What is that red light?
"I don't know, but what the big black python is guarding must be something good."
“I know. I’ve read the records left by our predecessors. There are red jade trees growing in this Blackwater River, which are excellent materials for tempering the body.”
"The Red Jade Tree, I've heard my ancestor say that although it's only at the fifth rank, it's extremely rare and hard to come by. Last time, my ancestor went to the auction but couldn't get one; it was bought by a Celestial King."
"You're talking about the auction in Linchuan City, right? I've heard about it too."
"What do we do now? We have to snatch the Red Jade Tree back. If the giant black python gets it, then the immortals who enter the secret realm will have no chance of survival."
"Yes, we have to take back the Red Jade Tree. That damned black python, relying on the Blackwater River as its home, tries to eat several of our immortals every time."
"Is the giant black python also going to use the red jade tree to refine its body?"
