Chapter 46: Chapter 38: Qingyang City, Another Divine Artifact Acquired

Zhu Qingyu and the others have dealt with Exotic Beasts quite a bit.

So they immediately understood the significance of this roar.

Obviously, it was out of anger, wanting to release it.

Moreover.

Previously, these two Single-Horned Giant Wolves frequently charged into towns, causing great destruction.

Now that one of them has been killed, the other, stronger one, will certainly not let it go and will be fiercer than before.

Besides, this time is different from the past.

Blue Giant Wolf King.

It intends to summon a beast tide, likely with the goal of destroying the city.

“The nearest populated place seems to be Qingyang City, where there are hundreds of thousands of people. The Giant Wolf King summoning a beast tide is definitely heading towards Qingyang City,” Senior Wu spoke, judging the place likely to be affected by the disaster.

Previous towns have already been almost destroyed, and this Beast King is certainly not interested in them.

And to vent its anger, it will definitely head to a place with more people.

No way around it, Exotic Beasts regard humans as their arch-enemies.

As long as they have anger in their hearts.

They almost always target towns.

Qingyang City still has hundreds of thousands of residents, it’s considered a major city in the vicinity.

“Qingyu, what should we do?” Qin Lan was also anxious, originally pursuing the Wolf King’s trail.

They hadn’t thought they’d encounter this situation, and with their abilities, they couldn’t solve it.

“Leave immediately and then contact Teacher Zhao.”

Zhu Qingyu remained relatively calm, continuing, “It takes some time for it to summon a beast tide. By then, we can find a way to evacuate the people and wait for the teachers to arrive.”

That Blue Giant Wolf King is comparable to the ninth rank of the Initial Realm, it’s the most powerful Exotic Beast in this region.

Once it moves, the destructive power will be astonishing, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Currently, they have no way to deal with it.

They can only wait for the teachers to come and try to minimize some of the losses.

“Okay.”

The others nodded.

This was the wisest choice.

Zhen Dan Academy has some teachers not far from Qingyang City.

If they notify them now, they can certainly arrive within a few hours.

And although they, being the Awakened, weren’t strong, they could do something.

Immediately, the group didn’t hesitate any longer.

Once they quietly left this area, they headed towards Qingyang City.

However, on the way out, Zhu Qingyu kept pondering a question.

Who killed that red Single-Horned Giant Wolf, after all, it was the king in this area, and judging by the scene, it didn’t look like it died in a fight with Exotic Beasts, more like… it was slain by someone.

Yet she hadn’t heard of any powerful Awakened appearing nearby recently.

Even if there were.

They should be heading straight to Chang’an, waiting for the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum to fully open.

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Zhu Qingyu’s mind.

It was the person she had met not long ago, and it seemed that only this person had the time.

No way.

But soon, Zhu Qingyu shook her head.

That person didn’t seem strong, unable to even handle first or second tier Exotic Beasts, how could they possibly take on the Giant Wolf King?

She must be overthinking it, the most important thing now is to get to Qingyang City.

To spread the word about the impending beast tide.

And as Zhu Qingyu and the others were rushing with all their might.

On the other side.

High on a cliff.

Lu Yuan stood in the dusk, looking into the distance.

There lies a small city, mostly with buildings of a few dozen stories.

Only in the central area are there taller buildings, as night falls, the lights come on, making it clear that there are quite a few residents there.

Qingyang City, is it?

Looking at the small city in the distance, Lu Yuan murmured to himself.

The five super cities are still under construction, and few have moved there.

Even knowing the dangers everywhere, possible attacks, there’s no choice, for ordinary people, surviving is decent already, leaving the city they’ve lived in for generations is hard to adapt to, even with official subsidies.

So currently, in most cities in the country, the population hasn’t changed much.

And this is what led to massive casualties later.

Without thinking further.

Lu Yuan took a step forward.

Jumping directly off this hundred-meter-high cliff.

He wasn’t here to find a city with people to take a break.

After all, for Lu Yuan now, he can survive anywhere, with little danger.

He chose to enter Qingyang City because, according to his memories, there were some nice Exotic Grass here.

If obtained, it would help his cultivation and evolution.

After entering the city.

Lu Yuan kept a low profile, avoiding any contact with people.

“According to past life information, those Exotic Grass should grow in the eastern part of the city, still undiscovered yet but soon will be, I have to hurry up,” he thought while moving forward.

But Lu Yuan didn’t take the usual path, instead, with his current physique, he jumped between rooftops in the city.

In the early days of mutation, Awakened were few, and if there were, they’d appear in big cities.

Therefore, his movements went unnoticed.

However.

The area where the Exotic Grass grows is quite large.

Without a specific location, it’d take a lot of time.

Of course, this was different for Lu Yuan.

First, he had previous life memories.

Additionally, he had a special method.

So, upon reaching a roughly targeted area, he stopped and took out the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace.

After tapping it, the furnace instantly enlarged, about as tall as a person.

Then, Lu Yuan took out the ancient scroll left by Immortal Ge.

Glancing at it slightly.

He then pinched some special spells, somewhat similar to Alchemy but completely different.

The power within him also stirred at this time, starting to blend into the furnace.

Buzz~

“`

After completing this series of actions.

The Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace began to gently vibrate, slowly moving towards a certain direction.

“Got it.” Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up at this sight, following closely behind.

This was another function of the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace.

It could sense the approximate location of certain Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs within a limited distance.

In other words, it was an automatic treasure hunter.

But it was limited to naturally occurring items, and sometimes not very accurate, with a very limited range, so it was only useful under certain circumstances.

Just like now, after activating the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace, Lu Yuan missed his target over ten times in a row.

It wasn’t until more than half an hour later.

He found a small purple grass in a corner.

The small grass had three leaves, looking crystal clear, emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

However, the light was too dim, and without careful observation, it could hardly be seen.

“The first plant, two more to go.”

Seeing this.

Lu Yuan smiled.

In Qingyang City, there were three such exotic grasses, known as the Three-leaf Purple Rhyme.

In his previous life, after adapting to the global changes.

He searched for various ways.

The goal was to gain Extraordinary Power.

He spent a lot of time getting to know some Divine Artifacts.

Because of this, Lu Yuan learned many things unknown to ordinary people.

After rebirth, he could formulate the most suitable plan according to his own situation.

He could accurately recognize the Three-leaf Purple Rhyme and knew its effects.

When consumed by ordinary people, it could greatly enhance physical constitution, and if consumed in sufficient quantities, it could lead to an evolutionary path.

Indeed, even some Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs.

– aren’t immediately transformative upon consumption into an Awakened.

Some have effects not very evident due to their extremely diluted power.

After all.

Divine Artifacts like the Ancient Bodhi Tree.

Even in the altered new era, they are unique and unmatched.

After taking it away, he spent another hour locating the remaining two exotic grasses.

However.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave.

He noticed that the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace was still vibrating up and down.

And a faint radiance began to radiate around it, as if it had sensed something.

“Could it be… is there an even more powerful Spirit Fruit or Exotic Herb here?” Seeing this, Lu Yuan’s interest was piqued.

Initially thinking that it was enough, he didn’t expect an unexpected find.

Without further ado.

He continued searching this area.

But most were very ordinary, with nothing special about them.

Until, after closer observation for another ten minutes, he noticed a faint golden light flashing not far away.

Lu Yuan immediately moved closer.

In the next moment.

An expression of surprise appeared in his eyes.

It was another small grass, whose shape and size were similar to the previous Three-leaf Purple Rhyme.

But unlike before, this grass was entirely golden, with nine leaves, each nearly transparent, looking extraordinary.

“Nine-leaf Golden Rhyme?”

Lu Yuan immediately identified it.

Understanding that this wasn’t an ordinary exotic grass, it was extremely rare.

It belonged to the same species as the Three-leaf Purple Rhyme, but the effect was worlds apart. It’s said that among ten thousand Three-leaf Purple Rhymes, only one such Nine-leaf Golden Rhyme would accompany it, containing incredibly heavy energy.

It could almost be called a Divine Artifact.

When consumed by ordinary people, it could instantly turn them into Awakened.

And it could cleanse the body, completely purifying the bloodline, enhancing talent!

“Not bad, not bad, this encounter wasn’t in vain.”

Lu Yuan chuckled and plucked it right away.

The energy contained within the Nine-leaf Golden Rhyme was immense, and consuming it would undoubtedly break through multiple Genetic Shackles.

But he didn’t plan to consume it directly now because this item would serve a greater purpose in the near future.

So, Lu Yuan placed it inside the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace for preservation.

This Immortal Elder’s item was immensely useful.

It could automatically search for treasures, automatically perform Alchemy, and serve as storage.

In his previous life, he had no method to utilize it and wasted a rare artifact.

Shaking his head.

Lu Yuan said no more, leaving the place.

He then found a rather hidden corner in the city, directly sitting down cross-legged.

Integrating Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs.

Requires full concentration.

Otherwise, if disturbed, the effect would be greatly reduced.

Once prepared, Lu Yuan had no hesitation.

And swallowed the three exotic grasses directly.

Originally, refining them into a pill using the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace might yield a better effect.

However, he did not do so for one simple reason, that is, Three-leaf Purple Rhyme is not extremely precious.

So whether it’s refined into a pill makes little difference.

Of course.

No one would dare like Lu Yuan to directly swallow three plants at once.

For the energy contained within is violent.

A typical Awakened can hardly bear it.

One mistake could greatly burden the body, and in severe cases, even influence the future evolutionary path.

But Lu Yuan was different, his physique too strong, his internal organs integrated with the Level Eleven Bhikkhu.

He could be described as indestructible.

Just a few exotic grasses’ contained power—unproblematic.

“This force is good—fully refining it could break the fourth Genetic Shackle.”

Sensing the energy emanating from the exotic grasses inside him, Lu Yuan’s eyes filled with joy, and then he closed them, focusing on refining.
