Chapter 8, Golden Blood Ginseng

Golden Blood Ginseng is not considered a top-tier spiritual medicine. However, even in the upper echelons, it is a valuable commodity that is hard to come by. All prominent families require this spiritual medicine to lay a foundation for the future generations of their lineage

In this world, there is never a shortage of geniuses! Geniuses indeed have far more opportunities for success than ordinary people! However, one thing is equally undeniable: the number of geniuses who either perish prematurely or gradually fade into obscurity is always countless times greater than that of successful geniuses

Over a hundred years of golden blood ginseng. Chu Yang felt a surge of excitement in his heart, realizing he had stumbled upon a treasure.

Chu Yang furrowed his brow, his gaze flickering. With a forceful push of his right hand against the stone wall, his entire body silently shifted sideways by seven feet. With a swish, a vividly colored venomous snake just happened to glide past him.

This excavation lasted a full half an hour... Chu Yang's clothes were completely soaked with sweat...

Descendants of large families, many of whom are fed with golden blood ginseng from birth! Taking advantage of the innate energy of the mother not yet dissipated, with the assistance of top masters to help the infant cultivate and unlock the medicinal power, it is possible to create an extraordinary martial arts genius that can shake the world!

He stood there, squinting his eyes in the direction of Gathering Cloud Peak, where the first segment of the Nine Calamities Sword lay quietly buried beneath the ground.

If he had not shifted sideways just now, the venomous snake would have bitten his leg directly with its wide-open mouth

The sound of rustling arose as the seven-colored crowned snake swiftly turned its head and charged towards Chu Yang, its tail striking the stone wall with a loud crack, unexpectedly leaping into the air and lunging at Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's gaze was as sharp as a needle, completely still. He waited until the snake was just one foot away before suddenly darting to the right, leaping upward, his body twisting into a bizarre arc. The Seven-Colored Crowned Snake brushed past him, and in that instant, Chu Yang's two fingers came together like a sword, channeling all his energy into them, and forcefully jabbed at the fleshy crown atop the snake's head.

Chu Yang carefully placed both feet on the sword body, held his breath to maintain agility, and then swiftly drew out another sword. Focusing his energy, he began to meticulously excavate the stone wall in front of him.

The ginseng, both above and below ground, shows no signs of even a slight abrasion on its skin; the roots are intact, as thick as two fingers. When gently squeezed, it feels remarkably like a ripe peach, plump and elastic.

Chu Yang cautiously slid down, and what caught his eye was a concave stone wall where several blood-red leaves were gently swaying in the wind. Below the leaves, a small segment of a blood-red stem was faintly seeping from the stone wall.

If one recklessly practices without obtaining the Nine Calamity Sword Body, it is likely that within a moment, one will perish from the flames burning the heart

Chu Yang truly did not expect that it would be such a wonderful thing

He cautiously looked around to confirm that no one else was present, and then his figure moved, slowly sliding down the steep stone wall. His eyes carefully scanned the surroundings, as if to ensure that, if Shi Qianshan was correct, then the golden-blooded ginseng was indeed growing on this very stone wall

It is indeed the golden blood ginseng

Secondly, Chu Yang's current physical condition has not yet met the requirements for cultivating the Ninefold Heaven Divine Art. Only after becoming a warrior, with all meridians unblocked, gradually invigorated blood and energy, breaking away from the minor circulatory cycle and entering the major circulatory cycle, can one cultivate the Nine Calamities Ninefold Heaven!

The Nine Calamities and Nine Heavens Divine Skill mantra had long been mastered by Chu Yang, to the point where he could recite it backward without any errors, yet he was unable to cultivate it now

The scales of this snake are hard, impervious to swords and blades, and it possesses a unique venom. The usual weak point of snakes, located seven inches from the head, is not a weakness at all on this snake.

A fifty-year period can achieve such effects, and it is also sustainable; I wonder what the effects of a period exceeding one hundred years would be

Chu Yang felt a surge of joy in his heart

All the stones that were excavated were carefully placed by Chu Yang in the uneven areas beside him, ensuring they would not fall. When there was truly no space left, he would slide down the cliff face, trying his best to avoid making any noise to prevent alarming others

For the Seven-Colored Crowned Snake, the golden-blooded ginseng itself holds little value. However, this scent is precisely what it yearns for.

Puff

Ordinary golden blood ginseng is typically colorless and tasteless, with only those aged over one hundred years emitting a faint aroma. This aroma is similar to the fresh scent of herbs and plants. In areas where vegetation is lush, it is hardly detectable.

This is a martial art technique called "Skyward Divine Travel Technique" that he obtained from a martial arts master after killing him in a previous life. Feeling that it was useful, he practiced it.

While digging, a strange sense of morbid pleasure unexpectedly arose in Chu Yang's heart. This feeling surprised him: I have always been honest and straightforward, and I am not someone who indulges in such morbid interests

Joy sparkled in Chu Yang's eyes; there truly was Golden Blood Ginseng here! Moreover, it was over a hundred years old!

A sharp light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. He gazed for a while before finally withdrawing his gaze

He carried two swords on him, one of which belonged to Tan Tan, and he had secretly taken it out this morning... Now that guy should be up as well; I wonder what he will feel when he discovers that his beloved longsword has been used as a hoe

Without taking a break, I adjusted a few red leaves of the golden blood ginseng with my hands, identified the location of the root, and deliberately left a safety distance of three feet before truly beginning the excavation

The wild golden blood ginseng is always guarded by a seven-colored crowned snake that has lived for over a hundred years. Therefore, upon seeing this snake, Chu Yang immediately concluded that the matter of the golden blood ginseng was indeed true

As he moved another three zhang forward, Chu Yang faintly caught a whiff of a subtle fragrance, elegant and distant, reminiscent of snow peak orchids. Although the scent was not overpowering, it instantly invigorated his spirit.

Good stuff! Look at this situation, it has been nearly two hundred years. No wonder that fellow Shi Qianshan advanced so quickly in his previous life... Damn it, turns out he got such a great deal. However, now it belongs to the Chu family, under the old man and the library!" Chu Yang was panting heavily, tilting his mouth, looking up and down, his eyes filled with joy.

It is imperative to obtain it as soon as possible

Moreover, the power attached to each segment of the sword blade is different

At that moment, when Chu Yang was drenched in sweat, he finally excavated a stone cave that could barely accommodate half of his body. He squeezed himself in with difficulty and then let out a sigh of relief

Although this place is relatively remote, it is still advisable to exercise caution in all matters. It is best to avoid unnecessary troubles whenever possible

Now, although this body has never undergone any training, it can still be used with some effort

The Nine Calamities Nine Heavens Divine Skill has one significant characteristic. That is, merely knowing the incantation is of no use; one must obtain the corresponding sword body. The sword body is imbued with a peculiar power, and only after absorbing that power can one cultivate the Nine Calamities Nine Heavens Divine Skill according to the incantation, leading to rapid progress

But at this moment, it is on the smooth cliff face! Such a scent seems rather unusual.

Chu Yang let out a sigh of relief and cautiously moved towards the direction where the seven-colored crowned snake was slithering below. He could have moved faster, but he was afraid of brushing against the golden-blooded mysterious ginseng

At last, a plant, entirely blood-red and faintly glowing, resembling a golden-blooded ginseng with the appearance of blood flowing within, appeared in Chu Yang's hand

If this prodigy can work hard as he grows up, his future achievements will be absolutely unimaginable! A significant portion of all his accomplishments is attributed to this golden blooded Xuanhe - Tu - Shucan from his childhood!

Suddenly, a rustling sound emerged, accompanied by a wave of foul wind.

Its fatal flaw lies in the fleshy crown atop its head

Chu Yang slowly slid down, his entire body pressed against the smooth cliff face, yet he moved with ease, like a large gecko, steadily navigating the sheer, knife-like precipice.

Sliding down half a zhang, he carefully observed the position. Chu Yang extended his hand and silently drew a sword, channeling his energy to swing it in a wide arc before thrusting it down fiercely. Half of the sword's blade was deeply embedded into the stone wall beneath his feet

The reason why the scions of noble families each cultivate at an exceptionally rapid pace, with a plethora of spiritual herbs accumulated, is primarily due to this factor

The ginseng, aged over a hundred years, emits a faint aroma, which possesses a lethal allure for the Seven-Colored Crowned Snake. This scent allows the Seven-Colored Crowned Snake to undergo shedding and advancement without any pain

This snake, adorned with colorful scales all over its body, is as thick as an arm and has a fleshy crest on its head. It is indeed the Seven-Colored Crowned Snake

As the east brightened, the sun suddenly leaped above the horizon. Chu Yang took a deep breath, gathered his energy, and stood quietly for a moment, feeling a warm sensation throughout his body, an indescribable comfort

A soundless, indescribable scream echoed as the seven-colored crowned snake writhed in agony, dark green blood gushing from the crown atop its head, rolling down the stone wall.

I am not a genius, but I will transform myself into a genius greater than any genius! I will make geniuses seem insignificant before me!
