Wei Rong's safety map was indeed very useful. The five of them went thousands of miles deep into Fanshan along the safety secret path, and they did not encounter any major danger.

That is, some low-level beasts, poisonous insects, and poisonous pythons were either easily killed by Deng Jiu and Wei Rong, or retreated from the five people.

"The retainer of the Wei family was born as a Feng Shui master, so he understood the geography of mountains and rivers, and the way to store wind and gather energy. This is how he came out of Fanshan safely and drew a safety map."

"However, the retainer only went into Fanshan for thousands of miles and did not dare to go deeper. Fanshan is so big that his safety map only drew a very small part of the area."

Wei Rong explained to Jiang Yao patiently.

Jiang Yao on Deng Jiu's back heard the Feng Shui master and couldn't help asking: "Mom, is Feng Shui easy to learn?" He didn't expect that there was Feng Shui in this world. I don't know what the status of Feng Shui is in the real world.

Wei Rong smiled and said, "I don't know whether Feng Shui is easy to learn. I only know that there are very few martial artists who practice Feng Shui. Feng Shui is not a popular subject and is not very useful. Moreover, the inheritance of Feng Shui is also incomplete and there is not much left."

"Feng Shui is far less useful than the Dao of Alchemy, Dao of Instruments, Dao of Talismans, and Dao of Formations. Why learn it? Even the popular subjects of Dao of Alchemy and Dao of Instruments do not need to be learned, and not many people are willing to learn them."

"Why is that? Aren't they popular subjects?" Jiang Yao found it difficult to understand. He had read fairy tales before, and the protagonists were proficient in everything, and everyone wanted to learn how to make alchemy and instruments.

Deng Jiu interrupted and explained while carrying Jiang Yao on his back:

"No matter how good a martial artist's aptitude is or how high his comprehension is, his energy and resources are always limited. After learning these famous schools, his martial arts practice will inevitably be affected. And martial arts is the most important and fundamental. Few people are willing to exchange their personal cultivation for the way of alchemy and the way of weapons."

"Besides, practicing the famous schools such as the way of alchemy and the way of weapons requires corresponding aptitude and talent. And those who have corresponding aptitude and talent often have very average martial arts aptitude and their martial arts practice is not too high. That's why they choose the famous schools such as the way of alchemy as a way out."

"But in fact, although the status of alchemists and weapon masters is not low, their cultivation is not high. They often become vassals and are used by others. They are not from the right path. If you really want to have a great future, you still have to rely on martial arts. Only with high martial arts cultivation can you gain power."

"There are so many alchemists and weapon masters in Shenzhou. How many of them can be independent? Most of them are just guest officials and retainers. They look noble, but they have neither real power nor much freedom."

Jiang Yao understood. According to this statement, the so-called famous learning should still be subordinate to martial arts, and those who study famous learning are almost all "workers".

Without personal force protection, no matter how high your skills are, you can't escape the fate of being used by others.

They traveled in the mountains and forests for two days without any danger, never deviating from the route, and finally arrived at the final destination: Qingwu Valley.

This place is already deep in Fanshan, but it is still too far from the deepest part. To be sure, it is still in the outer area. But for most martial artists, thousands of miles deep is already deep in the mountains. If there were no safe secret path, the five people would not have the opportunity to go so deep, but would have been killed by various dangers in the mountains long ago.

Qingwu Valley, as the name suggests, is a valley filled with green mist. It looks very strange and seems to be full of endless dangers. But in fact, it is indeed a very safe place.

There are no ferocious beasts, no poisonous insects, no so-called demons and monsters, and natural killing arrays.

I don't know what the reason is.

Jiang Yao was carried by Deng Jiu into the Green Mist Valley, and then he realized that there were no trees in the valley, only a piece of tree roots. It seemed that a long time ago, there was a forest here, and the forest was gone, leaving only the roots.

Deng Jiu put Jiang Yao down and said nervously: "Mom, this Green Mist Valley is so strange, are you sure there is no danger?"

Wei Rong nodded: "According to the secret map, this place is very safe, but you can't stay for a long time. If you stay for more than half a year, it will hinder your Tao heart."

In other words, it is safe within half a year. Even if it exceeds half a year, there is no worry about your life.

Mei Mei said: "This place is so strange, these green mists are actually wood energy, which is conducive to practicing wood attribute exercises. Unfortunately, we are not wood cultivators."

The so-called wood cultivator is a kind of five-element martial arts. They have special qualifications and only one pure spiritual root, so they practice a single attribute of the exercise. Five-element martial arts can practice powerful attribute exercises, and their strength is often very strong, but because they can only practice one attribute of the exercise, their weaknesses and shortcomings are also obvious.

Wood energy is a good thing for wood cultivators, but for most martial artists, it is just the ordinary energy of heaven and earth.

Wei Rong shook his head, "It's not just wood energy, there is also a mysterious vitality. But, with such strong vitality and wood energy, why are there no trees in the valley?"

Qiao Cai said, "Mother, these green mists seem to be more than just wood energy and vitality, they can actually block spiritual consciousness."

Wei Rong frowned, "That retainer also said that this green mist can block spiritual consciousness. Not only spiritual consciousness, but also the five senses will be affected. Beyond ten feet, spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate, and even hearing will be restricted. I don't know what's strange. However, there is indeed no danger."

Jiang Yao looked at the green mist in front of him, and he couldn't see anyone beyond two feet. He didn't know how big this valley was, but it must be big, probably more than ten miles.

Jiang Yao stomped his feet and found a tree root on the ground. He couldn't help but squat down curiously and took a closer look.

This inspection immediately surprised him.

It turned out that all the tree roots on the ground were connected together.

Jiang Yao moved his body and looked for a while, and said dryly: "Dad, Mom, there used to be a big tree here."

What?

Deng Jiu and others only noticed the tree roots under their feet, and soon they all showed surprise.

It's really a big tree!

This large piece of tree roots left on the ground turned out to be a tree root!

Several people walked for several miles and were still in the range of tree roots.

"That's right, it's indeed the root of a tree." Deng Jiu pondered, "What kind of tree is it that is so huge? Why is there no record of it in ancient books?"

Wei Rong also fell into thought, "The ancient trees recorded in ancient books don't seem to be this big. Is this really a tree?"

Several people were a little unbelievable.

Yes, what kind of tree can be so thick? The giant trees recorded in ancient books are only a few dozen feet in diameter. But if this is really a tree, it must be more than a mile thick.

Jiang Yao was originally an "archaeology expert" and he developed a scholar's interest in this huge ancient tree root. So, the boy actually lay down and carefully observed the texture of the tree root, trying in vain to see something. His whole body was covered with a tree root, which was a low-lying area. It seemed to be the former center of the tree in the vertical direction.

However, not long after Jiang Yao lay down, he felt a slight heat in his waist.

Hmm?

Jiang Yao couldn't help but touch his waist, but he touched something familiar.

It was the small Pisces jade pendant.

It's hot!

What's going on? Jiang Yao was surprised. Before he had time to think about it, he suddenly found that the jade pendant was gone.

This... flew?

While Jiang Yao was astonished, he suddenly felt that there was an extra thing in the sea of ​​consciousness of one of the nine spiritual caves, which was the small Pisces jade pendant.

Although Jiang Yao had not yet opened up the mysterious veins and entered the warrior realm, because he had practiced the four kinds of mental methods like a death, the nine spiritual caves were different from others, and he could clearly perceive the situation in the nine spiritual caves.

How could the Pisces jade pendant enter the spiritual cave of the sea of ​​consciousness? Could it be related to this dead ancient tree?

Even though Jiang Yao is an old man, he was still uneasy when he encountered this matter, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.

His first reaction was to tell his parents. But thinking of the origin of the Pisces jade pendant, the unexpected consequences that this thing might cause, and the uneasiness that Mei Mei brought to him, he still hesitated.

It is better to keep it secret for the time being.

If there is really a problem, it will not be too late to tell his parents.

Feeling that the Pisces jade pendant stayed quietly in the empty sea of ​​consciousness and did not "make trouble", Jiang Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this weird process, Jiang Yao, who was in a state of turmoil in his heart, looked calm on his face.

"Yao'er, why are you lying on the ground? Get up quickly." Wei Rong pulled Jiang Yao up and patted the dirt on the boy's body.

Deng Jiu didn't notice what happened to Jiang Yao at all. He said directly: "There is no time to lose. We can't stay in Qingwu Valley for long. Let's help Yao'er open the nine mysterious veins and let Yao'er enter the warrior realm."

"That's more reasonable." Wei Rong smiled, "Hurry up and let my son become a martial artist. He won't need you, as a father, to carry him around."
