Through the Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye, Long Chen saw a much broader world. The endless grassland seemed so small before it.
"Whoa, I saw him."
Long Chen even caught sight of a frenzied figure speeding at full speed—none other than a fleeing Blood Clan expert in panic.
"I'll catch up to him right now and take him down."
Seeing this scene, Long Chen couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Since he had already determined the general direction, he was about to set off, but suddenly the scene before him vanished.
"What's going on? Where is he? Long
Chen's vision disappeared, and the Amethyst Heavenly Eye returned to its original form. Long Chen gently tapped it:
"Could it be broken?"
"That's the life-bound divine eye of the Tiantong clan. How could it possibly be damaged? But that person didn't have much strength left here. You just glanced at it and drained all your strength.
Now that it has broken free from its master's control and developed self-awareness, it retains some power for its own dormancy. When its power is full, it awakens from its dormant state and can be used again. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
Only then did Long Chen remember that the senior had said he needed his purple blood to nurture it before it could continue to use.
"Let's give it a try."
Long Chen sent the Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye into his soul space and began to circulate the power of purple blood to nurture it. However, the purple blood was always suppressed by the dragon blood, so Long Chen couldn't draw too much of it, or else the purple blood would enter a dormant state.
When the power of purple blood wrapped around the Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye, it trembled slightly and began to actively absorb the power of the purple blood.
However, to Long Chen's comfort, the absorption speed of the Amethyst Heavenly Eye was extremely slow and gentle, not affecting the stability of the purple blood.
Long Chen waited for an hour and then took out the Amethyst Heavenly Eye again. This time, he understood how to activate it. By making eye contact with the pupils inside the Amethyst Heavenly Eye, he could see a much wider space ahead.
"Wow, so the world inside the Amethyst Heavenly Eye is this beautiful."
Previously, Long Chen hadn't looked closely, and the image would disappear. Now, observing the world again, he found that the world he saw with his Amethyst Heavenly Eye was even more vivid, more beautiful, and more colorful than what he saw with his own eyes.
You can even see the rain and dew in the air, quietly nourishing all things, and the runes of laws running between heaven and earth, like colorful petals dancing in the wind, stirring up gentle whirlpools.
Through this Amethyst Heavenly Eye, Long Chen saw countless things he had never seen before. It was as if he had come to know the world anew, and everything he saw seemed so magical.
Most interestingly, Long Chen could control the distance and size of his field of vision through his mind. Just as he was looking back and forth like a curious child, his Amethyst Heavenly Eye suddenly fluctuated, as if he had caught something.
Long Chen hurriedly stopped moving, and immediately the amethyst Heavenly Eye's field of vision rapidly narrowed. In a grassland, Long Chen discovered a clearing.
The clearing wasn't large, only a few hundred li around. The soil was bright red, and at its center grew a tuft of green leaves.
The green leaves are serrated, only three inches tall, with nine leaves clustered together, looking extremely strange.
"This is ... Sword teeth and blood ginseng. When
Long Chen saw that handful of green leaves, he couldn't help but exclaim. Sword-tooth blood ginseng is a key ingredient used to refine Niechong Pills. Through Huayun Trading Company and other channels, Long Chen hadn't heard of its existence.
Rumor has it that this Sabertooth Blood Ginseng is a Chaos Spirit Plant, highly spiritual. It's no longer just a rare medicine—it's a tree demon that can attack and defend. Its strength lies in its burrowing technique—if it tries to escape, almost no one can catch it.
Moreover, this saber-toothed blood ginseng is cunning and suspicious by nature, and as timid as a mouse. At the slightest sense of danger, it immediately flees. Those weaker than it become its prey, while those stronger run away before even getting close.
So, almost no one outside had ever seen the real saber-tooth blood ginseng. Huayun Trading Company was still very powerful, sending Long Chen several drops of saber-tooth blood ginseng essence, which were extracted from its juice.
And this item was actually Huayun Trading Company's stock, and it was an antique that had been stored for who knows how many years. At the time, Long Chen was quite moved, but what he wanted wasn't the essence, but the living saber-toothed blood ginseng.
Not to mention a few drops of essence—even a basin of essence was just a drop in the bucket for Long Chen, far from enough. He had to obtain live saber-toothed blood ginseng and plant them in large patches within the chaotic space.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
At that moment, the Amethyst Heavenly Eye began to tremble, and the scene Long Chen saw started to blur. This was a sign that the Amethyst Heavenly Eye was depleting too much power and was about to enter a dormant state.
Long Chen quickly stopped looking, put away the Amethyst Heavenly Eye, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a good thing, but it just doesn't last long." "
Long Chen placed the Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye into his soul space, continuing to nurture it with purple blood. At the same time, he respectfully bowed three times toward the direction where the Tiantong clan powerhouse had disappeared:
"Senior, rest assured. Your eye will witness me ascend to the pinnacle of the world and restore order in the Nine Heavens."
After saying this, Long Chen dashed toward the direction where he saw the saber-toothed blood ginseng. After running for a while, Long Chen activated his Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye three times in a row. He needed to confirm the direction was absolutely correct and also measure the distance.
Only by doing this could Long Chen adjust his perspective and estimate the approximate distance between the screen and himself. He didn't dare to move too fast, lest he alert the saber-toothed blood ginseng.
After traveling for several more hours, Long Chen stopped, because he could already see the land with the naked eye, but he couldn't see the saber-toothed blood ginseng in the core area.
"Wow, from such a distance, you can see so clearly." Long Chen calculated the distance. At his speed, even if he sped at full speed, it would take him three hours to get here.
When he had been observing earlier, it felt as if he was right under his nose, yet he hadn't expected the distance to be so far.
"You can't get any closer. The Sabertooth Blood Ginseng's perception is extremely strong. If you go any further, it will notice you.
Although it has already grown nine leaves and its cultivation rivals that of a Heavenly Saint, your vital energy is too strong. If it detects you, it will immediately flee. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Comparable to a Heavenly Saint, and yet you were scared off by me?" Long Chen was speechless. This was way too timid.
"I need to seal ninety percent of your cultivation, then you stab yourself a few more times to put yourself in a severely injured state, and then try to lure it." As the Qiankun Cauldron spoke, runes wrapped around Long Chen's body. At that moment, Long Chen suddenly felt a wave of weakness.
"Sealing ninety percent of your cultivation, how many more stabs are you going to take?" Long Chen could hardly believe his ears.
"So do you want to catch it or not?" Qiankun Cauldron said irritably.
"Alright, I'm going all out."
Long Chen gritted his teeth, pulled out a gleaming broken blade, and stabbed it fiercely toward his own thigh.
"That won't do. You need to hit a vital spot, otherwise your aura won't be chaotic at all."The Qiankun Cauldron reminded them.
Gritting his teeth, Long Chen stabbed his own body more than a dozen times. Because he was sealed, his physical strength had decreased, and soon more than a dozen bloody holes appeared on his body.
Once Qiankun was satisfied, he let Long Chen move forward. Long Chen staggered forward, dragging bloodstains as he approached the area. But after just a few steps, Long Chen looked through his Purple Crystal Heavenly Eye and saw that the saber-toothed blood ginseng vanished in an instant.
"Damn it,"
Long Chen was so angry he nearly spat blood—this guy actually ran away after all.
