The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 161 "Shu Land, Fusang Sacred Tree!

After taking a short break, Zhang Liang recovered from his fatigue, then looked at Bei Mingzi and said, "Old man, aren't you going to deal with the spirit beast that chased you everywhere, anywhere in the sky or on the ground? How far away are we from it now?"

Bei Mingzi snorted coldly and replied with a proud face: "Humph, my cultivation was not enough back then. It's still uncertain who will chase whom now!"

However, judging from his expression, Zhang Liang clearly realized that he was still wary of the spirit beast.

"Just tell me straight away, how far is it?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile.

"About a hundred miles south of here, we will probably be within the beast's sphere of influence." Bei Mingzi said bluntly.

"One hundred miles to the south is the deep heart of the Baiyue area." Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Zhang Liang and Bei Mingzi have already entered the core area of ​​Baiyue. If Zhang Liang were alone, he would be more cautious, because this place could be in danger at any time, with poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts appearing one after another, and could be attacked at any time.

Even with Zhang Liang's level of cultivation, it is very dangerous to act alone in this place. A hundred miles further south, it is even more dangerous. With Zhang Liang's current strength, he might even die here, because there is a high possibility that there is more than one third-grade spirit beast with strength equivalent to that of a land immortal lurking in that place.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Liang said, "Fifty miles northwest of here is the destination of my trip. I have to go there to improve my cultivation. Let's go to my destination first."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to see that place you mentioned that you can't forget." Bei Mingzi responded with a smile.

"I may disappoint you. The place I chose for cultivation may not be a treasure land, and I don't know if it is still suitable for me to cultivate now. However, there is a place that I am sure can be used to improve my strength. But old man, I am afraid you don't have the ability to protect me and let me cultivate there." Zhang Liang smiled teasingly.

"Where?" Bei Mingzi asked curiously.

"Shu, the sacred Fusang tree!" Zhang Liang winked and smiled, "The sacred Fusang tree can definitely improve my Lihuo Golden Pupil to a higher level. Unfortunately, there is a master in Shu, so it is not easy to practice with the sacred Fusang tree!"

"Boy, I can deal with the old guy in Shuzhong, but if you take the sacred Fusang tree, they will definitely fight you to the death!" Bei Mingzi said helplessly.

The Fusang sacred tree is too huge, and it is almost impossible to take it away; if one wants to use the Fusang sacred tree to practice, one must do it on the spot. Once the Fusang sacred tree is damaged, the people of the entire Shu land will fight back without hesitation.

Bei Mingzi was unwilling to create deep hatred with the entire Shu area just to help Zhang Liang practice, which would cause innocent lives to be implicated.

"Don't think about coveting the Fusang sacred tree. To Shu, that thing is more precious than life. In Shu, there are not only masters at the level of land immortals, but also many mysterious secret arts. The overall strength is almost the same as our Tianzong." Bei Mingzi reminded solemnly.

"Don't worry, old Taoist. I know what I'm doing and won't act rashly!" Zhang Liang smiled.

According to the timeline, Lü Buwei would soon go to Shu and eventually die there. Afterwards, Ying Zheng would use this incident as an excuse to formally incorporate Shu into the territory of Qin. It is very likely that the Fusang sacred tree was taken away by Qin at that time.

Although Shu was nominally under the rule of Qin, it still maintained a certain degree of independence, and the sacred Fusang tree still stood on the land of Shu. If Qin wanted to realize its ambition to annex the world, it had to first solve the troubles in Shu.

For Zhang Liang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but if he wants to use the Fusang sacred tree to practice, he must first improve his Lihuo Golden Pupil to a higher level.

The Fire Rain Agate in the land of Baiyue is the perfect place for Zhang Liang to practice the Lihuo Golden Pupil.

It has been a while since the Lihuo Golden Pupil was cultivated. Although it has achieved remarkable feats many times, the progress is actually very slow. Without sufficient fire-attributed spiritual energy, it is very difficult to upgrade the Lihuo Golden Pupil.

After a good rest, Zhang Liang and Bei Mingzi went to the ruins of the Huoyu Villa.

Originally, he wanted to ask Nanyue's father Li Kai to lead the way, but after regaining Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui, Zhang Liang asked them to draw a map of the Baiyue land, and now there is no need for a special guide.

After several hours of trekking, the two walked a total of fifty miles and collected a lot of precious medicinal herbs along the way.

"This is the place you are looking for. It is really extraordinary. The fire spirit here is very strong!" Bei Mingzi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the land.

"That's right!" Zhang Liang smiled and nodded. Feeling the abundant fire spirit here, he became more confident. It turned out that Fire Rain Villa had not mined all the Fire Rain Agate back then, otherwise the fire spirit here would never be so abundant.

"However, it seems that we still have to deal with some minor troubles first." Zhang Liang said.

"I didn't expect that in this land of Baiyue, there would be people from the Central Plains living here!" Bei Mingzi also said with a smile.

Not far away is the place where Lord Huoyu dug the Fire Rain Agate in the past, but now there is an army stationed here. Although they are not wearing military uniforms or armor, their unique military temperament is unquestionable.

Zhang Liang carefully observed their number and found that there were exactly about five hundred people, no more and no less.

"These people speak with a Chu accent, they should be the Chu army." Bei Mingzi suddenly said.

"When we attacked Baiyue, Han and Chu acted jointly. It makes sense that the Chu army would appear here. I just don't know what they are doing. I hope they don't cause us any trouble." Zhang Liang pondered.
