"Where can I find the magical herbs?"

After hearing this, the tiger thought for a long time.

The Jade Yuanchan once swam along the shallows of the Nituo River to the deep water area.

But there was no gain.

Although there are plenty of supplies underwater, they are basically exotic herbs that are effective against martial artists.

Those who can truly absorb spiritual energy, turn mist into clouds, and even the legendary innate spiritual roots, probably all grow in deep water.

Although the Jade Yuan Chan possesses extraordinary perception, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack in the vast Nituo River.

Moreover, there will inevitably be conflicts with the indigenous people in the deep water area. It would be unwise to fight rashly without any profit.

The group of horned toads subdued by Jade Yuanchan were given the order to "hunt for treasure".

But after all, the overall strength of the tribe is too low, with only two little demons. During this period of time, they have been searching for treasures outside, but have only found some materials that are valuable to martial artists, but no fairy treasures.

So after much thought, Jade Yuanchan could only ask the mountain lord, the living dictionary, again.

After all, the giant turtle carrying the stone tablet had a very low presence. No matter how the jade toad croaked, it didn't move, and it was obvious that it was lying there dead.

After a long time, the tiger said,

“If Fellow Daoist Yuan Chan wants to obtain spiritual plants and immortal herbs, he can either search the wilderness and the Nituo River inch by inch, or go and kill other monsters or cultivators. Of course, if he is willing to convert to a sect and become a mountain guardian beast, he can also save the country in a roundabout way…”

Jade Yuanchan felt helpless when he heard this.

None of these methods are very safe. The former takes too long, and the latter two are accompanied by huge risks and uncertainties.

Moreover, Jade Yuanchan also found that he had made a misunderstanding.

It does not need any extremely precious and rare immortal herbs. After all, such treasures would be coveted by not only a little demon like it in the Qi training stage, but also by the ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as it is spiritual and can attract spiritual energy, it can be used! It is best to have a large amount and a low life! It has the ability to transform freely, and even the most humble spiritual plants can be cultivated and transformed into innate spiritual roots, and become a sky-supporting Jianmu-level existence.

Jade Yuanchan was thinking.

The white fox behind the mountain king suddenly said crisply, "Master Toad, I know where a spiritual root is."

…

After a while.

In front of the cliff overlooking the river.

Jade Yuanchan looked at the crack on the cliff, which was as wide as a forearm and which an ordinary person had to lean sideways to enter, and couldn't help feeling troubled.

"You said that behind this cliff, there is a yellow, shining grass root that can absorb qi and call forth spirits?" Jade Yuanchan gestured.

The white fox stood a little further away, still a little afraid of the Jade Yuan Toad.

"The little fox was originally a wild fox in the barren mountains. It was only after it accidentally broke into the cliff and sucked the dew from the spiritual root that it gradually became wise."

Jade Yuanchan was a little surprised when he heard this.

In this way, the grass root behind the cliff can, in a sense, be regarded as the white fox's companion spirit and the foundation for its enlightenment.

"This grass is so precious, why are you willing to give it to me?"

The white fox suddenly knelt on the ground, raised a pair of front legs in a human-like manner, and saluted, "I dare not hide it from Lord Toad. I am from Baiqiu Mountain. Years ago, when the Earth Mother walked, she fell out of the Red Wave Sea, but also swallowed up Baiqiu Mountain! The little fox and some of the tribesmen were lucky enough to escape, and then they headed towards Zhuoguang Mountain to find a new habitat.

However, on the way, she met a spider spirit who was also swallowed by the flood and moved her nest. She called herself Madam Hua.

Madam Hua is extremely vicious. She has a magical weapon that can help her fly and eat monsters, spit out evil poisonous fire, extract bones and refine souls to nourish her body.

She raised my people as food! Only I escaped!"

The white fox suddenly burst into tears, crawled on the ground, and raised its tail high.

"Please be merciful, Lord Toad, and help us!"

Jade Yuanchan heard this, without any anger or joy, but just watched with cold eyes.

"Then why don't you ask Shanjun to help?"

"In the eyes of the mountain lord, the feud between my fox clan and Madam Hua is no different from a hungry wolf hunting in the mountains. We are unwilling to take action and disrupt the balance of nature." The white fox said aggrievedly.

"Okay, I agree." said Jade Yuanchan.

Hearing this, the white fox was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Toad!"

“That spiritual root has an innate restriction, and the little fox does not have enough mana to pick it.

I wonder if Mr. Toad has practiced earth escape? If that's not possible, he can dig a hole in the ground to get in."

The Jade Yuan Toad slowly stood up, and the scales on its belly rubbed against the ground, making a crisp sound like metal colliding with stone.

"No."

As soon as the words fell.

The bony forelimbs hit like wheels, rock fragments flew everywhere, sparks splashed, and after a loud bang of breaking rocks and splitting mountains, a cave entrance appeared that was large enough for the Jade Yuan Toad to pass through.

The white fox blinked, a little dazed.

Behind the cave entrance, several feet deep, there is a hollow cave in the mountain.

There is a small spring in the cave, and there seems to be a dark yellow grass growing in the spring, with only a slight tip showing, and a faint spiritual energy lingering around.

"Master Toad, that's it!" The white fox was a little excited.

"Master Toad, go pick it up! You opened the cave entrance, and the spiritual energy dissipated. If you wait too long, your spiritual roots may be damaged."

For some reason, the white fox began to urge.

The Jade Yuan Toad stood on its hind legs at the entrance of the cave, with a dim gaze, but it did not crawl in.

"Little fox..."

When the voice of Jade Yuanchan came, the white fox was a little confused.

"Mr. Toad, what's wrong? Pick them quickly."

Whoosh! The demonic energy swept through, forming a strong wind on the spot. Jade Yuanchan looked at the white fox that he held in his hand, and as he exerted force, the bones of the fox broke with a crisp sound.

"Why did you lie?"

As soon as it approached the cliff, it could faintly smell a fragrance like pollen, accompanied by fluctuations of demonic power.

It is extremely secretive, and even a demon beast in the late stage of Qi training may not be able to recognize it.

The white fox raised its head, its eyes pleading for mercy.

Snap!

The Jade Yuanchan exerted force and the white fox turned into a ball of meat paste and was thrown into the spring in the cave.

Crash...

Suddenly, the spring water rolled, and a large amount of spider silk spurted out from the spiritual root with only the tip exposed, and a roll of meat paste immediately dragged it downwards.

In the Jade Yuanchan's perception, the spider silk disappeared into the ground in an instant.

After a while, the spring water returned to calm and bubbles began to gurgle.

The spiritual root, with only the tip remaining, reappeared, floating on the water like a bait.

"Madam Hua..."

The Jade Yuanchan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

What the white fox said just now was nine true and one false.

I guess the only ambiguity is that it didn't escape for its life, but was a bait deliberately released by Madam Hua.

If they encounter human pioneers, they will transform themselves into plump beauties or handsome scholars and lure them here.

If you encounter a suitable monster, you can use its spiritual roots as a guide and the narrow cave entrance as a limit to lure it into the trap.

Fortunately, the tiger did not want to meddle in other people's business, so he abided by his duty as a tiger and did not come to look for treasure.

Otherwise, with the fluctuations of demonic power revealed by Madam Hua, the tiger would be in trouble.

"However, it is estimated that Madam Hua really holds a spiritual root in her hand."

The Jade Yuan Chan took a look at the spring water in the cave, which was filled with evil spirit. After blocking the entrance of the cave with rubble, it headed towards the Nituo River.

Although there are signs of spiritual roots, Madam Hua is quite powerful. Judging from her demonic aura, she is a demon beast in the middle stage of Qi training.

Don't worry, I'll level up first.

…

High above the Nituo River.

Two beams of light flew across the sky, and when they reached the wilderness, they each cast a concealment spell.

Unlike the monsters in the water, many of the monsters that live in the wilderness have a strong sense of territory and will even forbid people to pass over their heads.

Therefore, most cultivators will restrain their aura and hide their tracks.

This is also one of the reasons why immortals are so hard to find for mortals.

Even if an immortal were in person, he would know nothing.

In the escaping light, a woman with red lips and white teeth said, "Brother He, we have gained a lot on this trip. If we go back and count and sell them, we will be able to collect enough spiritual stones to practice in the blessed land."

Senior Brother He nodded, looking delighted.

"Junior sister, what you said is right, especially those three-spike plantain plants. Although they are only first-grade middle-grade spiritual plants, they can comb the earth veins and exude spiritual energy, which can increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment to a certain extent. Even cultivators in the late stage of Qi training will be jealous."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, "But Junior Brother Jia left alone a few days ago to practice the Five Elements Rotating Formation. He hasn't returned yet. I wonder if he encountered any problems?"

The junior sister didn't care. She looked around and said casually, "Maybe Senior Brother Jia has some opportunity and is hiding somewhere to practice in silence!"

After hearing this, Senior Brother He fell silent.

Opportunities are often accompanied by risks. Junior Brother Jia has not shown up for such a long time that he feels uneasy.

He was about to say something when a dense jungle shrouded in thick fog appeared on the ground under the escaping light.

The junior sister's eyes shone with excitement, "Such a strong demonic aura! And a bloody aura, I don't know how many lives have died! There must be a demon here!"

Senior Brother He raised his Dharma Eye and saw that after the thick fog had dispersed, the dark woods were filled with spider webs and disgusting mucus dripping on the ground, and he could even see white bones and pieces of undigested meat.

Seeing this, Senior Brother He's face became solemn, and his feet sped up several times, wanting to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, his junior sister suddenly called out to him, "Brother! There is a blood demon living here. We have no choice but to slay the demon and eliminate the harm to the people!"

When Senior Brother He heard this, he suddenly felt a headache.

His junior sister is quite talented and has a middle-grade gold spiritual root. Her father is at the great perfection stage of Qi training and is also his master.

Therefore, he has always doted on this junior sister and taken good care of her.

But my junior sister is rather naive and always wants to be the leader in everything.

"Junior sister, this monster has a strong aura. I'm afraid it's in the middle stage of Qi training. Even if we join forces, we only have 30% to 40% chance of defeating it. It's too dangerous."

"What if we add thunderbolts?"

"Well, I'm about 50 to 60 percent sure, but still..."

"Ten. I mean ten Sky-shaking Bombs."

Senior Brother He was silent.

This deafening thunder was made by intercepting a wisp of purple lightning and wind and rain on a rainy day. It requires a cultivator who has reached perfection in Qi training to be able to refine it.

With a spit from his palm, within an instant, several miles became scorched and brown, as if the sky was angry.

Each one costs nearly a hundred spirit stones, which is comparable to the entire fortune of a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

Master, you are doting on your junior sister too much...

Senior Brother He grumbled in his heart and said helplessly, "If that's the case, then we have a 90% chance of success."

"Let's go! Let's get rid of the monster!"
