Chapter 133: Medicine Garden
Mountain path, foggy.
Green weeds grew on both sides, their leaves were thin and long, as sharp as sword blades, and dewdrops hung on the tips of the grass, glittering and clear. It was impossible to see clearly farther away, as it was all foggy.
"The formation has changed again."
Lu Zhaotian, who was walking in front, spoke up to remind him.
The compass in his hand was what he bought to deal with the medicine garden formation. In order to obtain the Mind-Concentrating Grass in the medicine garden on the mountain, he had been preparing for ten years.
"Do you know who set up this formation?" The old ghost suddenly asked. He remembered that there was no formation when he came here last time.
"It may be someone from the three major sects. Guoshan County has the Concentration Grass, so it is normal for it to be blocked by the formation."
Sun Ji next to him replied.
Wang Tianji and Chen Luo at the back did not speak. They were not from Guoshan County and did not know what was happening inside.
After walking a little further, they saw a crooked, dead tree in front of them.
There was a man hanging on the tree.
What really stopped the three people was not the hanging corpse, but a snake wrapped around the tree. The strange snake had a human face on its head, a hairy body like a jackal, and a pair of bird wings between its ribs. It was wrapped around the tree and stared at the five of them.
"It's something left behind by those five evil cultivators."
The moment they saw the snake, the spiritual power in the five people's bodies began to work. The snake gave them a strong sense of oppression, and it felt like an ancient creature.
"This is the descendant of a transformed snake, a kind of ancient evil spirit. If it was a purebred transformed snake, the five of us wouldn't have to run and could just wait to die. However, this transformed snake in front of us is very small, and it is most likely a hybrid with impure bloodline and about the same strength as us."
Wang Tianji, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. He recognized the origin of this thing.
"An ancient snake, with a voice like a woman, often accompanied by floods - Classic of Mountains and Seas."
The same thought also emerged in Chen Luo's mind. Among the more than one hundred external brains in his body, someone recalled the information he saw in the library.
"It really is an ancient evil."
Chen Luo was also on guard, with most of his energy focused on the evil spirit that was hiding somewhere unknown. The remaining energy was directed towards the hanging body, especially his head, which looked very well preserved.
"Just go ahead. If it doesn't bother us, we'll ignore it."
Sun Ji said this and took the lead to walk to the side, facing the crooked tree to prevent the snake's sneak attack.
The group walked around the crooked tree and slowly moved away until the fog completely covered the traces of the crooked tree. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
A trace of pity flashed across Chen Luo's eyes.
Just now he was thinking that if the fight started, he would rush over to grab the brain first. He didn't expect that the snake was so cowardly that he didn't dare to make a move in the end.
After passing the crooked tree, there is a fork in the road.
There are bamboo fences on both sides.
There was a large stone more than three meters high placed at the intersection. On the left side, three large characters were written in dark red blood. Blood was flowing and dripping from the edges of the characters, which was quite scary.
Spiritual medicine garden!
"It's just ahead."
Sun Ji took the lead and headed towards the spiritual medicine garden.
Just as Sun Ji stepped into the path of the spiritual medicine garden, the ground suddenly shook.
Snap!
There was a cracking sound, as if he had stepped on some kind of mechanism. Then he saw a black seal character appear on the ground, and his entire foot seemed to be sucked by the character. Before he could react, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the mist and bit Sun Ji's ankle.
"ah!!"
Sun Ji was shocked and angry, and he waved the magic weapon in his hand and hit the black shadow.
bite!
Sparks flew.
Sun Ji's all-out attack failed to hurt the black shadow, but only caused a burst of sparks. The force of the collision of spiritual energy caused ripples. After being slightly obstructed, the black shadow swung its body and returned to the fog.
"It's the transformed snake."
Wang Tianji quickly took out the small bell magic weapon to protect himself inside. Lu Zhaotian also took out his magic sword. He was a sword cultivator, and his strongest skill was attack. The old ghost summoned the Iron Body Kung Fu Refined Corpse and the "Junior Brother" on the left and right. Chen Luo at the back also took out his magic sword, and everyone was on guard.
I originally thought that the transformed snake had retreated, but now it seems that this is not the case. The opponent just chose a safer sneak attack method.
If the attack misses, he will flee immediately.
This snake is more cunning than expected.
"There's something wrong with this poison."
Sun Ji took out the detoxification pill and swallowed it, temporarily suppressing the poison in his calf. But it did not eliminate the pain of the poison, and he was in great pain, with beads of sweat dripping down his face.
"I'll go ahead, you guys watch out for the surroundings."
Wang Tianji has a bell-shaped magical weapon on him, and his aura is the strongest among the few people. Naturally, he is the best candidate to take the lead.
Walking back to the place where Sun Ji was injured, Wang Tianji avoided the stone slab. He stepped over it and continued to move forward. Sun Ji also recovered a lot. After suppressing the poison, he followed him forward. If he fell here, the Ningshen Grass would have nothing to do with him. The five of them were all in a cooperative relationship, and no one would give up their own interests for him. Not adding insult to injury was already a courtesy.
After walking along the stone path, the five people officially entered the medicine garden.
The fog inside the medicine garden was even thicker, and a large area was covered by fog, making it difficult to see clearly. However, the spiritual fields around him could still be seen clearly. Two different spiritual materials were planted in the two plots of land at the feet of the five people. The green spiritual materials, fresh leaves, and light water droplets were hanging on them. The colors were bright and a little weird.
"Hundred-year-old purple golden vine! Thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng."
Several people looked at the spiritual materials in the medicine field and their eyes turned red.
These things are the main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Any one of them can be exchanged for a large amount of spirit stones. But here they are arranged neatly like white radishes and are everywhere.
Wang Tianji, who was at the front, was the first to make a move. He took out a spiritual thread and put it on the spiritual medicine next to him. Just when the spiritual thread was about to touch the spiritual medicine, a voice suddenly came from the side. A translucent hand emerged from nothingness and grabbed the spiritual thread.
"If you steal the master's elixir, your hands will be chopped off."
The hazy figure materialized, and it turned out to be the young scholar who had met Chen Luo once in the mountain temple. But no one knew where the woman who was snuggling with him had gone.
"Mountain spirit!"
All of them were cultivators who had reached perfect Qi training, so they naturally recognized the origins of this young scholar.
"I will take my elixir and you practice your spiritual way. You and I have nothing to do with each other, so why are you stopping me?" Wang Tianji narrowed his eyes. He also knew the legend of the mountain spirit and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm just reminding you kindly."
The young scholar pointed at the rolling fog and saw a large number of black shadows appearing from a place where there were no enemies. These monsters all exuded the strength of the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.
He definitely wouldn't take three, two or five people seriously, but the number in front of him was too scary. He could kill them here with just the consumption.
"Go forward and find the Concentrating Spirit Grass first!"
The faces of several people changed drastically, and they each used their magical powers to run away.
Chen Luo was also besieged.
'The magical mountain spirit can be swallowed with the Iron Body Technique, which is very nutritious.'
He originally wanted to use his magical powers to escape like everyone else, but before he could move, the mummy brain gave him another suggestion. This thought made him slow down his pace, and he allowed the black shadow in the mist to grab hold of him.
clang!
The Iron Body Technique started to work immediately, and the palm of the mountain spirit was instantly sucked dry after it came into contact with the Iron Body Technique. The power rolled back and was sucked dry in the blink of an eye. Chen Luo only felt a pure spiritual energy pouring into his body, making the color of the 100 spiritual snakes in his body become purer, with a faint trend of transitioning from transparent to light green.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Chen Luo stopped and instead of running, he took the initiative to pounce on the black shadow that was surrounding him from behind.
One, two.
It was not until the tenth one that the mountain spirit scholar in front noticed him.
The moment he was stared at, a sense of danger instantly struck his heart. Chen Luo immediately gave up the idea of making another grab, and used the Wind Control Technique to transform into a stream of light and flew in the direction where the mummy ghost and the others were fleeing. On the way, he did not forget to catch two more and devour them with the Iron Body Technique.
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store.
Fortunately, the mountain spirit scholar did not take action, but just looked at him twice more.
The four people in front were not running fast. They had not practiced the Iron Body Skill, and the fog and black shadows still had a huge impact on them.
"Flame Divine Spell!"
Wang Tianji raised one hand, and the twisted spiritual power gathered in his palm. The powerful spiritual power gathered in his palm and formed a vortex, and a scorching fire energy swept out with him as the center.
Bang bang bang.
The nearest dark shadow in the mist was burned to ashes by the fire. Taking advantage of this gap, several people quickly rushed into the second area of the spiritual field.
There was a bamboo fence separating the area, and after rushing through, the misty shadows disappeared.
The few people who rushed over stopped where they were, gasping for breath.
"There's something wrong with this spiritual field. Those mountain spirits just now didn't seem like normal mountain spirits."
Wang Tianji took a pill.
The last Flame Divine Mantra consumed a lot of his energy. This was how the Qi Refining Realm used their magical powers. Their spiritual energy determined their upper limit.
"Let's not talk about the mountain spirit for now, let's think about how to deal with this woman first." The old mummy ghost and Lu Zhaotian have stood up.
On the path leading to the medicinal field ahead, a strange woman in white was walking slowly out from the depths of the fog.
As the distance got closer, the outline of the woman became clearer. It was the woman who had cuddled with the mountain spirit scholar in the mountain temple.
"I am overjoyed to have guests come to visit me."
The voice of the woman in white was erratic, sometimes far away and sometimes near.
"Star Sword Technique!"
Lu Zhaotian, who was at the front, suddenly drew out his sword, and the sword shone, illuminating the entire area. The sword flew into the air, and Lu Zhaotian grabbed the hilt with one hand, slashing at the woman in white who had not yet walked out.
"Demon slaying."
The sword energy exploded, turning into a slanting crescent that swept across.
All I heard was a loud 'boom'.
The figure of the walking woman in white wavered a few times, and was actually cut in half.
