Chapter 40: Treasure Hunt in the Mountains



"Junior sister, do you want to go treasure hunting with me?"

"Yes! Yes! I want to go!"

Li Xuefei's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait

"Then you must follow me closely and don't run around!"

Wu Daosheng walked down first, and Li Xuefei followed closely behind. When they encountered bushes on the road, they used their palms to clear the way and blasted away the objects that blocked their way.

Wu Daosheng was a little puzzled. This mountain range was almost completely deserted, with no signs of human activity. "The weeds and shrubs here are so lush. Don't people from your village go up the mountain to look for herbs?"

The little girl's eyes dimmed instantly, and she felt a little depressed. "My father used to go hunting in the mountains. The other uncles in the village didn't dare to go up the mountain, saying that there were monsters in the mountains that would eat people."

Wu Daosheng was startled, and touched her head apologetically, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story."

Li Xuefei pushed his hand away and smoothed her hair. "It's okay. I'm very happy to have my senior brother with me now!"

Wu Daosheng smiled slightly and pulled her to climb the steep rock wall below. After climbing over several cliffs,

Li Xuefei was sweating profusely and was having a hard time climbing. She complained, "Brother, you could just fly me over there, why do I have to climb? It's so tiring!"

Wu Daosheng remained relaxed and at ease. "You can't bear this? Back then, our master sealed my power and forced me to climb a thousand-foot-high peak with my bare hands!"

At that time, he was much more tired than his junior sister. The master sat on the top of the mountain and drank tea. From time to time, he would throw a stone down and hit his head, making it buzz. He said it was to train his reaction ability and dodge skills.

"Practicing cultivation doesn't just involve cultivating your skills, it also involves cultivating your physique! The body is like a container; the stronger it is, the more mana it can hold! I'll increase the intensity of your training in due course!"

Wu Daosheng glanced at Li Xuefei's frail body and said lightly

Li Xuefei's face turned bitter, and she felt that her good days were coming to an end!

"Then Senior Brother, can you be a little gentler? I'm afraid of pain!"

Wu Daosheng glanced at her and said, "Sure! The medicinal soup will be steamed for 49 days, the marrow will be cleansed and the meridians will be strengthened for 81 days, and the bones and tendons will be strengthened for three years!"

"Ah!" Li Xuefei opened her mouth wide and looked at her senior brother in disbelief. "Senior brother, you are so cruel, are you sure my body won't be damaged?"

Wu Daosheng rewarded her with a popcorn and said, "Watch your words!"

Li Xuefei covered her forehead in pain, tears welling up in her eyes, "Bad brother! You always hit me on the head."

"I'm going to report this to Master Daozu later!"

Wu Daosheng ignored her and scanned the cliffs. Suddenly, he noticed a blue light in a crevice not far away. He thought to himself, "Stand still here! I'll go check over there."

He stretched out his sleeves and waved his body, and flew over

Li Xuefei blinked her eyes, and couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of treasure was hidden in the cracks of the rocks?

Wu Daosheng looked into the gap and saw that the thing emitting blue light was a palm-sized spiritual grass with leaves like blue scissors and roots like white snake tails.

"This is actually a Spirit Snake Grass, the main ingredient for refining the Bones and Muscles Pill! It's really a great harvest!"

Wu Daosheng couldn't help but feel delighted! Using his magical powers, he illuminated the package, broke it off from the root, took it out, and examined it carefully in his palm. He counted it and found a total of nine leaves, nine hundred years old!

"Brother, what are you doing? What's the point of looking at that grass so preciously?" Li Xuefei saw his excited face and thought he had picked up some treasure, but it turned out to be just a piece of grass. She was a little disappointed.

Wu Daosheng took out the wooden box, put it in, and then pasted a talisman paper to lock the spiritual energy and put it into the Qiankun Ring.

Wu Daosheng flew back and gave her a sullen look. "You idiot, do you see anything else besides the treasure? That's one of the main ingredients in refining the tendon and bone pill. If you want to avoid physical pain, you better keep your eyes open and look for any glowing herbs!"

Li Xuefei was stunned. The herb was even more precious than a treasure! She couldn't help but open her eyes wide and look around to see if there were any other glowing herbs.

As the two climbed down, they found many spiritual herbs, including three spiritual herbs for refining tendon and bone pills, namely Tianling Shouwu, Fengxue Lingzhi, and Xingchencao. The others were ordinary herbs that could be used to make body-building soup.

Wu Daosheng observed the terrain intently, searching for traces of spiritual herbs while also defending against the sudden attacks of poisonous creatures from all around.

After reaching the bottom of the valley, he found that the valley was like a bowl, with cliffs on all sides, and it was difficult to climb. There were also poisonous insects, snakes and ants hiding in the weeds and jungle.

Most importantly, he discovered that all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here had seeped into the basin, like a whale swallowing up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with only one going in and no one going out.

"The terrain here seems like a treasure pot, gathering the energy of heaven and earth and nurturing rare treasures. I wonder if I can collect the materials for the Five Elements Talisman..." Wu Daosheng muttered to himself.

"Ah~" Li Xuefei suddenly screamed, "Brother, help me! Snakes! So many snakes!"

The grass in the distance rustled and rolled, and poisonous snakes, one after another, poked out their triangular skulls, their forked tongues spitting out breath after breath.

Li Xuefei swore that she had never seen so many poisonous snakes in her life, and each one was as thick as an arm, circling around her, looking at the two with bloodshot eyes.

The little girl was frightened and jumped onto Wu Daosheng's back, tightly grasping his neck and hooking her legs around his waist.

"…" Wu Daosheng condensed a magical shield with his hands, wrapping the two of them. Looking at Li Xuefei who was strangling him tightly, he patted her hand unhappily and said, "Come down, or I will throw you into the snake pile."

Li Xuefei was so frightened that her face turned pale. How could she dare to let go? "No, I don't want to be eaten by the snake. Brother, can you carry me on your back?"
