Chapter 127 The Hidden Cave
The Ground Crystal Flower was discovered in recent years while hunting the Fine Demon Clan. The land, which had been eroded by the gray fog, was originally a barren wasteland, but someone discovered this plant that grows close to the ground.
It grows extremely slowly, only about one centimeter taller per year, and blooms only once a year. The flowers are the size of rice grains and have no trace of any spiritual energy.
Ah Chen happened to see it blooming once, and casually picked a handful to bring to Xi'er.
Bo Yiyan saw it and, after research, discovered that this kind of ground-point crystal flower could actually absorb the gray fog!
Unfortunately, it cannot be transplanted; if it leaves the land eroded by the smog, it will wither quickly.
However, Xi'er's two Magical Butterflies really like to eat this flower. According to information Xi'er obtained after communicating with them, this flower contains a special ingredient that can help the Magical Butterflies grow.
It just so happens that the Earth-Pointing Crystal Flower is in bloom right now. Since we're going to hunt down the Fine Demons in the Gray Mist, we might as well pick a few flowers while we're at it.
Actually, Ah Chen didn't want to hunt the Little Demon at all, but Nie Xiaoxiao was incredibly stubborn. If she didn't do something she wanted to do, she could nag about it for months.
From the very beginning, their relationship was characterized by her casually bullying him, and this dynamic remained unchanged even after his cultivation level surpassed hers.
Ah Chen's behavior stemmed from his mother's teachings that a man should treat a girl with gentlemanly manners.
Besides, they've known each other since they were eight years old, and have gone through countless battles together. They are the kind of partners who would share life and death and entrust their lives to each other.
In the small matters of daily life, he naturally couldn't be bothered to argue with her about so many things.
Currently, the human race and the demons are in a relatively balanced state. The gray fog has stopped in the Qiyan Mountains area and has not continued to invade more areas on a large scale.
However, as a student of Shifang Academy, you still need to ask for leave to go out.
However, Nie Xiaoxiao had already submitted a leave slip to the dean yesterday, saying that they were going to celebrate Achen's sister's birthday.
Two years ago, they both passed the assessment to advance to the advanced class. Now, with their grades, they could graduate and leave at any time.
Only because of the invasion of the Demon Clan, the academy specially kept these graduates behind, allowing them to enjoy the treatment of tutor assistants.
He occasionally gives guidance to his juniors, but spends the rest of his time at the academy focusing on his studies or taking freshmen out for training.
Last year, the college enrolled another class of freshmen, and the college didn't manage these assistant tutors as strictly.
However, the dean still specifically instructed Nie Xiaoxiao: "Go early and come back early, and remember not to go deep into the Qiyan Mountains."
Nie Xiaoxiao readily agreed, but once she left the academy, wouldn't she be free to roam the world?
Ah Chen is now at the fifth level of the Heavenly Inquiry Realm, and his rate of advancement is undoubtedly the fastest among all the young elites in the Misty Heavenly Realm.
Breaking through to the Heavenly Realm is already difficult, and advancing to each level above the Heavenly Realm is extremely challenging.
Blue Demon doesn't have much effect on improving one's Heavenly Questioning Realm cultivation, so A-Chen naturally wouldn't compete with other Spiritual Connection Realm cultivators for Blue Demon.
In recent years, he has occasionally hunted down Blue Demons. In addition to giving them to his teammates, he also gave one to Fathead Fish, enabling it to successfully break through to the sixth rank.
However, the fathead fish is a divine beast cub, and its advancement is much more difficult than that of the dragon overlord. After the sixth rank, the blue demon is not very useful to it.
After absorbing two Blue Demons, Long Batian had broken through to the eighth rank. However, Blue Demons were no longer effective against monsters beyond the eighth rank.
However, after reaching the eighth rank, the Blue Demon became useless against Long Batian.
Over the years, Little Selaginella has absorbed seven or eight Green Demons, breaking through from the second tier to the fourth tier.
Ah Chen couldn't bear to let it absorb the Blue Demon. After all, many students in the academy were starving for food, and he couldn't be too selfish and use the scarce Blue Demon on the little Selaginella, who had little combat power.
Ah Chen is now particularly eager to obtain a Purple Demon. Whether it's him, Fathead Fish, or Dragon Overlord, they should all be able to advance with a Purple Demon.
Because they were going to hunt down the Little Demon, Ah Chen specially brought Long Batian along, who was usually left to roam freely.
As long as he eats cultivators, Achen will not restrict his freedom of movement.
When Long Batian had just broken through to the eighth rank, he had secretly gone to hunt Blue Demons on his own. However, it turned out that even if he absorbed Blue Demons, he would not be able to advance further, and his enthusiasm was gone.
Hearing Ah Chen say that he was going to hunt down the Little Demon, he immediately perked up.
"Ah Chen, how about we hunt a Purple Demon this time? I promise you can absorb it first!" Long Batian said excitedly.
"You're overthinking it! How easy is it to encounter a Purple Demon? Besides, with just the two of us at the Heavenly Realm and you, an eighth-tier demon beast, if we were to encounter a Purple Demon, we'd probably just be offering ourselves up as food," Achen said.
He brought Long Batian along for extra protection. Long Batian was tough and resilient; if they really encountered Zi Mo, he could desperately try to stop him, giving Long Batian three breaths to activate the teleportation talisman.
In recent years, as he has grown older, Ah Chen still has the passion of a young man, but he has also become more mature.
Especially since he was with Nie Xiaoxiao, he had to be even more responsible for her safety.
Achen activated the directional teleportation talisman and teleported directly to a hidden cave inside the Qiyan Mountains.
Currently, only the Yellow Demon appears on the outer perimeter of the Qiyan Mountains, the Green Demon only appears in the inner perimeter, the Blue Demon is hard to find, and the Purple Demon has not been seen for a long time.
This directional teleportation coordinate was secretly left behind by him a year ago when he accompanied his mentor to this place with intermediate students to hunt Green Goblin as an assistant to the mentor.
As soon as the three landed, Ah Chen sensed a strong sense of danger.
He casually activated a concealment rune array and then made a shushing gesture.
Nie Xiaoxiao and Long Batian had no idea what was going on, so they could only hold their breath and concentrate.
Then the three of them saw that a large pool had been dug out in one corner of the cave, and the pool was sealed with a transparent glass cover.
Thick gray fog churned within the pool, and the glass dome blocked divine sense from detecting it; nothing could be seen with the naked eye except for the gray fog.
The reason Ah Chen left coordinates in this cave was because it was secluded and there were no signs of monsters or demons.
However, the pool in front of us was clearly dug by humans. The thick gray fog inside indicated that the pool was dug by the Fine Demon Clan.
Soon, two blue demons walked into the cave. The reason they were certain they were blue demons was because the clothes they wore were blue.
These two blue demons are clearly female, with beautiful and charming appearances, and they walk with a graceful gait. If they were lecherous people, they probably wouldn't be able to control themselves by now.
Recent information suggests that Blue Demons have become extremely rare, so how come two of them suddenly appeared in this cave?
