Chapter 57 The day of snatching prey came when she was concentrating on...
The days passed as she concentrated on growing spiritual plants. Half a year later, all eight kinds of spiritual plants were harvested, and they were all of perfect quality. She was truly relieved.
The most important task was half completed. "What should we do next?" Xu Hui asked.
"There are still five kinds of spiritual plants that need to be collected." These five are about to mature. Using the collection technique, they are of perfect quality and do not require the additional spiritual power of top-grade spiritual stones to grow.
The remaining spiritual power can be used to grow medicinal materials for top-grade rejuvenation pills and top-grade qi-replenishing pills.
As for Wei Mubai's future wish of refining the top-grade Qianxia Pill, it would still be in time to plant them then, so he just needed to collect all the seeds now.
"Okay, I'll go get ready first."
In fact, there was nothing much to prepare. She carried everything with her, including the magic sword, defensive magic tools, elixirs, formation plates, and talismans. Wei Mubai had prepared them all for her.
All you have to do is organize it, understand its performance, and use it as soon as you need it.
So they set off the next day. Wei Mubai pulled him, stepped on the spirit sword, and soared into the sky.
The first target is the Shadow Moon Orchid. This herb has the ability to harmonize yin and yang and balance the power of the five elements. It is the most important auxiliary medicine in the elixir recipe.
After adding it, it can balance the medicinal properties of various medicinal liquids when refining Qianxia Pills and increase the success rate of pills.
The Shadow Moon Orchid grows in deep mountain valleys surrounded by clouds and mist and bathed in direct moonlight.
The Wei family found a valley that met the requirements deep in the Sea Mist Forest, but the maze there was so severe that even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage could not withstand it, and their cultivation level dropped unconsciously.
In order to refine the Qianxia Pill, Wei Mubai spent half a year researching outside the maze before he finally developed an antidote to the maze, but the effect only lasted for half an hour.
However, the valley is guarded by a group of Moon Shadow Foxes whose strength can be said to be at the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir. Their combat ability is not strong, but they are very good at creating illusions.
There are so many Moon Shadow Foxes targeting you, layer upon layer of illusions, true and false, false and true, it is easy to confuse reality and illusion.
Therefore, even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage did not end up well.
At that time, the Wei family sent out eight people, but they were able to pick six Shadow Moon Orchids.
There is no way. Compared with those difficulties, the characteristics of the Shadow Moon Orchid are really speechless. It can actually switch between reality and illusion.
At the beginning, eight people took action and picked thirty or forty plants, but when they were taken out of the Sea Mist Forest, only six of them had become solid bodies, and the others had turned into virtual bodies. They could be seen but not touched, let alone used as medicine.
At first, he thought he was in an illusion and didn't pick any of the orchids at all. But after Wei Mubai studied and analyzed the medicinal properties, he realized that the Shadow Moon Orchid was very willful.
It likes to be close to you, and what you collect is the real thing. If you don’t like it, it will turn into a virtual body, leaving only an image.
The six plants were picked by two people. One picked five and the other picked one. It can be seen that there is a difference between liking and liking.
Xu Hui couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this, "Is this how they protect themselves?"
As expected, the spiritual plants in the world of cultivation are very interesting, and their evolutionary directions and abilities are also bizarre.
Wei Mubai nodded slightly. "Moon Shadow Foxes like to eat Phantom Moon Orchids. There are many foxes in the valley, but there are almost no mature ones. We may need to wait a few days."
"Since we're here, why not pick more?"
Shadow Moon Orchid is a good thing. It has a purifying function and can dispel negative energy and impurities around it, making the air fresh and rich in spiritual energy.
In addition, it has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit, and is one of the main ingredients of Ningxin Dan.
This kind of elixir can keep the mind clear and unaffected by the demonic energy in places like the Demonic Sea Abyss where demonic energy is rampant.
But what Xu Hui likes most is its other function, which is to release a special substance that can help animals and plants absorb spiritual energy faster.
Anyway, the area of the spiritual plant space is large enough, so if you plant more Shadow Moon Orchids, the medicinal plants inside will not only grow faster, but also have more spiritual power and better medicinal effects.
Wei Mubai nodded slightly, "I will trap the Moon Shadow Fox, you can pick as many as you want."
The two landed in the Sea Mist Forest. As soon as they landed, Xu Hui smelled a strong fishy smell of the sea. There was steam rising and sea mist all around.
It is truly amazing that a natural environment similar to the ocean can be found deep in a forest far away from the sea.
Wei Mubai gave her a barrier-breaking pill, which had been improved so that it would not be afraid of the toxicity of the barrier.
This place is already deep in the forest, and spiritual beasts appear from time to time, but the magical thing is that they seem not to notice the two people and pass by them as if nothing happened.
Wei Mubai explained, "I used my ethereal power to set up a barrier around me."
The characteristic of ethereal power is to integrate everything into nature, completely concealing the body shape and smell. No wonder those spirit beasts completely ignored them.
After walking a little further, the air gradually became fresher and the spiritual energy became much richer.
And more and more spiritual beasts were encountered, all attracted by the characteristics of the Shadow Moon Orchid.
However, they could not break through the illusion of the Moon Shadow Fox, could not enter the valley, and could only circle around the periphery.
Wei Mubai was well prepared for this. He took out a Golden Lotus, not the one he gave to Xu Hui, but an ordinary version, but it was enough to resist the illusion created by the fox spirit.
With the help of the Golden Lotus, they walked easily into the valley. The air was clear, birds were singing, and flowers were blooming. It was like a dream, so beautiful that it seemed beyond the human world.
The faint blue light emitted by the Shadow Moon Orchid casts a mysterious and tranquil veil over the entire valley at night.
Its appearance is elegant and mysterious, with dark green leaves edged with a circle of fine silver veins, as if carefully carved by moonlight.
The flowers are like miniature moons, with a deep purple center that gradually transitions to a light blue outwards and finally turns into transparent silver at the edges of the petals.
Whenever the moonlight falls, the whole flower seems to be given life, swaying gently and emitting charming light.
It was so beautiful that Xu Hui couldn't help but want to touch it, but the fox spirit was alert and would be discovered if she got close.
The Moon Shadow Fox is a very beautiful creature, with fur as bright and unpredictable as moonlight. Under the moonlight, it glows with a faint silver glow. The tips of its fur seem to be stained with the light of stars, sparkling with crystal points, like a pouring Milky Way, which is beautiful beyond words.
They are light and graceful, strolling among the flowers or jumping and playing, like elves in the moonlight.
Perhaps they sensed the invasion of outsiders, and all the fox spirits, whether lying or standing, looked straight over, their pointed ears erected alertly, unable to hide any movement from them.
But Wei Mubai's spiritual roots made them unable to see or hear anything, and those dark blue eyes that exuded the power of the stars were filled with doubt.
One or two came strolling over, circling lightly around them several times before slowly leaving.
Xu Hui lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think we can catch a few and take them home to raise?"
Wei Mubai raised his eyebrows, "If you like."
Xu Hui coughed lightly and admitted generously, "I like it!"
The Moon Shadow Fox is really beautiful. It is magnificent under the moonlight, and its fur is particularly fluffy, making people want to touch it at first sight.
Wei Mubai nodded, looked up at the night sky, motioned her to stay where she was, and went to the corner, casually set up a formation, then took out a porcelain bottle and poured out the potion inside.
This dark blue potion exudes the fragrance of a ripe Shadow Moon Orchid. When the Moon Shadow Foxes smell it, they all gather around.
In front of the formation, they sniffed doubtfully, then looked up at the night sky and found that the moon had reached the center without them noticing, and it was even bigger and brighter.
They shook their fur, their pupils suddenly lit up, as if they wanted to see through everything.
But Wei Mubai was prepared and placed another restriction on them.
The fox spirits were unaware of the danger, and the fragrance was so tempting and strong that it made them restless, so they did not hesitate and stepped into the formation.
In an instant, they realized something was wrong, but it was too late. They were trapped inside, running around anxiously, making childish sounds like babies, and their dark blue pupils flickered. They wanted to activate the illusion, but didn't know where to direct it.
Seeing that they were all trapped, Xu Hui asked, "How long can they be trapped?"
"About an hour," Wei Mubai said.
That was enough. The Shadow Moon Orchid matured instantly when it was full moon, and now it was less than half an hour away from maturity.
Without the fox spirit in the way, Xu Hui could slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery. She walked around the entire valley and found that there were sixty-seven plants that were about to mature, and the rest were not yet ripe.
She also discovered that the environment of this valley was truly unique. Sunlight could not enter during the day, but moisture and fog from the forest outside would drift in and nourish the land.
But at night, the moonlight can shine in completely, allowing the Shadow Moon Orchid to bathe in the essence of the moon all night long.
There is also a valley in the spiritual plant space with a pleasant environment and humid climate, which is suitable for the growth of Shadow Moon Orchid.
The only thing is that you can't bathe in moonlight while blocking out sunlight.
Xu Hui told him what she had discovered, "What should we do?"
To raise Moon Shadow Foxes, you must have Phantom Moon Orchids. Without the spiritual plants, they will degenerate into ordinary foxes. Not only will they lose their current beauty, but their abilities will also disappear.
As fourth-level spiritual beasts, they are not only good-looking, but also have very practical functions such as hiding and teleporting, setting up illusion arrays, and seeing through illusion arrays.
It's just too difficult to raise, requiring Shadow Moon Orchid to feed it, and few people pay attention to it.
Wei Mubai thought for a moment and said, "Move the entire valley into your spiritual plant space."
Xu Hui's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
This way she wouldn't have to worry about planting, as the environment was very suitable. Presumably, the Phantom Moon Orchid and the Moon Shadow Fox would be able to adapt quickly.
"No problem," Wei Mubai said, and then he looked towards the entrance of the valley vigilantly with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Xu Hui asked in confusion.
"Someone is coming," he quickly formed seals with his hands and set up three restrictions at the entrance.
"Are you here for the Shadow Moon Orchid?" Is it such a fate?
Wei Mubai shook his head, "He came for the Moon Shadow Fox."
"No way!" There were only seventeen or eighteen of them in total, and Xu Hui wanted to keep them all for herself, not for any other reason but because they were very expensive.
The Moon Shadow Fox can create illusions and see through them, which makes it very useful when exploring secret realms. If you sell it before the secret realm opens, the price can be multiplied several times. These are all spirit stones!
Wei Mubai glanced at her and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, they can't get in."
Xu Hui couldn't help but smile. That's great. No one else can take it away from her.
However, the next second, she heard a familiar voice and her smile froze.
"It's a ban, I'm here to break it!"
It’s Yi Qingxue!
So, is she going to be snatched away by the heroine?
As for whether Yi Qingxue can break the ban set by Wei Mubai, Xu Hui believes that she can definitely do it, because she is the heroine who will kill gods and Buddhas if they stand in her way!
