Chapter 36: The Ice Cave
Qin Hao handed five Qi Refining Grass to Lin Yiran and said, "Brother Lin, you can practice by yourself for a while, and then follow the method I told you." I'll go to other herb shops first to see if there are any snake spirit crystals for sale!"
After speaking, Qin Hao walked out of the room.
After Qin Hao walked out of the room, Lin Yiran also specially took out the divine pesticide prescription, compared the medicinal materials that Qin Hao had bought in the medicinal herb shop before, and confirmed that the Taichu Pill formula prepared by the other party was correct, and then began to refine the Qi Refining Pill.
Lin Yiran took a Qi Refining Grass and threw it into the medicine tripod, and just wanted to condense his mind into the burning stone, he suddenly thought of replacing the burning stone with the palm wind of the Red Wind Palm.
Extinguishing the burning stone and moving it away, Lin Yiran began to use the Red Wind Palm to refine the pill. He found that when he started refining, he didn't need too high a temperature, and the Red Wind Palm could still be maintained, but when it was time to heat it up in the middle, the temperature of the Red Wind Palm couldn't go up, resulting in the failure of alchemy, and Lin Yiran had no choice but to give up.
An hour later, when Lin Yiran successfully refined five Qi Refining Pills, Qin Hao also happened to come back.
Seeing the five Qi Refining Pills that Lin Yiran had placed in the box, Qin Hao picked them up and observed them, and exclaimed: "Brother Lin, yes, all of them have been successfully refined, and there is still a high-grade one." ”
Lin Yiran smiled bitterly: "When I refined the fourth one, it was already a high-grade one, but the fifth one became a medium-grade one." ”
Qin Hao said helplessly: "Brother Lin, it's already very good to be able to refine like this when you just start learning, be content!"
Lin Yiran nodded with a smile and asked, "Have you bought the Snake Spirit Crystal?"
Qin Hao said dejectedly: "I ran all over the medicinal herb shops in Yecheng, but there were no goods. ”
Lin Yiran held his chin in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "This Snake Spirit Crystal should have been obtained in the Snake Snake's body, right?"
"Yes. ”
"Then where is this snake?" Lin Yiran remembered that it was recorded in the "Chronicles of the Nine Realms" that most of the snakes were below the Dan realm. However, the book only says that the snake lives in the Elixir Mountain Range, but where it is, it is not mentioned.
"There are in the elixir mountain range, and there are a lot of snakes in the mountains near Yecheng, but after the tax is increased, there are more people hunting in the mountains, and it may be difficult to find a place close to Yecheng, so it is estimated that you have to go to a farther place. ”
"It's okay to be far away, are you familiar with the elixir mountain range?"
"I've been in the mountains with my father and mother a few times before, and I'm quite familiar with each other. Brother Lin, are you planning to go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs?"
"Yes, I also want to pick some ice grass and catch some ice toads. ”
Hearing Lin Yiran's plan, Qin Hao pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, then when does Brother Lin plan to enter the mountain?"
"Now. ”
After Lin Yiran finished speaking, he began to pack his things. Seeing this, Qin Hao also began to prepare some things for entering the mountain. The two of them were ready and began to set off towards the Elixir Mountain Range.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Lin Yiran covered his face again, but then he found that it was redundant, because the guards didn't care about the people who left the city at all.
Lin Yiran followed Qin Hao along the path at the foot of the mountain for three days and came to a mountaineering point in the Elixir Mountain Range.
Qin Hao told Lin Yiran that the Elixir Mountain Range stretched for more than two thousand miles from west to southeast, and the fierce beasts in the northwest were lower than those in the southeast, so people liked to go up the mountain from near Yecheng.
However, due to the fact that too many people have gone up the mountain recently, there are no medicinal herbs to be collected in the mountain range near Yecheng, so Qin Hao took Lin Yiran to walk so far before starting to go up the mountain.
Lin Yiran found that although the road up the mountain is relatively difficult, relatively speaking, there are relatively few people who walk this road, which can be seen from the vegetation that has almost not been destroyed.
Along the way, Lin Yiran discovered that Qi Refining Grass was growing everywhere. Because this thing is helpful for cultivation and is the basic currency of the Dan Realm, they will stop and pick the Qi Refining Grass as soon as they see it. In the end, the two of them picked more than forty Qi Refining Grasses.
They walked for another three days and came to a fork in the road, Qin Hao told Lin Yiran that if they climbed up to the north, they could go to Shuangshi Peak, where there were ice toads and ice grass that Lin Yiran wanted, and to the east was Pingye Valley, where there would be snakes.
Because the Ice Toad and the Cold Ice Grass were easy to obtain after all, Lin Yiran decided to go to Shuangshi Peak first.
It took half a day for the two of them to come to the top of Shuangshi Peak, which was a small plain about a hundred feet wide. On the way here, they also dealt with a fierce beast with mid-stage strength in the Yao Realm, but unfortunately that fierce beast did not have a spirit crystal.
Lin Yiran learned from Qin Hao that only fierce beasts generated by the aura of heaven and earth would have spirit crystals.
Lin Yiran saw that this was a small plain, and he was a little disappointed, because in such a small plain, any person who came would pick all the cold ice grass. He asked Qin Hao, "Will there still be ice grass and ice toads here?"
Qin Hao smiled at Lin Yiran and said, "Just follow me." ”
After speaking, Qin Hao walked towards the middle of the plain, and Lin Yiran saw this and hurriedly followed.
On the way, Lin Yiran saw a fiery red plant, remembered that this was the fire spirit grass used to make the antidote to the ice spirit pill, and hurriedly picked it and put it in the Qiankun bag.
But then, Lin Yiran walked around the small plain again, and did not find a single fire spirit grass.
When Lin Yiran walked to the middle of the plain, a half-zhang wide hole appeared in the ground, and he looked down, and bursts of cold air hit him.
"So this ice grass grows in the cave?" Lin Yiran was a little surprised, because in the Yao Realm, all herbs grow where they can see the sun.
Qin Hao nodded and said, "This is called the Xuanbing Cave, in the Dan Realm, as long as it is a place with strong spiritual energy, there will be medicinal herbs growing. ”
After speaking, Qin Hao took the lead in going down the cave.
As soon as Lin Yiran got out of the cave, he heard Qin Hao's "huh".
Lin Yiran walked to Qin Hao's side when he heard the sound and found Qin Hao's footprints on the ground, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Hao pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "These footprints are very new, and it looks like there should be seven people." ”
"What's the matter, isn't it normal for someone to come and collect medicine?" Lin Yiran was puzzled.
Qin Hao explained: "The people who come here to collect medicinal herbs generally don't come in groups, unless they are hunting some fierce beast or chasing someone. And there are no fierce beasts in this cave that are worth so many people to hunt, I guess there is a group of people chasing people, but as for how many people are chasing people and how many are being chased, then you can't see it. ”
Hearing Qin Hao's explanation, Lin Yiran nodded, took out the Earth Spirit Bead, and began to sense the situation in the cave, but he didn't sense anything abnormal. Presumably, those people were all beyond Lin Yiran's sensing range, so he told Qin Hao: "There is no trace of them within a radius of two miles, let's collect medicine first, and if the situation is not right, we will withdraw from the cave." ”
Qin Hao asked curiously, "Brother Lin, how did you know that there was no trace of them within a radius of two miles?"
Lin Yiran stuffed the Earth Spirit Bead into Qin Hao's hand and taught him to use the Earth Spirit Bead.
After Qin Hao felt the magic of the Earth Spirit Bead and returned it to Lin Yiran, he couldn't help but sigh: "If I also have such an Earth Spirit Bead, it will be too convenient to collect medicine." ”
Lin Yiran said helplessly: "Such a good baby, you only think about using it to collect medicine." ”
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you, I want to be an alchemy master in my life." ”
Lin Yiran said jokingly: "Let's go, Sect Master of Alchemy, let's go collect medicine first." ”
After saying that, Lin Yiran continued to use the Earth Spirit Bead to find medicinal materials, because in this way, he could not only collect medicines, but also detect those who had already entered the cave.
