Chapter Seventy-Four: The Blood of the Dragon Tortoise
"Do you need me to bring this person back from Yunding Peak?"
"No need, I'm waiting for him to come to me......"
Gege and Xu Yunzhi came to the medicine city, and Xu Yunzhi first went home to visit his mother.
Xiao Chun cried with joy when he saw the results of Xu Yunzhi's cultivation during this time.
"Xiao Chun, now that the master is seriously injured, I have to go with the little master to find materials to refine the pill to save the master, so I won't stay long before I come back this time and leave, you have to take care of yourself. ”
"Yunzhi, you can go with confidence, I will take care of myself and wait for you to come back at home. ”
Xu Yunzhi reluctantly left home, and they came to the medicine city without delay, looking for the blood ginseng they needed in the pharmacy in the city.
In the past few days, the shops in the entire medicine city have asked, but they haven't found the materials they need.
"Little Master, blood ginseng is too rare, ordinary herb stores will definitely not find it, should we go to the Alchemist Registration Office to have a look!"
"Well, that's the last hope!"
Xuanqing came to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he walked towards the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and along the way, he didn't know how many small demon beasts he had killed for thousands of years.
After several days of searching, there was still no trace of the dragon turtle.
Gege and Xu Yunzhi came to the Alchemist Registration Office, and they came directly to the third floor, where they sold some high-grade rare medicinal materials, and Gege hoped to find blood ginseng here.
They searched carefully in each stall, wandering over and over again, for fear of missing it.
When they came to a stall around the corner, there was a thin old man sitting on a wooden deck chair: "Young man, are you looking for some rare medicinal herbs?"
"Grandpa, how do you know we're looking for rare medicinal herbs?"
"Little girl, you have turned around this floor a few times, if you don't even have medicinal materials here, they must be very rare, and you won't find them in the entire medicine city. ”
"Grandpa, we want to find a blood ginseng!"
"Blood ginseng, then you don't have to look for it, it's really not here, not only here, I don't think anyone will sell it in the entire continent." ”
"Why?"
The old man sat up slowly, lit the tobacco leaves in his pipe, and took a deep puff.
"The growth environment of blood ginseng is very special, and the growth requirements are also very harsh, and the people who can generally see blood ginseng do not understand medicine, so many of them are destroyed or not harvested. ”
The more Gege and Xu Yunzhi listened, the more strange they became, where can blood ginseng grow, and who will be the people who go there, since it is not for blood ginseng, who will do what?
"Grandpa, what kind of place are you talking about?"
"Tomb!"
"What? Burial chamber! Who are the ......?"
"Those who are the tomb robbers, whose purpose is to steal gold and silver treasures, do not know the blood ginseng, and do not know its value, so many of them have been destroyed. ”
"Then do you know where to find a tomb with blood ginseng?"
"Blood ginseng grows on the coffin in the old tomb, and the old tomb is difficult for us ordinary people to find, and not all old tombs will grow blood ginseng, some tombs because of water seepage or collapse, the coffin has already rotted and damaged, so there is no way to grow blood ginseng. ”
"Old man, how can we find the ancient tomb?"
"I can't help you with that, but there's an antique shop in the west of the city, and the owner of it often has dealings with some tomb robbers, so where can you go and ask. ”
"Thank you, old man. ”
Gegra Xu Yunzhi hurriedly left the alchemist registration office, and they came to the west of the city, looking for the antique shop that the old man said on the street.
"Little Master, why don't we eat something first, we can take a rest after looking for medicinal herbs for a day. ”
Gege looked at Xu Yunzhi, who was panting tiredly behind him.
"Okay, find a place to eat, take a break, and look for it. ”
They simply ate two bowls of clear soup noodles at the roadside noodle stall and sat down to rest.
"Boss, do you know if there's an antique shop around here?"
"Yes, there is an antique shop next to the rice shop not far ahead!"
"Okay, thank you boss!"
Gege put down the money and left the stall, and they walked in the direction the stall owner pointed out.
Sure enough, I didn't go far before I saw an antique shop next to the rice shop.
Gege and Xu Yunzhi walked in, pretending to admire the antiques in the store.
"This young lady, do you have anything you like?" a middle-aged man walked out of the inner room.
"Oh, I see that you guys here are very average, nothing special. ”
"I didn't see that you are still quite knowledgeable, Miss, how can good things be placed outside!"
The boss walked into the inner room, and after a while, he came out with a wooden box, which he opened to reveal several ancient-looking jade and gold objects.
"You're looking at these to see if there's anything you like. ”
Gege took them out one by one and looked at them, and some of them even tried them on, putting on a not very satisfied expression.
"Miss, these are all good things, absolute antiques, but the Tao can't get into your eyes?"
"Hmm...... I don't think you have anything here that I want to buy!"
"Miss, what do you want? as long as it's an antique and the price is right, we can get it for you. ”
Gege and Xu Yunzhi looked at each other, Xu Yunzhi leaned into the boss's ear and whispered: "I want to go down to the grave to find something by myself, do you have a way to take us there?"
"Wait!"
The boss walked into the inner room and came out again after a while.
"Come in with me!"
Gege and Xu Yunzhi followed the boss into the inner room, and there were some hoes, ropes and other tools in the inner room, and there were no antiques.
"Brother, they're coming. In the room, a man larger than the boss leaned back in a chair and looked at the book in his hand.
The man put down the book in his hand and said, "What do you want?"
"What we want is not worth anything to you, neither gold nor silver, nor antiques, but blood ginseng growing on the coffin. ”
"Blood ginseng? hahaha...... It's worthless, and it's usually ruined for us. ”
"This time I want to hire you to go down to the grave to help me find a blood ginseng, I don't know ......"
"Yes, but the price is ......"
Gege took out a silver ticket worth 1,000 taels and handed it to the man.
"Do you think that's enough?"
"One thousand taels...... It's very dangerous for us to go to the grave, we can sell some things for a thousand taels, and the blood ginseng thing is too unlucky, why should I help you?"
"You rob the tomb for the silver, I can give as much as you want, and we don't want anything else to hire you to go to the tomb except for blood ginseng. ”
"Well, this thousand taels is a deposit, and another thousand taels will be paid after the matter is completed. ”
"Can ......"
"Also, you can't follow us, we'll go on our own, and I'll leave tomorrow. You tell me where you live, and when you come back I will have someone look for you. ”
"Why didn't you let us go?"
"My shop is here, and we do the most righteous thing in our business, don't worry. ”
"Okay, but quick. ”
Gege told him about the inn he was staying at and left the antique shop.
All she could do now was wait, sitting on the first floor of the inn every day and waiting for their news.
Xu Yunzhi also returned home to reunite with Xiaochun.
Xuanqing finally found the dragon turtle, he stood by the lake, the turtle shell of the dragon turtle was exposed outside the water, like an island in the lake, and the dense thorns on the turtle shell were like small peaks.
Xuan Qing jumped into the air with the Pointing Heaven Sword and slashed towards the turtle shell.
"When!" Xuan Qing felt that his hand was a little numb from the shock, and the person was bounced back.
"It's so hard, the Heavenly Sword can't even do damage to its turtle shell. ”
The water surface began to fluctuate, and the dragon turtle slowly emerged from the water, and the water surface also decreased a lot.
The dragon turtle stretched out its head and looked at Xuanqing in the air with round eyes.
"I'm not here to hunt you, I just want to borrow a drop of your blood!"
The dragon turtle didn't listen to Xuanqing, he opened his mouth and spewed a column of water towards Xuanqing.
Xuan Qing stepped on the Pointing Heaven Sword to dodge in the air, summoning a dry qi. He used his shield to fend off the dragon turtle's attack, flew to the side, and slashed at the dragon turtle's foot with an axe.
The dragon turtle instantly retracted its limbs, and Xuan Qing tried several times, but he couldn't cut the foot of the dragon turtle.
"This monster's defense is really too strong, its limbs are retracted into its shell, and it basically can't attack, so you have to think of a way. ”
In addition to defense, the dragon turtle is also constantly attacking Xuanqing with water, although its defense is very strong, but the attack power is not so strong, only some ordinary water attribute skills.
A few water bombs, some water wave attacks, Xuanqing can easily dodge, but the most difficult thing now is that he can't cause damage to the dragon turtle.
He had been fighting against the dragon turtle for a day and a night, and Xuanqing's physical exertion had slowed his movements a lot.
"How did this guy hunt and defend such a perverted monster beast in the dark night!"
Xuanqing retracted his relatives and summoned the Demon Whip with powerful attack power.
"Whip bones fluttering!" The Demon Whip quickly whipped the dragon turtle, because the speed of the whip was fast, and the dragon turtle had already whipped on its body before it could react.
The speed of the whip became faster and faster, and before the dragon turtle noticed, the demon whip tied the dragon turtle's hind legs.
Xuan Qing pulled the Demon Whip hard, and he controlled the Finger Heaven Sword to fly up, slashing towards the bound leg.
The dragon turtle forcibly tried to retract its hind legs, but the strength was very strong, and Xuanqing was pulled closer in the direction of the dragon turtle.
Xuanqing ran the Yunding Technique, desperately pulling the Demon Damage Whip to prevent the Dragon Turtle's feet from retracting into its shell.
The Fingering Heaven Sword slashed through the dragon turtle's hind leg with light, and did not cut it, but only scratched the leg.
Xuan Qing took back the Demon Whip and the Fingering Heaven Sword, and there was still the blood of the dragon turtle on the Pointing Heaven Sword, and Xuan Qing put some in a container and put it away.
The dragon turtle was a little angry, and it sucked all the water in the pool into its body, protruding countless water balls towards Xuanqing.
"The blood is already there, so there's no need to entangle with you. Xuan Qing stepped on the Heavenly Sword and flew towards the outside of the forest.
The dragon turtle couldn't keep up with Xuanqing's speed at all, it let out a terrifying howl, retracted its limbs and head into the turtle shell, and slowly sank into the water.
