Chapter 108: Washing the Pulp
Although Senior Brother Zhang concealed it for him, he couldn't hide it in the end, and the news that Chu Ran had taken over that task spread. However, thanks to Senior Brother Zhang's cover-up, after the news got out, Chu Ran had already left the sect and went down the mountain, and those who came to hear the wind pounced, which saved Chu Ran a lot of trouble.
After that, Chu Ran came to a town near the sea, Wanxian Town. The opening of the secret realm of the Immortal Spirit Valley was in this town, Chu Ran paid the entrance fee of a low-grade spirit stone, and when he entered the town, it was bustling with people everywhere. Wanxian Town is just a town, and there are not many people on weekdays, but whenever the Immortal Spirit Valley opens, the town gathers monks from all over the world.
Chu Ran rented a cave mansion, paid the spirit stones, and meditated in the cave mansion. Although he was meditating, his mind was not on cultivation, he was thinking about more important things. At the moment, the top priority is to get a Ten Thousand Immortal Order, which is a token to enter the secret realm of the Immortal Valley. There is a limit to the number of people who can enter the secret realm every year, otherwise, if the people are overcrowded and they are exhausted, the entire secret realm will be destroyed. Therefore, the appearance of the Ten Thousand Immortal Order is to limit the number of people entering the secret realm.
Most of the Ten Thousand Immortal Orders were monopolized by the family, and only a very large part of them were open like scattered cultivation. Chu Ran only had two choices at the moment, either to rely on the family to obtain the Ten Thousand Immortal Order, or to compete for this extremely part of the token for the scattered cultivators. Chu Ran has always been arrogant, so naturally he will not let go of his vassal family, so he decided to go tomorrow to fight for the part of the token issued to the scattered cultivators.
After figuring it out, Chu Ran calmed down and settled into cultivation.
The next day, Chu Ran left the cave and went out.
This time he went to the noon balcony, which was the place where the Ten Thousand Immortal Orders were issued, and when he arrived, there were already many monks gathered on the noon balcony. Most of them are casual cultivators, and there are also many sect disciples like Chu Ran who have no background, but others really have no background, and he ...... With the background of the Bai family, it is easy to do a few pieces of ten thousand immortals. It's just that the ancient and profound family has its own family secrets, so there is no need to compete with other monks for some spiritual grass.
At noon, several middle-aged monks appeared on the balcony at noon, and one of them said a few words to the people beside him, and then he saw that the sky was suddenly dark, and it was black. Chu Ran looked up, his eyes were deep and unwavering, it was...... Giant goshawk!
The surroundings had begun to stir, and the monks began to draw their swords, sacrifice magic weapons, and kill the giant goshawk above their heads. Each goshawk represents a piece of Ten Thousand Immortal Orders, and more than killing the goshawk, it comes more from the infighting among the monks. The number of immortals is limited, and the supply exceeds the demand, and those who do not have it can only snatch it from some people.
Chu Ran's eyes were sharp, he shot quickly, his sword was unsheathed, and he killed a giant goshawk with one sword, and stretched out his hand to catch the remaining ten thousand immortals. His fingers fumbled for the token, his gaze swept up casually, and a murderous aura came from behind.
He put away the token casually, floated away, turned his head and looked coldly, only to see a young monk with a grim and thin face, staring at him unkindly, "Give me the ten thousand immortal spirits in your hand, and I will spare you from death!"
When Chu Ran heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily, he hooked the corners of his lips funny, and said in a cold voice: "Circle me and don't die?"
"Just you?"
The monk was enraged by Chu Ran's contemptuous and disdainful tone, and immediately slashed at him with a sword, Chu Ran did not dodge or dodge, only raised his sword to block it forward, and blocked his sword lightly.
"Playing with the sword in front of me, isn't it clear that I want to bully people!" Chu Ran said, and then with a move of his hand, the sword slashed forward, and with one move, the monk had no power to resist, and was beaten backwards.
The monk's face became more and more gloomy, and a layer of black qi appeared strangely from the sword in his hand, and the yin aura rushed towards him.
Seeing this, Chu Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Demon cultivation?"
"I don't want to deal with you, but since I am a demon cultivator, I can't spare you. Chu Ran's expression was light, and his tone was light.
The monk sneered and said, "I have to kill you today! If I don't kill you, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart!"
Seeing that the long sword in the monk's hand was becoming more and more intense, enveloping the sword body, he raised his hand, and with a sword split, the yin qi turned into a tornado, and with a bang, it swept towards Chu Ran.
Where the wind passes, nothing remains, and the plants and trees die.
"Demon cultivators, how can there be demon cultivators here!" a monk said in a shocked voice, and hurriedly dodged. If you are close to the yin wind and are contaminated with the yin and evil qi, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.
Chu Ran's expression was disapproving, it was just a little yin and evil. I saw that from the fingertips of his sword, a faint blue light flashed, and then he raised his hand and waved the sword at will, and a faint blue fire burst down, spreading rapidly, like a bright firework. The black sinister aura collided with the dark blue firelight, boom!
The flames raged, quickly engulfing the sinister aura.
Looking at the thin monk, his face changed when he saw this, becoming more and more pale, blood flowed from the corners of his lips, and the injury was not light.
Chu Ran looked at him coldly, and said, "The evil sect is crooked, and everyone is responsible." ”
Then, with another swing of the sword, the faint blue fire blasted forward, and there was a miserable scream! The demon cultivator was engulfed in flames, turned to ashes, and the bones were gone.
When the other people around saw this scene, they were immediately terrified, where did this killing god come from! At such a young age, he was so ruthless that there were no bones! It was really terrifying!
For a while, the scattered cultivation around him was shocked by Chu Ran, and those guys who saw that he was young and ready to move also lost their minds and didn't dare to beat him again. The cultivation realm respects strength, and the strength displayed by Chu Ran is enough to make people jealous.
Chu Ran put away his sword, looking like Sven was weak, where was the appearance of half a point of killing and decisiveness. The purpose of his trip had been achieved, and he didn't care about the others around him, turned around and left.
And on the afternoon balcony, a handsome young man in a brocade robe stared at Chu Ran who was leaving, and said, "Who is that?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a loose practice. The man beside him said respectfully.
"Loose cultivation?" the young man curled the corners of his lips, "No, if the scattered cultivation is so powerful, then how can the disciples of those famous sects deal with themselves?"
"Go and find out what he is. The man said.
In another dark corner, several monks gathered.
"I'm going to kill that!" A hateful voice sounded, "He killed Lao Qi!" I want to avenge him, don't stop me!"
With a sneer, the other said: "You want to kill him for revenge, I have no opinion." But if you spoil the Demon Lord's affairs, go back and see how the Demon Lord cleans you up! It won't be long before you can go down and be with Lao Qi. ”
When the man heard this, he was half-loud, and said in a resentful voice: "Then forget it?"
"Of course not, revenge must be avenged, and people must be killed! But not here, when we enter the secret realm, a few of us can't deal with that?"
Chu Ran didn't know anything about these things, but if he knew, he wouldn't care. Those who kill will always kill. From the time Chu Ran first killed Rao, he had already been prepared to be killed. He didn't want to die, so he continued to cultivate to improve his strength, but anyone who wanted him to die, he would kill them back and want them to die!
Second, Chu Ran was in the bazaar, and he wanted to buy a map of the secret territory. The maps of the Valley of the Fairy Spirit are not a rare thing, they are all over the streets, but these maps are incomplete. The merchants are all treacherous, and the maps they sell are reserved. Chu Ran picked and chosen, but didn't find a suitable one, so he frowned unconsciously. Is he going to buy them all back? and then compare them one by one to put together a complete map of the secret realm? It's a way to do it, it's just a waste of time.
Just as Chu Ran frowned and thought, suddenly several people stopped in front of him. Chu Ran raised his head, looked at these people coldly, and his beautiful face was expressionless.
The leader was a young monk in a purple robe, who was very noble and handsome, and he showed a gentle smile at Chu Ran and said, "In Xia Xu Wenshan." ”
Chu Ran was still expressionless, and said coldly: "You are in my way." ”
For strangers who suddenly appeared, it doesn't matter who you are, Chu Ran is not interested.
Xu Wenshan raised his eyebrows, didn't get angry, and said, "I have a complete map of the Fairy Spirit Valley in my hand, I think you need it." ”
Chu Ran raised his head at this time, looked at him squarely, and said, "You make a price." ”
"It's just a map, just for you. Xu Wenshan said indifferently.
Chu Ran looked at him and said, "What do you want?"
"I just want to make a good relationship with you. Xu Wenshan smiled gently, and said, "I see that you are destined." ”
Chu Ran will believe that he is a ghost when he says this, and he will be a traitor or a thief if he has nothing to do, but Chu Ran does need this map, he thought for a while, and said: "I owe you once, if you are in trouble in the secret territory, I will save you once." ”
Xu Wenshan laughed when he heard this, and felt that this kid was really funny, but he still smiled kindly, and said, "Then I'll bother you." He cultivated to build a foundation in half a step, and there were countless guards around him, even if he was really killed, what use could this child be used by himself.
After leaving, the guard beside Xu Wenshan said, "Young Master, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Xu Wenshan's expression was leisurely, and he said: "Such a person will not bow down to people, and I can't subdue him." Instead of grudging, it is better to have a good fate. ”
"Young Master, are you very optimistic about him?"
"He's funny, and as for the rest, who knows what didn't happen. It's just a map of the Fairy Valley, and if you can make friends with a potential monk, it's very cost-effective. Xu Wenshan said.
Chu Ran's cultivation is not enough, and the Qi refining cultivators of the Cultivation Realm are the lowest level, as many as dogs. With cultivation alone, Chu Ran couldn't make people look down on him. But his temperament, his arrogance, coldness, and decisiveness, such as the difference, make people unable to take their eyes off. Even when the strong are young and weak, they are not the same. There is no doubt that Chu Ran has the potential and demeanor of a strong man.
Such a person either has an enmity to take advantage of his weakness to kill him, or he must not offend a good fate like Xu Wenshan.
Chu Ran accepted Xu Wenshan's map, but he didn't expect to get into a big trouble for himself in the end, in his later words, it was really a big loss! Ten days later, the secret realm of the Immortal Spirit Valley was opened.
Chu Ran stood at the entrance of the secret realm, and rarely changed his clothes, dressed in black and red, with his hair tied with a belt, snow skin and red lips, and he was extremely handsome. His expression was clear, standing in the crowd, he looked up, his eyes looked forward, and his expression was thoughtful.
"Did he find it?" someone in the crowd heard a voice into his ear canal.
"Impossible, how can you find out at such a distance. However, it is better to have a heart, so as not to startle the snake and miss the big thing. The man replied.
A quarter of an hour later, the secret realm opened.
Chu Ran entered the secret realm teleportation array with the Ten Thousand Immortal Order, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a boundless sea of sand in front of him.
Chu Ran looked at this sea of sand, his expression was stunned, and he was extremely surprised. The fairy spirit valley, which is known as the medicine valley, is actually a sea of sand? What are you teasing me? The sea of sand is full of sand, barren and dry, the sun is scorching, and not a single grass grows, this is the fairy spirit valley, Chu Ran will not believe it if he has not seen it.
There are four entrances to the Fairy Spirit Valley, and the other three are all valleys full of green grass, birds, and flowers, but this last entrance is a barren and dangerous sea of sand where no grass grows. For thousands of years, all the monks who entered the Immortal Spirit Gu were teleported into the other three valley entrances, and few people were teleported to the Sand Sea, so the outside world only knew that there were three entrances to the Fairy Spirit Valley, and few people knew about the existence of the Sand Sea.
Should Chu Ran be a big explosion of character?Or should he be in arrears in his previous life, and he was teleported to such a dangerous place for the first time he entered the Immortal Spirit Valley. Chu Ran was teleported to the sea of sand, and his mood was probably not very good. The fairy spirit valley in his imagination is full of fairy grass, pick it casually, and the mountain is full of fairy fruit spirit beasts, and you can eat it casually. That's why he didn't prepare water to eat at all. But the reality is that the sun is scorching overhead, Chu Ran is dizzy, there is no grass, and the water source is dry. Except for Huang Shaman, there is nothing else.
Chu Ran frowned, walking on the sea of sand, the yellow sand under his feet was hot, his complexion was pale, and the corners of his lips were chapped. The climate of the Sand Sea was harsh, and ordinary monks couldn't bear it, let alone Chu Ran's weak physique.
I have to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, Chu Ran raised his head and looked ahead, the boundless yellow sand desert. "Ahem...... Chu Ran couldn't help but cough a few times, and bright red blood oozed from the corners of his lips. The faint smell of blood permeated the air, and the smell was extremely faint, but in this barren and harsh sea of sand, it was a wonderful smell that made people dizzy and intoxicated.
Chu Ran stopped walking, he couldn't walk anymore, so he found a rock everywhere and sat down lazily. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, in order to recuperate. The sun is scorching overhead, and the sea of sand ahead...... Undulating, constantly arching, stirring, what is that?
The speed was extremely fast, approaching Chu Ran.
stopped ten feet away from Chu Ran, and then with a bang, a giant python came out from under the sand. The giant python stared at Chu Ran in front of it fiercely and ferociously, and burst out violently, opening its huge mouth and swallowing it towards Chu Ran.
Chu Ran was extremely tired and looked tired, he only raised his hand slightly, a brilliant sword light flashed, and a stream of blood spurted out!
Boom!
The giant python fell on the hot desert, its huge vertical eyes open, as if it were dead.
Chu Ran withdrew his sword, looked at the dead python, got up lazily, and walked over in a few steps. He slowly squatted down, his long coat mopping the floor, he lowered his head, and sucked the snake's blood right on the wound of Fang Cai's sword.
Like a greedy blood clan, eager but elegant and noble sucking snake blood, the taste of snake blood is not good, with a fishy smell, but for Chu Ranlai, who urgently needs to replenish water and aura at this moment, it is as sweet as nectar.
Ru Mao drinks blood, like primitive beasts, just to survive.
When Jing Qiushui came, he saw such a scene.
An elegant, beautiful and wild beast, following the instinct of survival, devouring his blood and seizing life in exchange for life.
Sensing that someone was approaching, Chu Ran stopped sucking blood, looked up and looked back, black hair and ink eyes, pale skin like snow, red lips stained with bright blood, he stretched out his tongue and licked the snake blood at the corner of his lips, and then rolled his tongue and swallowed his mouth
Jing Qiushui's breathing suddenly suffocated, and he couldn't take his eyes off the dangerous demon-like black-haired boy.
Thick color, clear and feminine, under the scorching sun, like a red plum in the ice and snow, red plum on the snow, it is really beautiful!
"Are you ......" Jing Qiushui's voice was hoarse, "Are you a plum blossom demon?"
Chu Ran's expression turned cold all of a sudden, stunned Whoever is pointed at your nose You are a goblin, you will be in an unhappy mood!
He said in a cold voice, "Where am I like a demon clan?"
Jing Qiushui looked at him with a gaze that you want to be a goblin everywhere.
"It's rare and weird! It's not just the demon clan that drinks blood, can you find water in this ghost place?" Chu Ran said coldly.
Looking at the young man's cold expression, it was like a basin of cold water poured down from his head, extinguishing the secret and hot feelings in Jing Qiushui's heart, he took out a kettle and said to Chu Ran: "If you don't mind, you can drink mine." ”
Seeing this, Chu Ran was not polite and said, "Thank you." ”
Reach out and take it and put it in your storage bag.
"......" Jing Qiushui.
I'm just a kettle!
In the end, the thin-skinned Jing Qiushui, Jing Shaoxia was still embarrassed to ask for his kettle.
Chu Ran said: "You invite me to drink water, and I will eat meat for you, so you don't have to be polite to me." ”
Jing Qiushui smiled awkwardly, I just want you to return my kettle!
In the end, Jing Qiushui still stayed, in his words, it was fate to meet a living person in this ghost place where birds don't!
Chu Ran skillfully cut off a large piece of snake meat with a dagger, grilled it over a fire, and sprinkled spices and seasonings. It's simple, but it tastes good. Jing Qiushui tasted it politely, but he looked surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist, good craftsmanship." ”
When Chu Ran heard this, he glanced at him, and said with a light expression: "Don't dare, it's just barbecue, it's the simplest, and there is no skill at all." ”
Jing Qiushui, who could even roast barbecue meat in the wild, was silent, no longer talking, bowing his head and eating his barbecue silently, this person who exudes contempt for you and other noble scholars is simply too hurtful to self-esteem.
Chu Ran took out two pots of wine from the storage bag, threw one pot to Jing Qiushui, and said, "Brother Jing, do you know, what kind of place is this?"
Jing Qiushui took his kettle and said, "Fellow Daoist, you actually bring wine without water!"
When Chu Ran heard this, he turned his head to look at him and said, "I thought this was the Immortal Spirit Valley." ”
Jing Qiushui looked surprised and said, "You were teleported here randomly?"
"Yes. Chu Ran said.
"You're in luck. "Jingqiu Waterway.
Chu Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't think it's good luck, in this ghost place, there is not even a single grass cherry."
Jing Qiushui groaned for a long time and said, "Brother Dao, it's the first time you've come to Immortal Spirit Valley, right?"
"Hmm. Chu Ran said.
"Do you know, there are four entrances to the Fairy Spirit Valley, and there are only three rumors in the outside world, do you know why?"
"This is the fourth entrance?" Chu Ran said instead of answering.
"Exactly. "Jingqiu Shuidao," this fourth entrance is not open, so it is not counted in the outside world and can only be entered through a special way, you are lucky, this rare opportunity to be teleported to the sand sea once in a thousand years was actually met by you. ”
Chu Ran's expression was faint when he heard this, he lowered his eyes and didn't speak.
Jing Qiushui observed his expression from the side, and said half-loudly, "You must be very strange, why did I enter the sand sea. ”
Chu Ran didn't answer when he heard this, his expression was still faint and indifferent. One can't help but wonder if he is obedient.
Jing Qiushui secretly said in his heart, this young man is really calm, if it is someone else, it will be all a way to come and ask. He continued, "Danger and opportunity coexist, and where danger often hides great opportunities. ”
He said: "There is a dense area in the sand sea, in which grows marrow washing grass. I have come here for this marrow cleansing herb. ”
Hearing this, Chu Ran raised his head and looked at him with dark eyes, "Washing the marrow grass?"
Jing Qiushui looked at the pair of dark and dark eyes without a trace of impurities, like grapes, took a breath, and said, "Exactly." ”
After Chu Ran heard this, he still didn't answer, and his expression was indifferent.
Jing Qiushui looked at his face and muttered more and more in his heart, is this tempting?
Washing the marrow, as the name suggests, can wash the marrow and cut the bones, eliminate the magazines in the body, purify the bloodline, and be reborn. It is an extremely precious and rare herb, and it is a great opportunity for monks.
Is Chu Ran really unmotivated? Of course not, Chu Ran is not just tempted, it is inevitable, and he must not let it go, if his is true. Chu Ran's physique is weak, and his body contains highly toxic substances, and the marrow washing herb can help him eliminate some toxins from his body, thereby enhancing his physique.
Chu Ran is cautious and cunning, but this Jing Qiushui is strange, eager and eccentric, and has to be guarded against. Put yourself in his shoes, if he knew of such a great opportunity, would he tell a stranger of unknown origin? Surely not, a fool would, or else he would have other intentions. This Jing Qiushui is not a fool, it must have other intentions.
Chu Ran lowered his eyes, and his black eyelashes covered the look under his eyes.
Jing Qiuyu waited for a while, and seeing that he was still indifferent, he finally couldn't help it, and said: "I am weak alone, and when I meet a fellow Daoist in this desolate place, it is fate." Would you like to go with me?
When Chu Ran heard this, he still didn't move, just sat there coldly.
After a long time, Jing Qiuyu's heart was bottomless, and he said slowly: "Why not." ”
When Jing Qiuyu heard his words, he was a little excited in his heart, this is too difficult to do! Cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion, it is difficult to guess. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, after thousands of years, could it be that the marrow washing grass was no longer valuable? Why did this son react so coldly? Thinking that back then, they were able to fight to the death for a marrow washing grass.
As everyone knows, it is precisely because it is so valuable that people wonder what your intentions are.
Thousands of years have passed, Jing Daojun, your cultivation has risen, and this IQ has regressed.
