Chapter 12: The Valley of the Stygian Serpent

After entering the Hall of Transmission of Gong, he did not encounter the cultivation method of the abusive disciples of the ghost spirit son as he imagined, but met Su Wan'er, who was wearing strong makeup.

She carried a quiver on her shoulder, a longbow in her hand, and posed as she was going out.

"Senior Sister Su, why are you here?" Chu Yunfeng asked in surprise.

"Waiting for you!" Su Wan'er smiled playfully, then handed the longbow to Chu Yunfeng, "Take it! Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

Chu Yunfeng looked stunned.

"Oh, let's go! Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, old man handed you over to me. ”

Su Wan'er stretched out her palm and pushed Chu Yunfeng towards the outside of the hall.

It turned out that Chu Yunfeng's tempering a few days ago had only initially strengthened his physique and planted a seed for cultivating the alchemy technique in the future.

If you want to meet the requirements of the middle stage of vitality, you also need to take a medicine that strengthens the foundation and cultivates the yuan - the snake spirit fruit.

The snake spirit fruit is cold and cold, and it is mostly produced near the snake's den.

Fifty miles away from the Yunxiao Immortal Sect, there is a gathering place of snakes, called the Valley of the Hidden Snake.

There are more than 100 species of snakes living in the Dark Snake Valley, as well as all kinds of snake elixirs, and many sect disciples and cultivators will come here to find opportunities.

Just as Su Wan'er and Chu Yunfeng were leaving the sect, a man dressed as a miscellaneous disciple came to a mountain called Yuchang Peak in the outer gate.

"Senior Brother Dong, that Chu Yunfeng has left the sect, and there is a woman next to him. Judging by their whereabouts, they should be heading to the Valley of the Snake Underworld. ”

"Oh?"

Dong Yuanshun raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Yes! It seems that he wants to find the snake spirit fruit, and he wants to break through to the middle stage of the vitality within a month. When the time comes, you will be able to compete with me on the stage of life and death. ”

Dong Yuanshun sat on the chair and tapped his index finger on the table from time to time.

"My brother is also in the Snake Valley, you send him a message on my behalf, let him find an opportunity..."Dong Yuanshun made a clicking motion with his hand, "Hmph! A boy who doesn't know anything wants to fight me to the death, it's really overwhelming!"

.........

Along the way, I met many disciples of the Yunxiao Immortal Sect, and wanted to invite Su Wan'er and Chu Yunfeng to go with her, but Su Wan'er refused for various reasons.

She is young, but she is not an innocent little girl who does not understand the world.

Most of these people are in the late stage of vitality, and I am afraid that their purpose is not pure.

Walking with it, even if you don't get used as cannon fodder, you will definitely not be able to share anything if it is beneficial.

When I came to the Snake Valley, it was already evening, but the outskirts of the Snake Valley were unusually lively.

Due to the abundant production of snake grains, there is an endless stream of monks coming and going, and over the years, a large market has been formed.

In the market, there are a variety of shops, dazzling.

Any store of a certain scale has a certain background. Either there is a sect as a backer, or there is a strong monk in charge.

The less powerful scattered cultivation is mainly based on stalls. However, they are the most numerous.

Chu Yunfeng left the sect for the first time, and after entering Fang City, he was like a hillbilly entering the metropolis, constantly asking Su Wan'er this and that.

Whether it was the dress of the various sects and sects, or the strange spiritual objects on the stalls, he was full of curiosity.

Fortunately, Su Wan'er was extremely patient and answered his questions one by one.

At the same time, Su Wan'er purchased some things to be used to enter the Snake Valley from time to time, such as detoxification pills, Yan Xi Cao, insect repellent powder, and open flint stones.

These low-level materials can be seen everywhere in the stalls of scattered cultivation, and they are of high quality and low price.

"Don't underestimate loose cultivation! They have a huge base, and apart from the fact that their cultivation resources are scarcer than those of the sect's disciples, their qualifications are not bad at all. Su Wan'er was like a senior sister, and instructed, "Moreover, many masters are from scattered cultivation. ”

While talking, the two walked into a small shop called Wuxingpu.

In the background of the small shop, there is a small sect called the Great Yan Sect, which often sells some formations, pills, blades and other materials that the big sects look down on, and is quite popular with people who come and go for casual cultivation.

Among them, the most famous is the Five Elements Mausoleum Array.

The Five Elements Lingyue Formation is a small formation of the Yellow Rank low-level, and its main role is to defend itself.

The advantage of this formation is that it does not have any requirements for the cultivation of the person who arranges the formation, and only needs to place the spirit stone.

The Five Elements Lingyue Array manufactured by the Great Yan Sect, in addition to being faster in arranging the array, had to achieve the same defensive power, which was two percent less than the number of spirit stones consumed by similar products from other families.

These two spirit stones are simply a great blessing for people with poor resources.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

In the five-element shop, personnel, exhibition racks, trial venues, etc. should be had.

The formation, elixir, and blade are displayed in three areas, and each area has a special person responsible for reception.

When I came to the formation area, rows of colorful discs were neatly displayed.

These are all arrays, and with just a simple trick, you can easily arrange the corresponding formations.

"Five Elements Lingyue Array, six. ”

Su Wan'er said her needs cleanly, and she didn't drag her feet at all.

"Okay. ”

The waitress next to her bent down slightly and nodded, but she didn't move to get the array plate.

Chu Yunfeng was surprised, but seeing Su Wan'er's usual expression, he chose two different formations one after another.

"That's all. ”

It seems that there is nothing to buy, Su Wan'er said in a green voice.

"Slow down!"

The waitress saluted again and said politely.

Su Wan'er nodded, turned around and walked towards the door, followed by Chu Yunfeng.

When I came to the door, someone immediately handed me a delicate storage bag.

Su Wan'er also took out a storage bag, and after exchanging it with the visitor, she stepped out of the store.

"That's it?"

As soon as he walked out of the store, Chu Yunfeng's problem came.

Su Wan'er smiled and said, "Do you feel very stiff and have a bad experience?"

"Yes, there is very little communication in the whole trading process, and it is very rigid. ”

Chu Yunfeng said what he thought.

Even if he didn't say it, Su Wan'er could guess this.

"In this market, the formation of the Great Yan Sect has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the prices are transparent. Everyone comes in, knowing exactly what they want, and they're ready. If you only buy the formation, you only need to read it on the spot, determine the quantity, pay the money with one hand, and deliver it with the other. If you want to buy something outside of the formation, you need to trade it normally. ”

"I see. ”

Chu Yunfeng said suddenly.

Looking back at the inside of the store, sure enough, as Su Wan'er said, the customers who only bought the array plate were delivered the spirit stones when they left, and the others were delivered on the spot in the corresponding area.

Glancing back at the crowd, he realized how rare he was.

This kind of trading method seems impersonal, but in fact, it greatly saves trading time.

As for etiquette, it is completely unnecessary.

On the one hand, the people who came here to buy the array plate were all low-level casual cultivators with no background, and although the Great Yan Sect was a small sect, there was no need to nod to these people.

On the other hand, the two sides are trading at equal value, each taking what he needs, and no one is inferior to the other.

After buying all kinds of items, the two did not enter the Snake Valley immediately, but came to a mountain villa belonging to the Yunxiao Immortal Sect.

Within the villa, there are many cultivation caves for the disciples of this sect to cultivate, and only a small number of them are rented out to the outside world.

Su Wan'er paid a small amount of spirit stones and asked the deacon disciples of the villa to arrange a small cave mansion.

The deacon's disciples knew from the way they were dressed that they were disciples of their own sect, and they were not surprised that they only rented a small cave.

Many disciples with a meager net worth often rent a cave mansion together.

"Senior Brother Deacon, why are there so many more people entering and leaving the Snake Valley today than before?"

On the way to the cave, Su Wan'er asked the deacon disciple who led the way.

Perhaps because she was in the same sect, the deacon disciple did not slack off because she was a miscellaneous disciple.

"Senior sister doesn't know, two days ago, someone found snake spirit ginseng in the snake valley, and many disciples of the sect came for this. ”

"What?

Su Wan'er exclaimed.

Snake spirit ginseng, like the snake spirit fruit, has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, but its medicinal effect is more than several times that of the snake spirit fruit.

Especially for the alleviation of injuries and the stability of cultivation, the effect of snake ginseng is unsurpassed under the yellow elixir.

Here is one point to be explained, the pills circulating on the market today are all non-grade, or they are all mortal.

After surpassing the mortal products, there are yellow products, Xuan products, earth products and heavenly products.

An ordinary Huangpin pill, even in a sect like the Yunxiao Immortal Sect, only an elder-level person can afford to use it.

And that's just one of them.

Second, and most coveted, snake ginseng can also improve the qualifications of monks. The best stage for taking snake ginseng is the Yuan Qi realm, and the Gang Qi realm is also possible, but the effect is much worse.

Even so, snake ginseng is also a legendary thing that can not be found.

"That's right!! ”

For this deacon disciple, taking snake ginseng is a very luxurious thing.

Even if you don't take it, you can exchange it for other cultivation resources.

"Senior Brother Deacon, I don't know where I can find this snake spirit ginseng?"

Chu Yunfeng interjected and asked.

The junior brother laughed. If I knew where to find it, would I still be here on an errand?"

The deacon disciples had already noticed Chu Yunfeng.

A disciple in the early stage of vitality, but dressed in the clothes of an outer disciple, most of them have a backstage.

However, it is said that the place where the snake ginseng was first found was near the Wolgyek Spring. This is the formation jade talisman and how to use it, junior sister, please put it away. ”

When he came to the door of a cave, the deacon disciple stopped and said.

"Thank you, brother!

Su Wan'er thanked her.

After the deacon's disciples left, Su Wan'er put the jade talisman in the palm of her hand, and after conveying a trace of yuan power, the jade talisman was blue and flourished, hovering in the air for a while, and disappeared into the cave.

"Squeak!"

After a few breaths, the door of the cave opened, and the two walked in one after the other.

After a stick of incense, the two of them simply ate something, and then Su Wan'er took out a map of the Snake Valley.

"Moon Creek Spring... in this location. ”

Su Wan'er stretched out her index finger and pointed to a location on the map.

"What a coincidence! Our first stop was also Yuexi Spring. ”

Yuexi Spring is located at the junction of the inner and outer parts of the Snake Valley. On its water surface, a thick poisonous mist floats all year round, which is the first barrier of the Stygian Snake Valley.

Fortunately, the side effects of poison gas are not very large, and they can be resisted by taking the detoxification pill.

This is only for the poisonous gas on the periphery, if you need to cross the Moon Creek Spring, it is best to have Yanxi Grass in your mouth.

The reason why the first destination was set at Yuexi Spring was because Chu Yunfeng needed to cultivate the Ten Thousand Stone Heart Sutra with the help of poisonous gas.

It sounds a little unbelievable, but the Ten Thousand Stone Heart Sutra, as an alchemy technique handed down from ancient times, must have its own reason.
