The edge of the gray and white forest is an area that has been completely cleared, and there are basically no traces of demon beasts here. Of course, because it has been reclaimed very thoroughly, it is also very difficult to find the Gray Soul Fruit and the White Spirit Flower here, so naturally there will be no monks here.

And because of the danger of the gray forest, there are almost no ordinary people other than monks here.

Ye Kong walked all the way quickly, because he didn't need to take care of others, so Ye Kong could run at full speed, and it didn't take long to reach the dividing line between the edge of the gray and white forest and the outer area.

Directly in front of him was a sea of flowers made entirely of white flowers.

The area of this white sea of flowers is not small, the depth is about 30 zhang, and the left and right ends are endless. However, Ye Kong knew that this sea of white spirit flowers bathed in the sun surrounded the entire gray-white forest in a circular line from north to south, dividing the entire gray-white forest into two areas, inside and outside, like a dividing line.

After crossing the nearly 100-meter-long sea of flowers, there is the outer area of the gray and white forest.

And starting from the outer area of the Gray and White Forest, the entire Gray and White Forest is no longer a safe place, and all kinds of monsters and spirits will begin to appear here. With Ye Kong's current strength, he can still deal with one or two of the weakest monsters, and if he encounters a monster equivalent to the strength of a Tongxuan monk, then Ye Kong will probably be able to change his body.

However, the goal of this trip was not to go deep into the gray and white forest, so Ye Kong naturally didn't plan to take risks.

The white spirit flower is a spiritual grass, a bit like a white peony, when it is not blooming, the bud is like a white peach, and when it blooms, the bud will bloom layer by layer, revealing the red stamen inside, and there will be a very faint fragrance. After the flowering period, the stamens will turn purple-black, and bear one to three purple-red flower seeds, and the edges of the petals will also be blackened, and gradually wither and decay within five to ten days.

The neutralizer materials that alchemists generally need are the juice extracted from these red stamens.

The materials Ye Kong needed were those purple flower seeds, and the petals that had turned black but had not yet withered.

This sea of white spirit flowers is full of immature white spirit flowers, and the white peach-shaped flowers swaying in the wind are full of a strange charm. Occasionally, I find a few flowers that have passed the flowering period, but unfortunately they are rotten.

Once the petals of the white spirit flower wither, the purple-red flower seeds inside the stamen will burst, and the fragrance of the previous flowering will also become a strong aroma.

The flower seeds burst and the aroma escaped, which means that the aura of the white spirit flower has been lost and can no longer be used in medicine.

After searching for most of the hour, Ye Kong didn't even find a white spirit flower that had just passed the flowering period but had not yet withered, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset and irritable in his heart. He glanced up at the sky, estimated the time, and sighed helplessly: "I still have some time to search for the Gray Soul Fruit in the middle, and then look for half an hour, if I haven't found it yet, I can only find another way." ”

I don't know if the reason for the flag was set up, Ye Kong really didn't find the white spirit flower that happened to be just past the flowering period for most of the next half an hour, which made him quite disappointed.

However, considering that if he couldn't return to Kongshan City before nightfall, he was afraid that it would cause some unnecessary trouble, so Ye Kong could only turn around and leave helplessly.

Along the way, he had to continue his search for the Grey Soul Fruit.

The ripe Grey Soul Fruit is a bit like a gray apple, with a black spiral texture on the surface that emits a faint fluorescence in a dark environment. The gray soul fruit that has passed the ripening stage is black throughout, and the black texture on the original skin will turn light gray, and it will not emit fluorescence, and when it is cut, it will emit a foul smell, and the flesh inside has basically turned into a viscous black liquid.

What Ye Kong wanted was a gray soul fruit that had passed the ripening stage but had not completely decayed.

Although he didn't find the White Spirit Flower on the other side of the sea of flowers, when he returned this time, he unexpectedly found three Gray Soul Fruits that had just passed the ripening stage.

Refining a furnace of Yin Soul Pill requires six gray soul fruits that have passed the ripening stage and twelve white spirit flowers that have also passed the flowering stage, in addition to this, six auxiliary materials, such as Yin powder, ghost face mushroom, Yin Tomb Sinking Water, White Spot Black Umbrella Mushroom, Corpse Knot Grass, and sun-dried Earth Yin Flower.

For the first three auxiliary materials, Ye Kong collected some in the tomb when he helped Liu Qi's sister and brother treat their illnesses before, and now there are left. Among the last three auxiliary materials, corpse knot grass is a weed that has been eroded by corpse gas; The shade flower is a kind of wildflower that grows in yin and moisture; These two materials are not even elixirs in the strict sense of the word, and their status in the monastic world is like the wildflowers and weeds that can be found everywhere in the secular world.

In the process of Ye Kong's search for the Gray Soul Fruit and the White Spirit Flower alone, he had already collected a lot, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

The only thing that is more troublesome is the white spot black umbrella mushroom.

This is a genuine real elixir, and it is also a third-order elixir, which is not much better than the elixirs such as jasper bamboo, thread flower, and snake soul grass. In terms of value alone, the white spotted black umbrella mushroom is much higher than the gray soul fruit in the ripe stage and the white spirit flower in the flowering stage.

Carefully put the three gray soul fruits into the preservation jade box that had been prepared in the morning, and then Ye Kong sealed the jade box and put it away.

After doing all this, Ye Kong straightened up, and then said, "What do you want to do after following me for so long?" ”

In the gray forest, there is only the sound of leaves rustling as the breeze blows, and beyond that, there is silence.

But Ye Kong was not deceived by this illusion, although he could not use many of the abilities of ghost cultivation after relying on it, but in terms of the ability to judge living creatures, he still maintained the unique sensitivity of ghost cultivation. He could feel that there was a living creature with very strong qi and blood within a hundred meters of him, judging from these basic characteristics, the other party should be a martial cultivator, and his strength should not be weak.

At least, Ye Kong felt that the other party's strength realm should be stronger than his own.

If it weren't for the hostility of the other party, Ye Kong wouldn't have stayed here at all. However, it was precisely because the other party did not show any hostility that Ye Kong would stop here, after all, the other party had been following him for half an hour, and it seemed that he had been following him since he came back from the White Spirit Flower Sea.

"Since you don't come out, then I'm leaving." Ye Kong waited for a while, but the position area where the qi and blood were strong remained unchanged, which made him frown.

However, when Ye Kong moved again, the living creature with vigorous blood moved with Ye Kong again. It's just that the distance between the two sides has been kept at a distance of 100 meters, in addition, once Ye Kong increases his movement speed, the other party will also increase his movement speed, and if Ye Kong slows down, the other party will also slow down his speed.

Ye Kong didn't think about turning around to find the other party, but when he turned back, that living creature would immediately distance himself from Ye Kong. The other party will not run away, but he will maintain a distance of 100 meters and go around in circles with Ye Kong, and he will always hide himself in the blind corner of Ye Kong's line of sight with the help of the cover of the gray and white tree, which makes Ye Kong feel quite tricky.

"Isn't it possible, someone released that monster?" After several successive tug-of-wars of changing direction, but never being able to close the distance with the other party, Ye Kong's heart couldn't help jumping, and suddenly remembered the secret hidden in the gray and white forest, "If that's the case, then this history is too much in advance, right?" …… No, this is the real world, not the game world anymore, so it is also very possible that someone will accidentally hit the trigger mechanism. ”

A chill suddenly rose from Ye Kong's body, which made him look at the direction of the living creature that had always kept a distance of 100 meters in a straight line from him, but because of the cover of the gray and white trees, he couldn't see the true face.

After thinking for a while, Ye Kong decided not to stay any longer, and also gave up his plan to continue looking for the Gray Soul Fruit and the White Spirit Flower, and turned around and immediately returned towards Empty Mountain City. If it was really the monster that Ye Kong had guessed, Ye Kong knew that with his current strength realm, he would not have the possibility of fighting that monster at all, and even if that monster was allowed to show a little hostility towards him, then he might not even be able to return to Empty Mountain City.

In a hurry without scruples, the speed of Ye Kong's return trip was naturally a little faster than before.

By the time Ye Kong rushed back to the Gray Gate Road in Kongshan City, the sky was completely dark, and at this time, there were many monks with relatively subtle strength around who were passing through the Gray Gate Road. The expressions on the faces of these people varied, some with a look of frustration and helplessness, some with a look of sadness, but also with a look of pride, excitement and other joy.

At this moment, Ye Kong was not in the mood to pay attention to and speculate on the harvest and encounters of these people in the gray and white forest today.

His mind was all on the Xu family brothers at the gray door.

After seeing Ye Kong's figure, these two couldn't help but show a little joy, and quickly greeted them. Following these two people, there are also Zhao De, Zhao Yu and Qingyi. Obviously, after the two brothers of the Xu family returned to the city, they told Xu Cheng about Xu Qianjun's gaffes, of course, it must also include the details of Ye Kong's strong killing, otherwise the Xu brothers would not be able to wait for them here in person.

But now, after Ye Kong and these people converged, the first thing he said made the Xu family brothers a little unsure of how to deal with it.

"What you were robbed of by the Luo family before, is it a golden compass?" Without any consideration, nor any tactfulness, Ye Kong asked directly to the point.

Zhao De and Zhao Yu didn't know what was going on, but looking at Ye Kong's eager look, they also chose to remain silent, but their eyes couldn't help but fall on the Xu family brothers. Only Qingyi walked to Ye Kong's side without saying a word, and then reached out and grabbed the corner of Ye Kong's clothes.

"Why are you ......" Xu Qianjun was really still a little young, and when Ye Kong asked him like this, he was a little breathless.

Xu Pocheng stretched out his hand to stop Xu Qianjun's words, and looked at Ye Kong's eyes thoughtfully. After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's just a golden compass." This is our ......."

"Don't tell me." Ye Kong stretched out his hand to stop Xu Pocheng's words, then arched his hands and said in a deep voice: "Farewell." ”

After that, he ignored the others, picked up Qingyi directly, and then walked quickly towards the gray door.

Zhao De and Zhao Yu were a little unclear, but after they confessed to the Xu family brothers, they quickly followed Ye Kong.

There were only Xu Pocheng and Xu Qianjun, a little dazed.

"Brother, they ......"

Xu Pocheng looked at Ye Kong's back without looking back, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and said: "Zhao Hu didn't see what we took before, but after being separated from us for such an afternoon, he came back and knew what we took away, I'm afraid he must have encountered something in the gray and white forest." …… Let's go, let's go back to the third uncle and ask the third uncle to come forward to negotiate with the Zhao family, which may be a great opportunity for our Xu family. ”
