After a while, Lao Dao was hit by another cold fog. This time, he was frozen into an ice sculpture and couldn't move.

"Bang!"

The white snake flicked its tail and slapped the old road twenty meters away...... As soon as he landed, the ice on his body finally cracked.

Lao Dao spat out a mouthful of blood, glanced at the white snake in horror, and then turned around and fled after enduring the pain.

The white snake lazily chased after it and swam to Li Xiang's side......

At this time, Li Xiang finally had a little frightened, looked at the huge body of the white snake and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaobai, you ...... Can it be changed back to the way it used to be? ”

After all, such a big snake looks really scary......

Fortunately, the white snake understood, nodded obediently, and turned into a cute little white snake more than a foot long.

Seeing this, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, then turned over happily, ran to the left not far away and picked up the sword that Lao Dao had flown away.

At a glance, you can see that this is not an ordinary sword, the hilt and body of the sword are engraved with Taoist runes, and it is thought to be a magic sword.

Li Xiang was about to embark on the path of cultivation, which came in handy.

After experiencing this turmoil, Li Xiang became much more cautious next, after all, the man said that there were a few masters in the mountains who were catching white snakes.

Fortunately, the rest of the wind was calm......

Three days later, he finally collected all the other herbs, including the Broken Intestine Grass, but he couldn't find the withered blood vine.

In fact, Li Xiang also heard of the "withered blood vine" for the first time, including the memory of the original owner.

However, there is a record in Shennong's Materia Medica, describing its characteristics and a simplified diagram.

But that's all there is to it, and it's unknown exactly where it grows. In case, Qingcheng Mountain does not have this herb at all, where can I find it?

I'm scared to death......

I continued to search for two days, but still found nothing.

In desperation, Li Xiang summoned the white snake with a hint of luck and drew the shape of a withered blood vine on the ground.

"Xiaobai, take a closer look, have you ever seen this herb?"

The white snake tilted its head and looked.

Changed direction and looked again...... His eyes suddenly lit up.

Got a play?

Li Xiang's heart jumped.

Sure enough, the white snake flew into the air and walked forward for a while, and then stopped to look at Li Xiang, as if signaling him to follow.

"Haha, Xiaobai is good."

Follow Xiaobai all the way...... Wade through mountains and rivers, through dense forests.

After a difficult trek for more than a day, the white snake finally stopped in a ravine deep in the belly of the mountain, looked around for a while, and then happily flew to a large protruding rock and nodded at Li Xiang.

Got it?

Li Xiang hurriedly rushed over, climbed a short distance from the other side, and looked at the ......

"Haha, that's it, that's it!"

This is a perennial herbaceous poisonous ivy that resembles a vine but not a vine, and is much more toxic than the discolored Broken Intestine Grass.

According to the Materia Medica, once its juice touches the human body, it will soak into the skin, and at most an hour, the person will lose water and die, looking like a dried corpse.

It's the same with animals...... Hence the name Withered Blood Vine.

However, just like arsenic, it is a well-known poison, but at the same time, it is a good medicine for carbuncles, sores, cold phlegm, asthma and other symptoms, depending on how you use it.

There are a total of three withered blood vines growing here, and Li Xiang carefully collected two of them, leaving one to grow here and one for later use.

"Okay, little white ......"

After successfully collecting it, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the white snake.

"Sizzle......"

The white snake spat out the letter, turned his head, and motioned for Li Xiang to continue following it.

Led by it, about half an hour later, they came to the mouth of a hidden cave.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, I could feel a cold breath coming to my face......

Seeing the white snake fall to the ground and swim happily into the cave, Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and followed suit.

At the same time, I was thinking, could it be that this is the cave where it cultivates?

The hole is not very large, and you have to bend down to get into it. But the more you go inside, the more spacious it becomes, and there is a faint light in the cave, and you can see that there are many stone stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave. Moreover, there is a dark river that flows.

The temperature in the cave was very low, and if it weren't for Li Xiang's body having been quenched once, it was estimated that it would be a little unbearable.

But for snakes, it's a blessed place.

After about ten minutes of walking, the light became brighter and brighter. After turning a corner, another hole appeared in front of me.

"Sizzle......"

The white snake turned around, spat out the letter, and then swam out of the cave in a puff of smoke.

"Oh my God, is this a fairy scene?"

As soon as he got out of the cave, Li Xiang's eyes straightened.

In front of him, there was a small valley surrounded by mountains.

The sky was filled with layers of clouds and mist, submerging the peaks. In the valley, flowers are blooming, red, white, purple, and blue...... Colorful.

There is a small lake in the middle, about a dozen acres in size.

The water is very clear, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the flowers on the shore, which looks very rippling and psychedelic.

There are quite a few birds flying around the lake...... It seems that they are not afraid of white snakes.

Or rather, the white snake won't hurt them at all.

"Xiaobai, you actually found such a treasure place?"

Li Xiang looked around in surprise...... It seems that there are no roads in the valley, and only this cave is the only entrance and exit.

The white snake swam to Li Xiang's feet and looked up at him with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiang didn't understand its signal.

The white snake swam two laps, and finally, made a sleeping position.

"Uh...... You...... You want me to sleep here? With you all the time? ”

Li Xiang even guessed.

Unexpectedly, he really guessed correctly, and the white snake flew into the air happily and nodded again and again.

Seeing this, Li Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly......

He analyzed that there were roughly two reasons why White Snake wanted him to stay: First, out of gratitude, he was reluctant to leave. Second, it likes Shennongding.

However, staying in the hinterland of the mountains for many years, Li Xiang is unwilling.

After all, he is a human being, and his lack of communication, experience, and experience in the world is not beneficial to his cultivation.

Including the demon, once the transformation is made, it still has to go through the Red Dust Tribulation, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve a positive result.

After thinking about it, Li Xiang couldn't help but say, "Xiaobai, I can't stay here, because I still have a lot of things to do when I go back."

And I will also cultivate in the future, just like you like to cultivate in the mountains, I like to cultivate in the human world.

But it's okay, I'll come to the mountains often to see you in the future......"

White Snake may not be able to fully understand his words, but he knows it to the effect, so he looks a little disappointed.

"Hehe, if it's not like this, I'll stay with you here for a few days, okay?"

Hearing this, the white snake's mood improved a lot, flew to Li Xiang, and raised his head and rubbed his face kissingly.

Ordinary snakes will have a unique snakey smell.

But Xiaobai didn't, but there was a faint, elegant fragrance like an empty valley orchid, which smelled refreshing.

Maybe it's because of the innate aliens, or maybe it's because after cultivating to refinement, he was reborn and a qualitative change occurred......
