Chapter 31: Extracting the Elixir
The sun soon slowly sank from the western mountains, and the night spread silently, and soon the entire sky was plunged into darkness. The bright moonlight www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion slowly projected its brilliance, reflecting on the quiet earth, as if covered with a layer of silver frost.
The sky was full of stars, and those faint starlight penetrated through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, sandwiched with the bright moonlight, reflecting on Murong Yan's beautiful face, adding a touch of charm to her
Ye Jintian and the others picked up some dry wood and built a bonfire, then sat cross-legged and began to meditate to recuperate.
Ye Jintian slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Murong Yan staring at him in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable on his face. Murong Yan saw Ye Jintian open his eyes and hurriedly turned his head to the other side.
After a long time, Murong Yan said slowly: "What's the matter with you and that leaf, why didn't she accompany you to Guining Sect?" ”
Ye Jintian didn't expect Murong Yan to suddenly ask himself this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to explain casually: "I haven't seen her for a long time for some reasons, and I'm afraid I won't see each other again in the future." ”
"Oh, that's a shame. Seeing that you are so infatuated, she must be a good girl. Murong Yan smiled and said.
"She is indeed a good girl, to be honest, she is indeed no match for you in terms of appearance, but now in my heart there is really no one who can take her place." Ye Jintian nodded and said.
When Murong Yan heard this, she didn't know what she was feeling in her heart, and when she heard Ye Jintian say that she was beautiful, she was still a little happy in her heart, but when she heard that Ye Jintian still didn't put down the leaves, she seemed to be a little sad.
But she quickly returned to her normal complexion and said, "It's okay, as long as you work hard to cultivate, you will still have a chance in the future." A lot of things have to be fought for on your own! ”
"A lot of things have to be fought for on your own." After Murong Yan finished speaking, she silently read these words again in her heart, as if these words touched her thoughts again.
"Some things are not so simple, time passes, let the past pass, I don't want to disturb her life anymore." Ye Jintian smiled faintly and said.
"Your back really looks like her." After speaking, Ye Jintian added.
Murong Yan smiled and did not answer. It's just that there is a sour feeling in my heart again: the more similar it is, the more likely you are to think of her, isn't it?
The two chatted like this, because it was only the two of them, and they had experienced some things before, so the strangeness between the two disappeared at this time, and they gradually became acquainted.
After talking, Ye Jintian knew that Murong Yan came from a family about the same size as the Lin family, and with the expectations of her family, she also had to enter the Guining Sect. Murong Yan is usually very cold and talks very little, which has nothing to do with her arrogant personality, with the expectations of the clansmen, no matter what, she has to find a way to enter the inner gate of Guining Sect, otherwise she will not have the face to go back.
Although Ye Jintian didn't usually say much, his desire to enter the inner gate of the Guining Sect was stronger than anyone else. After all, it took him more than ten years to get the opportunity to cultivate, so he naturally cherished it more than anyone else.
After these conversations, the idea of the two of them to pick the elixir is also more firm, and with the opportunity, it is natural to seize it, although there are some risks, but after all, they still have to give it a try.
In the second half of the night, Murong Yan almost kept telling Ye Jintian about the elixir. After half a night of explanation, Ye Jintian also had a preliminary understanding of the elixir.
Elixirs are divided into grades one to nine, with the lowest grade and the highest grade ninth. Of course, each type of elixir has different effects and value due to different varieties. Even the lowest first-grade elixir was extremely rare, and it was also extremely helpful for their spiritual cultivation stage. If they were able to extract some elixirs that would help them cultivate, it would not be a problem for their cultivation to instantly increase by a few levels.
The elixirs they saw in the swamp Murong Yan judged that they were all first-class elixirs, after all, the environment in which second-class elixirs grew was even harsher, and of course it was not ruled out that there were no second-class elixirs there.
The next day, the sun slowly rose in the east, and the earth returned to light. This bamboo forest was also safe overnight, and there were no demon beasts to harass it.
The bonfire had now completely burned to ashes, and when the breeze blew, it kicked up dust.
"Let's go, now let's go see what's going on there." Ye Jintian got up and patted the dust on his gray shirt and said.
Murong Yan got up and tidied up her green dress, and then walked towards the swamp with Ye Jintian.
With yesterday's experience, they walked for an hour to the swamp.
The swamp was still silent, the banyan tree was lazily stretching its roots, and the elixir herbs were blooming with colorful flowers, all the same as yesterday.
If it weren't for yesterday's experience, I'm afraid Ye Jintian and the others would still not have thought that there were many demon beasts hidden in the water of the lake when they saw this scene.
Shout!
Ye Jintian flicked his fingers, and a fire attribute energy shot out from the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, hitting the surface of the water, and bursting into a splash.
The originally calm water surface suddenly rippled, and in the blink of an eye, many demon beasts emerged from the bottom of the water. Those demon beasts look like fish but not fish, like turtles and not turtles, but looking at their appearance of surging back and forth in the water is extremely fierce.
"Fortunately, most of them are demon beasts in the spirit stage, and there are not many in the spirit stage." This time, Ye Jintian and Murong Yan observed for a long time, and finally figured out the demon beast cultivation in the water.
"However, those elixirs are all grown in the center of the lake, and our cultivation has not reached the spirit king stage, so we can't fly in the sky, so if we want to get it, we can only use those banyan trees. But with demon beasts guarding below, it's really hard to start. Murong Yan looked at the center of the lake without any foothold, frowned, and said.
Even though they can dive, there are so many demon beasts in the water, they naturally don't dare to risk their lives.
"Then I'll stop the demon beast later, and you take the opportunity to get the elixir." Ye Jintian pondered for a moment before he said.
"Hmm." Murong Yan had seen the strength that Ye Jintian had shown before, and she naturally had no opinion on his proposal.
"But even with the help of the banyan tree closest to the center of the lake, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick any elixir, the branches of the banyan tree are some distance from the center of the lake." Looking at the environment in front of her, Murong Yan said again.
Ye Jintian looked around, and suddenly saw the thin vines wrapped around the banyan tree, his face was happy, and he said, "There is a way." ”
Then, Ye Jintian took some thin vines from the banyan tree, tried the toughness, and then connected them, and said: "Later, you will use this to wrap your waist, and the other end will be tied to the banyan tree, and when I block the demon beast for you, you will take the opportunity to pick the elixir." ”
Murong Yan nodded, and agreed.
The two climbed onto the banyan tree and tied the long vine to a branch of the banyan tree that stretched out, while Murong Yan wrapped the other end around his waist.
The surface of the lake was full of many elixirs, but only a small part of the banyan tree they were in could get, so they had to be completely prepared, otherwise they would lose more than they would gain if they were destroyed by the demon beasts.
Seeing that Murong Yan was ready, Ye Jintian's eyes narrowed, and his right hand immediately urged the fire attribute spiritual power to condense a three-foot-long and two-finger wide fire attribute spiritual power sword, and then saw him swing the long sword in his hand and slash at the demon beasts around the elixir under the banyan tree.
A series of small peaks condensed by fire-attribute sword qi flew out of the sword in an instant, pressing straight towards the water surface.
The first move of the Triple Xuanhuo Sword used by Ye Jintian was more than enough to deal with the demon beasts in the early stage of the spirit warrior, and most of the demon beasts in the water were cultivators in the spirit stage, and they were quickly pressed into the water, and some were directly killed by the rich sword qi.
Ye Jintian's first wave of attacks quickly created a short blank space for the elixir, and he pointed ahead and said, "It's now, quick!" ”
Murong Yan kicked the branch of the banyan tree fiercely, and her whole body flew down like a swing. When he flew to the lowest point, he saw Murong Yan waving his hands again and again, and in the blink of an eye, he grabbed some elixir spirit grass in his hand.
With the inertia, Murong Yan flew from the lowest point to the highest point at the other end. At this time, the surrounding demon beasts came up again. Seeing this, Ye Jintian slashed out a few more sword qi at those demon beasts, and directly cut those demon beasts on the water into several sections.
The smell of blood soon filled the air over the lake.
When Murong Yan fell back from the highest point to the lowest point, she grabbed a few more elixir spirit herbs.
So repeatedly, one person stopped the demon beast, the other picked the elixir and spirit grass, and in a few breaths, all the elixir and spirit grass that Murong Yan could reach were held in her arms.
Seeing that he couldn't reach other elixir spirit grasses, after Ye Jintian sent out a move to attack and repel those demon beasts, Ye Jintian hurriedly pulled Murong Yan up.
Murong Yan stood on the tree again, and let out a long breath, she had just seen many demon beasts passing under her, and she was still a little scared in her heart.
"You put it in the bag first." Murong Yan sent a bundle of elixir spirit grass in her hand to Ye Jintian and said.
Ye Jintian took the elixir spirit grass and quickly put them in the Xu Yu bag.
The demon beasts in the lake were extremely restless at this time, Ye Jintian and the others not only took away the elixir spirit grass that originally belonged to them in the lake, but also killed and injured many of their companions, they jumped out of the water one by one, obviously wanting to kill Ye Jintian and the others.
If one or two demon beasts were like this, Ye Jintian and the others didn't think anything, but with hundreds of demon beasts in the entire lake making such a move at the same time, the scene was a little palpitating.
But fortunately, although those demon beasts are fierce, they can't leave the water according to their current cultivation, otherwise Ye Jintian and the others would only have to escape at this time.
"Withdraw? Looking at this scene, I am afraid that other elixir spirit herbs will not have a chance to take it. Ye Jintian looked at the demon beasts in the lake that were vying to jump out of the water like fierce fish, and said.
"That's all there is to it." Murong Yan nodded, and there seemed to be a little unwillingness on her face.
Ye Jintian and the others each sighed, intending to leave. Although they didn't take all the elixir spirit grasses away, there were twenty or thirty of them in that bundle, although they were only first-class elixir spirit grasses, they could also raise their cultivation to a higher level.
At this moment, a few bubbles suddenly appeared on the water surface of the banyan tree about twenty zhang away from Ye Jintian and the others, and then a bud the size of a human head emerged from it.
Ye Jintian and the others, who were about to leave, saw this scene, and couldn't help but stop and stood on the banyan tree to look at the bud.
The bud slowly broke away from the water, and at the lower end of the white and pink bud was supported by a green stem as thick as a child's arm. When the bud was half a man's height above the water, there were two more semicircular green leaves three feet wide on the water.
Looking at the green leaves and buds, Murong Yan looked incredulous: "That's, it turned out to be the second-class elixir Nine Hole Xuanxin Lotus!" ”
