Chapter 15: The Cliff Breaks the Medicine, and the Shadow Bursts Through
"Hey, why don't you want to be in a group with Senior Sister Bai Yanxue?"
Ao Yingyuan, who was standing in front of the chain bridge, looked at Li Yunuan with a stinky face for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask this sentence.
The mountain they were in at the moment was Tianxiang Peak, one of the seven main peaks of the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect.
Even in the Wanshi Sect, which is rich and abundant in aura, Tianxiang Peak is also the most blessed place, the mountains are round, the mountains and forests are lush, the aura in the mountains is vertical and horizontal, the water vapor is warm, and there are countless strange flowers and plants.
There are one deacon elder in the fire hall, three yuan ying, more than ten jin dan, and nearly thirty ordinary inner disciples, who can produce tens of thousands of low-grade pills every year, even if it is a rare pill of more than five grades, the output is stable and considerable.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Lihuo Hall of Alchemy and the Xuanyang Hall of Alchemy are the two major lands of the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect, and they are also the two treasure mountains in the eyes of the Evil Demon Outer Dao.
This time, the female disciples of Haoyueju were assigned by the senior brothers and sisters of Tianxiang Peak to collect spiritual herbs around the mountain, because the mountains are far-reaching, and the mountains are full of treasures, it is inevitable that there are people with bad intentions lurking, in addition to forming a group of every three people, some low-level spirit runes have been issued to each group, if you encounter danger, bite your fingers and smear the blood on the spirit runes to launch.
However, when they were grouped, something unexpected happened.
The female disciples of the outer sect all know that Li Yunuan and Bai Yanxue have been inseparable recently, and they also believe that they will be in a group. But when she was grouped, Li Yunuan suddenly proposed to be in a group with Liu Shiyun and Ao Yingyuan! Bai Yanxue, who was left behind, suddenly turned pale and full of disappointment, but she was a senior sister after all, and she was quickly relieved, and before leaving, she pulled Li Yunuan aside and told her a thousand words. is so concerned that even Ao Yingyuan, who is not used to seeing them too closely, also feels that Li Yunuan is a little too much.
So, as soon as she separated from the big team, Ao Yingyuan couldn't help but question Li Yunuan.
"Because ......"
Because he was in a group with Bai Yanxue, he would be killed by her!
An Tao's incident made Li Yunuan see Bai Yanxue clearly, she was gentle and considerate on the outside, but in fact she was extremely selfish, and she inadvertently told her secrets, which made her restless. Haoyue Ju was in full view, she didn't dare to start, so she could only pretend to be intimate and spy on herself. Tianxiang Peak is steep and steep, and when you walk with her, most of you will have an accident when collecting medicine, and you will fall into the cliff and die without a place to be buried.
But in the face of Ao Yingyuan's questioning, Li Yunuan couldn't answer truthfully, she could only make a timid gesture, bowed her head and said, "...... Because...... I will also feel embarrassed to always be protected by my senior sister...... I feel like a ...... of waste."
"It turns out that you also know that you are a waste, and you can't rely on Senior Sister Bai for the rest of your life. I thought your shame had been eaten by a dog!"
Ao Yingyuan said sharply, and her breasts, which had been vaguely developed under the pale cyan robe, also shook violently.
"I'm sorry...... I...... I'm sorry, but I'll try not to be a burden to my sisters......"
Li Yunuan apologized seriously, in order to get rid of Bai Yanxue's chase, she insisted on being in a group with them, but she forgot that she was the top waste in Haoyue, and she was in a group with herself, Ao Yingyuan and Liu Shiyun must have felt very unlucky.
"Forget it, they've all been divided into a group, there's no point in complaining, let's work together to find the Sorrowful Demon Flower, Moon Shadow Bamboo, Crystal Crane Orchid, and Frost Grass as soon as possible!"
Resisting the urge to beat people, Ao Yingyuan glared at Li Yunuan fiercely, and was about to go deep into the mountains and forests, only to take five or six steps, then suddenly stopped, turned his head, and asked, "...... You guys...... Senior Sister Liu, do you know what the Dao Sorrowful Demon Flower, Moon Shadow Bamboo, Crystal Crane Orchid, and Frost Grass look like?"
"Two years ago, I picked the crystal crane orchid and the moon shadow bamboo for the senior sister of Tianxiang Peak, but I remember where they grew and what they looked like. It's a pity that I've only seen the Sorrowful Demon Flower and the Frost Grass in the scrolls, and I don't know how to find them. ”
Li Shiyun said calmly, since Uncle Li Qingquan's death and fall, she has been silent every day, so that there are rumors in Haoyue Ju that Senior Sister Li has a longing for Uncle Lin Qingquan, so she obviously gave up cultivating immortals, and still stayed at the outer gate and was reluctant to leave.
Li Yunuan saw the delicate thoughts of these daughters' families in her eyes and did not comment on them.
"Then, Senior Sister Liu, I'm sorry you to take us to find the Crystal Crane Orchid and the Moon Shadow Bamboo!"
......
......
"It's such a big and thick tree, I'm afraid it's hundreds of years old. ”
Under the leadership of Liu Shiyun, the three of them entered the dense forest and walked for about half an hour, and finally found that there were some towering giant trees around, the trunks were thick and needed to be hugged by several people, and the hideous roots were exposed to the surface, almost tripping Ao Yingyuan.
"It's red-veined wood. The red-veined wood that grows for more than 1,000 years will be harder than the refined iron, and if it does not die after nine lightning strikes, it will become a rare red ironwood, which is one of the favorite sword casting materials for sword cultivators. And the crystal crane orchid we are looking for also likes to grow near red-grained wood. ”
The ground became damp and muddy, and although it was noon, I could not feel the heat when walking in the woods, and the air was cold and squeezed into my robes, and the soft saprolite mud absorbed the sound of footsteps. Everything is so quiet here, even the rustle of the leaves is like someone whispering in the distance.
I'm afraid that apart from these female disciples who collect medicine, there will be no one hanging out in the mountains. Although the life of a cultivator is several times that of ordinary people, he has contributed most of this long life to the cultivation of the Dao Seeking. Fifty years is almost a lifetime for a mortal, but for a cultivator, fifty years is just a snap of the fingers in retreat, and it is not even enough to understand a difficult exercise.
Sure enough, life is slim, but I don't know when I will be able to succeed.
Li Yunuan thought sadly, and suddenly stopped.
In front of half a zhang, there is a clump of crystal crane orchids! It grows in the depths of the shadow of the red-veined wood tree, and there is no trace of color on the whole body, and it looks as clear as crystal from a distance.
It's just that although this crystal crane orchid has a beautiful and elegant name, it is actually not cute, it is a saprophytic plant, the whole body is viscous and tentacles, and it must be harvested with a special talisman.
Liu Shiyun also saw the crystal crane orchid in the shade of the tree, she stopped the excited Li Yunuan, carefully took out the talisman, chanted and activated, the talisman turned into a blue light to wrap the fragile and sticky crystal crane orchid, take it to float in the air, and fell into the cloth bag that had been opened a long time ago.
"One, two, three...... There are eight trees in total, which is a little less, but it is enough to make a difference. ”
Liu Shiyun counted it, raised her head, and saw through the cracks in the leaves that the sun was slightly slanting westward, and it was unconsciously a little more than half a day, although it would take another two hours for the sky to darken, but ......
So far, they have only picked eight crystal crane orchids, and the place where the Moon Shadow Bamboo grows is hundreds of feet away, and the Sorrowful Demon Flower and Frost Grass are even more cloudy.
"We're going to have to pick up the pace. In this way, I will draw you the appearance of the Sorrowful Demon Flower and the Frost Grass, and you two will go to find it together, and I will go to cut the Moon Shadow Bamboo alone. ”
While speaking, Liu Shiyun's fingers were drawn in the air, and the shapes of the two herbs were conjured up, the flowers and leaves of the Sorrowful Demon Flower were a strange dark red, with pale golden flowers on the leaves, and the frost grass was even more inconspicuous, looking like ordinary grass, but the leaves seemed to be covered with layers of white fluff like frost. The illusions of the two herbs were vivid, and Ao Yingyuan was envious.
"It's worthy of being a senior sister, and the one-handed illusion is not worse than the senior sisters in the inner gate. ”
"It took me five years to get to this point. If you are the senior sisters of the inner gate, you only need a month of hard work to surpass me. ”
Liu Shiyun said modestly, and took out two bright red charms from her backpack.
"This is the Hongxia Feiyan talisman I got from the inner door senior sister, each of you put it away, if you get away or get lost, release this Hongxia Feiyan talisman, within half an hour, there will be senior brothers and sisters who patrol the mountain to take you out of the mountain. In addition, if you haven't found the Frost Grass and the Sorrowful Demon Flower at the time of the war, don't look for it anymore, hurry down the mountain and gather with the senior sisters. After all, Tianxiang Peak is a Danfang land, and we are female cultivators, if we meet someone with bad intentions, we can ......"
"We get it. ”
Ao Yingyuan and Li Yunuan solemnly took over the Hongxia Feiyan Talisman and were about to separate from Liu Shiyun, but when they heard a "bang", there was a red light in front of them rushing into the sky, turning into a streamer and exploding, which was very bright.
Red Flame Charm!
Which sister is in distress?
The Flying Flame Fu rushed out of the mountain col not far away, and the people in distress were only a hundred feet away from them.
Liu Shiyun obviously also noticed this, she glanced at them inquiringly, and the three of them invariably ran in the direction of the flying flame talisman, and after running for about half a pillar of incense, there was a sonorous sound in the sky, Li Yunuan raised his head, and sure enough, several sword lights flew by.
The senior brothers and sisters who patrol the mountain have already arrived.
Li Yunuan's heart suddenly relaxed, he sighed, and was about to stop to rest, when he suddenly found that he had separated from Li Shiyun and Ao Yingyuan at some point!
Less than ten zhang in front, there is a deep canyon, like a knife split, the chain bridge erected on the cliff has been dilapidated because of disrepair, the mountain wind blows, crumbling.
But you can't blame the senior brothers and sisters of Tianxiang Peak for negligent repairs. Those who have a small success in the path of cultivation can fly to the sky, and naturally there is no need to cross the cliff with the help of iron cables.
Just as they were thinking about whether to return to the woods to meet the two senior sisters, Li Yunuan suddenly found that a small piece of golden-red flowers and plants grew on the opposite side of the cliff, pale golden flowers, and slender red stems and leaves, which were the sad demon flowers they couldn't find!
But the flowers bloom on the cliffs, to pick, or not to pick?
Li Yunuan hesitated, she carefully walked into the cliff, looked down, and found that the cliff on this side also had Sorrowful Demon Flowers, but the number was slightly less, but it was enough to make a difference.
Thinking of the contempt of being treated as a waste by all the senior sisters, and remembering the previous climbing experience, Li Yunuan took a deep breath, took out the rope, tied one end to his waist, fixed the other end on the boulder, and slowly squatted down.
The mountain wind is turbulent, blowing the robe flying, and the cliff wall is even more because of the weathering of many years, the stones are crunchy, and the feet often attract crackling and shattering, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the void!
In just three feet, Li Yunuan was drenched in cold sweat, she clutched the rope, and she was about to reach the Sorrowful Demon Flower, and suddenly-
"Senior sister. ”
A familiar voice rang out from above, and she looked up.
"Senior Sister Bai, why are you here?!What are you going to do!"
