More than an hour later, Zhou Huan and the others arrived at the top of the southern part of Mingcui Valley.

Mingcui Valley is located more than 300 miles north of Fang City, called Valley, in fact, it is a huge basin surrounded by mountains, which is full of spiritual energy, although it is not as good as the station of many immortal cultivation sects, it can also be regarded as a treasure land, and there are many scattered cultivators who practice in this place.

After years of exploration in the valley, low-level demon beasts rarely haunt and are not too dangerous, and the surrounding mountains and forests are tall and the spirit grass is luxuriant, and many demon beasts inhabit it, so it has become a frequent place for casual cultivators.

After another flight of incense, Liu Yuan lowered the flying boat at the northern edge of the Mingcui Valley.

Zhou Huan stepped on the ground, and felt that this place was indeed as rich in spiritual energy as rumored in Fang City, and thought that it would be good if the mining area also had such a concentration of spiritual energy, and he could also save some spiritual stones, and it seemed that he could learn to cultivate in Mingcui Valley in the future.

Thinking about it, Liu Ruling walked over with light steps, and said with some expectation: "Brother Zhou, do you and Brother Fang want to go to the north with us?" ”

Zhou Huan came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Fang Zheng and I just came to Mingcui Valley, and we are not familiar with each other, so let's adjust it for a few days first, and then I will join you." ”

When Liu Ruling heard Zhou Huan's answer, she was not reluctant, and after saying that, she turned around and left here with Liu Yuan and his party.

Zhou Huan heard Liu Ruling say before, she begged her uncle to bring her to Mingcui Valley this time, in order to find another main medicine of Dingyan Pill, at this time, she was following Liu Yuan and Chen Buregret to the northern mountain forest outside Mingcui Valley, which was the place with the most spiritual grass in this area.

After Liu Ruling and the others walked away, Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng explored Mingcui Valley together. The two of them planned to take a look at the general situation in the valley and the general area where the monsters were infested, and then go to the surrounding mountains and forests to explore.

After a few hours, Zhou Huan roughly walked the north-south direction in the valley, and during this time, he also encountered many low- and middle-level casual cultivators, but he didn't get too close.

The number of first-order demon beasts in Mingcui Valley is not much different from that of Lishui Stream, but for the size of the two places, it is Lishui Stream that is better, fortunately, it can be cultivated in the valley, and it can be regarded as having its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Senior brother, it seems that the environment here in Mingcui Valley is very good, I don't know why no one has stayed here for a long time, I heard in Fang City that the scattered cultivators are not permanent before." After Fang Zheng and Zhou Huan converged, he asked with some doubts.

"It may be that there are some differences in the surrounding mountains and forests, you and I are new to this place, so we still have to be careful." Zhou Huan thought about it, there seemed to be nothing abnormal in the valley, that is, the problem of the surrounding mountains and forests, and then said, "Don't worry about it first, when you meet Senior Liu next time, you can ask him." ”

"I know Senior Brother, then I'll find a nearby place to cultivate first." Fang Zheng replied.

In the next month, Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng had been in Mingcui Valley and did not go back to Fang City, and the two of them collected demon beast materials in the valley while cultivating with the aura in the valley. During this period, I also entered the surrounding mountains and forests a few times, but it didn't take long for me to retreat.

Zhou Huan and the others knew why most of the scattered cultivators in Mingcui Valley were only short-term and did not stay often.

Due to the fact that there are often second-order demon beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests, and there are many second-order peak demon beasts among them, which are comparable to the sixth layer of qi refining, and the general casual cultivation around Fang City is only four or five layers at the highest, so it is impossible to deal with it.

There are thick poisonous miasma in some areas, and there are not many flying demon beasts, but the number of poisonous demon beasts is huge, and they will be poisoned if they are not careful, so that low-level monks need to return to Fang City often to repair if they do not have the means to ward off poison.

And staying in the valley all the time, relying only on the cultivation of spiritual qi here, for some casual cultivators above the fourth level of qi refining, the cultivation speed is not very fast.

On that day, Zhou Huan and Fangzheng were going to try the mountains and forests in the north after going in and out of the surrounding mountains and forests several times.

Since the two of them had encountered many second-order demon beasts from afar in the mountains and forests in other directions before, they were temporarily unable to explore, so they decided to go to the north to find the spirit grass, after all, for the spirit root talent of the two, in addition to the demon beast materials, the general spirit grass spirit fruit can also be exchanged for spirit stones.

Not long after departure, a crisp and pleasant voice came from behind him, "Brother Zhou, Brother Fang, meet again." ”

Zhou Huan turned his head to look, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Ruling, only to see her smiling face, standing not far behind her.

"Senior Liu, Senior Chen, and Miss Liu are good." Zhou Huan and the others stepped forward to salute.

"It's really fateful, two Taoist friends, you two are also going to the north, it seems that you can go together today?" Liu Yuan said with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to be with my seniors." Zhou Huan and the others began to go to the northern mountains and forests together with Liu Ruling and others.

On the way, Zhou Huan found that there were indeed a lot of low-level spiritual grasses in this mountain forest, most of which were different from Lishui Stream, and he didn't know them. During this period, after Liu Ruling's introduction, he also got to know some of them, and thought that after returning to the sect, he would see if he could find a job that could contact Lingzhi on an errand, contact more contact, and come out to wander, and he didn't know if he would lose a lot when he encountered treasure medicine.

As everyone walked forward, they heard Liu Ruling ask with some curiosity: "Uncle, how big is this mountain forest, I didn't find the spirit grass that Ling'er wanted after walking so far last time." ”

"I don't know this, just ask you Uncle Chen, he often runs into the Nanqing Mountains, he knows better than me." Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Then Liu Ruling looked at Chen Buregret with some expectation.

"I know a little bit about what Ling'er asked." Chen Buregret pondered for a while and said, "The mountain forest in the north of Mingcui Valley is about 400 miles in size, bordering the Great Lake Qianqing Lake in the west and the Stone Ridge in the east. ”

Chen Buregret paused for a while, glanced at Liu Yuan, and saw that he didn't move, so he continued: "The north is connected to the Misty Swamp. ”

"What kind of place is the Misty Swamp, Uncle Chen." Liu Ruling asked with some curiosity, she had never heard of this place before. Zhou Huan also wanted to know, he had heard of Qianqing Lake and Shiling, but the Misty Swamp was the first time he had heard of it.

"Speaking of the Misty Swamp, it's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. It was a place full of mud and fog, and it was easy to get lost, and there were no more resources than in other places, and very few monks had ever been there. Chen Buregret explained methodically, "However, there are rumors that a foundation monk fell into it with a heavy treasure more than ten years ago, and it has not been discovered by other monks, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"There's a baby, why didn't Uncle Chen go look for it." Liu Ruling's eyes lit up and asked.

"Uncle Chen, I've already been there once, but it's a pity that the fog barrier in the Misty Swamp only recedes for seven days every three years, so I can only return in vain." Chen Buregret said with some regret.

After listening to what Chen Buregret said, Zhou Huan sighed a little, there are many mysteries in the cultivation realm, and Ningchuan alone has such an unusual place, and his knowledge has increased a little.

For him, who already has a gray gourd, he doesn't care much about what foundation building treasures, after all, they are all rumors, and even if he really has a treasure, it won't be his turn.

In the following time, Chen Buregret led the way in front to find the spiritual grass needed by Liu Ruling, and Zhou Huan and the others followed behind. There was no danger along the way, avoiding many poisonous obstacles and poisonous insects, Zhou Huan carefully recorded the dangerous places along the way with a blank book, and avoided some trouble when he came back next time.

In the end, although they still didn't find the spirit grass that Liu Ruling needed this time, the group found a lot of other low-level spirit grasses, and collected a lot of demon beast materials along the way, and Zhou Huan was generally familiar with the northern mountains and forests.

"Then two little friends, we will have a meeting later." Liu Yuanlang said.

"See you next time." Liu Ruling shook her little hand at them.

"Two seniors, Miss Liu, my two brothers will be in Mingcui Valley for a few days, so I will leave." Zhou Huan replied.

When the three of them disappeared into the sky on the flying boat, Zhou Huan and the others walked back to the rest place in the valley.

-----

Liu Ruling followed Liu Yuan back to Nanqingfang City, and then walked for a while, Liu Yuan turned to Liu Ruling and said, "Ling'er, you go back to the courtyard first, I still have some things to discuss with Uncle Chen." ”

"Okay." Liu Ruling replied to the two and left.

Liu Yuan and Chen Buregret saw that Liu Ruling had gone away, and the two walked to the inconspicuous corner on the side, and Liu Yuan said with some doubts: "Big brother, how can you mention the matter of the Misty Swamp to the junior today?" ”

"Counting the days, the fog barrier should be more than nine months before it will disperse again." Chen Buregret did not answer Liu Yuan's question directly, and said with some expectation.

"You and I still have Shuhui Ling'er, it's been almost three years since I came to Nanqingfang City." After listening to what Chen Buregret said, Liu Yuan said with some emotion, "If it weren't for that spiritual enhancement technique, we wouldn't be here, but fortunately, the time is finally coming." ”

"Yes, except for Ling'er's spiritual root talent, which is not bad, the three of us are all four spiritual roots. You and I have been stuck in the sixth layer of qi refining for so many years of hard cultivation, and the hope of breaking through is this spiritual enhancement technique. ”

Chen Buregret's eyes were resolute, and he continued with a little reminiscence: "When I looked at Zhou Huan Fangzheng, I remembered the hardships we experienced in cultivation back then, and there were so many of them. This time, I mentioned the Misty Swamp, and I wanted to bring them with me if I had the chance. Although it will not be passed on to them after obtaining the Soul Enhancement Technique, I think that there are other legacies of the foundation building monk, which can allow these two juniors to take some of the path we did back then. ”

"What the eldest brother said is reasonable, so be it, if they are willing to do so, they will take the two of them with them." Liu Yuan listened to Zhengse's words, then thought about it, and smiled slightly bitterly, "I see that Ling'er is very affectionate to that Zhou Huan, and I'm afraid that I will have more nieces and sons-in-law in the future." ”
