Chapter 7 Collecting Medicine in the Mountains

The next day, Yang Cheng slowly opened his eyes and ended his night of cultivation.

When he opened the door, he found that the sky was still bright and there was silence all around, which made Yang Cheng, who didn't want to attract attention, very satisfied.

After cleaning, Yang Cheng checked the belongings he was carrying again, and then quietly closed the courtyard door.

Out of the mountain gate, facing the cold mist, he walked towards the mountains, and gradually, Yang Cheng's figure disappeared into the dense white fog of the early morning.

In the Purple Gold Mountains, there is plenty of aura, and the trees grow vigorously and densely.

When the sun comes out, the fog begins to dissipate. The streams, mountains and other scenery along the way can see Yang Cheng's eyes and heart.

Because I know that there are people in the sect who also go into the mountains to collect medicines, including some casual cultivators, they will also be active in these areas.

Therefore, on the first trip to collect medicine, Yang Cheng had already made up his mind and planned to spend three days collecting medicine and familiarizing himself with the situation in the mountains.

Of course, although Yang Cheng's cultivation is low, he has an advantage that others do not have, that is, he has his own private medicine field.

Therefore, even if he encounters immature medicinal herb seedlings, Yang Cheng does not plan to let them go this time, and is ready to dig them up and plant them in his own medicinal field.

In this way, if nothing else, the seed money alone can save a lot of spirit stone expenses.

After noon, Yang Cheng had been walking non-stop for two or three hours, and his pace began to slow down gradually.

These places are still too close, and even if there are mature medicinal herbs, they have already been poached, and it is not Yang Cheng's turn at all. But if you are careful, you should be able to find a few seedlings.

Along the way, in addition to checking in the trees and grass, Yang Cheng also vigilantly observed the surrounding mountains, trees and so on from time to time.

In addition to preventing walking too far and too deep, Yang Cheng also had to watch out for whether there was anyone.

Thanks to the management of Yuexiu Peak's medicinal fields, Yang Cheng has worked hard in terms of medicinal herb knowledge, so he is now familiar with many medicinal herbs, and he is confident that he will not miss too much.

But it wasn't until the afternoon that Yang Cheng finally began to gain something.

Although it was only an immature herb seedling, it also lifted Yang Cheng's spirit.

Using the purple gold sword to pick up the grass, Yang Cheng gently leaned down to check it, then took out the medicine collection tools, carefully picked up the soil, and dug out the roots of the herb seedlings.

He took out a wooden box from the storage bag, carefully put the herb seedlings in it, and looked at the grass next to him again.

When Yang Cheng got up again and put away the seedling he had just dug up, he looked up at the sky and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Time flies, and the first day is over. However, Yang Cheng only dug up two seedlings, and he didn't even see a single mature herb.

Although Yang Cheng had been mentally prepared before entering the mountain, he didn't expect his luck to be so bad.

Sighing, Yang Cheng prepared to look for a place to spend the night.

A cave was found on a mountain cliff before, the size was suitable, and now it could be used as a place for Yang Cheng to rest and spend the night.

Coming to the cliff again, Yang Cheng climbed into the cave and cleaned it up. After thinking about it, he carried a few large stones back and forth from the bottom of the cliff several times and brought them back to the cave.

After carrying it, Yang Cheng sat at the mouth of the cave, took out the water and dry food he was carrying, and ate it.

When the sky was full of stars, the forest was dark, and insects and beasts began to chirp all around.

Yang Cheng got up and put the stones he had carried up at the entrance of the cave, building a simple shield to prevent wild beasts from sneaking in in the middle of the night.

After doing all this, Yang Cheng returned to the cave and sat on a pile of hay, and began to close his eyes and cultivate, waiting for the dawn......

In a valley surrounded on three sides, Yang Cheng leaned over to dig out medicinal herbs from the corner, and his eyes glanced in the direction of the valley mouth from time to time.

Today is the third and last day of the trip.

Yang Cheng was going to spend a morning trying to see if he could pick a few more herbs, and then he planned to return to the Spirit Sword Sect in the afternoon.

But what is a little unfortunate is that not long after I came out, I accidentally met three people.

Although the distance was very far away at that time, and the two sides were not on the same path, Yang Cheng avoided it early after seeing someone.

But at this moment, there was still a creepy and very uncomfortable feeling reminding Yang Cheng that it seemed that the danger had not left, and someone was secretly peeping at him!

The herbs were completely dug out, and Yang Cheng quickly took out the wooden box and gently put the herbs into the storage bag.

After doing this, Yang Cheng once again pretended to look in the direction of Taniguchi unintentionally.

Taniguchi did not move.

The place where Yang Cheng was located was a funnel-shaped valley with cliffs on three sides, and only a narrow opening in the front to enter and exit the valley.

He now suspected that the person who was secretly spying on him was hiding outside the valley at the moment, waiting to attack him when Yang Cheng came out of the valley.

Since the valley was too narrow, Yang Cheng didn't dare to resist the sword, in that case, he would become a live target.

But it's certainly not okay to stay in the valley all the time.

Yang Cheng frowned, thinking quickly in his mind, and finally landed his gaze on the cliff.

When he followed Grandpa Mo to the rivers and lakes, Yang Cheng learned some fist and foot kung fu, and he didn't lose it all these years, so Yang Cheng's physical fitness was better.

Looking up, the height of the cliff should be more than 20 zhang, but it is not completely vertical.

Yang Cheng believed that if he was careful, he should be able to climb up.

After a quick search, Yang Cheng saw a vine hanging down in a place seven or eight feet high from the ground.

It should be easier to climb there with the help of vines.

Time is limited, and the enemy is unknown. Since he had made up his mind, Yang Cheng was no longer entangled, and while quickly sorting out his clothes, he was looking for a suitable place on the cliff.

Then he clasped his hand on a protruding rock, kicked his foot down violently, and used all his strength to climb up on the cliff wall.

When he climbed to a height of seven or eight zhang, Yang Cheng finally came to the side of the hanging vine.

After pulling the vine to test it, he felt that it was feasible, and then Yang Cheng climbed up again with the help of the vine, and the speed became faster and faster.

When Yang Cheng finally climbed to the top of the cliff drenched in sweat, he gasped for breath, and his hands were even more red and swollen.

However, Yang Cheng didn't seem to know the pain at all, but instead had a feeling of relief.

Glancing at the bottom of the cliff, Yang Cheng showed a knowing smile on his face, turned around and quietly left, ending this thrilling trip to collect medicine.

Not long after Yang Cheng climbed out of the cliff, a head suddenly appeared at the narrow exit of the valley, and after looking inward a few times, he muttered a few words.

Then the second head and the third head appeared.

After seeing that there was no one in the valley, the three of them looked at each other, and then one by one they appeared and walked towards the valley with their weapons.

If Yang Cheng was still here, he would definitely be able to recognize it easily.

The three men who were guarding the valley and preparing to rob him turned out to be the three men he had met on the road.
