Chapter 7 Discovery of the source of the poison
"Uh......h Yikes......"
Just when Xu Chen stopped exercising his internal vision meridian dantian to observe, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his chest, and there was a slight squirming, Xu Chen suddenly remembered that he had brought back a little fox, and quickly took it out of his arms.
The little fox's breath was very weak, and it looked like it was dead when it stepped softly, and it couldn't even open its eyes, and its cries were almost inaudible.
Xu Chen couldn't help frowning, people who cultivate immortals like to raise spirit beasts, but there are very few who raise spirit foxes, because the wisdom of spirit foxes is very high, and they live in a family-like group, and their vigilance is also very strong, first, it is not easy to catch, and second, it is not very useful.
This little guy who picked it up at random doesn't seem to be full moon, and even if he wants to raise it, he seems to have no heart, mainly because he has no milk.
However, watching it starve to death, Xu Chen was also a little unbearable.
Looks like we'll have to find someone with milk to help.
The first thing that came to his mind was the proud and upright chest of the seventh senior sister Qu Mei, which seemed to be more suitable, but the seventh senior sister went down the mountain.
In addition, there is only the thirteenth senior sister Zhao Xuan on the mountain.
But thinking about her flat body, I'm afraid that it will be a problem for nursing children in the future.
Except for the two senior sisters, what is left is a group of unreliable senior brothers, not to mention the little fox, they themselves are all hungry and full, and like Xu Chen, they are all very anti-hunger breeds.
What to do?
Xu Chen was a little numb, thought about it for a while, got up, went to the side to scoop half a bowl of spring water, broke the little fox's mouth and poured some indiscriminately, and then threw it on the stone slab to bask in the sun.
All that's left is to dispose of a strange chunk of newly retrieved feces.
This thing should be highly poisonous, otherwise it would not poison a large litter of foxes, so Xu Chen didn't dare to touch it with his divine sense, so he could only pour it to the ground and use a wooden stick to pick it up and observe it carefully.
There are many poisonous things in the heavenly materials and earth treasures, even if it is an ordinary spiritual material elixir, it is highly poisonous when used on mortals.
But poisonous feces Xu Chen encountered for the first time.
This lump of feces should not be in its complete form, but it seems to be a lump thrown out of nowhere, which happened to fall on the stone crevice cliff above the Spirit Fox Cave, and then polluted the spring water that dripped into the Spirit Fox's lair, and eventually caused a litter of foxes to be poisoned, and this time was not long.
But such a terrifying piece of poop, but the origin of it made him unable to figure it out.
This Taiyuan Gate is a radius of thousands of miles, all the spirit beasts and demon beasts he knows clearly, the strongest is the third-order demon wolf in the southeast, in addition, it is like this nest of spirit foxes, but the first-order and second-order varieties are threatened, but the threat is not big, each has a fixed survival territory, and they do not visit each other.
So this strange piece of feces is certainly not left by native beasts.
So...... Did it fall from the sky?
Xu Chen couldn't help but look up at the sky.
High, blue, clear, clear sky, clean as if licked by a dog.
If there really was such a terrifying demon beast or spirit beast passing near the Taiyuan Gate, it would be impossible for the two elders with profound Dao practices not to find out.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and Xu Chen didn't want to think about it at all.
Now he was thinking about what to do with the.
Is it buried directly in the medicine garden, or what to do?
The composition of the feces is very complex, mixed with undigested grass roots, broken bones, crusts, pits, and even grain-like things, it is obviously an omnivorous foodie monster, and it seems to have some indigestion, the feces are slimy, and the stomach is not very healthy at a glance.
Suddenly, something the size of a finger that looked like a blue jade bead was turned out.
"Hey, what is this?"
Xu Chen was very curious, picked out this jade bead with a wooden stick, rubbed it back and forth on the grass with his feet a few times, and then clamped it up with two wooden sticks to observe it carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more amazed he became, the thing was crystal clear, with dark blue spots like stars inside, releasing a dazzling blue halo in the sunlight.
He couldn't help but release his divine sense to touch it, and suddenly a blue light appeared in the sea of consciousness like the sun, emitting blazing energy, and the soul suddenly felt a terrifying tingle, and the soul seemed to be burned by a red-hot soldering iron, and he snorted in pain and fell down, and the jade bead also fell to the grass.
This thing is poisonous.
Xu Chen made a judgment in an instant, sat up with palpitations on his forehead, stared at the jade bead for a long time, and then carefully picked it up again with a wooden stick, and went to the puddle to rinse it with spring water.
This time it looks clearer, the blue spots inside are really like stars constantly releasing light, and the whole jade bead is dazzling, making people's souls throb.
This must be a treasure.
Xu Chen immediately made an accurate judgment.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, all kinds of heavenly materials and earth treasures are strange, even if it is a great cultivator of the Divine Spirit Realm who can destroy the heavens and the earth, he will definitely not be able to know everything, although he has only seen the first-order and second-order low-level spiritual materials, but this thing must be extraordinary.
Let the treasure not leak out.
Xu Chen hurriedly put it in his pocket with him, and then squatted down excitedly to continue picking up feces, but he didn't find anything else.
Perhaps this is the root cause of poisoning the feces, Xu Chen was also a lot bolder, put the feces back into the back basket, and soon carried it to the medicine garden.
The so-called dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and the soul wood is about to hang, and he doesn't care too much if it is poisonous or not, so he decided to bury this special manure, if it is really saved, it will be a great achievement for Taiyuan Gate, if it is dead, then it will be dead, and it has nothing to do with him as a scumbag little apprentice who is a beginner in Qi training, at most he will be punished, and the most serious thing is to drive down the mountain.
In fact, after a few years of cultivation, he has already begun to have a bad mentality.
Because of his garbage spiritual root, the greatest achievement of his life is also the Kaiyuan Realm, if there is no great opportunity, Shouyuan will only be dozens of hundreds of years, no different from ordinary mortals.
What's more, picking up dung in the mortal world, and picking up dung in the fairy gate, it seems that the meaning of life is no different.
Calculate, since going up the mountain, I haven't even eaten a decent hot meal, it is better to be a servant of a large family with a group of poor children and orphans who are also lonely and miserable at the bottom of the mountain, and I can usually tease the maid, and if I am lucky, I can have a baby.
In this barren mountain and wilderness, I can't even find a companion to speak.
Being lonely all day long is no different from the grass and trees in this mountain.
If this is cultivating immortals, then what's the point of being lonely and old?
Although there was a mess in his heart, Xu Chen still dug a pit very seriously and buried the feces around the Soul Restoration Wood, and finally saw that there was still some left, so he simply mixed a large amount of humus and sprinkled it evenly in the medicine field.
The other spirit grasses in the medicine garden also grew unsatisfactory, and the quality was getting worse and worse.
If this spirit beast feces are really effective, maybe they can also have unexpected changes.
After finishing his work, he walked to the small waterhole under the waterfall and undressed to take a bath, just stripped naked, only to see a cyan light from far and near, and soon fell on the edge of the waterhole, but it was the thirteenth senior sister Zhao Xuan.
Xu Chen hurriedly covered his lower body with his clothes, and said with embarrassment: "Why is Senior Sister here?" ”
Zhao Xuan looked at Xu Chen's embarrassed appearance, covered her mouth and grinned: "What are you nervous about, Senior Sister won't eat you." ”
Xu Chen smiled dryly, "No one from this barren mountain or mountain range comes, and it's not impossible for senior sister to eat if she wants to......
"Wow, you want to be beautiful!" Zhao Xuan took a sip, turned his head and said, "I'll take a look at how the Soul Rejuvenation Wood is growing, and at the same time see if you are lazy." ”
Xu Chen pointed to the medicine garden and said: "The Soul Rejuvenation Wood is in the medicine garden, Senior Sister went to see it herself, I just weeded and fertilized, and I was about to take a bath." ”
"Then you wash it, I'll take a look!"
Zhao Xuan turned around and went to the medicine garden, Xu Chen jumped into the pool with a sigh of relief, scrubbed a few times and got dressed.
"Senior brother is not good, why does this soul wood look like he is dying?"
Zhao Xuan's voice sounded in the medicine garden, Xu Chen hurriedly put on his clothes, walked over and said with a bitter face: "I don't know why this is happening, I found some signs of withering a few days ago." ”
"What then?" Zhao Xuan's face changed greatly, and he turned around and grabbed Xu Chen's arm and said hurriedly: "The third elder asked me to observe carefully, and I haven't been here for a few days, how can it become like this?" ”
Xu Chen spread his hands and said: "You ask me, I will ask who to go, this soul wood blossomed suddenly, I wonder if it feels like it is dying, so I want to struggle hard to see if I can bear fruit and inherit the lineage, but it failed." ”
Zhao Xuan stomped her feet anxiously, "When, are you still in the mood to laugh." ”
Xu Chen said helplessly: "Then what should I do?" ”
"No, I have to report this matter to the three elders quickly, otherwise I will be punished if you really die." After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he threw out the flying sword and took off towards Chaoyang Peak.
Xu Chen shrugged his shoulders and sat down to rest, and after a while, he saw a faint light suddenly coming, and in the blink of an eye, it landed in front of the Soul Restoration Tree, it was the Third Elder.
"How did it suddenly turn out like this?"
The three elders looked at the flowers that had begun to wither and wither, and the branches that had turned yellow and wilted slightly, and their snow-white beards and eyebrows were trembling violently.
Xu Chen stepped forward and whispered cautiously: "The disciple doesn't know, it began to wither a few days ago, and the disciple went to the alchemy room once, but you were at a critical juncture in alchemy, so you didn't dare to disturb the report." ”
The three elders' faces changed drastically for a while, and finally he sighed and said: "That's it, Shi Ye, life also, this soul wood seems to have reached the number of fate, my Taiyuan Gate is not blessed to get this treasure, so be it!" ”
After the three elders finished speaking, if the person suddenly grew old, he looked up to the sky and sighed again, and then walked away with a swing of his big sleeves.
Looking at the emaciated and old back going away, Xu Chen couldn't bear it, but there was nothing to do.
The three elders have built the foundation for more than fifty years, but they have stopped in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm and have not advanced an inch, so they put all their thoughts on taking care of the mountain gate and cultivating the younger generations.
"If only this manure really worked!"
Xu Chen muttered as he packed up his backpack and went back to his residence, thinking that if he could go to the fox cave and bring back some feces, maybe he could save it.
It's a pity that the third-order demon wolf has occupied the territory of the spirit fox right now, and the danger is too great, even the three elders don't dare to provoke, it's better to hide in the mountains as a shrunken turtle like a little scumbag.
