Chapter 17: Gathering Spirit Grass
Mo Zhuoyu came to check the task information, although the query task here is not as cheap as the Internet in the previous life. But because of the immortal cultivation spell, it is much more advanced than the ancient times that Mo Zhuoyu knew.
On the counter, there are different levels of tasks such as Qi training, foundation building, and golden pills, among which there are various categories such as searching for elixirs, demon beasts, refining pills, and magic weapons.
The monk only needs to transport his spiritual power into the record jade slip of the type of task he is interested in, and he can see the detailed information of each task.
Mo Zhuoyu looked at all the tasks during the Qi training period, and finally chose the task of finding the elixir.
The task was issued by the Aoki Sect, and what he was looking for was the main medicine of the Qi Gathering Pill needed for cultivation during the Qi refining period.
As one of the three major first-grade sects in the Lingyun Continent, the Aoki Sect is most famous for its alchemy. The Aoki Pavilion, which sells pills under its door, is located in all the Xiuzhen cities on the entire continent. The amount of elixir required is naturally not small. Therefore, the council of Aoki City has various tasks issued by the Aoki Sect to find elixirs all year round.
It is not difficult to find the spirit grass, and Mo Zhuoyu left Aoki City and went to the mountains.
Out of the city, Mo Zhuoyu first went to buy the refining materials of the Foolish Array, the Stubborn Heart Stone and the Broken Cloud Wood. I thought that I would be able to try my hand when I went out this time.
There were not many monks looking for medicinal herb demon beasts in the mountains, and Mo Zhuoyu had always disliked dealing with people. Avoid crowded places and go deep into the mountains.
The road is becoming scarce, and the vegetation is more vigorous.
Mo Zhuoyu also picked two elixirs along the way, and Jiling Grass also got a few. But this time, she was tasked with collecting a hundred spirit gathering grasses, so she was still far from completing the task.
The lush branches of the trees block out the sun, and even though it is daylight, the mountains look a little shady.
Mo Zhuoyu walked cautiously all the way, while looking carefully.
Unconsciously came to a valley, Mo Zhuoyu took a deep breath and was suddenly refreshed. The fatigue caused by walking for half a day has all disappeared, and even the spiritual power in the body has run faster.
"The aura here is so deep", Mo Zhuoyu couldn't help but sigh. While surveying the situation in the valley, he walked cautiously in.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he found a piece of spiritual grass in front of him.
Golden herbs, growing on the side of the valley, dense patches. As the breeze gently swayes, the subtle sunlight shines down and reflects a dazzling light.
As soon as Mo Zhuoyu stepped forward, he immediately paused.
I saw a sloth beast lying on its stomach in the valley, on the branch of the towering tree. His eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was slow, and he was clearly asleep.
The body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move for half a minute. Mo Zhuoyu couldn't help but slow down his breathing, and stepped back gently, just wanting to leave silently.
This sloth beast was not the cute creature she knew in her previous life. Sloth beast, second-grade demon beast. When adulthood, the maximum height can be one zhang, and the weight can reach one ton. Love to eat elixirs, lethargy, generally mild, but when sleep is disturbed, it is very easy to explode ferocious.
Mo Zhuoyu slowed down and was about to exit the valley.
"Wow!"
A cheer, accentuating, broke the silence of the valley.
Mo Zhuoyu saw a woman in yellow and two young male cultivators rushing into the valley.
The woman also flew straight towards the collection of spirit grass, and shouted excitedly, "You two hurry up, there are so many collection spirit grass here." Today I was lucky enough to finish the task ahead of schedule. ”
Although the two male cultivators saw Mo Zhuoyu, they didn't pay attention to it, and wanted to catch up.
At this time, Mo Zhuoyu came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at the sloth beast. Seeing that his eyes were trembling, he seemed to wake up and immediately shouted, "Come back quickly, danger!"
The female cultivator was focused on the spirit gathering grass, so she didn't pay attention to Mo Zhuoyu, and mocked, "The spirit gathering grass here is Miss Ben's, why don't you get out of here!"
Before the words fell, a scream was heard.
The other three were all shocked by the bloody scene in front of them.
I saw that where the female cultivator was standing, there was only a headless corpse left, and it slowly fell to the ground. The awakened sloth beast jumped down from the tree and stuck out its tongue to drain the blood from its mouth.
"Ahh
The two male cultivators finally reacted, screamed, and ran out with a roll.
Mo Zhuoyu had already reflexively fled backwards when the sloth jumped off the tree.
But at this time, the sloth had just been awakened from its deep sleep. It is the time when the ferocity is in full swing, where will the human beings who disturb its dreams be spared.
When both palms landed, they quickly chased after him.
It is equivalent to a second-grade demon beast in the foundation building period, how can you escape during the qi training period. In just a moment, Mo Zhuoyu heard a miserable cry from behind.
Not daring to look back, Mo Zhuoyu only buried his head and ran wildly.
Another scream came, and Mo Zhuoyu listened to the deafening footsteps that were getting closer and closer behind him. The mind is in a hurry, and there is no escape. It seems that you can only fight one fight, just try the formation.
Mo Zhuoyu looked at the dense trees in front of him, and felt some confidence in his heart. Immediately accelerate and fly forward and take out the Stubborn Stone. While carving the spiritual power according to the formation pattern, he quickly placed the formation stone in place according to the direction.
The sloth beast behind him was already close at hand, and Mo Zhuoyu kept in his hands, quickly arranging the array stone properly. Then he recited the formula, took out the broken cloud wood, brushed it a few times, and shaved its appearance clean. It is not buried in the ground until it becomes needle-like.
The general will place the Broken Cloud Tree, and the sloth beast will be in front of him.
Mo Zhuoyu had completely calmed down at this time, and this was not the first time he had faced a second-grade demon beast. Besides, there is this foolish array, and there may not be no hope of getting out.
While reciting the magic method and running the formation, he quickly changed his body shape to avoid the sloth beast's attack.
As the formation activated, the trees within a mile of Fang Yuan suddenly trembled in unison.
I saw that all the trees that had been growing on the ground began to move. And the speed is getting faster and faster, gradually forming a series of afterimages. The slothbeast was startled by the sudden change and froze in place. When he came back to his senses, Mo Zhuoyu was gone.
The demon beast, which was already ferocious, was even more enraged. He kept growling in his mouth, and he didn't care about the trees in front of him. He slammed through the woods, trying to crush the little human monk to death.
Mo Zhuoyu stood in place, watching the demon beast spin wildly in front of him. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it really deserved to be trapped.
He was obviously standing less than half a foot away from the formation, but the demon beast passed in front of him every time, but he didn't see it. I think that's the role of this foolish array.
When he chose the Foolish Array, Mo Zhuoyu took a fancy to its effect of trapping people, and this formation also has a characteristic. The ordinary trap does not interfere with people's vision, but is similar to building a transparent wall to surround people. However, the Foolish Array can use spiritual power to interfere with the sight of the people in the array.
That's why the sloth beast is rushing around in the array.
But in the end, it is a second-grade demon beast, and Mo Zhuoyu's temporary arrangement of the Yellow Rank Exercises is too sloppy. In its constant impact, it has gradually come loose.
Mo Zhuoyu saw that the formation stones under the arrangement began to crack, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately flew away.
But although it was important to escape, Mo Zhuoyu did not forget to return to the valley before leaving, and plucked all the pieces of spirit gathering grass.
Then he didn't dare to go back the same way, so he took a long detour out of the mountain.
Mo Zhuoyu was glad to have completed the task and picked up his life. While thinking of the headless female corpse in the valley and the two young male cultivators who were also buried in the demon belly, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart. On the path of cultivation, we must be careful every step of the way, and if we don't pay attention, it may be the end of the Tao and the death of people.
This is the first time Mo Zhuoyu has seen a dead person in the true sense of the word in the cultivation realm. And he died in such a bloody form, and the shock in his heart was really not small.
was sighing, and a woman in green clothes suddenly ran in front of him.
Walking in a mess, coughing incessantly in the mouth. While constantly looking backwards, the feet did not stop, and walked forward quickly.
Mo Zhuoyu stood on the road, couldn't dodge, and was almost knocked into the ground.
The woman realized that she had hit someone, and immediately stood up, bowed down and gasped and apologized, "Sorry for disturbing Your Excellency." ”
As he spoke, his body shook a few times, and when Mo Zhuoyu saw this, he was originally going to hold his hand, and immediately helped him up.
"There's no need to be polite if you have nothing to do", Mo Zhuoyu helped him up, and then said.
The woman glanced nervously at the way she came again, and then reluctantly smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, the little woman is leaving."
Mo Zhuoyu saw his actions and doubted in his heart. From the outside, this woman is also a monk of the third level of Qi cultivation, and she acts like a mortal woman. The injuries on his body can be seen even through his clothes, and he lacks spiritual power, and even if he holds on, he will have to fall down in a moment.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally called out to her. Take out a bottle of Huiling Elixir and Healing Pill that you carry with you, and send it forward.
The woman is Yuxin, and when she heard this, the footsteps that had left gradually stopped. turned around, looked at Mo Zhuoyu, and then looked at the pill in his hand.
The tone was surprised: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"
Mo Zhuoyu sighed, and handed the pill to her, "Take it, find a place to breathe and heal as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to go long."
Yuxin held the pill in his hand, listened to Mo Zhuoyu's words, his eyes turned red slightly, and he couldn't help choking up, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
Mo Zhuoyu said, "My surname is Mo, you and I are both monks, you can call Taoist friends." ”
Yu Xin was not in a hurry to leave at this time, and only shook his head, "Since entering the cultivation realm for more than ten years, Your Excellency is the first to help me for no reason. The grace of helping each other, the rain heart will always be remembered. ”
Mo Zhuoyu knew that her name was Yuxin, and when she heard her sad tone, she wanted to persuade but didn't know why. In addition, he is not a person of many words, so he can only say, "Go quickly, don't delay your business." ”
Yuxin nodded, saluted Mo Zhuoyu again, and then turned around and left quickly.
After this encounter, Mo Zhuoyu had no intention of staying, and just wanted to return to the city to hand over the task as soon as possible.
When I got out of the mountain and was about to go to the city gate, I suddenly saw two monks who practiced qi at the sixth or seventh level, asking something in the crowd.
Mo Zhuoyu listened attentively, and the person he described was the woman named Yuxin he had just met.
Although he is not an eventful person, when he thinks of the figure of the woman when she leaves, he still can't help but say as if he was inadvertently speaking, "Is it a seriously injured woman in Tsing Yi, and I saw her going south in a trance."
Mo Zhuoyu casually said a direction and led the two away.
But it is unknown whether the woman named Yuxin can get out.
