175 Divide the spiritual herbs
The five members of Su Chen's team and Zhuang Bufan walked along a cave passage to find Zhou Baoxi's whereabouts.
Not long after, Su Chen found a shadow cautiously in the cave, using the ice hidden spirit technique to sneak around, it was Zhou Baoxi who looked frightened.
The stealth technique of this Qi Refining Period is too low-level, and it is difficult to conceal the powerful divine thoughts of the Foundation Building Period cultivators.
Zhou Baoxi sneaked alone, she was not timid, but anyone walking alone in this dark and dead cave, always worried about the appearance of the mysterious and terrifying demon beast, would be like walking in purgatory, and her heart was completely swallowed by fear.
The slightest movement in the cave, the appearance of strange shadows, would scare her heart, and she was almost about to collapse.
"Uncle Lu Shi, are you all right, have you ever encountered that terrible demon beast?"
Zhou Baoxi couldn't help crying with joy when she saw a group of six or seven monks such as Old Master Lu and Anu appear, so she dared to show up and meet everyone.
"Sister Zhou, it's okay! That's a second-order ice silkworm, which has been killed by my son-in-law. My son-in-law and Mr. Zhuang have both stepped into the realm of pseudo-foundation. ”
Anu hurriedly comforted.
Only then did Zhou Baoxi know that it was an ice spirit silkworm in the foundation building period that hunted them. What she was even more shocked was that Zhuang Bufan and Su Chen had already stepped into the realm of the foundation building period.
The Foundation Building Stage Cultivator was far more powerful than the Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, and even if a Foundation Building Demon Beast appeared, it was not to be feared.
Zhou Baoxi finally settled down.
Of the five teams that had entered the underground cave a few days ago, only seven of them were still alive. The rest of them either killed each other or were killed by the Ice Spirit Silkworm.
The crowd gathered together and discussed how to leave.
Zhou said she found a small spiritual spring, which is suspected to lead to an underground river. It's just that the spring is too small, only the size of a fist, and it is difficult to dig up.
This discovery couldn't help but surprise them all, this may be an escape route that can leave this underground cave.
...
It didn't take long for them to come to the place where the spiritual spring discovered by Zhou Baoxi was located.
Sure enough, in the cave, there is a gushing spiritual spring, the internal water flow is turbulent, and there is probably an underground river.
"I'll try it and see if I can dig it up!"
Su Chen threw out the Shadow Flying Sword, slashed towards the spring, and dug up the rocks.
This rock is unusually hard, and even with the sharpness of a flying sword weapon, it only cuts a small piece the size of a palm at a time. It took a moment, and only a little more than a foot deep.
This is already very good, Zhou Baoxi's team spent a few hours before digging out a few inches of gravel.
Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan, two foundation-building monks, used flying sword magic weapons to dig in turn, and there was a great hope of digging through this spring within a day or two.
"Brother Su, if this spiritual spring leads to an underground river, it shouldn't be difficult for all of us to escape together. However, there is one more thing that remains to be resolved.
Before leaving, many spiritual herbs in this cave naturally had to be collected and taken away. But how to distribute, that's the question. There is a proposal below, you and I will divide half of the thousand-year-old spirit herbs in this underground cave, how about it?"
Zhuang Bufan controlled the flying sword with divine thoughts, cut the spring rock, lowered his eyebrows, and said with a light smile.
He was leaving all the other Qi Refining Stage cultivators aside and dividing them between him and Su Chen, the two Foundation Cultivation Cultivators.
Although this is a bit unkind, it is a little inconsistent with his previous image of a gentle son. But with huge benefits in front of him, he had to be openly cheeky and take advantage of as much as possible.
The underground cave that could have been monopolized by him alone was half taken away by Su Chen, a pseudo-foundation building monk who suddenly appeared, and his heart was crying in pain.
The remaining half of the spiritual herbs are probably only enough for a foundation building stage cultivator to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, and at most to the late stage of foundation building.
As for cultivating to the Jindan stage, I'm afraid it's completely hopeless. He worshiped the Immortal Sect in the future, but he still had to spend years and hard work to earn spirit stones for cultivation during the foundation building period.
Zhuang Bufan's words came out.
When Old Master Lu, Zhou Baoxi and others heard this, their hearts suddenly cooled, but they didn't dare to object, they just mourned.
They had seen the abundant cultivation resources in this cave with their own eyes, and of course they also wanted to get a little benefit. In the future, when he entered the Immortal Sect, he also needed a lot of immortal cultivation resources to cultivate.
However, with the strength of the ninth layer of their Qi Refining Period, they were completely unable to compete with Zhuang Bufan and Su Chen, the two foundation building stage cultivators.
The abundant cultivation resources in this underground cave are not divided as the two foundation building period monks say. They can't get even the slightest benefit, and they can't do anything about it.
Zhuang Bufan didn't glance at the five Qi Refining Stage cultivators at all, he just asked Su Chen, which was evident.
"Oh..."
Su Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly thought about it.
Although this thousand-year-old spiritual herb is precious, he has a square inch of spiritual mountain, and he can cultivate a thousand-year-old spiritual herb in three years. This spiritual herb is not unique to him.
However, he didn't want Zhuang Bufan to get so many benefits.
Although Zhuang Bufan didn't know that his father was incognito, he incarnated as a real person in Hanshan, wandered in the mortal world of the Tang Dynasty, and tried to rebel, but he ruined the good thing and committed suicide on the shore of Taihu Lake.
Su Chen always faintly felt that this Zhuang Bufan would be a threat to him in the future. Naturally, this Zhuang Gongzi could not be allowed to smoothly obtain a lot of cultivation materials.
"Brother Zhuang, this is a bad statement. After leaving this place, all seven of us can worship the Five Great Immortal Sects, and in the future, we will be commensurate with brothers and sisters in the Immortal Sect, and we may all be able to become foundation building period monks.
Since everyone is the senior brother of the Five Great Immortal Sects and has the same status, of course the heavenly and earthly treasures in this cave should be divided equally, one for each person!"
Su Chen pondered for a moment and said with a light smile.
In this way, everyone's share becomes extremely small. Zhuang Bufan naturally gets very little.
"You!"
Zhuang Bufan's eyes widened in disbelief.
He originally guessed that Su Chen might want to share an extra thousand-year-old spirit herb because of the large number of people on his side. If he endures it, forget it.
But how could Su Chen think that the seven would be divided equally?
Why did he want to divide it equally with all the Qi refining cultivators?
Could it be that Su Chen wanted to use this as an excuse for his team to take the five shares. In the end, Su Chen embezzled the share of four members of his team, monopolizing five-sevenths?
This is absolutely not good! He Zhuang Bufan is only one-seventh, which is five times worse than Su Chen!
Zhuang Bufan thought of a possibility in his heart, his eyes were cold, and his whole body trembled.
"It's... Brother Su is so fair!"
"Brother Su, this is a great good!"
But the other people, after listening to Su Chen's distribution plan, Zhou Baoxi, Old Master Lu, Zhang Xiaodi, Wu Qiaofu and others showed unexpected surprises.
Even if an honest and honest person like Wu Qiaofu was not greedy for money, he was not stupid enough to refuse the thousand-year-old spirit herb. This is equivalent to the spirit wood he has cut for a hundred years.
"Brother Su, you want to take into account everyone's brotherly feelings, and this bearing is admired by Zaixia. But even sharing is not possible. In this way, it will be divided into three parts, and you and I will each get one point. The remaining portion is divided equally among the remaining five. This is my bottom line, otherwise you and I will go our separate ways and take what we need!"
Zhuang Bufan forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice.
He was in pain to death.
Even if it was like this, he would lose a lot. From half, to a third. I'm afraid that the resources in his hands are only enough for him to cultivate to about three or four layers in the foundation building period.
"Okay, that's it!"
Su Chen thought for a while, estimated that this was the limit that Zhuang Bufan could bear, and agreed.
He didn't want to be too anxious, Zhuang Bufan turned his face in anger, and other unexpected changes occurred.
Now in the cave, the weakest ones are all Qi refining stage cultivators in his team, no matter which one dies, it is not good. It's better to leave this cave and return to the surface to be safe.
...
Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan stayed behind and excavated this spiritual spring.
Zhou Baoxi, Old Master Lu and other five people went to the underground cave to collect spiritual herbs.
In just one day, they picked all the spiritual herbs in the cave that were more than a hundred years old. As for the less than a hundred years, the medicinal power is too low, and it will not be of much benefit to them to build a foundation and cultivate, so they will leave a little bit for the junior cultivators of Chaoge Immortal City.
The two foundation building monks each shared one share, and the remaining five people shared one share, and together they divided these spiritual herbs.
Zhuang Bufan obtained five thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and dozens of spiritual herbs ranging from one hundred years to eight or nine hundred years.
He was a little ecstatic and extremely sorry.
As he expected, these spirit herbs were sold in the Immortal Sect and exchanged for a large number of spirit stones, which was at least enough for him to use for more than one or twenty years, and he cultivated carefree until he reached the fourth or fifth level of the foundation building period.
It's a pity that he was spoiled by Su Chen, and he couldn't get all the spiritual herbs in the cave alone, otherwise it would be enough before cultivating to Jindan.
Zhuang Bufan, Su Chen and the others had seen most of the spiritual herbs along the way, and whether there was a shortage or not, they naturally knew in their hearts.
It took a day of hard work, and the Spirit Spring, which was originally only the size of a fist, was dug into a large hole a foot wide, leading to the depths of the ground.
Su Chen used his flying sword to dig through a spiritual spring, and made a rock wall more than a foot wide and seven or eight zhang deep.
"Let's go!"
The crowd rushed in and walked through the spring into a deep underground river.
This underground river is extremely deep.
They swam in the underground river for an hour, looking for a way out, when they suddenly saw one after another cracks in the surface, and a strong light projected in.
It's an export!
Everyone was surprised and hurriedly swam quickly in the direction of the bright light.
