Chapter 21: Deepening
The mountain path leading to the deeper area under the Tianxiu Peak is hidden in the lush deep mountain forest. Although the intensity of the aura at the foot of the mountain is much lighter than that on the peak, even so, at the foot of the mountain at a lower altitude, there is still a thin spiritual mist formed by the convergence of a lot of thin aura floating in the forest.
At this moment, the white light flashed in the dense fog forbidden on the mountain road, and the thick white fog dissipated in the blink of an eye, revealing four curious figures in the fog who looked around from time to time.
There is no doubt that these four people are Chang Xi and his party.
"Hehe, this disciple's identity nameplate is really useful, and the prohibition will automatically dissipate when it touches the nameplate. Zhang Yuan, who was at the forefront, hung the nameplate in his hand back on his waist, and his heart suddenly changed his opinion of this nameplate that was usually heavy and heavy.
"The disciple nameplate can only be effective for ordinary prohibitions on these mountain paths, don't delay the time, let's go to the dense forest to the west. It is safer for us to stick to the side of the mountain wall, after all, we are not familiar with this place, even if we encounter danger, we can retreat against the mountain wall, safety is important. Chang Xi said, habitually raised his hand to set up a pergola and looked into the depths of the dense forest, but the dense forest area was too big, and the scenery from the mountain road was almost the same at a glance, and the idea of finding a place that could be used as a direction marker had to be abandoned.
The four figures jumped on the branches of the dense forest without hurrying.
Chang Xi misses this familiar feeling very much.
As long as he blends into the mountains and forests, Chang Xi seems to feel that his body is a little lighter than usual. The ape leap, which has been comprehended on its own for three years, can be said to be extremely useful in this leafy jungle. Although the speed and explosiveness of the ape leap are far less than that of the goshawk step, if you talk about this flexibility and the overturning in a small area, the ape leap throws the goshawk step out of the way. Looking back, I looked back at the three people who were not slow, but there were faint beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they just blindly used their spiritual power to burst out at the acupuncture points on the soles of their feet to produce high-speed thrust through the forest. Even when he was about to step on the branch in front of him, he didn't retract his strength in advance, and the dull sound that echoed in the forest made Chang Xi's heart drip blood.
Spiritual power isn't so bad. Thanks to the fact that the three of them had also advanced to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm after taking the Yang Yuan Pill, the spiritual power in their bodies was several times more than that in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm before, but no matter how much spiritual power they had, how could they withstand such a squander? Thinking of this, Chang Xi, who was exploring the path in front of him, snapped his fingers, made a gesture agreed before, and stopped under a big tree where several people hugged each other.
"Wen Yu, your footwork is a little impatient, the output of spiritual power is so large, or you will be dragged down by yourself in the time of two pillars of incense. ”
"Zhang Yuan, remember that when you are about to reach the next jumping point, remember to retract your legs and control the output of spiritual power at the same time, so thick branches are about to be broken by you. ”
"And you, Xin Tong, haha, don't be awkward, I'm not going to eat you. Several times you have not controlled the rhythm of the spiritual power output under your feet, and I almost fell down, but I have seen it, oh, be steady, be steady, don't be anxious. I'll just say it casually, don't bite me!"
Chang Xi, who was leaning on the trunk of the tree, looked at the three people who were panting in front of him, and directly pointed out the problem of the three of them.
Xin Tongqiao, who was exposed to the little secret, suddenly turned red like a ripe peach, and angrily showed her little tiger teeth and bit down on Chang Xi's body.
Wen Yu and Zhang Yuan were stunned when they heard this.
They were also very depressed when they followed Chang Xi just now. Chang Xi wasn't necessarily fast in front of them, but he could always quietly pull away a little between leaps. Even if they tried their best to increase the output of spiritual power under their feet, they could only keep up with Chang Xi's speed. Seeing Chang Xi walking through the forest as if he was taking a leisurely walk, there was no sign of panting, and his breathing was still orderly. Hearing Chang Xi's unsparing guidance at this time, he bowed to Chang Xi with a wry smile in his heart, and he really had to accept it.
He really deserves to be a ruthless person who can defeat the teachings and practices.
Chang Xi saw the movements of the two and waved his hand with a smile.
"Come and see, this... Is this a purple monkey flower?" Just as the three of them were sitting cross-legged under the tree and about to rest, Xin Tong's shout came from not far away.
The three of them looked at each other, and immediately stood up and rushed over.
Under the shade of a tree not far away, I saw Xin Tong squatting on the side and pointing to a spiritual grass with purple petals blooming on the top like an ape's face, staring straight with his eyes.
"Wait a minute, I'll compare the "Spirit Plant Compendium" in the jade slip to see if it's a purple monkey flower. Wen Yu's face was overjoyed when he saw this flower, but he still cautiously took out the jade slip and put it on his forehead, inputting spiritual power to read the information.
After just a few breaths, Wen Yu, who was surprised, took the jade slip off his forehead and said excitedly: "Can't be wrong, this is the Purple Monkey Flower! This is the main material for refining the Qi Refining Realm Heavenly Rank Pill-Nourishing Essence Pill! If you take it to the Tibetan Dao Hall to exchange it, it is worth ten contribution points!"
It turns out that this is the purple monkey flower needed to refine the essence pill?
Recalling the life-saving essence cultivation pill when he was recklessly advanced to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm some time ago, Chang Xi was also embarrassed. If such surging medicinal power were placed on other people, I am afraid that just one would be enough to make a monk with average qualifications in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm advance to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm.
This purple monkey flower, which is the main ingredient for refining the essence pill, is worth ten contribution points, so if you count the auxiliary materials, wouldn't it...
When he thought of his unbearable qualifications and the Heavenly Essence Cultivation Pill that might be expensive, Chang Xi's face suddenly darkened.
The three of them on the side didn't have time to take care of Chang Xi, who was already deeply anxious behind them, and happily put this precious purple monkey flower worth ten contribution points into the storage bag with roots and soil.
"Look! There's one over there, and that's the Purple Monkey Flower! Oh my God, how come there are so many Purple Monkey Flowers here?"
Xin Tong suddenly shouted, so frightened that Wen Yu almost broke the stem of the purple monkey flower. I just wanted to complain, but after listening to Xin Tong's words, when I looked at another shade in the direction that Xin Tong pointed, Wen Yu's whole person stopped what he was doing as if he had been struck by lightning.
The clusters of purple spirit grass swaying in the wind under the shade of the trees, the purple flowers that originally looked like ape faces, in the eyes of the three of them at this moment, were simply fairies dancing in the wind in purple veil!
"Hahahaha, get rich! Get rich! I'm afraid there are dozens of so many purple monkey flowers! There are hundreds of contribution points, and Tianxiu Peak only gives five contribution points after patrolling, if anyone dares to let me go on any patrol mission in the future, my little brother Zhang will be the first to jump up and beat him!"
"Hmph, I don't know who planned to do patrols twice a day the day before yesterday. ”
"The two of you move slowly, if this spirit plant is broken, no one will want to accept it." ”
Chang Xi hugged his arms and leaned against the trunk of the tree on the side with a piece of grass in his mouth, alerting the surrounding movements from time to time, and then turned his head to look at the three people under the tree who were busy reaping the fruits of the battle while talking to each other, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised.
Exactly as expected.
In addition to the countless trees in the mountains and forests, the most others are herbs and wild beasts. It was indeed a very difficult thing to find the precious Spirit Plants and Spirit Grass in this vast Tianxiu Peak area. However, if you understand the medicinal properties, habits and growth laws of various spiritual plants and spiritual herbs in advance, then you will have a clear goal to find them, and you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, Tianxiu Peak is the newly enlightened peak of Qingyun Mountain in the near future, and the huge resources in the large area under the peak should not be much undeveloped. As long as they are patient enough to search, they will definitely be able to gain something.
"It's getting late, we're going to get ready to go back. ”
Seeing that the three of them who were in high spirits had completely cleaned up the purple monkey flowers here, Chang Xi whistled lightly and jumped down from the tree.
"Well, I have gained so much today, so let's go back first. After tomorrow's morning exercise, a few of us will go to the Tibetan Dao Hall and exchange these purple monkey flowers for contribution points several times. After all, the number of these purple monkey flowers is not small, and one person who redeems so much at one time may attract unnecessary attention, so it is better to be safe. Wen Yu looked at the storage bag in his hand that was already full of purple monkey flowers, and he was still cautious while being happy.
Chang Xi also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, when the time comes, the contribution points can be divided into four parts." ”
"No, this method was thought of by Brother Chang Xi, I think Brother Chang Xi should divide it into two parts. At this time, Xin Tong, who was patting the dirt on his hands on the side, heard Chang Xi say this, frowned, but was the first to disagree.
Zhang Yuan also nodded, and Wen Yu looked at him with an expression of "it should be like this".
Chang Xi saw the unpretentious expressions of the three of them in his eyes, and his heart suddenly warmed, and he didn't make that pretentious gesture on his lips and said, "It's all up to you." ”
On the way back, at the unanimous request of Wen Yu and the others, the four of them used their spiritual power to race at the fastest speed to see who could be the first to reach the mountain pass on the back peak.
What Wen Yu and the others never expected was that they originally thought that if they abandoned the skill of walking through the forest and only fought the fastest speed, Chang Xi should be almost the same as them, after all, everyone's cultivation was in the middle of the Qi Refining Realm.
But reality once again shattered their thoughts.
With full spiritual power, Chang Xi, who had exerted the goshawk step to the extreme, was like an arrow off the bow at all, and it was not something they could catch up with at all. It only took a dozen breaths, and the figure that was still vaguely visible in front of him completely disappeared into the forest.
"Brother Chang, you're a monster!"
The sound of Zhang Yuan's ghost crying wolf howl suddenly resounded throughout the forest.
