Chapter 44: The Battle of the Grass Spirit Valley
Qiao Yuan thought about it for a while and remembered what happened more than a month ago, with a smile on his face, he nodded and stopped walking towards Old Man Zhan, sat directly on the grass, and asked.
"Grandpa Zhan, what do you need me to do?"
"Two years later, the trial of Grass Spirit Valley is about to start, the old man hopes that you can enter the Grass Spirit Valley to find a medicinal herb, this herb is very important to Yao'er, if you can get it, the old man has the confidence to let Yao'er recover. β
Old man Zhan took a deep breath and said slowly to Qiao Yuan.
"What kind of place is this Grass Spirit Valley? With Grandpa Zhan's cultivation, can't he enter this Grass Spirit Valley to collect medicine?"
After listening to the old man's words, Qiao Yuan asked with a contemplative look on his face, and doubts in his eyes.
"The old man doesn't know exactly why this Grass Spirit Valley was formed, he only knows that there are a lot of medicinal herbs in it, and it is jointly controlled by the four major sects of Chu Shui Kingdom, and it is opened once every twenty years. β
"I heard that the space inside is extremely unstable, so monks above the Jindan stage are not allowed to enter it. There are strict regulations on the number of people who enter it every time, one part of the Qi refining cultivators and one part of the foundation building monks. β
Old man Zhan seemed to know that Qiao Yuan was going to ask this, smiled slightly, and sat cross-legged on the ground, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said slowly.
Qiao Yuan thought for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, his expression revealed a dignified expression, and he secretly said in his heart: "This grass spirit valley doesn't sound like a good place, to go or not to go?"
Although Qiao Yuan has never been in the world, his mind is extremely flexible, and his thinking is even more agile, and he suddenly thought of the key points.
Needless to say, the benefits of entering the Grass Spirit Valley are not small, but the danger is not small, looking at the solemn look on the face of the old man Zhan when he said that "space is extremely unstable", he knew that this was a bad signal, although he didn't understand what "space instability" meant.
This is the threat of the Grass Spirit Valley, and the threat from the monks.
The four sects are jointly controlled, although he doesn't know what the relationship between the four sects is, he will not be naΓ―ve to think that the relationship between everyone is as harmonious as the people in Qingfeng Village, and the most important thing is that there is a foundation building monk entering it, which makes him a small Qi refining fourth-layer monk how to survive in it.
"You said that the Grass Spirit Valley is controlled by the four major sects, so how can I enter?"
Qiao Yuan thought about it again and again, but decided to learn more about the situation first.
"The old man knows what you are worried about, the old man has thought of these things for you, and he will not let you die in vain. β
Old man Zhan saw this Qiao Yuan frowning and thinking about it, he saw his thoughts at a glance, nodded with an appreciative gaze, and slowly spoke to Qiao Yuan.
"From tomorrow, the old man will help you cultivate and ensure that you reach the perfection of qi refining within a year, and then the old man will send you to the Moon River Sect to participate in the Moon River Sect Grass Spirit Valley Trial Qualification Battle. If you take the first place in the trial qualification battle, you can also get the reward of the top-grade Tsukidan, which is more than enough for you to build the foundation. β
"Okay, two years later, I'll be walking through this grass spirit valley. β
After Qiao Yuan listened to the words of the old man Zhan, the hesitation in his eyes turned into a decisive color, and he stood up directly, laughed and shouted "Okay", and there was an extremely confident temperament in his body.
Old man Zhan looked at Qiao Yuan's confident smile, his eyes showed a deep appreciation, and he naturally had great confidence in Qiao Yuan in his heart.
"This son is really extraordinary, not to mention that his spiritual roots are strange, and he can enter the realm of micro-minds, just his mind and this color of self-confidence are enough to make people pay attention to it. β
Old Man Zhan thought to himself in the bottom of his heart, and with a wave of his right hand forward, a white jade slip flew towards Qiao Yuan.
"Grandpa Zhan, this is ......"
Qiao Yuan stretched out his hand to catch the jade slip, looked at it a few times, and really didn't know what it was.
"You put it on your eyebrows, thinking about this jade slip, and you can see the contents of it. β
Old man Zhan looked puzzled and slowly spoke.
He didn't ask Qiao Yuan's origin and elders, but through some details, he already knew that Qiao Yuan's background was extremely simple, but he didn't know why he came here.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't found a suitable person after searching for more than ten years, and the time was too late, he really didn't dare to let Qiao Yuan do things for him, in case Qiao Yuan had some changes, I was afraid that the people behind him would definitely come to find him trouble.
He knew that if the person behind Qiao Yuan was related to the things in Qiao Yuan's body, then he could almost be said to be certain to die. Therefore, whether it is for Zhan Yao or himself, he must now try his best to help Qiao Yuan improve his cultivation, hoping that Qiao Yuan can come back safely from Caoling Valley.
Old man Zhan didn't expect that Qiao Yuan hadn't even seen Yu Jian, which really made him wonder in his heart, and looking at Qiao Yuan's appearance didn't seem to be a fraud at all, combined with some other details, he could almost determine that Qiao Yuan was a hairy boy who didn't understand anything.
"A hairy boy who doesn't know anything actually has high-grade spirit stones and spirit stones, and how can there be ...... in his body?"
Old man Zhan said secretly in his heart with doubts in his eyes, but after thinking about it halfway, he shook his head, stood up, sighed, and whispered to himself.
"Alas, it's useless to think about it too much, so it's better to think about how to improve his cultivation, but his qualifications ......."
According to the method taught by Old Man Zhan, Qiao Yuan pasted the jade slip to the center of his eyebrows, and his mind was all focused on the jade slip, and after a while, the information of the four major sects, including the Yuehe Sect, appeared in his mind, as well as some information from the Grass Spirit Valley.
"Sun River Sect, Moon River Sect, Star River Sect, Moon Water Sect ......"
Qiao Yuan took a brief look at the information of the four major sects, he had read the books given to him by Tie Mo when he was in Qingfeng Village, some of the books in them were about the sects, and he still had some understanding of these four sects, so he focused on the information of the Grass Spirit Valley.
The books that Tie Mo gave him also recorded some trials and dangers, but there was no such Grass Spirit Valley, which made him really curious.
Qiao Yuan sat directly on the ground with the jade slip and carefully read the content of the Grass Spirit Valley.
Old man Zhan did not leave, but sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated.
Caoling Valley is located in the dense forests of Chu Mountain in the southern part of Chu Water Country, and is closest to the Yuehe Sect and the Yueshui Sect.
It exists in a spatial rift, and first appeared in the dense forest of Chu Mountain a hundred years ago, when it caused a great wave in the Nantai Continent, where the Chu Water Country is located, and there were more than sixty Yuanying monks rushing to the dense forest of Chu Mountain from all over the continent, and there were countless Jindan monks.
However, after the twelve Yuanying Monks and the twenty-eight Jindan Monks were shattered by the spatial crack before they entered the Grass Spirit Valley, everyone thought that this was a Jedi.
It wasn't until a foundation-building monk entered the Grass Spirit Valley and brought out dozens of rare medicinal materials from it intact that many Yuanying monks knew that this was a treasure land, but because of the restriction of cultivation, it was classified as a place of trial for low-level monks.
Because the Grass Spirit Valley is located in the territory of the Chu Water Kingdom, the four major sects of the Chu Water Kingdom are strongly united, and they want to expel the people of the other sects from the territory in order to monopolize this treasure land.
But how could the other Yuanying monks present at that time agree, and a scuffle directly broke out for this reason, and then this far-reaching melee was called the Battle of Grass Spirit Valley.
Although the four major sects are the head snakes of the Chu Water Kingdom, and there are several times more monks than other sects, there are many sects in the Nantai Continent, and there are more than ten sects sent to come, and there are many scattered cultivators, which add up to an unstoppable force.
The two forces fought against each other, suffered heavy casualties, and countless Zhuji monks died, but most of them were casual cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
There were hundreds of dead and wounded Jindan monks, and even the Yuanying monks also fell five people, and in the end, the two Taishang elders of the Yuehe Sect and the Yueshui Sect came out of the retreat and suppressed the melee with their Yuanying Great Perfection cultivation, and two foreign Yuanying monks died in the hands of the Taishang Elder of the Yuehe Sect.
A day later, the battle of the Grass Spirit Valley, which had fallen five Yuanying monks and hundreds of Jindan monks, spread throughout the Nantai Continent, causing an uproar.
As long as a monk from the sect died in the battle of Caoling Valley, they immediately sent a large number of monks to the Chu Water Kingdom to ask the four sects for explanation.
Of course, they were not fighting again, but to fight for the qualification to enter the Grass Spirit Valley, and the battle in the Grass Spirit Valley seemed to attract the attention of all the sects in the Nantai Continent, and they all wanted to go and get a piece of the pie.
There were even some sects that did not participate in the battle of Grass Spirit Valley at all, and also said that some of the dead loose cultivators were monks of their own sect, so as to raise the banner and go forward to fight for Grass Spirit Valley.
At that time, under the malicious spread of some monks, the Grass Spirit Valley had become a peerless treasure land full of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
There is an extremely exaggerated statement, in the Grass Spirit Valley, a foundation-building monk tripped over a stone while walking, and directly planted himself on a jade lingzhi the size of a grinding plate, but the monk didn't even look at it, and grabbed three Mingxin grass with a casual grab, and it was not a stone that tripped him, but a rock and iron gold the size of a skull.
Qiao Yuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, withdrew from the state of closing his eyes, and shook his head and laughed with the jade slip.
"It's ridiculous that the Tsukiji monk tripped over a treasure......"
After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the jade slip and pressed it to the center of his eyebrows, and studied it.
At that time, the situation was extremely critical, fifteen foreign sects, plus many scattered cultivators, a total of more than sixty Yuanying monks rushed to Chushui Kingdom, and there were countless Jindan Zhuji monks.
This force makes the four sects have to be taken seriously, if it is not handled carefully, this may be a storm that sweeps the entire Nantai continent, and Chu Shuiguo is in the center of the storm, and it is not impossible for the four major sects to be destroyed.
Therefore, at that time, all the monks of the Yuan Infant Stage of the four retreats were out of the customs, except for those who were in retreat, a total of more than forty Yuan Infant monks were gathered, and there were as many as eight monks of the Yuan Infant Great Perfection, and after everyone discussed, it was decided to gather all the monks to the Moon River Sect for a discussion on the qualifications to enter the Grass Spirit Valley.
Seven days later, the fifteen sects and all the scattered cultivators gathered in the Yuehe Sect, plus the monks of the four major sects, at that time, the monks near the Yuehe Sect once reached as many as one million, of course, only the Yuanying monks were qualified to enter the Yuehe Sect.
More than 100 Yuanying monks gathered together, what a spectacular scene, there are few meetings of this scale in the South Thai continent.
Although the process was bumpy, under the deterrence of the eight Yuanying Dzogchen monks, the discussion lasted for three days and three nights before it was over.
The result of the discussion was that the four sects had sixty percent of the qualified number to enter the Grass Spirit Valley, while the rest of the sects had forty percent of the qualified people, and three of the three sects each fell a Yuan Infant Cultivator, and these three sects could add one more person.
Although many people were dissatisfied with this result, they still had to agree under the deterrence of the eight Yuanying Great Perfection monks.
And after they came to Chu Shuiguo, they also went to the Grass Spirit Valley to inspect it, although they couldn't go in, but it was not at all like the rumors said, the Grass Spirit Valley was a treasure land full of heavenly materials and earth treasures, and there was even great danger.
The dispute in the Grass Spirit Valley was temporarily resolved peacefully through negotiation, although it was resolved on the surface, but the secret contention between the sects continued endlessly.
