Chapter 068: Checking the Spiritual Root
"What kind of spiritual liquid are you talking about?", Huang Hua looked at the giant hole in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little worried, his "Tiangan Liujia Array" is not an ordinary defensive access control, but an offensive magic array that requires a certain space and distance to cast, if you have to set up a formation in the cave, this formation will definitely be greatly reduced by conditions.
"The kind of spiritual fluid I want to collect is called 'Spirit Wood Alcohol Liquid', and this kind of alcohol is generated from a spirit wood called 'Cold Yin Wood', and this kind of 'Cold Yin Wood' likes yin and damp air the most, so it can only grow in this dark hole in the ground."
Huang Hua didn't care what kind of cold yin wood or "spirit wood alcohol liquid" was used to pour the bottom, anyway, there was no record in his book "General Outline of Fairy Grass", what he was most concerned about now was whether there were demon beasts in the vicinity and in the cave, and how many levels of demon beasts there were, he just wanted to quickly help Zou Shuniang collect the alcohol liquid, and then get the pill and leave immediately.
"Zou Daoyou, I want to set up the magic circle at the entrance of the cave first and then go in to check, if there are no demon beasts in it, then you can quickly collect the spiritual liquid, but if there is really a demon beast, then we will lead it outside the cave and use the formation to trap and kill it, what do you think?", Huang Hua scanned the cave with his divine thoughts, but did not find anything, but for the sake of safety, Huang Hua decided to set up the formation first.
"Hehe, Huang Daoyou is really delicate, but it's getting late today, and it took a lot of mana before, let's rest for one night, and go in early tomorrow morning to see how about it?", Zou Shuniang showed a charming smile again.
Huang Hua looked at the sky, nodded, and then followed Zou Shuniang to a flat ground on the mountainside to meditate and rest.
Early the next morning, after Huang Hua laid out the "Tiangan Liujia Array" outside the entrance of the cave, he entered the cave with Zou Shuniang.
The entrance of the cave is very wide, the space is also very high, there are many inverted stone milk on the top, there is a rugged passage leading to the depths, the two glanced at each other, then carefully walked slowly along the passage to the depths of the cave, after walking about a pillar of incense, the passage began to extend underground, the cave began to become narrow, and the light suddenly dimmed, Zou Shuniang took out a piece of moonstone from the bracelet and held it above her head to illuminate, and Huang Hua followed behind her and continued to move forward.
After turning a few corners in the cave and walking for about half a pillar of incense, the two came to the end of the cave, the end of the cave seemed to be a huge wormhole, and the four corners of the wormhole were scattered with some hatched egg shells, but there were no phantom insects, and on the walls of the cave, there were dozens of cracks in gravel of different depths, which should have been caused by some kind of sharp weapon or claw, it seemed that there had been a fierce fight here before.
In the middle of the ground of the wormhole, there is a flat boulder, on which is placed a jade bottle, and on the top of the cave directly above the boulder, there is a huge stone milk extending downward, on the stone milk, there is a black branch with the length of an arm and two fingers thick, the whole branch only has one branch, and there is only one leaf on the fork, but the strange thing is that this leaf is actually blue, and there is blue liquid oozing.
"Great, it seems that someone helped us lure the demon beast away, you see, this is the jade bottle that those people used to collect spiritual liquid, it's really 'the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind', we have made a lot of money this time, wait for me to see how much has been collected?", Zou Shuniang's face was full of excitement, this is completely effortless.
"Eh, why is it so small, it's not enough at all?" Zou Shuniang frowned after reading the spiritual liquid in the bottle.
"How much do you have to collect to be enough?", Huang Hua also looked at the jade bottle and found that the blue liquid had just covered the bottom of the bottle.
"At least half a bottle is needed, let's wait", Zou Shuniang's eyes flickered a little when she said this.
"Oh, how long will it take to get half a bottle?" Huang Hua didn't notice Zou Shuniang's abnormality.
"Well, it won't take long, it's only more than ten or twenty days", Zou Shuniang said very quietly and quickly.
"What? More than ten or twenty days? Are you mistaken?" Huang Hua was furious all of a sudden, he thought that collecting spiritual liquid was like collecting water and medicine, and it didn't take long, it seemed that he was cheated by this Zou Shu Niang again.
"Okay, you come and help me collect the spiritual liquid, and I'll give you the pill when I'm done, and I haven't said how long it will take, what's wrong? Are you going to regret it now?", Zou Shuniang actually raised her head and looked at Huang Hua with an expressionless face and asked rhetorically.
"You, you, although I promised to help you collect the spiritual liquid and deal with the demon beasts together, but you never told me that it would take so long to collect the spiritual liquid?
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you waiting a few more days? Obviously, you didn't ask clearly and came to blame me, let me tell you, I called you here to help me deal with the demon beasts, and now that there are no demon beasts here, you don't have to take risks, you should have earned it, and blame me?" Zou Shuniang looked righteous and stern, and Huang Hua was speechless for a while.
Huang Hua was depressed, although he couldn't get the Thundering Demon Pill containing the power of the five elements in Lingshan, and he really didn't have anything else to do, but he didn't want to just fall into someone else's trap and become a volunteer worker.
"In that case, I don't want the pill, you can wait slowly, I'll go", Huang Hua was really angry.
"Stop, how can you say just go, don't you know that the most important thing for us cultivators is commitment? How can you not be trustworthy, what if the demon beast suddenly comes back? What if those people came back before?", Zou Shuniang said solemnly again, she was indeed a little worried that this situation would happen.
"I, then, what should we do now, will we wait in the cave?", although Huang Hua was angry, he couldn't say anything about Zou Shu Niang, but he listened to Zou Shu Niang's words, yes, what if the demon beast came back, so he changed his mind.
"It is estimated that it will be dangerous to die in the cave, or let's go and wait outside the cave, if the demon beast comes, you can fight, you can fight, you can still run, anyway, this bottle and spiritual liquid will not run, we will come in and get it again in more than ten or twenty days, do you say this is good? Huang Daoyou", Zou Shuniang saw that Huang Hua no longer insisted on leaving, and her tone was much softer.
"Okay, then we'll go outside and wait", Huang Hua took the lead outside after speaking, although Huang Hua had decided to stay and continue to help Zou Shuniang collect the spiritual liquid, but Huang Hua's heart was still a little annoyed, after all, it felt uncomfortable to be kept in the dark.
Out of the cave, Huang Hua put away the magic circle, and then the two of them flew to the mountainside where they rested yesterday.
"Are we going to wait here for twenty days?", after finding a place to sit down, Huang Hua asked Zou Shuniang.
"Yes, just wait here, I only have two purposes for entering the mountain this time, one is to collect this spiritual liquid, and the other is to collect this spiritual liquid, well, you don't have to worry about it, but in addition, I also want to collect some other rare elixirs to improve my alchemy level, because I am only a middle-level alchemist now, and I still need to refine some more mid-to-high-level elixirs to continue to improve, but it is too dangerous to collect medicines, so I won't go", Zou Shuniang stroked the hair in front of her forehead and said lightly.
"Oh, it turns out that you are still an alchemist, I know that your Qingyun Sect has always been famous for alchemy, and it is disrespectful and disrespectful", although Huang Hua was angry in his heart, but if he really wanted to stay together for more than 20 days, he couldn't help but speak, so he chatted with Zou Shuniang.
"Where is it? Oh yes, what sect is Huang Daoyou? Can you say it now? Although you are only in the early stage of foundation building, you have advanced formation self-defense, I guess you must have a great background", Zou Shuniang began to be curious about Huang Hua's origin.
"Hehe, I didn't lie to you, I'm really just a casual cultivator, believe it or not", Huang Hua smiled bitterly.
"How is it possible, you must be a relative or proud disciple of the head of a certain sect, otherwise how could you have a high-level formation? I guess you must have other high-level magic weapons besides the formation, right? These high-level treasures, not to mention scattered cultivation, even the most proud disciples of the same level in our Qingyun Sect can't have them, don't tell me that you bought them, even if you bought them, then at least a thousand spirit stones, how could ordinary disciples afford them", Zou Shuniang stared at Huang Hua carefully after speaking.
"Don't look at me like this, okay? I really don't have a sect, if I am really a relative or disciple of the head of those major sects, I must want something, how can I enter Lingshan only in the early stage of cultivation?
"Huh? You're right, if you're really a proud disciple of the Great Gate Sect, why do you want to come here? But if you're just a casual cultivator, how can you have so many treasures? Even if you bought it, then where did your spirit stone come from? When did you become so rich? Did you find a spirit stone mine?" Zou Shuniang became more and more curious about Huang Hua, and her guesses became more and more outrageous.
"Lingshi Mine, sister, you think too much", Huang Hua suddenly habitually teased in secular language.
"What sister, although my cultivation is higher than you, but you are obviously older than me, you should call me little sister, hehehe, yes, it's been many years, since I practiced, I have always been a senior brother and sister, a senior Taoist friend, I am annoyed, hey, why don't you just call me Zou Xiaomei in the future, I will call you Brother Huang", Zou Shuniang said this, and actually showed an expression of expectation.
"Eh, are we so familiar with each other? Zou Xiaomei? It's not good, I want to think about it, aren't you called Zou Shuniang? That's obviously the mother-in-law from Sichuan and Shu, I'll call you Zou Mother-in-law, hahahaha", chatting and chatting, Huang Hua forgot all the unhappiness that happened before, and boldly joked with Zou Shuniang.
