Chapter 8: The Unlucky Floating Jade Toad

The floating jade mountain is extremely magical, it is a mountain and two colors, perennial clouds and mist, the part exposed outside the sea of clouds is as white as jade, but the mountainside is no different from the general peaks, it is full of verdant mountains and forests, there are deep caves at the foot of the mountain, the caves meander downward, the turbulent water will gush out at a fixed hour every day, and the sources of the nine streams and eighteen streams around the floating jade mountain are here.

Legend has it that these caves can lead to the deepest part of the sacred mountain, and there are countless genius treasures inside, but they have never been confirmed for thousands of years.

More than three thousand years ago, several elders of the Floating Jade Sect felt that their longevity was short because they could not break through the infancy period, and they worked together to find an opportunity, but there was no news from them, and it was not until hundreds of years later that a jade slip was washed out by the current, and there were a few words in it, 'You can't enter until you turn less than nine'.

Since the opening of the Floating Jade Sect, there are very few in the Yuan Infant Period, not to mention the nine turns, since then, the foot of the Floating Jade Divine Mountain has become a forbidden place for the entire Floating Jade Sect within a radius of 100 miles.

The Floating Jade Han Toad is one of the most famous genius treasures in the Floating Jade Mountain.

Legend has it that the floating jade cold toad is the spiritual milk in the belly of the floating jade mountain, and it is a treasure that can help grow immortal seedlings, which is extremely rare, and the floating jade sect has only had two heads since its opening, and now it has been extinct for thousands of years.

It is said that although this thing is wonderful, but its internal cold poison is incomparable, the monks under the god period do not persuade to use, even a light touch will be turned into ice sculpture, so the floating jade cold toad is also known as the floating jade poison toad, only after the cold poison is removed is the real genius treasure.

But this is a water mill kung fu to remove the cold poison, and it needs to be wrapped in vitality and slowly refined, only one trace at a time, and it will take several years to connect with the masters of the Dan stage.

In fact, most of the legends in the world are the result of some things that have been falsely rumored, but some are still very reliable.

There is a magical place in the deepest part of the belly of the floating jade god mountain, which is a grotto of several zhang in length and width, and there are thousands of strange stalactites hanging on it, which are different from ordinary stalactites, these stones all exude milky white light, reflecting the grotto in a dark and mysterious way. But strangely, this place that should have been dark and damp was so dry that there was not even a trace of moisture on the ground or on the rock wall.

In the center of the grotto, is a stalactite that can only be hugged by several people, white and delicate stone, shaped like a lady's milk, the most wonderful thing is that there is a blood-red bulge at the bottom, just like **, and only there is a small pool under this stone, and the pool is a pool of milky white liquid.

The stalactite will drip a drop of spiritual milk every nine years, and this pool in the pool has been accumulated for thousands of years, this year, it should have been the time when the spiritual milk was dripping, but what was dripping was a drop of blood-red thing.

The drop seemed to be a living thing, as soon as it fell into the pool, the surrounding spiritual milk was bubbling and bubbling, and it didn't take long for a full pool of spiritual milk to disappear without a trace, and there was a small toad in the pool, milky white all over, the size of a thumb, and a little red cinnabar mark on the forehead.

This is the floating jade cold toad.

It is the essence of heaven and earth, born with spiritual intelligence, as soon as it is born, it follows its instinct to forage for food, croaks softly, and then jumps out of the pool, following the smell of the elixir out of a small cave next to the grotto.

There are many secret realms in the belly of this floating jade mountain, and there are countless treasures of all kinds of geniuses, as long as it is not as curious as some of its predecessors, running around and only being caught by someone outside the mountain, these things can fully support it until it completes its first transformation.

When its first metamorphosis is over, it can turn into a floating jade cold, and it can enter the eternal secluded pool under the floating jade god mountain to practice, until it turns into a cold Jiao, and then the heaven and earth are at its mercy.

Although it is still only a small cold toad, the cold poison on its body is enough to protect itself, and few of the demon beasts and spirit beasts in the belly of this mountain dare to provoke it.

It drilled through the caves, the aroma of the elixir was getting closer and closer, it had not eaten since its birth, and it couldn't help but be in high spirits, and even the cinnabar on its forehead showed a little red glow, which was a sign of its good mood.

Just ahead, in the middle of a waterhole several zhang wide, there was a silver reef, and on the reef there was an elixir with a fiery red body and leaves like the tail of a phoenix.

Han Toad is overjoyed, although it belongs to Yin, but it likes this kind of fire-based elixir, and this strain in front of it is the best!

The cinnabar on its forehead became brighter, and it jumped over in a hurry, and when it reached the edge of the pool, it jumped towards the reef, and suddenly a black shadow appeared in the water, and a tongue a foot wide and full of barbs was rolled against it, and it swallowed it with a grunt.

Is there anything in the belly of this mountain that dares to eat me? Ah, it hurts, let's die together! This was the last thought of the cold toad, and he released all the cold poison in his body at this moment.

The round black shadow of a few feet turned into an ice sculpture in an instant, and fell into the pool next to it with a pop, and in a short time, even the pool formed a thick block of ice.

It wasn't until thousands of years later that the ice in the waterhole melted, and one day, a dead monster was washed out of the cave beneath the mountain with the daily tides, and flowed out of the forbidden area with the rushing water.

There is a stone mountain three hundred miles outside the floating jade god mountain, there are no trees on the mountain, the mountain body has many holes, there is clear water gurgling down in each hole hole, just like a thin bead chain hanging on the mountain, so it is called the water curtain mountain.

More than 1,000 years ago, a monk of the Fuyu Sect opened a branch after breaking through the Yudan period, and placed the entrance of the hall on the Water Curtain Mountain, and the monk's surname was Zheng, which was renamed Zhengshan.

The Zheshan Hall is one of the most powerful branches of the Floating Jade Sect except for the Five Divine Halls, and that Ancestor of the Yudan Stage is now a Yuan Infant, and he is a big man in the entire Floating Jade Sect.

Her father is a blood relative of the ancestors, but she is a concubine, and her father went down the mountain during the opening of a sect and left the blood of a mortal royal princess. Zhao Tong Tong has been smart since childhood, and when the last time he opened the sect, the father and daughter recognized each other, and she had fairy seedlings, so she was taken up the mountain.

However, her immortal seedlings are only one inch and two points, and her qualifications are really not good, and her cheap father is a flowery person, and she has many children, where can she take care of her? After three years of tossing, she has only entered the qi induction period, and now she is fourteen years old, and the foundation building period is still far away.

Fortunately, she is beautiful and cute, although she grew up in the mortal royal family, she doesn't have that kind of princess temper, and her personality is gentle and accessible, and she is quite loved by her peers in the Zheshan Hall, and some senior brothers also like to take her around on weekdays.

In the vicinity of the Floating Jade Divine Mountain, although most of the peaks have become the branch of the hall, but there are many dense forests, canyons, and caves at the foot of the mountain, there are still many places where you can collect good medicinal materials or hunt valuable demon beasts, and it is close to the hall entrance, there is no major danger, it is the most suitable place for those Qi and Foundation Building Realm disciples to explore and hunt for treasures.

On this day, Ji Tong Tong followed a few senior brothers to a place called Tangting Jian next to Ji Mountain.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Ji Tongtong sat on a rock by the stream, took off his shoes and socks, stretched out a pair of white jade feet in the stream, and playfully played with a round pebble under the water.

She was only fourteen years old, and she had not yet fully grown up, but even then she was very pretty, she was not tall, but she was petite and cute, wearing an ordinary robe, and her hem was rolled up when she played in the water, revealing a pair of slender calves, and her skin was like clotted fat. She has a pair of smart eyes, the eye waves seem to be bright when they flow, and her face is still a little baby fat, but her skin is like jade that can be broken by blowing, and her face is pink and tender as if she can pinch out water.

After coming to this courtyard stream, several senior brothers went into the water and didn't know what they were looking for, and at first he thought they were touching the fish, but from noon to now, he followed the stream for more than ten miles in a few hours, but he didn't even touch a piece of fish scales.

"Senior Sister Tongtong, come down too, maybe you will be lucky and you can find something good all at once!" a senior brother raised his head with a smile.

Ji Tong Tong pouted, turned his hand over, took out a fruit, clicked and gnawed, and said vaguely: "I sent to make up for it... I love to eat fish... ”

The senior brother laughed and said, "Whatever you want, if you really want to find something good, you must have your share!"

The two of them were chatting, and Ji Tongtong's eyes suddenly widened, and he tried to swallow the fruit in his mouth, pointing to the upper reaches of the stream and exclaiming, "Senior brother, what is that?"

Not long after, several senior brothers came ashore, and a group of people surrounded a strange-looking monster and watched.

Ji Tongtong was the most curious, lowered his little head, and got closer.

What is this swollen body with messy barbs on it, like a hedgehog with a swollen belly?

One of the eldest brothers looked at it carefully, and finally sighed and said, "I thought it was a good thing, just a little glutton... ”

"Gluttony, isn't this a mythical beast? We have made a fortune?"

"Haha, this little gluttony is not a divine beast, it is the most useless thing, it is useless except for a good appetite for eating everything, because they are really delicious, so they are given the nickname of little gluttony. On weekdays, its body is flat, and it only bulges so big when it is foraging, so I didn't recognize it at once. ”

"It's useless, isn't it?" Ji Tongtong was quite disappointed, and thought that it would be some valuable monster beast, which could be exchanged for some talisman money, she poked the barb on the monster's body with her hand, and shrank back with a hiss: "Good ice... ”

The senior brother nodded: "Well, there were a lot of these things, they belonged to the lowest level of beasts, their wisdom was not opened, and they were not even demon beasts, in the places where it often haunted, as long as they casually made a trap and hung a piece of pork, they could be caught, and then it slowly became extinct because it was too easy to catch, and now it has not been seen for a long time." ”

"Is it useless at all?" Ji Tongtong was still a little unwilling, she hadn't used the Yuan Dan for two months, and her cultivation had been stagnant.

"It can't be said that it's useless at all, when the little gluttony is alive, the acid secreted in the stomach is a highly toxic medicine, and a few halls are still accepted, but after it dies, those acids will inexplicably become useless liquid, and now only its stomach is worth a little money, and it can be boiled when it is cleaned, and it is also a good ingredient, and it can be exchanged for a small amount of money when handed over to the dining room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

"Can I exchange it for a small amount of money... Ji Tongtong's eyes suddenly lit up, she has been a small money fan since she was a child, a small amount of money is nothing to those senior brothers who build the foundation realm, but it is still quite tempting to her.

"Hehe, junior sister, if you want to take it, let's go into the water to find it, this hall stream originates from the floating jade god mountain, and occasionally there will be vitality stones washed out... ”

"Ah, there is a vitality stone, senior brother, didn't you say it earlier!" Zhao Tongtong hurriedly put the little gluttony into his Sumeru ring, and jumped into the water with a pop.

This Sumeru ring is the only gift her father gave her, and it is also her most precious thing, you know, many senior brothers in the refining realm don't have it, which is why many senior brothers like to take her with them when they go out to explore and hunt for treasures.

They say it's an expedition to find treasures, but in fact, there are so many treasures to find, most of the time it's to hunt some monsters and the like, it's actually more reliable to say that they come out to hunt, many of those monsters are huge, and there is a Sumeru ring, so it's much easier to put up the prey.
