Chapter 10: The Valley of Trials
"You, why did you agree to let me follow you?"
"Then why did you offer to come with me?"
Fu Qingqiong's fluttering words made Xiao Mian speechless.
Fortunately, I have known Fu Qingqiong for almost two years, and Xiao Mian is used to Fu Qingqiong's way of speaking.
If Fu Qingqiong is unwilling to explain something, Xiao Mian will only make her more silent if she continues to ask, it is better to take the initiative to change the topic or simply be more silent than her.
Xiao Mian wisely chose the latter.
The Valley of Trials, only a hundred miles away from the Mountain Gate of the Five Elements Gate, is specially allocated by the Five Elements Gate for the disciples of the sect for trials, although there are no high-grade heavenly treasures in it, but if you are lucky, you can still find some herbs that are hundreds of years old.
Although some of these herbs cannot be directly used to refine Tsukidan, they can be exchanged for sect contribution points through the Deacon Hall, and then exchange the contribution points for Tsukidan.
This is the most important way for many outer disciples to get the Zhuji Dan, after all, the vast majority of outer disciples are not qualified to fight for the master.
This time he came to the Trial Valley, it was the first time that Xiao Mian had left the Five Elements Gate in the past few years of cultivation, and the excitement accompanied by nervousness had always made Xiao Mian's nerves highly tense, and unconsciously, he began to check his equipment again.
Qingfeng sword, five elements robe, are the lowest level of magic weapons, Xiao Mian has already completed the sacrifice, this sword robe, one attack and one defense, although the power is limited, it is enough to deal with ordinary beasts, not to mention Xiao Mian's killer weapon is the mixed yuan stone hidden in the storage bag.
"Is there really a hundred-year-old spirit grass here?" While following Fu Qingqiong's footsteps, while looking at the weeds around him, Xiao Mian asked with some suspicion, "Even if there is really a spirit grass, I'm afraid it will have already been picked up by the previous senior brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, right?"
"The resources of the cultivation world are limited, and the sect rarely does those things that are exhausted, and every ten years, the sect will send people into the Valley of Trials, or transplant some spiritual grass seedlings, or plant some seeds, so as to maintain the balance of herbs in the valley. Of course, none of these herbs can be too valuable, after all, this is only for the trials of outer disciples. ”
Explaining casually, Fu Qingqiong suddenly bent down.
Xiao Mian saw Fu Qingqiong take out a small jade shovel from the storage bag and pick out a spiritual grass hidden in the wild grass.
Qianqianyu carefully pinched the turquoise grass with her hand, Fu Qingqiong's face was full of joy, obviously, this seemed to be a good harvest.
"Luckily, sixty years of second-order Biyu Grass is enough to exchange for a bottle of Qi Benefiting Pill. ”
Green grass?
Xiao Mian stepped forward curiously, but he couldn't see the difference between this so-called Biyu grass and wild grass, and it was difficult to speak because of his face.
Fu Qingqiong glanced back at him, thoughtful but didn't say anything.
The two cleaned up and continued on their way.
Fu Qingqiong seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the Trial Valley, and specially selected some overgrown places to travel.
It's just that after that, the two walked for three hours without any gain.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fu Qingqiong didn't dare to go deeper blindly, so she and Xiao Mian went up to the tree for the night.
When Xiao Mian was woken up by Fu Qingqiong, he opened his eyes and saw that the night was thick.
"But something happened?"
"No, there are some spiritual grasses and spiritual materials in the Valley of Trials, but they only appear at night! It's just the danger of the night......"
"Now that you have entered the Valley of Trials, some danger is naturally inevitable!"
“...... You'll follow me, be smart!"
Obviously, Fu Qingqiong wanted to talk about the Trial Valley at night, otherwise she wouldn't wake up Xiao Mian in the middle of the night, and what she was worried about was just the danger of night activities.
Xiao Mian knew that Fu Qingqiong urgently needed to build a foundation pill, and he also knew that Fu Qingqiong was worried about his safety, but when he thought of his dignified seven-foot man, he actually wanted a weak woman like Fu Qingqiong*, Xiao Mian's blood was churning, and he got up a little......
Instead of encountering any danger during this night's exploration, Fu Qingqiong really found a lot of spiritual grass and spiritual materials that had not been discovered during the day.
Among them, there is a blood vine with medicinal effects of up to 100 years, although it cannot be refined into Tsukuji Dan, but it can refine some high-grade hemostatic pills.
It must be known that Qi cultivation period monks are only the bottom existence among monks after all, strictly speaking, they can't even be called monks, they are just more powerful mortals.
It is common to collect some flesh wounds on weekdays.
The top-grade hemostatic pill may not be of much use to monks above the foundation building period, but it is a very useful thing for monks in the qi cultivation period.
After that, for three days, they stayed day and night, walked and stopped, ate wild meat when they were hungry, drank mountain springs when they were thirsty, and the two of them walked around the east and west, just like an outing, and they also got a lot of medicinal materials.
It's just that most of them are ordinary herbs that are not in the product, but there is no herb that can be compared to the Biyu grass or the blood vine......
On the fourth day of the two entering the Valley of Trials, an accident happened.
The two had been cruising in a jungle before, and when they were about to penetrate the jungle and enter the wilderness, without warning, Fu Qingqiong, who was exploring the way in front, stopped, and even raised his hand to give Xiao Mian an instruction to stay in place.
Although Xiao Mian didn't know why, he also knew that Fu Qingqiong must have made all the discoveries.
Following Fu Qingqiong's guidance, through the sparse shrubs, Xiao Mian turned to look and saw a low-lying pond among the grasses thirty or forty zhang away.
The pond is just that, after all, in the Valley of Trials, there are mostly such water, mountains and rocks.
What really made Xiao Mian care was the two people who were now standing on both sides of the pond.
As soon as his eyes touched the two of them, Xiao Mian had a hint of enlightenment.
Is this fate? or is there *?
But it turned out that the two people in front of them were Li Gu and Luo Yi!
Having said that, Li Gu and Luo Yi originally didn't know each other, but because they were also defeated by Xiao Mian's men in the previous Shenglong Fight, they felt sorry for each other.
After many years, the two people who practiced qi at the seventh or eighth level at the beginning have also cultivated higher and higher, and now Li Gu is already cultivating at the tenth level of qi training, and Luo Yi is at a higher level.
Although the Zhuji Dan can only be taken after the Great Perfection Realm during the Qi Cultivation Period, for the two of them, it is not easy to get enough Zhuji Dan, and therefore, after Li Gu broke through to the tenth layer of Qi Training, the two of them made an appointment to come to this Trial Valley.
The purpose, like Fu Qingqiong, is to come for Zhujidan.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Mian guessed the cause and effect of the two of them appearing in the Valley of Trials.
It is precisely because of this that when Xiao Mian's eyes touched the mottled flowers and leaves in the middle of the pond, he had a clear understanding.
This clump of mottled flowers and leaves, Xiao Mian knows it.
This thing is called rush grass, and according to Fu Qingqiong, rush grass is one of the three main medicinal materials needed to refine Zhuji Dan.
Obviously, Li Gu and Luo Yi are not without chance.
It's a pity that there seems to be only one rush grass, but there are two people.
instantly understood Xiao Mian, who suddenly confronted each other after the two discovered the rush grass, and turned his gaze to Fu Qingqiong.
Senior Sister Fu, don't you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?
If Li Gu and Luo Yi died together for a rush grass, Xiao Mian wouldn't mind taking the sheep by the hand.
But now......
Xiao Mian was thinking so crankily, and over there, Li Gu and Luo Yi couldn't bear it anymore.
To be precise, Li Gu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
It must be known that Li Gu's cultivation is already one level lower than Luo Yi, and Luo Yi has that shield to protect himself, if the two fight, Li Gu will be more than lucky.
"Senior Brother Luo, before this trial, we have said that what we have obtained in this trial valley, those who see it have a share, one person and half, right?" When Li Gu said this, he saw Luo Yi staring at him with a pair of eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a chill, and hurriedly said: "Little brother is willing to give all this rush grass to Senior Brother, I don't know if it's okay?"
“...... Oh, what's so embarrassing?"
"Senior Brother Luo is already cultivating at the eleventh level of Qi cultivation, and if he goes further, he will be able to reach the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Training, and naturally he needs this rush grass more than me! I just hope that Senior Brother Luo will successfully build the foundation and become an inner disciple in the future, and in addition to looking for Xiao Mian to take revenge, he can bring his little brother to ......" Speaking of this, seeing that Luo Yi was silent, Li Gu said in a loud voice: "Please also ask Senior Brother Luo to collect medicine, and the little brother will look at the wind for you!"
Although Li Gu said it sincerely, Luo Yi looked unimpressed.
