187 Fight for Spirit Grass
The Internet was cut off at home last night, and I didn't come for a long time, and I didn't have a USB flash drive, so I couldn't go to the Internet café. I bought a USB flash drive early in the morning and went to the Internet café to surf the Internet.
Ye Chen held the golden spirit sword and walked carefully on the hot rocky ground, he saw that on a sandy ground a few zhang in front of him, there were several unknown fire-colored low-level spirit grasses, one of which also had a red pill fruit on it, exuding a faint spiritual fragrance, which was very attractive and tempting.
Although it is not just a fruit, just by smelling the fragrance of this spirit, you can also judge that it is a spirit fruit, not a poisonous poisonous fruit.
Such a spirit fruit, even if it is not used for alchemy, it can be eaten raw directly to withstand the effect of a lowest-order first-order vitality pill, which is somewhat beneficial to cultivation. You must know that demon beasts don't know how to do alchemy, they all directly eat the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, so as to obtain the vitality of heaven and earth.
Alchemists like to refine spirit grass and spirit fruit into pills according to the alchemy formula, purify and remove slag, which has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, and is easy to preserve for a long time. If you don't have an alchemy formula, you can eat it raw.
Ye Chen didn't immediately go to pick the spirit fruit, and looked at the surrounding environment with a vigilant gaze to see if there were any demon insects and beasts.
But all spiritual objects, even the lowest-level spiritual objects, will have guardian demon insects and beasts guarding and occupying them, and it is impossible to be without demon insects and beasts.
Ye Chen calmed down and probed into the rocks around this Fire Spirit Grass, even the small cracks, but strangely, he didn't find anything.
His gaze finally fixed suspiciously on the sand on the ground below the low-level spirit grass, and his divine sense probed over.
A very faint insect and beast aura lurked under the sand of this fire-colored spirit grass, covering its body with sand and motionless. If you don't carefully use your divine sense to infiltrate the sand to investigate, I'm afraid you will ignore this faint breath.
"Hiding under the sand, it's so cunning! If there are other demon beasts to pick the spirit fruit, it will suddenly burst out of the sand and hit it with one blow! Even a demon beast that is much stronger than it may die. ”
Ye Chen said secretly in his heart.
He held the golden spirit sword in his hand, and stabbed it quickly under the sand.
"Poof!"
The spirit sword pierced the insect beast under the sand, and a stream of red liquid splashed out of the sand, and was quickly sucked up by the dry sand.
Ye Chen pulled out the spirit sword, only to see a five-inch-long sand scorpion pierced at the tip of the sword, and the scorpion tail stabbed wildly around, not yet dead. He shook his hand and threw the half-dead sand scorpion off the distance.
Then, he picked the fire-colored fruit on this spirit grass, wiped it, and ate it raw, and soon felt a faint flow of Yuan Qi in his abdomen, flowing into the meridians. It's a pity that the grade of this spirit fruit is too low, and it still has some effect on Qi refining stage cultivators, but the effect is very weak for a foundation building early stage cultivator like him.
This spirit fruit was taken by the way, and Ye Chen continued to search for it in the depths of the second layer of the cave.
He wasn't moving fast.
No monk had ever entered the second floor of this Flame Mountain Cave before, and there was no map to refer to, and there might be dangers lurking in every place! If you're lucky, you might be able to find a good amount of spiritual artifacts and make a fortune right away. If you are unlucky, you will encounter a powerful demon beast, or an erupting earth flame, and you may die at any time!
Ye Chen didn't want to take too much risk, preferring to be slower. He entered the second layer of the cave mainly to find out all the situations here, and it was best to draw a map of the entire Earth Flame Mountain, so as to report accurate information to the Immortal Gate.
And the search for spiritual objects is only a matter of his way.
As Ye Chen walked forward, he kept in mind the environment along the way.
In case of danger and you need to retreat, it is better to retreat along this safe road. You must know that since you can see the third-order raptor fire dove on the second floor of this cave, the possibility of encountering demon beasts above the fourth order is also very high.
Ye Chen walked for a while and looked around. This area is sparsely populated, and the monks who entered the cave have already dispersed into many large and small teams, quickly heading in different directions, searching for spiritual objects.
The direction Ye Chen chose was small, about a hundred or so. As you go deeper into the second floor of the cave, the figures of the monks that can be seen along the way decrease. Occasionally, you can see the corpses of low-level insects and beasts, which are dismembered by the monks' swords. Many low-level spiritual objects in conspicuous places were picked by the monks.
He walked another five or six miles.
Ye Chen saw that two miles ahead, a steep rock wall, a ravine, and a crack in the ground, was spewing out a large amount of fire aura and flames. And above this steep rock wall, there are more than ten spiritual grasses.
The ravines continued to spew flames, releasing fire aura, and they grew better.
The pupa of the fire borer, which resembles a fire borer several inches long, is actually a fourth-order spirit grass with extremely high elixir medicinal value. It can be used to refine the Yuan Qi Pill used by monks in the foundation building period.
Red Flame Grass! Three-leaf Red Flame Grass, a common fire-based third-order spirit grass, can refine various fire-based spirit pills.
On top of this steep cliff, a small patch grows. There are two fire borer grasses, two red flame grasses, and seven or eight first- and second-order spirit grasses with slightly lower value, all of which are fire attribute spirit herbs.
"The total value of these spirit grasses is probably more than one or two thousand spirit stones!"
Ye Chen saw the spiritual herbs on the rock wall in the distance, his eyes moved, and he quickly calculated the value in his heart, and couldn't help but show joy.
"Going to the spiritual land to find spiritual objects is indeed a shortcut to making a fortune. ”
"I want to work in Tianwu Immortal Yuan City to earn money when I was in the Qi refining period, and I can't earn a few spirit stones in a month. But in this spiritual land, venture to find spiritual herbs, once you find a good spiritual herb, it is worth thousands of spiritual stones. ”
"No wonder there are so many treasure hunters and medicine cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, knowing that the spiritual land is very dangerous, they still venture around to find spiritual objects!"
On this steep rock wall, except for the spirit grass, there are no demon insects and beasts. However, if you want to pick those spirit grasses, you must be able to withstand the burning of the flames.
Ye Chen thought about his golden bell jar, which should be able to resist the burning flames for a while, quickly pick those spirit grasses, and return them safely.
Now there are more than a thousand spirit stones, which is not much for Ye Chen, who is already a foundation building stage cultivator. But he wouldn't watch the valuable spirit grass not take it, this was the first time he had ventured in the spirit land to find a spirit object of such value.
Ye Chen was about to fly over, but suddenly stopped.
He saw a faint drop of blood on the ground of the rock wall, his eyes shrank, his body tensed, and he quickly crouched down to avoid exposing himself.
"A drop of dried blood!"
"The fire aura in the cave is very hot, and once a drop of fresh blood falls on the ground, the moisture inside will quickly evaporate, leaving dry blood traces on the ground. It is impossible to tell when this drop of blood was left. ”
"Maybe it's the blood stains of the demon beast from a long time ago, or maybe it's the bloodstains that just left. It is likely to be a demon beast, and it is more likely that a monk wanted to pick it before, but was injured here. ”
"Either way, it means there's danger here. ”
"If there are third-order demon beasts and qi refining period cultivators here, you can snatch them yourself. If it is a fourth-order demon beast or a foundation building period cultivator, I am afraid that it will have to consider whether it is worth fighting for this thousand spirit stones. ”
Ye Chen's heart was awe-inspiring, and he applied a water concealment technique to himself.
A faint mask of water balloon covered him, and in the blink of an eye, his form vanished from place.
Ye Chen did not move forward, but moved slowly in the direction of the left, looking at all the places nearby that might hide the traces of insects, beasts, and monks. Either way, it never hurts to be cautious.
He slowly moved for more than a mile before suddenly stopping.
With a calm gaze, he saw the figure of a gray-shirted monk behind a boulder.
After Shui Yin, it is impossible to use his divine sense to probe externally, otherwise the subject of the investigation will immediately feel that he has been swept by other monks with his divine sense, and the stealth latent effect of Shui Yin is almost zero.
Ye Chen could only observe with his eyes, and his means of exploration were somewhat limited.
Behind the boulder, a gray-robed monk of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period was half-lying, with cold sweat on his forehead, holding the Golden Spirit Knife in his right hand, covering a wound in his abdomen with his left hand, and looking at the rocks not far away with hatred.
"That drop of blood was left by this person!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but follow the gray-shirted monk's gaze to look at the rocky bushes, and said secretly, "If nothing else, there is also a late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator here, or a third-order demon beast, who are robbing this spirit grass." ”
Ye Chen relaxed slightly. In this way, the opponent's strength is not strong, and he can still get his hands on these more than ten spiritual herbs worth thousands of spirit stones.
"Damn~!I have been walking in the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm for more than ten years, but I didn't expect the boat to capsize in the gutter today. Your Excellency must be a Treasure Heist who was ambushed here before me?!"
The Grey-shirted Monk's face was filled with rage, and he shouted at the rocks.
He is a treasure hunter and a cultivator, and he dares to walk alone, and his strength is naturally quite good.
Not long ago, he found more than ten spiritual herbs on this rock wall, he just found this place, he was too excited for a while, worried that other monks would come to discover this place, but he only roughly explored the surrounding situation, and failed to carefully explore the rocks in the distance, so he flew up to the rock wall to pick those elixirs.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly plotted by a silver needle spirit weapon shot from the rocks.
He was shot in a needle, and in severe pain, he almost fell into the flames under the rock wall. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and slashed at the rock wall in time, rebounding dozens of feet away before landing behind the boulder.
As a treasure hunter, what he hated the most was not the demon beast, but the treasure hunter who intercepted and killed halfway, specializing in robbing and killing other monks for fun, and looting the treasure hunting monk, which was much more insidious and vicious than the demon beast.
"Quack, what's the matter! The spirit herbs worth more than one or two thousand spirit stones are enough to make people feel tempted and fight hard. Wouldn't it be better to add to your possessions and scrape together thousands of dollars!"
A gloomy sneer came from the rocks.
