Chapter 35: The Stalker

The difficulty of refining Zhuji Dan not only lies in the variety of elixirs required, but also a large number of each one, because the failure rate of refining Zhuji Dan is extremely high, and the probability of success in refining is not even one percent, and it needs to be refined many times, so it is not good to have insufficient medicinal materials.

Is there only one copy? Zhang Xiaomai took the little demon ginseng in his hand and began to examine it carefully.

The little demon ginseng in front of him is about half a foot long, the roots are complex, the upper part is round, and it is full of various lines, especially the medicinal pattern is very strange, it is like an ugly face of a monster, and the name of the little demon ginseng is derived from this.

It is said that it is important because refining Zhuji Dan requires three consecutive steps, each step requires more than a dozen elixirs to be refined separately, and finally synthesized to succeed, and each step is very difficult, but this little demon ginseng is an indispensable medicine in all three steps, so it is necessary to prepare a few more copies.

But the problem is that the elixir of small demon ginseng is very rare, and it is very difficult to collect and preserve, generally speaking, it needs to be excavated with a heptogen gold shovel, and then stored and moisturized with a spiritual jade bottle to obtain a good and fresh little demon ginseng, otherwise what you get is this one in Zhang Xiaomai's hand, which has died of dried medicinal materials.

From the dry medicine of this little demon ginseng, Zhang Xiaomai estimated that it was at least one hundred and fifty years old, and it was a pity that it became a dry medicine like this, but there was no way to do it, who could know what kind of environment the herb picker faced when collecting the medicine, it would be good to be able to bring it back, and some herb pickers even lost their lives for such a small demon ginseng.

"How many spirit stones, let's count them together. Zhang Xiaomai looked at this little demon ginseng for a long time, and then casually threw it into the space of the fairy garden.

It's better than nothing, no matter how thin the mosquito's legs are, it's still meat, even though there is only one, Zhang Xiaomai still put it into the space, after all, no one can predict what will happen in the future, maybe he can find other little demon ginseng, anyway, it is not a matter of a day or two to gather the materials for refining Zhuji Dan, and he has to take his time.

Zhang Xiaomai bought some elixirs for cultivating and replenishing qi in the Baicao Hall, and then as soon as the settlement was settled, the third son actually sent three hundred and fifty-eight medium-grade spirit stones.

So many!

Although Zhang Xiaomai was already prepared, his arm trembled with excitement!

Compared to the previous income of more than a dozen lower-grade spirit stones per day in the door, now these middle-grade spirit stones are a huge amount of money in front of him.

Touching the spirit stone in his hand, feeling the aura overflowing above, Zhang Xiaomai took a breath very happily, at this time the first spirit stone that really belongs to him, that is, his own start-up capital, with this spirit stone, I believe that more spirit stones will roll in in the future, Zhang Xiaoxiang is very confident in himself.

Putting the spirit stone into the space, Zhang Xiaomai walked out of the Baicao Hall with easy steps, and took a turn in Nanshan Immortal City, but he didn't find anything he needed, so he walked in the direction of the Five Elements Gate Teleportation Array.

Out of Nanshan Immortal City, the number of cultivators around him gradually became scarce, Zhang Xiaomai took a step, silently used his aura, and strode towards the direction of the Five Elements Gate Teleportation Array.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Xiaomai suddenly felt his heart beat suddenly.

It was a strange feeling, as if I was being watched by a beast and in extreme danger.

Immediately after, a sharp flying sword slashed out a shining sword light, and with a powerful and fierce momentum, it flew towards itself with great speed!

It's not good, someone is following! Zhang Xiaomai's body flashed to the side, and he was able to avoid the flying sword, but his clothes were cut out by the flying sword, revealing the skin inside.

Zhang Xiaomai was shocked in his heart, he was able to drive the flying sword to attack the enemy, that was the characteristic of a cultivator in the foundation building period, and the person who came was obviously killing himself, so he made such a ruthless move, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have to take his own life just now.

A cultivator in the foundation building period is equivalent to an inner disciple in the Five Elements Sect, this is not a powerful existence that he can resist now, Zhang Xiaomai immediately stood in place, looking intently in the direction where the flying sword was flying.

I saw a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a green robe, walking out from behind an uncle, and casting a strange look at Zhang Xiaomai, there was a scar on his face, which was pulled from his forehead to the root of his ear, adding a bit of ferocity to him.

"Boy, it's very fast, I really didn't expect you to have this skill. The middle-aged scar cultivator said with some surprise.

Now that he has been discovered, he did not plan to hide his strength anymore, but completely released the aura of the foundation building period towards Zhang Xiaomai, which instantly gave Zhang Xiaomai a huge pressure.

The strength in the early stage of foundation building, although it can't be compared with the top ten senior brothers and sisters in the Inner Gate of the Five Elements Gate, but it is definitely difficult for him to resist now, Zhang Xiaomai began to secretly look at the other party in his heart.

The scar cultivator was obviously very arrogant, although the late stage of qi refining and the early stage of foundation building were only a level gap, but it was a qualitative gap, plus Zhang Xiaomai was a wood spirit root, and the wood spirit root cultivator was not good at fighting, which was famous, so he obviously didn't take Zhang Xiaomai in his eyes.

"Tell me, who planted those elixirs of yours, and who is your master?" said the Scar Cultivator lightly, obviously thinking that with his own strength, Zhang Xiaomai couldn't make any tricks at all.

"This senior, what kind of elixir are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaomai scratched his head with his hand, looking innocent.

"Don't try to hide anything, boy, you can't fool me with this trick?" said the Scar Cultivator dismissively.

With a subsequent wave, a mountain rock in front of Zhang Xiaomai suddenly made a burst of sound, and after the flames passed, it shattered into powder.

"Ah, senior, did you say those dragon lingzhi?" It turned out to be the fire spirit root cultivator, Zhang Xiaomai seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said, "That's all planted by myself, I am a wood spirit root cultivator, and my main job is to plant elixirs, and those spirit plants in the Baicao Hall are planted by me." ”

Zhang Xiaomai touched the back of his head embarrassedly, as if apologizing for his forgetfulness, but his fingers were a little in the direction of the side.

"You can also grow that kind of superb Lingzhi, hmph, boy, do you think I'm a fool?" Scar Cultivator snorted coldly, "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise, the result of not having a corpse will be your result today." ”

"Senior, what are you talking about? Zhang Xiaomai looked confused, "What master, those elixirs are really grown by myself!"

"You still dare to lie to Lao Tzu!" a flame from the Scar Cultivator burned towards Zhang Xiaomai.

Zhang Xiaomai hurriedly rolled on the ground, intending to dodge, but he didn't expect that there were still some flames on his body, and he kept rolling on the ground under the exclamation.
