Qingyin Valley, a hundred miles southeast of Sanyang Sect.
The valley mouth is only a few tens of zhang square, but the further you go, the larger the area, and there is no shortage of dangerous areas. There are countless pure bamboos growing in the valley. This bamboo is known for its strange ability to absorb aura, so it is also known as Qingling bamboo.
The taste of its bamboo shoots is delicious, and it calms the nerves and nourishes the qi, and it can nourish the skin, and the female cultivators like to eat it very much.
The most important thing is that young bamboo shoots can be used in medicine, which is an excipient for refining Zhuyan Dan. However, it is not easy to collect, and it takes less than three hours to break the ground before it can be used for alchemy. The purchase price in the fang market is quite high, so it attracts many low-level disciples to come to collect, but fortunately, the valley is extremely wide, so there will be no crowding.
There are spirits, and naturally monsters will also be attracted.
Qingling bamboo is the easiest to attract a fierce beast of a raccoon bear. The tanuki bear is very similar to the panda in Cheng Yunfan's previous life, but it is much more cunning and powerful than the panda.
Therefore, the monks who come here to collect Qingling Bamboo generally come in groups of three or five, one takes care of each other, and the other is to meet the fierce beasts to resist together.
Cheng Yunfan was also under the guidance of Zhan Mengda last month, and took over the task of collecting young bamboo shoots issued by the master of Taiyin Peak Daoyun Peak. When I first came here, I watched for a long time and made sure that I was able to deal with the danger inside, so I planned to go in today.
Cheng Yunfan was thinking about how to avoid the crowd later, so that he could look for bamboo shoots alone. But he saw two monks walking towards him, one of them had a handsome face and was quite tall, he was a third-level male cultivator of qi refining, carrying a second-layer female cultivator of qi refining wearing green clothes, Shi Li said: "This junior brother, but you want to go into the valley to pick bamboo shoots?"
At this time, Cheng Yunfan already had the peak cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, but he only showed the third layer of qi refining.
In other words, the original half-year duty on the forbidden land expired, and it was renewed for another half year. Just when he was continuing the mission, he heard that Nie Fengyun was at the second level of advanced qi training and broke through, and Cheng Yunfan was still surprised at that time.
Nie Fengyun came to the forbidden land, and when he saw that his cultivation had not fallen in the slightest, he shouted to take over his class, Cheng Yunfan could only smile helplessly, and it was not bad to hone this kid's temperament for half a year.
However, half a year later, when his task expired, there was no news of Nie Fengyun. I still heard what Zhan Mengda said, only to know that he was pulled by Li Changfeng half a month ago and went down the mountain.
It is said that Li Changfeng found a spirit fox in the depths of Sanyang Mountain, and the talisman pen refined with its tail hair can greatly increase the success rate of talisman making, so he took his apprentice to try his luck together.
When he returned to Longyin Peak and cultivated for half a month, he felt that it was difficult to advance to the sixth level of qi cultivation for a while. Moreover, he has only been in the sect for more than a year, and his cultivation has progressed too quickly, and it is easy for his foundation to be vain, which will affect his future cultivation. So he put down his practice and prepared to take on the task again, he didn't want to go to the forbidden place to guard again, first, it would make people notice something different if it took too long, and second, it would be really troublesome if he couldn't find someone to take over the task.
This time, he was able to get rid of that task, thanks to Yuan Yangfeng's Zhou Feng and a few people who had become dead souls.
A year ago, six people went missing, and Yuan Yangfeng could not trace the results. When carefully checking each person's identity, it was found that Zhou Feng had been on duty in the forbidden place before, so he started from the forbidden place, but at that time Cheng Yunfan was on duty, and it was not easy to start, with the end of Cheng Yunfan's task, Yuan Yangfeng had someone on top, and Cheng Yunfan was also happy to go downhill on the donkey and get rid of the shackles of the duty task.
Otherwise, it would really be troublesome for Zhan Mengda to fool someone to come and take over.
"Yes, Senior Brother is also going into the valley?" Cheng Yunfan looked at the monk who was talking to him in front of him, and looked at his clothes, which turned out to be from Yuan Yangfeng.
Although Bao Zhao repeatedly reminded himself to beware of Yuan Yangfeng's disciples. But Cheng Yunfan understood that Yuan Yangfeng's disciples were not all the same as the Great Elder and Yuan Chengkai. The monk in front of him looked like a low-level disciple who had been raised by Yuan Yangfeng. Knowing that they were going to join forces, I thought to myself, anyway, for the sake of knowledge and experience, it would be good to be a companion together.
"That's true, why don't we go together? I'm Yu Huai'an from Yuan Yangfeng, this is Fairy Yunling, and we can take care of each other together. "Yu Huai'an seems to be very sophisticated, that Yunling fairy should be his sweetheart.
After getting Cheng Yunfan's nod and agreement, the three of them teamed up.
Scattered in a range and separated, each looking for young bamboo shoots. After a few hours had passed, they gathered together and set out together to select a new area.
"Senior brother, how is the harvest?" Yu Huai'an, who was proficient in the world, looked very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to talk and gossip with Cheng Yunfan.
"I found six spiritual shoots, and there were more than ten ordinary ones. Cheng Yunfan replied from afar, the young bamboo shoots of the clean bamboo are very small, pulled out from the roots, the whole is only one inch in size, and the young bamboo shoots are very easy to identify, just unearthed less than three hours, it is pure white, more than three hours, it has been green, more than three days, the tip turns purple and hard, and can no longer be eaten.
"It's still the luck of the junior brother, and the two of us only collected eight branches. By this time they had been in the valley for two days. Relatively speaking, the harvest is not small, the spirit bamboo shoots at this time, the market is very pretty, the purchase price of the market can reach a piece of lower grade spirit stone two, if this progress, you can indeed make a profit. It's just that this is on the premise of completing the task.
After all, making money is second to Cheng Yunfan, the important thing is to integrate into the world of monks, not to cultivate alone, and after the monks of the Sanyang Sect open their pulses, they must complete three tasks every year. Otherwise, in addition to the suspension of the monthly salary, they will also be punished.
In the past two days, they have encountered tanuki bears three or four times, as they have heard. The raccoon bear is an active attack on people, although the body is very small, but the speed is extremely fast, because it likes to eat this bamboo and hides alone in the bamboo forest, and is not inferior to the large beast.
Except for the first time, Cheng Yunfan was inexperienced and a little slow, and the rest of the performance was good. Fortunately, the first time was when Yu Huai'an encountered a raccoon bear for the first time, and Yu Huai'an seemed to have been here many times and was quite experienced in dealing with raccoon bears.
In the blink of an eye, three or four days have passed, Cheng Yunfan and Yu Huai'an and their partners are also in tune, and several people feel that it takes their eyes to find the spirit bamboo shoots, and the task has been completed anyway. After discussion, it was decided to hand in the task, and each returned to his residence to repair.
The three of them were about to walk out of the valley, when Yu Huai'an suddenly stopped, looked towards a branch valley, and said in surprise: "Listen, it's very noisy over there. ”
Hearing Yu Huai'an say this, Cheng Yunfan also concentrated on sensing. Sure enough, there was the sound of weapons clashing and shouting in the valley.
"Shall we go over and have a look?" Yu Huai'an said.
"It's not proper, Huai'an, in case there is danger" Fairy Yunling usually talks very little, and she is a gentle and quiet female cultivator.
"It shouldn't be fine! Listening to the voice, there are quite a few people there, and there must be disciples of our Sanyang Sect. If the situation is not right, you should be able to run. Yu Huai'an speculated.
Cheng Yunfan saw that he insisted, so it didn't matter, and nodded in agreement. After all, his cultivation is not low, and the so-called art masters are bold.
The three of them rushed over, only to hear voices shouting: "It's surrounded, don't let it run." If you work harder, it won't be long before you do."
When the three of them approached, they found seven or eight monks in different costumes, holding knives, swords and other weapons in their hands, besieging a large snake two or three feet long.
Cheng Yunfan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many people gathered together in this small valley. Yu Huai'an sighed and said, "Hundred-year-old golden thread snake!"
"Golden Thread Snake?" Cheng Yunfan also hesitated, this is another spirit beast.
"The golden snake is a kind of demon beast, it likes to appear in the land of yin tides, and there are also in Qingyin Valley, but most of them are ordinary things, so they are not to be feared. This one, judging by the situation, has lived for at least a hundred years, and I don't know why it appeared here. Yu Huai'an was explaining to Fairy Yunling and Cheng Yunfan beside him.
What they don't know is that this golden snake likes to eat food with aura, and the pure bamboo that is more than 100 years old is what they like to eat. Originally, this snake was shedding its skin, and it was about to advance, and it took a lot of effort to shed its skin, and it consumed a lot of energy, and it was the weakest time, so the snake found this dangerous dark place to shed its skin, and the result was so dead that there were monks from the Drifting Cloud Valley collecting herbs nearby, which caused a conflict between man and beast.
As the fight began, the monks of the Iron Sword Sect and the Flame Sect next to him all joined in.
When Cheng Yunfan heard Yu Huai'an say this, he looked at the snake, and saw that the snake was golden all over, with a layer of hard scales attached to it, tattered, and the strangest thing was the snake's head, which actually had two small horns of small deer antler velvet and one horn, and there was a trace of venom at the corner of the mouth, and the red tongue swallowed from time to time. And the snake body looks tattered, because the snake scales have been taken off in some places, and some places have not fallen off, so it looks embarrassed.
The three of them were looking around, and one of the three people in the distance seemed to be also a disciple of Yuan Yangfeng, and when he saw them, he exclaimed, "Don't stand, why don't you come and help?"
After finishing speaking, he took out a handful of spirit runes from the storage bag and threw them at the golden thread snake as if he wanted money, and the seven or eight monks around him also threw out a large number of spirit runes, and the strange snake was blown up.
Yu Huai'an didn't plan to make a move, so he would be seen by others as a monster robbery. Now listening to the shout, I know that I will kill the strange snake in a while, and I will definitely have my own piece of the pie. Hurriedly took out a few spirit runes, slapped them on his body, took out the long sword, and casually greeted Cheng Yunfan: "Baby! ”
Needless to say, Cheng Yunfan also knew that this strange snake was full of treasures, but he had seen the power of the six-person fighting snake before, so he first waited and watched, so he didn't go closer, just took out a few acceleration and defense talismans and slapped them on his body, and then took out an ordinary magic sword and followed from a distance.
