Chapter 13: Bad Intentions

Water spirit grass generally grows near streams, and can mature in 80 years, and its appearance resembles ordinary aquatic plants, so it is difficult to identify. Because there are not many uses of the Water Spirit Grass, almost no one knows about it, so Xu Qing estimates that there should be no one to pick the Mountain Spirit Grass in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to complete his uncle's task.

Then it was simple, Xu Qing Yujian stood high in the sky, and when he saw where there was a stream, he fell down to look for the water spirit grass.

It's just that he found a lot of places where the water and grass were abundant, but he couldn't find a single water spirit grass, which made him a little frustrated, but Xu Qing still didn't want to give up after all, and chose to continue looking. Anyway, the range of the back mountain is very wide, and there are many places with streams, so if he continues to look for it everywhere, he doesn't believe that he can't find a single water spirit grass.

Xu Qing came to the front of Yichuan Waterfall, looking at the magnificent scene of dozens of zhang of white horses falling from the sky and flying straight down, he suddenly felt a sense of pride, almost picking stars and catching the moon, it seemed to be omnipotent, so that Xu Qing had to sigh at the creation of nature.

Under the waterfall is a secluded pool, the turquoise is abnormal, the edge of the pool far away from the waterfall is overgrown with aquatic plants, this environment is most suitable for the growth of water spirit grass, Xu Qing naturally has to look for it.

Xu Qing carefully observed the aquatic plants, wanting to find the figure of the water spirit grass.

"Didn't you say that there is no elixir in the back mountain?" Xu Qing muttered, but with uncontrollable joy on his face, looking at the more than ten water spirit grasses in his hand that were almost the same as ordinary aquatic plants, Xu Qingzhi sighed his luck, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and let out a long roar to vent the joy in his heart.

Ten water spirit grasses, one of which is 500 years old, three are 300 years old, and eight are 100 years old, which is simply a huge income for Xu Qing.

With a soft sound of "boom", a young man's sword landed in the open space not far in front of Xu Qing.

The young man was about twenty-four or five years old, with a warm smile on his face, and said to Xu Qing with a smile: "It seems that the junior brother seems to have gained a lot!" After speaking, he looked at the more than ten water spirit grasses in Xu Qing's hand.

Xu Qing secretly used the spiritual eye technique to check the young man's cultivation, the seventh layer of Qi refining cultivation, the heart of harming people is indispensable, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, he secretly paid attention to the young man's every move, on the surface he was silent, and said with some embarrassment:

"Let the senior brother smile, I don't know any elixir, so I will pick everything that looks like an elixir first, and then go back and find someone to identify them one by one. After speaking, he put more than a dozen water spirit grasses into the storage bag, scratching his head a little embarrassed.

When the young man saw that the so-called elixirs were indeed just a few aquatic plants, he smiled and said:

"Hehe, junior brother, the rest of the senior brothers don't dare to say more, but those few just now are just ordinary aquatic plants, the junior brother is afraid that he is busy in vain, I don't know if the junior brother has other harvests today, but the elder brother knows a lot about the elixir, and can help you identify it." ”

"It's just an ordinary aquatic weed? I'm happy in vain, and I'm busy again today! It's a pity that I only found so many plants today, otherwise I would have asked my senior brother to help identify them. Xu Qing sighed mournfully, his face full of frustration.

Hearing that Xu Qing had nothing else to gain, the young man flashed a trace of disappointment indistinctly, and then disappeared, and was about to continue talking to Xu Qing, but at this moment, a trace of fragrant fragrance entered his nose, fresh and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze.

The fragrance wafted quickly, and after a while, the fragrance wafted all over the field, and the fragrance around Xu Qing and the young man seemed to become a little stronger.

Xu Qing naturally also smelled the fragrant fragrance wafting in the air, and a fine light flashed in his eyes. However, any elixir that is more than a thousand years old will exude a rich fragrance at the moment of maturity, and this fragrant fragrance comes and goes quickly, unless it is nearby, it is difficult to perceive, so there are very few people who know the characteristics of the thousand-year elixir, unless they know the elixir very well, it is impossible to know at all.

In just a few moments, the original fragrant fragrance began to fade gradually, receding like a tide, and finally disappeared completely like a dream, as if it had never appeared.

Xu Qing and the young man looked at the white Pi Lian at the same time, because the fragrance came from behind the water curtain, and both of them had a little fiery eyes, but they were well hidden to prevent the other party from noticing.

"Senior brother, it seems that you and I will have something to gain today. The young man said with a smile, still looking suave.

"Oh, Senior Brother, don't you know what kind of medicinal fragrance it emitted just now?" Xu Qing looked at the water curtain, and asked casually without hiding the heat in his eyes.

"Hmph, just because you want to get that kind of treasure!" The young man saw Xu Qing's expression in his eyes, and snorted secretly in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face: "Senior brother was fortunate enough to pick a thousand-year-old elixir, but the medicinal fragrance emitted is definitely not comparable to Fang Cai, so what grows behind the water curtain must be some kind of heaven and earth treasure." Senior brother, you go to pick the elixir, I will protect the Dharma for you outside, and the spars sold will be divided equally between you and me, how about it?" After speaking, he slapped the storage bag with one hand, took out a light blue flying sword from it, held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

I have to say that this is a temptation that is hard to refuse.

"When you pick the elixir, it is already past the ripening time, and the essence is inside, naturally it will not exude such a rich fragrance. However, Xu Qing didn't say much to him, and after he said his suggestion to take out the flying sword, he immediately nodded in agreement, his face was full of excitement and gratitude, and at the same time he quietly took two steps back, making an appearance that he was eager to go to the water curtain to pick the elixir immediately.

"Okay, then junior brother, you go behind the water curtain to pick the elixir, and I'll wait here in case someone else comes to disturb me. ”

Xu Qing walked in the direction of the water curtain, and at the same time paid close attention to the movement behind him, in case the young man suddenly sneaked attack, he didn't believe that the young man would be so kind and willing to share it with him.

According to common sense, the young man should drive him away, and then swallow the treasure alone, after all, his strength is too weak, but the young man uncharacteristically asks to be divided with him, how can this not make him suspicious?

Despite his young age, it doesn't mean he's stupid, it's a wilderness, and no one will know about it even if a young man kills him.

Xu Qing thought about countermeasures in his heart as he walked, but until he walked near the water curtain, he didn't see any movement of the young man, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and paid close attention to the movement behind him. At the same time, he quietly took out the two spirit runes that Xiao Ming gave him to save his life, and if the situation was bad, he would immediately retreat.

Just as Xu Qing was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly felt a sharp qi machine suddenly appear behind him, and without thinking too much, Xu Qing immediately stepped on the Seven Star Step and deftly flashed to the side, and at the same time took out a shield to protect his body.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" Xu Qing asked with a cold face, the spiritual power of the flying sword in his hand was uncertain, and it seemed to be ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

"I underestimated my junior brother, I didn't expect my junior brother to be so cautious and cautious at a young age, but junior brother, don't blame me, how can such a treasure be equally divided with others?" The young man smiled lightly, looking at Xu Qing with a dead man's eyes, the flying sword in his hand slowly lit up, and he wanted to make a move on Xu Qing.

It's just that God seems to be deliberately against him, but at this time, a powerful aura came from the forest not far away, and it was approaching rapidly, so that the young man had to temporarily give up killing Xu Qing.

In a moment, a middle-aged man in his thirties flashed out of the forest, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a cold face.

The middle-aged man's cultivation at the peak of the seventh layer of qi refining was slightly higher than that of the young man, and as soon as he appeared, he asked in a cold voice: "It seems that there are heaven and earth spiritual materials here just now, I wonder if the two junior disciples have seen it?"
