Chapter 16: The Elixir

Zhang Fan and Xue'er are silently searching for possible poisonous snakes and herbs in this deep grass and trees, where insects and birds are extinct. After most of the day, he found several lewd snake grasses of the fourth grade and below, and also killed several black spotted snakes.

In the evening, Zhang Fan found a grotto. There are thousands of holes in the grotto, messily distributed, dozens of black spotted snakes go in and out of the cave entrance, just like a black rope hanging in the cave, some seeping people.

Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he saw this, and thought: "I should be able to have a good harvest this time." Even without herbs, these poisonous snakes are also a good fortune. He excitedly shouted to Xue'er: "Xue'er, come and see, there are a lot of black spotted snakes." ”

After a while, Xue'er came to Zhang Fan's side out of breath, and found that there were dense black-spotted poisonous snakes in the cave in front of her, and she was very frightened, and exclaimed: "Ah! Snake! Childe, let's go quickly, I'm so afraid." Zhang Fan smiled: "Don't worry, we have the best armor." In addition, there are many poisonous snakes here, and there are abundant lewd snake grass and ambergris flowers. Ambergris is a huge help to our cultivation. If you don't go in, just wait for me at the entrance of the cave, okay?" Xue'er did have a little numb scalp and didn't want to go in, so she replied, "Okay, then son, go and come back quickly." Then Zhang Fan walked without a trace and walked towards the depths of the snake cave.

Along the way, there were more and more black spotted snakes in the cave, and gradually there were five-grade white spotted snakes appearing, and Zhang Fan's heart was suddenly extremely nervous. Along the way, he slew the poisonous snake that stood in his way, and after a while, he came to the depths of the cave. He found that in the center of the cave, nine six-poinsettia spotted snakes were circling around a small dark green tree, and the small tree had nine golden fruits, and from time to time a rich fragrance wafted out. Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Snake saliva fruit!"

"Shhh

When several six-pinlet spotted snakes saw that the fruit they had been waiting for for a long time was ripe, outsiders intervened, turned their heads one after another, and shot a stream of venom at Zhang Fan. However, Zhang Fan was far away from several six-grade poisonous snakes and was not injured.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Fan saw that the scent of the snake's saliva fruit had reached its peak, and immediately slashed at the five or six poisonous snakes in front of him with the Green Immortal Sword. Zhang Fan moved without a trace, constantly using the Qing Ying Sword to send out blue rays, and countless spotted snakes were cut into several sections. After a while, he saw that the more poisonous snakes were killed, the stronger the fragrance of the snake saliva fruit, and the blood of the poisonous snakes that fell on the ground was quickly sucked dry, and he thought: "It's gone, the little master has actually encountered a century-old elixir." The herbs that can actively absorb the essence of heaven and earth are elixirs, and they can only be possessed by legendary immortal cultivators. Zhang Fan did not hesitate, and immediately used the sword trick to kill the spotted snake, and an hour passed, and tens of thousands of spotted snakes were killed. At this time, Zhang Fan's internal breath was almost consumed, and he felt the feeling of weakness of losing his internal breath for the first time. Zhang Fan did not meditate immediately, but quickly took out nine good sandalwood boxes and put nine golden fruits into them. After he finished loading the fruit, he meditated and regained his inner breath, then took the body of the snake and walked out of the cave.

"Childe, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Seeing that her son-in-law had finally come out of the snake cave, Xue'er immediately ran forward and asked worriedly, "You didn't encounter any danger inside, did you?" Zhang Fan smiled knowingly when he heard this. He replied, "It's nothing, I just killed a few poisonous snakes, but it made my family Xue'er worried." Look, what did I bring you?" Zhang Fan said as he took out the wooden box from his arms and handed it to Xue'er. Xue'er took the wooden box, smelled the medicinal fragrance coming from the box, and asked curiously: "Childe, what kind of herb is this, it smells so good!" Zhang Fan heard this, and thought: "Little girl, this is an elixir that is rarer than a century-old ginseng, can it not be fragrant?" He replied with a smile: "This is the snake saliva fruit, the legendary elixir, which can quickly improve the cultivation of martial artists." Let's find a place to retreat and take the elixir, shall we?" and then the two of them left the deep grass with the fruits of their trip.

A few days later, in a cave, Zhang Fan and Xue'er were silently meditating. Suddenly, Zhang Fan's momentum continued to rise, and the fallen leaves and dust around him seemed to be manipulated, surrounding his naked body, rising and falling. After a long while, the aura around Zhang Fan's body gradually disappeared, and finally returned to flatness. He opened his eyes, looked around, and saw that his clothes were long gone, and he was immediately shocked and inexplicable, and thought to himself: "This snake saliva fruit is really overbearing, and it actually allowed me to directly break through to the peak of the fifth layer of the True Dragon Purple Qi Technique. In time, after I have digested the effects of the elixir, I will be able to go further. ”

When Zhang Fan woke up, Xue'er also woke up. As soon as she woke up, she smelled the faint smell around her and exclaimed, "Well, it stinks!" Zhang Fan heard this, looked back, and smiled a little narrowly: "Let's go, Xue'er, let's go wash it." When Xue'er heard this, her face was like a peach blossom, and she said in shame: "Childe, you are laughing at others again and ignoring you." As soon as she finished speaking, she flew out of the cave like a bird in the water. Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and thought: "This little girl, isn't it just that she was washed by the elixir, and it's not the first time, why are you doing this, hehe." Then he went out.

After a while, Zhang Fan and Xue'er both returned. Xue'er's face was like a saffron, her color was better than Chang'e, and she was unmatched, and she said to her son-in-law: "Childe, you are very bad." You're spying on people again, and they're only fourteen years old. When Zhang Fan heard this, he looked aftertasted, and thought: "This little girl has become more and more plump in the past few months, and I feel very itchy to see it." He smiled a little obscenely: "Xue'er, you have become beautiful in the past few months, and I am fascinated by you, Childe, and I can't distinguish things." When Xue'er heard this, she felt a little proud in her heart. She looked at her son-in-law and found that he was more handsome and extraordinary than before, mature and stable, and the strings hidden deep in her heart couldn't help but move, and she couldn't help but say: "Xue'er is already a child's person, what do you want Xue'er to do, Xue'er listens to you." When Zhang Fan heard this, he was a little embarrassed and a little excited, and thought: "Xue'er and I are both martial artists, our bodies are developing rapidly, and our bodies are indeed mature." When I have time in the future, I must pick this delicate flower and not let outsiders miss it. He wanted to think about it, but he wouldn't say it directly, and he didn't intend to stay on this topic, so he asked instead: "Xue'er, has your cultivation improved this time?" Hearing this, Xue'er's blush on her face gradually dissipated, and she responded to her son: "Thank you Childe, after Xue'er ate a fruit, her strength became greater, and her longevity recipe was also cultivated to the early stage of the fifth layer." Zhang Fan heard Xue'er's words, although Xue'er's situation was not beyond his expectations, he was still a little impressed by the magic of the snake elixir. He saw that the cultivation of the two of them had increased greatly, and they continued to stay in the Beast Forest, and it was impossible to find an elixir like the snake saliva fruit that was rare in a hundred years, and it was difficult to encounter high-level brute beasts, so he had the idea of going home. Zhang Fan had made up his mind and said to Xue'er: "Xue'er, we've been out for a long time, let's go home in a few days." When Xue'er heard this, she also felt the same way, and replied softly: "Well, I listen to Childe." When I was away from home for a long time, I was homesick too. When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to Taoyuan Valley first, and then make plans." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Fan and Xue'er embarked on the road and returned. At noon, when they came to a bush, they heard a wolf howl and the hunter's terrible cry coming from not far away, and they walked in the direction from which the sound came.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Fan and the two came to an open meadow and found seven or eight hunters fighting with a group of jungle gray wolves, and several wolf corpses and hunters' bodies were scattered on the grass, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Seeing this, Xue'er was worried about the safety of the hunters, and asked the son next to her anxiously: "Childe, you see those hunters are so pitiful, let's go up and help them, right?" Zhang Fan heard this, a little helpless, and thought: "My little aunt, if you want to rush up to help without looking at the situation, it will make you suffer." However, he didn't say this to Xue'er, but said, "Xue'er, I won't go." The more than a dozen wolves and seven or eight hunters in front of them are all in the Bone Refining Realm and the Four Grades, if you want to go, go and help, I'll rest here for a while. When Xue'er heard this, she immediately rushed out without a trace, entering the hunters and wolves, and at the same time said coquettishly: "Uncles, don't worry, I'll help you." ”

When the wolves and the hunters saw Cher, an outsider, join them in the battle, the brown wolf of the jungle and the exhausted hunter, who were still fighting desperately just a moment ago, stopped for a moment, and then continued to fight together. Seeing that another enemy was coming, several brown wolves immediately besieged Cher. A brown wolf, which seemed to be the leader of the wolves, was the first to attack, and it rushed to Cher like a lightning speed, and then kicked the ground with its hind feet, its front paws outstretched, and its foul mouth opened, with Sensen's white fangs, and attacked Cher. Cher couldn't react in time, and was knocked out of the ground by the brown wolf at once, looking a little flustered and wolf. The brown wolf's attack was blocked by Cher's armor, and her front paws trembled. Seeing that it missed, it aimed at Cher's head again and struck again. Xue'er didn't pay attention to it before, she was attacked by the four-grade brown wolf, was knocked away several meters, and immediately became angry, immediately jumped up from the ground, ran without a trace, and quickly approached the brown wolf. When Cher slays the brown wolf with lightning speed, several other brown wolves have already approached Cher and the wolf claws in the sky all grabs her fiercely. Xue'er was extremely angry, and quickly injected her internal breath into the long sword, and with one move-storm, seven or eight wolf claws were directly cut off by her, and several brown wolves were knocked away at once, landing a few meters around Xue'er. Seeing this, Xue'er took advantage of the victory to pursue, stabbed the wolf who fell to the ground with her sword, and after a few breaths, all four brown wolves were killed. Later, Cher went on to kill the other brown wolves.

About an hour later, all the brown wolves were killed by Cher and the hunters, but unfortunately several more hunters died at the hands of the wolves, and only four hunters survived. Several of them crossed their knees for a moment, and then they all stood up. One of the old hunters, who looked a little shrewd, saluted Xue'er and said, "Just now, thank you for the grace of the heroine for saving your life, the old man is grateful, but there will be a dispatch in the future, and the old man will obey even if he dies." Then a young hunter who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old said: "Thank you eldest sister for helping me get out of the wolf's mouth, Zhu Tao will obey my sister in the future." The last two remaining middle-aged hunters also thanked Cher.

Then Cher and the hunters divided the brown wolf and left.
