Chapter 12: Red Spirit Crystal
Chapter 12: Red Spirit Crystal
In front of the bluestone clearing in front of the hall, Yu Xueling and several young men and women were talking about something, and several young men and women were full of respect. At this time, Yu Chengling ran up from the bottom of the mountain, his face full of shame and annoyance, and ran directly to Yu Xueling. And when he arrived in front of Yu Xueling, when he was about to say something to Yu Xueling, Yu Chengling suddenly held his head in his hands and fell to the ground screaming. After a moment's effort, Yu Chengling was completely breathless, and he was dying.
Yu Xueling and several young men and women were taken aback, and several of them were at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do. However, Yu Xueling seemed more stable, thought about it for a while, asked a few people around her to go to Uncle Ma, took out a white talisman seal by himself, and after saying a few words at the talisman seal, the talisman turned into a white light and burst out of the air. And when Yu Xueling and the others were busy, no one noticed that a faint purple light sank into the bluestone ground from the back of Yu Chengling. The next moment, Yu Xueling walked in front of Yu Chengling, squatted down, and carefully checked if Yu Chengling had any external injuries. But after some inspection, she found nothing, Yu Xueling couldn't help frowning, "Who dares to treat the children of the Yu family like this, the courage is really not small! You better stay away, don't let me find out, or you feel good!"
Yu Xueling muttered to herself, but seeing the evil aura on her face, it was completely different from the face of the pink carved jade, and in a moment, a cute little girl turned into a star. Immediately, as soon as Yu Xueling's face changed, she returned to her original cute appearance.
At this time, dozens of footsteps came, and Uncle Ma walked over with a look of surprise on his face and some young men and women.
"Uncle Ma, please also help find out the reason for Senior Brother Chengling's death, find the murderer and punish him severely, so as to avenge Senior Brother Chengling's murder. On behalf of the Yu family, Xue Ling thanked Uncle Ma first, and the Yu family will repay Uncle Ma. After Yu Xueling saw Uncle Ma, she took two steps forward, bowed down and said angrily.
"Well, I'll take a look first, but I'm not sure if I can find the murderer, so I can only do my best!" After taking a look at Yu Xueling, Uncle Ma walked to Yu Chengling's body and returned to his previous faint appearance.
"Thank you, Uncle Ma, but I think all the disciples will cooperate with Uncle Ma, I think I can definitely find out!" Yu Xueling said.
Uncle Ma just nodded, didn't speak, closed his eyes, and a huge power of thought spread across the bluestone square, and a group of young men and women couldn't help but bend down.
The power of the mind slowly condensed in one place, like an invisible steel needle piercing the corpse of Yu Chengling. A quarter of an hour later, Uncle Ma opened his eyes, and his face was full of incredulity. Uncle Ma lowered his head and fell into contemplation, while Yu Xueling and the others stood aside without daring to breathe, and Uncle Ma raised his head after a full meal.
"Xue Ling, you will carefully talk about the situation after Yu Chengling met you. Uncle Ma frowned and said to Yu Xueling.
"Yes, Uncle Ma!" Yu Xue Ling said the situation when Yu Chengling saw her after going up the mountain, "Uncle Ma, how Senior Brother Chengling was killed, please also inform Xue Ling, Xue Ling is good to report to the clan!"
"Yu Chengling's brain and internal organs are gone, as if he has been eaten by something. According to you, he called you when he saw you, and then he fell to the ground and screamed. Did you find anything abnormal in the back?Also, did you have a company with people when Yu Chengling went out today?Is there anything abnormal?" Uncle Ma stared at Yu Xueling and said.
"What? How can this be? Senior Brother Chengling shouted at me when he saw me, and then fell to the ground until you come over, Senior Uncle, I have been here all the time, and I haven't noticed anything at all! As for today, I heard that he went out to find Senior Sister Mei Jue, but there is no one to accompany him, why don't you ask Senior Sister Mei Jue to come back and ask for clarification!" Yu Xueling said thoughtfully, and muttered a little in her heart, could it really be Mei Jue's doing, but how could she do this? It seems that it is still up to a few elders in the clan to deal with it.
"Mei Jue, does anyone know where Lu Dao went?"
"Uncle Ma, Senior Sister Mei Jue seems to have gone to Baicao Valley with Xiao Ling. But they didn't come back. A slightly weak girl said.
"Senior Sister Fang, why don't you go and call them back and let Uncle Ma ask clearly, after all, this matter is too big, and everyone will be involved if you don't find out. A stout young man from the Jade family said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Chengjie!" the little girl surnamed Fang replied after seeing Uncle Ma nodding.
The little girl turned around and walked down the mountain, leaving Uncle Ma with a puzzled face and a frightened young man and woman in front of the temple.
In the Valley of Hundred Herbs, Xiao Ling was looking at the various flowers and plants in front of him with surprise on his face, many of these flowers and plants are extremely valuable elixirs, but there are very few people who can know the use of Lu Dao, Xiao Ling is secretly a little glad to have met Chen Li, otherwise he would not know the importance of these flowers and plants, and Mei Jue is like a girl on a spring outing with her beloved lover at this time, her face is full of intoxication. Xiao Ling's brows moved slightly, and a purple light flashed into the bag behind him.
In front of a dead wood forest next to the hill, Xiao Ling and the others stopped, looking at hundreds of white mushrooms of different sizes in front of them, and the two of them were ecstatic. These white mushrooms are larger, each more than half a foot tall, and the taller ones are about a foot and a half. Mushrooms resemble white umbrellas, and unlike ordinary mushrooms, these mushrooms have a smooth surface like a mirror, thin stems and thick heads, mushroom heads are full of two feet in diameter, and thumb-thick stems appear too slender.
Xiao Ling took out two knives from his bag and handed one to Mei Jue, "As long as the upper head part and rhizome remain, it will grow again in the future." We don't need too much now, more than 30 are enough for the two of me for about a year, and it's not easy to get more. ”
"Hmm!
After a while, the two of them had collected more than thirty mushrooms, Xiao Ling thought about it, took out a half-foot-high porcelain bottle from his bag, and put it on the ground.
"Senior Sister Mei, I'll deal with these white spirit mushrooms first, you look for the other two things, let's get better as soon as possible, someone may come over later." Xiao Ling thought for a while and said.
"Where...... Okay!" Mei Jue said with some unhappiness when she saw Xiao Ling's cautious look on her face.
Seeing Mei Jue turn around and leave, Xiao Ling let go of the purple fire ant queen in his bag, and after giving a command to the queen ant, he sat down cross-legged on the side. After the purple fire ant queen received Xiao Ling's instructions, a purple flame erupted from her mouth, wrapping the white spirit mushroom on the ground and suspending it above the porcelain bottle. Looking at the purple fire in the air, Xiao Ling was a little envious, this is the strength after gathering qi, you can condense the fire of the true yuan, and with these fire of the true yuan, you can refine the pill and refine the weapon.
A crackling sound sounded, and the purple fire mass that wrapped the white spirit mushroom was gradually shrinking, and after a quarter of an hour, a rather viscous milky white droplet dripped from the purple fire, dripping into the porcelain bottle below, and soon it stopped dripping, but there was already more than half a bottle of milky white liquid in the porcelain bottle. Xiao Ling's face was happy, he covered the porcelain vase, and praised the queen ant a few words, and the queen ant sneered as if she didn't understand. After filling the porcelain vase and putting away the queen ant, Xiao Ling continued to walk forward, looking for the remaining two things.
Soon, Xiao Ling found some black grass by a slightly biased waterhole, these grasses were three feet high, and the leaves were two feet long like jagged teeth, and each grass had eight or nine leaves. And there is a black mist in the middle of the leaves, and there is an inch-high fruit inside, and there is a small opening at the top of the fruit, and the mist comes out of the small mouth. Xiao Ling carefully picked the fruit inside, took out another porcelain bottle, turned the fruit upside down, and there was a thick black juice flowing out of it, Xiao Ling only picked five fruits, and filled the porcelain bottle. Xiao Ling's face was happy, and he turned around to look for Mei Jue.
Along the way, Xiao Ling saw several extremely useful spirit flowers and spirit grasses, and he was quite excited for a while, but it was not convenient to pick them now, first, he couldn't fit in his bags, and second, he couldn't keep them now. However, Xiao Ling is relieved, these things have been here for a long time, and the people in Qingyunmen must know that the reason why no one came to pick them was because no one understood the real effect of these spirit flowers and spirit grasses, so it didn't matter if they were here, they could pick them again in the future.
After a meal, Xiao Ling walked to the depths of Baicao Valley, but he didn't meet Mei Jue, and he didn't know where she went, and he didn't know if he found it. However, Xiao Ling thought, he still had to hurry up and find it, according to the speed, it wouldn't be long before someone would find him. Xiao Ling himself knew about it, he asked the purple fire ant queen to kill Yu Chengling, and now he must be investigating, and Yu Chengling came to find Mei Jue, and someone must know about it. However, Xiao Ling knew that no matter who he was, he didn't want to find out. Xiao Ling let the queen ant eat Yu Chengling's brain and internal organs because he was afraid that someone would be able to find the remnant soul and find something. Now that the queen ant has eaten up Yu Chengling's brain and internal organs, there is not even a trace of the remnant soul, and no matter how capable the person is, there is nothing he can do. And Xiao Ling is not afraid of being searched for souls, Chen Li has a secret technique that can directly seal this part of the memory, unless he is willing, the monks who are two or three realms higher will not be able to search for anything. And Mei Jue has already used some tricks and feet by Xiao Ling before, and directly changed this part of her memory with her mind, and only if her own strength breaks through more than three realms will she recover.
Xiao Ling was thinking, walking, and looking for bitter bamboos everywhere. After half an hour and nothing, Xiao Ling frowned a little.
Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound from the green grass in front of him, and Xiao Ling followed the sound and walked over. In the grass, there were nearly a hundred huge white rats, which rotated around a three-inch red boulder, and circles of red light emitted from the cobblestone. White rats make a "squeak" sound when the red light reaches their bodies, and every time the red light does not enter the white mice, these rats will become a little irritable. Originally, the ordinary white mouse became like a beast at this time, and if it was long enough, maybe it would become a low-level demon beast in the future.
Xiao Ling stared at the red round stone, thought for a moment, and was a little pleased, it turned out that this round stone was a red spirit crystal. The Red Spirit Crystal was actually of no use to ordinary cultivators, because the Red Spirit Crystal contained a large amount of extremely violent essence qi, which people could not absorb. However, it is different for some beasts, with these violent essence qi, it is likely to evolve into low-level demon beasts. And some demon beasts with strong enough flesh can also absorb the essence qi in the red spirit crystal to improve their strength.
However, the red spirit crystal also has a function, which is to use the white bamboo leaves as a refining body, but this method is not many people who know the Dao in the upper realm. Xiao Ling didn't expect that the most difficult material to find would actually come across here.
After Xiao Ling secretly commanded the purple fire ant queen, he watched the purple fire ant queen's white mouse turn into a purple light and hit the rat colony. Everywhere the purple light passed, there was no trace of it, and it was obviously devoured by the queen ant. Xiao Ling was a little strange, how could a small queen ant eat so many white mice? In less than a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred white mice had all disappeared, leaving not even a trace of blood.
Xiao Ling walked in front of the red spirit crystal with fiery eyes, stretched out his hands forward, and gathered the little essence qi in his body to his hands, forming a thin layer of white qi on his palms. The white layer of air slowly wrapped the red spar, and after a while, the red light no longer emitted on the spar, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and put the slightly dim red spirit crystal into his bag. After giving the queen a command, he walked in the other direction, and the queen disappeared into the grass with a flash.
"Xiao Ling, come here, I found Kuzhu. Mei Jue's shout came from afar, and Xiao Ling hurriedly walked in the direction where the voice came from.
After a while, Xiao Ling came to a low bamboo forest, and Mei Jue was standing in front of the bamboo forest. These bamboos are somewhat strange, only a foot high, the same body is jet black, and the thumb is thick. It was the bitter bamboo that Xiao Ling was looking for.
