Chapter 23 Sneak Attack and Conspiracy
Three more months later, Xiao Lin once again dragged the bodies of the two fire-armored beasts back to the cave.
It has been less than half a year since he came out of Wuyin Fairy City. In this short half year, he has hunted dozens of fire-armored beasts near the volcano. There are thirty-two white scales in his bag alone. It seems that Xiao Lin was frightened. During this period, fewer and fewer fire-armored beasts went to the river to drink water. Even if they came, they usually came in groups. Once, five of them appeared at the river together. Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin greased the soles of his feet without saying a word, and faced five fire-armored beasts at once. A single volley from them would send Xiao Lin back to his hometown.
The only thing that makes Xiao Lin satisfied is that after half a year of practice, his water arrow technique has finally entered the silent level and can be cast by silently reciting spells. However, it is still far from the perfect level. This makes Xiao Lin I am relieved and helpless. Basic spells are so difficult to practice, so elementary spells and even intermediate spells are even more abnormal.
Through this period of trials, Xiao Lin also discovered a shortcoming of his own, that is, he did not have auxiliary control spells, and his water arrows did not reach the instant Dzogchen level, so he often fell into the water. The archery skill was completed, but the prey had already fled, which made him very impatient.
I originally thought about going back to Mist Hidden Fairy City to buy a book of auxiliary control spells, but after looking at the thirty or so pieces of white scale armor in my bag, I finally gave up on this idea. In exchange for three low-grade spiritual stones, he had seen a better control spell in Chengdongfang City. At least five low-grade spiritual stones were needed. Even if he went back, he couldn't buy them. He might as well continue in the Tianlu Mountains. Trial.
Although Xiao Lin had mastered the method of entering and exiting the strange space between his eyebrows, after studying it countless times, he did not find any use for the strange space, and finally had to give up temporarily.
After six months of practice, Xiao Lin has initially mastered the method of flying with a flying weapon. However, he does not have a special flying magic weapon, only an ebony spiritual shield. Through experiments, he is now able to fly with the ebony spiritual shield. It's just that the flying speed is a bit horrible, and it often trembles, and looks like it will fall down at any time, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Firstly, he does not have a special flying magic weapon, and secondly, his weapon control level is still at the level of In the most elementary stage, only daily practice and practice will make you perfect.
Since there was no hope of hunting the fire-armored beast, Xiao Lin decided to change the place for the trial tomorrow. He took out the map recording the distribution of monster beasts around Wuyin Immortal City and studied it carefully.
The next day, a trembling green light flew up from a mountain forest. After flying more than ten feet high, it found the right direction and flew towards the distance.
Xiao Lin's face was full of excitement. Although it was not his first time flying, he was still obsessed with the feeling of flying. However, he also knew very well that in the Tianlu Mountains, there were not only dangerous monsters, but also Qichang's kind. A cultivator who kills people and cheats, so he didn't fly too high and only flew slowly at low altitude. If it weren't for the purpose of getting familiar with the magic of flying weapons, he would rather spend more time walking on foot.
More than half a month later, Xiao Lin appeared in a long and narrow valley. This valley was tens of thousands of miles away from Wuyin Fairy City. The map recorded that a metallic monster called [Sabre-toothed Tiger] lived in this valley. , although the saber-toothed tiger is also an elementary-level mortal monster, it is definitely the pinnacle existence among the elementary-level monsters. This kind of saber-toothed tiger is two feet long. It is covered with tiger skin, and its chest, abdomen and back are covered with fine nails. The most important thing about the large scale armor is that there is a half-foot-long bone sword on the forehead of the saber-toothed tiger. One side is extremely sharp, and the other side is jagged. This bone sword is used to refine the primary magic weapon [Golden Bone Sword]. Excellent material, even if the refining material is better, it can also be used to refine an intermediate magic weapon. It is for this reason that this bone sword is very precious. A bone sword on the forehead of an adult saber-toothed tiger can at least Sell ten low-grade spiritual stones.
However, it is precisely for this reason that many monks come here to hunt saber-toothed tigers, so that the number of saber-toothed tigers in this valley has become extremely rare, and now even fewer low-level monks come here.
Xiao Lin also came to try his luck, because not far away in the valley, there was Fengping Mountain, where many wind-attributed golden-feathered eagles lived. If he couldn't find the saber-toothed tiger, he was going to hunt the golden eagle. The feathered eagle and the golden feathered eagle each have a feather on their wings. They are also excellent materials for refining magic weapons, and are no less superior to the bone sword on the forehead of the saber-toothed tiger.
Two days later, Xiao Lin, who was sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, looked into the distance with a depressed face. During these two days, he had not even seen the fur of a saber-toothed tiger. He even doubted whether the saber-toothed tiger was already in the valley. Extinct.
"Hey" suddenly, Xiao Lin made a sound of surprise. He actually saw a faint mist not far away. The mist was very small, only the size of a fist, but Xiao Lin was very familiar with such a sight. .
"Lingwu grass?" Xiao Lin showed an expression of surprise on his face. After a few ups and downs, he came to a rock on the edge of the cliff. In the cracks of the rock, a small grass was growing stubbornly. of growing.
When Xiao Lin came forward and saw this Spirit Mist Grass, he couldn't help but show a look of disappointment. The Spirit Mist Grass in front of him was only effective for five or six years at most, and could not be used to refine the Spirit Pill. , and the Spiritual Mist Grass that cannot be used to refine Spiritual Pills is of no use at all.
Xiao Lin, who had thought that he would have a surprise and make some unexpected money, could not help but feel a little depressed. He looked at the spiritual mist grass and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. If he pulled it out, it would be useless. If he didn't pull it out, he seemed a little unwilling. This spiritual mist grass grew here. Even if it reached the medicinal effect of more than ten years in a few years, it would probably have been pulled out by someone else by then, and it would not be his turn at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way. He thought that if he transplanted this spiritual mist grass into the strange space, although he could not sell it for the time being, he could sell it after a few years when the medicinal effect was achieved. Thinking of this, he carefully dug out the spiritual mist grass with its roots, and then found a hidden cave and began to look inward at the gray cloud between his eyebrows.
After the dizziness, Xiao Lin really appeared in the strange space again. He saw that the spiritual mist grass was still in his hand, and he couldn't help but smile. He came to the sapling, dug up the soil a few feet away from the sapling, and then gently planted the spiritual mist grass.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin saw the green leaves of the sapling turn around and turn to the other side of the Lingwu grass. In Xiao Lin's opinion, the sapling looked like it was disgusted with the Lingwu grass.
Xiao Lin couldn't help laughing, but he didn't care. After planting the Lingwu grass, he gently flicked the tender leaves of the sapling, and then it was transmitted.
Xiao Lin, who had just appeared in the cave, heard a roar of a raging tiger outside. His face changed, and then he showed a surprised expression on his face, but then he squatted down again, with a look of doubt on his face.
He heard a voice coming from outside.
"I didn't expect that there are saber-toothed tigers in this Tiger Roar Valley." A slightly younger voice said excitedly.
"Of course. I spent two low-grade spirit stones to buy this information from a Taoist friend who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. That person accidentally discovered this saber-toothed tiger while collecting herbs in the Tiger Roar Valley. However, his cultivation was too low and he was no match for this saber-toothed tiger. He reluctantly sold the information to me."
"Hehe, I am lucky for Brother Tuofang. This saber-toothed tiger is already an adult. The bone sword on its forehead plus the scales, tiger skin, and tiger bones on its body can be sold for at least 20 low-grade spirit stones. At that time, we can each get 10, which is also a small fortune."
"Hehe, what are we two brothers still arguing about? Brother Li, hurry up and get rid of this saber-toothed tiger as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin heard the fierce fighting and the roar of the saber-toothed tiger coming from outside. He carefully nestled in the cave and had no intention of going out. They were hunting saber-toothed tigers at a critical moment. If he showed up rashly, he would definitely be considered to want a share of the pie. If things go wrong, these two people will unite to deal with him first.
Xiao Lin was very self-aware of his own strength. He was definitely at the bottom of the list among the casual cultivators. Under normal circumstances, cultivators below the middle stage of Qi Refining would choose to find some work in the Immortal City. It was not difficult to earn one or two low-grade spirit stones a month. Only cultivators above the middle stage of Qi Refining would choose to go to the Tianlu Mountains to hunt monsters or look for some rare minerals and spiritual herbs.
And for a saber-toothed tiger, Xiao Lin would never do such a stupid thing to fight two cultivators who were much more powerful than him. He stayed in the cave, listening to the fighting outside. After a while, he simply closed his eyes and practiced the Dry Water Sutra. Although his Dry Water Sutra remained at the third level for more than half a year, Xiao Lin still practiced at least three hours a day.
Half an hour later, the fighting outside had disappeared, and even the sound of people talking had disappeared. Xiao Lin opened his eyes, carefully came out of the cave, and walked towards the depths of the valley.
After walking for a while, Xiao Lin suddenly stopped. He heard a faint groan and a weak voice coming from the front.
"Fang Xing, you didn't expect that there is always a mountain higher than the other. I am wearing the inner armor of the spiritual silkworm. Although I was hit by your fireball technique, which seriously injured my vitality, it didn't kill me. And you can't cure my cold toad poison at all."
Xiao Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this. He used his Qinggong to go around behind a big tree. He quietly looked out and saw a person lying on the grass not far away, and another person leaning against the trunk of a tree, his face a little pale.
The person lying on the ground just made a faint groan, and not far from them there was a tiger more than two meters long, half of its body was burnt black, and blood was flowing from its abdomen.
"Is it a rebellion?" Xiao Lin's face showed a look of surprise.
"Li Yan, you are so cruel. You actually poisoned me with cold toad poison early in the morning. I trusted you so much and gave you the Shining Shield technique that I bought at a high price. But you are so ambitious that you plotted against me.
"Bah." Li Yan said angrily, "You are so kind to give it to me? It's because you are attracted by our Li family's background. Our Shanbei Li family's strength in Dancao Mountain is enough to rank in the top ten among the cultivation families. You just want to get a recommendation from me so that you can get the recommendation of the head of the Li family."
