Chapter 34 Undercurrent and Herb Picking
Just when Li Yi followed the herb-collecting team of Qianling Medicine Shop into the mountains.
In a small courtyard in the northern area of Juxian City, this is where the law enforcement team monks live. Each law enforcement team monk can live in a small courtyard. Although the small courtyard is not big, it is decorated quite luxuriously, and all kinds of precious furniture are everywhere here.
At this time, in the middle of the hall of the small courtyard, a young man with a gloomy face and wearing brocade clothes was sitting. Below the young man, there was an old man in black clothes. If Li Yi was here, he would definitely recognize this person. This person was the old man who chased him after he killed the young man outside Juxian City.
"Has the murderer of the ninth brother not been found yet?" The young man in brocade clothes asked in a cold and deep voice, looking at the old man under his command.
"Yes, Sixth Young Master, we haven't found him yet. But after he found out that the man came out of Wanbao Tower, there was no news of him. It was as if he disappeared. I guess it was Wanbao Tower who told him that we were hunting him down, and then aroused their vigilance and hid. I will send more people to find him. I will definitely find him and then avenge the Ninth Young Master." The old man in black gritted his teeth and said. At this time, the old man's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.
"Father has already known the news that the Ninth Brother was killed. Although the Ninth Brother has a bad background and his qualifications are not very good, he is a disciple of our Chen family after all. He is not allowed to die like this. You are his bodyguard. Let him be killed in front of you. Your guilt this time is not small. If it weren't for me to plead for you, you would be a dead man now." The young man looked at the old man and said expressionlessly.
The old man's heart sank, and then he said with some fear: "Thank you, Sixth Young Master. I will definitely find out the murderer who killed the Ninth Young Master."
"Well, I got a message from the inside of Wanbao Tower. That kid bought some alchemy books. I guess he wants to make pills by himself, but he didn't buy any spiritual medicine. I think he is going to Tianyun Mountain Range to collect spiritual medicine and then make pills. Also, Qianlingyao sent a herb-collecting team into Tianyun Mountain Range yesterday. Their destination is Yunwu Ridge. I suspect that kid sneaked in. You go and see. If this person is really there, kill him and bring me the top-level spiritual weapon. You can't be unable to deal with a cultivator of the fourth level of Qi Refining!" The young man said, looking at the old man with squinted eyes.
"I have no problem dealing with him, but the cloak on him should be a spiritual weapon that hides his aura. I chased him for a long distance last time but failed to catch him. Later, I suspected that he was hiding not far away. When I figured it out, it was too late to look for him." The old man said a little depressed.
After listening to the old man's words, he thought for a while and said, "This spiritual weapon is for you. This is a spiritual mirror. With this spiritual weapon, no matter what kind of hidden spiritual weapon he is, it should be able to be detected. If you still mess up this time, you don't have to come back, go down!"
The old man took the spiritual weapon given by the young man, and he was happy in his heart. He said with a little excitement: "Thank you, young master. With this treasure, this old slave will definitely not let you down. As long as that kid is over there, he will definitely bring back what you want." After speaking, he bowed and retreated.
Li Yi was the first to come to Tianyun Mountain Range, and he was very curious about all kinds of things there. There were high mountains and deep forests here. There was a faint spiritual energy between the mountains. There were rolling clouds and mists between the mountain tops, and various wild beasts appeared from time to time in the mountains and forests. During their journey, they had encountered several waves of monsters, but they were just some ordinary monsters. Everyone easily solved them and gained some. Qianling Medicine Shop didn't care about these monster materials, but sometimes they would encounter a large group of poisonous bees. Although these poisonous bees were only first-level monsters, the appearance of a large group also made Li Yi and his team flee in panic.
During this period, Li Yi also harvested several spiritual medicines, all of which were just sprouting spiritual medicines. Qianling Medicine Shop naturally looked down on them. Li Yi, however, regarded them as treasures and put them directly into the space of the small tripod. Others naturally sneered at Li Yi's choice, and even looked down on them.
"Brother Li, this medicinal material has just sprouted, and you can't keep it alive if you take it back." Just when Li Yi finished a spiritual medicine with roots and soil, a young man behind him said.
This person was none other than Chen Ming, the cultivator from the Qianling Medicine Shop who was in the same group with him. During this journey, because Li Yi had helped him block the attacks of several monsters several times, he was full of gratitude to Li Yi, and the relationship between the two became much closer.
"Well, it can't be raised, why is that?" Li Yi asked in some surprise.
"Spiritual medicine needs to grow in places with dense spiritual energy. In ordinary places, the spiritual energy is thin, and planting spiritual medicine may cause the degradation of medicinal properties. Only some large sects use magic arrays to arrange medicine gardens to create a place with rich spiritual energy, and such places can cultivate and plant spiritual medicine." Chen Ming said.
"So that's the case, I'll take it out and try it." After hearing what the young man said, Li Yi didn't believe it. He had a small tripod and cyan liquid, and he felt that he could successfully plant it.
Seeing that Li Yi was unwilling to give up, the young man stopped dissuading him, and then asked: "Brother Li, you entered the Tianyun Mountains this time mainly for these spiritual medicine seedlings!"
After hearing what the young man said, Li Yi was shocked, and then asked: "How did you know."
"This is not a rare thing, because every year there are many cultivators like Brother Li who follow the cultivators of Qianling Medicine Shop to collect herbs. But most of them return disappointed. Some fellow Taoists will encounter danger while collecting herbs and then lose their lives. I have a senior brother who encountered danger while collecting herbs last time and did not return." Chen Ming said with some sadness.
"Really? Is it so dangerous?" Li Yi was a little unbelievable. With so many people, they were not afraid of ordinary monsters at all, unless they encountered high-level monsters.
"Of course, do you know why we hired so many cultivators to protect us this time? Because there was a third-level high-level monster in Yunwu Ridge, which is equivalent to a cultivator of the eleventh or twelveth level of Qi training. There is a second-grade spiritual medicine cold fog grass that is more than 300 years old. This is our main task to collect herbs in Yunwu Ridge." Chen Ming said.
After hearing Chen Ming's words, Li Yi was shocked. The person from Qianling Medicine Shop didn't say that the third-level monster was not something he could deal with. If he encountered it, he would have problems even if he ran away.
Thinking of this, Li Yi frowned and his face immediately turned gloomy. He felt that he had been tricked by the people from Qianling Pharmacy.
