Chapter 101: Profiting in Secret
According to Ye Chunyang's knowledge, Fengling Tower is divided into two layers, one inside and one inside. Each area stretches for thousands of miles and is extremely vast. The inner layer is where the true wealth of elixirs is found.
Naturally, there are elixirs in the outer layer, but if they really want to be among the top fifty in this trial, everyone places their hopes on the inner layer.
However, the inner layer is getting closer to the Western Region, and it is even rumored that Feng Lingque has been occupied by barbarian tribes in recent years. If you go to collect medicine, you will be stepping into other people's territory, and the end will be worrying.
This information was only collected by Ye Chunyang in Fenling City a few days ago. At this moment, he was standing on a small hill full of spiritual energy, overlooking all directions.
There was no one around except him.
Moreover, this Fengling Tower was different from what was expected. It was not a desert thousands of miles away, but lush and green, like a blessed land on the land of Dongzhou. It was extremely spiritual, which surprised Ye Chunyang who had just set foot here.
"It seems that after entering the Immortal Barrier, everyone else was randomly teleported. This is good, so that no one will follow and hinder the movement."
Ye Chunyang waited and watched for a while, then immediately spread his body and swept away into the distance.
With his superhuman consciousness, he had an absolute advantage in finding elixirs. He immediately noticed that there seemed to be spiritual energy coming from three miles away, and he targeted it as the first target of the trip.
At his speed, the distance of three miles could only take a moment. As he approached, he found an ice-blue, umbrella-like Ganoderma lucidum blooming under a dense ancient tree, exuding a dense fragrance of spiritual energy.
"Sure enough, Blue Crystal Zhi!" Ye Chunyang was secretly happy.
He had seen these elixirs before, and they were the main ingredients for refining the "Qingxin Dan". This elixir can help people enter samadhi and prevent them from being disturbed by inner demons during practice.
This medicine requires at least a hundred spirit stones to be purchased in the outside world, but I didn't expect to find it so easily here.
However, Ye Chunyang was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he gave a sneer and hid his body high in the sky, allowing Ye Xiaobao to approach quietly.
Then a strange scene appeared.
The "Blue Crystal Zhi" was pulled up directly without any sign of anyone, and then disappeared.
"Huh?"
At this moment, a sudden sound of surprise came from somewhere, and then the earth trembled. A huge spider with tentacles and a dazzling silver light crawled out of the jungle. Its size was terrifying. .
At the same time, behind the spider, a male cultivator in green clothes flashed out, holding a strange magic spell in his hand, and drove the silver-armored spider to step in the direction where the blue crystal was originally.
"It's strange, how could Lan Jingzhi disappear out of thin air when there is no one around?"
The male cultivator in green had a gloomy look on his face. He looked around but couldn't find anyone.
But before he finished speaking, with a "chi-la" sound, a blunt sword without an edge suddenly appeared from behind, directly stabbing the male cultivator in green to the core.
He looked in disbelief at the blunt sword that passed through his chest. When he turned around, there was no sign of anyone, and an endless chill suddenly filled his heart.
"How... is this possible? Who killed me?"
The male cultivator in green opened his eyes wide and fell down straight with unwillingness.
This blue crystal mushroom was the first he discovered, but he did not pick it immediately because he knew that there would be other trialists nearby. As long as he lurked in the dark and made a surprise attack, he would definitely gain something. He never thought that blue Jingzhi disappeared mysteriously, and she died in an unknown manner, and even the person who took action could not see it.
How could he know that the invisible Ye Xiaobao was standing next to him like a ghost, and silently gave him a sword, killing him.
"First-level lower-level monster, silver-armored spider?" Appearing from the air, Ye Chunyang was attracted by the giant spider next to the male cultivator's body: "This person knows the method of driving monsters. It seems that he is a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain. It's a pity that he dug He's so bad at setting up ambush and can't hide it from me at all."
Ye Chunyang smiled coldly, picked up a jade bag on the man's body, and thrust his spiritual power into it. The silver-armored spider quickly shrank and got into the bag.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang showed curiosity: "I think this thing is a spirit beast bag specially used by the disciples of the Beast Taming Mountain to raise monsters, and it is accepted as a trophy. Maybe it will be useful in the future."
After disposing of the body of the monk in green, Ye Chunyang stopped staying here and continued flying to the inner layer.
…
On an empty plain, the light was as bright as a rainbow, and the sound of collision of magic weapons could be heard from time to time. Looking closer, one could see seven or eight monks fighting fiercely. One of them was carrying a long sword and was dressed in white. There is an island tattooed on his chest, and his movements are strange and fast, repeatedly suppressing the sword-wielding party.
"The seven sects are all in the same spirit, but you, Fuling Island, are actually attacking behind your back. This is simply too much!"
On the side holding the sword, a beautiful young female cultivator stood up, her face full of hatred.
"Hahaha... We are all in the same spirit? The little girl is too naive. Don't you know that after entering this place, there will only be competition and fighting? Besides, your Burning Sky Sword Sect has been ranked second among the seven sects for too long. Today is the day to take a break. Your arrogance may mean that it will be my turn to take over this position."
An old man from Fuling Island chattered and laughed strangely. This man's cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation construction, and his number is also higher than that of the Burning Sky Sword Sect. He is naturally arrogant and majestic.
"You want to kill us?"
The young female cultivator from the Burning Sky Sword Sect had cold, beautiful eyes, and the hand holding the sword hilt was faintly dripping with blood. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot of injuries in the fierce battle just now.
"That's right! None of you can survive today!" The old man from Fuling Island laughed sinisterly and waved his hands in vain, "Kill me!"
In an instant, five or six monks from Fuling Island swarmed forward, aiming their magic weapons and spells at the Burning Sky Sword Sect members.
Seeing such an overwhelming situation, despair flashed in the eyes of the young female cultivator, and she was powerless to struggle anymore. She could only close her eyes quietly and wait for death to come.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
There was a loud bang, and the sky was full of rainbows. A series of dazzling golden lights shot from the sky, like a meteor flying by, carrying a terrifying spiritual pressure and falling to this place.
Everyone present was shocked and looked up. They saw that the golden light contained thousands of flying swords, which suddenly chopped down in an overwhelming manner.
"Puff puff puff!"
No one on Fuling Island could stop them. In an instant, they were chopped into ashes by these thousands of flying swords.
"Ten Thousand Swords of the Universe! Xiao Jingyu!"
The old man from Fuling Island, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, suddenly realized something, and his face showed a look of extreme horror.
He threw out a talisman for earth escape and was about to escape underground.
"Since you have recognized me, why do you have to leave?"
Before the old man from Fuling Island could escape, a cold voice came from the dense flying swords in the air, and then thousands of flying swords were seen rolling back in the wind, entangled around the old man.
In an instant, only the old man's miserable screams were heard. When the thousands of flying swords calmed down, only a bloody corpse was left on the ground.
He was pierced through the heart by thousands of swords.
The sword energy dissipated, and in front of the young female cultivator of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, a handsome man appeared. He was no more than 25 years old and looked very handsome. Although he did not hold a sword, there was always an amazing sword energy surrounding his body.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao, for saving my life!"
The young female cultivator was excited and knelt down to thank her. Her beautiful eyes could not hide her admiration.
"We are all fellow disciples. You don't have to be polite, junior sisters."
Xiao Jingyu is a legendary figure in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect. He has a gentle personality and profound cultivation. All the female disciples in the sect are fascinated by him.
But this man is devoted to Taoism and has never been tempted by any woman, which makes those female disciples who admire him pursue him even more.
"Speaking of which, Fuling Island is also very bold. It even dares to move people from my Burning Heaven Sword Sect. It seems that I will have a good talk with the Sect Master after I get out." Xiao Jingyu laughed and turned back to say to several female cultivators: "This journey is dangerous. You should follow me to avoid any accidents."
Xiao Jingyu did not mention the matter of collecting herbs at all. He only cared about their safety, which made these female cultivators look charming and happy.
They wanted this very much.
Xiao Jingyu smiled slightly, without saying much, and waved his hand casually. Several sword energies lifted up several female cultivators and turned into streamers and flew away.
The same scene was constantly played out in Fenglingque.
In less than a day, there were many corpses lying on the ground, and every place where there were corpses was a place with abundant spiritual energy, and it was obvious that spiritual herbs had grown there.
But there was one place where the situation was quite strange. It was a fierce fight before, but after a beautiful woman in white appeared, both sides stopped and showed respect to the woman, allowing her to take the elixir and float away.
...
"Look! That's a disciple of Lingyun Sect!"
"The leader seems to be Su Xueyuan, who is as famous as Fairy Qingcheng and Xiao Jingyu. What methods did they use? They were not dispersed by the fairy barrier?"
"Go, go, go! Hide quickly. There are 20 or 30 foundation-building cultivators together. We must not be discovered by them, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"
On the other side, Su Xueyuan stepped on the Qingtian Xuanguang Ruler, followed by a group of Lingyun Sect disciples. Looking carefully, no one in this faction was separated. Such a large army passed through the air, making the single disciples of each faction shrink and dare not show their heads, so as not to provoke the other side.
"There are a total of fifty places this time. Fortunately, the sect master has already made arrangements for us to gather quickly with magic weapons. Now we just have to wait for the various factions to fight in the outer layer, and we will go directly to the inner layer to collect herbs."
The movements of the people below naturally did not escape Su Xueyuan's eyes. She also encountered many spiritual medicines of extraordinary quality along the way, but she did not stop for a moment and led the crowd to the inner layer.
The crowd behind him did not dare to object and followed him closely.
...
"Bang!"
In a certain rocky forest on the outer layer of Fenglingque, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly came out. A figure in the dust and smoke was holding a herb in his hand and walked out slowly with a smile.
"Although I got dozens of spiritual herbs in one day, the quality is far from meeting the qualifications of the top 50. It seems that I have to enter the inner layer as soon as possible."
Ye Chunyang turned around and took a look at the barbarian monster that was killed by Ye Xiaobao with a sword, and felt slightly satisfied.
Although the barbarian monsters in the Western Regions are more ferocious than the monsters in the East Continent, they cannot escape Ye Xiaobao's ghostly sneak attack.
With the special effect of Xiaobao's invisibility, he has already picked a lot of spiritual herbs. If he continues like this, he will be the one who gets the most in this trial.
However, the trial results are not only based on the number of spiritual herbs picked, but also on the quality. If all the spiritual herbs picked are of low quality, it will be useless no matter how many there are.
However, it was already late at night, and the barbarian monsters appeared frequently, so he had to find a secret place to rest first, and then set off to the inner layer at dawn tomorrow.
