Chapter 583 Gathering
"What? Daoist Fellow Sufeng doesn't know how many people are coming?"
The beautiful woman seemed a little surprised when she heard this, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
A flash of light flashed in Ye Chunyang's eyes. It seemed that the beautiful woman's trip was a little strange, but he still shook his head calmly: "When Daoist Fellow Xu invited me that day, he only said that there were several other Daoists, but did not tell me the specific number, so I really don't know about this matter."
The beautiful woman suddenly realized, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know how many people Daoist Fellow Xu invited to Ghost Valley. If you want to know, you can know after he comes."
"That's good." Ye Chunyang nodded and fell silent.
After a conversation, the beautiful woman also smiled and found another secluded place to meditate.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Chunyang glanced at her with a little dark light in his eyes.
Ghost Valley is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for the wind spirit stone, Ye Chunyang would never have taken the risk. But he didn't know what conditions Xu Tai had given to the purple-clothed beautiful woman to come and help.
And it seemed that other masters had not arrived yet. Was Xu Tai's purpose of winning over the team so hard to pick a spiritual herb really as simple as that?
Ye Chunyang thought in his heart, and looked in the direction of Ghost Valley again, secretly becoming more vigilant.
However, he remained silent on the surface and continued to wait in the original place, while the purple-clothed beautiful woman held several spirit stones in her hand and silently recovered her vitality.
This wait lasted another three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, two rainbow lights flew in from the sky. Ye Chunyang opened his eyes and looked into the air. He suddenly saw a figure with disheveled hair and several cloth bags sewn on his body. It was the sloppy old man Xu Tai.
"Haha, have fellow Daoist Sufeng and fellow Daoist Zi arrived? I am late, please forgive me, fellow Daoists!"
The sloppy old man landed in the mountain, and after seeing Ye Chunyang and the purple-clothed beautiful woman, he bowed and laughed heartily.
"It's okay, I just came a few days early, just observe here."
Ye Chunyang waved his hand indifferently. Although he had been waiting here for many days, he was not without gain.
It was the purple-clothed beautiful woman who snorted with a slightly cold face and said with a little displeasure: "Fellow Daoist Xu invited us to come half a year ago, but he was late for several days. In any case, there should be an explanation."
"Fellow Daoist Zi, don't worry, there is a reason for my lateness. The reason why I was late for several days was to fulfill my promise to fellow Daoist Zi."
The old man smiled and showed mystery on his face. After saying this, he suddenly paused and silently transmitted something to the beautiful woman.
I don't know what the old man said, but the beautiful woman was refreshed after hearing it. Her face changed several times and then she became silent with a slight smile.
Seeing the two of them so mysterious, Ye Chunyang frowned in his heart, but pretended to be ignorant.
At this time, the sloppy old man smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Sufeng, what you think of is also in the Ghost Valley. You will get what you want after entering the valley."
A hint of amusement flashed through Ye Chunyang's mind, and he glanced at the beautiful woman in purple. The old man just said "also" inadvertently, it seems that there is something else here.
When he glanced at her, the beautiful woman was also startled, and there seemed to be a dark color in her beautiful eyes, but she didn't say much.
Ye Chunyang smiled lightly and nodded calmly.
At this time, there was another stream of light flashing in the air, and a light of escape slowly detected the surroundings before landing. When it approached, the figure in the light of escape seemed to have discovered something, and couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.
The light of escape faded away, and a handsome middle-aged man in a moon-white long gown appeared in front of the three people. When Ye Chunyang saw this person, his face also showed a strange look.
The other party looked very familiar. It was Wang Xuan who introduced him to the underground market half a year ago.
"Fellow Daoist Sufeng is here too. What a coincidence. It seems that you were also invited by Fellow Daoist Xu to enter the Ghost Valley together."
Wang Xuan looked at Ye Chunyang with a strange look on his face, looking very surprised.
"It is indeed a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Fellow Daoist Wang here."
Ye Chunyang smiled. He didn't expect that Wang Xuan was also one of the helpers invited by the sloppy old man. It was something he didn't expect.
"What? Do you two know each other?"
Seeing the familiarity between the two, the sloppy old man looked surprised, but the purple-clothed beautiful woman frowned slightly, and her expression flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"I met Fellow Daoist Sufeng once. We just separated half a year ago. I didn't expect to meet again in such a short time."
Wang Xuan said with a grin.
Ye Chunyang's face was deep. He didn't expect to see this person again. They just met by chance. When he left the underground market, he left a letter to him to say goodbye. He thought he would never see him again, but he was also involved in this trip.
"So that's it. Now that everyone is here, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Zi Bingji, Fellow Daoist Wang Xuan, and Taoist Master Su Feng. I am very grateful that the three of you agreed to help me go into the Ghost Valley to collect herbs. However, there are demons rampant in the valley. I have ventured into it once. The danger inside is not something that one person can go through alone. This time I need to rely on you three."
The sloppy old man introduced each other and reminded them of the situation in the valley again.
The three nodded seriously when they heard it.
Ye Chunyang observed the purple-clothed beautiful woman and Wang Xuan, and found that although the two were cautious, they were calm on the surface. Obviously, they were familiar with the situation in the valley, and they did not hesitate even though they knew that this trip was dangerous. It seems that the conditions offered by the sloppy old man are quite generous.
However, Ye Chunyang didn't care about this. No matter what kind of reward the old man gave the two of them, it had nothing to do with him. As long as he could collect the wind spirit stone, he would achieve his goal.
As for the old man's words about collecting herbs, if it can be done, it will be done. If it can't be done for him, he will never be stupid enough to take the risk to pick it for him.
Seeing that the three people were all silent, the sloppy old man seemed to guess what they were thinking. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Although I promised to give you the corresponding conditions for this trip, collecting this spiritual herb is extremely important to me, and what you want is with this herb. Unless you take the herb first, I'm afraid your wishes may not be fulfilled."
Including Ye Chunyang, the three people couldn't help frowning when they heard this, secretly cursing this old man for being cunning and treacherous, fearing that they would not admit the benefits, so they warned him with these words first.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xu. Since we have come here, we have naturally shown our sincerity. However, before entering the valley, Fellow Daoist Xu had better tell us what kind of spiritual herb you want to take, so that we can recognize it at a glance when we meet it." The purple-clothed beautiful woman waved her hand lightly.
Ye Chunyang and Wang Xuan also looked at the sloppy old man.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zi, don't get me wrong. I have no ill intentions. I just want to remind you three. The spiritual herb I want to take is called 'Yin Gu Grass'. The information is all in this jade slip. You may as well take a look."
The sloppy old man touched his nose and laughed dryly, and threw a jade slip to the three people.
The purple-clothed beautiful woman took it first, probed into it with her spiritual consciousness and examined it for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and passed the jade slip to Wang Xuan.
This person followed the same method and probed in the jade slip, frowned a few times, and then silently threw it to Ye Chunyang.
Seeing the two people's expressions, Ye Chunyang did not say much and also used his spiritual sense to detect.
But soon, he calmly withdrew from the detection and returned the jade slip to the sloppy old man. However, when the other party took back the jade slip, Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed a strange color.
From the information on the jade slip, the Yin Bone Grass that the sloppy old man wanted to take was in a Yin Qi spiritual vein in the deepest part of Ghost Valley. The danger was probably several times stronger than that of the outer valley.
But what puzzled Ye Chunyang was that this grass was obviously grown in the genetic land, but it was a spiritual grass with the most yang attribute, and it was only suitable for refining strong medicinal pills. I don't know what this sloppy old man wants this grass for.
The sloppy old man did not notice Ye Chunyang's abnormality. After taking back the jade slip, he patted the Qiankun bag again and took out a bottle of pills from it.
The old man opened the bottle cap with a flick of his finger, poured out four pills, took one himself, and then gave the rest to Ye Chunyang and the other two, saying: "This is a pill to ward off evil spirits. After taking it, it can form an evil-warding aura in the body, and it will be relatively safer after entering the valley."
Ye Chunyang took the pill and tested it. He was always cautious and would not easily take anything given by others. However, seeing that the other two took it without objection, and after testing, he found that there was indeed no problem with the pill, so he swallowed it.
This trip was initiated by the sloppy old man. If he refused, it would obviously arouse his suspicion. Before getting the Wind Spirit Stone, Ye Chunyang did not want to cause trouble.
Besides, with his current strength, he can easily kill even if he is in the late stage of calculation ability. Even if the sloppy old man really has some problems, it is not a big deal for Ye Chunyang.
Seeing that the three people had no objection, the sloppy old man smiled knowingly, then turned to face the Ghost Valley, and after a slight exploration with his spiritual sense, he said: "There is one thing I need to remind you. Although the Yin wind in the valley has weakened a lot now, it will not last more than ten days. Once the time limit is reached, the Yin wind will become strong again, and the strength of the demons in the valley will also increase. Therefore, we are in a hurry and must achieve our goal before the Yin wind returns, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
"Can it only last for ten days?" Wang Xuan murmured, his eyes slightly gloomy.
The purple-clothed beautiful woman also looked suspicious, but the two of them tacitly did not mention it.
Ye Chunyang's face was like ancient water, completely calm.
The ten-day time may be tight, but the situation in the valley is still unknown, and everything needs to be determined by the actual situation.
"Since the three of you have no objection, let's enter the valley immediately."
Seeing that the three of you had no objection, the sloppy old man immediately jumped and rushed to the valley entrance first.
The weakening of the wind can only last for ten days, which is very urgent for him who wants to go deep into the valley to collect spiritual herbs. He can't afford to delay.
Seeing this, the three of them did not stay any longer, and followed the old man to escape to the valley entrance.
Although they were familiar with the rumors about the Ghost Valley, this was their first time entering it. The sloppy old man had experience in breaking into the Ghost Valley, and he was the initiator of this trip, so it was naturally safest to let him lead the way.
