Chapter 700: Harvesting Spiritual Medicine, White Spiritual Water (Subscription Request)
After entering the valley, although some spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines can be seen along the way, Song Qingming is still a little worried about the spiritual medicines in this "spiritual medicine garden". Most of them may have been damaged because no one has taken care of them for so many years.
Unexpectedly, the spiritual medicines here have not been damaged much after thousands of years. Only some low-quality spiritual medicines have aged and withered prematurely because they have not been picked at the maturity period.
Looking at the high-level spiritual medicines in the "spiritual medicine garden", Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan looked at each other and both showed a look of joy.
If these spiritual medicines can be brought back to the family, they will not have to worry about cultivation resources for at least a few decades.
Not to mention other clansmen, Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan, and Song Qingyu, the three Jindan ancestors, have so many spiritual medicines above level three in their hands. It should not be a problem for them to successfully cultivate to the late Jindan in the future.
After the two glanced at the "spiritual medicine garden", they each took out a storage bag and began to pick the many spiritual objects in front of them like a whirlwind.
Except for those that were not yet mature, all other spiritual medicines, regardless of their grade, fell into the storage bags of Song Qingming and his partner.
In order to move faster, Song Qingming also specially called out "Golden Wind" and arranged for him to help pick the lower-grade spiritual medicines in the "Spiritual Medicine Garden".
The three of them worked for half an hour and finally picked all the mature spiritual objects in the "Spiritual Medicine Garden". With a full harvest, they soon gathered together next to the gathering spirit array in the middle of the "Spiritual Medicine Garden".
This "Gathering Spirit Array" is very cleverly designed. After thousands of years, the spiritual medicines that are still growing continuously collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and almost half of the elite spiritual energy in the entire valley are gathered in the array to supply the dozen high-level spiritual medicines inside.
Although so many years have passed, most of these high-level spiritual medicines in the "Gathering Spirit Array" are not yet mature, and only two can be picked.
These two spiritual medicines are without exception, both of which are precious spiritual medicines with a medicinal age of more than 2,000 years and a quality of Grade 4.
Level 4 spiritual medicine is a very rare spiritual object in the world of immortal cultivation. Its value is difficult to measure with spiritual stones. Any one of them can attract the competition of those top Nascent Soul cultivators at the auction.
Song Qingming has been cultivating for so many years, and he was only lucky enough to see a low-quality Level 4 "Crystal Lotus" when he went to Yue Kingdom with Xia Mo and others to explore the Nascent Soul Cave.
However, because Song Qingming went to help at that time, he could not compete with them for this thing, and finally this precious Level 4 spiritual medicine fell into Xia Mo's hands.
The quality of these two Level 4 spiritual medicines in front of him is not inferior to the "Crystal Lotus" that Song Qingming had seen that year. The value of these two spiritual medicines alone is much higher than the hundreds of spiritual medicines that Song Qingming and others had picked before.
"Husband, this Tianqing Bailing grass is mature and can be picked at any time, but the other Mutan flower is not old enough. If we pick it now, the efficacy may be damaged, and it is estimated that the value of the spiritual medicine will be reduced by one or two percent.
Should we pick them together or wait until next time?"
As an alchemist, Huang Siyuan is already very familiar with various spiritual medicines. She quickly recognized the spiritual medicines in front of her and pointed out the problems.
"Let's take them together. This secret realm can only be opened once every seventy or eighty years. We don't know when we will come in next time. If we need it urgently, we won't be delayed."
After hesitating for a while, Song Qingming quickly made a decision and took out the two fourth-level spiritual medicines from the "Gathering Spirit Array" with Huang Siyuan.
Pick the spiritual medicine in advance, although it will damage the efficacy of this fourth-level spiritual medicine, but now Song Qingming and his team have so many spiritual medicines in their hands, there is no need to be so distressed about the loss of the value of this little spiritual medicine.
After picking all the mature spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine garden, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan roughly counted and found that they had harvested nearly 300 mature spiritual herbs in total.
Among them, there were two spiritual herbs with a quality of level 4, and more than 40 spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits above level 3. There were also 7 or 8 spiritual herbs that could be used to refine the main medicine for foundation building. Most of the remaining more than 200 spiritual herbs were of level 2 or above.
According to the market value, the value of these spiritual herbs is no less than 400,000 spiritual stones. Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were quite excited to get such a huge fortune in this secret realm.
However, the reason why Song Qingming and his team could get so many spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine garden at once was that no one had come here for more than 2,000 years, and the spiritual herbs had not been touched.
After their large-scale picking this time, there would definitely not be so many mature spiritual herbs when they come in next time. At most, they would only get 20% to 30% of the harvest this time.
Even so, let alone other places in the secret realm, this "spiritual medicine garden" alone can pick spiritual objects worth 100,000 spiritual stones every hundred years, which is an extremely important place for Song Qingming and the entire family.
As long as the Song family can firmly control this secret realm in the future, relying on the resources here, the family's development prospects will be limitless, and they can continuously cultivate Jindan cultivators.
When the family foundation is sufficient, it is not impossible for the Song family to cultivate a Yuanying cultivator one day like other Yuanying forces in the world of cultivation.
By then, the Song family will become a Yuanying family that can control its own destiny, and no longer be subject to the sect or other surrounding Yuanying forces.
Thinking of this, Song Qingming was a little excited, wondering if he would have the chance to see this day.
After carefully collecting the picked elixirs, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan spent a lot of time organizing the "Elixir Garden".
Although the two of them are not high-level spiritual planters, they have learned some basic knowledge of planting spiritual medicine in the world of immortality.
After cleaning up all the useless weeds in the "Spiritual Medicine Garden", we took out hundreds of spiritual stones and filled them around until the aura of the entire "Spiritual Medicine Garden" improved a bit compared to before. Song Qingming and Song Qingming each showed a bit of satisfaction.
"The spiritual energy here is quite sufficient, and it will be able to recover a little more after these spiritual stones are completely refined. If we come again next time, we might as well bring Yuan Xue over.
Her spiritual plant level is about to reach the second level of high-grade, so there should be no problem in taking care of these spiritual medicines. "
Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "I came in a little hastily this time because I didn't know what was going on here. I must be more prepared when I come in next time.
It’s almost done here, let’s seize the time and look elsewhere first! "
After the two of them walked out of the valley, Song Qingming cast another spell to remove the formation flag on the "Xuanbing Array". After the restriction guarding the valley resumed operation and the ice cave that Song Qingming had penetrated was re-blocked, They were relieved and turned around and left here.
With this "Black Ice Array", it is impossible for ordinary monsters to break into the valley. In the past two thousand years, no monster has been able to enter the "Elixir Garden", which is enough to prove the power of this restriction. It's enough to reassure them.
After leaving the "Spiritual Medicine Garden", Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan with him to several other places in the secret realm where high-level spiritual objects were recorded.
However, it is a pity that most of these places have been occupied by demonic beasts because they do not have powerful formations to restrict them, and most of the spiritual objects inside have fallen into the belly of the demonic beasts.
After Song Qingming and the others walked around in a large circle, they only found a few third-level spiritual fruits that were useful to them. In order to fight for the spiritual objects, they also encountered a relatively unlucky third-level low-level demon king.
This demon, like "Red Flame", was a demon king who had only broken through the Golden Core realm within a hundred or two hundred years. His cultivation was in the early stages of the Golden Core. Song Qingming and his two men killed it with their swords without much effort, and gained a lot. Few high-level monster materials.
Three days later, over a bottomless canyon in the southeast corner of the secret realm, two rays of light suddenly flew from a distance and landed on an open space on the edge of the canyon.
"Is the place you mentioned down there?" As soon as he reached the top of the canyon, Song Qingming immediately asked "Chiyan" who was standing on Huang Siyuan's shoulder.
After taking a careful look around, "Red Flame" nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's right below. Let me guide the two masters!"
After the blood-red "Red Flame" replied to Song Qingming, he immediately jumped off Huang Siyuan and flew directly down the canyon quickly.
Seeing this, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan immediately turned into two rays of light and followed them.
After two days of searching in the secret realm, Song Qingming and Song Qingming had already explored the places recorded in the note left by Zhao Jibai. For a moment, Song Qingming and Song Qingming didn't know where to go to find the spiritual objects, so they followed "Red Flame" there. The place where it secretly drinks spiritual water.
Although the lifespan of monster beasts is much longer than that of human monks, most of their time they are in a state of undeveloped spiritual intelligence. Only after cultivating to the golden elixir stage can they slowly open their own spiritual intelligence and gradually catch up with human monks in cultivation.
In addition to relying on penance, monster beasts, like human monks, can also use some means and take some special spiritual objects to purify and improve their bloodline and open their own intelligence in advance.
The two demon kings Longfeng and Qingluan that Song Qingming met at the beginning, as well as the "ice and fire dragon" that Song Qingming hatched and was cultivating, were all demonic beasts that had already opened their spiritual intelligence in advance.
However, there are many low-level monsters in the world of immortality. Those monsters that have such an opportunity to open their spiritual intelligence in advance are just like those lucky people among human monks who are born with outstanding spiritual talents. It is almost impossible to survive.
It was beyond Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan's expectations that "Red Flame" could have such good fortune. Therefore, Song Qingming was also very curious about the spiritual water that could change its destiny.
After following "Red Flame" into the canyon, they soon passed through the clouds and fog that obscured their vision in mid-air and arrived at the bottom of the canyon.
The bottom of the canyon is extremely narrow, only less than a foot wide. There is a stream that does not look deep flowing through the middle. From time to time, there are sounds of rapid flowing water from all around.
"That spiritual spring is in a cave not far upstream. It used to be my cave, but it has been occupied by that hateful black bear for decades."
After arriving at a place that he was very familiar with, "Red Flame" also brought back a burst of bad memories in his heart, and he felt aggrieved and vomited the bitterness in his heart to Huang Siyuan behind him.
Upon seeing this, Huang Siyuan immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it's just a mid-stage Golden Core monster. It can't escape as long as we help you avenge it."
Under the leadership of "Red Flame", Song Qingming and the others soon arrived at a dark cave located in the upper reaches of the stream.
Before Song Qingming and "Red Flame" could confirm the location of the monster, a violent roar came from the entrance of the cave, shaking the entire canyon.
After a while, in the dark cave, a tall and huge black bear ran out and came to "Red Flame" who was running at the front.
When he first saw the old rival "Red Flame", the black bear demon king was very disdainful and wanted to drive it away by relying on his more powerful middle-stage golden elixir cultivation.
But before it started to take action, two more powerful auras suddenly appeared behind "Red Flame", causing the "Black Bear Demon King" who was just about to take action, to suddenly put down his sharp claws.
"Haha! Stupid bear, you are going to be unlucky today."
After seeing the "Black Bear Demon King" appear, "Red Flame" also burst out with a ball of red flames. He was ready to avenge his shame and repay his hatred for being robbed of his training cave by the other party for so many years.
After the "Red Flame" gathered a ball of flames above its head, it immediately dodged and flew into the air to attack the "Black Bear Demon King" and shoot out a stream of red flames.
As soon as this attack flew in front of him, the "Black Bear Demon King" lightly shook the hair on his body, and suddenly slapped his forepaws on the ground. A transparent water mirror appeared in front of him, and he easily blocked the attack of "Red Flame" .
"It's actually a monster that has practiced water-attribute skills. No wonder Chiyan is not its opponent. This monster is a bit tricky!"
Seeing the "Red Flame" in front of her being restrained by the opponent's skills in the fight with the "Black Bear Demon King", Huang Siyuan quickly fell behind. After whispering, Huang Siyuan quickly took out her own magic weapon "Purple Gold Seal" "Step forward to help and join the fight.
The "Black Bear Demon King" has actually just advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. Facing the siege of Huang Siyuan and "Red Flame", two early Golden Elixir monks, he can no longer take much advantage.
After the two sides fought for a while, a black shadow struck in mid-air, and another big man in black with a high level of cultivation joined the battlefield. The "Black Bear Demon King" who was originally able to cope with it gradually became somewhat unbeatable and fell into an extremely difficult situation. Passive situation.
However, despite being at a disadvantage, the "Black Bear Demon King" was physically very strong. Faced with the siege of Huang Siyuan and others, he did not suffer many injuries on his body.
Seeing that the opponent had a large number of people and was unable to win if he stayed, the "Black Bear Demon King" immediately used his magical power to force Huang Siyuan to retreat and quickly fled to the side to high altitude, hoping to escape from the battlefield and escape from the canyon.
However, the "Black Bear Demon King" had many actions. Several golden lights suddenly flew out from the mountain wall, directly binding the limbs of the "Black Bear Demon King" like ropes, leaving it in the air as it tried to escape. .
This sudden turn of events caught the "Black Bear Demon King" a little off guard, struggling hard in mid-air, trying to get rid of the shackles of the golden rope.
But although the rope formed by the golden aura was torn into a mess by the "Black Bear Demon King", it was surprisingly strong. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not be broken. On the contrary, the "Black Bear Demon King" restrained it tighter and tighter. .
Seeing this scene, Huang Siyuan, "Red Flame", and "Golden Wind" who were chasing after them suddenly became happy and quickly joined the battle to continue besieging the trapped "Black Bear Demon King".
Not far above their battlefield, Song Qingming was concentrating on manipulating a golden formation flag in his hand, casting spells to control the golden rope binding the "Black Bear Demon King" below.
When Huang Siyuan and the others had just stepped forward to fight the "Black Bear Demon King", in order to prevent the other party from finding a chance to escape, Song Qingming had already arranged a "Golden Light Demon Binding Formation" above the canyon in advance.
Although there was not enough time, Song Qingming arranged this formation at will. However, the "Golden Light Demon Binding Array" is a third-level formation after all. Even if its power is weakened, it can trap a "Black Bear Demon" that has just broken through the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. "King" is not difficult.
Being besieged by Huang Siyuan and other three golden elixir monks, and being restrained by the "Golden Light Demon Binding Array" and unable to exert his full strength, the "Black Bear Demon King" soon suffered a lot of injuries.
After struggling to hold on for half a stick of incense, the somewhat unlucky "Black Bear Demon King" screamed and finally fell down in front of everyone unwillingly, and was killed by Huang Siyuan using his natal magic weapon.
"Stinky Bear, you bullied me and took my cave, and you are here today!"
Seeing the motionless "Black Bear Demon King" lying on the ground in front of him, "Red Flame" immediately jumped on its head and began to show off his power and pride.
Huang Siyuan had just opened the belly of the "Black Bear Demon King" and taken out the inner elixir hidden in its body. Song Qingming, who had put away the formation flag above, had already flown to their side.
"This guy's skin is really difficult to deal with. It feels much thicker than the average demon king. If my husband hadn't taken action in the end, the three of us might not have been able to keep him!"
Song Qingming nodded when he saw this and said: "This demon is average in strength, but its body is a bit strong. If we don't come in, it will have no opponents in this secret realm.
Given another few hundred years, it might be possible for him to break through to the late Golden Core stage. After this disaster is eliminated, there should be no powerful monsters in the secret realm. "
"Hmph! This stupid bear wasn't much more powerful than me originally. He just occupied the spiritual spring in the cave and used the spiritual water to strengthen his body and break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir. Otherwise, my master and I would be enough to deal with it. ”
"You are saying that it drank the spiritual water before it broke through to the middle stage of the golden elixir. Can this spiritual water also strengthen the physical body?" Song Qingming asked with some confusion.
The reason why he was a little confused was that "Chi Yan" was also a monster that drank the spiritual water, but its body was not that different from the rat monster king that Song Qingming had encountered before, it just opened its spiritual intelligence in advance.
"Chi Yan" nodded immediately after hearing this and said: "When I first fought with this guy, his body was not so strong. Later, after he took away his cave, I gradually found that he became more and more powerful.
This guy has changed so much in just over a decade. If I am not mistaken, it must be because he also drank the spiritual water."
"Oh! According to what you said, this spiritual water can not only open up the spiritual intelligence, but also has the effect of strengthening the body. It is indeed a bit amazing."
Song Qingming nodded thoughtfully, and did not ask any more questions. He turned to Huang Siyuan and helped deal with the huge corpse of the "Black Bear Monster King".
In addition to the life golden elixir in the body, the bear paws and bear gall on the body of this "Black Bear Monster King" are all rare high-level monster materials outside.
Regardless of whether the spiritual water mentioned by "Chi Yan" is valuable or not, Song Qingming and his team have made a worthwhile trip by capturing a middle-stage Jindan demon king and obtaining tens of thousands of spiritual stone demon beast materials.
It took the two of them a long time to finally collect all the materials from the "Black Bear Demon King", and then walked into the dark cave next to them under the guidance of "Chi Yan".
The cave is very wide, enough for five or six people to walk side by side, but it is a bottomless darkness, which makes people feel a little invisible depression after entering.
Seeing that the fire from "Chi Yan" in front of him illuminated the entire cave at the signal of Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming hurriedly put away the night pearl he had just taken out.
After the two followed "Chi Yan" into the cave for hundreds of feet, they finally came to a large cave with a radius of more than ten feet.
After arriving here, "Chi Yan" also became excited all of a sudden, and jumped a few times on the ground and came to a depression in the middle of the cave, looking at the pool of white spiritual water gathered inside with some greed.
"This damn black bear has drunk a lot of spiritual water over the years. Fortunately, he didn't drink it all!"
"This is the spiritual water you mentioned!"
After hearing the complaint from "Chi Yan", Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan carefully scanned the entire cave and followed him.
The white spiritual water in the pool looked somewhat similar to the "Millennium Spiritual Milk" that Song Qingming had seen. Although it didn't look particularly eye-catching, it did exude a very rich spiritual energy, and it was obviously not an ordinary vulgar thing.
Just as Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were carefully observing the white spiritual water in the pool, "Chi Yan" on the side had buried his head in the pool and began to swallow the spiritual water in it.
"Alas! Who told you to drink it secretly!"
Seeing that this guy actually began to swallow the spiritual water in front of them, Song Qingming hurriedly frowned and picked it up, threw it hard on the ground beside him, and scolded it again.
This time, it was not easy to find so much spiritual water. Song Qingming didn't know the value of these things yet. He couldn't feed them to the greedy little mouse in front of him before he got them.
"Chi Yan" was thrown aside. Seeing Song Qingming staring at him fiercely, he was also a little scared and ran to Huang Siyuan with grievance. (End of this chapter)
