Chapter 217: Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng
Ye Changsheng flew with Zi Ling all the way, flew over the prairie, and gradually a majestic mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles appeared under their feet.
After obtaining the whereabouts of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng and the corresponding pill recipe from the memory of the old demon Xuan Gu , he had been planning to look for the whereabouts of this item after entering the Xutian Palace.
Things like the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng are not easy to catch. As a legendary immortal item, this spiritual medicine has developed its own intelligence. At the slightest sign of trouble, it will escape into the ground and disappear.
Moreover, the incarnation and the original body of this thing are separate, so to catch it you must grab both of them in your hands.
Therefore, just in case, Ye Changsheng needed a helper.
Originally, before entering Xutian Palace, he planned to ask Han Li for help, and then give him a pill of the Nine-Bend Lingshen Pill as a reward after he refined it.
But now that he has met Zi Ling, Han Li is no longer needed.
Flying with Zi Ling all the way to a desolate little stone mountain, Ye Changsheng stopped after searching below with his spiritual sense and said, "This is it!"
"Nine-bend spiritual ginseng, could it be in a place like this?" Zi Ling was a little surprised as she looked at the desolate area under her feet.
In her opinion, an immortal item like the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng should appear somewhere with extremely abundant spiritual energy.
“Yes, most people would not believe that the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng would appear here. However, if the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng was not in such a desolate place, but grew on a sacred mountain, I am afraid that over thousands of years, it would have been discovered and captured by someone!” Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
Under his spiritual consciousness, a vague and clear spiritual energy could be seen nowhere.
He took out a gold wire net from his storage bag, handed it to Zi Ling and said, "Only objects made of pure gold can capture the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng. Take this and wait here!"
Then, he immediately took out a few small ochre-colored flags and inserted them around the barren mountain, setting up a formation.
"This thick earth and floating dust formation can restrain the surrounding ground and prevent the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng from escaping. This formation is now in your hands!"
As Ye Changsheng spoke, he taught Zi Ling how to control the formation.
Then, he took out another box and opened it. An extremely fishy smell immediately hit my nose.
"What is this?" Zi Ling showed curiosity on her face.
"The feces of the Musk Orchid Beast is extremely tempting to the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng. As long as you put it into the formation, the incarnation of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng will definitely come to find it. At that time, you will control this incarnation and I will dig out the original body. In this way, you don't have to worry about it running away!" Ye Changsheng said.
After he handed these things to Zi Ling, he immediately flew out and used his powerful spiritual sense to search every inch of land around him, looking for the whereabouts of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.
After a while, he found the body of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng in the groove of a huge rock.
He immediately flew over to tell Zi Ling to put the musk orchid beast feces into the formation to lure out the incarnation of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng.
He flew towards the main body of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng, ready to dig it out.
After a while, a yellow light flashed on the grass outside the formation, and a little rabbit with a snow-white body and blood-red eyes appeared on the grass.
After observing the surroundings for a while in a sneaky manner, it suddenly made a "whoosh" sound and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the musk orchid beast feces in the formation.
It rushed to the jade box containing the musk orchid beast's feces, grabbed it in its mouth, and the beast immediately rushed out.
But at this time, Zi Ling had already made a move. She stretched out her hand and pointed, and the formation was activated. A hazy yellow light emerged, wrapping the snow-white little rabbit and making it unable to move.
Then, Zi Ling immediately threw out the golden net in her hand, covered the white rabbit, and caught it.
Ye Changsheng also dug out the body of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng and flew over to meet Zi Ling.
"Is this the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng?" Zi Ling looked curiously at the thing in Ye Changsheng's hand that was about half a foot long, earthy yellow in color, and had a dry and wrinkled skin.
If it weren't for Ye Changsheng, she would probably have thought it was just the rhizome of an old tree.
However, at the top of this thing, there is an extremely beautiful little silver flower.
This is the only surprising thing.
"Okay, let's release the incarnation of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng. This incarnation and its original body cannot be separated for too long!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile while holding its original body.
Zi Ling opened the golden net, and the snow-white little rabbit inside had fainted.
Ye Changsheng picked up the little rabbit and put it into the golden box containing the main body. After a flash of light, the little rabbit merged into the main body.
Ye Changsheng closed the box, placed a few restrictions on it, and then put the Nine-Curved Spiritual Ginseng into his storage bag.
"Next, as long as we find things like agate horn and thousand-leaf dew, we can refine the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng Pill!" Ye Changsheng said with a leisurely sigh.
This plant, which was originally used by Old Demon Han to assist in forming a fetus, finally fell into his hands.
Although he no longer needs it, there are many people around him who can use it.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go to the Ice and Fire Road!" Ye Changsheng said to Zi Ling.
Zi Ling was thinking about the longevity fruit, so she nodded immediately when she heard Ye Changsheng's words. The two then flew towards the Ice and Fire Canyon.
After flying for several hours, they arrived in front of a huge mountain that was several thousand feet high.
This mountain is tall and steep, covered with huge blue and black rocks. The entire mountain is divided into two in the middle, forming a huge canyon.
The canyon was divided by a line in the middle, with blue and red lights flashing on both sides, representing the Black Crystal Road and the Lava Road respectively.
At the foot of the mountain, at the entrance of the Grand Canyon, there were more than thirty monks in different clothes sitting quietly. Each of them had a solemn expression, as if they were waiting for something.
Ye Changsheng and Zi Ling separated far away, flew over from different directions one after the other, and entered the crowd.
At the front of the crowd, the two white-robed elders from the Star Palace sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, as motionless as two rocks.
On the other side, Qing Yi Jushi, the Nascent Soul of the Demonic Path, was sitting on a huge rock, holding a book in his hand and reading calmly.
However, his occasional glances into the distance showed that his real attention was probably not on the book.
So far, this is the only Nascent Soul that has come from both the good and evil sides.
Not long after Ye Changsheng and Zi Ling arrived, another group of figures came one after another.
Gradually, the number of people waiting in front of the canyon approached forty. Although the faces of the monks who came here were solemn, their auras were all very condensed, and each of them had an extraordinary bearing.
Their cultivation is considered to be relatively good, and they are basically in the middle and late stages of Jindan.
There are not many cultivators in the early Jindan stage like Ge Li, who was disguised as Ye Changsheng, and Zi Ling. There are only about six or seven of them.
But everyone was calm and composed, and it was obvious that they had some trump cards in their hands and believed that they could make it through the road of ice and fire.
But this time, I'm afraid all these people will die here.
"These two elders of Xinggong manipulated the restrictions to kill so many Jindan cultivators. They look kind-hearted, but they are very ruthless!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Although in the eyes of Zhou Yuan and others, Ye Changsheng had always killed many cultivators of the same level and had a heavy murderous aura.
But in fact, even if all the Jindan cultivators were killed by Ye Changsheng combined, they were not as many as those killed by these two elders in the Xutian Palace at one time.
After a while, a sound of breaking air was heard from the distant sky, and Wan Tianming and the other three Nascent Souls came together.
They glanced at Master Qing Yi with a sneer on their faces, and then found a place to gather together.
Seeing this scene, a gloomy look flashed across Qing Yi Jushi's eyes.
Among the cultivators who entered the Xutian Palace this time, the demonic side originally had the upper hand.
Two in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and two in the early stage of Nascent Soul could have easily defeated the righteous side.
However, Master Sanyang died inexplicably, and Madam Wen looked like she didn't want to get involved in the grudges here. Now, only Man Huzi and Qingyi Jushi are left.
This is already a disadvantage compared to the righteous path, and now Man Huzi has not shown up for some unknown reason.
If Man Huzi had not come, Qing Yi Jushi would probably not have dared to venture onto the rest of the road.
Time passed by minute by minute, and more than half an hour had passed, but Man Huzi still didn't come.
At this moment, strange looks appeared on Wan Tianming and others' faces, and they glanced towards Master Qing Yi.
Although Mr. Qing Yi looked normal, the gloom in his eyes became increasingly heavy.
Time passed little by little. Although there was no distinction between day and night in this space, everyone knew that a day was about to end.
Mr. Qing Yi was now somewhat restless, unable to maintain even his outward composure, and began to look frequently toward the distant sky.
However, Wan Tianming and the others no longer looked at Mr. Qing Yi with malicious eyes at this time. Instead, their expressions suddenly became gloomy.
There was a hint of horror in Wan Tianming's eyes, and the hands hidden in his sleeves began to tremble slightly.
The two elders of Xinggong who had been sitting as steady as a mountain seemed to be unable to sit still any longer. Their expressions became solemn, and their lips moved slightly as they whispered something to each other.
"Could it be that Man Huzi was killed by someone?" On the righteous side, Tian Wuzi secretly transmitted the message, his voice full of horror.
They remembered what Wan Tianming had said before and suspected that the person who forced Master Sanyang to self-destruct had mixed into the crowd here.
Man Huzi hasn't appeared until now. Could it be that this person has taken action again and killed Man Huzi?
If that's the case, it's too scary!
Wan Tianming, with a gloomy expression, looked at the forty or so Jindan cultivators sitting cross-legged in front of the canyon.
A hint of murderous intent rose in his eyes.
"If Man Huzi doesn't show up in the end, then we will take action and kill all the Jindan cultivators here!" Wan Tianming suddenly transmitted a message to the two people beside him.
"Brother Wan?"
Hearing what he said, Tian Wuzi and the old man who looked like the old farmer were shocked, both of them looked a little unbelievable.
"We must force out the person hiding in the dark, otherwise I can't go on in peace!" There was a firm tone in Wan Tianming's voice.
There is no doubt that if Man Huzi was really killed by someone, he would definitely unite with the Nascent Soul cultivators here to force that person out.
And I think that Mr. Qing Yi and the two elders of Xing Palace will not refuse this matter.
They certainly could not tolerate a person with such powerful strength hiding among these Jindan cultivators and frequently attacking them!
Just as the atmosphere in front of the valley became increasingly solemn and an undisguised murderous light appeared in Wan Tianming's eyes, suddenly, a sharp whistling sound that pierced through metal and stone came from afar.
The roar was like huge waves, each wave higher and more ferocious than the last, shocking most of the monks sitting here so much that they showed looks of horror on their faces.
When Mr. Qing Yi heard the whistle, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face and he let out a long sigh.
"Man Huzi seems to be in a good mood. He must have gained something unexpected!" Mr. Qing Yi said to Wan Tianming and the other two with a smile.
Although Wan Tianming and the other two had gloomy expressions, it was obvious that they looked relieved.
Man Huzi was not dead, and the heavy stone hanging in the hearts of the three of them finally fell to the ground.
"Could it be a false alarm? Did that man really die together with Sanyang?" Wan Tianming couldn't help but guess in his heart.
From the distant sky, a golden light came rushing over at a high speed and reached above the monks in the blink of an eye.
When they saw the person in the golden light, many monks here showed shock on their faces.
He was shocked by the strange appearance of the barbarian beard surrounded by the golden light.
Now he was as terrifying as a demon god. Not only did his body emit golden thorns, but his hands, feet and face were also covered with densely packed golden scales the size of copper coins.
These scales were as bright as if they were made of red gold, and they emitted a cold light, making one realize at a glance that they were extremely strong.
"Is this the Demonic Art of Supporting the Sky?" Many cultivators, seeing the majestic barbarian beard, were immediately filled with awe for the Demonic Art of Supporting the Sky.
Zi Ling looked at the golden light all over Man Huzi with a hint , and then glanced at Ye Changsheng not far away.
Ye Changsheng's expression was very calm, and it did not change at all because of Man Huzi's imposing look.
"It seems that Elder Ye is not afraid of Man Huzi's magic power!" Zi Ling thought to herself.
This barbarian bearded man looks so scary, but Elder Ye said he wanted to kill him. How powerful is Elder Ye?
With a glance, Man Huzi immediately saw Mr. Qing Yi, and then fell directly in front of this person.
"It seems that Brother Man must have gained a lot this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited!" When Mr. Qing Yi saw Man Huzi coming down, he immediately bowed and said.
"Haha, I did get some gains. I killed an ice snow toad near the longevity fruit tree. The inner elixir of this monster is of great benefit to my Tuotian magic skill!" Man Huzi said excitedly without hiding anything.
This made Mr. Qing Yi and everyone around who heard this look at each other in surprise.
So frank, I don’t know whether it is true or not!
"Congratulations to Brother Man. If his Tuotian magic skills can be further improved, I believe Brother Man will be able to fight against Shuangsheng and Liudao, right?" said Mr. Qingyi with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Man Huzi chuckled but said nothing more.
