Fortunately, the two of them did not find any demonic beasts with perfect spiritual guidance, but they found a soul-awakening grass.
The so-called soul-awakening grass is an herb with a faint light all over its body. Its leaves are similar to orchids, and its function is just like its name, it can warm the soul or the soul.
For high-level monks, this herb has no other use except to warm the injured soul, but for low-level monks, it is terrible.
In addition to strengthening the soul and increasing the chance of condensing the soul or the afterbirth of the soul, taking it directly can also increase the life span of low-level monks by three to five years.
Or it can be refined into a soul awakening pill. The lower the cultivation level, the better the effect of taking it. Even mortals can take it, which shows its value.
Therefore, powerful sects often use soul-awakening grass or soul-awakening pills to reward low-level disciples. Of course, increasing life span only has a one-time effect, and taking it twice will have no effect.
As soon as the soul-awakening grass came out, Ge Yong's eyes naturally turned red.
These years, he has not been studying those miraculous elixirs that can increase his longevity and achieve realm breakthroughs, but as a low-level monk in the Lingyin Realm, he can't afford the soul-awakening grass even in Bailian City, not to mention Yaoguang City. a leaf.
So how can you not be excited when you see the baby of your dreams?
But when Ge Yong saw the soul-awakening grass, Qingyun's pupils also shrank slightly.
He did not forget Xiao Qi's care before he fell asleep, saying that he wanted to find more heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nourish his soul, so that he could wake up earlier and for a longer time, and also help Qingyun improve his cultivation and tide over the difficulties.
But there seemed to be only one soul-awakening grass, but there were two of them, which made Qingyun feel hesitant.
Of course he wouldn't do that kind of murderous thing, but he didn't want to give up a good soul-awakening grass so willingly.
But while he was still deep in thought, Ge Yong spoke first:
"Little brother, you also know that I, old Ge, don't have much longevity. This soul-awakening grass is my life-saving grass. You won't be so heartless and watch me die, right?"
Because Qingyun had been leading the way when he arrived, Ge Yong didn't know about his resistance to poisons, so he specially gave Qingyun some elixirs he had collected in return.
At this time Qingyun turned around, shook his head with a wry smile and said to Ge Yong:
"To be honest with Mr. Ge, I also really want this soul-awakening grass. Look..."
Qingyun expected that before he finished speaking, Ge Yong interrupted him rudely and made a serious face on the spot, saying coldly:
"Fellow Taoist, although the two of us have agreed to hunt for treasure together, we still have to have priorities, right? Even if you can only stay in your current state for the rest of your life, you will at least have a life span of more than a hundred years! But what about me? ? There are only a few years left, and now this soul-awakening grass is my life! Fellow Taoist, please show your respect!"
Qingyun smiled bitterly when he heard this. He knew that Ge Yong was right, but he also needed it!
Just seeing the old man's resolute attitude in front of him, he thought for a while and finally said in frustration:
"Okay, okay, then you will collect the soul-awakening grass first. If there are more later, Mr. Ge, you can't take it from me again!"
I thought that this young boy would argue with reason and even get away with two moves, but I didn't expect that the other party would give up this valuable spiritual herb so easily.
Not only was the senile Ge Yong not happy, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
Precisely because the soul-awakening grass is valuable, if they do something to each other, or if Qingyun asks them to pay a price before collecting it first, this can make him believe it more.
The difference between the two is only a small level, and this boy is also young and strong. Although Ge Yong is confident that he can kill Qingyun within twenty moves, the other party gave up so simply, which really made Ge Yong have a cry in his heart. Sowing seeds of doubt.
Seeds usually germinate very quickly.
So after walking less than half a mile, Ge Yong took advantage of the two of them to enter a dense forest and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Qingyun's back!
It's a pity that Young Master Qingyun is not a monk in the middle stage of ordinary spiritual realm?
His keen sense is far superior to that of his peers, and he has long discovered the murderous intention looming in Ge Yong. However, as long as old man Ge does not take action, Qingyun does not want to strike first.
After all, he had already given up the need for the Soul-awakening Grass first. If Ge Yong still had ulterior motives, then no wonder he was ruthless!
The long sword was ready to go, and Qingyun turned around to block the opponent's sneak attack.
Taking a closer look, Commander Ge Yong also had a long sword. As the metal and iron clashed, he could only hear him sneer:
"Sure enough, I have been prepared for it. Isn't this little beast planning to kill people and silence them?"
"Stop spitting on others!"
After all, Qingyun is more than a hundred years younger than Ge Yong. Even though his physical strength is strong and his spiritual power is extremely strong, he is still inferior to Ge Yong in the later stage of Lingyin. With just one blow, he was hit hard by the opponent. The sword knocked him back seven or eight steps.
On the other hand, Ge Yong remained as still as an old tree with its roots, and a cold sneer appeared on his face.
In his opinion, the fact that Qingyun took out the sword so quickly didn't just prove that he had been prepared for a plot? So the eyes that looked at him were even more murderous.
Seeing that Ge Yong really had murderous intentions, Qingyun did not dare to neglect him. The Nine-curved Sword Scripture started to operate rapidly, and the three sword energies in his Dantian were ready to be fired at any time.
But how could the experienced Ge Yong give him a chance to gain momentum?
Although he is old, driven by his survival instinct, he has exploded into a strength that is far beyond normal.
With only three swords, Ge Yong forced Qingyun back nearly twenty or thirty steps, and even cracked the tiger's mouth on his right hand, leaving it bloody and bloody. This also made the young master really feel the power of cultivation. for the gap between.
Moreover, Ge Yong was really smart and cunning, and he had already been prepared for the sneak attack of Qingyun Sword Qi. After a close wound was opened on his face, he actually avoided a murderous disaster.
Throughout the few life-and-death battles that Qingyun has experienced, he only watched the fight between Qi Fei and Ma Wang from a distance and did not feel it deeply.
When it came to fighting Ma Wang, their relationship was between sneak attacks and counter-attacks, and there was no difference in cultivation. Ma Wang originally fought against him after being seriously injured.
As for Zhou Yang, he immediately escaped after injuring him with his sword energy, let alone the giant snake demon who was not very intelligent.
Therefore, only after having a sword fight with Ge Yong in the late Lingyin realm with real swords and spears, did Qingyun put himself in his shoes and realize the difference between the realms.
However, he was not discouraged and instead became more courageous as he fought. Because he had experienced it head-on this time, he also eliminated his cowardice of wanting to run away when encountering an opponent whose cultivation was higher than his own. This could be regarded as removing a layer of mental barriers for him in disguise. .
Ge Yong, on the other hand, was shocked after a few duels.
He thought that he could crush this young man, but he never thought that Qingyun was like a piece of brown sugar, unable to be shaken off or beaten. Apart from the injuries from the tiger's mouth, he felt that this kid's breath was not even disordered. It was really a ghost.
However, he is a man who has lived for more than a hundred years, and when he was surprised, his hands became even more ruthless, and he kept throwing some hidden weapons at Qingyun.
Although the lethality of hidden weapons is limited, the young master will inevitably be injured by Ge Yong's sword if he is distracted.
The two fought for about a quarter of an hour. After all, Ge Yong was an old man. Even though his spiritual power was strong and his body was as old as a rotten tree, he was already as old as a rotten tree.
On the other hand, Qingyun's body was criss-crossed with new and old wounds like a chessboard, but he still seemed like an invincible little strong man who became more and more fierce as he fought. One was declining, the other was growing, and Ge Yong gradually seemed to be unable to do his job.
Qingyun was overjoyed when he saw this.
Although he is very reluctant to bully the old man, but the truth is that the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. If you want to kill me, how can I sit still and wait for death? And you must also be prepared to become a dead soul under my sword.
So the young master saw the right opportunity, decisively held the long sword, and flew towards the old thief Ge who was taking a breath, intending to kill him with one blow.
However, as he got closer to the old man who seemed to be at a loss what to do, the vague feeling of weirdness and unpleasantness in his heart became stronger.
And when Qingyun was about to approach Ge Yong within ten feet, the feeling of uneasiness suddenly turned into a warning sign of a life and death crisis, which made him immediately understand that there must be something fishy!
"No, I fell into a trap!"
After forcing himself to calm down, Qingyun found that Ge Yong, who seemed to be exhausted, was bursting with pride and ridicule from time to time in his cloudy eyes, which was obviously very inconsistent with the panic movements of his body.
In desperation, the young master did not care much and suddenly dropped the sword in his hand, intending to engage in a close combat with the opponent.
After all, his trump card is not the half-complete Yunfei sword technique, nor is it the popular Nine-curved Sword Scripture, but:
"Kirin Purple!"
He saw the winding blood line between Qingyun's eyebrows suddenly protruding again, and his eyes were slowly occupied by the bloody red. With his loud shout, Ge Yong also abandoned his sword and suddenly slapped Qingyun's palms. out!
I saw that his old hands, which were still flesh and blood, had turned into a pair of skinny and withered claws at some point, with some weird black light faintly shining on them, and he said ferociously:
"Netherworld Skull Claw!"
There was a loud bang, four palms struck each other, and the strong collision of spiritual energy shook the two people, causing rocks to fly and vegetation to scatter.
It's a pity that Qingyun lacks the foundation accumulated over the years. As the rumbling sound sounded, he flew back directly, spitting out a lot of blood from his mouth.
With a face like gold paper, he finally hit a big rock a few feet away and fell down. There were even cracks radiating out from the stone surface behind him, which showed the ferocity of the opponent's palm power.
As for the old thief Ge Yong, although he was breathing heavily, he did not vomit blood. His originally cloudy eyes were currently looking at the half-dead Qingyun, his expression was very proud.
After regaining his breath a little, he walked forward with a cruel expression, looked at the blue clouds that seemed to have lost half of his life, and said with a sinister smile:
"You little beast, didn't you expect that? What I'm best at is not swordsmanship, but poison skills! Hahaha, you've been poisoned by my skull, enjoy your short life!"
