But Ningxia will soon discover that the thing that made her hesitate for a long time seems to bring her some different surprises.
No matter whether this fellow Gu was trustworthy or not, or whether there was any shadow behind him, at least he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her - not yet.
And he also has something that she doesn't have at the moment...
"It's really there!" Ning Xia looked at the scene in front of her in amazement, a little unbelievable, and didn't dare to get too close, for fear that there would be some mirage ahead that would attract her in.
Gu Huai knew her concerns and did not force her to persuade her. He walked in at the lead, as if he didn't care whether Ning Xia would follow her.
Ning Xia observed around, and finally couldn't help but followed him, entering this somewhat majestic world.
The existence of Yinxuevine not only brought a thrill to Ningxia, but also unexpectedly pointed out a possible path for them.
Ningxia has struggled in the valley for so long without encountering a monster. This "delicious food" of hers is an accident among accidents. It is unlikely that one will come to her in a thousand years. If the Yin Blood Vine were to feed on this, it would probably starve to death sooner or later. She was a little surprised how the vine survived to this day.
However, there are no absolutes in the world, and Ningxia soon discovered that maybe what she saw was still too limited.
Gu Huai said that the Yin Blood Vine grows in the valley. In addition to absorbing spiritual power, it does also need a certain amount of blood food, that is, the flesh and blood of living things. This is also the reason why Ningxia is targeted by it, because Ningxia is in its diet. The monks have strong blood and spiritual power, making it the best delicacy.
But the characteristics of its emission are too obvious, and humans may not notice it, but animal monsters are extremely sensitive, and they will never set foot in this place unless necessary. Even if you don't know what kind of existence the Yin Blood Vine is, its powerful aura is enough to intimidate many existences here, making this place an absolute restricted area.
No matter how powerful the Yin Blood Vine is, it is essentially just a plant. It has not yet been able to transform into a free-walking body, so it is naturally impossible to forage everywhere. This means that if it wants to hunt enough blood food, it must let the prey fall into the trap and finally deliver it to its door. This is in line with its way of survival.
So what will Yinxuevine do? It's the same mucus, although it will turn into yin after a period of time, causing the contaminated objects to emit yin energy. But the original intention of the Yin Blood Vine to secrete it is somewhat unexpected. This mucus is actually the bait it uses to lure prey.
This kind of mucus is unparalleledly attractive to many small and medium-sized monsters. It exudes an addictive smell and can float dozens or hundreds of miles away.
This kind of aura can make them lose their minds and do irrational things in an instant, and the duration will not be short. Often the prey that wakes up after it expires has no time to escape from death, and can only die from the Yin Blood Vine.
Saying so much means that there must be many groups of monsters nearby, because the blood food required to feed such a Yin Blood Vine that can fill the entire valley is huge. There must be a suitable place for small and medium-sized monsters to grow nearby.
This kind of place is what they need to find in Ningxia. No matter where it is, it is better than this endless sandstone desert, because a place suitable for the survival of various small monsters is more likely to allow them to survive. Anyway, it is better than the place where the shovel digs out now, except for sand. good.
But how to find this place? Comrade Gu Huai provided an effective direction, which can be regarded as a piece of cold knowledge about Yinxueteng, and Ningxia has learned it.
This Yin Blood Vine is yin in nature, so it naturally likes water. There is usually water where it lands, and if it is nourished by water, it will grow much faster.
According to the characteristics described by Ningxia and its overall performance, this large bush of Yin Blood Vine should be several years old, estimated to have a life span of tens of thousands. This is not an easy thing to deal with. Ningxia is really lucky to survive in the end.
However, Gu Huai also deduced from this that there must be a water source nearby.
This is far from just the beginning.
Along the way, Gu Huai's understanding of the Yin Blood Vine was far beyond Ningxia's imagination. Wouldn't this person have suffered a big loss from Yin Blood Vine before? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have kept such a rare plant in my heart and knew every detail about it.
Unexpectedly, after Ning Xia couldn't help but ask this question, the other party shook his head and said that this was not his credit, but what he read from his father's notes. His father had encountered the Yin Blood Vine when he was young and had studied this demonic plant seriously, so now he talked about it like a treasure.

There was no other way, Taojun Lingxu had no choice but to guide him to practice slowly. He didn't want to be slow, but he couldn't be slow. He knew everything and was promoted quickly at a speed that others could not imagine.
Even though he was forced by Taoist Lord Lingxu and his cultivation time was delayed a lot, he still quickly reached the "basic" threshold for monks to really start cultivating - golden elixir.
However, Gu Huai didn't know that this was the beginning of his nightmare.
Not long after forming the elixir for the first time, he passed out because his body was too weak to bear it, and then his body collapsed rapidly. That time he was really on the verge of death, and Gu Huai found out again and again that his fate was so precarious.
No matter how much Daojun Lingxu tried to save and treat him, his body was still weakening little by little and was irreversible. As time went by, the realm of the golden elixir completely became his life-threatening talisman, and the golden elixir became a terrifying existence that kept eating away at his life.
Under the care of Taoist Lord Lingxu, Gu Huai had no choice but to accept his fate and destroy his own golden elixir realm with his own hands for the first time, sacrificing his energy to save his life, but it was just one more chance to survive.
In the days that followed, he formed elixirs again and again with hope, and dispersed his powers again and again. The distance between the two became shorter and shorter each time, and the cycle continued. Gu Huai couldn't even tell whether this horrible hell-like experience was an illusion or reality? Is he alive or dead?
In fact, he is not as calm as others think, nor is he as strong. In this time of wastage and disappointment, he almost went crazy and even had a twisted idea.
He cannot form elixirs. Can't he form an elixir? He can't form a pill!
Then he wants it. Even though he knew that this was only constantly wearing down and destroying his foundation, he couldn't help but cross that realm again and again and form the core. It seems that this way I can get a sense of comfort and fulfillment from it, and it seems that this way I can find a way to survive.
At that time, his body had already suffered from the root cause of the disease, and this was his first mistake——
Later, Gu Huai left Xuantian Sword Sect and wandered the mainland. He was constantly assassinated and even his friends who were with him died in vain on the road.
His life took another different tone, leading to another more tragic ending.
