At this point, the color of the fire rock grass is no longer red, but has become a little lighter. It should be because it is far away from the earth's fire and magma, that's why it is like this.
It is estimated that if these fire rock grasses are used to make elixirs, the efficacy of the medicine will be weakened accordingly. However, the number of fire rock grass at the entrance of the cave was quite large and could be measured. Zhou Yang put all of them into his storage bag.
After exiting the cave, there was a hazy mist, and the line of sight could only penetrate a few steps, and even the spiritual sense could only detect a few feet.
Anyway, finally see the light of day again. After eight months, he finally came out!
Zhou Yang stood still and looked around. There were faint shapes of vegetation in the mist, and there was the sound of beasts roaring in the distance. He secretly wondered where this place was, was it still near Hot Spring Peak?
Because the fog was too heavy, he couldn't judge the direction. But it stands to reason that it should not be far from Hot Spring Peak, and it is very likely that it is within the cliff below the peak.
A gust of hot wind blew by. Zhou Yang looked down and realized that he was still naked. He hurriedly took out the tattered clothes from his storage bag and put them on.
It should be summer at this time, which means that he is already seventeen years old.
With a sigh, Zhou Yang looked up because he saw the sun through the thick fog. The sunny side is south, and the south side of Hot Spring Peak is the small peak they passed when they came here. As long as they find it, the route will be clear.
The fog is thick under the hot spring peak and the heat wave is overwhelming. Zhou Yang wiped his sweat and walked towards the sun.
He must go back to see if Sima Ling'er is alive or dead. It was Ling'er who rescued him from the mine. Although he saved her first, they later experienced life and death together, and they could be considered friends in adversity.
Zhou Yang is a passionate person, and his love for Ling'er may be somewhat heterosexual, which makes him have the urge to go back. And he felt that the possibility of walking out of Cangshou Mountain alone was almost zero.
As for walking through thousands of miles of wasteland and returning to Anping City, it would be a narrow escape, it was too dangerous. Not to mention that he is only in the Lingtai realm, even the Tianyuan master dare not say that he can return to the city alone.
The dense fog area was very wide, and it took a lot of effort for him to get out. If there was no sunshine, he would have to get lost.
Finally finding the previous path, Zhou Yang rushed back in a hurry.
When he, Ling'er and others came to Hot Spring Peak, they all rode green wolves. Now it would take some effort to go back on foot.
Along the way, Zhou Yang was also looking for materials to refine the elixir. Colorless ore and mountain boar's blood can still be used for a long time, and fire rock grass is enough, so he focuses on looking for yellow grass, bell red and rock grass.
After walking hurriedly south for about two hours, Zhou Yang saw the small hill in the distance and was finally on the right path.
After passing the hill and passing a relatively high mountain peak, you will find the Xuanfu Sect's mine.
After climbing over the small hill in the middle, Zhou Yang actually collected all the materials needed for the two elixirs, and also found some colorless ores.
Walking down from the hillock, there are many wild grasses on both sides of the mountain road, some of which are as tall as a person.
Zhou Yang went into the wild grass, looking for wild boar for a long time without success, and then wanted to return to the original path. As we approached the mountain road, we suddenly heard someone's voice not far away. He hurriedly hid in the grass on the roadside, held his breath and listened carefully.
At this time, two green wolves came from a distance.
"Let us two brothers wait at Hot Spring Mountain. It's not in vain! There hasn't been a ghost for several months, so that girl will definitely not come again."
"Yes, who is so stupid that he almost died here, but if his head is not broken, he will not come back."
"But that little girl must be bored in the mine all day long. There is only one hot spring in Cangshou Mountain. Maybe she will want to take a bath in the hot spring. By then, we brothers will also have a feast for our eyes, hehe …”
"Stop dreaming. Even if you come again, the earth will bring a large number of masters. It's hard for a toad to look up at the swans!"
"Go away, you are the toad! Hey, yesterday I invited the captain to drink. The captain drank too much and actually told a huge secret." The man said, and his eyes glanced around.
"What's the secret? Come on, tell me, there's no one here."
"The deputy sect leader of Xuanfu Sect is about to break through the golden elixir. I heard that the day he breaks through the golden elixir will be the time to become the sect leader."
"What? What about the original sect leader! Didn't he go to exterminate the beast tide? He hasn't come back yet?"
"I can't come back! Our leader and others teamed up to plot against Sima Zheng."
"Is there still this matter? There is some enmity between our Holy Sect and the Xuanfu Sect, but is it like that?"
"You don't understand this. Our teaching has been in contact with the deputy sect leader Zhou Yuanzheng for a long time. As soon as Sima Zheng dies, our teaching will help him ascend to the throne."
"Oh, what benefits can the Holy Religion gain?"
"That's not something we can know."
"If that's the case, isn't this Xuanfu Sect making the same mistake as Cang Beast Palace!"
"With the help of our holy religion, the chance of success is very high. Besides, the deputy sect leader will soon achieve the golden elixir."
"Oh. Then I'll wait..."
"We are just a backup plan to be prepared. Maybe Li Chengdao has captured her long ago."
Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard this.
Something big happened to Xuanfu Sect. If Sima Ling'er was still alive, would she know about it?
The two of them walked and talked while riding Qinglang, and soon passed Zhou Yang's hiding place.
After the two people passed by, Zhou Yang frowned: "The sect is really troublesome, with overt and covert fights, cold arrows, and constant civil strife. It would be strange if it doesn't decline."
Before, he and Sima Ling'er were still lamenting the Blue Beast Palace, but now the deputy sect leader of Xuanfu Sect actually colluded with the Three Saints Sect to get rid of the sect leader Sima Zheng. This is really rare for people who have been around for thousands of years, but things that have happened for thousands of years are resurrected!
This is a huge secret, so I have to send a message to Ling'er quickly, which can be regarded as repaying her for saving her.
Zhou Yang didn't care about hunting wild boars and hurried towards the Xuanfu Sect mine.
"Sect Master Sima is afraid that he will not be able to come back. The deputy sect master has taken control of the sect, and this mine cannot escape the clutches of the devil. If we go back like this, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? It seems that we have to find a good strategy and be careful." On the way, he also Thinking to myself.
Several hours passed, and Zhou Yang finally climbed over the mountain peak and saw the Xuanfu Sect's mine from a distance.
He was extra cautious and leaned forward. Suddenly, a small beast jumped up and hit him directly.
With a bang, the little beast's head exploded immediately. Zhou Yang was stunned and secretly wondered if his body was that abnormal? This little beast is equivalent to treating him as a suicide tool.
Wiping the blood on his body, he continued to sneak away
When approaching the mine, Zhou Yang found that there were many more guards than usual, and the mine was heavily guarded. If you go there now, you will definitely be captured. If you are ready, you will be thrown into the mine and you will be a slave. If you are not, your life will be lost.
This place is still some distance away from the palace area. If these people are guards loyal to the deputy sect master, then he will be in misfortune. Therefore, you must never show up during the day, touch it first and see the situation before talking.
Zhou Yang had followed Sima Ling'er out twice, so he was familiar with the road conditions. But he currently has no magical weapon, only a long sword with a gap, and his strength is limited, so he dare not act rashly.
However, ordinary low-grade magical weapons and swords did not pose a threat to him. With his current physical state, he had a small chance of winning in a single fight with a mid-level Lingtai cultivator. If he is fully equipped, he is confident that he can win.
It's still more than half an hour before sunset. There should be fewer guards at night and the guard should be relaxed, but the threat of monsters is greater at night.
Zhou Yang hid in the grass and waited quietly for dark.
There was the sound of insects buzzing around the grass, and the screams of small animals in the distance. A flaming snake swallowed a bright red snake letter and passed by him.
Zhou Yang wanted to test the power of spiritual light, so he concentrated his spiritual power on his hand, and a red light shot out. A section of the tail of the flame snake was immediately cut off, and it fled in panic after being frightened.
Not bad, although the lethality is not strong, it is much stronger than when it first entered the Lingtai realm.
Not long after, a copper-backed golden beetle passed by him again, but suddenly stopped, stared at him with wide eyes, and made a low neighing sound from time to time.
This second-level spiritual beast is no longer a challenge to Zhou Yang. He put his fingers together and shot out a red aura, hitting the back of the outer golden beetle that was a foot away. With a pop, a puff of green smoke suddenly appeared from its tail, and the golden beetle fled away with a low cry.
If it weren't for the golden beetle's copper-like back, the aura would have caused some damage to it.
From this point of view, his current spiritual light has some power. Although it cannot seriously harm ordinary cultivators, there is no problem in interfering with one or two.
Under normal circumstances, the aura can only be released when it reaches the middle stage of the spiritual stage. And as soon as he arrived at the second level of the spiritual platform, he could shoot objects with spiritual light, which was already very good.
Finally, when it got dark, the guards outside the mine began to shrink and move closer to the inside of the mine, and Zhou Yang followed suit and moved forward slowly.
At midnight, he quietly walked up the hillside. There were only a few guards on duty at this time, and they were all dozing off.
Zhou Yang held his breath and crossed a few feet away from the two guards.
Two hours later, Zhou Yang passed three levels in a row. Except for being almost discovered at the last level, nothing happened. This has a lot to do with Zhou Yang's enhanced spiritual consciousness. He can sense any movement within ten feet.
Ahead is the mountain forest, and beyond the mountain forest is the palace area.
After entering the forest, there were more small beasts, but they did not pose a threat to Zhou Yang. He used his spiritual light to repel a few of them and then left the forest.
Not far ahead are the stone palaces.
Further forward, he found a figure moving in front of the palace, and there seemed to be shouts of killing.
"Oops, there's a fight!"
Zhou Yangzhong was anxious, no longer hiding his figure, and ran as fast as he could.
The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. From a distance, he saw Captain Pu fighting with two black-armored guards. Next to him, there was a man in black with a knife who was also surrounded by black-armored guards and fighting fiercely.
Another battlefield was a melee between a dozen black-clad guards and dozens of black-armored guards.
Looking at the situation in front of them, it was Pu Zheng and a group of guards who were desperately resisting the black-armored guards, and not far from them, two giant birds with red wings were chirping uneasily.
