In fact, in this fight, Lu Li didn't want to kill Fengyun from the beginning, he just wanted to test the opponent's trump card, so even if the opponent escaped, he was not too disappointed.
Moreover, he did not dare to kill Duan Fengyun, not because he was worried about being chased by Taiqing Palace, but because he was worried that Duan Fengyun had the same amulet as Yuan Junlong. If the amulet was touched, he might not know how he died.
This is the helplessness of not having a backstage.
The next few days were peaceful. The two of them didn't even encounter a single monster along the way. They passed through the ninth level of the ancient forest without any danger and completely left the forbidden area of the Red Mountain.
There are undulating hilly areas ahead. Compared with the vast and dark red mountain forest behind, the view of the sea hills is obviously much wider and no longer so depressing.
"We are now out of the Hongshan Forest. You can go alone." Lu Li glanced at the rolling hills in front of him from a distance, tilted his head and said to Liu Yi beside him.
"Sir, you..."
"You and I don't know each other until we fight. From now on, you are still you and I am still me. However, I will not unlock the Demon Soul Contract for you for the time being. I think you can understand the reason without me having to explain."
"I understand, but I really want to follow you, Master." Liu Yi said seriously.
"But, I don't want to take you with me now."
Lu Li sounded so ruthless that Liu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I won't cause trouble for you, sir, take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Liu Yi chose a direction at random and flew forward to the right.
"Hey! Wish you good luck."
Lu Li glanced in the direction Liu Yi left, then looked away, took out a small map from his arms and looked at it. This map was exactly the one Yuan Junlong gave him.
Although the map is crudely marked, the material seems to be pretty good. It should be made of some high-grade animal skin, and it also has a strange fragrance.
After looking at it and determining the direction, Lu Li took it into the Space Palace, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the left front.
Although it was empty here, Lu Li didn't fly too high because the map recorded that Ziyin Jiang was very easy to appear in this hilly area, and he didn't want to miss it.
Soon, Lu Li arrived at the first ravine.
He cast his pupil technique in mid-air and glanced down along the ravine, but unfortunately there was no Ziyin Jiang in the ravine, so he continued to fly forward.
In this way, he soon searched nearly ten ravines.
About half an hour later, Lu Li's expression suddenly brightened, and he swooped down towards the hillside of a half-mile wide ravine, and then got into a low forest with great excitement.
"Tsk, tsk, you're so lucky!"
Lu Li looked at a branch in front of him that was all purple and shining with spiritual light. He couldn't help but sigh happily, and then he squatted down and started digging on the ground.
After a while, Lu Li took out a palm-sized elixir from the sand that looked similar to ginger but was purple in color, and carefully put it into the medicine garden.
There is no doubt that this is Ziyin Jiang.
He thought he might have come out too late and that these areas had already been searched, but he didn't expect that he had found one after only an hour of walking.
It is worth mentioning that the medicinal properties of Ziyin ginger are entirely wrapped by the thin purple skin on the outside. As long as the purple skin is damaged, the medicinal properties will be lost quickly.
Therefore, the rule of the Taiqing Palace is that no matter how big or small, one piece of Ziyin ginger counts as one point. Of course, it must be at least four hundred years old. Low-level ones cannot get points.
Because these elixirs are extremely picky about their growth habits, and there are no records of successful cultivation in Beixuan Continent, taking out elixirs that are less than four hundred years old is a waste, and it is better to leave them to the next batch of monks who come in.
Of course, this didn't matter to Lu Li, because he found that he could cultivate these elixirs in his own medicine garden.
However, so far, Lu Li has not encountered anyone lower than the fourth level. The elixirs he obtained are all fully mature and cannot grow any longer. This is because the secret realm is only opened once in more than a thousand years.
After putting away the Ziyin Ginger, Lu Li took off into the air again, flew along the ravine and scanned it before continuing towards the northwest.
On the other side, there is the sixth level of Hongshan Forest.
Yuan Junlong's team has expanded to twelve people, but at this time, Yuan Junlong's face was not very good, and the fragrant moths in front of him suddenly started bumping around like headless flies.
"Holy Son, have you lost your breath?" A young female cultivator with good looks asked in surprise.
"Um."
Yuan Junlong nodded, took out the leather bag from his waist, and put the fragrant moth back, "But it doesn't matter. He probably won't miss the Emperor Ginseng. We can just rush to Yunhe Mountain."
As he said that, he walked and said, "You should always pay attention to the movement of the token. If there are people from the same sect, immediately notify them to come over. This Hongshan Forest is not simple. There are also some evil cultivators with bad intentions mixed in. Please inform them." They try not to act alone..."
"clear!"
After hearing this, everyone took out the tokens one after another.
Wan Peng opened his mouth when he saw this, then sighed, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
"Senior Brother Wan, if you have anything to say, just tell me that you are not tired from the journey. I am tired from seeing you." Yuan Junlong turned around and said to Wan Peng, then turned around and continued walking forward.
When the others saw this, they all looked at Wan Peng in surprise.
Wan Peng frowned, then quickened his pace to follow, saying as he walked: "Holy Son, with all due respect, that man saved us anyway. If we do this, I'm afraid it will damage the sect's reputation... "
"Is this what you're doing?"
Yuan Junlong glanced at Wan Peng calmly, "Let me ask you, I have never met him, why did he save me?"
"What if he is a chivalrous man?"
"Really? Then let me ask you again, why didn't he save me from the beginning?"
"This..." Wan Peng suddenly couldn't answer.
"Can't you answer?"
Yuan Junlong curled his lips and said mockingly: "Let me tell you, in fact, when we were fighting with the Huangji Immortal Sect, they were hiding in the dark and watching...
After we narrowly defeated him, he sent the ugly monster out to act as a test. Only when we had exhausted all our cards and could no longer stop him from obtaining the Spark Grass, did he pretend to run out and drive the ugly monster away.
Its purpose is nothing more than to gain both fame and fortune. It can not only easily obtain the Spark Grass, but also make our Emperor's Immortal Sect owe him a favor. As everyone knows, I have already seen through his tricks..."
Yuan Junlong spoke eloquently and directly made Wan Peng speechless. After thinking about it, it seemed that it was really the case. Then Wan Peng frowned and said:
"Then...Son, why did you tell him about the Emperor's Ginseng? You know, there are a lot of Emperor's Ginseng in that place...?"
