Beishan Hongcheng, City Lord's Mansion
Seven nights in the woodshed, a simple rest.
Early the next morning, he took out the middle-grade mysterious weapon "Ice Silk Treasure Armor" that he had always treasured from his spiritual ring and wore it close to his body.
This treasured armor was Han Qi's previous collection and could withstand a full blow from a strong person at the 'Late Ninth Level War Spirit Level'.
It had been stored carefully before Qiye, not daring to take it out easily to avoid exposure.
He was going to enter Beishan Medicine Valley today, so he naturally had to be fully prepared.
Wear the treasure armor and swallow the purchased second-grade elixir "Sanqing Dan".
As soon as the pill enters the body, a cool and refreshing feeling spreads throughout the body. My mind, which was still a little drowsy when I woke up early, suddenly wakes up and even feels a little ethereal.
Qiye felt the effect of the medicine with some satisfaction, then took out the talisman bag containing the poisonous needle and hid it on the inside of his clothes. On the outside, hanging on his waist, was an ordinary talisman bag used to hold medicinal materials...
After making all preparations and covering up, he pushed open the firewood door and walked outside the courtyard.
At this moment, many people have gathered in the small courtyard, preparing to enter the Medicine Valley.
Qiye consciously lined up at the end of the queue, waiting to set off.
The crowd was bustling for a while and then quickly quieted down, and the elders of the Alchemy Hall came to the front of the team one after another.
"Ahem... For this medicinal gathering trip, the twelve Alchemy Hall elders will lead the disciples into the medicine valley in groups. The specific groups will be determined by drawing lots. Everyone, please come forward and draw lots. Disciples who have drawn the corresponding numbers, please stand. Corresponding group column..."
Elder Situ coughed a few times to moisten his throat, gave a brief introduction, and then arranged for the disciples to come forward and draw lots.
Dantong disciples lined up one after another and randomly selected a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube prepared in advance.
The numbers 1 to 12 are written on the bamboo sticks, representing 1 to 12 groups respectively.
Everyone is proceeding in an orderly and fast manner...
When it was Qiye's turn, there was only one bamboo stick left among the bamboo sticks.
Qiye had no choice but to pick it up and take a look: 1
Looking at team 1 again, one can see Yan Wan standing quietly in front of the team.
As for the other people, some looked familiar but did not recognize them, but one or two disciples cast disdainful looks at Qiye.
It's a pity that I'm not as good as Lu Zi, otherwise...
Qiye sighed secretly in his heart, feeling quite disappointed.
Looking up, I found that Lu Zigao was placed in Group 7.
At this moment, Lu Zigao was chatting enthusiastically with the female disciples in the team.
Seeing Qiye looking at him, she glared at him fiercely, then turned her head and ignored him and continued chatting.
"You don't seem to be afraid of that Lu Zigao?"
Suddenly, Yan Wan in the team asked tentatively.
"Uh... how could it be possible? I am an outer disciple of the first-level junior level, and he is an alchemy disciple of the eighth-level junior level. If he wants to bully me, how can I not be afraid of him?"
Qiye smiled blankly and spread his hands casually, which seemed to be reasonable.
"Then be careful and don't mess with him. Otherwise no one can help you."
Yan Wan took a serious look at Qiye's expression and reminded him.
"Well, thank you, Senior Sister Yan, for reminding me. Ah Qi knows."
Qiye nodded and dealt with it.
He was very grateful to Yan Wan for the reminder.
After all, yesterday, if she hadn't stopped Lu Zigao in time, she might have had to resist a beating without being able to fight back.
Otherwise, maybe if I couldn't hold it back and punched Lu Zigao to death in a fit of anger, the consequences would be really unendurable.
Yan Wan didn't say anything else, she did everything she could.
After the disciples are divided into groups, each Dan Hall elder will lead almost seven or eight people into the Medicine Valley.
In this way, the elders of the Alchemy Hall can also take care of every disciple in the team, and will not lose sight of one thing because there are too many people in the team.
This grouping also takes security issues into great consideration.
"Okay, now that the groups are completed, I will lead you to the entrance of the valley. In the next half month, the elders of the Dan Hall will lead you to search in the Medicine Valley. As for what medicinal materials you can find, it all depends on your luck..."
Elder Situ gently stroked his long beard and said.
Afterwards, everyone, led by the Lord of Beiliang City, came to a gentle slope at Yaogukou.
At this time, many people have arrived, ready to enter the valley to find the elixir.
On the opposite slope, two or three kilometers away from here, there is a group of people as densely packed as ants.
"It seems that there are a lot of people coming to Beishan Medicine Valley to collect elixirs this year!"
Elder Situ sighed after taking a look.
"Well, opposite is the boundary of Fenggu City. Judging from the number of people, it is estimated that there are about 10,000 people. Every year, the number of people who enter Beishan Medicine Valley is 20,000. However, almost every year, more than 1,000 people disappear in Medicine Valley. In the valley, the reason is unknown..."
Beiliang Mo Xiong said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"If it's just outside the Medicine Valley, there shouldn't be any danger."
Seeing that the disciples behind him looked nervous after hearing this, Beiliang Moxiong immediately added.
"Everyone, I am here to wait for your triumphant return. I wish you all a fruitful return in advance. Go..."
After some encouragement from Elder Situ, the elders led their respective groups of disciples down the slope in an orderly manner and entered the valley entrance.
"Dear Alchemy Hall disciples, I am the leader of this group: Ming Zishan. You can call me 'Ming Lao'. In the next half month, I will lead you into the Medicine Valley. You must follow me closely..."
An elder in white robes walking in front of the team paused, briefly introduced himself, and then took out a talisman bag from the spiritual ring.
"Next, I will distribute a poison-avoiding pill to each person. This pill should be taken every three days, so after entering the medicine valley, everyone must follow me closely and don't get separated."
Ming Zishan took out the pills and distributed them while explaining.
Qiye took the pill, glanced at the cherry-sized green pill, then threw it into his mouth and swallowed it without caring.
Although this poison-avoiding pill felt like an ordinary pill and was not as good as the second-grade detoxifying pill that he had taken beforehand, he still swallowed it in front of the elder in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
"Okay, let's go into the valley next, everyone, follow closely!"
Seeing everyone taking the poison-avoiding pills, Ming Zishan waved one hand without saying anything and led the disciples into the medicine valley.
Qiye glanced at the teams next to him, and after taking the poison-avoiding pills, they all walked into the medicine valley one after another.
One of the team members, Lu Zigao, sensed Qiye's eyes and smiled playfully.
Seeing Lu Zigao's smile, Qiye turned his head, and a conspiratorial smile gradually emerged.
Good luck……
He suddenly prayed in his heart
Walking into the Medicine Valley, what is in front of you is a lush vegetation like a virgin forest, with lush vegetation and thorns.
There are still traces of white mist floating in the jungle. These fogs that persist all year round block the spiritual detection of spiritual practitioners. Therefore, when entering the forest, it is impossible to know what is behind the woods in front of them.
Mingzishan took out the map of the valley he had prepared in advance and made some actual comparisons according to the selected route.
"Everyone, follow up!" With an urging, Ming Zishan continued to move forward.
Upon hearing his order, the Dantong disciples following behind him looked around blankly and sped up their pace with some trepidation.
Qiye, who was at the end of the team, looked at these Dantong disciples who looked anxious and uneasy from the moment they entered the valley, and couldn't help but want to laugh:
As expected, he was an alchemist who grew up in a greenhouse. He was used to using clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth for elixirs. He had no idea of the hardships and risks involved in collecting these elixirs.
Fortunately, there are professional herb collectors in this world who specialize in this industry and can help alchemists collect elixirs.
In this way, alchemists are also spared the fearful, time-consuming and laborious process of collecting herbs.
However, the behavior of one person in the crowd surprised Qiye.
That's Senior Sister Yan
Yan Wan, who was following the elder, didn't seem to have that timid nervousness on her face. Instead, her eyes were focused and serious on searching for medicinal materials in the jungle.
Since entering the Medicine Valley, Qiye has secretly emitted hundreds of soul spider threads from his back to detect every plant and tree within a hundred meters.
On the way in, he actually detected a few elixir plants in the lush grass:
There are ordinary herbal medicines and some elixirs...
However, these Qiye did not take action and pretended not to notice.
After all, those medicinal materials are so secretly hidden that if you don't step forward and dig open the covering of low bushes, you won't be able to find them even if you pass by them.
In this environment where his consciousness was blocked, he didn't want his ability to find medicine to be too outstanding.
Fortunately, because his consciousness was blocked, Ming Zishan, who was walking in front, could not detect the soul spider threads emitted by Qiye at all, let alone those disciples.
Therefore, Qiye boldly extended the spider silk 200 meters, 300 meters, 400 meters...
When it was about to extend to 500 meters, a certain spider thread trembled slightly.
Even the slightest touch is keenly noticed by the souls in the spiritual world.
Following the trembling spider thread, Qiye focused his consciousness.
Hey, it's a first-order monster: the Grass Snake.
I saw a thin snake more than 5 meters long and finger-width wrapped around a tree trunk. It was fishing with a pink triangle on its head, waiting for an opportunity to find passing prey.
Although the poison of the Herbaceous Snake is not fatal, it is only first-level poisonous.
But getting bitten is not a bad thing, and the most amazing thing about the wild snake is its speed.
Its slender snake body moves through the grass like a shuttle, as if it is flying on the grass.
At full speed, not even the "Battle Ax Level Initial Level 1" monk could catch up.
Therefore, even though the strength of the first-level monster, the Herbaceous Snake, is only equivalent to the level of primary spiritual cultivation, the speed at which it comes and goes without a trace makes many people reluctant to provoke it.
"Forget it, let's just ignore it."
Qiye slowly retracted the spider silk and controlled the detection range to within 200 meters.
Within this distance, if there is any disturbance or monster attack, he can detect it in time and have sufficient preparation time.
And maintaining detection at this distance can also reduce the burden on your soul power.
If it's too far, it's not necessary.
Turning his head, Qiye saw Elder Ming walking forward with a sheepskin map.
He recalled the map route provided by Elder Hong Yan in his mind, and it seemed that there was a cave forest in front of this road...
