Beishan Medicine Valley and Cave Forest
"Elder, since this coniferous forest is a poisonous gas forest, how can we enter it to collect elixirs?"
Yan Wan, who was silent on the side, spoke.
When she said this, the surrounding disciples all agreed and looked at Ming Zishan with doubts on their faces.
"Actually, this forest is not inaccessible, it's just that spiritual practitioners below the war level cannot enter. When the strength reaches the war level, one can externalize the spiritual power to form a shield to block the poisonous gas.
Just the spiritual shield will also weaken with the corrosion of poisonous gas. Therefore, if you want to enter the poisonous coniferous forest, you must race against time..."
Ming Zishan explained while wiping the black stains on the sword blade.
After hearing what he said, the disciples finally understood:
It turns out that only people above the war level can enter this forest, and there is a time limit for entry.
Depending on the strength of your own spiritual power, the time may be long or short.
Some people who are quick-thinking have already guessed the purpose of the elder bringing them here...
Ming Zishan looked at the people behind him. Except for Ah Qi, whose strength did not reach the war level, the other six people were all at the first level of the early war level.
"Based on your strength, you can enter for about 3 minutes at the first level of the initial war level.
You must come out within 3 minutes, otherwise you risk death from poisoning. "
Ming Zishan looked at several disciples with war-level strength and spoke in a serious tone.
"Don't you think...the elder will help us collect the elixir?"
A female disciple clenched her fingers nervously and asked weakly.
Her soft and feeble words make people feel very delicate, like a gentle and pitiful kitten, which makes people feel loving and pitiful.
Qiye looked at the timid and weak female disciple:
Pure, quiet and beautiful for twenty years, her delicate and curved willow eyebrows decorate her bright and crystal clear eyes, her beautiful nose and small pink mouth make people unable to bear to take a peck at her.
Anyone who sees such a frail woman with a beautiful face and slender body will have a strong desire to protect her.
I remember her name was "Shang Qian"
When Qiye first saw her in the group, he didn't pay much attention to her along the way, except for her pretty appearance.
On the other hand, the two followers around Jiang Cai walked around her, acting as protectors.
"Haha, I'm just your internship leader, and I'm only responsible for protecting your basic safety.
As for collecting elixirs, it is not within the scope of the leader's responsibilities. Moreover, the quantity and quality of the elixir collected this time will also be recorded in your performance assessment. "
Ming Zishan said lightly with a smile, a look of anticipation on his face, as if he was curious about how well these disciples could perform.
"What, there's still an assessment?"
Some disciples were dumbfounded.
However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand:
After becoming a first-level alchemist, the alchemy hall will no longer treat all disciples equally.
Only those disciples with high talent in alchemy and outstanding performance can be vigorously cultivated by the alchemy hall.
After all, cultivating a high-level alchemist is also a hugely expensive project.
Naturally, for the long-term interests of the sect, the sect will only invest its superior resources into real talents.
Therefore, the performance assessment between fellow sects is actually the competition for sect status in the future.
“Well, that’s all I can say, the rest is up to you.
However, here is a final reminder:
Before entering, lock the location of the elixir first, and then go in and dig. After all, you don’t have much time inside..."
After Ming Zishan finished speaking meaningfully, he retreated silently.
Next, he wanted to see what these disciples would do, as if they were letting it go.
"Since the elder said so, we have to rely on ourselves!"
As soon as Ming Zishan let go, Jiang Cai was the first to stand up and speak, looking as if he was the central figure in the team.
"Brother Jiang, tell me what to do, and we will follow you!"
The two male disciples also followed suit, but he followed suit.
"Junior sister Yan, why don't you come with us?"
Jiang Cai turned his head and invited.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for your kindness. I'd better go with the other two sisters."
Yan Wan declined politely.
"Forget it, I won't force it. Zhang Li, you are responsible for searching this area, Wang Xiu, you are responsible for this area..."
After being rejected, Jiang Cai was polite on the outside, but felt a little unhappy inside.
So, he simply gave orders decisively and arranged the specific affairs of the two people.
"Junior sister Yan, what should we do?"
On the other side, Shang Qian and others gathered around Yan Wan and asked.
Although Yan Wan is a few years younger than them, they all know very well:
Yan Wan is a genius disciple in the hearts of the elders, and his future achievements are limitless.
Naturally, I took the initiative to ask for her opinion.
"I will be responsible for the search. I will only trouble you about collecting the medicine. I will tell you as soon as I find the elixir."
Yan Wan was not pretentious and spoke clearly and carefully.
Although she has an unspeakable identity, she is not an aloof person, and she will not be so arrogant that she wants to rely on her own strength to complete it alone.
"Ah Qi, why don't you come with us? Then we can collect some of the elixir and share it with you."
Yan Wan looked at Qiye, who was leaning at the entrance of the cave with a carefree expression, and invited.
And the reason why she invited them was because she discovered the spider web trap in the previous seven nights and helped everyone avoid potential dangers, which made her very grateful.
"Um...then...thank you, Senior Sister Yan."
Qiye, who was resting against the rock wall, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Yan Wan would take the initiative to invite him.
Then, nodded.
Qiye is also very friendly towards Yan Wan. After all, this senior sister does not have such cold eyes towards her.
After a brief grouping, the disciples stood at the entrance of the cave and carefully examined the traces of elixirs in the coniferous forest.
Although the entire cave forest is full of poisonous gas, no vegetation grows, no birds and animals exist.
However, Elder Mingzishan also said:
Any medicinal materials that can grow in this environment must have detoxifying effects and can be used to refine detoxifying pills.
In addition, there is no fog in the forest, so everything can be seen clearly at a glance.
The first level of the early war level already has the ability to detect spiritual senses, but the detection distance is only a short 50 meters.
As a result, the distance detected by spiritual consciousness is not as long as the distance seen by naked eyes.
However, in some cases, naked eye inspection will encounter the situation of "a blind eye", but spiritual detection does not have this drawback.
Everyone looked at it for a long time, even if they could see through it with both eyes.
In the forest, there were only black stones and stones, not even a hint of green.
And further away, it was completely blocked by the dense coniferous forest, making it impossible to see or detect it.
"Haha! I found it!"
Suddenly, Jiang Cai laughed excitedly.
"Wen Tai, in the right Gengshi direction, 100 steps away."
In his excitement, he couldn't wait to pass the message to one of them.
"Okay!"
The male disciple named Wen Tai rubbed his hands, grinned, and rushed out with all his spiritual power in defense, heading in the direction of two-thirty.
"What should we do? They have already made a discovery. We..."
Shang Qian became a little anxious after watching Jiang Cai's group make moves.
"Don't be anxious, take your time..."
Yan Wan comforted her calmly.
Although she looked relatively calm on the surface, her clenched fingers still revealed her inner uneasiness.
There are not many places in this forest that can be seen with the naked eye. If Jiang Cai and the others take the lead again, his team will undoubtedly gain even less.
"Direction of Dingshi, 80 steps away..."
Qiye glanced at it from the corner of his eye and muttered in a low voice.
Hearing the location he reported, Yan Wan and the other two were slightly stunned:
What Qiye said was right in front of them, at about 1:30.
However, it was obscured by a few coniferous trees, making it difficult to discern what was behind it.
Qiye said nothing more and waited quietly. If they didn't believe it, just pretend that he didn't say anything.
Yan Wan looked at Qiye's indifferent expression. For some reason, she chose to believe it, and nodded in agreement with the two senior sisters.
"I come!"
One of the women, who was well dressed and had a ponytail, immediately asked for help.
Qiye looked at him with some admiration:
The woman is in her twenties and has a graceful figure.
This kind of beauty is not the kind of soft and feeble beauty, but the heroic beauty.
The tight concave and convex feeling seems to contain the surging strength of the whole body.
Although the woman's appearance is not very eye-catching, it still has a natural and unadorned appearance that is very attractive.
Her movements are free and easy, without any pretense, giving people the image of a heroic and heroic heroine.
Qiye remembered her as "Gao Yi". She was also one of the female disciples in the alchemy room who was highly valued by the elders. She was very popular among the disciples.
"Be careful, Senior Sister Gao." Yan Wan solemnly warned
Without saying a word, Gaoyi immediately rushed out with full spiritual power and quickly disappeared behind the coniferous forest.
"Haha, you are a junior guy who doesn't even have spiritual consciousness, but you are really good at guessing. Haha..."
Jiang Cai mocked very openly.
Qiye shrugged noncommittally, without any excuse.
He was too lazy to argue with this self-righteous Jiang Cai. He was not interested and felt it was pointless.
"Huh, behind that coniferous forest, even our spiritual senses can't detect it. How do you know there's something behind it?"
Seeing that Qiye ignored him completely, Jiang Cai asked angrily.
While he was speaking, Wen Tai, who had been sent out earlier, had already run back.
He was holding a finger-sized herb in his hand, which looked like a delicate mimosa.
"Seven steps of shyness, a first-class detoxifying elixir that can detoxify second-class toxins. Judging from this age, it should be a 'herb' that is only two or three years old, and it can be worth three or four spiritual stones."
Ming Zishan, who was quietly observing the performance of his disciples, suddenly said.
Qiye glanced at the medicinal materials in Wen Tai's hand, and then continued to stare at the coniferous forest that Gao Yi penetrated.
"Hmph, brat, I want to see what kind of eggs you can find!"
When Jiang Cai was proud, he saw his disdainful look and said very angrily.
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the coniferous forest that everyone was paying attention to.
Immediately, Gaoyi rushed out.
When she came out, everyone saw that her face was full of excitement and she was holding a three-foot-long elixir tightly in her hand.
"Seven steps shy. Judging from the age, it should be a 'herbal medicine' that is at least thirty years old and can be worth seventy or eighty spiritual stones."
Mingzishan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qiye to find such an old herb.
Although there was no fog blocking his consciousness in this cave forest, the corrosive poisonous gas permeated the forest, and even he was unwilling to expend his consciousness to search for a long time for fear of being contaminated.
Could this Ah Qi really be able to discover the medicinal materials behind the coniferous forest with her eyesight alone?
The more Ming Zishan thought about it, the weirder he got. The longer he was in contact with Qiye, the more doubtful he became. Looking at Ah Qi’s young back, he fell into thinking...
"H-How did you find out!?"
Jiang Cai asked in shock, he really didn't know what to say.
This kid is so evil.
Can see through the fog to discover monster hunting traps; can penetrate the woods and discover the medicinal materials behind it...
Is this a special skill that an outer disciple can possess?
"Just a guess."
Qiye scratched the back of his head jokingly, pretending to be honest and honest.
But anyone can hear the perfunctoriness in it.
Listening to his serious nonsense, Jiang Cai couldn't help but vomit blood: Only a ghost can believe it!
