Beishan Medicine Valley and Cave Forest
Yan Wan was also very surprised when she saw Gao Yi holding a foot-long elixir in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Qiye could really find such an old herb. Overjoyed, he couldn't help but admire him even more:
Even though Ah Qizi is short and weak, his strength is only at the elementary level.
But his eyesight is really good, and he can detect elixirs that even war-level monks cannot detect. How can anyone underestimate his ability?
"You are amazing, Ah Qi!"
Next to him, Shang Qian clapped his hands in surprise and praised.
"No, senior sister is laughing at me, it's just that I have better eyesight."
Qi Yehan smiled and scratched his head and said modestly.
Although he said so, Ming Zishan and Yan Wan on the side did not naively think that this was something they could detect with good eyesight.
"Hmph, don't think you'll just stick your tail up when you find some magic medicine. Let's just wait and see!"
On the other side, Jiang Cai became jealous when he saw Qiye being so favored by girls.
"Okay, ignore him, let's continue."
At this time, Yan Wan quickly interrupted. In her opinion:
Jiang Cai is very unpopular with girls. Not only is he narrow-minded, he is also obsessed with saving face and is unwilling to admit that others are better than him.
"Ah Qi, where should we go next?"
Gao Yi has already put away the medicinal ingredients, looking eagerly awaiting and obeying orders.
Now, in her opinion, the little junior brother in front of her was an extraordinary being.
"Sister, don't worry, let me take a closer look..."
Qiye turned his head and looked at the coniferous forest seriously.
In fact, he already knew the hidden elixirs in the coniferous forest.
As early as when Mingzi Mountain asked the disciples to find the elixir on their own, Qiye had already quietly detected more than a dozen soul spider threads and scanned every plant and tree within a hundred meters.
Therefore, he knew the specific location of the elixir at a glance.
The reason for pretending to look carefully is just to wait a little longer, to give some buffer time to find the next target, and to deceive others.
After all, anyone would become suspicious if hidden herbs were discovered one after another.
After hearing what Qi Ye said, Shang Qian and Gao Yi consciously waited aside, as if they were afraid of being disturbed.
Although they are more than ten years older than Qiye, Junior Brother Ah Qi, who is only eight years old, looks like an ignorant little kid to ordinary people.
But at this moment, Qiye behaves like a leader-like little brother in their eyes.
Yan Wan, on the other hand, was watching Qi Ye's every move with concentration. She was extremely curious about Ah Qi's ability to discover the elixir behind the coniferous forest with just her eyesight:
I saw Qiye's eyes looking straight ahead, staring intently without blinking for a long time.
Occasionally, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if making a final precise lock.
Suddenly, my whole body relaxed again, and I took a deep breath, as if I had ended some kind of energy-consuming exam...
Various behaviors are difficult to fathom.
Even Ming Zishan couldn't see clearly, so he held his short beard and thought carefully.
"how is it going?"
Seeing that Qiye had finished searching, Shang Qian hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Left C direction, 90 steps away."
Qiye grinned, confident.
"I go."
After Gao Yi said a word as usual, he started to use his spiritual power and rushed out, heading towards the 11:30 position.
It was obscured by a few short conifer trees and the terrain was undulating, making it impossible to see behind it.
"Hmph, I want to see if you can still find it this time!"
Jiang Cai, who was searching to no avail, snorted slightly and said somewhat unconvinced.
As for the fact that Qiye discovered the elixir with his eyesight, he attributed it to the blind cat hitting the dead mouse and good luck.
Jiang Caike didn't believe that Qiye's eyesight could be so good that he couldn't match his spiritual consciousness. This was simply ridiculous.
"Yes, Brother Jiang, they were just lucky last time. I don't believe that brat Ah Qi is so lucky this time."
Zhang Li and Wang Xiu also shared the same hatred.
Ah Qi's favor made them feel sour in their hearts and they wanted to step on her.
Qiye, on the other hand, seemed not to hear what they were saying, and was concentrating on the coniferous forest where Gaoyi disappeared.
After a while, the coniferous forest suddenly shook, and Gao Yi jumped out.
Two hands carefully held a green seedling. Due to the distance and the obstruction of Gaoyi's hand, no one could see clearly.
Only when Gaoyi successfully returned to the cave did they see the elixir clearly:
Like an orchid, it is a green seedling, soft and delicate, calmly spreading its three-petal leaves. In the middle of the leaves, there is a crystal-clear and bright red fruit like a pomegranate.
"This is the third-grade elixir: the three-leaf snake fruit. It should only be available for one or two years this year. The three-leaf snake fruit can dissolve the toxins of all second-level snake monsters.
If it reaches the quality of the '100-year elixir', it can detoxify third-level poisonous snakes. Unexpectedly, I could find a third-level elixir in this coniferous forest this time. Not bad, not bad..."
Ming Zishan identified the elixir and explained it, and was very satisfied with this harvest.
Now, they can find a third-level elixir just outside the Medicine Valley, which is a very rich harvest.
"Great! We found the third-grade elixir!"
Hearing what the elder said, Shang Qian was so happy that she almost jumped up with excitement.
A third-grade elixir would cost thousands of lower-grade spiritual stones if placed outside. Moreover, this three-leaf snake fruit is still in the seedling stage. If it can be cultivated, it will definitely cost more than a few thousand spiritual stones.
"However...it's a pity that several of the roots of this seedling have been broken. The efficacy of the medicine may be affected, and the value will probably be greatly reduced..."
While Shang Qian was happy, Ming Zishan noticed the damage at the root of the elixir and smacked his lips with regret.
In fact, the moment Gaoyi just opened his palm, Qiye noticed with sharp eyes that several roots of this trifoliate snake fruit were broken, which must have been caused by the rush during digging.
After all, it is indeed quite difficult for these disciples who focus on alchemy all day long to produce a complete elixir in just three minutes.
Qiye didn't want to pour cold water on others' happiness, so he didn't say anything.
"Forehead……"
At this time, Ming Zishan clicked out, Shang Qian's cheers suddenly stopped, Gaoyi's hands were in mid-air, at a loss.
She looked towards Qiye unconsciously and said with some guilt:
"I'm sorry, that...me."
Holding the three-leaf snake fruit, she felt quite guilty.
Unexpectedly, due to my carelessness, I damaged a third-grade elixir. This kind of loss is not considered light even in the sect.
Although she does not rely on herself to be arrogant, she is very confident in herself.
Because of this, she dared to take the lead in collecting the elixir.
"It's okay, senior sister. People are bound to make mistakes. Even skilled herb collectors occasionally accidentally damage the elixir..."
To Gaoyi's surprise, Qiye was not angry, but explained calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Hmph! To put it lightly, even the Dantong disciples cannot afford to lose a third-grade elixir."
Jiang Cai, who was watching with cold eyes, sarcastically said inappropriately.
"Don't worry, senior sister. This is just an experience. There are other elixirs in this medicine valley, so losing one is nothing."
I’m worried that Senior Sister Gao will carry a heavy burden on her back.
Qiye glanced at the annoying Jiang Cai and said a few words lightly, not seeming to take it to heart at all.
"Trials come with various situations, and losses are inevitable."
Ming Zishan also gave timely guidance.
Despite what the elder said, Gao Yi still had some lingering feelings.
After putting away the elixir, he waited in silence.
Alas~
Qiye glanced at Senior Sister Gao who was sinking in self-blame, sighed and continued to look for the elixir.
…
In the next period of time, he discovered three or four elixirs in succession, and Yan Wan took action to successfully retrieve them.
With the previous mistakes, there has never been another incident of digging up the elixir.
On the other side, Jiang Cai's team of three found nothing after getting the elixir for the first time. The three of them looked at Qiye's busy work with great jealousy, and gritted their teeth with hatred in their hearts.
…………
For a long moment, Qiye, who looked attentive, turned his head slightly.
Seeing this, the three senior sisters quickly gathered around. Seeing Qiye's silent face, they asked with concern:
"How is it? Ah Qi..."
"I found one, but it's dangerous. I don't recommend picking it..."
Qiye said calmly and truthfully.
"Well, since you say so, then we believe you."
Seeing that Qiye said this, the three of them also agreed with great trust.
They no longer had any contempt for this junior brother, but instead respected them more. Unknowingly, Qiye had become the backbone of the three of them.
"Since you don't have the ability to pick it, how about we do it? Ah Qi, where is the elixir?"
After Jiang Cai heard that Qiye was planning to give up, he suddenly became more motivated as he was worried about not gaining anything.
"Ah Qi, don't tell them."
Shang Qian quickly persuaded him that they didn't like Jiang Cai at all.
"Don't worry, that elixir is not that easy to harvest..."
Qiye smiled and expressed relief.
"Since you want to pick it up, I will tell you the location. We are all disciples of the same sect, so we should help each other. The location of the elixir is in the direction of Zuo Chenshi, 200 steps away..."
Qiye smiled generously.
But this smile revealed a hint of evil.
"Chenshi, 200 steps..."
Jiang Cai muttered the key information silently, then looked at the 10 o'clock position with solemn eyes:
There was no coniferous forest to cover it, but because it was too far away, there was a dense darkness deep in the forest, which was unpredictable and difficult to distinguish.
"Are you sure there is a magic potion there?"
He asked again with some worry.
It can be seen that after traveling back and forth for such a long distance, and excluding the time spent digging for medicinal materials, three minutes is really too short. If you really want to collect them, there will indeed be a lot of danger.
"Sure."
Qiye stared straight into the eyes, as calm as water, and anyone could hear the sincerity of these words.
"What elixir?"
In order to prevent Ah Qi from playing tricks on him, Jiang Cai made further confirmation.
After all, if such a risky thing is just a first-grade elixir with a very short vintage, there is no need to take risks.
"I'm not sure about the type of medicinal material, but if I read it correctly, it should be a 'hundred-year elixir'..."
Qiye rested his chin on his hand, pretending to be very serious.
When the words 'hundred-year elixir' blurted out, not only Jiang Cai and the others, but also the three senior sisters here and the elder Mingzishan were shocked.
