Beishan Medicine Valley and Cave Forest
When the "hundred-year elixir" came out of Qiye's mouth, everyone fell silent.
Jiang Cai's eyes brightened with surprise:
You know, even if it is a century-old elixir of first-class elixir, its efficacy is several times that of ordinary herbs.
Even if you take it outside, you can sell it for thousands of low-grade spiritual stones...
Yan Wan and others never expected that Qiye would give up such a valuable elixir.
After hearing this, Mingzishan, who had been leaning against the rock wall from the beginning and staying out of the incident, finally couldn't sit still and stepped forward, wanting to take action himself.
Since it is dangerous for these young disciples to collect herbs, it is up to the elder to lead them, and he does not mind helping them once.
After all, that is a century-old elixir!
What's more, there aren't many immortal medicines in the sect.
If Elder Situ of Dantang knew that his team actually gave up a fairy medicine, I am afraid that he, the leader, would not be able to escape the blame.
"Well... Elder Ming, you said before that you are only responsible for our safety and will not interfere with the collection of herbs. Right?"
Qiye saw Mingzishan's intention to take action and quickly spoke.
On the surface, he seemed to be asking, but it seemed more like he was reminding the elder:
Don't step outside the line.
"Uh... ahem, this, emergency matters...
Since you are unable to collect, you have all given up. Then I have no choice but to let this elder come. This is not considered breaking the rules. "
Ming Zishan was slightly startled.
He did not expect that Qiye would come out to stop him at this time.
Then he immediately stopped, looked at Ah Qi meaningfully, and said righteously.
"Well, what the elder said is good.
However, our team just gave up, but Senior Brother Jiang and the others did not give up.
I believe that with Senior Brother Jiang’s strength, picking up this century-old elixir is like picking something out of a bag and he will not disappoint everyone.
You said that, right? Senior Brother Jiang..."
Qiye smiled slightly
Looking at Jiang Cai who was having trouble making a decision, he deliberately raised his voice and said.
However, anyone who understands can hear the intended meaning of these words.
At this moment, Ming Zishan finally understood:
It turned out that Ah Qi didn't mean to stop him, but wanted to induce Jiang Cai to collect this elixir.
But his method of provoking generals is very clumsy, and anyone with a discerning eye can see through it at a glance.
Will Jiang Cai really be fooled by this?
He was very confused
However, Ah Qi was indeed right about one thing:
Only their team has given up, and Jiang Cai's team has not yet made a final statement.
so……
With a trace of doubt, Ming Zishan looked at Jiang Cai, waiting for his final answer.
If Jiang Cai wisely refused, he could take action naturally.
"Humph, of course!"
To Ming Zishan's surprise, Jiang Cai actually admitted it.
In fact, Jiang Cai felt aggrieved:
In the front, Qiye deliberately promoted himself, just to make himself embarrassed and admit that he was cowardly.
If I really get cold feet, I will undoubtedly be embarrassed in front of girls and my younger brother.
Just imagine: If he is frightened by an outer disciple who is a handyman in the alchemy hall, how will he be able to gain a foothold in the alchemy hall in the future.
Therefore, he was hovering on the edge of hesitation, he immediately became cruel and gritted his teeth and said simply.
He has been too depressed all this time:
There is nothing he can do compared to an outer disciple.
Nothing hurts self-esteem more than this.
Now that Ah Qi has praised him so highly, Jiang Cai, who has always been proud and arrogant, will naturally not let himself show timidity in front of everyone.
In order to prove oneself and save face, one has to fight even if it involves swords and fire.
Moreover, although the time for collecting herbs this time is very tight, it is not impossible to succeed:
If you become successful, you can do something that others cannot do.
Wouldn't it be possible to show off in front of Yan Wan, suppress Ah Qi's limelight, and let her see who is the real person with strength?
With this idea of "in case of success", Jiang Cai stepped forward with a solemn expression and came to the entrance of the cave.
He began to adjust his breath with spiritual power, move his finger bones... and made a series of sufficient preparations, but he did not dare to overdo it.
While his mind was heating up and he was making preparations, Ming Zishan couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
Still too young after all...
However, although Jiang Cai is young and energetic, it does not mean that he is stupid. He understands:
A small movement that is not smooth may lead to failure.
In this forest full of colorless and odorless corrosive poison gas, if you can't get back within 3 minutes, you will be poisoned or killed.
However, losing one's life is not a big deal.
After all, there is Elder Mingzishan in the team. If he is in danger, the elder will definitely come to his rescue.
This is also the reason why he dares to give it a try: he has the strength to rescue him.
Ming Zishan, who originally planned to take action personally, saw Jiang Cai's eagerness to try, so he had to hold back for the time being and wait and see what would happen.
Fortunately, the distance for collecting herbs is not far away. If Jiang Cai is in danger, it will not be too late for him to save him.
Turning his head, Ming Zishan looked at Ah Qi here.
I saw Qiye looking at Jiang Cai with a smile on his face, and a trace of amusement in his eyes, as if he could predict that Jiang Cai would definitely give it a try.
Seeing this scene, Ming Zishan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart:
This kid is not simple.
Looking back, when the group met Ah Qi for the first time, Ming Zishan didn't pay too much attention.
A junior first-level outer sect disciple who was only eight years old accompanied the inner sect Alchemy Hall disciples to the Great Medicine Valley in Beishan. He was just helping out, doing chores, and what else could he do.
However, this new disciple with an ordinary appearance and no trace of talent and handsomeness constantly refreshed his understanding along the way:
First, they discovered a tarantula trap hidden by fog, and now they discovered a century-old elixir hidden by coniferous forest...
A junior disciple,
How come you have such talent?
Who is this Ah Qi?
Ming Zishan silently asked...
"Hmph, Junior Brother Ah Qi, just wait and see!"
After the warm-up was completed, Jiang Cai reminded him in a serious tone.
"No, Senior Brother Jiang, it's too dangerous..."
Yan Wan reminded kindly.
"I've made up my mind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of "咻~" and he shot out like an arrow from a string.
Seeing this, everyone gathered around to watch eagerly.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Jiang can succeed?"
Shang Qian said worriedly.
Although Jiang Cai himself dislikes him very much, he is still a senior fellow student in the same sect, and he also studies alchemy, so he cannot help but worry because he is from the same sect.
"Brother Jiang will definitely succeed, just wait and see!"
Wang Xiu and Zhang Li said confidently.
When Qiye heard this, he just smiled silently and did not say anything. As for the ending, he could already predict it in his heart, but he didn't say it in a fussy way.
On the other side, Ming Zishan stood upright behind everyone.
He gently stroked his beard and watched Jiang Cai disappear into the forest.
He frowned slightly, there was no problem from when Jiang Cai just started to getting into the forest, but why did he feel inexplicably uneasy in his heart.
Thinking of this, Mingzishan looked at Qiye again. Seeing him watching the fun with a calm face, he didn't find anything suspicious.
Time passed in such quiet waiting...
30 seconds...60 seconds...90 seconds...150 seconds...
While everyone was waiting anxiously, there were 10 seconds left.
Suddenly, the coniferous forest moved, "Whoosh!" A figure quickly jumped out and rushed towards this side.
Taking a closer look, it was Jiang Cai who had disappeared into the forest before.
His hands were dripping with blood, and he was holding a thin vine tightly. There was no trace of pain on his face, but instead he was filled with excitement.
Elder Mingzishan frowned and looked closely at the vine, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"It's a second-grade elixir, Red Blood Vine!"
As soon as the words came out, all the disciples were in an uproar.
A second-grade elixir, and a century-old elixir-quality red blood vine, is worth at least 10,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to the monthly income of a middle-class family.
"Haha, I believe Brother Jiang will not let us down!"
Wang Xiuchang laughed happily.
However, he was not happy for long, and then the laughter suddenly stopped.
When Jiang Cai flew 100 steps away from the cave entrance, the spiritual energy shield covering his whole body suddenly dissipated no longer able to hold up, and his whole body was exposed to the corrosive poisonous gas.
"Sizzling~" Like charcoal fire grilling meat, wisps of black smoke came out of his skin.
The shiny and rosy skin was instantly burnt black by the corrosive poisonous gas. The poisonous gas continued to penetrate deep into the body, as if it was corroding the body until no bones remained.
"Ahhhh~"
Jiang Cai, who was still looking happy, was unexpectedly exposed to the corrosive gas. His face changed drastically, and he was rolling on the ground in pain, screaming...
"not good!"
Seeing this, Ming Zishan activated the spiritual shield and fired the bullet.
The disciple could not wait to save him when he was in danger. In the blink of an eye, he was a hundred steps away and reached Jiang Cai with two quick steps.
After arriving, without saying a word, Ming Zishan stretched out his spiritual energy shield and included Jiang Cai.
Then he grabbed him while he was still rolling on the ground and quickly retreated into the cave.
Back in the cave, safe for now.
Mingzi Mountain places people lying on smooth rocks.
The disciples also watched with great concern, but when they saw Jiang Cai's injury, they all sympathized:
In just four or five breaths, Jiang Cai was burned beyond recognition by the corrosive poisonous gas, and there was not a single intact skin on his body.
The robe and flesh were stuck together and could not be peeled off.
Looking at his face again, even if Jiang Cai covered his face with his hands at that time, he could not stop the corrosive gas from penetrating all the way. His entire face was burned black and eroded, and he could not look human at all.
Fortunately, the rescue was very timely, and the injury was only on the surface of the skin, and his life was safe.
If the distance is too far, it would be hard to say if rescue cannot be reached within a short period of time.
However, the intense pain also caused Jiang Cai to fall into a coma, but he still held the red blood vine tightly in his hand.
"Hey, young man, why do you have to be so strong..."
Ming Zishan sighed and couldn't bear to blame him.
He also took out several bottles of medicinal liquid from the talisman bag. Apply the warm and viscous liquid evenly all over Jiang Cai's body, covering every inch of Jiang Cai's burnt, eroded skin.
After the liquid was applied, two more pills were thrown into Jiang Cai's mouth. After all this was done.
Ming Zishan carefully put away the red blood vine tightly in Jiang Cai's hand and stood up.
"Elder, is Senior Brother Jiang okay?"
Yan Wan asked with concern.
"There is no danger of life, but the skin on the whole body has been completely corroded. I am afraid it will take a month to recover. You can go find a stretcher and send Jiang Cai back. He can no longer participate in training like this..."
Ming Zishan glanced at Jiang Cai, who was lying on the ground unconscious, and said slowly.
"Damn it! That kid Ah Qi did it all on purpose. If he hadn't started the trouble, how could Brother Jiang be like this!"
Wang Xiu, Zhang Li and the others became angrier as they talked. They rolled up their sleeves and looked like they were about to go forward to settle the score with Qiye.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Wan stood in front of the two of them and stopped them.
"Junior Sister Yan, get out of the way. We are just settling a score with that boy Ah Qi, there is no need for you to get involved."
When the two of them saw Yan Wan standing up, they were a little concerned.
Considering Yan Wan's status in the hearts of the Dantang elders, they naturally did not dare to take action against Yan Wan.
