Chapter 323: Harvesting the Elixir
"What are we waiting for?"
Xuan Shanzi laughed and said, "It's not that easy to find the burial site. Let's go find those spiritual herbs first."
When talking about spiritual herbs, Xuan Shanzi's eyes burst into a brilliant light.
The Tianxuan Lingzong has been passed down for so long that it is naturally not comparable to those small sects. During this period, they entered the Corpse King Underground Palace many times, not only harvesting a lot, but also understanding at least half of the complex situation in the underground palace.
Some spiritual herbs have not grown to maturity and can only be picked later. They came in this time not only to obtain the Corpse King inheritance, but also the spiritual herbs inside.
The Corpse King inheritance is not very tempting to them, but those spiritual herbs are their real purpose.
It would be best to get the Corpse King inheritance, but it doesn't matter if you don't get it, but it can't be obtained by any party, especially the Corpse Demon Sect!
It would rather destroy this inheritance than let the Corpse Demon Sect get it.
It's enough to have one opponent, the Red Evil Palace, and they don't want to have another competitor.
The Red Evil Palace also thinks so.
Originally, this matter was a sure thing, but I didn't expect that the Corpse Demon Sect had to pay a price to invite the Xunshan Taoist from the Xunxian Sect. Although the other party was only in the Yunqi Realm, his strange and evil method was really a headache.
However, you have a ladder, and I have a plan. Dali Zishan was able to invite Xu Zhao, and Tianxuan Lingzong had a part in it.
"Hehe, two families against one family, if this can't be stopped, then it's really a waste." Xuanshanzi laughed at himself and suppressed these thoughts.
"Junior brother, you take the two nephews to pick Shenglongzhi, and I'll pick the Fire Sea Golden Lotus." He looked at Xuanjianzi and said.
"Yes." Xuanjianzi nodded.
"Bai Yuan, Baili, if you two encounter immature spiritual medicines, be sure to write down the location and growth year." Xuanshanzi said solemnly with a solemn face.
"Yes, uncle." Baiyuan and Baili said in unison.
The Corpse King Underground Palace is not only a place of inheritance, but also a treasure land for the cultivation of spiritual medicines. Many precious and even extinct spiritual medicines outside may be found here.
And there is no need to worry about being destroyed.
······
"I didn't find the human goblin, but I found a lot of spiritual medicines." Shen Yuan put a fiery red tree into the jade box and sighed.
This is the ninth spiritual medicine he picked, called Fiery Apricot Jiaoshu. If you add those spiritual medicines that are not yet mature, there are almost seventeen. Anyway, it only comes once in a lifetime, no matter whether it is ripe or not, just pick it.
At worst, you can eat it as a 'snack'.
However, the most precious spiritual medicine picked is the Fire Sea Golden Lotus, and the rest of the spiritual medicines are inferior to it.
Along the way, he also encountered many fierce beasts, but they were all killed by his sword. Of course, there were also one or two fierce beasts comparable to the Yunqi Realm. He saw them from a distance and fled.
This cave is like a maze. Except for the different spiritual medicines growing in it, it is basically the same as the first cave. This also lets him know where he is now.
It should be the medicinal field of the Corpse King Underground Palace.
"I didn't expect to be so self-defeating and come directly to such an important place." Shen Yuan shook his head.
"Shh!"
He pulled out the Yin-Yang Soul-Slaying Knife that was inserted into a rat-like beast. After counting carefully, there were already seventeen faces, half of which were beasts and corpse puppets.
The only human face was provided by Du Hongxia. If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps the required "materials" can be collected.
"It's a pity that there is not enough space in the storage bag." Shen Yuan sighed as he looked at the beast's corpse. He had to leave some space for spiritual medicine and couldn't take all the beast's materials away.
He pulled out the most valuable teeth and claws, cut off a piece of meat from the essence, and threw the beast's corpse into the sea of fire.
"Now, which way should I go?" He was roasting meat with the help of the sea of fire, while looking at three passages that led to nowhere, and he had a headache.
The flames here were extremely hot, and soon the rat meat was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, with wisps of meaty aroma spreading.
"Well, it tastes pretty good." Shen Yuan took a bite and nodded with satisfaction.
Except for the taste being a little bland, there are no disadvantages.
After eating and drinking, he chose the passage on the left hand side, because the last cave was to the left hand side to come here.
The passages between each cave are at least three miles away, and the materials used to build the passages have sound insulation effects. No matter how fierce the battle in this cave is, the sound cannot be transmitted, so each cave is very quiet.
······
"Roar!"
A white ape covered with snow-white hair, with sharp fangs exposed and eyes full of anger, looked at the skinny "ferocious beast" in front of him.
If Shen Yuan was here, he would recognize this ferocious beast at a glance, it was the human Xiao he had been thinking about.
However, this human Xiao had clear eyes and a face covered with black hair, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
There was also a torn corpse lying next to it.
There was a wound the size of a human head on the abdomen of the white ape, and hot blood kept flowing out, dyeing the snow-white hair scarlet.
This wound was caused by the sneak attack of the human-man. Moreover, the white ape suffered such a serious injury, but the human-man still did not rush forward rashly, but kept paying attention to the surroundings. Obviously, the intelligence of this human-man was far superior to that of ordinary beasts.
As time passed, the white ape became weaker and weaker, and the anger in its eyes was gradually replaced by fear.
It also tried to escape, but as soon as it turned around, the human-man came forward to attack, obviously preparing to exhaust it to death.
Feeling that the white ape had completely lost its fighting power, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the human goblin, and the sharp stone spike in his hand shot out violently.
With a violent whistling sound, it pierced deeply into the head of the white ape.
The human goblin swallowed the heart of the white ape, then swallowed the elixir, turned around and entered the passage.
······
"Dang!"
Shen Yuan punched the chest of the corpse puppet, and the rolling air waves surged to the surroundings, and the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the cave.
The golden claws pierced the air and grabbed Shen Yuan's head.
Shen Yuan kicked the corpse puppet and his body retreated rapidly.
His face was slightly solemn. The corpse puppet in front of him was half gold and half silver. Although it had not yet transformed into a golden corpse, its body defense was comparable to that of a golden corpse. If divided by realm, it should be a half-step Qi Condensation Realm.
It was not very difficult to defeat it, but it was basically impossible to kill this corpse puppet.
"What a pity for this Burning Sun Vine." Shen Yuan thought for a moment and decided to give up. Without someone to hold the corpse puppet, it would be very difficult to pick this spiritual medicine.
Once he fell into the sea of fire below, he would basically die.
He wanted to leave, but the corpse puppet obviously didn't want him to leave easily and chased him relentlessly.
The man and the puppet punched each other, and with this force, Shen Yuan flew backwards into the passage.
