There is no calendar day in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold weather.
Yun Ling has been practicing in Xuanling Sect for six years and is now at the seventh level of Qi refining.
She has been in the seventh level of Qi Refining for a long time, and her body is overflowing with spiritual energy, but there is no sign of a breakthrough.
Then he received the sect's mission and went to Yuting Mountain to search for the Huocheng Fruit.
I plan to practice a little and look for opportunities for breakthrough.
Yuting Mountain is in the southwest of Xuanling Sect, not very far away.
To say it is a mountain, it is better to say it is a hilly mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
There are many low-level spiritual trees and spiritual grasses in the mountains. There is also a Jade River, which is rich in a kind of water jade that can assist the cultivation of water spiritual roots.
Xuanling Sect sends disciples to mine all year round.
There are very few monsters in the mountain, most of them are first level. As long as they don't go to the hinterland of the mountain, disciples above the sixth level of Qi Refining can easily deal with them on foot.
Therefore, Yuting Mountain is the favorite place for low-level Qi-refining disciples in the sect.
Luo Ninghuan is currently in seclusion and practicing hard.
It was said that Yun Ling was practicing too fast, so she had to look like a senior sister and vowed not to leave seclusion until she reached the eighth level of Qi refining.
She decided to go alone.
A hundred miles southwest of Yuting Mountain, there is a small depression.
Three years ago, she went out for training with her senior sisters from Tongfeng and discovered a piece of green grass here.
Qingyu grass is the main medicine for refining Bigu Pill. After they picked the ripe spiritual grass, many seedlings were left behind.
When Yun Ling arrived, these herbs had already grown and were blooming with green and white flowers, which were very beautiful.
No one got there first!
Happy to estimate the value of these spiritual herbs, Yun Ling looked at them as if looking at pieces of spiritual stones waving to her.
There is no way, she is too poor!
Luo Ninghuan receives donations from her family every year, but she is often short of money.
What's more, she is a disciple who has no support from her family elders and can only rely on the sect's material rewards to practice.
However, the higher the level of cultivation, the more pills are needed during cultivation.
So even if she is a true disciple and occasionally receives subsidies from her master and uncles, she is still very poor, extremely poor.
Cultivation is really a road that burns spiritual stones!
Yun Ling picked these mature green leaves and put them into a jade box. The jade box can ensure that the aura of the herbs will last for hundreds of years.
Just when she was considering whether to dig up the remaining seedlings and plant them, a monster rolled down in front of her with a loud "moo!" and crushed many seedlings.
This monster beast had numerous wounds all over its body, and its hair was soaked with bright red blood. It could still be vaguely distinguished as a white ox, with only half of its hard horns left. It looked very tragic.
The White Ginkgo is a first-level monster unique to Yuting Mountain. It is relatively peaceful and does not actively attack people. It mostly lives in groups.
At this moment, the cow was alone, covered in blood, and completely lifeless.
Soon, she had the answer.
A cloud-riding red wolf appeared beside the pit.
The Cloud-Taking Red Wolf paced slowly, and was about to enjoy his prey, when he discovered that there was another person in the pit.
A man and a wolf looked at each other with four eyes, both of them were stunned.
The next moment, each launched an attack.
Her luck is really not good.
The Cloud-Stepping Red Wolf is the most ferocious among the many monsters in Yuting Mountain.
And among the first-order monsters, its combat power is astonishing. It is the monster that the monks who come to Yuting Mountain least want to see.
It can shoot flaming arrows from its mouth, which is very powerful. If a monk accidentally gets hit by an arrow, he needs to wash it with spiritual water immediately, otherwise the wound of the fire spirit will spread, and the whole body will feel like being burned by fire.
Cloud-riding red wolves often appear in the deepest part of Yuting Mountain. I never thought that I would be bumped into by Yun Ling here.
The red wolf that stepped on the cloud howled, and aimed a flaming arrow at her from the wolf's mouth.
Yun Ling tiptoed, used the Swinging Step to fly out of the way, and fired a Sunda Wind Blade towards the Cloud-Taking Red Wolf.
Cloud-Taking Red Wolf jumped a few steps to the right to dodge, narrowed its red wolf eyes, and spit out three more flame arrows in succession.
She quickly took out her Yunluo Umbrella to block the attack, and threw a few water stasis charms at the wolf's body.
Then a Sunda Wind Blade sliced open the fiery red fur on the wolf's back, revealing the pink flesh inside.
"Ouch!"
The Cloud-Stepping Red Wolf was slightly injured. He howled and became more ferocious, staring at her with his wolf eyes.
Suddenly, it jumped up, and its huge body flew straight towards her!
Yun Ling never expected that this wolf had already reached the first level of Dzogchen cultivation.
Only cloud-walking red wolves with this level of cultivation can fly over small distances.
She couldn't dodge, and her arm was burned by the flames spitting out of the wolf's mouth, and she was immediately in pain.
In a panic, Yunluo Umbrella resisted dozens of slaps from the Cloud-Stepping Red Wolf, and the aura dimmed.
Yun Ling was afraid that it would be damaged, so she closed her umbrella and used the Swinging Step to retreat far away. She would retreat first!
At this time, the Cloud-Taking Red Wolf's eyes were red and he was chasing after him.
Swinging Step is a speed-walking technique recorded in Taiyan's Fu Feng Jue. It takes advantage of the fast movement of the wind spirit root's spiritual power. The more advanced it is, the more flexible the footwork will be, and the faster it will be for short-distance running.
Since she advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining and learned this step, she has been studying in the back mountain every day and has never slackened off.
This is also the reason why Taoyun Red Wolf couldn't catch up with her in a short period of time.
"This damn wolf!"
Yun Ling sadly swallowed another spirit-boosting pill and said bitterly.
She and this persistent wolf have been chasing each other for half a day, and both sides have consumed a lot of spiritual energy. However, this wolf refuses to give up.
If she paused for a moment, the wolf would catch up with her.
Along the way, she had already taken several tonic pills.
The wounds on his arms have been spreading upwards. If the wolf is not dealt with, the fire poison will attack his heart and his life will be in danger.
After walking another hundred meters, she secretly gritted her teeth, stopped, turned around, took out the Yunluo Umbrella, and faced off with the Cloud-Taking Red Wolf again.
After seeing her struggling for a long time, Tayun Chilang sacrificed the magical weapon with the same umbrella. His red eyes showed contempt, and he opened his mouth with a flaming arrow.
She used her umbrella to block it forward, exposing a flaw in her side.
The red wolf stepping on the cloud was overjoyed and flew forward.
The wolf opened its mouth, its sharp teeth gleaming with cold light, and bit into her delicate, snow-white neck.
"Bang!" There was another muffled sound, and the body of Taoyun Red Wolf suddenly exploded, and its flesh and blood flew away.
Yun Ling's spiritual energy was exhausted and she collapsed on the ground.
She just threw a second-grade Burning Sky Talisman when the wolf's mouth opened wide.
This was given to her by Master Mingying for self-defense. There are only five pieces in total divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It has the attack power of a monk in the foundation-building stage and requires a lot of spiritual power to detonate.
She had never thought of using one on this beast, which made her heartbroken.
As a disciple of Yuzhuo Peak, there is naturally no shortage of spiritual water.
First, clean the wound with Yuzhuo Spring water and take Quhuo Dan to heal it.
He also took two tonic pills one after another and meditated to consolidate his energy.
Two hours later, Yun Ling managed to recover half of his spiritual power.
The skin and flesh of the Cloud-Stepping Red Wolf were blown to pieces, leaving only a head and sharp claws on its limbs.
The only reason is that it has low intelligence and thinks that Yun Ling and Qian Donkey have no choice but to run away.
She never thought that she still had the magic talisman in her hand, but she lost her life in vain due to her carelessness.
"Chase, I told you to chase!" She beat the wolf's head a few times angrily and put its remains into the storage bag.
The Cloud Stepping Red Wolf's eyes, teeth and wolf claws can be used to refine weapons, and he can go to Zongmenfang Market to exchange for a lot of spirit stones, which can be considered as making up for the consumption this time.
It was already night.
To a monk, there is no difference between day and night.
The monk's eyes and consciousness are as sharp as night.
She wandered around the forest casually.
There are many firewood trees in Yuting Mountain, but there are not many firewood fruits that bear fruit and are ripe. This sect mission requires hundreds of ripe fruits, and it takes a while to find them.
After Yun Ling found a dozen fire berries along the road, he continued walking deeper into Yuting Mountain.
Fortunately, she came across a firewood tree that was more than three times as strong as its kind, with more than twenty ripe fruits on it.
While she was picking, she caught a glimpse of a faint purple light not far away.
Have a baby?
She jumped off the branch and carefully cut the vines blocking the purple light.
When I took a closer look, I found that it was a purple grass.
The purple paulownia is petite and inconspicuous. It blooms only once in a hundred years, and it only lasts six hours from the time it blooms to when it fades.
At this time, the purple paulownia flower is in bloom, with purple petals bringing out a little glow, which is the moment of maturity.
Mature purple paulownia flowers are third-grade jelly grass and one of the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This kind of third-grade fairy grass is usually guarded by monsters, so Yun Ling didn't dare to pick it rashly.
She used her spiritual consciousness to carefully examine her surroundings, but found no monsters.
Just when she was puzzled, she discovered that there were a lot of fiery red wolf hairs scattered not far under the flowers, and even further away there was a piece of white ox horn.
Suddenly, enlightenment dawned.
One of the white oxen and the red wolf that stepped on the clouds must be the guarding monster of the purple paulownia flower.
Unexpectedly, another monster came to fight for it before it bloomed. In the end, Bai Si Niu was defeated. Before she died, she happened to meet her.
She hit and ran, but she missed the mark and got closer and closer to the fairy grass.
No wonder Taoyun Red Wolf chased after her, thinking she was here to rob her too.
By a coincidence of fate, this purple paulownia flower finally belonged to Yun Ling.
After spending several days in the mountains, she finally gathered a hundred fire berries, dug up a lot of low-level herbs, and also encountered several monsters.
In line with the intention of never wasting anything, I put all the scraped skin into the storage bag.
During this period, she met several waves of monks who came in groups, but she cleverly avoided them all.
People's hearts are complicated, so it's better to be careful.
When the two storage bags she carried were almost full, she left Yuting Mountain and came to Fangshi in Xuanling City.
Xuanling City is a city under the rule of Xuanling Sect.
The city is divided into east and west areas with Xuanling Square as the boundary.
The west area is relatively quiet, and most of them are inn-style caves, which are rented out to disciples of other sects or casual cultivators.
The East District is much more lively. There is a Wenxian Teahouse for those who seek immortality to take a rest. There is a mixture of people and gossips inside.
There are stalls in a circle around the teahouse. As long as you pay a piece of spiritual stone to the teahouse, you can set up a stall for a day. The prices of the items sold at the stalls are often cheaper than those in the market, and you can exchange items for items, which is very convenient.
Because Yun Ling had gained a lot in the past few days and had a lot of things to sell, setting up stalls was too eye-catching, so he went directly to Fangshi on the easternmost side.
The first store in Fang City is called Xuanlingfang, which is the property of Xuanling Sect.
All materials sold by the disciples in the sect are at market prices, and you can also get a lot of discounts when purchasing medicinal pills and magic weapons.
Therefore, all Xuanling Sect disciples are willing to come here to trade.
