Chapter 174: Collecting Herbs
Huang Family, Taiyuan Mountain.
This is the best spiritual vein in the entire Qinghe County. After thousands of years of management by the Huang family, it is now densely populated within a radius of dozens of miles of the mountain, and it is like a scene of singing and dancing. It’s like a paradise on earth.
On this day, a green sword light suddenly came from the east side. When the mortals at the foot of the mountain saw this scene, they thought it was an immortal from their own mountain. They stopped what they were doing and knelt down on the ground in piety. Worship.
"It is indeed the ancestral land of the Huang family that has been in business for thousands of years. The number of mortals here is enough to rival Qinghefang." Looking at the endless villages and towns below, Song Qingming, who was riding the flying sword, couldn't help but say Sighed.
There are nearly 300,000 mortals living in more than a dozen small towns at the foot of Taiyuan Mountain. Almost all of these people are of the blood of the Huang family. They can provide the Huang family with two or three children with spiritual roots every year. Compared with the Song family, For such a newly rising Foundation-building family, Taiyuan Mountain's thousand-year heritage is difficult for them to match in a short period of time.
As soon as he came out of seclusion, his sixth uncle Song Changfeng handed him a letter from the Huang family. Only then did Song Qingming know that the Huang family had asked him to meet at Taiyuan Mountain five days ago. He had a simple meeting with Song Changfeng. After explaining a few words, he hurried here in a hurry.
Under the guidance of the Huang family monks at the foot of the mountain, Song Qingming quickly arrived at the top of Taiyuan Mountain. Several Huang family monks who had been waiting for a long time saw Song Qingming and hurriedly came up to greet him.
Song Qingming stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I have been practicing in seclusion these past few days. I didn't see the letter in time and kept several fellow Taoists waiting for a long time. I really feel guilty and hope that Haihan will do it!"< br>
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! I didn't expect that after half a year, my Taoist friend Song has made further progress. It's really gratifying to congratulate him."
Huang Shengyue, with a smile on her face, stepped forward to say hello to Song Qingming, then pointed to an old man beside her and introduced: "Fellow Taoist Song, this is my nineteenth uncle. He has joined the Xiaoyao Sect in his early years. , I came back specifically to help this time.”
< br>After hearing this, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to the old man, and then he unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually, like Huang Shengxin, a late-stage foundation-building monk with advanced cultivation skills. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Huang. I gained some new understanding of my family’s strength.
The old man's name is Huang Chengding. He is the same generation as Huang Chengliang in the Huang family tree, and it has been more than a hundred years since he established the foundation.
Huang Chengding joined the Xiaoyao Sect when he was a teenager and rarely returned to Qinghe County. So much so that Song Qingming, a monk born and raised in Qinghe County, had never heard of such a member of the Huang family in the Xiaoyao Sect. A powerful foundation-building master.
Now that everyone has arrived, Huang Shengxin, the head of the Huang family, coughed lightly and quickly took out a silver flying boat from his body, loaded it with everyone and set off directly to the north.
The flying boat is a flying magic weapon that can carry multiple monks. It needs to be controlled by monks at the foundation level or above. The second-level flying boat like the one used by Huang Shengxin can usually only carry about ten people. If it is controlled by a golden elixir monk It is normal for a third-level flying boat to have hundreds of people inside.
Standing on Huang Shengxin's flying boat, feeling that it was three minutes faster than flying with his own sword, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his heart. He would definitely get one when he had the opportunity in the future. With this magical weapon, you can greatly speed up your escape when encountering danger.
However, spiritual objects like flying boats are much more expensive than ordinary second-level magic weapons. Any second-level flying boat requires 2,000 spiritual stones to purchase. This is almost over. The price of a second-grade high-grade magic weapon is too high. Most people can't afford this kind of thing.
On this trip, the Huang family did not bring any Qi-refining monks with them. Except for one Huang family Qi-refining monk who originally discovered the bead of elixir, who was responsible for guiding the way, the rest were all Foundation-building monks. .
The Huang family is very well prepared for the third-level bead this time. The three foundation-building monks of the Huang family, Huang Shengxin, who is on the ninth-level foundation building, Huang Chengliang, who is on the fifth-level foundation building, and Huang Shengyue, who is on the fourth-level foundation building. It was already good, and with the addition of Huang Chengding, who was on the seventh level of foundation building, and Song Qingming, who had just broken through to the second level of foundation building, it was more than enough to deal with the two monsters in the late stage of foundation building. If nothing unexpected happens on this trip, it should be a sure shot to achieve the goal. The only thing that makes Song Qingming a little worried is that Huang Shengxin, the head of the Huang family, from the first meeting, Song Qingming felt that he seemed to have been injured not long ago. He has just recovered. I wonder if he was injured while fighting for the elixir with the two monsters a year ago.
Everyone flew north for two days. After passing through Pingyang County, they soon entered the Fuyun Mountains. Along the way, everyone took turns driving the flying boat without stopping at all. After five days of long journey After that, they arrived at the destination of their trip, a high mountain covered with various weeds.
Huang Shengxin and Huang Shengyue had already been here once before and knew the location of the monsters on the mountain. In order not to alarm them first, a group of people, under the command of Huang Shengxin, were more than ten miles away from the mountain. When we were on the way, we put away the flying boat and quietly approached this spiritual mountain on foot.
Along the way, everyone on the flying boat had repeatedly discussed the battle, and finally planned to divide the troops into two groups, using them as bait to approach quietly from the front, and kill the two late-stage foundation-building wolves on the mountain. The demon was lured out first, and then another group of monks took advantage of the second-level wolf demon to be lured out, quietly entered the mountain from the side, took the opportunity to get the pearl elixir, and then went to join the rest of the people.
After deciding on the strategy, several people divided the work. Huang Shengxin and Huang Chengding, two masters in the late stage of foundation building, were responsible for luring the enemy. The remaining three, Huang Chengliang, Huang Shengyue and Song Qingming, took the opportunity to pick the elixir.
After Huang Shengxin and the others set off, Song Qingming and others used breath-condensing techniques, carefully controlled the spiritual energy in their bodies, and lurked aside to wait slowly.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Huang Shengxin and the others flew back empty-handed, without seeing any trace of the monster behind them.
"Strange! I don't know what happened on the mountain. Not a single monster was seen. The same is true where we encountered the monster last time."
"Is it possible? Someone has already arrived first." Hearing Huang Shengxin's words, everyone showed a look of surprise.
Huang Shengxin shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. I haven't seen many signs of fighting. I don't know if this group of wolf monsters has migrated. In short, we should let Sirui take us quickly. Let’s go to the mountain and take a look. I don’t know if the third-level elixir is still there.”
Upon hearing this, the Qi Refining monk who was hiding behind everyone and was the first to discover this third-level elixir quickly stepped forward and nodded.
A group of six people, led by the monk in the Qi Refining Stage, quickly arrived at a pool high on the mountain. Sure enough, here, everyone saw a half-foot-tall plant that exuded a hint of spiritual light. The elixir, this is exactly the third-level skylight flower they want to get.
“It’s really lucky that those wolf demons didn’t destroy this pearl elixir at all.”
After Huang Shengxin stepped forward and carefully picked the pearl elixir, he suddenly picked it up from a few people. There was another voice that was very unfamiliar to them.
“A few little guys have been wandering around outside for a long time just for this pearl elixir?”
