Cultivation is too difficult, and people will die if they do the tasks.

Chapter 172 Finding the Source
Leng Zijiao's suggestion made Bai Wan'er frown: "This devil's heart grass was found in a grave. It doesn't grow here. How to find the place where the grass grows. There must be a general direction, right?"

Leng Zijiao stopped talking and looked at Bai Wan'er with a smile.

Bai Wan'er's hair stood up: "Why are fellow Taoists looking at me like this?"

Leng Zijiao smiled even more warmly: "In this case of the military ghost, Fellow Daoist Bai has many ideas. He can find clues from 70 years ago. Don't you have any ideas about the devil's heart grass?"

Bai Wan'er sneered.This demonic cultivator actually wanted to put more effort into himself.

"Why should I think about it? What's the benefit?"

Leng Zijiao wanted to find it on his own, but he had no clue.Thinking about Bai Wan'er's process of eliminating evil spirits, she peeled off the cocoons and found clues.I think success is possible only through cooperation.

"Find the Devil's Heart Grass, we'll have four and six. I'll be six and you'll be four."

Bai Wan'er raised her eyebrows: "Why are you six and me four?"

"Wherever the Devil's Heart Grass grows, there must be something evil. Without my help, Fellow Daoist Bai might not be able to pick the Devil's Heart Grass."

"Then don't pick it, I don't want it anymore. Fellow Taoist, please find it yourself slowly." Bai Wan'er turned around and left.

"Wait a minute," Leng Zijiao stopped Bai Wan'er, "It's [-]-[-], that's okay."

Bai Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "Okay. But the ugly words come first. If I think it doesn't work, I will quit immediately. Don't stop me."

Leng Zijiao thought for a while and nodded: "Just do what fellow Taoist Bai said."

Bai Wan'er agreed.

After all, finding the Devil's Heart Grass would be helpful in making the elixir, not to mention having an assistant.This thing is worth a try.

"How do we find the place where the Devil's Heart Grass grows?"

Leng Zijiao already regards himself and Bai Wan'er as a team.

Bai Wan'er picked up the Devil's Heart Grass: "How long does it take for the Devil's Heart Grass to turn General Hu's family into ghosts?"

"I searched all over the tomb, and there are five devil's heart grasses inside. It will take about half a year to turn the general family into ghosts."

Bai Wan'er frowned: "Fellow Taoist, is there any way to check again to see if there is any Devil's Heart Grass in the graveyard?"

Leng Zijiao said: "The devil's heart grass is a demonic thing. It will not appear in broad daylight. At midnight, I can think of a solution."

"However, it is useless to find the Devil's Heart Grass after being away from the evil object for so long. Even if there is still some evil poison left, it cannot be refined into a magic weapon elixir. Why is Fellow Daoist Bai looking for it?"

Bai Wan'er smiled slightly: "I just used the elimination method to find a possibility. Let's come over tonight."

The two leave the mass grave.

Bai Wan'er went to the best inn in town and booked the best room.

Check it inside and out, and then set the barrier.Bai Wan'er took a hot bath comfortably.

While soaking, I lamented that these immortal cultivators have the body-cleansing technique to use conveniently, so they will never be able to experience the relaxation and comfort of taking a bath in their lifetime.It would be a beautiful thing in the world if we could have a bathing meal.

Leng Zijiao meditated in his room and didn't see Bai Wan'er until dark.

Leng Zijiao lamented that the Qing'e sect's cultivation techniques were really good.Bai Wan'er looked radiant, even her hair was shining.

Leng Zijiao even thought about whether he could ask for advice when the relationship between the two of them got better.

The two came to the mass grave.The cemetery under the moonlight remains low-pressure and cold-toned as always.

Leng Zijiao flew around the edge of the mass grave, throwing things down from time to time.Then it flew to the center and stopped on the highest tombstone.

Bai Wan'er saw a tall figure standing on a long and thin wooden sign.

When Leng Zijiao started to do this and stretched out his arms, the moon was just behind him.

What a celestial version of the crucifix.Leng Zijiao concentrated on running the spell, clicking his fingers constantly, as if he was playing a piano out of thin air.

Bai Wan'er summoned her spiritual power and saw that Leng Zijiao's fingers were connected to countless rays of light, and the other end of the rays of light fell on various places in the cemetery.

As Leng Zijiao moved his fingers up and down, something popped up and down in the soil, as if a groundhog was digging a hole.

"rise!"

Leng Zijiao shouted loudly, his figure soared up, and he clasped his hands together to finish casting the spell.

Small pits suddenly opened in the cemetery, and slender leaves slowly grew out of these pits.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Devil's Heart Grass.

Leng Zijiao flew to Bai Wan'er and pointed at the grass growing up: "There are nine pieces of devil's heart grass in the entire cemetery, and they were all found by my corpse maggots."

Only then did Bai Wan'er see clearly that it wasn't the leaves that were growing out, but the light green insects under the ground that were pushing the leaves out of the ground.

Bai Wan'er couldn't help but take a closer look at the slimy and squirming insects: "Corpse maggots?"

"Corpse maggots feed on the cold air of the inferi. They like to be close to cold and poisonous things. So it is best to use them to find the devil's heart grass. The effect is very good."

Leng Zijiao looked proud.This is an idea that I only came up with after thinking about it for a whole day.

"Did you raise the corpse maggots?"

"I have been cultivating them for a long time, and I originally wanted to use them to find those with inferi. They just came in handy today. They look interesting!"

Leng Zijiao felt like he had found a like-minded person.

Usually when female cultivators see things like corpse maggots, they avoid them, and many of their colleagues don't like them either.Unexpectedly, Bai Wan'er looked at her seriously and didn't look disgusted at all.

Sure enough, they looked very similar to the feed bugs in pet stores, but they were more than ten times larger, making them look bigger than caterpillars.

Bai Wan'er nodded.Looking back, I saw Leng Zijiao looking excited.Bai Wan'er thought to herself: The tastes of demon cultivators are indeed very niche.

Leng Zijiao asked: "I found the devil's heart grass in the cemetery, what should I do next?"

Bai Wan'er flew up and looked at all the locations of the Devil's Heart Grass.

"The tombs where the Devil's Heart Grass is distributed are very messy. Some are very early and the bones have rotted away, and some were buried not long ago. Some are burial tombs. It can be seen that no one put the Devil's Heart Grass in it. Because it is meaningless."

Leng Zijiao was stunned: "The devil's heart grass entered these tombs accidentally."

"Also, the latest tomb seems to be more than half a year old. So the devil's heart grass entered the tomb half a year ago."

Bai Wan'er looked around and flew into the distance.Leng Zijiao immediately followed.

Soon the two came to the river.

Bai Wan'er pointed to the river: "The father-in-law of the Li family once said that the mass graves were once flooded by the river. I asked the inn clerk today to find out. Half a year ago, the river flooded and the mass graves were flooded."

"So the devil's heart grass rushed to the mass graves from this river."

Bai Wan'er looked towards the upper reaches of the river: "The place where the Devil's Heart Grass grows should be somewhere upstream of the river."

"It's easy to find if you know the direction." Leng Zijiao clenched his fist, "But the river is so long, where is the Devil's Heart Grass?"

Bai Wan'er nodded: "You said that if the devil's heart grass leaves the soil where it grows, the evil will dissipate soon. Since the devil's heart grass can still play a role in the tomb, it means that it did not fall into the river for a long time. It should not be far away from here. It’ll be far away.”

Leng Zijiao laughed: "Fellow Daoist Bai is really smart, so we can find the Devil's Heart Grass. Let's go!"

"Bring your corpse maggots with you. You may need their help when the time comes!" Bai Wan'er reminded.

Leng Zijiao nodded, and the two of them spread out their movements and ran upstream along the river bank like shooting stars.
