Ask Immortal Way

"Ask the Immortal Way"

The two mountains are close together, and from a certain angle, they look like lovers cuddling.

The local monks call it the Male and Female Mountain.

Entering the basin from the mountain pass of the male and female mountains is one of the safe paths that the local monks have explored for countless years. A group of low-level monks gathered on the mountain.

The miasma in the basin is very regular, rising at night and falling back during the day.

Night is the most dangerous.

As soon as the sun sets, they will escape from the basin and wait for the next day's sunrise at the male and female mountains. Those with a higher cultivation base, or prepared antidote elixir, can persist in the miasma for a longer time, but after staying for a period of time, they have to come out to slow down.

The male and female mountain was originally very brilliant, and once formed a small market. As the resources in this area were plundered and gradually declined, those chambers of commerce also moved to other places.

Now only these low-level monks continue to stay here, barely getting by.

The old scene is gone.

They entered the dilapidated market, randomly found a few empty houses, took out all kinds of bottles and cans and herbs, boiled them into decoctions, each shared a bowl, and immediately sweated like pulp, dispelling the miasma poison in the body.

I don't know how many times I have done similar actions, and I am very skillful.

Everyone regained their spirits, talking and laughing, sorting out the harvest of this trip.

"Hey! There are fewer and fewer medicinal herbs in the male and female mountains. The harvest this time is only 80% of the last time. If this continues, when will we be able to change to a pair of Hualingsan?"

The leader was a strong man with a gloomy expression.

"Hey, with Hualing Powder, breaking through the tenth floor of the Qi Refining Period, and collecting spirit stones to buy Foundation Establishment Pills, one piece may not be able to break through. Boss, you are so difficult, we dare not even think about it. Earn some money Family fortune, go back and marry ten or eight wives, and if you are lucky enough to have a talented child, you will be satisfied," someone jokingly said.

"That's not easy. If we find a psychic flower, we'll send it out. A few Foundation Establishment Pills are not a problem. It's not a legend. A guy gets a top-quality psychic flower seed. It is said that the chamber of commerce that took it over turns around and kills it." It was sold to a big shot, and the price was increased dozens of times. Even so, that guy made a fortune and moved his family away," said the No. 2 person in the team with a look of envy.

A person next to him gave a 'bah' sound, "Second brother talks about things that don't matter, the magic flower is precious, but it only shows up when the miasma is the most violent, with our little cultivation, I didn’t even know how to die when I went in…”

The voice did not fall.

Suddenly the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside, and two people walked in.

Everyone was shocked, and they used their magic weapons, as if they were facing a big enemy.

The leading strong man stared at the two uninvited guests. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. He held down his companion, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "We are destined to meet each other. The night is windy and cold. If the two friends are looking for a place to stay, I will ask my brother to share it with you." A room with friends."

It was Qin Sang and Lu Zhang who came.

Lu Zhang was eager to find the traces of the stone toad, and was too lazy to talk nonsense. He just released a ray of true energy, and the group collapsed, leaving only the horrified strong man.

"Where do the psychic flowers you mentioned just now appear?"

The strong man's legs were weak, and his voice was trembling, "Senior, we are all hearing from hearsay. I heard that it is not fixed every time, but it is probably in the center of the basin. If you want to get accurate information, senior, go west. Eight hundred miles away, there is a market, someone must know about it..."

Lu Zhang nodded slightly, threw a few spirit stones to the strong man, and turned to leave.

Qin Sang remembered something, interjected and asked, "Do you know what kind of gods are worshiped in the nearby village?"

The brawny man thought for a while and said cautiously: "Senior is talking about the Gu God Sect, right? The younger generation has heard that it is something that businessmen use to make money and fool ordinary people. They spread the Gu God Sect everywhere, under the name of the Gu God Sect , selling herbal medicines with psychedelic effects to those villages at high prices...we don't believe it."

No wonder those mortals are so fanatical.

Taking psychedelic herbal medicine, the body will be affected by the power of the medicine for many years, coupled with psychological hints, the simplest talisman water can also have a certain effect.

If you take this medicine all day long, the body of a mortal will collapse long ago.

It only spreads in the mortal world, but the upper layer is the Nascent Soul Guardian.

So divided, is it really the same force?

Qin Sang secretly felt strange.

The two left the male and female mountain, entered Fangshi, and after a little inquiring, they entered the basin without stopping under the heavy miasma.

The interval between the stone toad coming out to absorb the purple air can sometimes be as long as several decades.

Moreover, Lu Zhang judged that the stone toad was close to maturity and could transform and flee at any time, so he couldn't wait outside.

There is a range in the area where the stone toad spreads spores, and the main body must be hidden in this area. However, the range is not small, and they need to search for a while, and they are not sure whether it is on the surface or underground.

It is said that there are tunnels all over the bottom of the basin, extending in all directions, which is the source of miasma, which is very dangerous.

'Hoo hoo...'

Qin Sang and Lu Zhang fell straight to the ground, and the miasma rushed to their faces, urging their true essence to form a protective shield. Looking up again, the dense miasma blocked the moonlight.

Both vision and spirituality are affected.

Based on the collected information, Lu Zhang drew a rough range, flew in the miasma for a while, and took out the treasure bell when he reached the target.

'Ring ring ring...'

In the empty basin, the bell sounds more and more crisp.

The precious light formed a halo, which swung far away.

Lu Zhang can isolate the sound of the bell, but he can't cover up the fluctuation of Baoguang, otherwise the Baose Bell will lose the effect of breaking the illusion.

Ordinary treasures cannot see through the disguise of the stone toad.

They met several chambers of commerce on the way, but they couldn't find a magic weapon that could satisfy them, so they could only rely on Baoseling. There is no need to separate, one person controls the Baose bell, and the other person is alert, so they take turns.

Holding the Baose Bell in his palm, Lu Zhang nodded to Qin Sang and began to search.

Qin Sang and Lu Zhang kept a distance of several feet, and when Lu Zhang was not paying attention, he let go of the shield of true energy and actively induced a wisp of miasma into his body.

The miasma swam around in the body, Qin Sang didn't feel any obvious discomfort.

Obviously, this kind of miasma damages the physical body the most, and the incarnation is the body of spiritual wood, which can be immune to this kind of damage to a certain extent.

This is a big plus for subsequent actions.

Qin Sang reckoned that it was unlikely to find the stone toad on the ground, and it would definitely have to go deep underground.

The cramped underground environment is the source of the miasma. While resisting the miasma, maintaining the precious bell is not a small burden. Not to mention the poisonous beasts and insects hidden in the ground will also be attracted by the vibration of the treasure bell and attack them.

Apart from them, few people dared to enter the depths of the basin at this time.

After searching all night, there was no third person.

Sure enough, many poisons were attracted during the period, but Qin Sang easily dealt with them.

In the early morning of the next day, the miasma began to recede. Even at the lowest point, there was still a layer on the ground, and their pressure would not be reduced.

However, their actions were more cautious than at night.

They have already found out that although this is not a dojo of some major cultivation, there are many Nascent Soul forces in Nanzhou. If there is too much movement, it will attract the attention of local snakes and cause trouble.

The two took turns a few times before searching the surface. As expected, no stone toad was found, and they finally came to the entrance of an underground tunnel.

The entire basin is full of such entrances, which are covered with humus, and you can see them when you push them apart. The small ones are as narrow as rock cracks, and the large ones can accommodate dozens of people to enter.

Every entrance is filled with miasma, which will be continuously erupted from it at night.

"Go down from here."

Lu Zhang said.

Qin Sang nodded, handed the treasure bell in his hand to Lu Zhang, took out the spirit stone and held it in his hand to recover his true energy.

The road they chose is neither wide nor narrow. It is said that the underground is connected, and there are very few dead ends, regardless of which position you enter from.

Even in the daytime, there are very few monks who dare to enter the ground.

How deep the underground tunnel is is still unclear.

Qin Sang and the others were going to measure it themselves.

They decided on one direction, walked through one secret passage after another, kept going down, they couldn't figure out how far they went, and finally arrived at a secret passage that didn't know if it ended or not.

The miasma here is as thick as water, like a dark river formed by miasma.

Qin Sang was fine, but Lu Zhang had to spend more real energy to resist the miasma.

"hiss!"

Qin Sang felt a little headache, "I'm afraid it will take two or three months to search this area. I just hope that the stone toad doesn't move around."

Lu Zhang didn't expect it to be so troublesome, so he said helplessly: "The pre-mature stone toad can only move by instinct, and the speed is not fast. Generally, it will not leave the nest where it was born... It will take a long time."

Qin Sang shook his head, "Since I promised Fellow Daoist Lu, the poor way must have a beginning and an end."

The two stopped talking and acted silently.

The underground passages are intertwined.

Some are straight, some are curved, and the trend is unpredictable.

Fortunately, both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, and no matter how complicated the terrain was, they couldn't confuse them.

Qin Sang constructed a topographical map in his mind.

As time passed day by day, the map gradually became fuller, and the secret passages became clear.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

After searching nearly half of the area, there is still no trace of Shi Toad, but both of them are firm-minded people, and they will not waver in their determination because of this.

There are also gains.

Qin Sang got a lot of bones of poisonous beasts and insects, as well as poisonous pills, and went back to try to see if there was anything he liked. Seeing that Qin Sang was interested in these things, Lu Zhang gave them all to him.

The two walked through a dark passage thousands of feet long.

The end is connected with a stone path, and the secret path they walked through during this time is the widest.

After a little observation, Lu Zhang urged Bao Se Ling to enter the stone path first.

Qin Sang followed behind.

The precious light illuminates the stone wall on one side, and the sound of the bell only echoes around the two of them.

They are like passers-by with lanterns, moving forward silently.

After walking like this for a while, Qin Sang's eyes showed suspicion, and she suddenly called to Lu Zhang, "Fellow Daoist Lu, this place is not normal. After walking for so long, I didn't see a poisonous insect or beast."

Lu Zhang stopped, and his expression became a little more dignified.

Based on their experience, the most likely reason for this situation is that the king's lair is nearby, and other insects dare not approach the king's territory.

During this period of time, among the poisonous beasts they encountered, the most powerful was a poisonous python in the middle stage of the demon core.

Could it be that there are big monsters in the transformation stage or spirit insects of the fourth transformation here?

The insects and beasts inhabiting here are likely to be good at resisting poison. In this special environment, the threat is greatly increased, and they dare not take it too seriously.

Lu Zhang compressed the range of Bao Se Ling.

Qin Sang grasped the Snow-Treading Sword in his palm.

In this way, he traveled a certain distance and was not attacked.

Just as they were about to walk out of this stone path, strange sounds suddenly came from the depths of the miasma, very soft, like the sound of scales rubbing against the ground.

Lu Zhang reacted very quickly and pressed the Baose bell.

Qin Sang's footsteps stopped immediately.

The two looked at each other, and communicated a few words through voice transmission. Lu Zhang was in front to explore the way, while Qin Sang held the Snow-Treading Sword, and secretly prepared his powerful hands.

The two walked in front of each other, and after walking not far, they saw a dim yellow fire in front of them.

The flames flickered.

After walking a few more steps, he finally saw the situation ahead clearly.

It turned out to be a fire.

This group of flames floated on the ground, expanding and contracting for a while, the flames wrapped a poisonous spider the size of a human head, its breath was weak, and it was on the verge of death.

The flame stuck tightly to the poisonous spider's body and burned through the poisonous spider's shell.

The poisonous spider felt the pain and convulsed its body, but it couldn't resist the flames. It was devoured by the flames in the blink of an eye, leaving only a shell.

Lu Zhang frowned, unable to remember the origin of this flame for a while.

"It's the Corpse Flame Moth!"

Qin Sang said.

He collected cheats on how to control insects everywhere, and recognized that it was a poisonous insect.

Corpse flame moths, like rotting phosphorus fireflies, are social spirit insects that gather and disperse like fire. The flames are their camouflage, but they are actually the poisonous powder on their bodies ~www.readwn.com~ which is highly poisonous.

The fire broke away from the poisonous spider's body.

It can be vaguely seen that in the flames, there are dozens of yellow poisonous moths the size of a fingernail, huddled together, like the flame core of the flames.

"How many corpse flame moths are there?" Lu Zhang asked in a deep voice.

Qin Sang said hesitantly, "Not necessarily, as few as thousands, as many as..."

Before the words were finished, the miasma in front suddenly turbulent, clusters of dim yellow flames lit up one after another, densely packed, there were thousands of clusters visible to the naked eye.

Only in this kind of poisonous miasma can so many corpse flame moths be bred!

"They found us," a halo burst out from Lu Zhang's body, sweeping the surrounding void, and shouted, "Poisonous powder!"

'Om! '

The buzzing suddenly broke out, and in the closed underground, the sound seemed to have the power to penetrate the eardrum.

In an instant, all the flames gathered together, and then rushed towards them, instinctively devouring any living things they encountered.

The fire in the stone path was bright.

Endless poisonous powder swept in like a hurricane.

It's hard to imagine that such a weak corpse flame moth can launch such an astonishing attack.

Without saying a word, Qin Sang lightly shook her wrist, and the Snow-Treading Sword shot out a cold glow, opening a snowy path.

The sharp saber energy split the flame in half like a destructive one.

The corpse of the corpse flame moth was frozen into ice melon seeds and fell to the ground, but the group was not affected, one by one, one by one, they rushed forward one after another.

Lu Zhang's movements were not slow, a blue light flashed between his brows, and then the whole body was filled with this blue light, and finally Qin Sang was covered in it, turning into an ancient blue bell.

The ancient bell protects the body, and the blue light rolls back towards the swarm of insects, and cooperates with the Snow-Treading Sword to separate the swarm of insects.

Just when they were fighting the swarm.

deep underground.

unknown land.

There was an angry snort in the darkness.
