Under the violent bombardment of several people, the green python finally gave up and fell to the ground unwillingly. Xu Chenglin nodded slightly towards the three people and put away the long sword in his hands. The three people looked at each other and put it away.

He held the weapon and raised his fist towards Xu Chenglin.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help. I am deeply grateful."

The smile reappeared on the smiling man's face, and he nodded gratefully to Xu Chenglin.

"It's a little trivial matter, but you three don't have to do it like this."

"You are so polite, fellow Taoist. I don't know how to thank you for saving my life."

Seeing the sincere look on the woman's face, Xu Chenglin shook his head and chuckled.

"Fairy Lu, Fellow Daoist Zhou, and Fellow Daoist Wang, you three don't have to be like this."

Xu Chenglin's Taoist friend Wang was named Wang Chuan, the man with a stern expression, Taoist friend Zhou was named Zhou Heng, the man with a smiling face, and the last Fairy Lu was named Lu Yan, the only woman among the three.

Listening to Xu Chenglin telling the three people's surnames without any pause, Wang Chuan looked at Xu Chenglin and seemed to suddenly remember something. He was a little unsure and cautiously opened his mouth.

"But Taoist Fellow of Jiuhua Academy?"

"Xu Chenglin of Jiuhua Academy. When we first arrived, I think we had already met a few of them."

Hearing that someone recognized his sect, Xu Chenglin smiled and revealed his identity.

"It turns out it's really fellow Taoist Xu, no wonder I always feel familiar."

Zhou Heng suddenly realized at this moment that he also thought of Xu Chenglin.

The alliance between the two sects was a tacit agreement between the two sects. After learning Xu Chenglin's identity, the three of them also understood the reason why he offered help.

After the courtesy was over, the monster corpse was placed in front of the four people and became a problem again. Lu Yan quietly winked at his two companions, and the three of them took two steps back slightly with tacit understanding. Seeing the three people's concession,

Xu Chenglin smiled kindly.

He was no longer polite, and slashed the blue python's belly with a long sword. After the monster died, its body defense was far inferior to what it was before it was alive. It's no wonder that without the support of spiritual energy, the defense methods are useless and vulnerable to a single blow.

A sword mark of about half a foot appeared on the green python's abdomen, and a dark green snake gall rolled out from the wound, then floated towards Xu Chenglin.

Putting the snake gall in his hand, Xu Chenglin nodded to the three of them and stepped aside. The three of them looked at each other and stepped forward. Each of them took out the magical weapon and divided the parts they needed.

Seeing the three people dividing the green python, Xu Chenglin also remembered his original intention.

"The three of you are all members of the Phantom Sect. I think some of you should know the relationship between your sect and my Jiuhua Academy. If you can trust me, would you like to go to the top of the mountain to explore together?"

The three of them looked at each other, then smiled bitterly. The three of them shook their heads, and finally Lu Yan spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is from Jiuhua Academy, and the three of us naturally trust you. It's not that we don't want to go with you, but that the three of us already know that we are powerless. Those things on the mountain are not something we can handle. I wanted to retreat.

The next thing I wanted to do was to come back here to look for some opportunities, but I didn’t expect to encounter this monster and almost die here.”

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Xu Chenglin's eyes lit up.

"Fairy, can you tell me more about the situation on the mountain?"

Seeing Xu Chenglin's eager look, Lu Yan smiled slightly.

"Fellow Taoist, don't be anxious, just listen to me."

As Lu Yan narrated, the experiences of the three people gradually became clear. It turned out that they were five people who entered the forest together and were transported here by the silver light while collecting a seven-leaf ginseng.

While the five people were climbing the mountain, two of them met unexpectedly in the illusion of the peach blossom forest.

Outside, they were teleported to other places again by the silver light. The remaining three people moved forward carefully, and finally passed through the red leaf forest and climbed to the top of the mountain with purple snowflakes.

The gravity at the top of the mountain is more than ten times that at the bottom of the mountain. This level of gravity makes even the ninth-level monks feel uncomfortable.

Under the suppression of gravity, the spiritual energy consumption of several people was very rapid, and their strength was suppressed even more severely. The gravity alone was already too much for them to bear. The purple jade bees mixed in the purple snowflakes in the air made them even more intimidated.

Already.

"Purple jade bees? Are they the kind of thumb-sized, purple and transparent bees that are highly poisonous and live in groups?"

When Xu Chenglin heard the word purple jade bee, he immediately thought of this creature.

Purple Jade Bees, to be precise, are not monsters. Even so, every low-level cultivator dare not underestimate them. There are still many things that cultivators below the level of Qi Condensation are afraid of, and this poison is one of them.

.

Normally, purple jade bees live in warm places with many flowers. But for some unknown reason, the purple jade bees here can actually survive in the sky full of snowflakes.

Thinking about it, it actually doesn't feel strange. This kind of creature exists when the spiritual energy is thin. It is understandable that the Purple Jade Bee has some changes after the spiritual energy becomes thicker.

In the outside world, if he encountered a Purple Jade Bee in a cold place, Xu Chenglin might not care much and would just be more careful. But now, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"It's really troublesome, it turns out to be this kind of thing. In the past, you could only use fire attacks to deal with them, but now I don't know if it still works?"

Xu Chenglin muttered quietly, but Lu Yan still heard it. She shook her head, looking a little helpless.

"We have already tried it, but the fire attack has little effect. The red jade orb in my hand can release flames as long as the spiritual power is activated. But the flames do not do much harm to them now, but will stimulate their ferocity.

Not only that, this group of purple jade bees is quite intelligent and has strong discipline when acting collectively, making it difficult to attack them separately. Unlike those encountered before, these purple jade bees are very special. When they gather together, they can use

The environment creates an icicle storm. If we were outside, we could easily escape these icicle storms, but here we don’t dare to try easily.”

"The key problem in going up the mountain is how to deal with these purple jade bees. These things are extremely difficult to deal with. Since it is difficult to eliminate them, why not lead them elsewhere?"

Xu Chenglin asked this question subconsciously, but Lu Yan on the side was thoughtful.

"Lead them elsewhere..."

As he muttered these words, Lu Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and in an instant he seemed to have grasped something key.

Before Lu Yan could continue thinking, Zhou Heng spoke.

"Maybe it can be done to lure the Purple Jade Bee away."

His face became a little weird, and he looked at Wang Chuan and Lu Yan with a bit of laughter. Apparently he was thinking of something at this moment. It seemed that this matter was related to the three of them, and it was a quite ridiculous thing.

"Oh? Brother Zhou, is there anything you can do?"

When Xu Chenglin heard that something could be done, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Heng anxiously.

"Bees have the habit of collecting pollen. The pollen will turn into royal jelly in the hive and contribute it to their queen bee. So for them, if there is anything that is most attractive to them, then it is the royal jelly contributed to the queen bee.

We don’t have the royal jelly of the Purple Jade Bee, but don’t forget that I come from the Phantom Cult. It should still be possible to prepare some drugs that can attract these guys.”

"Yes, that's it!"

Mentioned by Zhou Heng

When she woke up, Lu Yan also reacted. The light in her mind was what Zhou Heng said.

"Previously, the few of us were over the top. Instead, we ignored the most primitive principles, and we cannot outwit them. In the spiritual practice world, strength is respected and others are secondary. Preconceived notions are really harmful to people."

Zhou Heng's words made Wang Chuan and Lu Yan fall into deep thought. The concept of strength being respected in the spiritual world was deeply ingrained in their minds, and they always believed that power could solve everything.

Strength can solve everything. The premise of this conclusion is that the only competition is strength. Few people who can embark on the path of spiritual practice are brainless and reckless. The human mind is born for thinking. When it is invincible,

Using wisdom is a good solution.

Xu Chenglin was also deeply touched. He has always won several shots, and there are shadows of his own wisdom behind him.

Strong strength is the prerequisite, and wisdom is the guarantee. The most labor-saving battle is to fight wits rather than strength. It seems that the principle he has always implemented has a certain truth.

There are many sects in the world, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Jiuhua Academy is good at swordsmanship, while Phantom Sect is good at medicine and poison.

The Phantom Sect's skills are elegant and dexterous, so their strength on this mountain is relatively limited, but their medical and poison skills are not restricted.

Although medical skills and poison skills are part of the Phantom Sect's strength, their skills are usually sufficient to cope with them.

As time went by, many Phantom Sect disciples could not remember to use medical skills and poison skills. However, facing the purple jade bee swarm blocking the road, using medical skills and poison skills was undoubtedly the best way.

"It seems like we really have to accompany fellow Taoist Xu on the journey!"

Lu Yan said softly, and then she turned her eyes to Zhou Heng and Wang Chuan.

Zhou Heng nodded, obviously agreeing. If he could divert the purple jade bee swarm, he would also like to go to the top of the mountain to have a look.

Wang Chuan did not speak, just stroking the light blue flying sword with his hand. Obviously, it was the task of Zhou Heng and Lu Yan to prepare something to attract the purple jade ice bees, and his task was to use the flying sword in his hand to

Break through all obstacles in front of you.

Xu Chenglin looked at Wang Chuan who was silent, then raised his eyes to observe the flying sword in his hand, and a weird idea appeared in his mind.

"This guy seems to have a similar personality to Cheng Hongming. Both of them practice the art of flying swords. Could it be that people who practice flying swords have the same personality? Or is it because they practice the art of flying swords that they have such silent personalities?"

As if he could tell what Xu Chenglin was thinking, Zhou Heng smiled slightly and whispered to him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please don't be offended. Junior Brother Wang has always had a cold personality and avoids contact with others easily. This has nothing to do with anything else and is entirely due to his personality."

"I see."

Xu Chenglin nodded and didn't say anything else. He felt relaxed, and at the same time he was secretly cursing.

"As long as it's not because of the Flying Sword Technique! I don't want to become a silent person after practicing the Flying Sword Technique in the future."

Watching Lu Yan find an open space and prepare herself, Zhou Heng clasped his fists slightly at Xu Chenglin.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please wait a moment. We will have the results in half an hour."

"Sorry to bother you."

Xu Chenglin returned the salute and nodded slightly to several people. The latter smiled softly and walked towards Lu Yan.

Xu Chenglin could not intervene in what happened next. It was boring to be idle anyway, so he walked towards the two of them. Xu Chenglin was also quite curious about the medical and poisonous skills of the Phantom Sect.
