His master Gu Chenxiao told him not to use foreign objects as much as possible.
At least Chen Xuan would never take the so-called foundation-building pill when he was rebuilding his foundation.
Next, Chen Xuan chatted with five casual cultivators and learned a lot of basic knowledge about the world of mountains and seas and cultivation through their mouths.
However, Chen Xuan spoke so impeccably that the five casual cultivators only regarded him as a young casual cultivator who ran away from a remote village.
As for the Xuanyuan Sword that Chen Xuan was carrying, it had been wrapped in black cloth. The five of them just thought it was an ordinary long sword and didn't ask any questions.
Just like this, they went all the way south, spending seven days and walking nearly 10,000 miles. The six people finally walked out of the Tianjue Mountains and arrived at the endless Split Cloud Valley with cliffs on both sides that were at least five or six thousand miles wide.
At this point, Chen Xuan knew that the realm of mountains and seas was vast and boundless. The vast mountains between Tianjue Mountain and Rifting Cloud Valley stretched thousands of miles across, but in the entire realm of mountains and seas, it was only a small corner.
Standing on the cliff of the Split Cloud Valley, looking around, the clouds and mist are vast and endless, and the wind is howling and stirring endlessly. The low-level monks are likely to fall into the valley if they are not careful due to the natural wind in the valley.
Shattered to pieces.
Fortunately, after arriving at the cliff of Riyun Valley, we were no longer tortured by the biting wind and snow of the Tianjue Mountains. This valley and the Tianjue Mountains seemed to be in two seasons, one winter and one summer. Under the bright sun, Chen Xuan looked through the
Under the sea of clouds, you can vaguely see the lush greenery in the valley, and there are all kinds of colorful mountain flowers, which are really beautiful.
Of course, Chen Xuan knew that the magnificent scenery was just the surface of the Split Cloud Valley, and there were many sinister plots hidden in the valley. With his cultivation level, it would be difficult to deal with even a ferocious beast. After all, the beasts in the mountains and seas world are not the same as those on the earth.
It's completely different. Bathed in a high concentration of spiritual energy from heaven and earth right after birth, even a pig can grow into an elephant.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the Split Cloud Valley. Be careful when we go down. We must pay attention to the steepness of the mountain and beware of the beasts in the valley and other monks collecting herbs."
Zou Ran said and handed Chen Xuan some spare climbing tools, a small iron hoe for picking herbs, and a bag of herbs.
This can be considered as repayment for Chen Xuan's help.
"Thank you."
Chen Xuan took the tool over politely.
He can use Qinggong to get down the cliff, but when he is with these casual cultivators, he should try to keep a low profile.
The five casual cultivators were not prepared to use the escape technique, because it would consume mana. According to their plan, they would have to stay in the Cloud Valley for at least several months, and in the valley they would have to deal with attacks from wild beasts or some monks with ill intentions at any time.
, so try to conserve your strength.
Zou Ran chose a cliff that was not so steep, but a slope, and took the lead in climbing down.
Chen Xuan and four other casual cultivators followed one after another. When they reached a relatively gentle area, the five of them stopped and began to collect medicinal herbs in a small area.
Although the herbs in the mountains and seas are different from those on earth, after some consultation and because he is sensitive to herbs, Chen Xuan quickly remembered the names and shapes of several herbs.
In the 100-foot-long area of the Split Cloud Valley from top to bottom, the three most common medicinal herbs are yellow beard grass, five-color flower and cloud grass.
These three herbs can be exchanged for spiritual stones, the common currency in the world of mountains and seas, and every ten herbs can be exchanged for one low-grade spiritual stone.
Of course Chen Xuan's goal was to find herbs that could be exchanged for the thirteenth-level Qi-refining skills, but when he saw yellow beard grass, five-color flowers and cloud-cloud grass, he still refused to accept them.
Among the six casual cultivators, Chen Xuan has the clairvoyant pupil, the best eyesight, and the fastest search speed for medicinal herbs. The six of them searched separately. Chen Xuan did not have to worry about the fact that the five casual cultivators discovered that he searched quickly.
Therefore, in a short period of time, we collected three types of medicinal herbs, totaling more than 40 plants.
At such a speed, if he stayed here for a few months, he would have a considerable amount of spiritual stone assets.
If there are more spirit stones, they can also be exchanged for Qi refining period exercises, so Chen Xuan is very patient and feels that it is okay to stay in Split Cloud Valley for a few months.
But the good times did not last long. The three kinds of medicinal herbs in this small area were not as many as Chen Xuan imagined. He could not leave the five casual cultivators too far to explore unknown and dangerous areas alone. He had to stay with the five casual cultivators at all times.
In a circle where we can support each other.
The frequency of medicinal herbs appearing became lower, and Chen Xuan could only suppress his temper and continue to search. When a Ningyun grass appeared five or six meters in front of him, Feng Shi's voice suddenly came from the left: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I will take this Ningyun grass first."
I’m sorry to see that.”
I saw Feng Shi taking a few steps ahead, picking the Ningyun Grass into his hand, and smiled slightly at Chen Xuan to express his apology.
Chen Xuan didn't say anything, and turned around to continue searching. Anyway, he didn't lack this herb.
But just as he found a yellow beard grass, he heard Feng Shi's voice again: "I'm so sorry, Fellow Daoist Chen, I saw this yellow beard grass first too."
This time, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, and at the moment Feng Shi was about to pick the medicinal herbs, he picked the yellow beard in his hand.
He finally figured out that this Feng Shi was a man who was greedy for petty gains. He could see that he was quick in collecting medicines, so he followed him deliberately.
Seeing the herbs being picked by Chen Xuan, Feng Shi's smile faltered slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are being a little unreasonable. I obviously saw this herb first."
"But does it have your name on it?"
Chen Xuan responded with a half-smile.
When Feng Shi heard what Chen Xuan said, he was obviously unwilling to give up the medicinal herbs: "Okay, okay, I'll give you this herb. Let's go together to collect herbs. I don't want to ruin the harmony."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Shi turned around and left.
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and continued to collect medicine.
After a few hours, night fell.
Chen Xuan and Zou Ran made a fire on the spot and gathered around the fire to rest for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I see that your first harvest of herbs was quite fruitful. Why don't you take it out and let us see how many plants you picked?"
As soon as Feng Shi sat down, he smiled and said to Chen Xuan.
When he said this, Zou Ran, Zhang Qing, Song Feng and Yan Meng all turned their eyes to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was thinking about whether to take out the medicinal herbs and show them to them. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and then a dozen monks holding torches came to Chen Xuan and the six of them.
"My Tianba Sect patrols and protects medicinal herbs from all parties day and night. In return, I charge you one-tenth of the herbs you collect every day. Why don't you hand over the herbs quickly?"
The person who came was very aggressive and his words were very domineering. He opened his mouth and asked for a tenth of the medicinal herbs.
Chen Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, this group of people were here to collect protection money.
When Zou Ran saw the person coming, his face turned ugly. He forced out a smile and said respectfully to the black-faced man who spoke: "Are you Senior Brother Yan from the Tianba Sect?
Didn't your sect only collect three herbs from each person a year ago?
Why have the rules changed again now?"
"You also know that it was a year ago. The Rift Cloud Valley changes every year. This year, how many ferocious beasts came up from the area below 200 feet or 300 feet. If our Tianbamen hadn't helped you herb collectors to block the ferocious beasts,
Can you collect medicines with peace of mind like now?"
Senior Brother Yan speaks aggressively and leaves no room for others.
Zou Ran didn't know whether what Senior Brother Yan said was true or not. The other party had a large number of people, so he could only admit defeat and hand over the herbs.
Several other casual cultivators were as sensible as Zou Ran, so they obediently took out the herbs in the bag and gave a tenth of it to these overbearing cultivators from the Tianbamen.
Only Chen Xuan did not move.
Senior Brother Yan's face instantly darkened.
Zou Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said to Chen Xuan: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Yan Du, who dominates the sect today, is an entry-level practitioner in the foundation building stage, and he also has a dozen disciples who are in the 80th or 90th level in the Qi refining stage. We can't afford to offend him.
