In the following months, Li Ling would often go to the Sutra Pavilion to search for some useful books and knowledge. After several months of unremitting efforts, Li Ling learned a lot of useful knowledge from many books.
When Li Ling encounters something he doesn't understand, he will keep it in his mind and ponder it day and night. But there are some things that he can't figure out even if he ponders them day and night, so Li Ling will give up.
But peaceful days were few after all. Three months later, Tianji Sect issued an announcement, asking Tianji Sect disciples to find a Nanshan fairy grass in the back mountain of Tianji Sect within one month. The first person to find it would be the one who found it.
Reward a Yulin Fairy Fruit.
"Yulin Fairy Fruit, after eating it, your fairy energy will increase by three Jiazi. It is really the best among fairy fruits."
Many disciples began to discuss, and everyone's thoughts fell on the Yulin Immortal Fruit.
Li Ling also read the announcement carefully and became curious about the Nanshan Xiancao. Why did Tianji Sect ask everyone to go to the back mountain to look for Nanshan Xiancao for no reason?
Moreover, Li Ling had seen the introduction of Nanshan Xiancao in books. Nanshan Xiancao is a herb that looks like ginseng grass. It grows in damp places all year round. It is very rare. There is often only one plant within a hundred miles. As for
The effect of Nanshan Xiancao is not clearly recorded in the book. It is only said that Nanshan Xiancao is a rare medicinal material.
Li Ling wrote down the announcement and was about to leave when someone tapped his shoulder behind him. Li Ling was shocked when he saw a smiling young man with thick eyebrows saying to Li Ling: "I know you."
Li Ling was patted on the shoulder so affectionately and became curious. Then he asked: "Do you know me? Why do you know me? Have you met me?"
"Well...you also participated in the recruitment of preparatory disciples that day," the young man said.
Li Ling nodded and said, "I have participated."
"Yes, I am the one who participated in the recruitment together with you. It's just that you entered the official discipleship program before me, and I entered after you." The young man said with a smile.
It has been half a year since Li Ling entered Tianji Sect. It is really not easy for this young man to become an official disciple in half a year.
"There were so many people at that time that I didn't notice it. I'm sorry." Li Ling said with an apologetic smile.
"It doesn't matter. At that time, you played before me and entered Tianjimen before me. You didn't know that I was normal. However, now I want to be friends with you. My name is Gongsun Baiyu, what is your name?" Gongsun Baiyu said to him.
Li Ling said with a friendly smile.
"My name is Li Ling." Li Ling replied with a smile.
"Yes. I will call you Brother Li Ling from now on. Brother Li Ling, are you interested in this Yulin Fairy Fruit?" Gongsun Baiyu said to Li Ling.
Everyone came here for the Yulin Fairy Fruit. Of course, Li Ling couldn't be different from others, so he naturally smiled and replied: "I am also very interested in the Yulin Fairy Fruit."
"That's good, why don't we two go look for the Nanshan fairy grass together. After we find the fairy grass, we will share half of the credit. Then you and I will share the Yulin fairy fruit. Half for each person, that's half a century of fairy energy."
Gongsun Baiyu said with a smile.
Li Ling always liked to act alone. But Gongsun Baiyu was so enthusiastic that Li Ling couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
A few days later, many disciples gathered on the back mountain platform of Tianji Peak. Everyone was waiting for the elder's instructions before setting off to find Nanshan Xiancao. Tianji Peak spans thousands of miles. Since Nanshan Xiancao is within a hundred miles, there will be one.
If there are several strains, then the scope of the search will generally be within a hundred miles.
Li Ling saw that the elder was an old man who was tens of thousands of years old. People who cultivated in this immortal world and could become elders in a sect were mostly very old and could stand out.
A few people, because most people, will die at the disciple level.
After the elder said some words of advice, hundreds of Tianji Sect disciples swarmed out and flew towards the back mountain of Tianji Peak.
Tianji Peak itself is 100,000 feet high, and the back mountain is even wider. As soon as Li Ling entered the back mountain, he was surrounded by lush vegetation. Li Ling walking in this forest felt like he was walking in a primeval forest.
"Li Ling, why didn't you wait for me?" Gongsun Baiyu chased after him from behind.
Li Ling was almost forgotten by Gongsun Baiyu, so he stopped and waited for Gongsun Baiyu to catch up.
Gongsun Baiyu's face turned red as he chased after him, which showed that his own cultivation of immortal energy was not very good. As for the fact that he liked to pester him, he probably wanted to see that he had a Jin Ling magic weapon that he could rely on when something went wrong.
Li Ling and other Gongsun Baiyu caught up, and the two of them searched for the shadow of Nanshan fairy grass in the forest.
"Li Ling, do you know what the Nanshan fairy grass looks like?" Gongsun Baiyu asked.
"Well, I saw it in a book. It looks a bit like ginseng grass." Li Ling described the appearance of Nanshan jelly grass to Gongsun Baiyu.
"It looks like ginseng grass, so that's okay. It's more special and easier to find." Gongsun Baiyu said with a slight smile.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. There is usually only one Nanshan fairy grass within a hundred miles. This thing is still very rare." Li Ling said.
The two of them stopped talking, but searched piece by piece. The back mountain of Tianji Peak is very large, and the vegetation is extremely lush. Walking through it requires overcoming thorns and thorns.
After searching for ten miles, there was still no Nanshan fairy grass. Li Ling and Gongsun Baiyu were both very tired. Gongsun Baiyu gasped and said: "It's really not possible anymore. Look, it's getting dark. We might as well find one."
Let’s take a rest first.”
Li Ling pushed aside some grass and stepped into this grassy area. This grassy area was very large. Li Ling found an open space in this grassy area and vaguely felt that there seemed to be some strange creature crawling in this grassy area.
.
Li Ling stopped Gongsun Baiyu from moving forward and glanced at Gongsun Baiyu. Gongsun Baiyu was startled and noticed something strange in the grass.
"What's there?" Gongsun Baiyu was about to say, but was stopped by Li Ling.
Li Ling stared at the grass and stepped forward lightly. It was the middle of the night and everything was dark. Under the illumination of the moon, he could barely see some things clearly.
The grass began to move, and the creature slowly moved forward in the grass. Li Ling seized the opportunity, pushed aside the grass, and swooped down. Gongsun Baiyu also followed immediately.
Li Ling flew down and hugged the huge body. It turned out to be a huge lizard more than three meters long.
The lizard's eyes were glowing green, and its whole body was covered with black scales. Its huge head kept shaking, and it wanted to throw Li Ling off its body, but Li Ling's arms and legs clamped tightly on the lizard. He wouldn't let it go.
The lizard threw himself down.
After Gongsun Baiyu saw the lizard, he also wandered around, trying to find an opportunity to catch the lizard. But in desperation, Gongsun Baiyu reached out and grabbed the lizard's tail, but the lizard's tail was extremely powerful, and Gongsun Baiyu was instantly beaten.
Bai Yu fell several meters away.
Gongsun Baiyu got up again and ate a fairy fruit. He recovered some of his fairy power and hugged the lizard's tail again. This time he was not thrown out by the lizard.
"Li Ling, why did we mess with this lizard?" Gongsun Baiyu felt a little confused.
"We have walked for so long without seeing a creature. Now that there is such a big lizard, it is obviously abnormal. Moreover, Nanshan fairy grass is so rare. Rare things must be surrounded by spiritual beasts to guard them. This lizard may be
Where is the guardian of the Nanshan fairy grass?" Li Ling guessed.
Gongsun Baiyu was immediately speechless.
"Guessing is not the truth. What should we do now that we have offended this guy?" Gongsun Baiyu hugged his tail with great difficulty.
"What can we do? Subdue this guy and let him lead the way?" Li Ling said.
"What if this guy takes us into the lizard cave?" Gongsun Baiyu said with bared teeth.
If they were taken into the Lizard Cave, it would indeed be enough for two people to eat a pot.
"We'll talk about it then." Li Ling took out a very long vine, passed it directly through the lizard's nose, and tied it tightly, like a horse rein.
As soon as Li Ling pulled the vine, the lizard screamed and swung its body in pain. After swinging for a moment, it settled down.
When Li Ling saw that he had subdued the huge lizard, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Gongsun Baiyu, who was hugging the lizard's tail from behind, also touched the sweat on his forehead.
"If it weren't for the Yulin Fairy Fruit, who would fight so hard." Gongsun Baiyu touched his sweat and jumped on the lizard's back.
The lizard carried the two of them and walked in the grass.
The moonlight is miserable now, and there will be some dark wind blowing in the grass from time to time. This area is very cold and humid. Li Ling feels that this place is very suitable for the growth of Nanshan fairy grass.
The two of them were carried by the lizard and walked among the grass. After walking for about five miles, they came out of the grass area and found an area of chaos.
In this chaotic area, there is a lot of excrement. The excrement is purple-black and extremely smelly. There are some strange grasses growing on the excrement, but they are definitely not Nanshan fairy grass.
"Where is this lizard taking us?" Gongsun Baiyu asked doubtfully.
There are bare rocks all around, with few weeds. There are many holes on the rocks, and there are many termites in the holes.
Many animal skeletons can also be found in this rock pile. It can be seen that there are many predators in this area.
"I don't know." Li Ling replied simply.
Gongsun Baiyu vaguely felt something bad. There were many ferocious beasts in the back mountain of Tianji Peak. There would not be any terrible ferocious beasts in the rocks.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Baiyu had the urge to escape, but seeing that he had already entered the depths of the rock, his escape seemed a bit helpless. But seeing that Li Ling had no intention of escaping, he could only bite the bullet and continue on.
Walk inside.
After entering inside, Li Ling looked around a lot. Since he had cultivated the power of divination, he was able to discern something.
There seem to be a large number of creatures in this pile of rocks, which may be the lair of lizards.
After the lizard penetrated deep into the rock pile, from within the caves of the rocks, a pair of green lantern-like eyes stared intently at Li Ling and Gongsun Baiyu.
When Gongsun Baiyu saw so many green eyes around him, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He tugged on Li Ling's sleeve and said, "There are so many lizards."
"What are you afraid of? Can't we fly? If the lizard attacks, we will fly away." Li Ling said with a smile.
Gongsun Baiyu also nodded, but when Gongsun Baiyu raised his head to look at the sky, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Above the sky and under the moon, the huge group of vampire bats were scurrying around in the sky, looking for
Food to eat.
"Oh my god. There are so many vampire bats in the sky. It seems like they can't fly." Gongsun Baiyu said.
"Calm down, don't get confused, I think Nanshan Fairy Grass is nearby." Li Ling frowned and looked around.
"Nanshan fairy grass can be found in a place like this?" Gongsun Baiyu said in disbelief.
"Yes, this place meets the conditions for the growth of Nanshan Xiancao. Moreover, the reason why these lizards gather here is obviously because of Nanshan Xiancao." Li Ling used celestial calculations and kept calculating in his mind.
The probability of Nanshan Xiancao appearing in these four weeks.
Gongsun Baiyu was frightened by the lizards around him, and his face was miserable. After all, the number of lizards here was too huge. If they swarmed up, it would be strange if the two of them were not torn apart.
"For Nanshan Xiancao, our lives are probably at risk." Gongsun Baiyu was so frightened that his teeth chattered.
Li Ling focused on looking for the Nanshan fairy grass, but ignored the lizards that were gradually approaching around him.
None of those lizards were smaller than the lizard Li Ling sat down on. Each lizard opened its huge mouth and stared at the two intruders, Li Ling and Gongsun Baiyu, drooling.
Gongsun Baiyu could already imagine the situation when he was swallowed by a lizard. Before the lizard came close, Gongsun Baiyu ate almost all the fairy fruits. He hoped that he could fight with a lot of fairy energy.
Li Ling relied on divine calculations to vaguely feel the exact location of Nanshan Xiancao, so he drove the sitting lizard forward quickly. After passing through several piles of rocks, he came to an empty space surrounded by rocks in front of him.
On the ground, there is a fairy grass growing. On the grass, there are crisp green leaves and bright red fruits.
"That's Nanshan Immortal Grass." Li Ling pointed to the half-meter-high grass path ahead.
"Oh..." Gongsun Baiyu was not concerned about the Nanshan Immortal Grass at this moment, but he kept looking around, always wary of those lizards that would attack.
Li Ling rode a lizard and climbed up to the Nanshan Immortal Grass and got down from the lizard. Gongsun Baiyu followed Li Ling obediently.
The closer Li Ling got to the Nanshan fairy grass, the more terrifying the lizards around him made. The sounds were made from the throat below the mouth.
Gongsun Baiyu said tremblingly: "Those guys seem to be very friendly."
Li Ling patted Gongsun Baiyu on the shoulder and said, "After we pull out the Nanshan fairy grass, these guys will be even more unfriendly."
"No." Gongsun Baiyu couldn't believe it.
"Haha, I will." Li Ling smiled slightly.
"Then let's not pull it out and leave here quickly." Gongsun Baiyu said with teeth chattering.
"We have no way back." Li Ling held the Nanshan fairy grass in his hand, and with a strong force, the Nanshan fairy grass was pulled up by Li Ling's roots.
As soon as the Nanshan fairy grass was pulled out, the green eyes of the surrounding lizards turned blood red and full of hostility.
Just like what Li Ling said, those lizards are going crazy.
"It's terrible." Gongsun Baiyu's forehead was dripping with sweat.
"Haha, run away now." Li Ling pulled Gongsun Baiyu, got on the lizard, pulled up the vine that tied the lizard, and said with a burst of laughter: "Let's go."
The lizards from all around continued to gather, and the lizards from the entire rock pile surrounded Li Ling and Gongsun Baiyu, leaving the two of them with almost nowhere to escape.
"It's over, we are surrounded." Gongsun Baiyu was so frightened that he almost collapsed.
Li Ling grabbed the lizard and rushed towards the group of lizards.
Seeing the lizards charging towards them in such an exaggerated manner, the group of lizards saw that they were the same kind, and even hesitated to attack. However, the Nanshan fairy grass in Li Ling's hand finally aroused the ferocity of the group, making the group of lizards even more aggressive.
The lizards that ignored Li Ling and sat down crawled over and started biting the lizard that sat down at Li Ling.
The lizard that Li Ling sat down also went crazy, slapping its tail and knocking away the lizards that came around, but after all, the number of lizards on the other side was too large. A crazy lizard opened its mouth and bit the tail of the lizard that Li Ling sat down, squeaking
With a sound, the tail was torn off.
Blood flowed like a stream. Li Ling sat down and the lizard screamed in pain. Suddenly the lizard in front of him also crawled over and bit the head of the lizard that Li Ling sat down. Blood flowed like a river.
"This lizard can't hold on anymore Li Ling." Gongsun Baiyu screamed in horror.
"Fly close to the ground." Li Ling said to Gongsun Baiyu.
Li Ling gathered his immortal energy and rose into the sky. He started flying ten meters above the ground. Gongsun Baiyu flew behind Li Ling, and the two of them flew among the rocks.
The lizards below all used two huge feet to bounce into the air. The jumping power of this group of lizards is really strong, and they can even reach ten meters high in one bounce.
A lizard bounced towards Li Ling. Li Ling dodged and was almost bitten on the lower body by the lizard.
"Fly a little higher, Li Ling." Gongsun Baiyu said.
"No, there are vampire bats in the sky. If you fly high, it will attract the attention of those vampire bats." Li Ling had a good calculation and could naturally estimate the detection range of the group of bats.
Vampire bats do indeed fly above a hundred meters in the air. But if Li Ling flew a little higher, he would definitely fly within the hunting range of vampire bats.
The lizards below seemed to be going crazy, constantly bouncing, and most of their targets were focused on Li Ling, because Li Ling was holding the Nanshan fairy grass in his hand.
"Gongsun Baiyu, you go first, these lizards will only attack the person holding the Nanshan fairy grass." Li Ling used his calculations to discover this secret.
Gongsun Baiyu also saw it. Although Gongsun Baiyu followed Li Ling, the group of lizards did not attack him, but attacked Li Ling.
Out of morality, Gongsun Baiyu did not abandon Li Ling, even though he was so frightened that he peed his ass.
"I won't leave. I'll help you resist here." Gongsun Baiyu kicked another lizard on the back. He kicked the lizard, but he couldn't hook Li Ling.
Li Ling also smiled helplessly.
This rock pile is quite vast. It can be said that Li Ling and Gongsun Baiyu flew for most of the night before leaving here. When the sun rose, the group of lizards returned to their own caves.
Li Ling took the Nanshan fairy grass and landed in the grass, panting slightly. Yesterday's flight and the battle with the lizard consumed most of Li Ling's fairy energy. Li Ling took out a fairy fruit from his arms and ate it.
, and only replenished one-third of yesterday’s immortal energy.
"I have another fairy fruit here, you can eat it." Gongsun Baiyu saw that Li Ling was consuming a lot of fairy energy, so he gave his fairy fruit to Li Ling.
Li Ling took the fairy fruit and ate it without any courtesy.
"I didn't expect that we could really find Nanshan Immortal Grass. I hope we will be the first." Gongsun Baiyu said with a smile.
"It's only the second day, we must be the first to get the Nanshan Fairy Grass. Let's go back and hand in the mission." Li Ling chuckled.
Just as Li Ling was about to hand in the task, four people suddenly flew over from a distance, each with a sinister smile on their face.
Those four people had obviously been following Li Ling and the two for a long time, and they saw with their own eyes that Li Ling was led into the pile of rocks by the lizard.
Four people surrounded Li Ling and Gongsun Baiyu.
"Boy, what you are holding in your hand is Nanshan Xiancao." The leader of the four said.
Li Ling knew that the purpose of these four people was to snatch the Nanshan Xiancao from Li Ling's hands.
"What are you going to do?" Gongsun Baiyu became alert.
"What are we going to do? Haha, Senior Brother Liu, he asked us what we are going to do?" The man on the left sneered, looking extremely unkind.
"That's a good question. We are here to snatch the Nanshan Xiancao from your hands. If you are wise, we will hand over the Nanshan Xiancao obediently. Otherwise, don't blame us for not respecting the friendship between the same sect." The leader of the four people said.
A senior brother named Liu curled his lips and smiled.
Li Ling looked at the people around him coldly, knowing that it would be difficult to fight two against four, but how could he just hand over the Nanshan fairy grass that he had finally obtained to others casually.
"Aren't you afraid that the elders of Tianji Sect will find out if you do this?" Li Ling said.
"Haha... Boy, how can the elders of Tianji Sect care about such things? Is this your first day out?" The senior brother named Liu glanced at Li Ling with contempt.
"Since there are no rules, then let's fight. Anyway, no one will blame you. If I kill the four of you, no one will blame you." Li Ling's eyes were filled with deep murderous intent.
The four of them were startled by Li Ling's look. The senior brother named Liu snorted coldly and said: "What a strong tone. The four of us can't handle you two. Let's see who kills whom?"
Gongsun Baiyu pulled Li Ling and said: "Li Ling, why not give them the Nanshan fairy grass? After all, your life is the most important."
When Senior Brother Liu saw Gongsun Baiyu's soft words, he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Look, this young Junior Brother is so sensible. Boy, you'd better hand over the Nanshan Immortal Grass obediently, otherwise, I really won't be able to do anything for you."
Have mercy."
During this period of dialogue, Li Ling had been using celestial calculations to gain insight into the weaknesses of the other four people. During this period of dialogue, Li Ling had already mastered part of the information about the other party.
"I will return this sentence to you. If you continue to be entangled like this, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Ling said with a sneer. (To be continued...)
