There is another thing worth mentioning, that is, the Jiamu thorn seeds. Every monk has these small cyan seeds in his storage bag. The monk named Yu has the most cyan seeds in his storage bag, with fifty or sixty.
Chu Chen has personally experienced the power of this thing. It is very impressive. Even though it is just a small seed, if spiritual power is injected into it, it can form a thick and sharp red thorn, and the hardness is extremely high. It can not even activate the sword.
Even Mang's white jade flying sword couldn't cut through this thing.
A fourth-level monster has been hit by a few of these seeds, and it will be difficult to escape for a while. Speaking of which, this method is somewhat similar to Chu Chen's Crazy Wood Devouring Orchid Technique, but the latter is far more powerful than the former.
Even so, this thing is very effective when used to deal with enemies. It is at least one level better than the magic talisman. After all, I have learned the second level of the Crazy Wood Devouring Lan technique, which consumes a lot of mana and takes a long time to cast.
Chu Chen even specifically asked Liu Xiao about this, feeling half happy and half worried. Liu Xiao sorted out the memories of the monk surnamed Yu.
It was learned that there is indeed a place for planting the Jiamu thorn seeds, but it is in a certain area of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, and naturally Chu Chen cannot set foot there.
However, ordinary first-wood thorn seeds cannot be turned into bloody thorns, and a refining and catalytic method is needed. After this method, the first-wood thorns will become the extremely offensive first-wood thorns in Chu Chen's hands.
, the monk surnamed Yu also got this refining method by chance.
The monk surnamed Yu had a very deep memory about this method, so Liu Xiao simply told Chu Chen the refining method.
I can't get this thing now, but I might have a chance to get it in the future. Chu Chen wrote down the method of refining the armor wood thorns.
After that, the two began to search for the monks in the mountain. It could also be said to be a one-sided hunting operation, but this time it was not a monster, but a human monk!
The target is late-stage foundation-building monks, and they also have to be female monks, which is quite difficult. Among the monks, the number of female monks is far less than that of male monks. Just like the team led by the monk named Yu just now, all of them are male monks.
It is not easy to find female monks in the late stage of foundation building, but in the memory of monk surnamed Yu, there are still a few monks who can enter the mountains and meet these conditions. It will take a few days to find these people in these huge mountains.
One of them is quite difficult.
And in the later period, the monks may go to Lingwu Canyon to gamble their luck.
Fortunately, the movement speed of the two of them is extremely fast, much faster than that of ordinary late-stage monks. With this speed, they should be able to travel around these mountains in a few days.
Chu Chen, Liu Xiao and the two were walking quickly in the mountains, and a day had passed without realizing it.
Along the way, the two met a lot of monks. They were basically small teams of a few monks or even large groups of dozens of monks. There were very few monks acting alone.
Alone and alone, there is no guarantee that a group of monks will not kill him and seize the treasure.
Even if they are from the same sect, this kind of behavior is not uncommon.
Many monks discovered the two people who were running quickly. Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were so fast that these monks couldn't catch up. In addition, due to the two people's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, no team dared to come up to look for them.
.
On the way, Chu Chen also discovered that there were many spiritual grasses growing in this mountain range, but most of them grew in some very inconspicuous places.
But in terms of grade and age, it is far inferior to the spiritual grass growing in Lingwu Canyon.
Chu Chen did not stop to collect it. Although it felt a bit wasteful, time was still tight at the moment and he had no time to do these things. Besides, it was not an eye-catching magical herb.
These monks all have the same purpose, which is to collect a sufficient quantity and age of spiritual herbs in the mountains in order to obtain a good ranking in the sect competition.
Spiritual Medicine Mountain is rich and powerful, and the rewards in the sect competition can be said to make all the disciples jealous, including various high-grade spiritual weapons, pill furnaces and other things, as well as rewards for high-grade spiritual grass and even thousand-year-old spiritual grass.
The top five monks will also be rewarded with spirit-boosting pills!
How can this not be exciting? Some late-stage foundation-building monks with short lifespan basically went to Lingwu Canyon to try their luck. Even if there is only a slight chance of forming a golden elixir, they must fight for it!
Over the course of the day, although the two met many monks, only a few of them were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. As for the female monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, there was even less of them.
Liu Xiao really underestimated the difficulty of finding people. It seems that there are quite a few monks going to Lingwu Canyon.
The geographical scope of Lingwu Canyon is much larger than these mountains. At the current speed, it may take ten days and a half to turn around, not to mention the hordes of monsters and dangers.
Seeing that he couldn't find the target, Liu Xiao became a little anxious. The two discussed it for a while and simply patrolled back and forth at the exit of the canyon, hoping to find the monks returning from the canyon.
However, the area at the exit is also very wide, and it would take half a day to complete the straight road.
Finally, one day later at dusk, Chu Chen and Liu Xiao found their target!
It was almost dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and the shadows of the trees were dim. Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were walking quickly through the forest.
At this moment, Chu Chen suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Liu Xiao also stopped.
After stopping for a few breaths, Chu Chen whispered to Liu Xiao beside him: "Here they come! There are still four of them!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiao's pretty face showed surprise. She had been searching for so long but couldn't find it. Could it be that four late-stage foundation-building female monks suddenly appeared at this moment?
Looking at Chu Chen's serious gaze, Liu Xiao didn't have the slightest doubt, and immediately put on a posture of fending off the enemy.
Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness was stronger and he was the first to notice the four monks in front of him. The four monks seemed to be heading this way quickly.
Liu Xiao also felt the presence of the four monks, and his spiritual consciousness could vaguely take a look. Judging from their body shape, they were indeed good female cultivators.
The two stood still, waiting for the four people to come to the door.
This place happens to be a mountain stream, with sparse tree shadows and a relatively wide terrain.
The speed of the four monks was also extremely fast, and they could be seen visually in just a moment.
Seen from a distance, the four female cultivators all have the same attire. They are all wearing yellow shirts. They have pretty looks, and they all have cultivation levels in the late stage of foundation building.
The four of them also noticed the presence of Chu Chen and Liu Xiao, and couldn't help but stop.
"It's you!"
One of the girls, a slightly petite girl in a yellow shirt, pointed at Chu Chen with her bare fingers and made a sound in surprise.
Could it be that he was recognized? Chu Chen thought to himself, this idea only existed for a moment and was immediately rejected.
No! This person should know the monk named Yu whom he is currently playing. Chu Chen secretly thought.
Chu Chen just smiled lightly without saying anything. With the strength of Chu Chen and Liu Xiao, the four late-stage foundation-building monks had no problem at all in dealing with the four late-stage monks.
But if you want to catch them all, you have to find a way to trap them first. It would be bad if someone escapes.
Chu Chen was about to draw the flying sword, but he saw the girl in yellow shirt walking towards him without any warning. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Could it be that she was an acquaintance.
"Senior Brother Yu, didn't you say you wouldn't go to the canyon? Why did you appear here?" the girl in yellow shirt asked calmly.
Liu Xiao on the side had a teasing look on his face. In his memory, it turned out that the monk named Yu had an ambiguous relationship with the female cultivator in front of him.
"Hmph, who are you? What's wrong with Senior Brother Yu appearing here? Senior Brother wants to accompany me to this Lingwu Canyon, and he will protect me!"
Liu Xiao immediately walked to Chu Chen and gently hugged Chu Chen's arm with her bare hands, pretending to be like a little bird.
The appearance of Liu Xiao's face has also changed slightly, and the conspicuous red lines between her eyebrows have also disappeared, losing her coldness. At first glance, she looks very petite and cute.
"Well......"
Chu Chen was confused and couldn't figure out the situation at all. He couldn't help but be speechless and didn't speak.
When the girl in yellow shirt saw this, her little face suddenly became gloomy and her expression was extremely ugly.
"Senior Brother Yu, who is this person?" The girl in yellow shirt asked coldly.
Chu Chen was speechless, his expression became a little strange, and there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere. What on earth was this? He couldn't understand it at all.
But looking at it this way, it seemed like Liu Xiao was teasing the woman in front of him.
Liu Xiao glanced at the girl in yellow and snorted: "Me? I'm his Taoist companion!"
"Not bad." Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
"What! No, how is that possible!"
The girl in the yellow shirt took a few steps back, her face instantly turned pale, with a look of disbelief.
"Yu Zhong! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
"You dare to lie to my junior sister, don't even think about leaving today!"
"What nonsense? Let's teach him a lesson first!"
The three female monks behind him looked angry, and one more excited female monk had already drawn his flying sword and stared at Chu Chen with gritted teeth.
The girl in yellow shirt shook her head: "Senior sister, I want to handle this matter myself. You should go back first. My little sister will arrive soon."
Seeing the lonely and solemn look in the girl's eyes, the three female cultivators were reluctant, but they couldn't refuse.
"Okay! Junior sister, if something happens, just let us know directly using the transmission talisman, and we will come right away."
"Junior sister, we won't get involved in your affairs anymore, but I still want to say, what's so good about this guy named Yu? Junior sister, don't get entangled with him anymore!"
"Okay, okay! Since junior sister said so, let's not interfere and let's go."
The three female cultivators said a few words, nodded to the girl in yellow shirt, then walked forward and left the place quickly.
When passing by Chu Chen and Liu Xiao, Chu Chen only felt three cold and stern glances at him.
Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged, but he finally cleared his mind and vaguely understood the relationship between the female cultivator and Yu Zhong, whom he played.
Seeing the woman in yellow in front of him staring at him with a resentful look, Chu Chen was moved in his heart and couldn't bear it, feeling that he might not be able to do it.
After the three of them walked away, the girl spoke quietly, pointed at Liu Xiao and said, "Senior Brother Yu, let me ask you again, is this person really your Taoist companion?"
"Didn't I already tell you that she is Yu's Taoist companion?" Chu Chen said calmly.
"You...you, why did you lie to me before!" The girl's face was pale, tears appeared in her eyes, and her petite body was trembling.
From this look, it seems that this woman is really obsessed with this Yu Zhong monk, Liu Xiao secretly thought.
However, the Yu Zhong in Liu Xiao's memory was greedy for life and fearful of death, and was very mean and despicable. To actually like such a person was really blind. Liu Xiao couldn't help but shake his head.
Seeing Chu Chen's look, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, Liu Xiao sighed softly, looking at the heartbroken girl in yellow shirt in front of him, his murderous intention disappeared, his face turned cold, and then he said calmly: "This person is not worthy of you at all.
If you like it, please leave quickly."
"You..." The girl was stunned and was about to speak.
"Hey! Idiot, let's leave quickly. Forget about this guy and find someone else!" Liu Xiao patted Chu Chen and frowned.
