Xiangxi is one of the mysterious regions in China. Many people have heard of the legend of the Three Evils in Xiangxi, the art of exorcising corpses, the art of poison and the falling flower cave girl.
Although the economy here is relatively backward, it has excellent natural scenery and beautiful mountains and clear waters. Countless tourists come here every year for sightseeing.
Ye Bufan landed at the airport in Xiangxi City, then took a taxi to the outskirts of the city, and entered the vast Shiwan Mountain alone.
According to his idea, he wanted to find the soul-awakening grass by himself in the mountains, so that he could directly revive Wang Xuening without having to conflict with the officials.
It's a pity that the area in western Hunan is too big and has too many mountains. Even though he has spiritual consciousness, he can cover an area within 50 meters in a single walk.
But three days have passed, and still not even half of it has been completed, and there is no sign of the Soul-awakening Grass either.
However, the harvest was quite fruitful. In the past three days, he found countless rare medicinal materials and piled up a small mountain in the storage ring.
In the early morning of the fourth day, after Ye Bufan had a simple breakfast, he started wandering around the mountains again.
At this moment, he has completely penetrated into the mountains, a completely pristine natural environment, surrounded by various wild beasts, and not even a single person.
After walking for a while, he picked some rare medicinal materials one after another, and suddenly a strong fragrance came.
Ye Bufan's expression froze, this was the scent of a treasure that was ripe.
A medicinal material that can emit such a strong aroma must be extraordinary. Even if it is not a soul-awakening herb, it is definitely a good thing.
Thinking of this, he hurried forward following the scent, passed through two small woods, and came to the foot of a mountain.
Hearing the voices of people in front of him from a distance, he slowly stopped his steps. He didn't expect that there was someone here.
Ye Bufan restrained his breath and leaned forward bit by bit.
With his current cultivation level, coupled with the light-body technique of Shenlong Tianbu, he can walk without making any sound. If he hides it, it will be difficult for others to detect him.
He quietly climbed up a large leafy tree and looked down.
In front of me was a towering mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was a pool about a hundred meters in diameter. The water in the pool was bottomless, but as level as a mirror.
At the foot of the mountain opposite the pool, there is a small cave, and a very strange little tree grows in the cave.
It is weird because the small tree has no branches or leaves at all, only a bare trunk, and there are five red fruits on it, and the aroma is emitted by the fruits.
"Xuanyin Zhuguo?"
Ye Bufan was slightly surprised. He really didn't expect to meet such a thing here.
This kind of red fruit is definitely an extremely rare elixir, and its value is not inferior to that of the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Especially for those who practice Yin-type exercises, it has an excellent improvement effect.
He took a closer look and saw that the five fruits were now close to red, but there was still a little bit of green. It seemed that they were not far from being fully mature.
When the greenery fades completely, it will be fully mature.
At this moment, he had made up his mind to receive the fruit as soon as it ripened.
Then he looked towards the pool and saw three figures standing there, one woman and two men.
He was slightly startled when he saw the woman. She turned out to be an old acquaintance, Yin Sanniang of the Yin Ji Sect.
One of the two men had a bald head and the other had a big beard. They both had the aura of the Yinji Sect on their bodies. They seemed to be remnants of the Yinji Sect.
Yin Sanniang stood by the pool, looking at the five red fruits with a greedy look in her eyes.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, this is the Xuanyin Zhuguo I told you. As long as we hold this top-quality elixir in our hands, our cultivation will immediately break through the current bottleneck.
When I reach the level of a magic master, I will immediately cut that boy named Ye into pieces with a thousand knives."
Ye Bufan burst into laughter when he saw this woman mentioning that he was gnashing his teeth in hatred. It seemed that this woman had indeed hated him to the extreme.
The bald head glanced at Yin Sanniang and said with a lewd expression: "We are all a family, so why are we so polite? After the matter is done, you can just have some fun with us two senior brothers."
After he finished speaking, the bearded man also laughed lewdly.
Yin Sanniang said coquettishly: "Two senior brothers, don't worry, as long as you help me get the Xuanyin Zhu Fruit, I will definitely let you have a great time."
Then she said: "Two senior brothers, last time I came here by chance, I found that there was a sinister snake in this pool. That beast is very powerful. We still have to be careful."
"Don't worry, junior sister, I'm fully prepared this time. No matter how powerful that thing is, what can I do? I'll just blow it up."
After saying that, the bearded man grabbed a huge backpack, opened it and took out the same firearms.
The bald man reached out and picked up an AK and said, "With this thing, we don't have to be afraid of a snake."
After hearing a few people talking, Ye Bufan swept his consciousness towards the pool. Generally speaking, places with treasures would be guarded by strange beasts, and it seemed that this place was no exception.
The pool was very deep, and his consciousness only had a range of 50 meters, but he didn't even reach the bottom of the pool.
Although he didn't see the sinister snake they were talking about, Ye Bufan felt a huge pressure.
He couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Such a long distance could bring him such strong pressure. It seemed that this Yin snake was stronger than the three-eyed thunder snake he encountered before. It was definitely a powerful monster.
.
However, he did not remind Yin Sanniang and the others that the remnants of the Yin Ji Sect were doing many evil things, so if he fed the snake, he would have saved himself trouble.
A few of them will be used as cannon fodder here to attract the Yin Snake's attention, and they can collect the Xuanyin Zhu Fruit themselves later.
But just when he regained his consciousness, he accidentally discovered something strange in the grass.
There is also a person hidden there. If he didn't have his spiritual consciousness, he really wouldn't be able to discover it.
This is a girl in her 20s, not too tall, about 1.65 meters tall.
Wearing a black Miao ethnic minority costume, she looks very beautiful. Her round cheeks have some baby fat and she looks extremely cute.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, this girl is also waiting here to become an oriole, it seems that there are really many people who have ideas about Xuanyin Zhuguo.
After a while, the fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, and the green color on the Xuanyin Zhuguo became lighter and lighter, and it was about to mature before my eyes.
At the same time, the originally calm water pool suddenly stirred, as if a pot was boiling, and then a huge black shadow floated up.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. The black shadow was so big. Although only half of its body was exposed out of the water, it was already more than ten meters tall, which is as high as a 34-story building.
Such a big thing, Yin Sanniang and three people standing opposite it, are as small as ants.
Ye Bufan was secretly speechless. This guy was indeed a fully formed monster. It was definitely much more powerful than the three-eyed thunder snake. It seemed that he ate the Xuanyin Zhuguo frequently.
"Damn, it's so big."
Although Big Beard was prepared before, the scale of the sinister snake was obviously beyond his expectation, and he was still shocked.
The bald man said: "It doesn't matter how big it is, just kill it first."
After saying that, he pulled the trigger on the Yin Snake's big head.
