The group set off again, heading towards what was marked on the map in Huangfu Yao's hand.
It wasn't until we reached the southernmost point of the Lost Forest and it was almost dark that we arrived at the valley marked on the map.
It was getting late at night, so to be on the safe side, Zhao Mingren proposed to rest outside for the night and then go into the valley early the next morning.
Everyone had no objections. After all, although one could see in the dark, there were still many inconveniences. If one encountered a monster, one might lose his life.
But outside this valley, there is a kind of black mosquito. Although it has only one or two levels of Qi cultivation, it is good at hiding and is difficult to prevent.
Although the bite from this black mosquito was not serious, the itching was unbearable and caused a lot of discomfort.
Not long after, several people were bitten by the black mosquitoes.
"These black mosquitoes are very annoying and there are so many of them. Do you fellow Taoists have any ideas on how to deal with them?"
"The inner sect Baihuafeng is good at treating poisons and detoxifying them. I wonder if there is any good method?"
Chu Chan'er smiled slightly, took out a white jade bottle, smeared it on her body, and said calmly.
"This is our Baihua Peak's unique insect repellent potion. It's not worth any spiritual stones, but if you apply it on your body, it can prevent poisonous insects from biting you."
As Chu Chan'er spread the potion, everyone could smell a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.
Visible to the naked eye, the black mosquitoes around Chu Chan'er dispersed one after another and fled away after a while, as if they were extremely disgusted with this smell.
Chu Chan'er took out some vials and told Xiao Qingyu, "Distribute these potions to everyone."
Chu Chan'er comes from Baihua Peak, and Baihua Peak is good at using poison and detoxifying it.
The insect repellent potion she took out was naturally effective.
Although everyone was afraid of her identity as a Baihua Peak disciple, they saw that she had personally used the potion, so they had no doubts about it.
Besides, she was walking with everyone at this time, so there was no reason to poison them.
Several people who had been bitten by mosquitoes took the medicine and applied it to the bitten area. They found that the itching sensation was immediately relieved. They suddenly became happy and applied the medicine all over their bodies.
Seeing this, other people also collected the medicine bottles and smeared medicine on their bodies to prevent black mosquito bites.
Xu Chunniang also received a bottle of insect repellent potion, but she was more thoughtful and did not apply the potion directly on her body. Instead, she took advantage of the darkness and secretly sprinkled some potion on the ground around herself.
Since the smell of this potion can drive away poisonous insects, why bother applying it on your body?
Even if there was nothing wrong with the potion Chu Chan'er gave her, she wouldn't have to take the risk.
Xu Chunniang's position was slightly out of the way, and she didn't attract much attention in the team, so no one noticed what she was doing.
On the second day, everyone entered the valley early.
All I could see in the valley was the fragrant flowers, the chirping of birds, the flying warblers and the long grass, and the generally prosperous scene. It was very different from the gloomy atmosphere of the Lost Forest, and it looked like a paradise.
Zhao Mingren frowned slightly, it didn't look like there was any monster here.
"Junior Sister Huangfu, are you sure we haven't walked anywhere?"
After hearing this, Huangfu Yao took out the map and checked it carefully.
"That's right, it's right here."
While the two were talking, a strange fragrance came over. Anyone who smelled the fragrance immediately felt salivating.
"It smells so good. Do you smell anything?"
"It doesn't smell like flowers, it seems to be some kind of fruity fragrance. It smells weird."
Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, wanting to find out what was causing the strange smell.
"Look, look, what is that!"
I saw a huge tree growing not far ahead.
The tree was dark red in color and looked extremely extraordinary. Three crystal clear crimson fruits hung on the treetops. From time to time, bursts of strange fragrance wafted out from the fruits.
"It's the blazing fruit!"
Someone immediately recognized the spiritual fruit on the tree. It was a top-grade spiritual object, the Blazing Fruit.
This thing is very rare. Although it is only a first-level spiritual fruit, the fire attribute spiritual power it contains is amazing. It is of great help to monks with fire spiritual roots, and its value is even higher than that of the three-leaf phantom flower.
But there were only three blazing fruits in total, but there were fourteen people present.
For a moment, everyone's thoughts were floating, and they wished they could immediately pick off the spiritual fruit and take it for themselves.
A trace of fire flashed in Zhao Mingren's eyes. He had the twin spiritual roots of fire and wood. This blazing fruit was of great help to him.
If he takes all three Blazing Fruits as his own, he will definitely be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi training in one go!
He suppressed the greed in his heart and said, "Everyone, in front of these spiritual beings, let's use our own methods!"
After saying that, Zhao Mingren took the lead and set off quickly towards the falling fruit tree.
Before Wei Qingqing entered the valley, he had received instructions from Zhao Mingren, and immediately moved and followed him.
When the others saw this, they could no longer hold back any longer, and they all used their body skills to shoot forward.
Suddenly, the only ones left in place were the three sisters Dai Yuzhu and Xu Chunniang.
Dai Yuzhu's eyes flickered, he glanced at Xu Chunniang, and said meaningfully, "You, an outer disciple, are not moved at all when you see such a genius treasure?"
Xu Chunniang lowered her head slightly, "This disciple knows that his cultivation is shallow and his skills are sparse and ordinary. Even if he tries his best to compete, he can't compete with all the inner sect brothers and sisters."
Dai Yuzhu averted his gaze, but he was self-aware.
"Senior sister, why don't you let us pass? Isn't there no abnormal movement in Xanthium?"
An anxious expression flashed across Lin Yuxuan's face, "There are only three Blazing Fruits in total. The three of us can at least snatch one!"
Although Xiao Fen didn't speak, he looked at his senior sister with equally anxious eyes.
"Every spiritual creature in the world must be guarded by monsters."
Dai Yuzhu spoke calmly, with a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "It's not easy for them to succeed. When they fight the monster, we will reap the benefits. However, it's almost time now, let's go!"
After saying that, Dai Yuzhu and the three of them walked out hand in hand and headed in the direction of Chiluoguo.
Xu Chunniang listened to the two people's conversation from behind and couldn't help but admire Senior Sister Dai's good calculation.
Faced with such a treasure, it is very human to be able to resist greed and just sit back and wait for the opportunity.
As for her own lack of action, it doesn't mean she has no idea about the Blazing Fruit.
The first is that Xu Chunniang's current cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi training. With this level of cultivation, she cannot compete with this group of inner disciples.
Secondly, after entering the valley, although everything seemed not dangerous, Xu Chunniang observed that some roots were exposed on the ground around the fallen fruit tree.
Xu Chunniang majored in spiritual planting and had some understanding of the characteristics of the blazing fruit tree. It stands to reason that the blazing fruit tree is deeply rooted and there should be no exposed roots.
Everyone was crazy about the Blazing Fruit, but no one paid attention to these details, and no one cared about Xu Chunniang, who stopped where she was.
The fastest one was Zhao Mingren. He was the first to arrive in front of the blazing fruit tree. Just as he was about to take down the spiritual fruit, he saw the huge tree in front of him suddenly change its appearance.
