But these "ghost brambles" grew so high here, they didn't grow like the ones that spread along the ground when they walked along.
"We call this situation a mutated 'Ghost Jing' mountain. This 'Ghost Jing' mountain has a radius of about two hundred miles.
We have also explored several "Ghost Jing" mountains in other places, and it was only in the center of this "Ghost Jing" mountain that we discovered a lot of "Bana flowers" that were 300 to 600 years old.
So if we want to pick it, we need to go over it.
Otherwise, if I go to other places in four days, I am really not sure that I will be able to find a suitable ‘Bana Flower’.”
While Monk Fa Ke was talking, he looked at the "ghost thorns" like a black mountain in front of him, and he also felt a tingling sensation on his skin.
Although he is a physical practitioner, after losing his magic power, that is, the toughness of his physical body is stronger than that of ordinary monks.
Although those "ghost thorns" could not penetrate his body, they would still cause him bursts of pain along the way.
Especially after walking on it for a long time, even he had to grit his teeth and persevere before he could continue.
These "ghost thorns" are comparable to magic weapons. Although their clothes can block them, if they do so for a long time, it will be equivalent to two magic weapons constantly colliding.
They don't want their clothes to be damaged. It is their best and last defense at present, so when they can resist with their own bodies, they will roll up their clothes and put away their boots.
As for the two monks in front, not only were they not as good as monk Fa Ke, but they were also two monks. Every time they tried to pass here, they were stabbed by the "ghost thorns" and made constant gasping sounds.
It was only through this period of time that Li Yan realized that "flowers from the other side" were not easy to pick, and he still hadn't found one for several hours.
Although Monk Fa Ke also said that the "Bana Flower" has a strong reproductive ability, it has been picked here for many years, and it is not easy to find a suitable "Bana Flower".
And Li Yan had vaguely understood something, but he didn't ask.
"Then why did you say before that you only picked flowers that were three hundred years old, and then why did you say that there are flowers that are even older here?"
Li Yan glanced at Monk Fa Ke.
"There is no special reason for this. We have almost picked the outer ones of those older 'Bianhua flowers'.
If you want to pick, you have to continue to get closer to the Minglun River. Then every time you come out, you will really be fighting for your life.
This is also a very secret place discovered by our cell. As I said just now, there are too many mutated "Ghost Thorn" Black Mountains on both sides of the "Minglun River".
The 'Ghost Thorn' and the 'Butterfly Flower' are incompatible with each other. For example, in the center of the mutated 'Ghost Thorn' mountain, 'Butterfly Flower' can still grow, but it is extremely rare.
This has become a secret place in our cell, and we will not tell others about it.
After we finish picking each time, the remaining time is actually mainly to find new places with suitable "Bana flowers" for future use.
Otherwise, just relying on the few days each time you go out, in most cases, you will not be able to complete the task at all, and you will definitely be severely punished when you return.
Once we find such a place, we will keep it as much as possible and only pick the quantity required for the task each time.
After that, I will look for new ‘flowers from the other side’ and save them for future storage!”
"Oh? Then after you find it, if you don't pick it, will it be picked away if others find it?"
Li Yan was not in a hurry to enter the mutated "Ghost Jing" mountain ahead, but continued to ask questions to find out what was going on here.
Especially for someone like Monk Fahe, who has lived for such a long time, his understanding of this place is far beyond what he can tell by just a few words.
After hearing this, Monk Fa Ke did not hesitate and immediately gave him back. There was nothing he could do to bring Li Yan here.
There can be no discount at all on the task of picking "Flowers of the Other Shore", otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the good fruits if you go back.
“After finding a new place for the ‘Higanbana’ that is of suitable age, we will try our best to make use of the surrounding environment, such as man-made ‘ghost thorn’ mountains like this to cover it up.
Of course, this process is also very painful, but in order to not be punished for failing to complete the task after coming out next time, it can only be done like this.
In the end, if you find that you really can't hide it, you can only take it away and hand it over.
Although it does not count as a completed task next time, you will definitely get the reward from above, which can be regarded as a little compensation."
"If you find out, why don't you take it back? If they know about it, they won't get angry because of it?"
Li Yan continued to ask, but suddenly changed the topic.
The other three people also knew who the "they" Li Yan was referring to.
"This is something we use our life span to fight for. After picking the 'Bana Flower', even if it is protected by magic, the fresher the better.
If they want to continue to get the ‘Bana Flower’, they won’t directly force all the monks here to death.
So even if you know about it, you won't kill the goose to retrieve the eggs, so we have the minimum restrictions."
Monk Fake also explained without any concealment. After thinking about it, Li Yan felt the same.
This also shows that the "Biangan flower" being picked in this way is still enough for them to refine the elixir, otherwise there would be no such regulations long ago.
In that case, all the monks must come out together and pick here day and night.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look!"
Li Yan nodded.
After Monk Fa Ke heard this, he immediately rolled up his monk's robes, and at the same time took off a pair of monk's shoes and held them in his hand, revealing his thick soles.
But that's just because the bones are thick, and the soles of the feet are already skinny, with gnarled veins and no flesh and blood.
Seeing Li Yan's somewhat horrified look, Monk Fa Ke explained again.
"It's best for Taoist friends to do what I did. They can keep my initial clothes for me, which is the final defense. After losing the mana maintenance, don't use it if you can't use it..."
As he explained, Li Yan once again felt the humbleness of life here...
But the two Dharma cultivators just rolled up their clothes, but did not take off their boots. They did not dare to walk on them barefoot.
It would be unbearable to walk a hundred or so steps, so I had to use my boots to resist.
Their boots are already worn out, but there is nothing they can do about it. They cannot compare with Fa Ke.
But fortunately, there are many ways to get magic weapons, clothes and boots in prison...
Li Yan also made the same move as Monk Fa Ke without hesitation.
His green shirt had already been damaged in too many places due to exerting all his strength in the black hole. In fact, it was already in tatters.
Afterwards, Monk Fa Ke and the three of them stopped talking and stepped onto those black "ghost thorns" amidst a "click" sound.
Li Yan saw that after Monk Fa Ke went up, he seemed to be walking on flat ground. Although the soles of his feet sank a little into the spikes every time, his expression did not change much.
The two magic cultivators were protected by long boots, but many places on their legs would still be poked by some sharp thorns extending horizontally.
The muscles on their faces began to beat continuously, but they made no sound.
Li Yan then strode forward. Just as he stepped forward, the three people in front also heard the sound of being stepped on behind them, and turned slightly to look at Li Yan.
Immediately, the eyes of the three people showed that it was indeed true, and a look of awe, that Li Yan was also walking on it barefoot.
After rolling up their robes and underwear, they revealed their strong muscles. Those were the plump flesh they once had, but they were not jealous of this.
Because it won't be long before Li Yan will be like them. Under the erosion of the death energy, his flesh and blood will slowly wither and eventually become as skinny and bloodless as them.
However, the three of them saw Li Yan's bare feet falling and stepping on those "ghost thorns". The soles of his feet and calves were poked by the sharp thorns, and there was a crisp "snap" sound.
That was not the sound of the skin colliding with the "ghost thorn", but the sound of the sharp thorns of the "ghost thorn" that poked him breaking off on their own.
But Li Yan didn't slow down at all and just walked towards them quickly.
Wherever he passed, those "ghost thorns" spikes made a series of dense sounds like firecrackers on New Year's Eve.
All the spikes that touched Li Yan's body broke off and fell like rain. This scene fell in the eyes of the three people, and even Monk Fa Ke's eyelids twitched.
When he first came in and his body was in good condition, he couldn't be as relaxed and carefree as Li Yan.
Only a few of those "ghost bramble" spikes were broken by my own movement, but most of them were blocked by my own skin and slid away.
Monk Fa Ke is a powerful body-refining monk. Of course he knows what this means?
"In terms of Buddhist body training, I have only cultivated to the level of the 'Little Luo Golden Body', while this person has definitely reached the level of the 'Great Luo Golden Body'..."
When this idea came to his mind, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. It was ridiculous that he actually wanted to establish authority for the other party.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but attack the eighteen generations of his ancestors in his previous life, and repeated his greetings...
Fa Ke has seen a lot of physical cultivation outside of Buddhism, but he has only seen people who can cultivate their physical body to such an extent among the elders in the temple.
Therefore, in Fa Ke's mind, he looked down upon the physical cultivation of other sects at all.
When it comes to body refining, only Buddhism is the most authentic existence. In the early stages, there are many sects that can compare with it.
But at the later advanced stage, the Buddha's physical body has slowly moved towards the immortal golden body, which is basically the strongest body refining technique of the human race.
Only some monsters with extremely high bloodline are qualified to compare with Buddhist monks.
And the monks he met in the fairy world were basically in this situation. What could restrain him were the long-range attacks of some magic cultivators.
But as long as he gets close, he will be an endless nightmare for the opponent. In a few moves, he can save the opponent and go to the Western Paradise.
Li Yan came over quickly, and Monk Fa Ke finally realized what he was doing and quickly continued walking forward.
Li Yan and the others had been gone for more than an hour, during which time they were mainly waiting for the two practitioners. Their faces were already pale and their bodies were completely soaked.
Later, their whole bodies were trembling with every step they took, and their faces kept twitching.
Monk Fa Ke also told Li Yan that after picking the "Biangan flowers" later, they must rest for a period of time before returning, otherwise the two of them might die here directly.
And he doesn't feel sorry for these two people, these people are his shields, and he wants to use them to pick the "flowers of the other side".
If Li Yan didn't know how to make full use of these people, looking at him like this, this person would run back and forth here without any problems.
So after these two people die here, he will definitely be the next unlucky person. Since he can't defeat the other party, how can Li Yan pick the "Flower of the Other Shore"...
Li Yan also expressed his agreement with Monk Fake's words, which made Monk Fake feel a little more at ease.
After more than an hour's journey, even Monk Fa Ke began to sweat on his forehead. Counting every step along the way, they were attacked by magic weapons almost every moment.
But they are all people who have completely lost their magic power. No matter how ordinary magic weapon is, under such intensive and continuous attacks, without magic power, the physical body will be tired.
When the three of them looked at Li Yan again, it was as if they were walking on flat ground. Moreover, later on, Li Yan could begin to grasp the sharpness of the "ghost thorns" of different ages.
This made his voice gradually become quieter as he walked behind. Later, with the help of the "ghost thorn"'s little resilience, his whole body undulated like a bullet as he walked.
Monk Fa Ke's eyelids were twitching more and more. When he was at his peak, he probably wouldn't be able to do this.
"Hmph, you can still squeak now. When the Yin Qi here continues to erode and the body begins to lose flesh and blood, let's see if you can still show off like this in the end..."
Monk Fake was thinking in his heart.
When the other party does this, he is undoubtedly still showing off his strength, so that people like him can be honest and obedient.
But I have finally reached this point, how could I let the other party succeed? This time I have to pay a higher price and regain power.
It's just that when he came out this time, Master Fanan didn't show up, and Li Yan was keeping a close eye on him, so there was no chance.
Another hour and a half later, Li Yan finally stepped on the "Ghost Thorn" thorn and saw a low-lying area. There were some red spots there, but there was no black coverage.
"Is that the depression ahead?"
Li Yan turned around and looked at Monk Fa Ke who was thrown a long distance behind him, and the two monks further behind who were still struggling to move forward among the spikes of the "ghost thorn".
.
"Yes...it's there!"
Monk Fa Ke was sweating profusely from the pain. While he was breathing heavily, he tried to use the ups and downs of the "ghost thorn" thorns to pull out his legs as much as possible.
After losing one's cultivation level, things that could be done easily before have become very troublesome. Once the physical strength is exhausted, it is impossible to meditate and breathe out, and the recovery time is very long.
