The Black Moon Demon Cave is a place for Xiaoyao Sect's outer disciples to train, similar to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range.
There are monsters everywhere in the Hundred Demons Mountains, and there are many monsters hidden in the Black Moon Demon Cave.
The cultivation level of these monsters is at least in the middle stage of Qi training. Their attacks are treacherous and hard to defend against.
In terms of danger, the Black Moon Demon Cave is even more dangerous than the Hundred Demons Mountain Range.
In order to eliminate these monsters, the sect will issue relevant tasks, and killing the monsters will earn corresponding contribution points.
If one wants to survive in the Black Moon Demon Cave, one must at least have the seventh level of Qi training.
Otherwise, even if you go, you will only provide blood food for the monsters.
Xu Chunniang shook her head and rejected Su Chen's invitation.
"I want to continue my practice and study the art of talismans."
After returning to the sect, she showed that her cultivation had reached the early sixth level of Qi training. After all, she had gone through several life-and-death crises during her training, so it was reasonable for her cultivation to have a slight breakthrough.
However, with the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi training, it is still too conspicuous to go to the demon cave.
Moreover, in the Hundred Demons Mountain Range, Xu Chunniang's cultivation had made breakthroughs one after another, which still needed to be consolidated.
Su Chen was not at all surprised at being rejected.
He and Xu Chunniang are the same type of people. They have clear plans for their cultivation and will not be easily shaken or changed because of others.
"Then we can only wait for the next opportunity to be together again. By the way, take these talismans for self-defense."
Su Chen took out three talismans and handed them to Xu Chunniang.
The talisman was filled with spiritual energy, and it was actually a rare first-grade top-quality talisman.
Xu Chunniang refused to accept it, "The top-grade talisman is so precious, I can't accept it."
Su Chen smiled and stuffed the talisman into her hand, "Don't refuse me again, it's just a few first-level talismans, if you are lucky you can refine them."
Xu Chunniang couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
She thought for a moment, took out a large bag from her storage bag and handed it over, "It's a gift in return."
"What's this?"
Su Chen took the cloth bag doubtfully, and almost dropped it. He quickly grabbed it with his other hand and prevented it from falling to the ground.
He was quite ashamed. Seeing Xu Chunniang holding the cloth bag with ease, he thought it was not heavy. He did not expect it to be so heavy, weighing at least a hundred pounds.
When he opened it, he saw that the cloth bag was full of magical rice.
It’s just that this kind of spiritual rice is larger than ordinary spiritual rice, and its spiritual energy is obviously more abundant.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, "This is a new variety of rice that I created when I was farming. It's called Crescent Moon Rice. I'll give this to you to eat."
"Crescent Moon Rice? This name is quite descriptive. I guess I'm in for a treat."
Su Chen put away the spiritual rice, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."
After bidding farewell to Su Chen, Xu Chunniang walked back in a good mood.
The road is lonely, but there are many people like her who walk alone on the road.
My path is not alone.
Xu Chunniang was in a very good mood, but Huangfu Yao, an inner disciple, was in a very gloomy mood.
Ever since she came back from the Hundred Demons Mountains, she had gone to look for her brother, but he had been in seclusion and had no time to see her.
Thinking about everything that happened during this experience, especially Qi Haozhi's death, Huangfu Yao always felt uncomfortable.
"Luluo, go see if Brother has come out of retreat."
Hearing this, Luluo felt helpless.
These days, she would run to Huangfu Tian two or three times almost every day.
However, thinking that Qi Haozhi, who went to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range with Senior Sister Huangfu, was unable to come back with Senior Sister Huangfu, she could probably guess that something unusual might have happened during this mission.
After responding, Luoluo walked out of the room, only to see a figure rushing towards this direction.
She smiled, "Brother Huangfu has finally come out of seclusion. I have been looking forward to seeing you these days."
Huangfu Tian has a tall and straight stature, walks like a dragon or a tiger, and has an extraordinary posture.
He nodded slightly to Luoluo and pushed the door open to enter the room.
"elder brother!"
When he saw the person coming, the gloom on Huangfu Yao's face disappeared and he revealed a bright smile.
She quickly stood up and walked forward, complaining, "My brother has been in seclusion for several months and even refused to let me in."
Huangfu Tian smiled slightly, rubbed Huangfu Yao's head, with a doting look in his eyes.
In front of outsiders, he is a talented, serious and true disciple of the Golden Elixir. Only in front of his biological sister Huangfu Yao, does he show his truest side.
Huangfu Tian sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "As soon as I came out of seclusion, I heard that you summoned that green radish to find me every day. Did something happen?"
Hearing this, Huangfu Yao suddenly felt sad, tears fell down, and she choked up and said, "Brother, I almost couldn't come back, wuwu..."
Huangfu Tian paused, his eyes slightly cold, "What's going on?"
"Wow... Qi Haozhi died trying to save me. He was killed by the bewitching tree demon..."
Huangfu Yao cried and told her brother what had happened.
"The Bewitching Tree Demon?"
Huangfu Tian frowned slightly, "Where did you meet?"
"It's the map you gave me," Huangfu Yao wiped her tears, took out the map and pointed to a place on it.
Huangfu Tian pondered for a moment, "I remember that there is indeed a soul-bewitching tree demon in this valley, but it is only at the ninth level of Qi training. There are so many of you, and Zhao Mingren is leading the team. Even if you can't deal with it, you won't die."
Huangfu Yao shook her head. "That tree demon's cultivation level is much higher than the ninth level of Qi training. I'm afraid it has at least reached the great perfection of Qi training. Moreover, Senior Brother Zhao was deceived by it and lost the initiative, resulting in heavy casualties and even his own death."
Huangfu Tian frowned and pondered in silence. When he went to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range three years ago, the tree demon had just entered the ninth level of Qi training. Why was it that in just three years, his cultivation level leaped to perfection
Seeing that his brother didn't believe him, Huangfu Yao became anxious.
"What I said is true, and I don't know what made that bewitching tree demon crazy. He kept chasing me. If not for that, Haozhi wouldn't have died in vain to save me..."
Huangfu Tian sensitively heard the key point and interrupted his sister, "What did you say? The Soul-Bewitching Tree Demon is chasing you?"
"Yes, in order to save my life, I also used the talisman my brother gave me." Huangfu Yao nodded.
Huangfu Tian intuitively felt that this matter was not simple. The Enchanted Tree Demon would generally attack offenders indiscriminately and would not likely target a particular person.
Unless... that person has a smell that the tree demon doesn't like.
"Think back, did anything special happen before you met the tree demon?"
Huangfu Yao tried to recall and shook her head, "I have always been with everyone and have never acted alone, but..."
"But what?"
"Before entering the valley, we encountered some black mosquitoes. The bites were painful and itchy. Chu Chan'er took out an insect repellent and gave it to everyone. She said it was specially made by Baihua Peak. I happened to be bitten by a black mosquito at that time, so I applied some as well."
Huangfu Yao said uncertainly, "But everyone has applied this insect repellent, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Chu Chaner, with the surname Chu, is from Baihua Peak, which is good at using poison.
Huangfu Tian narrowed his eyes, "Do you still have that potion?"
