After eating the grilled chicken and nine-legged jade ginseng, he began to explain the location of the purple umbrella mushroom. There are purple umbrella phantom mushrooms everywhere in the secret realm, but because there are monsters that feed on this kind of poison, it is a kind of poisonous bird that is widely distributed, so the purple umbrella phantom mushrooms in the mature stage are not very common, and they are not mature enough. The new purple umbrella phantom mushroom is off-white, very similar to ordinary mushrooms, and the recognition is not high, so it is not easy to find.
Fortunately, Jiuzu Jade Ginseng knew a place where mature purple umbrella mushrooms grew, and there were a lot of them. Rong Qing decided to go pick again tomorrow morning, it's only one night, so he won't be eaten up by the poisonous bird.
The nine-legged jade ginseng with this familiarity is different. Rong Qing also thought that tomorrow he could go all out to find some more precious spiritual plants and spiritual fruits, so that he could give Zhan Zhaoyang an explanation when he returned to Lingyun after going out.
Early the next morning, Rong Qing and Helian Hongzhan started to walk deep into the secret realm with Jiuzu Yucan leading the way.
There are many dangers in the secret realm, there are powerful demon cultivators, and some very powerful monsters, some are advanced, and some are very powerful. Of course, in addition to this, there are various poisonous plants and insects, big and small, hard to guard against.
Although it is not a problem to avoid or solve these dangers with Helian Hongzhan and Rong Qing's cultivation base, but they will still feel very laborious if they encounter too many, and it may also slow down their schedule. Rong Qing only has a third of the time of others. He must find all the things as much as possible within a month and try his best to collect enough rare alchemy and refining materials.
Nine-legged jade ginseng understands all the situations here, and can lead them to avoid all dangers and save time.
In less than an hour, I arrived at the place where there are many purple umbrella mushrooms that Jade Ginseng said. The trees here are not particularly dense, but the bushes are widely distributed. Not far away, there is a large clear pool, which is similar in size to the deep pool where Rong Qing found the nine beads on Xiaoling Mountain.
Originally, Rong Qing thought that it would be nice to have a small piece of purple umbrella phantom mushroom for him to pick a few, but he didn't plan to pick all of them. If it is picked clean, the circle here will be destroyed, and everything that grows here has its reason. But in front of him, these large purple umbrella phantom mushrooms growing around the deep pool are very satisfying, even if you pick hundreds or thousands of them, it doesn't matter.
Rong Qing also has some understanding of the habits of the purple umbrella phantom mushroom. Including his previous life, he has never seen such a large-scale growth of the purple umbrella phantom mushroom in any place, including the classics. The purple umbrella phantom mushroom is extremely toxic. , with regional division, so different from other mushrooms, purple umbrella phantom mushrooms rarely grow together in the same area, at most one or two hundred grow together, which is already considered rare.
The ones in front of them are not only numerous in number, but also distributed very regularly. They are growing around the cold pool, densely packed in several layers, like... as if they are guarding something in the deep pool.
To explain it in a popular saying, if something goes wrong, it is a demon.
Rong Qing had picked enough purple umbrella phantom mushrooms, turned around and looked at the jade ginseng sitting on a rock looking for a place with light to bask in the sun, "Do you know why there are so many purple umbrella phantom mushrooms here?"
Helian Hongzhan came over first, "What's the problem?"
Rong Qing pouted, "This is a bit against the growth law of the purple umbrella phantom mushroom!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! You can't say that!" Nine-legged jade ginseng raised Erlang's legs and shook his fingers, "Do you think people have a certain growth pattern? Do they like to live in groups or live alone?"
"People who like to be lively naturally want many people to gather together, but those who don't like to be lively are definitely willing to live alone. This cannot be generalized."
"Then why do you say that the purple umbrella mushroom is like this? Although I admit that most of the purple umbrella mushrooms now grow in small pieces, but you can't say that it will definitely be like this in the future. Lingzhi itself is constantly growing. In the process of evolution, otherwise I would not be able to talk to you like this now. How do you know that the purple umbrella phantom mushroom is not developing in the direction of 'grouping'?"
This may sound reasonable, but...
"Actually, you just don't know the reason and are making up nonsense, right?"
"...Don't be so serious! I'll give you the answer if you want it, how nice it is!"
Rong Qing gave the jade ginseng a cold look. He knew that this nine-legged jade ginseng just liked to take advantage of it, and it was not bad in nature. At least so far, the other party did lead them to find a lot of rare materials, and did not dig a hole for them. Jump. In a way, this is honesty.
In fact, Rong Qing was not quite sure if this nine-legged jade ginseng was the one he had seen from afar in his last life. Although the one in his last life had taken shape, he probably didn't have enlightened wisdom. But it doesn’t matter if it’s right or not, there will never be one better than this one, and people can’t be too greedy, if you have this one, don’t think about other things.
It was rare for Helian Hongzhan not to threaten Yushen to cut it up. He found that it would be nice to have Yushen teasing Rong Qing. I am not a talkative person, sometimes I really worry that Rong Qing will be bored.
But Rong Qing obviously didn't intend to let Yushen go just like that.
"Think about it carefully and see if anything special happened around here. If you don't think of it, you won't have roast chicken tonight!"
"What? Isn't it too inhuman for you to do this? How can you threaten me with such a cruel method? He's just a child!"
It seems that in order to win sympathy, the mantra of Yushen recently is "I am still a child".
Rong Qing tilted his head, "Who is he? I don't know him! Anyway, think about it quickly, you will have nothing to eat at night, don't think you can grab food from us, there is no hope."
Yucan put her hands on her hips, "What if I don't even know what happened here?"
"You said it was just in case. If you encounter this possibility, you can only say that you are destined to have no chicken tonight. This is fate!" Sophistry sophistry! Human beings are so cunning, he really can't say that!
Yushen had no choice but to think hard. Nothing should have happened in the last few thousand years, and these purple umbrella phantom mushrooms grew here thousands of years ago, even if something happened, it must have been earlier.
"I remember that a monk came here about 10,000 years ago. But I don't remember whether the other party was a human cultivator, a demon cultivator or a demon cultivator. Anyway, he was always alone. He was wearing black clothes and a black cloak, so he couldn't see his face clearly. But I guess his cultivation is probably higher than Nascent Soul, maybe the time when the bridge was opened was closer to the time when the secret realm was opened, maybe he was the last powerful monk. I saw some Many monks wanted to kill him to seize the treasure, but he solved it in a few strokes, and there was a Nascent Soul among them.
And the reason why I am more impressed is two points. First, this person had a high-level storage ring at the time, the kind that could hold living things. He seemed to have opened the storage ring around here and released something. Second, this person knows formations, and can even set up high-level large formations such as teleportation formations. In the big world, there are very few formation masters who can deploy teleportation formations. Needless to say, there are no formation masters in the small world. He just left the secret realm early after setting up the teleportation array. It's a pity that only monks can open this teleportation array, and I'm not a monk, otherwise I might have left this place long ago. "
Rong Qing understood, it seemed that the teleportation array that he bumped into by mistake was arranged by the great power of the upper world.
But why did the great powers of the upper world come to the small world? Although there may be something in this secret realm that attracts the great powers of the world, but the goal is too small and the secret realm is so big, it is difficult to gain something before the bridge is closed, and there are secret realms in the big world, so it is not enough to spend so much effort on the small world. worth.
Helian Hongzhan also thought about it with Rong Qing, "Maybe the key is in the high-level storage ring. Since he opened it nearby, it should have released something. The purple umbrella phantom mushroom grows around the deep pool, maybe this The stuff is in this deep pool."
Rong Qing nodded, and was about to jump into the deep pool without saying a word, but was grabbed by Helian Hongzhan, "It's too risky for you to go on like this. I don't even know how powerful the monsters in the water are. And I don't know what happened back then." What did that person let go, ten thousand years is too long, if it is really an aquatic monster, it is hard to tell what it is now."
Rong Qing was in a dilemma, "I also know the danger, but if I don't go down, I don't know what's inside. Master, you know my character, if you don't understand the problem, you can suffocate me to death^" "Then I'll go down."
"What's more, I will worry about Master when I am on the shore, and I can't rest for a moment, so I will still jump down. No one can stop me after Master goes down, and the result is still the same."
Bian Shangyu saw that the two were arguing endlessly, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with an opinion, "Why don't you make another roast chicken! Maybe the things in the water will be sent away after smelling the fragrance like me. If you come to the door, you don’t need to go down and look for it!”
Rong Qing unceremoniously rolled Yushen's eyes, "Do you think that everyone else is a foodie like you? How many demon cultivators in the world can risk their lives for food like you? You have the nerve to say so! Pretty proud, isn't it?"
Yushen, who was scolded a lot, was so angry that his mouth trembled, "It's okay to give you a suggestion with good intentions and you don't accept it, and you still say that to me, isn't it too much? He is still a child!"
Jade Ginseng's voice is milky, and it is very deceptive to match this appearance, but Rong Qing, who has already deeply understood the essence of Jade Ginseng, will not be deceived again.
"How about it, master, I'll go down with Yushen, and if I encounter any danger, I'll throw it down as a bait to buy time to escape, how about it?"
Helian Hongzhan nodded seriously, "This is a method. Few demon cultivators can resist the temptation of the nine-legged jade ginseng. He is not useless, so let's take him down. But even so, if you encounter danger You must also pass on your divine sense to me immediately, and I will wait on the shore."
Rong Qing smiled and nodded, "Master, don't worry, this disciple must protect himself!" After speaking, he pulled the crying nine-legged jade ginseng and jumped into the cold pool.
