The Path to Immortality

Seeing the demon python in the middle stage of Qi training being killed, Zhou Yang and the others, who had limited combat experience, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling the lack of mana in their bodies, they wished they could sit down and rest immediately to recover their mana.

Only Fang Ping, who was only one step away from the third stage of Qi training, had more mana than the three of them and still had some spare power.

In order to be safe and kill the enemy, he urged the remaining mana and gave the demon python two more swords to confirm that it was dead, and then he was completely relieved.

Witnessing this scene, Senior Brother Yan couldn't help but feel moved.

I didn't expect this junior brother to be quite cautious. With this temperament, he might be able to go further on the road than other cultivators.

"Okay, junior brothers, this is not a place to rest. The battle and the smell may attract other monsters. Let's deal with it quickly and move to a safer place to rest."

Senior Brother Yan said very experiencedly.

The demon python in the fourth stage of Qi training does not have a demon pill.

But its gallbladder and fangs still have some value, and can be sold for a few spirit stones after processing.

After a little processing and using the dust removal technique to roughly remove the smell on the body, the five people quickly left the scene. They found a relatively open place a few miles away, and after resting for half an hour, they resumed the search.

Perhaps the previous Qi training period demon python was the only hunter in the nearby territory.

For a period of time, Fang Ping and his team did not encounter any danger.

Until the sky gradually darkened.

The forest at night is much more dangerous than during the day.

If it is a foundation-building cultivator, it can release its spiritual consciousness, and the influence of the sky is naturally minimal.

They are just cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training, and their strength is low. In this case, it is too dangerous to search the mountain overnight.

It's just a little spirit stone in a year, what's the point of risking your life!

The five people didn't even discuss it. They exchanged glances and unanimously decided: find a safe place to spend the night first, and continue searching when the sun rises.

The thousands of Luoyang Sect outer disciples who were searching the cliff, except for a few who wanted to get the reward, almost all made the same choice.

Only the few outer sect deacons who took turns patrolling in the air were anxious, but they could do nothing but vent their dissatisfaction with these lazy disciples in their hearts.

………

Several days passed in a flash during the boring and dangerous search.

As the search range gradually shrank from the surroundings of the cliff to the center of the cliff, the search area was significantly reduced, and the progress of the disciples also accelerated.

During this period, Fang Ping's team was attacked by several monsters.

However, thanks to the cooperation of the five people, they were all solved without any danger. Not only did they successfully obtain some monster materials, but they also collected more than ten spiritual herbs of various colors on the mountain.

Although they are not valuable, they add up to about 20 to 30 spiritual stones.

As the main force and the only cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, it is not too much for Senior Brother Yan to get 50% alone.

Fang Ping and the other four divided the remaining 50% equally, and each of them had about three or four spirit stones, which was already quite good.

This was also the main reason why many outer disciples risked their lives to go out and hunt monsters.

"Counting the day we came here, today should be the fifth day, right?"

Looking up at the top of the cliff, which was still a little far away, Zhou Yang muttered, with visible fatigue on his face.

Just last night, they encountered the biggest danger since entering the mountain.

A demon tiger with the strength of the fifth level of Qi training launched a sneak attack on them in the dark.

The person attacked was none other than Fang Ping.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and activated the amulet at the first time, forcibly resisting the attack of the demon tiger, and then used the light body technique and the magic talisman to deal with it, and held on until the support of Senior Brother Yan.

In the end, everyone worked together to repel the demon tiger, which avoided the end of dying in the tiger's mouth.

Having said that, Zhou Yang was walking not far away from Fang Ping at that time.

If the demon tiger had thought a little more and chose him instead of attacking Fang Ping, Zhou Ping thought that he would have no chance of escaping the sneak attack.

After luckily escaping death, he slept more uneasy than Fang Ping last night. Even the spirit stones he earned didn't feel so good anymore.

His biggest idea now was to let anyone catch the white-feathered spiritual crane so that everyone could return to the other courtyard early and practice in peace!

"We have been searching until now, but the white-feathered spiritual crane has not made any movement. Could it have run away a long time ago?"

At this time, Zhang Feihu suddenly proposed a possibility.

The disciples were divided into small teams to search, and there were inevitably gaps between the teams. Who could guarantee that the white-feathered spiritual crane would not use this gap to escape?

Fang Ping shook his head and pointed to the sky: "Several deacons are watching in the air, and Elder Wang's granddaughter also has a spiritual connection. If the spiritual crane really runs away, they will definitely notify the deacons and readjust the search range."

Since everything is the same as before, it proves that the spiritual crane is most likely still hiding somewhere on the cliff.

Senior Brother Yan also agreed with Fang Ping's judgment: "It is most likely still on the mountain, but today we have searched halfway up the mountain, and the cliff is quite steep, so there is not much room left to hide. In two days at the fastest and three days at the latest, the spiritual crane will have nowhere to hide!"

After saying that, Senior Brother Yan got up from the resting place and started searching again with a few people.

"Hmm, what's the smell?"

After walking a few hundred steps and passing a mountain road close to the cliff, Fang Ping suddenly smelled a strange medicinal fragrance as the mountain wind blew.

"Smell? What smell?"

Reminded by Fang Ping, several people sniffed and smelled a faint smell in the wind.

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "It smells a bit like the scent of mountain vine flowers."

This is a very common plant in the mountains. It only contains a little spiritual energy. It is not even the most basic spiritual herb and is worthless.

Senior Brother Yan also felt that it was a bit like mountain vine flowers, but just when he wanted to smell it carefully, the mountain wind stopped for a while, and the faint medicinal fragrance disappeared again.

He didn't think much about it and said, "It should be mountain vine flowers."

If Fang Ping hadn't started studying the way of alchemy, he might have thought so.

But Fang Ping, who has recently studied [The First Interpretation of the Way of Alchemy] and has gained some experience, vaguely felt that the medicinal fragrance just now was not mountain vine flowers, but a first-level spiritual plant recorded in it that is very similar to mountain vine flowers but much more valuable - purple vine hundred-leaf flower!

This kind of spiritual plant grows in a certain spiritual environment and in the deep mountains where few people go. It blooms only once every few decades, which is quite rare.

It can be used to refine a variety of first-level elixirs!

Just one flower is worth thirty or forty spirit stones, which is higher than all their income in the past few days!

At that moment, Fang Ping instinctively had an idea to put this matter aside and take the spirit flower for himself.

But this greedy idea only lasted for a moment before he rejected it.

First, this matter went against his heart; second, this place was not safe. Fang Ping rode the sect's camel cloud beast and was accompanied by Senior Brother Yan and others to get here.

If he missed this opportunity and wanted to return here by himself, it would probably not be easy in a short time.

When he reached the middle stage of Qi training and could control the flying magic weapon, it would be convenient.

But who can guarantee that the spirit flower will not be accidentally discovered by other cultivators passing by during this period?

After his mind raced, Fang Ping made a decision and spoke out his discovery loudly.
