Chapter 155: Canine Fish

were.”Lu Xiaotien said that with Luo Zhongting's ability, even the powerful Chi Yun Sang was calculated by him. If it wasn't for his plan just now, using his close-combat skills with the Tie Shi Shea...Before me lies a swamp shrouded in miasma. The ground is covered with lush green grass. Through the thick haze, one can see hundreds of meters away, where a few scattered boulders are interspersed with over two dozen century-old purple ginseng plants.

The air is thick with miasma, seemingly calm. But every so often, three or four skeletons peek out from the lush greenery, reminding everyone present that obtaining these purple ginseng roots will be no easy feat. 。"Brother Lu, Sister Su, Junior Brother Luo, you have arrived just in time" 。These ginsengs are really a headache. 。Yuan Hao saw a group of nearly thirty people from Lingxiao Palace, his pupils shrank first, and then he greeted them enthusiastically. 。This Yuan Hao, it seems, is not simple either. Lu Xia Tian successfully captured the fleeting expression on Yuan Hao's face. 。But this is not surprising, Yuan Hao's strength is strong, but he can't stand their large number. Besides Yuan Hao, there are two other elite disciples, who were sword array cultivators in the deserted land before. 。However, compared to the large number of people in Lingxiao Palace, they were ultimately at a slight disadvantage. 。After all, Yuan Hao also knows that he and Su Qing joining forces are already enough to suppress him. 。"I believe Yuan brother has tried several times already. Is there some danger in this meadow Besides, Luo brother doesn't have a spirit bird Couldn't you approach from the air" Lu XiaTian asked in surprise. 。"Lu brother, Su junior sister, you two don't know this. This grassland appears calm on the surface, but actually, beneath it is a quagmire. Countless demonic snakes, demonic spiders, and mud crocodiles are hidden underneath." 。My fellow disciple, Chen Shi, was also an elite disciple. He was attacked by dozens of third-level mud crocodiles and unfortunately perished. If I hadn't had some skill, I would have barely escaped as well. 。Fighting in the mire is not like fighting on ordinary ground, if you can exert six or seven out of ten of your strength, it's already considered good. 。I also tried riding a spirit bird straight across the swamp to collect Zi Luo ginseng, but I was scared off by a group of Corrupted Bone Birds that emerged from the mire. 。"Yuan Hao smiled wryly, recalling it made him a little scared. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, once his spiritual bird was killed by the Corrupted Bone Monster Bird, it would be unable to return from the air. Falling down too far from the shore, surrounded by a large number of monsters, even he wouldn't be able to escape." 。“You from the Gushan Sword Sect have seventeen people, and our Lingxiao Palace has twenty-eight. Together, we should be able to take on whatever’s in there. Are we afraid of a few mud crocodiles” Hu Jianming asked with a frown. 。“No, there are countless monsters in this swamp. If too many people go in, we will attract even more monsters. If we attract a large number of monsters, the situation will become even more difficult, and we might even be wiped out. Before, I went out of the Desolate Land with your Luo brother, but later we encountered the Green Armored Skeleton. After a big battle, we were defeated and fled separately. By chance, we came to this place.” 。I just happened to see dozens of cultivators from the Man Beast Sect and the Mo Yang Sect join forces to break into the swamp. As a result, because of the commotion, they attracted over a hundred monsters from more than ten miles away, who came charging in one after another. Thirty people or so barely managed to escape with their lives. 。"Yuan Hao hurriedly shook his head." 。It's impossible to go there on foot, and it's also impossible to fly over. If there were more people, it would be even worse. 。"So there's no way at all"

Luo Qin scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, anxiously saying 。The faces of others also showed disappointment. 。To have so many, dozens of Dendrobium orchids and yet not be able to pick any at all, how disappointing this must be for everyone present. 。"It's not quite that simple. I once ventured in with a few elite disciples from our sect. Although Brother Chen fell, he did manage to glean some insight. The key is that the group shouldn't be too large; otherwise, there's too much of a human scent, which easily attracts hordes of demonic beasts." 。I reckon four or five people would be enough. Of course, these four or five people must all have extremely strong abilities, like Sister Su and Junior Brother Lu, who are elite disciples with two artifacts each. But even counting me, there are only three, still a bit short. 。Yuan Hao stared intently at Lu Xiaoteng and Su Qing, "If it really doesn't work, how about the three of us join forces to try again Of course, getting through will require a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones, replenishing mana, and healing pills" 。After obtaining the Zi Luo ginseng together with other fellow cultivators, it will be distributed among everyone. What do you think

Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment. To be honest, the spiritual objects he had in hand could already be exchanged for several Zhu Ji Dan. After returning to Ling Xiao Palace, he could still use the spiritual objects within the barrier to refine several more batches of elixir. 。There is no need to risk venturing into this treacherous mire again. 。If you simply refuse, it might raise suspicion, after all, no one would dislike having more foundation-building pills. 。Especially the Radix Notoginseng, which is the main ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, has a much higher exchange ratio for Foundation Establishment Pills compared to other spiritual herbs. 。That is Wu Yan, and a glimmer of challenge flickered in her eyes. 。But she couldn't make up her mind and habitually looked at Lu Xiaitian. 。“I was injured before I came and needed to rest for a day. Besides, this matter is very important, and I can't make up my mind right now. I need to discuss it with a few people, including Sister Su.” 。After a moment's thought, Lu Xia Tian said 。"Well, actually, with four people working together, we should be able to accomplish something. Even if it's just three of us, there's no guarantee we'll be able to harvest the Purple Vine Ginseng, but we should be able to get out safely. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk my own life." 。Yuan Hao worried that Lu Xia Tian would refuse, so he added another sentence. Although he had collected enough spiritual objects in his hands to exchange for several Zhuji Dan, and with his aptitude, he could even successfully build the foundation without Zhuji Dan... 。Of course, if there's a Foundation Pill, it can save years of arduous cultivation. 。Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill wasn't difficult for him to acquire, but for other cultivators within the sect, it was a rare and precious treasure. After he successfully established his foundation, using the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hands, he would find the Jindan ancestor of the sect and exchange for a drop of Dan Yuan. At that time, he would reforge the Blazing Sun Sword in his hand, turning it into a Dan Yuan magic weapon. 。Danyuan artifacts are far more powerful than ordinary artifacts. Among cultivators of the same level, they can still dominate and leave ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators far behind. 。Therefore, Yuan Hao had high expectations for this collaboration. 。"Brother Lu, how have you considered it" A day later, Yuan Hao looked at Lu Xiaodao expectantly. He had witnessed Lu Xiaodao's intelligence; in the dangerous land, Lu Xiaodao had always taken charge. Naturally, Yuan Hao first asked Lu Xiaodao. 。"You should ask Su Shimei about this, she's the one who makes the final call." 。Lu Xia Tian touched his nose and retreated to the side. This time, it was him, Su Qing, and Wu Yan who made a move. He was originally a little unwilling, but Su Qing directly took out a piece of Chi Yan Jing 。Even if Lu Xia Tian makes the move, he will still receive his share of the purple ginseng. 。Lu Xiaitian weighed it for a moment before directly agreeing. 。

Magical artifacts also vary in quality. Besides being able to directly refine high-grade artifacts, the Fiery Crystal can be combined with alchemy essence to become a top-grade alchemy artifact.

Although the legendary Dan Yuan didn't know where to go, there was still a lingering desire. 。Moreover, magic artifacts crafted from Fiery Crystals are several degrees more powerful than ordinary ones. 。Of course, he had made it clear beforehand that if the danger became too great, he would immediately abandon his mission and prioritize his own safety. 。"Previously, Brother Yuan, you said it's best to have four or five people" Su Qing bent a strand of blue silk with her finger, asking Lu Xiaoteng across from him. 。"That's good, four to five people is best. Of course, their strength must exceed that of ordinary elite disciples." 。Yuan Hao nodded. 。“Our side can send three people, me, Senior Brother Lu, and Junior Sister Wu.” 。"However, Brother Yuan, your Gujian Sect only has one person. I wonder after collecting these Zi Luo ginseng, how will the two sects, you and my sect, Brother Luo, decide to distribute them" Su Qing said. 。Yuan Hao's expression shifted. If Wu Yan also had two magic weapons, the strength of Lingxiao Palace would completely surpass him now. However, he was unwilling to show weakness, given the reputation of the ancient sword sect, and retorted, "According to Junior Sister Su's meaning, how should we distribute them Before you came, several disciples from my Ancient Sword Sect had already explored the way. Could it be that we split according to the number of people, three for you and one for me" Su Qing said slowly, "That's not necessary. Our two factions are friendly, and we are certainly not ignorant of how to advance and retreat." 。But at least we put in a bit more effort, so it's only fair that we get a little extra. 。However, considering the importance of ginseng. 。Okay, if Senior Brother Yuan can come up with two Longevity Fruits, these Purple Loach Ginseng will be divided into five portions, and Senior Brother Yuan will get two of them. 。“Two portions, and you want me to contribute two Longevity Fruits as well Sister Su, are you driving a hard bargain” A trace of anger flashed across Yuan Hao’s face. As for cultivators of Qi, no one had ever dared to haggle with him like this before. 。"The reason I set such conditions is naturally because Brother Lu, Sister Wu and I have this kind of strength " 。And when Yuan senior brother was stationed at Yan Guo before, his appetite was also too big. 。"Su Qing retorted without hesitation. In her opinion, Lu Xia Tian was no less capable than Yuan Hao in killing Dugu Han. Giving Yuan Hao this percentage was already a favor for the sake of Gu Jianzong." 。Lu Xia Tian felt a blush creep up his face. It seemed that appearance wasn't as important as cultivation level to these beautiful female cultivators. 。Su Qing and Wu Yan were willing to risk everything to get two more Zhu Yan Guos from Yuan Hao. After all, each of them only had one in their possession, and no alchemist could guarantee a successful batch every time. 。If there were two more, it would be much safer. Su Qing and Wu Yan had already discussed it; they would definitely force Yuan Hao to hand them over. The two of them would then distribute them proportionally, of course with Su Qing taking the larger share. 。"Alright, so it's settled. But you guys have such big ambitions, you need to back them up with actual strength, otherwise I won't agree... " 。After much bargaining, Su Qing and Wu Yan remained steadfast. Yuan Hao pondered for a moment. He had previously given one of the youth-preserving fruits to another fellow disciple. Even if he gave away two more, he would still have two left in his possession. 。Among the rocks far away, there are at least twenty or so purple vine flowers. Taking out two beauty-enhancing fruits would be a good deal even if it was only half. 。At this time, the power of Lingxiao Palace is absolutely dominant. It's understandable that they want to take the lion's share. 。If several people, including Su Qing, were to fall in the middle, the allocation ratio would definitely need to be adjusted again. 。Then he won't be able to blame anyone for being forceful. 。Yuan Hao smiled deeply in his heart. 。"...won't disappoint Senior Brother Yuan." 。Finally reaching an agreement, Su Qing let out a sigh of relief. She and Wu Yan looked at each other, then both smiled. 。“Well then, let's begin. If we delay any longer, I fear other cultivators from different sects will arrive to snatch up the spoils.” 。When you step down, be careful. This mud is a bit peculiar, with an adhesive force. Even we cultivators, if we step into it empty-handed, will sink in. You'll feel your feet go soft and powerless beneath you, so withdraw them promptly. 。Places with generally denser grass usually require stronger load-bearing capacity. 。Although he was unhappy, before Yuan Hao harvested the purple ginseng, he naturally didn't want Su Qing and the others to cause any trouble. 。After finishing his words, Yuan Hao had already leapt ahead to a place where the grass was lush and green. Almost as soon as Yuan Hao jumped down, with a splash, a plump yellow fish over a meter long, covered in sharp teeth, leaped from the mud and opened its mouth to bite Yuan Hao furiously. 。A peak-level level 2 spirit beast, a sharp-toothed fish equivalent to the middle stage of Qi refinement! Yuan Hao let out a cold snort, and an astonishing heat gushed out, the Blazing Sun Sword slicing this sharp-toothed fish in half in the blink of an eye, falling into the mud. 。

A swirl of bubbles emerged from the muck, and several larger fangfish quickly devoured their smaller kin. But the ferocious fangfish didn't stop there. Those who hadn't gotten a meal turned their menacing eyes towards Lu Xiaoteng and his companions who had entered the swamp.

In the distance, amidst murky water and mud of varying depths, a dozen straight lines extended towards Yuan Hao and his companions. 。These demonic beasts' reactions are really quick. 。Lu XiaTian was secretly surprised in his heart. Needless to say, it must be other monsters swimming rapidly under the mud that caused this phenomenon. 。

With a clang! the curved blade cleaved through a dogtooth fish.

However, the force rebounding from the curved blade surprised Lu Xiaitian. It was several times stronger than that of an ordinary second-order demon beast. 。But when I think about it, it's understandable. These monsters have to spend their lives swimming through mud and swamps, which is far more difficult than surviving in environments like land or freshwater. 。It takes more effort to move normally. 。Over countless years, generations after generations, these demonic beasts dwelling in the mire have naturally grown to possess immense power. 。Even in areas where grass grew thick, the ground beneath their feet was soft and yielding. Several of them wore light-stepping talismans on their bodies, and additionally used wind manipulation techniques to move smoothly through the mire. 。

If an ordinary, worldly martial artist had stepped in, he would have been completely engulfed the moment he landed.

Su Qing first sacrificed the silver axe, while Wu Yan used a fiery red spear. 。Yuan Hao's heart skipped a beat. This fire-attribute staff was originally owned by Meng Kai of the Ancient Sword Sect. 。While dueling on the Jedi transport array, he was killed by Lu Xia Tian. Unexpectedly, Lu Xia Tian gave Wu Yan to him. He was generous enough about it. 。Wu Yan's use of a long spear was still within reason, but what made Yuan Hao wary was that he clearly remembered Su Qing using a golden whip and a golden flying sword in the desperate situation. He didn't expect her to have a sharp silver axe in her hand. 。That is to say, Su Qing had more than two magic weapons in her hands. 。When did the disciples of Lingxiao Palace become so extravagant Or were they captured by disciples from other sects 。Yuan Hao cursed inwardly. 。The four fought their way, with three-tiered fangfish constantly leaping from the mud. As they neared the clumps of rocks where the purple taro was located, more and more monsters appeared, putting a significant strain on the group's strength. 。(**)* **Note:** The original content was just empty HTML tags.
