Chapter 296 – Entering Wind Weeping Mountain
Chapter 296 – Entering the Wind Weeping Mountain
“Apricot as a flower.”
Xu Chuniang said, opened a jade box, revealing a small apricot-colored flower with mud inside.
Seeing how well preserved the Apricot Ruohua was, the fellow was satisfied in his heart.
“For an apricot flower of this quality, I would like to purchase it for two hundred and eighty spirit stones, I wonder if you are willing to do so?”
“Although Apricot Ruohua is inconspicuous amongst the second grade spirit herbs, my Apricot Ruohua is not only well preserved, but also full of spiritual energy, so it’s an extremely good choice to use for alchemy.”
Buddy is shaking his head, “You but out of a plant apricot flower, I am willing to give you this price is already considered high, if you are not willing, you or spirit to find another place.”
This apricot flower is certainly good, but that’s all.
But under the curtain came out a light laugh, “Who said I have only one plant in my hands?”
The fellow’s eyes rolled, “In that case, guests please come inside and we’ll discuss the price.”
A quarter of an hour later, the male cultivator wearing the drape walked out from the store, with sixty fewer Apricot Ruiflower plants but eighteen thousand more Spirit Stones.
After the curtained male cultivator left the store, he walked quickly through two streets until he confirmed that no one was following behind him, before going in to another herb store that he had previously favored.
After trading like this several times and selling all the Apricot Ruohua in his hands, he returned to the Xiangyun Inn and asked for a Xuan character numbered room again.
After the curtained male cultivator entered the room, he similarly checked the room formation before relaxing his mind that had been taut.
Apricot Ruohua wasn’t a valuable spirit herb, but it couldn’t help but be in large quantities.
If calculated according to the average price of three hundred spirit stones per plant, the Apricot Ruohua in her hand had a total value of up to more than two hundred thousand spirit stones.
If she rashly found a store to trade such a huge fortune, she was afraid that she would be targeted by others.
Therefore, in order to play it safe, Xu Chuniang went out of her way to change her appearance and run a few more stores to get rid of it piecemeal.
In this way, the chances of being targeted would be greatly reduced. After all, taking the risk for this 20,000 to 20,000 Spirit Stones was more than worth it.
Xu Chuniang breathed a light sigh of relief and did not rush back to the Huang Zhi room.
It wasn’t until the second day when no one was at the inn at cinnabar time that she found a moment to return to the Yellow Character Room, using the Bone Shrinking Easy Qi Technique to change her body appearance back to her original form.
When the hour came, the sky was already bright.
According to the previous agreement, Xu Chuniang and Huo Chunyan arrived at the hall on time.
Zhuge Yun swept a glance at the several people, “Let’s go, first go to Wind Weeping Mountain.”
Wind Weeping Mountain was only a few hundred miles away from Mixed Yuan City, and the Yuan Devouring Beast, was the endemic demonic beast in it.
Several people naturally had no objections and followed behind Zhuge Yun out of the city, riding their swords all the way south.
Two hours later, Wind Weeping Mountain was already close at hand, and the whimpering sound from Wind Weeping Mountain could be faintly heard.
Zhuge Yun’s imperial sword pressed and bent, and he took the lead in jumping down from the flying sword.
“There are countless demonic beasts in Wind Weeping Mountain, flying in the air makes too much noise, so follow me and enter the mountain on foot.”
The closer to Wind Weeping Mountain, the wind whimpering instead became smaller and smaller, a few inaudible.
And Zhuge Yun’s expression changed from the previous leisurely, slightly gloomy.
This area of Wind Weeping Mountain was full of spiritual qi, and Foundation Establishment demonic beasts could be found almost everywhere.
If one was unlucky enough to encounter a powerful Jindan stage demonic beast, it was possible for the entire army to be wiped out.
On this trip, one must be extremely careful.
“In the Wind Weeping Mountain, in addition to dealing with demonic beasts that may appear at any time, we must also beware of cultivators hiding in the shadows. After entering the mountain, remember not to act privately.”
After explaining, Zhuge Yun externalized his divine sense and headed towards the north of Wind Weeping Mountain.
The Yuan Devouring Beasts liked Yin and tended to appear more in the north.
As if confirming what Zhuge Yun had said, the group had just stepped into the north side of Wind Weeping Mountain when they heard several loud ape cries coming out from the front. Afterwards, there was a sound of trees and three tall apes and monkeys with ebony bodies swinging on the branches of the trees came.
“Three ebony apes, two of them are at the second level of Foundation Establishment, and the one in the center is at the third level of Foundation Establishment, prepare to face the enemy!”
Zhuge Yun’s divine sense swept through the three ebony apes and after probing their cultivation to give pointers, his figure retreated, with an appearance of not intending to make a move.
A few people looked at each other and met the three Wujin apes face to face.
With four against three, plus the same cultivation level of the beast is difficult to enemy cultivators, but small half incense time, the battle came to an end.
However, the Ugin Ape was just the beginning, not long after, a middle stage Foundation Establishment Biyou Berserk Lion blocked the way.
Zhuge Yun is still watching from the wall, without the intention to take action, only faintly giving instructions.
“Biyou Berserk Lion, fourth level of Foundation Establishment, specializes in Divine Soul Attacks.”
Among the four, other than Xu Chuniang, who was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, the remaining three were all at the second level of Foundation Establishment.
Thus, with a slight flash of her gaze, she stepped forward and preemptively launched an attack towards the Bi Moor Berserker Lion.
“Roar!”
The Bijou Berserker Lion leaped forward, avoiding the three oncoming aura projectiles, and let out a long roar towards the four.
Xu Chuniang’s Yuan Shen was powerful, and her divine sense was comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, so when she heard this sound, her body was only slightly shaken, and she quickly recovered as normal.
The other three people are not good, their divine sense is not as good as the blue-eyed mad lion, heard this sound like a heavy blow, frozen on the spot.
A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the Blue Eyed Lion, darting towards Zhang Yu, who was the closest to it.
Zhang Yu was dumbfounded and had yet to recover from the blow he had just received.
Seeing that the Blue Eyed Lion was about to land on Zhang Yu, Zhuge Yun was about to make a move when he saw a large green-colored cauldron appear out of thin air in front of Zhang Yu.
The Bi Moor Berserker Lion darted in with a claw, laying right on top of the green-colored cauldron, making a huge impact sound.
A few other people finally came back to their senses, and hurriedly used their own means to kill towards the Bi Moor Wild Lion.
Zhang Yu was even more fearful, regardless of urging his spiritual qi, itching to kill the beast that almost hurt him on the spot.
Under the attack of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Biyou Wild Lion quickly fell into a passive position, and eventually wailed and collapsed to the ground with a body full of wounds.
Zhang Yu cupped his fist gratefully towards Xu Chuniang, “Many thanks to Senior Sister Xu, if it wasn’t for you making a move just now, how could I be standing here right now with a good head on my shoulders.”
Xu Chuniang took out the spirit wine and drank it, shaking her head at the words.
“But just a show of hands, but Zhuge senior brother did not mention that the blue-eyed berserker lion specializes in divine soul attacks, why would you still be hit?”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Yu’s face, “Divine Soul type spirit weapons are too rare and expensive.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Chunyan nodded with deep empathy.
Before she set off, she had originally wanted to buy a Divine Soul Class Spiritual Artifact for defense as well, but that price was prohibitive.
Zhao Xing San, on the other hand, laughed bitterly, “Just now, I had already taken an elixir that can enhance the divine soul in a short period of time, but the cultivation level of the Blue-Eyed Berserker Lion is two levels higher than mine, and I still wasn’t able to withstand it.”
A few people stopped talking and quickly put away the corpse of the Bixi Moor Berserker Lion and tended to the battlefield.
After the Bi Moor Berserker Lion, the group encountered a few more waves of demonic beasts, but they were all in the early Foundation Establishment stage and were not difficult to deal with.
After many battles, the distance between the few people had gotten much closer, and their cooperation had become more and more tacit.
It was just that the continuous battles consumed a large amount of spiritual qi, and compared to when they first entered the mountain, the group’s state had slipped.
Zhuge Yun noticed this and was about to tell everyone to recuperate at the same spot when he frowned and looked towards the back.
