Chapter 226: Stealing Purple Dry Grass
Li Yuan returned to the inn, it was already late at night, Yuan Yao had already fallen asleep, and Li Yunqing was practicing and did not fall asleep.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Yunqing exited the cultivation state.
"How's it going? Did you find out anything?" Li Yunqing asked softly.
Li Yuan carefully told Li Yunqing the information he had discovered and discussed countermeasures.
...
the next morning.
The morning sun shines brightly on the bed through the gap in the window.
Yuan Yao's closed eyes slowly opened a small crack, yawned, and murmured: "Xiao Yuan, why don't you close the windows!" "
The sun is rising, it's time to set off." Li Yuandao.
After Yuan Yao got up and washed up, he called Shi Chen, and the four of them left the inn and headed southwest of the town.
The entire town was shrouded in a faint red mist, making the already not strong sunlight in the morning softer.
The transportation station in the town is not far from the inn where Li Yuan and others live.
According to the route given by the waiter at the inn, after passing through several small streets, we saw a square more than 300 feet wide and 500 feet long.
In the square, there were hundreds of elephant-horse beasts, as well as more than twenty huge clouded leopard beasts. The latter had long white hair all over their bodies, and they were all five or six feet tall.
Maybe it's because Yunliu City can only be entered and exited, but there aren't many people in the huge square.
Seeing a guest coming to the door, a middle-aged woman who had cultivated in the middle stage of the Void Realm came over and asked respectfully to Li Yuan and others: "Sir, do you want to rent a mount?" "Yes. How do you rent a Clouded Leopard Beast
? ?" Li Yuan responded.
The middle-aged woman said respectfully: "I wonder where the adults are going?"
"Yunliu City, are you going? How much does it cost?"
"Well... we can't go to Yunliu City during this period." The middle-aged woman said awkwardly He smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you must have heard that Yunliu City can only enter and exit now, and the inspection is very strict.
" If the adults really want to go, they can only send you a hundred miles outside the city. The next step is for adults to go on their own. If you are willing, I will only charge eighty middle-grade Yuan stones from the four of you.
"Business is not doing well during this period. The fee is only 30% of the usual price." The
middle-aged woman was afraid that Li Yuan and others would not ride, so she hurriedly added.
Li Yuan pretended to think for a moment and said calmly: "Okay. You can leave now!" The
middle-aged woman looked around and saw that there were no other guests, and said: "Okay! You guys wait a moment." It
didn't take long. The woman led a clouded leopard beast over, and there were two trainers who specialized in controlling clouded leopard beasts, both of whom had perfect cultivation in the Void Realm.
A third-level earth spirit-like human metamorphosis cannot be controlled, and only a specialized animal trainer can do so.
For Li Yuan, it is not difficult to drive the third-level earth spirit, but the route to Yunliu City is unclear.
The middle-aged woman handed an animal skin ticket to Li Yuan. The latter glanced at it and immediately paid eighty yuan of middle-grade Yuan stones.
On the back of the clouded leopard beast, a wooden house with relatively fine workmanship was built. It was almost three feet long and two feet wide, and was divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
The outer room can seat fourteen people on both sides, and the inner room can seat six people, which is relatively spacious.
"Let's go!" After Li Yuan sat down, he ordered the two animal trainers outside.
The clouded leopard beast let out a roar and, under the command of its trainer, flew out of the square.
The straight-line distance from Hongyun Town to Yunliu City is nearly a thousand miles. The clouded leopard beast's route is rugged and needs to avoid dense forests to avoid being attacked by monsters, resulting in a greatly elongated route.
…
Night falls and the fog fills the air.
"You two, how long will it take to get to Yunliu City now?" Li Yuan asked the animal trainer outside the house.
"Sir, there are still more than three hundred miles. For safety reasons at night, the forward speed will be slower. It is estimated that we will reach a hundred miles outside Yunliu City by dawn tomorrow." One of the animal trainers replied respectfully.
Another animal trainer took out dozens of yellow wooden sticks from the storage bag, lit them, and fixed them on racks all over the body of the clouded leopard. A dozen more were also inserted in front of the head.
The yellow wooden stick burns slowly, emitting yellow smoke and exuding a light fragrance, which is refreshing.
The clouded leopard beast pushed the smoke forward several feet through its snort.
Because the speed is much slower than during the day, it is less than half of the normal speed of the elephant horse.
Most of the Earth Spirit's body was shrouded in yellow smoke, with a long tail trailing behind.
The red mist that filled the forest magically dispersed when it met the yellow smoke.
Li Yuan opened the door, lifted the curtain, looked at the burning yellow sticks, and asked: "Master, what are you sticking around?"
The animal trainer who had just lit the yellow cloud rock wood replied: "Your Excellency, you don't know about this thing. , It should come from outside the Luoyun Mountains.
"This is Huangyun Rock Wood, which is very common here. Its only function is to drive away the fog that permeates the Luoyun Mountains and prevent attacks by monsters hidden in the fog. Those monsters are very afraid of Huang Yunyanmu. "
Li Yuan didn't expect Huang Yunyan wood to have such effects.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan spent a medium-grade Yuan stone to buy a stick made of 90% of Huang Yunyan wood from the two animal trainers.
"That's right. , is there really no other big city nearby besides Yunliu City? "
Li Yuan put away the Huangyun rock wood and continued to ask the two animal trainers.
"Yunliu City is the only big city like this within a radius of 6,000 miles. There are a few towns, and our Hongyun Town is the largest. "Another animal trainer sitting on the right side of the carriage replied.
"I heard that there is a big city nearby. Although there is a strong man from the Liu family's Nirvana realm sitting in the city, it is not completely controlled by the Liu family. "The animal trainer on the left answered.
Hearing this, Li Yuan hurriedly asked: "What city? Where? Is it far?
"Liuyue Kingdom's Meteor City should be three to four thousand miles away from Yunliu City! " "The animal trainer on the left replied.
Another animal trainer added: "Meteor City is in the southwest of Luoyun Mountains, and it is not easy to cross from the current northeast. You need to cross the entire Luoyun Mountains. "
The night was dim and the mist was lingering.
It was rare for someone to talk to the animal trainer, and they talked a lot along the way. Li Yuan learned some things related to the Liu family from them, and also learned a lot about the situation around Yunliu City. The next day,
Tian It was just dawn.
The clouded leopard beast slowly stopped on the broad mountain road.
On one side of the mountain road was a straight cliff, and on the other side was an abyss of thousands of feet. The
occasional rolling rocks and the sound of collision with the cliff echoed in the mountain and lingered for a long time.
"A few days ago. Sir, we have arrived. You have to go on your own for the rest of the journey.
"There are few monsters around Yunliu City, and they are only first- and second-level monsters. There are three red blood bats in the majority, but they are afraid of Huang Yunyanmu.
"We can only send it here. If we go further, if we are discovered by the Liu family, it will be difficult to escape. Over there is Yunliu City." After finishing speaking, an
animal trainer pointed to the lush mountains in the northwest, where a huge city could be vaguely seen. The outline, at this time, the light is not very sufficient, so it is not very clear.
When Li Yuan and others got out of the car, the two trainers bowed and drove the clouded leopard back.
With a flick of his finger, several yellow cloud rock sticks flew out. Li Yuan lit them, and the yellow smoke drifted away with a delicate fragrance.
Looking around, among the rolling mountain peaks, there is an area of blood-red thick fog that is thicker than other places. It seems to be to the west of Yunliu City.
"We are finally approaching Yunliu City." Li Yunqing spoke slowly. The destination was right in front of her, but a look of solemnity appeared on her face: "Xiao Yuanzi, are we really not going into the city?" "Not going in." Li
Yuan He nodded and said, "The direction to the west of the city is weird, so let's go around outside the city. When I inquired in Hongyun Town before, I learned that although the Liu family's mansion is in Yunliu City, the place where the clan members practice is in the ancestral home outside the west of the city. "It is said that Liu Tianyun is also there
. Retreat. It should be that particularly rich red mist area. "
Hmm." Li Yunqing nodded slightly and glanced between the mountains, "How about we wait here until the sun comes out before leaving!" "
Xiao Yuan, I feel like that place is not very safe. Do you really want to go? " "Before Li Yuan spoke, Yuan Yao said hurriedly.
Looking at the red area, relying on her blood reaction and the previous three red blood bats, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Yuan Yao's words made Li Yuan hesitate. Huanyuan was born with a sensitive sense of dangerous places.
The spirit was sleeping, so he had to make a decision.
Li Yuan thought about it again and again, and left just now, a little unwillingly.
If nothing unexpected happens, they can use the bones in their bodies to help them advance to the realm of nirvana. It is estimated that It only took five to ten years.
After entering Nirvana, Li Yuan never thought of using Zong Yuan Dan to assist his cultivation, but directly used Zi Yuan Dan. There were
so many obstacles in the future, and he gave up every time he encountered danger. His cultivation was very poor. It’s hard to improve.
“Xiao Yaoyao, I decided to go and take a look. Now that we are here, I am not willing to go back.
"If you really encounter a big enemy, you and I will join forces and kill him without leaving any trace behind. You can't back down. "Don't be
so afraid of death. You must be worthy of the Yuan Beast bloodline. "Li Yuan looked at Yuan Yao and said with a half-smile.
Yuan Yao had already seen the dawn, and Li Yuan was determined. He no longer struggled fearlessly, and could only bite the bullet and nod silently.
...
The sun finally climbed up to the sky, shining brightly. The rays of light dispersed the fog in the mountains and forests.
Li Yuan and the others walked towards the west of Yunliu City.
They detoured in the mountains and forests to avoid being exposed.
Six hours later, the group finally touched the west of Yunliu City.
At this time, the setting sun had already set It is dark in the forest, and the moon is veiled and ethereal.
Four yellow cloud rock trees are lit and held in the hand to disperse the surrounding fog. Looking up at the
night sky through the gaps between the leaves, I wonder if it is because of the fog blocking it. The hazy full moon actually appears. It turned blood red.
There were constant roars of beasts all around, which was very scary.
Li Yuan paused and suddenly said: "The ancestral home of the Liu family should be ahead! "
When Li Yunqing and others heard this, they all looked in the direction pointed by Li Yuan.
The trees in front of them gradually became thinner, and in the distance, there was a faint light of fire dimming the fog in the night sky.
After staying for a moment, they quickly flashed to the thorn bush under a huge rock. Putting
aside the thorns and revealing a small gap, Yuan Yao frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Why is there no guard at the door of such a big house? "
At this moment, Yuan Yao felt more uneasy.
Not far in front of the dense thorns, there was a square paved with huge stones, which was a hundred feet square.
Opposite the square, a courtyard wall tens of feet high was connected to the steep mountain walls on both sides.
The courtyard wall In the middle, two three-foot-sized red lanterns hang on both sides of the giant courtyard gate, both with a big "Liu" character on them. In front of the door are two huge statues of
three red blood bats, almost eleven or twenty feet tall. High.
Li Yuan released his soul power, slowly spread out, jumped over the courtyard gate, and explored the situation inside the courtyard. The
buildings in the courtyard were as powerful as a rainbow.
Due to the topography, all the buildings were built according to the cliffs on both sides, slowly extending inward, further in. It gets wider and gradually goes upwards.
Go straight in for seven or eight miles and you will reach the end.
On one side of the end of the house, there is a large hall with a plaque saying "Ziyun Hall". There are many Yuan people queuing up to submit things.
Li Yuan looked carefully Tan found out that it was all purple dry grass, and he was immediately excited.
From the conversation between Yuan Zhe, he learned that at this moment, it was the time for the Liu family members to go into the mountains to pick purple dry grass.
In the Luoyun Mountains, the only place where purple dry grass grows is The core members of the Liu family know that.
Opposite the main hall, there is a medicinal garden of dozens of acres, like a small purple lake, and it is full of purple grass.
However, in terms of quality, it is much worse than the medicinal herbs picked from outside by Yuan Zhe.
If these cultivated purple weeds are used to refine medicine, the refining level of the pharmacist is required to be extremely high.
Otherwise, all the elixirs produced will be useless elixirs.
At the level of Wang Dan, there are not many elixirs left. Yuan Zhe should take it for a long time.
The erysipelas is too heavy, and Wang Dan is mostly used by those who are in the Nirvana realm. The
improvement of Yuan Zhe's cultivation level at this level is slow. If there is too much erysipelas accumulated in the body, the cultivation level will be considered complete. Stop.
The purple withered grass in the garden makes Li Yuan extremely excited.
As long as the other six materials are collected, the purple withered grass here can fully satisfy dozens of Yuan practitioners to practice to the late stage of Nirvana. Viewed
from a distance, the purple withered grass seems to exude a light Purple halo, but up close it is just a purple withered grass, lifeless and inconspicuous.
There are hundreds of Liu family members in the mansion, and there is only one in the Nirvana realm, reaching the peak of the early stage of the Nirvana realm.
Li Yuan slowly takes back his soul He acted extremely excited and excited.
After a while, when his mood calmed down, he said in a deep voice: "After midnight, I sneaked in, you guys wait for me here.
"It's better for me to come with you! " "Li Yunqing said immediately.
"No!" Li Yuan said resolutely, "I have discovered the location where the purple weed is stored. I can just get it by myself. If there are more people, it will alarm them. "
But..."
"Don't worry, little aunt, even if someone from the Liu family finds out, they won't be able to trap me." "
...
At the third watch, a black figure sprang out from the thorn bushes opposite the square outside the Liu family's ancestral house, quickly floated across the square, jumped up the courtyard wall, and fell into the courtyard.
Under the black robe, there was a vague arc of blue and silver lightning. Flashing.
He sniffed the mist that shrouded the Liu family's ancestral house with his nose. The smell of blood was very strong. Li Yuan pressed down his black cloak. With the dim red moonlight and the dim yellow lights from some lanterns outside the small courtyard, he walked along the Walk deep into the courtyard.
Opposite the Ziyun Hall, at the entrance of the medicine garden, three figures were sitting on wooden chairs, leaning against each other and sleeping soundly.
A flying thunder blade suddenly appeared and quickly struck several figures on their heads.
Just when the three of them were about to fall, a black figure rushed out, and the majestic energy lifted them upright.
Then, a black figure flashed into the medicine garden.
Looking at the purple dry grass in the garden, Li Yuan was overjoyed.
He leaned over and touched the soil in the medicine garden, grabbed a handful, rubbed it on his fingers, and smelled it again. He thought to himself: "This should be the Ziyun mud that Ling mentioned. I didn't expect that the Liu family would actually do it." With so many, it’s no wonder that so many purple dry grasses can be cultivated.”
The quality of purple dry grass in the medicine garden may be difficult for others to use in refining medicine, but for Li Yuan, there is no problem.
Putting down the purple cloud mud in his hand, he flashed through the garden, and all the purple withered grass in the garden was collected into Yunjie.
Putting away the materials, he swung out of the medicine garden.
