Chapter 532 Restricted Area
...
"Lord Lee!" He gasped, his eyes widened. Without even thinking about this, he stuffed the entire chicken bone into his mouth, then violently crushed it to pieces and swallowed it, in the process his face turned dark purple.
In the entire sect, what he was most worried about was Li Qinghou, especially after eating so much chicken. Yan Xiaobao felt a little guilty. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried over. He looked very charming and sincere, because he held his hands tightly and bowed his head to greet him.
"The disciples offer greetings, Lord Pick."
Li Qinghou looked at Yan Xiaobao with no expression on his face. In his heart, he felt a little tearing. Yan Xiaobao's ancestors really expressed a kindness to him. Li Qinghou was the kind of person who attached great importance to such things. Although Yan Xiaobao obviously had done something, he could not forget what happened many years ago.
From Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak Lord has talked with him about the issue of the spiritual tail cock. Although chickens are not necessarily very expensive, Li Qinghou cannot allow others to criticize his own disciples, so the amount he compensates several times higher than the actual value of the chicken.
Now, he looked at Yan Xiaobao and felt even more annoyed about how he could not meet his expectations.
Li Qinghou snorted and said, "You have been a foreign teacher for more than half a year, but your cultivation foundation has only progressed from the third level of Qi Cong to the fourth level. Are you satisfied with yourself?"
Yan Xiaobao blinked, then cleared his throat, not knowing how to respond. However, he continued to put on his charming face and reassured that things should eventually get better as long as he maintains the right attitude. However, when he thought of him chewing on the spirit tail cocktail leg, he couldn't help sweating and back.
Li Qinghou felt a headache. After a while of thinking, he continued calmly, "Considering how you fooled around, you obviously have a lot of time in your hands. In that case, why don't you join the fourth and fifth-level Qi Ning tone competition in three months? It will be on Xiangyun Peak."
Yan Xiaobao's heart immediately began to smash. He had heard of the competition Li Qinghou pointed to. He knew there were prizes to win, but he also heard that the battle was very fierce. If you were not careful, you might even be injured. Yan Xiaobao frowned.
"The King of Peaks, I'm just on the fourth level of the All-Current. If I compete, if one of them eventually defeats me, what will happen? What should I do...?"
Lee Qinghou completely ignored his problem. It looked serious, and he said, "This is not a requirement. You will be in the competition. Also, if you don't make the top 5, then I'll..."
Yan Xiaobao sighed. "I know, you will drive me out of the sect, right...?"
Li Qinghou stared at him. Knowing how naughty Yan Xiaobao was, he realized that the threat of being expelled from the sect might not be enough to keep him in place. Remembering how afraid of death, he suddenly shook his sleeves, swept over Yan Xiaobao from the yard, and then flew to the top of the mountain.
Yan Xiaobao's heart began to pound wildly. Li Qinghou's expressionless face gave him a very bad feeling. When they flew around, the wind blew across his face. Before he had time to analyze the matter, Li Qinghou took him to a place behind Xiangyun Peak.
This is a place considered a forbidden area, a place where several disciples had been. The first thing he noticed was the lush vegetation everywhere.
As they flew to the area, Li Qinghou pulled Yan Xiaobao into the valley. Almost immediately, he could feel a sinister halo, and the colors of various plants in the area became brighter and even began to rustle.
Yan Xiaobao's heart beat faster as he looked at the plants, and a fatal crisis surged in his heart. When he suddenly saw a crimson poisonous snake raising his head, he suddenly spoke, and when it stared at Yan Xiaobao coldly, his tongue flicked.
"Snake!" Yan Xiaobao had no choice but to follow Li Qinghou into the valley. When he did so, his scalp became numb because he realized that the ground, plants, and even trees in this place were filled with countless snakes.
All of them were bright colors, and it was obvious that they were poisonous snakes. In addition, everyone stared at him with cold eyes, with tongues in their mouths.
Yan Xiaobao began to tremble. He was always afraid of snakes, and the way these people looked at him made him scared. Although they didn't actually seem to be intending to attack him, their long fangs dripped the venom in a very terrible way.
It was at this point that Yan Xiaobao suddenly remembered that he had his immortal skin, and these poisonous snakes might not be able to bite it. Considering this, even if there were more snakes than they are now, they were as dangerous to him as weak chicks. In the end, they were not very scary at all.
However, his eyes fell into contemplation, and he realized how great the risk of not being afraid. If this happens, Li Qinghou may take him to a more dangerous place. So he immediately screamed, trying to make himself seem as frightened as possible.
Li Qinghou sneered, and then released his planting base. The wriggling snake slowly moved away from a path, and finally a black cave emitting a poisonous smell.
"Uncle Li, please, please!" Yan Xiaobao shouted in a trembling voice. "I have not violated the rules of any sect!" Li Qinghou's face was completely expressionless, because he grabbed Yan Xiaobao and dragged him into the cave. Once they reached the entrance of the cave, he waved his gloves to fill the darkness with a little light.
Yan Xiaobao could immediately see the cave full of countless poisonous snakes, some of which were very large. Their hissing sound seemed to contain some strange, fascinating powers, which immediately caused Yan Xiaobao's eyes to widen.
The feeling of crisis arose, and he began to breathe, as he realized that the basic ability of these poisonous snakes to plant was unexpectedly high. There was even a four-color V snake that was comparable to the fifth level Qi condensation.
The snake's eyes made Yan Xiaobao feel as if a gust of cold wind blew across his back. Then he thought of his immortal skin and realized that he would not last long to fight these snakes. This time, he didn't need to pretend, he was really scared.
"This is 10,000 snake valleys," said Li Qinghou, with a cool voice, "where we harvest venom on Xiangyun Peak. Each of these snakes is very toxic. In fact, one drop of venom is enough to kill a hundred cows.
"Any cultivator who was established under the foundation was bitten by one of the snakes and did not get the antidote in time, he would die. The deep part of the cave is the Snake King, and he is a large circle of condensed. He was bitten by that snake, even if it was difficult for me to save you.
"If you don't make it to the top 5 in the Outer Sect competition, please don't worry. I won't expel you from the sect. I will bring you here to get venom." Li Qinghou looked at Yan Xiaobao.
"Uh...uh...Uncle Li, don't worry, this is just a small game, right? There are only the top five, you said, right? I will definitely pull it down!" Yan Xiaobao's tongue felt as if it was pressed against his lips, and his face was pale and powerless. When he heard that there were more terrifying poisonous snakes in the depths of the cave, he swore that he would never return to this place in his life.
When Li Qinghou heard Yan Xiaobao's declaration, he smiled in his heart. However, his face was still completely expressionless, and he even snorted when he took Yan Xiaobao away. When they returned to Xiangyun Peak, he threw Yan Xiaobao on the mountain road and turned around as if he was about to leave.
But then he stopped and looked back. The voice was casual, and he said, "Oh, by the way, what's going on with the Elf Cock?"
Without even waiting for Yan Xiaobao's response, he turned around and flew into the distance.
Yan Xiaobao sighed, then turned around and walked towards his yard, frowned. As he walked by, the wind blew and the sand rustled, which reminded him of the poisonous snake.
Back in his yard, he sat there, gritting his teeth and frowned. "Li Qinghou...is more like Li Snake! Absurd!"
"I will definitely not go back to 10,000 Snakes Valley. If I get bitten, I will lose my poor little life. "At that moment, Yan Xiaobao made the decision. "I will definitely go all out to enter the top five!"
"If I were to join that game, then considering my basic planting level, I would definitely need some psychotropic drugs!" Taking a deep breath, Yan Xiaobao clenched his fists. He glanced at him, and a wild light appeared in his eyes. Finally, his eyes fell on the spiritual winter bamboo.
"After I completed my spiritual bamboo mission and received my reward, I will have enough merit points to get some psychotropic drugs. Unfortunately, the bamboo didn't even reach fifteen meters. I'm not sure if this meets the requirements..." After reaching this in his thinking, Yan Xiaobao is still unsure of the bamboo. However, he has no other choice. After doing some calculations, he confirmed that the deadline for the designated spiritual vegetation was approaching quickly.
Yan Xiaobao frowned for a few days. At dawn on the fourth day, he got up early and walked towards the bamboo. Then he wrapped his arms around a stem and pulled them out of the ground.
He found that although the bamboo didn't look very heavy, in fact, each stem felt like it was made of metal and was very heavy.
The ground trembled until ten bamboos were uprooted. Each was nearly 15 meters tall, as thick as a human. They threw their shoulders on their shoulders and walked out of the courtyard in the direction of the mission office.
Unfortunately, the bag he was holding was not big and the bamboo was not suitable for it. This is why he had to carry the bamboo. Thankfully, he is now stronger and has achieved immortal iron. Otherwise, he would never be able to complete the task.
He murmured miserably as he walked by. But then he thought of the game, and the possibility of venomous snakes, and his bones and tendons in battle.
"Why am I so unfortunate..."
The bamboo was very heavy, and he carried ten stems. Coupled with the fact that he was climbing the mountain, Yan Xiaobao was soon breathless. The more he thought of this, the more he felt that he was in a very unfair situation.
“I started practicing immortality because I wanted to live forever. Why do I fight and kill everywhere, right?
"This kind of bamboo will obviously get taller, but now I need those advantages..." The more he thought about the situation, the more annoyed he felt about the injustice of all this. Sighed, he picked up his soul bamboo on the hiking trail.
At present, a considerable number of espionages gathered outside the mission office of Xiangyun Peak, filling their hands with various medicinal plants, which they can exchange for advantages.
Elder Xiangyunfeng attended to inspect the delivered items. The number of advantages given as a reward depends on the quality of the delivered items.
Outside the building is a wide and flat boulder, a rosy-faced old man sitting cross-legged on it. A group of seemingly endless disciples stretched out in front of him, and everyone in the line held a spiritual plant in their hands. When the old man gave his evaluation, a young assistant would record the information and send out the advantages.
"Not bad. This water mist orchid already has four petals. Mid-range project.
"This wood grain ginseng is a bit too dark, and the earth-like power is too strong. This is completely out of balance. Sorry, it doesn't meet the requirements."
Rounding around the head is a group of elegant five-color phoenixes, each more than three meters long. Occasionally, they will make melodious calls that ring in the area.
They are spiritual pets of the old man who sits there, and whenever the designated days come to plants and vegetation, the birds will come with him. Of course, they are the subjects that foreign disciples are very envious.
The planting base for the elderly was at the stage of foundation establishment, which was obviously beyond ordinary. Although his overall psychotropic drug skills did not match Li Qinghou's, he was still very famous in this sect. In addition, his obsession with the way of medicine has reached a terrifying level, and even Li Qinghou cannot be equal. Many people even say that if the third master pharmacist appeared on the Eastwood continent, it must be this elder Zhou.
There is a special young man online who is not very handsome, but stands upright. When he arrives at Elder Zhou, he holds his hands tightly and bows respectfully. "Greetings, Mr. Zhou, it's me, Chen Zi..."
When other foreigners in the area heard the young man's name, they looked curiously.
"Oh, so he is Chen Zi'ang's brother. I heard that he is very talented in planting spiritual plants."
"I heard it too. Since Chen Zi'ang joined the sect, he has never grown a spiritual plant below the higher level. He is really incredible!"
As the low-key discussion continued, Chen Zinan stood there with a quiet and cold expression on his face. However, a breath of pride and nobleness burned deep in his eyes.
Elder Zhou was so happy to see Chen Zi'ang. He had been paying attention to him for a long time, considering his talent when planting elves.
"Zi Niang, what type of plant are you planting this time?" Zhou Laochang asked enthusiastically.
"Old Chang Zhou, I am very happy to report that I have grown up in winter bamboo!" Then, Chen Zi'ang waved his hand and shot out ten elves bamboos. Each of them was as thick as their arms, more than two meters long. They were emerald green and even flashed with a faint green light.
"I first soaked the seeds in the spirit spring, and then ground some spirit stones into gravels as soil. Next, I feed the plants with my own spiritual energy at least every six hours. Every three days, I will be careful to lean towards their leaves, and I even used the Ninegreens I mastered Profound Magic and other medicinal plants to cultivate them to this level!"
"Very good," said Elder Zhou, stroking his beard. The praise in his eyes was obvious. "These bamboo stems are more than two meters long and have green energy in pulses. They exceed the high-end marks and can be classified as extremely high grades. I encourage you to keep working hard. If you can grow bamboos more than three meters, they will be classified as superior."
When the foreigners around him heard extremely high-level words, more discussion broke out, and many envious eyes turned to the direction of the soul bamboo.
A smile appeared on Chen Zi'ang's face, and the light flashed in his eyes became more and more intense. He held his hands tightly, bowed, and was about to walk towards his assistant to collect his strengths when a cold snorted suddenly sounded.
"Zhou Laochang, disciple Zhao Yiduo has also grown some spirited winter bamboo!" A long-faced man with eyes suddenly appeared. When he approached, he glanced in the direction of Chen Zi'ang. [1. Zhao Yiduo's Chinese name is Zhao Yiduozhàoyīduō. Zhao is an ordinary surname. Easy means "one" and two people means "more"
