Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 153 The Five Elements Alchemy: Gold and Spirit Conquer Wood

 In the deep cliffs of ancient walls.

Three figures ran back and forth, stopping from time to time, holding medicine **** or shovel in hand, digging out the entire medicinal plant that had been growing for hundreds of years, and carefully putting it into the bamboo basket behind them.

 The most astonishing of them all.

 It belongs to Yuan Hong.

 He ​​is originally a white ape and has grown up in the mountainous Pingshan Mountain since he was a child.

Even if the place is extremely dangerous, it can still walk on flat ground without the help of any external objects.

Under Partridge Whistle, the hook on the mountain-climbing armor sank into the stone wall. He jumped over, jumped and turned, and used his lightness skills to the extreme. However, when he was collecting medicine, he was mostly focused on his little junior sister.

 Among the three, Hua Ling is the least powerful.

Neither Yuan Hong's talent, nor a mountain-moving weapon like Di Zijia.

 His safety is all tied to the sky-drilling rope above his head.

After climbing over a rock, she was about to take the opportunity to rest for a while when her eyes suddenly lit up. There was an old wild ginseng growing on the cliff not far from her.

　　Although she has grown up a lot since the last time we met, she is still just a little girl who is not familiar with the world.

Now that the seven-leaf ginseng was so close, she could not care less about her tiredness. She calmed down, grabbed the Sky-Diamond Suspender with one hand, quickly wrapped it around her wrist, and jumped forward slightly.

 After all, just one plant can be sold for a sky-high price.

 Zagrama.

It is the kind that was rarely seen before in the valley and lake.

 The master passed away.

Looking at her thin and frail figure, Partridge Whistle was heartbroken.

 You know, even Pingshan.

 It is a precious medicine that can save one's life and extend one's vitality.

 But his feet only stepped on a piece of rock as big as a palm.

Even before you get close, you can feel a strong medicinal fragrance filling the air, which makes people feel refreshed.

I picked six or seven plants in a row, which are at least a hundred years old medicine.

 It is not accessible to ordinary people at all.

 Seven-leaf ginseng, Dendrobium officinale, Tianshan snow lotus, hundred-year-old Poria cocos, and Polygonum multiflorum have been called human fairy grasses since ancient times.

but…

The flower spirit, protected by only a sky-piercing rope, was far more agile than he imagined. Its body was as light as a line of smoke traveling between dangerous cliffs and steep mountains.

 In desperation, Partridge Whistle took her away.

 At this moment.

His journey to find pearls was repeatedly blocked and he returned to the village. He also heard that Hua Ling's mother had become ill due to overwork and excessive sadness, and the curse on her body broke out prematurely.

 In the nearby Miao villages, there are also many medicinal farmers who go to the medicinal walls desperately to pick medicinal materials.

 Under such temptation, there are also many people who exchange their lives for money.

How dare he be distracted in the slightest.

 Thinking about it, it can only grow in Zhelong Mountain Insect Valley, a place that is inaccessible and has excellent geomantic omen.

 Seven green, jade-like leaves swaying gently in the wind.

Now that he finally found the Muchen Bead, his people's millennium long-cherished wish was about to come true, which made him act even more cautiously.

 There is no room for any more surprises.

 A few years later.

　　When he heard that his uncle had passed away, he and his master personally returned the ossuary to the ancestral temple. That was also the first time he saw Hua Ling. She was only a few years old and didn't even know about birth, old age, illness, and death.

 If you are not careful at all, you will end up in a catastrophic situation.

The seemingly frail figure is not as agile as a flying bird.

 Since she studied pharmacology.

This has been many years in the blink of an eye.

　　At a glance.

It is surprisingly the one I saw on the plank road before.

 In a blink of an eye, the person was already close to the stone wall.

 “Seven-leaf ginseng!”

 Only the little flower spirit was left alone.

 In the past few years, I have followed my two senior brothers all over the world, but this is the first time I have seen the Seven-leaf Ginseng.

But a pair of clear eyes were full of wonder.

Standing on the big blue stone, Hua Ling raised her little face, with beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

 It seems that when the wind blows, it will fall off the cliff.

Watching this scene, Partridge Whistle's heart was palpitating and uneasy, and he almost stepped forward, but Hua Ling didn't show any nervousness at all, and moved with his toes on the edge.

 It’s completely like dancing on the edge of a knife.

finally.

Wait until she gets close to the gap in the cliff.

 Looking at the green mountain ginseng growing among them.

Hua Ling’s eyes became clearer and clearer.

The partridge whistle not far below him let out a long sigh of relief and continued to dig up the Polygonatum japonica plant in front of him with the medicine hoe.

As for Yuan Hong, it is as if the dragon returns to the sea and the tiger releases deep into the mountains.

 Scurrying back and forth between the dangerous cliffs of a hundred feet.

The cliff is not only home to countless heavenly and earthly treasures, but also countless fragrant wild fruits. For it, this place is simply a paradise.

 After picking a few medicinal herbs.

Glancing at the bamboo basket behind him, he saw that it was almost half full. Seeing this, Yuan Hong thought for a while and decided that he could take a break. He looked around and saw that there happened to be an ancient tree covered with wild fruits not far away. Tree.

 He ran up the branch in two or three steps.

 Sitting among the branches of a tree.

Picked a large handful and threw one into his mouth from time to time.

　　This kind of life is still comfortable.

but…

Yuan Hong is absolutely unwilling to let him go back to the days of Baiyuan Cave.

 The land of mankind, although it is a bit complicated, at least there is hope.

 Xuan Dao is the foundation work of persuading qi.

 The method of orthodox Taoist practice.

 Priceless.

The master rewarded him so that even a mountain ape could have a glimpse of the fairy road.

besides…

 Throw the remaining wild fruits into your mouth.

Yuan Hong gently pressed it on his chest. The familiar smell and heavy feeling inside the baggage made him feel indescribably at ease.

 Between the mountain monster and all things.

 Why is there such a strict hierarchy?

 It boils down to two words.

Bloodline!

 Under the same realm, those with outstanding bloodline, such as dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, are naturally superior to others.

Although the mandrill is also a genus of apes, its heels and feet are much stronger. Once these three bones can be completely fused, Yuan Hong may be able to be reborn.

 Plus the practice method.

It may not be impossible to reach the realm of great demons.

 “Get it…”

While it was in a daze, Hua Ling carefully placed the whole seven-leaf ginseng plant into the bamboo building in the crevice of the cliff, and couldn't help but shout out in joy.

 I saw that its roots, stems and leaves were all there, without any damage.

The medicinal fragrance is permeating and the medicinal power is pure.

This Aesculus ginseng plant is definitely worth a sky-high price if placed outside.

However, Hua Ling had no intention of taking action or taking it on her own. The reason why she had to stay was to give Brother Chen a surprise.

 With it.

 It should be of some benefit to Brother Chen’s practice.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigners have never been able to figure out the method Chen Yulou practiced.

But having been dealing with medicinal stones since she was a child, she could vaguely guess something.

 The energy of green wood, the spiritual power of herbs.

 This is also the reason why she would do this.

“Hua Ling, it’s almost time, let’s go and see that flower spirit…”

Suddenly.

 A calm voice reached my ears.

Looking back, I saw that my senior fellow apprentice, Partridge Whistle, had already caught up with me, and half of the bamboo baskets were behind me.

"good."

 Hua Ling put away her thoughts.

Comparing to the seven-leaf ginseng, in her opinion, the wildflower root is the real fairy grass.

 Sand ginseng, dendrobium, and Polygonum multiflorum, no matter how rare they are, you can always find something if you look for them carefully in the mountains and cliffs.

  But 蓓气 is different, even medicine books say it is rare in thousands of years.

Even because it is so rare, many pharmacists believe that it is just a fabrication by the ancients and does not exist in the world at all.

 There are many stories among folk tales about wild ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum taking shape and transforming into human beings.

But how many people have seen it with their own eyes?

Now, the wildflower spirit has all the five senses, lifelike and human-like, with almost no differences.

 The only difference is a little bit.

  That is, the legs are integrated with the old vine.

 This is somewhat similar to the black-scaled sharks seen in Xuan Palace before.

 According to her guess.

If there really is a Wood Fairy, there is a high probability that the moment it grows legs and opens its eyes, it will be able to truly cultivate the body of a wood demon.

 Taking the bamboo basket from Hua Ling.

Carrying the Partridge Whistle with him, he escorted him all the way. The two senior fellow apprentices, one behind the other, quickly hurried to the cliff where Liao Jing was.

On the cliff above your head.

Yuan Hong, who saw this scene from a distance, also did not dare to delay. Relying on his innate advantages, he had already collected dozens of old medicinal plants in a short time. After a cursory scan, they all found life-threatening treasures.

 It said before that he was well versed in pharmacology.

　　It’s really not a lie.

　　After having lived in Pingshan for many years and opening the spiritual aperture, in order to increase his longevity, he almost traveled all around Pingshan, including the peaks behind the mountain that looked like thousands of bamboo shoots breaking through the rocks.

 Which spiritual herbs are useful for spiritual practice?

Which ones are poisonous to eat?

 Or which wild fruits are only suitable for wine making.

 It is like a bright mirror in its heart.

but.

 These are secondary.

　　Previously, the owner used his mind to tell his spiritual aperture, asking him to stay with him and assist Little Taoist Hua Ling in picking the fleshy stems.

It has been following Chen Yulou for a lot of time now.

 Him can vaguely figure out some of his thoughts. The master is usually gentle and never harsh in his dealings with others, but he is extremely serious in important matters.

 Since he specifically ordered it.

 I think I must get that fleshy root plant.

How could Yuan Hong dare to hesitate?

Carrying the bamboo building on his back, he jumped down from the cliff and passed through the mist in the sky above his head, as if the rainbow light was crushed.

 When he rushed out more than ten meters.

Just when it was about to hit a bluestone, it grasped the branches with both arms and swung gently. The figure twisted in mid-air, crossed the stone easily, and fell steadily.

 The hare rises and the falcon falls.

 Several people jumped up and spun around.

Within a moment, it arrived at the ancient wall ahead of others.

Squatting on the rock, a few steps away, he looked at the figure of the woman in the middle of the old vine.

 Mountain monsters like them are not only sensitive to danger, but also have an unimaginable sense of smell for spiritual objects.

 You can easily feel a spiritual energy as majestic as tide, yet gentle as water from that fleshy stem.

Looking at it, Yuan Hong's eyes widened, his expression full of shock.

It can’t even imagine it.

How many years did it take for this bud to reach this stage?

The vast Laoxiong Mountains, especially Pingshan, can be considered a treasure, but compared with this place, they still seem to pale in comparison.

 If you encounter this in Pingshan.

Even if you fight to the death, it will be swallowed by it.

Such a sorghum plant might give you a few more decades of life.

but…

Yuan Hong also knows.

 This kind of great medicine is not something you can get your hands on.

Moreover, I have already gained a lot from this trip to Zhelong Mountain.

Greed is definitely a double-edged sword.

Shen swallows an elephant, you have to see if you have the ability.

If it were the green-scaled python from before, it would be fine.

However, the green bamboo snake is not as thick as chopsticks, so it still eats some insects and drinks some mountain dew.

 “Senior Yuan Hong…”

 It didn’t take much time.

There was a crashing sound in the cliff below. Hua Ling raised her head, looked past the ancient vines and green radish, saw the figure squatting on the rock, and said with a smile.

 “Hua…Hua Ling Taoist Sister.”

Yuan Hong was stunned for a moment.

Although we meet every day along the way, especially during the short period of boating across the river, the boat is so big that you can’t see it when you look up, but you really don’t know how to call it.

See it scratching its head and ears.

 Hua Ling’s smile became even stronger.

“Senior, just call me Hua Ling.”

"…good."

Yuan Hong responded in a low voice.

 But it is just like a human spirit, so how dare you really call it that, so you immediately changed the topic.

"I took a look at the nectar. It is all in one piece. It is more than ten meters long. It cannot be carried out after digging it out from the root. However, if it is cut off, the potency of the medicine will be lost."

 “What should I do?”

 “Senior, don’t worry.”

Hua Ling smiled and shook her head.

"What?"

Hearing this, Yuan Hong couldn't help but be startled, but seeing that the partridge whistle next to him was also calm and unhurried, it couldn't help but feel uncertain.

  I don’t want to say much.

 Just take a few steps out of the way.

Hua Ling quickly stepped forward and got in front of Gao Jing to take a serious look.

 Compared to the previous time, this fleshy plant was so close at this moment, and the shock to her was obviously more intense.

 The pure medicinal fragrance hits your nose.

Just a slight sniff made her Qi Hai Dantian a little more spiritual.

If this can be refined into a great elixir, breaking through the realm is like drinking water, it is not an empty talk even if you think about it.

 Hand looked at it again.

 Not long after, Hua Ling’s eyes became clearer and clearer.

 “Brother, give me the golden pestle.”

Partridge Whistle seemed to have expected it. He took out an artifact about half a foot long with golden light and a simple shape from his backpack and handed it to her hand.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong became more and more surprised.

It has no idea what the use of this thing is.

The flower spirit took the golden pestle without hesitation. She moved her green-white fingers along the eyebrows of the woman in the vine a few times, as if she was measuring something, and then gently knocked down the golden pestle in her hand.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 Only a crisp sound was heard.

The old vine was cut straight from the middle and divided into two.

According to this situation, she leaned down again and knocked a few times between the woman and the root of the vine.

The humanoid vine spirit fell off from the entire ancient vine.

Partridge Whistle stepped forward slowly, opened the prepared bamboo bag, and the Bojing fell into it. He tightened the knot tightly and put it into the bamboo basket behind him.

 The whole process is completed in one go.

Yuan Hong was dumbfounded as he watched.

 He opened his mouth to ask several times, but was worried that it would be too presumptuous. But the curiosity in his heart was like being scratched by a pair of claws, which made him scratch his ears and cheeks.

 See the situation.

How can the flower spirit not understand its thoughts?

  explained with a smile.

“This is an alchemy passed down by my predecessors in the Bishan lineage. Among the five elements, metal overcomes wood and is driven by the alchemy. If the metal spirit cuts the green wood and herbs, the root will not be damaged and the medicine will not be damaged.”

"I see…"

After listening, Yuan Hong suddenly realized.

 As time goes by, it becomes more and more aware that people are really smart and can achieve perfection in almost everything including magic, equipment, food, and folk customs.

“Senior brother, why haven’t you seen Brother Chen yet…”

 In it secretly calls itself a strange time.

Hua Ling's surprise dissipated, but there was a bit more worry between her brows.

It’s been so long.

 I haven’t seen Brother Chen come out yet.

 It would be a lie to say that I am not worried.

 The longer the time, the greater the risk.

“You go first, I’ll go back and take a look.”

The Partridge Whistle is not like this.

 He was a little absent-minded when collecting herbs.

From time to time, I look back at the plank road above my head and the gate of the Heavenly Palace higher up.

 But Chen Yulou never appeared.

At this moment, he was already a little annoyed. He should have stayed at that time, at least to be able to raid the formation for Brother Chen.

“You two, there’s no need to wait...”

Yuan Hong, who had reacted, couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this.

 “Why, senior?”

“The master has already left ahead of us and is waiting outside the valley.”

There is a spiritual mark planted by Chen Yulou in Yuan Hong's spiritual aperture.

 Different from the contract with Angry Chicken.

  But it can communicate through the spiritual orifice.

It has received the message before.

 “One step ahead?!”

 Hear this.

Even Partridge Whistle looked full of disbelief.

How can this be?

They left Xuan Palace and found Miss Kunlun Hong and her party without any delay.

How could Chen Yulou come from behind?

“The master said that he led the corpse cave away from the underground Yin River.”

Yuan Hong actually couldn’t figure it out either.

 But he still told the master’s summons honestly and in detail.

"this…"

It doesn’t look like lying.

Moreover, in such a major matter, Yuan Hong would not dare to mess around.

Partridge Whistle raised his eyebrows.

 My mind is spinning.

 The decision was made immediately.

 “Then...leave first and meet at the valley.”

"good!"

Two people and one monkey, each carrying a bamboo basket, descended from the cliff and arrived at the lake in a short time.

 Sure enough, a bamboo raft was left behind.

 It has also been specially reinforced with old vines.

Partridge Whistle took the bamboo pole straight away, jumped onto the bow of the boat, activated his energy and blood, and rowed hard. In an instant, the bamboo raft under him was like an arrow leaving the string, quickly breaking through the lake and moving forward.

 Because it is the way home.

  Comparatively, this trip went extremely fast.

 It only took less than half an hour.

The three of them arrived at the lake shore. When they passed the burial pit, the tusks from the elephant bones had been removed. They walked through the stone steps and arrived outside the mountain temple.

 Sure enough.

 You can see it from a distance.

A figure in a green shirt was standing in front of the group of thieves, looking at them calmly.

Standing on his shoulders is a colorful rooster that looks like a phoenix.

If not Chen Yulou, who else could it be?

 “The corpse cave...has been solved?”
