The Path to Immortality

"Wisteria lily? Are you sure?"

After hearing Fang Ping's guess and learning the value of this spiritual flower from him, Zhou Yang and others, including Senior Brother Yan, all became excited.

The reward offered by Elder Wang's granddaughter is only a hundred pieces of spiritual stone and five bottles of Yuan Ning Dan!

“I can’t guarantee it, but I feel it’s possible.”

Fang Ping didn't dare to say anything, for fear that his hopes would be dashed and that he would depress a few people instead.

But even so, it is impossible for a few people to remain indifferent.

Immediately he spread out and searched everywhere in the vicinity.

After a while, the mountain wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff brought the medicinal fragrance again.

Finally, Fang Ping followed the direction of the wind and found the source of the fragrance!

Not far away, diagonally below, on the left side of the stone platform about ten feet away from where they were on the mountain road, in an inconspicuous mountain crevice, a piece of purple vine spiritual plant was growing.

On top of the spiritual plant, four white spiritual flowers bloomed steadily!

The white flowers were not eye-catching, and could even be said to be a bit plain, but in the eyes of Fang Ping and several others who came after hearing the news, they were more beautiful than the magnificent clouds on the horizon.

"Wisteria has star-shaped broken leaves and six-petaled flowers. It smells like mountain wisteria, but has a slightly sweeter smell...it can't be mistaken, it should be wisteria centifolia!"

Fang Ping announced his judgment.

"Very good!"

Zhou Yang and Zhang Feihu became excited and clapped their hands fiercely.

Su Lingyun also looked happy, looking more and more beautiful.

Senior Brother Yan looked quite emotional: "I didn't expect that Yan would encounter an opportunity. Junior Brother Fang, you are indeed a lucky star!"

Four spiritual flowers are worth approximately one hundred and fifty spiritual stones!

However, the location of the flowers is very remote. If you want to risk picking them, you will be blown down by the unpredictable mountain wind if you are not careful.

This difficult question was placed in front of the five people.

Fang Ping looked at Yan Xu and asked, "Senior Brother Yan, a monk in the middle stage of Qi training should be able to fly with a weapon, right?"

Yan Xu's face suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment.

His lips moved for a moment, and then he said: "Higher quality flying instruments are not cheap, and I can't stand the inferior ones... I'm still saving money for the time being!"

That means you can’t fly there!

Zhou Yang and others showed vague disappointment on their faces.

There is no shortcut, but in the face of more than a hundred spiritual stones, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.

Soon, with collective efforts, the five people came up with a safe way.

Use strong enough thick vines as safety ropes, and then use magic power to drive strong enough wooden wedges into the mountain wall to forcibly open up a suspended plank road for people to climb.

As for whether this move will delay the search for the white-feathered crane?

Excuse me!

Several people have long forgotten the existence of Linghe, and Linghua is the real benefit in front of them.

After almost half a day of busy work.

Senior Brother Yan, Zhou Yang and others took turns to go into battle. During this period, they made mistakes several times or were accidentally blown down by the mountain wind. They relied on safety ropes and were pulled back without any danger by others.

With this primitive method, a path was forcibly carved out to climb up to the stone platform.

Finally, seeing Zhang Feihu volunteering and crawling over little by little with vines hanging from his waist, Fang Ping could not help but sigh at his lack of strength.

If I were in the middle stage of Qi training and had a flying magic weapon, the matter would be easily solved.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Zhang Feihu successfully climbed onto the stone platform, carefully picked off the spirit flower, put it into his storage bag, and then climbed back over again with joy on his face.

One hundred and fifty spiritual stones are obtained!

Everyone knew who they relied on to achieve such a harvest.

After learning that Fang Ping had some knowledge of alchemy, Yan Xu, who already felt that Fang Ping had some friendship value, immediately said: "The discovery of the spirit flower is all due to Junior Brother Fang, and has nothing to do with his level of strength. This discovery, Junior Brother Fang should be You get half, and we share the rest!”

Seeing that Yan Xu had expressed his stance, Zhou Yang and others could no longer object and decided on the distribution ratio.

Just when a few people couldn't help but think about how many spiritual stones they could get, a crisp crane roar suddenly came from the air near the top of the cliff.

"Haha, you evil beast, you finally can't bear it anymore!"

The outer door deacon who was patrolling in the air laughed loudly and chased after him with his magic weapon.

After thousands of outer disciples of Luoyang Sect searched the mountain for five consecutive days, the hidden white-feathered crane finally couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to show up, trying to find a way out.

But unfortunately, it is destined to have no escape.

Several outer sect deacons swarmed up and chased the crane, finally trapping the spirit crane in a snare.

It's not that this Linghe's strength is really so amazing that he can fight several deacons alone. The main reason is that the deacons were very hesitant when they took action and did not dare to use all their strength for fear of hurting a crane feather.

After a "fierce battle", the white-feathered crane was unable to fly and was captured by the deacons.

Seeing the scene in the sky from a distance, almost all the outer disciples let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, it’s over!

The only pity is that the spirit crane flew out on its own initiative, and in the end no one could get the reward of one hundred spirit stones and five bottles of Yuan Ning Dan.

Some disciples who were active and expected to win the jackpot were greatly disappointed.

………

Before nightfall that day.

A group of outer sect disciples withdrew to their original landing point one after another, returned to the back of the Camel Cloud Beast, and embarked on the road back to the sect overnight.

When I arrived, the camel cloud beast was full of disciples.

When they returned, the Camel Cloud Beast's back was still packed full, as if there was no difference.

But if you really count them one by one, you will find that there are five fewer disciples on the way back than when they came, and there are even more injured disciples.

Five people were lost in five days, and an average of one person was lost every day.

It doesn't sound like much.

But don't forget, this is just the loss of one Camel Cloud Beast.

If all the disciples were counted, I'm afraid the loss would not be a small number.

Perhaps they realized this, on the way back, there were some happy discussions among the many outer disciples, but more of them fell into silence.

But how can I say it?

Today's world of immortal cultivation is no longer the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago.

The resources for immortal cultivation are limited, but disciples with average spiritual roots are not lacking.

The rule of five years of entry is to clear out a lot of people.

Compared with the number of disciples expelled from the sect, this sacrifice is nothing, but it can play the role of sifting the sand out of the waves.

Perhaps it was for this reason that no one in the sect's upper echelons stepped forward to stop Wang Changgong from using his weapon for private purposes and letting many outer disciples risk their lives for a spiritual crane.

………

One day later.

After returning to the sect, Fang Ping and his companions rushed to Luoyunfang together and sold all the spiritual herbs and monster materials obtained from the adventure, especially the four purple wisteria hundred-leaf flowers.

As for why five people had to come together to solve the problem that could be solved by sending one person, this was a bit subtle.

In the end, after all the processing, the five people got a total of about 200 spiritual stones.

Because he got 50% of the spiritual flower income, Fang Ping got the most, and he got nearly 100 spiritual stones.

Senior Brother Yan had the highest combat power level, and his income was second only to Fang Ping.

Zhou Yang, Zhang Feihu, Su Lingyun and the other three people also got nearly 20 spiritual stones on average, which was a great joy for everyone.
