Chapter 63: Valley of Venomous Snakes

  Wanyong stormed off in a huff, leading four monks back to Xiangzhu Temple.

  Qin Lingyun had already quickly left the street and arrived at another place where monks set up stalls, mainly for Qi Refining cultivators, and mostly below the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

  On both sides of the street, in addition to stalls, there were many bulletin boards. Qin Lingyun walked up to one of the bulletin boards.

  "Looking for three stocks of lavender, willing buyers leave a message."

  "Selling low-grade Ling Jian Blood War Knife, no trifling."

  “……”

  Qin Lingyun looked at some messages, which included wanted, for sale or team up to kill demon beasts, or commissioned and so on.

  "You can also leave a message above, maybe someone will know the whereabouts of the White Jade Spider." Xing Di said lightly.

  "It's possible, with so many cultivators around, maybe someone has seen the White Jade Spider, I'll just leave a message."

  At this time, a monk walked by, holding a long-handled brush in his hand and began to write on the notice.

  Qin Lingyun's mind stirred, and she asked, "Excuse me, fellow Daoist, where did this brush come from?"

  That monk had a face full of whiskers, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, and he possessed the cultivation of refining Qi at the fifth level. When he heard someone ask a question, his eyebrows shot up, and he was about to erupt in anger. Sensing Qin Lingyun's cultivation of refining Qi at the seventh level, he immediately suppressed his fiery temper. With two levels higher than him, he didn't dare offend her.

  He nodded and said, "This pen was taken from the Feather Spirit Sect's law enforcement office on that side." The bearded man felt strange, this matter could be said to be known by everyone, but this female cultivator didn't know it, wasn't she a cultivator of Qingya City? But other cities also had similar announcements.

  No matter what, Qin Lingyun's background had nothing to do with him, and Luojiao Huizi didn't think much of it either.

  Qin Lingyun arrived at the nearby Yu Lingzong Law Enforcement Agency, took a pen and wrote an announcement. To her surprise, she still had to pay one inferior spirit stone for it. The price was a bit expensive. In just one day, just relying on announcements, they could earn quite a few spirit stones.

  The ink on this pen is specially made and can only last for three days on the notice board. Qin Lingyun wrote on a notice board that she was looking for the crystal core of the White Jade Spider, or any news about its whereabouts...

  Just as Qin Lingyun was about to leave after finishing writing, a familiar voice came from behind her. It turned out to be Qin Daoyou, "You're also here posting notices?"

  Qin Lingyun immediately recognized it as Xiao Zhennan's voice.

  Looking back, Xiao Zhen Nan was still dressed in the same attire as that day, with a broadsword on his back and a silly smile on his face. Beside him stood Xiao Han Shui, wearing a green robe, with an ethereal aura shining in her eyes.

  Qin Lingyun's lips curled up slightly as she smiled and said, "Ah, I'm actually looking for the crystal core of a White Jade Spider."

  Xiao Hanshui said faintly, "The White Jade Spider is almost extinct, I'm afraid it's very difficult to find one."

  "It can only be tried... You guys are here to post announcements too, right?"

  Xiao Zhennan's large hands, like a lotus leaf, patted his head as he prepared to go outside the city to slay the demon beast. However, there were not enough people, so he issued an announcement to see if anyone was willing to join him.

  Qin Lingyun thought of Xiao Zhennan's favor of the spiritual stone and said, "Are you guys killing a demon beast? Maybe I can help."

  Xiao Zhennan's face showed a surprised expression, his divine sense swept over, but Qin Lingyun only had a cultivation base of seven layers of Qi Refining. He remembered that the last time it was still eight layers of Qi Refining cultivation base. However, although he was a simple and honest person, it didn't mean he was stupid. If he were stupid, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to his current realm. After thinking for a moment, he guessed that Qin Lingyun might be using some kind of technique to conceal her true cultivation base.

  But this was Qin Lingyun's private matter, and he couldn't possibly ask about it.

  "It is a mid-grade, first-order demonic beast called the Earth Burrowing Spider Beast. Its crystal core is very expensive, but our main goal is to obtain the Spirit Fruit of the Earth that grows in the cave where the Earth Burrowing Spider Beast resides."

  Qin Lingyun's heart skipped a beat. She was very familiar with the Diligent Fruit, which grew in places with extremely heavy yin energy underground and was one of the main medicinal herbs used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

  The success rate of alchemists in refining different types of elixirs is not the same. Among them, the success rate of elixirs that enhance cultivation is the lowest, and the price of finished elixirs is also very high. Refining other types of elixirs has a much higher success rate. For example, foundation-establishing elixirs, an intermediate alchemist can refine foundation-establishing elixirs with at least a 30% success rate. Although so, the price of foundation-establishing elixirs is still extremely high, and many times even spirit stones cannot buy them.

  Although the success rate of refining the foundation is not low, some medicinal materials in the foundation period are difficult to find. Most medicinal materials can be placed in a planting garden and matured with a ripening agent. However, some medicinal materials cannot be transplanted. They not only have extremely low reproductive ability but also grow in specific environments. If they leave their specific environment, they will either die or lose their medicinal properties.

  The Spirit Fruit can only grow in extremely yin places. If it leaves an extremely yin place, it basically cannot survive.

  So the price of the Lingguo fruit was extremely high, and Xiao Zhennan and Xiao Hanshui told her this news without hesitation, neither trusting her nor being foolish.

  Xiao family's two are not fools, so there is only one explanation, that is to trust Qin Lingyun.

  Qin Lingyun accepted this feeling, and the Lingguo was indeed a rare treasure. She must go take a look, to collect the herbs needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill before the Foundation Establishment period, so she wouldn't have to rack her brains later on.

  "Is there anyone else in that cave? Don't jump to conclusions." Qin Lingyun transmitted her voice.

  Xiao Hanshui also transmitted a voice saying "There's no one else, just the two of us."

  "How can you be so secretive about this and yet tell me without any hesitation?" Qin Lingyun asked, still unable to resist asking.

  "I have cultivated the art of observing qi, so I can sense that Qin Daoyou is not a person who forgets righteousness for profit, and he is trustworthy." Xiao Zhennan said with a smile.

  It's essential to be on guard. The Xiao family truly trusted Qin Lingyu, but they also had a way to protect themselves. With the two of them joining forces, they were not afraid of Qin Lingyu's cultivation at the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

  "In that case, let's set off then." Qin Lingyun said slowly.

  After settling this matter as soon as possible, she will head to Feihu City. She can't wait to obtain Dongfeng Red Leaf and refine Qingkui Dan.

  In addition, among the four Dan formulas she recently obtained, two of them can be used by Qi refining period cultivators, called Yuanchen Dan and Dabu Dan. Most of the medicinal materials required for these two Dan formulas are easily available for purchase, but a few rare ones might only be obtainable in Feihu City.

  Xiao's family also wanted to get the Earth Spirit Dan as soon as possible, and they rushed towards the east gate of Qingyachi with Qin Lingyun.

  All the way, Xiao Hanshui kept sending voice messages to Qin Lingyun, telling her about the situation in the cave.

  "That cave was in a valley on one of the peaks of the Jiuli Mountains, which resembled a coiled venomous snake. The valley below indeed had many venomous snakes, so it was called Venomous Snake Mountain and Venomous Snake Valley. We two were collecting snake gallbladders in Venomous Snake Valley when we unintentionally stumbled upon a cave deep within."

  "After entering the cave, I saw a group of about seven or eight ground spiders at the very back, and right behind them was the terrestrial spirit fruit."

  "However, seven or eight burrowing spider worms are not something we can handle. In desperation, I had to seek out some monks to accompany me."

  Qin Lingyun said "Originally you wanted to find more cultivators?"

  Xiao Hanshui nodded and said, "There's no way around it. A single burrowing spider beast is already a mid-grade spirit beast of the first rank. A group of them would require more people to deal with, but now that we have Qin Daoist friend here, his cultivation at the eighth layer of Qi Refining should be enough to handle them."

  Xiao Hanshui said: "When the time comes, if we really get the Diligent Fruit, we will divide it equally with Qin Daoyou."

  Qin Lingyun agreed straightforwardly, "Alright, let's do it this way."

  Before getting the Divine Fruit, it's necessary to discuss how to distribute it. This is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world and a prerequisite for mutual cooperation and trust. Even if the Xiao family and Qin Lingyu are on good terms, they can't ignore this rule.

  They soon arrived at the east gate of Qingyachi, and came to the outside of the city. At this time, they couldn't see any monsters moving around outside, so they rode the Swift Light together and flew into mid-air.

  Under Xiao's lead, they flew for nearly two hours before Qin Lingyun saw a high mountain in the distance that seemed somewhat unusual among many other peaks.

  It was just as Xiao Hanshui had said, this tall mountain was like a giant serpent coiled up, with dense and lush big trees on its top.

  They flew onto a mountain road and descended, looking down from the mountain road, only to see that below was a secluded open valley, shrouded in a thin layer of cloud and mist.

  "This is the Venomous Snake Mountain and the Venomous Snake Valley. The snakes in the valley are not of a high grade, except for the relatively powerful first-grade inferior Golden Thread Snake, the rest are just ordinary snakes. That's why no cultivators come here." Xiao Hanshui gazed at the clouds and mist below, his face expressionless.

  "If we didn't need the snake gall of the golden striped snake, we wouldn't have come here." Xiao Zhennan said with a smile.

  "Since there is no danger in the valley, let's enter it."

  Three people walked down from the middle of the mountain to the valley, Qin Lingyun landed on the ground, and her consciousness explored all around. The surrounding area was filled with shrubs, tree clusters, and a large number of intertwined vines, which sealed off the entire valley densely. At a glance, it was a vast green ocean.

  Xiao Hanshui took out three small cloth bags from the storage bag and handed one to Xiao Zhennan and Qin Lingyun each. "This is realgar powder, except for the first-grade lower-grade golden thread snake, other ordinary venomous snakes do not dare to get close."

  "It seems they have prepared a lot already." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  "This place has a very heavy yin energy." A figure emerged from the storage bag, and it was Xingdi, who had just returned to the storage bag not long ago.
