In front of Ji Hao was a swamp that was filled with dense miasma. The ground was covered with lush green grasses. Through the dense miasma, Ji Hao could see over two hundred years old purple radish ginseng scattered among a few messy rocks in a radius of thousands of zhang. The miasma seemed calm, but from time to time, two or three skeletons could be seen among the green grass, telling everyone present that it was not easy to get these Purple Radish Ginseng.
"Brother Lu, Junior Sister Su, Junior Brother Luo, you came at the right time. These Purple Radish Ginseng are really troublesome. " When Yuan Hao saw the nearly 30 people from the Divine Cloud Palace, his pupils shrank, and then he greeted them warmly.
This Yuan Hao did not seem to be simple. Lu Xiaotian caught the fleeting look on Yuan Hao's face. But this was not surprising. Although Yuan Hao was strong, he was outnumbered. In addition to Yuan Hao, there were two other elite disciples, the practitioners of the sword formation in the Impasse. But compared to the Divine Cloud Palace, they were still a little weaker. After all, Yuan Hao also knew that he and Su Qing together were enough to suppress him.
"I believe Brother Yuan has already tried several times. Is there any danger in this grassland? Besides, doesn't Brother Luo have a spiritual bird? Can't we get close to it from the air? "Lu Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"Brother Lu, Junior Sister Su, you don't know. The grassland looks calm, but it is actually a swamp. Who knows how many Demon Snakes, Demon Spiders, and Mud Crocodiles are hiding under it. Junior Brother Chen of my Sect was also an elite disciple. He was besieged by more than ten Level Three Mud Crocodiles and unfortunately died. If I didn't have some strength, I would not have been able to escape. Fighting in the swamp is not like fighting on the ground. It is considered good if I can exert 60 or 70 percent of my strength. I also tried to cross the swamp directly on my spiritual bird to collect the Purple Radish Ginseng, but I was scared away by a group of Rotten Bones Demon Birds that emerged from the swamp. "
Yuan Hao smiled bitterly. Thinking about it, he was a little scared. If he had not reacted quickly, once his spiritual bird was killed by the Rotten Bones Demon Birds, he would not have been able to return from the air. If he fell too far from the shore and was surrounded by a large number of evil beasts, he would have died.
"There are 17 people in your Ancient Sword Sect and 28 in our Divine Cloud Palace. Are we afraid of some Mud Crocodiles?" Hu Jianming asked with a frown..
"No, there are countless evil beasts in the swamp. If there are too many people, we will attract more evil beasts. If we attract a large number of evil beasts, I am afraid the situation will be more troublesome. If we are not careful, we will be wiped out. Previously, I came out of the Impasse with Brother Luo of your Sect. Later, we encountered the Green Armored Skeleton. After a big battle, we were no match for it. By chance, we met dozens of Practitioners from the Barbarian Beast Sect and the Devil Yang Sect who joined forces to break into the swamp. As a result, because of the great noise, the evil beasts from more than ten miles away were attracted. Hundreds of evil beasts came one after another. Out of more than 30 people, only two luckily escaped. "Yuan Hao quickly shook his head and said.
"We can't walk over, we can't fly over, and we can't do it with more people. So, is there no other way? "
Luo Qian scratched his ears and cheeks, and said anxiously. Everyone else also had a look of disappointment on their faces. There were more than 20 Purple Radish Ginsengs, but they couldn't pick them. For those present, it was a great disappointment.
"That's not the case. Previously, I took a few elite disciples from my Sect to explore the swamp. Although Junior Brother Chen died, we figured out the general trick. We can't have too many people. Otherwise, the smell of humans will be too strong, and it will easily attract a large number of evil beasts. I estimate that four or five people will be enough. Of course, these four or five people must be very strong, like Junior Sister Su and Junior Brother Lu who have two magic devices. But including me, there are only three people, which is still not enough. "
Yuan Hao stared at Lu Xiaotian and Su Qing with shining eyes. "If it really doesn't work, how about the three of us join forces and try again? Of course, we will need to spend a lot of Medium Grade Spirit Stones and magic power replenishment, as well as healing elixirs. The other practitioners will pay for it together, and after we get the Purple Radish Ginsengs, we will divide them. How about it? "
Lu Xiaotian thought for a while. Frankly speaking, the spiritual objects in his hands were enough to exchange for a few Foundation-Building Elixirs. After returning to the Divine Cloud Palace, he could use the spiritual objects in the Bounded Domain to refine a few more furnaces of elixirs. He didn't need to take risks in this dangerous swamp. But if he directly refused, it would inevitably make people suspicious of him. After all, no one would complain about having too many Foundation-Building Elixirs. Especially the Purple Radish Ginsengs, which were the main ingredients for refining Foundation-Building Elixirs. Compared to other spiritual herbs, the exchange rate for Foundation-Building Elixirs was much higher. Even Oh Yeon's eyes showed a bit of desire to try. But she couldn't make up her mind, and habitually looked at Lu Xiaotian.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaotian said, "I was injured before coming here, so I need to rest for a day. Moreover, this is a serious matter, so I can't make up my mind right now. I need to discuss it with Junior Sister Su and the others."
"That's good. In fact, if four people join forces, it shouldn't be a problem. Even if three people don't necessarily get the Purple Radish Ginsengs, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to escape unscathed. Otherwise, I wouldn't joke around with my life."
Yuan Hao was worried that Lu Xiaotian would refuse, so he added another sentence. Although the spiritual objects he had collected were enough to exchange for several Foundation Establishment Pills, with his aptitude, even if he didn't use the Foundation Establishment Pills, he would still be able to smoothly reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Of course, if he had Foundation-Building Elixirs, he could save several years of hard work.
Moreover, Foundation-Building Elixirs were not difficult for him, but for the other cultivators in the Sect, they were rare treasures. After he succeeded in building his foundation, he could use the Foundation-Building Elixirs in his possession to exchange for a drop of Jin Dan essence from the Sect's Ancestor. At that time, he could refine his Fierce Sun Sword into a Core Essence magic tool. A Core Essence magic tool was much more powerful than an ordinary magic tool. Among cultivators of the same level, he could still laugh proudly and leave ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators far behind. Therefore, Yuan Hao had a lot of expectations for this cooperation.
"Brother Lu, have you made up your mind?" A day later, Yuan Hao looked at Lu Xiaotian expectantly. He had seen Lu Xiaotian's quick-wittedness. Previously, in the Land of Danger, Lu Xiaotian had always been the one in charge. Yuan Hao naturally asked Lu Xiaotian first.
"You can ask Junior Martial Sister Su. She has the final say in this matter." Lu Xiaotian rubbed his nose and retreated to the side. This time, the three of them would be him, Su Qing, and Oh Yeon. Originally, he was somewhat unwilling, but Su Qing directly took out a Blazing Crystal. If he only asked Lu Xiaotian to help, he would still get a share of the Violet Gauze Ginseng. Lu Xiaotian weighed the pros and cons for a moment before directly agreeing.
There were also good and bad magic tools. Not only could the Blazing Crystal directly refine a high-grade magic tool, but after adding Core Essence, it could also become a supreme-grade Core Essence magic tool. Although he didn't know where to find the legendary Core Essence, he still had some thoughts about it. Moreover, the magic tools refined from the Blazing Crystal were also a bit more powerful than ordinary magic tools. Of course, he had told them beforehand that if the danger became too great, he would immediately give up to protect himself.
"Senior Martial Brother Yuan, you said before that it would be best if there were four or five people?" Su Qing's fingers twirled a strand of hair as she asked Lu Xiaotian.
"Yes, it would be best if there were four or five people. Of course, their strength must surpass that of ordinary elite disciples." Yuan Hao nodded.
"We can send three people from our side: me, Brother Lu, and Junior Martial Sister Wu. But Senior Martial Brother Yuan, there is only one person from your Ancient Sword Sect. After collecting these Violet Gauze Ginseng, how do you think we should divide it? "Su Qing asked.
Yuan Hao was shocked. If Oh Yeon also had two magic tools, the strength of Divine Cloud Palace would completely suppress him. However, he had the great reputation of the Ancient Sword Sect, so he refused to show weakness. He asked back, "According to Junior Martial Sister Su's opinion, how should we divide it? Before you came, our Ancient Sword Sect had already sent a few disciples to explore the way. Are we going to divide it according to the number of people, three for you and one for me? "
Su Qing said slowly, "That's not necessary. Our two sects are on good terms, and we are not people who don't know when to back down. But in any case, we put in more effort, so it's only right that we get more. However, considering the importance of the Violet Gauze Ginseng, let's do it. If Senior Martial Brother Yuan can take out two Retaining Youth Fruits, these Violet Gauze Ginseng will be divided into five portions, and Senior Martial Brother Yuan will have two portions. "
"Two portions, and you want me to give you two Retaining Youth Fruits? Isn't Junior Martial Sister Su's plan too good?" A trace of anger flashed across Yuan Hao's face. Among the Aura Refining cultivators, no one had ever dared to bargain with him like this.
"The reason why I made such an offer is naturally because Brother Lu, Junior Martial Sister Wu, and I have the strength to do so. Moreover, when we were dividing the Retaining Youth Fruits, Senior Martial Brother Yuan's appetite was too big. "
Su Qing said without backing down. In her opinion, since Lu Xiaotian could kill Dugu Han, he wasn't inferior to Yuan Hao in any way. Giving Yuan Hao this ratio was already giving face to the Ancient Sword Sect.
Lu Xiaotian blushed with shame when he heard this. It seemed that for beautiful female cultivators, appearance wasn't as important as cultivation. Su Qing and Oh Yeon were risking their lives to get two Retaining Youth Fruits from Yuan Hao's hands. After all, each of them only had one Retaining Youth Fruit, and no alchemist could guarantee that they could produce pills in one furnace. If there were two more fruits, it would be much safer. Su Qing and Oh Yeon had already discussed that they must force Yuan Hao to hand them over. The two of them would then divide it according to the ratio. Of course, Su Qing would take the majority.
"Well, let's divide it like this. But since you are so ambitious, you have to show the corresponding strength later. Otherwise, I won't agree."
After some bargaining, Su Qing and Oh Yeon didn't give in at all. Yuan Hao thought for a moment. Previously, he had only given one Retaining Youth Fruit to the other disciples. Even if he took out two more, he still had two left. Between the rocks in the distance, there were at least 20 Purple Radish Ginseng. Taking out two Retaining Youth Fruits, even if he only got two-fifths of it, was still very cost-effective. At this time, the strength of the Divine Cloud Palace was absolutely strong, so it was understandable that they wanted to take the majority. If one or two of Su Qing's group died in the middle, the distribution ratio would have to be changed. At that time, they couldn't blame him for being strong. Yuan Hao smiled deeply in his heart.
"We won't let Senior Brother Yuan down." Finally, they reached an agreement. Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief. She and Oh Yeon looked at each other and smiled.
"In that case, let's start. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid there will be practitioners from other sects coming to share the food. Be careful when you step. This swamp is a little strange. There is a suction force. Even if we are cultivators, if we step on empty air, we will be trapped. When we feel that our feet are weak, we have to withdraw in time. Generally, places with denser grasses are usually more load-bearing. " Although he was in a bad mood, Yuan Hao naturally didn't want Su Qing's group to get into trouble before they got the Purple Radish Ginseng.
After saying that, Yuan Hao took the lead and jumped to a place overgrown with green grass. Almost at the same time Yuan Hao jumped down, a big fat yellow fish more than one meter long with sharp teeth jumped out of the swamp with a swoosh. It opened its mouth to bite Yuan Hao with incomparable speed.
A Canine Fang Fish at the peak of the second rank, which was equivalent to the middle Qi Refining stage! Yuan Hao coldly snorted. An amazing thermal spray bottle came out. In the blink of an eye, the Canine Fang Fish was cut in half by the Sun Sword and fell into the swamp.
Bubbles surged in the swamp. Several larger Canine Fang Fish quickly ate their own kind. However, the fiendish Canine Fang Fish didn't stop. Their own kind that didn't eat any food once again turned their eyes to Lu Xiaotian's group who entered the swamp.
Further away, more than a dozen straight lines spread towards Yuan Hao's group of four among the different depths of the muddy water and mud.
These demonic beasts' reactions were really fast. Lu Xiaotian was secretly surprised. Needless to say, this phenomenon was caused by other demonic beasts swimming quickly under the muddy water.
Kacha! The scimitar killed a Canine Fang Fish. However, the recoil from the scimitar shocked Lu Xiaotian. It was several times stronger than an ordinary second rank demonic beast. However, after thinking about it, it was normal. These demonic beasts had to swim in the mud and swamps for a long time. The difficulty of living there was much worse than living on land or in clear water. They needed to put in a lot of effort to move normally. After years and generations of reproduction, these demonic beasts in the swamp were naturally incomparably strong.
Even in a place with dense grass, their feet were incomparably soft. They had all stuck Light Body Talismans on their bodies and used the Imperial Wind Technique to smoothly move through the swamp. If it were an ordinary martial artist, their entire body would have sunk in as soon as they set foot in the swamp.
Su Qing was the first to take out her small silver axe, while Oh Yeon used a fiery-red spear. Yuan Hao's heart trembled. This fire-attribute spear originally belonged to the Ancient Sword Sect's Meng Kai. During the duel at the Teleportation Formation in the Land of Extremis, he died at the hands of Lu Xiaotian. He didn't expect that Lu Xiaotian would give it to Oh Yeon. He was really generous.
Oh Yeon using a long spear magic weapon was reasonable. However, what made Yuan Hao fearful was that he clearly remembered that Su Qing used a golden whip and a golden flying sword in the Land of Extremis. He didn't expect her to have a sharp silver axe in her hands. In other words, Su Qing had more than two magic weapons in her hands. When did the disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace become so generous? Or did the disciples of other sects run into them? Yuan Hao cursed in his heart.
