Chapter 633
Perhaps the disciples of the Pill Spreading Hall and Wuming Hall had used up all their bad luck in the past few days, so they didn't encounter any obstacles during the rest of the journey.
Cough, cough, it was just that there was nothing worthy of Shaoxia's help.
Although it took them nearly a day to cross the mountain range, and they didn't even set up camp at the appointed place at night. Even after the mountain range, there was a swamp and a torrential stream, but the disciples of the Wuming Hall easily dealt with the small beasts in the grass and the ferocious beasts in the swamp. They only lost a few horses, threw them into a few carriages, and a few disciples were slightly injured.
At noon on the second day, after crossing the swamp and climbing a gentle slope, they came face to face with a vast and verdant forest that seemed to be dripping with water.
Well, it couldn't be said to be a simple forest. Instead, it was an undulating mountainous region. Some parts of the mountainous region had trees that were several feet tall, while other parts had green grass. There were even more places where different types of medicinal herbs were planted!
The most peculiar thing was that this huge mountainous area was faintly shrouded in white fog, and the strong afternoon sun couldn't penetrate it. It was the best place to plant herbs.
Zhang Xiaohua was the last to climb the gentle slope. Seeing this strange scene, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Lu, do you dare to say that this isn't the back garden of our Fragrant Cult?
Oh, the back garden of herbs? "
Lu Chaoxian also had a dumbfounded look on his face. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "I've long heard from my senior brother, but I didn't really believe it. Now it seems that our Pill Expanding Hall's Grass Department should be moved here. The herbs here are almost incomparable to all the herbs planted in the Grass Department."
While the two were talking, the leader of the Wuming Hall, Senior Brother Xu, walked to the leader of the Pill Spreading Hall, Senior Brother Chen. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Chen, this is the Strange Birch Forest. I didn't disappoint you and brought you here safely. The day before yesterday, we were delayed for half a day in the canyon. Now is the time to say goodbye.
Senior Brother Chen also smiled wholeheartedly, "Thank you for the support of the Wuming Hall. I thank you on behalf of all the brothers."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It is my duty."
Then, he pointed to a small river in the distance and said, "I presume that Vice Hall Master Xu has already told us that as long as we don't cross that river and don't climb up the mountain, this area is safe."
Senior Brother Chen nodded, "Now that I've woken up, I won't be able to break through easily. I wish Senior Brother Xu success in your trial. I'll wait here for Senior Brother's good news."
"Hahaha, well said, well said."
Senior Martial Brother Xu whistled and grabbed the reins with both hands. The horse he was sitting on let out a long neigh and headed in another direction.
All of the outer sect disciples turned their horses around, clamped their legs together, and followed.
Lu Lihong was at the back of the group. When all the disciples passed by him, he cupped his hands towards Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Junior Brother Ren, see you later!"
"Haha, Senior Brother Lu, be careful. See you after the trial." Zhang Xiaohua replied politely.
However, Lu Lihong's eyes flashed with a trace of a smile, and he also left.
When the disciples of the Wuming Hall were far away, Senior Martial Brother Chen shouted, "Junior Brothers, this is the Strange Birch Forest, the destination of our trip to the Youlan Grand Canyon. For the next twenty days, we will be staying here.
Look at the herbs everywhere. Many of them are decades old spirit herbs. As long as we bring these spirit herbs back to the Pill Repository Hall, it will be a great merit. Think about it, we don't have to risk our lives like the outer sect disciples. As long as we raise our hands, we can achieve merit like them. Why not? "
"Haha," all the disciples were happy, and said, "Senior Martial Brother Chen is right, we will listen to Senior Martial Brother's arrangement."
Everyone must have made sufficient preparations before coming here, so I won't say more. I just want to emphasize two points: First, pay attention to your safety and don't cross the border. Everyone must know that this area was explored by the predecessors, and if you step out, you will have to bear the consequences. There have been such precedents before, and although there were some who returned safely, there were many who died outside. Second, when picking Spiritual Herbs, you must pay attention to the age. Don't pick those that are less than 75 years old, and only pick those that are older. Haha, if we pick all the herbs and return to the Pill Tower Hall, not only will we not be rewarded, but we will also be punished. Otherwise, five years later, how will our Junior Brothers come to pick again? "
Senior Martial Brother Chen said humorously, and everyone laughed, "I know, Senior Martial Brother, this is just common sense. You should hurry up and give the order. We have long wanted to achieve merit for our Pill Repository Hall!"
Senior Martial Brother Chen nodded, "Then I announce the official start of the 'Youlan Evening Refinement'!"
Then he waved his hand.
Everyone laughed and rushed down the gentle slope in the carriage.
Under the gentle slope, they continued for several miles until they came to a flat place. There were many stones placed here, which seemed to be divided into different areas. Everyone stopped, and under the arrangement of Senior Martial Brother Chen, the disciples of the four peaks each occupied a different area.
There were many spirit herbs in the Strange Birch Forest, and the area was very wide. Naturally, they could not just pick them randomly. Under the leadership of Senior Martial Brother Chen, the disciples of each peak were divided into areas to pick herbs, and then under the leadership of their respective leaders, they went to different places.
The first to go was naturally the disciples of White Mountain Peak. Under the leadership of Senior Martial Brother Chen, they went to the east, followed by the disciples of Three Reeds Peak and Jing Peak. Under the leadership of their respective leaders, they went to the south and west respectively. Finally, the disciples of Tian Mu Peak also moved. The three areas of the Strange Birch Forest were occupied by the disciples of the other peaks, and they only occupied the last area. Although this area was very close to the river, it was still safe. Moreover, the herbs everywhere were lush, and no one could see the difference.
The area near the river was in the north of the Strange Birch Forest. It was not very far, and it did not take long for them to arrive. The three Arhats and Lu Chaoxian divided the area into four areas, each leading a group of disciples to different areas to pick herbs.
Needless to say, Zhang Xiaohua, Lu Chaoxian, and the other eight disciples were considered a group. Although they were few in number, the Strange Birch Forest was very large. Even after being divided again and again, there was still a lot of space for the ten of them to pick. Looking at the lush herbs, Lu Chaoxian and the others smiled. When they returned this time, the rewards from the Hall would definitely not be small.
Senior Martial Brother Wang, who had been bitten by the Five Coloured Snake a few days ago, had completely recovered. He walked in front of Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Junior Brother Ren, I am not willing to say too much about saving your life. I know that you are looking for the 'Ice Soul Grass' that has been here for hundreds of years, but according to the disciples who came here, this thing cannot be found in the area where we picked it. Therefore, Junior Brother Ren wants to go to other places to look for it. And it is best to go now, and not wait until the end to look for it."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "That's right. If there was, it would have been picked five years ago. How could it be left until now?"
Senior Martial Brother Wang smiled and said, "What I mean is, since you are our leader, I will not argue with you. You go look for your Ice Soul Grass, and we brothers will pick it here. I will give half of the herbs I pick to you. Even if you can't pick the 'Ice Soul Grass', there won't be too much loss in other aspects. What do you think?"
Several disciples beside him also said, "Since Senior Martial Brother Wang said so, we can't fall behind. How about we give 85% of the herbs to Junior Brother Ren?"
Seeing the deep affection of the disciples, Zhang Xiaohua was really moved. He also knew that this was the effect of the antidote. This thing was insignificant to him, but in the eyes of others, he was warm-hearted.
Thus, Zhang Xiaohua cupped his hands and said, "I appreciate your kind intentions, Senior Martial Brothers. It's just picking a hundred years old Ice Soul Grass, it's no big deal. You guys go ahead and pick it. If I can't find it, then I will do as you say. If I can pick it, then I will pick it for the rest of the time.
What do you think? "Hearing Zhang Xiaohua's tone, the disciples pretended that they didn't hear it. They only thought that he was comforting them, so they smiled and agreed.
After the crowd left, Zhang Xiaohua touched his nose and the corner of his mouth curved into an unfathomable smile. First, he jumped on top of a tall tree and carefully identified it. Then, he directly used his Qing Gong and flew in a direction.
As he sped, he was secretly proud of his good luck.
How could they not say that Zhang Xiaohua's luck was good?
Cough, cough. Good luck?
At that time, after the gambling fight, didn't they want to use pills to exchange for herbs?
A Senior Martial Brother Liao from the Grass Division came late and wanted to ask for the "Small Bone Congealing Pill", so he used the information of an herb as the price. This herb was the "Ice Soul Grass", and it was also old enough.
That day, Zhang Xiaohua only listened and didn't take it seriously. After all, at that time, he felt that the "Valley Orchid Evening Refinement" was far away from him, so he didn't need to consider it. But things were so coincidental. Zhang Xiaohua was not only sent to the Valley Orchid, but also "made up for his mistakes", so this "Ice Soul Grass" was used as punishment. Thus, when Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the Strange Birch Forest, he had to think about how to go to the place that Senior Martial Brother Liao mentioned and pick the "Ice Soul Grass" first.
Of course, according to what Senior Martial Brother Liao said, the "Ice Soul Grass" had extremely dangerous beasts, so it was no longer within Zhang Xiaohua's scope of consideration. He even planned that if possible, he would wander around that dangerous place more, and it would be best if he could pick the main ingredients of the "Yuhuandan Pill".
Zhang Xiaohua went straight north, and after a while, he arrived at a fast flowing river. He didn't stop and crossed it in a few leaps. Just as he was about to look left and right, and continue his search, he suddenly felt something and released his divine sense. He saw that ten zhang to the west, on the side of a big tree, someone was quietly hiding there, revealing his eyes and observing his back.
