Chapter 108: Obtaining the Cinnamon Grass - Chapter 109: The World of Ice and Snow (Two chapters released at once, seeking monthly tickets! Will release another chapter tonight if situation permits!)
A group of people formally stepped into Autumn Valley, the scenery in Autumn Valley is pleasant to the eye, more enchanting than the previous two valleys. In the distance, a layer of light mist floated vaguely, giving people a sense of hazy beauty.
It is very quiet here, except for the sound of the stream flowing, the rustling of leaves and other plants in the wind, and the occasional sounds that seem to be a mixture of insect and bird calls.
Zhuo Yifan whispered into the secret passage: "Let's go, be careful, try not to disturb the creatures hiding in the woods." Transferring sound into the ear was actually a technique where one used their internal energy to wrap their voice and transmit it directly into the other person's ear. This skill was something that all top-level masters would naturally understand, and wasn't some sort of secret method.
Qiu Gu is not unfamiliar to Zhuo Yifan and others, because they also often come here for training, treasure hunting or doing tasks. However, they are still very careful, in Qiu Gu except for some poisonous insects with active attack, as long as you keep quiet, it's relatively safe.
Yang Tianwen followed Zhuo Yifan, taking a detour to the east and west. In many places where they could have gone straight through, Zhuo Yifan did not take the direct route, but instead circled around before passing by. After they had passed, Yang Tianwen asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you come directly over just now?" Yang Tianwen had a strong sense of perception and hadn't noticed anything unusual about the place.
"Hehe, you don't know this, but that forest has a small pond with a terrifying monster crocodile at the bottom. Anyone who gets close will be attacked. Here, you can't fly into the sky because as soon as you do, you'll become a living target and attract countless flying spirit insects to attack you. This is also why we didn't fly up there. In the forest, what you need to pay attention to most are the territories of these special monsters. I don't know if it's because of the water itself or because the pond is too deep, or maybe it's because of the monster crocodile itself, but even spiritual awareness can't detect it." Zhuo Yifan transmitted his voice secretly to Yang Tianwen, carefully explaining.
Yang Tian was speechless for a moment, the vast world, nothing is impossible, and yet even spiritual awareness can't detect it. I don't know where my divine consciousness formed after my primordial spirit condensed. "Xiao Bai, can you sense its existence?" Yang Tian asked in his heart.
"I can't. I'm still young and this place is too strange." Xiaobai replied gloomily.
Yang Tian couldn't help but become even more cautious, indeed this place was too strange, even Xiao Bai said so.
"However, there are quite a few spiritual medicines nearby. They're all over 300 years old, and some are even over 500 years." Xiaobai added, trying to show off his strength.
Yang Tian nodded. Without mentioning whether to collect or not, the autumn valley was simply a surge in danger compared to the spring valley. The forest was full of strange and mysterious things everywhere, making Yang Tian dare not move rashly. After all, his main goal was still the 500-year-old Cassia tree.
Other elixirs are no longer needed. Wait until the yuan Shen is formed and then collect them again, it's the same. With increased strength, what's to fear about not having elixirs?
They kept walking back and forth, but the overall direction had not changed. As they walked, Yang Tian asked for explanations. Where was what, and what needed to be avoided; here was what, and there was what, and what needed to be careful about. Yang Tian relied on his extraordinary brain to remember them one by one, even these extremely complex routes, without decades of experience, it's hard to understand the notes that were memorized in an instant, and also formed a map in his mind.
If it's a forced breakthrough, I'm afraid only Yuan Ying period cultivators with powerful magical artifacts might be able to make it through. Otherwise, it's certain death. Zhuo Yifan and the others can venture into Autumn Valley only because of their caution, strict discipline, and hundred years of experience. Remember, it's an adventure, not a reckless risk.
After several days, the group finally stopped. In these few days, Yang Tianwen had seen many real objects and dangers. Zhuo Yifan was a very competent captain, basically every time he could lead them to turn danger into safety under his leadership without having major conflicts with various giant spirit insects.
"It's right here, behind this forest, there is a heavenly pit, and on the steep cliffs around the heavenly pit, not a few patches of cinnamon grass grow, with varying years." Zhuo Yifan transmitted his voice, "However, there is a strange wind in this heavenly pit. When collecting medicine, be careful not to touch it, otherwise you will be rolled to the bottom of the heavenly pit and may not survive. This strange wind is very unusual and has no rules. We once guarded here for two months and still couldn't find its rule. You should think carefully about whether you really want to go and collect it. If you insist on collecting it, you can try your luck." After finishing speaking, he took out a lock chain made of Xuan Tie, which was several thousand meters long, seemingly specially crafted, and handed it over.
Yang Tian nodded, wrapped the chain around his waist and handed the other end to Zhuo Yifan. He transmitted a message: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. This Rougui grass is a must-have for me." He then asked Xiaobai to keep watch and took out an extreme defense talisman, infused it with true energy, stuck it on himself, and jumped down directly.
As early as when the lock chain was tied, Yang Tianwen had already asked Xiao Bai about the position of the 500-year-old cinnamon grass. When jumping, he chose a precise location to jump down.
One meter, two meters, ten meters, one hundred meters, it's just like what Xiao Bai said, the deeper you go, the older the cinnamon grass growing on the steep cliff is.
At about a kilometer, Yang Tian asked with quick eyes and hands to grab a cinnamon grass growing on the cliff wall. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed five hundred years old. Yang Tian asked was still falling, but his hand movements were not slow. After collecting the second thousand-year-old cinnamon grass, Yang Tian asked dared not be greedy again. He used the Feather Floating Technique, and his body stopped falling. With the Divine Movement Technique on him, he used the Empty Step to rise upwards. At this time, a strange gust of wind suddenly came from the bottom of the Heavenly Pit and shot straight up.
Yang Tianwen could feel it approaching, and if this strange wind was as fierce as Zhuo Yifan said, Yang Tianwen would not dare to take risks. More than 300 auras were activated, ready to flash away at any moment. His eyes stared motionlessly at the Taoist in front of him, and as soon as there was any movement, he would immediately react accordingly. His spirit had already connected with the Nine Curves Yellow River Array Disk and the Suppressing Array Nine Palaces Seal in the compass.
"Is your surname Yang?" asked the old Daoist Xuanxin, still calm and standing in his original position, without making a single move or showing any hostility.
Xuan Xin? Do you know this name yourself? I don't know, it just seems like I've heard it somewhere before, but I didn't pay attention and can't remember. "Elder Xuan Xin, I am indeed surnamed Yang, I wonder how you knew?" Yang Tian asked fearlessly, after all, he had an ace up his sleeve, so he put down his fearful heart and replied calmly.
Xiao Shui will see the situation tonight and explode another chapter for everyone. Hope everyone can respond to Xiao Shui's enthusiasm, but don't discourage me, okay? If it explodes tonight, it won't count as part of the 300 monthly ticket bonus. If we reach 300 today, I'll explode two chapters tonight.
Everyone has seen that Xiaoshui has done his best and worked hard.
