Chapter 435: Yuan Ming's Wrath
...
Looking at Ou Chuyang's thoughtful look, Qiling suddenly smiled: "What? Are you moved?"
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang gave Qiling a blank look: "No, who can't be moved? That's an advanced martial art." Ou Chuyang replied, then a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and said: "However, it's useless to be moved, it's useless to participate without strength."
In fact, Ou Chuyang had already been moved by Qi Ling's words. However, Ou Chuyang knew his situation and was poisoned. At present, it is still hard to say whether his life can be preserved. Qi Ling, who did not understand Ou Chuyang's situation, shrugged indifferently when he saw that Ou Chuyang was not what he said. Then he felt that he was not saying enough, and suddenly smirked and said mysteriously: "In fact, if you can become a strong man on the holy list, there is another great benefit."
"There are other benefits? What are the benefits?"
"Hehe." Qi Ling laughed strangely, lay in Ou Chuyang's ear and whispered: "You know, the higher the ranking on the holy list, the more likely it is to be favored by the beauties on the beauty list. This benefit is no less than the collection of the martial arts pavilion."
"Damn." After hearing this, Ou Chuyang immediately sneered and thought to himself: I thought it was a good thing, but it turned out that this kid was talking about this.
Contemptuously, Ou Chuyang glared at Qiling and did not answer. Seeing that Ou Chuyang was not moved by his words, Qiling looked disdainful, and said in surprise: "Ah~? I can't tell, you kid is still very calm. You know, all the beauties on the list of beauty are all the people of Tianxiang and China."
After glaring at Qiling again, Ou Chuyang said speechlessly: "Did you learn these things after two years of coming to the holy land? I think, if you have time, you should focus on your cultivation. What is this? This is Shangwu Academy, which is too small compared to the Brave Continent."
It seemed that he did not fully understand what Ou Chuyang meant, Qiling was stunned on the spot. He was very unaware that his "blockbuster" would attract admiration when he talked to any new student in the past, but now, the young man who was a lot of him in front of him was not distracted. Inevitably, Qiling's gaze at Ou Chuyang began to change slightly, and this transformation made this young man who had been to the academy for two years also feel incredible.
Ignoring Qiling, after listening to the former introduction, Ou Chuyang was still as dull as before, sitting on the ground without saying a word. At this time, time was still far from the sunset, so he did not plan to go back. After carefully checking the few elixirs left, Ou Chuyang decided to sell all the elixirs before leaving. He didn't want to sit here the next day and waste time. According to Ou Chuyang's thought, it would be better to go to the Life Pool to practice well and improve as soon as possible.
As time passed, the red sun finally fell to the horizon in the west. After reluctance to release his last red light, darkness finally fell to the earth. At this time, Ou Chuyang had already returned to the medicine garden.
On the simple wooden table, dozens of shining spiritual beast crystal cores were placed, while Ou Chuyang stood in front of the table, the splendor in his eyes was brighter than the strongest period. He clenched his fists, and sweat had already been densely spread in his palms. Perhaps because of his excessive force, the dense sweat slid down the gap on his fists. In the hut, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of a residual red candle on the table burning, Ou Chuyang's whisper was even more echoing.
"Holy List, Martial Arts Pavilion."
Yuanming. One is an elderly man about 60 years old. At the age of fifteen, this man was qualified to enter the holy land with the strength of a junior martial guard. During the five years of cultivation in the holy land, Yuanming's strength increased so much until he was promoted to the realm of a fourth-level martial artist. Because he had the same transcendent talent as martial artists in alchemy, he was left by the dean of the holy land at that time and became one of the mentors of the holy land.
From then on, Yuan Ming lived in the holy land for thirty-two years, and never left the holy land area for a long time. Although he lived in this same place, the old man was not at all bored. It was also because of Yuan Ming's firm nature that he was praised by the old dean, so his status was raised all the way in the holy land, and finally he took the position of the elder and began to manage the Holy Land Medicine Garden.
This is the eighth year after Yuan Ming became an elder, and he has been sleeping with medicine for decades, which has made this strong-minded old man already fall in love with this Baixi medicinal field full of herbal fragrance.
Yuanming had a habit of walking out of his residence every morning and walking in the medicine garden. During this process, he would always take care of almost every herb planted in the medicine garden like taking care of his own children. In his eyes, even if there were some high-level herbs that were so rare that any alchemist would be crazy about being planted on the mainland, they were the objects of their hearts, just like those ordinary low-level herbs. In Yuanming's heart, there was no level of herbs. They were all living things like spirit beasts or humans.
As long as you walk in the medicine garden filled with the rich fragrance of medicine, Yuanming will feel an indescribable sense of tranquility and peace in his heart. But today is completely different from the past. The reason is that when he walked to a place in the medicine garden, Yuanming found that most of the large area of Fengyin grass planted here had disappeared.
Yuanming had discovered this situation a while ago, but at that time, only a few plants were missing every day. But recently, Yuanming discovered that the Fengyin grass was decreasing day by day. Until today, more than half of the Fengyin grass in this large area of planting land had disappeared strangely for some reason.
This discovery made the old man who loved flowers very angry. After frowning and observing for a while, Yuan Ming finally discovered that the soil in this area where wind chanting grass actually had traces of being excavated.
"Who is on duty today? Come out for me." In anger, Yuanming stood up and shouted loudly to the sky. Then, a thin young man ran over in panic.
Seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Yuan Ming asked sternly: "Qi Ling, it's your turn to be on duty today."
The young man was Qiling, and after hearing Yuan Ming’s question, the present immediately gave a respectful gift: “Go back to the elder, it’s me.”
Yuan Ming looked slightly angry, pointed to a piece of ground empty because the wind yin grass disappeared, and scolded sternly: "Tell me what's going on?"
Listening to Yuan Ming's harsh yell, Qiling hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. When he saw the empty ground with only soil, he immediately sweated like rain.
"this…"
Seeing Qiling stammering and speaking in a silence, Yuan Ming couldn't help but be furious: "Where is Fengyincao? Take a look. This is obviously discovered by someone, and it is a lot of excavation. How did you be on duty?"
Perhaps because he saw the herbs being dug out in large quantities, Yuan Ming was so angry that he was very angry that his angry words were mixed with a slight internal force, and he was stinging out loud, which scared Qi Ling to retreat a few steps.
"Actually..., yes..."
"Don't hesitate, say it quickly."
"Yes." Qi Ling trembled all over and didn't dare to hide it anymore. She immediately replied truthfully: "Actually, this was done by Ou Chuyang, and he also dug it with your permission."
"Ou Chuyang?" Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then his anger became even more intense. However, when Qiling was waiting for the former's anger, Yuan Ming disappeared.
His eyes flashed frequently. After a while, Yuan Ming did not exclaim as Qi Ling expected, but instead gradually calmed down.
After eased a little, Yuan Ming asked, "Where is he now? Let him come to see me immediately."
"Back to the elder, Ou Chuyang went out to hunt with a group of new students this morning. It will probably take two days to come back."
"Not here?" Yuan Ming was stunned.
"Yes, he is not in the medicine garden now." Qi Lingzhen replied slightly.
"Hmph! This boy." He cursed in his heart, and then Yuan Ming ordered Qiling: "No matter when he comes, as long as he comes back, he will come to see me immediately." After that, Yuan Ming shook his sleeves fiercely and left.
Seeing Yuan Ming leave, Qiling didn't even move, and watched Yuan Ming leave in fear. Until the old and tall back disappeared from his sight, Qiling let out a long sigh, looked at the empty ground, and murmured: "Ou Chuyang, you are causing trouble now."
The thick black fog, like the dead energy of hell, lingered in the dark mountains all year round. In this strange area with a very depressing atmosphere, a group of people were carefully plucking the dense weeds and slowly moving forward.
"Be careful, there is a level 3 area ahead. Somehow, I heard from the old student that the spirit beasts in the dark mountains seem to have spiritual intelligence recently. They don't appear alone like before, and now they are living in groups of people in the woods. So, we must be more careful. If we encounter a large number of spirit beasts, we must not act rashly. After all, with our strength, it is okay to deal with a small number of spirit beasts, but with more, the danger will be too great."
While moving forward carefully, a girl in a white dress reminded the rest of the team while walking.
"Ou Chuyang, this is your first time coming out. Some places are not familiar with each other, so don't walk around." The girl in white specially reminded the boy around her.
The boy was Ou Chuyang, and the one who reminded him was Dongfang Xue.
Hearing Dongfang Xue’s reminder, Ou Chuyang did not answer, but nodded heavily, with an extremely solemn expression.
"Hey." It seemed like the low and inaudible cry that was squeezed out from the throat. Xu Jie'er in the team slowly approached Ou Chuyang and asked, "Why do you have to come here? The wind wolf here is a group of spirit beasts, which is difficult to deal with."
He turned his head slightly, Ou Chuyang did not hide it and replied in a low voice: "Because there are only black roots here, and there are a lot of them."
"Are you going to refine pills?" Xu Jie'er asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang stopped talking, but nodded and gave the other party a affirmation.
It turned out that Ou Chuyang had been reluctant to drag Xu Jie'er and others down before, and was unwilling to go out to hunt in the holy land. But what he didn't expect was that the black roots that refine Xu Jie'er in the medicine garden were very rare. After digging for a few days, he found that the maturity period of the black roots was very long. In this way, it was impossible to guarantee that the Xu Jie'er and others would hand over the Xu Jie'er to Xiao Jingling on time. So in desperation, Ou Chuyang looked through the Acropolis of Herbs, and after some research, he finally decided to ask Xu Jie'er and others for help and came to this area with abundant black roots. However, what he didn't expect was that not only the black roots were abundant, but also many third-level spirit beasts: the Wind Wolf.
The dark mountains, which are shrouded in black fog all year round, cannot be fully shined by the warm sunlight, and appear extremely dark even at noon on the sky.
Through the weeds covered with thorns, several faint rays of light were projected out from it, shooting directly onto a canine spirit beast that was a circle larger than a wolfdog in the dense forest.
Lying among the weeds and smelling the wet and rotten smell from the soil beneath him, Ou Chuyang subconsciously frowned: "It smells so bad. The environment here is much worse than the Sun Mu Forest. Although it is also a scene of an ancient jungle, there is still sunlight there after all. But here..." He raised his head with difficulty, Ou Chuyang looked at the sky covered by black fog above his head, and did not notice the blue it should have.
"Maybe this is the worst natural area on the mainland." Xu Jie'er, who was also in the same position as Ou Chuyang, sighed, but her voice seemed low and unforgettable. If Ou Chuyang had not been close, she would not have heard what Xu Jie'er was saying.
Ou Chuyang looked at Xu Jie'er, who was on guard all over and didn't even look at him, and asked, "You should have some understanding of the environment here. Why haven't I seen Wu Gen yet?"
"Don't worry, it should be right in front of you. However, there is a level 3 wind wolf there, we need to be careful." Before Xu Jie'er could answer, Dongfang Xue, behind Ou Chuyang, spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang nodded, then turned his head carefully, looked at Dongfang Xue and Xiao Ling'er beside her, and asked, "Where is Owen?" When he saw that there was no Owen among the five people in the al-Fang, Ou Chuyang subconsciously asked.
"He went to check the situation around him." Feeling Ou Chuyang's eyes, Dongfang Xue replied.
"I can't stand it anymore. When will I wait like this? I'll kill it." While waiting, Xiao Ling'er suddenly complained, and then his figure lying on the ground was about to rise up. Obviously, this girl who looked cold but had a hot heart began to unable to bear the unpleasant smell around her, so she had to take action.
"Calm down." Seeing Xiao Ling'er's figure that was about to move, Dongfang Xue pressed her on the shoulder of the former and hurriedly stopped her: "You forgot that when we came last time, wasn't it just because a student alarmed a wind wolf? How much did it come in the end? If it weren't for Irving's sister, we would have been buried in the dark mountains that time.
Listening to Dongfang Xue's persuasion, Xiao Ling'er's move-moving figure finally did not move the next step and lay steadily on the ground, but the disgust on her delicate cheeks did not decrease at all.
At this time, Xu Jie'er also lowered her waist and moved slowly, looking at Xiao Ling'er and said, "Xue'er is right, don't worry first, wait until Owen comes back before talking about it."
