My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 127 Reagents
Dark cave.

Jiang Yuan held the red beads in his hand and stood among the fluorescent fungus grass, staring at the entrance of the cave with all his attention. At this time, his forehead was covered with sweat, his face was pale, and his fatigue was evident.

The girl in feather clothes and the girl Xiao Wu were looking forward to and nervous.

The girl suddenly exclaimed, "Here we come!" Then she hurriedly covered her mouth, fearing to disturb Jiang Yuan.

But he saw the Scarlet Snake Sword hanging from a cloth pocket, slowly and with difficulty floating out from the hole, in the cloth pocket was the spiritual grass Nine Fragrance Insects with leaves like nine insects.

The moment the Budou floated out of the cave, Jiang Yuan staggered, and the Red Snake Flying Sword trembled, as if he was about to fall back into the crypt. Fortunately, the girl in feather clothes stepped forward quickly, grabbing the hilt of the Snake Sword with one hand, and embracing Budou with the other.

"It's finally done!"

Jiang Yuan's tense spirit relaxed, he stumbled back a few steps and leaned against the stone wall, panting heavily on his knees, still unable to relieve the tidal fatigue, he simply sat down on the ground.

Why so tired?

It had been more than half a day since he killed the jade carving toad and found the nine-scented worm. During this period, Jiang Yuan never stopped his imperial envoy, the red snake flying sword.

First use the snake sword to carefully dig out the Jiuxiang worm from the rock bit by bit.

In order not to be disturbed when the Nine Fragrance Insects were brought out of the crypt, they took a lot of effort to kill those giant toads.

After that, I found a way to bring Jiuxiang Chong up from the crypt.

The Red Snake Flying Sword is said to be a flying sword, but it is not the kind of flying sword that is integrated with the body and can turn into rainbow light in Jiang Yuan's impression.

Of course that kind of flying sword can turn into light and fly up wrapped in spirit grass, but the red snake flying sword obviously can't, it is a snake-shaped strange sword that can be controlled from a long distance.

If you use the snake sword roughly, you can only fork the Jiuxiang worm.

But in that case, Jiang Yuan was afraid that he would hurt the spirit grass, and he would not be able to resist the corrosion of the miasma barrier for more than ten miles.

Naturally, Jiang Yuan and the two girls thought of protecting the spirit grass with something, and then brought it up with the snake sword.

But ordinary things, how can they resist the miasma? After trying many times, let alone go to protect the spirit grass, they were corroded into slag before they passed through the miasma barrier and entered the crypt.

After working hard for half a day, he constantly used the red snake flying sword to shuttle back and forth. Jiang Yuan was able to survive until now, all thanks to the fairy spirit in Zhou Tianzhong in his body.

If it wasn't for finding an object from the ochre-yellow cassock in the end, Jiang Yuan and the others would have no choice but to return without success and try to find a solution when they go back.

That object is a piece of strange cloth about two feet long, white as snow, neither silk nor cotton, nor gauze nor silk.

When Jiang Yuan first obtained the ochre-yellow cassock, in addition to millet spiritual seeds, gold mountains, and rare jewels, there were also two special items in it, one was dragon tendons, and the other was this strange cloth of unknown origin.

Occasionally, the dragon's tendon was used, and Jiang Yuan planned to use the dragon's tendon to make a bow in the future, but the cloth was forgotten in a corner for a while, until today.

However, it gave Jiang Yuan a huge surprise. Not only could it resist the miasma, but even the source of the miasma, the "black water" in the crypt, could not corrode it.

So, Jiang Yuan finally brought Jiuxiang Chong up.

After the girl in feather clothes took out a few balls of grass from the cloth pocket, she came to Jiang Yuan and handed the snake sword and the cloth pocket, and said with a smile: "Your sword, and spirit grass."

The secluded grass is the companion of the Nine Fragrance Insect. As for whether it can cure the elder sister's poison, I need to go back and try, but the girl believes that it should be able to.

Jiang Yuan raised his head, pointed at Jiuxiang Chong and said, "This is a long-lived thing."

The girl in feather clothes showed a curious expression, "Can you live forever if you eat it?"

Xiaowu, a girl who put away the grass happily, jumped over excitedly, glanced at Jiuxiang Chong, and said in distaste: "It's so ugly, it's full of bugs, no wonder it grows in the toad's nest."

The girl's words gave Jiang Yuan a flash of inspiration, and he blurted out: "The toad eats insects, and the bad water blooms."

The girl in feather clothes froze for a moment, and then said with a bright smile: "This sentence, fellow daoist, can't be more appropriate to describe the scene of the crypt."

Jiang Yuan shook his head with a smile, pointed at Jiuxiang Chong again and said, "This matter is due to the joint efforts of you and me, this immortal creature."

The girl in feather clothes interrupted Jiang Yuan, and said firmly: "It belongs to fellow Taoist!"

The girl next to her, Xiao Wu, also nodded without hesitation.

Nine Fragrance Insects are the ten herbs "monarch medicine" that Fang Ding needs, of course Jiang Yuan wants it, but he has to take it openly and clearly.

The girl in feather clothes looked at Jiang Yuan fixedly, and said sincerely: "Fellow Daoist helped me many times, but my sister couldn't give me any rewards. I'm already ashamed. I can only keep the kindness of fellow Daoist in my heart and repay it in the future."

The girl's tone became low, with shame floating on her face, she sighed and said, "If it's not really impossible this time, we don't want to bother fellow Taoists again. It seems that our sisters have no face and no skin, and they want to make progress."

"That's why even if this Nine Cordyceps can make people achieve the Heavenly Immortal Dao fruit immediately, our sisters will not be infected, so they should be friends."

Jiang Yuan met the girl's determined gaze, and then smiled, "Actually, I really need this spiritual herb."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand to take the Snake Sword, then the Budou, and took out the Nine Fragrance Insect from it.

The girl in feather clothes and the girl smiled happily at the same time, and didn't ask Jiang Yuan what he was going to do, just said, "Friend Daoist, rest for a while, let's dig some fungi." They turned around and went to work.

Jiang Yuan looked at the backs of the two women, smiled, and lowered his head to look at the Nine Insect Spirit Grass.

It was a complete surprise.

In fact, Jiang Yuan didn't intend to collect Fang Ding and ten herbs recently, so he only entrusted the medicine shop and let it happen.

What he originally thought was that on the sixth day of June next year, he would go to the gathering of the younger generation in Shizhou and Sandao, and directly inquire about the brothers and sisters of He Maocai.

However, generally speaking, monarch medicine is the most difficult to find. Now that the Nine Fragrance Insect is in hand, maybe there is no need to wait any longer, and now you can start collecting two kinds of minister medicine - Tianbu Lao and Wannian Chun.

Compared with the relief on the Fang Ding, the Nine Fragrance Insect in front of him lacks the charm and aura, probably immature, Jiang Yuan looked at it for a while, then put on the ocher robe and threw it into the Fang Ding.

Then in his hands, there were only the Red Snake Flying Sword and the strange snow-white cloth left.

"You made a great contribution today."

Jiang Yuan smiled and stroked the snake-shaped flying sword. After half a day of intensive practice, Jiang Yuan felt that he could embroider with the flying sword now.

He also likes this snake sword even more, and plans to refine it again in the future to become a real flying sword.

The last is the strange cloth, Jiang Yuan secretly wondered: "What is your origin?"

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuan had almost recovered, and the girl in feather clothes had collected enough fluorescent fungus grass.

The juice of fluorescent grass can deodorize and prevent poison. Because of what happened to the eldest sister, Baiyuntan is now very concerned about detoxification, so he wants to take it back and cultivate it at home.

Jiang Yuan and the others set off early in the morning, but when they walked out of the cave and returned to the Miasma Valley, the sky was already full of stars.

It took another hour to slowly walk through the dark valley full of poisonous water, and found Suan Ni who was dozing outside the valley.

"You can tame this spirit beast."

Jiang Yuan pointed at Suan Ni who was obediently waiting for them, and looked at the girl in feather clothes with a smile.

The girl chuckled and said, "It has no place to go, so it promised to be a caretaker for us."

The girl Xiao Wu jumped over, patted Suan Ni on the head and shouted: "Big head, wake up."

Big head?

Suan Ni's head is round and thick, and the hair is sprayed out, which is also appropriate.

"woohoo"

Suan Ni opened her sleepy eyes, called out to the girl, turned around and fell down.

The two women sat on the 狻猊, and Jiang Yuan, wearing the ocher-yellow cassock to guard against the wind, rushed into the night sky one after the other, and returned to Baiyun Lake soon.

The girl Xiao Wu couldn't wait to jump down first, pinched a magic spell on the edge of the pool, an invisible water pattern swayed, and a house half embedded in the mountain slowly emerged.

"Eldest sister, third sister, fourth sister, we're back!" the girl shouted at the top of her voice.

Two lanterns lit up in front of the house, there was no plaque on the door, only two columns of couplets: "White clouds in the secluded pool, free in the green hills"

The girl's words didn't stop, and a burst of footsteps came rushing forward. Three beautiful girls with different postures rushed out and asked nervously: "Xiao Er (Second Sister), Xiao Wu, you are finally back!"

The eldest sister with fair skin and a beautiful face hugged the girl into her arms, and said with a worried face: "Why have you been here for so long, are you in danger?"

The plump third sister and the heroic fourth sister also pulled the girl and put their arms around the girl in feather clothes, and cried out in concern: "Yes, we are all dying of anxiety, are you all right?"

The girls didn't ask about the result, they were all concerned.

"Big sister, third sister and fourth sister, do you see that Xiaowu and I have an accident? Also, Fellow Daoist Jiang is still here."

The girl in feather clothes took a lot of effort to appease the good sisters.

The three elder sisters calmed down, looked at Jiang Yuan embarrassedly, and apologized softly: "You have neglected Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hands, expressing his indifference.

Seeing that the girl's eyes were bloodshot, her face was haggard, and her brows and eyes were full of sorrow, she knew that the poison had just relapsed, so she reminded: "Let's try the effect of the spirit grass first."

The girl Xiaowu took the opportunity to break free from the arms of her sisters, took out the companion spirit grass of Nine Fragrance Insect, and shouted, "Yes, yes, big sister, try it quickly."

"Thank you fellow daoist, and Xiao Er Xiao Wu, I will trouble you."

The eldest sister looked at the lingcao, first expressed her gratitude, and then led Jiang Yuan to the courtyard.

"It's not urgent, you should take a good rest first."

Baiyuntan house, when Xiao Wu came to look for Jiang Yuan yesterday, he had already shown Jiang Yuan around.

The part of the entire mansion located in front of the mountain is the outer courtyard, which is bright, elegant and quiet.The one inside the mountain is the backyard, the boudoir of the five sisters, Jiang Yuan has never been there.

Apart from the five sisters, there was no one else in the courtyard. Jiang Yuan followed the girls into the living room, and saw the eldest sister making tea, the third sister getting pastries, and the fourth sister going to hang up the lanterns in the courtyard.

The girls were so busy that Jiang Yuan was too embarrassed to sit down.He didn't relax until the refreshments were ready and everyone was seated.

"We are all friends, so the formalities are omitted, let's take a look at the spirit grass first."

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea and said directly.

If it weren't for the elder sister to suppress, the other girls would have been unable to bear it long ago. After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, they immediately looked at the elder sister eagerly.

The eldest sister who had just sat down sighed and had no choice but to stand up again: "Forget it, I'll try first."

"Xiao Er, stay here to entertain fellow Daoist Jiang, and I."

The elder sister was still thinking about Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it."

The second sister glanced at Jiang Yuan, walked over to help the beautiful girl, and said with a light smile: "Elder sister, Jiang Daoyou is so kind to us, we are not outsiders."

"Yes, yes, go test the medicine."

The girl Xiaowu held the spirit grass in one hand, and led her eldest sister to the inner room with the other. The other girls bowed slightly to Jiang Yuan, and hurriedly followed.

Because the house is full of girls, the decoration everywhere reveals the elegance and gentleness of women, and naturally the smell of rouge and incense is indispensable.

Jiang Yuan sat alone in the living room, ate some cakes to fill his stomach, drank a few cups of tea, and waited for about two sticks of incense, when the girl Xiaowu screamed in joy from the inner room.

"It seems useful."
