Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 7 Discovering the source of the poison
"Woo... ah..."

Just when Xu Chen stopped observing the meridian and dantian, there was a faint sound in his chest, and there was a slight squirm. Xu Chen suddenly remembered that he had brought back a little fox, and quickly took it out of his arms. Pulled out.

The little fox's breath was very weak, and it looked as if it was dead. It couldn't even open its eyes, and its barking was barely audible.

Xu Chen couldn't help frowning. People who cultivate immortals like to raise spirit beasts, but there are very few who raise spirit foxes, because spirit foxes are very intelligent, and live in groups in families, and they are also very vigilant. First, it is not easy to catch, and second, it is useful. not big.

This little guy who was picked up at random doesn't seem to be full moon yet. Even if he wants to raise it, he seems to have no energy, mainly because he has no milk.

But Xu Chen couldn't bear to watch it starve to death.

It seems that I need to find someone with milk to help me.

The proud and upright chest of Seventh Senior Sister Qu Mei first appeared in his mind, which seemed more appropriate, but Seventh Senior Sister went down the mountain.

In addition, the only female on the mountain is Zhao Xuan, the thirteenth senior sister.

But thinking about her flat body, I am afraid that breastfeeding will become a problem in the future.

Except for the two senior sisters, the rest is a group of unreliable senior brothers, not to mention the little foxes, they are all hungry and full to live, and like Xu Chen, they are very resistant to hunger.

How to do?
Xu Chen got numb, thought for a while and got up, went to the side to scoop up half a bowl of spring water, opened the little fox's mouth and poured some randomly, then threw it on the stone slab to bask in the sun.

All that's left is to deal with a freshly recovered pile of weird shit.

This thing should be highly poisonous, otherwise it would not have poisoned a large nest of foxes to death, so Xu Chen didn't dare to use his consciousness to touch it again, so he could only dump it on the ground and use a wooden stick to push it away Observe carefully.

There are a lot of poisonous things in heaven, material and earth treasures. Even ordinary spiritual materials and elixir are highly poisonous when used on ordinary people.

But it was the first time Xu Chen encountered poisonous feces.

This lump of feces should not be in a complete form, but it seems to have been thrown out from somewhere. It just fell on the rocky cliff above the Linghu cave, and then polluted the spring water that dripped into the spirit fox's lair, eventually causing a litter. The foxes were all poisoned, and this time was not long.

However, the origin of such a terrifying pile of poop made him unable to fathom.

The vicinity of Taiyuan Gate is thousands of miles away, and he knows all the spirit beasts and monsters clearly. The strongest one is the third-order wolf in the southeast. Tier [-] varieties are threatening, but the threat is not great. Each has a fixed living territory, and they don't hang out with each other.

So this strange turd was definitely not left by a native beast.

So... did it fall from the sky?
Xu Chen couldn't help but looked up at the sky.

Lofty, blue, clear, clear sky, as clean as if it had been licked by a dog.

If there really was such a terrifying monster or spirit beast passing by the Taiyuan Gate, it is logical that the two elders with profound morals would not notice it.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally Xu Chen didn't think about it at all.

Now his most urgent consideration is how to deal with this pile of feces.

Is it directly buried in the medicine garden, or what should I do?
The composition of the feces is very complex, mixed with undigested grass roots, broken bones, shells, fruit cores and even grain-like things, it is obviously an omnivorous food monster, and it seems to have some indigestion, the feces are sticky, and the stomach is not very good healthy.

Suddenly, a finger-sized object that looked like a blue jade bead was turned out.

"Hey, what is this?"

Xu Chen was very curious, so he picked out the jade bead with a wooden stick, stepped on the grass and rubbed it back and forth a few times, and then clamped it with two wooden sticks to observe carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more amazed he was. This thing was crystal clear, with dark blue spots like stars inside, releasing a dazzling blue halo in the sunlight.

He couldn't help releasing his consciousness to touch it, and suddenly a cloud of blue light appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness like the sun, emitting fiery energy, and there was a terrible stabbing pain in his soul, as if his soul had been scalded by a red-hot iron. Suddenly, he groaned in pain and fell down, Yuzhu also fell to the grass.

This stuff is poisonous.

Xu Chen made a judgment in an instant, sat up clutching his forehead with lingering fear, stared at Yuzhu for a while, then carefully picked it up again with a wooden stick, went to the puddle and rinsed it with spring water.

This time it looked clearer, the blue spots inside were really emitting light like stars, and the whole jade bead was dazzling, making one's soul throbbing.

This must be a baby.

Xu Chen immediately made an accurate judgment.

In the world of cultivating immortals, all kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures are so strange that even a great monk in the spiritual realm who can destroy the world will never be able to know everything exhaustively. Things are bound to be different.

Treasure must not leak out.

Xu Chen quickly put it in his pocket, and squatted down excitedly to continue digging, but he didn't find anything else.

Perhaps this is the root cause of the poisoning of feces. Xu Chen became more courageous, put the feces back into the back basket, and quickly carried it to the medicine garden.

The so-called dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, and the resurrection wood is about to die. He doesn't care if it is poisonous or not. He decided to bury this special manure. It's just a great achievement, if he dies, he's dead. It doesn't have much to do with him as a scumbag apprentice who started practicing Qi training. At most he will be punished, and at worst he will be driven down the mountain.

In fact, after several years of practice, he has already begun to have a bad mentality.

Because of his rubbish spiritual roots, his greatest achievement in this life is doomed to be at the Kaiyuan stage. If there is no great opportunity, his lifespan will only be tens of hundreds of years, which is no different from ordinary mortals.

What's more, picking up dung in the mortal world is also picking up dung in the fairy gate. It seems that the meaning of life is the same.

After all, since going up the mountain, I haven't even eaten a decent hot meal. Why not be at the bottom of the mountain with a group of poor children and orphans who are also lonely and serve as domestic servants for a rich family. You can even tease the maids a little bit, and if you are lucky, you can even start a family have a baby.

In this barren mountain, I can't even find a partner to talk to.

Being alone all day is no different from this mountain full of vegetation.

If this is cultivating immortals, what's the point of dying alone?
Although his heart was in a mess, Xu Chen dug a hole seriously and buried the feces around the Resurrection Tree. After checking that there was still some left, he simply mixed a large amount of rot and sprinkled it evenly in the medicine field.

The other spiritual herbs in the medicine garden are also not growing as expected, and the quality is getting worse and worse.

If this spirit animal excrement is really effective, it may also have unexpected changes.

After finishing his work, he went to the small pool under the waterfall and took off his clothes to take a bath. Just as he took off his clothes, he saw a cyan light from far to near, and soon fell on the edge of the pool. It was Zhao Xuan, the thirteenth senior sister.

Xu Chen hurriedly covered his lower body with his clothes, and said with embarrassment, "Why are you here, Senior Sister?"

Zhao Xuan looked at Xu Chen's embarrassment, covered her mouth with a giggle and said, "Why are you nervous, senior sister won't eat you."

Xu Chen laughed dryly, "No one comes here in the barren mountains, and it's not impossible for senior sister to eat..."

"Pfft, you have a good idea!" Zhao Xuan spat, then turned her head and said, "I'll see how the Resurrection Tree is growing, and also see if you're not slacking off."

Xu Chen pointed to the medicine garden and said, "The Resurrection Tree is in the medicine garden. Sister, go and see for yourself. I just weeded and fertilized, and I'm about to take a bath."

"Then you wash it, I'll go and have a look!"

Zhao Xuan turned around and went to the medicine garden, Xu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and jumped into the pool, scrubbed carelessly a few times and got up to get dressed.

"Junior Brother is not good, why does this Resurrection Tree seem to be dying?"

Zhao Xuan's voice sounded in the medicine garden, Xu Chen put on his clothes calmly, walked over and said with a bitter face, "I don't know why this happened, I noticed some signs of withering a few days ago."

"Then what should I do?" Zhao Xuan's complexion changed drastically, she turned around and grabbed Xu Chen's arm and said anxiously: "The third elder asked me to observe carefully, I haven't come here for only a few days, how did it become like this?"

Xu Chen spread his hands and said: "You ask me, I'll ask who to go to, the resurgence tree bloomed suddenly, I wondered if it felt like it was dying, so I wanted to struggle hard to see if it could bear fruit and pass on to the family, but failed .”

Zhao Xuan stomped her feet anxiously, "Anytime, you are still in the mood to joke."

Xu Chen said helplessly, "Then what should we do?"

"No, I have to report this matter to the third elder immediately, otherwise we will be punished if we die." Zhao Xuan threw the flying sword and flew towards Chaoyang Peak.

Xu Chen shrugged his shoulders and sat down to rest. After a while, he saw a ray of light coming suddenly, and it landed in front of the Resurrection Tree in the blink of an eye. It was the third elder.

"Why did it suddenly become like this?"

The third elder looked at the withered flowers and the slightly yellowed and wilted branches, his snow-white beard and eyebrows were trembling violently.

Xu Chen stepped forward and whispered cautiously: "I don't know, but it started to wither a few days ago. I went to the alchemy room once, but you are at a critical moment in alchemy, so you didn't dare to disturb the report."

The third elder's face suddenly changed from green to white, and finally he sighed and said: "Forget it, time and fate, this resurrection tree seems to have come to an end, my Taiyuan Sect is not blessed to get this treasure, so that's it! "

After the third elder finished speaking, Ren Youruo suddenly aged a lot, looked up to the sky and sighed again, then flung his sleeves and walked away.

Seeing the thin and old figure go away, Xu Chen couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.

The third elder established the foundation for more than [-] years, but he stopped at the late stage of the True Yuan Realm and made no further progress, so he put all his thoughts on taking care of the mountain gate and cultivating the younger generation. The best news that he went up to the mountain to practice Taoism in a hundred years, but it was a pity that he was completely drowned by a bucket of ice water within a few days.

"If only this manure really worked!"

Xu Chen muttered to pack his basket and go back to his residence, but at the same time, he was still thinking that it would be great if he could go to the fox cave and bring back some excrement, maybe he could save it.

It's a pity that the third-rank demon wolf has occupied the territory of Linghu. The danger is too great. Even the third elder dare not provoke it.
