I'm the villain, I choose to swing

Chapter 225 Yuanyingqi sits at the adults’ table
A bustling inn.

Chen Changying was sitting alone in a remote corner.

Looking at the steaming tea on the table, he silently opened his ear attribute and was listening for some information.

Earlier, when the new target location was determined.

He rushed here without stopping.

He also explained the relevant situation to the woman around him.

As a real young master of Youdian, Mu Shiyu knows far more than a certain second-generation immortal.

The general information about the secret realm was immediately supplemented in subsequent exchanges.

The place Chen Changying is planning to go to even has a clear name in the spiritual world, called Shuangling Valley.

As an open secret, not many monks usually come and go.

There are mainly many herbs planted inside, and occasionally a few natural treasures can be found.

It's just that the potential dangers contained in it, compared with the final rewards, often scare away casual cultivators with ideas.

However, at a certain time every year, the two ancient trees on Shuangling Peak in Shuangling Valley will bear red wolfberry fruits.

These ripe fruits are meaningless to high-level monks.

But for monks under the golden elixir stage, it has extraordinary value.

The golden elixir stage, also known as the transcendental stage, can be regarded as a natural chasm on the road of spiritual practice.

And with the red wolfberry fruit, even those monks with mixed spiritual roots may achieve a breakthrough in their realm.

Therefore, whenever the fruiting period of the ancient trees approaches, there will be a lively scene here.

This is also the reason why this secret realm has a certain reputation.

Because of its remote location.

There is only one Yaoling Valley located nearby.

In absolutely most cases, it will not attract competition from those sect disciples.

Instead, it has gradually become a holy place in the hearts of low-level casual cultivators.

The above are all information obtained from Mu Shiyu's mouth.

However, when the two people walked to the entrance of the secret realm, they saw Yuanying Stage, Transformation Stage, and even Hedao Stage monks coming and going.

Chen Changying couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Mu Shiyu.

There was also a trace of confusion in the other party's eyes.

The impression of a gathering place for low-level monks suddenly turned into what it is now.

Naturally, you can't keep your head down and rush in directly.

After thinking briefly for a moment, Chen Changying simply went to the town closest to this secret place.

Decided to inquire about some recent news first.

Therefore, he was sitting in an inn where there was a lot of people.

As for Mu Shiyu, it seems that she has other things to be busy with.

After the two people entered the city, they separated temporarily.

After filtering through the countless noise around him, Chen Changying finally captured some useful information.

"Have you all heard? The ancient trees in Shuangling Valley are bearing fruit."

"Fellow Daoist, you really believe that kind of news. Normally, the fruiting period is at the autumnal equinox, but now it's midsummer. Where can I get some red goji berries?"

"If you ask me, this must be fake news released by those high-level monks."

Sure enough, there are other secrets in Shuangling Valley.

Hearing this, Chen Changying couldn't help but get up to 12 yuan.

Even if it cannot be proven that everything the person talking to said is true, it is at least better than turning a blind eye.

"A few days ago, there were rumors that something extraterrestrial was born in Shuangling Valley. Many high-level monks who had once looked down upon this place came in a hurry from all over the place. Among them, there were even some sect elders."

"As a result, half a month has passed, and I still haven't heard anyone talk about actually finding that extraterrestrial magic weapon."

Since the incident on the outskirts of Wuyue City.

Chen Changying didn't set foot in the world of practice much, he followed the team first, and then kept on focusing on the internal affairs of the Prison Sect.

Unexpectedly, the news about the extraterrestrial things has spread so widely.

Even the elders of the sect cannot avoid this temptation.

Why those high-level monks appeared at the entrance of Shuangling Valley was finally answered.

However, Chen Changying did not end his inquiries there.

The subsequent conversation at the next table continued to reach his ears.

"These things you said have nothing to do with the fruit of the ancient tree. They snatch their extraterrestrial objects. We low-level casual cultivators should be satisfied as long as we can get a red wolfberry fruit. Is it possible that you still want this opportunity? Can it fall on you and me?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy the red wolfberry fruit. I just said that the ancient trees bear fruit during the autumnal equinox. The person who spreads this news now is probably eager for us to enter Shuangling Valley now."

"What's the reason? It's impossible for those monks in the Hedao stage and the God-transformation stage to still be thinking about the resources of us casual cultivators. Hahaha——"

Having said this, the inquirer couldn't help laughing.

Although the world of spiritual practice is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface, murders and treasure grabbing occur from time to time.

But that is at least the crime of possessing a treasure.

How can a casual cultivator who traveled across mountains and rivers to come here for the red berry fruit be favored by those high-level cultivators.

He even made up a decent message specifically for this purpose.

In this conversation, more than half of the people did not believe this judgment.

The casual cultivator who made the relevant analysis was not in a hurry. He raised his eyelids and glanced at everyone, and then continued to talk: "Who said that we are just casual cultivators, so we are not qualified to be respected."

"Don't forget, there is a formation called blood sacrifice. No matter what trouble you encounter, blood sacrifice can always have the most convenient effect."

Hearing this, Chen Changying couldn't help shaking his head.

Even if he is not deeply involved in formations.

But Junior Sister Jiang beside him is one of the best.Therefore, he also gained some common sense.

The so-called blood sacrifice is not as mysterious as what the other party said.

It's just that this approach is against human rights.

Stories about the Blood Sacrifice Formation are more likely to be spread.

However, other casual cultivators who did not have the same knowledge stopped laughing after hearing this.

Then I started thinking about the possibilities.

Some people's faces already showed a bit of solemnity.

"What fellow Taoist means is that those high-level monks can't find anything from the sky, so they want to sacrifice blood to us casual cultivators in order to find a way to break the situation."

"Haha. You all know the truth in your heart."

The chat in the inn was almost overheard here.

The moment he looked up, he saw Mu Shiyu stepping into the inn.

He drank the tea on the table in one gulp.

In Chen Changying's opinion, now is the time to go to Shuangling Valley.

……

About what Mu Shiyu did separately.

Chen Changying himself didn't particularly care.

Although the two people have been honest with each other more than once, their relationship is not that close.

Just search around the same area for three consecutive days.

With his keen perception, except for detecting the existence of a faint aura of origin, he has found nothing else.

In this way, it is almost understandable that so many high-level monks have been busy inside for half a month.

However, during this period, the system did not give any prompt information.

This made him think.

Does that mean the time is not now?Is there some connection between the fragments of the sky map and the mysterious extraterrestrial object?

Such thoughts kept popping up in my mind for nearly half a day.

Later, Mu Shiyu's words seemed to suddenly reveal the mystery.

"The medicinal materials I purchased earlier are still a bit short, but I should be able to harvest them in Shuangling Valley. These herbs are more conducive to our second use."

the second time.
Chen Changying, who had already had relevant experience, quickly realized what this was referring to.

I'm sorry that the other party mentioned the right opportunity to do it again, but it turned out to be this.

However, when these words came out of Mu Shiyu's mouth, they were not at all charming.

Dual cultivation is a private matter.

When it happened to these two people, it was like an everyday topic like "Have you eaten?"

When he thought of this, Chen Changying couldn't help but secretly complain a few words.

At this moment, three mission options came to his mind.

[Option [-]: Set clear goals for yourself.Within three days, the fragments of the sky map and the magic weapon from outside were successfully found.Completion reward: Phoenix Gold - Heaven-level low-grade weapon refining material]

[Option [-]: While there are many high-level monks gathered here, continue to search for the fragments of the Sky Screen Map by relying on your own abilities, and successfully become famous at the same time.Completion reward: Fengyun Pen - Prefecture-level middle-grade magic weapon]

[Option 1: Ignore the matter at hand for the time being and follow Mu Shiyu to collect medicinal materials.Completion reward: Random attribute point +[-]]

Successfully finding the target object within three days is not even a successful acquisition.

You can harvest treasures of low-grade heavenly level.

In addition, the prompt information given by the simplest route means that you can ignore the matter at hand for the time being.

It was almost a clear statement to himself that if he wanted to get the fragments of the sky map, it was not the time in the near future.

What kind of opportunity is needed for this is still unclear.

But since staying here is a waste of time.

It's really better to get other things done first.

Speaking of which, it was not just Mu Shiyu who regarded dual cultivation as a normal topic.

Chen Changying also gradually developed this tendency.

It felt natural, so I decided to help the other party make preparations in that regard.

The "Hundred Herbs Classic" I once obtained happens to be able to play a better supporting role at this moment.

Speaking of Baicao Jing.
I think back to when I first came into this world.

This tome is the first system reward he has received.

It was also after this that he officially embarked on the road to openness.

Now, the past has long become a thing of the past.

He has completely integrated into this spiritual world and has people he cares about.

With some inexplicable emotion in their hearts, the two of them walked towards another area.

The realm of the monks I met by chance was getting lower and lower.

Transformation stage, Yuanying stage, Golden elixir stage, Foundation building stage
Chen Changying was not surprised by this.

They had been searching in areas with original aura.

Although there is no substantial progress yet, the extraterrestrial things should be within that range.

Monks above the Golden Core stage who want to try their luck will also linger nearby.

The stronger the atmosphere, the higher the level of people gathered.

As for the monks who have just passed the threshold, such as the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage, most of them are self-aware and dare not go head-on, so they simply find another way and choose to search in the peripheral areas.

If this opportunity happens to fall on me, maybe.

As for the areas further outside, no original aura can be felt.

Naturally, it will not become the target of attention of monks above the Golden Core Stage.

On the contrary, the people gathered here mainly came for the red berry fruit.

Under some kind of coincidence.

In a secret realm, high-level monks and low-level monks have distinct activities in two different areas.

People like Chen Changying and Mu Shiyu, who are high-level monks but mainly go to the activity areas of low-level monks, can be said to be very few.

The light purple stamens are wrapped in saw-shaped leaves.

The two men searched around and finally stopped in a shallow grassy area.

Seeing Mu Shiyu take the initiative to pick the medicinal plant, the name of the herb quickly appeared in Chen Changying's mind.

Then he communicated aloud: "Yours should be purple sunflower grass. How many plants do you need?"

Mu Shiyu paused for a moment while collecting herbs in her hand. Mu Shiyu didn't seem to expect that the man had done some research on pharmacology.

But she soon returned to normal and responded: "About twenty plants. In addition to purple sunflower, sky star flower, yellow pill, red peony root... all require the same dose."

Several medicinal materials were mentioned in succession.

Fortunately, these medicines are not scarce.

There are related descriptions in "Baicao Jing".

While writing down this information, he scanned the scene in front of him, searching for any herbs that met the requirements.

Then, Mu Shiyu picked a second purple sunflower plant, and Chen Changying also successfully found one.

The two of them got busy like this.

And there was a little more communication, "How many plants did you pick over there?"

"Ten purple sunflower plants, one red peony plant, and the others haven't been seen yet."

"In this case, purple sunflower grass is enough. In addition, these herbs will also have a good effect on you."

"Then I'll have a drink as well."

I have experienced the benefits that dual cultivation has brought to me.

At this point, Chen Changying would naturally not refuse.

"En." Mu Shiyu replied softly, and stood up straight again.

The shallow grassland in front of us has almost been harvested.

It's also time to go to the next place.

As for where the remaining medicinal materials are, it is still unclear.

Fortunately, Shuangling Valley's common herbal resources are abundant.

As long as you spend more time, you can always find it.

Even, just when the two of them have no clear goals for the time being.

Several casual cultivators not far away took the initiative to walk up and asked if they needed help.

When the medicine was being collected just now, these people had already stopped to watch.

Now it seems that he is still a warm-hearted person.

Of course, if Chen Changying didn't see the leader of the group.

Probably have similar thoughts.

As for now
The more thoughts in his heart were curiosity.

Previously, he had spoken decisively in the inn, saying that there was a conspiracy in Shuangling Valley, and that he was deliberately attracting low-level monks to come and perform blood sacrifices.

How come you are here, and you are still the leader of a group of people.

Whether it is observation through the ability of the eye attribute, or exploration using external spiritual consciousness.

This person's realm strength can only be completed in the foundation building stage.

Feeling a little confused about this, Chen Changying responded unhurriedly: "We need to pick some herbs and are currently searching."

"What kind of herbal medicine, fellow Taoist, can you elaborate on it? Hou has spent some time in Shuangling Valley, and maybe he can provide some help."

There was a bit of friendliness on his face, and Hou Qiwen took a step closer to showing his enthusiasm.
