Family Cultivation: Expelled from the Wilderness at the Start

Chapter 23 Going down the mountain for reconnaissance
"This is wilderness, Qing'er."

Xie Lingxiao stared at Xie Lingqing, his eyes a little lost, as if he was remembering something: "In the past, if you didn't work hard to cultivate and become stronger in the sect, you would be mediocre at most, and you could even live a good life in the secular world, but this time It's a wilderness, where only the weak can eat the strong, and becoming stronger is just to survive. Weak people are not worthy of seeing the sun tomorrow."

Although these family monks who have never left the strict laws and regulations of the sect have always heard about the dangers of the wilderness, they have never actually experienced it, and it is difficult to truly realize its bloodshed and cruelty.

Some have even cultivated all their lives and never slaughtered a chicken. If they are not talented enough, they will just lie down. In the secular world, they can still marry seven or eight concubines and live like a landowner.

"I···"

Xie Lingqing was really shocked when he heard Xie Lingxiao's serious words.

Of course, Xie Lingxiao did not let Xie Lingqing take on more general duties in the end. After all, it had been agreed long ago that the general duties should be shared equally among everyone. However, the family had just established a foothold here, and there was not much to do.

The most important thing is to keep vigil. Before setting up the mountain protection formation, you have to stay vigilant.

The four highest cultivation levels, Xie Lingxiao, Xie Lingquan, Xie Lingshi, and Xie Lingbao, are in charge.

Xie Lingxiao took Xie Lingshi to watch for half the night, and Xie Lingquan took Xie Lingbao to watch for the rest of the night.

Xie Lingqing is responsible for taking care of the three monster cubs, Xie Lingxi is responsible for cleaning the main hall, and Xie Linghao is responsible for going down the mountain to collect water every day and guarding the water source, but the water source has not yet been found and developed.

The next day, at dawn, Pingtian Peak became full of vitality and full of life because of the arrival of Xie Lingxiao and others.

When Xie Lingxiao came out of the inner room with the map of Pingtian Peak, Xie Lingquan, who had finished his night watch, was already busy in the kitchen. After all, the next supply of dry food and drinking water required detailed planning.

And Xie Lingqing, under the constant roar of the three monster beasts, hurriedly ran out of the hall and went to the mountains to collect three spirit grasses to feed them.

Both of them worked hard because they accepted the important task for the first time.

Xie Linghao had also gotten up and came to practice in the main hall where the spiritual energy was the richest.

Although there is only a slight difference between the main hall and the inner chamber, Xie Linghao still prefers to practice in the main hall.

Xie Lingxiao held the map and couldn't help but think about it.

According to the map given by the sect, there should be seven or eight places around Pingtian Peak that are suitable for cultivating spiritual values. These places must be prioritized and opened up to increase the source of income for the family.

However, today we still need to find a clean water source. If there is a danger, we must resolve the danger to ensure that the water source is self-sufficient.

After eating the dry food for breakfast, Xie Lingxiao asked everyone to prepare for going down the mountain to explore, and then he controlled the flying magic weapon and conducted a low-altitude reconnaissance around the mountain.

He rode the [Spiritual Bamboo Dragonfly] all the way down from Pingtian Peak, constantly lowering its altitude until it was several feet above the ground before it stopped.

Since they were not able to control air flight yet and only had one [Spiritual Bamboo Dragonfly], they could only walk down the mountain to explore, so Xie Lingxiao started exploring from the foot of the mountain in order to plan the route. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he discovered a place Pool.

The pool is about the size of the main hall on the mountain, and the water is extremely clear, but...

From the ancient well with no waves, Xie Lingxiao sensed the danger.

After staring at the water pool for a moment, Xie Lingxiao suddenly swooped down towards the water pool with his flying magic weapon, but he made a sharp turn midway.

"puff!"

The moment Xie Lingxiao turned the corner, a water arrow shot out from the pool and shot towards the position before he turned the corner.

"Is it really Water Arrowmon?"

Xie Lingxiao took off again and watched as the water arrow missed and hit a big tree, directly punching a bead-sized hole in the thick tree.

"It's not easy to solve..."

He frowned. Although the strength of this water arrow beast has not yet reached the level of a demon soldier, it is still equivalent to the strength of the human race in the middle stage of Qi collection. In addition, it is hidden in the water, so it is quite difficult to solve.

Xie Lingxiao did not take action rashly, and decided to wait until the next time he gathered people to come over and deal with the monsters in the pool.

He continued to explore forward, firstly to see if there were any other more suitable water sources, and secondly, to conduct an on-site inspection of those areas suitable for growing spiritual plants.It is not an exaggeration to describe the area around Pingtian Peak as barren, because most of the area is bare.

But what makes Xie Lingxiao helpless is that in such a barren place, there are actually many hidden monsters.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could still sense the dangerous aura to some extent.

"If we want to completely clean up the area at the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be extremely time-consuming and laborious..."

Xie Lingxiao spent a whole morning flying at low altitude with the flying magic weapon, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Not to mention other places, but the seven places he found where spiritual plants could be planted must contain monsters.

As for the water source, only the water pool at the foot of the mountain was the most suitable. He decided to organize people to clean up the monsters in the water pool in the afternoon.

Just when he was about to turn back to the top of the mountain, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"It's him again!"

I saw a figure hovering in the sky in the distance, controlling a flying magic weapon. It was the Zaqi Qi practitioner from yesterday.

When the other party saw that Xie Lingxiao had discovered him, he didn't show any sign. He immediately turned around and headed towards the wilderness just like yesterday.

Although Xie Lingxiao was a little angry at this behavior of the casual cultivator, he had no choice but to fly back to the top of the mountain with the flying magic weapon.

"Lingxiao, how is the situation?"

Xie Lingquan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Lingxiao came back safe and sound, and came out overjoyed.

"It's a little tricky."

Xie Lingxiao frowned and said helplessly: "Go in and talk."

The two returned to the main hall. All the clan members were sitting cross-legged in the main hall to practice. When they saw Xie Lingxiao coming back, they couldn't help but open their eyes.

They were so concerned, of course, because they resisted going down the mountain to a potentially dangerous place.

Xie Lingxiao said: "The water source has been found, and there is a pool at the foot of the mountain."

Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Xie Lingxiao continue: "However, there is at least one monster in the pool that is equivalent to the middle stage of the human race's Qi Collection Realm. I need a few people to follow me down in the afternoon to clean it up and ensure the safety of the water source."

Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard this.

"I'll go with you!"

Although Xie Lingquan was very scared, he was the first to stand up.

"Brother Lingxiao, I'm going too!"

Seeing no one responded, Xie Lingqing stood up and said.

Although he was only at the early stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, he was the least cultivated among the seven.

Xie Lingxiao didn't care whether they resisted or not. Seeing that no one was willing to take the initiative, he directly ordered his troops and said: "Then Qing'er, Linghao, and Lingshi will follow me down the mountain to eliminate the demon."

He brought Xie Lingqing mainly to let him experience the scene of life and death fighting, while Xie Lingquan needed to be left to guard the mountain.

The three people couldn't help but look nervous when they heard this.

"Gather up the spiritual energy in your body and use the dry food before we go down."

Xie Lingxiao gave another instruction.
