Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder walked carefully through the icy canyon. The air around them became increasingly colder, and even the spiritual energy became thinner.

The deeper they went, the more desolate the surrounding environment became. Occasionally, they could hear the sound of wind coming from afar, mixed with faint growls, which seemed to indicate that there were unknown dangers hidden here.

"There seems to be movement ahead."

After walking for a while, the great elder suddenly stopped, tilted his ear slightly, and frowned.

His spiritual consciousness was like an invisible net, quietly reaching forward.

Jiang Qiong also stopped, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

He tried to concentrate and try to catch the source of the movement.

At this moment, some figures vaguely appeared in the snow ahead, and seemed to be groping for something quietly.

"Let's go over and take a look."

The Great Elder said in a low voice, a hint of caution in his eyes.

The two men approached quietly, hid behind a huge rock, and saw through the snow that they saw the group of monks walking through the mountains.

Jiang Qiong was shocked. There were quite a few cultivators in this group, about ten of them, carefully picking medicinal herbs in the snow.

These monks were of different ages, the oldest seemed to be in his forties, with a weathered face and long flowing beard. He was wearing a dark blue robe and thick boots, looking quite steady.

The young monks were mostly in their early twenties, with lively expressions and different clothes. Their colorful robes were particularly conspicuous in the snow.

One of the women caught Jiang Qiong's attention.

She has a slender figure, with long hair cascading down her shoulders, a pretty face, fair skin, and eyes as bright as stars, revealing a lively look.

She was wearing a light purple robe with a silver belt around her waist, which made her look particularly elegant.

At this moment, she was bending down, carefully observing a magical medicine sticking out from the snow, and seemed to cherish it very much.

"Hurry up, don't let anyone find out!" a young man urged in a low voice, seeming a little impatient.

His hair was messy and he had some stubble on his face. He was wearing a black robe and holding a small shovel in his hand, carefully digging for the elixir in the snow.

"Be careful not to spoil the elixir!"

Another monk reminded from the side, with a hint of warning in his tone.

Jiang Qiong watched their actions intently through the gap between the boulders.

The group of monks were obviously looking for some rare spiritual medicines. Occasionally, a few spiritual medicines could be seen exposed on the ground in the snow around them, emitting a faint light.

The elder's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he spoke slowly:
"In a place like this, there are still people who dare to take risks to pick spiritual herbs."

"Are they really brave, or are they as strong as us?"

Jiang Qiong remained silent upon hearing this. In such an environment, picking elixirs would be extremely risky. If discovered by monsters, the consequences would be disastrous.

This group of people dare to come over.

Obviously, he is quite powerful.

"Should we go up and ask them where they came from?"

Jiang Qiong suggested in a low voice, becoming curious about these monks.

"No need." The Great Elder shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the group of monks, and slowly said: "Let's observe their movements first. If we find any unusual movements from them, we can make plans."

At this moment, the young woman suddenly stood up, and the spiritual mirror in her hand emitted light, shining at a distant place, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

She turned and shouted to the other monks, "I found a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Come with me!"

"Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?" Jiang Qiong's heart was shocked, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This is an extremely precious elixir that can enhance the spiritual power of a cultivator, and can even allow the cultivator to break through bottlenecks and improve his cultivation in a short period of time.

After hearing this, the other monks gathered around, their faces full of excitement.

The young man's eyes sparkled, a greedy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly said:
"Let's go, dig it out and take it back!"

Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder watched quietly from the side.

"This group of people were quite lucky. They found a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum directly."

The great elder suddenly said, and couldn't help but sighed, and said:
"Unfortunately, the strength of these monks should not be underestimated. We cannot go forward to 'trade' the Ganoderma lucidum."

Jiang Qiong nodded, and understood the concerns of the great elder.

Although they killed the monster, they still had to be cautious when facing other cultivators in this mysterious and dangerous snow mountain.

As time went by, the monks finally dug out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and cheers rang out.

Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder watched quietly from the sidelines, secretly thinking about their next move.

"Should we take the opportunity to follow them and see where they are going?" Jiang Qiong asked in a low voice, full of curiosity about the movements of this group of monks.

"Wait a moment, continue to observe their whereabouts." The elder pondered for a moment, his eyes still fixed on the group of monks, and slowly said: "If they make any unusual movements, we will make plans."

As soon as she finished speaking, the young woman suddenly turned around, as if she sensed a strange aura. She glanced around, as if she had noticed the presence of Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder.

"Quick, hide!"

The Great Elder shouted in a low voice, quickly pulling Jiang Qiong back behind the boulder, secretly nervous in his heart.

"She discovered us?" Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and her face changed slightly.

"It probably hasn't been discovered yet, but we must remain vigilant."

The Great Elder's voice was low, and there was a hint of alertness in his eyes.

As the woman's gaze gradually left, Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

"Come on, let's keep moving forward."

“No need to pay too much attention to that group of people.”

The Great Elder said in a low voice, his eyes still solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Qiong nodded. Although he felt sorry about the matter of the Ganoderma lucidum of those cultivators, he did not think much about it and turned around and left.

The two walked carefully through the canyon, with the cold wind howling around them, mixed with flying snowflakes.

As they went deeper, the sides of the canyon became steeper, and the cold rocks were covered with thick snow, which made a slight squeak under their feet.

"There seems to be a cave ahead." The elder suddenly stopped and pointed to the mountain vaguely visible ahead.

Jiang Qiong looked in the direction of his finger and found a dark cave entrance. The snow around the cave entrance was blown sparsely by the wind, which looked a little unusual.

"Let's go and take a look." Jiang Qiong suggested, full of curiosity about the cave.

"Be careful." The Great Elder warned, and then the two of them walked towards the cave entrance.

As we got closer, the shadow of the cave entrance gradually revealed its true appearance, and faint growls could be heard from inside, as if there were living creatures living in it.

"It sounds like a monster."

Jiang Qiong's heart beat faster. Although he had experienced many battles in this snowy mountain, he could not help but feel nervous when facing unknown monsters.

"We have to be prepared."

"be careful."

The elder took out a magic weapon from his storage ring, and a faint light flashed in his hand. Jiang Qiong also quickly adjusted his mentality, tightly grasped the magic weapon in his hand, and followed the elder step by step into the cave.

The temperature inside the cave is slightly higher than outside, and the air is filled with a special smell, mixed with the smell of soil and monsters.

As the two went deeper into the cave, the ice crystals on the wall emitted cold air.

"Attention, there is movement ahead." The Great Elder suddenly stopped and said in a low voice.

Jiang Qiong held his breath and listened carefully. Sure enough, he could hear a low roar that seemed to be lingering in the cave.

"Let's be careful and try to avoid head-on confrontation." Jiang Qiong nodded in response.

After a while, they saw several mountain monsters deep in the cave.

They are small in size, with fluffy fur and a hint of ferocity in their eyes. They are surrounding a warm nest with several gleaming eggs scattered inside.

"Mountain bastard!"

"Good luck!"

Jiang Qiong's heart was shocked and his eyes were fixed on the eggs.

The eggs of mountain monsters are extremely precious. They can be used to refine high-level elixirs and can even be used to breed new monsters.

"Let's split up." The elder whispered, his eyes gleaming with determination, and he whispered quietly, "I'll lead them away, and you take the opportunity to get the egg."

"Okay!" Jiang Qiong nodded, praying silently in her heart that everything would go well.

The great elder took a step forward, the magic weapon in his hand shone with light, and instantly attacked one of the mountain monsters.

The mountain monster was caught off guard and was hit by the great elder's magic weapon. It let out a sharp roar, which instantly attracted the attention of other monsters.

"Hurry, go get the eggs!" the elder shouted loudly, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and he quickly ran towards the nest.

The attention of those mountain monsters was attracted by the Great Elder and they all pounced on him.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to quickly put the glowing eggs into the storage ring next to the nest.

"Hurry, hurry up!"

The Great Elder's voice echoed in the cave, and the angry roars of the monsters continued to be heard. Jiang Qiong felt nervous, fearing that the Great Elder could not hold on.

"I'm here!" Jiang Qiong responded loudly and quickly ran towards the direction of the great elder.

At this moment, a mountain monster suddenly turned around and pounced towards Jiang Qiong, opening its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth and rushing towards him.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong was shocked and waved his weapon hurriedly to block the attack of the monster.

At the moment when he fought back with all his might, the great elder's magic weapon hit the monster and repelled it instantly.

"Let's go!" The Great Elder shouted loudly and rushed out quickly. Jiang Qiong followed closely behind him, secretly rejoicing in his heart that they had successfully obtained the egg.

The two rushed out of the cave like arrows. The angry roars of monsters came from behind them, announcing their anger and unwillingness.

Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder ran in the snow until they were far away from the cave, then they stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you get everything?"

The great elder looked at Jiang Qiong and asked.

"Hey, the mountain eggs are all in hand!"

Jiang Qiong said excitedly, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Very good, we have to be careful next time."

The Great Elder's expression remained solemn, his eyes scanning the surroundings, alert to possible danger.

"Let's go!"

"We have harvested enough, let's go back to the clan."

While circulating his spiritual consciousness, the Great Elder led Jiang Qiong to a deeper area.

The two of them were like arrows shot from a bow, ready to go down the mountain and run straight to the Jiang family.

As they were running, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but look back and saw several mountain monsters roaring and rushing out of the cave. Their fluffy hairy figures looked particularly ferocious in the snow.

The Great Elder's magic weapon flashed coldly in the sunlight, reminding him not to let his guard down.

"Go down the mountain!"

The Great Elder gave orders as he ran, looking around vigilantly.

The two walked down through the snow-covered woods until they came to a more open area, where they slowed down their pace a little.

Jiang Qiong secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had finally escaped the monster's pursuit. However, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard faint voices of conversation in his ears.

Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder looked at each other, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they quickly hid behind a big tree, holding their breath and concentrating.

Not far away, a group of figures gradually became clear, and Jiang Qiong's heart sank.

They were a group of roughly dressed bandits, about a dozen of them, all with cunning looks and a strong murderous aura emanating from them.

The bandits were dressed in rags, obviously having been out for a long time, and their bodies were covered in dirt and blood.

Everyone held a weapon in their hands, including swords, axes, and even a few long black whips, looking extremely dangerous.

The leading gangster was burly, with a face covered with stubble, wolf-like eyes and a cruel smile on his lips.

Behind him were several companions, all with unfriendly expressions. They seemed to be whispering and discussing some sinister plan.

"I heard there are many precious spiritual medicines in this mountain, especially those mountain eggs. We have to act first!"

The leading gangster said coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.

"Yes, a few monks came here a few days ago, but we drove them away."

Another gangster echoed, greed gleaming in his eyes.

Jiang Qiong was shocked and quickly lowered his head, thinking that this group of bandits were actually eyeing the mountain eggs they had just robbed.

If they find out, the consequences will be disastrous.

"What should we do? Should we just leave here?" Jiang Qiong asked the Great Elder in a low voice, feeling uneasy.

"Just wait and see, don't act rashly." The elder responded in a low voice, his eyes like an eagle, staring at the group of bandits.

At this moment, the gangsters' conversation became louder and louder, and it seemed that they had already decided on their next move.

The leading bandit, along with a group of companions, walked towards the direction where they were hiding. Jiang Qiong and the Great Elder were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats.

"Let's go!" The Great Elder finally couldn't help it, whispered, took Jiang Qiong's hand, and quietly retreated.

The two carefully walked around the trees, trying to avoid making any noise.

However, the footsteps of the gangsters were getting closer and closer, and Jiang Qiong's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Just as he turned around, he happened to see the burly bandit looking towards them with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Run!" The elder ordered decisively, and the two quickly ran deep into the mountain, praying in their hearts that they would not be discovered. (End of this chapter)
