Chapter 40 Bear Cave
When preparing to leave, Xiao Liuzi approached Qin Shaochen and whispered.
"Senior Brother Qin, Elder Zhou just ordered that your joining the Medicine Sect should not be made public easily."
"When outsiders are around, you should still call me Xiao Liuzi and Elder Zhou as Senior Zhou. That way, our identities will not be exposed."
Qin Shaochen nodded and patted Zhou Xiaoliu on the shoulder.
"You don't need to tell me, my junior brother is also a sensible person. For things like this, of course it's better to keep a low profile."
"Your senior brother, I have never been a showy person!"
Zhou Xiaoliu could only smile bitterly and nodded in agreement.
"Junior brother, please go back. Senior brother, take a step ahead and send you far away without any trouble!"
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away.
Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, looking at Qin Shaochen's back, he murmured: "You don't call this Zhang Yang, what do you mean by Zhang Yang!"
After returning upstairs, Xiao Liuzi saw that Zhou Ziyao was in a good mood, but he was not too happy.
"Master, didn't you say that the place for the outer disciple was reserved for Xiao Liuzi? How come it was given to Senior Brother Qin in the blink of an eye?"
"Xiao Liuzi, bringing that boy into the sect is not a bad thing, but a great thing!"
"Think about it, if that kid is really the poison-repelling hegemonic body that our Medicine Sect values the most, then I will have made a great contribution by bringing a poison-repelling hegemonic body into the sect!"
"When the time comes, will the sect's rewards be any less?"
"What does one quota for an outer disciple mean? Master just wants to get two more quotas, which is just a matter of words!"
Only then did Xiao Liuzi become happy.
"It turns out that the poison-repelling hegemonic body is so popular in our sect, so is he the kind of poison-repelling hegemonic body that is rare to see in a century?"
"It stands to reason that the only way to survive being bitten by the Golden Demon Snake is to ward off poison."
Zhou Ziyao was also a little hesitant.
"But after all, I have never seen that kind of domineering body, and I am not sure!"
"I understand! That's why you let him go to Black Mist Valley. In fact, you just want to test whether he is!"
Xiao Liuzi felt a little enlightened, and immediately he frowned again.
"But if that kid is smart and avoids the time when the black mist appears, wouldn't it be ineffective!"
"Hehe! You can't escape the poison in that valley! As long as you get there, you will definitely be poisoned!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Ziyao couldn't help laughing.
"But what if he is not a poison-proofing hegemonic body?"
Zhou Ziyao's smile did not change, and he still looked proud.
"Then of course he can't come back! And that spot is still your boy's!"
***
Qin Shaochen was in a good mood as he walked home.
Thinking back on what happened today, it was inexplicable and confusing!
I just went to Zhou's Medicine Hall to get medicine. How could I suddenly become an outer disciple of a sect after chatting with that pharmacist for a few times?
Qin Shaochen concluded that any matter he dealt with that Pharmacist Zhou would end up being weird!
Fortunately, the final result was not bad, and the elixir was successfully obtained.
Moreover, I also learned about another elixir—the true elixir!
Its spirit-opening effect is several times better than the spirit-opening pill!
"I must also get the true elixir!"
Qin Shaochen felt a little excited when he thought that taking the True Spirit Pill and the Spirit-Opening Pill together could increase the chance of success to more than 70%.
That is definitely a treatment that no one of the more than a thousand Qin clan members in Zhangjiajie has ever received!
"If we can also get the true spiritual elixir, my chances of successfully opening my spirit will be really high. Maybe I can actually successfully open my spirit!"
In the past, he always said that my little sister would be able to successfully open her spirit!
But deep down in my heart, I know that the chance of that wish coming true is actually very small!
But now, there is a real opportunity to change everything!
Seventy percent! That is definitely the closest chance of a dream coming true!
"We must collect the Soul Bone Fungus and exchange it for the True Spirit Pill!"
When he returned to his small courtyard, he first handed the magic elixir to his little sister to put away.
He also told her to practice the Spirit Opening Technique several more times during this period of time.
Qin Xiaoluo now no longer resisted the issue of Kai Ling. He nodded obediently and carefully put away the Kai Ling Pill.
Qin Shaochen returned to the hut and began to plan how to collect soul bone fungi.
According to the book, that kind of fungus likes moisture and often grows out of the ground shortly after rain.
However, Black Mist Valley is located behind Tianzi Mountain, fifty miles away from Zhangjiajie, and it takes at least four or five hours to go there.
If you see it raining, you will start from home and rush to the place, and the day lilies will be cold.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of a suitable place.
It's that bear cave.
It was just behind Tianzi Mountain, not far from the poisonous valley.
You can usually stay in the cave to practice. Once it rains, you can rush to the Black Mist Valley in less than half an hour.
Having made up his mind, he immediately went to the kitchen and prepared dry food for about twenty days in one go. Then he said hello to his little sister and said he was going to go into the mountains.
Qin Xiaoluo couldn't help but be surprised to see that he actually brought a big broom with him when he went into the mountains this time.
Qin Shaochen told his little sister that he was going to stay in a bear cave for a while to collect medicine.
He told her again that she must practice the Spirit Opening Technique well.
After that, he happily carried a large bag of dry food and a big broom and left the courtyard happily!
After leaving East Street and entering the forest, he took the west road and took nearly four hours to reach the cave.
As usual, he explored it first, and when there was no movement, he went in. Everything in the cave was still the same.
The first thing was to jump up to the top of the stalagmite and check the "stone milk spirit liquid".
I saw that there were still a few drops in the stone cave.
He sighed lightly and carefully collected the drops of spirit liquid with the wooden spoon and jade bottle he brought.
Back to the ground, he used his big broom to sweep all kinds of dirt and broken bones in the bear cave into a corner, and then dug a deep pit with a single knife and buried them all.
After looking around, he went to the woods again, gathered a pile of leaves, spread them in a dry place, and made a big mat for practicing sitting.
Then he sat on the leaf mat, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.
After a short rest, he slowly closed his eyes and began to practice the Kailing Jue, and formally began to practice.
The five spiritual orifices began to absorb at the same time. He immediately felt that the spiritual energy in the cave was abundant, and there was a feeling of rolling in.
He was delighted, concentrated his mind, and practiced wholeheartedly.
In this way, he practiced day and night, and he had almost no time to rest except for eating some dry food when he was hungry.
With such diligent practice, the results are naturally gratifying.
In just a few days, he felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian had actually increased by one level.
"Now, if I fight with others with the Fiery Palm again, even if I fight for a hundred moves, I won't run out of spiritual energy!"
"But, there is still a long way to go before the first level is perfect."
One day, while practicing, he suddenly heard the sound of rain outside the cave.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
"It's finally raining after such a long time."
He didn't dare to waste time, so he carried the medicine basket on his back and headed for the Black Mist Valley after leaving the cave.
After walking westward for more than half an hour, he finally arrived in front of two steep peaks.
Between the two mountains, there were lush vegetation, and a valley nearly ten feet wide appeared in front of him. That was the famous Black Mist Valley!
