Chapter 259 Porcupine
Seeing Ye Wutian disappearing into the bushes, the woman seemed a little scared. She looked around uneasy, fearing that some monster or enemy would suddenly rush out in any direction.
Just a moment after Ye Wutian left, a rustling sound suddenly came from the side, and the woman shuddered and turned her head to look.
I saw a lush grass five meters away, constantly stirring, as if something was about to come out.
The woman's heart suddenly rose to her throat. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the grass, and retreating step by step.
After a moment, the guy who was causing a commotion in the grass finally rushed out.
It turned out to be a porcupine covered with spikes, and it looked scary.
When the woman was shocked when she saw this guy coming out, she was a little relieved, but when she saw that it was just a porcupine, she was also a practitioner. She also had the cultivation level in the Xuan Realm, so it was natural to deal with ordinary wild beasts.
As soon as the porcupine appeared, it focused its gaze on the woman. The thorns on its body that were originally attached to its surface suddenly stood up. Due to the contraction of its muscles, these hard thorns kept shaking like trembling steel bars, colliding with each other, making a "swish swish" sound, and at the same time, it also made a "puff! puff!" scream in its mouth.
Generally speaking, a porcupine will not attack actively. It will only act in this posture when it is frightened to scare the enemy.
The woman didn't dare to provoke this guy covered in thorns. She stepped back cautiously and tried to stay away from the porcupine.
But what made her depressed was that she retreated, and the porcupine in front of her was still pressing step by step, obviously there was a tendency to take the initiative to attack.
This abnormal phenomenon made the woman feel a little shocked. When she thought of the large number of spirit beasts living in this Shennong Secret Realm, she felt a bad premonition in her heart. After carefully looking at the piglet in front of her, the woman suddenly realized that this was indeed not an ordinary porcupine. It actually had a cultivation level similar to the early stage of the human Xuan Realm.
When the woman noticed this, she immediately panicked. Although the porcupine had a lower cultivation level than her, it was the first time she encountered a spirit beast, and she would inevitably be at a loss.
In a hurry, the woman hurriedly picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at the porcupine.
The porcupine dodged to the side very flexibly and easily avoided the stone's attack. However, the woman's move undoubtedly angered the porcupine. After avoiding the stone's attack, the porcupine quickly turned around and pointed the sharp thorns on its back at the woman.
Seeing this scene, the woman realized something was wrong, but before she could turn around and run away, the spikes on the porcupine's back shot out like an arrow.
The power of ordinary porcupine shooting out spikes is very small and has no lethality, just to scare the enemy. But the porcupine in front of her is obviously not an ordinary one. The arrow it shoots out is full of force. Seeing that the woman has nowhere to hide, a piece of true energy suddenly rises in front of her to defend herself.
The spikes hit the true qi defense like raindrops, making a series of "puff" sounds.
Before the porcupine's offensive fell, Ye Wutian rushed out of the bushes beside him and kicked the porcupine's head hard. The porcupine screamed and was kicked out like a football.
After repelling the porcupine, Ye Wutian looked at the woman. Seeing that she was not injured, he ignored her and walked straight towards the purple orchid.
The number of this purple orchid is extremely considerable. I am afraid that there will be a large bag when I put on such a large bag of things. If I carry such a large bag, it will be inconvenient to move in the future. So he decided to refine these purple orchids into medicinal essence first, so it will be much more convenient to carry.
Thinking of this, he immediately started picking purple orchids. The purple orchids have not high spiritual energy content. In addition, the spiritual energy here is rich, so there is no need to worry about the loss of spiritual energy after picking.
Ye Wutian picked all the purple orchids in one breath, then found a vine and tied it into a bundle, carried it on his shoulder and walked towards a small cave he had discovered during his patrol. The woman quickly followed.
When he arrived in the cave, Ye Wutian put down the purple orchid grass, took out the low-level alchemy furnace from his backpack, and then began to extract the medicinal essence.
The process of refining medicinal essence is naturally not as complicated as elixir. You only need to continuously stuff the herbs into the furnace, purify them with strong fire, evaporate impurities, and finally you can get medicinal essence. In fact, this step is equivalent to the purification step in the elixir process.
Ye Wutian held up the alchemy furnace with his left hand, injected true energy, and directly used martial fire to quickly heat the furnace.
When the furnace temperature was about the same, he lifted the cover of the furnace and stuffed a handful of purple orchid into the furnace. Then he kept refining it with martial fire.
Under the action of the spiritual fire, wisps of gray air quickly rose from the furnace mouth. After a moment, the purple orchid was refined into a medicinal essence the size of a bean.
Ye Wutian continued to stuff purple orchids into the furnace, and repeated it all the time. When the medicinal essence in the furnace reached the size of a peach pit, he took out a jade bottle prepared in advance from his bag. After putting the medicinal essence in the furnace into the jade bottle, he sealed the bottle tightly, then took out the pen and label paper, wrote the five words "Purple Orchid Antherother Soup" and pasted it on the jade bottle.
Although the purple orchid has low spiritual content, these purified medicinal essences contain high concentrations of spiritual energy. If they are not sealed with a jade bottle, the spiritual energy will run away in no time.
After saving the jade bottle, Ye Wutian continued to refine it.
The refining progress was very fast. All the purple orchids were refined in less than half an hour, and a total of three bottles of medicinal essence were extracted.
After refining the medicine essence, Ye Wutian looked at the woman again and said, "I think you'd better not follow me, just hide in this cave." He didn't want to take such a burden.
When Ye Wutian said this, the woman immediately became anxious and hurriedly begged: "Please take me out. As long as you can take me out, I will definitely repay you well."
"Repay? You have to have the life to accept it." Ye Wutian sneered, and said that he wanted money and power, and women, so how could he have to repay him?
The woman's face showed anxiety. After hesitating for a long time, she bit her red lips lightly, made up her mind and said, "I, I will give you my body, please, please take me out of here, I beg you." As she said that, two crystal tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Compared to dying in the mouth of a spirit beast, innocence is no longer important.
Ye Wutian was really moved by the other party's words.
In this wilderness, if there is such a little beauty to quench her thirst, it would be a pleasure.
If you think about it carefully, with your own cultivation, ordinary spirit beasts should be enough to deal with it. If you really can't deal with it, you can use the ground-breaking bead to escape. Therefore, the feasibility of this transaction is quite high.
After some trade-offs, Ye Wutian agreed casually.
Then the two left the cave and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, Ye Wutian asked casually: "What's your name?"
"Fang Shu." The woman replied in a low voice.
As for the other party's identity, Ye Wutian was not very interested, so he didn't ask about it.
After walking quietly for a while, Ye Wutian suddenly heard sobs from behind. When he looked back, he saw that the girl was actually crying. Ye Wutian was the one who was most despised by women, especially such pretty women. So when he saw this scene, he suddenly felt one head and two big.
"Why are you crying? If someone saw me, I thought I was trying to win you, where would I put my face?" Ye Wutian said depressedly.
Fang Shu wiped his tears, looking aggrieved.
Ye Wutian sighed and accelerated his pace towards the mountain. Fang Shu could only speed up his pace to follow.
The two climbed to the top of a mountain and stood on the top of the mountain. The clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach. The feeling of depression made people feel dull.
The top of this mountain is bare rocks, without any obstruction of trees, and the view from all directions is quite wide.
Looking around, what you see is a vast mountain ridge, rolling hills, lush trees, and the clouds that keep rolling in the sky.
Judging from the scenes around, it is impossible to judge where he is, and he cannot even tell which side is the edge and which side is the center. Therefore, Ye Wutian could only choose one direction at will to move forward.
On the way down the mountain, he kept his pace very slowly. He had to be on guard against danger while looking for spiritual medicine. Since his mental power could not be dissipated, everything could only be sensed by eyes, ears and nose.
Fang Shu followed Ye Wutian closely. She looked around like Ye Wutian. Of course, she had no intention of finding any spiritual medicine. For her, as long as she could leave this ghost place alive, she would have already Amitabha.
There was no danger along the way, nor did they find any spiritual medicine. At this time, the two of them had already gone down the mountain and walked in a shaded valley.
The time and seasons in this secret realm seem to be inconsistent with the outside world. Outside, it should be late at night. Although there are clouds covering the sky in the secret realm, there is still faint sunlight shining down, which looks like it is daytime. Looking at the green and dense vegetation on the ground, it is definitely not like winter.
Ye Wutian didn't care much about these strange phenomena. After all, the existence of this secret realm is itself a mystery.
After walking through the valley for a while, the sound of gurgling water vaguely came from the front.
Ye Wutian speeded up and followed the sound. The more he walked forward, the clearer the sound of the water flowed. After passing through a jungle, a stream about one meter wide appeared in front of him.
Seeing the stream ahead, Fang Shu was excited and subconsciously wanted to run towards the stream, but Ye Wutian reached out to stop him. Fang Shu seemed to realize something and retreated back behind Ye Wutian obediently.
After Ye Wutian flashed into a bush three meters away in front of him, he poked his head out to observe the entire stream from beginning to end.
Soon he noticed that upstream of the stream, a huge lizard like a crocodile was lying beside the stream drinking water.
