Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

In a flash, the day the Youquan Medicine Garden opened arrived.

Now, the snow outside had stopped, the whole world wrapped in silver,

only the north wind blowing "whoosh whoosh," sounding just like a monster sobbing.

As agreed, Xu Changqing rode the Big Leaf Grass, arriving punctually at the Zhu Fuxian Gate.

Before long, the other party walked over step by step, still carrying a pot of Spirit Rice Wine in hand.

Judging by the look of it, the ten jin probably wasn't finished.

Compared to Han Xin's way of drinking in big gulps, as if swallowing like a whale.

Zhu Fuxian preferred to drink alone, sipping slowly, one small cup at a time.

Xu Changqing cupped his fists in salute: "Brother Zhu Shi!"

Zhu Fuxian smiled lightly: "Junior Brother is so punctual."

Xu Changqing spoke the truth: "Mainly afraid of making you angry."

Zhu Fuxian froze for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha!"

Xu Changqing had originally thought he would use his own Big Leaf Grass to go to the destination.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fuxian took out his own storage item, the Qingling Cangkong Tube, and knocked lightly on its surface a few times.

Instantly a crack split open, and then a cyan flying shuttle spat out from inside.

Looking at it overall, it was actually joint by joint, as if crafted from green bamboo.

Xu Changqing saw it with his eyes, and secretly thought: "This Brother Zhu Shi really likes bamboo especially."

At this time, Zhu Fuxian said half-jokingly: "This Lightly Vitality Shuttle, I haven't used it in a long time, Junior Brother be careful, we might just fall to the ground."

Xu Changqing blinked: "Brother is being modest."

If the female alcoholic Han Xin said this, he would absolutely believe it.

But the person before him, although his specific cultivation realm couldn't be seen.

He estimated, at minimum he was at Foundation Establishment Perfection, perhaps even already broken through to Golden Core.

Then, the two boarded the flying shuttle one after another.

In an instant, the sound of the north wind came to an abrupt halt.

Not a shred of movement from the outside world could be heard.

From this it could be seen, the quality of this Lightly Vitality Shuttle was absolutely not low, at least a five spirit pattern premium spirit tool.

Whoosh~

The Lightly Vitality Shuttle rose from the ground, in a blink crossing a thousand meters of sky.

At extreme speed, it sped toward the direction of the Earth Fire District.

"Brother, why does the Youquan Medicine Garden limit its opening time?"

"Because there are especially many highly toxic medicinal herbs inside!"

"Then what is the meaning of our visit?"

"At first, it was just a gathering of obscure alchemists, later spirit farmers also gradually joined."

"And then?"

"Then, everyone visited the highly toxic medicinal herbs in the Youquan Medicine Garden while trading other things."

On the road, Xu Changqing asked out the doubts in his heart.

Only then did he learn from Zhu Fuxian's mouth.

The true situation of the Youquan Medicine Garden was actually a trading point.

Obscure alchemists, plus cooperating spirit farmers, buying and selling among themselves.

To put it bluntly, this is just a gathering within a small circle, nothing more.

The Lightly Vitality Shuttle's speed was at least two times faster than the Big Leaf Grass.

Therefore, the arrival time at the Earth Fire District was even faster.

Only, this gathering, or rather the Youquan Medicine Garden's location, was not at the core of the Earth Fire District, in fact it was extremely remote.

First, to stay far from most people.

Second, to make all precautions.

Precisely because of this, the Youquan Medicine Garden was exceptionally remote.

Even the temperature was lower than other places.

Gah-wu~

Gah-wu~

In mid-air, startled fire crows let out piercing cries.

Already remote, plus this kind of sound.

The atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy.

At this time, Zhu Fuxian pointed not far away and said: "We've arrived."

Xu Changqing looked along the direction pointed, and discovered a mountain valley.

The surroundings were exceptionally desolate, but inside there were actually many plants.

Only, they didn't look quite right.

There were dry bones resembling those of humans.

Some were covered in sharp poison thorns.

There were even vines emitting gray mist.

Zhu Fuxian said with a half-smile: "What can be seen here can only be considered ordinary poisonous things; only those within the spiritual array are more interesting."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "So these things are put out purely to scare people?"

"Correct." Zhu Fuxian gave an affirmative.

Taking advantage of the time before the Lightly Vitality Shuttle landed, he took out two black robes and two masks.

Xu Zhangqing asked doubtfully: "This is?"

Zhu Fuxian explained: "It is a rule set by Youquan; those attending the gathering, whether Alchemists or Spirit Farmers, must all disguise themselves."

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but retort: "There are only a few who refine Poison Pills, isn't this unnecessary?"

Zhu Fuxian said playfully: "Youquan just likes doing this sort of thing."

Others refine good pills, he refines bad pills.

Others refine non-toxic pills, he refines deadly poison pills.

To put it plainly, he just likes doing the opposite, especially rebellious.

Soon, the two put on black cloaks and wore white masks that only exposed their eyes.

After the Lightly Vitality Shuttle landed, they walked into the valley one after another.

As they went deeper and deeper, the poisonous things they saw became more and more numerous.

The further inside, the more frightening their appearance.

One plant after another bared claws and brandished fangs, strange and grotesque.

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing and Zhu Fuxian were blocked on their path by a mass of black poison mist.

If they forcibly walked inside.

Not only would they lose their way.

But they would also be poisoned.

The longer they stayed, the more severe the poisoning effect.

Zhu Fuxian took out an Admission Token and shouted: "Junior Brother Xu, follow closely."

Xu Zhangqing responded from behind: "Okay."

Immediately, Zhu Fuxian poured his Spiritual Power into the Admission Token.

In an instant, it released a ray of Spiritual Light, illuminating the area ahead.

Xu Zhangqing tried to probe with his spiritual sense, but found it was blocked.

Here, especially in the poison mist, they could only observe their surroundings with their eyes.

Obviously, the person who designed this spiritual array was a very powerful Array Master.

The two walked inside step by step under the illumination of the Spiritual Light, moving very slowly.

After about thirty breaths, their vision suddenly opened up.

There was no longer poison mist blocking the way ahead.

Instead, it was a venue similar to a Garden.

There were flowers, grass, and trees.

But without exception, they were all various kinds of deadly poisonous Medicinal Herbs.

Xu Zhangqing swept the area with his spiritual sense and found that the vast majority of them, he did not recognize at all.

Although he had imprinted the contents of books like the Spirit Field Hundred Records into his mind.

But regarding information on poisonous things, he did not know much.

And besides Xu Zhangqing and Zhu Fuxian, there were already more than ten people inside.

Some stood alone, quietly watching a pus-oozing Herb.

Some gathered in groups of several, exchanging words in low voices.

Others stood motionless in a corner like a piece of wood.

Everyone looked very quiet.

It seemed that keeping quiet was also one of the rules here.

The more this was the case, the more curious Xu Zhangqing became about this Senior Alchemist named Youquan.

Zhu Fuxian pointed to a dead tree on the left and said: "Junior Brother, this is a good thing."

Xu Zhangqing looked over, found he did not recognize it, and immediately shook his head: "I don't understand poisonous things."

Zhu Fuxian brought him close to this dead tree and said in a low voice: "This is called the Dead Tree, full name Xiangsi Ersheng Tree, and can be used to refine Earth Grade Pills, the Vigorous Pill!"
