The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 217: Picking the demon companion grass!
After Wen Siyue walked away, the two began to discuss the next trip.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think about this wind-splitting beast's lair!" Han Li began to ask Zhou Xun's opinion.

"Brother Han, my idea is to take out the demon companion grass first. After all, the eighth-level demon beast is hard to find, let alone its lair."

"In addition, this item is a must for the Jiuqu Lingshen Pill. It is related to our Nascent Soul Avenue, so sooner rather than later!"

"Besides, this Wind-Splitting Beast is not a true spiritual species. Apart from being faster, its magical powers are ordinary. With the methods you and I have, we are not afraid of him!"

Zhou Xun responded solemnly.

Han Li heard this and did not refute.He naturally knew about Zhou Xun's methods. You must know that during the trip to Xutian Palace, the two of them also joined forces to kill layman Qingyi who had been in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, he was not too worried about this eighth-level wind-splitting beast, but he remembered something again, so he said:

"However, the Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng needs to be nourished by the energy of earth and stone, and the people in Black Rock City are too blind to support this thing. We'd better go to sea first and find a cave!"

Zhou Xun nodded, he needed to find a cave.

As a result, the two of them left Black Rock City, and immediately turned into two blue rainbows and flew away.

There were many monks' caves near Haiyuan, and Zhou Xun and the others didn't want to squeeze in among them and draw attention to themselves.

Therefore, he deliberately escaped in a direction away from the sea.

Half a month later, the two of them stood above a small island only fifty or sixty miles away, looking intently below.

This is the third uninhabited desert island with spiritual veins that they have discovered so far.

This island is not big, but the environment is extremely complex.

And although the spiritual veins on this island are very small, the spiritual energy provided is extremely sufficient. Even if the spiritual veins are not top-notch, they are still in the upper-middle level.

At the same time, the island was surrounded by a vast expanse of white sea fog.

This sea fog is not naturally formed, but diffuses from some nearby rapids and whirlpools.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Xun and Han Li dived under the island to check, and then they finally understood.

The bottom of this island is densely packed with countless finger-thick holes, and thousands of slender silver fishes drilled in and out of these holes.

These silver fish don't have any scales on their bodies, and are covered with extremely sharp silver bone spurs.

If ordinary people stretched out their hands to grab it, it would undoubtedly be bloody.

"Swallow the sea fish!"

This is a first-level lower-level monster that lives in groups.

They love to come to the surface of the sea, spit out white mist and play with it. They can often be seen near some islands.

It seems that the mist puffed out by these "sea-swallowing fish" has completely covered the island.

With this fog and the concealment circle on his body, this island can be said to be extremely safe and secretive.

The two then decided to choose this island to open their own cave.

The spiritual vein of the small island is on the miniature mountain range that is only ten miles long and thirty to forty feet high. There are only a few small peaks.

So the two simply found a small, concave valley directly at the bottom of the mountain range and began to break through the mountains and rocks.

After just half a day, the general outline of the cave came out.

He had no intention of continuing to carve out the cave, and simply used the concealment formation in his hand to hide the entire island.

The concealment formation in Zhou Xun's hands was further improved by Xin Ruyin. According to her, even a Yuanying stage monk would not be able to detect it without careful inspection.

So looking from a distance, there was only a cloud of fog left here, and the entire island had disappeared. Even if I flew closer to check, there was only a white mist.

After sorting out the affairs of the cave, the two began to prepare to go to the lair of the Split Wind Beast to pick the demon companion grass.

Flying over the island, Zhou Xun looked around, and after figuring out the direction, he and Han Li turned into two green rainbows and headed towards the abyss.Along the way, I encountered several monsters and killed them without any ceremony.

Occasionally, I encountered human monks, but I ignored them and simply flew past them from a distance.

A month later, we finally approached the Qiyuan Sea Area.

At this time, the two people began to restrain their aura and hide their whereabouts.

This place is the lair of high-level monsters, so naturally we are extremely cautious and don't dare to take any chances.

Sure enough, on the road below, I began to encounter various monsters frequently, but finally my concealment skills were amazing enough, and I still managed to get close to the sea area here without any risk.

A few days later, Han Li stopped advancing. In the air, he looked at a small island faintly visible in the distance, with a solemn expression on his face.

The lair of the eighth-level monster that Wen Siyue mentioned is on this island.

He found a small island two hundred miles away and set up a concealment formation and an inverted five-element formation.

Today's inverted Five Elements Formation, improved again by Xin Ruyin, has been able to trap the Nascent Soul cultivator for some time.

The reason why it is arranged in such a far place is that as an eighth-level monster, Feng Xi's spiritual consciousness range should be equivalent to that of an early Yuanying monk, almost a hundred miles away.

After monitoring the wind-splitting beast's lair for several days, nothing unusual was found.

"Could it be that the adult monster is not on the island, or the Wind Splitting Beast has abandoned its lair. The island is empty." The two of them became a little suspicious.

After waiting for a few more days, there was still no result.

Zhou Xun didn't want to wait any longer. He had a concealment robe, so he might be able to secretly pick the demon companion grass.

So he looked at Han Li aside and said:

"Brother Han, we have been monitoring for a long time, but we haven't seen the movement of the wind-splitting beast. I think there is no need to wait any longer. Let's go directly to the lair to pick the demon companion grass!"

"Besides, during my last trip to the Xutian Palace, I got a robe that concealed my figure. Combined with the breath-condensing mantra, it was enough to hide its senses!"

When Han Li heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:

"That's fine, we can't wait any longer!"

"In that case, let me go pick it up, and you can guard the formation here to support me!"

Han Li nodded. If unfortunately the Wind Splitting Beast was discovered, Zhou Xun would attract the Wind Splitting Beast towards the island and use the formation to trap it. Zhou Xun and the two could take this opportunity to escape.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, Zhou Xun activated his concealment robe, and then concentrated all his magic power to the early stage of foundation building.

Then he quietly drove the Escape Light and slowly landed on the small island.

After flying to the middle of a rocky mountain, Han Li saw a pitch-black hole that was several feet in size, as Wen Siyue had said in advance.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun walked in carefully and slowly groped inside.

This cave is very deep, and it goes straight down all the way, and the further you go, the more humid it feels.

After a cup of tea, a huge natural cave suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.The area is hundreds of feet wide and more than ten feet high.

There is a faint green light shining on the stone wall and the cave roof, and there is a blue water pool in the middle, which is steaming.

Around the pool, there are some weird vegetation.

There are more than a dozen jet-black grasses in the vegetation. This is the demon-companion grass he has been looking for!
Zhou Xun licked his lips, without hesitation, walked quietly to the edge of the pool, quickly grabbed the dozen black grasses with his right hand, and at the same time turned his left hand over, and a jade box appeared in his hand.

Put all the demon companion grass in and put it into the storage bag.

Then he retreated quietly in the direction he came from.
