Phi-Fic Chapter 7 Guiyuan Sect 3
Chapter 7 Guiyuan Sect 3
The three trained in different areas, leaving early and returning late. Unlike Cheng Jiu, the other two, being new to training, also spent more time training and were rarely seen.
Cheng Jiu usually trains, eats gossip, shares gossip with his gossip buddies, and listens to them complain about his master.
It is said that his master is aloof and secretly passionate. He occasionally goes out, and when he comes back, he scolds him with a dark face and throws him into a dangerous situation.
He didn't hold back either. Last time, he plucked the fur off his master's natal spirit beast, or deliberately caused trouble. In any case, neither of them was easy to mess with.
Cheng Jiu listened with great interest, once again marveling that there's no one better than his master in the world.
"Junior Sister, is Xiu Mu coming with us to train in the dense forest today?" The two brothers had finally escaped from the high pressure, and their minds were now quite active.
The term "dense forest" is actually used by the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect. Apart from the inner disciples, most other disciples can leave the mountain once they reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, a force has emerged in the cultivation world that specializes in attacking and killing the direct disciples of the five major sects. It should be understood that these direct disciples are the future pillars of the sects.
The five major sects also joined forces and sent elders to form a special team to eliminate this force, but this force was like a rat, impossible to extinguish and always springing up again.
Moreover, the leader of the opposing side was well hidden. Under such circumstances, for the safety of the direct disciples, it was stipulated that only those at the Golden Core stage could descend the mountain.
This ensured at least the ability to protect themselves, and because of this rule, the survival rate of disciples was greatly increased.
Under these circumstances, the forests within the territory of Guiyuan Sect, which are close to the wilderness, are the best choice for these disciples to train.
Cheng Jiu agreed. She was fed up with being locked up and certainly didn't want to miss any opportunity to relax and have fun.
Elders were guarding outside the dense forest. The three submitted their application and were told to come out no later than eight o'clock, otherwise they would notify their master to search for someone together.
This forest is not actually very safe; every few years, disciples encounter accidents in the forest.
Why not shut it down? Because the cultivation world can never be safe forever; opportunities and dangers always coexist. If you have to avoid even these minor dangers, you might as well not cultivate at all.
The dense forest is a typical rainforest, with a damp air and a misty, veil-like atmosphere.
It is said that this place was once a forbidden area, filled with miasma, but it was resolved by the combined efforts of several powerful figures.
Along the way, Cheng Jiu saw that many worthless spiritual herbs would become worthless in the future, even though they were all spiritual medicines, they would be sold by weight.
Cheng Jiuyan plucked the herbs that were within her sight, and the other two cooperated with her.
Besides these common herbs, there were also some low-level monsters in the dense forest.
All three of us can handle it; the only other thing that's really precious is the rabbit.
The dense forest wasn't uninhabited by demonic beasts before, but the stronger ones had been driven away or killed. Those remaining were primarily those with high reproductive rates, and the truly powerful ones simply dared not approach.
The most famous of the remaining monsters is the Flame Rabbit, which has a strong reproductive ability.
But we underestimated human appetites; they practically ate their way to extinction, and only recently have they reproduced.
Although this rabbit is only at the first rank, it grows up eating herbs. Its fresh meat is extremely delicious, comparable even to sixth or seventh rank demonic beasts.
It tastes delicious, but how to catch the Flame Rabbit becomes a problem.
When Flame Rabbits were abundant, the cost was quite low; you could catch several by simply digging a rabbit hole.
But the rabbits that survived later were extremely cautious; basically, only the most cunning and ruthless survived.
This makes these rabbits quite difficult to catch.
Generally, high-grade spiritual fruits and medicines are needed, along with a well-set trap, to catch them.
But aside from the wealthy, who would be willing to use high-grade spiritual fruits and medicines to lure a rabbit that is only delicious but useless?
The brothers Gongcheng and Gongyu had prepared a seventh-tier Flame Grass long ago. It was not hard to tell from their master that the brothers' parents were quite extraordinary, so their family background was also extraordinary.
Take, for example, this seventh-tier Flame Grass. Cheng Jiu could have produced it before, but it would have been painful for him, since the seventh tier is effective even for Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators.
In the entire Luo family, there are only about 30 herbs that have reached the seventh rank, making them extremely precious.
The fact that these two brothers used this magical herb to catch rabbits truly opened Cheng Jiu's eyes.
But does she object? She's also one of those who's looking forward to eating rabbit.
Lured by the elixir, a white rabbit with red fur hanging from its head was drawn to it.
The three of them immediately sprang into action, and the rabbit, sensing something was wrong, kicked off with its hind legs and tried to escape.
But the three were prepared and blocked its retreat. The rabbit opened its three-lobed mouth, and a huge ball of fire rushed towards the three, indicating that the rabbit's strength was not high, basically only at the first level.
Cheng Jiu swung his sword and cleaved the fireball in two, the flames vanishing in an instant. The other two seized the opportunity to strike the rabbit dead.
Carrying the rabbit, the three prepared to roast it and eat it.
It truly lives up to its name as Flame Rabbit; the meat is incredibly tender and has a subtle charcoal aroma.
With the seasoning, it's absolutely perfect.
After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to take a stroll. Before long, they heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes.
The three of them exchanged a glance, and without prior arrangement, turned to the other side of the bushes to look.
Just as the three of them had hidden themselves, a seductive-looking woman crawled out of the bushes.
Her clothes were disheveled, and upon closer inspection, one could see numerous red marks on her exposed white skin.
Of course, for a moment the three of them felt like they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
Yes, the three of them were not strangers to her; in fact, they had all heard of her.
