Chapter 8 Reaping the Profits
Chapter 8 Reaping the Profits
After entering the circular mountain range, Xiao Wuji felt a headache. It was probably because he was being targeted by a monster again. Well, it was a flying monster!
"Hey!!"
Looking at the big bird that was following him closely and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what, and it seemed like it had him in its grasp, Xiao Wuji got angry.
Although this monster was not flying very fast and he could hit it with the talisman, there was no great benefit in killing it, so why waste his talisman?
But being hunted like this is not a solution, we must find a way to get rid of it.
"Have it!"
Looking at a cave that appeared at the end of his sight, Xiao Wuji suddenly had an idea.
He took out a talisman from his storage bag with each hand, and then rushed straight into the cave under the light shield formed by several layers of Vajra Talismans.
Near the cave entrance, Xiao Wuji raised his hand and shot a fireball talisman towards the depths of the cave, and then attached another talisman to himself.
Xiao Wuji's body was suddenly surrounded by a layer of khaki light, and then he crashed into a stone wall on one side, and his whole body sank directly into the stone wall.
A low-level, elementary earth escape talisman. It allows a person to escape into the earth and rocks for a period of time, but it does not allow a person to walk through the earth. It is considered a low-end version of the earth escape talisman.
The big bird never left Xiao Wuji's side. When it saw Xiao Wuji flying into the cave, it didn't even bother to change its target, but actually landed on a tree not far from the cave entrance and stopped.
A rustling sound came from the cave, and Xiao Wuji quickly cast a Breath Containment Spell on himself after hearing it. The Breath Containment Spell plus the Earth Escape Spell were the most suitable for deceiving brainless creatures like monsters.
As the sound got closer, the monster also walked into Xiao Wuji's sight.
It was a giant centipede several feet long, with a shiny black pointed shell all over its body and black tentacles several feet long. It looked extremely hideous.
As the monster approached, Xiao Wuji felt a little frightened. It must be said that when facing this kind of poisonous insect monster, he naturally felt a little scared.
As the giant centipede got closer, Xiao Wuji's breathing became lighter and his heartbeat became slower.
The giant centipede seemed to have sensed something and stopped beside the stone wall where Xiao Wuji was, and knocked on one side of the stone wall with its tentacles.
"Wow!"
Just when Xiao Wuji was considering whether to jump out and give it a hard blow, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the cave. The giant centipede's attention was suddenly attracted, and it turned its head to look outside the cave.
Rustling...
Watching the giant centipede go away, Xiao Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was a beast, but it turned out to be a reptile. The sensing methods of these two monsters are very different. If he wasn't careful, he would almost add fuel to the fire and get beaten up!
Soon there was a burst of fighting sounds outside the cave, which made Xiao Wuji feel itchy, but he was afraid of being beaten up, so he didn't dare to run over to see.
After a stick of incense.
The giant centipede returned victoriously, crawling back with a large gray bird in its mouth.
Although the giant centipede had a higher level of cultivation, it still suffered a loss from the reptile. Its shell was pecked to pieces and it looked seriously injured. Seeing this, Xiao Wuji knew that his chance had come!
After the giant centipede crawled past where he was, Xiao Wuji suddenly jumped out from the stone wall and cast a series of Fire Snake Talismans on a wound on its body, not many, only seven or eight.
But seven or eight fire snakes attacking a wound without a shell at the same time was no less than a fatal blow to the giant centipede monster.
The several-foot-long body was directly broken into two parts, of uneven size, each rolling on the ground, and making strange hissing sounds.
Seeing that the monster had no power to resist, Xiao Wuji did not dare to be careless. He took out the fire-attributed flying sword he had just obtained, aimed at the wound on the upper half of its body and stabbed it directly, then rushed around in its body. The monster was silent immediately, and then Xiao Wuji did the same to the wound on the lower half of its body.
After the monster was completely dead, Xiao Wuji took out the water bag and washed the blood off the flying sword. After all, the monster, the giant centipede, was full of toxins, and he didn't have any antidotes prepared for himself, so he had to be careful.
Afterwards, Xiao Wuji did not explore the inside of the cave. Instead, he slowly cut the materials from the monster's body.
His demand for foundation-building pills was not that great. Even if he found more spiritual medicines, it would only be for others, so he was not in a hurry to find spiritual medicines. Moreover, he already had three ready-made foundation-building pills in his hand. Even if he did not continue to look for spiritual medicines, he was confident that he could build his foundation.
On the contrary, as long as he took these monster materials out, they would all be his, and he could easily sell them for a good price, which was much more cost-effective than looking for spiritual medicine. In order to collect these monster materials, he prepared several large storage bags in advance.
After dealing with the giant centipede, he plucked two life feathers from the unknown flying monster, and then walked leisurely towards the depths of the cave.
The cave was very long and narrow, and it took Xiao Wuji a full quarter of an hour to reach the end.
At the end is a large natural stone hall emitting faint light. Not only are there many glittering stalactites, but also on a small piece of purple stone wall closest to the inside, there are five or six small flowers with single stems and several leaves, which are either light green or light purple.
These small flowers are about an inch in size, and their petals are strangely curled in the same direction, forming a unique shape. From a distance, they look like several funny little monkeys hanging there, which is truly amazing!
"Purple Monkey Flower, one of the three main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill."
If it were before he got the three Foundation Establishment Pills, he would definitely be extremely excited, because according to his original plan, he wanted to refine a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills in this forbidden area.
Unfortunately, the main ingredients of the foundation-building pill were too numerous, and he simply could not collect so many auxiliary ingredients in just half a year. In the end, he could only rely on his experience as a fifth-grade pharmacist to greatly simplify the auxiliary ingredients. This was enough to gather enough auxiliary ingredients for one furnace, and before the pill came out of the furnace, he could not be sure of the medicinal properties of the pill refined in this way.
So now his attitude towards these three main medicines is to go with the flow. If he can get them, that's the best. If he can't, it doesn't matter.
But now that he had seen it, there was no reason for him to let it go.
He took out a few jade boxes, carefully picked three deep purple, ripe monkey flowers, put them into the jade boxes, and carefully put them back into the storage bag.
Then, he continued to walk towards the next place where spiritual medicine grew.
