Chapter 100 Sword, Ancient Tea, Fire Centipede
He was like a flying monkey, running along the steep cliffs.
Soon we reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Ye Yang walked close to the cliff, and in a moment, he reached the dim light.
Only then did I discover that there was an old tea tree growing diagonally on this barren stone cliff that had been exposed to wind and rain.
The tea tree is not big, only half a person tall, and its branches are dark and strong, like a coiled dragon.
A circle of tender green tea leaves grows on the branches, emitting a faint green light.
The strangest thing is that the tender buds of this old tea tree are shaped like swords or spears towards the north, and are about half a finger long.
To the south, a large area of tea leaves resembles a sword, lifelike, with a sword edge, sword spine, and sword hilt. It really looks like a sword that has been shrunk.
It’s just that it may be because it grows in the wild and is unattended.
Most of the tender buds on the old trees were eaten by birds and insects, leaving only some tender tea leaves that the birds could not eat and were still intact.
Ye Yang reached out, plucked a tea leaf, put it in his mouth, and his tongue shrank, almost spitting it out.
It’s so bitter!
At the same time, along with the bitterness, there is also a spicy taste and a bubbling feeling that stings the throat.
Ye Yang burped and felt uncomfortable in his mouth. However, as soon as the tea took a sip, along with the bitter and spicy taste, there was also a light aftertaste of sweetness and mellow fragrance.
When the tea leaves entered his stomach, it felt like a sword entering his body, carefully washing his internal organs.
The violent sword energy in the body seemed to become much tamer.
Ye Yang guessed that this old tea tree, exposed to wind and rain, growing on a barren cliff, had mutated.
At the same time, it absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and the spiritual energy of the mountain clouds, and most of them have already reached a certain grade.
Lu Qi led him here, probably hoping to use the special features of the old tea tree to attract his attention and help him escape.
"But this tea is just right for me!"
Ye Yang knocked on the cliff where the old tea tree grew with the back of his knife.
The stone wall remains smooth and extremely strong after being eroded by wind and rain. It is not easy to damage it and transplant old tea trees.
It is difficult to walk on the steep cliffs and it is not easy to use swords.
Ye Yang grabbed a dry vine and silently practiced the Withering and Flourishing Hand.
A move called "Red Fading and Green Decreasing" hit the stone wall.
After dozens of consecutive slaps, the stone wall turned pale, as if it had been worn away by time.
He picked up the ghost-head seven-ring knife and tapped it lightly with the back of the knife.
After a while, the outermost layer of the stone wall fell off.
Following the same procedure, in a short while, most of the stone wall had fallen off, revealing the dark, thick tree roots inside.
Ye Yang cut off the branches and leaves of the ancient sword tea tree, leaving only the trunk, and put it into the storage bag along with the surrounding stone walls.
He walked up the cliff and came to the main hall of Taohuawu.
But he just happened to see Dugu Qiang. The spear shot out like a dragon, and a shadow of a green fox flashed by. The opponent was stabbed in the throat by his quick spear and fell to the ground immediately.
When Gu Duqiang saw Ye Yang, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Ye, you and I just happened to be traveling together."
"That's right. It's dangerous here. We should go together so that we can have someone to look after us."
Ye Yang approached Dugu Qiang and felt that Dugu Qiang was a little different from before.
Ye Yang is extremely sensitive to life essence. He remembered the time when he treated Dugu Qiang's injuries.
He could feel the cold aura of the other person, which was neither human, ghost nor beast.
Now when I pass by Dugu Qiang again, I find that he is like the warm sun in winter.
There is a hint of warmth.
He guessed that it was the effect of the six-winged fire centipede's pure yang inner elixir.
This pure yang inner elixir is not only extremely strong and yang, but also contains the life essence of the ancient alien species. It is a very tonic.
"Junior brother Dugu's injuries look much better!"
Ye Yang asked, and Dugu Qiang nodded. "It's all thanks to the Pure Yang Inner Core of the Six-Winged Fire Centipede, otherwise it would be troublesome."
'No trouble, no trouble. If you hadn't shown up, I guess there wouldn't have been any reward for the Pure Yang Inner Pill.'
Ye Yang thought to himself.
Only with this dish of vinegar can I make this pot of dumplings.
I don’t know what secrets are behind the Dugu Spear that made Gu Xuan set up a trap for him.
The two of them walked together, and soon they saw several disciples of the Five Poison Sect around them.
With concerted efforts, these people were quickly slaughtered.
After walking for a while, it was already noon, but ever since the rain disaster half a year ago, it was impossible to tell the exact time in the rainy weather.
As the two walked along, they saw many corpses of disciples from the Five Poison Sect, but unfortunately all their storage bags had been taken away. The two searched through all the boxes and cabinets but did not find anything valuable.
At this moment, a voice was heard.
"Disciples of Feitian Sect, quickly meet up at the Five Fingers Peak in Taohuawu!"
Hearing this, Ye Yang and Dugu Qiang looked at each other, and they left quickly.
On the Five Fingers Peak, Gu Xuan and Ge Changhong stood facing each other.
Behind the two of them was a group of old horses with strange shapes.
These horses were not tall, but rather thin, with distinct ribs and snake-like tails. However, they had double horns on their foreheads and fiery red centipedes crawling on their heads.
As his mouth and nose moved, streams of white hot air spurted out.
Ye Yang was watching in wonder, and heard an old deacon on the side say:
"This is a fire centipede. It lives in the water every day. The fire centipede is a specialty of the Five Poison Sect. Although it looks thin, it is extremely fast."
"It can even climb mountains, walk on water without sinking, and fly low in the sky, but it is difficult to raise. It likes peach fruit and peach blossoms."
Over the years, the Five Poison Sect has bred a group of fire centipedes in Taohuawu, using the sect's exotic fire centipedes to provide the horses with blood, essence, and spirit.
The peach blossoms and peach fruits all over the mountain are used as food, so each one grows very well.
Gu Xuan laughed loudly: "This Fire Centipede is also quite rare, it can be regarded as a specialty of the Five Poison Sect, but... from now on it will belong to the Feitian Sect!"
Monster beasts are rare, especially those that can be ridden, which are extremely valuable.
After several generations of breeding, Feitianmen only has eighteen cloud-carrying horses.
Now we have got a group of them at once, which is something to be happy about no matter how you look at it.
Soon, a special person finished counting the accounts and came to report.
"Reporting to the headmaster, during this recapture of Taohuawu, a total of 367 enemies were killed, 32,000 spirit stones, 68 fire centipedes, three cultivation secret manuals, and some minerals and herbs were obtained."
When everyone heard this, they were very satisfied.
The most important thing is that Taohuawu’s inferior spiritual vein has not been destroyed.
Feitian Sect can completely redevelop this place into a second base. If new disciples are recruited in the future, it will be able to alleviate the problem of too many monks in the sect and insufficient supply of spiritual energy.
"Master, should we attack the Five Poison Sect in one fell swoop?"
Someone made a suggestion.
Gu Xuan looked at him unconvincingly.
"It's nothing. You're so eager for quick success after such a small victory!"
"The Five Poison Sect has long been the largest sect in the area. Although the sect leader and the great elder are dead, there are still tens of thousands of poisonous beasts protecting the mountain. It is difficult to break in from the outside, so we need to take it step by step."
"What's more, there are Fengyu Tower and Taiyi Qingmen eyeing us covetously, and the Blood and Bone Cult is ambitious. How can we sacrifice our own strength and let others take advantage of us?"
Gu Xuan was so angry that it took him a long time to calm down.
He selected more than twenty fire centipede horses with excellent spirit and vitality, transported them to the flying silver-spotted ray, and prepared to send them back to the sect.
Ge Canhong led fifty disciples and deacons to clean up the mess in Taohuawu, and planned to find a formation master to set up a large formation here in a few days.
After returning to Feitianmen, Ye Yang immediately opened up a tea garden in the front yard.
They also took out stone slabs, simulated the growth environment of the ancient sword and tea trees, and planted the ancient tea trees there.
