C24 Obtained Moon Spirit Milk
The dense fog caused Jun Ling's sense of direction to deviate a little. After some effort, he finally arrived at the source of the dense fog. Jun Ling glanced at the forest and saw a thick fog coming from the direction of the ground. He could not help but exclaim in his heart.
He quickly walked to the front and took a closer look. It was a strange plant the size of a palm. A sticky liquid kept flowing out from the center of the flower. The liquid met the air and turned into the thick fog in the mountain range.
"Such a small thing can actually affect the entire mountain range!"
Not only that, but from the thick fog secreted by the plant... Jun Ling could keenly feel that the Yuan Qi in the thick fog was very pure, but... Jun Ling instinctively felt that this thing was definitely not as harmless as it looked on the surface.
How could a spiritual herb that could seize the fortune of heaven and earth grow in such a place? All of them grew in extremely harsh environments, but this place was too conspicuous.
Just as Jun Ling was observing this thing, he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from the surroundings. Jun Ling's sword-shaped brows slightly wrinkled, and he retreated several meters in a flash. He hid himself in the bushes, and his eyes looked in the direction of the plant.
A few figures came out of the bushes. They were dressed casually and did not seem to be from any major power. These few people first carefully surveyed their surroundings and only relaxed after confirming that there was no one around.
"Tsk tsk, boss! I didn't expect that this Moon Spirit Flower would be found so easily. It didn't take me much effort to obtain it!" A man's eyes were filled with greed as he stared at the Moon Spirit Flower. He rubbed his hands together, unable to suppress the excitement on his face.
"Cut the crap!! Quickly take it and leave. We won't be staying in a place where trouble arises." A man who seemed to be the leader of the group spoke in a low voice. A few people behind him quickly responded in agreement. Then, a few men walked over to the Moon Spirit Flower and prepared to start digging.
Not far away, Jun Ling's eyes lit up when he heard the Moon Spirit Flower from behind the trees. The Moon Spirit Flower itself wasn't a very heaven defying herb, but its rarity was the Moon Spirit Milk produced by the Moon Spirit Flower. After being tempered and nourished by the heaven and earth origin energy, the Moon Spirit Flower gathered the essence of the sun and moon to form the Moon Spirit Milk.
The Moon Spirit Milk had many effects. If one applied it on an injured area, it could heal within a day. Even broken bones and meridians were incomparable to many medicinal herbs. Furthermore, the Moon Spirit Milk could also be used for cultivation. It was rumored that a drop of the Moon Spirit Milk's Yuan Qi content could match a person cultivating for twenty hours.
Thinking of this, Jun Ling's heart was somewhat moved. That Moon Spirit Milk was not a personal item to begin with. If one were to call it a shameless thing, it meant that the person who saw it would have a share. However... Jun Ling was in a dilemma. Those few fellows actually had Dao Stage cultivation base. He was only at the seventh level of the Profound Stage, and if he rushed forward recklessly, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to defeat them.
Furthermore, he was the one who found the Moon Spirit Milk first. He was not willing to let these guys take it away just like that. Just as Jun Ling was struggling with his thoughts, a few miserable cries suddenly sounded out from the place where the Lunar Spirit Flower was located. When he looked over there, Jun Ling's eyes widened.
The few fellows who were planning to dig out the Moon Spirit Milk just now were now foaming at the mouth and twitching all over their bodies. The meridians on their bodies were visible to the naked eye, as if there were dozens of earthworms crawling on them. That appearance was extremely frightening. The man leading the group, who was lying on the ground, was a little panicked.
"What's going on!? Dalang Erlang!!" The leading man took a few steps forward to help up one of the men on the ground. However, just as he touched the man's body, a tiny white stream of air was sucked into his nostrils.
"Ah!"
The man let out a miserable cry, and a painful expression appeared on his face. It was difficult for him to breathe even though he was holding his neck with both hands. Jun Ling was puzzled by this scene. How could a Dao Stage be so vulnerable? Could it be that there was something fishy about the Moon Spirit Flower?
Looking at the few men who fell to the ground and didn't get up, Jun Ling sneaked out and circled around to the front of the Moon Spirit Flower. However, in the next moment, Jun Ling suddenly opened his eyes wide. The originally white Moon Spirit Flower had now turned dark black. The dark sticky substance hanging on it seemed to be highly toxic.
"Now is a good opportunity, but... The poisonous gas is too strong, even Dao Stage warriors can't get close to it, so how do we get that Moon Spirit Milk?"
Jun Ling was in a dilemma for a moment. Was there anything that he didn't touch the Moon Spirit Flower? He could take it off without being infected by the poison. After thinking about it for a while, Jun Ling's eyes finally fell on the Gentleman Blade. The Gentleman Blade was made of a special material and it could be used with ease. The poison produced by the Moon Spirit Flower should not corrode the blade when it was threatened.
Thinking of this, Jun Ling stood up and held the Gentleman Blade horizontally. He suddenly swung his right arm in the direction of the Moon Spirit Flower. The Gentleman Blade turned into a silver stream of light and flew over. The blade rotated and the Moon Spirit Flower was cut in half in an instant. The Gentleman Blade flew backwards and cut a few big trees in a row. Then, it stopped on a relatively thick tree. The blade of the blade firmly hacked into the tree trunk, causing the big tree to suddenly tremble and many branches to fall.
The method worked! Jun Ling quickly ran over. As expected! The defensive mechanism of the Moon Spirit Flower was broken, and the pitch-black leaves gradually disappeared, replaced by pure white flower petals. Jun Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had succeeded. He flew over and pulled out the Gentleman Blade, then walked back.
The corpses of the few fellows on the ground had already turned cold. Their faces and black eyes were extremely frightening. Jun Ling shook his head and did not pay any more attention to these things. He looked at the Moon Spirit Flower and saw that there was a thick milky white liquid flowing out from the broken roots of the flower. This was the precious Moon Spirit Milk.
He grabbed the broken rhizome and pulled out the Moon Spirit Flower's root. A large amount of Moon Spirit Milk slowly flowed through the soil. After being buried in the ground for several decades, he was actually able to not touch a single drop of soil. This was indeed a thing that everyone went crazy for.
He conveniently pulled out a few gourds from the corpses of those few people. The gourds were hollowed out and used to store Moon Spirit Milk. These few people were already dead, so it was his turn to die.
"Junior Jun Ling's luck is really not bad. You were able to obtain such a precious item like the Moon Spirit Milk. It's really a bountiful harvest!"
Just as Jun Ling was preparing to store the Moon Spirit Milk, a mocking voice sounded from behind him. He stopped what he was doing and turned around. Bai Yan and his team members lazily crossed their arms. Standing. Behind Jun Ling, there was a malicious look on their faces, especially when they saw the Moon Spirit Milk underneath Jun Ling. Their eyes were filled with greed.
"Bai Yan!"
When he saw the man, Jun Ling's eyes turned slightly cold, and a Gentleman Blade appeared in his hand. His voice was emotionless as he said, "What are you doing here?!" Bai Yan coldly snorted and said, "Leave the Moon Spirit Milk to me. I will take care of it and give it to Mr. Loong. If this item is used to reward students... I'll give it to you," Jun Ling said. I'll give it to ___. If this item is used to reward students, then the academy will be very enthusiastic about cultivation. Why don't you give it to Junior Jun Ling?
"What if I say... I don't want to give it to you for free?"
