Clouds and mountain tops

"Those spiders are poisonous, so be careful. Are there any antidotes? You should prepare more." Teacher Zhou asked.

"The antidote has been prepared. Teacher Zhou, how is your training going?" Baili Qi asked.

"That's good. Poison is more difficult to deal with. My practice is going pretty smoothly now. Basically, I can fill the lake with water in two or three days. I am satisfied with this progress."

"Xiao Qi, I have something to tell you. You need to prepare in advance. In about two weeks, the prime minister will celebrate his 50th birthday. He would like to ask my sect to send some elite young men to perform martial arts for him. There will also be a corresponding martial arts competition at that time."

"It is also because you became famous in the competition organized by the general last time, so the prime minister asked me to send more students to participate, and you guys were specifically selected to participate."

"The headmaster just talked about this yesterday. I've been wondering if there's any conspiracy involved. It's still early."

"You should take part in this task first, and then we can discuss it together when you come back," Teacher Zhou replied.

"Okay." Bailiqi responded.

The next day, the group arrived at the Mountains of Brightness by flying.

This time, they chose to settle down at Yulin Peak.

This Yulin Peak is a little different from when Bailiqi came here a few years ago.

When he came here that time, he felt that although it was a bit desolate, the air was still quite fresh.

But now I feel that the air here is a little abnormal, and there seems to be a fishy smell.

The trees here are still strong and tall, but the weeds beside the trees are growing wildly, almost reaching a person's waist.

And there are so many kinds, most of which I can’t name.

Fortunately, someone from the Medicine Department was here, and many people would ask him what kind of herbs these were, and he would introduce them in detail.

This is Alopecuroides, also known as Sorghum sorghum, an annual herb that blooms and bears fruit from April to August every year. The whole plant is used as medicine, with a light taste and cool.

Veronica officinalis is a one- to two-year-old herbaceous plant of the Scrophulariaceae family with soft hairs. The flowers are solitary in the axils of the bracts, with light blue corollas. They grow in fields and roadsides; the whole plant can be used for medicinal purposes. The flowering period is from March to May, and it reproduces by seeds.

Oleander, Caryophyllaceae, Oleander. Also known as Granny's nail vegetable, sticky hair Oleander. Biennial or sometimes annual herb. Seedling period from November to February of the following year. Flowering and fruiting period from April to May. Propagated by seeds. Prefers to grow in dry and loose soil.

Plantain, also known as wheel vegetable, is a perennial herb with a stem up to 50 cm tall and fibrous roots. It has expectorant, antitussive and antiasthmatic effects.

The people in the medicine department are so knowledgeable and talented that they know all the wild herbs in the mountains like the back of their hands. It can be seen that they have indeed studied a lot of medicinal materials in their daily lives, which is really enviable.

Their strategy for this demon-eliminating operation was to split into two groups.

Baili Qi, Hu Yunluo, Miao Shangfei, and Tan Ruyi form a group, and the other seven people form another group.

Bailiqi's group is responsible for luring people, pretending to be a treasure hunting group, and will walk around here.

The other group is another treasure hunting team. The two groups are separated by a distance, but not too far, so they can keep in touch with each other.

From Bailiqi's group, Hu Yunluo and Miao Shangfei came here to hunt for treasure with Bailiqi last time.

However, these two people were responsible for guarding outside the cave.

Hu Yunluo’s current cultivation level is the eighth level of the peak of the Xuan realm.

The last time he came here, his cultivation level was at the seventh level of the middle stage of the Profound Realm.

Miao Shangfei’s current cultivation level is the ninth level of the peak of the Xuan realm.

The last time he came here, his cultivation level was at the eighth level of the middle stage of the Profound Realm.

When Hu Yunluo and Miao Shangfei learned that Baili Qi's cultivation level was the ninth level of the peak of the Xuan realm, they were stunned. How could he be promoted so quickly!

But later on, I felt relieved because he was the champion in the first year's competition for new students. He must be a genius with extraordinary talent!

Tan Ruyi is a new member. He is twenty years old and his cultivation level is at the seventh level of the peak of the Xuan realm.

There are not just one cave on the Yulin Peak, but three. There is a considerable distance between the three caves. The last time Bailiqi went to the cave in the middle.

The owner of that cave has a cultivation level of Xuan Realm. There are restrictions on entering his cave, and the cultivation level cannot exceed Xuan Realm.

The owner of that cave must have some magic weapon, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get in.

But currently no one in Bailiqi's group has such a magic weapon, so they won't go in this time.

However, Bailiqi believes that this cave is most likely the lair of those mysterious people, so it needs to be closely guarded.

This is the focus of another group's work.

Bailiqi and his group first chose to explore the cave at the bottom.

The reason is that the owner of this cave may not have a high level of cultivation, so it is not a key area for exploration.

But just in case, I'll spend less time to take a look first, and then focus on exploring the cave at the top.

The other group is in the middle position and can go up or down, and taking care of each other is not a problem.

The environment in the cave at the bottom is indeed worse and the fishy smell is stronger.

Bailiqi's group was not willing to stay any longer, but in order to investigate him in detail, they had no choice but to make a round.

This cave also has restrictions, and Tan Ruyi quickly solved the restriction magic circle.

However, none of them could get in either, as this cave required a certain level of cultivation.

They had no choice but to give up entering the cave.

Their comprehensive conclusion was that the cultivation level of the owner of this cave should not be very high, and in most cases his cultivation level would not exceed the Xuan realm.

They planned to just explore around the hole and call it a day.

All of them chose to fly in the air and didn't want to set foot in this place at all.

Bailiqi summoned Dongfang Xiaoshuai and rode on him. Xiaoshuai was the size of a small goat, small and exquisite.

With the experience from last time, Bailiqi was quite sensitive to this spider.

The stench here is very similar to the smell in the living room of the cave of the master in the mysterious realm last time.

Not only is the smell unpleasant, it is also mixed with poison, and people can easily be poisoned by it.

Bailiqi reminded the people who were traveling with him that they could fly higher and he would do the exploration work.

The other few people were eager to leave here, and when they heard what he said, they immediately flew high and observed the place from a distance to prevent Bailiqi from getting into any accidents.

Bailiqi noticed some bones on the ground, which looked like human skulls and leg bones, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

"In the past few years, those spiders have extended their homes here!"

Sure enough, after a closer look, I saw that there were indeed some small spiders moving under the weeds, but the movements were very small.

Maybe because Bailiqi is here, they are all hiding quietly, but they will still move a little occasionally and be observed by Bailiqi.

Bailiqi remained silent, pretending he saw nothing.

It flew here for a while, and after confirming many times that what it observed was a spider, it flew away.
