After experiencing a life-and-death struggle, Lin Xia did not give up his desire to continue his training in Qingyu Mountain.

Cultivators are meant to go against the will of Heaven. If they give up easily when faced with setbacks, how can they ever have the chance to face the heavenly thunder and reach a higher level of cultivation?!

When the rising sun shed its first rays of light, Lin Xia began a new day of adventure.

The Qingyu Mountain is full of rolling hills, stretching as far as the eye can see. Lin Xia has been wandering around for nearly a month but is still on the outskirts.

The closer you get to the center of Qingyu Mountain, the richer the spiritual energy becomes. It is a good place for cultivation, but of course it is also more dangerous.

However, a rookie in the Qi Refining Stage like Lin Xia didn't dare to go any deeper, for fear of losing his life. He had to seize the opportunity even if it meant he would die.

These days, Lin Xia has been encountering monsters more and more frequently. Some low-level monsters would rush forward to attack when they saw Lin Xia, while the second-level and above monsters almost all kept moving forward, heading directly towards the central mountain range. They seemed to be very purposeful and did not stop just because they met a cultivator.

This kind of situation can be seen almost every day. Lin Xia is sure that something must have happened in the central mountain range of Qingyu Mountain, which has brought a fatal attraction to the monsters, otherwise it would be impossible for them to flock to the central mountain range in such large numbers.

Lin Xia was guessing in his heart, but he did not let his guard down. Instead, he became extremely cautious: if something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

The desire of monks for opportunities is just like the desire of modern people for power and money. In modern society, despite legal constraints, some people will still take risks, not to mention that in the world of cultivation, there are many cases of murder and robbery.

There are countless monks who come to Qingyu Mountain for adventure, and not all of them have good intentions.

Lin Xia had witnessed before: a cultivator pushed his companion into the bloody mouth of a monster in order to survive.

The monk didn't even look back at his companion who had protected him from disaster, but ran away for his life.

The cruelty of the world of cultivation is bloody and brutal. If you want to go far, you must be extremely careful. This understanding is becoming more and more profound in Lin Xia's heart.

Lin Xia walked carefully in the dense bushes, paying attention to the movements around her and vigilantly observing her feet.

Although these shrubs are relatively short, they are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. Many rare poisonous insects, snakes and ants are hidden among them. If you are not careful, you may get bitten.

Although monks have spiritual power to protect their bodies, they are not immune to all poisons. If they encounter more powerful poisonous insects, the detoxification pills will not be effective or will not be suitable for the disease. If they are not careful, they will die.

But where there is danger, there are often opportunities.

Just then, after turning a corner, Lin Xia found a magical herb that was shining with spiritual light in a dense patch of grass. At first glance, he knew it was a good thing.

After careful identification, it was confirmed that this was a fourth-level snake spirit grass, which was the material for refining high-level detoxification pills, specifically for snake venom. It was a relatively rare spirit grass. If it was sold, a large sum of spirit stones could be earned.

Lin Xia was pleasantly surprised, but she suppressed her excitement. She took out the medicine shovel and jade box from her storage bag, squatted down, and carefully approached the snake spirit grass. She dug towards the roots of the snake spirit grass quickly and accurately.

Almost at the same time when Lin Xia took action, a brown insect the size of a finger suddenly jumped out from the root of the snake spirit grass, opened its mouth and bit Lin Xia's fingertips. Lin Xia was unable to dodge and hurriedly used the medicine shovel in his hand to block it, thus avoiding the insect's attack.

Seeing that it missed the target, the little bug gave up biting Lin Xia's fingers and instead flew straight towards Lin Xia's face at an extremely fast speed.

At this time, Lin Xia was using the force to swing the medicine shovel and his butt hit the ground. There was no way to avoid it. He quickly practiced the magic formula and shot out a ray of spiritual fire, but it did not touch the insect at all.

But this did buy Lin Xia some breathing time.

The insect was probably born afraid of fire, and it changed direction slightly and landed on the grass next to it.

However, it obviously had no intention of giving up attacking Lin Xia, and in a flash it attacked Lin Xia again.

Lin Xia knew in his heart that the insect had probably already coveted this Snake Spirit Grass and had been guarding it to absorb its medicinal properties. Now that its possessions were being coveted, it was unlikely to be kind and would instinctively find the right opportunity to bite him, not to mention that he had already made an enemy by digging up the Snake Spirit Grass.

So concentrate your energy and deal with it with all your strength.

Lin Xia shot another wisp of spiritual fire at the little bug, but it was dodged again. The bug only paused in the air for a moment, turned around, and attacked Lin Xia again.

Lin Xia was angry and shot a wisp of spiritual fire at the insect again. This time, he almost hit it. The insect was frightened and turned its head to fly to the other side, landing on a blade of grass a little further away, about two meters away from Lin Xia.

But it was still heading towards Lin Xia, as if looking for an opportunity to take a bite when Lin Xia was not paying attention.

Lin Xia didn't want to waste any more time. Without waiting for the insect to move, he shot several wisps of spiritual fire at it, and even the blade of grass was affected.

Lin Xia's eyes were fixed on the blade of grass. She saw that the insect actually flew out through the flames, but after a few breaths, it fell directly to the ground.

Lin Xia waited for a while, and when the little insect stopped moving, she walked forward. The insect had indeed been burned to death, one of its wings was broken in half, and its whole body had turned black.

This was the first time Lin Xia had seen this insect. It looked unremarkable, but Lin Xia knew that this insect must be poisonous, and its ordinary appearance was just to confuse the enemy.

Compared to those brightly colored insects that carry toxins, this ordinary-looking insect is more deadly and often difficult to guard against.

Just like this insect, its color is similar to the soil. It had been hiding in the roots of the snake grass before, using its own appearance advantage to hide its body, and then launched an attack when Lin Xia was not paying attention.

Fortunately, there was no harm.

However, Lin Xia became more careful afterwards.

After returning to the place where the snake spirit grass was, Lin Xia first carefully observed the roots of the snake spirit grass, and then carefully searched the weeds next to it. Then he picked up the medicine shovel again and began to dig up the snake spirit grass. Finally, he carefully put the snake spirit grass into the jade box to preserve its medicinal properties.

This time everything went very smoothly without any further problems. It seemed that this was the insect's territory and there were no other poisonous insects.

Lin Xia did collect the corpse of the poisonous insect, but she didn't know the details of the insect. However, she could take it to the grocery store to show the owner, or take it to the market, perhaps exchanging it for some spirit stones.

Without stopping for too long, Lin Xia put away the Snake Spirit Grass and walked towards the next place.
