The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2860 Unexpected Harvest

After Chen Mo left the tent, he ran towards the hilly area.

Of course, it is necessary to avoid some guards and alarm devices.

After all, even if the temperature is very low, there are still guards on duty outside the entire team, arranged by each family in turn. Although the environment is very harsh, it is still necessary to have guards at night, otherwise if something dangerous happens, it will not be solved by freezing, and there may even be a large number of casualties.

Especially in this valley, no one can guarantee that there will be no danger or enemy attacks when sleeping at night. Therefore, there are also necessary guards, and each family must take turns on duty.

Another thing is the alarm device. Originally, relying on the alarm device, there is no need for on-duty personnel. As long as the alarm device is installed properly, it can play a good warning role. But unfortunately, electronic equipment cannot be used in the entire valley.

Therefore, the alarm device adopts a more primitive method and sets up some passive alarm facilities that are triggered by pulling wires. In this way, as long as there are people or strange animals that trigger the warning line, they can be discovered in time.

Everything is set up around the entire camp, including several guards on duty, who are also at several higher positions in the camp, hiding in the leeward area, observing the surrounding situation.

Unfortunately, due to the harsh environment and the wind and snow, the visibility is not very good at all. In addition, there is no light in the entire valley, and the only thing left is some emergency light sources in the camp, so the on-duty personnel cannot see very far.

Therefore, Chen Mo only needed to avoid the passive alarm facilities and bypass the positions of the guards. Of course, his vision was much better than that of the guards, and he could even see farther with daytime vision.

So when Chen Mo left the entire camp, no one noticed.

Even the traces he left behind were not visible at all. After all, according to his strength, it was easy for him to hide his traces on the snow. Even if he didn't use his true energy, he could still use the talisman to eliminate his traces.

When they arrived at the gentle slope, they found that the white dough had long disappeared without a trace, and only a few icicles covered with snow were still standing on the gentle slope. Those were the icicles where several family warriors were frozen to death during the day.

At this time, due to the wind and snow in the whole environment, the snow on the gentle slope was very thick, reaching about one meter. All the noise made during the day, except for those few lumps of ice, had no other traces.

Chen Mo stepped lightly onto the gentle slope and swept his spiritual sense over a three-meter radius, trying to see if there was a large white mass of dough hiding under the snow.

These big white doughs seemed to move slowly, but their attacks were sharp and at absolute zero. Even with the Vajra Talisman he released, he could not resist much. Therefore, he walked very slowly on this section of the road, basically using his spiritual sense to scan the area before moving forward.

However, after the divine sense swept through, it was found that there were cracks in the rocks under the snow layer. There were almost no traces of the big white dough in the cracks, big or small. It was really hard to find where the big white dough was moving. Moreover, these rock cracks were no larger than the size of a palm, which was a bit strange. How did the big white dough get out?

Could it be the white dough that can deform at will and then drill into these gaps?

The more this happened, the more careful Chen Mo became. First, he stopped, then took out all the silver needles one by one and put them in a position where he could take them at any time. Then he also held a silver needle in his hand, which he could throw out at any time. In this way, even if he was attacked, he could counterattack in the shortest time.

He didn't want to endure the attack of absolute zero. If the Vajra Talisman couldn't withstand it and he didn't trigger another Vajra Talisman in time, he would be turned into an ice block in no time.

While using his spiritual sense to scan, he walked up the gentle slope. At this time, he walked very slowly, just like a person taking a walk. Although this speed was a bit slow, it was the best means of defense, because no one knew whether a big white dough would jump out from the cracks in the rocks under his feet.

In addition, I don’t know how many big white doughs there are on the gentle slope of the hill. Are there only five or more?

Chen Mo could imagine that if he was surrounded by more white dough, he might be in danger.

However, what he didn't expect was that he didn't see any danger, but instead found an innate dagger buried under the snow.

The divine sense swept over and instantly took out the innate dagger from the snow. After reaching out to take it, there was still a thick layer of ice on the dagger. When the true essence was activated, the ice shattered one after another, revealing the original appearance of the innate dagger. After a quick glance, I saw the words Qian Ying on the blade and the handle, and the logo of the Special Management Bureau on the back.

Chen Mo chuckled, this dagger belonged to the old man Qian Ying. He didn't expect that Qian Ying had lost his dagger here while running away. It was really a good deal for him. Just by walking here, he got such a precious innate dagger.

He put the innate dagger into his Qiankun bag and put it aside for the time being. He would not return it to Qian Ying, the old man. Instead, he thought that after leaving the valley, he would take the time to refine the dagger, remove the name and markings, and then add some runes to change the shape of the innate dagger. He could then give it to Ouyang Ruoxi for her to use.

In the martial arts world, the Xiantian Dagger is issued by the Special Management Bureau to all Xiantian masters. Therefore, except for Xiantian masters, no one else will use this dagger, not even imitating it. After all, no martial artist would risk offending the Special Management Bureau and Xiantian martial artists to satisfy their vanity.

Therefore, if Ouyang Ruoxi wants to use this dagger, it needs to be extended or shortened, and the entire appearance needs to be changed.

Of course, he already had some things in his hands, so adding them to the dagger and then using refining techniques made it relatively simple.

He put away the dagger and continued to walk up the gentle slope. He did not find anything else along the way, except that the snow layer became thicker. There was no other white dough or silkworms, nothing at all. The only sound was the sound of wind and snow.

In fact, Chen Mo could also feel that there was a set of complex formations in the entire hilly area, which wrapped the entire hill. Perhaps it was because of this complex formation that it could meet the environment for the Golden Edge Snow Lotus to grow.

In other words, this place was specially opened up to grow golden-edged snow lotus.

In addition, the environment of the entire valley and some special areas may have been the locations of the cultivators' sects in the past, which is why there are such strange areas in the valley and those strange creatures. Otherwise, there would not be the complex formations here.

Fortunately, the entire formation has no attack power, it just has a relatively low temperature. In addition, when someone enters the formation, it will trigger the formation and gradually reduce the temperature in the formation. Although it is unknown how low the temperature will drop, according to the consumption of the formation and the required temperature of the golden-edged snow lotus in the nursery, the current temperature should have reached the limit and may not continue to drop.

After all, if it continues to drop, the temperature of the entire environment will not only be unsuitable for humans, but also for the Golden Edge Snow Lotus. Even if the Golden Edge Snow Lotus is a spiritual herb, it will not survive in such an absolutely low temperature environment.

The most important point is that the entire formation needs to consume a lot of energy to operate and create such a low temperature environment. Once the energy is exhausted, the entire formation may collapse. Therefore, there should be a special protection mechanism in the formation to prevent the temperature in the formation from continuing to drop, otherwise the formation will not be able to operate for thousands of years.

When I came to the edge of the hilly nursery and looked at the entire nursery, I found that many golden-edged snow lotuses were still swaying in the wind and snow, and they were not frozen or withered due to the low temperature. In fact, because of the low temperature environment, the flowers of these golden-edged snow lotuses bloomed more dazzlingly, like elves in the snow, with ice crystals hanging on the petals, but still blooming brilliantly.

As expected, it is worthy of being a precious spiritual herb. Even in the world of cultivation, this golden-edged snow lotus is also a relatively precious spiritual herb. After all, spiritual herbs that can repair the soul are precious and scarce everywhere.

There are actually thousands of plants in this nursery, which is really a lot. Especially in the center of the nursery, there are several thousand-year-old golden snow lotuses. Every time a plant appears in the cultivation world, it will attract a bloody fight for it.

Chen Mo was very excited when he saw these plants. He even wanted to transplant them into Qiankun Pearl. But in the end, he gave up the idea.

After all, the Qiankun Pearl was his last resort and the foundation he relied on. All his cultivation depended on the Qiankun Pearl. If he took it out at this time, no one would know what was hidden in this valley. Just like the jade skeleton he encountered before, it was a thousand-year-old monster. If it hadn't had a body, its ability would definitely be able to kill Chen Mo.

So, in this nursery, the Qiankun Pearl was revealed. Even if he used formations to isolate the aura of the Qiankun Pearl, he could not guarantee that the entire nursery formation did not have any hidden mechanisms, or that it was being watched by some powerful being.

Once triggered, the powerful beings hidden in the valley, or the thousand-year-old monsters would be lured out. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Therefore, he suppressed his excitement and decided to collect some golden snow lotuses that were over a hundred years old. He didn't need too many, just a hundred would be enough. In addition, he would only need to collect two thousand-year-old golden snow lotuses from the center of the nursery.
