Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 300 Surprise
Xu Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

True Monarch Ghost Ling twitched violently a few times, his heart was both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

I didn't expect to meet a real fairy just after returning from the wilderness, it was like a dream.

He couldn't believe that Xu Chen was still chatting with Zhenxian so easily.

Not to mention the past, in the entire Shenzhou Immortal Realm, there has not been a monk who has become an immortal for thousands of years, and naturally he has never heard of immortals descending to the realm.

"Little monk, shall we leave now?" the woman asked while patting the white fox.

Xu Chen hurriedly said: "Senior, wait a moment, I want to ask whether these colorful plants are things from the fairy world, and what is their origin?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know these things, but I just think they are weird, so I stayed to check them out!"

Xu Chen was a little discouraged when he heard it, but then he was even more surprised.

Could it be something that even the true immortals of the Moon Wheel Heaven could not recognize, could it be a species above the Five Elements Heaven?
Just when he was guessing in surprise, two deafening gurgling sounds suddenly came from the earth hole under the Resurrection Tree, and then two washbasin-sized toads jumped out.

Xu Chen was taken aback, but then he realized that this should be the two seven-star golden cicadas back then, but he didn't expect it to become so big, and the color became so strange. The seven-star spots turned into seven colors, and the aura emitted was also very strange and terrifying. There was a faint aura that made the soul throb. Whether it was the eyes or the spiritual consciousness falling on the body, the soul would feel a needle-like sting, and even the blood was a little out of control.

"This is... the Seven Star Golden Toad?" True Monarch Guiling couldn't help being surprised.

Xu Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's right. This is the two-headed Seven-Star Golden Cicada I brought back from Yuqing Palace, but it seems to be advanced. It wasn't as big and colorful as before."

But the woman glanced at it and said: "It's just two ordinary spirit toads, what's all the fuss about."

Xu Chen could only smile wryly and said, "To seniors, this kind of golden toad is nothing more than ordinary, but in the eyes of mortal monks, it is a treasure for cultivating broken ranks. It seems that these weird plants are very suitable for the life of golden toad, and they can only stay here in the future!"

Just as he was talking, suddenly the ground not far away shook slightly, and then a huge snake head with colorful and terrifying aura slowly arched out.

In fact, the arch is not suitable, as if it suddenly grew out of the soil, appearing in the medicine garden out of thin air.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, be careful!" True Monarch Ghost Ling's face changed drastically, and he blocked Xu Chen behind him one step at a time.

Even the woman was taken aback by the sudden appearance, she took a few steps back holding the white fox, staring at it with a surprised expression.

Xu Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior, don't be nervous. This is also a strange plant. It always likes to hide underground. It seems that it came out after sensing my breath."

"Gugua~Gugua~" Two huge toads jumped in front of Xu Chen, showing a very humane look of expectation.

The huge snake head slowly stretched out, sniffed at Xu Chen's feet a few times, then walked around Xu Chen's body from the legs to the chest, and finally gently arched Xu Chen's storage bag with its head. The snake's face still showed a hint of anticipation.

"What a strange thing, Pindao has never seen such a non-spiritual and non-beast thing!" Ghost Spirit True Monarch said with a face full of shock.

Xu Chen rummaged through the storage bag and the Xuanjing bracelet, and found that the Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill was gone. He was about to spread his hands to express that he didn't bring a gift, but then he remembered something, so his spiritual sense penetrated into the Tianshen Monument to draw out a ghostly water.

Accompanied by the light blue liquid appearing like a clear spring out of thin air, the snake-headed plant and the two golden toads suddenly became agitated violently, swarming up to the ghost water, each opened their mouths and began to swallow.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by two vibrations, two almost identical huge snake heads popped out of the soil, and then rolled and coiled like giant pythons to join the battle group that snatched the Ghost Water.

For a moment, two toads and three big snakes fought frantically around this spring water as if they were scrambling for food. From time to time, they would bite each other a few times, but they seemed to be well-measured, and they didn't kill each other. It just made the whole scene even more heated. During the collision, many plants in the medicine garden were knocked down.

Seeing that Xu Chen became nervous, he quickly put away the ghost water.

The snake-headed plants with two golden toads and three pythons gradually calmed down, but Wushuang's big and strange eyes all looked at Xu Chen.

"Woo~" The white fox jumped down from the woman's arms, and in a few steps, it rushed into the earth hole where the two toads lived, and soon came out with a golden toad in its mouth.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and joyfully took the toad in his hand, only to find that the two toads turned to look at the white fox together, showing a very angry expression.

"Gu gua gua gua~" the two toads let out a deafening and threatening roar.

"Woo~" Xiaobai yelled not to be outdone, but his momentum was obviously much weaker, and he hid behind Xu Chen in a flash, staring at the hole with two ruby-like eyes, and at the same time he kept pushing Xu Chen's legs with his head.

Xu Chen instantly understood that there might be toad slough inside the toad hole.

But it was obvious that the two toads did not want the toad slough to be taken away by Xiao Bai.

Xu Chen imprisoned the two toads in place as soon as his vitality rolled, and then his spiritual sense penetrated into the earth cave, and he was dazzled by a golden aura. There was not only one toad slough inside, but a huge pile, almost covering a huge earth cave about ten feet in size.

Shed so much skin in half a year?

Xu Chen was surprised and delighted.

What surprised him even more was that among these toad sloughs, there was a pile of golden things that looked like crystal pearls, each grain was the size of a fist, and exuded a faint breath of life when piled together.

"Is this a toad egg?"

Xu Chen suddenly came to his senses. After being surprised for a moment, he carefully used his vitality to roll the few toad sloughs that had not accumulated toad eggs out of the hole.

This thing is useless to him now, but in the current situation where ghost beasts are raging, the more this kind of elixir to improve middle and low-level monks, the better.

He counted it, and with the one that Xiaobai took out, there were eight toads shedding in total, that is to say, this pair of golden toads would shed one skin almost every month.

Moreover, the breath of these toad sloughs is also different, the bigger ones are obviously fresher, and the medicinal properties seem to be much stronger.

According to his judgment, the two largest ones have almost reached the state of third-order elixir.

In other words, in half a year, the two golden toads evolved from the first stage to the third stage, and they also started laying eggs to hatch.

According to the current situation, hundreds of young toads may be hatched in the near future, and they are not ordinary degenerate toads, at least they are golden toads that have reached the standard of being used as medicine.

It seems that the ghost energy not only accelerated the growth of these strange plants, but also accelerated the evolution of the two golden toads countless times.

Reminiscent of the ghost water's ability to open up spiritual intelligence, Xu Chen once again drew out a stream of ghost water, which fell directly into the earth cave, forming a small pit of water, in which a bunch of toad eggs were foamed.

Ghost water itself does not have any toxicity or side effects, at least in his feelings.

In addition, judging from the situation where the two golden toads and the snake-headed plants competed for the ghost water just now, these things can also feel the benefits through their keen instincts, otherwise they would not be so crazy about snatching them.

"Cack croak ~"

After taking away the toad slough and putting it in the ghost water, Xu Chen loosened the restraint of vitality, and the two golden toads seemed to feel the breath of the ghost water in the nest, turned around and rushed in as two golden afterimages.

Under the monitoring of Xu Chen's spiritual sense, he found that after the two golden cicadas went in, they lay down next to the ghost water, curled up and tightly protected a pile of toad eggs, and never planned to come out again.

"Senior, wait a moment, the plants in the medicine garden seem to have matured and fallen off, I'll pack it up and leave!"

Xu Chen turned around and said something to the woman, and then let go of his consciousness to cover the entire medicine garden and the nearby hillside.

After half a year, most of the plants in the medicine garden have matured and dropped their fruits, and many plants have begun to wither. If you guessed correctly, those plants growing near the cabin and on the mountain road should be the new growth of fallen seeds.

"These plants are really strange, they can absorb not only spiritual energy, but also white energy, and they can also absorb dark energy, which is totally incomprehensible.

Now that the plants all over the mountains and plains are already dead, if these plants are allowed to continue to grow and mature and then spread, I am afraid that in the near future, the entire mountain will be full of these plants..."

Xu Chen muttered inwardly, and found a few vermilion fruits with snow-white spots scattered on one of the bushes several feet high, the size of a thumb, which looked extremely weird.

He went forward to pick these fruits and put them into the bracelet. He also collected some other fruits or seeds that remained. He even picked more than ten crystal-clear fruits that looked like purple-gold grapes from the vines on the Resurrection Wood.

In this medicine garden, he has invested hundreds of fast spirit stones, which can be said to be a huge expense. He only harvested such a small amount at the moment, and he really felt that he could not make ends meet, but it is better to gain than nothing. These things, in the future, may be clues to the origin of the blue jade beads.

After harvesting the fruit, Xu Chen found a lot of colorful cocoons on some rice stalks that looked like corn. These were left by those insects cocooning back then, but these cocoons had all hatched and turned into empty shells. They are quite good spiritual materials that can be used to make some things in the future.

As for the others, there is nothing special to discover right now.

Although these plants have a strong vitality, he didn't think of how to use them, and now he has to go to rescue the two senior sisters as soon as possible, so Xu Chen didn't dare to waste time staying for a long time.
