Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 159 Harvesting along the way, constant surprises
The two climbed over a mountain and came to a higher mountain.

"look."

Wei He pointed to the stone wall, "There is a spiritual herb over there, why don't you pick it? It will be easier to remember it."

"it is good."

Lu Fan looked up, and saw a spiritual grass growing in the crack of the stone wall.

It's green and clustered together, looking like a pile of weeds.

With a leap, his body rose into the air, stepped on the stone wall with his feet, and raised his body again.

The next moment, he had come to the spirit grass, stretched out his hand, and uprooted it.

"This kind of spiritual grass is called Iron Stone Grass, and in terms of rank, it is considered a low-grade spiritual grass."

Wei He explained: "But even low-grade spirit grasses are worth a lot. It's no problem to exchange for a dozen low-grade spirit stones."

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded and looked at the spirit grass carefully.

He knew that spirit grass was an essential material for refining spirit pills.

It is irreplaceable.

Unlike spirit stones, beast pills can be used instead.

Similarly, animal pills can also be replaced by spirit stones.

It's just that the effect is good or bad.

"I'm done."

Lu Fan memorized the appearance of Tieshicao and handed it back to Wei He, "Put it away."

"Row."

Wei He put away the spirit grass and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's move on."

The two moved on.

After walking a few steps, Wei He's eyes lit up, and he came to a tree, squatted down, and stared straight at a certain place.

"Is this also a spirit herb?"

Lu Fan followed Wei He's gaze and saw a small green grass standing quietly under the tree with a few small white flowers blooming on it.

"Ah."

Wei He smiled, and said, "This is also a low-grade spiritual grass, named Linglong Flower, and it's easy to recognize."

"I'll pick it."

Lu Fan took the initiative to pick the Linglong flower, held it in his hand and observed it carefully.

He remembered Linglonghua's appearance carefully.

"We have a good harvest. We found two spiritual grasses in such a short period of time."

"It's nothing."

Wei He smiled and said, "The harvest is still to come."

"Here, put it away."

Lu Fan handed the Linglong Flower to Wei He.

Wei He took the Linglong Flower and put it into the storage ring, stood up and said, "Let's move on."

The two moved on again.

After climbing several peaks in a row, the two of them prepared to climb a higher peak.

Along the way, the two of them have harvested eight spiritual grasses.

Although they are all low-grade spiritual herbs, they are still a very good harvest.

Soon halfway up the mountain, Wei He suddenly stopped, pointed with his finger not far away, and said with joy on his face, "Look at that."

Lu Fan looked in the direction of Wei He's finger, and saw a small red grass swaying in the wind.

"That's Fengmingcao, a middle-grade spirit grass."

Wei He said: "With it, you can refine middle-grade panacea. Even if you take it directly, it will have a good effect."

"I'm going to pick it up."

Lu Fan walked forward while talking.

He came to Fengmingcao, squatted down, pulled it up by the roots, held it in his hand and observed it for a while, then handed it to Wei He, and said with a smile: "This one is worth ten low-grade spirit grasses, right? "

"That's more than that."

Wei He explained: "The gap between middle-grade spiritual grass and low-grade spiritual grass is even bigger than you can imagine. In terms of value, the difference may be hundreds of times."

"so much?"

Lu Fan was greatly surprised.

"You have to know that the higher the grade of spiritual grass, the rarer it is."

Wei He patiently explained to Lu Fan every time, "The value of high-grade spiritual grass is even more immeasurable. Even a hundred Fengming grass can't be exchanged for one high-grade spiritual grass."

"I see."

Lu Fan nodded, "Correspondingly, the value of top-grade panacea is also inestimable."

"That's natural."

Wei He said: "The value of a top-grade spirit pill is much higher than a top-grade spirit grass."

"It's mainly because the materials needed for alchemy, in addition to top-grade spirit grass, also need top-grade spirit stones."

"And the most important point is the scarcity of high-grade alchemists."

"If you want to become an alchemist, you must first have your own fire attribute. There is no such person in a million."

"Secondly, there must be a strong mental power, which undoubtedly stuck some people."

"It's even more difficult to become a high-grade alchemist."

Speaking of this, Wei He sighed: "So, this has caused the scarcity of top-grade elixir, and also made the value of top-grade elixir immeasurable."

"Fire attribute?"

Lu Fan remembered the Xuanbing spear technique he had learned, and asked, "Isn't the fire attribute brought about by practicing martial arts good?"

"Of course not."

Wei He shook his head lightly, "It must be the original fire. Besides the natural fire attribute, there are actually two ways."

"Oh?"

Lu Fan became interested when he heard it, "Which two?"

"The first is the hardest, but it also works the best."

Wei He said: "The heaven and the earth have their own spiritual fire. If you can subdue the spiritual fire, you will naturally have the fire attribute."

"It's just that this kind of spiritual fire is extremely powerful, and some have even evolved spiritual wisdom, so it is difficult to be subdued."

"If the strength is not enough, it may be swallowed by the spirit fire."

"So, very few people try this method."

"Another way is spirit beasts."

"Fire Attribute Spirit Beast."

"Not only do you have to subdue the spirit beast, but you also have to establish a spiritual contract with the spirit beast and become partners regardless of each other."

"That way, the attributes can be shared, and the fire attribute of the spirit beast will become yours."

"The higher the rank of the spirit beast, the better the effect of the fire attribute."

"But this is also more difficult."

"First of all, you must have strong spiritual power, and secondly, you must have the secret technique of controlling beasts, so that it is possible to establish a spiritual contract with spirit beasts."

"More importantly, spirit beasts are intelligent, and they must be willing to establish a spiritual contract with you."

"It's easier said than done?"

"Also, as far as I know, the secret art of beast control has almost been lost."

"Even if someone is barely able to control beasts, it is the nature of a spiritual pet. It is impossible to establish a spiritual contract at all, and there is no way to share attributes."

"In fact, both methods are very difficult, and few people can do it."

As he spoke, Wei He turned his gaze to the distance, "Those who can do it, even in the world of cultivating immortals, are extremely outstanding."

"It's really hard."

After Lu Fan understood it, he could imagine how difficult it was.

But because of the difficulty, after obtaining it, there are great benefits.

If there is a chance in the future, he would like to try it.

"There is a spirit bird."

Wei He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky, "It seems to be a third-order spiritual bird, a colorful skylark, which happens to have the fire attribute."

"Colorful Skylark? What a coincidence?"

Lu Fan looked up and saw a big colorful bird hovering in the sky.

Suddenly, the big bird swooped straight down, sticking out its sharp claws in the air.

"I'll try."

Lu Fan soared into the sky and flew towards the colorful skylark.

"Shh!"

Kunwu knife has been unsheathed.

The next moment, the black blade had arrived in front of the colorful skylark.

The colorful skylark opened its mouth, and a ball of flame spewed out, carrying a scorching heat.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Lu Fan fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard.

The colorful skylark wailed, and its body was shaken high into the sky.

"Go down!"

Wei He suddenly appeared high in the sky, just landed on the top of the colorful skylark, and threw out a punch.

"Oh!"

The colorful skylark fell from the sky like a meteor.

Immediately afterwards, it fell hard to the ground, motionless.

Lu Fan stepped forward to investigate, but saw that the colorful skylark had already lost its breath.

He really felt the gap between himself and Wei He.

In the fight just now, he was actually at a slight disadvantage.

If he tried his best, coupled with his various hole cards, he might be able to defeat the Colorful Skylark, but it would take a long time.

What's more, with the speed of the colorful skylark, if he wanted to run, he couldn't catch up at all.

But Wei He was different, he easily killed the Colorful Skylark with just one punch lightly, the gap can be imagined.

Just as he was thinking, Wei He had come to him, casually took out the inner alchemy of the colorful skylark, and held it in his hand.

The fiery red animal pill has a scorching temperature.

The spiritual power contained in it is even more terrifying.

"The third-order beast pill is in hand."

Wei He put away the beast pill, and casually put the colorful skylark into the interspatial ring, and said with a smile, "We can try something new at noon."

"Yes."

Lu Fan hasn't tasted the taste of a third-order spirit beast yet, and he has a little more expectation in his heart. I don't know how many assignable attributes the third-order spirit bird can add to him?
"It's only been a few days, and I see that your strength has improved again."

Wei He glanced at Lu Fan, and said, "You can fight head-on with the third-order spirit bird, but you won't lose."

"Although your cultivation has not reached extraordinary, your real strength is not much different from that of an extraordinary warrior."

"This talent is not as good as even me."

Wei He sighed: "It seems that my choice is correct. What I can't do, you will definitely be able to do in the future."

"Brother won the prize."

Lu Fan knew in his heart that Wei He was the truly amazing and talented person.

In just a few decades, he was promoted to the realm of heaven and man, only one step away from the gods on land.

It was still in the case of being injured halfway and recuperating for several years.

But he has something else to rely on.

"Go, continue."

The two continued to move forward and climbed over the high mountain, only to see a snow mountain in front of them.

The mountain is very high.

According to Lu Fan's visual measurement, it is almost [-] meters high.

From the halfway up the mountain, it is all covered with ice and snow, a vast expanse of whiteness.

"I've never been to that snow mountain before."

Wei He pointed to the snow-capped mountain, "Why don't we go up and have a look today, maybe we will have unexpected gains."

"Okay."

Lu Fan also had the same intention.

"Let's go then."

Wei He said: "Regardless of whether we have harvested or not, we will stop here today. We will go back after we have crossed that mountain."

"Ah."

The two agreed and moved on.

Soon climbed to the middle of the mountain.

Thick snow layer, very soft.

Some places are even deeper than one person.

But for Lu Fan and Wei He, it was still as if they were walking on flat ground.

In almost a moment, the two reached the top of the mountain.

"There's a bear."

Lu Fan saw a giant sleeping in the distance.

It was a white bear.

With a huge body like a hill, he raised his head.

Accompanied by bursts of snoring, its body kept rising and falling.

"It's the Ice Demon Bear."

Wei He explained: "It is a sixth-order spirit beast, and it likes to live in the ice and snow."

"A sixth-order spirit beast?"

Lu Fan was overjoyed, "If I can kill it and get the sixth-order beast pill, wouldn't it be more than what we have gained before?"

"Not more."

Wei He pointed to the cliff above the head of the Ice Demon Bear, "Look at that."

It was an ice cliff, about ten feet high.

The whole cliff is completely covered by ice and snow, and it is all white in sight.

On the top of the cliff, there is a white flower blooming quietly.

The petals are large and white and flawless.

From a distance, it looks very beautiful.

Even with a bit of coquettishness.

"Is that spiritual grass?"

Lu Fan's eyes were attracted by the white flower, and he couldn't look away.

"That's right, and it's a high-grade spiritual grass, snow lotus."

Wei He said with a smile: "I have seen it for at least hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Even among top-grade spiritual herbs, it is considered the best."

"It's so powerful?"

Lu Fan was surprised: "Isn't that very valuable?"

"of course."

Wei He was in a good mood with a smile on his face, "With it, you can easily exchange for a low-grade immortal-level exercise. If you meet a suitable buyer, you may even switch to a middle-grade immortal-level exercise."

"This is really a treasure."

Lu Fan instantly understood the value of the thousand-year-old snow lotus, and thought that today's visit was not in vain, and it could be called a fruitful harvest.

"This ice demon bear chose to sleep here, perhaps to protect this thousand-year-old snow lotus."

Wei He said: "If we want to get the snow lotus, we must kill the bear first."

"Yes."

Lu Fan nodded and asked, "With the strength of the eldest brother, it should be no problem to deal with sixth-order spirit beasts, right?"

"I really haven't fought against a sixth-order spirit beast before."

Wei He thought for a while and said, "But it's not a big problem. Fortunately, it's not a seventh-level monster. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to deal with it."

"It doesn't matter even if it's a seventh-level spiritual beast."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "As long as we lure it away, we can still get the snow lotus."

"Yes, this is the benefit of having more people."

Wei He instructed: "But you have to be careful. With your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop even a single move from the Ice Demon Bear. You'll be watching the battle here in a while, so don't get too close."

"Don't worry, I won't be brave."

Lu Fan knew his strength, and with Wei He around, he didn't need to take risks.

It's better to take the opportunity of watching the battle to understand the moves of the strong in the heaven and man realm, so as to improve their own strength.

"Then I'm over."

Before Wei He finished speaking, the person had disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared on top of the Ice Demon Bear and swung out a punch.

The Ice Demon Bear woke up suddenly, roared, and clouds of ice mist drifted out.

At the same time, it raised its two giant palms high and slapped Wei Crane in the air.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, there was a sudden gust of wind, and countless ice and snow flew into the sky, turning into flying snow all over the sky, falling down one after another.

The Ice Demon Bear was punched into the thick snow, and countless blizzards were splashed.

Under the pain, it groaned, turned and ran away.

But Wei He appeared above its head in an instant, and threw out another punch.

The Ice Demon Bear had no choice but to respond passively.

"boom!"

Another bang.

The Ice Demon Bear was hammered to the ground fiercely, and its body rolled continuously.

The mountains shook suddenly, and the snow fell even more urgently.

Seeing this, Lu Fan was completely relieved.

The Ice Demon Bear was no match for Wei He at all, and it was far from it.

There is no fighting back.

The grade gap is indeed insurmountable.

Especially spirit beasts who don't know how to cultivate, they just rely on their strong blood and talent.

Unlike Wei He, who started training as a mortal, went through countless battles, and reached the present step by step.

Those former temperings have become a boost for Wei He on his way of cultivation, allowing him to constantly break through himself.

So is Lu Fan.

Body-training people like the two, who have also experienced fighting on the battlefield, have an advantage when facing opponents of the same level.

Let alone facing low-level opponents.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Wei He punched the ice demon bear on the ground, screaming in pain.

The voice was full of fear and despair.

It tried to escape several times, but Wei He caught up to it in an instant, and it was easily forced back with just one punch.

Gradually, it had many injuries on its body, and all of them were internal injuries.

This affects its strength and actions even more.

"boom!"

Wei He hit the head of the Ice Demon Bear with a punch, and that mountain-like body crashed down.

not moving at all.

"All right."

Wei He fell from the sky, came to the Ice Demon Bear, quickly took out a Beast Pill, and held it in his hand.

Lu Fan ran over and saw an extra blue beast pill in Wei He's hand, which was crystal clear and exuded a faint light.

The bone-piercing chill, even though it was far away, could be clearly felt.

Tier [-] Beast Pill!

Contains powerful power and ice attributes.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, it is an extremely rare treasure.

"I'm going to pick the snow lotus."

Lu Fan jumped up, flew to the top of the cliff in an instant, took down the snow lotus plant, and held it in his hand.

A faint fragrance, tangy to the nostrils.

Not only does it smell good, but it's also very refreshing.

Lu Fan jumped from the top of the cliff, came to Wei He, and handed out the snow lotus, "Here."

At this time, Wei He had already put away the beast pill, and put the body of the ice demon bear into the storage ring.

"Ah."

Wei He took the snow lotus, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "It really is a thousand-year-old snow lotus, that's great!"

"Going out this time is really rewarding."

"Thank you for coming out with me, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be here."

"It's all your luck."

Wei He smiled and said: "With this thousand-year-old snow lotus and the sixth-level beast elixir, there might be a chance to exchange for a middle-grade immortal-level technique."

"Big brother."

Lu Fan was a little curious, "Compared with the sixth-order beast pill or the thousand-year-old snow lotus, which one is more valuable?"

"Look at the demand."

Wei He thought for a while and said, "But generally speaking, the thousand-year-old snow lotus is more valuable. After all, it is a high-grade spiritual grass, and the sixth-level beast pill can only be regarded as a middle-rank beast pill."

"Of course, the sixth-order beast pill is also a treasure. Even if it's not as good as the thousand-year-old snow lotus, it's not too far behind."

"For people with certain special needs, maybe its value will be greater."

"After all, high-level beast pills are too rare. Beast pills like the Ice Demon Bear's are the top intermediate beast pills, and there are too many people who need them."

Speaking of this, Wei He smiled, "So, next time I go out, I plan to find an auction house and auction the beast elixir and the Millennium Snow Lotus together to maximize their value."

"good idea."

After thinking about it, Lu Fan understood that the so-called high-level spirit beasts were spirit beasts above the seventh rank.

Super strength.

Even a strong man like Wei He may not be an opponent.

Not to mention others.

It is too difficult to hunt high-level spirit beasts and obtain high-level beast pills.

If you don't do it well, you will die.

This makes high-level beast pills extremely scarce.

Correspondingly, as the best Ice Demon Bear Beast Pill among the middle-level Beast Pills, it also has extremely high value.

If you use it for auction, there will definitely be many people vying for it.

Maybe there will be various forces involved.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan was a little worried, "Brother, the auction is good, it won't be dangerous, right?"

"fine."

Wei He smiled, "I have a big business that I am familiar with, and I often auction there. There has never been a problem, and there will definitely be no problem this time."

"Ok."

Seeing that Wei He was confident, Lu Fan felt a little relieved, but he asked one more question, "Where is that auction house? What's its name?"

"It's called Longyuan Trading Company."

As Wei He spoke, he put away the Millennium Snow Lotus, "It's in Longyuan City to the south, about a few hundred miles away from here, and it was named because it's close to Longlin Abyss."

"Oh."

Lu Fan nodded, remembering the name.

"Let's go back quickly."

Wei He glanced around and said, "There was a lot of movement just now. If there are people around here, maybe they will rush over to see what's going on. Maybe there will be high-level spirit beasts coming over."

"it is good."

The two stopped talking, and quickly descended the mountain.

After climbing over a dozen mountains in a row, they returned to the valley where the two lived.

"What's good for lunch?"

Wei He was in trouble for the first time.

The skylark is delicious, and the ice demon bear is great.

What's more, he has never eaten an ice demon bear, and wants to try something new.

After struggling for a while, he made a choice, "Let's eat the skylark first, the Ice Demon Bear is too big, and it won't be able to clean up in a while."

"Listen to you."

Lu Fan naturally had no objection.

For him, eating early and late is the same, anyway, he can finish eating sooner or later.

"Then I'm going to cook."

Wei He laughed and said, "Let's have a few drinks at noon."

"no problem."

Just as Lu Fan had this intention, he also laughed, "It's time to celebrate."

"Go and practice."

Wei He turned and left, "I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"Then I'll go."

Lu Fan came to the place where he usually practiced, and continued to practice the Nine Heavens Art.

After a long time, the aroma of the food wafted in the wind.

Let Lu Fan move his index finger.

Before Wei He could call him, he stopped practicing and walked towards the cave.

Entering the cave, the aroma is even stronger.

"You came just in time."

Wei He smiled and said: "The meal is ready, you pour the wine first and get ready, I'll serve it right away."

"It's delicious."

Lu Fan went to pour the wine as he said, and when he passed by Wei He, he glanced at the big iron pot.

I saw that the pot was full of meat stewed, and some wild vegetables were mixed in it.

"This is the wild mushroom I usually pick, and it's perfect for stewing skylark."

As Wei He was talking, he brought a big pot, filled it full of meat, and brought it to the table.

There was more than half left in the pot.

"Let's eat this pot first, and fill it up after we finish."

"Okay."

Lu Fan filled two glasses of wine, and then filled two bowls of rice.

"Come on, let's have a drink."

Wei He picked up his wine glass and waved his hand at Lu Fan, "Cheers!"

"cheers!"

After clinking glasses, the two drank the wine in the glass.

"Try it quickly."

"it is good."

Lu Fan picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

The delicious taste fills the mouth.

It also has a slight meaty aroma.

The meat was very tender and had an excellent taste.

Another bite of wild mushrooms tastes even more delicious.

"Really delicious."

Lu Fan couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

Wei He smiled and said, "Eat more if it tastes good."

"When have I ever been polite?"

Lu Fan was in a great mood and joked, "It's not like you don't know, I can eat more than you."

"Haha."

Wei He laughed out loud, his expression extremely cheerful.

He smiled for a while and said, "I want to go out in a few days. If you need anything, I'll bring it back for you."
