Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 61: Snake Fruit Harvest
The Tiger Walking Post was extremely powerful. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yue was exhausted. He held on for another quarter of an hour before he could no longer hold on and went into the wooden barrel to recover.

The violent power of the medicine entered Jiang Yue's body through his pores, traveled through his body, and caused extremely intense pain.

Jiang Yue gritted his teeth and persevered. His flesh and blood recovered quickly and became stronger.

About an hour later, the medicinal power in the wooden barrel had been completely absorbed by Jiang Yue, and it became turbid and had a faint foul smell.

"call--"

Jiang Yue got up from the bucket and felt that his flesh and blood had fully recovered. He practiced the Tiger Walking Posture again until he reached his limit, and then soaked in a medicinal bath to recover.

Limit, recovery, improvement.

In the trilogy, Jiang Yue's flesh and blood were reorganized time and time again, becoming even more powerful.

It took Jiang Yue two full hours to use up both buckets of medicinal bath. He put on his clothes, poured out the dirty water, and felt his own strength.

"Ten more times, and it will be about 10% higher."

Jiang Yue's eyes lit up.

The improvement brought by the medicinal bath was greater than he had imagined.

He has now refined 60% of his flesh. If he can improve by 10% in ten times, he will be able to fully refine his flesh and blood in another month.

"It seems that the importance of resources is far beyond my imagination. The recovery steps must be done well."

Jiang Yue deduced through time that it would take three years to improve by 10% by just eating rice porridge and pickled meat, and it would take thirty years to refine the meat to 100%!

But if there is a medicinal bath, the improvement can be 10% in ten days, and the flesh can be refined to 100% in three months.

The gap between them is really too big.

Jiang Yue's medicinal bath is the best for nourishing blood and flesh. A bucket of medicinal bath is worth about one or two taels of silver. That is to say, those children of wealthy families who practice martial arts need at least one or two taels of silver worth of medicine every day.

This kind of expenditure is a bit too high.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue makes his living from the mountains, so he can hunt things from the mountains, and he can also deduce the breeding methods himself, so everything is zero cost.

"Let's go Xiaotian, let's go explore."

Jiang Yue called out, and Xiaotian, who was lying on the ground, immediately stood up, his eyes full of excitement.

A man and a dog walked out of the Stinky Vine Cave and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Snakes Valley.

After walking for more than twenty miles of mountain roads, Jiang Yue finally arrived at the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

It was already winter, and the trees around the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes were not evergreen. The leaves had already fallen, leaving the tree dry.

Jiang Yue stood in the bare woods, looking at the Ten Thousand Snake Valley below.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is a small basin surrounded by towering cliffs. There is a lot of vegetation and a large number of poisonous snakes in the basin below.

But now the trees in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes are all bare.

The snakes had also disappeared, with only a few still active.

The terrifying giant python on the cliff disappeared without a trace, leaving only the snake fruit plants swaying in the cold wind.

Jiang Yue was stunned at first, then he slapped Xiaotian's head hard, which met Xiaotian's confused look.

"Yeah! Snakes hibernate in the winter!"

"No wonder the Wang family seldom go into the mountains. The family members even work as servants in the Lin Mansion, yet they live well every year. It turns out that they just wait for the snakes to hibernate and come here to pick snake fruits!"

Jiang Yue suddenly realized, but then he became confused. He didn't know why the Wang family had so many snake fruits but didn't pick them, but instead forced Wang Wumei to death.

In fact, the Wang family has a specific day to go into the mountains in winter. At that time, they can ensure that all snakes are hibernating, and they can pick snake fruits safely.

Counting the days, it's almost today.

As for the matter of Wang Wumei, because Wang Wumei is an orphan and has no productive ability, she is just a freeloader, and no one in the Wang family likes her.

"Forget it."

Jiang Yue shook his head, opened the sack in his hand, and gave all the pheasants inside to Xiaotian: "Eat, eat more, I'll go pick some snake fruits."

"Wang-"

When Xiaotian saw the food, he came to his senses and started to show off his food, causing chicken feathers to fly.

Jiang Yue walked down from the small foothold on the cliff, carrying a sack of red apples.

He has the magical power of holding treasure and leading sheep, and he can walk on dangerous areas in mountains and forests as if he were walking on flat ground. Just like now, even when he is walking on a steep cliff, Jiang Yue still has a steady body, with no intention of falling down, and even looks a little relaxed.

【Time + 1 years】

【Time + 1 years】

【.】

【Time: 20 years】

There are thirteen snake apples in total, and thirteen years in total.

"Twenty years have passed!" Jiang Yue was a little excited. This was the first time he had accumulated so much time.

It’s been a full twenty years. How many twenty years can we have in our life?

In the past twenty years, I have been able to learn a trick in anything I put my effort into. Even if I put my effort into something as difficult as martial arts, I can achieve tremendous improvement!

In addition, there is another thing that makes Jiang Yue happy.

Those are the snake fruits. Their medicinal effect is to strengthen the skin membrane. He doesn't need them, so he can feed them all to Xiaotian. It is estimated that this will be another considerable income from the essence of life!

"Xiaotian, do you want to eat snake fruit?"

Jiang Yue climbed up the cliff again and shook the snake fruit in his hand at Xiaotian.

Xiaotian, with his mouth full of chicken feathers, was stunned and spit out the pheasant in his mouth. He came to Jiang Yue wagging his tail with a flattering look on his face.

"Give."

Jiang Yue threw the snake fruit over. Xiaotian opened his mouth wide, caught it in one bite, and swallowed it in no time.

[Life Essence +2]

[Life Essence: 24]

The prompt appeared in Jiang Yue's field of vision.

One snake fruit increases two points of life essence, and he still has twelve snake fruits in his hand.

Jiang Yue simply fed it all to Xiaotian.

Xiaotian's dog's face was full of joy. He chewed the fruit and swallowed it like a human.

[Life Essence +2]

[Life Essence +2]

【.】

[Life Essence: 48]

By the time Xiaotian had eaten all the snake fruits, the life essence in his panel reached 48 points.

"call"

"The snake fruit from the Ten Thousand Snake Valley is really an unexpected harvest. It almost makes up half of my life essence!"

Jiang Yue was in a good mood and signaled Xiaotian to continue eating pheasant.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian shook his head, indicating that he was full.

Jiang Yue probably thought that the snake fruit contained too much energy. He would not be able to bear eating more than a dozen in one breath.

"Let's go to the broad-leaved plains and take a walk to digest the food."

Jiang Yue put the pheasants that were not eaten by Xiaotian into an animal skin bag and headed towards the Broadleaf Plain.

Xiaotian followed Jiang Yue's steps closely, his nostrils twitching constantly.

Broadleaf Plain, Stinky Vine Cave, and Ten Thousand Snake Valley are three different places. Jiang Yue just came out of the Stinky Vine Cave and came to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley via Wang Family Ancestral Road. Now he is going from the Ten Thousand Snake Valley to the Broadleaf Plain, walking through a forest that has never been explored.

After walking about ten miles along the mountain road, Xiaotian suddenly let out a loud bark.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian's nostrils twitched and he looked around. Finally, he decided on a direction and motioned Jiang Yue to follow.

"You smelled the precious medicine again?! Xiaotian, you are such a lucky star! All the food you ate was not in vain!"

Jiang Yue excitedly followed Xiaotian, going around in circles, passing through the forests, climbing over a mountain, and finally stopping in front of an abandoned Taoist temple.

Deep in the mountains and forests, an abandoned Taoist temple stands desolately.

The vermilion lacquered door is mottled, and the rusty door knocker seems to tell the vicissitudes of time.

The courtyard wall was dilapidated and weeds were overgrown in the yard.

Several buildings have collapsed, cobwebs are everywhere in the corners, and the statues on the shrines are badly damaged.

The road leading to the Taoist temple is overgrown with weeds and needs to be cleared with a hatchet. It is estimated that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

In an abandoned Taoist temple, there is a tattered whisk. The wood on the handle of the whisk has rotted and a pure white fungus has grown on it.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian barked as a signal.

The precious medicine is that white fungus!
