The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 14: Northeast, the more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes

"Wang Zhenqiu, are you still fooling me? Can this be a pill?" Qin Ye grabbed Wang Zhenqiu's collar and raised his fist to hit him.

"Hey, wait a minute." Facing Qin Ye's questioning, Wang Zhenqiu felt a little aggrieved. This time he really was not fooling around.

Alas~ What about the trust between people?
"Oh, why don't you believe it? If it weren't for the perfect cooperation between us before, I would be reluctant to take it out."

"Then eat one and let me see."

"Just eat."

Wang Zhenqiu didn't hesitate to say that. He split the mud pill in half and put one half into his mouth. He chewed it twice and swallowed it. He smacked his lips and said "Hmm~". "It tastes great."

Qin Ye looked at Wang Zhenqiu suspiciously, thinking to himself, you really eat it.

He re-examined the 'pill'. It was a little ugly, but it had no strange smell. Instead, it had a faint fragrance surrounding it.

There was no reason for Wang Zhenqiu to harm himself with poison, and this was at the gate of Tang Sect. Qin Ye gritted his teeth, took the remaining mud pill and threw it into his mouth.

He swallowed it without chewing.

The moment the pill entered his body, Qin Ye could clearly feel the medicinal power dissolving in his body, and his life span was improved a little bit imperceptibly.

But what shocked him the most was that he actually obtained the essence of life.

[Life Essence +0.5]

Qin Ye's pupils contracted in shock. 0.5 of the Essence of Life Source was equivalent to two or three lives of lower-level innate Qi. This was not a complete pill. If it was a complete pill, how much would it increase?
If this could be refined in batches, I would be on the rise!

Thinking of this, he felt numb all over.

Qin Ye took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement:

"Where did you get this pill?"

Looking at Qin Ye's appearance, Wang Zhenqiu knew that he had sensed the improvement in his life force, and he said proudly:
"Hey, your life has been improved? I'm not kidding you, don't worry about where it comes from, just follow Master Qiu and I guarantee you'll have something to eat."

"Give me the recipe, and I'll go with you to the Northeast." Qin Ye said bluntly.

"Can I just give it to you? If it were you, would you give it to me?" Wang Zhenqiu said, then changed the subject: "But if our trip goes well, it's not that we can't share. After all, we are partners."

Qin Ye remained silent. Indeed, if the recipe was his own, he would never share it with others easily.

But he had to decide on the recipe. If Wang Zhenqiu didn't give it to him, he would have to fight to the death.

"It's the same question again. If you have the recipe, why don't you go there yourself?"

Wang Zhen said, "Sharing the risk, you know."

Qin Ye nodded, then paused. He realized that he had pathetically accepted this ridiculous excuse.
Two days later, at the foot of Changbai Mountain, Baihe Town.

Two young men dressed as hikers were walking on the street. They were Qin Ye and Wang Zhenqiu who came to look for herbs.

At this time, Wang Zhenqiu was chattering to Qin Ye about the local precautions.

"Old Qin, let me tell you, there are two things you shouldn't mess with here: the family immortals and the horses."

"Let's talk about the family fairies first. Hu Huang Bai Liu Hui, you know what they are, but they're animals that have transformed into spirits, like foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and so on. These things have a strong sense of revenge. If you mess with them, they're like dog-skin plasters, you can't get rid of them."

Hearing this, Qin Ye glanced at him and said lightly:
"I think you are just provoking them now."

"Eh? Stop it." Wang Zhenqiu swallowed his saliva. "Don't interrupt me. I'm talking about the "chuma" again. They are people whose ancestors have signed contracts with the immortals. They can use the power of the immortals. They are pure local tyrants. They are much more aggressive than the Tang Sect. The company won't mess with them easily."

"You know it so clearly. Have you been here?" Qin Ye asked.

"Hey, don't mention it."

Wang Zhenqiu pursed his lips. Just as he was about to recount his tragic experience, a commotion caught their attention. A group of people were beating drums and gongs, as if it were a festival, chanting things like, "Old Deng's eldest son has established his family!"

"Look, this is the status of Chu Ma in this place. He doesn't do things behind the backs of ordinary people."

What Wang Zhenqiu said was actually not accurate. It was not that they did not carry ordinary people on their backs, but that over the past few hundred years, the spirit mediums had already integrated with the local people.

Even some children from ordinary families would be sent by their parents to worship in the hall, but only those with connections could get in.

The spirit horses are different from other extraordinary people. Not only can they fight like extraordinary people, but they can also cure diseases, eliminate disasters, and ward off evil spirits. If a local family has a disease or a disaster, the first thing they do is not to see a doctor, but to find a spirit horse for help. This has become a folk custom.

Therefore, the Chu Ma Xian has a high prestige in the local area.

Qin Ye and the other man had no intention of joining in the fun. They sped up their pace and headed straight for Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain, a mountain thousands of meters above sea level, is sparkling, and the lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the sky upside down.

It is hard to imagine that there is a large lake on such a high mountain.

This is the most beautiful view of Changbai Mountain - Tianchi.

At this time, in Tianchi Lake, a huge creature was swimming in the lake. Looking down, a clear and terrifying black shadow stretched across the lake, conservatively estimated to be about a hundred meters long.

As the creature rolled over, a huge wave was rolled up on the surface of the lake, and the creature's appearance could be vaguely seen.

It was a giant snow-white snake. Under the sunlight, its metallic scales shone brightly.

At the foot of Tianchi Mountain.

Qin Ye and Wang Zhenqiu had just arrived here. Looking up at the towering mountain, Qin Ye said:

"Are you sure the main herb is on this mountain?"

"Sure, this mountain is the Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain, and the herbs grow in the Tianchi Lake." Wang Zhenqiu replied.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go up the mountain."

After saying that, the two of them climbed up the mountain together.

The mountain road is steep, even at a 90-degree angle in some places, but for strangers, it is not much different from flat ground.

But the higher he went, the more cautious Wang Zhenqiu's expression became. He always looked carefully above his head and around him, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out.

Qin Ye also noticed something unusual about Wang Zhenqiu. Combined with his bad character, he guessed that this guy was definitely hiding something from him.

He immediately stopped and looked at the other person very seriously:

"Wang Zhenqiu, are you hiding something from me?"

"Ah?" Wang Zhenqiu was stunned at first, then under the pressure of Qin Ye's gaze, he said awkwardly: "It's nothing, it's just that there might be an elf guarding the herbs."

"Elf?" Qin Ye thought for a moment and said, "You mean the family fairy, right?"

Animals that have cultivated into spirits are called elves, and most of those that can cultivate into spirits in the Northeast are fairies from the Five Veins family.

"Yes, a little snake from the Liu family." Wang Zhenqiu nodded repeatedly.

"Can you be so scared of a little snake?" Qin Ye was skeptical.

"Well, no matter what, she's still a fairy." Wang Zhenqiu said, "And it's not easy to move. If you move, she'll come out and cause trouble for us."

Qin Ye was skeptical. He had never seen an animal that had cultivated into a spirit. But after thinking about it, a snake that had become a spirit was still a snake. No matter how powerful it was, how could it be able to cultivate into a spirit like Bai Suzhen?

Then the two of them climbed the mountain again without saying a word.
