Chapter 52 Elder Shen’s Warning
Song Wen's Cave Mansion.
Sitting cross-legged, Song Wen took out the jade slip given by Chen Yi and looked at it carefully.
The content of the jade slip is divided into two parts. The first part is about the introduction of the seven-color grass, and the second part is about the Yan family.
The medicinal age of the seven-color grass is less than ten years, and its appearance is no different from ordinary weeds. The whole plant is green and its spiritual energy is very weak.
But when the medicinal age reaches ten years, the leaves of the seven-color grass will grow a circle of orange.
Every ten years thereafter, there will be one more color on the leaves, until the seventieth year, there will be seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
When the medicinal age reaches one hundred years, a circle of black lines will grow on the edge of the leaves of the seven-color grass.
This line is an important sign to judge whether the medicinal age of the seven-color grass has reached one hundred years.
The seven-colored grass, which grows in seven colors, can be used to refine the Xuanqi Pill, which is a pill taken by cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to increase their spiritual energy. It is somewhat similar to the Qi Ju Dan that Song Wen is taking now, but the spiritual energy it contains is much richer.
The hundred-year-old seven-colored grass is one of the spiritual medicines for refining the foundation-building pill.
The record about the seven-colored grass on the jade slip is these contents, and the next is the information of the Yan family.
The Yan family is a foundation-building family affiliated with the Corpse Demon Sect. They are stationed in the poisonous miasma swamp all year round. Because the poisonous miasma swamp is shrouded in miasma all year round, and after many years of operation by the Yan family, ordinary cultivators find it difficult to enter it, which makes the small poisonous miasma swamp basically become the private territory of the Yan family.
The old man of the Yan family is a powerful foundation-building cultivator and the only foundation-building cultivator of the Yan family at present. However, he is old and his time is coming, and he has rarely appeared in recent years.
In recent years, no outsiders have seen this person, and there are rumors outside that the old man of the Yan family has died. It's just that the Yan family didn't make it public in order to consolidate the Yan family's position and protect the Yan family's interests.
The Yan family has thirteen cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, among whom Yan Zhengping, the head of the Yan family, is at the peak of Qi training. However, he is over sixty years old, and it is unlikely that he will succeed in building a foundation.
In addition, Yan Zhengping's third brother Yan Gao is a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi training.
Among them, there is another person who caught Song Wen's attention.
Yan Yiwen!
At the age of eighteen, she has successfully broken through to the late stage of Qi training. Such talent is extremely rare even in the Corpse Demon Sect.
...
The next day.
Chen Shi.
The Dan Room is located at the northwest foot of Corpse Demon Mountain. It is said that the Dan Room chose this place because there is a natural fire underground that can help the alchemist refine pills.
As an important place in the Corpse Demon Sect, the Dan Room is heavily guarded, and a large number of disciples can be seen on duty everywhere.
Song Wen arrived outside the Dan Room two quarters of an hour earlier.
However, the alchemy room would not open until Chenshi, so Song Wen, who had arrived early, could only wait outside the door.
It was not until the door of the alchemy room opened that Song Wen entered the door of the alchemy room with the task token.
The alchemy room occupies a huge area, a huge courtyard covering more than 100 acres.
Under the guidance of the guard, Song Wen arrived outside the courtyard of Elder Shen.
However, Elder Shen did not intend to let Song Wen enter the door immediately, so he left Song Wen outside the door. After the guard took Song Wen to the place, he also left.
Song Wen could only wait alone.
A few minutes later, a handsome man, led by the guard, also came to the courtyard.
This man gave Song Wen a sense of openness, which was extremely strange, mainly because this place was the Corpse Demon Sect, a sect of the Demonic Dao.
All the disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect gave people the feeling of being either sinister or arrogant and violent, which was mainly affected by the skills and corpse qi.
This was also the case with Song Wen at this time. He was surrounded by corpse qi and had a sinister aura. He did not look like a kind person at first glance.
However, the man's temperament, coupled with his handsome appearance, gave people a good first impression, especially those female disciples, who were easily attracted to them.
"This junior brother, are you here for the sect's mission in the poisonous miasma swamp?"
The man spoke first and asked Song Wen.
Song Wen nodded and said respectfully.
"Yes, I am Jiyin. May I ask what your name is, senior brother?"
The man's aura was strong. With Song Wen's mental power comparable to the seventh level of Qi training, he could roughly judge that the man's strength should be about the seventh level of Qi training.
It was not difficult for Song Wen to analyze that this man was the person in the late stage of Qi training who was carrying out the mission with him.
In the future, he would have to get along with this person day and night for a long time, and the other party's strength was obviously stronger than his own, so naturally he had to maintain a good relationship.
"So it's Junior Brother Jiyin, you can just call me Senior Brother Guo." Guo Tao said with a smile.
Song Wen clasped his hands and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Guo. I am weak, so please take care of me on this trip."
Guo Tao was quite satisfied with Song Wen's respectful attitude. He nodded and was about to say something when he heard a voice from the courtyard.
"Are you the two Guo Tao and Ji Yin who went to the Yan family to count the seven-colored grass this year?"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a cold expression suddenly appeared in front of the two.
The man was Elder Shen from the Danfang.
Seeing the man, Song Wen and the others immediately turned around and saluted respectfully.
"Disciple Guo Tao (Ji Yin), meet Elder Shen."
"Show me your mission tokens and disciple tokens." Elder Shen said.
Song Wen and Guo Tao handed their tokens to Elder Shen respectively.
Elder Shen took the tokens, checked their identities and mission tokens, and took out two jade slips and handed them to the two respectively.
"This is the main content of your mission. I must remind you again that you must be responsible and serious when checking the seven-color grass, and you must not be careless at all."
"Don't collude with the Yan family to occupy the sect's spiritual herbs. If you find that your inventory is wrong later, you will be skinned and refining your soul into a corpse."
Faced with Elder Shen's warning, Song Wen and Guo Tao immediately promised.
"We will do our best."
Elder Shen nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.
"You should set off as soon as possible,"
After saying that, Elder Shen's figure flew into the air and floated into the courtyard.
Seeing that Elder Shen had left, Song Wen and Guo Tao looked at each other and were about to leave.
Suddenly, the figure of Elder Shen sounded in Song Wen's mind.
"Boy, you must remember that your mission is to monitor Guo Tao. If he has any transgressions, you must report to me in time after the mission. Don't think that this mission is just a formality. If there is any mistake in the mission, I can make you live a life worse than death."
Faced with Elder Shen's sudden warning, Song Wen's face changed slightly, but he immediately pretended that he didn't hear anything.
The words of Elder Shen just now were transmitted by sound, and it was obviously said specifically for him alone.
He couldn't help but be a little stunned. His exposed strength was only the third level of Qi training. How could he monitor Guo Tao who was in the late stage of Qi training.
If he really found that Guo Tao had transgressed, he was afraid that the other party would kill him in return. How could he let himself return to the sect alive and report?
However, it seemed that even Elder Shen didn't discover his hidden strength just now, which was good news.
