The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 51: The Son Chases His Mother on a Dangerous Road

The questions in this martial arts test really made Hui Wu feel a little embarrassed. He usually only focused on martial arts and swordsmanship, but had never read books on medicine or pharmacology.

In fact, he was the luckiest one. Just as Danyang Zhenren said, he fell into a place where jade spirit fruits grew abundantly. But there were not only many jade spirit fruits here, but also many other spiritual plants. In his opinion, the seeds, grasses and leaves of these plants looked exactly the same.

In fact, he is not the only one who feels this way. If it were someone else, they would feel the same way.

Not to mention the quality of the fruit, just the similar broad-leaved spiritual plants gathered together in clusters, making the sight dizzying.

Moreover, the fruits are very similar, except for the size and color.

Not to mention the distant past, even the Xuan Gen Fruit, in terms of habits and appearance, is exactly the same as the Yu Ling Fruit. Unless one has been immersed in medicine for many years, one would definitely confuse the two.

Just when he didn't know how to identify it, he suddenly heard footsteps coming closer and closer behind him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Long Qicheng walking towards him.

Hui Wu thought that meeting Cheng Qi would be a little awkward, but he didn't expect that Cheng Qi would take the initiative to bow to him after seeing him.

After exchanging greetings, the two went their separate ways to pick the Jade Spirit Fruit.

Like Hui Wu, Cheng Yu knew nothing about pharmacology. Seeing these similar fruits, he was a little at a loss. But Long Qi, on the other hand, quickly picked the fruits and put them into his bag.

Cheng Qi and Hui Wu were both surprised, looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Uh...Long Qi, that..."

When Long Qi heard that it was Cheng Qi who was calling him, he seemed to know what he was going to ask, and answered without even raising his head:
"I can't tell these fruits apart, but they are in pairs anyway. I might as well pick a few and take them out. It's better than going home empty-handed."

Hearing him say this, Cheng Yu was surprised: Could it be that he didn't listen to what the two immortals Danyang and Danzhu said before entering the formation?

After listening to what Long Qi said, Hui Wu felt that there was some truth in what he said, so he bent down and started picking the fruits as well.

Cheng Yu was hesitant, not knowing whether to pick it or not, but he heard Long Qi pointing at the spiritual plant in front of him and saying:
"Let me ask you, even if you want to distinguish them now, can you tell them apart?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu squatted down and took a closer look. It was indeed difficult to distinguish them. The many spiritual plants in front of him looked no different from the ones painted on the hanging scroll in the Tonghufeng Hall.

Looking at the spiritual plant in his hand, he shook his head helplessly.

Seeing him like this, Long Qi continued, "Since you can't tell them apart, even if the sky falls, you still won't know which is the Jade Spirit Fruit and which is something else. Instead of standing there doing nothing, you might as well take a gamble and pick all the ones that look similar. Didn't Master Danzhu say before we entered the formation that the final result will be based on the score? In my opinion, the reason why he said this before everyone entered the formation is because the real purpose of this martial arts performance is not to see whether you can distinguish the spiritual plants, but to see whether you can correctly understand the requirements."

After hearing this, Cheng Qi pondered for a moment and felt that this made sense, but why did Long Qi suddenly want to talk to him about this? He hadn't said a word all along the way.

And Long Qi seemed to know what he was thinking, and said in a muffled voice:
"I just can't bear to see you standing there stupidly, blocking the light. Don't take yourself too seriously."

Cheng Yu looked up at the blue sky blocked by the formation and couldn't help laughing: This Long Qi is really hypocritical.

In fact, Long Qi didn't want to do this, but Lingxiang had specifically told him that if he met Cheng Xi, he should not ignore him but should take good care of him.

Besides, Lingxiang had said that day that she only went back to talk to Master Zhaoming because he asked her to do so, and there was really no need for her to care about that matter. But why did she always feel a little depressed in her heart! ?

Just as Long Qi was pinching the spiritual plant in anger, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest. It was the bag where the talisman given by Ling Xiang was placed.

He hurriedly took them out, only to see that one of them was shining with golden light. He pulled it out and looked at it, and felt that it was very familiar. After a moment of thinking, he remembered the time in Cangzhou City - it was the mother-child talisman.

Just as Long Qi was coming out of his thoughts, a glowing yellow talisman suddenly floated out and burned into the forest. He hurriedly followed it in.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Yu immediately put away the bag and chased after him, even though he didn't know what was going on.

When Hui Wu looked up, the two had disappeared. He stood up and looked around in confusion, then remembered what Long Qi had just said, and then squatted down again to pick the spiritual plants.

……

The characters in his hand suddenly glowed with golden light. Liu Xia was wondering why, but then he heard Banxia shout:
"Someone has activated the Mother Talisman!"

Before he finished speaking, the talisman floated out and flew into the forest. Liu Xia hurriedly ran to catch up, but Banxia did not move at all and looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Liu Xia hurriedly called her, but she hesitated for a moment and said:
"The monster is in the forest. If we go in like this, won't we run into it head-on?"

"But you are here alone. Aren't you afraid of encountering some other monsters? They might be more terrifying than the one you saw before."

When Banxia heard Liu Xia say this, she shuddered and thought it made sense, so she hurriedly followed him - at least this man had the talisman given by the powerful man in his hand!
Zhao Wuyang ran closely after Xinyi, but he kept thinking about what he had just seen.

Those characters looked like human beings, but they had inhuman faces. Some had horns on their foreheads, some had sharp teeth, and some even had six arms. They all had terrifying looks.

Those people had murderous gleams in their eyes, and when they saw them they rushed towards them, roaring, as if they wanted to tear them apart. If it weren't for Big Brother Xinyi's quick reaction, and the sudden emergence of many vines to block them, they would have lost their lives there.

Could it be that these are also tests for martial arts performance?

"They are demons, the lowest class of demons." Xinyi seemed to know what he was thinking. As she ran, she explained to him, "Their bodies are mostly formed by the erosion and condensation of miasma. If you are injured by them, you will be poisoned by the miasma. If you are not treated in time, you will become like them."

What? Demons? How could there be demons in Yinyu Peak? Besides, weren't the demons repelled a long time ago?

Zhao Wuyang was just wondering when he heard a sharp roar behind him.

"It seems that those spirits can't stop them." Xinyi said and stopped. Zhao Wuyang didn't have time to stop and bumped into his back, but he didn't move at all.

"Brother Xinyi, why don't you run away?"

Zhao Wuyang was puzzled. He covered his nose and stuck his head out from behind Xinyi, only to see that there were also demon soldiers wandering in front of them. When they heard the noise here, they all turned around and looked at them.
