The quality of foundation-building elixirs also has different levels. Generally speaking, only some top-grade or top-grade foundation-building elixirs are guarded by vicious beasts.

Ferocious beasts that are below the late stage of foundation building generally do not have enough intelligence to wait for the elixir to fully mature. Once encountered, they will swallow it directly without giving it a chance to grow to a higher level.

As for the pill-forming elixir, even if it is low-grade, it will be competed by at least several pill-forming ferocious beasts.

Once a ferocious beast obtains this elixir, it will carefully guard it, or wait until it is fully mature before eating it, or wait until its level is upgraded before eating it. In short, they will maximize the effect of the elixir.

Zheng Junhao naturally didn't know these things before. He only found out about them when he was chatting with Lu Yaxi on the road.

"All the elixirs around here have been collected. Someone must have come to sweep this area before us."

"It doesn't matter. Judging from the map, pill-level elixirs do not grow in this area. Most of the elixirs grown in this area are elixirs that are not guarded by ferocious beasts. It doesn't matter if someone gets there first."

Zheng Junhao compared the locations on the map and came to the above conclusion.

After hearing this, Lu Yaxi leaned over and looked at the still fresh remaining leaves of the elixir in front of him. He frowned slightly and said: "These elixirs all have rhizomes, but the main part has been harvested. From this point of view, the harvesting The person who made the medicine should be very professional, and the techniques used to collect the elixirs we saw earlier were consistent with this. Therefore, the people who collected these elixirs should be the same group of people.

Moreover, these remaining leaves are still very fresh and should have just been picked."

"The same group of people? Does Shangqing also have a special herb collection team?"

"That should be the case, but it's not necessarily sent by the Shangqing."

Lu Yaxi nodded and continued: "These herb collection teams will definitely first search for elixirs that can be easily picked, that is, elixirs below the top grade of foundation building. But now these elixirs have been exhausted. If they If you want to search for higher-level elixirs, you should go ahead of us now."

"What we want is pill-forming elixirs. Seeing as all the elixirs they have taken are foundation-level elixirs, they must not be very powerful, so they won't be able to get there first." Zheng Junhao said because he didn't understand these things. Very optimistic.

But Lu Yaxi cannot be as optimistic as Zheng Junhao. First of all, they have more than sixty inner elixirs. If they want to neutralize their turbidity and hostility, they need at least ten low-grade elixirs of Jiedan. If converted into low-grade foundation-building elixirs, For elixir, at least fifty plants are needed.

Nowadays, the foundation-building elixir is naturally gone, but the pill-forming elixir in the mountains behind Wuliang Mountain is already scarce. Even if those people leave the spiritual roots after picking them, it will be extremely slow to grow them back into the pill-forming elixir. .

It is really not easy to find ten elixirs for forming elixirs.

Therefore, after Lu Yaxi told Zheng Junhao this, the originally optimistic Zheng Junhao stopped laughing immediately.

Isn’t this annoying? It’s so difficult to collect some medicine? I finally tricked so many inner elixirs, and then I went to get the identity of a nominal disciple of the inner sect, but in the end I couldn’t collect the medicine?!

"Wuliangshan is too poor!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zheng Junhao couldn't help but kick a small tree nearby.

The force was so strong that it broke the small tree into two pieces.

The upper part was even kicked away and hit the rock wall on the side, making a loud noise.

In fact, Zheng Junhao misunderstood Wuliangshan.

There are far fewer elixirs at the pill-forming level than the evil beasts at the core-forming stage, and usually if someone gets the inner elixir of a pill-forming beast, most of them will take it directly, or take half a foundation-level elixir as a supplement.

But Zheng Junhao had too many inner elixirs. The turbid and violent energy of the more than sixty evil beast inner elixirs complemented each other and were superimposed on each other, making it very difficult to eliminate.

Even when Lu Yaxi said that he could be purified with ten pill-forming elixirs, he still considered his own cultivation and alchemy techniques.

With her cultivation and alchemy techniques, she can improve the quality of the elixir by [-]%. If there is a good medicine cauldron, the quality of the elixir can be even higher.

"somebody is coming!"

Suddenly, Lu Yaxi, who was walking beside Zheng Junhao, spoke decisively, then turned sharply back and looked at the few extra people behind them.

There were men and women among those people, and the leader was a sturdy man, more than seven feet tall, with well-developed muscles all over his body, like a little giant.

There were several claw marks of ferocious beasts on the big man's face. The claw marks were so deep that they were almost touching the bones. They looked extremely majestic.

His arms should be as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and he is holding a Yanyue knife, which is extremely majestic.

Next to the big man, there is a woman in red.

This girl looks very charming and enchanting, with fair skin and no scars anywhere. Standing next to the big man, she looks extremely petite.

If you observe carefully, you can even find that his thighs are not even as thick as the man's arms.

"May I ask why my friends are following me?"

Lu Yaxi asked warily.

In the deep mountains and wild mountains, being followed by several people, even Zheng Junhao didn't believe that there was nothing wrong.

"We are herb collectors at the foot of Wuliang Mountain. We specialize in collecting herbs for a living. After collecting the elixir, we can sell it to the auction house or the Shangqing Sect to earn our daily necessities.

We have already collected elixirs that were not protected by ferocious beasts before, and now we want to collect some higher-level elixirs, but the manpower is slightly insufficient. If the two Taoists can help us collect some elixirs of the pill-forming level, How about we share two of your elixirs?"

The woman in red spoke very sincerely, and her tone did not sound like she was lying, but it was impossible for Lu Yaxi to let down her guard.

According to what they said, those foundation-building elixirs were collected by them earlier, and those elixirs were indeed just collected, so they should not be lying about this.

But the lies that are most likely to deceive people are those that are mixed with the truth.

"Then why are you behind us? Is it a coincidence?"

Lu Yaxi caught a doubt and asked coldly.

"I heard a loud noise coming from here before, so I came over to take a look at the situation, and then I found two Taoist friends." The woman in red said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Yaxi turned his head and stared at Zheng Junhao, his eyes full of helplessness. Zheng Junhao was humming a tune at the moment, pretending not to see Lu Yaxi's eyes, and looked to the other side.

There is no doubt that the loud noise they mentioned was caused by Zheng Junhao kicking the tree.

"Generally, only elixirs of the highest level for foundation building will be guarded by ferocious beasts. We are only in the Qi training period. We are just traveling in the mountains this time and have no intention of collecting high-level elixirs. We will say goodbye."

Lu Yaxi refused simply. After saying this, he turned around and left.

When the other woman in red saw that he had decided to leave, she did not say anything to persuade him to stay. She just reminded: "The deeper you go, the higher the cultivation level of the ferocious beasts, and at night, the ferocious beasts that lie dormant during the day and emerge at night will They will go out to move around and look for food. Since the two Taoist friends are out to travel, they should not go any further. Keeping their own safety is the most important thing."

"Thank you for your kindness, girl. We can make arrangements freely."

Without even looking back, Zheng Junhao and Lu Yaxi walked straight forward, gradually disappearing from the sight of the group of people, and entered the depths of Wuliang Mountain where the vicious beasts of the Core Formation were infested.
