Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Three days later, somewhere outside the sea of ​​fog.

On a felled tree, Medicine Lady looked through her medicine basket and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth this time! It's only been a few days, and we've already collected a lot of magical herbs!"

"We are indeed very lucky. Let's go further inside and maybe there will be more surprises." Chen Tianhuo said as he arranged several pieces of wood into the shape of a fire.

"Still going inside?" Yao Gu was quite surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you trying to find the Demon Emperor's treasure? That is not something we can get our hands on."

Chen Tianhuo's face froze, and he said, "The treasure belongs to those who are destined to get it. If we come across it, we can't just turn a blind eye to it. Let's take a detour!"

"That's true!" Yao Gu smiled.

While the two were chatting, Qiu Yong had already chopped the last wooden stake. He picked up the firewood and put it on the fire, saying, "Chen Daoyou, please!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Qiu!" Along the way, Chen Tianhuo had already discovered that Qiu Yong was a man of few words. The total number of words he said was no more than five. However, the other party worked very efficiently, so there was nothing much to say.

Chen Tianhuo pulled out a talisman from his pocket, pierced it with the ebony sword, and silently recited the spell.

After a moment, the entire talisman began to burn, emitting scorching flames.

Chen Tianhuo held the wooden sword flat, aimed the flame at the firewood, took a deep breath, and blew it out suddenly.

The flame seemed to have a spirit and turned into a fire snake, burning towards the pile of firewood. With a crackling sound, it took a while before the pile of firewood was completely ignited.

Chen Tianhuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really troublesome. I have to cast a spell every time!"

"Ordinary fire is useless. If it weren't for your profound magical powers, we would never have been able to get here." Medicine Aunt praised.

"It's also thanks to Brother Qiu. He dealt with all the monsters along the way." Chen Tianhuo sat down on a big tree.

Qiu Yong didn't say anything, but with a smile on his face, he walked silently to a tree as thick as a bowl and started chopping with his knife again.

He swung the knife several times, and just as he raised the new knife above his head, he suddenly felt something shaking his eyes.

But when he looked closely, he found nothing.

“Did I see it wrong?” Qiu Yong shook his head and raised his knife to chop the tree again.

However, just as he swung the fourth knife, he felt something dazzling his eyes again.

This time, Qiu Yong no longer had any doubts. He stared at the place where the flash had just occurred and waited patiently.

About five or six breaths later, a blue light flashed again, seemingly not far ahead.

"Ah Jing, there seems to be something strange ahead!"

Chen Tianhuo and Yao Gu were originally sitting in front of the fire to rest, but they stood up suddenly after hearing this. Qiu Yong rarely speaks, but he said nine words at once, which must be a big deal.

"What's so strange?" Chen Tian rushed to Qiu Yong with an ebony sword in his hand.

As for Yao Gu, she looked around vigilantly and slowly retreated behind the two of them.

She was not good at fighting, so this was a formation that the others had rehearsed long ago.

Qiu Yong stared at the direction of the flash and said, "Every five breaths, there will be a flash of blue light."

"One, two, three..." Chen Tianhuo counted his breaths, and saw a blue light flash twice.

"Could it be the climbing vine?" Chen Tianhuo's breathing became rapid and his heart was pounding.

But he was not sure, so he took a deep breath and shouted, "I am Chen Tianhuo from Qingyun Temple. Do you dare to tell me your name, fellow Taoist?"

Seeing this, Qiu Yong also raised his breath and shouted, "Which Taoist friend is this in front? Do you dare to come out for a while?"

The two of them shouted, but their calls fell on deaf ears and there was no response for a long time.

Seeing that there was no danger, Yao Gu turned around to observe. When she saw the blue light, she frowned and said, "Could it be the legendary thing?"

"Brother said that it is in my destiny. It seems that it is true that I can climb the vine to the sky. There is hope for the revival of Qingyun Temple!" Chen Tianhuo's heartbeat quickened. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yao Gu continue:

"In the sea of ​​fog, the maximum you can see is only fifteen steps away. This is an iron rule, but there is an exception to this rule, which is a precious medicine called Night-shining Grass."

"This grass is a wonder born from heaven and earth. It likes to grow in a dark and humid environment. When it matures, it will sparkle at night, and its light will shine far away."

"Oh, right, Yemingcao is one of the main ingredients for refining Qingling Pill, and Qingling Pill can help cultivators overcome the wind disaster."

Medicine Aunt explained, but Chen Tianhuo's face was filled with disappointment. It was only when he heard that it was a precious medicine that could help him overcome the wind disaster that his wounded heart finally found some comfort.

He pointed the ebony sword over the heads of the three people and said, "In that case, let's set out at night. What do you think?"

Medicine Lady frowned and said, "Any precious medicine must be guarded by a monster. Moreover, at night, monsters are rampant in the sea of ​​fog. It must be extremely dangerous to go there."

"Also, I'm not 100% sure. If it's not the night-shining grass, then we'll lose more than we gain."

Hearing the word "what if", the flame that had just been extinguished in Chen Tianhuo's heart jumped up again. He looked at the two of them and urged:

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If it is really the night-shining grass, the three of us will have the capital to break through the foundation. Let's be careful. If we find something wrong, we should just retreat. We can't just retreat without even trying."

"The dampness is strong at night. How long can your ebony sword last?" Qiu Yong suddenly asked.

"This..." Chen Tianhuo fell silent.

Lighting the fire at night would consume a lot of his energy, and if the journey was a little far, they would never return.

He looked frustrated and shook his head, saying, "It's because I didn't think it through. I have to give up on this matter!"

Qiu Yong and his wife looked at each other and returned to the campfire together.

Chen Tianhuo sat cross-legged in front of the campfire, seemingly trying to meditate, but his eyes were staring straight at the flames, his mind unable to calm down.

After a while, he suddenly said, "We can see the light, so the precious medicine can't be far away. The dampness is heavier at night, but why don't we move the fire slowly? We can get there in one night."

Medicine Aunt frowned and said, "We can give it a try, but I'm afraid..."

"There's no need to be afraid of so many things. If I were afraid, why would I come to the sea of ​​fog?" Chen Tianhuo picked up the ebony sword and walked straight to the trees he had chopped down before.

Seeing this, Qiu Yong looked at Yao Gu with questioning eyes.

Yao Gu shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

The three of them moved quickly, and in just two quarters of an hour they had built a new fire fifteen steps away.

The moment the fire lit up, Chen Tianhuo was filled with excitement and said, "My two Taoist friends, let's work harder. With such an opportunity, we must not let the treasure slip away!"
