Chapter 63: The Monkey Catches the Snake, the Origin of Medicine Valley

When leaving Hongyafang Market, Zhou Chun still had a bad idea in mind.

He deliberately took Liu Shiyun out of the market in a swaggering manner, and walked towards the outside of the mountain in a reckless manner.

If any blind bandit dares to attack them, they can just use the Green Wood Spirit Ape to counterattack and kill him.

But what disappointed him was that they did not encounter any attacks until they stepped out of the Red Rock Mountains.

Liu Shiyun seemed to see his disappointment and knew his previous thoughts, so she immediately said softly:

"Dad once said that if a bandit cultivator who hangs out in the Red Rock Mountains wants to live a long life, cultivation strength is not the most important thing. The most important thing is vision."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are so young, but you have already reached the late stage of Qi Refining. You are also bringing along a daughter who is a fifth-level Qi Refining female cultivator. For such a combination to dare to walk around the Red Rock Mountains in such a swagger, they must have something to rely on."

"So those bandit cultivators will definitely not easily show up before they are fully aware of the situation."

Zhou Chun had never thought about this.

When Zhou Chun heard her talking about this, he became interested and asked immediately, "Fellow Daoist Liu, can you please tell me how you, as independent cultivators, usually protect yourselves in the world of immortal cultivation?"

"Is Brother Zhou also interested in this?"

Liu Shiyun looked at him in surprise, as if she had not expected that he, a cultivator from a big family, would also be interested in these things.

"These are all things that are necessary for survival in the world of immortal cultivation. Zhou naturally hopes to learn more about them so as to avoid being fooled in the future!"

Zhou Chun didn't feel embarrassed at all and openly stated the reason for his interest.

When Liu Shiyun heard what he said, a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she nodded lightly and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou is interested in this, I will naturally tell you everything I know."

"Daddy always said that when we, the scattered cultivators, go to the world of immortal cultivation, we need to remember the three things not to provoke and the three things not to care about."

"Three things not to mess with: first, don't mess with the disciples of the big sects who are wearing the sect uniforms; second, don't mess with those who are very different in age and cultivation; third, don't mess with the old man with white hair."

"No one in a big sect knows the strength and background of a disciple. If you provoke him, you may bring yourself endless troubles. People with big differences in age and cultivation either have great backgrounds or are just pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. The fact that the white-haired old man can live to old age is enough to show that his ability is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people."

"As for the three don'ts, one is don't care about other people's quarrels, two is don't care about other people's fights, and three is don't care about other people's speeches."

"In addition, if we, as independent cultivators, go in and out of the market to find companions or even to sell things, we also have things to be careful about."

Liu Shiyun did not hide anything from Zhou Chun. She immediately told Zhou Chun all the experiences she had heard and seen about the life of a free cultivator.

This also benefited Zhou Chun a lot and he learned a lot.

Just like that, after the two left the Hongyan Mountains, they crossed mountains and ridges along the way. In the middle, they also meditated at the mountain gate of a certain immortal cultivation family to restore their magic power and spirit. Three days later, they arrived at the medicine valley that Liu Shiyun had discovered.

This medicine valley is indeed very hidden.

It itself is not very large, just a crack in the mountain that is less than twenty meters long and less than three meters wide. It is even impossible to enter or exit from the bottom, and the only way is to go up and down through the gap above.

However, the gap above was covered with vines, and the green branches and leaves perfectly covered most of the gap, and there were a large number of thorny shrubs growing on both sides.

This special terrain environment makes it difficult to detect its existence whether from the sky or from the ground.

Liu Shiyun was able to discover this medicine valley because she accidentally saw two green-crowned flying snakes that were out hunting descending from the sky into the valley.

At this time, they arrived outside the Medicine Valley. Zhou Chun flew up with his flying magic tool to take a look, then returned to the ground and released the [Green Wood Spirit Ape].

Then he took out several large bags containing snakes from the storage bag and handed them to the green-haired giant ape.

These bags for holding snakes were tools that the Zhou family used in the past to catch small and medium-sized demon snakes. They are all woven with extremely tough demon silk, which are impervious to water and fire, and are difficult to be harmed by snake venom.

Moreover, Zhou Chun had already sprinkled a large amount of medicinal powder that could put the demon snakes into a dormant and coma. As long as he caught those green-crowned flying snakes and put them in, he would guarantee that they would not have the strength to move for several days.

"Master Yuan, I'm leaving those green-crowned flying snakes in there in your care. If you can avoid hurting them, it's best not to hurt them!"

Oh~oh!
In response to Zhou Chun's instructions, the green-haired giant ape simply patted his chest to show that he understood.

Then it grabbed the bag and strode towards the medicine valley.

Because they were afraid of being accidentally attacked by the Green Crowned Flying Snake, Zhou Chun and Liu Shiyun watched from a distance.

The green-haired giant ape somehow angered the emerald-crowned flying snakes inside. Soon, twenty or thirty emerald-green flying snakes flew out of the medicine valley, spraying venom from their mouths and attacking it.

These emerald green flying snakes are not big in size. The two largest ones are less than ten feet long, and the smallest ones are only four or five feet long.

Like the bamboo pit viper, they are emerald green all over, have a tumor on the top of their heads that looks like a cockscomb, and have two pairs of membranous wings like dragonfly wings on their ribs.

The main means of attack of this demon snake is poison. It can turn its deadly snake venom into poisonous arrows and poisonous water to attack the enemy, or it can use its extremely fast flying speed to bite its prey.

Once bitten by them, unless there is an extremely effective antidote to snake venom, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training will not survive more than half a day.

But the green-haired giant ape, as a second-level middle-grade demon beast, would not be hurt by these small snakes. It roared, and a layer of green light was released from its body, easily blocking the poisonous arrows and poisonous water.

At the same time, it waved its palm, and the green light intertwined into a big net, which caught several green-crowned flying snakes on the spot. Then it retracted the net and shot out several rays of magic power on the heads of those green-crowned flying snakes, which stunned them.

This process was repeated until, after a short while, all the green-crowned flying snakes were captured by the green-haired giant ape, knocked unconscious and put into the bag.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun and Liu Shiyun looked at each other in surprise, both of them were shocked by the strength of the green-haired giant ape.

Whoa whoa!

When it came to Zhou Chun, the green-haired giant ape handed the bag in his hand to Zhou Chun, indicating that he could check it.

But Zhou Chun was hesitant and trusted the other party very much, so he smiled and said, "Master Yuan, there is no need to do this. You should take care of these bags."

After saying that, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a jade box containing several kinds of spiritual fruits, and handed it to the green-haired giant ape.

"You can enjoy these spiritual fruits slowly, Elder Ape. I will go to the valley to pick those spiritual herbs first."

oh oh oh-

The green-haired giant ape shouted with joy, took the jade box with great satisfaction, then sat on the ground and slowly enjoyed it.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded to Liu Shiyun, and the two of them walked towards the medicine valley together.

After all, the spiritual beasts tamed by immortal cultivators are sensible!

Although the green-haired giant ape had fought a fierce battle with the green-crowned flying snakes inside the medicine valley, it also entered the medicine valley to clean up the mess in order to prevent any green-crowned flying snakes lurking inside.

However, it did not harm any of the spiritual herbs inside during the whole process, which was very sensible.

When they arrived at the valley at this time, Zhou Chun took a look and saw all kinds of magical medicines growing on the stone walls and the ground in the valley, some of which were as old as a hundred years.

Golden bamboo orchid, polygonatum, wild ginseng, tuckahoe, condensed herb, red oil flower...

There were more than a dozen types of spiritual medicines that Zhou Chun could recognize at a glance, and there were many more that he could not identify at the moment.

He looked at these densely growing spiritual herbs and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Strange, there are too many kinds of spiritual herbs here. It's hard to find so many different kinds of spiritual herbs growing in one place in the wild!"

"After hearing what Fellow Daoist Zhou said, this matter is indeed a bit strange."

Liu Shiyun couldn't help but nodded, also showing a look of doubt.

But no matter how they looked around, they could not see any signs of human activity here, not to mention that the group of green-crowned flying snakes that had been there before were still living here.

In the end, Zhou Chun could only wave his hand and said, "Forget it, let's collect herbs first!"

Then he took out a large number of empty jade boxes from the storage bag, and together with Liu Shiyun, he took the medicine hoe and carefully dug up various spiritual medicines.

As he was digging, when he was digging out a tiger claw golden thread grass growing on the stone wall, Zhou Chun suddenly found that there was something unusual about the stone wall covered with vines next to it.

He moved closer and pushed aside the vines, and saw that there was actually a stone door inside!
The moment he saw the stone door, Zhou Chun suddenly had an idea in his mind and instantly understood where all the elixirs in this medicine valley came from.

“I didn’t expect that there is a cave dwelling for casual cultivators hidden in such a wilderness!”

He looked at the moss-covered stone door in front of him with surprise and told the truth.

Indeed, if there was a cave dwelling of a casual cultivator hidden here, it would not be surprising that so many different kinds of spiritual medicines grew here.

Because some independent cultivators who open up caves and live in the wild do have the habit of scattering some spiritual medicine seeds randomly, and whether they can succeed depends entirely on fate.

Even many monks from different families and sects would scatter some spiritual medicine seeds in and around their homes, hoping to reap a harvest in the future.

After all, except for some rare species, most common medicinal medicine seeds are not difficult to obtain.

And looking at the spiritual herbs that now fill the valley, as well as the green-crowned flying snakes from earlier, one can tell that the owner of the cave inside the stone gate must have abandoned this place long ago.

After Zhou Chun opened the stone door, what he saw inside confirmed his speculation.

There was nothing in the several stone rooms inside the stone gate except some rotten and broken wooden furniture, and the moldy books and clothes that were originally stored inside.

It can be seen that the original owner probably went out and never came back.

There is a high probability that the guest died outside!

"Does this mean that the previous generation planted the herbs and the next generation enjoyed the shade?"

Zhou Chun left the stone chamber and looked at the spiritual herbs that had not been picked outside. He couldn't help but shook his head and stopped thinking about these trivial things.
