The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 6: Vulture Peak Cave

Chen Jinshu finally bought the alchemy furnace.

In addition to being inexpensive, the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead was also faintly warm, making her feel that this alchemy furnace was not simple.

But in the end she argued her case and got a bottle of fasting pills as a bonus.

A bottle of fasting pills costs five spirit stones, and she earned five spirit stones in a disguised way.

When we returned to the house at the foot of the mountain, the sun had already reached the halfway point.

Ning Yushan also began to see a large number of Chen family cultivators walking around.

Seeing this, Chen Jinshu took Mu Li and walked quickly towards the foot of the mountain.

……

Half an hour later, second uncle Chen Wentan arrived at the house where Chen Wu's mother and daughter were living.

"Are you ready?" Chen Wentan asked softly when he saw the mother and daughter waiting in the yard.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for your concern. Jinshu prepared everything early."

"That's good! Let's hurry up and get on our way before the sun sets." Chen Wentan nodded, looked up at the sun and said.

"Thank you, Uncle, for seeing me off!"

"You're welcome! I can only feel at ease if I personally send you to Vulture Peak."

It would take at least three to five days to reach Lingjiu Mountain, a distance of more than two thousand miles. If he encountered any trouble on the way, he would really be unable to sleep or eat.

After a while, the three of them walked towards the outside of the family's mountain protection formation. Only then did Chen Wentan take out the flying spirit boat and quickly head forward.

Chen Wentan's flying spirit boat was smooth, like a small boat sailing in the air, but it was much faster than an ordinary water boat.

It is said that it will take three to five days, but if you speed up as much as possible, you can arrive within three days.

Along the way, Chen Jinshu has been listening to the teachings of his mother and second uncle. When he is outside, his first priority is to protect himself and he must never act impulsively.

Chen Jinshu knew this, and was listening attentively.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days later. It was three quarters past noon, and the sun was warm even though it was high in the sky.

There is not much snow at the foot of Lingjiu Mountain, but as you go up, you will see some snow every few pine trees.

Soon, the three of them reached the middle of the mountain and arrived at the management office of Lingjiu Mountain Lingtian.

This is a conspicuous attic, surrounded by many houses, which should be the residence of the family spiritual farmers in this area.

Under the guidance of his second uncle Chen Wentan, Chen Jinshu soon met the manager of the Lingjiu Mountain Spiritual Field, a family elder who guarded the place, Chen Huaiyang, who had reached the ninth level of Qi training.

"Brother Huaiyang! How have you been recently?" As soon as Chen Wentan walked up to this person, he started chatting with him in a familiar manner.

"Are you a cousin of the Wentan clan?" Chen Huaiyang said "Huh" lightly when he saw the person coming, but he quickly reacted.

There aren't many family cultivators in the late stage of Qi training who come to Lingjiu Mountain these days.

"It's me! We haven't seen each other for years."

"Why are you here?" Chen Huaiyang asked with a faint smile.

"After my eldest brother left, the family compensated him with three acres of spiritual farmland. This time, we sent Jinshu here to take shelter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huaiyang turned his head and looked at Chen Jinshu and her daughter behind Chen Wentan.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Chen Huaiyang bowed slightly according to etiquette.

"You're welcome, elder."

"Is this Jinshu's niece?" Chen Huaiyang nodded, turned his head and looked at Chen Jinshu who was wearing a white veil and asked.

"Jinshu greets Third Uncle!" Chen Jinshu bowed slightly upon seeing this.

She listened for a moment and didn't expect that the manager of Lingjiu Mountain had some relationship with their family. She just didn't know what this blood uncle felt like.
"Although I've been away from my family for a long time, I understand how difficult it is for Jinshu. If you run into trouble in Vulture Peak in the future, please seek help from Third Uncle. He will take care of things for you."

"Thank you, uncle!"

"The three acres of spiritual farmland that the family gave you as compensation is in a good location. You can follow us after activating the token."

"I wonder if there are any cave dwellings here?" Chen Wentan asked after hearing this.

"Oh! I'm sorry for being impolite. I should have arranged for you to stay first." Chen Huaiyang smiled awkwardly and said hurriedly.

"This is the management office, and also the cave where I cultivate. The caves surrounding it are the spiritual farmers' caves. Almost all of them are occupied now, with only three remaining vacant. One more will become available tomorrow," Chen Huaiyang said, pulling out the cave registration book from his storage bag. "I wonder what Jinshu's cave requirements are?"

"It's best to be secluded and closer to the three acres of spiritual fields." Chen Jinshu said after thinking about it.

"So there is only one left. This cave was once inhabited by a family alchemist. Due to years of alchemy, there is a lot of heat left over. It is a bit hot. There are also a lot of poison left around, so it has not been chosen. I wonder what Jinshu thinks?" Chen Huaiyang frowned slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect that this was the only place that met Chen Jinshu's requirements.

"How can people live in such an environment?" Chen Wentan was immediately displeased after hearing this. What's the difference between this and living in a fire pit?

"The other two places are not bad either. They are just a little far from the three acres of spiritual fields, and it takes some time to go back and forth. But it's not a big problem." Chen Huaiyang said to Chen Jinshu after hearing this.

"Could you take us there first?"

Chen Jinshu was a little hesitant. He was surprised for a moment when he first heard that an alchemist had lived there. He didn't expect that there would be elixir poison left.

But she still wanted to investigate it herself.

During these three days of rushing on the road, she had only briefly consulted the jade slips on alchemy, but she had also gained some understanding of this art of alchemy. The elixir poison was the residue of the elixir after a failed refining process, and it was usually treated specially, otherwise it would be very easy for the elixir poison to remain, which would have a certain impact on the practice.

"That's fine! This way I can choose something that suits my taste even more."

Chen Huaiyang nodded and immediately led the three people towards the three caves.

After a while, after walking about two miles, the four of them stopped at a remote cave house.

As soon as they arrived here, the four of them smelled a faint pungent smell of medicine. It was a bit cool when they came here, but when they got here, they felt a bit hot.

Several people couldn't help but frown.

"This is the remote cave that Jinshu requested. It's about four miles from here, and you're almost at the three acres of spiritual fields. It takes less than half an hour to go back and forth. Compared to the caves of other spiritual farmers, it's considered close." Chen Huaiyang said, pointing to the cave in the courtyard in front of him.

Chen Jinshu looked up and saw a small courtyard in front of him. There were four flower beds in the courtyard and two trees planted there, one was a red plum tree and the other was a yellow plum tree.

"Can I come in and take a look?" Chen Jinshu said.

"Of course you can."

After Chen Huaiyang opened the cave formation, she strolled into the courtyard. It was indeed a bit hot as her third uncle said, but she could still bear it.

There was indeed some pungent medicinal fragrance in the air, but what surprised her was that after she inhaled the pungent medicinal fragrance into her lungs, it was actually absorbed by the lotus birthmark on her forehead and turned into pure spiritual power in an instant. However, there was little residual poison in the medicinal fragrance, so the spiritual power was extremely weak.

But it gave her a big surprise.

Then she began to check the various facilities in the courtyard. If there were no problems, she decided to live here.

Since the poison has no effect on her, it can be decomposed into pure spiritual power, which is much more than other spiritual farmers who simply absorb spiritual energy from the earth veins.

If you keep accumulating like this, you will definitely be able to pull away a lot from others.

These residual poisons are the residues left after the failed refining process. They are the result of the burning of objects containing spiritual power. Therefore, the lotus birthmark can also decompose and purify the spiritual power contained therein.

And this anger may provide the environmental conditions for her to refine the elixir in the future.

After a while, Chen Jinshu looked at the facilities at the entrance of the courtyard. They were quite good. These houses should be similar, it’s just a matter of whether you like them or not.

"Uncle San, let's book this one." She said to Chen Huaiyang after checking it out.

"Shu'er? You are kidding! There are a lot of poisons here. It will affect your body if you continue practicing." Chen Wu was frightened when she heard this and didn't even speak to stop him.

"Yes! Second uncle will let your third uncle choose a good one." Chen Wentan frowned slightly when he saw this.

"Mom, this house is more to my liking, and it can also avoid the eyes of those people!" Chen Jinshu said as he lowered his head timidly.

She knew that her mother and second uncle would definitely not let her choose this room, so she could only use the special birthmark on her body as a bargaining chip.

In this case, the two of them should not persuade each other anymore.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen Wu wanted to say something, but became hesitant, with a crystal clear light in her eyes.

After hearing this, Chen Wentan immediately fell silent.

"Since Jinshu has already decided, let's take this one. This formation has an isolating effect and can withstand a lot of fire and poison. It can be regarded as extra compensation for this house." After Chen Huaiyang finished speaking, he handed Chen Jinshu a small formation plate made of green jade.

Seeing this, Chen and Wu finally nodded with relief.

"Thank you, Brother Huaiyang!"

"Thank you, elder!"

"Thank you, Uncle San!" Chen Jinshu accepted it with a slight thank you.
