Chapter 93 The Hair of Mountain Charm

At noon, the fire meets the foot of the mountain.

Four young men and women came together and looked at the woods in the mountains.

"This is Huohe Mountain."

Zheng Weirong glanced at the woods on the mountain, turned back and shouted to his companions.

"Are those mountain sprites here?" Bai Xiaotong asked.

"It should be true. I heard people say that the group of mountain sprites have appeared in Huohe Mountain for several months. Even the Meritorious Service Institute has issued a mission to clear it up. It's just because there are too many sprites and the difficulty of clearing them out is too high, so it has been

No one finished."

Bai Xiaotong curled his lips when he heard this: "The reward must be too low, otherwise a heaven-level disciple would have taken action long ago."

Zheng Weirong smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to Bai Xiaotong's statement.

As far as he knew, the reward for the task of clearing out the mountain sprites was only three small merits.

As for the tasks that heaven-level disciples accept, the rewards are at least based on medium merit, and of course they are not as good as three trivial merits.

Not to mention heaven-level disciples, even earth-level disciples are often not very enthusiastic about tasks that reward three small merits.

Zheng Weirong glanced at Ai Jingting and Yan Dao behind him.

Otherwise, these two people would not have known about this mission all along.

Bai Xiaotong came to Ai Jingting and said with a smile:

"Since there are mountain sprites on Huohe Mountain, there are probably mountain charms as well. If you are lucky, maybe Senior Sister Ai will get the hair of the mountain charm today!"

Ai Jingting smiled gently: "I accept the good advice from my junior sister."

The mountain ghost is also called the mountain ghost king, and there are mountain sprites everywhere he passes.

Therefore, places with a large number of mountain sprites often also have mountain monsters.

Because refining the Flame Spirit Pill requires the hair of the mountain charm, Ai Jingting has been looking for the mountain charm during this period. Unfortunately, the number of the mountain charm is rare, and it often haunts the depths of dangerous mountains, making it extremely difficult to find.

So far nothing has been gained.

Just yesterday, she accidentally learned that a group of mountain sprites were infested in Huohe Mountain, so she hurried over.

"Without further delay, let's hurry up the mountain."

Yan Dao also spoke at this time, looking at Ai Jingting with a smile.

"Don't worry, junior sister Ai, I will definitely help you get the Hair of the Mountain Charm today!"

His words were full of confidence.

Yan Dao does have the confidence to say this.

As a prefecture-level disciple of Jiuyang Taoist Academy, he possesses the seventh level of long-breath cultivation, superb martial arts skills, and possesses magical weapons. His strength is definitely among the best among his peers.

The Shan Mei on Huohe Mountain is at the middle stage of the Ascension Realm at best. With his strength, killing Shan Mei is just a matter of easy capture.

Hearing this, Ai Tingjing just smiled slightly and pursed her lips in silence.

Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong looked at each other, with a smile flashing in their eyes.

Everyone knew that Yan Dao was in love with Ai Jingting. It was precisely because of this that when he heard that Ai Jingting was looking for someone to go to Huohe Mountain with him, Yan Dao immediately ran over and volunteered. The purpose was self-evident.

It's a pity that this Senior Sister Ai has a simple personality and usually doesn't speak politely to men. Apart from practicing, she is devoted to alchemy. Although Yan Dao tries to be courteous in every possible way, she only keeps a distance from her. So far, she has not let Yan Dao win the beauty back.

Despite this, Yan Dao still persevered and never gave up.

"The Yanling Pill is a truly high-level elixir. If Senior Sister Ai can obtain the Hair of Mountain Charm this time and successfully refine the Yanling Pill, she will be promoted to an official alchemist just around the corner. By then, Senior Sister Ai's status will be over.

They are not inferior to the disciples of the Upper Academy, and they have a bright future!"

Zheng Weirong glanced at Ai Jingting, unable to conceal his envy.

A skilled alchemist's status in Jiuyang Sect is not much lower than that of a monk.

Even because he could refine many precious elixirs, his status was somewhat aloof, and even monks did not dare to neglect him.

Therefore, becoming an alchemist is a bright road that is not inferior to that of a monk.

It's a pity that alchemy is a profession that requires too much talent. For those who lack talent, no matter how hard they work, their achievements will be very limited in the end.

Many people with insufficient qualifications will never be able to become even the lowest-level alchemist and can only be an alchemy apprentice throughout their lives.

Ai Jingting can step into the threshold of alchemy master with only half a foot at this age, which shows how amazing her qualifications are!

After chatting for a while, the group set off to go up the mountain.

Although the four of them were all very powerful, even the weakest Bai Xiaotong had the fourth level of long-breath cultivation, they were still cautious along the way, observing the surrounding situation attentively to prevent strange monsters from attacking.

But after walking for a while, Yan Dao suddenly let out a low sigh and his eyes fell on the ground fifty or sixty meters away to the right.

The other three people followed his gaze and couldn't help but be slightly startled.

I saw lying there motionless, a humanoid monster with extremely long limbs and a ferocious face. It was a mountain sprite.

Zheng Weirong quickly walked a few steps and stepped forward to check. After a moment, he was surprised.

"He's already dead. Judging from the wounds on his body, it should have been done by a practitioner!"

Bai Xiaotong also came over, looked at it for a few times and said in surprise:

"The traces of the Melting Hand! They are disciples of our Taoist Academy!"

Yan Dao nodded, stared at the corpse of the mountain sprite carefully for a while, and said in deep thought:

"Looking at the size of this bergamot, it should be an aberration in the early stage of the Ascension Realm. There are only wounds on the head and no blood on its claws. This means that the killer was a bergamot who killed him with one blow, and there was no resistance from the bergamot from the beginning to the end.

Opportunity."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong both looked surprised.

Even they could only barely manage to kill the early-stage aberrations in the Ascension Realm with one strike. Could it be that the person who got there first was also a Xuan-level disciple of the Taoist Academy?

"Oh no, the mountain charm won't fall into that person's hands, right?" Bai Xiaotong suddenly worried.

Yan Dao heard the words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, judging from the traces around, there is only one person who took action, and the mountain demon itself is a middle-stage aberration in the Ascension Realm. There are many mountain sprites around, and I want to kill it with just one person."

There are so many weird things, unless an earth-level disciple takes action!"

Earth-level disciples generally have six or seven levels of long-breath cultivation. If they have magical weapons in hand, it will not be a problem to deal with a group of mountain sprites.

However, unless there are special reasons, prefecture-level disciples usually practice deeper in the Longyuan Mountains and will not go to peripheral peaks like Huohe Mountain.

So that person is more likely to be just a Xuan-level disciple.

And with the strength of a Xuan-level disciple, it is indeed impossible to deal with a group of mountain sprites single-handedly.

Thinking of this, Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief.

Ai Jingting's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed.

Seeing this, Yan Dao smiled slightly and took the lead up the mountain.

"Let's go over and see which junior brother and sister are one step ahead of us."

The four of them immediately sped up the mountain.

On the road that followed, as expected, we saw the corpses of many mountain sprites one after another. Most of them were in the early stages of emergence, and the number varied from a single one at the beginning to three or four appearing at the same time later.

Regardless of the number, all the mountain sprites were killed in one blow, and their heads were burned black by the high temperature.

Looking behind them, not only Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong were secretly speechless, but even Yan Dao and Ai Jingting showed a trace of solemnity on their faces.

"Dacheng, no, this is the Weapon Melting Hand of the Perfection Realm!"

Yan Dao looked slightly solemn, his initial indifference gone.

You must know that the training of the Weapon Melter is extremely difficult. Many Long Breath Realm disciples have been immersed in this martial art for one or two years, but they can only reach the mastery level.

As far as Yan Dao knows, there are only two disciples in the lower courtyard who can cultivate the Weapon Molten Hand to perfection.

And those two people are both heaven-level disciples!

Yan Dao was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and for a moment his guess was somewhat shaken.

Could it be that I guessed wrongly that the man on the mountain was not a Xuan-level disciple, but actually one of the two Heaven-level disciples?

After coming back to his senses, he involuntarily accelerated his pace up the mountain.

The other three people also quickly increased their speed.

It didn't take long for the four of them to arrive near the top of the mountain.

More than a hundred meters away, Yan Dao and others heard roars and howls coming from the distance.

The four of them looked at each other and ran quickly in the direction of the sound.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the battle took place.

What came into view was an extremely fierce and unusual battle.

One side of the battle is a group of monsters.
