Chapter 2278 Thirty Breaths
He was too weak and ran out of energy after talking for a while, so he stopped to rest: "As a result, the water mirror in the small cave suddenly became blurry, and for a full twenty days, no image could be seen. When it was restored later, it was incomplete, and it was not until half a year later, when new stone grass grew all over the mountain, that it was restored to its original state."
"Where is this grass spirit located?"
Xu Wenqin hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's on the cliff directly opposite Baisu Creek. Other stone grasses have red heads, but this one has white heads. Also, it's very timid; it will shrink into the crevices of the rocks at the slightest disturbance. That's why you won't be able to find it."
“A very detailed explanation.” He Lingchuan nodded. “Thank you, Elder Xu.”
"By the way, our sect has placed a barrier around Xunyang Mountain, which also prohibits escape techniques," Xu Wenqin reminded. "You can't even enter the mountains and marshes, so you have no way to hide it from the sect's eyes and ears; also, once this Stone Skin Grass spirit is uprooted, the sect will immediately receive an alarm."
The group looked at each other, wondering how they could possibly continue.
Liu Qingdao said, "There will be no Imperial Dewfall tonight."
The situation in the Demon Realm has changed, so the period of Emperor's Dew outbreak has come to an end.
Is there a way to disable the Stone Skin Grass Spirit without removing it?
Lingguang, with his monkey-like eyes darting around, suddenly interjected, "What does the Stone Skin Grass Spirit like to eat the most? It can't just be morning dew, can it?"
Plants that have become spirits will not be content with merely feeding on wind and dew, just like humans.
Some plants, when they become sentient, develop a particular interest in flesh and blood.
“Honey,” Xu Wenqin said. “A few days ago, I personally delivered a large bucket of honey to it.”
Ling Guang then asked He Lingchuan, "How long do you need the water mirror to malfunction?"
“Thirty breaths will suffice,” He Lingchuan affirmed. “With the help of the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, I only need a little time to adjust.”
Thirty breaths is not a long time. The problem is that the Qixia Sect cannot discover that Cang Yan has come to their hideout to tamper with things. It is not difficult for He Lingchuan to get close; he can use the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl to deceive the Stone Skin Grass Spirit's perception, but he will inevitably attract attention during the setup process.
Ling Guang then asked Dong Rui, "Do you still carry the sample of the man-eating flower's black spot disease with you?"
Black spots? Dong Rui hissed and angrily rubbed the monkey's head: "Great idea, Lingguang is really smart!"
Liu Qingdao guessed two things: "Do you want to make this herb spirit sick?"
Dong Rui took out a small jade bottle from his pocket and weighed it in his hand: "Although the man-eating flower in our Jucheng is powerful, it also has a natural enemy, which is this black spot disease! It can quickly infect grass leaves, roots and stems. I have treated it many times, but I can never get rid of it completely. It can be called a stubborn disease."
He Lingchuan, on the contrary, worried: "Won't it kill the Stone Skin Grass Spirit right away?"
He only wanted the Stone Skin Grass Spirit to temporarily stop working, not wanting to kill it, otherwise he would still alarm the Qixia Sect.
“Do you think I don’t know what’s going on? This is the earliest sample of black spot disease, and it’s less potent.” Dong Rui has always been more thorough than him when it comes to medication. “There’s a saying: what’s poison to you is honey to me. Black spot disease is most damaging to flowering plants. Since the rock grass doesn’t flower, it won’t suffer as much damage. Besides, I often use rock grass for experiments, so I know its tolerance. I’ll dilute the concentration of the pesticide to a lower level.”
He looked at He Lingchuan seriously and said, "The biggest challenge is actually how to make good use of those thirty breaths."
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
Liu Qingdao was a little worried: "If you personally take action, this..."
Ten years after the founding of the nation, Cangyan is filled with powerful figures, and the Emperor has not personally gone to the battlefield for a long time.
"The Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, can you use it?"
Liu Qingdao shook his head. Since the fall of Master Qianhuan, only the Great Emperor Jiuyou could wield the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl.
Just then, Xu Wenqin's figure, formed from condensed smoke, became less solid and began to disintegrate.
"He's not going to make it." Ling Guang had been paying close attention to his injuries. Upon seeing this, he immediately took out a soft needle from his pocket, attached the end of the needle to a medicine pouch, and then inserted the needle tip into the medicine film, forcefully squeezing the soft gel from the medicine pouch into the medicine film.
This needle was a gift from Aunt Zhu. It is extremely thin and hollow, with a pouch hanging at the end, making it convenient for the physician to administer medicine.
"This is Dragon Tiger Ointment! Let's see if we can force him to stay alive." But Ling Guang was not optimistic. "Elder Xu's whole body is almost turning to wood. I'm afraid the fungus will be even more potent than him after taking this medicine."
Dragon Tiger Ointment, as the name suggests, is a potent medicine for tigers and wolves. An ordinary person would explode and die if they tasted just one drop. Now, even if the entire sac is injected into it, it still can't keep Elder Xu alive.
He Lingchuan glanced at Dong Rui, who knew what he wanted to ask and preemptively said, "We've reached the foot of Xunyang Mountain; it's time for us to go up to the surface."
Ahead lies the barrier set up by the Qixia Sect; if the snail-toad were to forcibly infiltrate, it would certainly trigger an alarm.
"Elder Xu, hold on!" He Lingchuan patted Elder Xu's shoulder on the ground. "Once your body collapses, Old Liu will provide a Luomu tree for your soul to temporarily reside in."
Xu Wenqin struggled to stay upright, his face becoming blurry: "Quick, quick!"
His body was like a mud bunker on a beach at high tide, about to be washed away in an instant.
The snail-toad also leaped onto the ground, right beside a stream. The vegetation here was lush, with reeds and rushes reaching three meters high, completely shading the stream bank, while stone grass usually doesn't grow near water.
He Lingchuan patted the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl on his chest and jumped out of the snail toad.
From the moment he jumped out, the passengers inside the snail-toad could no longer see him.
This person vanished into thin air.
A strong wind suddenly blew up on Xunyang Mountain tonight, causing the trees and shrubs to sway and rustle.
The Nine Nether Emperor was hidden in the wind, and even the stone grass covering the mountains and fields did not notice his arrival, even though he had just walked past them.
The Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl concealed his form and scent.
Dong Rui and Ling Guang worked together to quickly prepare the black spot disease solution, which they then poured into a small bamboo section along with the aphid molasses solution.
The aroma of honeydew is much stronger than that of honey.
He waved again:
"Come."
The bat-like demon puppet emerged from behind him, grabbed the bamboo section, and then leaped out of the snail-toad and flew into the air.
Its mission is to find the Stone Skin Grass Spirit.
Liu Qingdao stared at Xu Wenqin, his fist clenching secretly inside his sleeve.
Elder Xu's body was mostly petrified, and his internal organs were almost completely dysfunctional, with only his heart still beating weakly. In fact, his life force had been extinguished, but he was a ruthless person, and continued to use his soul power as fuel to forcibly support his body.
To susten one's life with one's soul is an unbearable torment. Liu Qingdao also admired him somewhat.
Ten breaths, twenty breaths, fifty breaths passed...
A full one hundred and twenty breaths.
Finally, he exhaled a long breath, and it was as if a small whirlwind swept through the interior of the snail-toad, dissipating the smoke in the air.
pass away.
Xu Wenqin, who was lying down, trembled slightly, and his head quickly became wooden. Now, he could be knocked on from head to toe.
As his consciousness shattered, a wisp of dark light emerged from Xu Wenqin's seven orifices and spun in mid-air.
