Chapter 148 Black-striped Ape and Infant Spirit Fruit
Chen Qingyun unfolded his consciousness and searched the surroundings, but found no signs of monsters.
Everyone discussed splitting up and exploring a radius of more than ten miles.
After exploring separately like this, we really made a discovery.
Chen Qinghan took the lead in sending a message to Chen Qingyun, calling him over, and immediately greeted Chen Daoren and others.
Everyone gathered in a valley, which was more than ten miles away from the lair of the golden-winged demon mantis.
Seeing everyone's confused and expectant looks, Chen Qinghan briefly recounted what he had discovered.
It turned out that deep in this valley, she discovered a group of apes, called black-striped apes.
Because she was too scared, she did not have close contact, and she did not know how many black-striped apes there were.
This is a second-level monster that lives in groups. It is not very powerful, but it is difficult to deal with.
Because these apes are numerous and know some wisdom.
The leading black-striped ape will at least have the strength of the foundation building stage.
Chen Qinghan did not go deep into the valley and went to the territory of the black-striped ape to check. This was obviously a very correct decision.
"The second-level black-striped ape. It is said that this monster is ferocious in nature, has sensitive hearing, and is good at fighting in groups. Anyone who offends one of them will cause the entire group to attack."
Chen Daoren said with a solemn expression, subconsciously lowering his voice when speaking, fearing that it would attract the attention of the black-striped apes.
"Could the injuries on the golden-winged demon mantis be related to these black-striped apes?"
Chen Qingfeng guessed.
"yes."
Chen Qinghan also felt that this was a possibility and said.
’ “If these apes want to fight for the Xuanyou Grass and take action against the Golden-winged Demonic Mantis, then that’s okay.”
"But there are no traces of fighting in the lair. Could it be that the conflict was caused by the golden-winged mantis flying here?"
"Is there anything here worth it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that there might be an opportunity here.
What is the specific situation? You will know after careful investigation.
"Qingyun, you are the strongest, please use your spiritual sense to explore."
Chen Daoren smiled and said: "I still have to rely on you to take action."
Chen Qingyun nodded, opened his consciousness and explored the depths of the valley.
Soon, he discovered that there was a spiritual vein here that was occupied by this group of apes, which had probably been breeding for many years.
After exploring the huge valley, preliminary statistics showed that the number of black-striped apes here reached 121.
Except for the black-striped ape king, who is in the late stage of foundation building, the rest of the black-striped apes are all in the Qi refining stage.
After such detailed exploration, Chen Qingyun also discovered something good, the reason why this group of apes live here - there is a spiritual tree here.
The black-striped ape king was guarding the spiritual tree with a few of his men.
Chen Qingyun's consciousness focused on sweeping the spiritual tree.
He found that there were more than twenty fruits on the tree. Each fruit was about the size of a palm. It looked like a ginseng fruit and was jade-white in color.
A word emerged in Chen Qingyun's mind.
Yingling Fruit Tree!
This is a rare spiritual fruit. It can be taken by those who have spiritual roots and are new to the path of spiritual practice. It can cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow, and step into the first level of Qi refining in one fell swoop.
Many wealthy cultivating clans, when cultivating a new generation of monks, will find ways to obtain some Infant Spirit Fruits for future generations to take.
Optimize their bones from the initial stage and enter the Qi refining stage in advance.
The price of an Infant Spirit Fruit is at least a thousand spirit stones, and it is still difficult to purchase.
The Chen family was small, and it was only during the time that ancestor Chen Taixu was alive that they obtained a few Infant Spirit Fruits to cultivate the first generation of immortal clan members.
Chen Xianming is one of the immortals who took the Yingling Fruit.
Among the immortal generation at that time, he was the first to enter the Qi refining stage, and he had long distanced himself from his peers.
Chen Qingyun guessed that the Yingling Fruit also had the effect of improving the physical fitness of these black-striped apes, causing them to thrive here and protect the Yingling Fruit tree for generations.
On the tree, looking at the quality of the Yingling Fruits, they are not yet mature.
Looking under the tree again, Chen Qingyun noticed something quite familiar.
A broken golden mantis wing.
Obviously, this came from the golden-winged demon mantis.
"It turns out that the golden-winged demon mantis was injured by these black-striped apes."
After confirming the suspicion in my heart, I looked at the scars on several of the black-striped apes, which seemed to be caused by the golden-winged demon mantis. Then everything became clear.
It seems that the golden-winged demon mantis accidentally entered this territory and discovered the existence of the Infant Spirit Fruit Tree. It was surrounded and killed by the group of black-striped apes, and finally escaped back to its lair after being injured.
It is not clear whether these spiritual fruits have any effect on the golden-winged demon mantis, and this is not the point.
The point is, these Infant Spirit Fruits are of great use to the Chen family!
What does the Chen family lack now?
There is no doubt that what is most lacking is the new generation of monks!
With these Infant Spirit Fruits, one has the ability to quickly cultivate new generations of monks.
As for whether the future children of the Chen family have spiritual roots, it depends on God's will.
After the detection results came out, Chen Qingyun opened his eyes and couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Chen Qingyun's expression, it seemed that he had really found something worth being happy about. Chen Daoren couldn't help but ask: "How is the situation?"
Chen Qingyun withdrew his consciousness and said.
"I found 121 black-striped apes deep in the valley. Except for one of them, which is the black-striped ape king in the late stage of foundation establishment, the rest are nothing to worry about and pose little threat."
"That golden-winged mantis, just as Sister Qinghan guessed, was injured by this group of black-striped apes."
He told everyone the details of the situation.
When mentioning the infant spirit fruit tree, he used a branch to draw a simple valley topographic map on the ground.
"There is an infant spirit fruit tree at this location. It must have existed for a long time. This is my biggest discovery in the valley."
When they heard about the infant spirit fruit tree, their eyes lit up. As long as they were cultivators of the Chen family, they basically knew what the infant spirit fruit tree was.
As an alchemist, Chen Daolin knew that the infant spirit fruit also had the function of alchemy, and he said excitedly.
"Great, there is an infant spirit fruit in the valley here, and we have found another opportunity."
The rest of Chen Qinghan and the others also knew what it meant to get the infant spirit fruit, and they were all happy.
"There are few cultivators in our family now. After a while, we will have to check our spiritual roots every five years."
"If a few spiritual root seedlings emerge in the family, with the help of the infant spirit fruit, the family can add one or two more cultivators."
Chen Daolin said with a look of longing: "Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful! These infant spirit fruits come at the right time for us."
Several people nodded repeatedly, knowing how much benefit the infant spirit fruit would bring to the Chen family.
But thinking back to the strength of this group of black-striped apes, they did not dare to act rashly.
