After a long journey of one day and one night, Jiang Chen and a group of six finally arrived at the entrance of Qingyou Valley on the morning of the third day. However, after arriving, the few were shocked.

"Oh my goodness! So many people?"

The six people were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them. Because there were thousands of monks waiting here. At first glance, they were full of black people, which was even more lively than when they were in the market in Qingmu City.

Moreover, there were people shouting: "Our team is still two short, so it's better to have a monk who knows the dot formation!"

At the same time, next to him, there were obviously another team of monks from another team shouting: "Our team has seven people, all of them are late-stage qi refining cultivators. If you come another person, you will enter the valley. It is best to have a fellow Taoist who can identify poisonous weeds and poisons!"

"Strange, how come there are so many people?" Wu Hui looked at this scene and his expression changed slightly and he murmured.

With so many people coming to this Qingyou Valley, it will naturally cause a lot of trouble to their actions. The more monks enter the canyon, the more battles there will be, and the more danger it will be.

"Yes! Even if the Qingyou Valley is opened once a decade, there will be no way so many people!" Fei Mule's face was extremely ugly.

He also entered ten years ago. At that time, there were only dozens of monks waiting at the entrance of the canyon, and most of them were wandering casual cultivators. After all, after so many years of mining and excavation in the Qingyou Valley, it has no attraction to most monks. Generally speaking, monks with a little bit of skills are too lazy to enter.

Jiang Chen then approached the monk who was recruiting people, bowed to him and said, "Fellow Taoist, why are there so many people gathering here? Are they all going to the valley?"

The cultivator was a middle-aged man at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Your cultivation is just at the late stage of Qi Refining, which is a little worse. However, if you have powerful magical powers, you can make do with it. Should you join our team?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, even if you want me to join your team, you have to tell me what will you do after joining the team?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man said with a strange look on his face: "What? Don't you know the mission issued by the Shui family?"

"Shui Family? Which Shui Family?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing this!

"Which Shui family can there be? Of course, it is the Shui family, one of the five major families in Jingzhou! The reward given by the Shui family this time is extremely generous! I heard that Shui Yuening, the second lady of the Shui family, came in person! Alas... that's really a natural beauty..." The big man said with a concealed look on his face.

Why is it related to the Shui family, one of the five major families? Jiang Chen quickly asked the monk with a respectful look, and finally learned the whole story of the matter.

It turned out that more than ten days ago, Shui Yuening, the second lady of the Shui family in Xiangyang Prefecture, Jingzhou, accompanied by two elders in the late stage of foundation building, brought a group of Shui family monks to the entrance of the Qingyou Valley, saying that they wanted to collect a demon pill of a low-level monster called Ice Jade Snake.

According to the elders who issued the order of the Shui family, the ice jade snake was only available in the Qingyou Valley of the Han Kingdom, Xiling Gorge of Yi Kingdom, and Junshan of Yue Kingdom in Jingzhou. If a monk went in to hunt the ice jade snake and handed over its demon pill, the Shui family would give a certain reward according to the number of handed over.

The rewarded items range from spirit stones to elixirs, magic tools, and talismans, and cover three levels: low, medium and high.

Moreover, what made the Qi Refining Cultivator the most excited was that if he could get a thousand demon pills of the Ice Jade Snake, he could exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.

Of course, the Shui family only prepared ten foundation-building pills in total when they came to Han Dynasty this time, and they were replaced.

As a result, the Qi Refining Cultivators in the Han Dynasty naturally flocked to them.

Especially those ordinary disciples who feel that they have no hope of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill in their sects and families, as well as casual cultivators, want to go in and try their luck.

So far, there are no less than a thousand Qi Refining Cultivators who have entered the Qi Refining Stage.

"Fellow Taoist, why don't you go in with us! Although there are many ice jade snakes in the Qinggu Valley, so many people are probably not enough to kill them! If you go in later, you will probably not even be able to drink the soup! There are nine people in our team. After you join in, you will just gather eight people to set off!" The monk invited warmly.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, thank you for your kindness! But I already have companions!"

After saying that, he didn't care about the man's ugly face and returned to his team.

"Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Fei Mule asked hurriedly.

Jiang Chen sighed and told him what he had just found out.

"Oh! I didn't expect that things were so coincidental! I have been busy practicing for so many days, studying the terrain in Qingyou Valley, and have not gone out to inquire about the situation... As a result, such a thing happened! It's a lot of trouble now!" Wuwang couldn't help but sigh.

"It doesn't matter! Isn't this an unexpected surprise?"

Fat Fish disagreed and said, "Didn't Brother Jiang say that? The Shui family in Xiangyang Prefecture is also releasing missions. We can just hunt some ice jade snakes on the way and hand them over. Even if we have nothing in the ancient cultivator's cave, can we still use the ice jade snake demon pill to exchange for items? We are lucky and have really collected a thousand demon pills, can we still exchange for the foundation-building pill?"

When Fei Mu heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother, don't think too simple about things! Look, there are hundreds of people at the entrance of the valley just now, not to mention more than a thousand people have already entered. There are so many Qi Refining Cultivators, from all the Immortal Cultivation Clans in the Han Dynasty, and there are many casual cultivators. It's too difficult for us six to get a piece of the pie!"

"Not only that, I think the task issued by the Shui family is also very problematic!" Jiang Chen thought for a while and said with a worried look on his face.

When Fat Fish heard this, he immediately said in surprise: "No! You must know that the Shui family is one of the five major families in Jingzhou. I heard that there are also Nascent Soul cultivators in the clan. I believe they will not be unreputable!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that they won't cash out the reward items. Instead, they feel that it will be quite difficult to obtain the Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill. Otherwise, they could send their Qi Refining Disciples from their family to the valley to obtain them. How could they take so many treasures for our Han monks to complete it?"

After Jiang Chen's analysis, everyone also felt that there were some problems.

This ice jade snake is just a first-level monster, only equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of Qi refining, and is not a group creature. There is almost no danger when hunting.

If you really want to say what the characteristics of this monster is that they have a demon pill the size of a soybean in their belly. This is relatively rare among ordinary monsters.

You know, ordinary monsters will not have demon pills when they reach the foundation-building stage, and not every monster has one.

It is not difficult to kill the ice jade snake. The only difficulty is that these snakes are too scattered and difficult to find.

Although they are numerous in Qinggu Valley, they are distributed from east to west. They are either hidden in the stream, under the pond, or in the dark jungle, and it is very difficult to find.

Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Jiang Chen said slowly: "The Shui family is not afraid to send people in, and they are not without Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation. According to Jiang's inference, it was because of the tight time and they didn't have time to transfer so many people..."

"After all, Qingyou Valley has only been opened for five days, and the number of ice jade snake demon pills they need is very large, so they have to set up such a task to help them hunt ice jade snakes and obtain demon pills..."

"Secondly, it is for the safety of the disciples of the Shui family. After all, after entering, these monks do not care whether you belong to the Shui family or not. Under this reward, as long as you suspect that you have the inner elixir of the Ice Jade Snake on you, you may kill and seize treasures... In this way, the danger of trekking through Qingyou Valley will be greater than before!" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, the five people were silent for a moment. This emergencies were indeed what they had not expected. The danger on the road to the ancient monk cave was much greater than expected before.

Wuwang said at this time, "You said, should we still go in as planned now?"

The fat mule hesitated and laughed: "Look for wealth and honor in danger, those who are brave enough to survive, and those who are timid will starve to death! The path to cultivating immortals, how can one become immortals be safe and peaceful? They are all obtained by fighting for life. If you don't dare to fight, you might as well be a mortal and live a peaceful life! Why should you embark on the road to cultivating immortals?"

Feiyu also nodded and said, "My brother and I have the same view! Our spiritual roots are just ordinary, and they are casual cultivators. Without the support of the sect, if you want to go further on the road to immortal cultivation, you can only have a glimmer of hope of building a foundation if you take this dangerous move!"

Wuhui and Wuqing looked at each other and said calmly: "Since we have arrived at the entrance of Qingyou Valley, we have no plans to retreat again. Those who kill can also kill them. By then, although the chance of death is high, the chance of harvest is even greater!"

After Wu Hope heard this, Fang looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Brother Jiang, what do you think? The danger now is much greater than what we expected at the beginning!"

He was not worried that the Fat Brothers and his two junior brothers would not go in, but instead was a little worried about Jiang Chen, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. After all, if this person was an alchemist, he might also obtain a foundation-building pill in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said, "The danger is much greater, but the opportunity has also increased a little. At least we have more choices to hunt the Ice Jade Snake. Although going to the ancient monk's cave is destined to be bumpy, it is always more hopeful than I will take the sect entrance exam to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill. I also agree to enter Qingyou Valley as planned!"

Wuwang saw that everyone agreed unanimously, Fang nodded and said, "Since everyone has such a firm will, I feel relieved! Then let's continue to go deep into the valley! However, we face more monk teams, and they will not be kind to others. They are very likely to kill other teams that we enter together. We must be extremely vigilant!"
