Chapter 20: Flame Red Heart
When he returned home, he said a few words to his parents, and seeing that his parents did not mention that he had spent 40,000 yuan to buy something for his sister, Fang Bai knew that his sister had not told his parents about it.
Fang Bai thought to himself that it would be okay, at least he didn't have to waste his tongue and explain to his parents.
After his parents rested, Fang Bai chopped up the herbs and boiled them into a large vat of potion as he did yesterday, then took off his clothes and took a medicinal bath in it to wash his tendons and remove impurities from his body.
During the medicinal bath, Fang Bai found that the black substance discharged from his body was a lot more than yesterday, and he could clearly feel the improvement in all aspects of his body.
After tossing like this until midnight, Fang Bai returned to his room to rest.
Of course, Fang Bai's rest was not a deep sleep like ordinary people, but a silent operation of the "Dragon, Tiger, Lion and Elephant Gong" and entered a magical state of cultivation.
In this way, Fang Bai only needs to "rest" for two or three hours a day, which is equivalent to an ordinary person's rest for a whole night.
This is one of the advantages of cultivators.
When he got up in the early morning of the next day, Fang Bai checked the "seven-leaf golden lotus" planted in the corner of the wall, and found that it had taken root in the soil and grown, and was secretly happy.
Today's wind is very strong, and it is also a headwind, so it is twice as difficult to run, but for Fang Bai, refining the body needs to constantly challenge the limit, so that he can progress faster.
Running all the way to the mountain outside the city, just like the previous two days, Fang Bai first practiced the exercises, and then breathed and breathed, and the true yuan in the sea of qi was only the size of a grain of rice, becoming more and more pure and condensed.
Today was Sunday, and there was no need to go to school, so Fang Bai decided to walk around the mountains to see if he could still have the same chance as he had found the "Seven Leaf Golden Lotus" yesterday.
Wolong Mountain Range is close to the recent peaks of Zhongzhou City, the mountain is relatively gentle, when encountering good weather, there are often citizens who come to go out to play, it is difficult to have any strange flowers and plants to survive here, Fang Bai can find "Seven Leaves Golden Lotus", it is a miracle.
Fang Bai searched up and down several nearby peaks, but found nothing special, so he walked along the rugged mountain road to the deep hinterland of the mountains.
Wolong Mountain is thousands of miles in circumference, the mountain peaks are endless, the river streams are vertical and horizontal, the ravines are staggered, the mountains are lush with trees, the flowers and plants are luxuriant, it is the paradise of all kinds of wild small animals to live.
Fang Bai searched carefully along the way, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he didn't find a single exotic flower and grass that was as spiritual as the "Seven Leaf Golden Lotus" and could absorb the true essence of heaven and earth on its own.
At around eight o'clock, Fang Bai felt a little hungry and didn't want to return in vain, so he began to catch pheasants and hares in the mountains and forests, ready to roast and eat.
The pheasant and hare run very fast in the mountains and forests, and it is extremely difficult to catch, but Fang Bai urged Zhenyuan to exert the "Dragon Swimming Nine Days" body method in the "Dragon, Tiger, Lion and Elephant Skill", and his body is like a dragon, swimming for nine days, and the speed is so fast that it is a few points better than those pheasants and hares.
In just half an hour, several pheasants and hares were easily caught by him.
Although there is no salt or condiments, the game in the mountains is delicious and tender, and after the roasting is cooked, it is still full of flavor.
Filling his stomach, Fang Bai continued on the road.
The deeper he went into the mountains, the more difficult the mountain road became, and he was already exhausted after walking dozens of miles of mountain roads for ordinary people, but Fang Bai regarded this as a kind of refinement, even if he was extremely tired, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Near noon, Fang Bai stopped by a small stream, drank the clear and sweet water, and saw that there were fish swimming in the stream, so he directly inserted a few branches and made a fire by the stream to eat them.
After eating and drinking, Fang Bai sat cross-legged on a rock by the stream, running the "Dragon, Tiger, Lion and Elephant Gong" pranayama until his physical strength was restored, and then he continued to move forward.
"Huh, that's ......."
When passing a steep mountain, Fang Bai's eyes inadvertently glanced at it, and found that there was a faint red shadow flickering on the mountainside of the mountain, which was more than ten zhang high.
After his "Dragon, Tiger, Lion and Elephant Skill" advanced to the second level of the "Accumulation Yuan Realm", his facial features were keen, his eyesight was excellent, and he could see things dozens of meters away clearly, standing under the mountain peak and raising his eyes to look at the red shadow, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"It's the 'Flame Red Heart Fruit'! This kind of strange fruit, after it is ripe, it can be taken directly, or it can be refined into pills, and its effect on cultivators is no worse than that of the 'Seven Leaf Golden Lotus'!"
Fang Bai raised his head and looked at the "Flame Red Heart Fruit" that was swaying in the wind, and almost jumped up with excitement.
The leaves of the "Flame Red Heart" are strangely shaped and fiery red, like a raging flame, while the fruit is shaped like a heart the size of a pigeon's egg, which looks extremely delicate.
Through observation, Fang Bai judged that the "Flame Red Heart Fruit" was still some time away from ripening, and decided to pick it and take it home to be planted, just like the "Seven Leaf Golden Lotus", if it could be planted in a large area in the future, it would be of great benefit to his cultivation.
The mountain peak was very steep, but it was difficult for Fang Bai, he shook his spirit, used his hands and feet together, and began to climb upward.
The height of more than ten zhang can be climbed in a few minutes.
Looking at the "Flaming Red Heart Fruit" up close, you can see a pigeon-egg-sized, red-like fruit that is like a fire, and shaped like a heart, trembling in the mountain breeze against the backdrop of a large cluster of flame-like leaves.
Following the mountain breeze, you can smell a rich fragrance emanating from the fruits.
Fang Bai sniffed vigorously, the whole person was refreshed, and the tired feeling was swept away.
This "Flame Red Heart Fruit" grows on a steep mountainside, and it is extremely difficult to find with poor eyesight, and it is impossible to climb to a height of tens of meters without the help of climbing tools, which may be the reason why it has been preserved to this day.
Fang Bai's encounter with this "Flame Red Heart Fruit" was also a kind of luck for him.
Fang Bai's eyes flashed with excitement, and his right arm passed through the stone crevice in the mountain, gently grasping the rhizome of the "Flame Red Heart Fruit", preparing to carefully pull it out and bring it back.
At this moment, a fishy wind blew on his face, and Fang Zhi smelled the fishy wind, and his mind suddenly appeared a little dizzy.
Fang Bai had seen a lot in his previous life, and when he smelled the fishy wind, he knew that he must have attacked him with poison, and secretly screamed that it was not good.
As soon as there was a flower in front of him, a colored shadow burst out like lightning from the crack in the stone behind the "Flame Red Heart Fruit", and pounced on Fang Bai's arm holding the "Flame Red Heart Fruit".
Fang Bai was suddenly attacked, although he was not shocked, his right arm shrank rapidly, temporarily letting go of the "Flame Red Heart Fruit", staring at the colored shadow, and couldn't help but gasp.
The colored shadow is a multicolored flower snake with a thin arm and a foot long.
The flower meandered, most of the snake's body was coiled on a raised mountain stone, the huge triangular head was raised high, a pair of humanized eyes stared at Fang Bai, and the half-foot-long scarlet snake letter in the snake's mouth was rapidly swallowed, making a scalp-numbing "sizzling" sound, which seemed to warn Fang Bai.
"Great exotic flowers and plants, there must be spirit beasts guarding nearby, how did I forget this? This snake is at least 100 years old, looking at its color, it must be extremely poisonous, I have to be careful!"
Fang Bai would not stop his hand, and the multicolored flower snake had no intention of retreating, one person and one snake confronted each other at a distance of about two meters.
