Chapter Eighty-Three: The Barren Land
Throughout the morning, Shen Hao had been in the midst of meditation and cultivation to consolidate the ascension he had brought by taking Pei Yuan Dan this time, and in this way he continued until noon before stopping the Chaos Wuji Divine Skill operating in his body.
After a simple lunch with his parents, Shen Hao went directly to the front hall, because he knew. There is likely to be an important thing to do today.
Sitting on a chair in the front hall, Shen Hao sneaked his divine sense into the Qiankun space, and his figure appeared next to the Soul Gathering Spring in a flash.
Looking at the milky white spring water that kept tumbling in the Soul Gathering Spring, Shen Hao would feel that he was guarding a huge treasure, but it was a pity that this treasure could only let him take such a small amount every time!
I saw that he stretched out his hand and made a slight move, and a drop of Soul Gathering Spring Water flew out of the tumbling pool water, and it was already in Shen Hao's mouth in an instant.
This was the fourth time he had taken this Soul Gathering Spring Water, and Shen Hao could clearly feel that his Divine Soul was gradually becoming stronger. Although the improvement is not as obvious as when I first took it, I can still feel it slightly.
As soon as this drop of Soul Gathering Spring Water entered its mouth, it turned into a cool breath and directly burrowed into Shen Hao's limbs. Although it was burrowed into his body, Shen Hao could feel that this cool breath was slightly condensing the power of the divine soul in every part of his body.
Shen Hao directly sat cross-legged in the Qiankun space in the form of a divine soul, and the Chaos Infinite Divine Skill was running quickly in the dantian.
Unconsciously, Shen Hao had been sitting here for half an hour.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came into Shen Hao's ears, although Shen Hao's soul was in the Qiankun space, but he was also paying attention to the outside world at all times.
"Young Master Qiqi, there is a medicine collector outside who claims to be called Ah Gui who has come to meet the young master! He said that the money shopkeeper asked him to come!"
Shen Hao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the guards who came to report, and said with a smile, "Let him come in!"
'Is it really here?, I want to see what's there?' Thinking of this, Shen Hao was excited.
It was a curiosity about the unknown, especially when he learned from Dingluo that there was a great possibility that it would be a good thing, which made him more and more excited.
In a moment, the previous guard led a young man in, bowed down to Shen Hao and said, "Young Master, Agui has brought it here!"
Shen Hao looked at the young man behind the guard, and saw that the young man was about thirty years old, and the skin on his face was dark, obviously because he often collected spiritual herbs and elixirs outside. It is about 1.8 meters tall, but it looks very strong.
"Alright, you go and prepare two horses first!" Shen Hao said to the guard.
This Lingyun Mountain is more than thirty miles away from Liuyun Town, if Shen Hao uses the snow stepping without trace footwork, I'm afraid he will be able to rush over it in a quarter of an hour.
But this time, it didn't work, because he found that this medicine picker was a real ordinary person, and it would still take some time to catch up with the distance of more than 30 miles.
Shen Hao smiled and asked the young man named Ah Gui, "Your name is Ah Gui, isn't it!
Ah Gui bowed slightly and said, "The villain is Ah Gui! The cough herb that Gongzi said was picked by the villain in a canyon in the Lingyun Mountain Range!"
"Do you remember the exact location you picked up?" asked Shen Hao lightly.
"Remember, this cough suppressant grass was picked by the villain yesterday, and I will definitely not forget it!" said Agui with a smile.
"Okay, then we'll go now! You can take this ingot first, and when you find it, I'll give you another ingot. Take me to that canyon and have a look!I'm going to have a lot of cough suppressants!" As he spoke, Shen Hao had an extra silver ingot in his hand.
As soon as the sturdy young man named Agui saw the silver in Shen Hao's hand, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you Shen Gongzi, Gongzi, please, the little one will show you the way!" As he spoke, he took the silver ingot from Shen Hao's hand.
Ah Gui didn't expect that he would be able to earn a silver ingot just by leading the way this time. No, it's two ingots, because there's one more ingots of silver when you find a place.
You must know that this ingot of silver is almost the annual income of ordinary people. Even if he was engaged in such a dangerous job like Ah Gui, the income that year was only a few ingots of silver, how could this not make him excited.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them had reached the gate, where two servants were waiting with a horse each. Shen Hao and Ah Gui jumped on their horses respectively, and galloped in the direction of Lingyun Sect one after the other.
This Lingyun Mountain Range is where the Lingyun Sect is located. As one of the four major sects of the Heavenly Shang Kingdom, the Lingyun Sect covers an extremely vast area, and several peaks within a radius of dozens of miles are all the mountain gates of the Lingyun Sect.
The entire Lingyun Mountain Range, surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, often makes people feel like they are in a fairyland, and it is worthy of being the place where the gate of Xiuxian Mountain is located.
And the aura of this Lingyun Mountain Range is much richer than the other directions, so there are also a lot of spiritual herbs and elixirs growing in the canyon of the entire Lingyun Mountain Range. So much so that it attracts many medicine pickers to come to look for medicine, but the more places like this, the more difficult it is to find the elixir. I often find one, and it grows on the extremely steep cliffs.
Not far from the Lingyun Mountain Range, two horses were galloping all the way in front of them, and a layer of dust was raised everywhere they passed.
I saw that the person in front was a young man with a fair face, and the one in the back was a young man with a dark face. At this moment, the two of them were galloping on their horses, and in just a moment, they had already reached the foot of the Linyun Mountain Range.
These two people are Shen Hao and Ah Gui who galloped all the way.
Hearing the sound of a horse chirping, Shen Hao tightened the reins and stopped. In front of them was a deep and winding canyon, which was full of rocks, and was no longer suitable for horseback riding.
"Childe, walk about six or seven miles along this canyon, and that's almost where I picked the grass!" said after tethering the two horses to the trees, Agui stretched out his hand and pointed to the canyon in front of him.
"Okay, then let's go and have a look!" said Bento and walked over first.
Walking into the canyon, there is a large number of rocks around you, and a very small stream flows slowly from the middle of the canyon. The slopes on both sides of the canyon are lush with flowers and trees.
And among these flowers and trees, there is often a spiritual herb elixir hidden in it.
At this moment, Shen Hao suddenly felt that there seemed to be something behind him, and couldn't help but look behind him in confusion, but behind him was very empty, and he could see clearly at a glance, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
Seeing Shen Hao stop, Ah Gui asked out loud, "Is there anything wrong with Shen Gongzi?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" he said, still glancing behind him suspiciously.
Shen Hao shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's some animal on the hillside! Maybe it's because I care about it, so I'm so suspicious!"
Thinking of this, he continued to go inside, and as the two of them went deeper, they had almost reached the foot of Lingyun Sect Mountain.
Finally, after the two of them had gone deep for nearly half an hour, Ah Gui pointed to a small section of the mountain wall not far away and said to Shen Hao: "Shen Gongzi, this is there! ”
Shen Hao looked at the direction of Ah Gui's finger, and saw that there was a large bare area, almost a mile away, there was not a single grass, and there was not a single grass in sight.
I couldn't help but look at Ah Gui suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure it's here, why is there nothing here?" Not to mention trees, not even a single weed!"
Ah Gui hurriedly took a few steps forward, pointed to a small gap in the mountain wall and said, "Shen Gongzi, the grass I picked was pulled out of this mountain crevice. Strange to say, I didn't see the grass at the time, just a white mist floating there. At first, I was scared, but I dared to check it out, and it turned out that it was just a small piece of grass!"
Seeing Shen Hao's suspicious look, Ah Gui was also very nervous in his heart, and seeing that he was about to get another ingot of silver, he couldn't help but say everything he saw that day.
And at this moment, a voice sounded in Shen Hao's sea of consciousness, "He is right, that white mist is the phantom spirit mist emitted by the Nine Turns Returning Yang Grass when it matures, and generally there will be this similar psychedelic spirit mist when the Heavenly Treasure is ripe." And it is precisely because of these nine turns of returning to the yang grass that this large area will not grow a single grass. But seeing that this is only a small mile away, I'm sure there will be a treasure here. ”
"Can you sense where that treasure is?" Shen Hao asked with his divine sense towards Ding Liu.
"My current cultivation realm is still too low, and my divine sense can only detect the range of two hundred meters around, and I can't feel the existence of that thing at all!" Ding Lu said in a helpless tone.
And Shen Hao just needs to be confirmed again, as long as it is confirmed that it is here, then there is no need to worry.
Immediately, he took out another ingot of silver, and said to Agui: "Agui, thank you for your guidance along the way, this is another ingot of silver, you can go back directly after you accept it!"
At this time, Agui, who was originally nervous because of Shen Hao's suspicion, was suddenly stunned, although he didn't deceive at all, but he didn't expect Shen Hao to believe it so easily. After all, this place is really barren, and it doesn't look like a place where that grass grows at all.
At this time, Ah Gui's mood flew directly to the sky from the bottom of the valley, after this big ups and downs, his mood was already excited, and he happily took the silver in Shen Hao's hand, and said: "I just helped Gongzi lead the way, and I didn't make any effort, so it's better to let me stay and help Gongzi find it together!"
Shen Hao could hear that this was indeed a sincere passage from Gui. But the purpose of Shen Hao's trip is not the so-called cough suppressant, of course, there is no need to look for it.
Shen Hao smiled and said: "Agui, you must also know that I am a monk! I see the beautiful mountains and rivers here! I want to cultivate here, I will understand your kindness, let's go back for the time being!"
Ah Gui glanced at the bare mountains and rocks, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "This place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't, there is not even a single grass, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful!
Thinking of this, Ah Gui couldn't help sighing and said, "Since this is the case, then the villain will go back first! Thank you today!"
"En!" Shen Hao snorted lightly, then ignored this Ah Gui, and just looked curiously at the narrow stone crack on the stone wall.
Shen Hao watched Agui's figure disappear into the canyon, and then began to think about this treasure digging.
It's still daytime or you're inevitably being seen, so let's wait until night. Thinking of this, Shen Hao sat down cross-legged on the edge of the stone wall.
