Chapter 456: Elixir
On those bamboo slips, there are no particularly secret things recorded, just some history about the true martial arts world. These contents are not particularly important for Sunan, but they are quite important materials for the real martial arts world.
Sunan believed that with this information alone, he was qualified to go and see the management.
After searching again and making sure that nothing was missed, Sunan packed the bamboo slips on his back and began to look for the way out. The original tunnel only entered the valley in one direction, and it was impossible to get out of there.
Since the Confucian sect will build the sect in this valley, Sunan believes that there must be a passage.
This compound occupies only a small part of the valley, and most of the valley is still wilderness. After Sunan entered the valley, he mainly searched the courtyard, and for the outside, he had not yet checked.
"What is this?"
Sunan was outside in the wilderness, carefully searching every inch of land, and along one direction, when he was about to approach the mountain wall, he found a small brown grass on the ground.
If you hadn't looked closely, you would have almost missed it, because the color of the grass was so close to the ground, and it was only the size of a fingernail, with a leaf on the left and right sides of the stem.
He attracted Sunan's attention because he had walked a distance of nearly ten meters, and there was only barren soil on the ground, but no plants. After discovering the grass, he observed it again, and found that with the grass as the center and a radius of ten meters, only the grass was the only plant in the entire area.
Something is abnormal, this little grass is obviously not ordinary, and Sunan squatted in front of him. Study carefully. He is a member of the Danyao Sect. Since childhood, I have learned to understand herbal medicine. It can be said that there is a wealth of knowledge.
However, in his memory, there is no record of this little grass.
"What could it be?"
Sunan took out the sword and carefully stabbed it into the ground from the side of the grass, trying to dig it out.
Sou!
A black shadow suddenly shot out from the mountain wall and rushed towards Sunan.
Fortunately, after Sunan discovered the abnormality of Xiaocao, he was careful. This little grass is most likely a elixir. Wherever there is a spirit creature, there must be a strange beast. This is when the pill gate introduces the elixir. Let's start with that.
Alien beasts have a sharper sense, and they are able to find more elixirs. Once found, guard the side and wait until the elixir is ripe so that it can be eaten.
Although Sunan paid most of his attention to Xiaocao, he still retained a little vigilance when he wanted to dig it out. After spotting a black shadow attacking him, he reacted quickly, drew back the sword inserted in the ground, and stabbed at the black shadow.
The black shadow could feel the murderous aura emanating from the Cadre's sword. Although he was in the air, his body twisted. Make an arc and duck to the side.
When the black shadow landed, Sunan also saw clearly that the black shadow turned out to be a lizard. The color that was close to the ground, staring at him with two large eyes, was looking at him with hatred.
Just a lizard has the skills of the True Martial Realm!
Feeling the momentum emanating from the lizard's body, Sunan's breath stagnated.
Among human beings, the master of the True Martial Realm is already standing at the pinnacle, but he didn't expect that this little lizard could also reach this realm.
In the face of masters of the same level, Sunan responded solemnly for the first time. All along, his opponents have been a little lower than him, allowing him to win without having to go all out. But this time it's different, this lizard, it's also a true martial realm. And, judging by its attack just now, it was fast and quick to react. If Sunan didn't pay enough attention to it, it was likely that the boat would capsize in the gutter and be planted on this little lizard.
As soon as the sword was drawn, Sunan took a step forward and stabbed straight at the lizard. The sharp sword pierced the air with a sizzling sound. This is a manifestation of his strength through the sword, which allows him to increase the range of his attacks and make the range of his attacks longer.
The body of the sword was still a meter or two away from the lizard, and the sword qi that came out of the sword had already pierced the lizard's body.
Although the lizard is the realm of the True Martial Realm, it has grown up in this valley since it was a child, and has not experienced a life-and-death struggle, and its combat experience is almost zero. Just now in the air, out of instinct, it dodged an attack from Sunan, which attracted Sunan's attention, and it used all its strength to deal with it, and it couldn't continue to dodge this time.
Seeing Sunan standing in the distance, he swung his sword at it, and the lizard was still wondering there. I felt a chill on my body, followed by a cone pain.
Chirping!
The lizard screamed and became afraid, but for the sake of the elixir, it couldn't give in, so it had to muster up its strength and launch an attack on Sunan.
If the lizard attacked Sunan just now, with its speed, it would still be able to cause a lot of trouble to Sunan. However, Sunan's mentality was firm, and when he found out that the lizard had the strength of the True Martial Realm, he didn't think too much about it at all, so he immediately used all his strength to attack, and also caused damage to it. Now, of course, it has the advantage.
In the face of the lizard's attack, although Sunan had an advantage, he didn't dare to be careless, and the sword of the cadre turned in his hand, forming arcs one after another, blocking in front of him, and guarding his body to the water.
As soon as the lizard rushed over, it felt the murderous aura of the cold invade its body again, and in desperation, it turned around again, preparing to retreat.
Of course, Sunan would not let go of this opportunity, taking advantage of the gap between the lizard's turn, the cadre stabbed out the sword again and slashed at the lizard's tail. With a sharp slash on it, the lizard's tail was cut in two.
Hit hard, the lizard rolled on the ground and screamed even more miserably.
Sunan's attack did not stop, and several swords were slashed and slashed at the lizard's limbs.
Although the lizard dodged left and right, after all, it had just been injured twice, which affected its agility, and it was still cut off by Sunan with two hind feet. Having lost its hind legs, the lizard could no longer crawl, and could only stare at Sunan fiercely with its eyes.
"I can't bear to see you suffer here, so I'd better send you on my way as soon as possible."
Sunan sighed lightly, originally he had no enmity with this lizard, but in order to compete for this elixir, there was only relative. He didn't believe that if he didn't do it, the lizard would let him go. Like the sneak attack just now, if he was not on guard, only that once, he would be killed by the lizard.
The sword in his hand was handed out again, and it stabbed straight into the lizard's head, nailing it to the ground.
Retracting his sword and standing there, Sunan thought back to what he had just done. Although it seems to be easy to win, only he knows the danger. The reason why the battle was able to end so quickly this time was the sharpness of the main interest cadres, and the reason why the lizard had no combat experience.
If he was empty-handed, even if the lizard was not very experienced in combat, he would have to go through many more troubles.
Thinking about this, Sunan was more satisfied with the Ganjiang Sword, which was the most precious treasure he had obtained so far.
Putting away the cadres, Sunan focused on the grass again.
Still unable to find any memories of the grass, Sunan was sure that it was the first time he had seen it. From the lizard's maintenance of the grass, he could judge this elixir. Moreover, this elixir should be even higher than the elixir he knew.
Since you have encountered it, even if you don't know what this elixir is for the time being, you can't miss it. Just now, Sunan was thinking about digging out the elixir, but was interrupted by a lizard. Now that the lizard has been lying on the ground, it has lost its life, and there is no disturbance, Sunan can concentrate on it and carefully dig out the elixir.
Although the elixir was exposed to the ground with only two leaves the size of a fingernail, its root system was unusually developed. A taproot, which goes nearly half a meter underground, and a longer lateral root, spreads out, about a meter away.
Fortunately, the soil is sandy, and southern Jiangsu has the help of a cadre sword, so it is easy to dig up. When he carefully dug out the entire elixir, he was shocked by the appearance of the elixir.
With such a well-developed root system, it is no wonder that all resources within ten meters can be snatched away, and other plants are not allowed to grow here.
The grass lies in Sunan's hands, emanating a rich fragrance from its roots. Seduced so much that Sunan's saliva flowed, he just wanted to bite down, bite the crystal root and bud, and chew it well.
I don't know what this elixir is for the time being, if you eat it directly, will it be dangerous, or it will be a waste of medicinal power, Sunan knows that refining the elixir into an elixir can maximize the use of the medicinal power of the elixir.
Just when Sunan was still hesitating, he found that the crystal-like roots and shoots of the elixir were slowly turning black from the tip of the root. After turning black, it then rots, turning into a centimeter-long dead branch that falls from the long roots of the grass to the ground.
"Not good!"
Sunan knew that this was because of his improper storage methods, which had damaged the elixir, and the efficacy of the elixir was rapidly eroding. After the potency of the medicine is lost, the elixir will turn into a dead branch.
However, how to keep this elixir, Sunan doesn't know anything at all, if the elixir is not dealt with immediately, I am afraid that it will not take long for the entire elixir to wither, the effect of the medicine will be lost, and at that time, it will really become a withered grass with no use value.
Do you want to eat it directly?
Sunan thought of a solution. It's just that this approach carries a lot of risk. Because he didn't know if this elixir was poisonous, and even if it wasn't, if it wasn't, if it was strong?
However, if Sunan doesn't take a risk now, he will only have to watch the elixir wither.
didn't have time to think about it, after Sunan had this idea in his heart, he quickly used his dry sword to cut off the roots of the withered elixir, and then cut the part of the roots that had not changed into finger-length sections.
Gather together, like eating a cucumber, stuff it in your mouth, click a bite, and chew it there.
The taste of the root of the elixir is a little sweet and crispy, without any coarse fibers, like jelly, and when you bite into your mouth, you just chew it a few times at will, and it becomes crushed. Sunan only felt fragrant and full of relish. I couldn't help but swallow a bite and eat the root of the elixir into my stomach.
Suddenly, Sunan felt a warm current rising from his dantian and quickly flowing towards his whole body. (To be continued......)
