Text Chapter 262 Edelweiss Polar Cotton
Li Zhi gritted his teeth, smashed through the larger ice layer with his body, and stepped into the waterhole with his feet, almost instantly he could clearly feel that the true qi in his body was stimulated by the cold water, and was speeding up, and at the same time, he was constantly resisting the invasion of the cold intent, but he also fed back the spiritual energy contained in the cold qi to his body.
There was a strange energy in the cold that rushed to the cracks in the bones, making Li Zhi's body tremble every inch as if it had been poked by a thousand sharp needles, and the energy silk invaded the bone marrow, and soon a layer of ice slag appeared on his body, starting from the soles of his feet, and spreading to his jaw in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the moment his body came into contact with the pool water again, his sense of perception suddenly reappeared, and he was pleasantly surprised to perceive that a blue water spirit bead was floating a foot deep below the surface of the water.
Although the cold in the water was extremely terrifying, Li Zhi's original long breathing sound was also when the true qi in his body was running wildly to compete with the cold in the bones, causing his breathing to become heavier and disordered, and the cold entered the body as if it was split, and it was difficult to handle the bones!
And at this moment, the wood spirit bead in his arms seemed to have a trace of connection with the water spirit bead in the dark, and suddenly waved out a bubbling aura, and when Li Zhi's body was immersed in the water, and he gradually felt that the outside of his body was like a bulky armor covering the thick ice, the overflow of the aura immediately made the pressure around him plummet.
The blue water spirit bead suspended in the water also responded with aura, and the moment the two breaths came into contact, Li Zhi had already grabbed it, and he couldn't care about the cold and fierce in his hand, almost letting him let go and give up, and hurriedly jumped out of the water.
The jade bottle in the other hand, due to the water stains, the stone yuan liquid inside also overflowed the bottle, but the water spirit bead stopped trembling in an instant, and frantically sucked the aroma emitted by the stone yuan liquid.
After a few steps through the suspended ice, looking for a dry place, placing the water spirit bead and the jade bottle on the ground, and quickly taking out the wood spirit bead, he had the opportunity to inhale the Shi Yuan liquid spiritual qi in a big gulp, so that the true qi in his body could quickly recover the warmth on his body.
When I looked down again, the two beads seemed to be very familiar, although it was obvious that the qi overflowing from Shi Yuanye was clearly submerged into the spirit beads, it was obvious that they were frantically sucking, but it did not affect some kind of communication between the two.
That kind of invisible communication, of course, is not as intimate as a living creature, but the aura flowing between each other is clearly filled with joy and trembling.
As the water spirit bead left the waterhole that was only a few zhang square, the sky above it dispersed like mist, and the cold air was rapidly melting, gradually warming like the morning sun, and the surrounding scenery was gradually clearly visible.
The suspended ice layer also fell into the air with a faint click, and it turned into clear water and flowed into the waterhole when it landed, Li Zhi was surprised, took a few steps, leaned down and picked it up, and the water flowed in the palm of his hand and still sent a coolness, which directly penetrated into the body.
The entrance of clear water is not as clear as ordinary water without any taste, with a sweetness that can penetrate the heart, that is, that little bit of clear water, which quickly spreads into the body, and the water that spreads out contains spirituality and is directly absorbed by the meridians in the body.
After exhausting all his qi before, he recovered a lot in a moment, and there was an obvious sense of aura wandering from the inside, which made him feel comfortable all over his body in a blink of an eye, and the flow of qi and blood seemed to be smoother and smoother.
The meridians in the body are like babies waiting to be fed, devouring the spirituality that spreads out of the clear water, and constantly generating new spiritual energy in the process of devouring, which can be directly absorbed by one's own qi and blood.
Li Xinxin moved, and was about to turn around and climb up, but when he slapped his forehead, he was so happy that he ignored the two beads on the ground, so as not to forget them, but for fear that if he turned back again, they would not know where to hide.
Stuffed them back into his arms, it seemed to cause reluctance and throbbing, Li Zhi took them out again, probed into the true qi, and tried to communicate with his thoughts, Shui Lingzhu seemed to be in a state of love and indifference, but Mu Lingzhu gave him a hint of affection.
The idea was reached, regardless of whether the wood spirit bead was clear or not, and was sent back to his arms again, to his surprise, only the water spirit bead was still trembling slightly, but it quieted down after a while.
Picking up the branch of the Misty Valley Tree, it was much faster to climb through the passage again, after all, the true qi returned to the detection, knowing that there was no risk, and when the branch was bright again, he shook the rope on his body, and shouted loudly to the well.
The meaning of the words is that they should find some water quality vessels as soon as possible, the water in the pool, there is obvious aura, under the limited conditions of Shi Yuanye, there is no doubt that this pool of water can maintain everyone's cultivation speed extremely fast.
Untie the rope around your waist, let the person above pull it up, and then coil it up and put it in your backpack.
The rope is a must-have item in the armaments of the light cavalry, and Li Zhi asked for one in advance, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
After a while, there was a shout from the old six, and the water holding tools that were postponed made Li Zhi cry and laugh, but everyone carried leather water bladders around them, and each one was only more than a few catties full.
After being told that a large number of contents were needed, the rope was pulled up again, and Li Zhi also returned to the waterhole cave and filled the water bladder one by one.
This time it was a huge tank that could not be hugged by one person, with a thick layer of moss, indicating that it had come from the ruins of Tsz Wan Temple, but this thing could not pass through the narrow passage.
Fortunately, there was a huge copper kettle with a spout in the water tank, and it took Li Zhi a long time to sharpen it with a stone lid and seal it.
No matter how big the copper kettle is, it can only fill ten catties of water, but with the water in those skin bags, the water tank can be roughly cleaned.
With these loose items, it took nearly half an hour to fill the water tank back and forth.
When the empty tank was sent back again, the figure of Tong Lao Liu also appeared on the rope, Li Zhixiao asked: "Don't you just find this water tank, where did you pour the water?" ”
Tong Lao Liu laughed: "As soon as the water tank went up, the aura in it was felt by everyone, and there was a dry pool in the ruins on the ground, which was also cleaned out." The Seventh Master went back to gather more containers, and he said that this kind of water quality is taken all year round, but it has great benefits for cultivation! ”
"I can't hold much more than I can take, so can't I bring the water truck too?"
"Little Hou Ye, you are really right, Uncle Seventh has this plan, and said that more people will be mobilized to help us carry water down the mountain, and the water truck will not reach the foot of the mountain, so we need to put out buckets!"
There are also more than 1,000 catties of underground water beach, and a water truck is only 300 catties, so if you want to transport it back to Chang'an City, there will be at least four water trucks.
But Li Zhi didn't have time to think about this, the two people took turns to climb in and out, the second tank of water was full, and more people seemed to come at the wellhead.
He didn't respond to the sixth child's suggestion to let him go up and rest first, there were still plants to dig in the underground cave.
It is a kind of polar cotton born in the permafrost, which can still bloom edelweiss-like flowers in such a cold environment, and how tenacious the vitality of such plants must be.
And its warmth effect must be extraordinary, there are hundreds of plants underground, and he is convinced that with the water diluted by Shi Yuan's liquid poured into it, it should not be a problem to survive.
When the water in the tank rises, Tang Qi and Fang Pin will follow, and with two people joining, Li Zhi can go to dig the plants in the cave.
Each of the plants called polar cotton by Li Zhi has a small pompom on its top, like the white of ordinary cotton, and from a distance, it looks like countless pearls scattered in the original frozen space.
In fact, they use these balls to protect their seeds from frost damage, and they grow in large areas around the waterholes, which look like snow, full of incredible wonders.
On the ground of each polar cotton, there are also lichen-like algae mosses that grow on the ground, which look like clusters of dead branches and leaves, and their roots secrete lichen acid, dissolve rocks, draw nutrients from them, and fix themselves at the same time.
The sturdy skin of this moss resists water evaporation caused by low temperatures, strong winds and dryness, and forms an algae-like water supply system for lichens and polar cotton, the tree of life.
The combination of two weak life forms looks really mediocre, but they have extremely tenacious vitality, and they can survive in ultra-low temperature conditions, and Li Zhi is looking forward to how strong the cotton fabrics made by them will have.
When Li Zhi finally returned to the ground, he had already become a mud monkey, attracting Pang Qi to wipe it with pity, and Qingqi was very clever under Li Zhi's hint, helping him to a secret place.
Only Yu Ran followed, thinking that the three girls were wiping Li Zhi's body, so no one came to condole, so they all avoided from a distance, so as to leave them a relatively secluded place.
Li Zhi quickly took out the water spirit bead from his arms and handed it to Qing Qi: "You are the water spirit root physique, this water spirit bead will be controlled by you." ”
He handed over the bottle of Shi Yuan liquid mixed with water again, "Let it absorb enough spiritual energy in your hand, and then drop a drop of blood to let it recognize its master!" Remember that before dripping blood to confess the Lord, I always wrapped it in true qi and tried to communicate with it. ”
turned to look at Yu Ran, "You are the Earth Spirit Root, wait for my brother to find a chance to find the Earth Spirit Bead for you in the future!" ”
Yu Ran smiled meekly, and couldn't help him wipe his face: "Sister is not in a hurry, according to what you said, there may only be one of the five attributes in the world, and two have already appeared, and we have the luck to meet them!" ”
Pang Si was already thinking about untying his clothes, but Li Zhi hurriedly refused: "There are many people here, let's talk about it in the evening!" ”
"Poof!" The three girls laughed together, and Pang said angrily: "I know that I want to be cheap, but you are dirty, and you just changed your body in the morning!" ”
Li Zhi took out the polar cotton that had been crushed by the backpack, which attracted Pang Qi's surprise in succession: "It must be cold down there, right?" This is an edelweiss, only born in the extreme cold, with a terrifying ability to withstand the cold, my brother wants to cultivate it into pieces and weave cotton to fill the clothes? It's just that there is no corresponding cold and freezing environment, and I am afraid that after they survive, they will not have the ability to resist the cold! ”
He pointed to the moss, "This is the place where the edelweiss is attached to survive, I want to infuse it to dilute the stone element liquid, first so that it can survive, and then find a suitable environment to expand the seed production area, even if it is not successful, it doesn't matter, I mainly focus on its tenacious vitality, and it can also be used in medicine with miraculous effects!" ”
Pang Qi nodded, "Maybe it's a bit extravagant to use diluted stone yuan liquid, but because of the harsh growth environment of this kind of edelweiss, its existence value is no less than that of the Lost Valley Tree." Brother Zhengwen, our trip to Lishan is really huge, plus the iron birch you mentioned, these plants are just a little vague in the memory, and the real thing is the first time to see it! ”
"What's more important is Shi Yuanye, that thing is almost tailor-made for cultivators, I'm afraid it will take tens of thousands of years to condense it, right?" Yu Ran was more concerned about Shi Yuanye, which could no longer be described as rare.
Li Zhiwei smiled, "I'm afraid that if I stay in the mountains for a few more days, I won't want to go back to the city." However, it is impossible for us to always encounter magical encounters in the mountains, and maybe the next time we come will have nothing! ”
This is only the periphery of Zhongnan Mountain, the real deep mountains and old forests, Li Zhi plans to enter it in the future, at that time he will not be like this time, after all, it is already in the strict inspection of the imperial court, and it is not easy to attract attention when he goes secretly.
