Chapter 16: Bitter Spirit Grass
Two months later, the Tianxiang Spirit Grass grew, only the lower eleven beads, and the other two plants suddenly showed signs of withering a few days ago, and the young shoots were a little yellow.
On that day, Yang Mu sensed that the two Heavenly Fragrance Spirit Grasses were wantonly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and vitality, and decisively pulled out the two Heavenly Fragrance Spirit Grasses, even pulling out the grass roots, so as not to swallow the spiritual power of other spirit grasses.
It's already good to be able to grow eleven beads. Yesterday, the middle-aged man with a long beard came again, and he was very happy to see that there were eleven pearls of heavenly fragrant spirit grass, and he casually threw two low-level spirit stones to Yang Mu, which was a reward, and told Yang Mu before leaving, to take care of eleven pearl heavenly fragrant spirit grass, take care of it well, and there will be rewards in the future.
Yang Mu has been in the inner mountain to take care of this spiritual garden for more than three months, and the environment with strong spiritual energy and the daily display of melting spirit and yang have made his understanding of this technique even better.
Now, Yang Mu finally dared to perform this technique on the elixir in the spiritual garden that was more than a hundred years old. On the first day, the effect was still good.
In fact, among the only remaining spells in Yang Mu's memory, there is also a secret method of ripening, called Tianyang Jue, but his mana is still weak and he can't cultivate, so he can only use the Soul Melting Yang to ripen and mature.
After being used for half a month, Yang Mu roughly calculated, once a day to melt the spirit and turn into yang, the effect on the ripening of the elixir of more than a hundred years is very small, and the ripening of the elixir for half a month has grown for an extra hour.
Melting Soul Yang does not have much effect on ripening, and poplar has no other choice now. However, melting the spirit and turning the yang made the elixir grow extremely vigorously, especially the highest vintage crane clear flower, which was second only to the silver soul grass in the care of poplar.
In this way, Yang Mu continued his life as a spirit plant, and as time passed, he looked forward to the maturity of the Silver Soul Grass even more. Five years, he would have to stay here for at least five years before he could use the Silver Soul Grass to solve his current predicament.
Time flies, two years have passed, and Yang Mu has been staying in the Spirit Garden for the past two years and has never left. It has been the third year since he was distracted and crossed the space into the mortal realm, and if he calculates the time, the deity of the spirit realm should have perished, and he would have been destroyed under the sixty-nine thunder tribulations.
In the past two years, Yang Mu has planted a lot of new elixirs, all of which are tasks assigned by Yun Qin Peak's high-level Qi Condensation Cultivators, and the long-bearded middle-aged man who first let Yang Mu plant Heavenly Fragrance Spirit Grass has come twice in the middle.
Yang Mu felt that this person was very good, and he planted this person's spirit seed twice, and was rewarded with five low-level spirit stones, which was much easier to talk than others.
There was a monk of the ninth layer of condensing qi, who looked like Yang Mu had a festival, and in those days he called Yang Mu like a slave, planted fifteen elixirs, broke three plants, and blamed Yang Mu for his crimes, and wanted to punish Yang Mu and deduct his profits. Fortunately, Yang Linghai mediated and exempted Yang Mu from punishment, and the profits were distributed as usual.
The Spiritual Garden planted one hundred and nine new elixirs from the poplar in two years, transplanted thirteen elixirs, and the one hundred and nineteen elixirs in the original Spiritual Garden, except for the twenty-one that were picked by high-ranking monks in the middle, the rest grew very well.
There are nine spiritual peaks in the inner mountain, each spiritual peak has a spiritual garden, and high-level monks also have their own spiritual gardens, and there is no spiritual garden that does not damage the elixir in two years.
Yang Linghai also rewarded Yang Mu for this, rewarding twenty low-rank spirit stones at one time, and increasing his profit to two low-level spirit stones every month, and most importantly, rewarding a storage bag.
After calculation, in the past two years, in addition to the lost spirit stones, Yang Mu has saved forty low-level spirit stones, and with a storage bag, there is no need to put them in the trap box in the house, and they can be carried around.
Yangmu's storage bag had a small capacity, forty low-grade spirit stones plus his mother's urn, which took up one-third of the space. It's better to have than nothing, and poplar is still very content.
With the storage bag, Yang Mu planned to take the opportunity to go out and bring back the copper basin. Buried outside, poplar is always a little uneasy and used to carrying it with him.
If you go out, Yang Mu needs to find a suitable excuse, otherwise he will be suspected, and he needs to keep it secret and leave secretly. In the inner mountains, Yang Mu still has a few enemies who can't wait for him to die, if Yang Xiao's people know, it will be dangerous to go out of the mountain.
Yang Mu lowered his head and looked at the storage bag, thinking of his mother's words before his death, he had not yet fulfilled them, maybe now was an opportunity.
One thousand miles to the south of Yunxia Mountain, Luoxia Town and Yunxia Town outside Yunxia Mountain are adjacent to each other, and they both belong to Xiayuzhou in Jiangling State. Yunyin Mountain is the boundary mountain between the two towns and is the hometown of Yang Mu's mother.
Yang Yin's two families, every few years, will send monks, to the nearby towns to find mortals in the spirit of the root of the child, the spirit root is high under the door, the spirit root is low, the male is the child, the woman is the furnace, the immortal world often has the means of collecting yin to supplement the yang, taking the yang to nourish the yang.
When Yang Mu's mother was twelve years old, she was taken by the Yang family monks who went out and brought back to Yunxia Mountain to become a furnace. For decades, she has never left Yunxia Mountain, her status is low, she can't leave, she only hopes to be able to bury her homeland after death.
"It's time to take my mother back......" Yang Mu muttered.
Yang Mu was limited by the loss of the origin of the Yuan Shen and could not enter the second layer of condensing qi, but in the past two years, the mana of his dantian had accumulated a lot of mana, and it was a secret technique called Luo Xi Xuanfa, and he remembered the previous part, which could compress the mana in the dantian.
Although Yang Mu is still only at the first level of Qi Condensation, his mana is far superior to that of the Yang family's second-layer disciples of Qi Condensation, and with a little more mana, he can cultivate some offensive spells.
Offensive spells consume more mana than spirit plant spells, and poplar mana was weak in the past, unable to sustain the casting of a spell. Ordinary monks start to cultivate low-level low-grade spells from the second layer of Qi Condensation, and Yang Mu has strong mana to cultivate spells.
In Yang Mu's memory, there were no attack spells suitable for him to cultivate, but the Yang family had a lot of low-level low-grade spells, and in the past two years, he had only learned fire control techniques, and he could control fist-sized fireball attacks, which could last for about a quarter of an hour.
In addition, among the worldly mortals, Yang Mu is proficient in a kind of ghost step, holding each other with mana, and the speed is very fast, not as good as Yang Linghai two years ago, but it is more powerful and faster than Yang Yuhua's.
A low-level cultivator like him, against a monk of the same realm, his flexible body can avoid the enemy's spell attacks, he can save his life in a crisis, and it is more conducive to escaping, which is Yang Mu's preparation for his outing.
Just when Yang Mu was about to leave the Spiritual Garden and go to Yang Linghai to go out under an excuse, it happened that Yang Linghai arrived in the Spiritual Garden, followed by a man about fifty or sixty years old.
The man wore long black hair, which was scattered to his shoulders, and his black hair was mixed with a few white hairs, and his face was serious. Yang Linghai is somewhat similar to a man, and should be Yang Linghai's direct elder, grandfather or father.
Compared with two years ago, Yang Linghai's cultivation has gone one step further, stepping into the middle layer of condensation, the fourth layer. And this man, whose aura is even more powerful, is the strongest among the monks Yang Mu has seen in the mortal realm, even stronger than his father, and it should be the tenth-layer Great Perfection realm of condensation.
"Yang Mu, where are you going?" Watching Yang Mu walk out of the gate of the Spirit Garden, Yang Linghai asked curiously.
"Clan brother...... Yang Mu clenched his fists and gestured twice, respectively at Yang Linghai and the man, "The junior brother is trying to find the clan brother." ”
"Oh...... Look for me, it looks like you have something important. But for now, I'll introduce you to ......."
"No need to ......" The man stretched out his hand and stopped Yang Linghai, "The old man Yun Qinfeng's deputy peak master is Ling Hai's father. You're poplar. ”
"Younger Yang Mu, I have seen the seniors ......"
"Yesterday, I heard that Ling Hai found a spirit planter for my Yun Qin Peak who thought that the spirit plant was extremely talented, and in the past two years, the spirit garden has doubled under your care, and there is no damage to the spirit plant, but it is growing very well. The middle-aged man said about Yang Mu's achievements in the past two years.
Not knowing what he meant, Yang Mu did not speak. However, after the man finished speaking, he walked past Yang Mu and entered the spiritual garden directly, it seemed that he wanted to really take a look at the spiritual garden.
"It's good, lush, so much better than it was five years ago. Ling Hai, you have found a very good person, who can be called a spirit planter. The man smiled rarely.
"Father, Yang Mu's spiritual cultivation level should be the strongest in my Yang family for a hundred years, but it's a pity that his cultivation is a little low. ”
The middle-aged man suddenly focused his gaze on Yang Mu, and probed up and down a few times, "Well, the cultivation is indeed a little lower." is still young, but there is hope to enter the fourth layer of condensation. How's that crane flower?"
"One hundred and fifty years, the medicinal power is very good, enough to be used as the main medicine of Tsukidan. Yang Mu responded.
"Do you also know the main medicine of Zhuji Dan? Go quickly, go and pick it up, the old man wants to use the medicine." ”
Yang Mu didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly to the middle of the spiritual land, walking along the ditch. The crane Qinghua is planted in the middle of the spiritual land, the position where the aura is the strongest, after a transplantation, but not a poplar transplant, but many years ago, I don't know whose handwriting.
"There is still a shortage of bitter spirit grass, but unfortunately this bitter spirit grass is still a year away, which is not very easy to do. The man muttered.
"Father, if you don't refine the Zhuji Dan a year later, the main medicine is not complete, and if you don't use enough one hundred and fifty years of bitter spirit grass, the rate of becoming a pill is extremely low. ”
The man shook his head and said distressedly: "I don't know, but that Master Chen only gave me a month to gather a furnace of Zhuji Dan elixir, and he will leave Jiangling Kingdom in a month, even if he has enough years of elixir, where can I find a trustworthy alchemist for my father." ”
Just now, Yang Mu came back with a crane Qinghua, brought it over with mud, and presented it to the middle-aged man.
Yang Mu's return made Yang Linghai suddenly see a little hope, and asked, "Yang Mu, do you have any way to make the bitter spirit grass old enough." ”
This question stopped Yang Mu, and the middle-aged man looked at Yang Mu and forgot to take the crane Qinghua that Yang Mu offered.
"The bitter fragrance emitted by the bitter spirit grass is still very faint now, and it will take at least eleven months to meet the requirements of the main medicine of Zhuji Dan. It's too long, I'm not sure. ”
Hearing it, it was not that there was no way, but that they were not sure, and Yang Linghai's father and son's eyes lit up and saw hope.
