Chapter 16: Stealing Grass (I)
Although it had only been a few days of cultivation, Yan Yan had already clearly noticed that Ai Xiang's steps were much lighter and faster than before, and the speed of the two of them was qualitatively improved compared to when they went up the mountain.
Yan Yan's heart once again gave birth to a strong desire to cultivate.
The two of them ran quickly for a while, and a relatively flat ravine loomed in front of them. It is Meng Huazong's medicine garden spiritual field.
Yan Yan had found this place before, and had secretly infiltrated the medicine garden to investigate, but he had never found Jiu Suiji.
Just as Yan Yan was about to enter the medicine garden along the route that he had already explored, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Ai Xiang.
"This road is a shortcut to Lingtian, I have walked it several times, and there will be no mistake. Yan Yan thought that Ai Xiang was not at ease and explained.
Ai Xiang didn't speak, closed her eyes and carefully felt the breath in the air.
Seeing her like this, Yan Yan stopped talking. She had seen Ai Xiang looking for medicine, and every time she used the unique ability of the medicine clan to find medicinal herbs, it was in this state.
After just a few breaths, Ai Xiang suddenly turned around and walked in the other direction, saying as she walked: "It's true that there is a medicine garden over there, but there is nothing you are looking for there." ”
Yan Yan was surprised: "How do you know what I'm looking for?"
Stealing Jiusui was a secret that only she and Canghua knew, and she didn't mention it to anyone, including Ai Xiang.
Ai Xiang turned her head and smiled at Yan Yan: "Don't forget, I'm the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Clan." As long as it has something to do with plants, you can hide it from others, but you definitely can't hide it from me. ”
Yan Yan's eyes condensed slightly, and his tone was a little heavy: "There are so many immortal grass spirit plants in the world, how do you know that I want Jiu Suiji?"
Ai Xiang nodded: "You are right, although there are many elixirs, but for you now, nothing else is important for the time being, and there is only one most important one, which is Jiusui Ji." ”
Seeing that Yan Yan didn't speak again, Ai Xiang continued: "You are about to travel far away, and you will encounter many hardships and dangers on the way, and quickly improving your cultivation is the most urgent thing for you right now. And Jiu Sui Ji can not only be used as dry food for traveling, but also help you speed up your cultivation progress, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. ”
"You can buy most of the medicines on the road. Only the nine spikes can only be planted in the spiritual fields within the sect, and the nine spikes planted by each sect are to improve the cultivation of their own disciples, and they will basically not be sold. Therefore, getting Jiu Sui Ji is the only reason why you are stranded in Meng Huazong these days. ”
Yan Yan looked at Ai Xiang with dark eyes, a shallow mark appeared at the corner of his lips, and his voice was a little deep: "It is worthy of being the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Clan, I really can't hide it from you." ”
Ai Xiang was a little proud: "Jiu Sui Ji is an indispensable spiritual plant for cultivating immortal sects, especially junior disciples, and there are many people who want to get it, so naturally they will not be planted with ordinary elixirs." ”
"But Jiusui has a special aura that ordinary people can't detect, but it can't hide the sense of smell from our medicine people. You follow me, you're sure!"
The two quickly crossed the forest path, and at the end of the road, a well-tended medicine field appeared.
Obviously different from the medicine shop just now, this medicine field is more hidden, and the area is much smaller than the medicine field just now. If Ai Xiang hadn't led the way, Yan Yan wouldn't have been able to find this place at all.
The two of them hid in the forest next to the medicine field and took a closer look, and found that next to the medicine field, there were also several special houses built, and there were obviously disciples in the sect who guarded them.
"Look, that's Jiusui Ji!" Ai Xiang pointed to a misty field near the house, her tone filled with excitement.
Yan Yan looked in the direction of Ai Xiang's finger, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.
I originally thought that the incomparably precious Jiu Sui Ji should look so extraordinary, full of fairy flavor...... But the green and long thing in front of her is hanging upside down one ear after another, and there are still wheat mangs growing on the top, isn't it wheat?
Isn't this the realm of mountains and seas?
Isn't it a fantasy world full of all kinds of natural materials and treasures, and monsters and monsters are rampant?
Even the wheat has been mixed into immortal plants, can you set it up a little more advanced, hey!
On the earth, the output of this thing is very high, and it is absolutely no problem to feed billions of mouths, and she knew that the wheat in this place is so valuable, so she purchased a few truckloads of belts and became rich overnight.
Seeing that Yan Yan's expression was very complicated when he saw Jiu Sui Ji, there were surprises, disappointments, doubts, and some disdain, Ai Xiang smiled and patiently explained to her: "Have you opened your eyes? ”
"At the beginning of spring, summer flowers, autumn fruit, winter storage, the process of nine ears of grasslet growth needs to go through four times of reincarnation, not like rice millet, summer birth, this season can be fruitful. Therefore, the Nine Spikes Grass Fruit contains abundant spiritual power, and eating it can quickly replenish spiritual power for cultivators. ”
Yan Yan's reaction was diametrically opposed to Ai Xiang, not unusual at all, and asked calmly: "This thing can't be grown by the people?"
Ai Xiang explained: "A long time ago, Jiu Sui Ji could actually be planted in the folk, and since the disappearance of spring, the nine Sui Ji that originated in spring can only be planted in the fairy spirit field. ”
After she mentioned Yan Yanyan, she suddenly remembered that there is no spring in this world.
Looking at Ai Xiang with a lost face, Yan Yan silently made up: If Ai Xiang knew that the Spring God was being carried by her now, I don't know how this girl would react.
Ai Xiang's voice brought back Yan Yan's wandering thoughts: "These nine ears of grass in the spiritual field are not yet ripe, and they can't be eaten, so we have to go to the medicine warehouse to find them." ”
Glancing at the green ears of wheat, Yan Yan of course knew that this was still alive, and his eyes looked at the two houses, only to see one of them with candles through the window.
Judging from experience, there must be someone in the room where the lights are on, and most of the black lights are medicine warehouses.
Yan Yan pointed to the dark room: "You go in and get something, I'll take care of the wind at the door." In case you are discovered, I will lure people away, and you take the opportunity to hurry away. It doesn't matter if you get something or not, try not to expose you, everything is on safety. ”
Ai Xiang shook her head: "You go in and get something, I'm responsible for the wind, you can see how much you need." Rest assured, once discovered, I know what to do. ”
After speaking, Ai Xiang didn't wait for Yan Yan to speak, turned around and sneaked towards Lingtian.
Yan Yan frowned and glanced at Ai Xiang's back, and had to follow.
The two of them first came to the lighted window, peeking through the gap in the half-open wooden window, the room was not large, and there was a square table against the inner wall, and in front of the table was a young monk, who was fiddling with a few small wooden blocks with the lamp and candle, looking very attentive.
The young monk had his back to the window, unable to see his appearance, but Yan Yan always felt that the Taoist clothes on his body were somewhat familiar. Time was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she and Ai Xiang went into another room.
This is indeed a medicine warehouse, with many tall medicine racks, and some farm tools such as medicine hoes and shovels in the corner.
Ai Xiang swept her eyes around, raised her legs and walked towards a few sacks by the window.
Yan Yan used the knife he carried with him to cut the sealing rope, and the golden wheat suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Ai Xiang grabbed a handful and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it vigorously, looking intoxicated: "It's really fragrant, that's it! I'm out to guard, you move quickly!" After speaking, he walked out.
Yan Yan remembered Canghua's reminder, and only packed a small bag to make seeds, and after sending it to the Sumeru realm, in order to prevent being detected, he tied the mouth of the bag again.
was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Ai Xiang's scream outside: "Yan Yan, save me!"
